My heart was pounding, but seeing that he covered it up by going along with my words, my heart slowly calmed down.

"Alright, I appreciate your kind words."

After hanging up the phone, I walked out of the hospital, my hand still unconsciously resting on my chest.

Oh my god, this is terrible.

This damned ambiguity and tug-of-war is making me both happy and sad.

In the afternoon, my lawyer and I arrived at the court on time.

My family and friends all came too.

The lawyer said it was the first time he had ever seen a divorce case handled with such fanfare and fanfare.

Ha, I never expected that the happy married life I was looking forward to would end in such an absurd and ridiculous way.

Lu Xun once said that tragedy destroys what is valuable in life for people to see, while comedy tears apart what is worthless for people to see.

My tragic life story is probably a comedy to these onlookers. As for whether it has any value, that's a matter of opinion.

I've been through everything these days, so I don't care about making a fool of myself or losing face.

I'm willing to risk everything to achieve my goal.

But plans can't keep up with changes.

Gu Yanqing appeared at the court as scheduled, but his first request upon arrival was to request a closed trial.

In other words, these relatives and friends are no longer allowed to attend the hearing.

I was unhappy, but my lawyer told me that it was the defendant's legal right and the judge would grant it.

As expected, the judge granted his application, and his family and friends were barred from entering.

Those wealthy socialites had already come all this way, but they couldn't go in, and they were all very resentful.

I quickly reassured them: "Ladies and aunties, since you can't come in, please leave. My previous promise still stands, and you are all lifelong VIPs of my brands."

As soon as I made that statement, they immediately fell silent and then raised their arms in a cheer: "Miss Jiang, we support you outside the court! Mr. Gu is not good enough for you, you will definitely win the case!"

"Yes, I'll definitely get rid of that jerk!"

I was overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly.

But Gu Yanqing, standing to the side, had a face that was a mixture of pale and ashen, looking indescribably ugly.

"Jiang Wan, have you no shame? This is a divorce case, do you think it's something that everyone will be happy about?" he couldn't help but mock.

I turned to look at him and scoffed, "What does shame matter as long as I can divorce you? Besides, divorce is a happy occasion for me! What's wrong with celebrating it?"

"..." Gu Yanqing gritted his teeth in anger.

The court session has begun, and both sides' lawyers and clients have entered the courtroom one after another.

Behind me, my family and friends were still cheering, "Go, Miss Jiang!"

This scene is truly somewhat socially unsettling.

After everyone was seated and the court clerk completed the formalities, the presiding judge announced the start of the trial.
