Chapter 417 Kneeling to Force Forgiveness

His eyes were as cold as frost, devoid of any warmth.

It was as if they were just waiting for her to actually kneel down.

While Madam Xiang said she was going to kneel and even made a kneeling gesture, she didn't actually intend to kneel at all.

She is fifty-five years old this year.

Having lived a proud and dignified life, it was already a huge sacrifice for her to beg Fu Yu to spare her mother. There was no reason for an elder like her to kneel before a grandchild.

Even if you really have to kneel, you can't do it in front of so many people.

She wanted to use this to coerce Fu Yu into compromising with her.

But to her surprise, Fu Yu didn't respond at all, just staring at her coldly, as if he was really waiting for her to kneel down.

The onlookers watched this scene in silence.

If they hadn't heard Fu Yu's accusations, they might have actually sided with the old man and offered some words of advice.

But having heard it, they simply couldn't go against their conscience and persuade people to forgive.

They had no idea how utterly depraved this mother was to commit such a heinous act as murdering her own son with her lover.

One is waiting for the other to kneel down, and the other is waiting for the other to compromise.

No one made any further moves.

And just like that, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze.

As Madam Xiang watched Fu Yu remain unmoved, her expression gradually darkened, and a hint of resentment flashed deep in her eyes.

She never expected that Fu Yu's actions were actually a ploy to make her kneel down!
