Mu Hibiscus's father was a leader in the legal profession, and she also had many senior brothers who were well-known in the legal profession, but she herself did not go to court once.

In the past, she didn't study lawyer, so she didn't have the opportunity to go to court with her father to see his father's demeanor.

Later, she had the opportunity to go to court again, after all, Lin Chenxi and Fang Yicheng were in court because of the case of allegedly murdering her and her father, and she was completely able to appear in court as the plaintiff.

But at that time, she was told that she had Alzheimer's disease, so she had to go to Germany, so she missed the trial, so that she didn't see Lin Chenxi and Fang Yicheng's dog-eat-dog 'demeanor' in court.

Therefore, the thirty-year-old hibiscus, as the only daughter of barrister An Zhengrong, has never been to court once, and has not witnessed the demeanor of a judge once, which makes her feel a little regretful in her heart.

So, Bai Huirong was suspected of kidnapping her and Wu You, and when Bai Tingting was suspected of pouring sulfuric acid on her, she happened to be in Bincheng, so she planned to go to the court once to see the judge's demeanor and meet Bai Tingting and Bai Huirong.

At the beginning of the trial on March 12, Huang Ruizhi called her in advance and asked her if she wanted to appear in court, and she immediately said yes, because she was free in the past few days, and she was still going with her senior brother, and she also wanted to witness her senior brother's eloquent demeanor in court.

It's a pity that Wu You, who originally decided to attend, couldn't appear in court because he had just gotten married and was now going to South Africa for his honeymoon.

Three days ago, she called her teacher and mother-in-law Wu You and told her that the court would be held today, Wu You sighed regret in the phone, saying that for so many years, she was looking forward to seeing what kind of demeanor Bai Huirong is now, who would have thought that the court would choose to hold the trial at this time, so that she missed such a good opportunity.

Wu You missed the opportunity, but Hibiscus didn't miss it, so she felt that she would appear in court on time this afternoon.

In the morning, Shi Yan also asked her if she really planned to appear in court? Do you want him to come with her?

Of course, she really planned to appear in court, but she didn't want Shi Yan to accompany her, after all, she was the plaintiff, and the two defendants, Bai Huirong and Bai Tingting, had a lot to do with Shi Yan.

Although Shi Yan has always refused to call Bai Huirong's mother, and has always called Aunt Rong, no one can deny that Bai Huirong is Shi Yan's stepmother, and she used to be quite good to Shi Yan.

After Shi Yan lingered with her last night, he hugged her and sighed: "Aunt Rong is indeed a junior, which ruined the marriage between my father and my mother, but after Aunt Rong married my father, she did fulfill her responsibilities as a mother to me, at least in my case, she did not stage the image of a vicious stepmother, although she is always very fake." ”

"Do you want me to come with you?" At noon, when she was about to go out at Shuangmu Company, Mu Feng asked her with a smile: "One more person may be able to cheer you on." ”

She laughed out loud when she heard this, saying that she didn't need to cheer for this, because her senior brother Huang Ruizhi, as her lawyer, stood by her side, which was already majestic enough, and Huang Ruizhi was a well-known barrister in the legal profession.

Hibiscus didn't need anyone to accompany her, and there was no one on the plaintiff's side, because she didn't even think about who to accompany her.

However, when she arrived at the court, she found that Bai Huirong and Bai Tingting were really a lot of observers.

Let's not mention that Bai Zhenshan came from Beijing, even Bai Huirong's younger brother and sister-in-law are also here, and of course there are some people she doesn't know, who must be relatives of the Bai family or something.

She walked in with Huang Ruiyi, and when she saw Bai Zhenshan, she was obviously stunned, and then out of politeness, she still walked over and shouted "Grandpa" naturally.

Bai Zhenshan replied with a cold face, and then stopped looking at her, thinking that he was very dissatisfied with her refusal to compromise and give in, and he had to pursue Bai Huirong and Bai Tingting to the end, so that he went to court.

Mu Hibiscus didn't bother too much with Bai Zhenshan, after all, Bai Zhenshan is in his eighties, at such an age, he originally wanted to see his children and grandchildren full of people, but now he saw his children and grandchildren go to court, and they are still standing in the defendant's seat, which makes no one happy.

Mu Hibiscus returned to his position as a plaintiff, and Huang Ruizhi smiled and said to her: "I'll give you a preventive shot in advance, if their sentence is very light or suspended, don't be surprised, because I can only speak from your perspective as much as possible, but I have no right to sentence on behalf of the judge." ”

Mu Hibiscus nodded, indicating that she understood, after all, she is the daughter of a lawyer, even if she has not studied lawyer since she was a child, she has more or less heard of this aspect, the law is a thing, it is said to be fair, but this fairness has always been relative, because this society has never had absolute fairness.

