Rebirth: She Became a Beautiful and Cool Bigshot

Let's put aside the matter of impersonation, just the crime of occupying a large amount of other people's property alone could land someone in prison for at least three years.

Moreover, after Chu Lian's death, the heir to that house was Chu Lian's stepfather, so what Lee Mi did was considered fraud.

Originally, if Chu Lian's stepfather had not been insistent on suing her and was willing to forgive her, she wouldn't have had to go to prison, but he now hated her deeply.

Not only had Chu Lian tricked the house away from him, leaving him homeless for a long time, but he also felt that if it weren't for her meddling that day, Chu Lian's "accidental fall to death" would have been the outcome, and he wouldn't have had to go to prison.

Forgiveness was impossible, and in the end, Lee Mi was sentenced to four years.

…

Lee Mi had rented the small suburban earthen building using Chu Lian's name.

The letter she wrote to Muchuan, since the landlord didn't know that "Lee Mi" was also her, could not be delivered by the postman and was directly returned to Muchuan's private residence in Imperial.

Muchuan rarely lived there, but he had servants to manage the household.

After receiving the letter, a servant immediately called him, informing him that Lee Mi had sent him a registered letter.

Neither the servants nor Muchuan knew about Lee Mi being in prison, and upon hearing the news, Muchuan asked the servant to forward the letter to Hai City.

Being registered mail, it arrived within a few days.

Muchuan was shocked after reading the letter and jumped up.

He still didn't know about Lee Mi recently impersonating Chu Lian in Imperial and, after giving it some thought, he made a phone call to Han Zheng.

Han Zheng now had a particular dislike for Muchuan.

He considered both him and Lee Mi to be ingrates.

Otherwise, they would not have hit it off so well in the first place.

Nevertheless, he was his nephew after all, and for the sake of appearances, Han Zheng answered the call dispassionately.

He didn't expect Muchuan to inquire about Lee Mi, which somewhat relieved him.

He wasn't afraid of Muchuan inquiring about Lee Mi; what worried him was any other potential trouble.

The first thing Muchuan asked Han Zheng was whether he knew about Lee Mi's whereabouts, "Second Uncle, do you have any news about Lee Mi? I haven't seen her in a long time, and even though we've broken up, I'm very concerned about her safety."

Han Zheng sighed deeply and said gloomily, "She's in prison. For fraud and for occupying other people's property."

Muchuan was quite taken aback, "In prison? Fraud? Occupying other people's property? When did this happen?"

It must have been recent, according to the date on the letter, it couldn't have been too long.

"About ten days ago she was arrested, just recently sentenced, a four-year term to be carried out immediately."

Muchuan, "…"

He swallowed hard, still full of disbelief in his tone, "Could it be a misunderstanding? She isn't short of money, so why would she commit fraud? Could she have been framed?"

Although Lee Mi wasn't exactly a good person, she was smart, and Muchuan felt that she wouldn't do something so foolish.

Han Zheng felt helpless, "I don't know what got into her, but the fact remains that she not only defrauded and occupied someone's money but also underwent plastic surgery to impersonate a poor child named Chu Lian. Ah, it's a complicated affair. I suggest you read the newspapers or go ask her yourself if you want to know more."

Muchuan agreed, "I understand, I'll head over immediately."

Han Zheng raised an eyebrow: He didn't expect Muchuan to still have feelings for Lee Mi.

Han Zheng had completely misunderstood.

Muchuan wanted to see Lee Mi to ask about more details regarding the space.

Otherwise, it wouldn't matter if Lee Mi was just in prison or even if she had died, he wouldn't have gone to see her.

Muchuan really did rush over at the earliest opportunity.

Upon arriving at Imperial Capital Railway Station, he immediately bought many local newspapers, particularly the evening editions.

After getting a preliminary understanding of Lee Mi going to prison, he immediately went to the prison to request a meeting with Lee Mi.

Unfortunately, it was not a visiting day, so he could only wait six days.

…

Six days isn't too short, but it isn't too long either; on that day, Muchuan truly met with Lee Mi.

The first thing he asked anxiously was, "Is what you wrote in your letter about that matter true?"
