On the day of the trial.
Song Mimi sat in front of her dressing mirror as she looked at her appearance. Her jet black long hair resting on the right side of her shoulder.
"This is it then. I have no regrets from here onwards. Xiao Juhan, for once I wish you were here to see me set myself free from the past. But there's just somethings that I can let go off. " she said as she put on a deep makeup and wore a black long dress with heels before taking her bag and left her room as Song Luo was standing right in front of her.
"Isn't it too early for you to wake up? You should have some more rest. " she said to her looking at her appearance.
"Are you going somewhere? I didn't know you had friends here in Bangkok. " she said to her.
"I don't. I wanna come with you. You pamper me too much and I don't want to get lazy. It's already seven getting to eight, shouldn't I be up already? I'm coming with you. " Song Luo said to her.
"Don't be stubborn. I don't want you there so just stay home. When I come back, I'll bring somebody with me, she's another family member I found. We're not alone, uncle Zhou's daughter is still alive and she's now part of our family since we've all lost our family. " she said to her as she patted her head.
"Really...? Alright then. I'll wait for you to come home then. I want to see her. " she said as she saw her to the door and then waited for her to drive away before going back inside.

"Mrs Song, you're here. " Feng Nanxin said as he helped her out of her car.
"Let's get this done with. It's clear that everything falls on Lei Ming, I don't want to delay with this. " she said as they went inside and took their seats. Then some officers also came in with Lei Ming as he looked at Song Mimi.
"What's with the ghetto? Do you think you're some sort of mafia queen? " he sneered at her and she turned to him with a sly smile on her face.
"Well you never know. Lei Ming, I can't say it's nice to see you again but I'm sure the days when I never get to see you again is soon approaching. Don't worry, this won't take long at all. " she said to him and Lei Ming looked at her pissed as the officers pushed him to his seat. Then the judge entered soon after that as they all got up.
"Court is in session!! "

"Mr Lei, from the accuser's point of view, it's clear that you're clearly at fault here. As for the assaulting done to Mrs Song, I'll pass my judgement on our next meeting. And as for the divorce, I grant it right away and the conditions attached to it. " the judge said and Feng Nanxin took some papers out and sent it to Lei Ming right away. He looked at her with soo much anger and she in return just stared at him coldly.
"Mr Lei, please sign the papers now. " Feng Nanxin said and Lei Ming looked at him and sneered.
"You also like her? You like a witch like her? She's clearly soo blunt, what did I ever see in you? " he said as he signed them right away and Song Mimi smiled.
"This will be continued on the last day of December. Court dismissed. " the judge said before leaving and they all got up as he left. Then the officers took Lei Ming back right away as he stopped in front of Song Mimi.
"You want a company that's dead and gone? Song Mimi, you'll come back begging me to take you back when you realize how hard it is." he said to her as he was being dragged away.
"This went way more smoother than I thought. Even though it took quite a while. That lawyer is doomed to fail defending someone like Lei Ming. What a waste of his talents. We have nothing to do here then, I should take my leave. " she said as she headed out and Feng Nanxin followed her until she got in her car and left.

"Is this your house? What are we doing here? " Zhou Sheng asked her as they both got off.
"Luoluo wants to see you. You're family after all. We're the only ones left of what our parents left behind so we must stick together. Don't upset her in anyway. " Song Mimi said as she entered and then Zhou Sheng followed her in.
"Luoluo! I'm back! " she yelled as she put on her slippers going in and Zhou Sheng just followed behind her.
"You're finally back. Where's uncle Zhou's daughter? " she asked as she looked at the woman standing behind her.
"You... I've seen you somewhere before... you're the CEO of Black Cosmetics. That's the only cosmetics brand sister and I use. Turns out there was a reason. We like to keep things in the family. " she said to her coming down.
"I didn't think you use only Black Cosmetics." she said to her softly.
"No need to be soo polite. You're now also part of our family. We are family now and you can celebrate every festival with us. Come and sit let's get to know each other well. " she said as she pulled her to the couch engaging her in a long talk.

"Mother... mother...?! " Xiao Juhan whined pulling on his mother's dress.
"I already said no. You're spending the new year here and I'll decide whether you get to go back to Bangkok after that. You had me make an investment for a girl and now you won't let me rest. Keep bugging me and I won't agree to it at all. " she said to him as she kept on looking on her tablet.
"But mother, I already agreed to spend the new year with you please don't be soo cruel. " he said to her as his tears rolled down his cheeks.
"You're... you're crying...? What are you doing? Don't do this. Stop crying... alright fine you can go after new year. " she said wiping his tears away and a sly smile formed on his face.
"You stinking liar! " she yelled as she punched him eventually knocking him out.
