The words ‘your grandmother’ came out smoothly and without any guilt.
At this moment, He Yujuan also understood that the situation was more important than her grievances. She couldn’t bring herself to be as imposing as before, even though she hated Qiao Nian to death. On the surface, she pretended that she did not have many years to live. “I’m sick. I’ve been sick for a long time. Cancer. The doctor said that I don’t have long to live.”
Qiao Nian turned to look at her.
He Yujuan had a prominent bone structure, to begin with, and her face was without flesh. She looked very mean.
Now, her mean-looking face was even more gloomy, mainly because it was sallow and she did not look well.
!!It was obvious from her appearance that she was ill. It was true that she was sick, but it was unknown if it was cancer.
“I only have 15 minutes.” Qiao Nian pursed her lips, her voice frivolous.
He Yujuan was not satisfied.
Shen Qiongzhi had seen Qiao Nian’s coldness a few times before. She was overjoyed upon seeing that she was willing to give in. She hurriedly nodded and said, “15 minutes is enough. 15 minutes is enough. There’s a cafe opposite. Let’s go there and drink some coffee while we talk.”
Qiao Nian looked at the time. She wanted to tell her to get to the point here.
However, she finally agreed when she saw the people coming and going at the school gate. She sent a message to Shen Qingqing and the others and followed He Yujuan to the cafe opposite the road.
“Two iced coffees, one…” Shen Qiongzhi ordered her own and looked at the girl sitting opposite her. She was not sure what she wanted to drink.
After a pause, she asked Qiao Nian, “Nian Nian, what do you want to drink?”
In the past, she did not have such an attitude. She had long known that Qiao Nian was not her biological daughter and would never treat her nicely.
She had always been condescending towards Qiao Nian.
Now, she was putting on a false front.
Qiao Nian no longer cared about these things. She looked at the waiter and said, “A glass of lemonade with ice. Thank you.”
“Okay.” The waiter wrote down what the three of them wanted to drink and went to the bar to prepare drinks.
…
Shen Qiongzhi found a seat by the window. The environment was quiet.
In the soothing music.
She looked at the girl sitting across from her and said with a complicated expression, “Chen Chen’s verdict is in. Three years. It’s deferred for a year before the sentence starts.”
Qiao Nian placed her hand on the table. She did not react upon hearing this. She continued to sit casually, not even moving her eyelashes.
Shen Qiongzhi frowned slightly and said slowly when she saw her reaction, “Chen Chen has been crying for the past few days. Her eyes are about to fall out from crying. Nian Nian, can you let her go?”
At this moment, He Yujuan continued, “That’s right. I’m already so old and don’t have many years left to live. You can at least do it after I die if you want to make a fuss. I don’t even have two years to live. Forget it and let her off this time. You were not that affected by what she did. Didn’t you still enroll in the school? It didn’t affect your studies, either.
“It’s different for Chen Chen. Because of this, she can’t study abroad, and Qing University won’t accept her. She can only find a school to study in. In the next few years of probation, she can’t go abroad either and can only stay in Beijing. She was just impulsive. You’ve already caused her to be unable to get into a university. Are you going to ruin her life?”
At this point, He Yujuan’s eyes turned red and she reached out to wipe her tears.
This time it wasn’t fake tears.
She really cried upon thinking about Qiao Chen’s outcome.
She knew what regret was!
With snot and tears streaming down her face, she raised her voice. “I’ve asked the lawyer. She said that she can appeal as long as you can express understanding towards Chen Chen’s situation. The sentence might not be so heavy after the appeal. Qiao Nian, let your sister off. Let her off this time!”
