He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.
Chapter 69 Jiang Yan returns, this time you've lost.
Although she was always thinking about her older brother, Siyi knew that her priority was to see Sun Xiaoman first.
The court will reopen tomorrow.
Regardless of whether she wanted to continue the lawsuit, she felt it was necessary to see Sun Xiaoman again before making a decision.
After parting ways with Ye Zhenghao, she didn't go straight home, but went to the firm.
When she arrived there, she first changed into a clean business suit.
Looking at the sky, it was already getting late. Several hours had passed since the KTV incident, and Sun Xiaoman should probably have sobered up by now.
She tried calling Sun Xiaoman, but no one answered.
Undeterred, she dialed several more times, but still no one answered.
Her usually keen intuition told her that Sun Xiaoman might not even be able to appear in court tomorrow.
After much thought, I decided to go find Sun Xiaoman myself.
Although there is evidence to prove that Sun Xiaoman is very likely deceiving herself.
But no matter what, Siyi is not the kind of person who would easily destroy anyone just by relying on that tape.
Although the wound on her forehead was still a little painful, it wasn't a big deal. She casually bought two loaves of bread and a bottle of milk at the supermarket and drove herself to Sun Xiaoman's house.
It's a fairly ordinary apartment building in a residential community.
Ye Siyi had never been here before, but the environment didn't seem too bad.
Following the address on Sun Xiaoman's file, she quickly arrived at the fifth floor of the apartment building and found room 533. As she approached and was about to ring the doorbell, she discovered that the door was ajar.
He instinctively gave it a gentle push, and a sharp female voice quickly came from inside, "Impossible! Don't even dream about it! I absolutely won't let this go this time!"
It was Sun Xiaoman's voice.
Siyi's heart sank. Actually, she didn't have the habit of eavesdropping on other people's conversations, and it was also very unethical.
I decided to leave for a while, but as soon as I turned around, I heard a frivolous male voice coming from inside.
“Sun Xiaoman, you climbed into my bed yourself, and now you’re still being so stubborn. What? Didn’t Brother Blood Wolf teach you to behave? Let me tell you! I’ve been following Brother Blood Wolf for many years, and I’m currently working on a big deal for him. Do you really think Brother Blood Wolf would let anything happen to me?”
After a pause, the arrogant male voice took on a lewd tone, "Hey little beauty, you're all mine now. I don't care that you're a veteran. Wouldn't it be better if you followed me? You care about your boyfriend, don't you? Then come over a few times a month. It'll be more exciting to have an affair with me, won't it? I guarantee your boyfriend will never find out."
"Go away!"
"Ha, still so feisty, but I like your feisty spirit."
"Guo Haichao, let me tell you, I will fight you to the end! I will definitely put you in jail."
With a "slap," Siyi, standing outside the door, instinctively felt a jolt in her back. She guessed that the man must have slapped Sun Xiaoman. Sure enough, she heard him shout violently, "You ungrateful bitch!"
Siyi couldn't listen anymore. She turned around, raised her hand, and pushed open the apartment door. She saw Sun Xiaoman fall onto the sofa in the living room.
Standing opposite the sofa was a man about 1.78 meters tall, who was the defendant in the case.
Guo Haichao was quite surprised to see Siyi, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved. After all, she was Sun Xiaoman's lawyer, so it wasn't too strange that she would come here.
However, considering his current situation, he still felt somewhat uneasy.
Siyi could see the fleeting panic in his eyes. Recalling the disgusting things he had just said, her eyes darkened, and her voice became even colder, "Guo Haichao, you are the defendant in this case. How dare you come to the plaintiff's home without permission to threaten the plaintiff? You are simply adding insult to injury. I will definitely tell the truth about this matter in tomorrow's court hearing."
Although Guo Haichao was a local thug, he was still somewhat aware of Siyi's identity.
This lawyer is no ordinary person. In fact, some people have been saying before that she seems to have some connection with Jiang Yan Hui. However, these rumors shouldn't be taken too seriously, but one thing is certain.
That's Ye Zhenghao.
The renowned chief inspector of the police force was her own brother, and she would never dare to offend such a person casually.
His heart sank, but he hesitated, feeling ashamed that a grown man like himself could be so easily intimidated by a woman's words. He couldn't bear the thought, so he shouted, "Attorney Ye, you've come at the right time! Do you really think I raped her? This woman clearly seduced me! If you help her with the case, you'll ruin your reputation!"
Siyi glanced at him disdainfully, scoffed, and said dismissively, "It's none of your business how I do things, you're a criminal suspect. Get lost! Are you waiting for me to call the police?"
Guo Haichao probably knew that his verbal skills were definitely not as good as Siyi's, so he turned around and ran away with his tail between his legs.
For a moment, only Siyi and Sun Xiaoman remained in the apartment.
She glanced at Sun Xiaoman, who was half-reclining on the sofa, and finally sighed, "How are you?"
Actually, she was quite pitiful, regardless of the truth of that case.
Not everyone can bear to see a woman get herself into this state.
Sun Xiaoman was originally very beautiful, and she had a stunningly beautiful appearance.
She also loves makeup, and her whole face is exceptionally delicate.
I reckon any man would be tempted by her, no wonder Guo Haichao said those things just now.
But then she thought about Guo Haichao's appearance and lewd demeanor, and Siyi secretly wondered if Sun Xiaoman, with her looks, would actually be interested in Guo Haichao.
Is there some misunderstanding here?
Remembering Jiang Yanhui's confident demeanor, now convinced she was the loser, Siyi genuinely hoped there was still a chance for things to turn around. Jiang Yanhui had only concluded that Sun Xiaoman must have seduced the defendant because of Sun Xiaoman's past actions.
But what if it isn't?
So, he's the one who lost, isn't he?