She is the plaintiff, and although her identity is Shi Yan's wife and the daughter-in-law of Shi Hongfeng, the current secretary of the municipal party committee, the defendant is even older than her, that is, the daughter and granddaughter of Commander Bai, and Bai Huirong is also the wife of the secretary of the Bincheng City Party Committee.

Bai Huirong and Bai Tingting entered the court ten minutes before the trial.

Bai Tingting was wearing a hat, the brim was pressed very low, and her face was covered with a pink silk scarf, and the whole person was dressed like a Hui girl.

And Bai Huirong is not so lucky, although she is wearing long pants, although she came in in a wheelchair, but her empty trouser legs can still make people see at a glance that she is missing a leg.

When the two women came in, their eyes looking at the hibiscus were naturally full of resentment and viciousness, and their cold and vicious gazes were like sharp swords, eager to pierce the hibiscus into a thousand holes.

For Bai Huirong and Bai Tingting to look at her, Hibiscus was not surprised at all, because these two women fell to this step in the field today, and they all have something to do with her.

To Mu Hibiscus's surprise, Bai Huirong looked at Bai Tingting's gaze, which was clearly the gaze of the enemy of life and death, and when Bai Huirong saw Bai Tingting, it was obvious that she wanted to eat Bai Tingting alive before she could relieve her hatred.

This really puzzled her, Bai Huirong and Bai Tingting are aunts and nephews, and Bai Huirong's crimes are all for Bai Tingting, it is said that these two people should be allies, how can they become enemies at this time?

"It seems that my two defendants are not on the same front?" Mu Hibiscus said to Huang Ruizhi beside him with his feelings: "Could it be that I am wrong? Is it my delusion? ”

Huang Ruizhi smiled, looked at her sideways and said, "Come on, junior sister, you better look at your own lawsuit and the reply of the two of them, how can we have the energy to care about the matter between them?" ”

Mu Hibiscus thinks about it, Bai Huirong and Bai Tingting love each other, in short, she is now the plaintiff, she wants to sue the two of them, as for what the two people want, it has nothing to do with her.

Just when Mu Hibiscus was about to look down at Bai Huirong and Bai Tingting's reply, there was a *** movement at the door, she turned her head to look at the door, and couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out that it was Wu You and Cheng Haoxiang who came.

"Mom, Uncle Cheng," Mu Hibiscus immediately stood up and beckoned to Wu You and Cheng Haoxiang, and when Wu You approached, he said excitedly: "Mom, didn't you say you couldn't come back?" ”

"Well, I was going to visit the Oryx National Park in South Africa, but then the time is really not enough," Wu You smiled and sat down in the plaintiff's position, then glanced at the defendant opposite, and then said with a smile: "However, I think that there will be a chance to see the South African Oryx National Park in the future, because Hao Xiang and I will go to South Africa to see crape myrtle flowers in October, so it doesn't matter if we don't go to Oryx National Park this time,"

Wu You paused when he said this, stared at Bai Huirong, who was in a wheelchair in the defendant's seat, and said with a smile: "However, Mrs. Shi's demeanor as a defendant in the court, Wu You didn't want to miss it, so I rushed back." ”

Wu You's voice was not low when he said this, of course, the entire court was not very big, and the court had not yet opened, so Wu You not only heard Bai Huirong's words, but also Bai Huirong's observer Bai family.

"Xiao You must rush back, of course I can't ignore her meaning, everything is based on my wife's words as the highest instruction," Cheng Haoxiang took Wu You's words on the side and said with a smile: "So I immediately booked the fastest flight, no, we still took a taxi directly from the airport, for fear of missing Mrs. Shi's demeanor in court." ”

Bai Huirong was obviously stunned when she heard Cheng Haoxiang's words, if she heard correctly, just now Cheng Haoxiang said a sentence that everything is based on his wife's words as the highest instruction, and this sentence fully conveyed a message to her, that is, this man is Wu You's husband.

How is this possible? She only stayed in the detention center for three months, and this Wu You actually got married?

She and Shi Hongfeng have been divorced for 30 years, she didn't get married sooner or later, but she got married within these three months, which is too strange, right?

Could it be that she hasn't been married for the past 30 years, isn't she waiting for Shi Hongfeng?

Bai Huirong's gaze hit Wu You's face directly, which made it impossible for Wu You to ignore her, not to mention, Wu You didn't plan to ignore her, did he?

