Zhou Ziyi's trial the day before was relatively simple and short. Some media interviewed him at the entrance of the court, and the discussion online was all about his appearance.
Yan Meiyue probably paid close attention to this matter, because when she came the next day, she was quite... showy.
First of all, she also came in a supercar, followed by two luxury cars, which should be one more than Zhou Ziyi. However, Yan Xiuji and Zhou Ziyi said that Yan Meiyue actually didn't have a car, so these three cars should have been borrowed by her.
Secondly, Yan Meiyue herself was dressed very formally. She wore a red dress, gorgeous makeup, a well-dressed hairstyle, and even a shiny handbag. Those who knew her knew that she was attending the court session, while those who didn't probably thought she was walking the red carpet.
Finally, Yan Meiyue also brought bodyguards, who surrounded her in suits and ties, as if she would be hit by the crowd. The only regret was that Yan Meiyue's lawyer was relatively old, and after wearing formal clothes, he looked just normal, not the elite style that Yan Meiyue wanted. So when entering the court, Yan Meiyue did not approach her lawyer.
All of this seemed quite grand, even star-studded. But the bad thing was that it was drizzling today, and Yan Meiyue didn't want to hold an umbrella, but she couldn't walk fast, so she was a little embarrassed when she arrived at the court entrance.
Fortunately, the rain was short and only wet my hair and clothes a little, which was OK for the camera. If it had rained heavily and my makeup had come off, it would have been even more fun.
Of course, this scene of Yan Meiyue's arrival was also photographed and posted online.
Netizens were all sighing, "As expected of a wealthy family, they work so hard even in court." Some also praised Yan Meiyue's looks. But Zhou Ziyi's old customer arrived quickly and enlightened the crowd from another perspective: [No, she will be standing in the dock later. In criminal cases, she is the center position. Why is she dressed like this? Is there something wrong? ? ? ]
Think about it, everyone, they also shouted: [Maybe, it’s because I want to stand in the center position? ]
[Hahahaha, the center position in the god damn court! And with a standing microphone, debut is confirmed! ]
[Honestly, is it necessary to go to court on a rainy day so hard... Is your skirt stained with mud? 】
[Seeing how grand she is, I am looking forward to the appearance of the president's wife today! ]
[Expectation +1! Today we are going to face off, so we must be more impressive! ]
As everyone expected, Zhou Ziyi finally arrived.
To be precise, it was his motorcade that arrived. There were still two cars, but they were both sedans, which seemed to be more low-key than the day before and Yan Meiyue. The sedan at the back was still carrying the lawyer and bodyguard. After the bodyguard got out of the car, he came over and held up a black umbrella for the car in front, and the door of the car in front was opened.
The first one to come down had long legs, a black three-piece suit, his hair combed back, and a sharp look.
The media squatting outside the courthouse were immediately in an uproar: "It's Yan Xiuji!!!"
"He actually came here in person?!"
The supercars, the makeup and hair, the pomp, at this moment, are not as exciting as the commotion caused by Yan Xiuzhi's appearance here.
What does it mean that the head of Huahao is here? It means that he supports Zhou Ziyi and also represents his confidence in winning!
Some people even interpreted this as an open confrontation between Yan Xiuzhi and his biological father Yan Wenwu.
But no matter how others interpreted it, Yan Xiuji appeared at the door of the court. He also took the umbrella from the bodyguard and let Zhou Ziyi, who got off the car later, enter the same umbrella.
Zhou Ziyi saw that the boss was holding the umbrella himself, so he stretched out his hand to take it. Yan Xiuji dodged for a moment: "I'm taller than you."
Zhou Ziyi: “…” If you don’t want to give it to me, then don’t give it to me. Is it necessary to make personal attacks?
The couple walked to the court together. Some media wanted to rush up to interview Yan Xiuji, but were stopped by the bodyguards. The media was unwilling to give in and asked loudly: "Mr. Yan, will you prevent your sister from having equal inheritance rights?!"
This question is really bold.
Everyone stared at Yan Xiuji's reaction, but Yan Xiuji pretended not to hear and walked straight in. Zhou Ziyi glanced at the speaker, his face expressionless, and there seemed to be a sharp light in his eyes.
But the young man said nothing in the end and went into the court with Yan Xiuzhi.
