Zhiming was about to continue scolding Bai Jing, when Granny Zhou spoke up. She glanced at Fang Xiu and then stopped Guangsheng, saying, "Guangsheng, let Bai Jing speak. Since everyone is here anyway, it’s good to clarify things."
Seeing Bai Jing about to eagerly continue, Fang Pingying deliberately interrupted, "Bai Jing, I advise you, it’s best to stay out of matters that don’t concern you. Otherwise, it could harm others as well as yourself. By not leaving a way out for others, you might also corner yourself to death."
Fang Pingying knew Bai Jing’s character and thus provoked her on purpose, hoping that the bigger the commotion Bai Jing caused, the sooner she would et her end.
Indeed, after hearing those words, a sinister smirk flashed across Bai Jing’s face as she said to Fang Pingying, "Fang Pingying, I know you have a way with words, and can twist death into life, but today I have both witnesses and evidence in hand. Let’s see what you can make of that."
Fang Pingying put on a façade of having nothing to say, and waved her hand at Bai Jing, "Go on then, Bai Jing, say whatever you want."
Bai Jing smiled smugly, and then slightly turned her body, beckoning Liu Junting who had been standing in a corner. Liu Junting walked to Bai Jing’s side like a loyal dog. Then Bai Jing turned to Fang Xiu, and with a mocking face, said, "Fang Xiu, rember this man? When you were with Luo Zhiming, you were also married to this man for a while, living together day and night. More precisely, he was your old fla."
As soon as Bai Jing finished speaking, the expressions of the Zhou family changed instantly as they looked at Fang Xiu. At this mont, Fang Xiu’s face turned deathly pale and she started to sway, barely managing to stand with Guangsheng’s support.
Seeing Fang Xiu like this delighted Bai Jing. This was exactly the effect she wanted.
She looked at Liu Junting and nodded, "Liu Junting, tell us about your ti together with Fang Xiu."
Liu Junting imdiately continued according to Bai Jing’s script, "Back then, Fang Xiu hadn’t divorced her husband yet, she was with , living and eating together for almost a month. She seed unsatisfied with her husband at that ti. We had a good relationship, and we..."
Liu Junting hadn’t finished speaking when Fang Xiu finally reacted. Desperate, she grabbed a stool nearby and smashed it over Liu Junting, hysterically shouting, "Liu Junting, why don’t you just die! You’ve ruined ..."
Seeing Fang Xiu’s near breakdown, Fang Ping imdiately went to hold her, pulling her close and whispering so words, telling her not to panic, assuring her that things would not end as badly as she feared.
Fang Xiu trusted Fang Ping. Cald slightly by her words, Fang Xiu sat down next to Fang Ping without saying anything more.
However, Zhou’s parents had noticed Fang Xiu’s actions. Granny Zhou imdiately frowned, glanced at Fang Xiu, and voiced her doubts to Zhou Guangsheng, "Is this true? That Fang Xiu could do such a thing?"
Before Zhou Guangsheng could respond, Bai Jing, puffing herself up, spoke again, "Mom and dad, this is just a minor matter. There’s sothing else you should know too."
"What... what is it?"
With the Fang sisters watching, Bai Jing paused dramatically before saying, "Fang Xiu’s son, Haohao. Did they tell you that the child was fathered by her forr husband Luo Zhiming, and after their divorce, Luo Zhiming didn’t want him, so Fang Xiu has been raising him alone?"
"Yes, yes," Granny Zhou imdiately nodded, as that was always the story from the Fang Family.
"In fact..." Bai Jing said, pausing deliberately, then looking at Zhou Yuni with a smile, "Aunt Zhou, why don’t you tell us what actually happened."
Fang Xiu, this vile woman, initially with us..." Zhou Yuni had always been harsh with her words, and no matter the circumstance, she liked to take center stage. She had been impatient waiting for her turn, and now that it ca, she eagerly rattled off how Fang Xiu had been avaricious and lazy back in the days with the Luo Family, adding fuel to the flas. When it ca to the point that Haohao was not Luo Zhiming’s son, her words were filled with grinding teeth and hatred, obvious to anyone listening.
If the words of Bai Jing and Liu Junting alone weren’t enough to convince Zhou’s parents, then Zhou Yuni’s embittered performance certainly swayed them.
Granny Zhou imdiately darkened her face, looking at Zhou Guangsheng and said, "Guangsheng, if that’s the case, then we really can’t accept Fang Xiu as our daughter-in-law. You two should separate. Later, I’ll find you a good, clean wife in the countryside, one who, even if poor, is at least honest."
Granny Zhou’s intentions were clear, implying Fang Xiu was neither clean nor honest, and that she was unsuitable for the Zhou Family.
Hearing this, Fang Xiu, in desperation, called out, "Mom..."
But before she could finish, Granny Zhou angrily retorted, "Don’t call Mom! Our Zhou family doesn’t have such a promiscuous daughter-in-law. I cannot bear that title from you, you can call soone else."
Fang Xiu, hurt by Granny Zhou’s blunt words, imdiately started crying.
Zhou Guangsheng, seeing this, quickly went to Fang Xiu’s side, holding her hand, then displeased, looked at Granny Zhou, "Mom, what are you talking about? You’ve lived with Fang Xiu for so long, don’t you know what kind of person she is? How can you just believe what people say without questioning?"
Granny Zhou frowned, pointing at Bai Jing and the others, "So many people have testified, how can it be false? Moreover, they even conducted a blood test on Haohao..."
Hearing this, Bai Jing imdiately instructed Luo Zhiming to show the Zhou family the test results, "Yes, these are the test results, you can see for yourself. They are absolutely correct."
Fang Pingying had been waiting for this mont when Bai Jing would produce the test results. When Bai Jing handed the test over, Fang Pingying quickly took it, pretending to be incredulous that there really was such a docunt, sowhat unnerved as she looked at Bai Jing, "Bai Jing, where did you get this test result?"
Bai Jing, thinking Fang Pingying was truly intimidated, proudly slapped the test result, "City People’s Hospital, it’s all written here, can’t you read?"
Fang Pingying examined it again, then uncertainly said, "So you’re sure this test won’t be wrong, and if it really goes to court, the judge would believe it?"
At that questioning by Fang Pingying, a flicker of fear crossed Bai Jing’s eyes; she knew the truth all too well.
