“I think that’s my favorite sentence that you’ve said thus far. It’s fake. It’s all fake. Wei Wei isn’t Wei De’s son. Whether you say it or whether I say it, it all doesn’t matter. We’ll leave it to science.”

They would just use the DNA test. There was no point in wasting her breath.

Because of Zhai Hua’s words, the Wei family knew that Zhai Hua had indeed gone to conduct a DNA test and probably had the results in her hand.

Father Wei’s face paled and his voice faltered. “Hua Hua, your dad farmed his whole life and didn’t get much education. But I do know one thing. Science is never a hundred percent reliable.”

Even if the DNA report said that Xiao Wei was Ah De’s son, this could always change.

“Dad? I won’t call you that anymore. I think I’ll address you as uncle. You’re right. Science isn’t a hundred percent reliable, but if you really think so, I’ll just hand the report over to the judge and see how the judge rules with the evidence. I believe in the law. Uncle, I’ve just realized that you’re good with your words, and your IQ and EQ aren’t low either. Wei De is a spitting image of you.”

In short, barking dogs did not bite. No matter how impolite it was, Father Wei seemed like the kind who would not bark but would bite even more fiercely.

Who would have thought that a farmer like Father Wei would even deny the results of the DNA report?

Withdrawing her hand from Mother Wei’s hand, Zhai Hua walked toward the court without turning back. She would never cancel this lawsuit unless Wei De gave up on being a soldier. Otherwise, Wei De would have to attend this court session whether he wanted to or not.

“Hua Hua! Hua Hua!”Mother Wei was used to Zhai Hua following her wishes no matter how angry she was. She had never expected that Zhai Hua would simply walk off in front of so many people. It was like she was a new person. The unprepared Mother Wei had no way of stopping Zhai Hua and could only call out her name while chasing her.

The moment the situation worsened, Father Wei could no longer hide his impatience and wanted very much to smoke a cigarette. However, the court was a solemn place, and in order to give a good impression, Wei De had disallowed Father Wei from bringing his cigarettes along with him. Because of his addiction to smoking, Father Wei felt utterly miserable. “Ah De, you have to be prepared. She means business. She’s not going to let you go easy on the account of your years of relations.h.i.+p.”

Mother Wei was trembling in fear. “Ah De, does that really mean that your dad and I have to go back to the countryside and start farming again after your divorce?”

Mother Wei had never enjoyed living that kind of life since she was young. All of a sudden, she had been saved from that life more than ten years ago. Mother Wei did not even want to think about returning to the countryside ever again.

Her son was a soldier and a company commander. He was an important official, so why did she have to go back to such a hard life?

Father Wei sighed. He had discussed the situation with Ah De for a long time. As long as Zhai Hua refused to change her mind, there was nothing they could do to change the situation either. The worst part was that Jiajia had witnessed the scene. Because Ah De had been at fault, Zhai Hua would not need to pay them any alimony. On the contrary, Ah De might even need to compensate her.

Jiajia would definitely choose to follow her mom, Zhai Hua. Jiajia would definitely lead a good life with Zhai Hua. Besides, they had never treated Jiajia better than Xiao Wei all these years. Jiajia was not foolish and she would have felt it too.

Father Wei was confused. Just a few days ago, he had bragged to his neighbors that his son was a company commander and that his daughter-in-law was the old chief’s daughter. Their family had been farmers for generations, but his son’s generation was different. The one thing he had done right in his life was giving birth to a son like Wei De and having a daughter-in-law like Zhai Hua.

That had just been a few days ago. His neighbors had even been envious of him being the father of a company commander. But after today, he might become nothing more than a good-for-nothing that had to return to the countryside.

“Ah De, we have no other choice. Why don’t you beg Hua Hua and sweet-talk her? What will happen to Jiajia? Doesn’t she care that Jiajia will become a fatherless child?” Mother Wei could act aggressively at home, but she did not dare to raise her voice in a solemn place like the court. Mother Wei felt her legs and stomach trembling nonstop.

If possible, she would not even want to come to such a place. “Is that DNA thing really that powerful?”

“Let’s go in.” Wei De rubbed his face. Indeed, he should find a chance to have a chat with Zhai Hua. He was not his dad or his mom, so he was clear that what he should be worried about was not just whether Zhai Hua was going to divorce him. He also had to be worried about how Zhai Hua’s a.s.sets would have nothing to do with him and how his family would never get to touch a single cent of Zhai Hua’s money ever again.

What Wei De cared most about was that his past relations.h.i.+p with Wei Xiaomei would become something that others could threaten him with. If they were to consider this carefully, he had committed bigamy and had cheated someone into marriage. The military was strict on discipline and would punish him harshly for it.

He could forget about becoming a vice battalion commander. But what if they removed his rank as a company commander and demoted him? What would he do then?

After going to court, the situation was just as bad as what the Wei family had expected. Zhai Hua did indeed have quite a lot of evidence on hand and the lawyers whom Zhai Hua had hired were all extremely eloquent, leaving the Wei family at a loss for words. Father and Mother Wei had never known that their neglect toward Jiajia could be used as a reason for divorce.

Actually, if Wei Wei did not have such a relations.h.i.+p with Wei De, the Wei family’s treatment of Jiajia would never have been such a big deal. However, Wei Wei happened to be Wei De’s son, and the Wei family had deliberately hidden this fact from Zhai Hua. Moreover, they even treated Wei Wei better than Jiajia. There was no way this would make sense.

As such, during this first session, Wei De’s lawyers had not had much time to speak before being reb.u.t.ted by the opposing lawyers. After understanding the whole matter, Wei De’s lawyers told the Wei family that there was no possibility of ever winning the case and that they should not hold such high hopes.

If the Wei family’s and Zhai family’s positions were reversed, there might still have been some hope.
