âAnother contract release?â Yi Jingxi threw the documents onto the table, âWho is it this time?â
Recently, tons of artists had sequentially requested releases from their contracts. Thus, it was a busy time at the court.
Zeng Zhun looked solemnly at the documents on the table, before saying, âItâs not about a contract release. You should take a look. The court has received an appeal towards Xu Zhengxuanâs case and the first hearing begins at the end of June. These documents are the summons from court.â
Yi Jingxiâs pupils suddenly constricted. He opened the documents quickly and scanned through them, a crestfallen expression over his face.
âBecause you were the relevant witness back then,â Zeng Zhun reminded him.
âI wonât attend. Get me Lawyer Cao right away,â Yi Jingxi said.
Zeng Zhun sighed, âSorry, when I came, I contacted Lawyer Cao and he said he has been very busy recently. Heâs not free to come down.â
Yi Jingxi stood up aggressively and swept the items on his desk onto the floor, âHave I not been generous with him in the past two years? Now weâre still afloat, and heâs already trying to run, bastard.â
Zeng Zhun saw that he was infuriated and did not know whether to sympathize with him or not.
âMr. Yi, if you donât mind me saying, this case was a sensation back then. Even when Nian Junting assembled his team of lawyers, their repeated appeals were rejected time and time again because the court knew that this case would become a sensation amongst the public. However, seeing the court accepted the appeal, I believe Ms. Xu wields a key piece of evidence which may prove that Xu Zhengxuan is innocent.â
Yi Jingxiâs heart dropped.
After a while, he looked shocked and fearful.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Since Yi Jingxi had decided to frame Xu Zhengxuan, he had thought of the possibility that he might be brought to justice eventually, but being optimistic, he had gradually left these thoughts in the deep recesses of his mind.
âTell the court that Iâm busy and wonât be attending,â he said after a while.
âWhat if the court sends a stronger summon letter?â Zeng Zhun asked.
âIf Lawyer Cao is not coming, get Lawyer Jin,â Yi Jingxi said hesitantly.
...
At Xia City
Because Xu Zhengxuanâs case would be reopened in court soon, Luosang left for Sheng Ting immediately after class, taking the subway. As soon as she entered the CEOâs office, Nian Junting saw that she was drenched in perspiration. Her face had been sunburnt, with strands of wet hair plastered to her forehead.
His expression fell. He could not help but chide her, âWhy didnât you tell me earlier that you were coming? I would have sent my chauffeur to pick you up. Look at you, pregnant and all. What if something happened to my little princess?â
Luosang was initially touched, but now she rolled her eyes, âI was the one under the hot sun. You only care about your daughter.â
Nian Junting sighed loudly, âIf you want to be sunburnt, thatâs your choice, no one forced you to. However, my little princess is to be pampered. She would feel uncomfortable in the heat. Youâve not spared a thought for her.â
â...â
âYour daughterâs the only one whoâs precious, Iâm just a strand of weed,â Luosang thought to herself.
Luosang gritted her teeth, âDonât you know the first trimesterâs the period in which you should be the most careful? You should show more consideration for me.â
âYouâre right,â Nian Junting could not help but raise his eyebrows, âLook at how much youâre obsessed over yourself, instead of my darling princess.â
âAll right, I understand. Once our daughter is born, I wonât mean anything to you.â Luo Sang could not help but feel bitter.
âHow old are you to be envious of a baby? Childish,â Nian Junting patted the sofa beside him, âSit and Iâll peel an apple for you.â
