After the hospital's New Year's Eve dinner, Bai Dingxian and Sun Qing both left Hua City, following Lu Han and Tang Su to Beijing.
After this return to Beijing, Sun Qing probably wouldn't come back to Hua City. Before leaving, she put the apartment she was currently living in on the market through an agency.
Those annoying people, knowing her address, would come looking for her every now and then because of Zheng Cheng's issues.
Luckily, Bai Dingxian didn't stand by indifferently. After Ge Qing went back to Beijing, he let Sun Qing stay in the villa, justifying it to himself by reasoning, no matter what, Sun Qing was Tang Su's best friend.
Being nice to Sun Qing was also a way to ingratiate himself with his sister-in-law, Tang Su, and in the future, their family relations would be more harmonious.
Zheng Cheng was also guilty of economic crimes. Sun Qing relentlessly pursued justice, and no pleas for leniency worked. In the end, he was sentenced to ten years.
