CHAPTER 501: CHAPTER 205: THE SU FAMILY DEFENSIVE BATTLE (PART 3)

"Is it you or him?" Chang Chi looked at Shang Yin, pressing him, "Tell me, is it you or him? Does the Su Family’s mining disaster have anything to do with you?"

"Shang Yin, congratulations, you finally found a smart woman," Wen Maixue raised her glass towards Shang Yin with a hint of mockery.

Chang Chi then looked at the bridal gown catalog spread out on the table, "It’s you!"

"Enough, Shang Yin, control your woman properly, don’t let her bark wildly like a mad dog," Pello was even more annoyed by the questioning.

"Go upstairs, for the next few days, you better not go out," Shang Yin gestured to the servant to take Chang Chi upstairs.

Chang Chi shook off the servant, "Are you trying to imprison me?"

Shang Yin shrugged and looked towards Pello, who among the three sitting in the hall had the real decision power.

"Since you’ve finished your testimony, I think there’s no need for you to appear in court anymore," Pello had barely finished speaking when Chang Chi was forcibly pushed upstairs by the servant.

Chang Chi’s curses came from upstairs, followed by the sound of a door closing, and then all was quiet again.

Shang Yin looked at the photos of the wedding gown, whistled and said: "Not bad, the location is even decided, do you need me to be the best man."

"We’ll arrange that later," Pello wasn’t eager to reveal the engagement too soon.

"Aren’t you guys interested in today’s trial at all?" Shang Yin was still persistent.

"I’m not interested in today’s trial. I’m only interested in the trial in a few days," Pello’s phone rang on him, but he didn’t check it. Wen Maixue took the liberty to peek at the caller ID, "It’s Su Ziceng."

After Su Ziceng made two calls and Pello still didn’t answer, she started to feel uneasy. From the night before the trial to now, Pello hadn’t contacted her, she wondered if something had happened.

"Miss Su," Lawyer Chen’s voice brought Su Ziceng back to reality, "I hope you can seriously tell me, do Chairman Su and you really have nothing to do with this mining accident?"

After hearing Chang Chi’s testimony, Chen Jiachun started to doubt Su Ziceng’s words as well.

"Lawyer Chen, I thought that only if you fully trust your client, can you win this lawsuit," Su Ziceng’s response made Chen Jiachun fall into a brief contemplation.

"Miss Su, I just want to confirm ..." Self-proclaimed for his sharp wit in court, Chen Jiachun was at a loss for words when stared down by Su Ziceng’s shining eyes.

Zhou Dagen, also sitting aside, tried to play the mediator and ease the atmosphere.

"I think it’s necessary for me to discuss again with Mr. Perro," Chen Jiachun also felt somewhat despondent; it was hard for him to communicate with his client now that the trial had just begun.

"It was me who commissioned Mr. Perro to find you," Su Ziceng said decisively.

"It was you? But I always thought... Mr. Perro chose me. And why would you hire me; I’m just an unknown newbie lawyer." Chen Jiachun’s acceptance of Perro was largely out of gratitude for his trust; after all, being past thirty with little fame, he was not seen as the most capable lawyer. Yet, the Su Family had placed this heavy burden on his shoulders.

Huge pressure can crush some people’s shoulders but can also straighten others’ spines. Chen Jiachun and Su Ziceng were lucky; they belonged to the latter. Chen Jiachun would step into the fiercely competitive judicial arena earlier through this battle, and Su Ziceng, through this case, would bear the future of the Su Family more steadily. Both were people reborn from the fire.

They do not easily get crushed, nor do they easily give up.

"Because you are a good lawyer, and you can help many people in the future. The Su Family is just your beginning," Su Ziceng smiled and said this, her hand gripped Chen Jiachun’s.

"I..." Chen Jiachun was stumped again; after a while, he smiled bitterly: "Miss Su, are you using beauty tactics on me?"

"This hand doesn’t belong to me," Su Ziceng said with a smile, spreading her hand under the light; her hands were slender and well-maintained.

"It belongs to the Su Family, representing tens of thousands of employees," Su Ziceng’s face bore the brightest smile.

Zhou Dagen and Chen Jiachun were both stunned, at this moment, Su Ziceng seemed to radiate a glow, softening her features and solidifying others’ faith. (To be continued.
