Kangxin left, like a driven snake, wandering away in despair.
The security guard was very conscientious and took her out of the community and put her in a taxi. Then she returned to the guard room and called her back.
The security guards in upscale communities are never as arrogant as those in civilian communities, not only because of the high wages, but also because they know that they cannot afford to offend every family living here.
Julie was quite depressed at first, but after an hour or two she thought about it. What else could she do now? Of course, remarriage was the most important thing. She didn't want the child to be without a father when he was born, and she was also afraid that Su Mingcheng would really testify against Amy. Then where would she find happiness for the rest of her life?
She chose her parents the previous two times, and her life ended up in a mess. This time she must not just follow Kang Xin again. As for the relationship between her parents-in-law and her son-in-law, life is still very long. After decades, she can always find it. Opportunities to alleviate conflicts.
So no matter from the rational level or the emotional level, she has every reason to make this choice.
"This house...really belongs to you?"
"Not legally, but practically."
Julie was confused by him: "What do you mean?"
Lin Yue said: "On behalf of you."
"Agent?" Zhu Li thought about it and understood. In the case of the Su family, if Su Daqiang knew that Su Mingcheng was so rich, could the boss and the third child hold on? It must be a bunch of bad things again, it is better to be a poor mother and son in the eyes of those people, and cause less trouble for yourself and less trouble.
"Then where did you get so much money to buy a villa and a luxury car?"
Lin Yue said: "Do you know what the high point of Bitcoin was before the year? 20,000 US dollars. Then do you know what the low point will be after the year? More than 6,000. Taking advantage of the launch of Bitcoin futures, I found someone to make an order ten times the price. Leveraged short orders.”
"Short Bitcoin?" Zhu Li is an auditor after all, and she still has some financial knowledge.
"Do you think that when I went to the United States a year ago, I just sent the old man to find the boss?"
"..."
Zhu Li looked at that face carefully, and it was clear that he was Su Mingcheng, the man she had been married to for seven or eight years. However, since Zhao Meilan died, she had a very strange feeling--Su Mingcheng was no longer The Su Mingcheng from before seemed to be a different person.
Could it be that... Zhao Meilan's death stimulated him too much?
At this moment, just the sound of footsteps outside was heard, and the nanny who went out to buy fish opened the door and walked in. She was carrying a black plastic bag in her hand. It looked quite heavy. It seemed that the carp inside was the carp Su Mingcheng asked her to buy.
"The doorman gave this to me when I came back."
Sister Wei handed an EMS file bag to Lin Yue.
"Ah……"
When his eyes touched the sender's column, a trace of sarcasm appeared on his face.
Sister Wei glanced at Zhu Li and pointed to the kitchen: "Then I'll go cook."
"Go ahead."
Lin Yue waved his hand and threw the document bag on the table.
"summons?"
Julie was very curious. She took it in her hand and looked at it for a few times. Then she tore off the sealing sticker and took out the contents. She was stunned.
"Your father...sued you?"
The content of the subpoena shows that Su Daqiang filed a lawsuit in the Wuzhong District People's Court, requiring Su Mingcheng to fulfill his obligation to support the elderly in accordance with the law.
As for the court date, it will be two weeks later, on March 19th.
Su Mingcheng failed to fulfill his support obligations?
He sold his house and car and raised 1.8 million to give to Su Daqiang.
"He...how could he be so un...like?"
Julie wanted to say that the old guy was shameless.
Lin Yue said: "With Su Mingyu making suggestions from behind, everything is possible."
"Then what are you going to do?"
"When the soldiers come, the water will be blocked and the earth will cover it up."
Julie confirmed his look: "Don't accept mediation?"
"Why do you need to accept mediation?" Lin Yue said: "He likes to act like a monster, and I will accompany him to the end."
Yes, Su Mingyu initiated this matter, but without Su Daqiang's approval, could the indictment be handed over?
In fact, he even knew the basics of those people, that is, Su Mingcheng and Su Mingyu paid for the house, and he was responsible for all matters except money. For example, if Su Daqiang was sick, he would take him to see a doctor. For example, if the water pipe at home burst, the air conditioner was broken, He found someone to fix it.
Julie looked at his face, and a feeling of sympathy arose spontaneously.
Su Daqiang kept tossing his children, and Kang Xin was the same. No matter how she explained it, Su Mingcheng was a useless mama's boy in her eyes. This was not good, and that was not good. She tried every means to break them up.
"well."
She placed a hand on her belly as she sighed.
"Is there a big reaction?"