This video was uploaded to the Internet, and later someone added music and delay effects to it, making it almost like a movie scene.
Comments said: [The gang leader and his husband, the boss of another gang, came to attend the funeral. ]
[I wonder if the defendant felt like he was being buried? ]
[The president's wife looked at the camera! Ah! I'm dead!!!]
[Mrs. President: How dare you imply my husband? ? ? ]
Some people even wrote fan fiction about the black bang setting, which was seen by Zhou Ziyi, who quietly collected it. But that’s another story.
In short, this day's trial took more time than the day before.
Yan Meiyue stood in a row with the four people who had started the fight. The scene was as weird as it could be. She also had to answer the judge's questions, describing in detail how she saw Zhou Ziyi in the bar, how she arranged for someone to beat him up, and how she divided the money. She had said this process many times, so her voice was smooth. But the calmer her tone, the more netizens couldn't help but complain.
Plagiarism + slander + assault, this illegitimate daughter of a wealthy family has not been spared. In addition, a bunch of revelations have emerged on her university's confession wall, and Yan Meiyue is expected to be "socially dead" at school.
Of course, it is estimated that she will not return to that school after she is released from prison. The most likely possibility is that she will be sent to study abroad. However, since she has a criminal record, it is hard to say how much effort and money it will take to send her abroad. Anyway, Yan Xiuji will not care.
Yan Wenwu always said that he started from scratch and didn't rely much on the Chu family. Then let's see what kind of school Yan Meiyue can be sent to based on the connections he has accumulated over the years.
…
The trial ended and no verdict was announced that day, so it was over.
At this moment, more media gathered outside the court. They heard that Yan Xiuji was present in person, and they all wanted to know what the head of Huahao was thinking now. As soon as Yan Xiuji showed up, these people rushed up, flashing their cameras continuously: "Mr. Yan, has the division of property between Mr. Yan Wenwu and Ms. Chu Ling been completed?"
"May I ask if Mr. Yan Wenwu will withdraw from Huahao's board of directors in the future?"
"Will you ask Mr. Yan Wenwu to confirm the proportion of your inheritance and Yan Meiyue's now?"
"May I ask whether Huahao will reorganize the leadership team after Mr. Yan and Ms. Chu divorce..."
Even though the bodyguards cleared the way, there were still some bold media who squeezed in from time to time, almost grabbing Zhou Ziyi's right hand. Yan Xiuji tilted his head and raised his hand to hold Zhou Ziyi's shoulders, pulling him up and moving from his left to his right.
Zhou Ziyi was stunned: "Brother?"
"Be careful." Yan Xiuji warned, "Don't get hit."
Zhou Ziyi's right hand had only had the splint removed, and it had not fully healed yet. Originally, Yan Xiuji was afraid that if they walked side by side, he would bump into the young man's right hand, so he walked on the left side of the young man. But now it was more likely that someone would bump into Zhou Ziyi's right side, so Yan Xiuji simply switched places with him.
Zhou Ziyi smiled.
When the media saw Yan Xiuji's action, someone immediately asked, "Mr. Zhou, is it true that you are in debt of 50 million now?"
"Excuse me, Mr. Yan, do you have any plans to help Mr. Zhou pay off his debts?"
"May I ask when Mr. Zhou plans to pay off your debts..."
A female voice suddenly interrupted the continuous media questions: "Of course, Yan Xiuji has to pay off his debts. Otherwise, how can he pay off his debts when he has no job?"
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw Yan Meiyue who was also walking out of the court.
She came out a little later, so the media surrounding Yan Xiuji and Zhou Ziyi didn't see her. In fact, it would have been better for her to just leave. But when she came out, she saw Zhou Ziyi being treated like a star, and she couldn't swallow it.
Her words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The media fell silent instantly, their cameras moving back and forth between the two sides, waiting for Zhou Ziyi and Yan Xiuzhi's response.
But Zhou Ziyi didn't speak immediately, just looked at Yan Meiyue. The main reason was that Yan Meiyue actually took the initiative to attract fire, Zhou Ziyi thought her brain circuit was amazing.
Yan Meiyue felt that Zhou Ziyi was mocking her, and said coldly: "What are you looking at? Was I wrong? Do you have a proper job? Aren't you in debt? Do you want to sue for defamation again?"
