Xu Weilai stood up from her seat in the last row of the spectator’s seating area and stared straight at Bai Yufang before she walked up and stood up beside Xiao Chun to face Bai Yufang and Grandpa Gu.

Bai Yufang’s expression changed for a fleeting moment, but she quickly assumed her usual gentle expression and even flashed her a rather helpless smile before she took the lead to speak, “Weilai, perhaps you’ve misunderstood me or… you simply want to use this as a reason to ruin the wedding, but you’re making the most irrational choice now.”

After a pause, she softened her tone as if she wanted to give Xu Weilai a leeway out and suggested, “Let’s set aside our differences on a day like this and let the newlyweds take a bow first. It would be terrible if we miss the auspicious time.”

“As for the things that you want to question me about, I’ll certainly offer you an explanation after the wedding is over. Are you agreeable to this?”

Everyone could tell how confident Bai Yufang was and felt convinced that she had probably never done anything against her conscience if she could appear so self-righteous. Moreover, Grandpa Gu, too, confirmed that she had never done anything to hurt him.

What Bai Yufang had just said was simply meant to salvage Xu Weilai’s pride and to prevent Xu Weilai from continuing with the farce, which would only serve to humiliate her further.

Usually, most people would have taken the cue and backed down.

However, Xu Weilai replied without hesitation, “No.”

Tilting her chin up, she smiled calmly before she replied, “Aunt Bai, I only have a few questions. It won’t take long. As it concerns Grandpa Gu, I’m sure Gu Yu and Zuo Si wouldn’t mind sparing us a few minutes.”

Zuo Si’s expression had already darkened but she was on no grounds to voice out her protest.

Her silence implied a tacit agreement to Xu Weilai’s proposal.

Bai Yufang knew that Xu Weilai had come prepared. Xu Weilai was pressuring her through making use of the occasion and guests who were witnessing the event. Bai Yufang knew that she had no choice but to answer her questions directly but she wouldn’t do so without a fight.

“Could it be… that she already found some solid evidence?” Bai Yufang wondered.

“No. I already know the possible trump cards that she could possibly have. She could expose the video and voice recording because I’ve already hypnotized Grandpa Gu again prior to the wedding as a form of safety precaution. That’s why he would speak up for me just now,” Bai Yufang reasoned.

“Xu Weilai would only make a fool of herself if she still hoped to win the case by getting Grandpa Gu over to her side,” Bai Yufang assured herself.

“Since she wants to do this the hard way, then don’t blame me for not showing any mercy,” she decided.

As this thought crossed her mind, a look of ridicule flashed across Bai Yufang’s eyes and she replied coldly, “Fire away.”

Xu Weilai beamed before she cleared her throat and took the microphone from Xiao Chun to ask, “Aunt Bai, you said that you had no intention of hurting Grandpa Gu. If you did, then you wouldn’t just hypnotize him. You would have assured that he would never be able to wake up again, wouldn’t you?”

Bai Yufang had already answered this earlier on and felt rather impatient to hear Xu Weilai prompt her to repeat herself again. Nonetheless, she answered patiently, “Yes.”

Xu Weilai nodded before she proceeded with her next question, “But it’s true that you still stopped Grandpa Gu from regaining consciousness. You were able to get close to him to swap out his medicine, which caused him to remain in poor health. Subsequently, when he was going up the stairs, you pushed him off and caused him to slip into a coma.”

Bai Yufang felt like laughing out loud when she heard what Xu Weilai said. “Weilai, you need evidence to support any claims that you make. Where’s the evidence? Could we convict a person with just a verbal accusation now?” she retorted.

“What’s the hurry?” Xu Weilai rebutted lazily. “I’m not done yet.”
