Chapter 1590 - Justice Is Present In People’s Hearts
He was just a scumbag. Shen Luo’an knew that much of himself. He was a scumbag beyond redemption.
Ye Youyou had been so kind, yet he had destroyed her first marriage. If not for him, she would never have had such a blemish on her life record. If not for him, Guan Queye would never have even thought to do something so extreme.
First, she had jumped off the cliff to frame Ye Youyou. After many years of mental instability, she had committed suicide on her wedding day in order to pin this ridiculous and unjustifiable crime on the innocent Ye Youyou.
If he hadn’t been such a scumbag, Shen Manting would be living happily at home. Without concern and worry, she would never have left. She would have found a better man to marry, even if it wasn’t Ou Ming. He would be exactly like Shen Manting had described: handsome, warm, understanding, and rich. For the rest of her life, she would have children and her own family. She would live happily ever after. Because of him, she had been forced into hiding, where no one could find her.
Someone like me deserves to be imprisoned.
Shen Luo’an gazed at Ye Youyou. The bitter smile on his face widened as he said, “I let you down, and I let Guan Queye down.”
As he spoke, his throat closed up. His vision started to blur. He looked down and said, “Just treat it as me paying my dues, Ye Youyou.”
Even if he was unable to bring himself to reconcile with it, Shen Luo’an could find no other way other than this to atone for the sins in his heart. This path was stupid but realistic. Only when a free man was suddenly chained did he finally understand what regret was.
“This is my choice, Youyou,” he said. “Don’t cry.”
Ye Youyou’s sobs grew even heavier. Wrapped in Li Jinnan’s embrace, she was on the verge of breaking down.
This was not how it should have turned out. This was not how it should have turned out for Shen Luo’an or her. Guan Queye was dead, but she had brought so much harm to those who were still living.
Li Jinnan quietly held her in his arms. He wiped the tears off her cheeks with his hands. He trained his eyes on Shen Luo’an. When he saw that Shen Luo’an’s eyes were wet too, the jumbled emotions in his heart unexpectedly intensified.
Shen Luo’an was still in love with Ye Youyou. A sudden panic and sense of crisis spread in Li Jinnan’s heart. His arm instinctively tightened around Ye Youyou.
At the same time, Ye Youyou raised her arms and returned the hug, giving Li Jinnan a sense of security. She still depended on him, even though she was shedding tears for another man.
In her heart of hearts, he was the only man she acknowledged, wasn’t he?
Li Jinnan looked down from his towering height at Shen Luo’an, feeling a little lucky. Perhaps he was indeed selfish and cold-blooded, but at that moment, he felt a sense of happiness. He was happy that Shen Luo’an still loved Ye Youyou. He was happy that Shen Luo’an wanted to atone for his sins. Otherwise, the one sitting inside would be Ye Youyou.

“I will get you out,” Ye Youyou stubbornly and resolutely declared. “I believe that justice is present in people’s hearts. Since you didn’t commit this crime, heaven will be fair to you!”
Shen Luo’an’s pain gave way to laughter when he heard her say that. Her tone sounded exactly like it used to when she forced him to drink her chicken soup years ago.
Looking at her, Shen Luo’an smiled and nodded his head. His eyes turned into tiny crescents as he replied, “OK.”

Guan Yanhong had never expected Shen Luo’an to suddenly jump out of nowhere. What was even more unexpected was the fact that it had barely been two days since he had planted the repeated offender, Lao Zhou, inside, and the police had already discovered her.
