Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia! - Chapter 780 - 760: There’s still another murderer
Jiayi held her breath and shifted her gaze to the spot Lawyer Yang pointed out—
"If the man violates this agreement, he may take back the custody of the child at any time."
She felt like she had been struck by lightning, gripping the divorce agreement and biting her lower lip hard.
"Since Miss Chu has signed, it means she agrees to everything in the agreement. If violated, we’ll have to follow what’s written here," said Lawyer Yang, pushing up his glasses with an innocent face.
This—
God damn it!
It took her a long time to calm down.
Lawyer Yang took the copy of the divorce agreement and said politely, "I’ve delivered all the messages from the Boss. I wonder if Miss Chu has any other questions."
Her teeth sank into her lip, but she didn’t speak.
"If there’s nothing else, then please Miss Chu, start following the agreement from today. Otherwise... I’ll have to handle it officially," said Lawyer Yang with a helpless glance at Zaizai.
Jiayi frowned deeply, "I just can’t establish a relationship beyond friendship, right?! Mr. Nie and Miss Fang are just my ordinary friends now. They’re staying for a meal, is that okay?"
Lawyer Yang considered for a moment, reluctantly conceding, "Er, let it pass for today. But it won’t work in the future, having a meal is also considered intimate contact, especially at Miss Chu’s place."
He then lifted his wrist to check his watch, "However, it’s best for them not to stay past nine o’clock at Miss Chu’s home."
Jiayi almost cried with frustration again.
Inviting friends over for a meal even requires his permission, and he’s miles away!
Getting a divorce seemed to have put her under even stricter control than when they were married!
But she could only swallow her anger for now, "I understand."
Only then did Lawyer Yang leave, satisfied, with Ade driving them away.
Jiayi turned around and walked over to Zaizai, still somewhat distraught.
Nie Yixiao’s gaze was fixed on her, "Was that the lawyer of the Huo Family? What did he come for, what did he tell you?"
What could Jiayi say? Admit that she was still being monitored by a control freak from afar even after the divorce?
She took a deep breath, "It’s nothing. Let’s go upstairs, Mommy should have the meal ready."
"Really nothing wrong?" Nie Yixiao sensed the indignation on her little face.
Fang Yao nudged Nie Yixiao with her elbow, "Let’s go, let’s eat. Are you afraid Derek will claim a compensation for loss of youth from Jiayi?"
Finally, Jiayi couldn’t help but burst into laughter at Fang Yao’s joke.
The three of them, holding Zaizai, went upstairs.
*
Several days later, it was the official court hearing for the Lijing Apartment murder case.
Jiayi’s defense team consisted of the Huo Family’s legal team and the international lawyers brought by Nie Yixiao.
Before the trial began, both sides joined forces into one team, working together.
Thanks to the new time evidence that was favorable for Jiayi, the suspicion shifted to benefit the defendant. Coupled with the combined defense capabilities of the legal teams, the trial was unsurprisingly won.
With her parents by her side, Jiayi walked out of the courtroom.
The sun shone brightly, the sky was as blue as sapphire, and a gentle breeze caressed her face, lifting her spirits.
The gloom of the past days seemed to be scattered by the wind in an instant.
Nie Yixiao went to retrieve his car from the garage, drove to the courthouse door, and prepared to take Jiayi home.
A few days earlier, Chu Yanhan and his wife had moved to their new marital home they recently purchased, located in another neighborhood within the city.
Now, only Jiayi was living with Zaizai in Green Island Garden.
Seeing Jiayi come out, the man in the car rolled down the window, his thin lips slightly raised in a greeting.
In the bright sunlight, the young man drove an expensive car, with handsome brows and a noble demeanor, appearing like a favored son of heaven, his gaze fixed solely on one person.
Looking at Nie Yixiao, Xia Tingxuan couldn’t help but smile, "Yixiao has been so busy with your case that he has lost weight. Come over to my place for dinner with him today; Mommy will make you soup."
Chu Yanhan also agreed with his wife, "Yes, please invite Yixiao over for dinner."
In fact, Nie Yixiao had gone undercover to investigate the Xuan Yu case and deceived their older daughter Chu Xinyu. Although Chu Yanhan understood that Xinyu brought the trouble on herself, and it was karma for stealing her sister’s boyfriend, he still harbored some dissatisfaction towards Nie Yixiao before.
Over the years, Xuan Yu had gone to prison, and Xinyue had gotten married.
Chu Xinyu, however, had not yet recovered, still harboring feelings for Nie Yixiao. Because of this, she had been ridiculed by the people in the city, and to this day felt too ashamed to leave her house, wandering aimlessly at home every day.
However, these days Chu Yanhan had seen clearly that Nie Yixiao, despite his ruthless attitude towards Xinyu, was truly dedicated to Jiayi.
Their older daughter, Chu Xinyu, had suffered a severe emotional blow and had not recovered.
Their second daughter, Xinyue, had married into the Ya Family, which seemed glorious, but her marriage with Ya Chen over the years had been one of mutual respect but cold distant, so much that it was rumored Ya Chen had long moved out of the bedroom to live alone in another part of the castle...
With both daughters experiencing failed relationships, he could only hope that Jiayi would be happy.
Moreover, since Tingxuan had taken a liking to Nie Yixiao as a son-in-law, he did not want to dismiss his hard-won reconciliation with his wife!
Jiayi saw her daddy and mommy singing in unison and, remembering Lawyer Yang’s reminder, she hurriedly said, "Never mind, Brother Yixiao has been busy with the bodyguard company recently, he’s very busy, let’s not disturb him."
Thinking it over, the two of them agreed, they couldn’t push too hard.
After all, Yixiao had started a business in Yunling and would continue to stay, there would be plenty of opportunities.
Chu Yanhan and Xia Tingxuan went to get their car and head back to their new home.
As Jiayi watched her daddy and mommy’s receding figures and was about to walk towards Nie Yixiao’s car, reporters suddenly swarmed up from nowhere.
Although Jiayi was no longer the Huo Family’s young madam, several newspaper offices still followed the outcome of this case.
The reporters had been waiting outside the court since the trial began.
As Jiayi emerged, the reporters started buzzing:
"Madam Huo... oh, sorry, now I should call you Miss Chu, you won the lawsuit, and finally, your grievances are cleared, what would you like to say?"
"You were clearly innocent, yet Mr. Huo divorced you, do you resent him?"
"Although Mr. Huo divorced you, the lawyer defending you this time is still the most powerful legal team from the Huo Family. Does it mean that Mr. Huo still has lingering feelings for you?"
"Do you and Mr. Huo still have a chance to reconcile?"
...
Jiayi’s expression changed, her calm mood suddenly like spilled ink, she restrained her emotions, "I don’t hate him, there’s nothing to hate; he simply made what he thought was the right choice."
The car door clicked, and a long shadow strode over quickly, pushing through the reporters.
The reporters were dispersed.
Nie Yixiao looked at Jiayi, whose face had instantly turned much paler, "Are you alright?"
Jiayi quickly composed herself, "I’m fine."
Nie Yixiao said softly, "I’ll take you home."
"Okay," Jiayi followed him towards the car.
They hadn’t gone far when the sound of hurried footsteps came from behind.
They turned their heads.
This time it wasn’t reporters.
It was Boris.
As the plaintiff and the deceased’s father, Boris naturally also attended today’s hearing.
