Chapter 562: One Dares to Speak, One Dares to Believe
Lin Jingshen said, "I meant it when I said I wanted to marry you, but there is one thing—if you go to prison, I won’t be able to marry you."
"The Lin family can accept you as a woman with no background from the countryside, but we cannot accept someone with a criminal record," Lin Jingshen continued. "On this point, logically speaking, no family would willingly accept such a person if given the choice."
"However, you threatened us first, and the Lin family won’t easily be manipulated," Lin Jingshen said. "The Lin family will never accept such threats; otherwise, wouldn’t it turn us into a laughingstock?"
"Therefore, suing you is also a warning to you," Lin Jingshen said. "Make a choice. Otherwise, I’ll sue you and your mother both."
"Your mother took fifty thousand yuan from us, which means ten years in prison," Lin Jingshen stated. "You took ten thousand yuan, which could land you three to ten years in prison."
"Don’t even mention a few years. Even if it’s just a month, or even a couple of days, I think you wouldn’t want to experience that," Lin Jingshen added.
Lu Youzhen gritted her teeth and asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"So I’m giving you an option. You can have your mother take full responsibility for the crime. The hundred thousand yuan the Lin family transferred into your account—you just say it was actually your mother who took it, she just used your account to receive the money, but all of it was with her."
"It’s better for one person to go to prison than both of you," Lin Jingshen urged. "After all, whether it’s fifty thousand or sixty thousand, it’s the same prison term. If she serves the full sentence, it could save you."
"You won’t need to go to prison and you can marry me," Lin Jingshen said. "What do you think?"
