I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

Chapter 508

508 Negotiation Translator: Lordbluefire Dr. Zhang’s resting room was located backstage at the courthouse. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

It was because before any negotiation took place, the people from the Xu and Shen families were not allowed to meet each other.

Upon hearing the commotion, Dr. Zhang instinctively looked outside but only saw the backs of the Shen family’s people as they passed by the entrance.

Dr. Zhang’s gaze fell on Shen Tingyan, and a sense of guilt surged up within him.

He had examined her before and found nothing wrong with her health, but pregnancy itself was truly something that depended on fate.

Just as Dr. Zhang was about to avert his gaze, he saw a familiar figure.

His pupils contracted slightly, and he wanted to continue looking, but the group in front had turned the corner.

Nonetheless, this figure still made him feel shaken deep down.

Was that figure just now… his mentor? The famous Divine Doctor Jing?

This thought made him feel even more uneasy.

After Matriarch Xu feigned crying outside and ensured that public opinion was on their side, she finally brought Xu Hao to the negotiation room.

Shen Yuansong was absent. His car was parked outside, and he was waiting for the results of this negotiation inside the vehicle, just like Father Xu, who also did not appear in such negotiations.

Both of them had a special status. As it concerned their family members, if they appeared in the negotiation room, it would mean a complete rupture between the Shen and Xu families.

Shen Ruojing sat in the first row of the Shen family’s seats, her posture languid and her peach blossom eyes fixed on Xu Hao.

Xu Hao was uncomfortable under her gaze.

He tried his best to reduce his presence, but her eyes were too scorching as if she could see through him, making him feel like he wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.

He angrily exclaimed, “What are you looking at?”

Shen Ruojing probably intended to provoke him. “What’s wrong? You don’t like being looked at? Or is there something you don’t want people to see?”

If Xu Hao lost his temper, it would definitely leave a bad impression on the judge.

As expected, Xu Hao exploded with anger.

As a person whose heartstrings had been touched, he stood up and was about to lose his temper.

The judge immediately pounded the table. “Alright, we’re here today to mediate and negotiate. Please calm down and exercise restraint on both sides.”

Matriarch Xu immediately took Xu Hao’s hand and sighed, looking at the judge. “Your Honor, I’m sorry, but my son was provoked because they slandered him by saying that he had a physical problem. Please understand a man’s dignity.”

The judge frowned. “I understand, but if he loses control of his emotions again, we will have to ask him to leave.”

Matriarch Xu immediately nodded. “Understood.”

The judge then said, “Alright, now both sides can speak. Plaintiff, you can start first.”

Upon hearing this, Matriarch Xu immediately looked at Shen Tingyan and, in front of the judge, she put on a hypocritical facade. “Tingyan, no matter what, we’ve been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for three years. Things have gotten to this point, and nobody looks good in a case like this. So, I’ve convinced Little Yang and she won’t sue you. Today, we will only discuss divorce, not anything else.”

Although Little Yang was a mistress and was morally reprehensible, her action was not illegal. But Third Madam Shen’s action of pushing her and causing a miscarriage could be considered an intentional battery.

And now that they weren’t pursuing this matter, Little Yang wouldn’t have to testify in court.

Like this, Matriarch Xu was being merciful to the Shen family on the surface, but in reality, she didn’t want Little Yang to appear in court.

What if someone saw through the loophole?!

The Xu family had indeed come prepared.

This sentence made the judge feel favorable toward the Xu family. At least for now, the Xu family wasn’t being aggressive.

Third Madam Shen also breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Regardless of whose child was in Little Yang’s belly, if the miscarriage were really pinned on Third Madam Shen, she wouldn’t be able to explain it even if she had ten thousand mouths.

However, Shen Tingyan tightened her jaw.

Matriarch Xu continued, “Our Xu family isn’t unreasonable. But since you can’t have children and our family needs an heir, let’s negotiate here. We don’t want the 60 million compensation, but she can only take half of her dowry with her. The other half is to make amends and compensate Little Yang. Let’s all go our separate ways, how about it?”

The judge nodded and then looked toward the Shen family. “What do you think?”

Shen Ruojing didn’t speak.

As an elder, Third Madam Shen spoke on behalf of Shen Tingyan, “Divorce is okay, but we need to clarify the reason for the divorce. My daughter has no health problems and can get pregnant. The doctor has checked her. What you said earlier is not true! We can negotiate the divorce, and we won’t pursue the matter of your son’s affair. As long as no one is at fault, the dowry can be up to you. Consider it as my daughter’s living expenses in the Xu family for three years!’

The Shen family wasn’t short on money. Even in this situation, they didn’t lack anything for their children’s living expenses.

However, Matriarch Xu certainly couldn’t agree.

The Queen’s goal was to damage the reputation of the Shen family.

Hence, Matriarch Xu sneered. “You don’t want to pursue the matter of the affair? What’s there to pursue? My son had no choice but to find someone to help him have a child since your daughter couldn’t. Is that unacceptable?”

Third Madam Shen was furious. “My daughter can have children. Her health is fine!”

Matriarch Xu sneered. “Whether she has any health problems or not, it’s up to the doctor to decide! Is it useful for you to say all of this here?’

Upon hearing this, Shen Ruojing spoke up, “Miss Shen Tingyan has no health problems. I am a doctor, and I can attest to that.”

Matriarch Xu immediately looked at Shen Ruojing and sneered. “You’re a doctor? Miss Shen, what are you kidding about here? Your fake diagnosis almost caused harm to my son. Can I sue you for damaging our reputation?”

The judge frowned. “That can be a separate lawsuit. Right now, we’re discussing the divorce case. Plaintiff, do you have any evidence to support your claim that the defendant can’t have children?”

“Of course, I do!” Matriarch Xu stood up.

“To prove that my son has no problem, we have a specialist come from the capital.

“Unlike this unlicensed quack, our expert is Dr. Zhang, a famous gynecologist in the capital. I’m sure we all recognize his medical credentials, right?” The judge nodded. ‘Then please bring in the witness.”

Matriarch Xu waved her hand, and someone went to fetch Dr. Zhang.

Then, Matriarch Xu sneered and looked at Shen Ruojing. “Miss Shen, I advise you not to treat people anymore. It’s outrageous for someone as young as you to say that a man can’t have children. Today, I’ll show you what a real ‘I’CM doctor is like!”

With that, the door was pushed open, and Dr. Zhang walked in.

As soon as Dr. Zhang entered the room, he saw Shen Ruojing….
