“Anning, watch your tone. Qiqi is still just a suspect, not in jail, just under custody,” Li Jingshan called out, his eyes showing some displeasure.
They kept mentioning prison, as if Li Qiqi was already in jail. It was really offensive.
In the eyes of Li Jingshan, a former judicial officer, Li Qiqi can only be considered a criminal suspect. As long as she is not convicted by a judge, she is a suspect, not a criminal, and certainly not someone who should be imprisoned.
Yu Anning ignored him. She had given up on her daughter and no longer cared about saving face for the Li family. If even one member of the Li family were reasonable, they wouldn't have raised Li Qiqi to be such a wreck. Her daughter was ruined by the Li family.
“What’s the difference between this and being in jail? If I don’t take care of her, she’ll have to stay here for at least three or five years, maybe seven or eight. When she comes out, she’ll have no education, no skills, nothing. All she’ll have is a black history of being in jail. Nobody will even hire her to wash dishes in a restaurant. She doesn’t care about her own life anymore. What am I supposed to do? I’m just telling her the reality.”
Li Jingshan's face turned ugly. He sensed Yu Anning's disrespect towards him, and her attitude was completely different from before. However, he was smarter than Li Qiqi. Although he was annoyed, he did not show it. He just kept a gloomy face and did not say anything more.
After yelling, Yu Anning felt much better. She had been holding back a lot of anger, and now she could finally vent it.
She looked at Li Qiqi and said coldly, "I have said all I need to say. Whether you like it or not, and whether you will change your ways in the future, this is the last time I will help you. From now on, as you wish, you can fend for yourself!"
Li Qiqi's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Yu Anning in fear, but Yu Anning didn't look at her and turned away, leaving her only with her back to the camera. Li Qiqi became even more frightened.
Are we really not going to care about her anymore?
Li Qiqi thought Yu Anning would turn around, but Yu Anning didn't turn around until her figure disappeared. Li Jingshan did turn around and glance at her, but his utterly disappointed look was worse than if he hadn't looked at her at all.
She felt as if she had been abandoned by the world; no one cared about her anymore. Only then did Li Qiqi regret her actions and frantically cried out, "Grandpa...Mom..."
But no one answered her anymore.
The prison guards escorted her back to the prison, where all that awaited her were four cold walls, iron bars on the windows, and an uncertain tomorrow.
Yu Anning kept her word and spent the next few days busy with the lawsuit. Thanks to Qian Manyu's help, she met with the parents of the victim, Lilian, and persuaded them that they would not sue Li Qiqi again as long as the real culprit was found.
She then went to find the key figure, Paul. This guy was a seasoned veteran who kept quiet, only insisting that Li Qiqi had instigated it. Yu Anning found Paul's weakness: his only relative in the world, his sister. Under his sister's persuasion, Paul finally confessed to the real culprit.
It was all Catherine's doing.
Catherine was the girl who threw the birthday party that night, and she was also the matchmaker between Li Qiqi and Paul. In fact, Paul and Catherine had been having an affair for a long time. Catherine had many lovers, and Paul was just one of them. Moreover, Paul had more than one girlfriend, Catherine. They each had their own affairs.
Catherine was at odds with Lillian. She disliked well-behaved girls with good grades. Lillian, on the other hand, came from a good family, was beautiful, and had even better grades. She was the teacher's favorite and the object of desire for the boys. Catherine was envious and jealous because Lillian didn't have a good family background or good grades. The teachers were annoyed by her, and the boys only wanted to sleep with her.
So, Catherine wanted to destroy Lillian.
