The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 62

"Shao Ting, I don't want to see this person again. Looking at her makes me nauseous, even more disgusting than stepping in dog shit. Disturbing someone's sleep early in the morning shortens one's life. I don't want to offend someone so self-righteous and arrogant like this unreasonable young lady."

Rong Dai's face was gloomy as she spoke extremely fast, but her words were clear and piercing, verbally lashing out at Wen Shi Lan.

She still didn't know that Wen Shi Lan had joined forces with Zuo Ran to harm her, otherwise her words would have been even more piercing and offensive.

"Bitch! How dare you scold me! Why don't you just die?! Zuo Ran is just a useless waste..." Ah!

Wen Shi Lan was already very distraught. The man she had pined for over so many years treated her so mercilessly because of this woman who was even more worthless than her. Of course she couldn't stand it!

She roared and rushed at Rong Dai. Wen Runlin and Han Shiqing were shocked and tried to grab her but failed.

But Shao Ting had been on guard. He kicked out ruthlessly, knocking the woman over without any mercy.

Then he got up from the bed and looked down condescendingly at the three people before him, his eyes piercing and cold enough to kill!

Wen Shi Lan fell in a mess in the corner of the ward, clutching her waist and abdomen, her face twisted in pain. She looked up desperately and resentfully at the cold and merciless Shao Ting.

She couldn't believe that he would actually hit her!

Rong Dai frowned. She could tell something was going on from Wen Shi Lan's words.

Could it be that this Zuo Ran was released on bail by Wen Shi Lan? Then wouldn't she be indirectly responsible for harming her?

Thinking of the nightmares she had endured under Zuo Ran, she felt Wen Shi Lan was hundreds of times more sinister and hateful than Zuo Ran!

"Shao Ting, please make her leave! She has harmed me over and over, destroying our relationship. And this time she framed me, I almost died."

When she said she almost died, the murderous look in Shao Ting's eyes became even more pronounced. Wen Runlin saw it clearly, and his back kept breaking out in cold sweat.

This time it was really going to be the death of them! He shouldn't have let Wen Shi Lan come to apologize!

What apology was this? It would have been better to just let the law take its course!

Wen Runlin deeply regretted it.

Rong Dai was no fool either. Although she didn't understand the laws here, she knew that if the perpetrator obtained forgiveness from the victim, the charges would naturally be reduced accordingly.

They had chosen this time to come and apologize, to ask for her forgiveness.

Forgiveness?

She would never forgive them.

She had barely escaped with her life under Zuo Ran. She didn't even dare imagine what would have happened if she hadn't taken decisive action at that time. She might have already become a wandering ghost.

They wanted to take her life, and then ask her to forgive them?

Not even the Bodhisattva Guanyin would be so merciful!

"If you've come to ask for my forgiveness, then I'll make it clear now that this is impossible!"

"Miss Wen, do you know that I almost died at Zuo Ran's hands? Are you going to say that I'm still alive and well? That was just my good fortune, my time had not yet come!"

"And you helping her plead for leniency makes you an accomplice! Just as unforgivable! She planned murder, she wanted my life. If I did the same to her, would you let me off? You would have wanted a life for a life. I don't understand the law, but premeditated murder deserves death."

Rong Dai spoke heavily, her voice extremely cold.

Shao Ting noticed her anger. Hearing her words, his heart ached badly.

He didn't feel Rong Dai was being heartless. Murderers should pay with their lives, this was an eternal truth.

"Security." He called out in his deep voice. Soon seven or eight muscular guards came in.

Shao Ting looked at Wen Runlin with a cold and merciless gaze, "If the Wen family interferes again in this matter, they can disappear from Shengjing. Don't challenge my bottom line."

Wen Runlin's face was deathly pale. Beads of sweat as large as beans rolled from his forehead into his eyes, but he didn't dare blink.

He knew Shao Ting was serious.

Shao Ting then looked at Han Shiqing, a cold smile appearing on his cold, stern face, "Top law firm, yet just mediocre. I pay you to handle lawsuits for me, but instead of helping my counsel resolve things, you take care of the opponent. Well done. From now on, you will face imprisonment. Go to jail together with her, share your fate."

As he spoke, he took out his phone with one hand and swiftly sent out several messages.

Han Shiqing's legs went soft in fright, his head buzzing. He knelt down at once, well aware of all the shady dealings he had done.

"Mr. Huo! I really couldn't do anything about this matter. It was Madam Huo who agreed to it..."

"Did I hire you, or did she?" Shao Ting asked coldly.

Han Shiqing was struck speechless. His phone in his briefcase kept ringing. He took it out flusteredly and looked at the messages on it, his face ashen. "Take him out. If they dare barge in again, you're all fired." Shao Ting said coldly.

The security guards quickly took him away. The noisy hospital room finally quieted down.

With the racket gone, Rong Dai asked, "Did Wen Shi Lan take part in this matter? Was it she who bailed out Zuo Ran?"

Shao Ting turned around and poured her a cup of warm water, then cranked up her hospital bed. Looking at her apologetically he said, "This was all because of me, I didn't handle the Wen Shi Lan matter well from the start."

"What happened in Zuo Ran's neighborhood allowed Wen Shi Lan to find out. She hired Han Shiqing and, taking advantage of Lu Hong's absence, got Zuo Ran released on bail and arranged all this. I should have handled this matter properly, I...I'm very sorry. Something like this will never happen again."

Looking at his sincere, self-reproaching eyes, Rong Dai felt warmth in her heart. She wasn't unreasonable.

"You can't blame yourself for this. Wen Shi Lan is too stubborn herself." She said, lowering her eyes to look at the water in the cup. She thought for a moment then asked, "If it's to give face to the Wen family, I can agree to forgive her."

Although she was very reluctant, she was even more unwilling to make things difficult for Shao Ting. She could consider this repaying him.

"I'm not in any quandary. From the start, I never intended to let her off easily. I have no intention of showing any mercy to the Wen family or to her."

As soon as her words landed, Shao Ting's expression became serious. He enunciated each word very clearly.

Warmth surged in Rong Dai's heart. Those sprouting ripples threatening to bloom, she desperately suppressed them.

"Mm."

"What would you like to eat?" Seeing her agree, Shao Ting's expression eased. But just as he spoke, his phone rang. It was Lu Zheng calling.

"Answer it first. I'm not very hungry anyway." Seeing the caller ID, Rong Dai withdrew her gaze.

But Shao Ting didn't leave. He pulled over a chair to sit down and took the call on speakerphone.

Lu Zheng's anxious voice immediately came through, "Shao Ting, how could you hit Shi Lan? She went overboard, but I didn't expect..."

"She tried to kill my wife. Is that not overboard? I've already shown the Wen family maximum benevolence by not crippling her. Mom, I hope you're clear where you stand. Rong Dai is your daughter-in-law, not Wen Shi Lan. If you like her, I can arrange a place for you two to live together."

Not letting Lu Zheng finish speaking, Shao Ting rebutted her extremely coldly.
