Pang Jinglong had an impulsive personality.
This was both a bad thing and a good thing.
Once someone could provide proper guidance, Pang Jinglong’s impulsiveness would turn into courage.
After all, Pang Jinglong had dared to kill with a knife, so what was there that he would not dare to do?
Those who could understand the difficult situation that he and his mother had endured for many years were the true family. If they could not understand, Pang Jinglong cared nothing for kinship or blood ties, he would shut them all out!
Lawyer Liao immediately praised Pang Jinglong’s actions. “You handle things with reason and evidence, you will remain invincible. Having a son like you is your mother’s good fortune.”
Lawyer Liao had never mentioned Pang Jinglong’s incident of injuring someone four years earlier. After interacting with Pang Jinglong for a few days, Lawyer Liao found that this young man was truly not bad.
Raised single-handedly by his mother, he felt indignation at the unfair treatment his mother had suffered in the marriage, which was perfectly normal.
It was far better than some children who, while enjoying their mother’s meticulous care, despised her for being a housewife who earned no money, sided with the father who controlled the finances, and became another perpetrator!
Receiving praise from Lawyer Liao, Pang Jinglong felt a little embarrassed.
Pang Jinglong did not forget to thank Zhu Xuan and Dong Runfang for their hard work over the past few days.
Mrs Pang was also very grateful.
Zhu Xuan and Dong Runfang both smiled.
“We are friends.”
“What is there to thank for friends shopping and eating together?”
The best thanks would be for Mrs Pang to stand firm, not be influenced by outsiders, and see this divorce lawsuit through to the end!
Mrs Pang thought seriously for a moment, then took out her phone and blocked all the relatives from both her husband’s and her own family.
If she did not listen to these people, no one could morally kidnap her.
Mrs Pang no longer cared what her in-laws said, but she knew she would be influenced by her own parents. She simply had no energy to change their thinking, so she could only distance herself for now.
This method was simple and crude but effective. Everyone present laughed, and Lawyer Liao was especially satisfied.
For a lawyer, it did not matter whether the client was clever, what mattered was whether they would listen!
Mrs Pang was precisely a client who was willing to listen.
Boss Pang despised Mrs Pang so much, yet Lawyer Liao thought Mrs Pang was quite clever.
Mrs Pang at least knew who truly had her best interests at heart and who genuinely wanted to help her!
…
Wen Ying was upstairs, occasionally receiving text messages from Dong Runfang, knowing that Mrs Pang had not fallen behind.
Later, seeing Boss Pang cursing as he left with the two women, Wen Ying was very happy.
Following closely behind were two elderly people.
Wen Ying had seen photos, these two were Mrs Pang’s in-laws.
These two old things were not good people either.
They had enjoyed years of care from Mrs Pang as their daughter-in-law, yet when Boss Pang cheated and kept a mistress, the two old things only pretended to complain a little.
The two old things often brainwashed Mrs Pang, saying that it was normal for a man with money to find women outside.
When Boss Pang’s mistress gave birth to a son, the two old things advised Mrs Pang again that the Pang family was wealthy, raising one more child was no big deal, it would not shortchange Pang Jinglong.
In the previous life, when Pang Jinglong killed his stepmother, these two old things appeared in court as eyewitnesses. They did not plead for Pang Jinglong, instead describing him as a brutal and merciless assailant.
Wen Ying watched this family of scum leave.
At the neighbourhood gate, two more elderly people emerged.
These were Mrs Pang’s parents, Pang Jinglong’s maternal grandfather and grandmother.
Wen Ying’s feelings towards these two were more complicated.
According to Dong Runfang’s live updates, these were two muddle-headed fools. Mrs Pang had been driven to a dead end, yet the two elders still hoped she would continue to swallow her anger and live in the Pang family, advising her not to divorce.
In fact, Mrs Pang had no initiative at all. Before this, it was clearly Boss Pang forcing her to divorce.
Mrs Pang had no room to retreat, she could only turn passive into active, picking up legal weapons to protect her interests!
In the previous life, without Wen Ying’s intervention, Mrs Pang was eventually divorced.
At that time, with no one to help, Mrs Pang suffered great losses in the divorce, which later led to Pang Jinglong’s furious killing.
After Pang Jinglong was imprisoned, Mrs Pang kept running around for her son.
When He Zhen returned from studying in the UK, Pang Jinglong was already in prison. The He family had business dealings with Boss Pang, and He Zhen had not yet taken charge, so he could only secretly visit Mrs Pang.
