"You arrogant little brat! How dare you frame me with them?" Cao Shuting was completely hysterical, staring at Cao Rou with red eyes, "I picked you up back then, gave you food, clothes, To support you in school... You actually did this to me? Do you still have any conscience? I have raised you for so many years, and in the end you want to trick me to death? Did I give you less money?!"
The word "money" completely crushed Cao Rou's last bit of reason, money! money! Money again! It's already this time, but you still only have money in your eyes!
Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!
Thinking of this, Cao Rou turned her head and glanced at Tang Xiaoxiao. Before going to court to testify, Tang Xiaoxiao promised her 100 million U.S. dollars. She had already given her 50 million U.S. dollars before she came. As long as she waited for her testimony to be completed, she promised to make those minor For the crime, if Cao Shuting is sent to the guillotine, she can successfully get another 50 million!
As long as I stay in prison for a year and a half, after I am released from prison, I will become a billionaire who can enjoy glory and wealth!
When she raised her head again, Cao Rou's eyes were full of coldness and determination, and her clear voice completely pushed her adoptive mother into the boundless abyss, "Dear Judge, I can prove that as early as two years ago, my mother Cao Shuting They have already become close to Chen Xihe. They even planned to assassinate Tang Xiaoxiao many times. Just a while ago, my mother told me that she felt as if Chen Xihe had been raising several young and beautiful girls outside her back recently. Child, when she said this, she even said that she would castrate Chen Xihe and then destroy his body... "
Cao Shuting was completely frightened and cried out hysterically, "Cao Rou! No! I didn't say that! I didn't say that, she was lying! - You little bitch! I've raised you for so many years, and you actually raised me An unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, you actually hurt me like this!"
"Did I lie? Ha, that's funny. I'm your most trusted daughter, my dear mother... I remember every word you said clearly and clearly. What's more, my dear mother, can't it be Have you forgotten? But for the brake I personally broke for you, I can at best be considered an accomplice... "
Tang Xiaoxiao quietly looked at the dog-eating mother and daughter in the court. Suddenly she took a deep breath, raised her eyes to look at the clouds in the sky, and a relieved smile appeared on the corners of her lips. The real Tang Xiaoxiao... If you Heaven knows, you can rest in peace, I have not failed you, and I can finally avenge you.
I will not let go of any of this mother and daughter. I will take back everything they owe you.
"According to the verdict of the collegial panel, Cao Shuting was sentenced to intentional homicide. Because of the extremely bad influence, she was sentenced to death and deprived of political rights... Cao Rou, an accomplice, was sentenced to intentional homicide and sentenced to five years in prison... This verdict is the final verdict."
Upon hearing such a verdict, Cao Shuting collapsed completely to the ground with a plop, her face turned ashen.
"Five years is a bit long." Cao Rou frowned.
Before the two were sent to the detention center, Tang Xiaoxiao went directly to see Cao Rou in a wheelchair. When she saw her, Cao Rou still had a sullen look on her face and glared at Tang Xiaoxiao, "Tang Xiaoxiao, I'm warning you, give me the remaining 50 million as soon as possible! Also, five years is too long. No, I don’t care, I will serve a maximum of two years in prison, otherwise, I will never let you live so easily... Remember, it was you who asked me to perjury."
Tang Xiaoxiao nodded, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips, his clear eyes were as clear as when they first met, "I know, don't worry, you won't be short of money. As for the time in jail... you go first Wait there, I’ll spend some money to take care of things over there in the prison. If you behave better, I’ll spend some more money then, and I should be able to reduce the sentence to about two years.”
"Hmph." Cao Rou snorted softly.
It won't take two years... Cao Rou, you will be out soon.
The day before the execution, Tang Xiaoxiao finally came to the detention center to take a last look at Cao Shuting. Looking at Cao Shuting's haggard expression, Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't tell whether it was sadness or happiness. He looked at her indifferently and remained silent.
