Everyone turned and saw Shen Ruojing walking over in huge strides. “China’s law has it that one will be sentenced to ten years or more of imprisonment for beating someone to death. They could even be given the death penalty. Even if we obtain the understanding of the deceased’s family, there’s still no escaping the ten years of imprisonment. You’re calling this help?”

“Ten years?” Chu Ciyuan was a little stunned too. He looked toward Ding Miao and said, “Miaomiao, didn’t you say that he would be given a lighter sentence?”

When Matriarch Chu heard this, she pointed angrily at Chu Ciyuan and scolded, “What kind of lousy idea is this? If we were to plead guilty, Cimo would really become a murderer! How can we do this when he didn’t kill anyone?! If Ding Miao could leave after taking money back in high school, how can she treat you sincerely? Did she hoodwink you into becoming distant from me?”

After Matriarch Chu said this, Ding Miao’s countenance suddenly turned pale.

She bit her lips and held onto her chest.

Chu Ciyuan immediately turned to look at her nervously. “Miaomiao, what’s wrong?”

Ding Miami stroked her stomach with her other hand. “I’m fine. It’s just that… I feel a little hurt that my goodwill is misunderstood like this.”

After saying that, she looked at Chu Ciyuan and Matriarch Chu, saying, “If he doesn’t plead guilty, he’ll give the judge the impression of being unrepentant. When that happens, the sentence will be more serious and he might even be given the death penalty. The situation is really bad for him. Is the death penalty really better than ten-year imprisonment?”

Chu Ciyuan said blankly, “That’s true too…”

“To hell that’s true!” Chu Ciyuan’s manner caused even the well-mannered and graceful Matriarch Chu to curse. “What great feud did you have with your younger brother?! To think that you want him to be jailed for ten years?!”

Matriarch Chu then looked at Ding Miao and said, “There’s no way that my son would kill. Take this in mind. We’ll definitely defend it to the point where Cimo is judged innocent!”

After saying that, she pointed to the door. “The two of you, please leave!”

Chu Ciyuan tensed.

The reason he came back today was because he really wanted to help. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought Ding Miao here despite knowing that Ding Miao and Matriarch Chu weren’t on good terms.

He looked at Ding Miao.

Ding Miao sighed. “I knew that Aunt wouldn’t trust me. If some other lawyers were to say this, she might still listen to them… but I’m fine.”
