Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Old Madam Gu and Old Gu watched as the endless stream of evidence was held in Gu Xiao’s hands. Their hearts instantly sank.
Although they did not know if it was true that Gu Xiao would send them to prison, they were still a little worried when they saw this scene.
Even their precious grandson was still lying on the ground, bu they did not react in time to help him up.
Gu Xiao got what she wanted and glanced at Old Gu and Old Madam Gu, who had stiff expressions, in satisfaction.
She snorted coldly and glanced at Gu Cheng, who was lying on the ground, feeling even more satisfied.
“Alright, let’s go!” She retracted her gaze from Gu Cheng and said to Chu An beside her.
When Chu An heard this, he nodded and walked out of the crowd with Gu Xiao, heading out of the village.
After walking for a while, Chu An reached out and held Gu Xiao’s hand that was hanging by her side. He said with a smile, “Have you vented your anger now?”
Gu Xiao was not as cold as she was when she was at the Gu family’s house just now. There was a smile on her face.
“Of course I’ve vented my anger,” Gu Xiao said. She paused, and her eyes darkened. “However, there’s something even more satisfying in the future.”
Not only did she want to send Old Master Gu and Old Madam Gu to prison, but she also wanted to make the Gu family unable to live in peace!
She would build a film and television base in the village. After that, for the sake of money, the others in the village had to make her happy. Everyone in the village knew about her relationship with the Gu family. In order to please her, they would not let the Gu family live too comfortably.
When Gu Shan and Xie Fang came out of prison, she would let the two of them have a taste of a life without anyone to rely on! Even in the village where they had been living for almost their whole lives, they would not be able to live anymore. They would be ostracized and unhappy.
She wanted the Gu family to have nowhere to go and no one to rely on. Their son would also become the sc.u.m of society because he had no one to teach him better.
Let them be unhappy for the rest of their lives!
This was her greatest revenge!
Chu An tightened his grip on Gu Xiao’s hand, as if telling her that no matter what happened, he would always be by her side.
The two of them walked out of the village and got into the car Chu An had driven over. Then, they walked towards the town’s Public Security Bureau and sued Gu Yong and his wife from the Gu Village 0. When they found out that she wasn’t the biological daughter of the Gu family, they used their status as grandparents to abuse her for many years, deliberately hurt her, and even wanted to kill her!
The evidence that Gu Xiao had submitted was very complete. Coupled with the allegation of attempted murder, the police attached great importance to this case.
Moreover, they had heard of Gu Xiao’s ident.i.ty before, especially the fact that Gu Shan and his wife deliberately exchanged their child for money. It was even more despicable.
With the evidence and the testimony of the villagers, the evidence was irrefutable. The court quickly came up with a verdict.
Gu Yong and his wife were sentenced to ten years in prison for abuse, intentional injury, and attempted murder.
As for whether Gu Yong and his wife had known Gu Xiao’s true ident.i.ty, under the circ.u.mstances of conclusive evidence, their own words did not seem so real.
After all, when he registered Gu Xiao’s household register back then, in order not to place Gu Xiao’s household register in his family’s household register, Gu Yong had personally written a statement, saying that Gu Xiao was not a child of their family.
Although everyone in the village knew that Gu Yong had said that because he despised Gu Xiao for being a girl and was a good-for-nothing,
But now… under the temptation of Gu Xiao’s offer of tens of thousands of yuan a year, the villagers chose to remain silent about this matter.
Gu Yong and his wife were sentenced, leaving Gu Cheng alone.
Although the house still belonged to the Gu family, it was impossible for Gu Cheng, who was about ten years old, to live alone. He could only find someone to raise him until he reached adulthood.
Gu Xiao was no longer his biological sister, so she naturally had no obligation to take care of Gu Cheng, her “younger brother”.
As for his biological sister, Ji Yao, she did not even appear on the day of the court hearing. She was even more unwilling to take over responsibility of Gu Cheng, who had suddenly appeared as a burden.
She couldn’t even take care of herself now, let alone a younger brother who was completely unfamiliar with her.
Since Ji Yao was unwilling, the court could only temporarily hand Gu Cheng over to the villagers to be taken care of and start working on persuading Ji Yao.
