The Secret of Second Marriage

No matter what her family said, Xia Weiwei seemed to be head over heels in love and was determined to be with Yang Nan.

She fell deeply in love, slept with the man, and got pregnant. She was almost four months pregnant and was vomiting so much that she was bringing up stomach acid.

She was busy preparing for the wedding in Yangnan's hometown and posted on her WeChat Moments every day.

My mom got angry when she saw Xia Weiwei post something on WeChat Moments. She had raised her daughter with great difficulty, but she didn't give her a single penny of dowry, yet she insisted on getting married.

My mom said, "Why is this child so stubborn? Sigh, let her get married if she wants to. A daughter is meant to be, but she might regret it later."

Xia Weiwei somehow found my phone number and sent me a lot of abusive messages in my private messages, but I blocked them all.

Xia Weiwei's wedding is scheduled for May.

She even sent her parents an electronic wedding invitation.

But my parents didn't even click to look at it.

My parents are determined not to give this poor man a single penny of the Xia family's wealth.

……

Time flew by and it was March.

This month has been exceptionally busy for me. Two things happened: first, President Jiang's second trial is about to begin; second, the wedding photos that Shen Xing and I took to create a CP (couple) rumor were broadcast on Hunan TV.

Many people criticize us for not being a good match, but many others say that the older sister is really cool and that she's really capable of finding a younger brother!

Attorney Guo and I have been in contact and discussing the case.

On the day of the formal trial, many migrant workers, contractors, and construction surveyors from the construction site attended the court as witnesses.

Strangely, these people seemed to have been instructed by someone, and they all pointed the finger at President Jiang. The gist of their story was that one day during construction, President Jiang gave each of them a red envelope and held a secret meeting, instructing them to use substandard building materials to construct the bridge.

Who knew that less than six months after the bridge was put into use, a news incident occurred where the bridge collapsed due to substandard quality.

Several people died in this accident; they all died in car crashes.

So they conspired to kill President Jiang, insisting that he was the mastermind and should take the blame.

But my lawyer discovered many clues.

She knew these witnesses; she had gone over their prepared statements countless times before attending the hearing today and knew how to answer the judge's questions.

So he asked an unusual question.

But these people never expected that Lawyer Guo would ask the contractor, Mr. Wang, "Mr. Wang, Mr. Jiang's grandmother had heart problems last month and was hospitalized."

You said you and President Jiang are the best of brothers, and that you two trust each other the most. Now that President Jiang's grandmother is in the hospital, shouldn't you go and visit her?

My question is, how many times did you visit the elderly person?

The other party was taken aback by the tricky question my lawyer had asked, and after a moment of hesitation, replied, "Mr. Jiang is my best brother, and his grandmother is also my grandmother. Last month, Grandma Jiang was hospitalized, and I visited her every day with milk to show my filial piety. Attorney Guo, is there a problem?"

"Don't lie. I've retrieved the hospital visitation records for the past month, and they show that you didn't visit Grandma Jiang at all."

Your brother's grandmother is sick, and as his best friend, are you just going to ignore her completely? Are you so cold-blooded that you can't even offer a single word of concern?

Attorney Guo dissected the first true face of the other party.

She was really amazing. Her second step was to dismantle the witnesses' testimonies. She felt that there was a strange thing about the witnesses' testimonies: everyone's records were consistent. They all recorded that at a certain meeting, President Jiang told them about the decision to use that batch of substandard building materials.

She then had all the witnesses write down on paper exactly when President Jiang said those words to them.

This writing is riddled with flaws.

Some people remember the meeting room in the morning, some remember it in the evening, and some even remember it at noon. How is that possible?

Everyone's answer had a problem.

Attorney Guo found a loophole and told the judge: "If President Jiang really said that, then all the witnesses' memories should be of the same meeting, the same time, when President Jiang confirmed the use of that batch of substandard building materials."

But everyone remembered the time wrong, so I think it's more like a coordinated effort to fabricate a story.

After listening to Attorney Guo's defense, I felt that the chances of winning this case were extremely high.

Attorney Guo also released a third piece of bombshell evidence: "That is, the contractor who never buys insurance, the owner of the building materials supplier, and several partners all actually bought huge compensation insurance policies a month before the accident..."

It's as if they knew the bridge was going to break on purpose; I think it was deliberate, not an accident.