"Tang Xiaoxiao...are you here to humiliate me?" Cao Shuting raised her head with despair and asked dully, "Now...you are finally proud and can get rid of me as a thorn in your side. Are you happy?"
Tang Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and shook her head, "I can't explain what it feels like. I just feel that my whole person and my whole soul feel a lot lighter. I can let go of some of the things I have been carrying."
Cao Shuting smiled bitterly and raised the handcuffs on her wrists, making a clattering sound.
"Cao Shuting, in fact, if you were not so greedy, you would not be where you are today. If you had treated my father well and not been so ambitious, I would have made you live a life of food and clothing, full of glory... You You want to seize the Tang family's property and the Tang family's inheritance rights. Do you think you can do it? Our Tang family... is not as simple as you think. There are many things involved behind the scenes, even if you have it in your hands. , in the end it will become someone else’s thing, you can’t keep the Tang family’s.”
"Are you showing off to me?" Cao Shuting gritted her teeth.
"This is not to show off, but to give advice. Even if you get the Tang family's property, so what? In this fight for hegemony between the jungle and the strong, do you think you can survive?"
Cao Shuting clenched her fist tightly, then released it, and smiled bitterly, "Tomorrow is the day to hit the road. I didn't expect... You are the only one who came to see me. Tang Xiaoxiao, I want to ask you something, okay? ?”
Tang Xiaoxiao made a stop gesture, "I know what you want to ask, but before that, you must agree to my request."
"explain."
"Have you seen the sky outside? Look at the sky and shout three times: Tang Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry."
"you… "
Tang Xiaoxiao shook his head silently, with a stubborn look in his eyes, "I have no intention of humiliating you, I just want you to... make a final confession to a disappeared soul. This is what you owe others."
Cao Shuting took a deep breath and swept away all the thoughts in her heart. For the last thought in her heart, she gritted her teeth and turned her head, holding back the pain and humiliation in her heart, facing the people outside the iron-railed window. Tian Tian shouted loudly with all his strength, "—Tang Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry! Tang Xiaoxiao! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
Listening to the screams, Tang Xiaoxiao closed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly. Unconsciously, his eyes were blurred with tears. Tang Xiaoxiao, did you hear that? I,-have lived up to my promise to you!
All the rise of this body, a lifetime of happiness or pain, I deserve what I get!
"Your son... is Tang Jingchen, the person behind you who has been using you. He has long known that you are his mother, and has been using himself as bait, taking advantage of your love for his son and your greed. , to trick you into taking the bait.”
After saying these words, Tang Xiaoxiao left silently, leaving behind a despairing Cao Shuting.
A line of tears suddenly flowed down Cao Shuting's cheeks and flowed into her mouth, salty and filled with the most heart-wrenching bitterness in her life.
If there is anything in this world that can allow Cao Shuting to preserve the beautiful and glorious side of human nature, then that person... is undoubtedly her favorite son. But when her son turned out to be the voice that made her extremely angry...she could no longer accept such a world.
At that moment, her world collapsed.
On the morning before the execution, when the police at the detention center opened the door and prepared to serve her the last meal, they found that Cao Shuting was dead. The body was completely cold, and the handle of the toothbrush was sharpened by her and inserted directly into her throat. There, next to a pool of blood on the ground, there was only one word: regret.
If...if I hadn't disliked the poor and loved the rich, if I hadn't abandoned my son, if I hadn't met Tang Yuanfeng, if I hadn't been greedy for the Tang family's property, if all this had never happened, would I have had a better ending than now? a lot of
When she received the news of Cao Shuting's suicide, Tang Xiaoxiao was sitting in the warden's office of Liyang City Women's Prison. The pot-bellied warden had a Maitreya-like smile on his face, but the yellow-orange gold ring on his hand revealed that he was a prisoner. Long oily water seems good...
"Miss Tang, don't worry, leave this matter to me, I will definitely handle it properly!" the warden said with a smile.