She was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses and shook her head: "Just lately... I feel like eating something sour."
…
Half a month passed quickly.
The time came for the court day.
Today was Monday, and Su Mingzhe didn't show up. The excuse was that he was busy with work, but both Wu Fei and Su Mingyu knew that he couldn't bear to face Su Mingcheng... No, he should have said that he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
First, the brother and sister turned against each other at their mother's funeral, then the father issued a statement in the Gusu Evening News severing the relationship between father and son, and now he has
The second son, who has severed the relationship between father and son, went to court to demand that he fulfill his obligation to support the elderly. This is not only a betrayal of his promise, but also shameless.
As a doctor studying in the United States, Su Mingzhe is also the eldest son of the family. It would be strange to have such a big deal on his face, so he simply didn’t come. Wu Fei represented him in court, which not only avoided the embarrassment of seeing the second child, but also left room for him to talk to others. He disagreed. It was Su Daqiang and Lao San who insisted on suing Lao Er. No matter whether they were deceiving themselves or others, they would feel better if they did so.
Wu Fei did not enter the court and kept waiting at the door. Although it was already the beginning of spring, the weather in March still had a bit of winter coldness. Her face was a little red and her eyebrows were slightly frowned.
"Sister-in-law, where is Xiaomi?"
The Mercedes-Benz drove into the compound. Su Mingyu saw her standing at the door, so she parked nearby, lowered the window and asked.
Wu Fei said: "Her grandma is watching."
"Oh." Su Mingyu turned to look at the co-pilot: "Dad, get off here and I'll park the car."
The passenger door opened, and Su Daqiang stepped out of the car. Today's court session was held, and he even put on the coat Su Mingyu bought for him to retire in the United States. He looked... well... human-like.
After a while, Su Mingyu found an empty space, parked the car, took Su Daqiang to find the direction, and walked to the Second Civil Trial Court.
"Where's Mingcheng? I haven't seen anyone else."
Su Daqiang looked left and right, but found no sign of his second son, and the Chevrolet Cruze he usually drove was not there either.
Su Mingyu snorted coldly: "Does he have the nerve to come?"
"Then if he doesn't come, what will happen to the lawsuit?"
Su Daqiang said he was worried that Su Mingcheng wouldn't come, but the flesh on his face was honest. He looked a lot more relaxed and his steps were brisk.
Su Mingyu said: "It doesn't matter whether he comes or not, it will not affect the judge's decision."
"oh."
Su Daqiang agreed and said nothing.
The reason why he went out of his way to sue Su Mingcheng in court was because as long as he did so, Su Mingyu agreed to pay part of the money to buy him a house, and promised that the three-bedroom apartment would not shrink. Of course, the care work after buying the house must be done. Su Mingcheng carried it down.
"Sister-in-law, I'll take dad to the back. You go to the Second Civil Trial Court to wait."
"good."
Just like that, the two sides said goodbye. Wu Fei searched along the corridor and found the Second Civil Trial Chamber at the end. When she submitted her ID card and passed the inspection, she opened the door and walked into the hall. When she saw the people sitting in the auditorium, she called Startled.
There were many people and dozens of seats were basically occupied.
You must know that this is a civil lawsuit, not a criminal case with far-reaching consequences. Why are so many people coming? Most of them are elderly people.
She looked at those people, and those people looked at her.
In order to avoid receiving too much attention, she quickly found an empty seat and sat down.
At this time, there was a whisper from the front.
"Is this person who just came here Su Daqiang's daughter-in-law?"
"should be."
"That one, boss? Does she have the nerve to come?"
"Oh, this old Su family has been a big news every few days since the death of Zhao Meilan. Now if the children and the elderly are gathering together, if they don't talk about the Su family, they are not from Delhi."
"Everyone used to envy their family. The eldest son was good at studying and promising. He went to Stanford. The third son was more independent and worked as a senior executive in a big company. The second son was always by his side. He was good at coaxing people and was filial. Now, they still envy Lao Su. Home? Why do we have such a weird family in Delhi?"
"..."
Are all these people who came to listen in the same neighborhood from Delhi?
Who informed them? Su Mingcheng?
Wu Fei also saw a few people in the first row holding small notebooks. Look at their clothes... were they reporters?
She was about to call Su Mingyu to tell Su Mingyu about the situation in the auditorium. The side door of the trial court opened and Su Daqiang walked out accompanied by his daughter. When he saw the people sitting in the auditorium, his facial expression was wonderful.
Director Gao.
Lao Yuan.
