Chapter 46 The Truth

At the beginning of summer vacation, Wu Chunhao eagerly found out the address of Si Nian's home and rushed over to ask.

But he waited outside the Si family's door for several days and didn't even see a real member of the Si family.

Finally, he was told by a man who claimed to be the Si family's housekeeper that he didn't need to worry about the eldest young master's affairs, as the Si family would take care of it.

In this way, Wu Chunhao spent another summer vacation in anxiety. During this period, he called Si Nian's phone several times, but it was always turned off.

After the fall semester of his senior year, Wu Chunhao did not wait for Si Nian, but waited for a middle-aged man in a suit and tie.

The middle-aged man claimed to be a senior lawyer in a law firm and was entrusted by the Si family to become Si Nian's attorney.

Hearing this, Jiang Sui and Cui Jin were both shocked, even in disbelief.

Wu Chunhao wiped his face and drank a glass of wine.

"I was even more f**king shocked than you were!"

When Wu Chunhao got the news from his lawyer, Si Nian had been missing for two months.

The good brother he had been looking for for two months had actually been detained in the detention center for two months.

"What's the reason?" Jiang Sui asked Wu Chunhao anxiously.

Wu Chunhao stared at Jiang Sui for a while, seeming to find it difficult to speak.

He lowered his head, pondered for a while, and said in a very soft voice, "Strong/strong!"

After Jiang Sui heard this, the small wine glass he had been holding in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.

With a "bang", it broke into pieces.

Just like Jiang Sui's heart at this moment, it was broken into pieces.

She widened her peach blossom eyes, opened her mouth, and shook her head slowly.

"This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Jiang Sui simply couldn't accept that Si Nian was accused of such a crime.

Wu Chunhao sneered helplessly, "I had the same reaction as you at that time, but it was useless for us to believe him. All the evidence was against him. Xue Dan is too cunning!"

Wu Chunhao drank another glass of wine.

"But Brother Haozi, you know the whole story, you can testify for him!"

Jiang Suitian naively thought that Wu Chunhao alone could help Si Nian clear the charges, but she forgot that Wu Chunhao was not present when the incident happened.

Wu Chunhao's eyes were deep. "I testified in court, but I was not a witness. My testimony cannot prove that he did not do such a thing."

After Wu Chunhao contacted Si Nian's lawyer twice, he finally met Si Nian again in court two months later.

At that time, Si Nian had dark skin, untidy beard, dull eyes and a cold expression.

During those two months, Wu Chunhao didn't know how Si Nian got through, but he was completely different from when he was in school.

In court, Wu Chunhao learned that Si Nian had never pleaded guilty from the time he was arrested to the time of trial. He always insisted that he was innocent, even though all the evidence proved that he was guilty.

"Then he must have been wronged. I believe him."

At this time, Jiang Sui was in tears again and his voice was trembling.

"Alas!" Wu Chunhao sighed heavily, "We all believed in him, but it was useless!"

Because the prosecution had sufficient evidence, Si Nian's attorney had no choice but to change his defense from not guilty to guilty and sentence reduction defense.

Wu Chunhao didn't know how the attorney and the Si family persuaded Si Nian to plead guilty, but the case was concluded very quickly anyway.

In the end, Si Nian was found guilty of rape and sentenced to two years and six months in prison.

Wu Chunhao said this was already the minimum sentence for this crime.

Because the old man of the Si family had considerable influence in the Jiangnan area, this matter was suppressed very strictly and no news leaked out.

Those who knew about it were all related persons, and the Si family had also taken care of them.

The school did not publicly expel Si Nian, and only said that he voluntarily dropped out for personal reasons.

Shortly after serving his sentence, Xue Dan went abroad to study.

That's why there are such rumors in school.

Later, Wu Chunhao often went to visit Si Nian, but was rejected by Si Nian without exception.

The police officer in the prison said that not only him, but Si Nian also refused to see anyone in there, including the old man of the Si family.

Later, Si Nian was released early after serving two years because of his good behavior in prison.

On the day he was released from prison, Si Nian did not inform any of his family members, but only informed Wu Chunhao.

When Wu Chunhao saw Si Nian, who seemed like a completely different person, outside the prison gate, he couldn't help but hug Si Nian and burst into tears.

He was a grown man, but he cried and shouted to Si Nian in the street, "I am sorry for you! I hurt you!"

Si Nian patted him lightly and said in a calm tone, "It's not your fault. If it weren't for you, it would have been someone else!"

At that time, Wu Chunhao didn't understand what Si Nian meant, and Si Nian was also very secretive about the cause and effect of the matter and didn't want to talk about it more.

But they all knew that they were framed by Xue Dan.

It is not difficult to guess now whether there is someone behind Xue Dan.

Wu Chunhao broke down and sobbed again when he spoke here , "I am so sorry to Si Nian! If I had been there that night, this wouldn't have happened. It was me who gave Xue Dan the opportunity to frame Si Nian."

Jiang Sui could no longer find words to express her anger towards Xue Dan. She felt that the slap she had given her during the day was too light, and she should have cut that woman into pieces.

Sinian's life and bright future were ruined by this woman.

What should she do with her brother, her beloved Si Nian, in the future?

