He looked at Yan Ning, his features were tense and his lips were pursed, "I asked you, and you said it was okay."
Everyone looked at Yan Ning.
Lawyer Qi originally didn't want Yan Ning to answer this question.
Yan Ning faced Ning Muchen, looking at those eyes that were filled with a little bit of prayer and a little bit of fear.
Yan Ning thought it was a bit ridiculous.
"...I agreed, so what if I don't agree? I don't agree, I just want you to find more reasons and excuses to convince me. Ning Muchen, I didn't agree with you before to go find Qu Anqing in the middle of the night.
Did you do it?"
"I won't let you accompany Qu Anqing on my birthday. Have you agreed?"
"I don't want you to leave at the wedding, would you?"
"Does it matter whether I agree or not? In your mind, if I don't agree, I am ignorant, and I am wasting your precious time to explain to me and convince me."
"Why should I ask for trouble? Besides..." she sneered, "I really don't care. Don't tell me that you claim to be her father, you are really her father, so what?"
"I'm not." Ning Muchen suddenly shouted loudly.
This sound made the noisy mediation room quiet down.
Ning Muchen's lips trembled slightly, he clenched his fist and pressed it against the table, "...Yan Ning, I have never had a relationship with Qu Anqing."
He exhaled slowly. He had never understood before why Yan Ning was so determined to leave him.
Now he understands.
His self-righteousness and self-deception had hurt Yan Ning long ago.
Perhaps, he was not unclear in his heart.
I just subconsciously felt that Yan Ning loved him so much and would forgive him.
But now...
She chose not to forgive.
When she chose to give up.
Only then did he start to be afraid and regretful.
He never dared to really ask Yan Ning and think about what he had done in the past, not because he really didn't know that he had done something wrong.
But don't dare to think about it.
He knew full well how wrong he was.
"Yan Ning, I didn't sleep with Qu Anqing! Qu Tiantian is not my child. If you don't want to, I can no longer care about them."
"I will make up for the mistakes I made before, and I will treat you and the child well."
"I really know I was wrong."
Ning Muchen has always followed the elite route. In front of outsiders, he has always been indifferent and distant, as if everything is under control.
But now, he was praying in a low voice, which made the mediators present a little moved.
But Yan Ning was indifferent. She looked at Ning Muchen with red eyes indifferently, feeling ridiculous.
He knew he was wrong.
Or maybe he actually knew he was wrong a long time ago.
It was only her persistence in giving in that allowed him to push further.
"Ning Muchen, I will never believe you again."
Lawyer Dong quickly took the opportunity to express Ning Muchen's sincerity to Yan Ning and his care for the children.
In addition, Ning Muchen's net worth was used to show that if his children followed him, he would be able to give them a good life and a good education environment.
He also said that after Ning Muchen had a child, he has been taking care of their mother and son carefully and considerately, which further proves that Ning Muchen is a responsible man.
"Excuse me!"
Lawyer Qi stood up and said, "We doubt your claim that Mr. Ning has been taking care of Miss Yan carefully and considerately during her pregnancy."
"When my client gave birth, Mr. Ning was not around. He went to accompany his friend's daughter, Qu Tiantian."
Ning Muchen stabilized his emotions, "...I didn't know she would give birth at the time. When I received a call saying that the child was sick and wanted to see me, I went."
Lawyer Qi asked, "Does Mr. Ning know on which days my client will give birth?"
Ning Muchen nodded, "I know."
"Then may I ask, was the child seriously ill that day? Was her mother unable to take care of the child on her own? If not, then may I ask, how did her mother take care of the child when it grew so big?"
Ning Muchen realized that this question was wrong, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Lawyer Qi asked, "Then can we speculate that if Mr. Ning raised his son personally, would he abandon his child to take care of him because of Qu Tiantian?"
"In addition, my client suspects that Mr. Ning only wants to marry her in preparation for adopting Qu Tiantian."
Ning Muchen: "I didn't."
"Then, Mr. Ning, have you consulted about the procedures for adopting Qu Tiantian? Do you know that one of them requires the other party to be married?"
Ning Muchen: "...I have consulted, but these two things have nothing to do with each other."
Lawyer Qi looked at the mediator and said, "My client had previously considered raising the child to Mr. Ning, as the other party's lawyer said. Mr. Ning has a successful career and excellent financial conditions, and he also promised that he would take good care of the child."
"However, during my client's pregnancy, Mr. Ning missed important prenatal checkups many times, all because he was with Qu Tiantian. He was not around when my client was giving birth."
"My client suspects that Mr. Ning wants to tie her up through the child and marry her so that he can adopt his daughter in a legitimate name."
These words are heart-breaking.
Ning Muchen gritted his teeth, "Qu Tiantian is not my daughter."
"Then why does Mr. Ning spend millions to take care of a girl who is not related to him by blood? Why does Mr. Ning claim to be her father?"
"Why should I abandon the woman who gave birth to me and accompany her?"
"I'm not." Ning Muchen insisted, looking at Yan Ning, "I have nothing to do with Qu Tiantian."
Lawyer Dong frowned.
Lawyer Qi sneered, "Then can we speculate that Mr. Ning and Qu Tiantian are not related by blood, but he is willing to go to great lengths to take care of her because of the child's biological mother, Qu Anqing, right?"
Lawyer Dong quickly said, "My client and Qu Anqing are just friends."
Lawyer Qi nodded, "They are indeed friends. Mr. Ning abandoned his fiancée for this friend, and abandoned his own children for this friend's child."
"My client suspects that Mr. Ning will treat Qu Tiantian better than his own child in the future raising process."
"So my client insisted on raising the children on his own."
"According to our country's laws, a child should be raised by the mother just after birth. And although my client currently does not have a job, she has investments and savings, and she also has the ability to work again."
"Children need to grow up in a good environment, and they also need to grow up in a loving family."
After Lawyer Qi finished speaking, he looked at Ning Muchen and said, "Mr. Ning currently does not have the ability to provide such an environment."
She took out a USB flash drive and said, "This is the video we got at the entrance of the kindergarten. This is the video at the entrance of my client."
"I believe that after the mediator sees it, he will understand why my client insists on raising the child by himself."
The mediator opens these videos.
The first is the video at the entrance of the kindergarten.
Ning Muchen is holding a child, followed by a gentle woman. In the video, they both smile and talk to the child.
We are simply a family, and when we greet other parents, we always say hello in a family tone.
Ning Muchen pursed his lips and his chest heaved violently.
He knew in his heart that showing these videos would reduce his points.
No matter how he explains it now, it's useless.
No one would believe that he was really just afraid that the child would be isolated in the kindergarten.
