A few months passed in a flash, and Li Wei's case was officially heard in court.
Yang Tao went to Shanghai to attend a designer training class during this period. He didn't care about it, so Li Mu went to attend.
The outcome was no surprise: the first fraud case was sentenced to fourteen years in prison; the second job embezzlement case was sentenced to seven years in prison.
The maximum fixed-term prison sentence in China is only twenty years, and if it exceeds the penalty, it will be life imprisonment.
Li Wei was no exception. The two cases were combined and sentenced to life imprisonment, deprived of political rights for life, and fined 500,000.
He has saved some savings over the years, and the value of his house has also appreciated a bit. His car and house were all seized and auctioned by the court, and the proceeds from fraud and embezzlement were recovered, leaving a total of about 500,000 yuan.
This time, there is just enough to enforce the fine.
After two or three years of hard work, I returned to before liberation overnight.
It makes people happy,
However, such people deserve their punishment and are not worthy of pity.
…
After leaving the court, Li Mu met Lan Weiwei. She was a little thinner, but her figure was more voluptuous, especially the arc on her chest, which was very eye-catching. She was worthy of being the legendary Liu Qiu King.
Seeing Li Mu, Lan Weiwei's eyes lit up, his chest was high, and he walked over quickly.
"Li Mu, long time no see."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Lan Weiwei smiled lightly, leaned over and said, "Are you satisfied with the result?"
Li Mu smiled: "Of course I'm satisfied, aren't you dissatisfied?"
Lan Weiwei thought about how stupid he had been, and if he had not met Li Mu, he might have been miserably deceived.
What she thought was indeed correct. If Li Mu hadn't intervened, she would have been pregnant at this time. She was abandoned by Li Wei, argued in the past, and was pushed to the ground. Difficult labor and severe bleeding would make it difficult to conceive a child in the future.
Li Mu indirectly helped her escape the disaster.
"For such a scumbag, I am naturally satisfied with the result. I am afraid that the sentence will be less."
Li Mu said: "Isn't it good to be satisfied? Bad people are punished and good people are protected. Everyone is satisfied, right?"
Lan Weiwei smiled and changed the subject.
"It's not easy to meet you, why don't you treat me to a cup of coffee?"
Li Mo smiled and said very gentlemanly: "Okay! 'Please', Ms. Lan Weiwei!"
Lan Weiwei: "I want to go to that Blue Mountain Coffee."
Li Mu: "No problem."
Lan Weiwei: "But I didn't drive today."
Li Mu: "I'll take you."
…
In the Blue Mountain Cafe, the two of them were drinking coffee and chatting, and they were very interested.
After finishing a cup of coffee, I left the cafe and was about to leave.
Lan Weiwei said: "I don't have a car, can you take me home?"
Li Mu hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
The journey was not far, and we soon arrived at the downstairs of Lan Weiwei's house.
"I rent the house by myself. Let's go up and have a cup of tea." Lan Weiwei held Li Mu's arm with both hands and looked at him expectantly.
Li Mu felt two soft balls rubbing against his arms, and the little fire in his heart gradually rose.
He does not think that he is the kind of man who is particularly dedicated and will shoulder the responsibilities he should bear. However, he does not have much perseverance in the face of temptation.
"good!"
Lan Weiwei's residence is a two-bedroom apartment, one of which was converted into a yoga room, which is quite clean and tidy.
As soon as he entered the house, Lan Weiwei turned around and hugged Li Mu's neck, pressing his red lips against it.
Li Mu hesitated for a moment, and the two soon became entangled.
As if thunder from the sky stirred fire on the ground, the temperature in the room became higher and higher, and the scene became more and more lively.
Three days later.
"Taozi will be back tomorrow, let's call it a day."
Lan Weiwei was obviously reluctant to give up, holding Li Mu's arm and shaking it.
"No, I don't want to. I didn't say anything about fighting Tao Zi, so why should we break it off?"
Li Mu touched her smooth face: "You! Have your brains grown somewhere else? You know it's impossible for the two of us."
"Continuing to maintain this relationship will not only hurt you, but also hurt Taozi."
"It is wisest to stop in moderation and cause the least harm to all parties."
Lan Weiwei's eye circles suddenly turned red, and he said with tears in his eyes: "But I can't let you go, I'm in love with you."
Li Mu wiped the tears from her face.
"Don't talk about love easily. If you talk about love too much, it will be cheap!"
"These past few days are just an accident for us. We each get what we need, or make up for each other's regrets, but it is just an accident and has no results."
Li Mu kissed her on the face.
"I hope you can find your own happiness next."
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out without looking back.
Lan Weiwei's tears immediately dripped down like broken beads.
She didn't have the courage to chase him, knowing that there would be no results in chasing him.
She just cried and felt sad, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered over the past few years.
Why is Taozi so lucky and lucky? She has met such a good man, such an outstanding man, and she can only watch him leave helplessly.
