Lei Feng and others reached the Coffee house 1 and a half hours late. It was all Lei Feng's idea.
He wanted them to feel desperate. Zhao Lang and others received a dozen calls from Gu Feitian but Lei Feng told them not to pick it up.
They entered the coffee shop and took the booth at the hall's center. This time he picked up Gu Feitian's call and said, "We are at table 001, I will only wait for 2 minutes."
The Gu Family sisters were giggling after seeing their father dancing around at the words of their brother.
The Father & Son duo came running towards them, breathing heavily. They glared at Lei Feng like they would eat him alive but dared not to say it aloud.
"Take a chair and sit down." Lei Feng commanded.
Gu Tianchen worked his ass off to carry the heavy sofa chair to the table. His father effortlessly sat on it making him angry but he could only grit his teeth and bring another sofa chair.
Gu Feitian said, "Wife, I know I was wrong here and I apologize for what I have done but please don't vent your anger on Tianchen, he is innocent and treats you like his mother."
"Yes Mom, I beg you. Please drop the case and go home. We can still live happily." Gu Tianchen added.
Lei Feng knew this was hard for Zhao Lang so he held her hand conveying that he and his sisters were still there for her.
Seeing some reaction Gu Tianchen took the chance and kneeled and shouted, "Mom! Please go home with us!!"
He wanted to sue the crowd to pressure Zhao Lang. The tactic worked well and now the whole crowd was looking at them. Some even said words of pity for Gu Tianchen.
"If this is how you make up to her, then there is no room to talk. Let us see each other in court." Lei Feng got up and pulled Zhao Lang out of there.
Gu Feitian felt nervous and seeing that his son's tactic was successful he kneeled as well, "Son, I know I have been partial to your brother but you cannot tell your mom to leave me. I beg you please go back with us."
His inner thoughts were like, 'Once I am done with this, I will return this shame 100-fold. I will let you beg on the streets.'
Lei Feng was not surprised by this, he could see they were faking it.
He mocked him instead, "Ohhh~ What do we have here? The Chairman of The Ancient Group? Why are you on your knees? Did you do something wrong?"
Since they wanted to play the victim card, Lei Feng decided to popularize his deeds.
"Tell us Mr. Gu, how did you wrong this lady? Also, why are you forcing your son to kneel as well? Was he part of the wrongdoing as well?"
Each question was a crit for Gu Feitian and his son. He wanted to say something but did not know how to answer. He felt ashamed.
"What happened Mr. Gu? Is there anything you can't say?" Lei Feng mocked him ruthlessly.
At this point, people had already taken out their phones and started recording the whole scene turned into a play. Lei Feng stood up and said, "Let me tell everyone what happened here. The Truth!"
He held Zhao Lang's hand and asked her to stand beside him.
"Listen, everyone. This is Mrs. Zhao Lang. She is my birth mother and wife of Mr. Gu here."
"Mr. Gu cheated on her with another woman. He gave birth to a son with her. Then he replaced me with him when we were young. Now he wants to dump us so he can transfer all his property to his precious son. Isn't it, Mr. Gu Feitian?"
Lei Feng was ruthless with his words but he still held back an ace.
"No, it was a mistake, I want to take you all home and continue to live like a complete family." Gu Feitian tried to explain while keeping his stance low.
"Ooohh~~~ so it was a mistake? Then could you please tell us why replaced me if you wanted a complete family? Was I not part of the family? Ah, now that I remember you never let me take your surname even after finding me 4 years ago."
Gu Feitian was shaking at this point, he had never felt this powerless in his life. He, who controlled the lives of thousands, was the richest man in the city and was now on his knees begging a woman.
"You are not here for the family, you are here because you are scared of losing your wealth in a divorce case. haha. That is your true self." Lei Feng dropped one bomb after another.
There were chitter-chatter noises in the whole cafe. People were on their feet surrounding the center table, some even live broadcasting the whole process.
"No, we are a family why would I be scared of sharing prosperity with my kin? You are lying." Gu Feitian retorted back.
"Oh really," Lei Feng pulled up Gu Ling from her chair and said, "This is Gu Ling, my sister and the ex-CEO of the Ancient group. Everyone must know her as a business genius. She took the whole company to new heights. Tell me, Mr. Gu, how many shares does she have in the company?"
"umm...." Gu Feitian was out of words.
"None" Lei Feng did not give him the time to answer. "He never acknowledged her efforts at all. He is a stuck-up guy who favors boys over girls. He just sees my sisters as tools for business marriages."
"Everything was left for this precious son who is kneeling with him," he added.
Gu Feitian was scared at this point if he said any more, it would turn from a personal attack to a business war. And he knew DouYin could turn public opinion into anything.
He couldn't stay here anymore, he ran away without caring for his son.
One of the people who was doing the live broadcast came forward and asked, "Mr. Lei is all of this true? What is going to happen next?"
"Of course, it is all true. We have already filed a lawsuit against Mr. Gu. You can visit the Legal Live section on DouYin to watch the hearing." Lei Feng replied humbly.
He then paid the bill and took everyone back to the hotel.
Gu Meng and Gu Jing'er were a little disturbed because they did not want to make this a big issue but after hearing the reasoning behind it, they cooperated.

....
It was Friday, the day of the hearing.
The courtroom was abnormally full. The Gu Family was nothing short of celebrities in the Lotus City. People from the police department were present to manage the crowd. Some journalists were present interviewing the lawyers on both sides on what was the case about and what are their expectations from the case.
The jury and the parties to the case were present. On the prosecutor's side were Lei Feng, Li Yue, Zhao Lang, the three sisters, and the Xu Family.
On the defendant's side, the whole Gu family was present along with the Zhao Family, and surprisingly the Zhu family was also there. Zhu Yiting was sitting with Gu Tianchen.
Lei Feng was not surprised by this development. Money transcends all relationships.
