After giving his testimony, Du Zian left the witness stand, and the female lawyer said, "We have another witness."
This time, it was Mrs. Ji who took the witness stand.
When Xiao Xiao saw her appear, she was completely stunned. Then, remembering what the old general said last night, she understood what was going on.
The female lawyer said: "Witness, please tell me what kind of family the Xiao family is."
"Okay." Mrs. Ji smiled gracefully and said, "Xiao Xiao and my son Ji Chensi did have a child, and they were indeed in love. They were originally a loving couple, but they had to separate because of the Xiao family."
Female lawyer: “Why do you say that?”
Mrs. Ji glanced at Xiao Ru in the distance, and said in a gurgling voice: "Just two months ago, our parents met, and the Xiao family asked for a gift money from our Ji family. It stands to reason that it is normal to ask for a gift money for a marriage, but the request made by the Xiao family is particularly unreasonable. They said that they want our Ji family to give them 10 million as a betrothal gift, and also a mountain view house and a Lamborghini. At that time, I thought this request was very strange, so I asked them, what is the dowry? I asked this question because in the new era, marriage is no longer about marriage. Giving gifts or dowries is what parents pay for their children, and then giving them to children as a stepping stone to a happy life after marriage, but Xiao's parents told me that there was no dowry. They said it was not easy for them to raise their daughter into her twenties, and she gave birth to a great grandson for our Ji family. I personally think that their request is very excessive, because everyone knows that Mr. Xiao's company went bankrupt when he was in his forties, and he and Mrs. Xiao had been living in a rented house for more than ten years. However, their eldest daughter had nothing to do, so they wanted to use the betrothal gift of their youngest daughter to buy a house for their eldest daughter. I think that nowadays, which family does not devote themselves wholeheartedly to their children, but Xiao's parents are thinking about selling their youngest daughter for a good price..."
When Mrs. Ji said this, Xiao Ma couldn't help it and stood up and said, "Whose family do you think is selling their daughter?"
Mrs. Ji looked down at her and smiled, "Are you selling your daughter? I believe everyone can see it."
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Ji looked at the judge. "The reason I said these words is to prove that Xiao's parents are not as kind and honest as we imagined. In the early days, the father went bankrupt and asked his daughter to sleep with him. Later, when the younger daughter found happiness, they asked the man's family for a sky-high gift. How can such parents treat you sincerely? And if you have such parents, can you still laugh and joke with them, meet any unreasonable requests of them, and be extremely filial without a single complaint?"
After saying this, the defendant's lawyer, who had been calm and composed, had a completely changed expression and stood up. "Protest! Protest the witness's constant personal attacks."
The female lawyer said: "What our witness said is absolutely well-founded. It was because Xiao's parents were unkind to their daughter first that she became cold towards them."
The judge said: "The protest is invalid."
The male lawyer glared at the female lawyer, but the latter remained calm.

The discussion outside the court became even more heated.
"It's more exciting than watching a TV series. You won't know who is right or wrong until the end!"
"I bet! It must be that the parents are shameless, otherwise why would everyone come out to criticize them? This is Mrs. Ji, a well-known celebrity wife in the upper class. That family is too shameless. They actually asked for a huge sum of money. Don't they know what their family background is?"
"But Mrs. Ji's words are too ruthless. She speaks so sharply."
"Why should we be so polite to weirdos? If those vampires were my parents, I would have disowned them long ago."
"So, Xiao Xiao has done her best by giving them a house and living expenses."

At the same time, a video interview with Xiao’s neighbors was played in court.
A short middle-aged woman looked at the camera and said, "The Xiao family's parents? They are definitely a weird couple. The eldest daughter is idle at home every day, and the younger daughter, who is a big star, takes care of her. The younger daughter even pays for the tuition of their eldest daughter's training class. It costs tens of thousands per semester."
Female lawyer: “Who paid for it?”
Neighbor: "Of course it was the big star who paid for it. The older one is like a little girl all day long. She can't do anything but brag and get angry. As for the younger one, although she's not loved by her parents, she's still very well off. They bought a house for them to live in and hired a nanny. I heard that even the food money was paid for by the younger daughter. They also gave them extra living expenses to play mahjong. They give them more than 100,000 yuan a month. They're really rich..."
Female lawyer: "So are they good to that little girl?"
The neighbor shook his head and said nothing.
Female lawyer: "You don't know, or you don't dare to say?"
Neighbor: "It's not that I don't dare to speak out, but I think that couple are black-hearted. Their youngest daughter is so good to them, but as soon as she comes back, the two old people always ask her for money, and they won't accept less. One time, I heard Mrs. Xiao say that her eldest daughter wanted a Lamborghini, so she asked for it on behalf of her eldest daughter and the youngest daughter, but they refused. That night, there was a loud quarrel in the Xiao family, and a lot of furniture was smashed. I think that couple is treating their youngest daughter as a cash cow."
