Naturally, Shen Qingyan did not believe Xiao Luo's explanation. Based on her current understanding of Xiao Luo, she guessed that Xiao Luo must have brought a knife to the presiding judge's house last night.
Of course, she did not ask further.
After that, the court session began, and the lawyers from both sides quickly began a heated debate.
Bai Yuquan's lawyer made a series of statements about Su Xiaobei being Bai Yuquan's biological daughter. From the Bai family's family background, economic strength, and other superior conditions, he believed that Bai Yuquan was the most suitable candidate to have custody of Su Xiaobei, and that he could provide Su Xiaobei with a healthy and happy environment to grow up in.
Su Li's lawyer, Ning Wanxiu, was not to be outdone. She believed that Su Li could give Su Xiaobei whatever the Bai family could. Moreover, Su Xiaobei had been raised by Su Li since she was born, and she had a deep relationship with Su Li. If Su Xiaobei's custody was awarded to Bai Yuquan at this time, it would undoubtedly be a childhood trauma for Su Xiaobei, and it would be detrimental to her physical and mental health.
Xiao Luo sat in the gallery, and it was as if he was watching a fierce debate. The lawyers on both sides were eloquent and highly professional.
After a heated debate, the presiding judge's focus was obviously on Bai Yuquan's side. It was not because of the Bai family's influence, but because Su Xiaobei was Bai Yuquan's biological daughter, Su Li did not have an advantage. Even if Su Li's lawyer had exaggerated things, it could not change the fact that Su Li was Su Xiaobei's aunt, and Bai Yuquan was Su Xiaobei's biological father.
"Little Brother Xiao, you shouldn't have any objections, right? This is indeed fair and just!"
Bai Guoxiong sat not far from Xiao Luo, holding a dragon-headed walking stick with both hands. His aged face was full of gratification, and he looked like a winner. "Just the thought of this old man having such a cute and beautiful great-granddaughter makes me feel so happy and at ease."
"Old Master, the final result is not out yet. Don't be happy too early," Xiao Luo reminded him with a smile.
Bai Guoxiong chuckled and spread out his hands. "Is there any suspense in the outcome? Xiao Bei's custody will definitely be awarded to our Bai family."
Bai Ying, Bai Xuenan, Yu Yasi, and the others all had smiles on their faces. Su Xiaobei was a member of their Bai Family, and the blood of the Bai Family flowed in her body. There was no doubt that she should be awarded to the Bai Family.
Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows and smiled without saying a word. In fact, no matter what the result was, he could accept it. The Bai family could indeed give Su Bei more love. Su Bei would become a real princess in the Bai family, surrounded by stars and moon.
Of course, in his heart, he was biased towards Su Bei returning to Su Li's side.
"Miss Su, do you have anything else to say?"
The presiding judge motioned for Su Li's side to speak. In fact, he was giving Su Li's side a last chance. If they still couldn't move him or provide more persuasive things, he would award Su Li's custody to the Bai family.
"Presiding judge, all judges, we still have something to say."
Ning Wanxiu stood up and motioned for her assistant to pass a document to the presiding judge and other judges. "Now, in the presiding judge's hand is a medical receipt from Changjiang Hospital in Xiahai. It's the proof of Su Jing's IVF treatment from Changjiang Hospital four years ago. It has the seal of Changjiang Hospital and the president's signature."
IVF?
What did that mean?
Not only the presiding judge and other judges, but even Xiao Luo, Bai Guoxiong, and the others were confused.
Ning Wanxiu continued, "Presiding judge, all judges, in fact, Su Bei is not Bai Yuquan's daughter. They are not related by blood. My client had already made this clear to him in Xiahai, but he did not believe her and took Su Bei away by force."
"B * stard, what nonsense are you talking about? How can Xiaobei not be a member of the Bai family?! "
Bai Guoxiong lost control of his emotions and stood up, angrily scolding Ning Wanxiu. The little girl that he had doted on for so many days was not his great-granddaughter. He could not accept this.
THUMP, THUMP, THUMP!
The presiding judge knocked a few times with his gavel, then coughed and said, "Mr. Bai, please be quiet. This is a courtroom!"
Bai Ying and the others also tried their best to persuade Bai Guoxiong to calm down.
Xiao Luo, on the other hand, frowned deeply. The mention of Changjiang Hospital reminded him of a very f * cked up incident when he was in university. It was when he was in his third year of university. Zhang Dashan held a promotional poster for Changjiang Hospital and asked him to complete an earth-shattering task — to complete the Human Genome Project.
He had heard of the Human Genome Project. It was launched in the nineties, and its goal was to unlock the codes of about twenty-five thousand genes in the human body. At the same time, it was to map out the human genome. This way, human genetic diseases could be controlled and completely solved. It could even allow people with broken limbs to grow new limbs. It was a great project that could regenerate every organ in the human body. It could even make Jurassic Park no longer a science fiction story.
And what they had to do was to donate their sperm!
Xiao Luo refused on the spot. He had to do something unspeakable during the sperm donation process. He was more traditional and would not allow himself to do that kind of behavior. Zhang Dashan was different. He said that there were many beautiful nurses in Changjiang Hospital, and he imagined that a beautiful nurse would help him.
In the end, he couldn't resist Zhang Dashan's coaxing and pestering. It wasn't that he couldn't resist Zhang Dashan's persuasion. To be precise, he couldn't resist the temptation of money. As long as he passed the physical examination and completed the sperm donation, he would receive a cash reward of two thousand yuan, and it would be kept a secret forever. At that time, his father was building a farm. It was a start-up investment stage, and the family's expenses were too high. The monthly food allowance given to him was only five hundred yuan. So, for him at that time, two thousand yuan was a lot of money.
Then, there was no "then." He and Zhang Dashan went to Changjiang Hospital together. Both of them passed the physical examination and became secret sperm donors.
This was an unbearable past. If it weren't for the mention of Changjiang Hospital and test-tube babies, Xiao Luo wouldn't have remembered it at all.
Why was it so coincidental?
Why did Su Bei call him father when she saw him?
Could it be that Su Li's sister didn't use Bai Yuquan's sperm when she received the test-tube babies, but the sperm supplied by Changjiang Hospital?
Xiao Luo's brain was a little confused now, because all this made him feel a little helpless. If Changjiang Hospital used the sperm he donated, wouldn't that mean that Su Bei was his biological daughter?
"No way …"
No matter how strong his psychological quality was, Xiao Luo couldn't keep calm at this time.
