Medalist Lawyer Heir

Episode 42 -

I told Zheng Hao, the parent-child identification test

is only to recognizing the mother and son relations, not for the lawsuit.

Not for the lawsuit?

Are you being innocent or are you pretending to be an idiot?

Xue Han Zhi has already handed this thing to the court. You're saying it's not for the lawsuit?

You have always told me,

that my child is gone, it was a stillborn. But he is here.

He is still alive. Zheng Hao is my son.

What? I can't acknowledge my own son?

Did I say you can't acknowledge your son? I said it before, I'll repeat it.

The problem is not the son, it's the agreement!

Fine, then as long as you promise you won't harm my son,

I can still follow your words for everything.

Then leave the country immediately. Go to England, France,

America, anywhere is fine. Choose somewhere.

Without a call from me, you're not allowed to come back.

Then what about the case of Zheng Hao suing me?

No way. I must still attend court.

I must confirm me and Zheng Hao's mother and son relationship in court.

Fine. You can attend court.

But you must listen to me.

Defendant Xia Yun, please take a seat on the Defendant's seat.

I have said, the Judge will tell her to sit on the Defendant's seat with me.

Your Honor.

May I ask the Defendant, the thirteenth piece of evidence from the Defendant,

have you seen the identification report affirming your mother and son relations with Zheng Hao?

I have seen it.

Then you are certain Zheng Hao is the biological son of you and Tang Ji Ye, right?

That's right.

Then, do you agree, according to the will written when Tang Ji Ye was alive,

that Zheng Hao should inherit all of Tang Ye Corporation's property and wealth?

This question is a bit complicated.

I need to think over it.

Complicated?

If Zheng Hao is your biological son, then obviously,

he should inherit all of Tang Ji Ye's inheritance.

Could it be that, you're doubtful of Tang Ji Ye's will?

Did our Attorney Zhong,

sitting next to you, makes you feel pressured?

Your Honor, I object the Plaintiff's Attorney asking suggestible questions.

In truth, I have no said a word.

Your Honor, it is true he did not say a word,

but any one of his gaze or hand gesture

could influence Miss Xia Yun.

What can be done about that?

Should I sit in the audience rows?

No need for that.

Your Honor, I advise to have Miss Xia Yun sit on the witness seat.

That way, her nervousness could at least be reduced.

I think that is possible.

Miss Xia Yun, did you go to get this parent-child identification report on the screen with Zheng Hao?

No. I gave my hair to Zheng Hao so that he could send it to be tested.

Then do you think this identification report is real?

Is Zheng Hao your biological son?

It's real, he is my son.

Do you agree to, according to your husband's will, let Zheng Hao inherit all of his property and wealth?

Your Honor, I'm sorry. Let us repeal this question for now.

Today, it was definitely not because Xia Yun was nervous.

She must have some kind of other reason.

Because of Zhong Ke Ming.

This has further proven my previous guesses.

Do you know why I stopped your question back then?

You're afraid that Xia Yun's reply might be disadvantageous to our party.

Not only just that, I suddenly realised we have a rift.

Also, we have disregarded a very important point.

What is it?

Look, since Xia Yun has already admitted that Zheng Hao is her son,

she didn't challenge the will either. According to common sense,

it could be said that this case...has already been won.

But, why is there no reconciliation and we must continue to fight?

Oh, I understand.

Xia Yun is actually not being self-contradictory.

Her position is clear. Although she has acknowledged Zheng Hao as her son,

she doesn't agree to let Zheng Hao inherit Tang Ye's property and wealth.

I have been too careless. I thought that once she acknowledged her son,

I thought she would definitely agree to let her son inherit the wealth and property.

This is what's difficult about being a lawyer, questioning needs to stop at a reasonable stage.

Asking too much may actually bring problems.

I'm glad you were able to stop me in time.

Otherwise, if her response was disadvantageous to us, I would have acted extra.

This Zhong Ke Ming is not easy to go against.

When the questioning resumes in the afternoon, he will definitely attack this point primarily.

The opposition will also become more difficult. I actually would like to see what ploys he will use

to prove that you can't inherit Tang Ye's wealth and property.

I think, they only have one ploy now.

Xia Yun, your response just now has made Attorney Xue really confused,

it has also made me very befuddled.

To let the court understand this case's truth better,

I would like to ask you a few questions again.

You only need to answer yes or no.

