Seventeen Again: The Sweet Life with My Family

Chapter 281: Turn Yourself In

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A group of people arrived at the police station, and at the entrance, Wen Nian saw Wei Lai, who was crying uncontrollably, along with several members of the Wei family and a group of media.

Wei Lai’s eyes were swollen, and her voice was hoarse. “Sir, 1 really didn’t know this would have such a big impact. I’m so young and really don’t understand. But my parents said 1 must take responsibility, and I didn’t know the consequences would be so severe. Police uncle, I’ve come to turn myself in.”

Wei Lai was crying so hard that she was gasping for breath. After all, she was a minor, and her parents were surely coming to the police station with her. With a group of reporters at the station’s entrance, the Wei family took the initiative to turn themselves in, making the police hesitant to take any action for fear of negative consequences.

Li Bing also secretly wiped her tears at the side. “Officer, it’s our fault for not disciplining her well. Since she hired the a group of online commentors to slander others, we have to punish her. Otherwise, she won’t know what she did wrong when she grows up.”

Wei Feng, on the other hand, noticed Wen Nian and her group approaching and hurriedly stepped forward. “Wen Nian, 1 am sorry. My granddaughter has caused trouble for you repeatedly. I’m truly ashamed to see you again. But she’s just a teenager. Can you give her another chance? 1 beg you, 1 am begging you.”

The reporters initially focused their cameras on Wei Feng and then quickly shifted their attention to Wen Nian, bombarding her with a series of questions.

“Wen Nian, what’s the grudge between you and Wei Lai? She’s targeted you multiple times, hasn’t she?”

“Wei Lai is still a minor. Will you forgive her? If she’s found guilty, will she be sent to a juvenile detention center? Her life might be ruined forever.”

“The Wen family and the Wei family have always been on good terms. Are you going to be ruthless?”

Hearing the reporters’ questions, Wen Nian already understood that Wei Feng had brought them to help his granddaughter.

She held Wen Xing’s hand, who was about to flare up, and said to the reporter, “Are the reporters not well-educated? Is that how you use the term ‘ruthless’?”

She then looked around at the reporters and continued, “If this matter hadn’t been exposed, 1 would have been arrested on charges of attempted murder. At the very least, 1 would have been imprisoned for three to four years, unable to take the college entrance exam, my life ruined. Even if I were to be released, I’d struggle to find work due to the false accusations, and my family would suffer.”

“As the victim, I haven’t even asked why someone wanted to be ruthless toward me. Are you all helping the criminal by speaking for them? Can I understand that some of you have been instigated by someone to intentionally defame me? Since we’re at the police station now, let’s deal with this together. I’ve already hired a lawyer, so we will sue you too and let the police investigate.”

Wen Nian’s words left no room for sentiment, and the reporters who had questioned her took a step back.

Wei Feng glared at the reporter. He suddenly felt that things were becoming more and more difficult.

It was true that Wei Lai had sought others’ help, but Wei Feng had already inquired and realized that these ideas ultimately came from Jiang Chun. However, Wei Lai had no evidence.

After the incident, the Jiang family in the capital contacted him directly. This was also the first time the Jiang family in the capital contacted him since Wei Xiao and Jiang Ning’s engagement was confirmed.

However, this time the contact meant that Wei Lai would bear all the consequences, and the Jiang family would erase all traces of their involvement. Ultimately, this matter boiled down to a jealousy-fueled rivalry between two young girls. Furthermore, Wei Lai was still a minor, so at most, she would receive some education.

Moreover, the Jiang family would assist the Wei family in acquiring a piece of land in the capital, which would be used for constructing a shopping mall for the Wei Group. However, the Jiang family’s condition was that this matter must not implicate Jiang Chun in any way and should have no connection with the Jiang family.

In the past, Wei Feng might not have allowed the Wei family to suffer such a huge loss, but considering the benefits brought by the Jiang family, he naturally wouldn’t miss out on such a lucrative opportunity. However, due to the extensive impact of Wen Nian’s incident, he had no choice but to let Wei Lai bear the burden.

Li Bing gave Wei Lai a firm push, but Wei Lai was reluctant to step forward and apologize. Having to perform this act in front of the media was already embarrassing enough, and she also noticed Shen Jun by Wen Nian’s side.

How could Li Bing not know what her daughter was thinking?

She said resentfully, “Your grandfather will compensate you for what you’ve done now. When the Wei family gains a foothold in the capital, you’ll be the eldest daughter of the Wei family. Even if you can’t marry Shen Jun, are you afraid that there won’t be a better one?”

Wei Lai felt indecisive initially, but after hearing her mother’s words, she suddenly felt that this course of action was reasonable. Moreover, she had taken the blame for Jiang Chun this time. The Jiang family would definitely not mistreat her.

With newfound courage, she walked up to Wen Nian and said, “Sister Wen Nian, please forgive me considering my young age.. I’ve turned myself in, so please spare me, okay?”
