Chapter 447: Your Son is Ruined (5)
Lu Cheng had indeed begun scheming long before this. As for the disgusting creep who dared to harbor such filthy thoughts about his wife, he certainly wasn’t going to let him off easy!
A simple beating? That was nothing. It wouldn’t be satisfying at all. No, if he was going to act, he had to take it to the absolute limit.
That disgusting creep must never be allowed to appear before his wife and upset her ever again!
This was also a way of getting justice for all the girls that disgusting creep had bullied.

Heart-weary and exhausted, Father Meng once again took generous gifts to the Qin family.
In the past, whenever Meng Chengyu caused some minor trouble, they could always find a way to suppress it. But this time, the scandal erupted too suddenly and events unfolded too quickly, as if someone had orchestrated it all.
Even if the Meng Family wanted to suppress it, they no longer had the power to do so.
However, this time, the Qin family let Father Meng down.
After Father Meng had exhausted all his flattering words and pleas to the Qin Family, he received only a single sentence in reply.
"This matter has had a huge impact. The Qin family cannot possibly take a risk for your son. This son of yours... he’s ruined!"
The matter with Liu Fanglan, after all, had only appeared to be an accident, so it was no big deal for the Qin family to step in and put in a good word for the Meng Family.
But this time was different. Meng Chengyu’s deeds were now public knowledge, and they were of a particularly vile nature. If the Qin family were to step in and try to absolve Meng Chengyu again, there was no guarantee they wouldn’t be implicated as well.
Why would the Qin family ever make such a losing deal?
"Patriarch Qin!"
Father Meng simply could not accept the Qin family’s response! That was his son, his only son! After everything the Meng Family had done for the Qin family over the years, all they got in return was the phrase, "This son of yours... he’s ruined!"
How could Father Meng accept this? How could he not be filled with resentment!
However, this was the Qin family. No matter how resentful Father Meng felt, he didn’t dare cause a scene in front of them.
"Enough. Do not mention this matter again. I will compensate the Meng Family. You may go now."
Father Meng was unwilling to give up. ’What kind of compensation could ever compare to my own son! I’d rather have no compensation at all, if only they could find a way to save him!’
"Patriarch Qin, is there really... truly no other way?"
"If you had kept a tighter rein on that son of yours, would things have ever reached this point? Fine. While the Qin family cannot intervene directly, we can mediate from the sidelines and do our best to save your son’s life. However, he will not be able to avoid prison time."
’If not for the Meng Family’s loyalty and the considerable work they’ve done for us over the years, why would we even bother with this!’
"Thank you, Patriarch Qin!"
Although Father Meng was still unsatisfied, he knew that a few years in prison was better than losing his life.
Seeing the impatient look on Patriarch Qin’s face, Father Meng didn’t linger at the Qin residence. He had to go back and tell Mother Meng the news, and they also had preparations to make.
’Since Patriarch Qin himself said prison was unavoidable, then we have to find a way to make our son’s life inside a little more comfortable!’
What Father Meng didn’t realize at that moment, however, was that the sins his son had committed would make his future in prison ten, even a hundred, times more agonizing than anyone else’s.
A family member of a girl who had killed herself after being assaulted by Meng Chengyu was a guard in the very prison where he would serve his sentence. With his most hated enemy delivered right into his hands, how could he possibly not seize such an opportunity?