Tang Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, "Sorry to trouble you, it's just a small gift, it's not respectful. I hope Mr. Warden will accept it."
Xue Xiaohan handed a cardboard box from behind and pushed it in front of the warden. He smiled meaningfully and said, "Mr. Warden, this is half a million in cash. How about buying her to die in an accident?"
Hearing the amount of five hundred thousand, the warden's green bean-sized eyes quickly narrowed, and he quickly put on a cheerful smile, "Okay! Of course! I'm not afraid of a few jokes. In this prison, I, the warden, want to It's really easy to kill a few people..."
"I don't want to see her die so painlessly, do you understand what I mean?" Tang Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows.
"Understood! Of course I understand!" The warden smiled flatteringly.
"It's almost time. I'm going to report to the crew... I'll leave the matters here to Mr. Warden. After the work is completed, there will be another 500,000 yuan as a thank you and some small gifts." Tang Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, " You should know, Mr. Warden, that my status is quite special. If something is missed... the person who will die may not be me, but you will definitely be the one who dies."
The words were light, as if he were talking about an ordinary thing, but it made the warden shudder quietly.
Xue Xiaohan took out 500,000 yuan again and threw it on the warden's desk. "Mr. Warden, this 500,000 yuan is for the prison guards who have something to do with this matter. Our boss has always been a generous person. She doesn't want to hear anything about anyone." An example of doing something but not getting paid... As for your appetite, we will naturally feed it. You can’t touch the money given to the people below, you understand?”
"Yes! Yes..." The warden quietly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
Tang Xiaoxiao glanced at Xue Xiaohan with a smile and nodded slightly. Xue Xiaohan was getting more and more impeccable in her work. Although this sentence was simple, it was a warning to the greedy warden not to give money to other prison guards below... This It was also to prevent anyone from leaking the matter because they had a grudge because they didn't get the money.
"Boss, don't you need to look at Cao Rou anymore?" Xue Xiaohan asked cautiously.
Tang Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then waved her hand, "Forget it, just take this as the last look at her."
"yes."
Accompanied by the warden, Jialan pushed Tang Xiaoxiao and followed Xue Xiaohan to the visiting room of the women's prison. After waiting for a few minutes, Cao Rou finally appeared in the visiting room with a haggard look on her face, her eyes swollen like Two peaches.
Within half a month after arriving in prison, Cao Rou fully understood what life in hell on earth was. She originally thought that two years would pass by in the blink of an eye, but... everything seemed not as beautiful as she imagined.
As a newcomer, I suffered all the torture and humiliation from the prison bullies. I slept next to the toilet every night. When I woke up, my face was often smeared with feces like a prank. I was beaten nine times in more than ten days. During the group fight, the hair was torn off, a piece of scalp fell off, the private parts were penetrated with toothbrushes and sharp objects until the flesh was bloody, and the body was covered with purple bruises...
The most disgusting thing is that there are several lesbians who are either violent or perverted in the same prison cell. While Cao Rou helps them wash clothes and do work during the day, she also acts as a slave to relieve their anger at night... disobeying, Just another torture. How could Cao Rou, who was used to rich clothes and fine food, endure this hardship
"Tang Xiaoxiao! I want to leave here... I can't stay any longer!"
After seeing Tang Xiaoxiao's first words, Cao Rou shouted hysterically.
Tang Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment and looked Cao Rou up and down. Before she had time to ask someone to give her "special care", she couldn't bear it
Seeing the disbelieving expression on Tang Xiaoxiao's face, Cao Rou gritted her teeth and threatened in a low voice, "Tang Xiaoxiao... If you don't get me out again, don't blame me for being rude and asking you to make me perjury. Shake it off! Don't think that you can take advantage of me now that my mother is gone. Even in prison, I can still ruin your reputation!"
