When Xiao Luo saw Su Bei, the little girl had already fallen asleep on the bed. She was breathing shallowly, and there were still traces of tears at the corners of her eyes. Her eyes were closed quietly, and her long and narrow eyelashes were like small fans, casting a faint shadow.
"Xiaobei …"
Xiao Luo sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out, and gently stroked her little face with the back of his hand.
He did not know if it was because she was dreaming of him, or because she sensed that he was here, but the little girl murmured "Daddy" incoherently.
Hearing this, Xiao Luo's heart almost melted. He had an instinctive desire to protect Su Bei. The first time they met, he had an indescribable feeling for her, as if they had known each other for a long time, as if she was his family.
"Mr. Xiao Luo, don't worry. Xiaobei is doing well here. My grandfather and father love her very much. She is my biological daughter, and as her father, I also like her very much. I will never let her suffer the slightest grievance. "
Bai Yuquan saw the extremely caring and loving light in Xiao Luo's eyes, and immediately spoke up. This was an excellent opportunity to get closer to Xiao Luo.
Xiao Luo did not speak. He looked around the room and found that the room's decoration was not bad. It was pink, and it was very warm. It was obvious that some effort had been put into it. He was not as eager to get Su Bei back as Su Li was. After all, he and Su Li were not Su Bei's biological parents.
Moreover, the Bai family really liked Su Bei. With the Bai family's care, Su Bei's future would definitely be bright. The Bai family would pave everything for her in advance. If the court awarded custody of Su Bei to the Bai family, it would not be a bad thing.
"Why did you abandon her back then?" Xiao Luo asked.
Bai Yuquan smiled bitterly. "To tell you the truth, Mr. Xiao Luo, Su Li's elder sister, Su Jing, was bewitched by her mother. She mixed something in the tea I drank with her, and in a daze, I had sex with her. After that, I thought that since we had already had sex, I should be responsible for Su Jing.
But when my grandfather found out about it, he strongly objected to me being responsible for such a woman. I had no choice but to leave. Later on, I found out that Su Jing was pregnant with my child. She threatened me with death and asked me to go back. I thought she was just joking, but who would have thought that she would really slit her wrists and commit suicide? "
"You actually have such a secret history. Not bad, very powerful!" Xiao Luo snorted.
He thought of himself and Su Li. Wasn't it also a coincidence that Su Li's mother had gotten together? It was almost the same thing, but the results were different.
"I actually regret it. Although Su Jing used underhanded means, I have to admit that I have feelings for her," Bai Yuquan said with a frown.
"Forget about being wise in hindsight. I despise such people the most," Xiao Luo said lightly.
Bai Yuquan smiled awkwardly and shook his head helplessly. "I despise such people too. I didn't think that I would become such a person today. How embarrassing."
"That's enough. I don't want to get too close to anyone in the Bai family. I will always be wary of the Bai family."
Xiao Luo raised his hand. How could he not know what Bai Yuquan was planning? Bai Yuquan was only trying to get close to him because of his strength. He was able to put aside his hatred for his brother-in-law, Zhuo Yuze, to talk and laugh with him. This Bai Yuquan could be considered someone. If they were in troubled times, he would have achieved great things. Even now, if Bai Yuquan was given enough time, he would be able to achieve great things.
"Mr. Xiao Luo, you really don't have to do this. Zhuo Yuze's death was entirely his own fault. His position in the Bai family was already low. If he died, so be it. My sister can just marry another man," Bai Yuquan said.
Xiao Luo did not express any opinion on this. He just sneered.
"I believe that tomorrow's court will be a fair and just environment. No matter what the final verdict is, I will gladly accept it. Of course, if Xiao Bei's custody is awarded to the Bai family, I sincerely hope that Mr. Xiao Luo can come often. The doors of the Bai family will always be open to Mr. Xiao Luo," Bai Yuquan said sincerely.
Xiao Luo patted him on the shoulder and smiled faintly. "Bai Yuquan, we are really not that close, so you don't have to be so enthusiastic. Haven't you heard of the saying, 'Warm faces are cold buttocks'? Mine may not be cold buttocks, but yours is definitely warm."
Bai Yuquan's brows furrowed slightly, but they quickly relaxed. With a smile, he said, "I'm opening my heart to make friends with Mr. Xiao Luo. Mr. Xiao Luo, give me a chance."
"Stop, there is no need for us to continue this conversation!"
This Bai Yuquan was really good at making friends. Xiao Luo did not want to talk to him anymore, in case he really became friends with him.
…
…
The next day, Su Li and the Bai family went to court on the issue of Su Xiaobei's custody. Of course, this trial was not open to the public. Other than the close family members of both parties who had the right to enter the court to listen in, no one else was allowed to enter.
In the magnificent and dignified courtroom, the whole place was extremely solemn. Even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
Xiao Luo, Su Li, Shen Qingyan, and the female lawyer, Ning Wanxiu, were on one side, while Bai Yuquan, Bai Xuenan, Bai Ying, and Bai Guoxiong were on the other side. The sides were clear.
"Are you really confident in winning this case?" Xiao Luo asked Su Li with concern.
Su Li nodded slightly. "Yes."
"Alright, good luck. Although I don't know what cards you have in your hands, you are my wife. I believe in you." Xiao Luo reached out and scratched her delicate nose.
Su Li's cheeks were slightly red. She felt embarrassed to do such an intimate act in front of so many people.
Not long after, the presiding judge and the other judges came out.
Before the presiding judge sat down in his seat, he deliberately walked over and greeted Xiao Luo respectfully. With a smile, he said, "Mr. Xiao, you're here!"
Last night, he was quite frightened. Xiao Luo had stomped a big hole in the floor of their house right in front of him. He only had one request, and that was to judge this lawsuit fairly. Faced with such a monster, he did not even have the thought of calling the police. The police definitely could not deal with such a monster. The lives of himself and his family were the most important. This time, he would not be biased. He would definitely judge this lawsuit fairly.
"Do you remember my request?" Xiao Luo asked calmly.
"Yes, yes." The presiding judge nodded hurriedly.
Xiao Luo said, "It's good that you remember. Go to your seat and sit down."
"Okay."
The presiding judge nodded in acknowledgment. Then, he cast an embarrassed look at Bai Guoxiong on the other side and walked to his seat.
"Xiao Luo, hurry up and tell us honestly. Who are you? Why does the presiding judge have to speak to you so respectfully? "Shen Qingyan's curiosity was magnified to the extreme.
"It's nothing. I went to see him once last night." Xiao Luo told her the truth.
Shen Qingyan was horrified. "Did you threaten him?"
