"Here, take it!" The girl was expressionless as ever, as if she wasn't giving a gift, but throwing away trash.
Han Mingyue slowly smiled, "Thank you."

Monday, the court hearing.
Since Zhen Yan was the subject of the dispute, he had to be present.
Zhen Yu also took the morning off to go with her mother and brother.
The town's courtroom wasn't big and had only bare functionalities.
There weren't any lawyers involved; upon accepting Mr. Zhen's appeal, both parties appeared, presented their arguments, and the child's opinion was sought.
After the procedure ended, without Zhen Yu presenting the recording, a ten-minute recess was taken, and the decision was promptly announced.
It might sound rushed, but that was the reality. The place was small and efficient.
Mr. Zhen's appeal was rejected, and he was not convinced, "Judge, if those two are divorced, shouldn't each parent have custody of one child? Why wouldn't you grant me custody?"
