My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Chapter 65 - 65: 65 Second Trial (1) So This Is Love! (Second Update)

It was now the second hearing.

Song Zhidao took a leave to come back again.

He drove his sister to the courthouse early in the morning.

In the car, Song Zhizhi and Wen Tian talked about the proceedings of the court.

Wen Tian had arrived at Song Zhizhi’s place early in the morning to wait for her.

“Zhang Meng has a high reputation in the legal world,” Song Zhizhi abruptly changed the topic.

They were clearly discussing the possibility of leniency, but Wen Tian didn’t understand why Song Zhizhi didn’t seem enthusiastic.

“Hmm.” Wen Tian nodded.

“You must have received some threats during this time.” Even if Zhang Meng didn’t care, there were many lawyers who would try to scare him to curry favor with Zhang Meng.

“No worries. No matter what, lawyers are responsible for representing their clients.”

It seemed that Wen Tian was indeed a principled lawyer, no wonder he was so successful in his previous life.

“You will replace Zhang Meng in the future,” said Song Zhizhi. Wen Tian laughed, saying, “Let’s hope your words are fortuitous.”

Clearly, he didn’t take it seriously.

The atmosphere in the car was okay, it didn’t get tense despite the slightly nerve-racking situation they were about to face in court.

The car arrived at their destination.

There was still a crowd of reporters.

Song Zhizhi didn’t understand why, with so many international stars in Jin City, these journalists couldn’t divert their attention a bit more, instead of constantly stalking her.

She was about to open the car door.

Then the car door was suddenly opened by someone else.

Song Zhizhi looked up and saw Ji Baijian standing tall and handsome at her car door, impeccably dressed in a suit.

Maybe it was the angle she was looking up from, but Ji Baijian seemed so tall, so good-looking, and so reassuring to her!

She got out of the car with the gentlemanly assistance of Ji Baijian.

Looking at him, Song Zhizhi said, “You always surprise me.”

“No, I just want to see my own hard work,” Ji Baijian’s magnetic voice was still so captivating.

And he always refused to acknowledge his good deeds towards her.

This guy, was he really such an introverted flirt?

Yes.

A very flamboyant one at that.

The two walked towards the courtroom together.

The reporters surged towards them.

Song Zhizhi could clearly feel Ji Baijian shielding her, protecting her as they moved forward.

“Mr. Ji, why are you appearing with Miss Song today? Are you going to personally witness Miss Song’s second trial?”

“Mr. Ji, will you still be with Miss Song after her sentencing? Are you planning to wait for her release?”

“Mr. Ji, could you share your thoughts on Miss Song’s case?”

“Miss Song, Mr. Ji is attending court with you, is there anything you’d like to say?”

“Miss Song, regarding your second trial, do you think you’ll receive a reduced sentence?”

There was a ceaseless chatter and noise.

Both Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi didn’t respond; they just walked straight into the courtroom.

Song Zhizhi had to go to the defendant’s waiting room.

Ji Baijian escorted Song Zhizhi to the entrance and then turned around to leave.

“Ji Baijian.” Song Zhizhi called out to him.

Ji Baijian turned around and looked at her.

“Can I kiss you?” asked Song Zhizhi.

Ji Baijian’s lips stretched into a charming smile. His large hand caressed her soft long hair, and he bent down to plant a light kiss on her forehead. “Be good.”

The sensation from that moment, inch by inch, seeped into her nerves.

By the time she came back to her senses, Ji Baijian had already left.

Song Zhizhi watched his retreating figure.

She thought, so this is what love feels like.

She once thought she loved Yi Wenhan, but now she realized that was just being touched, touched by Yi Wenhan’s gentle and delicate care for her.

But what Ji Baijian gave her was not just being touched – it was something that made her heart flutter.

A feeling too wonderful for her to describe..
