He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.

"Really, you don't want a gift?"

Looking at the woman in his arms, who seemed to be on edge, her bright black eyes were filled with angry flames, but beneath the anger was clearly a hint of shyness. He was in a good mood, but he pretended to be heartbroken and said, "Don't be so barbaric. I saved your life, so I'm repaying evil with kindness, right? Why don't you thank me properly? Now you treat me like an enemy?"

It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned what happened that day; as soon as he did, Siyi got furious.

Yes, he saved me earlier.

But the subsequent conflict with his older brother was deliberately caused by him!

How dare he ask me to thank him?

Siyi placed her hand on his chest and pushed him forcefully, but she still couldn't break free from his grip.

However, the two were not as close as before.

She took a deep breath, her voice filled with suppressed anger, "Jiang Yan Hui, you'd better not push your luck. I've already thanked you for what happened that day, and you even deliberately used me to provoke my older brother afterwards. How dare you come here to claim credit?"

"Okay, I finally know what it means to 'cross the river and then burn the bridge'." He sighed helplessly. "It seems like I've helped you with more than just this one thing. You're so good at forgetting the good things but remembering the bad ones."

Siyi was about to retort when she heard a conversation coming from the other end of the corridor. Someone must be coming. She quickly pushed Jiang Yan away and said impatiently, "Let go of me! Someone's coming!"

Jiang Yan felt a little uncomfortable with her tense expression. She raised an eyebrow and snorted casually, "I just won't let go. If someone's with someone, so be it. Does that mean a lawyer like you can't be with a man?"

Siyi knew he would act shamelessly, but the conversation on the other end was getting closer and closer. She didn't have time to be sarcastic, so she could only struggle with all her might, "Let me go, Jiang Yanhui! Let me go right now! You know perfectly well where this is and who I am. Are you trying to kill me?"

"I love you so much, how could I bear to kill you?" His words were sweet and affectionate, but his actions were anything but reliable. His hands were still tightly holding her slender waist, and his long fingers were even rubbing her waist through a thin layer of fabric, causing her to tremble.

"Jiang, Yan, Hui!" Siyi was truly at her wit's end. Of course, she knew that if this man became shameless, she would have no way to deal with him. She could only hold her breath and soften her tone, "The court hearing is about to begin, and I need to go see Sun Xiaoman. Please let me go first."

"Okay, then come find me in the parking lot when the case is over, okay?"

She knew he had no good intentions, but all Siyi wanted was for him to let go of her quickly, so she didn't think too much about it and nodded in agreement, "I understand, let me go first."

"Sisi, remember that a verbal promise is still a promise. If you run away later, I will punish you."

"I understand, just let go!"

Jiang Yan Hui still refused to let go of her. Two people who were walking over from a distance were both looking down and couldn't see what was going on. Si Yi was very anxious. But then Jiang Yan Hui suddenly said something surprising, "Give me a kiss and I'll let you go."

What?

"Jiang Yan returned, and Si Yi couldn't help but raise her voice in anger."

"Does it have to look like an explosion?" Jiang Yan interrupted her in time, his handsome face, so striking it made her heart race, drew closer. His eyes held a smile, and his low voice was incredibly suggestive, "Baby, time is running out. Do you want to think it over carefully?"

The conversation in the distance grew closer, and Siyi's heart leaped into her throat.

Of course, she couldn't let others see her and Jiang Yanhui being so intimate, but the man in front of her... she knew that since he had said it, he would never let go until he got what he wanted!

Damn it! That despicable man, he always has to push my limits!

"Jiang Yan Hui, you're a complete scoundrel!"

"Sisi, they're here."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yan felt his lips pressed against hers. He knew she wouldn't kiss his lips; her soft lips simply touched the corner of his mouth, as lightly as a feather brushing against it, her warm breath caressing his face.

It really was just for a moment, but he could clearly hear his own heartbeat. For so many years, he had always felt that no one would ever give him such a strong feeling again.

The woman in front of me did just that!

Little did he know that he wasn't the only one whose heart was racing; Siyi's was too!

