Chapter 37 Court Hearings

Xia Yan sat down on the stool slowly, not knowing what to say.

That proposal, was he serious?

I always thought that Cheng Yi deliberately proposed to him in order to help him get out.

No way! How could he be serious! Today's Cheng Group is already a symbol of money and status, and he and himself have long been people of two worlds.

"What are you thinking?"

"Huh? It's nothing. ”

"Try the steamed sea bass I made."

Cheng Yi sandwiched the fish into Xia Yan's bowl and motioned for her to taste it.

"It's delicious! You're so good at it! ”

"When I was poor, my mother would only make me steamed sea bass once every Chinese New Year."

Xia Yan thought of what Cheng Xu mentioned to herself before, Cheng Yi lived a poor life with her mother before returning to Cheng's house.

"I'm sorry to break your heart."

"Nope. It's not your fault. ”

Xia Yan lowered her head and picked up the meal, this meal made her eat a little embarrassed. Xia Yan looked at Cheng Yi's sullen appearance, and couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Actually, you don't have to be sad, I believe that your mother must be very happy to see you in heaven to be so successful."

Xia Yan smiled bitterly, it's ironic that he, a little man who is in debt, has to comfort him, a super rich second generation!

"What about you? I've never heard you talk about your childhood. ”

"Me, I don't have anything to say."

Xia Yan lowered her head and picked up the food in the bowl, resisting memories in her heart.

"It seems that neither of us had a very good childhood."

"No, your childhood and your mother. My Childhood...... In the past, when the family was perfect, I always felt that everything was taken for granted, and I arrogantly ignored everything, and offended many people with no one in my eyes. Later, the family was depressed, and everyone avoided me. But luckily, I still have a friend. ”

Cheng Yi drank all the wine in the wine glass, the friend she said should be the person in her heart that Xia Zicheng said.

"This friend of yours is very important to you."

"Him? He is a very gentle person. If I have the chance, I would love to see him again. After all, he helped me a lot. ”

"If you don't mind, maybe I can help you find him."

"No need."

Cheng Yi poured the wine from the wine glass into his mouth again. Cheng Yi didn't understand why Xia Yan was so resistant to herself, and their relationship was locked in the boundary of ordinary friends.

After three rounds of drinking, Cheng Yi put down the wine glass, and just lay on the table and looked at Xia Yan on the side.

"Xia Yan, I think you should try it with me."

Xia Yan turned her head and said lightly:

"You've drunk too much."

"I haven't drunk much, I've liked you for a long time, why don't you look at me more?"

"You're drunk."

Xia Yan cleaned up all kinds of dinner tables, but was grabbed by Cheng Yi's wrist.

Cheng Yi took a fixed look, the bracelet in her hand was gone, and Cheng Yi was overjoyed.

Xia Yan shook off his hand and continued to work on his hands.

Cheng Yi sat quietly on the chair and looked at Xia Yan who was busy in the kitchen, and the warmth of his childhood came spontaneously.

After finishing her work, Xia Yan picked up the phone and dialed Assistant Zhou.

"To whom?"

"Assistant Zhou, you are drinking, you can't drive."

"Don't fight."

Cheng Yi staggered over, and during the struggle, the two fell on the sofa together.

On the other end of the phone, Assistant Zhou called "Hey, Hey, Hey" a few times, but when he saw that no one answered, he hung up the phone.

There was a strong smell of alcohol in the air, which quickly heated up the ambiguous breath.

Xia Yan's head was chaotic, and the only trace of sobriety was completely disintegrated the moment Cheng Yi's kiss fell.

Just when the two were confused, Cheng Yi's mobile phone ringtone dragged Xia Yan back to reality, she got up from the sofa in a panic and awkwardly straightened out her messy clothes.

"Damn it!"

Cheng Yi cursed in a low voice, and glanced at his mobile phone, which was a call from Assistant Zhou.

Hang up, shut down, and you're done.

Cheng Yi picked up Xia Yan horizontally and entered the bedroom, wanting to continue but was rejected by Xia Yan.

"If you don't want to go back, I'll give you a bunk."

"I'll do it myself!"

Cheng Yi went to the kitchen to drink a glass of ice water and got into the quilt on the floor.

Xia Yan looked at the ceiling and said frankly:

"Cheng Yi, you have a fiancée, I ......"

"Do you mind that?"

"It's not ...... either"

Xia Yan was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to express it.

"I still have a lot of things to do, a lot of things to figure out."

"I can help you out."

"But I want to figure it out myself."

The two fell silent for a while, and when they woke up again, it was morning.

The floor was cleaned up, and Cheng Yi had already left. But the sumptuous breakfast on the table made Xia Yan's heart warm.

After He Liuli received the news last night, she didn't sleep well all night, and came to Cheng Yi's company early in the morning to wait.

Cheng Yi really came to the company on time, He Liuli happily followed behind Cheng Yi, but Cheng Yi didn't look at her the whole time.

After Assistant Zhou left, Cheng Yi went straight to the point and mentioned the dissolution of the marriage contract with her.

"Yi, you can give me a reason, I always have to know what I did wrong."

"You know, I didn't want to get engaged to you in the first place, after all, you are just the fiancée that the Cheng Group chose for me."