I just kept crying sadly until my tears seemed to have dried up. Then I washed my face and put on makeup.
However, her mind was still racing with thoughts. She felt angry for a while and slowly walked back to the bedroom, where the man had left many traces in the past few days.
I was feeling sad when I suddenly found a brand new and exquisite gift box on the bedside. I opened it and took a look. I saw an elegant Cartier diamond watch lying quietly there.
Lan Weiwei liked it after just one look. There was also a note in the box, left by Li Mu. He said it was a small gift specially prepared for her because he had a great time these days.
Lan Weiwei was ashamed and angry. Who did he think she was? Did he think this could be measured by money?
Well, sometimes money does come in handy.
Lan Weiwei gently picked up the watch and wanted to throw it away, but was reluctant to part with it, so he finally wore it on his wrist.
Why not? Li Mu is willing to give such an expensive gift, which proves that he still has weight in his heart.
She was thinking about it silently, and she had mixed feelings for a while. What should she do next? Should she give up and watch Li Mu and Taozi fly together, or... think about it and shed tears again.
She knew that this man couldn't possibly like her, he always loved her.
…
On the other side, the daily show off of the old plastic sisters has begun again.
Xue Sumei: "Ping! Are you down yet? I'll be waiting at the gate of your community!"
Lan Caiping: "Su Mei, why are you panicking? Isn't this coming!"
As he said this, a fashionably dressed and painted figure walked out of the community, it was Lan Caiping.
Xue Sumei put away her mobile phone, smiled and waved: "Ping! Here."
Lan Caiping carefully arranged her clothes again. She could not be compared in this aspect, and walked over with a smile.
Seeing Yang Tao's car parked nearby, he was about to open the door and get in, but he stopped when he found no one in the driver's seat.
"Su Mei, where's Tao Zi!"
Xue Sumei looked confused: "Taozi, we old sisters are going out together today. Why do we ask Taozi?"
Seeing her acting dumb, Lan Caiping said angrily: "If Tao Zi doesn't come, who will drive her car? Don't tell me we take the bus. Do you think I look like a bus driver?"
Xue Sumei laughed and said: "How can you! Ping'er, you are so fashionable, how can I let you take the bus? You have to take a car!"
"I'll drive this car today."
Lan Caiping was amused when she heard this, and her tone was a bit sarcastic: "You, I'm not talking about you Sumei, can you drive? Do you have a driver's license?"
Xue Sumei didn't care, but took out a small notebook from her bag: "Ping! I really know how to drive. This is my driver's license. I just got it last month."
Lan Caiping took it and looked left and right, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
When she got into the car, Lan Caiping still held her breath in her heart, adjusted her expression, and said with a smile: "Su Mei! You said you are so old, why do you want to get a driver's license?"
Xue Sumei replied: "Ping! I don't like hearing what you are saying. What does it mean to be so old? Are we old? You don't know, how many people our age have taken the driver's license test now."
"Ping! You are behind the times. If I were you, I would take the driver's license test anytime."
Lan Caiping's face looked a little dark, and she was slightly behind in this round.
She immediately started to fight back: "Su Mei! You said you don't have a car and you want to drive Taozi. What's the point of getting a driver's license? It's useless!"
Xue Sumei immediately became energetic when she heard this.
"Who said I don't have a car?"
"Ping! You probably don't know that Taozi gave me his car."
Lan Caiping's face changed slightly when she heard this, but then her expression became relaxed again, and she smiled slightly and said: "Su Mei! I'm not telling you, Taozi's car is given to you, you can take it!"
"You have occupied Taozi's car. What should Taozi do? As parents, we cannot cause trouble to our children."
"Su Mei, is that true?"
Xue Sumei smiled brightly.
"Ping! You're right. That's the truth. As parents, we should not only not cause trouble to our children, but we must also know how to share our worries with our children."
"You don't know! My uncle is so kind to my girl that he spent more than two million yuan to buy Taozi a luxury car last month."
"What's it called Maserati? Yes, it's called Maserati. What's the name of the car with the name "President"?
"With such an expensive luxury car, my uncle bought it, how can Taozi not drive it? But she has been driving this car for several years, and she has feelings for it! She is reluctant to sell it, and it will easily get damaged if she keeps it for a long time.
"
"So I suggested that you let me drive this car. As parents, can we not worry about our children?"
"Now that Taozi has spoken, I can only reluctantly keep the car and drive it myself."
As Xue Sumei's words came out, Lan Caiping, like an ancient rebel army armed with spears and swords, encountered a modern army carrying long spears and short cannons, and was struck by a dimensionality reduction, and was instantly defeated.
"Yes! Yes! Sumei, you are right. As parents, we must share our worries for our children."
"Oops! Whoever sent me a message, let's not chat for now. I will reply to the message first."
As he said that, he glanced at Xue Sumei bitterly, pretended to lower his head and fiddle with his phone without speaking.
