Ye Lixun went back and told Ye Qingqiu what Li Tingshen meant.

“He said that if you agree to overturn the case, he will agree to sign the divorce agreement.”

Ye Qingqiu looked at Ye Jianyun’s photo and pursed her lips lightly. “…Alright, I agree.”

Ye Lixun paused and stared at Ye Qingqiu’s back in silence.

Ye Qingqiu lowered her head to look at the ring on her ring finger that she had been rubbing. She looked at it for a long time before rubbing it again. In the end, she clasped it with her finger and slowly removed it.

She raised her hand and the simple platinum ring that didn’t even have a single diamond shone coldly under the light.

She stared at the ring for a few more seconds before lowering her gaze and saying calmly,

“Auntie… please help me return this to him.”

Ye Lixun went forward and saw the ring. She paused before taking it.

He pursed his lips and looked at her. “Qingqiu, are you…”

“Yes?”

“…Did you already know that this was the only way he would sign the divorce agreement? That’s why you decided to confess in court…”

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips slightly and shook her head with her eyes closed. Her tone was calm and indifferent.

“No.”

Ye Lixun didn’t say anything. She glanced at Ye Jianyun’s photo on the platform. She didn’t believe it.

No one knew better than Qingqiu how much her brother doted on her.

So how could she choose to go against her brother’s wishes and ruin her life with the crime of murder?

Perhaps everyone had been deceived by this girl.

The next day was the day Ye Jianyun was buried.

Ye Qingqiu stayed in the mourning hall for the entire night. Early the next morning, she started preparing for the burial.

There were many things to attend to. By the time they were sent to the cemetery for burial, the sky was already bright.

The weather had been gloomy for the past two days, and it finally rained this morning.

She didn’t intend to disturb this gloomy world.

Ye Qingqiu stood in front of Ye Jianyun’s tombstone with a black umbrella for a long time. Beside her stood Ye Lixun and two uniformed law enforcement officers.

“Miss Ye, it’s about time.”

She was now a criminal. It was because of her connections that she was released. 24 hours was about to pass.

Ye Qingqiu blinked and walked forward to touch Ye Jianyun’s tombstone.

Her fair and slender hand trembled slightly. She bent down slowly and placed her forehead on the tombstone.

A string of tears fell silently.

“Dad…”

“Goodbye…”

A calm and gentle call made Ye Lixun, who had accepted this fact for so many days, cover her mouth and almost cry.

Yesterday, she had been kneeling calmly in front of the mourning hall without crying or saying a word to her brother.

Her calmness reminded her of when her sister-in-law left.

She thought that she would definitely return to prison to hide and cry alone, just like how she had hidden in her room back then.

But it was different after all. Even after her sister-in-law left, she still had her father to accompany her.

Now that her father had left, she was the only one left.

After a long while, she slowly stood up and held her umbrella. She stood silently for a while before turning around and walking to Ye Lixun.

“Auntie, I’ll get going first.”

Ye Lixun looked at her calm face and nodded lightly. “The appeal is in two days. You can…”

“I know.”

Ye Qingqiu interrupted her softly and reached out to hug Ye Lixun. “Thank you, Auntie.”

Ye Lixun patted her shoulder. “Don’t worry.”

“Yeah.”

After that, Ye Qingqiu let go of her and left with the two law enforcers.

Watching the three of them leave, Ye Lixun frowned slightly. She felt that something was amiss.

They walked out of the cemetery and walked to the roadside in the suburbs. Opposite the police car with its flashing lights, a black car was parked quietly. The rain made the car even darker.

Beside the car, a tall figure stood with a black umbrella.

His handsome features were blurred by the rain.

But how could she not recognize him?

It was too easy for her.

Even if he stood in the sea of people, she could find him in the shortest time possible.

She stood there and looked at him quietly for a while before retracting her gaze indifferently. After getting into the police car, she closed the umbrella and threw it by the roadside.

Li Tingshen’s gaze trailed after the police car before landing on the umbrella she had thrown by the roadside.

As expected of Ye Qingqiu.

One moment, he was protecting her, and the next moment, he could abandon her.

Ye Lixun came down from the tomb and frowned when she saw the umbrella in his hand.

“She said she doesn’t want to see you. Why?”

Li Tingshen said calmly, “But she can’t not see me forever.”

Ye Lixun narrowed her eyes. “What do you mean?”

Li Tingshen pursed his lips and turned to leave with an umbrella.

Ye Lixun took two hurried steps. “Don’t tell me you won’t let her off!”

Li Tingshen lowered his head and folded the umbrella before tying it.

“I’ve never thought about it.”

Ye Lixun froze on the spot. She suddenly recalled Li Tingshen’s words.

“You think I waited until now to withdraw the lawsuit?”

Today, it could also be converted to—

“You think I waited until now to give up?”

She suddenly felt a headache.

One refused to compromise.

One refused to let go.

However, the more Li Tingshen acted like this, the more she felt that Qingqiu’s reaction was abnormal.

For some reason, she felt uneasy when she saw Li Tingshen.

*

It wasn’t until the day of the second appeal that Ye Lixun finally knew the answer.

Ye Qingqiu was still convicted.

The case had indeed been overturned.

From intentional murder to manslaughter.

He would be sentenced to three to seven years in prison.

The moment the verdict was announced, Li Tingshen stood up abruptly from the plaintiff’s seat. His gaze was malicious and his face was dark.

“You lied to me?!”

Ye Qingqiu smiled lightly and said, “You make it sound like you’ve always trusted me. Has the case been overturned?”

Li Tingshen’s arms tightened.

“Yes,” replied Ye Qingqiu. “I didn’t promise you anything else.”

“Moreover, there’s Liang Xuer’s testimony.”

The appeal today was actually just a continuation of the first trial.

If she hadn’t confessed back then, with Liang Xuer’s testimony at the end of the first trial, she would have ended up like this—guilty of manslaughter.

Fury raged in Li Tingshen’s eyes.

She lied to him because she wanted him to sign the divorce agreement.

Looking at his furious expression, Ye Qingqiu chuckled softly.

“Alright, even if I lied to you, do you really intend to let me off?”

Li Tingshen’s jaw tightened.

The answer was obvious.

Naturally not.

Ye Lixun looked at her bitterly. When she heard her words, she suddenly came to a realization.

“Qingqiu, you—”

She knew that Li Tingshen would not let her off easily.

“Aunt, this is the final outcome. It’s all over. Take Grandpa and leave. Don’t worry about me. Don’t help me. Don’t find out anything about me. Take it that I’ve been dead for three years…”

“Qingqiu!”

Ye Qingqiu’s gaze gradually turned to Li Tingshen. “No matter who wants to find out about me, I’d rather die inside.”

Li Tingshen’s eyebrows twitched as he glared at her.

“Are you threatening me?”

“I hope it can threaten you.”

She turned to leave with a cruel smile.
