Chapter 1389: Admitting Fault
Upon hearing the word "prison," Zhuang Chujiao became agitated and suddenly shouted, "I don’t want to go to prison, I don’t want to go to prison. Dad, please save me, I don’t want to go to prison."
She suddenly struggled in Zhuang Shaoyang’s arms, startling him.
Zhuang Shaoyang quickly said, "Jiaojiao, don’t get excited, calm down first."
"That’s right, Jiaojiao, don’t be afraid, your dad is here, he won’t let you go to prison," Liang Rong also said.
She looked at Zhuang Shaoyang and earnestly said, "Shao Yang, I know I’ve done many wrong things, and you hate me, but Jiaojiao is innocent. She’s Chu Xing’s child; you watched her grow up. You wouldn’t want her life to be ruined like this, right?"
Zhuang Shaoyang frowned tightly and said nothing.
Drug use is no small matter, and the country has always strictly controlled drugs.
Coming from a family of soldiers, how could he knowingly break the law?!
He looked at Zhuang Chujiao and said in a low voice, "Jiaojiao, tell me honestly, what happened yesterday? You got involved with drugs, didn’t you?"
"Dad, don’t ask, I don’t want to remember, I don’t want to," Zhuang Chujiao covered her head, looking pained.
Liang Rong looked full of compassion and said to Zhuang Shaoyang, "Shao Yang, Jiaojiao has just lost her child, she’s grieving right now. You’d better not ask her about yesterday."
When mentioning Zhuang Chujiao’s pregnancy, Zhuang Shaoyang’s face fell.
There was no need to think to know that the child was Jiang Yutai’s. Whenever he thought about Jiang Yutai’s previous attitude, he wanted to hit someone.
He looked at Zhuang Chujiao and said with a frown, "You specifically went to Upper City to be with Jiang Family’s second son? Did he make you use drugs? Tell me honestly, did you get involved with drugs?"
He had come in a hurry and didn’t have time to inquire about the details of the case. He only knew that a group of people were caught using drugs, including Zhuang Chujiao, and she had miscarried.
"Dad, I didn’t, I didn’t," Zhuang Chujiao quickly shook her head, "I was framed; it was Jiang Yutai who used drugs."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Shaoyang relaxed and immediately asked, "Is what you’re saying true?"
"It’s true, absolutely true, how could I possibly use drugs? I haven’t forgotten your teachings, I won’t break the law," Zhuang Chujiao quickly assured.
"If what you’re saying is true, then I can assure you that you’ll be innocent," Zhuang Shaoyang said with a smile, "Don’t be afraid, Dad is here."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Chujiao didn’t show any sign of happiness on her face.
She looked up at Liang Rong, seemingly asking her what to do.
Unfortunately, Liang Rong seemed not to notice her pleading gaze and smiled at Zhuang Shaoyang.
Zhuang Chujiao lowered her head, her eyes shifted, and she asked, "Dad, what if, I mean what if, what if I accidentally got involved with drugs."
Zhuang Shaoyang’s expression constricted, eyes fixated on Zhuang Chujiao’s face, and asked, "Jiaojiao, what are you trying to say?"
Zhuang Chujiao bit her lip, "Dad, last night I was forced by Jiang Yutai... he forced me to do drugs, just a little bit."
"What did you say!" Zhuang Shaoyang’s voice suddenly soared.
Outside the hospital room, Mu Yan and Kong Lizhen both heard the commotion from Zhuang Shaoyang.
Kong Lizhen chuckled, "Looks like it’s our turn to step in."
Mu Yan couldn’t help but laugh seeing her acting so unfazed.
Alright then, it’s rare for her godmother to be in the mood; she’ll stick by her.
Anyway, she quite enjoys watching Zhuang Chujiao’s miserable state.
In the hospital room, Zhuang Chujiao looked at Zhuang Shaoyang with a pleading face, "Dad, I didn’t want this. It’s all Jiang Yutai’s fault, Dad, help me, I don’t want to go to prison, it’s all Jiang Yutai’s fault."
Zhuang Shaoyang looked at Zhuang Chujiao, too angry to know what to say.
"Shao Yang, Jiaojiao knows she was wrong," Liang Rong followed up in pleading.
At this moment, the hospital room door was pushed open, and a taunting female voice came through, "Tsk tsk, one word of knowing you’re wrong and you want to write it off? Is the law made by your family, Mr. Zhuang? Be careful not to let the Zhuang family’s reputation be destroyed by your hands."
