Yi Xue clutched the scarf in her hand, her nails turning white, regretting her own naivety for raising a little demon.

Xue Feiting had a sullen face; after so many years in the limelight, his pride was nearly shattered by this adopted daughter.

The blatant scrutiny from the people around made him extremely irritable, but he couldn’t lash out or lose his composure in public, so he had to close his eyes to ignore others.

Xue Feiqun and the Xue Family’s lawyer were in stark contrast to the pair; Xue Feiqun had a smile on his lips, holding a string of beads, dashing and debonair, impossible to associate with concern for Xue Huiyi.

The Xue Family’s lawyer was not defending Xue Huiyi, leaving it to his subordinates. He didn’t want to fight this doomed battle; what could be done for Xue Huiyi had already been done, and the pre-trial training was also completed. The rest was up to the judge’s decision.

When Xue Huiyi appeared, her eyes were sunken, her hair disheveled, looking haggard and weary, nothing like her former radiant self.

At first glance, she saw the "culprit" who had sent her to prison, but at second glance, she saw Yu Haoming sitting in front of Su Xiaocai.

Yu Haoming looked at her with a complex, sympathetic gaze.

Xue Huiyi’s heart skipped a beat; who was he?

Slowly, Xue Huiyi widened her eyes, trying to see the person clearly.

Why was he here? At this moment, wasn’t he dead?

Yu Haoming looked very similar to when he was young; as long as Xue Huiyi had memories from childhood, she likely wouldn’t forget this brother.

But Xue Huiyi’s memory was like someone who had been in society for years suddenly returning to a high school exam; the questions seemed familiar, but she couldn’t solve them.

In her view, Yu Haoming’s appearance was separated by many, many years.

Xue Huiyi felt both surprise and fear.

The surprise was that Yu Haoming was a responsible and family-oriented good brother. The fear was that in her past life, she had harmed Yu Haoming, and in the end, he died.

Now, towards familiar people from the past, she was like a startled bird; after experiencing the setbacks given by Su Xiaocai, this "future person," she was very afraid that Yu Haoming was also reborn. Otherwise, why would he be sitting on the victim’s side?

Just as she thought of this, she stopped.

He was the manager of Extraordinary Island, and perhaps he came with Su Xiaocai to see her, his cousin.

Locking eyes with him, Xue Huiyi understood that this person probably still cared about familial ties; it must be so.

Su Xiaocai felt that Xue Huiyi’s mental state was somewhat off, a bit like a marionette, her eyes, commonly known as the windows to the soul, seemed too openly expressive of her emotions.

Touching the Space Button disguised as a ring, Su Xiaocai could only surmise that she had been confined for too long and had developed issues.

After Xue Huiyi walked past, no longer looking at Yu Haoming.

Yu Haoming rubbed his weary eyes vigorously; my goodness, to practice this look, he was taken to the New World for special training.

It was only with the guidance of two minor stars, Fei’er and Luo Min, taking turns, that the mask was formed.

Beyond this, he couldn’t do more; he really couldn’t pretend to love Xue Huiyi. It was too absurd; it was easier to grin at clients.

He was a vagabond, having seen the vicissitudes of life, able to value familial ties but also treat them with indifference.

Su Xiaocai was his acknowledged sister, and he was willing to go to great lengths for her. Xue Huiyi, a selfish ingrate, he found her presence inauspicious just by glancing at her.

When the judge made a decisive statement, sentencing Xue Huiyi to twenty years in prison and requiring her to pay the victims at least ten million in compensation, everyone on the victim’s side, except for Yu Haoming who pressed his lips together, was jubilant.

For the bullied, it was like a perfect curtain had been drawn.

They did not wish for Xue Huiyi to die, but she had to face justice, not avoid it.

She had harmed so many people that when compiling the compensation, the staff were shocked by the amount.

Generally, compensation for bullying, when it doesn’t result in bodily harm, is in the hundreds of thousands, considering it’s for mental impact.

Ten million, higher than many commercial compensations.

If not for the Xue Family bearing full responsibility, Xue Huiyi would find it tough to repay ten million even if she worked in prison until death.

Xue Huiyi lowered her head and chose to plead guilty.

To refuse the verdict might result in being charged with "murder."

Better to stay in prison, get some fresh air daily, behave well. With guilt, it wouldn’t be the death penalty.

After the court’s sentencing, it was about arranging which prison she would go to.

Su Xiaocai asked Porlin if she could be sent to Bifeng Prison, an area with no mineral resources, merely a rocky land stretching thousands of kilometers, all harsh terrain.
