"Gu Zhentang, let's keep things separate. Right now, I am here to seek justice for my sister and nephew; don't try to distract me with other talk," Wang Jiacai interrupted Gu Zhentang immediately.
"Fine. Let's talk about the shameful things your sister did, then." Father Gu recounted, in precise detail, how Wang Jufen had gone behind his back to sell Aran to a human trafficker. As he spoke, Chu Hengyuan, who was sitting with his back to the group, gripped his teacup tighter and tighter with every word.
When Father Gu finished, Wang Jiacai and his two companions were left speechless. How could his sister have done such a thing? If discovered, it would mean prison time and could implicate the entire family. However, he could not admit his sister had done it. She was already dead, and there was no evidence to prove it. "Gu Zhentang, did you see with your own eyes my sister selling your adopted daughter? Or are you just taking the girl's word for it? It’s clear to me that you’re just making excuses because you’re biased. If you don’t pay compensation today, I’m dragging you to the magistrate."
