Chapter 257: Chapter 257: The Incident Hits the News

In the evening, Luo Qiao and her companions took the car Zhang Jianjun arranged, returning to the city overnight since Luo Qiao still had school the next day. The entire matter was left to Luo Haotian to handle.

Upon returning to the city, Lu Yichen directly called Yuan Weicheng and instructed him to handle some matters, stressing the necessity of getting them done over the next few days.

Luo Haotian did not return to the city. He stayed behind to deal with the aftermath, determined to see Gao Suhua’s case reach a conclusion. This vile woman was someone he absolutely could not and would not let off easily.

Luo Haotian made a call to Capital City that very night, and the next day, the officers handling Gao Suhua’s case received orders from their superiors to treat it as a high-profile case.

The judicial process began swiftly the following day, and the case caused a sensation. Gao Suhua was made an example of, sentenced to twenty years in prison, and the Zhao Family was ordered to compensate Luo Qiao with a total of 1500 yuan for various damages.

Zhao Pulin’s hair turned white overnight with worry, and the daughters of the Zhao Family were so ashamed they dared not step outside. In the end, Zhao Xiaomei had no choice but to follow Cui Family Eldest back to Cui Family Manor.

In Qingshan Village, the topic of every conversation these days was the Zhao Family’s affairs, with everyone decrying Gao Suhua’s malevolence.

After seeing Gao Suhua’s case concluded, Luo Haotian went to Ji City to see his daughter. For now, Luo Qiao did not wish to return to Capital City with him.

Having no alternative, Luo Haotian agreed to her wishes. He had planned to leave some money for his daughter, but Luo Qiao declined, advising him to return to Capital City first to take care of the business there.

Meanwhile, in the Capital City Machinery Factory Complex, everyone was discussing the incident. Luo Jianing’s biological mother had switched her own daughter with Deputy Director Luo’s daughter at the hospital, all for securing a good family for her own child, and then immediately swapped another family’s girl for a boy.

Fifteen years later, the boy’s biological parents found him and took him back, returning the girl they had taken away. However, Luo Jianing’s biological parents adamantly refused to acknowledge this daughter.

They insisted she was not their biological child, claiming their own daughter had died, and cruelly abandoned the fifteen-year-old girl to fend for herself, unconcerned and uninvolved. Fearing that the girl’s academic excellence would threaten their own daughter’s future, they went so far as to conspire to sell her off.

But in a twist of fate, their malicious scheme backfired and harmed their biological child instead, resulting in a twenty-year prison sentence for Gao Suhua as her just deserts.

Yet this wasn’t enough; the day after the sentence took effect, the story hit the newspapers, causing nationwide uproar. The voices condemning Gao Suhua and the Zhao Family were everywhere, and there were even people from the county and city who were undeterred by the hassle of traveling to Qingshan Village just to trouble the Zhao Family.

They wanted to see for themselves what this shameless family looked like. The news report was extensive; aside from Luo Qiao using a pseudonym, everyone else’s real names were published, including Luo Jianing’s. Suddenly, Luo Jianing became a figure of disgrace in the eyes of the public.

Even her doting Ning Xueling began to avoid her, unable to come to terms with the fact that the child she cherished like a gem was not her own, realizing she too had been deceived.

Locked in her room and too afraid to leave, Luo Jianing was overwhelmed with fear. What had she done wrong? She had been but an infant at the time; why should she have to pay for this?

She hated the people of the Zhao Family and the Luo Family. Why hadn’t they stopped such reports? After all, they did not love her or consider her feelings. Was blood really that important?

She had been the one by their side for fifteen years; why did everyone have to treat her this way? Not a single person in the family came to comfort her. After crying for an entire day and night, Luo Jianing had an idea and quickly got out of bed to rummage through her things, gathering the money she had saved.

It amounted to over three hundred yuan, all saved by her. She carefully packed away the money, along with some valuables into her small bag, thinking she would need to take all this with her if she left, as these items would be her means for a fresh start.

Luo Haotian hadn’t expected that by the time he reached Capital City, the news had already been plastered across the newspapers, and that it had quickly spread throughout the family living quarters before making it into the next day’s paper. Who could be behind this?

Clearly, this was all in aid of Luo Qiao, and perhaps even the Luo Family. As he walked through the factory gates, everyone was discussing his family’s affairs, and some even approached him with greetings, congratulating him on finding his biological daughter.
