As soon as the phrase "handled according to the law" was mentioned, the parents of the Rao Family panicked, while the parents of the Hu Family grew even more anxious. They stopped Rao Jie and said, "Rao Jie, we know you are a good child, but if it weren't for your family wanting to sacrifice you and use you, your older brother wouldn't have lured my son into making a mistake. Hu Ze would never do such a thing. To be honest, given our family's circumstances, it would be easy for Hu Ze to find someone more attractive than you; there’s no need to resort to crime! You need to reason this out! It's all your family's fault!"
With the police's assistance, they found it impossible to stop Rao Jie from leaving. Once the police intervened, the Hu Family's parents were left helpless.
Rao Gang was so anxious he couldn't find his words. He knew that Rao Jie was resentful and likely to turn against her older brother, but as parents, what could they do? They couldn't just stand by and watch one child send another to prison.
Rao Gang desperately wanted to follow her, but his legs felt unsteady. Huang Xiang began to cry out, "Rao Jie, you can't treat your brother like this! If you do this, we won't recognize you as our daughter anymore! Think carefully; he is your biological brother! You can't take revenge just because we treated him slightly better than you in the past!"
Rao Jie didn’t hear the rest of what Huang Xiang said because Wu Rong had covered her ears. Wu Rong disliked anyone disturbing Rao Jie’s emotions, even if they were her own parents.
Seeing that expression on Rao Jie's face made Wu Rong unhappy. After taking her into a room, Wu Rong finally let go of her hands and said, "When we leave later, just avoid them. If you don’t want to see them, then we won’t."
Rao Jie’s expression darkened a bit, but she managed a forced smile in front of Wu Rong. Wu Rong lifted Rao Jie's chin and looked deeply into her eyes before smiling and saying, "Others may not favor you, but I do. When the police ask questions later, just tell the truth."
Although Rao Jie resented her older brother for putting her through this ordeal—he didn’t even regard her as his sister—she found it hard to be so ruthless if it came down to actually reporting him.
Rao Jie couldn’t help but frown at Wu Rong and asked, "Do we really have to…"
Wu Rong's expression darkened. "We agreed; you will listen to me!"
Zhan Ruoyang chimed in from the side, "This matter cannot be tolerated; not even for your own family. Rao Jie, just focus on sharing your experience; it's merely a process. The evidence against him is already substantial. Plus, now that you're married, he can stand up for you."
In the end, Rao Jie took a deep breath and followed the police inside.
...
Afterward, Rao Jie indeed did not see her parents again and was taken away by Wu Rong. However, instead of going straight home, Wu Rong took her out for a meal.
They went to their favorite restaurant for an elegant candlelit dinner with desserts they both loved. Yet tonight felt strangely off.
Rao Jie was always absent-minded during meals.
Wu Rong took a sip of red wine and suddenly let out a muffled groan.
Startled, Rao Jie quickly looked up to see Wu Rong frowning in displeasure while supporting his own arm.
Rao Jie hurriedly asked, "What’s wrong? Did you bump your wound?"
Wu Rong's injury was on his right arm; although it was just a superficial wound, moving around too much could easily cause it to reopen.
