The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife-Chapter 577 - : As if Only the Skeleton Remains_1

Chapter 577: Chapter 577: As if Only the Skeleton Remains_1

Because he genuinely didn’t want to have anything more to do with Qiao Ning!

He had spent many years hating her, all to forget her!

So, he wouldn’t meddle in her affairs. He just needed to bear it a little longer, wait a bit longer. He believed that very soon, Qiao Ning would completely disappear from his world.

Disappear without a trace…

Every time Chai Xiyang thought of this, he forced himself not to think about anything else. He solely focused on his work.

But after a while of working, his mobile phone suddenly rang. The call was from his father.

“Xiyang, please find a way to help Qiao Ning. That child is pitiful, and I also believe that she is innocent. We can’t just let her be condemned,” Chai Xiyang’s father said with a sigh on the other end of the call.

Chai Xiyang’s tone was cold, “Father, haven’t you already tried many ways? The Dongfang Family is also helping. Despite all of you helping, it is still no use. What else can I do?”

“I know, but I just wanted to ask if you have any good solutions. Even if we can’t get Qiang Ning acquitted, at least she shouldn’t be sentenced to death.”

“There’s no other way unless the Zhang Family drops the charges!”

“Get them to drop the charges? How could that be possible… You have no idea, Zhang Minwei made a harsh statement, saying he’s willing to do everything it takes to make Qiao Ning pay with her life!”

Chai Xiyang lowered his eyes slightly, “Then there’s nothing we can do…”

“You know a lot of people; is there really no solution?”

“None. Is there anything else you need? If not, I’m hanging up.” Without waiting for his father’s response, Chai Xiyang promptly hung up the call.

He left his phone aside and went back to work.

He worked for a long time, forgetting to eat. The chicken soup made by the nanny remained untouched…

**********************

Qiao Ning’s case has a significant impact in C City due to Hai Xiaotang’s help.

However, even with societal attention, the judge did not show leniency to her.

The Zhang Family holds a significant status and reputation.

The death of Zhang Yingying is not an ordinary case and is also under close scrutiny by everyone.

Both parties were equally matched, which means everything must proceed according to the law, leading to a fair and just verdict.

Still, Hai Xiaotang successfully filed an appeal and was now waiting for the court to reconvene.

Before the court reconvening, Hai Xiaotang visited Qiao Ning in jail.

Only a few days had passed, and Qiao Ning had lost a lot of weight. She looked as if only her skeleton was left.

Wearing a ash-gray prison uniform, her once clear and innocent eyes had lost their shine, becoming hollow and numb, giving off a feeling of a walking corpse.

Seeing her like this, Hai Xiaotang felt heartbroken and distressed!

“Qiao Ning, how did you turn into this state?” She asked, her voice filled with sorrow, “Haven’t you been eating well?”

Qiao Ning shook her head, spoke in a low, hoarse voice, “Xiaotang, I’m sorry for making you worry.”

“If you don’t want me to worry, you should start eating properly. Qiao Ning, I know you can’t eat, but it’s not time to be completely desperate, you can’t just give up like that!” Hai Xiaotang sounded emotional, desperately trying to give her some hope and strength.

“Qiao Ning, I’ve been trying to find a way to help you. I’ve appealed your case, and the court will reconvene soon. Until the dust settles, you must not give up on yourself. Do you understand?!”

Listening to her words, Qiao Ning felt both touched and in agony, wronged…

She turned her head away, no longer able to hold back her tears, and began sobbing.
