In court.
The first witness was the ex-wife of the deceased, Sun Mou; she started her woeful cliché performance under Zhu Yuansi's instruction.
However, since her current husband was sitting in the spectator's seat, watching her, she couldn't overdo it, at least not to the extent of appearing too eager to mourn Sun Mou.
This also greatly limited the ex-wife's performance. Crying too miserably could displease her husband, but not crying miserably enough wouldn't affect the jury.
Zhu Yuansi cursed internally, Zhang Wei, you're quite something, to have actually brought the ex-wife's current husband to court, just to counter this move of mine, huh?
If Zhang Wei could hear Zhu Yuansi's complaint, he would answer yes.
I brought the ex-wife's current husband here precisely to prevent you from using the ex-wife for your narrative and to stop her from playing the sympathy card!
Didn't it work?
