Seeing that Bo Jingcheng was still the same as before, he would never say anything to his cronies when they mocked him, letting them hurl insults at her.
Sometimes, they would say something too outrageous, and that's when he would speak up to stop them.
Jiang Xinyue is now even wondering what she saw in him back then.
It's probably because of his handsome face! Or perhaps, because he's the male protagonist of this world, and the object of her affections.
After being with him for a long time, she gradually lost herself and became unlike herself, devoting herself entirely to him and their child.
After today, she will no longer be the Jiang Xinyue she once was. She will leave this world and return to her original self.
"Mr. Bo, please keep your dog under control and don't let it run wild and bite people." Jiang Xinyue gave Bo Jingcheng a cold look.
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Xinyue stopped looking at them and walked straight into the courthouse.
Bo Jingcheng watched Jiang Xinyue's resolute back, his heart tightening. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but couldn't utter a single word.
She used to look at me with eyes full of love and dependence, but now, all that remains in her eyes is unfamiliarity and estrangement.
"Jingcheng, why has this woman suddenly become so impulsive?" One of Bo Jingcheng's cronies nudged him, a hint of disdain on his face.
Bo Jingcheng irritably slapped his hand away, ignored him, and tried to chase him into the courthouse.
Inside the courthouse, Jiang Xinyue took a deep breath and found her seat.
She knew that today's lawsuit would be the key for her to break free from the past.
She looked at the evidence she had collected, records of Bo Jingcheng's infidelity, and all the expenses he had given to Shen Siyao.
A moment later, Bo Jingcheng's lawyer walked in and gave Jiang Xinyue a sharp look.
Jiang Xinyue looked back without fear, thinking to herself that no matter what methods the other party used, she would not back down again.
In court, the lawyers for both sides engaged in a fierce back-and-forth battle.
Bo Jingcheng tried to salvage the marriage with various excuses, while Jiang Xinyue's lawyer, who was also her best friend Qin Ruolin, argued based on the evidence provided by Jiang Xinyue, emphasizing the emotional harm Jiang Xinyue suffered in the marriage and her right to pursue independence and freedom.
"Your Honor, the husband committed adultery first, so we have grounds to file for divorce and dissolve our marriage. Furthermore, Mr. Bo is the party at fault and should reasonably pay Ms. Jiang Xinyue compensation for emotional distress, as well as for her labor costs as a full-time housewife for the past five years..."
In court, Qin Ruolin's resounding words echoed in every corner, and Bo Jingcheng's expression grew increasingly grim.
He never expected that Jiang Xinyue would collect so much evidence against him.
His ambiguous relationships and financial transactions with Shen Siyao have now become boulders pushing him to the edge of a cliff.
Bo Jingcheng's lawyer quickly stood up, trying to salvage the situation: "Your Honor, these so-called pieces of evidence are questionable. You cannot judge my client's infidelity based solely on a few bank transfer records and blurry photos. Moreover, marital relationships are complex, and the responsibility cannot be simply attributed to one party."
Qin Ruolin sneered and calmly produced a new piece of evidence: "This is a recording of a phone call between Mr. Bo and Shen Siyao, the content of which clearly shows their improper relationship. As for the doubts, we have detailed explanations and supplementary materials, which are sufficient to prove its authenticity."
Hearing his own voice in the recording, Bo Jingcheng unconsciously clenched his fists, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He turned to look at Jiang Xinyue, hoping to find a trace of softening on her face, but Jiang Xinyue didn't even give him a glance, her gaze fixed firmly ahead.
Just then, a commotion erupted outside the courtroom. Ignoring all attempts to stop her, Shen Siyao burst in, her eyes blazing with madness. Pointing at Jiang Xinyue, she shouted, "How dare you make such a scene? Jingcheng loves me! You're just a crazy woman who won't let go!"
Bo Jingcheng was both shocked and furious, and roared, "Siyao, are you crazy? Get out of here right now!"
But Chen Siyao wouldn't listen and continued to cause a scene in court.
"Hahaha... Bo Jingcheng, if you won't let me have a good time, you two can forget about getting back together. Those photos and videos are real; Bo Jingcheng cheated on me..."
Bo Jingcheng's face instantly turned ugly. "Judge, quickly, take this crazy woman away."
The judge sternly struck the gavel, ordering the bailiffs to take Chen Siyao away.
Chen Siyao's unwilling voice rang out, "I won't leave, let me go!"
"Your Honor, as you have seen, the mistress, Shen Siyao, has personally admitted that she and Mr. Bo Jingcheng have an improper relationship."
After a brief recess, the judge returned to the bench.
"Mom, do you really not want me anymore?"
At this moment, Bo Xuan broke free from Bo Jingcheng's hand and ran crying to Jiang Xinyue.
"Mom, I don't want you to divorce Dad, I don't want to..."
Jiang Xinyue looked at Bo Xuan in front of her, took a deep breath, and her mind was filled with her son's actions. When he and Bo Jingcheng were protecting Shen Siyao, did he ever think that this day would come?
“Bo Xuan, my bond with you as mother and son is severed. From the moment you chose your father, I had already decided to give up custody of you. From now on, you and your father can live a good life together! Just pretend that you... never had me as your mother.”
After saying that, Jiang Xinyue turned her face away, not wanting to see Bo Xuan crying and shouting in front of her anymore. She told herself that she absolutely could not be soft-hearted at the most critical moment.
She wants a divorce; she wants her freedom.
Upon hearing Jiang Xinyue's words, Bo Xuan's crying stopped abruptly. His face was filled with disbelief, and his small body swayed as if all his strength had been drained away.