Tang Xiaoxiao sneered and shook her head helplessly, "Cao Rou, you are already in prison, why don't you know how to restrain your temper, and you are still so arrogant and domineering?"
"You want to break the contract?" Seeing Tang Xiaoxiao's confident look, Cao Rou's heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but ask.
"Bingo! Smart, you got it right."
Tang Xiaoxiao looked at Cao Rou with a smile, like a cunning and cute fox.
"I thought you should have expected this step a long time ago... I only guessed it now. I really think highly of you." Tang Xiaoxiao wrinkled her little nose and looked at Cao quietly with pure and innocent eyes. Soft, just like how she looked when we first met!
Seeing Tang Xiaoxiao's familiar yet unfamiliar expression, Cao Rou shuddered involuntarily, and the forgotten memories quietly emerged in her mind: the man she had tricked into taking to the winding mountain road in the outer suburbs, and was not poisoned to death with high doses of heroin, and was tied to the car. The girl who didn't get killed even if she started the car... the Tang Xiaoxiao from before!
The look in the girl's eyes was so similar to that of Tang Xiaoxiao at that time!
The cold and bone-chilling voice echoed in my ears, like a voice coming from hell, "Remember it? Cao Rou? I, Tang Xiaoxiao... have never lost my memory. Every act and every thing you did to me , I, Tang Xiaoxiao, remember it clearly."
"You..." Cao Rou screamed in horror, stood up and staggered back two steps. She was so cold that she tripped over a chair and fell to the ground with a crash.
"Back then I was just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Now my status has been reversed. What do you think?"
Looking at such a cold Tang Xiaoxiao, Cao Rou seemed to be able to foresee her own ending, and screamed hysterically, "No! Tang Xiaoxiao! You can't do this to me! What you said last time, to me before Whatever you do, forget the past... You can't break your promise! You said you could forgive me for everything I did in the past, and you said that yourself!"
Tang Xiaoxiao lowered his head and lowered his eyes, with a calm expression on his face. He raised the corners of his lips and showed a sly smile, "Yes, I gave you a chance. As long as you do things well for me, I might really give it to you." A way to survive... But you are shameless yourself, do you blame me?"
"I… "
"Want to refute what I said?" Tang Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, smiled slightly, and described the jade bracelet on her wrist carefully, "think about it before you say it, don't think I don't know... The incident on the Oriental Princess was... You revealed my whereabouts and deliberately lured me onto the boat. Don’t think that I don’t know. You were also on the boat that time and deliberately pointed me out to the robbers from the True God Mercenary Group; and oh, don’t think that I I don’t know, while you are working for me, you are also hooking up with foreign forces. Miss Kathy Baldana has contacted you and is preparing to cooperate internally and externally. You are a double agent... you are really outstanding."
Cao Rou completely collapsed on the ground, "You..."
"You said... does this mean you brought it upon yourself?" Tang Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes, "I gave you a generous gift this time. Remember to enjoy the rest of your life. Oh, by the way, I forgot to thank you. …Thank you for helping me put your adoptive mother to the guillotine with your own hands, she has already been shot."
Cao Rou was shocked by the news and was completely stunned. She didn't know what was going on, and the tears in the corners of her eyes fell down her cheeks...
That woman has raised him for twenty years.
He pushed her into the abyss of hell with his own hands...
"Your suffering has just begun, Cao Rou, please wait for the hell invitation I send you. Then you mother and daughter can meet each other in hell."
Cao Rou gritted her teeth, tears streaming down her face, and suddenly screamed, "Tang Xiaoxiao, you are so cruel! You used me to make our mother and daughter fight each other... Even Chen Xihe should be the one who did it." Hands and feet, right? In this whole thing... you are the biggest beneficiary! But - aren't you afraid of retribution? "
All that was left to Cao Rou was Tang Xiaoxiao's back, with a touch of decisive loneliness and persistent determination, "I just want to control my own destiny. What's more... the word retribution has always been a comfort for the weak."
