The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex

Chapter 432: Entering the Dock

At 8:50 AM, the court opened and since this was an ordinary civil dispute, they did not need to head to the presiding court for the pronouncement of their judgement.

The chief judge, three judges, and the clerk were already seated. They all looked very grim as they flipped through the documents, then they whispered amongst themselves.

Li Qin’s powerful and influential friends and relatives were all seated in the public gallery and all those seated on the plaintiff’s side of the gallery were all of the Mo family while there were only a few people on the defendant’s side of the gallery since no one from the Ye family showed up. Ye Snr. and Xia Jingshu were not present either. Everyone at the Ye family pretended to not know anything about it since this case had nothing to do with them and even if they did know, they were reluctant to come because the child did not belong to them.

They couldn’t wait for the child to be sent to the Mo family.

This was the first time He Xiyan was in such a solemn and grave location. She gripped her fingers tightly and she couldn’t tamper down the worry and anxiety in her eyes. She took a look around and saw that those people were also looking at her and this was especially so for the relatives of the Mo family who were staring at her with a strange look in their eyes.

She was ushered to the dock and the chair was extremely cold. The moment she sat down, she felt a chill that seeped through her bones. Ye Hao held her hand tightly as though he wanted to pass his warmth to her but he could also feel her hands growing colder, so he became more worried.

Mo Yixuan sat in his seat and looked at his ex-wife from a distance, his eyes filled with worry and sympathy. He could tell that she was very worried or anxious and she looked more worried than anyone in the room. This was the first time he saw her so afraid.

He suddenly had an urge to dismiss the case because he truly did not want to see her in such state. However, he was left with no other choice since that was his son and he could not let his son be raised by the Ye family. More importantly, he wanted his wife to return to his side.

The gravel suddenly pounded and the chatter in the court was immediately silenced.

The plaintiff’s lawyer made his statement and showed evidence of the child’s birth and the DNA report. The main gist of his statement was to provide the reasoning and advantages of the child’s legitimate father. Then, the defendant’s lawyer also made his statement.

Everything went according to the court process and soon it was time for the lawyers to debate.

He Xiyan suddenly realized that Lawyer Chen who was supposed to be the best lawyer of Ye City was constantly losing the debate against the plantiff’s lawyer and his arguments were all very weak. It was clear that he wasn’t the plantiff’s lawyer match and this was completely different from what he had promised her.

“Why...” He Xiyan shouted at Lawyer Chen as she rose to her feet abruptly. She noticed that the situation was taking a turn for the worse.

However, the judge immediately pounded his gravel after she spoke and gestured for her to remain silent. When the staff stationed around the court noticed that she was getting a little agitated, they quickly approached her and pulled her down. Then, they reminded her to remain calm in quiet whispers.

The court proceedings continued and soon it was time for the judgement to be pronounced. The judges and the chief judge all left their seats and headed toward the discussion room. They spent roughly 15 minutes inside and after they had reached an agreement, they returned to their seats.
