Ex-husband, Please Stay - C230

The car window slowly lowered, revealing Ji Rufeng’s cold and handsome face.

“Get in.” He only said two words, not wasting any time.

The Yuyao only hesitated for a moment, before opening the door and sitting down. If she really cared about face now, she would only suffer in the end. She wasn’t that stupid.

Just as she sat on the carriage, Ji Rufeng suddenly leaned over, the faint fragrance of the leaves rippled in the narrow space, Yuyao felt like his breathing was going to stop. “You …” She tried to stop him, but he pulled the seat belt over and buckled her up. Then he sat back and started the engine.

So it turned out that he was just fastening her seat belt. It was just her acting out of love.

Yuyao’s face was slightly red, her voice was stuttering, “You, why are you here?”

“Passing by.” He replied coldly without even turning his head as he focused on the road ahead of him.

Looking at his handsome face through the rearview mirror, Yuyao felt a coldness that could not be seen from thousands of miles away. But, passing by? Was this explanation too far-fetched? She didn’t think that such a coincidence existed in this world.

“I’m going back to the law firm. Are you on your way?”

“Yes.” Ji Rufeng replied indifferently, but the direction of the car was obviously not the way back to his law firm.

Yuyao naturally noticed that something was amiss, “Ji Rufeng, where do you want to take me?”

“Eat with me and then send you to the office.” He answered in a very formal manner.

“Why should I? I’m not a chaperone. ” The Yuyao muttered in dissatisfaction.

Ji Rufeng slowed down his car, and finally turned his head to look at her with a profound gaze, “There’s no need to accompany me to eat, it’s just accompanying me. However, if you want, I can cooperate with you throughout. ”

“Ji Rufeng, you rogue!” Yuyao roared in anger.

As soon as she said that, the car suddenly stopped. Ji Rufeng squinted his eyes with a faint smile. In a daze, he thought back to eight years ago, when Yao Yao seemed to like calling him a scoundrel.

Yuyao also seemed to have realized something and quickly turned his face away, but his face still blushed faintly.

“Sir, please park in the underground parking lot.” At this time, the car was already in front of a Western restaurant, the restaurant’s security personnel politely stepped forward and said. After all, Ji Rufeng’s car was right in front of the entrance, even if it was a luxurious car, they could not be reckless.

Ji Rufeng started up the engine again and parked the car in the underground parking lot. Then, the two of them rode the elevator into the dining hall.

The two of them chose a quiet place to sit. The restaurant’s decorations were not luxurious, but it was Yuyao’s favorite medieval style. When Ji Rufeng ordered his meal, he did not ask for Yuyao’s opinion, but instead, ordered all of the food that Yuyao liked.

The Yuyao lowered his head as he cut the steak and ate heartily. On the other hand, Ji Rufeng did not even touch his chopsticks as he sat in front of her and elegantly drank wine. “Eat slowly, no one is going to steal from you.”

“I’m hungry.” Yuyao replied vaguely with meat in her mouth.

“You’re hungry, but you still have to go back to the office to work overtime. I don’t see that you’re made of strong women.” Ji Rufeng took off his ice-cold mask, and the corner of his lips raised slightly.

“I’ll go back to the dossier for the entire day. Zhao family’s legal team won’t be easy to deal with.” The Yuyao pouted, her embroidered eyebrows slightly knitted together.

Ji Rufeng smiled helplessly. After so many years, his stubborn nature had not changed. No one could persuade her regarding the matter that she had decided on. ” Victory or defeat is not really important at all, and Xu Jingyi and Eastern City will get married again sooner or later. ”

Yuyao shook her head stubbornly. “That won’t be the case, although I haven’t known Jing Yi for long, I can tell that she is a woman with self-respect. As long as Zhao Dongcheng has other girls and children outside, she would definitely not be able to return to Zhao Dongcheng’s side.”

“Alright, we’ll be waiting.” Ji Rufeng smiled lightly and put down the goblet in his hand.

