Chapter 232: Chapter 232 Shifting the Blame

Han Bowwen immediately became angry, "What the hell, why should Jingting bear the responsibility for Xiao Liang’s mistake!"

"You all know, making fake medication is a jailable offense! Are you suggesting that Jingting should go to jail instead of Xiao Liang!"

Guo Yueling scoffed, "Brother-in-law, when have we ever said such a thing? We just don’t want Jingting to speak out about Xiao Liang’s issue; we’ve never said let Jingting go to jail for Xiao Liang."

Han Bowwen snorted coldly, "Isn’t it the same thing? Someone has to take the responsibility for the fake medication. If Xiao Liang doesn’t take it, doesn’t that leave only Jingting?"

Ding Lijuan, looking impatient, said, "Alright, aren’t we trying to find a solution now? We haven’t actually said Jingting must go to jail for Xiao Liang, what are you so anxious about!"

Han Bowwen was so choked up he couldn’t speak.

That’s when Ding Liang thought of something, "Right, since those problematic drugs were supplied by Daler Company, shouldn’t Daler Company be the one to take responsibility? We should be pursuing their liability first!"

Ding Lijuan’s eyes lit up, "Xiao Liang is really quick-witted!"

Han Jingting was speechless, "Do you think I didn’t think of that? I had someone go to Daler Company right away, but the company declared bankruptcy yesterday, and the boss Wong Lei has already disappeared!"

"What..." Both Ding Liang and Ding Lijuan were stunned.

Han Bowwen analyzed, "The most important thing now is that someone must take responsibility for this whole matter."

"Since that Wong Lei has flown the coop, now there’s only Jingting and Xiao Liang left! Between you two, one must stand up and take responsibility!"

Guo Yueling suddenly sat down on the ground and started crying, "Oh God, what sin have we committed!"

"We were doing fine in our small county town, how come we ran into such trouble here!"

"If Xiao Liang really goes to jail, his late father’s spirit won’t rest in peace! Wuu wuu wuu..."

Ding Lijuan was moved by the scene.

After a moment, Ding Lijuan seemed to have made up her mind, "Jingting, your uncle only has Xiao Liang as a son; why don’t you take on the responsibility for Xiao Liang? After all, you’re a well-known businesswoman in Huai City, the authorities probably won’t do much to you."

"Besides, there haven’t been any actual losses this time; maybe you won’t have to go to jail..."

Han Jingting was dumbstruck, unable to believe her ears.

They actually wanted her to go to jail for someone else—was she even their own flesh and blood!

Han Bowwen was also completely furious, "Lijuan, what nonsense are you spouting! Your brother only has this one son, don’t I have only this one daughter as well?"

"Any other thing can be discussed, but I absolutely will not let Jingting go to jail for someone else!"

Even a clay figurine has a temper, and at this moment, Han Bowwen fully lost his patience.

Ding Lijuan knew her request was indeed a bit much, but she much preferred the thought of her beloved treasure Ding Liang not going to jail.

Just then, Ding Liang suddenly spoke up, "Actually, it doesn’t necessarily have to be either my sister or me who bears all this!"

Han Bowwen was stunned, "What do you mean?"

Ding Liang smiled slyly, "What I’m saying is, we could find someone else to take all this responsibility for us. For example... Chen Xuan!"

Han Bowwen and the others were momentarily stunned.

Ding Lijuan clapped her hands in excitement, her face full of doting smiles, "True to Xiao Liang’s cleverness! If we drag Chen Xuan out to take all this, then neither Jingting nor Xiao Liang would have to go to jail!"

Guo Yueling analyzed, "Exactly, as a husband and CEO, Chen Xuan is often seen as the bullied one. Both in terms of the opportunity to commit the crime and the motive, he fits the profile perfectly!"

"Having him to take the fall would be absolutely perfect!"

Han Jingting laughed in fury, "What kind of joke are you playing, this whole affair has absolutely nothing to do with Chen Xuan, why should he take the fall for Ding Liang!"

Ding Lijuan spoke with righteous indignation, "Why? Simply because our family is his benefactor! Because our family has supported him for six years for nothing!"

"If it weren’t for our family’s help at that time, his old mother’s grave would already be half a meter high with grass! As for him, he would probably have starved to death long ago!"

"Now, we’re just asking him to take some responsibility, which happens to be an opportunity for him to repay his debt of gratitude. He should be thanking us instead!"

Han Jingting simply didn’t know what to say.

Having someone else serve your prison sentence, and they should thank you for it?

Where in the world is there such reasoning!

Han Jingting made her stance clear, "It’s true that Chen Xuan received favors from our family, but we can’t always be bringing up the past to make demands! Whoever did the deed should bear the consequences!"

The look on Ding Lijuan’s face turned ugly instantly, "In the end, what you want is for Xiao Liang to go to jail, right?"

"Xiao Liang is your cousin after all. You two grew up together when you were kids. Yet now, you’re forcing him to go to prison. Han Jingting, how can your heart be so cruel!"

"Don’t tell me, in your heart, he’s not even as important as that good-for-nothing Chen Xuan!"

Han Jingting, feeling helpless, said, "Mom, it’s not about who’s more important and who’s not, it’s about principles!"

Ding Lijuan waved her hand dismissively and impatiently said, "Spare me that talk! The decision is made. Your disagreement is useless. I’m going to call that good-for-nothing right now!"

"Mom, how can you do this!" Han Jingting was so angry she couldn’t take it.

She wanted to step forward to stop her, but Ding Liang blocked her with a hand.

"Sis, do you really have the heart to see me go to jail?" Ding Liang said with a face full of grievance.

Han Jingting wished she could slap away the hypocritical mask from his face.

Meanwhile, Ding Lijuan had already dialed Chen Xuan’s number.

The call connected quickly.

"Hello?" came Chen Xuan’s calm voice from the other end.

"Is that Chen Xuan? Xiao Yu’s been hit by a car, it’s very serious. You’d better come home right away!" In order to trick Chen Xuan into coming, Ding Lijuan blatantly made it up.

On the other end of the phone, Chen Xuan’s heart jumped upon hearing the news.

"Okay, I’ll be right there!"

After hanging up the phone, Ding Lijuan’s face was full of smugness, "What an idiot!"

Han Jingting was furious.

To lie and deceive Chen Xuan by using Xiao Yu’s health was just outrageous!

Twenty minutes later, Chen Xuan arrived upstairs, sweating profusely.

"Where’s Xiao Yu? How is she, is she alright?" Chen Xuan asked anxiously as he pushed open the door.

He had rushed over as fast as he could after hearing the news, even running through a dozen red lights on the way.

Seeing Chen Xuan looking like this, Ding Lijuan snorted coldly, "Drop it, Xiao Yu is fine. I lied to you."

"What?"

Chen Xuan was furious, to be tricked with something like this, his mother-in-law must have lost her mind!
