Chapter 520: Chapter 520 Witness Chapter 520: Chapter 520 Witness “Since we’ve come this far today, with so many witnesses present, why don’t you bring out your evidence and call your witnesses?” An Cheng had no choice but to straightforwardly let everyone see the truth of the matter.
Let’s see whether it’s a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk.
He also wanted to see what exactly Bai Xiao’s relationship with the Shang Family was.
Bai Xiao, on the side, had her mind racing, wondering how Shang Feng could possibly have any witnesses to call. It was quite surprising.
She just wanted to see who this witness could be.
Wang Chunhua?
If she hadn’t guessed wrong, this person was most likely to know the truth. Of course, there were also Li Chunhua and Bai Jianguo, this mother and son pair, her uncle and grandmother. It would be impossible for them not to know her origins.
If the Shang Family had really offered a high price, selling her out would be a matter of minutes.
“Bai Xiao, I’m truly doing this for your own good. I am your biological father, and there is absolutely no mistake about that. No matter what your identity is, no matter what kind of person you are, dad really wants to make up for the paternal love you’ve missed out on all these years. I didn’t want to do this, but you completely refuse to believe this fact.”
Shang Feng had the appearance of someone deeply grieved and full of remorse.
“Kaiwen, go bring the witness up,”
The entire canteen was now so quiet that the drop of a pin could be heard. Everyone was as eager for drama, watching this thrilling, heart-wrenching performance of father-daughter intimacy and strife.
The father was desperate to acknowledge the girl, while the daughter wanted nothing to do with the father.
Who could care about drinking wine or eating food at this moment?
What kind of food or drink could be more fascinating than this drama unfolding before them?
It contained juicy scandals, the sentimental recognition between father and daughter, and the thrilling confrontations.
Exciting, how exciting!
Shang Kaiwen glanced at Bai Xiao, exited the door, and soon returned with someone.
Bai Xiao narrowed her eyes, it was no surprise, an old acquaintance indeed.
Wasn’t this Bai Jianguo?
Driven to desperation by her, Bai Jianguo’s home should be struggling immensely by now. At this moment, the Shang Family made their move, which was like a pie falling from the sky, and bright, shiny pork right before his eyes.
If Bai Jianguo didn’t grab and bite into it fiercely, that would be truly bizarre.
Even if her identity was originally picked up, even if she was actually his real niece, she feared that he would have handed her over to the Shang Family right now.
Bai Jianguo was an old hand at grasping an opportunity for money.
Bai Jianguo, as you put it, stepped forward amid the crowd, because there were so many people here, and nearly all of them were formally clad, many wearing the four-pocket attire of officials – of course, they must be either rich or noble.
How could someone like him, a country bumpkin, be used to seeing such figures?
That moment, when he came up, his heart was pounding, his calves even starting to cramp a bit.
But as soon as he thought of that 10,000 yuan, he couldn’t help but bite his tongue—the pain! It was real pain.
Good, that pain confirmed that this was all real.
Right now, Bai Jianguo’s household was so poor they were practically penniless; together, he and his wife barely had a hundred yuan. With Bai Shan’s wedding on the horizon, they needed money for the bride price, the betrothal gifts—in every aspect.
He was so desperate, he was breaking out in cold sores.
And then, out of the blue, a huge opportunity fell into his lap.
Shang Feng, accompanied by some men, was inquiring around the village, and it turned out they were inquiring about Bai Xiao’s past.
Bai Jianguo assessed the man and estimated that he had some significant background, judging by his clothes, his deportment, obviously a person of importance from the city.
Immediately, he took an interest and struck up a conversation,
Eventually letting slip that Bai Xiao was his niece and he knew everything about their family matters the best.
Sure enough, this man in front of him finally produced 10,000 yuan, asking him to publicly disclose the matter.
How could he not accept such an opportunity for free money?
