PEERLESS GENIUS SYSTEM III

Chapter 420: Separate Ways

"A test-tube baby?"

The presiding judge carefully read the return receipt from Changjiang Hospital, and then he lifted his head to look at Su Li and Ning Wanxiu. "Can you tell me why Su Jing chose to impregnate herself through in vitro fertilization?"

"Let me explain this, your honor."

Bai Yuquan, who had kept silent this entire time, finally spoke, albeit a little ill at ease. He looked at Su Li, and then said icily, "When your sister chose to impregnate herself through in vitro fertilization at that time, she had done so just to tie me down. Am I right?"

Su Li was silent, her countenance aloof and cold as ice.

Bai Yuquan laughed in self-deprecation and said, "I've slept with your sister a few times, but she's never once gotten pregnant, and she was worried that she would lose me. Then, under your mother's instigation, she went to that damned hospital and accepted in vitro fertilization treatments to impregnate herself. At the end of it all, she returned and told me it was mine." The more he spoke, the colder his expression grew. "How cunning of her... How truly, brilliantly, cunning. To think I genuinely believed that I had wronged her. Now that I think about it, it's a good thing she's dead. That vile woman should have been burned at a stake!"

Boom!

He slammed a palm down forcefully onto the tabletop, his eyes alighted with rage and the vein in his temple throbbing.

Bai Yuquan could not accept this truth. To him, he had not just been lied to—he had been humiliated, and this humiliation was worse than being ordered to crawl between someone's legs.

"Vile woman! She's truly a vile woman. I've never once met someone as vile as her!"

Bai Guoxiong was thoroughly enraged. It was no longer speculation that Su Xiaobei was not his great-granddaughter—it was a fact. There was no way the hospital's receipt would be erroneous. If the director of the hospital's signature was on it, then there was no way it could be false. It was so laughable and so pathetic that he could mistake some child for his own great-granddaughter. The entire Bai family had been played like a fiddle by a woman.

How outrageous! How utterly outrageous!

Bai Guoxiong was so angry that his body started convulsing. Rage and gloom were written all over his wizened visage.

"Shameless and despicable. There isn't a single good person in the Su family. This Su Li, I bet she's just as vile!" Bai Xuenan gritted her teeth, defending her brother's honor.

Xiao Luo turned over and glared at her. "You shut your damn mouth. Curse who you want, but don't talk about my woman like this!"

This one glare was enough to shut Bai Xuenan up, and she forced the rest of her words down her throat.

Shen Qingyan was so shocked that her mouth was slightly hanging open. She had tried time and time again to ask Su Li what the trump card to winning this case was, but to no avail. There was no way she would have figured out that Su Xiaobei was actually not Bai Yuquan's daughter.

Su Li, who was seated in the plaintiff's side, stood up for the first time. Her red lips parted slightly as she said to Bai Yuquan, "I have no interest in what happened between you and my sister Su Jing. All I want is Su Xiaobei." She turned and faced the presiding judge. "Your honor, Su Xiaobei has no blood relations to the Bai family at all. If Changjiang Hospital's receipt is not proof enough, then the court can order for Su Xiaobei and Bai Yuquan to do a paternity test to see if they're actually related."

Her chilly voice reverberated in the large, expansive courtroom. She knew that she was not doing right by her sister Su Jing like this, and she had wanted to guard this secret forever. However, she had not expected Bai Yuquan to suddenly appear from nowhere and snatch Su Xiaobei from her. She had no choice but to resort to this.
