Chapter 694: Putting Someone in a Tough Spot
Song Zhixiong had never imagined that the words spoken by the village party secretary, Gao Jiefang, would hit him where it hurt the most.
Because they had only one son, Song Wenbin, he and his wife had indeed cherished and spoiled him from childhood, afraid he would ever feel wronged. Little did they know that they were actually harming their son.
Song Zhixiong suddenly felt like a complete failure. What was the point of his own success when his son had lost his reputation and future prospects and, due to the absurd things he had done, was likely to spend a few years behind bars.
They had come here solely to seek Luo Qiao’s forgiveness, hoping for a more lenient sentence for their son. But why should someone forgive their son over and over? A few years ago, when they had come, the family had already given them enough face.
With eyes closed, Song Zhixiong shed two lines of tears. Indeed, why should others pay for their failure as parents and their son’s mistake? Whether the sentence was longer or shorter, what difference did it really make?
So he turned and walked toward his wife, who was still causing a scene. "Aihong, let’s go home."
Qiao Aihong, with eyes red, looked at Song Zhixiong and asked, "What did you just say?"
"We’re going back to the city. We can’t save him this time."
