The moment the door was opened, Grandpa Li and Grandma Li became the focus of the whole audience.

The room is not big, but the color and decoration always show the majesty of the law. The judge, dressed very formally, sits in the main seat with a serious expression. Li's father and mother sit together on the left side of the long table, separated by several chairs, and their brows are full of irritation.

The person closest to the judge on the right side of the long table was Gu Yize, who was calmly organizing documents. Li Mingyang sat between him and Lu Zixiao with a complicated expression.

Xiaobao's eyes met his for only a brief second before they separated, but the flash of sadness in Li Mingyang's eyes still allowed him to catch a trace.

Grandpa Li and Grandma Li looked confused until they sat down. After Xiaobao and others went to the audience seats, the judge slowly spoke and announced the start of mediation.

When Gu Yize, the plaintiff's lawyer, slowly and steadily recounted the series of actions of Li's father and mother, the expressions of the two elderly people gradually changed from disbelief to shock, then to frowning and anger, and finally even their faces turned black.

Domestic violence, infidelity, immoral behavior, and prolonged mental stress on children...

They simply couldn't believe that these words were directed at their son and daughter-in-law, whom they had always been proud of.

It wasn't that long ago that neighbors were always praising them for their filial piety, saying they were good parenting parents, and that they were excellent in every way...

So this is all just a show for others?!

"Bang--"

After listening to everything Gu Yize said, Grandpa Li finally couldn't hold back his anger anymore. He slammed the table hard, pointed at Mr. and Mrs. Li sitting opposite him, and scolded loudly.

"You two irresponsible people, doing such heartless things, who are you really answering to?! Yangyang is such a good and good child. Even though he has suffered so much and endured so much pressure with you, he never told us. But you, as his biological parents, how could you have the heart to torture him like this!"

"Dad, there's no need to get so excited. Don't get sick from anger and blame us later," Li's mother said indifferently. "The reason we're sitting here and fighting to the death today is all because of your well-behaved grandson, isn't it?"

"What are you talking about!" Grandma Li said angrily. "If you hadn't gone so far, why would Yangyang choose to use the law to punish you? In the end, it's all because of you!"

Mother Li still had that gloomy look on her face. She waved her hands and said, "Okay, okay, okay. You two are older, so whatever you say is right. I won't argue with you. Anyway, the ultimate goal is for us to get a divorce. I agree."

"I agree," Father Li said indifferently, "Dad, Mom, at this point we've already made up our minds and there's nothing to hide. I was the one who cheated on her first, and I was the one who hit her first, but I don't think I was wrong. I didn't love her anymore, so I found someone else, and she was just being unreasonable and threatening me, so I hit her. That's it."

"Get the hell out of here!"

Grandpa Li got even angrier after hearing this and threw his cane at him. "Why the hell did I give birth to a beast like you! You hit a woman and cheated on her just because you didn't love her anymore, and you still think you're not doing anything wrong. Bah! You'll get your comeuppance, don't you? You're not even worthy of being a human being!!!"

The thrown crutch flew past Father Li's head. He glanced at Grandpa Li's trembling body, but didn't even pick it up. He just raised his hand to touch the scratched area and said nonchalantly: "Whatever, there are other options for you to marry after you leave me."

After saying that, he looked at the two elderly people whose faces were red with anger and added: "Please give me your household registration booklet when the time comes..."

"Get out!" Grandma Li's chest heaved violently as she gritted her teeth and said, "If you leave this door today, you will no longer be our son!"

"Get as far away from me as you can. Don't let me see you again. I'm too embarrassed to be here! You're shameless, but I still have my old face to protect!"

"Silence!" The judge slammed the gavel, and with the repeated dissuasion from Lu Zixiao and Li Mingyang, the escalating war was stopped.

"Now I'm going to ask the plaintiff and the defendant some questions. Are you ready?"

Mr. and Mrs. Li nodded, and Li Mingyang hummed softly.

"Defendant, since the two of you have long lost your feelings for each other and both of you know that you are having an affair, why are you still delaying the divorce?"

"We still have a lot of things to deal with," said Li's mother. "The division of property and child custody will be very troublesome."

"Is the matter settled now?"

"Now we're being forced into this situation by this ungrateful little bastard," Father Li said coldly. "We've been keeping this child with us for the past few years. Even though we kept it a secret until he noticed nothing, if we suddenly divorce, the question of who will raise him will inevitably arise. Then everyone around us will know about our divorce, and it will have a huge impact on our reputation."

Li's mother didn't even look at him, and continued on her own: "That's why we're madly investing money and resources into Li Mingyang's studies, desperate to see him excel. Even though he's still young, we want him to go abroad. After all, the reputation of a good parent is very popular in today's society, and it's a win-win for us."

This time, even the judge frowned, his gaze shifting again and again as he looked at them. "The plaintiff's complaint states that they suspect you intend to keep Li Mingyang abroad and then divorce him for respectable reasons. Is that true?"

"That's right," Father Li admitted directly and generously, "This way we can have no worries. Besides, there's no harm in going abroad for the child. Who knew he would resist so much? He's really ungrateful!"
