Li Qiaomengs case was quickly resolved within a short period. Perhaps due to continuous pressure from the Ye family, Li Qiaomeng received a severe sentence and was sentenced to ten years in prison.
By this calculation, when Li Qiaomeng was released, she would be thirty years old. At the age of thirty, with no education, no work experience, and no skills, her future seemed bleak.
However, for the Ye family, it was not sufficient. Originally, they intended to charge Li Qiaomeng with intentional murder, but due to insufficient evidence, she was ultimately convicted of intentional injury.
In prison, Auntie Zhuang, upon learning about Li Qiaomengs fate, couldn’t bear it and fainted. When she woke up, she couldn’t help but burst into tears.
She had taken all the blame upon herself, hoping to secure a bright future for Li Qiaomeng. However, she hadn’t anticipated that Li Qiaomeng, shortly after leaving, would commit such an act, once again ruining her own life.
Simultaneously, she regretted her past actions. Back then, she shouldn’t have been swayed and succumbed to Li Qiaomengs persistence, leading to such consequences. Now that things had come to this point, it was too late.
On the other side, at the hospital, Ye Xiyuan, upon hearing Li Qiaomengs verdict, felt no joy. Instead, she was dissatisfied. She lay in the hospital with injuries, and yet Li Qiaomeng, who committed such an act, received only a ten-year sentence, which seemed highly unfair.
Lin Wanqin, observing Ye Xiyuan’s displeasure, softly comforted, “Alright, Xiyuan, don’t dwell on it. These ten years will be enough for Li Qiaomeng to endure torment. Moreover, even when she comes out, life won’t be easy for her.’
“Okay, Mom, I understand.” Ye Xiyuan nodded obediently, then inquired,
“Mom, when can I be discharged? What about the situation at school?”
“Talking about your school makes me angry.” Lin Wanqin’s expression darkened. “The school is clearly unable to shirk responsibility for this incident. However, your principal is uncooperative and refuses to take responsibility.”
Initially, she and her husband had visited the school to negotiate with the principal, hoping for a recommended spot. However, Zheng Anyangs attitude had been stubborn, unwilling to engage in discussions. They had no choice but to reluctantly accept it.
“Now that this matter has passed, let’s forget about it.” Ye Xiyuan shook her head. “Mom, there’s no need for you to continue pursuing the principal. Besides, with my grades, getting into Capital University is absolutely within reach. You don’t have to worry.”
Her goal was not just to get into Capital University but to become the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Thinking about this, Ye Xiyuan’s eyes gleamed with a determined light.
“Yes, the school is fine.” Lin Wanqin nodded, then smiled, asking, “Xiyuan, you need some time to recover, so you won’t be able to return to school immediately. Therefore, your father and I were thinking of asking if you need a teacher for tutoring.”
“No need,” Ye Xiyuan confidently replied, “I’ve already mastered all the high school knowledge. In the days to come, I just need to follow my own study plan; I don’t need a teacher’s guidance at all.”
Hearing Ye Xiyuan’s response, Lin Wanqin didn’t insist and nodded. “Alright, since you’re so confident, I’ll go along with your plan. However, don’t feel too much pressure.”
“l know.” As she spoke, Ye Xiyuan moved her left arm, the one stabbed by Li Qiaomeng. Feeling a sense of weakness, she couldn’t help but furrow her brow and ask, “Mom, is my arm really okay?”
For some reason, she felt a sense of weakness in her arm. Many times, she tried to raise her hand, but it always felt like she couldn’t lift it.
“The hospital has taken X-rays, and they said you’re fine.” Lin Wanqin shook her head and asked with concern, “Xiyuan, do you feel uncomfortable?”