After dinner, Ji Rufeng drove her back to the law firm. At this time, it was almost empty. Ji Rufeng frowned slightly as he warned her to be careful and not work overtime.

Yuyao smiled faintly. This feeling of being cared for was really good, just like how it was back in the past.

Just as Yuyao walked into the office, she received a call from Yuchen. She had just finished recording the program and the assistant told her that Yuyao had called her, so she came back to ask.

“It was Du Linghao that bastard who left me alone on the road. He originally wanted you to come and save the situation, but now there’s no need. Sis, are you still not home? ”

“Yes, he’s still in the company. He’ll be leaving soon.” Lu Yuchen replied.

“I have to work overtime tonight. Tell my parents for me, so I won’t call back.” Yuyao replied as she hung up the phone.

On the other side, Lu Yuchen could not help but laugh as she heard the busy tone coming from the phone.

She stood at the elevator and waited for the elevator. The assistant followed, reporting to her about the schedule for the next day.

After a light ring, the elevator door opened. Gu Yihang and the secretary got on the same elevator.

“Brother Yi Hang.” She smiled and greeted, “Why didn’t you take the private elevator? Experience the emotions of the people? ”

“How poor.” Gu Yihang laughed warmly, you could see that he was in a good mood today, “The private elevator is broken, the engineering department is overhauling it right now.”

Yuchen smiled gently, and asked again, “Looks like I’m in a good mood today, is there a good thing?”

Gu Yihang’s eyes flashed with astonishment. He would never put her emotions on her face, yet she was easily seen through by this girl. Mn, “he indifferently replied,” When Wen Xue returns today, I’ll immediately go to the airport to pick you up.

The corner of Yuchen’s mouth parted into a sweet smile, and her tone carried a trace of flirtatiousness and playfulness.

The smile on Gu Yihang’s face deepened. When he looked at her, his eyes were filled with the pampering of an adult as he looked at a child who was messing around.

Gu Yihang and the assistant took the lead to step out of the elevator. Yuchen followed closely behind and the two politely said their goodbyes in front of the company entrance. Then, Gu Yihang sat in the Bentley. Yuchen’s driver drove her BMW over. The two of them went their separate ways.

It was a rare night without any announcements, so Yuchen and the two Yuyao sisters stayed in the bedroom together.

The thing that was different about him when she was young was that Yuchen was sitting on the sofa and reading a magazine when she had nothing to do. Yuyao was sitting at the table, focusing on researching cases and writing files.

“Yuyao, how much longer do you plan to work? These few days, you’ve been risking your life for Third Mother. ” Yuchen asked casually after flipping through a magazine.

Yuyao pressed her aching nose, finally dropped the information in her hand, and heavily fell back onto the sofa. She lightly leaned her head on Yuchen’s shoulder, “Tomorrow is the court hearing, I have a little pressure.”

“It’s not your first time in court, would you be nervous?” Yuchen laughed indifferently. Yuyao normally looked carefree, but she was extremely intelligent and quick-witted. Although she was not experienced, she was still very responsible for all the cases she had handled, regardless of their size. She had never lost a case that she had accepted before.

“Don’t worry, I have faith in you, so you should believe in yourself.” Yuchen held her hand comfortingly.

The light frown on Yuyao’s forehead did not relax, it was obvious that she was not that optimistic. This time I’m going to face the entire legal team of the corporation, and if they’re so sure of their victory, they must have a card in their hand that I don’t know about, but I haven’t figured out what that card is so far. ”

Yuchen smiled, and lovingly pinched the tip of her nose, “Since you can’t think of anything, then don’t think of it. Rest well tomorrow and pair in your best condition. “Didn’t you always say that there’s nothing to be afraid of when a soldier comes at the right time to defend himself?”

Yuchen was very good at comforting others, with just a few words, the haze that was pressing on Yuyao’s heart dissipated by more than half. She tiredly laid her head on Yuchen’s lap, her clear eyes blinking as she looked at the ceiling above her. As she thought of something, a warm smile appeared on her face.

