"Brother Weimin?" Mo Qiang climbed down the stairs and looked at the r who was sitting next to Shao Hui.
The two rs were engrossed in a conversation when Mo Qiang arrived and Ji Weimin turned to look at Mo Qiang who was coming down from the third floor.
"Miss Qiang," Ji Weimin stood up from his seat and looked at Mo Qiang with a pleasant smile on his face. "Forgive , it seems like I turned up at the wrong ti. I truly had no idea that you were napping."
"Oh it's quite alright. I usually don't take naps, " Mo Qiang said as she walked over to the plush couch and sat down.
She indeed did not take naps in the afternoon but last night she was trying to purify the mutated rice grains that she had taken from the underaged space pirates and it was only early in the morning did she finished her work.
For the sake of growing rice as soon as possible, Mo Qiang not only processed the rice grains but also added another boost to the grains.
Now inside her room were a bunch of fluttering rice seedlings that could be sown directly in the land.
And because she was busy throughout the entire night, Mo Qiang ended up taking a nap in the afternoon. Just, curse her luck that the very day she decided to take a nap, these two rs ca looking for her.
She motioned for Ji Weimin to sit down as well. "My husband said that there was sothing that you wanted to say to ."
"That is indeed the case," Ji Weimin glanced at Yin Fu who was eyeing him with great distaste along with the other one.
Ignoring the two, he sat back down on the couch before saying, "Chang Jun's punishnt has been decided."
No sooner than he finished speaking, the entire living room suddenly fell silent.
Though the one behind Mo Qiang's imprisonnt was Chang Jun, their family had no desire to remain involved with this matter and wanted to forget it as soon as possible.
Thus, neither of them paid attention to what was happening with Chang Jun or Ji Weimin. Not to ntion after the first court hearing, Ji Weimin's company asked for the hearing to be turned private for the protection of Ji Weimin.
Ever since then neither of them heard anything about the hearing or what happened to Chang Jun.
"Is that so?" Mo Qiang was the first one to break the silence. She glanced at Ji Weimin who seed to be smiling but there was sothing more within that smile.
She didn't comnt on it, instead, she asked, "And what is her sentence?"
"Death penalty," answered Jin Weimin as he lowered his head. "She would be killed by fifty shots to her body." Originally Chang Jun was supposed to be killed by being hanged but it was not enough to satisfy the protesters.
They have after all lost their beloved family mbers and thus wanted an even more severe punishnt for Chang Jun and that was how her punishnt was changed.
"I see," Mo Qiang remarked with a lighthearted voice. She glanced at Ji Weimin before remarking, "Are you feeling relieved, Mister Weimin? I an she has caused a lot of trouble for you hasn't she?"
"Indeed, after all, she has committed so many cris, it's only right for her to receive punishnt," said Ji Weimin with a calm expression on his face. "I believe that those who have lost their family must also—"
"I was not talking about others, Mister Weimin," Mo Qiang interrupted as she looked at Ji Weimin, with her hands resting on her knees, she said, "I was talking about you. Are you feeling relieved? And if you aren't you do know what to do right?"
Ji Weimin raised his head and looked at Mo Qiang. His eyes widened and the tips of his fingers trembled as two seconds later he lowered his head and covered his face.
His actions startled everyone except Mo Qiang.
"I—I…Miss Qiang, thank you," he spoke in a sobbing voice.
*******
"What was that about?" Shao Hui asked as he closed the door behind him and then walked over to Mo Qiang and the rest. "Why did he thank you?"
Just what in the world made Ji Weimin so emotional?
"Hmm, it's nothing," Mo Qiang leaned back on the couch and threw her head back such that she was staring at the ceiling on top of her head. "He was just feeling confused. I believe he is still having a hard ti believing that Chang Jun is going to die."
"But why!?" Shao Hui asked as he turned to look at Mo Qiang with a stunned expression on his face. "Shouldn't he be relieved and happy that that woman is going to be killed? She made him suffer so much!"
She nearly killed him, so why was Ji Weimin feeling upset?
"Humans are complicated, Hui Hui," Yin Fu said sagely. "For us and others, Chang Jun is nothing but a criminal but for Ji Weimin, she was his lover and his liberation. You heard her in the court right?"
"She is the sister of the woman who had chased after Ji Weimin for years. Not to ntion that woman died protecting Ji Weimin."
"I believe that he is feeling sorry for Chang Rong."
Shao Hui frowned and remarked, "But didn't she say that Ji Weimin rejected her? Why would he feel sorry for that woman?"
Xie Jie sighed. He rose from the couch on which he was sitting before walking over to Shao Hui.
He raised his hand and placed it on top of Shao Hui's head before saying, "Use your brains, Hui Hui. Why do you think that Ji Weimin let soone who resembled Chang Rong stay next to him all along? He either regretted his rejection or he never wanted to reject her but had no other choice."
"It's only fools like Chang Jun who cannot see the truth as they are blinded by their revenge."
