"Bai Ran, you heartless woman, my daughter is still suffering in prison, and you—how dare you seek happiness?" the woman’s voice, strained to its utmost, carried far over the loudspeaker, its piercing tone causing listeners’ eardrums to ache. Bai Ran’s pupils dilated, and she stared in disbelief: "Sister-in-law...." "Don’t call me sister-in-law. I don’t have a sister like you, you wretch! If you don’t save my Xiangxiang, then fine—may you never see your son again." "If you dare to harm Xi’er, I will never let you go," Bai Ran shouted, her eyes reddening with urgency. "Don’t panic," Ning Qinglin said softly, patting her back with tightly pressed lips. Bai Xi was her life. If Gu Chunrong dared to hurt even a hair on Bai Xi’s head, she would make sure her death was a hideous one. "Mommy...wuu wuu... Mommy save me mmm...." The child’s cry for help suddenly changed into muffled groans, as someone covered his mouth and nose. Hearing this familiar voice, Bai Ran felt her heart being wrenched in pain, and she couldn’t help but burst into tears. Her gaze inadvertently swept the audience below the stage. Resting on a quiet and beautiful girl sitting in the front row, a pair of dark, bright eyes met hers silently. Within that gaze, a deep sneer flickered. Bai Ran took a step back, her face turning instantly pale as paper. She suddenly recalled what Yun Ya had said not so long ago; she said she would regret everything—and indeed, every prediction had come true. She was now blue with regret. Because of Bai Xiangxiang’s situation, she had already owed a mountain of favors before even marrying into the Ning Family. She had just been a few steps late in informing Gu Chunrong, and now her son had been kidnapped—all because she hadn’t saved Gu Chunrong’s daughter... Bai Ran suddenly found it all very ironic. Hadn’t she severed ties with the Bai Family? Hadn’t she vowed never to deal with them again? Hadn’t she already seen through Gu Chunrong’s true face? So why did she meddle in Bai Xiangxiang’s affairs? What did it matter to her whether Bai Xiangxiang lived or died? The laughable ties of blood relatives; at this moment, she suddenly understood the meaning behind Yun Ya’s words. "Gu Chunrong..." Bai Ran yelled, "If you release Xi’er, I will have someone save Bai Xiangxiang. She will be fine. If you dare to harm a single hair on Xi’er’s head, I will make sure you never see Bai Xiangxiang again for the rest of your life." "Can you really save Xiangxiang?" the voice asked softly, with a tone of skepticism. "Of course. I’ve already asked a friend to inquire. There’s still a chance for Bai Xiangxiang’s case. As long as you release Xi’er, I will get her out," Bai Ran assured. Gu Chunrong hesitated for a moment before saying, "Impossible, don’t lie to me. The court’s verdict is already out. She was sentenced to ten years. Her whole life is ruined. Don’t think you can deceive me any longer. My daughter’s life is destroyed; your son won’t have a good one either." Bai Ran took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. Then, a warm and broad hand landed on her back, dispelling the unease and turmoil in her heart. Turning around, she saw the man’s gentle and handsome face. "Don’t worry, Xi’er will be fine." He pulled her behind him and looked around, his calm and steady voice reaching far through the microphone. "Ranran didn’t lie to you. She hasn’t slept for days because of Xiangxiang’s case and finally found a breakthrough. Didn’t you already apply for an appeal to the Supreme People’s Court for Xiangxiang’s case? Why do you think the Supreme People’s Court would accept a case that has already been decided if there wasn’t a chance? Why didn’t you wait a few more days for the latest results? Trust in the justice of the law. As long as Xiangxiang is innocent, she has nothing to fear." Gu Chunrong couldn’t wait that long; she was terrified by the first-instance verdict. Ten years of imprisonment, even considering Xiangxiang’s youth in the sentencing. After ten years in prison, her daughter’s life would be completely destroyed. How could she stand by and watch Bai Ran live happily while her own daughter’s life was shattered? She couldn’t bear it, which was why she had sneaked into the hotel today, finally finding an opportunity... Hearing Ning Qinglin’s words, Gu Chunrong was stunned. Had Bai Ran already sought help? Was there still hope for Xiangxiang? In her moment of distraction, Bai Xi bit her hand sharply. She winced in pain and loosened her grip, and Bai Xi, like a slippery eel, wiggled out in an instant. Gu Chunrong couldn’t grab hold of him in time. Her eyes fierce, she couldn’t let him escape. Having come this far, she thought, might as well go all out and kidnap him. Otherwise, what if Bai Ran stopped caring about Xiangxiang? The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
