Chapter 657: Chapter 657

But none of these mattered to her; just the thought of Ji Yunya’s future retribution filled her with excitement. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel(ꜰ)ire.net

Latter, Tian Tian seemed to forget her existence and stopped targeting her intentionally. It appeared that Guan Donghui had lost interest in her temporarily, which also lessened Tian Tian’s hostility towards her.

"What sins have I committed? How could my innocent daughter be caught up in a lawsuit out of the blue, let alone a murder charge? Bai Xiangxiang couldn’t possibly be a killer. This is definitely a miscarriage of justice. I will petition; I must exonerate her," Gu Chunrong cried out in anger.

Bai Lun had run to the police station several times for this and also spent money on connections, but the case involved a life, and after the police had collected all the evidence, they had transferred it to the court for trial. It was said that Bai Xiangxiang’s fingerprints were found on the body of the deceased, and her own testimony and witness statements were inconsistent. The body was found in the Bai family’s back lake, and all evidence pointed to Bai Xiangxiang. Overturning the case seemed impossible.

Now that she had been transferred to judicial authorities, he couldn’t even get a visit.

"What’s the use of crying? Will Xiangxiang be fine if you cry?" Bai Lun said impatiently.

"Let’s go to Mr. Pei. Mr. Pei is so powerful; he will definitely be able to save Xiangxiang," Gu Chunrong suddenly brightened up, as if grasping at a lifesaving straw.

"You’re still thinking about him? Don’t you know that the main culprit behind Xiangxiang’s misfortune is him? He provided the false testimony. It left Xiangxiang with no defense and cemented the charges against her. What do you want from him? Do you want Xiangxiang to suffer even more?"

Bai Lun had contacted many people to find out this information.

"How is that possible?" Struck a blow, Gu Chunrong protested, "Mr. Pei is so fond of our Xiangxiang, how could he harm her? This must be a misunderstanding."

"Don’t be naive. Do you think I haven’t sought out Pei Qinghan? I waited outside his house for three days, and I couldn’t even see his face. In the end, it was his servant who relayed four words to me: ’Got what she deserved.’"

"Pei Qinghan is ruthless and heartless. Even if you were dying in front of him, if he says he won’t save you, then he won’t." Bai Lun now regretted so badly that his guts turned green. How could he have been so deluded to think he could control someone like Pei Qinghan, who would harm others without batting an eye?

"Sniff... What should we do then? We can’t just watch Xiangxiang be sent to death. I can’t do it. My precious daughter, she hasn’t suffered a bit in her life...."

Thinking of something, Gu Chunrong suddenly said, "Let’s go find Ranran. Isn’t she going to marry the fourth master of the Ning Family? With Ranran’s involvement, the Ning Family will surely help us."

"When Ranran left home, you had already made your stance quite clear. What face do you have now to ask for help?"

"Bai Lun, what’s more important to you, your daughter or your pride?"

Bai Lun sighed helplessly, "There’s no other way. Let it be; how much is face worth anyway? Ranran has always been the most caring towards Xiangxiang. She wouldn’t stand by and watch her die."

Unfortunately, they couldn’t find Bai Ran at all now. She had changed all her mobile numbers and they didn’t know where she lived. Finally, they found out where Ning Qinglin worked and staked out the school every day until they finally saw him.

Ning Qinglin didn’t give them a warm welcome, but seeing how humble they were, he remembered that after all, they were Ranran’s big brother and sister-in-law. He led them to a café and called Bai Ran over.

"What’s up, I’m busy. I still have to go to alter the wedding arrangements...."

"Your big brother and sister-in-law want to see you."

"Tell them to get lost." Bai Ran hung up the phone directly.

Ning Qinglin smiled apologetically, and the hope in their eyes shattered instantly. Gu Chunrong said, "Could you please call her one more time? This time I will talk to her."

"I think before we parted last time, I made things very clear to Ranran. You might selectively forget, but we won’t." Ning Qinglin, considering what this couple had done to Ranran, wanted to leave them right away.

"Don’t come looking for me anymore. I don’t want to see you, and Ranran even less so." With that, he was about to stand up and leave.

Gu Chunrong fell to her knees with a "thump," attracting many pointing fingers, which immediately darkened Ning Qinglin’s expression: "Are you trying to threaten me?"

He knew what kind of ugly rumors would spread if people saw this.

"Your big brother and I, we both know we were wrong, please just give us another chance," the woman who once carried herself above everyone, now knelt on the ground begging.

Ning Qinglin sneered and walked away, "This move won’t work on me."
