The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment
Chapter 385 Deserved Punishment
Upon seeing the message she had just received, Li Wen's eyes instantly welled up with tears.
But she reacted quickly, replying with a text message as her fingers flew across the keyboard.
"I have no money. My monthly salary is only a few thousand yuan. Thanks to you all, I have to pay rent and food. Where would I get any extra money?"
"What happened to the money from selling our old house? Don't tell me you've already spent it all?"
"Didn't you say you could earn more washing dishes in Canada than back home? Why are you asking me for money?"
As she sent the text message, two lines of tears streamed down her cheeks.
Two weeks ago, her unrepentant parents finally sold their old house and flew to their spiritual homeland, Canada!
Just half a month later, he sent a text message to his daughter asking for money.
Li Wen had anticipated this outcome, but she never imagined it would happen so quickly!
When she replied to this text message, she also concealed something.
She no longer has a home in Shanghai; her parents sold their house long ago, but she doesn't need to rent a place outside.
Not only that, her living conditions are now many times better than before, and she doesn't have to pay a single penny of rent.
The river-view penthouse she now lives in is a luxury residence that Lingyun bought in Shanghai. It is located on the banks of the Huangpu River and has an unparalleled view.
This river-view mansion spans 460 square meters, and everything from the exterior scenery and construction quality to the interior decoration, furniture, and appliances is of the highest quality.
After returning to Shanghai from watching the Olympics in Beijing, Li Wen quietly moved into this large apartment.
Apart from her best friend Xu Jiaying, who lived with her, no one else knew that she lived here.
This includes Li Wen's parents, who knew nothing about her and thought she and Xu Jiaying were renting a place together!
Later, Li Wen's parents sold their old house and used the money to immigrate to Canada, but they still didn't know where Li Wen really lived.
Li Wen was utterly disappointed in her mentally unstable parents and no longer expected them to change their ways.
If it weren't for the unbreakable blood ties, she would have completely blocked them and severed all ties long ago.
She was extremely grateful to Ling Yun, but also constantly regretted her actions.
Previously, she knew that Ling Yun had become a super billionaire, with so much money that it was impossible to count it all!
But she never expected that Ling Yun would reach such heights today.
When she saw Ling Yun on the news program, she could hardly believe her eyes and thought she was seeing things.
But this is the most real thing imaginable, more real than gold!
From then on, Li Wen's gaze remained fixed on Ling Yun's figure.
He wasn't awakened until the breaking news ended and the text message notification sounded.
Looking back at his own parents, they used to look down on Ling Yun, constantly calling him "little rascal."
In such a short time, Lingyun had already soared to heights they never dared to dream of, while they themselves had become stray dogs wandering in a foreign land.
Thinking of this, Li Wen smiled bitterly and shook her head self-deprecatingly.
"This is a perfect example of what it means for fate to play tricks on us. Lingyun is absolutely right; our family was short-sighted!"
As they were talking, Xu Jiaying yawned and came out of her bedroom into the living room.
Seeing Li Wen's tearful face, the beautiful woman was stunned for a moment, and then quickly asked what was wrong.
"Why are you crying so early in the morning? Wenwen, what happened?"
Li Wen wiped away her tears, turned to look at her, and choked out a few words of explanation.
"It's nothing, just that the sight of something reminded me of the past. I just saw Ling Yun on the news; he's soared to the clouds, while I'm stuck in the mud!"
"What's worse is that my mom just sent me a text message asking me for money. They've only been in Canada for half a month, and they're already broke. They're obviously not doing well."
Hearing her words, Xu Jiaying sighed.
Just as she was about to say a few words of comfort to Li Wen, her phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at Lai Xian and immediately answered the phone.
It was her mother who called to tell her some things.
As soon as she finished greeting him, Xu Jiaying exclaimed in surprise.
"What? You're saying that Guo Zirong and his uncle's cases were sentenced today, and the prosecution recommended 18 years in prison and life imprisonment respectively, with confiscation of all assets? That's too harsh!"
"brush"
Li Wen immediately looked over and was also startled.
Then, she glanced at the television screen that was broadcasting other news.
Guo Zirong and his uncle were severely sentenced, which must be related to that guy Ling Yun!
The next moment, Li Wen gritted her teeth and spat out a few words through the gaps between them.
"Those who do evil will not escape punishment. It would be better if the uncle and nephew were sentenced to death; the court's sentence was too lenient."
"They tried to frame Ling Yun, but ended up landing themselves in prison and spending the rest of their lives there. That's what you call scheming to the point of ruining your own life."
Seeing Li Wen's gritted teeth, Xu Jiaying was not surprised at all.
Like Li Wen, she was also Guo Zirong's childhood friend and knew that grandson's family.
Having been introduced to the situation by Li Wen, she already knew the whole story and the source of Li Wen's hatred.
"You're right, Wenwen. Zirong and his uncle deserve to die. They actually tried to kill Lingyun, but ended up killing themselves instead."
"Now they're going to spend the rest of their lives in jail, which they deserve, while Ling Yun has soared to the clouds, and we can't even catch a glimpse of him."
"My mom said that Zirong and the others' case will be sentenced this morning. Should we go to court to attend the hearing? My mom specifically asked me to ask you what you think."
Without the slightest hesitation, Li Wen nodded firmly.
"Go! I must see with my own eyes how these two scumbags die. I'll call Lingyun later and tell him."
"There's no way Lingyun and I can get back together, but through this incident, I can salvage some of my image and vent my anger!"
Xu Jiaying covered her mouth lightly and couldn't help but sigh.
"How come I never realized you had such a ruthless side? This is the first time I've seen it."
"But that's normal. If we were in each other's shoes, I'd want to eat Guo Zirong and his uncle alive."
After chatting for a few minutes, she turned around and went back to her bedroom to wash up, while Li Wen continued to prepare breakfast.
After Xu Jiaying came out of the bedroom, they each called their companies to ask for leave.
Around 9:15 a.m., they dressed up beautifully, got into a car together, and headed straight for the court.
Around 9:40, they arrived at the courthouse entrance without incident.
As soon as she got out of the car, Li Wen saw it at a glance.
Zhou Hua and his group of friends stood at the entrance of the courthouse, chatting and laughing animatedly. Among them were Ling Yun's former company leaders.
Without a doubt, these guys are either here to testify in court or to observe the proceedings.
The case they testified in and attended the hearing was the commercial espionage case involving Guo Zirong and his uncle!
At the same time that Li Wen saw Zhou Hua and his group, Zhou Hua and his group also saw these two beautifully dressed women.
Seeing them dressed up for the occasion, Zhou Hua and the others were all stunned for a moment.
The next moment, they couldn't help but chuckle.
"Haha, Li Wen's here, and dressed so beautifully! Is she here to send off those two scumbags, Guo Zirong and his uncle, as they rot in jail?"
"Indeed, if we're talking about who hates Guo Zirong and his uncle the most, probably no one hates them more than Li Wen!"
"Haha, that's true. Back then, Guo Zirong was partly responsible for Lingyun and Li Wen's breakup. Now that Lingyun is soaring to great heights, doesn't Li Wen hate Guo Zirong to death?"
After chatting for a few minutes, Zhou Hua and the others quickly exchanged glances and walked towards Li Wen together.
