Chapter 3377: Sister Nian: I’m Alright

Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhou Zheng’s second verdict was soon out.

It was still 20 years and three months, upholding the original sentence.

On the day the verdict was out, Madam Zhou and the international lawyer that the Zhou family had spent a lot of money on had ugly expressions on their faces.

An application for a final judgment was filed.

Usually, as long as a case passed the final judgment, it was practically settled. If nothing went wrong, the verdict wouldn’t be changed.

The weather in Beijing in mid-September was bad.

It had rained through the night. When they came out of the court in the morning, the sky outside was still so gloomy that it looked like it was going to rain, as cold winds blew.

Qiao Nian left the court with Qin Si and the others after the trial ended. She was walking down the stairs when a voice stopped her.

“Stop right there!”

Qiao Nian slowly stopped and turned around to see Madam Zhou, who had broken free from the lawyer’s hold and was walking towards her with a dark expression.

“F*ck, what does she want?” Qin Si cursed before saying to the girl, “Sister Qiao, leave with Master Wang first. I’ll stop this crazy woman.”

As he spoke, he turned to look at the arrogant man beside him and did not forget to urge him. “Master Wang, take Sister Qiao away first.”

Many reporters gathered outside the court, all waiting for the second verdict to come out.

Although the reporters didn’t dare to block them, they set up their cameras and live streams a few steps away and dutifully captured the news.

Zhou Zheng’s identity was special, and this case involved a master like Master Cheng. It wasn’t strange for people to pay attention to him.

However, the reporters were more obedient than the netizens.

They knew the license plates of the cars parked outside the court today were not ordinary. Only a few people in Beijing could use number plates with repeated or running numbers. They could count them with one hand. No matter which one it was, they weren’t people they could afford to offend.

Moreover, they had vaguely received the news before that the Ye family was behind this case.

Anyone with half a brain wouldn’t bump into them. The reporters knew the Ye family’s habits, so they tactfully took photos from afar.

They knew very well what to report and what not to report.

No one wanted to make trouble for themselves.

Qin Si also knew that with Ye Wangchuan around, the reporters below did not dare to write nonsense. However, Qiao Nian was famous online, after all.

He was still afraid that some stupid reporters would take photos of her being pestered at the court’s entrance. Most importantly, he was afraid that Madam Zhou would go crazy and say something she should not say, such as the reclusive families…

Ye Wangchuan signaled the girl with his eyes.

Qiao Nian didn’t move. She only tugged at her baseball cap with her fair hand, looking lazy. “Let’s see what she wants to do.”

“You want to run? Not so easy!” Madam Zhou walked very quickly in her anger. In a few steps, she was already in front of them, blocking the way of Qiao Nian and the rest.

She seemed to have aged a few years overnight. There was a layer of black aura lingering between her brows. The dark purple under her eyes was heavy, and her lips were dry and cracked.

If not for her bossy expression, it would have been very difficult to associate her with her high-spirited appearance in Rao City.

“Speak.”

Madam Zhou glared at her. “Qiao Nian, are you very smug?”

The girl seemed to know how to anger people to death. She let out a lazy “Ah” and her clear eyes met Madam Zhou’s.

Then, Madam Zhou heard an angry voice.

“… I’m alright!”

—— ‘Are you very smug?’

——’I’m alright.’