"How is Madame Shi doing?" Wu You looked at Bai Huirong opposite with a radiant face, cleared his throat and greeted Bai Huirong with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many days, Mrs. Shi has been a lot more beautiful recently, Mr. Shi should like Mrs. Shi more and more, right?" ”

Wu You's words were asked lightly, but Bai Huirong was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

The current Bai Huirong entered the detention center not long after her thigh amputation, and in the detention center, even if she paid for her own food, it was impossible for her to have the life she once had in the Shi family compound.

What's more, she can't accept that kind of environment at all, and she is disabled, she has to use plastic buckets to urinate and defecate in the detention center, and she is often ridiculed, thinking about how to avoid ridicule and how to use her identity to suppress/suppress others every day, where is the time and mood to dress up?

Besides, her skin used to be all made of high-end nutrition and high-end cosmetics and beauty salons, but in the detention center, these things naturally no longer exist.

She is in the detention center, it is good to be able to wash her face with cold water twice a day, and the rest of the maintenance or something, it is simply impossible, even if she is Mrs. Shi, she has a separate room, she can't do it.

Today's Bai Huirong has no luster on her face a few months ago, and because of the rapid weight loss, the yellow muscles on her entire face are thin, and a lot of wrinkles have also increased.

At this time, Bai Huirong not only does not look younger than her actual age, but only older than her actual age, although she is only fifty-three years old, five years younger than Wu You, but she looks ten years older than Wu You?

Fifty-three-year-old Bai Huirong looks like she is fifty-six or seventeen years old, while fifty-eight-year-old Wu You, who is bathed in happiness, looks only forty-five or sixteen years old.

Bai Huirong looked at the man next to Wu You, and was about to ask Wu You if she was her husband, but at this time, the clerk came in and began to count the list of people who appeared in court, so she also blocked Bai Huirong's mouth.

"Brother, what are you still sitting here for?" Shi Lei walked into Shi Yan's office and saw Shi Yan leaning on the chair and kneading his forehead, and asked puzzledly: "Didn't you accompany your sister-in-law to court?" ”

"No," Shi Yan glanced at Shi Lei, and said a little irritably: "I originally planned to accompany her, but yesterday my grandmother called/called me, saying that although Aunt Rong is not good in every way, she is not bad to me in the end, and Bai Zhenshan has always regarded me as a nephew, and Bai Zhenshan will go to audit today, so"

Shi Lei nodded, expressing his understanding, Bai Huirong's family really didn't say anything to Shi Yan, and Shi Yan accompanied Mu Hibiscus to appear in court at this time, not to mention that it would stimulate Bai Huirong and Bai Tingting, and at the same time, it would also stimulate Bai Zhenshan, who was in his eighties.

"Then do you want to pick up your cousin later?" Shi Lei thought about it and asked, but without waiting for Shi Yan to answer, he replied by himself: "I guess I won't go, right?" It is said that my cousin drove over by herself. ”

"How do you know she's driving over?" Shi Yan couldn't help but be surprised, and stared at Shi Lei with wide eyes: "You sent someone to follow Hibiscus?" ”

"Go, who's so boring?" Shi Lei smiled, looked at his cousin and explained: "It's Gu Xue's girl, she grew up with Tingting, and she often played together when she was a child. ”

"You mean Gu Xue went in to audit?" Shi Yan looked at Shi Lei with wide eyes, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "She went in as Bai Tingting's relatives and friends to observe?" ”

"She went, but she didn't go to the court," Shi Lei couldn't help laughing, looked at the nervous Shi Yan and said: "Don't be so nervous, Gu Xue is not without measure, she began to want to go in to listen because she thought that her sister-in-law would not appear in court, because she had always said that her sister-in-law had carte blanche to entrust her lawyer, but she changed her mind immediately after finding her sister-in-law's car at the door of the court, and then she didn't go in." ”

"Oh, that's okay," Shi Yan let out a long sigh of relief, and straightened the tie around his neck with his hand and said: "Aunt Rong and Tingting have enough people to listen today, Bai Zhenshan's father and son are here, not to mention, there are also some relatives of the Bai family, their formation is big enough, Gu Xue doesn't need to go to the Bai family to make up more people." ”

"Well, that's right," Shi Lei nodded, and then said slowly: "Only my sister-in-law is alone, except for a lawyer's group of relatives and friends, there is not even a single person to cheer, and my sister-in-law has not told her mother." ”

"I know what to say, don't talk nonsense here," Shi Yan waved his hand, signaling Shi Lei to hurry out.

