All four of them were stunned and looked at Xia Bowen in unison.
Deep down, there was always the hope that it wouldn't be as severe as imagined. At worst, she'd be detained for a few days for education and would be released without a pension, and their mother didn't care about the pension at all.
Xia Liying stood up, her eyes reddened, "Dad, are you serious? My mom will be sentenced?"
Her hands wringing together, she pleaded softly, "Dad, please help my mom. She's old and has never suffered in her life. Time will crawl for her in there."
"How can I help?"
Xia Bowen said in a somber voice, "There are national laws and family rules. She broke the law, shouldn't she be punished?
If we're being honest, the Xindongs are strangers to you, and they are strangers you can't afford to provoke now.
Don't get any wrong ideas.
You can't deal with Xindong now, let alone Little Nuan.
Xia Zhi and Xia Liying, you both know what Little Nuan is capable of.
