Sweet Beauty

Chapter 274 - If I Die, I’ll Drag You Both With Me

Lawyer Lee nodded and looked at them calmly.

No matter if it was Hao Shan, Qiao Biya, or Qiao Jinjing, no one was willing to plead guilty. No one wanted to spend five full years in that dark, damp cell.

Now, they only had one chance, which was to push one of them to take all the sins upon themselves, and the rest would be saved.

"Grandmother, mom, I'm still young! You guys can't let me go to jail!" Qiao Jinjing was the first to speak up.

Hao Shan continued, "I'm old, and I don't have much time left. You guys can't possibly let me go to jail, can you?"

"What?" Qiao Biya was immediately furious when she heard that. "Are you guys trying to play with me?! Why should I plead guilty? I didn't do anything wrong!"

According to Qiao Biya's reasoning, Hao Shan should be the person who entered the jail the most. If she didn't insist on going back to find Qiao Hongya, would she and Qiao Jinjing follow her here?

Besides, Hao Shan had just said that she didn't have many years left in her life, so why not?

She and Qiao Jinjing were still very young, so Hao Shan should be the one to go in.

Hao Shan seemed to have guessed what Qiao Biya was thinking; she cleared her throat and said in a neutral tone. "Biya, think carefully, if I'm outside, I can still think of a way to snatch Qiao Hongya. If Jinjing is outside, though, she can't get Han Yuanjun, but it's still easy for her to find a rich man with her looks. But you? What can you do? At your age, it's already hard enough to find a rich man to marry you. Besides, that man is still hunting for you, don't you think it would be better for you to go in?"

Qiao Jinjing nodded in agreement. "That's right, mom. Grandmother and I can think of a way to save you from outside. If you're outside, you'll just be a burden and get caught up in this. So why don't you hide first and wait until grandmother and I figure out a way to save you?"

Qiao Biya looked at Hao Shan and Qiao Jinjing with her mouth open. She couldn't believe that these words would come out of their mouths.

Calling her a burden?

That she was dragging them down?

Now, these two had teamed up to push her into the pit of fire!

"Why must I?" Qiao Biya angrily slapped the table and scolded with wide eyes. "When there's something good, you never think of me. Now that you two were about to go to jail, you actually remember me. I tell you, it's impossible! I will not be blamed. If I die, I'll drag you both with me. None of you can escape!"

Lawyer Lee finally experienced it. On the surface, the three of them seemed to love each other, but in reality, each was more selfish than the other.

In the end, no one was willing to take all the blame, hehe ...

While the three of them were in a deadlock, Han Yuanjun had already returned to the hospital.

Liang Zixuan's mood seemed to have improved, and her face began to change color. Zeng Zhelan, on the other hand, was obediently sitting next to the silent Fan Zipei, peeling the fruit.

When Qiao Hongya saw Han Yuanjun, he walked up to him and asked anxiously, ''How is it? Did they admit it? Did they really want to hurt Zixuan?"

Han Yuanjun patted him on the shoulder and said to the crowd, "I asked, but they didn't answer. They were very focused on whether Xiao Xuan was still alive. Although they didn't say it, I believe it was only for two reasons."

"First, they thought Grandpa Qiao left them and was living with Grandma Yanyun because Xiao Xuan was his granddaughter. Therefore, they wanted to kill her so that Grandpa Qiao could return to them. Secondly, they thought that my relationship with Xiao Xuan was one of the reasons for Grandpa Qiao's decision. If we put it narcissistically, it's probably because Qiao Jinjing has some delusions about me. That's why she planned this. She could kill two birds with one stone after injuring Xiao Xuan."

"Who are these people?" Old Madam Han was so angry that her face turned red. She tapped her cane on the ground. "They even dare to kill people! Why don't they just go up to heaven?!"

Old Man Han's calm face revealed his agitation as he angrily said, "Hongya! This time, no matter what, you can't let them go! They must pay the price for their actions!"

Qiao Hongya immediately decided, "Don't worry. This time, I won't say a word. I'll let the law punish them!"

Looking at the room and these people's reactions, Han Yuanjun couldn't tell the Han Family what Shao Wuhan had told him.

He walked towards the bed. Luo Yanyun quickly stood up and offered him a seat.

"Grandma Yanyun, Grandpa Qiao, grandmother, grandfather, all of you have been here with Xiao Xuan for a while. How about you guys go back first, I'll stay behind and take care of her. I'll call you guys when things get better."

Earlier, the doctor came again and examined Liang Zixuan's wounds. He told them that her injuries weren't severe and she would be fine as long as she rested for two days.

Now that everything was settled, they didn't want to disturb the couple anymore. Old Madam Han stood up with her cane. "Alright then, we'll go back first. During dinner, I'll ask Mother Cui to deliver good food. Don't eat in the hospital cafeteria."

Liang Zixuan nodded obediently. "Thank you, grandmother."

"What is there to be thankful for? We are all family here." Once Old Madam Han finished, she turned around and began to chase everyone out. "Let's go back. Tonight, Zixuan's drama will be aired. Let's go back and watch it."

As everyone left, Zeng Zhelan and Fan Zipei also stood up to say their goodbyes.

Han Yuanjun held Liang Zixuan in his arms and kissed her on the cheek. "Baby, I have something to tell you. Earlier, Shao Wuhan told me that they hired Mr. Lee, a lawyer who is good at leveraging the law to help reduce his clients' sentences. Shao Wuhan also said that this time, if Hao Shan and the others harden their hearts, maybe only one person would go to jail."

Liang Zixuan didn't understand the law, but she believed in Shao Wuhan.

"I understand. No matter what, since one of them will go to jail, I'll feel better."

Towards those who harbored evil intentions and wanted to harm her, she was never soft!

Han Yuanjun's grip on Liang Zixuan tightened as he placed his chin on her shoulder. He whispered in her ear, ''Don't worry. After this, I won't give them another chance to hurt you!"
