Only when fighting for child custody would Wen Shu's emotions be strongly expressed, as if all her anger was concentrated in her eyes.

The custody battle for Wen Rou Rou has officially begun.

The night before the trial, Lin Jingyu specifically sought out Shen Jingyao and Lin Yiyu, saying that her fiancé would be visiting the Lin family that day.

It was only then that Shen Jingyao and Lin Yiyu realized that the timing of Lin Jingyu's marriage partner's visit and the custody battle with Wen Shu overlapped.

Shen Jingyao and Lin Yiyu exchanged a glance. "Oh no, our lawsuit is also on the 23rd. What do we do if the dates overlap?"

Lin Jingyu heard it, but she pretended not to.

She clung to Shen Jingyao's arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, you promised to be home on the 23rd. Why did you suddenly say something was wrong?"

"No, you and Dad have to be home. You have to keep your word, you promised me. What could be more important than me bringing my girlfriend home?"

Shen Jingyao frowned. What should they do? They had forgotten something so important.

Lin Jingyu held Shen Jingyao's arm and shook it, insisting that the time could not be changed, and said that the other party had turned down other important things to specifically set the time for today.

Changing the date the day before a meeting would upset anyone; it would feel like the meeting was being treated too lightly.

Even if she gets married to her boyfriend, will she have a good life in her in-laws' house?

Shen Jingyao was clearly aware of this, which is why she seemed so troubled at the moment.

But who are Shen Jingyao and her husband? They're businessmen!

As successful businesspeople, the couple may not be able to be perfect in every aspect of their arrangements, but they would never allow their mistakes to cause their first meeting to fail.

Therefore, Shen Jingyao reacted immediately. She reached out and patted Lin Jingyu's hand, smiling as she said, "That means we shouldn't change the time. How can we change the time for something so important?"

"After all, it's your boyfriend's first time visiting. Your dad, your brother, and I will definitely be there. The rest of the family might not be able to make it back in time, but they will all be back on your wedding day."

Lin Jingyu was immediately filled with smugness. Wen Shu still wanted to get outside help?

Stand alone in court, all by yourself, as the defendant!

Ideally, her son would be taken away, and she wouldn't get anything she wanted!

The thought that Shen Jingyao and Lin Yiyu would not attend the court hearing for Wen Shu's custody battle made Lin Jingyu feel exceptionally relieved.

Wen Shu deserved it!

She's fighting against herself—does she even deserve it? Has she ever truly defeated herself?

Lin Jingyu's smugness was too obvious, which made Shen Jingyao pause for a moment. Shen Jingyao didn't understand why Jingyu would show such an expression. She seemed very smug. Was it because she had promised her not to change the time?

Lin Yiyu also noticed Lin Jingyu's gaze. He paused for a moment and frowned slightly.

Lin Han had mentioned Jing Yu's recent unusual behavior to him before, and Cai Qian had also casually mentioned it, but Lin Yiyu hadn't taken it to heart.

Both he and Shen Jingyao are sentimental people. It's impossible for them to abandon their daughter just because they know Lin Jingyu isn't their biological daughter. Their ideal situation is to reunite Wen Shu, but they also don't want to give up on the daughter they've raised for over twenty years.

Lin Jingyu's mother is that kind of person, and she can't give Lin Jingyu a complete family. Wen Shu is living away from home, and her grandmother is not young. She will pass away one day. How will Wen Shu live with a child by herself then?

If they could bring Wen Shu back, the Lin family would be overjoyed. This was the ideal situation for Lin Yiyu and Shen Jingyao.

But when they saw the overt smugness in Lin Jingyu's eyes, the couple were both taken aback.

What is Jingyu so smug about? And who is that faint gloating in her eyes directed at?

No matter how they thought about it, the couple felt somewhat uncomfortable.

But the couple had been through a lot, so neither of them showed any particular surprise.

Shen Jingyao smiled and said to Lin Jingyu, "Jingyu, don't worry. I've already told the housekeepers to cook extra dishes tonight. We absolutely can't let the Lin family lose face. We'll make sure to entertain your boyfriend properly, okay?"

Lin Jingyu was taken aback. "Mom, why is it in the evening? Wasn't it supposed to be at noon?"

Shen Jingyao also said with a surprised look: "Of course it's evening. On such an important day, we must choose evening. It doesn't matter how late we eat."

"Besides, when your partner arrives, they'll be drinking and can't drive, so why don't you stay overnight to get some rest and help the two families get closer!"

"Besides, your brother has to attend a parent-teacher conference for Tuantuan this afternoon. You just finished eating, and your brother is rushing off to attend a parent-teacher conference. What do you think your girlfriend will think? She might even feel that your brother, her brother-in-law, doesn't care about her at all. Don't you think so?"

Lin Jingyu was stunned by Shen Jingyao's words and didn't respond for a long time.

She was speechless, unsure how to refute Shen Jingyao's words. She had always thought it was noon, and she was convinced that it was noon.

Only at noon could they achieve their goal of stopping Shen Jingyao and Lin Yiyu from going to court.

How did it suddenly turn into night?

The problem is that they hadn't confirmed beforehand whether it was noon or evening; they only said it would be the 23rd.

What to do now? Now that Shen Jingyao is nitpicking this word, Lin Jingyu has no words to refute it.

Even Shen Jing was worried. She looked at him and asked, "Jing Yu, you didn't tell your partner it was noon, did you? Oh dear, what should we do? Why don't you explain it to your partner properly?"

"You're getting married soon, so he shouldn't be angry with you over this. If it really comes down to it, I'll explain things to him properly tonight, okay?"

Lin Jingyu was speechless. "I really thought it was noon! Mom and Dad, do you really have to go out tomorrow? Wouldn't it be better to wait at home? I'm afraid something unexpected might happen."

Lin Jingyu wanted to make a final effort, but Shen Jingyao and Lin Yiyu were determined to go to the court hearing.

This is no ordinary event; this is an important day to give Wen Shu confidence!

Wen Shu didn't have many close friends to begin with. If she felt like she was fighting a lone battle, how desperate would she feel?

They dared not tell Wen Shu that they had contributed, so they let Wen Shu think that they had supported her.

They definitely have to go to the scene!

Lin Yiyu glanced at Lin Jingyu, "Jingyu, you don't need to worry about all that. If it really comes down to it, I'll apologize to your boyfriend myself later, and tell him to tell me if he has any complaints!"
