My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

55  Chapter 55 Lawyer, Court Preparation (Second update)

In the room.

Song Zhizhi was holding her cell phone, typing furiously, "Haven't you been speaking to your family about this?"

"Did you receive a notice of breakup?" The other end countered.

Song Zhizhi pursed her lips.

What a way to talk to someone.

"I have some other matters to attend to, talk to you later." Ji Baijian sent another text message.

Song Zhizhi looked at the phone, telling herself not to get angry, it was her health that would suffer from the anger. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She breathed deeply, placed the phone aside, and closed her eyes to think about things.

This morning, she received a phone call from the hospital from the prosecution department. Due to the presence of corroborative evidence and witnesses, the court hearing was set for the following Monday, which was five days away. During these five days, she wondered if Ji Baijian had made any new progress. If he had, he should let her know, right?

She bit her lip. God gave her the chance to be reborn, she absolutely couldn't let herself die at this critical moment!

As Song Zhizhi thought about things, she fell asleep, only to be awoken by the sound of her phone ringing.

Looking at the caller ID, she picked up, "Dad."

"Yes." His voice was cold and severe on the other end.

"Why are you calling me, Dad?" Song Zhizhi's tone was cordial, clearly trying to curry favor.

The voice on the other end remained cold, "The trial is next Monday, I've already arranged a lawyer for you. I don't care what you're thinking right now, I'll just inform you of my decision."

Song Zhizhi bit her lip.

Song Shan, her father, ignored his daughter's emotions and continued, "Your aunt and Xiaofei have forgiven you and reached a consensus. Xiaofei will, as the victim, plead with the judge at the trial on Monday to lessen your criminal charges. You must behave well in court."

With that, he was about to hang up.

"Wait, Dad, can I find my own lawyer?" Song Zhizhi hurriedly said.

"Song Zhizhi!" Song Shan angrily rebuked, "I've already discussed it with the lawyer, and he will do his best to help get your sentence reduced! Don't test my limits!"

So these past few days, her father must have gone to great lengths because of her.

She said, "I don't want to waste Dad's efforts, I just want to resolve this matter myself. Everybody knows I will be sentenced, I don't mind how long or short, but I want to fight for myself one more time. Please let me, Dad."

"Do whatever you want!" Song Shan furiously hung up the phone.

Song Zhizhi looked at her phone and sighed.

If she couldn't clear her name this time, let alone marrying into the Ji Family, she would never be able to hold her head up in the Song Family again. From now on, everything would be controlled by Nie Family's mother and daughter.

Such a cunning and malevolent mother-daughter pair!

Song Zhizhi got out of bed, it was already evening.

Song Zhidao was watching TV in the living room, while Luo Xiaolang was... doing handstands in the living room?!

When Song Zhizhi appeared, Song Zhidao glanced at her, and Luo Xiaolang came down from the wall.

"Master." Luo Xiaolang bowed formally.

"Call me Song Zhizhi." Song Zhizhi found it hard to accept the formalities.

"Okay." Luo Xiaolang nodded.

"Are you hungry? I'll order dinner." Song Zhidao already started to order dinner as he spoke.

After ordering the dinner, Song Zhizhi sat down next to Song Zhidao, while Luo Xiaolang continued doing handstands.

"How many days off have you taken?" Song Zhizhi asked her younger brother.

"A week."

"Can you help me visit Mingxuan Law Firm to find Lawyer Wen Tian tomorrow?" Song Zhizhi said.

"Who?" Song Zhidao frowned, "Dad told me that he has already hired the most famous lawyer in Jin City for you."

"Just do as I say, no questions asked." Song Zhizhi didn't want to explain.

Sometimes, explanations were useless.

Song Zhidao wanted to say something more, but Song Zhizhi had already got up and squatted in front of Luo Xiaolang.

Luo Xiaolang turned his eyes to her.

Song Zhizhi asked, "Do you usually do this?"

"Whenever I have nothing to do." Luo Xiaolang answered straightforwardly.

"Do you know how to use a cell phone?"

"I'll take you shopping tomorrow." Song Zhizhi smiled.

"Okay." Luo Xiaolang nodded.

Song Zhizhi found her little bodyguard strangely adorable, and continued chatting with him.

Song Zhidao looked at his sister, his brows furrowed.

At this critical moment, was his sister really not feeling panicked at all?

He was really worried about her.

...

The next morning.

Song Zhizhi went to the police station again, and Song Zhidao went to the Mingxuan Law Firm.

After reporting, she took Luo Xiaolang shopping at the mall.

She first bought him a cell phone, input her own number into it, taught him how to use it, and then bought him several sets of sportswear and shoes, which would be suitable for his daily exercises.

After shopping for half a day, she returned home just as Song Zhidao and Lawyer Wen Tian arrived at the Song family's separate house.

Wen Tian was a new lawyer, unrecognized, but having lived a previous life, Song Zhizhi knew that his abilities were exceptional. Now that she had given him an opportunity to showcase his skills, he would certainly be grateful in the future.

Nie Wenzhi gritted her teeth and said, "It's understandable. Song Zhizhi certainly doesn't want to be wronged like this, she would definitely resist. Hence, she deliberately rejected the lawyer arranged by Song Shan. But with enough evidence and witnesses, does Song Zhizhi think she can clear her name? Especially when she hired that little lawyer Wen Tian... ha, Song Zhizhi is just daydreaming."

"Lawyer Wen, nice to meet you." Song Zhizhi reached out to shake his hand.

Wen Tian was pleasantly surprised, he wore a pair of scholarly glasses, and returned her handshake saying, "Nice to meet you too, Miss Song. I'm not quite sure, why did you contact me?"

"Because I believe in your capabilities." Song Zhizhi gave a radiant smile, "Let's sit down and talk about the case."

Seeing that Song Zhizhi didn't want to elaborate further, Wen Tian didn't dawdle; they started working on the case together.

After discussing for the whole day and ensuring that all her ideas had been communicated to Wen Tian, Song Zhizhi asked Wen Tian to leave the separate house.

She figured that Nie Wenzhi, that woman, should know that she had hired another lawyer. But because the lawyer she chose was not famous, she would not take it seriously.

As expected, at this very moment, in the residence at the Song family compound, Nie Wenzhi and Nie Xiaofei were in their room. Nie Xiaofei said dissatisfiedly, "What the hell is Song Zhizhi thinking? She doesn't want the lawyer arranged for her. What on earth does she want to do? Does she think she can make a big splash?"

Nie Wenzhi gritted her teeth and said, "It's understandable. Song Zhizhi certainly doesn't want to be wronged like this, she would definitely resist. Hence, she deliberately rejected the lawyer arranged by Song Shan. But with enough evidence and witnesses, does Song Zhizhi think she can clear her name? Especially when she hired that little lawyer Wen Tian... ha, Song Zhizhi is just daydreaming."

After listening to her mother's analysis, Nie Xiaofei laughed wickedly, "This time we'll see if we can't kill Song Zhizhi!"

Nie Wenzhi also smirked, her expression cunning, "Song Zhizhi wants to get away from me and marry into the Ji Family… she is still too naive!"

"Mom is the best." Nie Xiaofei flattered.

Nie Wenzhi proudly answered, "Learn some things from me."

"Yes, yes, yes."

The mother and daughter immersed themselves in their joy.