“Why are you laughing so suddenly? You’re so silly.” Yuchen joked as she pinched the tip of her nose.

Yuyao turned her head, and did not look straight into her eyes, “Nothing much, I just suddenly thought of an interesting thing.”

“Oh? Tell me about it? ” Yuchen asked with interest.

“Don’t say it.” Yuyao straightforwardly refused, with a faint smile in her eyes. It was just that she suddenly thought of the scene when she ate with Ji Rufeng, which was as warm as it used to be. If it wasn’t for the fact that they had been separated for eight long years, and there wasn’t a Zuo Ya, Yuyao would have thought that they were still in love and love each other.

Yuchen gave a soft laugh which carried a bit of ambiguity. At this time, Yuyao’s cheeks were red, and she looked like a shy little girl. Naturally, she was thinking of her lover. Who were you thinking of just now, was it Ling Hao? ”

“Huh?” Only then did she realize that she had not told her sister that she and Du Linghao were just playing on the spot. From when did she start to have her own secrets to Yuchen? It was as if it started from the summer eight years ago when Yuchen told her that he liked Ji Rufeng.

She lightly blinked her long eyelashes, and after some slight hesitation, she probed: “Sis, I feel that Du Linghao and I are not really suitable.”

“What happened to you? A fight? ” ‘s gaze suddenly darkened. Yuyao and Du Linghao had always been fine, like a pair of happy enemies. All the elders thought highly of the marriage, yet Yuyao said such a thing in such a baffling manner.

“Nope.” Yuyao replied perfunctorily. Seeing Yuchen’s nervous expression, she felt like it was only a head and two heads. She knew that her sister was sensitive, so she shouldn’t have asked that question.

“But it’s too late to regret it now. Yuchen obviously wanted to grasp onto this topic and not let it go.” Yuyao, you … Is it because Ji Rufeng has returned that I am moved? ”

Yuyao did not know how to reply, so she decided not to. She stood up lazily, her hair a little messy from her grabbing. In her arms was a big pillow, making her look like an innocent little girl. She lazily acted like a spoiled child and said, “Sis, I’m tired. Let’s talk tomorrow.”

After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked in the direction of the entrance, obviously intending to escape from the scene. Only, just as she lifted the door handle, Yuchen’s slightly cold voice came from behind.

“If he’s alone now, if he still has you in his heart even after eight long years have passed, and if you’re not willing to give up on him, then you can stand together. There’s no need to even consider Du Linghao, as our Lu Family does not fear offending the Du Family. But Yuyao, I hope you can wake up a little. Ji Rufeng is with Zuo Ya now, and to him, you are merely a thing of the past. This kind of man is not worth paying for. ”

Yuyao did not reply, but her body clearly trembled intensely. After that, she quickly opened the door and left.

On the second day after a sleepless night, Yuyao forced herself up from her bed.

She hurriedly took a bath and stood in front of the bathroom’s mirror. With difficulty, she smiled and squeezed out a smile, then said to herself, “Lu Yuyao, do your best. Don’t let anyone affect your life again.”

Because the case was a public hearing, the courtroom was full before the trial.

The Yuyao accompanied Xu Jingyi to sit in the waiting room. The normally gentle and gentle Xu Jingyi looked a little nervous as her hands tightly folded in front of her. Her palms were covered in cold sweat.

“Don’t be nervous, pregnant women are emotionally unstable and will affect the fetus.” Yuyao comforted her gently.

Xu Jingyi gave a forced smile, “Lawyer Lu, I can see that you are nervous too, but you are still comforting me. Don’t worry, it doesn’t matter to me. There are a lot of things that can only happen in the end. I’ve already looked away. ”

Her careless words caused the Yuyao to go silent. Inexplicably, she thought of Ji Rufeng, as for her life, was it a rule or a passerby that could not force her?!

