Xia Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, inwardly cursing a thousand dogs.
At this moment, he finally understood what kind of scumbag he had chosen to abandon his real girlfriend.
After thinking it through, he felt a wave of nausea. If he could turn back time, he wouldn't want to know this woman. No, he wouldn't want to know either of them. He would rather study hard and stay single for life.
Xia Mingyuan did not choose to appeal. He was completely disheartened and seemed to have lost all interest in life for a moment.
Linghu Lan glanced silently at the man she used to revolve around all day. In that instant, it was as if she saw her naive self across time. She was so foolish and simple-minded!
The court hearing has ended.
Linghu Lan turned and walked out.
She felt neither joy nor sorrow, only deep desolation. She had once thought she could offer her back, but she never imagined that she would only make it easier for someone to shoot her in the back.
Tang Xinyou was led away, her mind in a daze, and she didn't even have time to glance at Linghu Lan. She was suddenly filled with regret. If she had spoken nicely and sincerely apologized to Linghu Lan on the day she asked her out, would everything have turned out so badly?
However, no one can answer her question anymore.
There are no "what ifs" in this world. At the time, I knew there would only be an outcome, but I only understood it later.
You must reap what you sow.
...
The verdicts of Tang Xinyou and Xia Mingyuan were quickly reported by the media and received widespread praise online, which was very gratifying.
The police's official Weibo account was also filled with praise.
The reason why Tang Xinyou's incident has caused such a stir is primarily because she challenged the basic values and morals of the entire society, reaching a point where she has aroused public outrage, which is why there is such a chorus of calls for her to be killed.
Linghu Lan no longer paid much attention to Tang Xinyou's subsequent announcement of her intention to appeal.
At most, Tang Xinyou's appeal could only change her sentence and the amount of compensation, delaying things for a while. But the nature of this matter has already been determined and cannot be changed. Moreover, even if Tang Xinyou is released from prison in the future, her life will likely be drastically changed because of this incident.
really.
Not long after, Tang Xinyou's appeal was approved. The Intermediate Court conducted a second trial, and the results were not significantly different. However, just as Tang Xinyou had wished, the compensation amount was reduced from 500,000 to 400,000, while Xia Mingyuan's compensation amount was increased to 300,000.
This made Xia Mingyuan want to vomit blood.
Tang Xinyou lost 100,000 yuan in compensation, but still chose to continue the appeal. She didn't want to go to jail and still held onto a sliver of hope that someone could overturn her case. Linghu Lan knew this perfectly well, but she wasn't in a hurry and just quietly focused on recuperating.
After some time, the High Court also issued its verdict, finding that the facts reviewed in the second instance were unclear. In this case of failing to rescue someone in distress, Tang Xinyou was the main person responsible and should bear the main responsibility. Therefore, the original judgment of the first instance was upheld.
When Linghu Lan heard the news, she spat out a mouthful of tea.
Should the original verdict be upheld?
Tang Xinyou must be internally vomiting blood upon hearing this news, right? She could have saved 100,000 yuan, but now the original judgment has been upheld, and she has to pay another 500,000 yuan. The expression on her face must be incredibly interesting, but unfortunately, she can't see it.
