DEFROSTING THE COLD YOUNG MASTER

Chapter 827: Chapter 831: The Child

Ye Xingbei saw that he was not talking and reached out herself to take the documents from his hand.

The documents contained introductions to some families.

The names, ages, personalities, occupations, and family compositions of both spouses were particularly detailed.

“What is this?” Ye Xingbei looked at Gu Junzhu curiously, “Xiao Chi just mentioned adopting a child, which child?”

Gu Junzhu did not want to lie.

He reached out to wrap his arms around Ye Xingbei’s shoulders, explaining, “That child’s name is Lin Songquan, he is the son of the woman who killed Fang Mingzhu. His father was domestically violent for a long time; his mother killed his father and grandmother. There are hardly any close relatives left on his maternal side, and nobody on his paternal side is willing to adopt him. I can only help him find a good family.”

Ye Xingbei instantly understood why Gu Junzhu looked somewhat hesitant to speak.

Was he afraid she would think him heartless?

Having interacted with her for so long, he knew very well what kind of person she was.

She upheld justice.

She hoped her hands were clean and her conduct above reproach.

She wanted to live without shame before heaven and earth, forever do right by her conscience, and never commit any evil acts.

Fang Mingzhu deserved to die, yet she had exploited a loophole in the law.

If judged by the law, Fang Mingzhu would not even have to go to prison; she would be released as innocent.

Thus, Gu Junzhu fought fire with fire.

Fang Mingzhu complained to Guo Mu, leading to Guo Mu killing Qiao Yi.

Using the same method, Gu Junzhu had Fang Mingzhu killed by that female prisoner.

Although Fang Mingzhu deserved to die.

Although the law also could not convict Gu Junzhu guilty.

Yet, after all, the method used was not exactly honorable.

Therefore, before explaining to her, Gu Junzhu had some reservations.

Thinking of this, she smiled.

She grabbed Gu Junzhu’s hand, raised her eyebrows, and looked at him, “Are you afraid I would accuse you, thinking you did something wrong?”

Gu Junzhu chuckled and did not reply, tacitly agreeing.

“It’s okay, I won’t,” Ye Xingbei tightened his grip on his hand, looking into his eyes, “I always wanted to be a good person, but I am not old-fashioned. I remember someone saying, what good is it to remain merely kind-hearted if the virtuous are not rewarded, and those who commit evil are not punished accordingly? Besides, according to Fang Mingzhu’s logic, you didn’t do anything wrong, did you? It was that woman who was willing to trade her life for a secure future for her son… Her life was already short; she will be grateful to you.”

“Hmm,” Gu Junzhu nodded, flipping through the documents in his hands, “I am so eager to find a family for that child quickly, just so that I can settle his life before his mother is executed, allowing her to pass away peacefully.”

He paused for a moment, and sighed silently: “She was a pitiful woman; it’s a pity she lost her reason when committing murder, killing her mother-in-law too, otherwise we could find a good lawyer to save her life.”

Ye Xingbei felt somewhat uncomfortable inside, not knowing what to say.

She had seen more than once news about women who, after being long-term victims of domestic violence, accumulated enough hatred to kill the men who had abused them.

This woman was neither the first nor would she be the last.

She felt insignificant; she could only sympathize and regret for those pitiful women when she saw the news.

Other than that, there was nothing she could do.

Sensing her sorrowful mood, Gu Junzhu gently patted her comfortingly: “Come, help me choose too, see which family seems better.”
