However, when she thought of the person upstairs, Cen Zhu strengthened her confidence. She could not let Cen Shuang take care of a vegetable for the rest of her life. If she had known at the beginning, she would not have let Cen Shuang marry into the Zhuang family. Although the Zhuang family was many times better than the Lu family, it could not replace the Cen family. Zhuang Hong was a vegetable who only knew how to lie in bed.
As expected, with the support of the Zhuang family, Lin Sicheng’s methods became more aggressive. Within a week, he had obtained all the evidence of Lu Hongyang’s transfer of assets. He even sent the evidence of Lu Hongyang’s infidelity to the court. During the court session, when the Lu family saw the evidence and photos, they were caught off guard. They had done this very discreetly and it was difficult for anyone to find out. Unless there was someone behind Cen Zhu. When they saw Lin Sicheng, Lu Hongyang had a bad feeling. He hoped that it was not what he thought. How could Cen Zhu have a relationship with the Zhuang family? After the incident, the Lu family applied for an adjournment and needed more time to come up with their defense.
Although the Lu family did not admit the authenticity of the evidence, Lin Sicheng’s evidence was undeniable. As expected, as soon as they left the court, Lu Hongyang ran over and pulled Cen Zhu aside. “What do you mean? I know I’ve let you down, but why do you have those photos? Quickly dismiss the divorce lawsuit. I can give you the house in the western part of the city.”
Cen Zhu sneered. “Do you think you can compensate for what you’ve done with only a house? Dream on, I’ll take back everything that belongs to me.”
“What’s your relationship with the Zhuang family?” Cen Zhu smiled at Lu Hongyang’s questions. She turned her head in disdain. Ji Qiuhua, who had rushed over, raised her hand to slap her. However, her slap did not connect with Cen Zhu’s face. Instead, it hit Cen Shuang’s face.
Cen Zhu was shocked. She struggled free from Lu Hongyang and said sadly, “Shuang Shuang, I’m sorry. Does it hurt? You actually slapped her.”
“I was trying to slap you. You’re hooking up with the Zhuang family before you’re even divorced. Great! Now that you have a backer, you want to harm the Lu family. Let me tell you, Miao Miao is pregnant with the Lu family’s child. Even if you don’t want to get married, you have to get divorced. The Lu family will not acknowledge a daughter-in-law like you. You better be sensible and dismiss the lawsuit. Otherwise, I won’t let you two b*itches go,” Ji Qiuhua said in a harsh voice. Cen Zhu’s eyes reddened as she stood frozen outside the courthouse. Her heart ached as she looked at her mother-in-law whom she had served so well in the past.
Cen Shuang covered the side of her face that had just been slapped and laughed coldly. “Mr. Lin, you recorded the evidence of the beating just now, right? We’ll present it as evidence tomorrow. Does this count as threatening the plaintiff?” She did not retaliate because she wanted the Lu family to slip up one more time.
“It counts. Don’t worry, young madam. I have already explained the grievances you’ve suffered. The Zhuang family will naturally exact revenge for you.”
Ji Qiuhua and Lu Hongyang were both stunned. Cen Shuang was the young madam of the Zhuang family. No wonder Cen Zhu was able to hire Lin Sicheng, the strongest lawyer in Lin City. Ji Qiuhua’s expression changed. Seeing that they were about to get into the car, she hurriedly chased after them. “Don’t go. Say it properly.”
“Mom, stop chasing them. Can’t you see? Cen Shuang has a relationship with the Zhuang family. With the Zhuang family’s support, we won’t be able to win this time. Let’s talk to Cen Zhu.” A peaceful divorce was the best they could hope for now.
“How is that possible? Cen Shuang is the young madam of the Zhuang family? Which young master of the Zhuang family married her?” The Zhuang family was immensely powerful in Lin City. Old Master Zhuang could shake the entire infrastructure of Lin City if he only stomped his foot. They had slapped the young lady of the Zhuang family. This was a blatant act of disrespect to the elders of the Zhuang family.
“It hurts... be gentle. It hurts so much. I don’t want it anymore.” Cen Shuang’s eyes were red as she tried to hide her face. She wanted to touch her wound, but Cen Zhu puller her hands away.
“Don’t move. What if it gets infected?” Cen Shuang did not expect Ji Qiuhua to be so ruthless. Half of Cen Shuang’s face was red and swollen. Cen Zhu felt sorry for her and could not help but blame herself. “I’m useless. Does it still hurt?”
Cen shuang purposely shouted so that Cen Zhu would not feel bad. She did not expect that she would blame herself. She shook her head forcefully. “It doesn’t hurt. If you’re alright then I’m not in pain.”
“She hit you so ruthlessly. How can it not hurt? I will definitely get rid of the Lu family and take you out of the Zhuang family.”
Cen Shuang knew that she was not just saying this casually. Her heart ached for Cen Zhu’s situation, and she hoped that she could break out of the cage she was in. “Sis, don’t worry about me. When our family stands up again, naturally, those people won’t bully me anymore. Moreover, now that the Zhuang family is backing me up, they won’t dare to do anything now.”
Seeing Cen Shuang’s innocent expression, Cen Zhu could not help but look at the motionless man on the bed. “I don’t know if Zhuang Hong will wake up. I can’t watch you accompany this kind of person for the rest of your life.”
With the Zhuang family’s support, Cen Zhu’s divorce was imminent.
