Knowing she couldn't get anywhere with Chu Jiangyi, Sun Qing had no choice but to resort to her trump card.

She started faking illness in an attempt to escape the police station.

She wanted to have an open and honest talk with Xi Ran. She had truly repented and hoped that Xi Ran would let her go this time.

But after making several calls, she was always answered by Chu Jiangyi, and she was filled with despair.

This is her last chance; if she doesn't seize it, she'll have to go to jail.

Sun Qing lied that she had a stomachache, and the police took her to the hospital. She sneaked into the women's restroom, and as she was escaping, Chu Jiang appeared before her, looking at her with a mocking gaze.

Sun Qing looked at the person in front of her in horror, "What are you doing here?"

"You don't need to worry about that. I advise you to just go to jail and stop making those pointless struggles. It's all meaningless. I won't let you get even a step closer to Xi Ran. You've done something stupid once, that's enough. Do you think you'll have a second chance to get close to Xi Ran?"

Sun Qing stared blankly at Chu Jiangyi, her face full of disbelief. How did he know that she wanted to escape and also wanted to see Xi Ran?

Only she knows about this.

She wanted to beg Xi Ran to let her go.

"Stop looking at me with that surprised expression. My lawyer has already told me everything you've done. Stop trying to pull any tricks..."

"Just as they were about to take you to jail, you suddenly had a stomachache. What a coincidence! You must be up to something. Just wait and see. This time I won't let you off the hook. You'll have to pay the price. People always have to pay the price for their actions."

Sun Qing struggled desperately while being restrained by the two policemen, but Chu Jiang ignored her.

"Chu Jiangyi! I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me one last time. I promise I will never appear in front of you and Xi Ran again, and I will stay far away from you."

Chu Jiang also spoke coldly, "Too late!"

"It was too late when you stepped on the gas and killed Xi Ran. You really wanted her dead. Now you have no face to ask her to forgive you. Go to jail and wait for reform. Don't think about anything else."

Sun Qing struggled, "No, no, no, Chu Jiangyi, please, let me go. Although I hit her, she wasn't seriously injured. She's still alive and well. Please let me go this time. I don't want to go to jail. Once I go to jail, I'll have nothing left... Please..."

“Even if you send me to jail, it will only be for a short time. Why don’t I offer compensation? I’ll cover all your expenses, including lost wages, nutrition costs, medical bills, and post-treatment nutrition costs, plus other compensation. I want to see Xi Ran in person and have a good talk with her.”

Chu Jiang also sneered, "Isn't this what you should give me?"

Sun Qing stared wide-eyed in disbelief, "What!"

Chu Jiangyi remained calm and unhurried, saying, "If you didn't hear me clearly, I'll repeat myself. Shouldn't you, the one who caused the accident, bear all these messy expenses?"

Sun Qing wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say. Chu Jiangyi was right; these were all responsibilities she should bear.

“It is indeed my responsibility, but… as long as Xi is willing to let me go, I am willing to offer up all my property.”

Chu Jiang sneered inwardly, "Does our Chu family need your meager sum?"

"No need for that. We'll take what we deserve and leave the rest. We're not greedy, unlike some people who are always wanting more after getting something. They're very greedy."

Sun Qing's face turned pale and then red as she was being talked into, unsure how to refute the rebuttal.

After marriage, Chen Yang treated her badly, and she unconsciously longed for the man who had pleased her for six years. People are always like this; they don't know how to cherish what they have when it's by their side, but once it belongs to someone else, they become extremely jealous.

The moment she stepped on the gas, she truly wanted to get rid of Xi Ran.

She thought she could easily win Chu Jiangyi back, but she never expected that Chu Jiangyi would fall deeply in love with Xi Ran in such a short time.

She had thought that Chu Jiangyi would continue to love her, for example, for another six years, but reality was different...

"That's not true, it really isn't true. The person I've always loved is you, but you were just a poor guy back then and couldn't give me the future I wanted. I know I was selfish and gave up our relationship for money."

“But my mother, stepfather, and brother have been pressuring me. I can only choose a rich boyfriend. Chen Yang is the best choice. I also have my difficulties. You don’t understand the fear I have from growing up in a blended family.”

Chu Jiang also sneered. He didn't come here today to hear about her past, and besides, he had no feelings for her whatsoever. She was shameless to say such things.

Hearing her say those words now makes me really uncomfortable.

"Stop, stop, stop. Don't say any more nonsense. Stop trying to disgust me. I already have a girlfriend. It's not appropriate for you to say these things to me. I won't be soft-hearted. Tell me how miserable your life is. Is it as miserable as Xi Ran's? Her family is even worse off than yours, but why does she live with dignity, while you almost committed murder? Have you really thought about the problems you have?"

Sun Qing's eyes widened suddenly. Thinking carefully about Xi Ran's family situation, she realized it was really not as good as hers. At least Xi Ran didn't have to earn her own living expenses and school fees, which was why she had exposed Xi Ran's family background back then.

She thought that the Chu family would give up on her, but unexpectedly, the Chu family cherished Xi Ran even more.

Xi Ran didn't become the target of public criticism, thus landing herself in jail.

They tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead!

That's me!

Unexpectedly, after Chu Jiangyi learned about Xi Ran's terrible family background, he resolutely stood by her side and even helped her deal with him, which was something she had not anticipated.

"No matter what, what's done is done. Please let me go this time. I'll change in the future. Please, just let me go this time. I really don't want to go to jail."
