âBut this lifetime, I have no chance to repay you, Iâm sorryâ¦â
âQiao Ning, I will keep trying, I wonât give up!â said Hai Xiaotang firmly.
âNo need, Xiaotang, itâs uselessâ¦â Qiao Ning said, shaking her head in pain, âDonât sacrifice anything more for me, itâs not worth it, really.â
Hai Xiaotang shook her head, âI wonât give up, Qiao Ning, you shouldnât give up either!â
Qiao Ning looked away, on the verge of breaking down in tears.
Iâm sorry, Xiaotang, Iâm afraid I canât hold on any longerâ¦
Iâm so tired, so much pain, so much sadnessâ¦
I really donât want to go on.
So let it be, maybe I should have never existed in this world, maybe I really should die.
The police car quickly took Qiao Ning away, disappearing into the distance.
Someone from the Zhang Family cheered maliciously, âThat murderer, it would have been too easy letting her die! If she were in our hands, she would suffer a gruesome deathâ¦â
âShut up!â Hai Xiaotang turned and glared at them angrily, âQiao Ning did not commit any murder. She has been wronged!â
âMadam Dongfang, donât think because of your high status, you can cover up for a murderer! She killed someone, she deserves death!â
âQiao Ning did not kill anyone, but you are all trying to kill her! The truth will be revealed one day and if Qiao Ning is deceased by then, you would all be considered murderers!â
âShe is the murderer, only you believe she isnât⦠â
âYes, only I believe in her!â Hai Xiaotang said firmly, also looking at Chai Xiyang, who was walking toward them. Her words were not only for the people of Zhang Family but also for him.
But Chai Xiyang just walked past her without responding.
Hai Xiaotang scoffed, and then stormed off too.
She felt that she would never come to like this man Chai Xiyang in this lifetime.
She no longer hoped for his help in exonerating Qiao Ning, she would figure something out by herself!
But what could she doâ¦
She had already exhausted all options, except for finding evidence, there would never be a possibility of overturning the verdict.
But if the evidence could be found, it would have been found long agoâ¦so is Qiao Ning really just going to die this way?
â¦
Hai Xiaotang had been running around recently because of Qiao Ningâs situation, probably because she was too tired.@@novelbin@@
She returned to Dongfang Mansion and almost fainted as soon as she entered the living room!
âMiss, are you okay?!â Mrs. Zhang quickly helped her stabilise and even He Meilian was taken aback.
She also helped stabilize her, kindly asking: âXiaotang, are you alright?â
Hai Xiaotang shook her head, âIâm okayâ¦â
However, she looked so pale that He Meilian didnât feel reassured. She helped her sit down and immediately arranged for the family doctor to check on her.
Hai Xiaotang thought they were overreacting and embarrassingly said, âMom, Iâm really okay, probably just a bit tired.â
She was indeed very busy recently, but He Meilian, still worried, said: âLet the doctor examine you, itâs best if thereâs nothing wrong.â
âAlrightâ¦â Hai Xiaotang didnât want to be ungrateful for her concern, so she cooperated with the doctorâs examination.
The family doctor conducted some simple checks, then asked, âMadam, have you been losing your appetite lately, and feeling easily tired?â
Hai Xiaotang nodded: âYes, Iâve been feeling a little lackluster.â
âHave you had your period recently?â The doctor further inquired.
Upon hearing this, Hai Xiaotang and the rest froze.
He Meilian was experienced and quickly catched on, she asked excitedly: âDoes this mean Xiaotang is pregnant?!â
