Chapter 683: Court Hearing.

Editor warning: talks of suicide

When Xiao Luo saw Su Bei, the little girl was already asleep in bed. Though there were teardrops on her lashes, ruining such a peaceful scene.

“Beibei…”

Xiao Luo sat down on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand and gently stroked her little face with the back of his hand.

Maybe because she was dreaming of him or if she could feel his presence, but the little girl murmured, “Dad”

Hearing this, Xiao Luo felt his heart melting into a puddle.Towards Su Bei, he held an instinctive desire for fatherly love. When he saw her for the first time, a feeling he couldn’t exactly put a finger on came over him. It was as if he had known her for a long time, as if she was biologically his.

Bai Yuquan saw tenderness flashed in Xiao Luo’s eyes and immediately said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Xiao Luo. Beibei is being treated well here. My grandfather and father love her dearly. And she is my daughter, I will never let her suffer any grievances.”

He thought this would be an excellent opportunity to get closer to Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo didn’t speak. He just looked around the room and found that the decoration of the room was adequate, it was pink and cozy. He could tell that it was decorated with careful thoughts and consideration. The urgent feeling of immediately taking Su Bei back faded; after all, neither he nor Su Li was Su Bei’s biological parents.

And it seemed that the people in the White House were really fond of Su Bei. Under the prestige of the White House, Su Bei’s path in the future was surely to be filled with sunshine, and the White House would be the one paving the way for her advancement. Even if the court awarded Su Bei’s custody to the White House, it would not be a bad thing.

“Why did you abandon her then?” Xiao Luo suddenly asked.

Bai Yuquan smiled bitterly, “To tell you the truth, Mr. Xiao Luo, Su Li’s sister Su Jing was drugged by her mother and mixed something in the tea she gave me. I only had relations with Su Jing under the influence. Later, I thought that since I already had relations with her, I should be responsible for Su Jing.

But my grandfather knew about it, and he firmly opposed me being responsible for such a woman. I had no choice but to leave her. Later, I learned that Su Jing was pregnant with my child and then threatened to kill herself. I thought she was just joking and it was just an emotional outburst, however she really sl1t her wrist.”

“To have such a history, hmm, yes, very unusual!” Xiao Luo laughed.

Thinking of Su Li and himself, wasn’t the marriage between them also a mistake? The two situations were almost identical, though each led to vastly different results.

“I actually regret it. Although Su Jing used some ‘means’, I must admit that I have feelings for her.” Bai Yuquan frowned.

“You know, what I look down on most is this kind of person.” Xiao Luo lightly said.

Bai Yuquan smiled awkwardly and shook his head helplessly. “I also look down on such people. But I didn’t expect myself to become such a person today. It’s embarrassing.”

“Come on, I don’t want to get too close to any one of you in the White House. I will always be wary of your White House.”

Xiao Luo raised his hand. How could he not know Bai Yuquan’s plan of wanting to befriend him? This guy was able to let go of his brother-in-law’s murder because of his strength. This Bai Yuquan was also a cunning character. If they were in troubled times, Bai Yuquan’s achievements would definitely not be small. Even now, if given enough time, Bai Yuquan could surely be able to achieve great things.

“Mr. Xiao Luo doesn’t have to do this. Zhuo Yuze’s death is completely irrelevant and his position in our White House is humble. If he died, he died. It is not a big deal for my sister to marry another one.” Bai Yuquan said.

Xiao Luo didn’t express any more opinions about this, and just laughed.

“In front of the court, I believe it will be a ‘fair and just’ process. No matter what the final judgment is, I will gladly accept it. Of course, if Beibei’s custody is awarded to our White House, I sincerely hope that Mr. Xiao Luo can visit often. The door to our White House is always open to Mr. Xiao Luo.” Bai Yuquan said sincerely.

Xiao Luo patted him on the shoulder and slightly smiled, “Bai Yuquan, we don’t know each other that well, so don’t be so enthusiastic… Haven’t you heard of the saying? ‘If you continue to talk sh_t, it might just get shoved down your throat’.”

Bai Yuquan’s eyebrows slightly wrinkled, but they soon relaxed as he smiled. “I am opening my heart to make friends with Mr. Xiao Luo. Mr. Xiao Luo should also give me a chance.”

“Stop, we don’t have to talk about this any more!”

This Bai Yuquan’s skill of getting closer to people was really terrifying. Xiao Luo didn’t want to talk with him more, lest he really become friends with him.

……

……

On the second day, Su Li and the Bai Family went to court. Of course, the trial was private, and no one was allowed to enter the court except the close family members of both sides.

In the magnificent and majestic court, the audience was solemn; if a needle was dropped, it could be heard.

Xiao Luo, Su Li, Shen Qingyan and the female lawyer Ning Wanxiu were on one camp, while Bai Yuquan, Bai Xuenan, Bai Ying and Bai Guoxiong were on the other.

“Are you really confident you will win this lawsuit?” Xiao Luo asked Su Li.

Su Li nodded slightly, “Hmm.”

“Well, although I don’t know what card you are holding in your hand, you are my wife and I believe you.” Xiao Luo reached out and pinched her nose.

Su Li’s cheeks immediately tinged red. She felt self-conscious engaging in such intimate behavior in front of so many people.

A little while later, the presiding judge and the rest of the judges walked out.

Before sitting in his own seat, the presiding judge came over and greeted Xiao Luo respectfully. He smiled and said, “Mr. Xiao, you are here!”

Last night, he was scared to death. Xiao Luo had suddenly appeared in front of him, demanding that this lawsuit must be treated fairly and justly ‒ no favoritism must take place. In the face of such a monster, the presiding judge didn’t even think of notifying the police. The police absolutely would not be able to control such a monster. Moreover, his life and his family’s were the most important. Thus this time, he couldn’t have any favoritism on either camp, and would judge this lawsuit fairly and justly as requested.

“Remember my request?” Xiao Luo lightly asked.

“Remember, I remember.” The presiding judge quickly nodded.

Xiao Luo said, “Just remember that. Alright, go to your place and sit down.”

“Okay.”

The presiding judge nodded, and then cast a very embarrassed look towards Bai Guoxiong on the other side, and went to his seat.

“Xiao Luo, just who are you really? Why does the presiding judge talked to you respectfully?” Shen Qingyan’s curiosity was magnified to the extreme.

“Nothing, I just went to see him last night.” Xiao Luo told the truth.

Shen Qingyan said in horror, “You’re threatening him?”

“Yes, I told him that if the decision was biased and unfair, I will inform the Disciplinary Committee of this matter. That’s my threat!” Xiao Luo nonchalantly answered.
