His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 646 - Jin Corporation's Corporate Lawyer

Jiang Ying Yue flinched. The other reporters threw similar questions at her. All their questions were nothing more than a guise to accuseher of using the custody case to fatten up her own pockets.

"What the hell are they asking?!" Clover was aghast and then enraged.

Following Atty. Hong’s gestures, both Jiang Ying Yue and Clover also alighted from the car. The reporters tried getting close but the two bodyguards protected them.

"Stay calm. Don’t say anything and follow behind me. I’ll do all the talking," the lawyer whispered to Jiang Ying Yue.

She nodded.

Clover: "I think someone set you up and deliberately called all these bloodthirsty wolves today to ask you these disgusting questions."

Nobody in their group replied but their expressions showed that they agreed to her words.

They made their way to the courthouse, slowed down by the reporters crowding around them.

Atty. Hong Shaoqiang answered some questions while dodging most. He even threatened to sue a handful of the most aggressive reporters for asking malicious questions.

While they were midway to the courthouse’s main entrance, they heard another car stopping a few metres behind their car. They all turned their heads and saw the rear passenger door open.

Out came Long Hui in a dashing business suit. He looked handsome, but his expression was cold and grim.

Seeing him so well-groomed and polished, Jiang Ying Yue’s heart stirred for a couple of seconds before the pain he caused reminded her of why she should stop loving him. Her heart felt like it was being twisted into pieces again.

’You already killed this love, Ying Yue,’ she inwardly talked to herself.

Long Hui looked up and their eyes met. It was as if time froze at that moment. The people and the noise around the two of them disappeared and became muted. All they could see was one another.

But it only lasted for a moment before they returned to reality.

Long Hui sneered at her, his hatred clear in his expression.

Jiang Ying Yue pressed her lips together and looked away. She felt someone squeezing her hand and looked up to see Clover giving her a smile of encouragement.

The majority of the reporters changed their targets. They left Jiang Ying Yue’s group and surrounded Long Hui next. Only his lawyer and driver accompanied him.

"Mr. Long, how do you feel that your ex-fiancée is withholding your paternal rights to raise your own son because she wanted you to pay an extravagant child support first?"

Similar less aggressive questions were asked of Long Hui. The difference in the reporters’ treatment between him and Jiang Ying Yue became clear.

"What the hell?" Clover was once again enraged. "It’s obvious that they’re bullying you, Sis Ying Yue! I bet it’s that asshole who invited all these reporters himself in order to humiliate you and pressure you. How devious!"

Jiang Ying Yue didn’t reply. She was too busy trying to contain her emotions and hiding them behind an impassive expression.

The group stayed where they were. Moments later, Long Hui, his lawyer and the reporters reached them. The two groups had a face-off, delighting the reporters. Camera shutters clicked nonstop and the questions were thrown from all directions to both parties.

"Where’s my son?" Long Hui asked.

"He’s safe," Jiang Ying Yue replied in a soft but firm tone.

He curled his lip. "He’ll be safer with me. My son is a boy. A boy needs to learn how to be a man from his own father, so I should be the one raising him."

Her impassive expression cracked and revealed a frown. She didn’t reply but it was clear from her face that she disagreed with him.

Long Hui’s lawyer whispered something to him. He gave a last look at Jiang Ying Yue before turning away. He and his lawyer left and reached the courthouse’s main entrance first.

Right at that moment, a third car arrived unnoticed. However, Jiang Ying Yue’s group focused on it, catching the attention of the reporters.

A driver opened the rear passenger door and two figures stepped out of the car.

The first one was a middle-aged man with severe falcon-like features. He was followed by an elderly gentleman who looked amiable at first but his sharp eyes and penetrating gaze revealed his formidable nature. Both men looked intimidating.

"Eh? Why does it seem like the first one who came out of the car look familiar?" a reporter wondered.

"Yeah, I think so, too."

"I’m pretty sure I’ve seen that fellow before...."

Curious about the commotion, Long Hui and his lawyer paused before entering the courthouse. They turned around and looked at the new arrivals.

The falcon-looking middle-aged man and the formidable elderly gentleman began walking side by side.

"Oh wait! I remember now! Isn’t that Kang Huizhong, Jin Corporation’s lawyer?!" exclaimed a reporter.

"Ah! You’re right! It’s Atty. Kang!"

"What’s he doing here?!"

Long Hui’s expression darkened but he didn’t look surprised. Kang Huizhong’s appearance meant that Jiang Ying Yue also had Jin Liwei’s tacit backing in addition to his half-sister Xiulan’s support.

"Kang is Jin Corporation’s corporate lawyer but he also handles the Jin family’s legal matters," his lawyer explained beside him. "Although I know that your son is CEO Jin’s godson, I’m still surprised that he sent his own lawyer today for this custody case."

Long Hui didn’t answer. He agreed to Elder Long Meng’s suggestion to invite the media in order to intimidate Jiang Ying Yue, yet her side countered with Jin Liwei sending his own lawyer to try intimidating him instead.

Memories of his fistfight with Jin Liwei and his half-sister injuring him with a fucking orange flashed in his mind, intensifying his hatred of them. They were the reason why his position as the heir apparent was destabilized, why Lin Yehan became close to Jiang Ying Yue and cheated on him, why he broke up with her and had to fight against her for the custody of their son, and why his life had become so fucked up right now.

It was all their fault!
