After Shen Jingyao and Lin Yiyu made their decision in a quick exchange, Lin Jingyu didn't even have time to react.
"Okay, that's settled for now. You should talk to your partner beforehand and make sure he doesn't come at the wrong time. If no one is home, he might misunderstand and think we're neglecting him."
Shen Jingyao gently reminded Lin Jingyu, causing him to swallow back all the words he was about to say.
Back in her room, Lin Jingyu was furious. She had planned the time in advance, but they still managed to ruin it!
On the day of the trial, Wen Shu was accompanied by a team of five lawyers. Before each of Wen Shu's opening remarks, the lawyers would quickly remind and advise her what she should and should not say.
It must be said that with the guidance of a professional legal team, Wen Shu was much calmer; perhaps this confidence came from the expertise of the professionals.
Shen Jingyao and her husband Lin Yiyu sat below the courtroom. Shen Jingyao couldn't help but shed tears. What had her poor little girl gone through all these years?
The evidence provided by Wen Shu's side was very comprehensive, proving that Wen Rou Rou had always been raised by him, that Wen Rou Rou had a deep affection for him, and that Wen Shu had the financial means to support the child.
She came prepared, and with the support of a professional legal team, the Li family's legal team did not gain any advantage in the courtroom.
All the questions they raised were met with strong rebuttals.
After a morning of exchanges, the court hearing finally came to an end.
Wen Shu breathed a heavy sigh of relief. As she walked out of the courtroom, Shen Jingyao and Lin Yiyu hurriedly followed her, calling out, "Wen Shu!"
They tried their best to suppress the excitement on their faces, and showed a relieved expression. "Congratulations! You did very well. There's no reason for the court not to award custody of the child to you, especially since the other party didn't dare to show up!"
Wen Shu shook her head and said to them, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Lin and Ms. Shen. Actually, the child's biological father also has some difficulties. He didn't actually want to fight me for the child; it's mainly because the child's father's family is involved."
"The child's father had originally applied to attend the trial, but his family managed to get it rejected, so he did not have the opportunity to appear in court."
Shen Jingyao paused for a moment, then asked with some confusion, "How come the child's biological father didn't actually fight for your custody? It was mainly his family causing trouble?"
Wen Shu nodded. "Yes."
Shen Jingyao and Lin Yiyu exchanged a glance. So the problem isn't with the child's father, but rather with his family causing trouble.
Shen Jingyao tentatively asked, "Wen Shu, what are your thoughts on the child's father?"
Wen Shu lowered her head and smiled. What thoughts could she possibly have now?
Given the reaction from Li Duo's family, she now has no feelings for Li De whatsoever.
As long as she doesn't try to take her child away, everything else is negotiable. Visitation rights and similar issues are not problems for Wen Shu.
“He is the child’s biological father. If he wants to come and visit the child, I will definitely support him.”
Shen Jingyao was immediately disappointed. If Wen Shu had some feelings for the other party, this matter would have been easier to handle. The other party could have made their demands, and they could have negotiated for Wen Shu. It was a pity.
Shen Jingyao followed Wen Shu very attentively, as if she were her solid support.
Wen Shu walked ahead with her arm around Shen Jingyao's side. As they walked, Shen Jingyao chatted with her gently, her posture and demeanor making her seem like a close elder, earnestly discussing some details of the trial with her.
Wen Shu's feelings were very complicated. She knew, of course, that Shen Jingyao meant well.
At this moment, Wen Shu didn't know how to describe her feelings. Shen Jingyao's feelings for Wen Shu were really too strange.
She had a vague suspicion in her heart, but this suspicion never came true.
Wen Shu dared not truly verify her guess, and even less did she know what expression she should wear if it came true.
If not, she will be even more disappointed; if yes, should she feel resentment?
Wen Shu didn't know, so let it be. This is just right. She can face everything with a calm mind.
She remains steadfast in the face of change, living her life well, true to her conscience, taking good care of Rou Rou and her grandmother—that's enough for her.
Wen Shu doesn't consider herself a greedy person. Now and in the future, she will work hard, earn money, and provide a better life for her grandmother and Rou Rou.
Anyway, she's still young. She's only in her twenties, and her life has just begun. She absolutely cannot back down because of a little setback.
"Thank you, Ms. Shen. Thank you and Mr. Lin for coming all this way to cheer me on. If you have time in the future, you can bring Tuantuan to my home. Rou Rou has been thinking about her big brother Tuantuan."
There weren't many people attending the court hearing. Among the few scattered individuals, Shen Jingyao and Lin Yiyu were there on behalf of Wen Shu. As for the others, Wen Shu didn't recognize them; they were most likely members of the Li family who were following the progress of the case.
Shen Jingyao hesitated for a moment, but finally could only say, "This is only the first trial. The other side will probably appeal. But don't worry, even if they appeal, it won't change the outcome. You have sufficient evidence, and your legal team will definitely find more evidence to deal with them."
Wen Shu nodded. "The legal team just told me about it. Thank you so much, Mr. Lin."
Not far away, Ma Jun stood next to the car, waiting casually by the roadside.
Wen Shu said goodbye to Shen Jingyao and Lin Yiyu: "Ms. Shen, Mr. Lin, I'm leaving now. Please be careful on your way back. Thank you again, goodbye!"
After Wen Shu finished speaking, she bowed respectfully to Shen Jingyao and Lin Yiyu.
She turned and ran towards Ma Jun, "Sister, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Ma Jun tilted his head slightly, looking at Shen Jingyao and Lin Yiyu behind Wen Shu, and asked, "Who are they? Your relatives?"
Wen Shu glanced back at them, unsure how to describe it, and finally mumbled, "Kind-hearted people who care about Rou Rou's custody."
“I told you to go back first, I have some things to do tonight, I need to go to Yangcheng.”
Ma Jun chuckled sarcastically, "By the way, do you remember Lin Jingyu from last time? Ma Biao is marrying her. Want to come for the wedding banquet?"
Although Wen Shu had already heard that Lin Jingyu and Ma Biao were in contact, she was still somewhat surprised when she heard that they were going to get married. Was Lin Jingyu really going to marry Ma Biao?
No matter how you look at it, Ma Biao is not a good marriage prospect.
