"Mom, even if you beat to death, I will still hold firm to my testimony; it is the Su Family father and daughter who are at fault," Chang Chi said, touching her heated cheeks angrily.
"Do you want to kill your biological father and your own sister?" Chang i’s words seed to be squeezed out of her mouth one by one.
With great effort put into every word, after she finished speaking, she staggered, and Su Ziceng instinctively supported her.
Biological father and sister? Chang Chi stopped in her tracks, she let go of Shang Yin, and looked incredulously at Chang i and Su Ziceng, who was supporting her.
Su Qingzhang is her father... Su Ziceng is her sister. This can’t be true, Chang Chi couldn’t believe everything Chang i said. Her biological father, shouldn’t he be that drunkard, that poor old man hiding in the Sixth District. And her... sister.
"Mom, you are lying to ," Chang Chi said with uncertainty, her eyes widening with horror.
"Secretary Chang, there’s no need for you to lie because of her testimony," Su Ziceng murmured, supporting Chang i’s unstable figure due to sadness and anger. She too thought that Chang i was telling lies.
If she and Chang Chi are real sisters, then... why did Qiao Chu get together with Su Qingzhang back then. It’s impossible that he would abandon a pregnant Chang i and marry Su Qingzhang.
"I am not lying, what reason would I have to lie today," Chang i pushed Su Ziceng away, letting the court officers escort her away, "If you don’t believe, you can go to the hospital and check."
Only then did the spectators in the courtroom disperse, and Shang Yin took the stupefied Chang Chi out.
Su Ziceng stood in the empty courtroom, she looked outside the door of the courtroom, but still, she saw no sign of Pello. Where had he gone, where was he when she needed him most?
"Miss Su, please pull yourself together," Chen Jiachun ca beside Su Ziceng, whispering words of comfort, "We need to think about our next steps."
"Thank you," Su Ziceng replied chanically. No matter the path ahead, she must continue walking.
"Today’s court session was quite lively, it’s a pity you didn’t go to see it," Chang Chi and Shang Yin walked into the rchant family’s hall, and saw Pello and Wen Maixue both sitting inside.
A bottle of wine was opened on the table, and when Shang Yin walked over, he poured a glass for both Chang Chi and himself.
"We were discussing sothing more important," Wen Maixue said with a sweet expression, sitting close beside Pello.
Chang Chi was forced by Shang Yin to gulp down the wine, she fumbled with it and drank it in one go. The alcohol entering her throat felt like a knife slit.
"It ended so quickly?" Pello looked at Chang Chi, seeing her eyes vacant. Today’s court session should have gone smoothly; why did Chang Chi have such an expression.
"It was interrupted," Shang Yin blinked slyly, without further elaborating.
Pello lowered his glass slightly, Wen Maixue glanced at him with a smirk, saying, "The Su Family case is a big case, it’s estimated that the trial won’t finish so soon."
"Naturally, a case that should be judged by the Provincial High Court being transferred to a local interdiate court, it goes without saying that it would require a lot of manpower and resources," according to the laws of this country, cases with significant social impact should be investigated by the Provincial High Court.
"Who knows if the Su Family and Su Ziceng can withstand such tornt. Today she seed quite overwheld," Shang Yin poured another glass of wine, not drinking it but holding it in his hand as if admiring it.
Pello set his glass on the table, stood up but then sat down again. Today, Wen Maixue had arranged to discuss engagent matters with him, including the venue and the dresses. He could have declined, but he ultimately agreed. He knew, it was ti to cut ties with Su Ziceng; they shouldn’t see each other anymore.
"Why are you here?" Chang Chi stared blankly at Pello, and at Wen Maixue, who seed very intimate sitting beside him.
"His reason for being here is the sa reason you are here," Wen Maixue doesn’t like Su Ziceng, but that does not an she would like Chang Chi, a woman who is with Shang Yin, what good can she be.
"Weren’t you in a relationship with Su Ziceng? You," Chang Chi paused, and then she understood. Shang Yin, Wen Maixue, and Pello, they were all in it together.
Both she and Su Ziceng were trapped in a sche. Chang Chi thought of the scene today in court, recalling what Chang i had said earlier.
