Starlight Has No Past
Chapter 50 Part 1

To the surprise of everyone, Ye Qiao had pleaded guilty to all the charges against her. The trial continued smoothly. Though the Ye family had hired an expensive lawyer, Ye Qiao, due to the fact that she was a well known public figure and the bad example she had shown to the society, was still sentenced to a half of a year jail time for allowing others to use drugs in her home.

News about Ye Qiao’s trial and sentencing had occupied the entertainment news for quite some time. Zheng Xishuo posted on Weibo supporting Ye Qiao, believing her innocence, and was verbally attacked by many. His agency had to issue public apologies to calm the fans. Ye Qiao, however, had kept her silence.
During the whole trial, Ye Qiao only met with her uncle and said to him: “Grandma is too old for what’s happened. Try to comfort her more.”

Everyone who knew Ye Qiao well couldn’t understand why she had acted this way. Her placid attitude and pleading guilty to something she didn’t do was beyond the comprehension of her friends and family.

At the day of her sentencing, Zhou Tingsheng was sitting in the courtroom. Ye Qiao glanced at him with a smile. It was a look of affectionate and gratification, without any worry or sadness.
Ruan Feiyan was also in the courtroom, sitting in a remote corner. Faced with Ye Qiao’s calmness and unperturbed acceptance of her sentence, Ruan Feiyan couldn’t find an ounce of enjoyment from her revenge and grew even more resentful. After the court proceeding was over, she was the first one to rush out of the courtroom. There were several thuggish looking men waiting for her in a car. The man who looked like the leader of the group complained when he saw her red eyes. “Didn’t you want to punish that woman? She even pleaded guilty! What are you crying for!”

Ruan Feiyan bit her lip and asked: “Where’s Zhao Mo?”
“She disappeared after her 14 days of detention. Who knows where she is.”
“You guys haven’t looked for her? !” Ruan Feiyan widened her eyes: “You said that you would get her on drugs so we could take revenge on Ye Qiao. And then afterwards you’d give her some money so she could get detoxed!”
The man burst into laughter. “Young lady, how old are you this year? We aren’t a charity organization. She’s no use to us now. Why do we have to be responsible for her for the rest of her life?”

Ruan Feiyan was terribly upset. She looked around for a moment, then suddenly looked down to unbuckle her safety belt.
The man held her hand down. “Where are you going?”
“None of your business!” Ruan Feiyan shook off his hand and opened the door as she released her safety belt.
The moment she landed on the ground, the two men in the back seat had already come out of the car and were waiting for her. They pushed her against the car.
“What are you all doing? !”

The leader also got out of the car. “Hmph, you plan on just running away after using us to take care of your business? Who do you think you are? Who would do all this for you if you weren’t pretty and young? You really think you’re somebody by now.” As he was talking, he tried to pick her up and push her into the car. Ruan Feiyan violently struggled, knelt down on the ground and held the frame of the door to stay out of the car. One of the men slapped her on the face. The back of her head hit the door frame, her eyes scratched the edge of the old door frame and blood began oozing out.
She passed out from the pain and collapsed in the man’s hands.
The one who hit her panicked: “What…...what should we do?”

Another car came out from the garage just then. They were illuminated by the car’s headlights and the driver kept honking the horn at them.
-- -- “Hurry, drop her here, let’s go!”
Liang Zirao watched the men drove off in a hurry, then slammed on the brakes, her hands on the steering wheel were shaking. “Tingsheng…...over there, it looks like a person’s laying there.”

Zhou Tingsheng took a look through the car window. The person looked familiar. He went out of the car to take a closer look and found Ruan Feiyan. Her hair was all messed up and blood was flowing from her eyes down along her face and stained the collar of her white coat. She was unconscious. Zhou Tingsheng frowned, picked her up, and returned to the car. He instructed the shaking Liang Zirao. “Drive, to the hospital!”
