She cried bitterly, as desperate as a child abandoned by the world.
Seeing her like this, Hai Xiaotang also burst into tears.
No one understood Qiao Ningâs feelings at this moment better than herâ¦
In her previous life, she had also despaired and felt helpless, with not a single person extending a helping hand to her.
Therefore, in this lifetime, she had to help Qiao Ning.
Besides her, there was no one else who would help her.
Hai Xiaotang cried with Qiao Ning for a while and then comforted her before the visitation time ended.
Before parting, Hai Xiaotang found solace in Qiao Ningâs words: âXiaotang, I am truly grateful to you! You can rest assured, I will persevere till the end, I will not give up on myself!â
Hearing her say this, Hai Xiaotang was quite pleased.
As long as Qiao Ning didnât give up, that would be enough. At least it showed that she had not lost hope, that she wouldnât easily give up on herselfâ¦@@novelbin@@
She wouldnât end up like her, surrendering to despair to the point of suicide.
Upon leaving the prison, Hai Xiaotang found that the winter sun was somewhat blinding.
As she had been so sad earlier, she now felt somewhat listless. The matron accompanying her asked with concern, âMiss, are you alright? You donât seem to be doing well.â
Hai Xiaotang shook her head, leaning back into the car seat,âIâm fine, but seeing Qiao Ning so upset, I canât help but feel down too.â
The matron sighed, âItâs quite a pity about Miss Qiao. I wonder if she can be acquitted in the next trial.â
Hai Xiaotangâs eyes darkened further.
Acquitting Qiao Ning would be difficult, perhaps the next trial would yield the same resultsâ¦
By then, there would likely be no room for appeal.
But Qiao Ning was being wrongfully accused. To die like this, wouldnât that be too tragic?
Hai Xiaotang dared not think too much about it, so she could only return home to continue looking for a solutionâ¦
Meanwhile, Kong Minjuan was also trying to find a solution. After all, Qiao Ning was her daughter, she couldnât just sit by and watch her die.
But all the strategies that should have been considered had already been suggested by Lord Chai, and they couldnât find a way to save Qiao Ning.
Having no other option, Kong Minjuan decided to go to Chai Xiyang!
Due to his ill health, Chai Xiyang didnât often go to work and would generally work from home.
Kong Minjuan arrived at his apartment and rang the doorbell.
The maid opened the door and asked doubtfully, âMay I ask who you are? Who are you looking for?â
âIâm looking for Chai Xiyang. I am his fatherâs wife, in other words, Lady Chai!â Kong Minjuan arrogantly declared, pushing her way into the room. She saw Chai Xiyang emerging from his study.
Chai Xiyang had heard Kong Minjuanâs earlier claim. He looked at her with a cold and sharp gaze, his sarcasm tacit albeit harsh, âYou have no right to claim the title of Lady Chai, so donât flatter yourself! Also, my home is no place for dirty women. Get out of here within a second, or donât blame me for calling security!â
Kong Minjuanâs face twisted at his insult.
She forced a laugh, âChai Xiyang, even if you donât recognize me as your mother, I am still your elder. Is this the way you speak to your elders?!â
âMother?â Chai Xiyangâs eyes darkened as if he wanted to tear her apart, âKong Minjuan, get out of my house right now, or else donât think I wonât lay a hand on you!â
Kong Minjuan not only didnât leave, but also boldly sat down on the sofa and said defiantly: âChai Xiyang, I came to you for a matter. Otherwise, do you think I would want to see you?! Have your maid leave, unless you want others to hear our conversation!â