Are you going to spend your whole life hiding in a corner with this stigma?

Thinking of this, Jiang Sui felt so sad that he felt like he was going to die.

She was silent, crying, drinking glass after glass of wine.

As if this could ease the heart-breaking feeling.

Jiang Sui and Wu Chunhao each had a cup, and they drank while crying.

Cui Jin sat at the other end of the sofa, brows furrowed, and didn't say a word from beginning to end, just watching them quietly.

When the wine was almost gone, he thoughtfully opened the wine he had treasured in his wine cabinet.

He couldn't stop the two people in front of him at this time. After listening to what Wu Chunhao said, he felt that he should let the two of them drink to their heart's content tonight.

The person telling the story is in great pain, and the person listening is heartbroken. They both need the anesthesia of alcohol to temporarily forget the pain.

When Jiang Sui and Wu Chunhao were both drunk and lying on the sofa, crying and laughing, Cui Jin called Si Nian.

Soon, Si Nian, wearing a black wool coat, appeared anxiously in Cui Jin's office.

After seeing Jiang Sui and Wu Chunhao drunk on the sofa respectively, Si Nian already had some vague guesses in his mind.

He looked at Jiang Sui, who was half lying on the sofa with his eyes closed and still sobbing, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Smell the wine, the girl is safe in your hands! I'll take the rat away!"

Cui Jin patted Si Nian on the shoulder and Si Nian nodded.

Cui Jin helped the drunk Wu Chunhao up and took him out of the office.

Soon, Si Nian and Jiang Sui were the only ones left in the office.

Si Nian walked to the sofa and squatted down next to Jiang Sui.

The strands of hair in front of Jiang Sui's ears had been wet by her tears at some point, and were now sticking sticky to her slightly red face.

Si Nian reached out and lifted the wet hair and tucked it behind Jiang Sui's ear.

His movements were very gentle, as if he was afraid of breaking any of her hair.

Without the sticky wet hair blocking her view, Jiang Sui's creamy, slightly rosy face was fully revealed.

Si Nian saw that the place was covered with traces of tears.

Did his girl cry because she felt sorry for his situation and was sad?

His heartstrings seemed to be plucked violently by something, and he could no longer control himself and lowered his head.

Si Nian's kiss gently fell on the corner of Jiang Sui's eyes, kissing away the remaining tears in her eyes.

Jiang Sui seemed to sense something and began to sob softly again.

Si Nian slowly raised his head and looked at Jiang Sui, and asked her in a deep and forbearing voice, "Are you very sad?"

Jiang Sui still had his eyes closed, but nodded slightly.

"For me?"

Si Nian's voice is magnetic, but it makes people sad to listen to it.

Jiang Sui did not nod or shake her head this time, and the tears from the corners of her eyes slid down again.

Si Nian couldn't bear it, so he tilted his head and looked away.

After a long time, he let out a light breath and reached out to gently wipe away the tears on Jiang Sui's face again.

"Come on, I'll take you home."

Si Nian slowly helped Jiang Sui up and carried her on his shoulders.

Jiang Sui suddenly seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and hugged his neck tightly, causing him to almost suffocate.

He had no choice but to coax her softly, "Sui Sui, relax a little. I'm here and I won't leave."

Then Jiang Sui's arms really loosened a little bit.

Si Nian carried Jiang Sui on his back to the bar entrance to hail a taxi. Just when Si Nian was about to put Jiang Sui in the car, Jiang Sui suddenly hummed non-stop.

Si Nian had no choice but to carry her on his back again and kept apologizing to the driver.

After the taxi left, Si Nian stood on the roadside with Jiang Sui on his back and asked Jiang Sui softly, "Do you feel uncomfortable? Do you want me to carry you to the hospital?"

Jiang Sui put half of his face on Si Nian's back and hummed a few times.

Si Nian was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.

"You don't want to go?"

After asking this, Si Nian saw that Jiang Sui had no reaction, so he said, "If you don't want to go, then let's go home."

In this way, Si Nian walked along, talking to himself all the way, and carried Jiang Sui back to the store.

That night, Jiang Sui was not at all at ease.

She vomited several times and cried and laughed even when she was asleep.

When she cried, she curled up in the quilt like a bullied kitten. When she laughed, she could not hide the sadness in her heart, with tears at the corners of her eyes.

Si Nian has always been by her side, taking good care of her and comforting her, and also taking in all her emotions.

He had been hiding the truth from her because he was afraid that she would be sad after knowing it.

This was the last thing he wanted to see, because it made him more helpless than being falsely accused.

Since he was still injured, he didn't know how to comfort Jiang Sui's heart which was hurt by his experience.

The next day, the bright sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains onto Jiang Sui's face.

She felt it was too stinging to open her eyes, and couldn't help but put out her hands to block it.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying on Si Nian's bed, and she was the only one in the room.

Jiang Sui slowly sat up and tapped his head which was a little swollen due to the hangover.

She didn't rush to the bed, but leaned against the head of the bed, curled up her knees, put her hands on them, and stared into space quietly.

The truth she learned last night shocked her and made her sad.

Without the numbing effect of alcohol, she didn't know how to face Si Nian or how to heal his wounds.
