Chapter 18 Just how outrageous are the laws of the bizarre world?
The day the trial began was sunny and clear.
Sitting in the car, Wen Qi turned to look at Chen Baiting, who was dressed in a professional suit, and asked in a languid tone, "Attorney Chen, may I broadcast today's court hearing live?"
Chen Baiting adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, his expression meticulous and professional: "Ms. Wen, I'm sorry, but the court has clear regulations prohibiting live streaming of court proceedings. This involves judicial fairness and the privacy of the parties involved, and there is no room for leniency."
However, we can apply to the court to have the proceedings filmed and documented to record all details of the trial.
You are also permitted to arrange for someone accompanying you to take photos as evidence that may be used later.
Wen Qi raised an eyebrow: "Okay."
It's okay if we can't do a live stream, just film it and keep it as a record.
She wanted to see just how outrageous the laws of this mad world really were.
The car stopped in front of the courthouse, and Wen Qi straightened her haute couture dress.
Her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and the big waves accentuated her graceful figure. She wore a pair of retro black sunglasses.
It concealed some of the sharpness in her eyes, but it couldn't hide the aggressiveness brought by her fiery red lips.
He exuded an air of nobility, hardly resembling someone who had come to litigate.
She was clearly going to attend a top-tier red carpet event; her aura was so powerful that people dared not look directly at her.
At the entrance of the courthouse, almost the entire Lu and Wen families were present.
Both sides looked unfriendly.
Lu Zhenhua's face was gloomy.
Wang Cui was wearing a cheongsam, her face was sarcastic, and her eyes were full of resentment; she was clearly seething with anger.
Lu Zhenbang also arrived, accompanied by his second wife, Zhao Wan.
Zhao Wan's face was covered with obvious scars, bruises and welts, which even thick foundation couldn't completely cover.
Her eyes were full of timidity, and she clung tightly to Lu Zhenbang, not daring to look up at him.
Lu Jisheng was dressed in a black suit, his eyes filled with malice.
On the Wen family's side, Wen Changming came alone. He hadn't been able to contact Wen Qi for several days, and he was obviously so anxious that he hadn't slept well. His face looked extremely pale.
Wen Wen's mother, Fang Xue, also secretly arrived.
She wrapped her head in a thick black scarf and wore oversized black sunglasses that covered almost half of her face.
Wearing an inconspicuous black coat, he huddled in a corner.
She was afraid of being recognized, after all, Wen Wen was being vilified by the entire internet, and as her mother, she didn't dare to be too flamboyant.
The Lu and Wen families were on edge from the moment they met; no one had a friendly expression, and their eyes were full of hostility.
Lu Zhenhua's face was gloomy, and he remained silent, clearly suppressing the anger in his heart.
Lu Zhenbang was already short-tempered, and after Wen Qi exposed his family's dirty secrets, he is now ridiculed wherever he goes.
Seeing Wen Changming now, she couldn't hold back any longer and rushed forward angrily, pointing her finger at his nose and shouting, "Wen Changming, look at your good daughter! You've made things this bad, ruined the reputation of our Lu family, and even sued us in court. Did you do this on purpose?"
Wen Changming was already upset because of the sharp drop in Wen's stock price and the pressure from shareholders.
He was instantly angered by Lu Zhenbang's criticism.
A forced smile played on her lips, her tone dripping with sarcasm: "You still have the nerve to say that? It's all because your Lu family went too far, driving Wen Qi to the brink of despair that she did all this. If your Lu family had treated her well, things wouldn't have come to this."
"This is outrageous! Wen Changming, how dare you say that!" Lu Zhenbang trembled with rage, pointing at Wen Changming's nose, his words sharp and cutting. "Your illegitimate daughter, Wen Wen, is shameless to the core, and your legitimate daughter, both of them are practically begging to be with our Lu family!"
"You're a mistress who relentlessly pursued her lover, and you still have the nerve to say we forced you to? It's clearly your Wen family daughter who has no shame!"
These words were like a sharp knife, piercing Wen Changming's heart.
Wen Changming's face instantly turned bright red, and he trembled with anger. He opened his mouth, but couldn't find the words to refute.
Lu Zhenbang was telling the truth; Wen Qi and Wen Wen are both his daughters.
One was favored by him, and the other was ignored by him, but now they are both involved with the Lu family.
One caused a huge uproar, the other was infamous; what right did he, as the father, have to refute it?
Lu Zhenhua finally spoke up: "Chairman Wen, there's no need for children to take their squabbles to court. If word gets out, it won't do either the Lu or Wen families any good."
"Chairman Wen, you should really persuade Wen Qi to drop the lawsuit. We can resolve this privately."
Wen Changming had never been so humiliated in his life.
Wen Qi's current actions are like those of a madwoman; she completely disobeys his orders.
Suppressing his anger, he couldn't utter a single word, only clenching his fists tightly, his face extremely pale.
Upon seeing this, Wang Cui's lips curled into a sarcastic smile.
He stepped forward, looking at Wen Changming with disdain and mockery: "Chairman Wen, I'd like to ask you, which daughter do you truly care about more?"
Wen Changming pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.
He was, of course, more concerned about Wen Wen.
Wen Qi was just his daughter with his deceased wife; in his eyes, she was never important.
"Of course he cares more about Wen Wen."
A cold, mocking voice came through.
Everyone instinctively turned their heads to look and were all stunned.
Wen Qi walked over, followed by Chen Baiting.
He was also accompanied by four tall, imposing bodyguards.
There was also a criminal recorder accompanying them, carrying a video camera, filming every move at the scene.
The group was large and imposing, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Wen Qi wore a custom-made gown, and her retro black glasses made her face look small.
Her fiery red lips exuded a strong sense of aggression, and her entire being radiated an aura of "not to be trifled with."
She was completely different from the docile, timid, and easily manipulated Wen Qi of the past.
Lu Jisheng was also taken aback, staring at Wen Qi with amazement in his eyes.
He had never seen Wen Qi dressed like this before.
Wen Qi usually goes out without makeup, her eyes are gentle, and even though she is very beautiful, she still has a bit of timidity.
Today, Wen Qi is stunningly beautiful.
That kind of beauty wasn't gentle; it was aggressive, like a rose with thorns.
It makes people afraid to get close, yet they can't help but be attracted.
His heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, only to be replaced by intense anger—
This woman shouldn't think that she can get his attention this way.
Wen Qi walked up to the crowd and gently touched the black-rimmed glasses on her face.
His gaze swept over the Lu family and Wen Changming, and he spoke clearly and forcefully, each word distinct: "Old Deng cares about Wen Wen, and your Lu family cares about Wen Wen too. I'm here today to make room for the person you care about."
"Let's go, stop standing around. The sooner we resolve this lawsuit, the sooner the person you care about can take over."