"Is it because of Xia Yan?"

"Even without her, I wouldn't have married you."

He Liuli turned his back and agreed to Cheng Yi, but showed a sinister and resolute smile.

After making sure that He Liuli was leaving, Assistant Zhou brought a USB flash drive, which clearly recorded Gu Mengmeng's flipping over Xia Yan's manuscript and computer, and took pictures of the manuscript.

"Mr. Yi, since you have installed surveillance in Miss Xia's office, why don't you tell her in advance?"

Cheng Yi coughed twice in embarrassment,

I thought to myself, if she knew that I secretly installed surveillance in her office to spy on her, I must not be angry with me, and I can't even coax her for a month. In addition, his relationship with her has just improved, and he doesn't want to cause their relationship to be stiff again because of this.

"Ahem, cough, that, the court will be held in a few days, bring this to the lawyer, and tell it, don't show it until you have to."

"Got it, Mr. Yi."

For the sake of her work, Xia Yan hopes that other people besides Xia Zicheng can also testify for her, but most people are only willing to remain neutral.

Soon, the news of their collection of evidence reached Jiang Yun's ears.

"The people of the Xia family, there is really no good thing!"

Jiang Yun, who was weak-hearted, paced back and forth in the office, and in desperation, he dialed He Liuli's phone, and the two met in a private club.

He Liuli turned her head in disgust when she saw Jiang Yun's panicked look.

"What's wrong?"

"That little bastard Xia Zicheng handed over the manuscript photo you gave me to Xia Yan, doesn't this indirectly prove that I am plagiarizing!"

He Liuli was speechless, Jiang Yun took the original photo of Xia Yan's design manuscript, and just gave it directly to the company's employees to let them improve the design work, which is a big loophole.

"Panic what! So who is Xia Zicheng? Xia Yan's own cousin, it can be said that you stole Xia Yan's manuscript, and on the contrary, it can also be said that Xia Yan stole your manuscript. ”

"But if the court rules me ...... lose"

"No in case! If I'm not mistaken, Xia Zicheng's father Xia An is a good one, and he wants to find a way to get Xia An to come forward and suppress Xia Zicheng. Without Xia Zicheng's testimony, Xia Yan was even more powerless. ”

"Makes sense!"

"Since you're here, I have one more thing to tell you, I'm pregnant."

"What!"

Jiang Yun was flustered and at a loss.

"What are you panicking about, I'm just telling you that from today onwards this child has nothing to do with you, this is my child with Cheng Yi."

"He hasn't touched you, how can you put this kid on his head?"

"I have my own way."

Jiang Yun looked at He Liuli with some embarrassment, because of her majesty, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"Liuli, in fact, we can let go of all this......"

"Let it all go? Jiang Yun, what can you give me? Money, status or love? You can't give me anything, and you want me to give up everything I have now? ”

"Glass ......"

"Needless to say, when this matter is completely resolved, no matter what the outcome is. If you win the lawsuit, we'll all be happy. If you lose the lawsuit, Jiang Yun, you have to think about how you should speak. Otherwise, you and I still have children, and we won't be able to go on in the future. ”

Jiang Yun understood He Liuli's meaning very well, in case of the East Window incident, he had to resist everything himself, otherwise He Liuli and the child, he would not be able to save any of them.

"I see."

He Liuli left the private club with high heels, turned around and went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup.

After she got the list, she got on the plane to the beach and went to Cheng Xu's birthday banquet instead of Cheng Yi.

She knew that Cheng Xu's mother also booked the business class of the plane, pretending to meet by chance and chatting with Cheng Xu's mother, but under the pretext of going to the bathroom, she secretly put the pregnancy test form on her seat and deliberately let Cheng Xu's mother find out.

When He Liuli came back, Cheng Xu's mother was really excited with the pregnancy test form.

He Liuli pretended to be flustered, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab the pregnancy test form.

"Miss He, you, do you have it?"

He Liuli pretended to be shy, and nodded again and again.

"Oh my god, that's great."

"Aunt, Cheng Yi doesn't know yet, don't tell him."

"Okay, well, aunt don't say, don't say! Tell me, Cheng Yi, this kid is too happy, you just got engaged not long ago! I'm so envious! ”

No one in the Cheng Group knew that Cheng Xu's mother was a big mouth, He Liuli only said don't let Cheng Yi know, at Cheng Xu's birthday party, all the people related to the Cheng Group were afraid that they knew the news, and decided to help He Liuli keep it secret.

After Xia An learned that Xia Zicheng offended Jiang Yun in order to help Xia Yan, Xia Zicheng and Xia An quarreled, Xia An forcibly placed Xia Zicheng under house arrest at home.

On the day of the trial, Xia Yan couldn't contact Xia Zicheng, and the whole person wandered anxiously at the door of the court.

"Miss Xia, don't worry, Mr. Xia didn't come, we are still certain to win the lawsuit."

Xia Yan had no idea of the existence of the surveillance video, and in her eyes, Xia Zicheng was her only hope of winning the lawsuit.

"Lawyer, if he doesn't come, won't the evidence given to me be useless?"

"Miss Xia, don't worry, we still have other evidence here."

"Other evidence?"
