"I'm at my classmate's house. Don't worry. Tell me a place. I'll go there myself." Mi Xiaoqiao said quickly.

"OK, I'll wait for you at the golden age restaurant." Xu Jie said cheerfully without insisting.

"OK, see you later," said Mi Xiaoqiao and hung up the phone.

Out of Ye Feifei's room, ye Yangfan is sitting in the living room watching TV.

Seeing Mi Xiaoqiao coming out, a bright smile appeared on his face: "have you rested? I was just going to call you."

"Sleep well, brother ye, I'm going out." Mi Xiaoqiao also gave him a bright smile, and then said, "tell my uncle and aunt that I won't eat at home tonight. Tell Feifei that I'll come back from dinner."

"Go out? Xiao Qiao, you just got over your cold. Where are you going?" Ye Yangfan looked at her suspiciously and frowned gently.

"Just now, prosecutor Xu of the provincial people's Procuratorate called and said that my mother has come back. I want to ask about the specific situation." Mi Xiaoqiao said frankly.

"Are you going to see the prosecutor now? Have dinner with him?" it is said that it has something to do with her mother. Of course, ye Yangfan is also very concerned.

"Yes, he said to talk about the meeting in detail. We agreed to meet at the golden age restaurant." Mi Xiaoqiao nodded.

"Oh, just the two of you?" Ye Yangfan asked, inexplicably having a bad taste in his heart.

In the golden age, it is a elegant western restaurant. Many couples like to eat and date there. The prosecutor talked to Little Joe about things. Where is it bad to go? Why do you have to choose such a place?

"Maybe, I don't know if there is anyone else." Mi Xiaoqiao answered honestly.

"Xiao Qiao, do you want me to go with you?" Ye Yangfan thought and said.

"No, brother ye, I'll be back soon." Mi Xiaoqiao smiled.

"Then you come back early. Remember to call me if you have something." Ye Yangfan was not good to say more, so he had to explain.

"Well, I'll come back after I ask." Mi Xiaoqiao smiled sweetly at him, changed his sandals and went out.

The golden age restaurant is located in a busy street not far from ye Feifei's house.

Mi Xiaoqiao walked past. When she arrived, she saw Xu Jie waiting for her under the shade in front of the restaurant.

He had changed his work uniform and looked steady and natural in a light gray short sleeved shirt. Mi Xiaoqiao suddenly found that Xu Jie was also very handsome.

Seeing Mi Xiaoqiao coming, Xu Jie came forward and smiled: "it's very fast."

"Hehe, my classmate's house is near here." Mi Xiaoqiao said with a smile.

They went to the golden age together, but when they were ready to enter the door, it happened that several very eye-catching people came across.

They also came to eat in the golden age, two men and two women, with outstanding style. One of them is Meng Feifan, whom Mi Xiaoqiao doesn't want to meet.

Another man is also very eye-catching. Mi Xiaoqiao doesn't know him. In fact, he is Meng Feifan's cousin and friend Fang Rui.

And the two women dressed brightly, MI Xiaoqiao knows all about them.

One is that she met once in the hospital. Meng Fanfan said it was his cousin's girl. The other, however, was quite unexpected. It was Xiao Bingjie.

Meng Feifan also saw Mi Xiaoqiao and Xu Jie coming side by side. His black eyes sank without concealment, and his eyes crossed Mi Xiaoqiao's face coldly.

Mi Xiaoqiao looked away and pretended not to see them.

Xiao Bingjie shouted enthusiastically, "Mi Xiaoqiao, have dinner with your friends?"

"Yes." Mi Xiaoqiao had to turn around and answer two words lightly and indifferently.

Fortunately, Meng Feifan did not pay attention to her anymore, but walked coldly by her and Xu Jie.

Xu Jie nodded politely to Xiao Bingjie and took Mi Xiaoqiao into the restaurant.

The waiter took them to a double seat near the window and sat down.

After ordering two ordinary packages at will, MI Xiaoqiao asked eagerly, "when did my mother come back?"

"I came back a few days ago. The investigation team of the procuratorate found her in Hong Kong," Xu Jie told her in a low voice.

"How is she... Now? When can I see her?" asked Mi Xiaoqiao again.

"Certainly not recently. Your mother's case is still under review and can't be visited until the judgment is made," Xu Jie said.

"Oh... How will my mother's case be judged? Is it serious? In your experience, how long will it be judged?" Mi Xiaoqiao bit his lip and asked the most worrying question.

Xu Jie's face became serious. He was silent for a while before he said, "Xiao Qiao, let me tell you the truth. Your mother's case is serious. According to our detailed investigation, she was involved in misappropriation, corruption and bribery. The amount reached more than 8 million. This amount is very large, and the final sentence will never be light."

"Ah?" Mi Xiaoqiao exclaimed in a low voice, and his face changed, like a white paper that suddenly lost all its colors: "how much will it be sentenced? Ten years? Twenty years? Or... More?"

"Xiao Qiao..." Xu Jie called her name soothingly. He didn't know what to say.

"Xu Jie, tell me, how many years will my mother be sentenced at most? That is, what is the worst situation?" Mi Xiaoqiao looked at him without blinking and asked stubbornly.

"According to the current situation, your mother may be sentenced to life or even... Death." Xu Jie didn't want to hide any more and told the cruel reality.

Little Jotun was numb, his lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

The waiter brought their steak, pasta, salad and drinks

Xu Jie sighed with pity and said softly, "eat first."

Mi Xiaoqiao lowered his head, picked up his knife and fork and mechanically cut the fresh and delicious steak in front of him, but his heart was blocked to death. These things she used to love to eat, now she feels difficult to swallow

After eating silently for a while, MI Xiaoqiao looked up and said, "there's really no way? Xu Jie, what can I do to save my mother? I can't watch my mother go to jail or die all my life."

"Xiao Qiao, there may be a way to make your mother give a light sentence, but it's not very easy." Xu Jie said after a moment of meditation.

"What can I do?" Mi Xiaoqiao's eyes suddenly lit up and said excitedly, "Xu Jie, tell me I'll try as long as there's a glimmer of hope."

"China's law stipulates that if you have a good attitude of pleading guilty and actively return the stolen money, you can be dealt with leniently." Xu Jie looked at the expectant girl and added: "in other words, as long as your mother confessed her crime and returned the money she embezzled in time, the court will consider a lenient sentence as appropriate."
