The judge glanced at Chen Yan sympathetically.

According to the information, Chen Yan was once a forensic doctor. This profession often had to deal with emergencies and it was difficult to take into account family life.

The judge can understand the difficulties.

"But Mr. Chen Yan has left the position of forensic doctor. I read the information and opened a private clinic..." The judge looked through the documents in his hand and hesitated, "If this is the case, it should not have much impact on the child."

"Judge, that's an autopsy clinic!" said the lawyer. "I don't discriminate against any industry, but the work that deals with dead people all year round obviously cannot provide a good living environment for children. Moreover, although Mr. Chen increased his income after opening the clinic, his spare time did not increase much. We have investigated that the school's current parent meeting was absent once and he was late again."

The lawyer paused for a moment and pointed politely at Lu Xiaoyu beside him.

"If the child lives with his mother, this will never happen."

The judge frowned slightly, as if weighing and thinking.

"Judge." Lu Weiwei stood up and said, "Although my client missed the parent meeting, he rushed to school as soon as possible to understand his daughter's situation and actively make up for it. This shows that he is still a responsible father, and we cannot deprive him of his right to be a father because of this."

Lawyer: "No one wants to deprive him of his rights as a father. Now we are discussing who can give his children a better environment for growth. My client, Ms. Lu Xiaoyu, is obviously better in either aspect."

"The growth process of a child is full of surprises. Until the last moment, no one can guarantee that what he gives is the best for the child." Lu Weiwei retorted expressionlessly, "In my opinion, a stable living environment is also one of the important reasons. Chen Siyou has never been abroad. My client is very worried about whether she can adapt after she goes to a strange environment."

Lawyers should become extremely fast: "A stable environment is important, but if it causes serious harm to the child, no matter how stable it is, it should be terminated immediately! Only a new environment can bring the child to the right track!"

Lu Weiwei sneered: "Is life in the country the wrong track?"

"The mistake is to let the child continue to be raised by Mr. Chen!" The lawyer insisted on the railway track. "We learned from the school that Chen Siyou's personality is very impulsive! He is irritable and impatient, and often takes the action of catching the teacher off guard! Because of fighting with classmates, he was complained by many parents, and even dismembered a mouse in public in the class! A classmate was so scared that he didn't go to school for two days!"

The lawyer once again emphasized carefully: "Judge, imagine that a little girl under the age of eight dismembered a mouse in the class with a pencil-sharpening knife! If it weren't for the shadow of her father's special profession, how could she have done this?! What would this child look like in the long run?! Judge, on behalf of my client, I ask again to let the child and her mother get together as soon as possible!"

"Sir Judge! I don't think a woman who abandons her child for five years can take on this important task!" Lu Weiwei immediately refuted, with a cold tone.

"In five years of free time, she may not remember how to be a competent mother. In these five years, my client not only gave up his career, but also started a business for his daughter! He may not be the most qualified father, but his love for his children is beyond doubt!"

"Ms. Lu hasn't been worried about her daughter any day in these five years! Otherwise, she wouldn't have come back all the way!"

"So why did she leave her daughter five years ago? At that time, Chen Siyou was less than three years old!"

"That's because she's sick! She feels stressed..."

"A mother who is crushed by pressure? Who can guarantee that she will not repeat the same mistakes when the pressure comes next time?!"

"You know nothing about what happened back then and have no right to make accusations against my client!"

"I didn't blame anyone, I was just asking this possibility, she! She will be crushed by the heavy pressure of raising children!"

There was no way to fight against each other.

The judge was so anxious that he waved the gavel and hit it hard. Finally, he looked at Lu Xiaoyu and said in a deep voice: "Ms. Lu, I feel very sympathetic to you for five years of separation from your daughter, but you probably have to explain why you gave up your daughter's custody five years ago, otherwise the situation will be very unfavorable to you."

Lu Xiaoyu raised her chin slightly and calmly greeted the judge's gaze: "I can explain."

...

Sister Mei whispered in Lu Weiwei's ear: "How is it, what's the chance of winning?"

Lu pondered slightly, narrowing her eyes slightly, "It turns out that she is 70% sure, but now... it's 50% open."

Sister Mei was a little surprised, "The other party's lawyer is so awesome?"

"It's not a lawyer's problem." Lu looked at the judge at the height of the court, "You see the judge's expression."

Sister Mei is good at observing words and expressions, and immediately understands Lu Weiwei's meaning, "...Are you afraid that the judge will sympathize with Lu Xiaoyu?"

Lu pursed her lips slightly and said after a moment: "There will definitely be some tendency. As for how much impact it will have on the verdict, it is hard to say now, let's take a look first."

...

Lu Xiaoyu is explaining to the judge why she left her family.

"...After the child was born, I suffered from postpartum depression. I was alone at home and no one helped me. My husband was busy with work and often couldn't see anyone for two or three days. I had to feed, cook, wash clothes, clean the room, go out to buy vegetables every day... I often got awakened by the child's crying less than three hours at night, and then I breastfeed, change diapers, and coax the child, and repeat every day."

"Why not hire a nanny?" the judge asked.

Lu Xiaoyu replied: "Because my husband's income was small at that time and all the savings in the family were used to buy a new house, he could not afford the high monthly nanny fee."

The judge frowned, "Have you communicated with your husband?"

"Yes." Lu Xiaoyu said, "I hope he can change to a higher-paid job or a more relaxed job so that he can help me share the housework, but he did not agree."

Lu Xiaoyu looked at Chen Yan and continued, "My ex-husband is proud of his work. As for whether his wife and children are doing well, he may not care."

This sentence hits the bull's-eye. A man doesn't care about his family and is definitely the most severe accusation in the battle for custody!

The judge's expression became even more serious.

Chen Yan frowned and looked at Lu Xiaoyu silently.

Sister Mei whispered a sarcastic remark: "Old Chen, hurry up and book the air ticket, so that you can go abroad to see Youyou in the future."

Lu Xiaoyu said in court: "After the maternity leave, because the child cannot live without people, I can only quit my job and stay at home, but my life is still a mess, and my condition is getting worse and worse... I tried to commit suicide, and he sent me to the hospital in time. I thought he would compromise after this incident, but no, he could never leave his job."