Time passed minute by minute, second by second, Yuyao lowered her head to look at her watch, the time just right. “Jingyi, it’s time for us to go to court.”

Lu Yuyao and Xu Jingyi walked into the court together. By then, Zhao Dongcheng and his lawyer was already seated at the plaintiff’s table.

It was the judge who announced the opening of the session, and the lawyers on each side made a brief statement in favour of their own counsel.

Then,’s lawyer took the lead to ask the plaintiff, “Ms. Xu Jingyi, how long have you been pregnant?”

“Twenty-one weeks.” Xu Jingyi truthfully answered. Of course, this sort of thing could not be hidden from others.

“So, when you were pregnant, you and my client, Mr. Zhao, were husband and wife. Is your child Mr. Zhao’s child?” the lawyer continued.

This question was obviously humiliating, but Xu Jingyi only held back her gaze for a moment, her expression still calm, “Yes.”

Yuyao who was seated at the side frowned, fiercely glaring at Zhao Dongcheng who was in the plaintiff area. Did he really think that everyone in the world was as shameless as he was when he shamelessly cheated?

“In other words, my client, Mr. Zhao, is the biological father of your child. Then, do you know that the law states that the father has the duty and right to guard and raise the child. Furthermore, the financial foundation of my client can provide a better environment for the child to grow up in?”

Facing the sharp question of a lawyer, Xu Jingyi chose to keep silent this time. If she admitted this point, it would mean that she agreed that Zhao Dongcheng was more suitable than her to have this child, and she would completely lose.

“Ms. Xu, please answer my question!” The lawyer said aggressively.

Xu Jingyi held her hands tightly, beads of sweat trickling down her forehead. Under the pressure of the lawyer, she nodded her head, “I know.”

“Judge, I’m done asking my questions.”

The other party’s lawyer returned to the plaintiff’s stand, and then it was Yuyao’s turn to ask Zhao Dongcheng questions.

She walked out of the dock and stood in front of an important courtroom. Her clear eyes swept across the people present, and he unexpectedly discovered that Ji Rufeng was sitting in an inconspicuous position in the spectator’s stand. At the same time, he was also looking at her. His eyes were deep, and it was hard for people to see the emotions within them.

Yuyao calmed herself down and looked back at Zhao Dongcheng, then asked, “Mr. Zhao, may I ask about the reason behind your divorce with my client, Lady Xu?”

Zhao Dongcheng pondered for a moment, and then chose to say something that was more advantageous to him, “She didn’t respect me, and took our child away without thinking.”

Yuyao’s expression did not change, his words were not unexpected. She took out the information of two people and passed it to the presiding judge, “Among these two materials, one is the report on my client, Xu Jingyi, undergoing an abortion, and the other is your marriage agreement. Please look carefully at the time, there’s actually a gap of half a year. Mr. Zhao, you know she took the child, but she didn’t divorce right away. It’s obvious that this isn’t the reason for your divorce. ”

After Yuyao finished speaking, she handed another document over. There were photos and also a certificate from the hospital. The photo was taken using her phone. It wasn’t very clear, but it was enough for him to recognize that the man on top was Zhao Dongcheng. He had accompanied a woman with a big belly to the hospital to inspect. And the report was the woman’s report on the pregnancy test. She had been pregnant for more than seven months.

“The woman in the photo is already pregnant for more than seven months. That is to say, at the time of conception, you and my client, Xu Jingyi, weren’t divorced. This photo was accidentally taken by my client. The real reason she divorced you was because you cheated. ”

Zhao Dongcheng never thought that Lu Yuyao would actually have so much evidence in such a short period of time.

Yuyao was still not in a mood, neither happy nor angry, because the court needed to be serious. Mr. Zhao doesn’t have to deny that I think no one will accompany an unrelated woman to the maternity examination. Of course, if my client misunderstands you, you can also provide evidence to prove that this woman’s child has nothing to do with you. After seven months of amniocentesis, the risk factor wasn’t too high. “
