Hold a Court Now Episode 17

Greedy brothers and a smooth talker 23 yrs younger than his love interest

Gma loaded them up with snacks for the way home. Qin leaves them all for Shen and heads home. She tells her roomie that Shen confessed and she turned it down. There is a conflict of interest with jobs and they both already saw the fallout with Shen’s friends at failed wedding ceremony. Shen’s mom notices all the homemade snacks and asks about them. She is assured they were all farmer’s market items including a bag of candy he would never buy. She isn’t fooled in the least but doesn’t press him. Shen is commiserating with his friend but wants to have a different outcome. His friend did have some new news. Three vacancies are available in the higher criminal court. He thinks the competition will be brutal but that Shen might be good enough to make it through it. This gives Shen something to seriously consider as that is what he originally saw himself doing. One case is a woman who was trying to get her dad to the hospital on her electric bike and had an accident on the way. She ran a red light and her dad died at the scene. It was later determined his death was due to his heart not the accident. She is being drowned in medical and legal fees with her brothers adding on lawsuits of their own. They picked out an insurance policy for their father but expected the sister to pay for premiums. She didn’t get to it and they are wanting the payout an insurance company could provide. They are also wanting 300k lump sum as a wrongful death claim. Judge Shu then informed them the accident wasn’t cause of death. I get frustrated listening to all this garbage they’re spewing with nobody shutting them up. They just let that poor injured woman sit there taking all there verbal abuse and call it a day. 😝 Here I wish Qin would have gone with her. Had she known about the greedy brothers, I would like to think she would have been there defending her. She just did not want the woman indebted even more trying to pay for legal fees she couldn’t afford. The other case has two children upset that a man their age has seduced their mother and after her assets. He is all poetry and love is more important than food for the table etc etc and he is rather obnoxious and the older lady is basking in the attention. His comments about poor people being allowed to have love struck an unexpected chord for Qin. It’s not that she doesn’t want or not believe in love, she just knows there is a practical side to relationships as well. Judge Shu gets a surprise when her friend says she is taking Fei to her home for the day.
