Chen Rong walked down the bustling street, replaying scenes from the courtroom in his mind. Lawyer Wang's sharp questioning, Zhang Chen's flickering gaze, and Lu's parents' heartbroken expressions flashed before him like a movie.
"Three years ago..." Chen Rong murmured to himself. He suddenly remembered that when he bought this apartment three years ago, Zhang Chen's ex-wife, Chen Jie, had mentioned that the apartment was a birthday gift from her husband. She was eager to sell it because they were immigrating overseas.
"Immigrating? In such a hurry to sell?" The more Chen Rong thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. If they were really moving abroad, why would they rush to move out overnight? Moreover, she seemed very anxious at the time, as if afraid he would change his mind...
Chen Rong stopped in his tracks, feeling an inexplicable sense of unease, as if an invisible net was slowly enveloping him.
A taxi drove past him, snapping Chen Rong back to reality. He quickly waved to hail the cab and said, "Driver, take me to..." He hesitated for a moment but ultimately gave Lu's parents' address.
In the evening, Chen Rong arrived at the the Lu Family's door with a basket of fruit and knocked.
"Who is it?" Mother Lu's voice came from inside.
"Auntie, it's me, Chen Rong."
The door opened, and Mother Lu looked surprised to see Chen Rong standing there. "Oh, Xiao Chen! What brings you here? Come in and sit."
Chen Rong entered the house and saw Lu Father sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. He hurried over to greet him. "Hello, Uncle."
Lu Father put down the newspaper and looked at Chen Rong with a calm expression. "Xiao Chen, is there something you need to discuss with us?"
Taking a deep breath and gathering his courage, Chen Rong replied, "Uncle, Auntie, I'm here today to tell you that I might... I might have been deceived by Zhang Chen and his ex-wife..."
Father Lu and Mother Lu exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of surprise in their eyes.
"What... what did you say?" Mother Lu asked, her tone laced with disbelief.
Chen Rong recounted the process of buying her house and the doubts that had arisen in her mind to Father Lu and Mother Lu.
"So you're saying you suspect Zhang Chen and his ex-wife had already planned to seize Jiajia's property?" Father Lu asked in a low voice, a chill evident in his tone.
Chen Rong nodded and said, "I only just realized that their behavior at the time was indeed quite suspicious..."
Father Lu fell silent, his brow furrowed, anger flickering in his eyes.
"That scoundrel!" Mother Lu said through gritted teeth. "How could he do this to Jiajia? Jiajia has been so good to him..."
As Mother Lu spoke, her eyes reddened again, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
Father Lu gently patted Mother Lu's shoulder and comforted her, "Alright, don't cry anymore. What's the use of talking about this now? We need to pull ourselves together; we can't let Jiajia suffer in vain!"
Father Lu turned to Chen Rong and asked, "Xiao Chen, do you have any other evidence for what you've said?"
Chen Rong shook her head. "I just found it a bit strange; I don't have any substantial evidence..."
"It's alright, we'll find a way!" Father Lu said firmly. "Jiajia cannot suffer in vain; we must fight back!"
Lu Father stood up and walked to the window, looking out at the gradually darkening night, his eyes filled with anger and sadness.
"Lao Lu, what do you think we should do now?" Mother Lu asked softly as she approached Lu Father.
After a moment of contemplation, Lu Father replied, "Tomorrow morning, we will go find Lawyer Wang and tell him about this matter. He will help us figure out a solution!"
Mother Lu nodded, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes.
"Lawyer Wang will definitely have a way!" Mother Lu murmured to herself, as if encouraging herself or perhaps praying.
