Chapter 2055: A Vicious Woman

“It’s obvious that you haven’t taken my words to heart. Since you don’t care that your son might be sentenced to life in prison or even death, all I can do is keep my word.”

“No, no, no! You can’t do this to me! You can’t!!!”

Wu Jingzhong completely ignored Zhou Menglu’s pleas. He ordered coldly, “Take Zhou Menglu away and lock her up. Do whatever you deem necessary.”

The prison guards knew what ‘Do whatever you deem necessary’ meant. They agreed that someone as vicious as Zhou Menglu deserved that kind of treatment, so they immediately replied, “Yes.”

“Bring Zhou Mengjing here. I want to interrogate her personally.”

“Yes.”

Zhou Menglu was grabbed by the prison guards. She held on to the legs of the table with both her arms, resisting. She cried like a brokenhearted teenager and begged for mercy.

“Yunyun, help Mommy! Help your brother! I raised you! How could you treat me like this? Yunyun, you have everything now. Yet you not only refuse to help your brother and help your family with money, but you even remain silent as you watch your father treat me like this! Do you not have a conscience? I raised you for 21 years. I fed and clothed you! Aren’t you obliged to repay me? You continue behaving so coldly, and you’ll be struck by lightning!”

Sze Lingyun looked at Zhou Menglu with disgust.

“You don’t know anything. All you can know for sure is that Sze Junyan will suffer for the rest of his pointless life, and all because of your and your family’s actions.

“If you were willing to tell us the truth about what happened all those years ago, my father might have even helped you a bit out of pity. However, all you’ve done is lie. You caused my mother’s death, mistreated me, and even dared to say that your family provided me with free meals and that I’ll be struck by lighting for not helping you.

“Zhou Menglu, I’ve been working for my own keep ever since I turned three years old. I’ve been working in the fields since I was four and a half years old. I grew all the rice that your family got to enjoy. All these years, you’ve been using me for my labor. You eat and sell what I worked so hard to grow. I only got my nine years of primary and secondary education because it was compulsory. You never gave me a single cent and never allowed me to participate in a single school activity. You didn’t pay for my high school and college tuition. In fact, when I went to college, since you knew that the medical university provided a stipend, you asked me to give you all of the stipends I received monthly and threatened to come and cause a scene if I refused.

“Zhou Menglu, wake up! If a stepmother like you wasn’t struck by lightning after all you did, how could I, someone just investigating my mother’s death, get struck? Did you leave your brain at home when you were arrested?”

“It’s not a problem if she doesn’t want to say anything. Take her away and make her watch her son receive his sentence.”

With that, Wu Jingzhong instructed the prison guard sternly, “Make sure that she’s aware of whatever her son is sentenced to. Make sure she knows that she’s the reason why he’s going to suffer so much.”

“Yes.”

The prison guard watched this wealthy family drama unravel silently, his blood boiling. He wanted nothing more than to rush up and tear this vicious Zhou Menglu apart.

Upon receiving the governor’s order, he and the other guards immediately did what they had been instructed to.

As Zhou Menglu was about to be taken away, she recalled that she could have divided her four houses and given them all to her son. However, in her desire to get another house, had she desperately called Sze Lingyun back home. It was also because of her greed, trying to trick Sze Lingyun into getting married, that had ultimately led to her being caught by Sze Lingyun’s friends as a criminal.