"Yan Meiyue." Zhou Ziyi looked at her and said calmly, "Calm down."
Yan Meiyue frowned: "What?"
Zhou Ziyi chuckled, and his eyes narrowed slightly behind his gold-rimmed glasses: "I have more information than you see now."
Yan Meiyue: “?!”
She wanted to ask more questions, but Zhou Ziyi and Yan Xiuji had already walked downstairs, and the media followed them. However, Yan Xiuji and Zhou Ziyi still did not respond to everyone's concerns, but just said "I believe in the notarization of the law" and got into the car.
The media then turned around and surrounded Yan Meiyue: "Ms. Yan, what did Zhou Ziyi mean by that just now? Does he still have something on you?"
"He has nothing to hold against me!" Yan Meiyue didn't know what was going on, but she had to keep it together. "He's a poor fellow, and he even had to take tens of thousands of dollars of damages from me! Without the Yan family, he's nothing!"
After Yan Meiyue finished speaking, she felt a little regretful and hurriedly got into the car under the escort of bodyguards.
***
By the time we had dinner that night, the “feuds among wealthy families” fabricated by various online media and marketing accounts had turned into a situation where a hundred flowers blossomed and rumors were everywhere.
"Zhou Ziyi, concentrate on eating and stop playing with your phone." Yan Xiuji knocked on the table with his backhand, "Also, if your right hand is shaking, don't use chopsticks. It's not shameful to use a spoon with your left hand."
"Hey, I'm just doing some rehabilitation." Zhou Ziyi put down his phone and smiled at the man across the table. "Brother, you don't know how exciting the gossip on the Internet is. They say that I make things difficult for Yan Meiyue every day in the Yan family, and that there's a big fight between the sister-in-law and the younger sister-in-law..."
Yan Xiuji glanced at him and said, "You know it's fake, so why are you still looking at it?"
"It's just for fun." Zhou Ziyi said, "Some articles make up our love story, which is even more exaggerated than the ones I wrote at the beginning! It's almost like Mary Sue's novel..."
Yan Xiuji: “I don’t believe it.”
Zhou Ziyi: "...Ah? What don't you believe?"
"I don't believe that others can make up a story more exaggerated than yours." Yan Xiuji said, "Did they make up a story about you hitting my car?"
"That's not the case..." Zhou Ziyi paused, then suddenly said in surprise, "Brother, this is the setting I sent to Li Fei at the beginning! Did you really read it?!"
"What do you think?" Yan Xiuji raised his eyebrows. "Why else would I agree to meet you? If I don't go, Li Fei will forward all the bloody stories you sent her to me!"
"Pfft, hahaha!" Zhou Ziyi said happily, "Then my time making up the story was not wasted. At least you can see it!"
Such compliments could be paid to Yan Xiuzhi, and Mr. Yan was convinced.
He changed the subject and asked, "You told Yan Meiyue today that you have more information. What is it?"
"Hmm? No, I lied to her." Zhou Ziyi said, "If you have to say it, it's the recording of her looking for me on behalf of Yan Wenwu and asking me to leave you. Didn't you hear it?"
"real?"
"Really? I've given you everything I could give you. I have nothing left."
Yan Xiuji looked at him and felt that his expression was not fake, so he gave up and just reminded him: "You should read less W blog recently. There are many people gossiping about you online. Don't keep reading those messy things."
"Why, are you afraid that I can't handle it?" Zhou Ziyi smiled and said, "I told you, I'm ready, I'm not afraid."
"If they dig deeper into your background, you won't be afraid?" Yan Xiuji said, "I will ask people to reduce the heat in this regard, but you'd better watch less..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhou Ziyi's cell phone suddenly rang.
Zhou Ziyi glanced at it, then looked at Yan Xiuji, who said, "Take it."
Surprisingly, Zhou Ziyi actually answered the call on the spot, and said without hesitation: "Mr. Chen? Long time no see...right...hmm?"
Yan Xiu Ji had not intended to listen carefully, but Zhou Ziyi's sudden surprised and puzzled "Huh?" made Yan Xiu Ji involuntarily divert his attention and listen.
"Not in a hurry to pay you back? What do you mean?"
