The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 445 - 442 - The Overjoyed Uncouth Man 6_1

As Huang Xiaojue’s father turned and walked away, Auntie quickly hid. Only when her brother-in-law had completely disappeared did she rush into the hospital room.

Upon seeing her younger sister, Huang Mother burst into sobs.

Auntie was at her wits’ end. "Sister, what should we do? The court issued a formal notice today, and the summons has already been delivered! They said Yang Wei will be arrested as soon as he can move. Until then, he can’t go anywhere! Oh my god, what are we going to do?"

The lawyer the Huang Family had initially hired was all bluff, merely posturing to intimidate the other party. Now, things had truly escalated. The case was proceeding strictly according to legal procedures, with conclusive evidence and witnesses, and the court was directly involved.

Auntie continued, "Sister, we were so muddle-headed! How could we not have thought about the surveillance system back then?"

Huang Mother cried for a long moment, then said bitterly, "That woman, Yan Xixi, is a natural-born swindler! I was a fool to forget about that. I’m sure after our first visit to the shop, she made preparations. She must have meticulously recorded our every move later on."

The surveillance had impeccably recorded their every action, leaving no room for dispute. Moreover, Yan Xixi’s side didn’t even need to search. The shop staff had recorded every visit and every item taken. All they had to do was pull up the records for those specific days.

The two older women sat dumbfounded. They had never imagined Yan Xixi would pull such a stunt.

"Good heavens, Sister," Auntie exclaimed, "when your husband saw the recording, why didn’t he destroy it immediately?"

"Are you stupid?" Huang Mother retorted. "That swindler obviously gave a copy to the police already! What’s the point of destroying our copy now? Besides, she’s been scheming all along, keeping that footage for so long. It was clearly a deliberate move against us!"

When she realized this, her face turned pale, and she couldn’t even cry anymore.

Oh God, she’ll definitely show this recording to my son... If Xiaojue sees it, he’ll hate me to death... Oh God, what am I going to do?

Her husband had slapped her just from seeing it. What would her son do?

Recalling the scene that day, she cringed at how disgracefully she had behaved.

Having lived a pampered life as a housewife, she had never faced any major crises. Now that real trouble had arrived, she was utterly at a loss.

Auntie was even more frantic. "Sister, Yang Wei is going to jail! What can we do? Are we supposed to just sit here and wait for the worst?"

"Sigh... I don’t know what to do either," Huang Mother lamented.

"Didn’t you say Xiaojue is coming back soon?" Auntie asked. "When he returns, maybe we can ask him to talk to Yan Xixi? Surely she’d show him some consideration, wouldn’t she?"

Huang Mother scoffed, "Didn’t you hear what your brother-in-law said? Yan Xixi asked for a breakup! They’ve already broken up. Why would she still give Xiaojue any consideration?"

"Heavens, what on earth can we do then?" Auntie despaired.

"Quick, call Lawyer Wang and discuss this with him," Huang Mother urged.

Auntie had just gotten through to Lawyer Wang when he mumbled a few excuses and hung up.

Huang Mother asked urgently, "What did Lawyer Wang say?"

"He said he’s on a business trip in North City and won’t be back for half a month," Auntie reported.

Huang Mother was stunned.

She suddenly burst into tears again. "It’s all your fault, Sister! Why did you let Yang Wei go and demand money repeatedly? Demanding it once, then twice..."

Auntie grumbled, "How... how could I have stopped that boy? You know his temper. He was furious because that bitch had slapped him, and he was determined to retaliate... But Sister, what do we do now?"

"How should I know?" Huang Mother snapped.

Auntie had always relied on her older sister’s support. Whenever trouble arose, she would turn to her older sister and brother-in-law. Later, she pinned all her hopes and aspirations for glory on her nephew, Huang Xiaojue. Yet, this time, she instinctively knew her nephew might not be willing, or able, to help them.
