After confirming the old man’s identity, the reporters surrounded him again.
“Old Master Shen, did you know that Madam Jiang had sued CEO Shen for alimony?”
“According to what I know, after CEO Shen burned down the house, he arranged a place for you to stay. Did you reject it yourself? In that case, shouldn’t CEO Shen reject this lawsuit?”
“Are you here to be President Shen’s witness or to support Madam Jiang?”
“Who do you want to win this lawsuit?”
“Mr Shen, Ms Jiang will be suing your daughter. How do you feel about this lawsuit?”
Everything in Shen Defan’s life was arranged by Jiang Rongrong. In the Shen family, even Old Master Shen could do nothing to his mother, let alone him.
Most of the time, his father had always indulged his mother and even made him more tolerant of her.
Fortunately, most of the time, his mother’s intentions were for his own good, so he let her be.
Other than not having much power, he had also lived a carefree life.
However, he had been hiding in the dark and paying attention to this lawsuit. His mother had promised him that this alimony was enough for him to start a new company.
Although Shen Fanxing was his daughter, after everything had been exposed, he felt guilty towards her. He had never thought of asking for anything from her.
No matter what, he still had some sense of shame.
As a father, he didn’t do anything for her. Naturally, he didn’t have the face to ask her for anything.
However, if his mother could really get some money from her, he would be more than happy…
Regarding the reporters’ questions, he naturally shook his head and did not answer.
Shen Shanghua ignored the reporters’ questions and walked towards Jiang Rongrong with his walking stick.
Jiang Rongrong frowned at him. “Why are you here? Are you going to testify for Shen Fanxing? It’s useless. She admitted in front of everyone that she won’t give me alimony. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be here today.”
Shen Shanghua’s expression was calm as he stared at Jiang Rongrong with his deep eyes.
“If I ask you to withdraw the lawsuit now, will you agree?”
Jiang Rongrong frowned. “Now that things have come to this, do you think it’s possible?”
“Nothing is impossible. As long as there’s no trial, there’s a chance to withdraw the lawsuit. You just have to answer me if you agree or not!”
“I don’t agree!” Jiang Rongrong said firmly without hesitation.
“I’m throwing away all my face and being criticized by everyone. Why do you think I’m living? You’re willing to see the Shen family in this state, but I’m not! Defan has achieved nothing so far, but as a father, you really don’t feel guilty at all?”
You can be at ease with the current situation. That’s your business, but I can’t! I, Jiang Rongrong, am selfish and can’t lead a carefree life.
Moreover, I can’t watch my son live under someone else’s roof and be a coward for the rest of his life.
Therefore, I don’t care how shameless I am in everyone’s eyes!
Shen Shanghua’s lips trembled. “You don’t even care about your reputation for money?!”
“I wanted it when I was the old madam of the Shen family! But now, I’m no different from a beggar! I want to live well and leave something for my son. What’s face? Whose face is worth two billion yuan?”
I was forced. If Shen Fanxing could talk to me nicely and accept my apology, I wouldn’t have ended up like this! Shen Shanghua, if you’re not here to help me, don’t stop me!
Shen Shanghua swayed and closed his eyes. After a long while, he said, “I beg you, withdraw the lawsuit immediately.”
“Impossible!” Jiang Rongrong rejected again. “Don’t you understand? There’s no turning back. This time, Shen Fanxing and I can only fight to the death!”
Jiang Rongrong was determined. After saying that, she walked up the stairs.
She walked into the courthouse resolutely.
Shen Defan was touched by Jiang Rongrong’s words.
Although Jiang Rongrong was the one in charge previously, she had given him the best in terms of material needs!
Even now, she was still thinking about him…
How could he not be touched?
Shen Shanghua stood rooted to the ground, his body swaying. His expression was sorrowful and heavy.
Half an hour later, the trial officially began.
A few minutes of swearing time.
There were many people in the audience, including Shen Defan, Shen Shanghua and Yuan Sichun. Later on, Bo Jinhang and Yin Ruijue arrived. Bo Jinchuan and Ji Fengmian were the last to arrive. They sat in the audience and observed Shen Fanxing’s condition.
The judge first asked them if they wanted to consider whether to withdraw the lawsuit or give them time to mediate privately.
Such family disputes should be avoided if possible.
Shen Fanxing looked at Jiang Rongrong, wanting to say that everything depended on Jiang Rongrong.
However, Jiang Rongrong said, “Five billion yuan. If she’s willing to settle it privately, I’ll withdraw the lawsuit.”
There was a commotion below the stage.
Most of them were shocked and amused.
“In the blink of an eye, it has doubled. This old woman is really shameless!”
Shen Fanxing smirked and said, “Madam Jiang, you’re really capable. You can show everyone that there’s no such thing as the most shameless person in the world.”
“How can that be? I’m your grandmother! How can you be so disrespectful to me in court?!”
Shen Fanxing smiled and turned to the judge. “I won’t give her a single cent even if it’s private. Since Madam Jiang is so determined, we can just start. My stand is clear. I won’t give her a single cent, let alone five or two billion yuan.”
Jiang Rongrong snorted coldly. “You’re really stubborn!”
As she spoke, she bent down and sat down. The lawyer beside her was in charge.
The lawyer only pointed out a few accusations to Shen Fanxing.
As a capable junior, she didn’t fulfill her duty as a junior.
She didn’t care about Jiang Rongrong and even had violent tendencies. She was referring to the incident where Jiang Rongrong was thrown out of Stars International a few days ago.
Not to mention how he had spoken rudely to Jiang Rongrong and what he had done to her, including burning down the house and preventing her from living in the monastery.
There were also all sorts of inappropriate behaviors that Jiang Rongrong could recall.
However, most of them ignored the cause and effect and took Jiang Rongrong’s advantage out of context.
Shen Fanxing listened silently. Jiang Rongrong’s lawyer gave a summary before asking Shen Fanxing.
“Miss Shen Fanxing, is this true?”
Shen Fanxing cupped her chin and smiled faintly. “It’s true.”