Although this kiss was nothing compared to their previous passionate kisses, especially since it was under such circumstances and she was being forced into it, for some reason, she felt her heart beating faster than ever before, pounding as if it were about to jump out of her throat. Her face instantly turned a deep purplish-red, and she couldn't control her emotions at all.

"You...can you let go now?"

Unable to catch her breath, she could only awkwardly turn her face away. Just then, she saw the two people approaching in the distance. Her slightly fluttering heart instantly snapped back to reality, and she quickly struggled, "Jiang Yanhui, you're a man, you keep your word! I... I did everything you said, let me go now!"

His captivating peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at her nervous expression. He seemed to have given up teasing her. He slowly released his hands from her waist, his slender fingers tracing the corner of his mouth where she had touched him. He then lowered his head, bringing his voice close to her ear, his deep voice stirring her heart, "Sisi, you cheated just now, but I won't force you today. Remember to come find me in the parking lot later."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked away in the other direction.

Siyi watched his tall, smug figure disappear into the distance, and her hatred intensified. However, she had no time to think about anything else, as the court hearing was about to resume, and she needed to find Sun Xiaoman and prepare her closing statement...

The court session resumed, and everyone was in place. Siyi had prepared everything. The judge sat at the head of the table, his deep voice carrying a touch of authority.

"The two lawyers may now make their closing arguments."

Siyi swallowed hard, took two deep breaths, and then slowly stood up.

"Your Honor, fellow jurors, the case has reached a point where you are all well aware of the ins and outs. My client, because of her beauty, was coveted by the defendant. He pursued her relentlessly for a long time, but still received no response, which is why he resorted to such despicable means to obtain her. I believe the evidence at hand is sufficient for me to reiterate. You may think that my client deserved what she got, and that she has questionable character, having even led such a life a few years ago. You may not want to believe that someone like her could change her ways. However, I believe you all understand what 'turning back is the right path' and 'starting over' mean. Yes..." My client was indeed young and naive back then. To achieve her goals, she did many things that harmed herself, and now she deeply regrets it. She has a fiancé she loves and wants to give him her best, yet feels she can give him so little. Therefore, she doesn't want this matter to damage their relationship and initially tried to conceal it, hoping to downplay the issue. However, the defendant is extremely aggressive! He not only repeatedly hurts my client but also shamelessly tries to threaten her into becoming his mistress indefinitely. If the outcome of a lawsuit is determined by a person's background and connections, then the defendant is also a member of organized crime; what credibility does he have?

"What I want to say now is that in 1995, in California, USA, a woman was also assaulted. The situation was very similar to now, but the court at that time acquitted the defendant, while the plaintiff was charged with seduction. At the time, everyone thought that the woman deserved it because her private life was very immoral. But no one expected that the plaintiff would suddenly commit suicide in her apartment afterwards."

"Actually, the plaintiff had already embarked on a bright path and started a new life, but suddenly encountered this situation. No one believes she is innocent. Who told her to have such a promiscuous private life in the past? It is because of this that a young life was taken from this beautiful world so early. Yes, the world is so beautiful, how can we look at people with prejudice? Can't someone who has been to prison turn back and start over? Can't someone who has made a mistake start over? If everyone here dares to say that they have never made a mistake, then you have the right to say that my client has no right to start over!"

After delivering her impassioned speech, she spoke each word with utmost seriousness, and finally bowed deeply to the judge, saying slowly, "Your Honor, jurors, that is all I have to say! I hope you will find the defendant guilty of rape!"

.........

Half an hour later, Xiao Zhang followed Siyi out of the courtroom, pulling a small black suitcase.

"Attorney Ye, what you just said was truly excellent!" Recalling what had just happened, Siyi finished her closing statement, and many people present couldn't help but cast approving glances at her.

She admired Attorney Ye more and more. He was so young, yet so capable. In the end, even Guo Haichao was found guilty and imprisoned.

"Attorney Ye, Attorney Ye"

Then another hurried female voice came from behind.
