Zheng Ze Min was truly helpless and could only wait and see.
Zheng Ze Min had a bad premonition. Was his reputation for never losing a case going to end today?
He didn't care if this case was going to be lost. What he cared about was whether Yan Xi could survive this ordeal if she lost.
When they were in college, he knew that Yan Xi often worked part-time to earn money for her younger brother's medical expenses.
At that time, many of their classmates were curious why Yan Xi, the daughter of the Yan family, had to work to earn money for her brother's medical bills.
But it was hard for an upright official to settle a family dispute. No matter how curious they were, they wouldn't ask Yan Xi directly.
Today, seeing two identical boys in court claiming to be Yan Xi's brother, one siding with Yan Xi and the other not, was perplexing.
Ten minutes later, the forensic doctor presented the results to the judge.
The judge frowned after looking at them.
Because they were siblings, not father and son or mother and son, the results were somewhat imprecise.
Furthermore, both Yan Yi present had the same blood type, making it difficult for the judge to determine who the real Yan Yi was.
Fu Yan Ting explained the whole story in court.
However, the defense lawyer quickly questioned, "Mr. Fu, you say Ms. Yan is your wife and you understand her body well. However, our investigation shows that you divorced five years ago, and the reason for the divorce has not been explained. You are not remarried now, so you are not legally husband and wife. Therefore, what you are saying now cannot be used as evidence in court."
Fu Yan Ting frowned.
In fact, Fu Yan Ting could have stated in front of everyone that although he and Yan Xi had not remarried, they had always lived together.
But then he thought about it. The current lawsuit was about Yan Xi's alleged improper private life. If Fu Yan Ting really said that, people would surely question Yan Xi's promiscuity and even exaggerate it, which would cause her even more harm.
After much deliberation, Fu Yan Ting remained silent. He believed in Zheng Ze Min's professionalism. Zheng Ze Min had never lost a case in so many years, and even when he wasn't in a favorable position, his cases were always won.
Fu Yan Ting placed all his hopes on Zheng Ze Min.
Zheng Ze Min did not expect the other party to suddenly bring this up.
Hearing them say this, Zheng Ze Min frowned slightly.
Seeing that Zheng Ze Min remained silent, Fu Yan Ting couldn't help but ask, "Lawyer Zheng, why aren't you speaking?"
"Mr. Fu, it's not that I'm not speaking. The current situation is very unfavorable for Xi Xi. If I try to defend her at this moment, it will only solidify these scandals. We should wait and see for now. There's still some time before the end."
Hearing Zheng Ze Min say this, Fu Yan Ting didn't think he was trying to twist their words to attack them.
Fu Yan Ting thought that Zheng Ze Min didn't want to help Yan Xi win the case, or perhaps the funds provided by He Yun were not in place.
But he had already instructed Shen Hao Lin to give Zheng Ze Min a check. Why was Zheng Ze Min still in this attitude?
While Fu Yan Ting was in a state of confusion, Yan Yi looked at Yan Xi and suddenly said, "Sister, you and Mr. Fu are already divorced. Even if you know he is incredibly wealthy and you want to have a child to elevate your status, you shouldn't have done this. How will I be able to face anyone after this?"
Yan Xi looked up at the opposing Yan Yi. Although Yan Xi knew in her heart that this was not the real Yan Yi, and the real Yan Yi would not treat her this way, she didn't know why, when she heard his words and saw his face, Yan Xi's complexion still turned extremely pale.
The other party seemed not to notice Yan Xi's pale face.
He continued to persuade her, "Sister, I know it's difficult for you, but we can't treat Mr. Fu this way. It's unfair to him. Moreover, Mr. Fu is not that easy to deceive. Lies don't last forever. If Mr. Fu finds out the truth later, everyone will suffer."
Yan Yi's words, while seemingly trying to persuade Yan Xi, were actually stabbing her in the heart.
He knew very well that only by creating discord between Fu Yan Ting and Yan Xi would Fu Yan Ting not side with Yan Xi, and thus their handling of the matter would be smoother.
This lawsuit was not only to ruin Yan Xi's reputation but also to break the relationship between Yan Xi and Fu Yan Ting.
Therefore, they chose to attack from this angle.
After all, their investigation showed that five years ago, when Yan Xi first married Fu Yan Ting, Fu Yan Ting was still a vegetative state. To secure her position in the Fu family, Yan Xi chose artificial insemination and became pregnant with Fu Yan Ting's child.
Of course, when Fu Yan Ting woke up and learned that Yan Xi was pregnant with his child, he immediately forced Yan Xi to have an abortion.
This matter was no longer a secret in Yan City.
Later, Yan Xi failed to keep the child, and her relationship with Fu Yan Ting broke down, leading to their divorce.
Everything happened in one fell swoop.
Now, by bringing this up, they were undoubtedly escalating the topic to its climax.
After the defendant's party finished speaking, they presented these pieces of evidence to the judge.
The judge frowned after looking at them, glanced at Yan Xi, and asked, "Ms. Yan, is this true?"
Fu Yan Ting knew how devastating the loss of the child was to Yan Xi. He didn't want to hurt her and prepared to explain.
But as soon as Fu Yan Ting opened his mouth, the judge interrupted him.
The judge glanced at Fu Yan Ting and calmly said, "I am asking Ms. Yan. Everyone else, please be quiet."
Although Fu Yan Ting was wealthy and powerful in Yan City, this was a court. In court, the judge only followed the rules and showed no favoritism to anyone.
Fu Yan Ting suddenly regretted that he had harmed Yan Xi. If he could turn back time, he would not have chosen to divorce Yan Xi or forced her to abort the child.
He would have simply turned a blind eye, as long as the child was his and Yan Xi was safe.
"Your Honor, today's lawsuit is not about delving into my private life. Therefore, I have the right to remain silent."
Yan Xi was being relatively rational. She looked at the judge. If she did not answer truthfully, it would be lying to the judge, and the consequences would be dire.
But if she answered truthfully, she would be playing into their hands and proving that she was a woman who would go to any lengths to marry into a wealthy family and achieve her goals.
Therefore, the best course of action was to remain silent.
