Chapter 2: Backstabbing With Ulterior Motives

An hour later.

I was like a suspect caught in a trap, and my mother dragged me out of the court with my head down. Although I was 1.75 meters tall, a little taller than my mother who was 1.72 meters tall, my mother’s flesh-colored silk feet were wearing 6cm high heels, so she still suppressed me in height.

My mother was wearing a black slim-fitting suit on her upper body and a black hip skirt on her lower body. Her black hair was tied up behind her head. Now my mother’s aura was fully open and her face was full of anger.

I had just “backstabbed” my mother in the court. I was already guilty, and I was suppressed by my mother’s fierce momentum at this time.

My father, who was following behind, looked helpless. He wanted to step forward several times, but he showed an expression of wanting to say something but stopping.

Seeing my mother dragging me out of the court gate and walking towards the parking space, my father couldn’t help it after all. He hurried forward and grabbed my other arm, stretched out his hand to push his eyes on the bridge of his nose, and coughed twice.

“The court has awarded the child to me. Can you...”

“Xu Wenbin, shut up!”

Before my father finished speaking, my mother’s phoenix eyes were cold and she interrupted my father directly, saying in a cold tone, “That woman is worthy of Yifan calling her mother? I will never give the child to you!”

“But the court has already made the ruling!”

My father sighed, not panicking at all. This kind of case will at most go to the Intermediate People’s Court, and it is impossible to go to the High People’s Court. People will not accept such family disputes at all. Otherwise, there are so many divorce disputes over property and custody in the country. Wouldn’t the High Court become a vegetable market?

This kind of lawsuit is basically resolved at the grassroots people’s court, and it is rare to appeal to the Intermediate People’s Court.

“Xu Wenbin, have you forgotten that we haven’t gone through the divorce procedures yet!”

“Legally, I am still the legal guardian of the child!”

My mother’s eyes were as cold as snow, and her tone was cold and calm.

My father was stunned when he heard this, “But you have kicked me out of the house. Even if you don’t want a divorce, I don’t have the face to face you. This marriage must be divorced. As long as the cooling-off period exceeds one month, even if you don’t agree, this marriage can be divorced.”

The end of this marriage that is in appearance but not in spirit is a relief for both parents.

It’s just cruel to the child. When I thought of this, my father couldn’t help but hold my arm a little harder, and he made up his mind to make up for his debt to the child in the future.

My mother smiled coldly and stared at my father proudly, “The marriage must be divorced! The child must belong to me!”

“You can appeal, so can I!”

“If Yifan hadn’t suddenly changed his mind, do you think you can win?”

At this point, my mother’s hand holding my arm suddenly tightened, as if she was dissatisfied with my “backstab” in court just now.

At this time, my father also looked at me with a puzzled look, thinking that this child clearly said that he was willing to live with his mother in the first trial, why did he suddenly change his mind in the second trial? Did this child finally choose himself?

Thinking of this, my father pulled me in another direction, “Yifan, let’s go home with Dad.”

I looked at my father, and then at my mother with a pretty face. After struggling for a long time, I finally gritted my teeth, showed an apologetic expression to my mother, and was about to follow my father.

My mother’s cold and calm face turned pale in an instant, and she said in a trembling voice: “Yifan, do you really not want your mother?”

My mother held my arm tightly and was unwilling to let go, as if she would really lose me if she let go.

Seeing that things were developing as I expected, my mother would not give up on me. I couldn’t help feeling guilty, but soon this guilt was drowned by the crazy thoughts in my heart, so I deliberately showed an expression of reluctance, turned my head and looked at my father with embarrassment, “Dad, why don’t I stay with Mom for a while!”
