Chapter 1822: Jiang Xianrou Collapsed
After saying that, he looked in the girl’s direction, his deep eyes focused on her. “How many years do you want her to be sentenced?”
Only Young Master Ye could ask such a question.
Qiao Nian glanced in his direction and met his gaze. Then, she retracted her gaze and pulled down her cap, not paying much attention to it.
“I won’t interfere in her matters.
“She should be sentenced to a few years. This is the basic respect for the old master and Jiang Li, so I won’t interfere.”
She would not stand up for her.
She didn’t lie to the He family. She came today purely to see the results.
However, at this moment, Qiao Nian suddenly wasn’t interested anymore. She stood up, picked up her phone, and said to the man beside her, “Let’s go.”
“You’re not going to wait for the verdict?” Ye Wangchuan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Qiao Nian hummed. Coincidentally, her phone vibrated at this moment. She glanced at the caller ID and hung up. Then, she replied casually, “I’m not staying anymore.”
Ye Wangchuan stood up as well and did not try to persuade her. He only bent down and picked up the earphones she had left on the chair lazily. “Since you don’t want to see it anymore, let’s go. Zhang Yang said that you didn’t go to his birthday party. He wants to treat you to a meal. Gu San and Qin Si are also there. They’re at Lan Pavilion. They booked a private room and are waiting for you.”
Qiao Nian had just hung up on Ji Nan when he sent her another message. It seemed like something urgent had happened, and she hadn’t had time to look at it.
Qiao Nian looked up at him upon hearing this. Her beautiful black eyes seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts.
Zhang Yang had booked a private room at Lan Pavilion, and Qin Si, Gu San, and the others were all there. With a little thought, she knew what was going on. Someone must have arranged it. He was afraid that she would be in a bad mood after leaving the court, so he deliberately used Zhang Yang’s birthday as an excuse to invite her for a meal.
Initially, Qiao Nian’s mood had been a little affected. But the unhappiness dissipated at this moment.
“Mm.” She narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips before agreeing.
Then, she walked forward with one hand in her pocket. “Let’s go.”
Ye Wangchuan looked back at the court before leaving with the girl.
The verdict came out less than half an hour after they left.
It was even heavier than the 15 years Ye Wangchuan had guessed.
The court sentenced Jiang Xianrou to 20 years in prison.O
Jiang Xianrou immediately collapsed to the ground.
Tang Wanru wasn’t any better. She cried and shouted for an appeal, refusing to accept this outcome.
The court was in a mess.
Jiang Yao and the other relatives did not expect the court to give such a heavy sentence. They could not accept this outcome for a moment.
Only Jiang Li silently put on his mask. He didn’t show any special reaction and didn’t seem surprised.
“Jiang Li, could it be Qiao—
After all, Jiang Xianrou was his biological sister. With such a heavy sentence this time, no matter how disappointed he was, it was impossible for him not to be worried about her.
Hence, when he saw that Jiang Li was about to leave, he couldn’t help but reach out and grab the other party’s arm.
Jiang Li didn’t wait for him to finish. He turned around and looked at him seriously. “What are you trying to say? Are you saying that Nian Nian did it?
That Nian Nian affected her verdict?”
Jiang Yao was speechless. “That’s not what I meant.”
“Then what do you mean?” Jiang Li pushed his hand away expressionlessly and said indifferently, “Jian Xianrou sold fake medicine and caused someone’s death. According to the legal procedure, she would be sentenced to at least 15 years, but you insisted on defending her innocence. She also didn’t show any signs of repentance. It’s normal for the court to sentence her severely. 20 years was the result of your choice..”
