Chapter 1816: It Looks Like Even the Second Branch Can’t Compare to The First Branch’s Daughter

At this moment, the girl’s cold and slightly irritated voice sounded.

“Never mind.”

Qiao Nian stood up straight. Her eyes were cold under the black cap as her gaze swept across her relatives. She pulled down her cap, suppressing her ink-black eyes as she spoke to the man standing in front of her.

“Let’s go.”

He looked back at the girl and saw that she was distant and indifferent. He knew she did not want to have anything to do with the Jiang family anymore.

He was silent for a moment. Then, he looked coldly at the Jiang family relatives before retracting his gaze. He put one hand in his pocket and did not say anything else.

He and Qiao Nian left the hospital together.

It was not until they disappeared from the corridor that the people from the Jiang family. They could barely breathe. Someone couldn’t help but say about Yuan Qing, “Aunt, what were you doing just now? Why were you talking to Qiao Nian like that? It’s not like you don’t know that Xianrou stole Qiao Nian’s prescription and incited public opinion on Weibo. The Internet was in an uproar for two days and almost implicated her school and teachers. It’s a little too much for you to ask her to help Jian Xianrou just because we’re family.”

“That’s right. Why did you say that? I almost wanted to stop you just now, but I was too embarrassed to interrupt.”

One person accused Yuan Qing of being incompetent. Then, a second and a third… In the blink of an eye, most of the relatives said that Yuan Qing had gone too far this time.

Yuan Qing had always had a big say in the Jiang family due to her seniority.

At this moment, she was being criticized by everyone at once. She couldn’t maintain her dignity and her expression grew ugly, but she didn’t say anything this time.

She knew very well in her heart.

When these people accused her of being in the wrong, it wasn’t because they were on Qiao Nian’s side. Instead, through this incident, everyone understood that the second branch of the Jiang family combined wasn’t as powerful as the daughter that the first branch brought back from the countryside…

Everyone had the bad habit of envying the powerful. Even though she had already left, it did not stop some people from trying to curry favor.

This was why no one said anything before. After Qiao Nian left, everyone stood up and said that she was in the wrong! Everyone spoke at once, but Yuan Qing did not say anything or argue.

They immediately lost interest and looked in the direction where the man and woman had left just now. Then, someone said rather emotionally, “Previously, when we split up, I thought that the first branch’s family had declined. Tsk, now it seems that it’s not the first branch’s family that has declined, but the second branch!”

“That’s right. What a pity. How did Zongnan give birth to such a disappointing daughter? I wonder what the verdict will be after the trial tomorrow…”

“Isn’t Tang Wanru still looking for a defense lawyer? She hasn’t found one yet?”

Wednesday.

The weather in the capital was clear and cloudless.

Tang Wanru rushed to the court early in the morning, accompanied by a young man in his thirties.

The man was not tall and was rather thin. He wore glasses and was dressed in a black suit. He was holding a thick black leather document bag in his hand.

Anyone who saw him could tell his profession at first glance—lavvyer.

“Lawyer Huang, are you confident? You have to think of a way to save my daughter. I’m counting on you.” Tang Wanru’s face was anxious as she held the lawyer’s hand, obviously nervous.

“Madam Tang, don’t worry. I’ll try my best to defend Miss Jiang’s innocence.”

The man she called Lawyer Huang comforted her, but his heart was pounding..
