646 Jin Corporations Corporate Lawyer (1/2)
Jiang Ying Yue flinched. The other reporters threw similar questions at her. All their questions were nothing more than a guise to accuse her of using the custody case to fatten up her own pockets.
”What the hell are they asking?!” Clover was aghast and then enraged.
Following Atty. Hong's gestures, both Jiang Ying Yue and Clover also alighted from the car. The reporters tried getting close but the two bodyguards protected them.
”Stay calm. Don't say anything and follow behind me. I'll do all the talking,” the lawyer whispered to Jiang Ying Yue.
She nodded.
Clover: ”I think someone set you up and deliberately called all these bloodthirsty wolves today to ask you these disgusting questions.”
Nobody in their group replied but their expressions showed that they agreed to her words.
They made their way to the courthouse, slowed down by the reporters crowding around them.
Atty. Hong Shaoqiang answered some questions while dodging most. He even threatened to sue a handful of the most aggressive reporters for asking malicious questions.
While they were midway to the courthouse's main entrance, they heard another car stopping a few metres behind their car. They all turned their heads and saw the rear passenger door open.
Out came Long Hui in a dashing business suit. He looked handsome, but his expression was cold and grim.
Seeing him so well-groomed and polished, Jiang Ying Yue's heart stirred for a couple of seconds before the pain he caused reminded her of why she should stop loving him. Her heart felt like it was being twisted into pieces again.
'You already killed this love, Ying Yue,' she inwardly talked to herself.
Long Hui looked up and their eyes met. It was as if time froze at that moment. The people and the noise around the two of them disappeared and became muted. All they could see was one another.
But it only lasted for a moment before they returned to reality.
Long Hui sneered at her, his hatred clear in his expression.
Jiang Ying Yue pressed her lips together and looked away. She felt someone squeezing her hand and looked up to see Clover giving her a smile of encouragement.
The majority of the reporters changed their targets. They left Jiang Ying Yue's group and surrounded Long Hui next. Only his lawyer and driver accompanied him.
”Mr. Long, how do you feel that your ex-fiancée is withholding your paternal rights to raise your own son because she wanted you to pay an extravagant child support first?”
Similar less aggressive questions were asked of Long Hui. The difference in the reporters' treatment between him and Jiang Ying Yue became clear.
”What the hell?” Clover was once again enraged. ”It's obvious that they're bullying you, Sis Ying Yue! I bet it's that asshole who invited all these reporters himself in order to humiliate you and pressure you. How devious!”
Jiang Ying Yue didn't reply. She was too busy trying to contain her emotions and hiding them behind an impassive expression.
The group stayed where they were. Moments later, Long Hui, his lawyer and the reporters reached them. The two groups had a face-off, delighting the reporters. Camera shutters clicked nonstop and the questions were thrown from all directions to both parties.
