Xu Wan had handled cases and won lawsuits during her university years, and it was through this resume that she successfully entered Tianyuan Law Firm.
She knew very well how important it was to have a strong presence at times like this.
Liu's mother was clearly frightened by her, but she still said loudly, "My son is still in the hospital because of you, and he's about to be sent to the detention center. I haven't slept all night, I'm so angry I'm confused!"
"Did I cause this? Liu Xing is a friend of my uncle Xu Jiashan. I've never met him more than twenty times in all these years! I've spoken to him even less often. How did he imagine that I was showing interest in him? It's obvious that you all thought I couldn't get married because of my parents' situation, so you assumed your son was the best choice for me, and you even paid my uncle a bride price without my knowledge!"
Xu Wan was also furious. "You've never respected my opinion at all, and now you're blaming me?!"
Mr. Liu was clearly a little guilty: "Forget it, stop making a fuss."
Liu's mother shook off her husband's hand and confronted Xu Wan: "How would I know about your Xu family's affairs? I thought your uncle was the one who had the final say."
"Why do you think my uncle's word is law? Don't you know what kind of person he is? He's a gambling addict, his wife and kids ran away, and he's sponging off us. You believe him? Why do you believe him?!"
Xu Wan also found it ridiculous.
She wouldn't have rushed to attend the industry matchmaking party if she wasn't afraid that her uncle would accept the bride price and force her to marry Liu Xing.
Marrying Jiang Tingzhou was her good fortune.
However, if she had a choice, she would not want to meet her husband in this way.
"If you don't believe him, who do you believe? Your mother is in jail, so isn't he, as your uncle, just like your parents?"
Liu's mother didn't mind reopening Xu Wan's wounds at all.
The thought of her son going to jail filled her with rage, and she added, "Besides, your mother went to jail for murder. If my son hadn't repeatedly persuaded me, I wouldn't have wanted a daughter-in-law like you!"
People around were whispering among themselves.
Murder, jail time.
Each and every word is extremely sensitive.
Xu Wan's eyes reddened.
She pointed to the person broadcasting live next to her, then to the surveillance camera above her head, and asked, "Auntie, are you going to take responsibility for everything you just said? There's someone broadcasting live here, and our law firm also has surveillance cameras. What you just said is defamation. I can sue you. Don't you think your son is being wronged in jail? Then go to jail with him and stay with him there!"
"You, you!"
Liu's mother panicked immediately, covered her head and sat on the ground, pretending to be dizzy, "You bullied this old woman, I'll never forgive you."
“If you don’t understand the law, then let me tell you.” Xu Wan looked down at Liu’s mother sitting on the ground. “Yesterday, it was your son and my uncle who colluded to bully me. It was reasonable and legal for me to call the police. Today, it was you who came to me. You were the one who insulted me from beginning to end. I have been trying to reason with you. So even if you die here today, it has nothing to do with me.”
Xu Wan turned to leave, but Liu's mother, in her haste, grabbed Xu Wan's leg and cried, "I'm sorry, Xu Wan, I was just too protective of my son. Didn't I end up doing nothing yesterday? He's the only son in our Liu family. He's only not married until now because he truly loves you. If he really goes to jail, it will be even harder for him to find a partner. Please, for the sake of our relationship with your uncle, reconcile with us."
After Liu's mother finished speaking, she began to kowtow on the ground.
"Bang, bang, bang." The muffled sounds continued.
"What's going on? Why are they making a scene in front of our law firm?"
A person squeezed through the crowd.
Xu Wan looked up and saw that the person who came was Su Qiong.
