Hai Xiaotang had to be away on business for a long time, so she couldnât be of any help.
Qiao Ning could only come by every day and hope that Chai Xiyang would suddenly agree to meet her.
After the successful operation, Qiao Ning was not particularly worried about Chai Xiyang and had a good two-day rest.
But as soon as her nerves relaxed, a different pressure came.
The court sent someone to inform her that she had to appear in court in a few days.
The trial for Zhang Yingyingâs case was about to begin!
The lawyer Dongfang Yu found for Qiao Ning said that all the evidence was against her and told her to brace herself, the result might not be good.
Worried, Qiao Ning wanted to meet with Hai Xiaotang to discuss a strategy.@@novelbin@@
But Hai Xiaotang also looked a bit down.
The two of them sat in the restaurant, staring silently at each otherâs dark circles under the eyes.
Qiao Ning asked with concern, âXiaotang, what happened? You look off.â
Hai Xiaotang simply said, âIâm okay, I just canât sleep.â
âIs it because you miss Mr. Dongfang?â
âUh-huhâ¦â Hai Xiaotang only nodded slightly and didnât say much.
She did miss Dongfang Yu.
After Dongfang Yu left, his phone had been turned off and couldnât be reached.
Before he left, he had said that this trip would be busy, chaotic, and tough. To avoid hearing her voice and being disturbed, he would turn off his phone.
Because he was afraid that hearing her voice would make him want to come back at any time.
But they would emailâ¦
Whatâs the point of emailing, though? She wanted to talk to him, but she couldnât disturb himâ¦
In any case, ever since Dongfang Yu left, each day felt like a year to her. She couldnât sleep at night. If not for the sound of his leftover singing, she might have had even more trouble sleeping.
But compared to the issue Qiao Ning was facing, Hai Xiaotangâs wasnât a big deal.
âQiao Ning, donât be too worried about your case. Worrying wonât help. The lawyer that Dongfang Yu found will do his best to help you,â Hai Xiaotang comforted her.
Qiao Ning nodded, âI know, I know you guys will try your best to help me. But Xiaotang, I donât know why, Iâm inexplicably scared⦠What if Iâm convicted?â
âThat wonât happen! Even if it does, weâll keep appealing. Youâre innocent, the truth will eventually come out.â
Qiao Ning smiled bitterly, âXiaotang, you donât understand, all the evidence is against me right now. The Zhang family doesnât even want to give me a chance, they are convinced that I killed Zhang Yingying. They wonât let me off the hook.â
Hai Xiaotang quickly reassured her, âQiao Ning, donât be scared. They wouldnât dare to meddle, and what they do wonât matter. Everything is under the rule of law, we are keeping an eye on them, they canât do a thing secretly.â
âI know, but⦠letâs not talk about this for now, worrying now wonât help, weâll talk about it when the court happens.â Qiao Ning gave an optimistic smile, still hoping in her heart.
Because she didnât actually kill anyone, she didnât have anything to be scared about.
However, doubt still lingered in her heart.
On the day of the trial, as expected, all the evidence was against Qiao Ning.
Qiao Ningâs side did not have any evidence to prove her innocence, so it was not looking good for her.
Actually, Qiao Ning had anticipated this outcome.
On the day Zhang Yingying died, she indeed did argue with her, and the time of death was right after she left.