First question, you have been avoiding Zheng Hao recently,

it was because you didn't want to do the parent-child identification test with him. Yes or no?

Yes. But there is a reason for this.

You don't need to explain. You only need to reply yes.

At the end of last month, Zheng Hao found you. He asked you,

he told you that, he really hopes

to recognize this mother and son relationship again so you agreed with him

to do the parent-child identification test. But you proposed a condition,

it was that the parent-child identification report

can only be used to recognize the mother and son relationship,

it can't be used in the lawsuit. Is that right?

Yes.

After the parent-child identification report was released, Zheng Hao said to you again,

he hopes that you could attend court.

He said, because, to establish the mother and son relationship,

a confirmation letter must be received from the court. Is that right?

Yes.

Then can I generalize like this,

you were willing to do this parent-child identification test,

as well as willing to attend court as witness for Zheng Hao,

the only intention was to establish your mother and son relationship

and not to have Zheng Hao, according to the will,

to inherit Tang Ji Ye's wealth and property. Is that right?

Your Honor, my party opposes to this question.

Please state your reason.

Because we have already repealed this question previously.

Yes, Attorney Xue, you did repeal it.

But I am still interested to know.

I hope to hear Xia Yun's answer.

Yes. I have told Zheng Hao before.

Your Honor, my party still opposes to this question.

If Zheng Hao could be proven to be Xia Yun and Tang Ji Ye's child,

then no matter if Xia Yun is willing to or not,

it still would not affect Zheng Hao's rights to inherit the inheritance.

Attorney Xue is very correct. But don't forget, the word you said just now was "if"...

What does "if" mean?

That's right.

What does "if" mean?

"If" means that, you don't have sufficient evidence to prove,

that Zheng Hao is Tang Ji Ye's son.

Does Attorney Zhong believe that,

with just a parent-child identification report, it can't entirely prove that

Zheng Hao is Tang Ji Ye's inheritor?

That was what I meant.

Why can't it prove that?

You can't just give a conclusion and not a reason, right?

I have three reasons. One, it is that

this privately commissioned parent-child identification report has no legal effect.

It can definitely not be used in court to prove any truths.

Your Honor, Attorney Zhong is currently challenging this evidence's form.

We can entrust the court to have Zheng Hao and Xia Yun

do a legally commissioned identification test again.

These are words to save yourself, I have already said it.

These are latter words. The court can't use

evidence from tomorrow to prove today's truth.

Attorney Zhong, please continue. What are you remaining reasons?

Then please don't let Attorney Xue interrupt me.

Because the following two questions I'm about to ask,

Xia Yun will use the following two reasons

to reveal to the court clearly.

Is this the only solution?

This is the only solution.

How should I live in the future?

Isn't this too cruel?

This is the only way for you to recognize your son

and not break our contract at the same time.

But this kind of thing...how do you want me to say something like this?

You don't need to say it. I'll ask you.

Your answer only needs to be "yes" or "no".

Xia Yun, you told Attorney Xue just now,

you said you didn't personally go to the DNA testing centre,

you only gave a few hairs to Zheng Hao to do the test.

Is that right?

Yes.

Then that means, this identification report

does not only have problems with its process...

Your Honor, my party objects.

We object Attorney Zhong casually vilifying my litigant.

I am only letting the court know about a possibility.

You can deny that these hairs

didn't get contaminated in the process.

I think nothing in this could be fake.

I can guarantee that Zheng Hao is my son.

Sure. Since that is what you've said,

I'll put this question aside. I will ask you the second question.

You told Attorney Xue just now, you said Zheng Hao is

yours and Tang Ji Ye's son.

But actually, you can't confirm that, right?

Don't laugh, everyone. Why has

parent-child identification test become so popular recently?

It is because that a lot of children's fathers

are worth being suspicious of.

Silence! Quiet, everyone!

Attorney Zhong, can you change how you ask your questions?

Sure.

Xia Yun, let me ask you,

apart from giving a few hairs to Zheng Hao for testing,

did you give Tang Ji Ye's hair

or something like teeth to him?

No.

My husband has already died over ten years.

He has been cremated long ago. He didn't leave anything behind.

Then that means, you can confirm that Zheng Hao is your son,

but you can't confirm that he is Tang Ji Ye's son. Is that right?

Your Honor.

Even if Zheng Hao doesn't have any parent and child relations with Tang Ji Ye,
