Yu Anning frowned. Qi Wenyuan's friend had said the same thing. The best solution was to settle out of court, but the victim's parents were still angry and refused to see her. She could only pay bail.
Qian Manduo added, "My personal suggestion is to settle this privately. The bail amount is too huge. If your friend isn't extremely wealthy, she shouldn't do something so foolish as to go bankrupt. She should save that money for her retirement; it's a hundred times better than having such a good-for-nothing daughter."
Ye Qingqing's lips twitched again. How could Manduo, with his straightforward personality, say something that made her feel so relieved?
Yu Anning smiled bitterly. She knew the reasoning behind it, but she just couldn't bear to part with Li Qiqi. She would rather give up her family fortune than regret it in the future.
“My friend can’t bring himself to abandon her. After all, she’s his own flesh and blood. How can he just abandon her like that? Actually, we’re all acquaintances. You know Qi Wenyuan, right?” Ye Qingqing asked.
Qian Manduo raised an eyebrow. "I know him. He's my senior brother. Is your friend my senior brother? No, my senior brother only has a son, no daughter."
"She's not your senior's daughter, she's the daughter of your senior's current girlfriend."
"No wonder. It seems your friend must be very outstanding, otherwise my senior brother would definitely not be interested in him. Many beautiful female doctors and patients in the hospital have actively pursued my senior brother, but he doesn't even like them."
Yu Anning felt a warmth in her heart, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but turn up. It turned out that she wasn't the only one waiting.
"Yes, my friend is indeed very outstanding, and she and your senior brother were childhood sweethearts. They separated due to a misunderstanding and only recently reunited. Let's talk about their matter later. Right now, let's deal with that child's problem first. A private settlement is impossible. The victim's parents won't even show up, so there's no way to talk."
“I can help with this. My friend knows the victim’s parents. If you are sincere about settling out of court, she can mediate. However, she cannot guarantee that the other party will agree to a private settlement.”
"As long as you're willing to meet, that's great! Thank you so much! I'll treat you to dinner when I get back!" Ye Qingqing said happily.
"Don't mention it, it's nothing."
Qian Manduo's tone remained calm as always, but her heart was warm. Although they didn't keep in touch often, she would do her best to help her friends whenever they needed something.
Of course, she only considers one or two people as friends.
You don't need many true friends; one or two are enough.
Yu Anning was also very happy. She thought she had reached the end of her rope, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better. Fortunately, she came for a follow-up visit today. Fortunately, Lu Ziqun mentioned that there was a lot of money. She was even more grateful that Ye Qingqing had called to ask. If any of these steps had been missing, this surprise might not have happened.
Qian Manduo was extremely efficient, as was her friend. They arranged a meeting between Yu Anning and the victim's parents. In fact, according to Qian Manduo's friend, the victim herself knew who the real person who harmed her was. Li Qiqi was a scapegoat, but because Li Qiqi had also bullied the victim before, her parents were unwilling to let Li Qiqi go, and naturally, they were even less willing to let go of the real murderer.
However, this girl is too cunning and left no evidence, so we can't do anything to her for the time being. We can only target Li Qiqi instead.
"These young girls nowadays are really something. They're so ruthless at sixteen or seventeen. They're so precocious," Ye Qingqing remarked.
If she hadn't been given a second chance at life, she would still be silly even at sixteen or seventeen, or even twenty!
“Girls in the US develop around thirteen or fourteen and are more open-minded, but there aren’t many girls as ruthless as Qiqi. How could Qiqi have gotten involved with someone like that?” Qi Wenyuan couldn’t understand.
