Chapter 508

508 Negotiation Translator: Lordbluefire Dr. Zhang’s resting room was located backstage at the courthouse.

It was because before any negotiation took place, the people from the Xu and Shen families were notallowed to meet each other.

Upon hearing the commotion, Dr. Zhang instinctively looked outside but only saw the backs of the Shenfamily’s people as they passed by the entrance.

Dr. Zhang’s gaze fell on Shen Tingyan, and a sense of guilt surged up within him.

He had examined her before and found nothing wrong with her health, but pregnancy itself was trulysomething that depended on fate.

Just as Dr. Zhang was about to avert his gaze, he saw a familiar figure.

His pupils contracted slightly, and he wanted to continue looking, but the group in front had turned thecorner.

Nonetheless, this figure still made him feel shaken deep down.

Was that figure just now… his mentor? The famous Divine Doctor Jing?

This thought made him feel even more uneasy.

After Matriarch Xu feigned crying outside and ensured that public opinion was on their side, she finallybrought Xu Hao to the negotiation room.

Shen Yuansong was absent. His car was parked outside, and he was waiting for the results of thisnegotiation inside the vehicle, just like Father Xu, who also did not appear in such negotiations.

Both of them had a special status. As it concerned their family members, if they appeared in thenegotiation room, it would mean a complete rupture between the Shen and Xu families.

Shen Ruojing sat in the first row of the Shen family’s seats, her posture languid and her peach blossomeyes fixed on Xu Hao.

Xu Hao was uncomfortable under her gaze.

He tried his best to reduce his presence, but her eyes were too scorching as if she could see throughhim, making him feel like he wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.

He angrily exclaimed, “What are you looking at?”

Shen Ruojing probably intended to provoke him. “What’s wrong? You don’t like being looked at? Or isthere something you don’t want people to see?”

If Xu Hao lost his temper, it would definitely leave a bad impression on the judge.

As expected, Xu Hao exploded with anger.

As a person whose heartstrings had been touched, he stood up and was about to lose his temper.

The judge immediately pounded the table. “Alright, we’re here today to mediate and negotiate. Pleasecalm down and exercise restraint on both sides.”

Matriarch Xu immediately took Xu Hao’s hand and sighed, looking at the judge. “Your Honor, I’m sorry,but my son was provoked because they slandered him by saying that he had a physical problem.Please understand a man’s dignity.”

The judge frowned. “I understand, but if he loses control of his emotions again, we will have to ask himto leave.”

Matriarch Xu immediately nodded. “Understood.”

The judge then said, “Alright, now both sides can speak. Plaintiff, you can start first.”

Upon hearing this, Matriarch Xu immediately looked at Shen Tingyan and, in front of the judge, she puton a hypocritical facade. “Tingyan, no matter what, we’ve been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law forthree years. Things have gotten to this point, and nobody looks good in a case like this. So, I’veconvinced Little Yang and she won’t sue you. Today, we will only discuss divorce, not anything else.”

Although Little Yang was a mistress and was morally reprehensible, her action was not illegal. ButThird Madam Shen’s action of pushing her and causing a miscarriage could be considered anintentional battery.

And now that they weren’t pursuing this matter, Little Yang wouldn’t have to testify in court.

Like this, Matriarch Xu was being merciful to the Shen family on the surface, but in reality, she didn’twant Little Yang to appear in court.

What if someone saw through the loophole?!

The Xu family had indeed come prepared.

This sentence made the judge feel favorable toward the Xu family. At least for now, the Xu familywasn’t being aggressive.

Third Madam Shen also breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Regardless of whose child was in Little Yang’s belly, if the miscarriage were really pinned on ThirdMadam Shen, she wouldn’t be able to explain it even if she had ten thousand mouths.

However, Shen Tingyan tightened her jaw.

Matriarch Xu continued, “Our Xu family isn’t unreasonable. But since you can’t have children and ourfamily needs an heir, let’s negotiate here. We don’t want the 60 million compensation, but she can onlytake half of her dowry with her. The other half is to make amends and compensate Little Yang. Let’s allgo our separate ways, how about it?”

The judge nodded and then looked toward the Shen family. “What do you think?”

Shen Ruojing didn’t speak.

As an elder, Third Madam Shen spoke on behalf of Shen Tingyan, “Divorce is okay, but we need toclarify the reason for the divorce. My daughter has no health problems and can get pregnant. Thedoctor has checked her. What you said earlier is not true! We can negotiate the divorce, and we won’tpursue the matter of your son’s affair. As long as no one is at fault, the dowry can be up to you.Consider it as my daughter’s living expenses in the Xu family for three years!’

The Shen family wasn’t short on money. Even in this situation, they didn’t lack anything for theirchildren’s living expenses.

However, Matriarch Xu certainly couldn’t agree.

The Queen’s goal was to damage the reputation of the Shen family.

Hence, Matriarch Xu sneered. “You don’t want to pursue the matter of the affair? What’s there topursue? My son had no choice but to replace someone to help him have a child since your daughtercouldn’t. Is that unacceptable?”

Third Madam Shen was furious. “My daughter can have children. Her health is fine!”

Matriarch Xu sneered. “Whether she has any health problems or not, it’s up to the doctor to decide! Is ituseful for you to say all of this here?’

Upon hearing this, Shen Ruojing spoke up, “Miss Shen Tingyan has no health problems. I am a doctor,and I can attest to that.”

Matriarch Xu immediately looked at Shen Ruojing and sneered. “You’re a doctor? Miss Shen, what areyou kidding about here? Your fake diagnosis almost caused harm to my son. Can I sue you fordamaging our reputation?”

The judge frowned. “That can be a separate lawsuit. Right now, we’re discussing the divorce case.Plaintiff, do you have any evidence to support your claim that the defendant can’t have children?”

“Of course, I do!” Matriarch Xu stood up.

“To prove that my son has no problem, we have a specialist come from the capital.

“Unlike this unlicensed quack, our expert is Dr. Zhang, a famous gynecologist in the capital. I’m surewe all recognize his medical credentials, right?” The judge nodded. ‘Then please bring in the witness.”

Matriarch Xu waved her hand, and someone went to fetch Dr. Zhang.

Then, Matriarch Xu sneered and looked at Shen Ruojing. “Miss Shen, I advise you not to treat peopleanymore. It’s outrageous for someone as young as you to say that a man can’t have children. Today, I’llshow you what a real ‘I’CM doctor is like!”

With that, the door was pushed open, and Dr. Zhang walked in.

As soon as Dr. Zhang entered the room, he saw Shen Ruojing….