"Attorney Ye."
Sun Xiaoman's gentle voice interrupted Siyi's thoughts. She propped herself up from the sofa, her face filled with unconcealed shame. "I'm sorry, Attorney Ye, about what happened at the karaoke bar... later... later, Young Master Yan's people told me about it. I'm really sorry..."
"never mind."
Siyi waved her hand and simply sat down next to her. Seeing the weariness between her brows, she didn't intend to waste any more words with her and went straight to the point, "Now that everyone is safe and sound, there's no need to bring up those things again. But you have to tell me honestly, is there any hidden story about this that I don't know about?"
Sun Xiaoman immediately bit her lip, avoiding her probing gaze.
Siyi immediately understood that this woman was indeed hiding many things from her. She remembered that she had repeatedly assured her that if she were to go to court, she should tell her the whole truth. But now, this woman was still being hesitant and evasive.
Siyi's temper flared immediately. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and when she spoke again, her tone was exceptionally sharp, "Sun Xiaoman, you should know what I told you before. I am a lawyer, and it is true that I have an obligation to help my clients win their cases. But let me tell you, I am absolutely not a lawyer who will stop at nothing to get paid and disregard right and wrong. It's fine if you don't tell me the truth now, but you can hire another lawyer for tomorrow's case!"
After she finished speaking, she was about to turn and leave when Sun Xiaoman suddenly blocked her way and knelt down with a thud.
Siyi was startled, and before she could bend down to help her, the girl had already begun to sob and speak.
“Attorney Ye, I’m sorry, I know I shouldn’t have kept this from you, but I really had no choice… This matter actually has nothing to do with me. I’ve been wronged. That Guo Haichao has always had ill intentions towards me. Later, he drugged me when I wasn’t paying attention, and then he used past events to blackmail me. I… I had to compromise…”
At this point, Siyi became somewhat puzzled, "If you were willing to compromise, why are you suddenly going to sue him?"
"That's because... that day at the bar, he threatened me with things from the past. I had no choice but to flatter him, but... but my boyfriend saw it. I... I love my boyfriend very much. We were about to get married. If he knew about those things, he would definitely not want me anymore. I can only say that I was raped... Only in this way will my boyfriend not leave me. He is a very kind and good man. I really don't want to lose him."
So that's how it is. It seems Sun Xiaoman isn't as despicable as Jiang Yanhui described. Judging from her words, I can roughly analyze the situation. She was indeed quite promiscuous before, but now she's probably keeping herself pure for a man, only to be blackmailed by Guo Haichao.
Thinking about it this way, Sun Xiaoman is innocent; the most despicable one is Guo Haichao!
"Get up and get some rest. Remember you have a court case tomorrow."
Sun Xiaoman's eyes lit up. She grabbed Siyi's sleeve and asked nervously, "Attorney Ye, I only trust you. I know you are very capable. You must help me."
"Thank you for trusting me so much. I will help you, but I have one request: you must tell all the facts in court tomorrow."
Sun Xiaoman immediately looked troubled, "...But...but what if my boyfriend finds out..."
"How can a dishonest person win a case? Victory is on the side of justice. If you want to eliminate future troubles, you must tell the truth. The jury is not stupid. Do you really want the defense attorney to use your past as the biggest loophole in this case to bring you down? Think it through! If you are willing, the only trump card the other side has is your past. You have to make the jury believe that you have really changed and that everything you are currently suffering is because Guo Haichao forced you. Only then can you put Guo Haichao in jail."
Siyi spoke each word with utmost sincerity, and Sun Xiaoman's expression finally showed a slight change.
Siyi knew that she was a smart person and that she wasn't afraid of losing the case. However, since this matter concerned Sun Xiaoman herself, she decided not to pressure her. She held down the hand that was gripping her sleeve and said, "I'm leaving now. I will still help you with the case tomorrow, but my stance remains the same. Think it over carefully. If you can't make a decision by tomorrow, then I don't think there's any point in continuing the fight, because you're bound to lose."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left the apartment without waiting for Sun Xiaoman to say anything more.
Once she got downstairs and into her car, she remembered something else important.
Without even taking a breath, I took out my phone, found a number in my call log, and dialed it back.
The phone rang twice before being answered. A deep, languid male voice called her in an incredibly sexy tone, "Baby."
Siyi frowned and said, "Jiang Yanhui, call me by my name!"
The man on the other end of the phone shamelessly gave an "oh," then lazily called out, "Sisi..."
Siyi's heart skipped a beat, and she was somewhat speechless with anger, "Jiang Yanhui, you..."
"Sisi, I knew you would call me, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. What? We've only been apart for a few hours, do you miss me already, hmm?"
Siyi gritted her teeth and growled, "Yes! I miss you so much! Jiang Yan, I just called you to tell you that I have some very, very good news! I wonder if Young Master Yan would be interested in hearing it?"
She deliberately emphasized the words "very, very good news".
Obviously, someone as intelligent as Jiang Yanhui knew that this news was probably "utterly devastating" for him.
However, he was interested in hearing any news, good or bad, coming from his prickly little cat.
“Baby, I love hearing everything you say. You have no idea how much your voice can seduce me. Just hearing your voice makes me miss you so much I can't stand it…”
Siyi could almost picture Jiang Yan holding his phone with a cocky grin on his face right now.
He spoke vulgar words without batting an eye.
However, she didn't want to pay any attention to his tone. She had probably been "teased" by him too many times and had become numb to it, so she naturally chose to ignore it.
She's now just eager to announce another important piece of news, which she believes will dampen his spirits.
Thinking of all this, Siyi interrupted his pointless ramblings without hesitation and said crisply, "Jiang Yanhui, stop arguing with me. I just want to tell you one thing: the bet we made before, it wasn't me who lost, it was you!"
