Lu Ning sneered: "Because Heaven is watching what people do."

Madam Mo was still unwilling to accept it: "It's all your fault."

"In the eyes of your Mo family, everything is someone else's fault, and you are completely blameless. It's just a pity that the judge will not accept your words; she will only accept the evidence. Instead of wasting your time here harboring resentment, you should think about how to spend your last moments."

After Lu Ning finished speaking, she turned and left, not wanting to stay there.

Behind her came Madam Mo's struggling and screaming voice: "All of you come back here! All of you come back here!"

But in the end, Madam Mo was still forced to leave.

Lu Ning went outside and saw Madam Ji standing alone by the roadside, seemingly wiping away tears.

Lu Ning didn't go over immediately, wanting to give Madam Ji some private space to calm down.

Lu Ning looked at Ji Chiqian and said, "Madam Mo has really gone mad."

"I regret it now. Why didn't I stop my mother's relationship with Mrs. Mo years ago? If I had exposed it earlier, things might not be like this now."

Ji Chiqian is now really regretful.

"You can't be blamed for this. After all, before this matter was exposed, no one knew that Madam Mo could do something so crazy."

Madam Mo's crazy behavior has completely crossed the line of what is normal for a person.

Mrs. Ji quickly composed herself and turned to look at Lu Ning, saying, "I will definitely testify at the trial. Someone as vicious as her should pay with her life."

Lu Ning stepped forward and hugged Madam Ji, saying, "Once the relationship ends, everything will be over."

Madam Ji's eyes quickly welled up with tears again, and she nodded: "That's right."

Lu Ning knew that in this incident, they had all been schemed against by Madam Mo, because Madam Mo's selfishness and ruthlessness led to the deaths of her parents.

Madam Ji was also implicated and nearly died as a result of the scheme.

They were unlucky to encounter such a ruthless person.

Fortunately, justice prevailed and the evidence was eventually found, leading to Madam Mo being sent to prison to face the trial she deserved.

Mrs. Ji glanced at the time: "Let's go have dinner together now. I've been hospitalized for so long, and I haven't eaten out in ages."

Lu Ning thought for a moment and said, "Shall we go to the pear orchard?"

Madam Ji said, "Let's not go to the Pear Garden. I'm tired of that place. Let's go somewhere else. I heard there's a newly opened restaurant with pretty good ratings lately. We can go and try it."

Since it was a rare opportunity for Madam Ji to get some fresh air, Lu Ning couldn't leave and accompanied her to the restaurant.

The meal was quite enjoyable.

However, Lu Ning saw Chen Yu's stepmother at the restaurant. She looked a lot like Qin Xiang and was wearing a vintage-style white linen suit, which made her look exceptionally pure.

Although she looks very much like Qin Xiang, their temperaments are completely different.

Qin Xiang is a typical delicate and innocent woman, but this woman is a classical beauty with an air of nobility.

Ji Chiqian followed her gaze and naturally saw Chen Yu's stepmother.

He frowned and said, "Why did this person go back to China?"

"Chen Yu said she went back to China to handle some company matters and will probably leave soon."

Lu Ning looked away: "This stepmother is quite similar to Qin Xiang, but their temperaments are completely different. They're not even the same kind of people."

Ji Chiqian said, "I've checked. This person has absolutely no connection to the Qin family. They're completely unrelated."

"I know, Chen Yu has already explained it. It's just too much of a coincidence."

Lu Ning left with Ji Chiqian.

The woman who had been sitting in the chair suddenly looked up at the spot where Lu Ning and Ji Chiqian had been.

-

After finishing her meal, Lu Ning returned to school.

But when she entered the dormitory, she noticed that Chen Guoguo and Chen Yu had exchanged a glance, clearly having something to say to each other.

Chen Guoguo stepped forward: "Lu Ning, tell me honestly, did you go on a date this afternoon?"

"You all know that I accompanied Mrs. Ji to the detention center this afternoon."

Chen Guoguo said, "We know, but we didn't know that you went to eat with them again and were even secretly photographed."

"Taking photos secretly? What do you mean?"

Chen Yu continued, "The news that you went to a restaurant to eat has been exposed on the internet, saying that you and Ji Chiqian have reached the point of meeting each other's parents."

"That's complete nonsense. But Ji Chiqian and I aren't celebrities, so why are so many people paying attention?"

"That's all thanks to Mo Shiyi. This woman is currently infamous, but she's also quite popular. After all, everyone knows about her past relationship with Ji Chiqian, which is why so many people are paying attention to you."

Lu Ning felt somewhat helpless.

Chen Guoguo laughed and said, "Mo Shiyi will probably be furious when she sees this news. She can only crawl in the shadows, twisted with jealousy. After all, everything you have now is what she once longed for."

No matter how hard Mo Shiyi tries, she can't compare to Lu Ning now.

Lu Ning shook her head: "If Mo Shiyu hadn't had this obsession, hadn't been manipulated by her mother, and hadn't done these self-destructive things, her life wouldn't actually be so bad."

After all, Mo Shiyi was once a top socialite. She was beautiful, had a great figure, and was famous. If her reputation hadn't been ruined, she would have been successful in the entertainment industry or in other fields in the future.

Unfortunately, Mo Shiyi only focused on men and only listened to her mother's advice to make these sacrifices, ultimately leading to her utter defeat.

Chen Yu commented: "There are quite a few people like this. Some family members are really not family; they will only make you sink deeper and deeper."

"That's right."

Lu Ning suffered greatly from this, so when she first saw Mo Shiyi make the wrong choice, she felt sorry for Mo Shiyi.

But Mo Shiyi remained stubbornly obstinate, and no one can be blamed for that.

Soon, Su Jingbai sent a message to Lu Ning: "Have you met Ji Chiqian and He Hao's parents?"

Lu Ning replied, "No, the media is just making things up. We just had a meal together."

Su Jingbai: "Hmph, you know the saying 'a good horse doesn't eat the grass it has already grazed'?"

Lu Ning: "..."

Why is everyone so concerned about her private life?

That evening, when Lu Ning was about to rest, she received a call from Lu Nanfeng.

Lu Ning frowned: "Is there anything else?"

"Ningning, Qin Xiang's labor is going badly. She's been in critical condition for a day and a night, and there's no guarantee she'll survive."

"What? Wasn't she premature and opted for a C-section? How could this have gone wrong?"

Lu Nanfeng continued, "I heard it's some kind of amniotic fluid embolism."

Upon hearing this name, Lu Ning felt extremely uneasy. Why did this have to happen at this crucial moment?

She asked, "What about Lu Xicheng? Is there nothing he can do?"

“Your third brother said that in this situation, we can only leave it to fate, as there is currently no specific medicine to treat this sudden illness.”

Lu Ning suddenly became a little irritated: "The trial is tomorrow, you guys really know how to bring me good news."

If Qin Xiang really dies, things might really change after the trial begins.

What if Boss Qin recants his testimony in court?