"I originally thought that my sister-in-law was going to fight alone," Shi Lei yawned and stretched, and then said casually: "Who would have thought that there were less than ten minutes before the trial, and Professor Wu actually arrived, and he arrived with his new husband."

"What, my mom is back?" Shi Yan immediately stood up from his seat, looked at Shi Lei in front of him and asked, "Is your news accurate?" Who told you? ”

"Except for Gu Xue's girl who is waiting outside the court, who else told me the latest news?" After Shi Lei said this, he turned around and walked towards the door, and when he saw Shi Yan also walking out, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother, where are you going?" ”

"Go to the courthouse," Shi Yan said, and the person had already walked out of the office and quickly walked towards the VIP elevator.

"Brother, the court has already been held, and you can't get in now," Shi Lei hurriedly caught up, looked at him and said with a smile: "If you go to pick her up, then it may be a little early to go now." ”

"Then I'll wait for her, right?" Shi Yan glared at Shi Lei, really, when did he become so gossipy.

Shi Lei glared at him unconvinced, and couldn't help muttering when he entered the elevator: "If I hadn't told you these things, you would still be sitting in the office scratching your head." ”

And here, in the courtroom, the debate between the lawyers on both sides has entered a white heat.

Bai Tingting did not have a lawyer, because Bai Zhenshan was so disappointed in Bai Tingting that he was heartbroken, so he didn't hire a lawyer for Bai Tingting at all.

But Bai Huirong has a lawyer, and she is also a barrister from Beijing, whose reputation is far above Huang Ruizhi, and it is said that she has never been defeated in a lawsuit.

Mu Hibiscus and Wu You believe that Bai Huirong is the main culprit who kidnapped them and should bear the main responsibility, while the driver is of course an accomplice and is jointly and severally liable.

However, Bai Huirong's lawyer believes that there is another hidden reason in the case of kidnapping Wu You and An Mujin, and Bai Huirong does not have to bear the main responsibility, but Bai Tingting should bear the main responsibility, because Bai Huirong's purpose in kidnapping Wu You and An Mujin is to let Wu You and An Mujin withdraw Bai Tingting's case and not pursue Bai Tingting's criminal responsibility.

At the same time, Bai Huirong's lawyer repeatedly emphasized that Bai Huirong's actions in the kidnapping of Wu You and An Mujin were all instructed by Bai Tingting, because Bai Tingting was unwilling to splash sulfuric acid on An Mujin's face instead of splashing it on her face, so she had such a vicious intention.

Bai Huirong's lawyer's debate in the court was something that Mu Hibiscus and Huang Ruizhi did not expect, and Bai Tingting did not expect it, because in everyone's opinion, Wu You and An Mu Hibiscus are the plaintiffs, and the defendant's lawyer should be aimed at the plaintiff, and it is impossible to also target the party that is also the defendant.

"How can you squirt blood?" Bai Tingting roared angrily at Bai Huirong, and because she was too excited, the silk scarf on her face also shook and trembled.

"When did I get bloody?" Bai Huirong looked at the excited Bai Tingting, and couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in her heart, but suddenly thought of what she had done to herself in the hospital ward, and that pity was annihilated in an instant.

Bai Tingting's pouring of sulfuric acid is the crime of intentional wounding, and the crime of intentional injury is less than three years, and Bai Tingting's sulfuric acid was not splashed on An Mujian's face at all, but on her own face, her act of intentionally hurting people is established, but because it is too light, it is estimated that she will be sentenced to imprisonment or something at most.

According to the crime of kidnapping, she must be sentenced to more than 10 years in prison or life imprisonment, and a fine or confiscation of property.

She is not afraid of fines and confiscation of property or anything, what she is afraid of is the more than ten years of fixed-term imprisonment, she is now a cripple, if she has to drag this crippled body to go to prison for more than ten years, then her life is not over?

And her purpose in kidnapping Wu You and An Mujin was to save Bai Tingting, but in the end, Bai Tingting not only didn't know how to be grateful, but also poisoned her and wanted to kill her, how could she let go of such a daughter?

Therefore, at the suggestion of the lawyer, she thought of putting all the responsibility on Bai Tingting's head, when Bai Tingting poisoned her in the hospital ward, she had to amputate her leg later, and the hospital's surveillance also had video.

Anyway, Bai Tingting has to go to jail, because Bai Tingting committed intentional homicide by poisoning her, in that case, why didn't she let Bai Tingting's crime add more?

She gave birth to Bai Tingting and raised Bai Tingting, but in the end it ended up with this result, and now it is natural to let Bai Tingting take the blame for her in the past.
