The Scheming Ex-Husband's Courtship-Chapter 672 - 582 Presenting the Facts_2

Helan Ying knew what Nan Zhan was aware of, which is why for all these years, the Nan Family had steadfastly refused to acknowledge Nan Yu. Fortunately, Nan Yu himself had no interest in clinging to the Nan Family; otherwise, there would have already been a public uproar.

Nan Zhan disapproved, "I believe that as the eldest brother, my public disclosure of the matter would leave no one in doubt." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Nan Zhan." Helan Ying abruptly stood up, knocking over the chair behind her in her agitation. The delicate muscles on her face were trembling with anger, and veins were popping out of her clenched fists.

"Would you go to such lengths for that woman? You are also a member of the Nan Family."

"You forced my hand," replied Nan Zhan as he stood up, making eye contact with her, "Drop the lawsuit, and I won’t say anything. Otherwise, I have no choice."

"You..." Helan Ying, breathless with rage, clutched at her chest and stumbled. The secretary at her side quickly supported her, expressing his worry and anxiety, "Dean He."

Nan Zhan also felt a pang of pain in his heart. If it weren’t for Helan Ying’s relentless pressure, he wouldn’t have resorted to such tactics.

Even without considering Helan Ying and Nan Hanzheng, he had to think about Nan Yu’s perspective.

Therefore, this was simply a bluff to scare Helan Ying.

"You know exactly what to do, mother. You know I mean what I say," Nan Zhan said, no longer looking at Helan Ying as he strode out of the lounge.

As soon as the door closed, Helan Ying collapsed into the chair, her eyes, reddened by rage, becoming even more bloodshot.

She gripped the armrest of the chair, nearly crushing it, "Jian Si, it’s all because of that Jian Si, what kind of trick did she use to make my son so devoted to her, that slut, she is really a slut."

The secretary anxiously asked, "Dean He, what should we do next?"

Helan Ying thought for a moment, "Call Mu Rongchen over."

The secretary had just reached the door when Helan Ying stopped him again, her beautiful fingers tapping on the solid wood desk, deep in thought.

"Nan Zhan, he’s just trying to scare me."

When Nan Zhan returned to the lounge, Jian Si was still trying to contact Nan Yu, but to no avail.

Jian Si shook her head: "I’ve notified his familiar colleagues, but I’m afraid he won’t be able to make it."

"No matter, we have other ways. I promised you that I would win this lawsuit, and I won’t go back on my word." Nan Zhan placed his hand on her shoulder, gently pressing down, and revealed a radiant smile.

Jian Chuan, who was beside them, saw the intimate interaction between the two and could guess what was happening. He teased with a smile at the corner of his mouth, "Wow, when did you two get together?"

Jian Si, who had almost forgotten Jian Chuan was there, awkwardly pushed Nan Zhan’s hand away.

Nan Zhan looked at her nonchalantly with a smile, responding to Jian Chuan’s remark: "Your sister is very stubborn."

Jian Chuan said, "Lawyer Nan, you must treat my sister well. She and Zhengzheng are the closest people to me in this world."

At this point, all three fell silent.

What Mu Rongchen said in court was like a hammer to Jian Si’s heart. She dragged someone to bring money and clothes to Jian Hedong every week, but they were always returned untouched. She knew Jian Hedong wanted to completely sever ties, thinking that his actions had severely tarnished their lives.

With just two minutes left before the court session, Nan Yu’s phone still couldn’t be reached, and Jian Si finally gave up.

She couldn’t guess what method Nan Zhan would use to clear her name, but it was sure to be a scorch-the-earth tactic.

When the court reconvened, there was something slightly amiss in the atmosphere.

Helan Ying’s expression was grave, and a thick sneer and resentment flickered in the depths of her eyes upon seeing Jian Si.

Jian Si could only pretend not to notice, but she felt very uncomfortable inside. Regardless of everything, she didn’t want to have a fallout with Helan Ying, after all, that was Nan Zhan’s mother.

The presiding judge first made a lengthy summary, and then naturally broached the issue of the photographs.

"If the defendant cannot provide reasonable evidence to prove her innocence, we will deliver the verdict immediately. Such behavior from the defendant could have extremely negative effects on the child’s upbringing."

Jian Si hurriedly said, "Your Honor, the panel of judges, every word I have said is true. It’s just that I can’t get hold of my friend right now to testify in court. Please give me some time; as soon as I contact him, I’ll have him rush over immediately."

Mu Rongchen said, "Defendant, during the adjournment you probably have already conspired to get your story straight. Even if your friend were to testify now, it wouldn’t be credible. A mother’s impropriety will inevitably have adverse effects on the next generation. For the future living environment and ideological education of Jian Zheng, I strongly suggest that custody be given to Madam Helan Ying."

"Can you just make slanderous allegations based on a few photos?" Jian Si glared at Mu Rongchen, "I don’t know if Lawyer Mu has children, but if you do, I’d suggest you let someone else raise them too, because not being virtuous also affects a child’s living environment and education."

Mu Rongchen didn’t expect to be publicly refuted by a girl in court, and his face turned sour, "Your Honor, I think the defendant is emotionally agitated and cannot produce any new evidence. Please deliver your verdict."

The presiding judge nodded, reviewing the materials submitted to him one after another, while the panel of judges huddled in discussion.

Just as the presiding judge was about to make a decision, Nan Zhan suddenly stood up, "Your Honor, I can testify on behalf of my client."

The presiding judge looked at him in surprise, "Defense counsel, your oral testimony is invalid."

"I know, but I must present the facts," he turned to the clearly nervous Helan Ying, "Isn’t that right, Madam Helan Ying?"
