“There are old servants who can testify for me. The hospital must have my birth record and birth certificate! Who dares to say that Defan isn’t my son?!”
Tang Jian said calmly, “Science has proven that you and Mr Shen Defan are not related by blood.”
“Where did this doctor come from?! Even if you’re lying, you have to come up with a draft! You’ve just sworn an oath. Do you know that it’s illegal for you to fake evidence?!”
Tang Jian sneered and shook her head. “The truth is right in front of us. Madam Jiang Rongrong and Mr Shen Defan are not related by blood. As for the various tests, it’s written clearly in the report. I promise there won’t be any problems with the judicial test! If you don’t believe me, you can re-test it, but there won’t be a second result.”
Jiang Rongrong’s face was pale as she shook her head, unable to hear Tang Jian.
“You’re lying! Judge, she lied and made false evidence. Please convict her immediately!”
The judge ignored her hysteria and rapped his gavel. “Silence!”
The entire court was in chaos. Jiang Rongrong, Shen Defan, and all the onlookers were shocked by this unexpected outcome.
Back then, they thought that Shen Fanxing wasn’t a descendant of the Shen family.
In that case, there was no need to be too calculative about what Jiang Rongrong and the Shen family had done to her back then. In fact, no one would take it to heart.
After all, she wasn’t of the Shen family’s bloodline. There was no need for him to treat her well.
As for this lawsuit, because she wasn’t a member of the Shen family, her obligation to support Jiang Rongrong wouldn’t be valid according to the law.
But who would have thought…
In the end, it was…
Jiang Rongrong wasn’t Shen Fanxing’s biological grandmother?
Even her beloved son, Shen Defan, wasn’t her biological son…
This was… extremely sad.
“Shen Defan is my son! I won’t allow you to spout nonsense!”
Jiang Rongrong’s face turned pale as she pointed at Tang Jian and roared, “She’s obviously faking evidence and spreading rumors! I had a record in the hospital when I was giving birth back then! I had a C-section back then! My stomach still has the scar from the surgery. The fact that Defan is my ten-month-old son is ironclad. Are you done? Has her IQ been eaten by a dog? How can she believe such ridiculous words?”
The atmosphere in the courtroom was hard to control.
No matter how hard the judge tried, he could not control the chaotic situation.
“Silence!”
The judge finally seemed to be angered and reprimanded him forcefully before the scene gradually quietened down.
Jiang Rongrong’s chest heaved violently as she glared at Shen Fanxing, as though her gaze could kill Shen Fanxing a million times.
“You want to use this method to kick me out of the Shen family? I thought you would have some tricks up your sleeve, but that’s all? Shen Fanxing, do you know that you’re looking down on the law? Giving such false evidence in court? How stupid do you think I am? You don’t even know if I’ve given birth or not?”
Shen Fanxing nodded and said, “You have indeed given birth before, but your child isn’t Mr Shen Defan.”
Jiang Rongrong swayed and supported herself on the table.
She looked at Shen Fanxing and an ugly sneer appeared on her pale face.
“If it’s not him, then what about my child? Your grandfather and I are husband and wife, but your father is your grandfather’s son and not mine?”
Shen Fanxing’s smile had long disappeared from her face.
“Yes, you’re my grandfather’s wife. Shen Defan is my grandfather’s biological son, but you’re not his biological mother. Why?” She muttered, “Why are you pretending? Isn’t this obvious? As for where the child you gave birth to is? Instead of asking me, I think you’d better ask your husband.”
With that, Shen Fanxing gave a faint mocking and sorrowful smile. “Perhaps you can experience it deeply. Su Heng cheated on Shen Qianrou back then, but you felt that it was only right and proper. You forced me to take a step back and fulfill his and Shen Qianrou’s actions. How… unpleasant.”
Jiang Rongrong’s face was indescribably pale.
Why play dumb?
Because she didn’t want to believe that everything today was the truth.
She didn’t want to believe that the son she had doted on all her life wasn’t hers.
She didn’t want to believe that her husband had betrayed her when they had just gotten married.
She swallowed her saliva and blinked repeatedly, as if she was trying her best to escape from this nightmare.
She hoped that this was just a dream. In the blink of an eye, she returned to reality.
Whether it was true or not, she didn’t even want to hear the possibility.
Yet in reality, all her prayers were in vain.
In the end, she turned to look at the only man sitting steadily in the audience.
Seeing his calm expression, she grabbed the edge of the table tightly.
“Shen… Shen Shanghua… Tell me, is Shen Fanxing spreading rumors today?”
The entire courtroom fell silent as everyone’s gaze landed on Shen Shanghua.
Shen Shanghua closed his eyes tightly. His grip on the walking stick was so tight that even his bones could be seen clearly.
After a long while, he struggled to stand up.
She walked slowly to the witness stand.
Seeing this, Tang Jian got down from the seat and made way for him.
Shen Fanxing looked at him as he stood there trembling. She wanted to give him a cold and heartless smile, but in the end, she turned her gaze elsewhere.
When Jiang Rongrong saw his actions, her body swayed. “You… Why are you standing there? Shen Shanghua, what do you want… What do you want?!”
Shen Shanghua’s Adam’s apple bobbed a few times. After a long while, his trembling lips parted smugly.
“I…” His voice was hoarse. “… I’ve let you down.”
Gasps sounded in the courtroom.
Jiang Rongrong glared at him angrily.
“What do you mean?”
Shen Fanxing closed her eyes again and let out a long sigh. When she opened her eyes again, it was as though she had made a huge decision.
He said slowly, “These tests are all facts. I allowed them to do these judicial tests.”
This was because there was a law stating that the Ministry of Justice would not agree to a paternity test without the consent of the person involved.
“Shen Defan is my son, not yours. I’ve let you down back then…”
“…”
“…”
There was a long silence.
