Chapter 362
“Order! Order!” the judge was still banging the gavel.
But the judge’s words were completely ignored by the irrational crowd in the public gallery. Lin Nan, Tang Xiao, Mu Nianbai, and Mo Zhe all rushed towards Ye Junqing, wanting to beat him up – this despicable bastard who would forsake his friends for a woman!
The two police officers standing next to the defendant’s dock had to physically block them from getting near Ye Junqing.
Seeing this, the judge, exasperated, ordered, “Expel anyone disrupting the court’s order!”
No sooner were these words uttered than a dozen police officers came in and expelled Lin Nan, Tang Xiao, Mu Nianbai, and Mo Zhe from the courtroom. Tang Zhou leaped up, hoping to kick Ye Junqing in the defendant’s dock, only to be carried out by two police officers. The scene was chaotic.
The prosecutor held his forehead repeatedly, waiting for the courtroom to finally quiet down before he had no choice but to repeat his question, “Mr. Ye, please answer the question now. Have you made up your mind to refuse national treasure Xia Yanyan?”
Everyone held their breath, especially Xia Yanyan. She stared at Ye Junqing’s thin and ruthless lips, not daring to look away, her heart clenched in fear.
Ye Junqing didn’t think too long. He scanned the remaining brothers in the public gallery and the elders of Yee’s Family. Suddenly, he stood up, turned towards the public gallery, bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle. This was an apology bow.
No one misunderstood his gesture.
Yi Yujian couldn’t control her voice and burst into tears on the spot.
Wang Zili, holding her daughter, asked her to control herself, but she couldn’t.
Everyone looked at Ye Junqing with disappointed eyes, with the sole exceptions of Han Chengbei and Pan Huaiwen.
Xia Yanyan clutched her handbag tightly, she also couldn’t control herself, “Ye Junqing, are you crazy? What is it about me that you find so deficient that you would rather oppose your entire family and betray all your brothers than marry me?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Junqing’s mouth twitched into a cold sneer, but he didn’t respond to Xia Yanyan’s words. Instead, he answered the prosecutor’s question in a deep and firm voice, “Yes, I refuse Xia Yanyan. I will never marry her in this lifetime.”
A loud thud echoed as Fu Zhuo kicked something in anger and stormed out of the courtroom. He eventually flung the courtroom doors shut, creating another “boom” that reverberated throughout the room.
The impact brought Xia Yanyan’s pride crumbling down.
He was unwilling to marry her; even at this moment, he was still unwilling to marry her! noveldrama
No matter how confident, prideful, or adored Xia Yanyan was, at that moment, she could only feel an unprecedented sense of defeat!
She clenched her fingers, her beautiful manicures snapped one after another, yet she didn’t feel any pain. With only one thought in her head, she realized she had done this to herself. She could almost predict that everything her elder brother had said, would come true!
In this lifetime, she had completely lost the man she had loved for many years!
Not only had she lost him, but from now on, she would be despised by the entire Ye’s family!
Even her cousin, her aunt, and her uncle would never forgive her!
Why…
Why did it end up like this?
Throughout the rest of the proceedings, Xia Yanyan sat there feeling cold. Her mind was in a buzz, she hadn’t took in anything, until the judge finally announced the verdict.
“Now, the judge will read the verdict, all rise.”
“This court finds that the defendant, Ye Junqing’s refusal of the national treasure is clear and the evidence is irrefutable. Therefore, the judgement for the defendant, Ye Junqing, is as follows: Ye Junqing is sentenced to three years imprisonment with lifelong loss of political rights; all members of Ye’s family are deprived of political rights for life…”
