"In short, we can only take this matter one step at a time. We'll go to apologize to the Chen family first and see if they're willing to forgive us. If they're unwilling, then we have no choice but to find another way."
Wei Ling was still stunned and couldn't speak. Her face was as white as a piece of paper, still holding the document Shen Jingyan had given her earlier. Her throat felt like it was blocked, and she couldn't say a word.
Before seeing this document, she was still arrogant and confident. She wasn't afraid to stand up against Qiao Nian. Even if she got in trouble, she still wanted to teach Qiao Nian a lesson.
However, she now understood the situation clearly. Qiao Nian had something against Wei Qi. This evidence was enough to ruin Wei Qi's life. Moreover, they made it very clear. If they apologized sincerely now, Wei Qi would only face up to five years in prison. However, if they decided to continue fighting against them and pestering them about Qiao Nian beating him up, Wei Qi would spend the rest of his life in prison.
Wei Ling clenched her jaw tightly. She hated that she didn't have a choice in this matter. She felt powerless.
She could continue to fight against this decision. However, even if the court ruled that Qiao Nian beat Wei Qi up for no reason, the punishment wouldn't be severe as the medical records showed that Wei Qi was only slightly injured.
Furthermore, Qiao Nian had only just turned 18. She was still considered a student.
Under such circumstances, the court wouldn't punish her too severely.
At the most, she would only face a fine. Qiao Nian would also have to be locked up in the detention center for about three to five days and receive counseling.
On the other hand, her brother would have to pay a heavy price.
She couldn't afford to risk it. She hated Qiao Nian so much that she couldn't help clenching her jaw. Even so, she didn't dare to gamble with her brother's life!
Shen Jingyan was aware of her temperament. He knew she was from a very influential family. She had spent most of her life looking down on people and acting arrogantly. She had also never suffered a loss before. It was because he understood his wife's character so well that he set his eyes on her again and said with a serious expression, "Wei Ling, this is Wei Qi's last chance. When we see Chen Yuan later, you must look out for your attitude. Don't blow this matter up even more. Wei Qi will be the one on the losing end. He's still young. Do you want him to spend the rest of his life in prison?"
