The Long-awaited Mr Han
chapter-2213

“What do we do now?” Xia Qingyang asked nervously.

Lawyer Huang replied, “There are two options now. One, let the judge sentence you according to your actions. Lengths of sentences will be based on the weight of your crime.

“The other is to let one person shoulder all the blame.”

Xia Qingyang paused while Lu Qi objected immediately, “No! No way! It’s unfair to let one person take all the blame!”

He Zhengbai looked at Lu Qi and Xia Qingyang, silent.

Lawyer Huang said, “Among you, Mr. He is an accessory, and his offense is likely the lightest. Based on the current evidence, Mrs. Lu was not the instigator.. Because the majority of the assets are under Miss Lu’s name, her sentence will be the heaviest. ”

Xia Qingyang instantly looked towards Lu Qi.

Xia Qingyang transferred most of the assets to Lu Qi back then so as to prevent Lu Qiyuan from dividing the assets up during a divorce.

Plus, she only had Lu Qi as a daughter, so naturally, she’d give all these to her.

She was confident then that Lu Qi wouldn’t leave her in the dust afterward.

There was no need for schemes with Lu Qi.

Who knew that something done out of consideration for Lu Qi would now be something that landed her in hot soup.

Lu Qi instantly turned ashen-faced.

Numbingly silent for a long moment, she finally spoke. “Since… since my offense is the worst, then I’ll shoulder all the blame.

“Since I appear to be the mastermind according to the evidence…” Lu Qi lowered her head, forcing herself to not look at Xia Qingyang.

She felt that Xia Qingyang was the instigator instead!

This whole thing was proposed by Xia Qingyang in the first place.

She was the one who suggested transferring his assets when Lu Qiyuan was heavily ill.

Based on Lu Qiyuan’s circumstances then, he actually wanted to leave a part of his inheritance to Lu Man.

Xia Qingyang obviously wouldn’t agree to that. She didn’t want a cent to go to Lu Man.

Moreover, Lu Qiyuan’s an unreliable jerk, so it was better that they planned for themselves early.

Otherwise, the ones ending up without any money from him might be them.

Because of Xia Qingyang’s words, Lu Qi then decided to do it.

So if they wanted an instigator, it had to be Xia Qingyang!

Yet what was this? With the assets under Lu Qi’s name, Lu Qi was the one in trouble while the instigator could go free after their crimes got revealed!

Fortunately, Xia Qingyang couldn’t read Lu Qi’s mind, or she’d be mad.

Who knew she’d given birth to an ingrate. Lu Qi was the one who suggested moving the assets to her name initially.

Xia Qingyang felt that all the battles she fought were for Lu Qi anyway.

Would Lu Qi not care about her in her twilight years? Not likely.

Xia Qingyang never expected her kind intentions would all be fed to the dogs.

Lu Qi had coaxed her with such a honeyed tongue back then, and knowing she’d agreed to transfer the holdings to her name, she further cozied up to her.

And yet, now, she thought Xia Qingyang was purposely framing her.

Fortunately, Xia Qingyang didn’t know of Lu Qi’s thoughts or she’d burst into tears right then and there—all her kind motherly intentions were being fed to the dogs.

“My offense is the heaviest,” Lu Qi said. “Lawyer Huang mentioned it already. If sentenced, because of the huge amount, it’ll be for longer than five years. But he suggests I plead guilty to lighten the sentence. Without other unexpected developments, six years is likely.”
