Chapter 1631: Things Remain, but People Change

The judge was extremely displeased and called out, “Silence!”

Guan Yanhong behaved as if he hadn’t heard anything and yelled, “There must be some plot beneath this! I refuse to accept it! I want to make an appeal!”

“This is already the highest people’s court there is. Security! Take him away!”

Guan Yanhong was escorted out by two burly police officers. That did not deter him from continuing his tirade.

He struggled and yelled the whole way. His voice was very loud.

The judge announced that court was dismissed. Shen Luo’an was soon taken away.

Just as he was being led inside, Shen Luo’an’s eyes found Ye Youyou among the crowd.

Ye Youyou felt like her heart was getting ripped out piece by piece. It hurt.

Li Jinnan rested his hand gently on her shoulder and consoled her. “Don’t worry. I’ll get him out.”

Ye Youyou’s eyes reddened. She wrapped both arms around Li Jinnan.

Li Jinnan held her by her shoulders. The look in his eyes softened. He didn’t say a word.

When Shen Longyue and the other members of the Shen family witnessed the scene, they didn’t feel too happy about it.

When Ye Youyou had been part of the Shen family, Shen Longyue hadn’t been too fond of her.

He felt that the girl was evil and vindictive. She had harmed Guan Queye so severely despite her young age.

After interacting with her for some time, he realized that she was quite timid. She also had a kind heart.

How was it even possible for such a child to push her own sister down the cliff?

Because Old Mrs. Shen wasn’t too fond of Ye Youyou, Shen Longyue didn’t bother to make any effort with her either.

On the other hand, Mrs. Shen got along quite well with Ye Youyou. Shen Zhilie’s relationship with Ye Youyou was an amicable one as well.

Mrs. Shen wiped her tears and looked in the direction of Li Jinnan and Ye Youyou.

She walked to Ye Youyou’s side and called out, “Youyou.”

Ye Youyou and Li Jinnan were in each other’s embrace. Neither had noticed her presence.

The moment they heard Mrs. Shen’s voice, both their bodies stiffened. They turned their heads toward her.

Mrs. Shen had been crying her eyes out. Her eyes were red and swollen. She looked fatigued.

It was obvious that the past few days had been torture for her.

Ye Youyou straightened up and turned around to face her. “Uncle, Auntie, Zhilie,” she greeted.

The way she addressed them had reverted to what it had been long before, in the days when she had yet to marry Shen Luo’an.

Shen Longyue sighed inwardly and felt conflicted.

Mrs. Shen was more visibly upset. In a choked voice, she said, “Thank you.”

“What are you thanking me for, Auntie?” Ye Youyou’s expression was calm and collected. She said, “If you’re thanking me for all the effort I put in regarding Shen Luo’an’s case, that’s not necessary. I was merely doing what I should. If not for him, the one being wrongfully imprisoned would be me.”

Ye Youyou was just stating facts. When Mrs. Shen heard her, she heavily sighed.

Ye Youyou had once been part of their family after all.

Although they were already divorced, Shen Luo’an was probably still unable to forget her. That was the only plausible reason why he’d take the fall for her when it came to the crunch.

Ye Youyou continued, “If you’re thanking me for divorcing Shen Luo’an, that’s even more unnecessary.”

Witnessing the complex emotions on Mrs. Shen’s face gave Ye Youyou a strange sense of satisfaction.

After a pause, Ye Youyou slowly resumed speaking. “If not for the fact that he divorced me to be together with Guan Queye, I wouldn’t be with the man I truly love now either.”

Mrs. Shen’s heart wrenched. “Youyou…”

“I will find a way to get Shen Luo’an out, Auntie. Please give my regards to Granny Shen.” Ye Youyou smiled and gazed at them with reddened eyes. “Please help me to thank her too.”