Xue Sumei smiled and didn't care, the show wasn't over yet!
…
Xue Sumei drove all the way to the Dongshan villa area. Lan Caiping looked at the house outside the window and said in surprise: "Su Mei, what are you doing here!"
"I heard that the villas here cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions each. They are not something ordinary people like us can afford. Just take a look."
Xue Sumei said: "It's so expensive! A building can cost tens of millions or hundreds of millions. Ping'er, you have the knowledge."
Lan Caiping said a little proudly: "That's right, I am also someone who has seen big scenes."
As he said something, he suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Su Mei, don't you think it's strange? Just now, the security guard didn't stop your car when you drove in. I heard that the security in the villa area is very tight, but now it seems it's not as good as our community!"
She smiled proudly and opened her mouth to say something else, but she suddenly realized something was wrong.
She opened her eyes wide and said, "Su Mei, your son-in-law doesn't know how to..."
Xue Sumei pretended not to see her reaction and said with a natural expression: "My son-in-law has a villa here, and Tao Zi and he live here."
Lan Caiping felt aggrieved and jealous in her heart, and wanted to turn around and leave, but she held it back. You can't lose if you lose, so what's the difference between leaving now and running away in despair.
When the car entered the villa, Xue Sumei and Aunt Liu said hello and led Lan Caiping to visit.
Lan Caiping looked at the luxurious villa in front of her, feeling jealous and sad. Her daughter Weiwei was not bad either, so why didn't she have such a good life as Taozi?
After finally meeting a person, he was the vice president of the company, but something unexpected happened, leaving Weiwei in trouble, and all his work was in vain.
She didn't know about Li Wei, and Lan Weiwei didn't tell her in detail. He only said that something happened to her boyfriend and they broke up. This made her reluctant for a while, but she didn't know that Lan Weiwei had escaped.
After walking around the villa, Lan Caiping felt jealous and jealous in her heart, and pretended not to care on the surface.
When they arrived at the master bedroom on the first floor, Xue Sumei opened the door and let Lan Caiping in.
"Ping! What do you think of this bedroom?"
Lan Caiping murmured in her heart, "It's not yours, so what's the air?"
But my eyes were bright as I saw that this bedroom was not only grand and beautiful, but also equipped with a bathroom, a dressing room and a small study room. It was almost as good as a house in other people's homes.
He couldn't help but praise: "Yes, it's great! Your uncle and Taozi are really discerning, and the place they live in is really nice."
Xue Sumei said with a smile: "This bedroom is mine, Taozi and my uncle are upstairs."
These words undoubtedly struck Lan Caiping's heart like a thunderclap.
"Isn't yours... your uncle's house? How could it be yours..."
When she said this, the unwillingness and sourness in her tone were so strong that they turned into reality.
Xue Sumei didn't seem to notice at all, and the smile on her face became even stronger.
"Yes! My uncle! I have been an orphan since I was a child. I am married to Taozi, so I am the only elder in the family."
"He! He feels sorry for Taozi and is filial to me. He can't bear to see me and Taozi separated."
"When I bought this villa, the first floor was specially chosen for me."
"My uncle said that from now on this master bedroom will be exclusively mine. I can come here whenever I want and stay there as long as I want."
Lan Caiping held back the grievance in her heart and gritted her teeth and said: "Su Mei, I'm not talking about you. After all, this is my uncle's house. It's inappropriate for you to live here all the time. You have to give the young couple some space."
Xue Sumei smiled and said: "Who says it's not the case! There are all our acquaintances and neighbors around the old house. It's so lively that it's hard to find anyone to talk to here."
Lan Caiping said: "Yes, Sumei, what's so good about living in a villa? It's more comfortable to live in an old house."
Xue Sumei smiled and said: "My uncle also considered it, so he said: Mom, then you can live in the two places interchangeably."
"When you feel lonely and want to be lively, go and stay in an old house for two days; when you miss Tao Zi and want to be quiet, come here and enjoy a few days of peace and quiet. There will be a nanny to take care of you every day."
"On both sides, I can live wherever I want, and wherever I feel happy."
"You said, my uncle has said this, can I disagree?"
"Ping! From now on, your eyes should be brighter. If you want to find an uncle for Weiwei, you should look for someone like this, down-to-earth! Filial! Don't worry!"
Lan Caiping endured it again and again, but finally couldn't bear it anymore, picked up her bag and walked out.
Xue Sumei: "Ping! You left so early. Why don't you stay for dinner? I'll see you off."
Lan Caiping gritted her teeth and said, "No, I'll take a taxi myself."
After saying that, he turned back and said bitterly: "Su Mei, thank you for such a good suggestion! I want to thank you very much on behalf of my family Weiwei!"
After saying that, he snorted and walked out of the villa with his head held high like a victorious soldier.
However, only she herself knows the frustration inside.
The two veteran plastic sisters have been competing for so many years, but she lost after all!
