Sure enough, the next day, Luo Shaoqiang brought Luo Shaoying to Zhou's house.
"Think about it, sister~"
As soon as Luo Shaoying arrived, she threw herself into Zhou Xiang's arms and said, "Sister Xiangxiang, I don't want a mother. I only need a godmother."
"Why?" Zhou Xiang pulled her out of his arms and asked her seriously.
"She's so fake, not as real as my godmother. I don't like her."
Zhou Xiang looked up at Luo Shaoqiang again, "Qiangqiang, what do you mean? You're still a few months away from turning 18. If she forces it, you don't have a legal guardian, so custody might be awarded to her. Even if you're over 18 and don't need her support anymore, Yingying is still young!"
Luo Shaoqiang frowned. "Is there no other way? I hate her and I hate her, and my sister doesn't like her either. Under these circumstances, will we be happy if we follow her?"
"Taking into account the compensation she has been emphasizing, the judge will probably award you to her, unless there is solid evidence to prove that her family environment is not conducive to your physical and mental growth."
Having said this, Zhou Xiang turned to look at Ling Ran beside him and said, "Hurry up and send someone to investigate Ji Hong and that man to see if they can gather any evidence. Ji Hong will definitely take legal action now that things have come to this."
Ling Ran nodded, "Don't worry! I arranged for someone to investigate yesterday. These two people obviously made sufficient preparations before coming here. How could I be so helpless against my opponent?"
Zhou Xiang smiled at him and said, "Not bad, you work very hard."
Ling Ran immediately responded with a silly smile.
Yingying coughed, "Xiang Xiang, we're still here! Can you guys stop making eye contact?"
Zhou wanted to push her away completely, "Go away, little girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Yingying's sadness was pushed away, and she said with a smile: "Okay! I won't say the truth anymore. Sister Xiang, you must find a way! I don't want to go with her, I'm afraid."
"Well! Don't worry! We'll delay this for now. If we really have to go to court, just tell us how you feel. The judge will consider the opinions of children over ten years old."
"good!"
Qiangqiang also relaxed, thinking that as long as his sister would not give up on them and his sister, it would be fine!
After having lunch at Zhou’s house, the brother and sister returned to the county town.
Two days later, instead of waiting for Ling Ran's investigation results, Ji Hong received a court summons and sued both her and Director Yu.
After signing the subpoena, Zhou Xiang smiled. It was the first subpoena she had received in her two lives!
At this moment, her cell phone rang. Zhou Xiang saw that the caller was Senior Jiang. She looked at the subpoena in her hand with amusement. Could it be about this?
"Hello? Think about it, why did you receive a court summons?" As soon as the phone was connected, Jiang Weihua's nervous voice came.
It's different with a cell phone! The Jiang family received the news almost as fast as the incident happened.
"Nothing, it's just that Luo Shaoqiang and Luo Shaoying's mother is back..."
Jiang Weihua certainly knew about the Luo Shaoqiang siblings. They were similar to Zuo Heng in that they were both rescued by their niece.
He also knew about the woman's visit to Zhou's house a few days ago. "Wait, I'll hire a lawyer for you and take her back to face that ungrateful bitch!"
Jiang Weihua hung up after he finished speaking. Zhou Xiang looked at the hung-up phone with amusement. Senior Jiang was really angry and even swore.
The lawyer arrived quickly, arriving the next morning. Lawyer Fang was very straightforward. When he saw Zhou Xiang, he asked her to tell him about her encounter with Luo Shaoqiang and his sister and why she brought them back.
After listening to Zhou Xiang's story, Lawyer Fang gave her a thumbs-up and said, "Don't worry, there's absolutely no such thing as someone being sued for doing good things. I'll go to the city to find Director Yu right away."
Lawyer Fang drank a sip of tea, then left Zhou's house and rushed to the city. The court date on the summons was 9:00 a.m. on November 18, and he had no time to stay.
Zhou Xiang wasn't nervous at all. At worst, Qiangqiang and Yingying could just go with their mom! They were all grown up and had their own ideas.
On the evening of the 17th, Lawyer Fang called her and asked her to go to the Municipal Court on time the next day.
At 7:30 in the morning on the 18th, Ling Ran drove Zhou Xiang to the city. They arrived at the court before 9 o'clock and met up with Lawyer Fang and Director Yu.
Director Yu was very embarrassed. "Zhou Xiang, in fact, Qiangqiang and Yingying are the responsibility of our street. You did a good thing with good intentions, but you are still being blamed. You blame me."
Zhou Xiang didn't care. "It has nothing to do with you. They were entrusted to me by Grandma Luo. I can't let her go without worrying about it, right?"
Director Yu sighed, "Yeah! I really didn't know you had no relationship with Qiangqiang and the others at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed."
At this time, Luo Shaoqiang and Luo Shaoying came accompanied by Zuo Youcheng and Fang Yuehong. The two were a little nervous, and Zhou Xiang smiled encouragingly at them.
The door of Courtroom No. 1 opened, and Zhou Xiang and a group of people entered the court one after another.
Zhou Xiang and Director Yu, as defendants, sat on the left side of the judge's seats with Lawyer Fang. Looking at Ji Hong opposite him, Zhou Xiang smiled. This woman was still as weak as ever, and seemed to be confident.
When the plaintiff made her statement, Ji Hong first stated that she had no choice at the time, and then accused Zhou Xiang and Director Yu of conspiring to steal the Luo family's property and taking the two children, who were only nine and five years old at the time, away from the city.
The evidence is that the house was sold for only a few thousand yuan, but now it is worth tens of thousands of yuan, and the person who bought the house is a relative of Director Yu.
Director Yu clutched her chest in anger. She'd initially sympathized with Ji Hong, thinking Zhou Xiang was being too forceful. Wouldn't returning the child be enough to put an end to the situation? It turned out that Ji Hong still wanted the house back, or rather, the tens of thousands of yuan difference in price.
Lawyer Fang signaled Director Yu to relax and just defend himself later.