Old Song Dynasty.
Lao Zhao.
Swallows at the lottery shop.
Nie Laijin.
And the neighbors in Delhi.
…
Either they are colleagues from the workplace, or friends and neighbors from the country, and 90% of the people sitting in the auditorium are his acquaintances.
Isn't it a civil case? Why is there such a big fuss?
Su Daqiang couldn't understand, and felt even more uneasy because his relatives and friends saw him coming out and pointing. Some had calm expressions, some showed disdain, and some were smiling, but they were not smiling like asking "Have you eaten?" after meeting. It was a mocking smile.
There are many people living in Tongli, but no family is like the Su family. They published newspapers to sever the relationship between father and son, and went to court to demand support. Su Daqiang's previous thought was that since he no longer lives in the old house, it will be difficult to meet these people in the future. He can say whatever he likes, as long as I live a comfortable life.
However, he never expected that at this critical moment, acquaintances would come together to watch his joke.
As to why these people appeared here, Su Mingyu had the answer, because her nominal second brother Su Mingcheng walked out of the door on the other side and politely nodded and smiled at the uncles and aunts in the auditorium.
There is no doubt that he found these people.
And those people who wear suits and glasses and hold
A small notebook and pen, it seems that the person who is taking minutes of the meeting is probably some media reporter. Audio and video recording are not allowed in the court, but writing materials is no problem.
These guys who rely on other people's scandals to make a living are dirty!
As the old saying goes, family scandals should not be made public, but what did Su Mingcheng do? Scum!
Another thing that surprised Su Mingyu was that Su Mingcheng did not hire a lawyer and showed up alone. Think about it, how could a poor man with no extraordinary talents afford a lawyer.
After the plaintiff and defendant entered the court, the next step was the adjudicating party, which consisted of a female judge and a clerk. After all, it was a civil dispute, and it was not a major case.
However, it was obvious that the female judge did not expect so many people to come to the auditorium. She was stunned for a moment before saying, "Let's get started," and then the clerk read out the court discipline.
Next, lawyer Liu, who is familiar with Su Mingyu, will provide evidence to the court.
The female judge looked at the materials in her hand and couldn't help but frown slightly. She was very unhappy with the children of the Su family. Su Daqiang's monthly pension was more than 5,000, and the reimbursement rate of medical insurance was also very high. For ordinary families, basically There is no need for children to worry about it. Now that the dispute has reached the point of facing Bo in court, one can imagine how unpopular his second son Su Mingcheng is with his father. The key is that this kid refused to mediate before the trial. He is definitely the kind of person who is looking for trouble over trivial matters. The guy who makes a lot of noise.
"Defendant, do you have any counter-evidence to the plaintiff's request for you to fulfill your support obligations?"
"have."
Lin Yueming knew that severing the relationship between father and son in a newspaper was not recognized by law, but he still handed over a copy of the Suzhou Evening News: "Su Daqiang severed the relationship between father and son with me years ago."
Lawyer Liu then retorted: "I think the evidence submitted by Mr. Su has no legal significance. Only Article 1111 of the Civil Code stipulates that the rights and obligations between adopted children and their biological parents and other close relatives are terminated upon the establishment of the adoption relationship. , Su Mingcheng is now an adult, and the father-son relationship between him and Mr. Su Daqiang is not recognized by law unless one of them dies naturally, and it cannot be terminated by a statement."
The female judge nodded and looked at Lin Yue: "Does the defendant have anything else to say?"
"I want witnesses to come to court."
"Can."
As soon as the female judge finished speaking, the side door of the court opened and a middle-aged man walked out.
Su Daqiang took a closer look and his expression changed slightly.
"Lao He, what's wrong with him?"
The witness was none other than his colleague Lao He. It was Lao He who "starred" when he went to Su Mingyu's house for dinner.
Su Mingyu waved her hand to signal him to be quiet.
Lao He walked to the witness box and sat down.
Lin Yue said: "Uncle He, did I give a bank card with 1.8 million yuan to Su Daqiang last winter?"
Lao He nodded.
"In there is 1.8 million that I raised from selling my house and car. I took a photo of the card number. Later, you used it to invest in trusts and were defrauded of all the money. Su Daqiang, is this correct?" Lin Yue turned around and asked Su Daqiang.
"No...that's right."
Nie Laijin is down there, and there are bank transfer records, police records, etc. Naturally, it cannot be denied.
"Then let me ask you again, do you have an account book specifically used to record the money you have invested in your children over the years? This money is used to repay the debts recorded in that account book, right?"
