I smiled at them, "It's nothing, it's all in the past."
Soon, the day of the trial arrived. We ran into each other at the entrance, and the tension was palpable as we faced our enemies.
My mother even wanted to go up and hit Zhao Yuan.
Zhao Yuan sneered, "I hired Lawyer Wang, so just wait for your defeat."
I chuckled, not even bothering to give her a glance.
My older brother took matters into his own hands; it didn’t matter who Lawyer Wang was, he wouldn’t be of any help.
Once Zhao Yuan entered, she noticed Lawyer Wang nervously looking down, and a bad feeling crept into her heart.
"Lawyer Wang, what’s going on…?"
Lawyer Wang gritted his teeth, "Why didn’t you tell me the opposing lawyer is Jiang Yu?"
After saying that, he wiped the sweat from his brow. I caught every moment of it and couldn’t help but smile.
As expected, this was something my brother had to handle.
Zhao Yuan didn’t understand, "So what if Jiang Yu is personally handling this? You’re known as the undefeated champion of A City."
Lawyer Wang felt like cursing; no wonder she didn’t find a lawyer in the capital but came all the way to A City—after all that, it turned out no one wanted to take her case.
Since it was a relative’s introduction, he had taken it on without much thought.
Now it seemed that his undefeated legend was about to be shattered today.
Zhao Yuan grasped his wrist tightly, "Lawyer Wang, I’m counting on you for this lawsuit. You have to win!"
Lawyer Wang didn’t even want to speak anymore; he just wanted it all to be over quickly.
The presiding judge entered, and the trial officially began.
My elder brother presented evidence of how they had violently mistreated me over the past few years, gradually revealing their crimes.
"This video shows how Zhao Yuan's family treated a teenager as a servant, subjecting him to constant verbal abuse."
Lawyer Wang took out the prepared materials, but his confidence was clearly lacking.
"Our client states that it was due to the other party's frequent disobedience at home that they wanted to teach him a lesson... Moreover, they sought medical attention afterward, and if it weren't for our client's adoption, the other party wouldn't have survived to this day."
He produced a photograph. "This is a picture taken by our client when he found the other party near a collapsing bridge. Later, he sent the other party to an orphanage and went through the adoption process. We believe there was no domestic violence; it was merely a method of parental discipline."
My brother disagreed and presented counter-evidence.
"Zhao Yuan frequently beat our client until he was covered in bruises and even poured scalding hot water on his shoulders, causing severe burns. The medical reports included in this evidence are irrefutable."
Lawyer Wang's expression darkened.
My brother then called in the Jiang family's servant to testify about the domestic violence I had endured.
Seeing the situation turning against her, Zhao Yuan took all the blame upon herself and instructed Jiang Qifeng to take good care of their daughter.
In the end, the presiding judge announced a two-year prison sentence for Zhao Yuan.
The Jiang family's financial chain collapsed, and they officially declared bankruptcy.
In my sophomore year, with the Jiang family's debts still unpaid and unable to afford tuition, Jiang Qing chose to drop out of school.
Qu Ying remarked while eating ice cream, "She could apply for student loans; it's just her pride getting in the way."
I saw Jiang Qing again at a banquet. Under my parents' guidance, I had already become independent in the company by my junior year.
She walked up to me, arm in arm with a man thirty years her senior, dressed in designer clothes and exuding arrogance.
"I haven't lost, Jiang Mu. I'm living freely now, and one day, I will make you pay for this."
The wealthy man approached, his large hand unceremoniously resting on Jiang Qing's waist, groping her in a greasy manner. "What are you still doing here? Hurry up and go pour a drink for President Li."
As he spoke, he turned to see me, and his previously lewd smile instantly transformed into one of respect.
He extended his right hand. "Miss Jiang, I am Li Xu from Xu Feng Construction. I've heard much about you."
Jiang Qing's expression was akin to someone who had just eaten something unpleasant.
"I visited your company before, but I could never secure an appointment. Would I be honored to invite you to dinner to discuss potential collaboration?"
Jiang Qing's face fell. "Honey, she just bullied me. How can you still work with her?"
Jiang Qing thought her little act of pouting would be effective, unaware that in front of such men, profit outweighed everything.
"What nonsense are you spouting? You must have provoked her first. Apologize to Miss Jiang immediately."
Jiang Qing refused to apologize and was met with a slap.
"If you don’t apologize now, don’t expect to get another penny from me in the future."
I expected Jiang Qing to turn and walk away.
To my surprise...
"I'm sorry."
There was little sincerity in that apology as I turned to leave.
My brother asked what had happened over there, and I shook my head. "Nothing."
I had heard of President Li; he was already married.
His wife was notorious for her ruthless methods. If she found out about Jiang Qing's existence...
At the end of the year, our family was sitting in the living room chatting.
"Mu Mu, say hello to your fans; they want to see you."
Once, I accidentally appeared on my elder brother's livestream, which led to many people wanting to see me whenever he went live.
My elder brother looked at the comments and said, "You guys can forget about it; becoming our family's son-in-law is quite strict."
My mom told him to go away.
"Sweetheart, come and see what Mommy bought for you."
My dad said, "It's the end of the year with many gatherings. Take this black card; it has no password, so feel free to use it."
Grandfather was boasting to someone again, "Yes, yes, that research project was done by my granddaughter. It's really impressive."
I smiled with crescent-shaped eyes; to make up for the hardships I had endured before, they had spoiled me like a little princess.
