Chapter 182: The Audience was Dumbfounded
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the audience, Pei Xi was so excited that she almost screamed.
What a stunning pair!
The moment these two appeared, all the men present looked pale.
Of course, there was one exception…
After the court session officially started, Bian Tong opened the document on the table, and his eyes first swept over the audience.
He glanced at the man with an extraordinary aura sitting in the first row. For a moment, he put away his cynical expression and nodded at him seriously.
He then looked at the judge and said politely, “we are ready.”
Mr. Fan was sitting opposite him, bracing himself. In fact, he had already given up.
When it was his turn, if Zhang Guihua had not reminded him from behind, he would have almost forgotten what he wanted to say.
As he spoke, Bian Tong’s hand was on the scroll, and he would occasionally raise his head to look at him, his expression not changing.
However, he didn’t say anything.
After a while, he seemed to be tired of sitting and wanted to cross his legs, but when he saw Pei Huai’s gaze, he obediently put his legs down.
Mr. Fan’s mouth was dry from all the talking. After he finished, he drank a glass of water and nodded at the judge.
Zhang Guihua was very satisfied. “Look at how well Mr. Fan did.”
At this moment, Bian Tong stood up. He did not even hold any documents in his hand. He said directly, “I have been entrusted by Ms. Xu to act as the legal representative. Before this, I’ve read the case file in detail, and I would like to question five points regarding…”
The young man’s argument was clear and he had sufficient evidence.
The judge nodded as he listened.
On the other hand, Mr. Fan looked as if he had been strangled to death. He couldn’t find even a point of rebuttal at all, and his forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat.
In less than 20 minutes, the audience felt like they were in a movie!
Seeing that Mr. Fan did not speak for a long time, Ning Lihua’s face suddenly turned pale.
Listening to Bian Tong’s argument, she felt that she was about to be sentenced to death!
She did want to drug Su Ji, but it was only an attempt.
Why did Bian Tong make it sound like she had committed a heinous crime?
Was there a need for that?
Su Qianrou was also anxious. She no longer acted like a lady from a wealthy family. She pointed at Su Ji’s nose and stood up to scold her. She was like Zhang Guihua 2.0.
“Su Ji! You vicious woman! You said that my mother drugged you, but why was my mother the one who was sent to the room in the end? How could it be so coincidental that the surveillance footage was gone?”
Looking at Su Ji’s cold expression, Zhang Guihua was heartbroken. “Why do we have such an ungrateful person in the family? The woman beside you did give birth to you, but Ning Lihua raised you for 20 years! You’ve ruined the rest of her life and ruined the Su family’s reputation.”
“Please be quiet!!”
The plaintiff’s audience was instantly shrouded in hostility, but out of respect for the court, they did not speak up.
Su Ji clenched her fists tightly, and her eyes turned red.
Logically speaking, one shouldn’t stoop to the level of a mad dog.
However, Su Ji could not control her anger at the mention of Xu Mingzhi.
A mother knows her daughter best. Xu Mingzhi gently held Su Ji’s hand.
Su Ji looked up and saw Xu Mingzhi’s gentle smile.
Everyone knew of Xu Mingzhi’s explosive temper, but she was not angry at all at the malicious words, because she knew that her daughter would be even angrier if she showed that she was affected.
After all, this was a court. If it was any other place, she could burn the Su family down on the spot!
A low cough came from the first row.
Bian Tong immediately said, “by article 246, a person who publicly insults or fabricates facts might face up to three years of imprisonment. Just now, the two of you insulted my client in front of the court. I reserve the right to sue you on behalf of Ms. Su.”
Su Qianrou fell back into her chair.
Zhang Guihua did not dare to make a sound.
Who is this lawyer?
In the past, the Xu and Su families were evenly matched, so who was helping the mother and daughter now?
Zhang Guihua couldn’t figure it out. When she came back to her senses, Su Cunyi had sat beside her.
“You…” Zhang Guihua was afraid of being warned by the judge again, so she lowered her voice this time. “You have the audacity to come here? Why don’t you continue to help that ungrateful b*tch who destroyed the Su family?”
Su Cunyi couldn’t stand it anymore, so he came over to wake up his ignorant mother. “Mom, if you don’t know how to speak, then don’t speak anymore.”
This was the first time he had spoken to his mother in such a cold tone.
Zhang Guihua was shocked. “What did you say?”
Su Cunyi said, “you misunderstood! The Pei Corporation didn’t stop our projects because they were angry with Su Ji! They’ve already restored two projects…”
Before he could finish, Zhang Guihua interrupted him. “It must be because they know that I’m in the hospital and are afraid that I’ll get angry again. It looks like it’s not a bad thing that I was hospitalized.
“Oh my God, you better shut up!” Su Cunyi was speechless. “Let me tell you. CEO Pei is now in a relationship with Su Ji. He stopped our projects to remind us to treat Su Ji well!”
Su Qianrou and Su Junye, who were sitting in the front row, were stunned for three seconds. They turned around and looked at him.
Zhang Guihua felt that she had heard the funniest thing. “How could the Pei family be interested in Su Ji? Don’t be a coward just to cover for Su Ji!”
“Take a look for yourself,” Su Cunyi said. “Who’s the man sitting in the first row?”
As he spoke, he lifted his chin in that direction.
They followed his gaze.
At this moment, they noticed Pei Huai.
He was sitting on the plaintiff’s side, which clearly showed his stance.
At that moment, the man’s extremely cold gaze swept over them.
Zhang Guihua saw his face clearly and lost her composure. “Ah!”
Su Cunyi’s deep voice echoed in her ears, “you should know the CEO of the Pei Corporation, right? See what have you done!”