Su Daqiang: "..."
"Yes or no."
"Yes Yes……"
He nodded and admitted, and there was an uproar in the auditorium. Everyone only knew that Su Mingcheng sold the house and car, and collected 1.8 million to return to Su Daqiang. However, they did not know that Su Daqiang had an account book specially used to settle the parenting accounts with his children.
"It's amazing, it's amazing. You'll have to remember your children's debt and settle the matter later."
"This is to guard against the child since he was a child. I can't do it anyway."
"No wonder father and son turned against each other. I can't accept this."
"Is the divorce between Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li related to this matter?"
"Can't be wrong."
"So, Su Daqiang single-handedly ruined his second son's family. If Zhao Meilan knew about it, I'm afraid she would be very angry."
"..."
Wu Fei frowned frequently as she watched from the side. These people must have come to see the excitement in the Su family...
Da da da~
Da da da~
The judge sitting in the courtroom picked up the gavel and knocked: "Quiet."
Everyone in the audience just shut up and stopped talking.
At this time, Lawyer Liu said: "Judge, what Su Mingcheng paid was the debt on the account book. The two parties did not make any additional agreement on Su Daqiang's support issue, so I think Su Mingcheng still needs to bear the responsibility of supporting the elderly together with Su Mingzhe and Su Mingyu." Responsibility."
"shameless!"
Lao Song couldn't help but cursed, causing his son to go bankrupt and the couple to divorce and still have the honor to ask for alimony. He really didn't expect that Su Daqiang could do such a thing.
A lawyer must be thick-skinned and act like he didn't hear anything; Su Mingyu had a mentality that it had nothing to do with him; Su Daqiang's cheeks trembled, and he couldn't pretend that nothing happened, because Lao Song was his colleague.
"Quiet! Quiet!"
The judge glared at the auditorium. In order not to be kicked out, Lao Song and several neighbors had no choice but to keep their mouths shut.
Lawyer Liu added: "Judge, considering
Regarding Mr. Su Mingcheng’s financial situation, my clients, Mr. Su Mingzhe and Ms. Su Mingyu, believe that if he can be responsible for the daily affairs of the elderly, the alimony can be reduced or reduced as appropriate. "
Lin Yue sneered and said: "Your client, Mr. Su Mingzhe, went to the United States for more than ten years and only came back three times until his mother passed away. Your other client, Ms. Su Mingyu, had severed ties with her parents for ten years. During this period, I He and his ex-wife Zhu Li spent holidays with them, treated them, and often went home to visit. According to you, they don’t want to take care of Su Daqiang’s life, they just want to get money to escape their responsibilities.”
Lawyer Liu said: "Mr. Su, as far as I know, what you said is not true." After that, he said to the female judge: "Judge, I apply for witnesses to appear in court."
The judge nodded.
Soon, the prosecution witness walked out of the side door.
Someone in the auditorium frowned, because it was none other than Zhao Meilan's younger brother, Zhao Zheng, the uncle of Su Mingyu, Su Mingzhe, and Su Mingcheng.
Zhao Zheng walked to the witness stand, read out the oath, nodded and bowed to the female judge, with a flattering look on his face.
As for the people sitting in the gallery, although there were many acquaintances present, he didn't care at all.
Lawyer Liu asked: "Mr. Zhao, what is your relationship with Su Daqiang?"
Zhao Zheng said: "He is my brother-in-law."
Lawyer Liu asked again: "The defendant, Mr. Su Mingcheng, said that he and his ex-wife have taken care of his parents for more than ten years. Is this true?"
"That's not true." Zhao Zheng looked at Lin Yue with a smile: "Every time my nephew comes home, he always waits for the Sanbao Palace without anything to do. Oh no, I said it wrong. I said it wrong. It should be to show hospitality without having anything to do, or to commit adultery or theft." , my sister often complains in front of my wife and me, saying that her second son borrows money as soon as he comes home, and borrows money as soon as he comes home, which makes her and her brother-in-law’s lives very stretched and difficult.”
Lin Yue burst into laughter. This Zhao Zheng was scolded by him at the funeral and ran away with his wife in despair. Now that he has found an opportunity to take revenge on him, why not try his best? Look at this witness testimony... Ninety-nine percent of it is... Someone had written it for him to memorize. Otherwise, how could someone with primary school education use words like "struggled" and "living hard".
He looked at Su Mingyu again, and the woman was looking at him coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in the corner of her mouth, and a bit of pride in her eyes, as if to say, "You didn't expect that, did you?"
