Chapter 273 Do you believe it?
Wen Lan put the agreement on the table, her voice dim, "Give it back to Xie Yansheng."
"I'm sorry, Lanlan. I shouldn't have brought this thing to disgust you!" Zhou Qiao quickly stuffed the agreement into her handbag, saying guiltily, "Xie Zhazha went to my house last night. He knew I wouldn't give him a good face, so he asked my dad to come forward-"
"Don't blame you." Wen Lan patted Zhou Qiao's shoulder and forced a weak smile, "The second trial will be tomorrow morning."
"When are you going to the provincial capital?" Zhou Qiao asked hurriedly, "I'll go with you."
"The flight is at 3 pm, Lao Jiang will go with me, you should stay at TT. I've been busy with trivial matters recently and often skip work. I'm really sorry." Wen Lan shook her head embarrassedly.
"You're being polite to me!" Zhou Qiao had heard the hidden message in her words and started gossiping, "Is this the rhythm of preparing to go on with Lao Jiang?"
She leaned on the desk in front of the window, stunned for a moment, and murmured: "He did so much for me without asking for anything in return, I can't help but have some thoughts. He saved me when I was kidnapped by Zhao Meimei's people a few years ago. If he hadn't appeared in time a while ago, my face would have been ruined by Ye Hongzhi-"
"If you can ignore the age difference and his son, he is indeed a warm man suitable for life." Zhou Qiao said with relief.
"He doesn't mind the baby in my belly, and I have no right to blame him for having a son. Now, he and I are even." Wen Lan smiled bitterly, "Just don't think about the age difference."
"Are you really going to get married?" Zhou Qiao was shocked.
"He and I have both been married once, and we don't care much about love. As long as the personalities of both parties can get along well, it's also good to skip love and go straight into marriage." Wen Lan pretended to be relaxed.
Zhou Qiao's eyes were full of longing, "I hope Lao Jiang can double the compensation you didn't get in your last marriage."
Jiangcheng is only more than 300 kilometers away from the provincial capital. Wen Lan and Jiang Jingci landed in the provincial capital at 4 pm.
Jiang Jingci had already booked a good hotel near the Provincial High Court.
After checking in, Wen Lan learned that Jiang Jingci had booked five rooms.
She, Jiang Jingci, Lao Qiu, and Lao Qiu's two assistants, each in one room.
All the rooms are spacious suites. She quietly calculated the price and immediately became uneasy.
When Jiang Jingci handed over the room card, he saw through her thoughts at a glance and said indirectly, "I am now your boyfriend who is going to get married. It is natural for me to treat you well. Don't say anything that hurts my heart."
"Then don't say it." She didn't want to make Jiang Jingci angry, so she smiled and answered, but after returning to the room, she still wrote down today's expenses in the memo of her mobile phone.
Just as she was about to pack her suitcase, her mobile phone rang.
Seeing the name "Xie Yansheng" flashing on it, her heart twitched fiercely.
After the divorce, she had blacklisted Xie Yansheng's contact information several times.
But since Xie Yansheng accompanied her to send Ji Minxin away, and the two of them spent a few days in Meicheng, she could no longer bear to blacklist this number!
Now, Xie Yansheng has Mrs. Xie, and she has Jiang Jingci. The two are like two parallel lines spreading in their respective circles of life, and there is no intersection anymore...
She stared at Xie Yansheng's mobile phone number in a daze, until the third call came, she trembled and pressed the answer button.
"If the compensation in the agreement cannot satisfy you, then I will double it." Xie Yansheng's deep voice was full of resentment.
It turned out that Xie Yansheng still didn't give up!
She was full of bitterness and resentment in her throat, and suddenly she didn't know where to start.
"Wen Lan, I don't want to see you and my mother go to court!" Xie Yan suddenly growled, "Give up the second trial, no matter what you ask, I can agree to it!"
"Are you afraid that if you lose the case, Ye Hongzhi will be held legally responsible, and your Xie family will not be able to hold their heads up in front of the An family?" Wen Lan laughed coldly.
"No!" Xie Yansheng shouted coldly, "It has nothing to do with the surname An! If I say it's for you and me, do you believe it?"
"Do you think I will believe it?" She laughed so hard that tears came out, "Why didn't you pay money to settle with me during the first trial, because you knew that the lawyer I hired couldn't beat you! Now you heard that Qiu Ping came to fight for me, you are angry, right?"
"Jiang Jingci really took care of you to invite Qiu Ping out." Xie Yansheng's tone was full of coldness, "What kind of deal did you make with Jiang Jingci?"
"Jiang Jingci is not as shameless as you! He helped me again and again and never asked for anything in return!" She angrily said, "Xie Yansheng, listen carefully, unless I die, I will never give up the second trial!"
Xie Yansheng immediately fell silent.
Ten seconds later, Wen Lan took the initiative to end the call.
She held the phone in one hand, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
When Qiu Ping came to the hotel with two assistants, it was already dark.
Jiang Jingci had already booked dinner at the hotel where he was staying. The food was very high-end and several bottles of fine liquor were prepared, but Qiu Ping and his friends only ate and did not drink.
Qiu Ping said that he never drank before participating in the trial.
After coming down from the table, Qiu Ping called his assistant and Wen Lan into the room, guessed the various situations that would appear in the court tomorrow, and told Wen Lan which direction to respond.
Wen Lan performed it in front of Qiu Ping, Qiu Ping pointed out the shortcomings in it, and Wen Lan wrote them down one by one.
The assistant also sorted out the notes of Wen Lan and Jiang Jingci at the time of the incident.
The court will open tomorrow, and Jiang Jingci will serve as the first witness to testify for Wen Lan.
It was eleven o'clock in the evening when Qiu Ping collected all the information, and they went back to their rooms to rest.
Before Wen Lan went to bed, she saw a message from Jiang Jingci on WeChat: Just work hard, don't worry too much about the results, and have a good sleep.
This message made her feel at ease.
What Wen Lan didn't expect was that at 8:30 in the morning, as soon as they came out of the hotel elevator and prepared to attend the trial, Xie Yansheng pushed Ye Hongzhi, who was sitting in a wheelchair, out of the elevator opposite!
To be precise, Ye Hongzhi's lawyer team and nanny were also accompanying them.
Because this was a criminal case, Ye Hongzhi had to appear in court as the defendant.
They were so powerful that there were at least nine of them, if not ten, and their momentum immediately overshadowed Wen Lan's side!
Wen Lan and Xie Yansheng's eyes met across an aisle.
What Wen Lan found ironic was that the two of them were both wearing black windbreakers and white shirts today. If you didn't know, you might think they were deliberately matching couple outfits.
Xie Yansheng looked tired, his eyes were like knives, and he fell on her fiercely!
She was neither humble nor arrogant, and looked at Xie Yansheng with a mocking look on her lips——