The money Mrs Pang received from the divorce was initially spent partly on hiring lawyers for Pang Jinglong, the rest used to work on reducing his sentence, but having had no social contact for years, a housewife like her hardly understood these things, the two lawyers she hired were unreliable.
The money was spent, but the desired results were not achieved.
As for the small house she received in the divorce, that matter was even more disgusting. The house was Boss Pang’s verbal promise, saying it was given to Mrs Pang but without immediate transfer of ownership, later Boss Pang naturally reneged.
The only asset Mrs Pang could access was this property in Pang Jinglong’s name.
In 2007, this house was worth 3 million.
A few years later, it would be worth even more.
But Mrs Pang did not sell the house.
Because Pang Jinglong was imprisoned at 22, even with her limited experience, Mrs Pang knew that after release he would be rejected by society. With this house, he would have something to rely on when he got out.
However, Mrs Pang ultimately did not live to see her son released.
Long-term emotional suppression caused Mrs Pang to fall ill, and in the seventh year of Pang Jinglong’s imprisonment, she passed away.
When Mrs Pang became ill, He Zhen no longer cared what Boss Pang might think. He Zhen paid for her medical expenses, but unfortunately her illness was diagnosed as terminal, and even spending over a million, He Zhen could not save her.
Regarding Mrs Pang’s death, He Zhen initially kept it from Pang Jinglong, at Mrs Pang’s request.
With the cooperation of Pang Jinglong’s maternal grandfather and grandmother, this news was concealed from Pang Jinglong for a full three years.
Yes, after Mrs Pang passed away, the annual prison visitors became Pang Jinglong’s maternal grandfather and grandmother. These two elders were undoubtedly muddle-headed, but with Mrs Pang gone, among all of Pang Jinglong’s remaining relatives, only these two still hoped to help reduce his sentence.
In the tenth year of Pang Jinglong’s imprisonment, the two elders, now over seventy, went out every day to scavenge.
They scavenged for money, and every time they saved up a thousand yuan, they gave it to He Zhen.
How could He Zhen be short of that thousand yuan?
But no matter how He Zhen persuaded them, they still scavenged and brought money to him.
“They know I do not lack this small amount, they are afraid I might forget that Jinglong is still in prison.”
How could He Zhen forget!
He Zhen put all the money sent by the two elders into an iron box, using it to encourage Pang Jinglong to stay strong.
Later, without waiting for Pang Jinglong to be released with a reduced sentence, both elders passed away one after another.
No relatives remained to think about helping Pang Jinglong reduce his sentence, the only person still thinking of him was He Zhen.
He Zhen endured for thirteen years. Boss Pang suffered no retribution, his business only grew larger. Unable to tolerate it any longer, He Zhen took Wen Ying to visit Pang Jinglong in prison.
He Zhen was going to tear faces with Boss Pang, which would affect the He family’s business.
It was said that Dai Chenglan was very angry and forbade He Zhen from doing so.
However, by then He Zhen had fully taken over the He family business, He Zhinian supported He Zhen, and Dai Chenglan’s anger was powerless.
Wen Ying watched the two elders lingering at the neighbourhood entrance.
They always believed Mrs Pang should not divorce.
They would also scavenge for money, wanting to help reduce Pang Jinglong’s sentence.
Therefore, these two elders were different from Mrs Pang’s in-laws, they did not belong to the enemy camp, but were potential allies that could be won over.
Wen Ying pushed open the car door and got out, standing in front of the two elders with a beaming smile.
“You must be Pang Jinglong’s maternal grandfather and grandmother, right? My name is Wen Ying, I am Pang Jinglong’s friend. I often hear him mention you both, saying how much you dote on him.”
Jinglong’s friend?
The two elders had no guard up.
When Wen Ying approached them, the two elders clung to her like a lifeline. When Wen Ying suggested they chat, they were even more eager than her.
Wen Ying, like a human trafficker, lured the two elders to a nearby teahouse, sent Dong Runfang a text saying she had something temporary to handle, put down her phone, and attentively poured water for them.
“Xiao Wen, we are not afraid of family shame getting out. Jinglong insists on making his mother divorce, can you persuade him?”
The two elders did not know Wen Ying was the instigator, still thinking it was Pang Jinglong who had taken charge and hired Lawyer Liao.
Wen Ying looked completely innocent. “Persuade him? I have been persuading Pang Jinglong not to be impulsive. But there is no way around it now. It is not Aunt Zhang who wants the divorce, Uncle Pang has already booked the remarriage hotel and even sent out wedding invitations. Aunt Zhang has no choice at all, she is the one being abandoned!”
