She had no evidence to prove her innocence, yet it was not implausible that Zhang Yingying committed suicide out of despair.
Because of this uncertainty, the first trial did not immediately convict Qiao Ning.
The second trial was scheduled for the third day.
In other words, Qiao Ning had less than two days left to prepare.
If she couldnât find any evidence to prove her innocence, she would likely be sentencedâ¦@@novelbin@@
Since she had the backing of the Dongfang Family.
Qiao Ning was not detained, but her intuition strongly told her sheâd end up in jail.
No one could prove her innocence, and there was a wealth of evidence suggesting sheâd committed murder.
Even the assumption that Zhang Yingying took her own life was unconvincing.
After breaking off her engagement with Su Zigao, she was more angry than sad, she had even planned to go abroad and have a good time to blow off steam.
She had even bought her plane ticket, but she died before she could departâ¦
So no one believed she would take her own life, which made people believe that it was Qiao Ning who pushed her into the lake and let her drown.
No matter how Qiao Ning defended herself, it was to no availâ¦
The law relies on evidence, it doesnât take pity.
Once Qiao Ning realized this, she suddenly felt hopeless. She didnât understand how sheâd ended up in such a catastrophe.
Going to jail might not even be the worst outcome⦠she might even receive the death penalty.
A life for a lifeâ¦
What if she really were to die?
Qiao Ning was suddenly very scared, very frightened. For some reason, she wanted to see Chai Xiyang. This might be her last chance to meet him as an innocent person.
Maybe after this, she would be staggering into prison, never getting a chance to see him againâ¦
Qiao Ning dashed to the hospital, but Chai Xiyang still refused to see anyone.
âBig brother, itâs me, Qiao Ning. I have something to say to you, let me see you!â Qiao Ning cried out sorrowfully outside the door. She tried to push her way in, but the bodyguards would not let her.
âMiss Qiao, the young master said he doesnât want to see anyone, youâd better leave!â
âI wonât leave, big brother, why wonât you see me? I really wonât have a chance to see you again, please let me see youâ¦â Qiao Ning broke down crying, the pain and stress of this period was too much to bear.
Every time she felt upset, she would cry uncontrollably.
Perhaps her cries were too anguished, as finally, the door of the ward creaked openâ¦
As she heard the door open, Qiao Ning, who was squatting on the floor, suddenly stopped crying and raised her head anxiously.
Then she was shocked to a halt!
Because the one who opened the door wasnât Chai Xiyang, but Lin Xinxinâ¦
Lin Xinxin looked down at her from her superior position saying indifferently, âMiss Qiao, Xiyang is letting you in. Go in.â
After saying that, she walked away, leaving Qiao Ning stunned.
Wasnât Chai Xiyang not seeing anyone?
For a moment, Qiao Ning seemed to understand something, but she was not sureâ¦
Looking at the fully opened door, she got up and walked in.
Chai Xiyang was standing by the window, his back to her, dressed in a simple grey sweater with a hat on. The pain of sickness had reduced him to a shadow of his former self.
The large sweater looked somewhat hollow on him.
His posture was still upright though, showing his recovery had gone wellâ¦
This was the first time Qiao Ning had seen him after his surgery.
âBig brotherâ¦â Qiao Ning took a few steps closer, then stopped, staring at his back and softly calling him. Her voice was filled with concern, longing, and a sense of wrong and sorrow.
Her eyes were also filled with complex emotionsâ¦
However, when Chai Xiyang slowly turned around, the look in his eyes was icy and indifferent.
