After hearing what he said, Xu Siyan also raised the corners of his mouth in a self-deprecating manner, not knowing what he thought of.
After almost a minute, he said: "It's really impossible, everyone likes you."
Zhou Li: "..."
He had never heard Xu Siyan speak in such a tone, it sounded like he was jealous.
Zhou Li looked confused.
Xu Siyan: "Do you remember that when I was studying, people always said that I am very similar to you. I felt the same way before."
"Now that I think about it, it doesn't look like it." He paused before coming to this conclusion.
Zhou Li didn't know what Xu Siyan was thinking. He even suspected that Xu Siyan was confused by the divorce.
After staring at Xu Siyan silently for a while, Zhou Li asked him: "You don't want to divorce Ruan Yi?"
Xu Siyan: "I didn't have the final say in this marriage from the beginning. After she planned it, I still want to escape unscathed. What does she think of me?"
Zhou Li: "You have fallen in love with her."
He directly used affirmative sentences without asking any questions.
Xu Siyan's denial was equally firm: "I won't like this kind of woman."
Zhou Li: "Oh."
Xu Siyan: "..."
He originally thought that Zhou Li would refute him, or not believe what he said.
Xu Siyan had even thought of the words to argue with him, but he didn't expect Zhou Li to block his way with just one word.
Zhou Li: "She didn't have a choice back then."
Zhou Li said something similar once before, and Xu Siyan didn't respond that time, but this time...
Xu Siyan pondered for a few seconds, "Can I ask a question?"
Zhou Li: "What."
Xu Siyan: "The wealthy family in Beicheng has a lot of money, why did you choose Ruan Yi to give it to me?"
In fact, he wanted to add another sentence: Did you know that she liked you and would never refuse your request, so that's why you did this?
But after thinking about it, I still didn’t ask.
Zhou Li: "She is the most suitable."
Xu Siyan: "Oh, really, I think Jiang Mingzhu is more suitable for me."
After he said these words lightly, murderous intent flashed through Zhou Li's eyes.
"Damn, what are you two doing?" As soon as Yuanye came over, he saw the scene of Xu Siyan and Zhou Li at war with each other. He quickly came up and stood in the middle, "It's a great day, don't fight. If you have anything to say, you can't talk it over."
Zhou Li warned Xu Siyan: "I don't want to hear what I just said a second time."
Xu Siyan: "You haven't said the reason yet."
Zhou Li: "Your grandfather likes her, she needs cooperation, that's all."
After leaving these words, Zhou Li turned around and left.
Xu Siyan clenched his fists. It seemed that Zhou Li didn't know that Ruan Yi liked him.
Yuanye looked at Zhou Li's back and then at Xu Siyan. He was still confused, "What were you talking about with Fourth Brother?"
Xu Siyan: "Ruan Yi."
Yuanye choked, "You didn't tell him..."
"I'm not that boring." Xu Siyan interrupted Yuanye, "You should stop talking."
Yuan Ye: "Of course I won't tell. Zhuzhu has just given birth and her mood is still unstable. It would be terrible if she finds out that she is in a bad mood."
Xu Siyan glanced in the direction of the second floor, which happened to be Jiang Mingzhu's room.
Yuanye: "Just calm down."
Xu Siyan said nothing.
Yuanye: "You can't hang yourself from a tree in this life, not to mention that the tree belongs to someone else."
Xu Siyan: "Don't make excuses for your own changes."
Yuanye: "It is better to be able to change your mind appropriately than to be miserable and resentful every day."
He patted Xu Siyan on the shoulder, "Look how happy I am with Xiaoyu now. If you had fallen in love with Ruan Yi in the past few years, you two would also be so happy. It's a pity that you two are going to get divorced..."
"By the way, how are you preparing for the lawsuit?" Yuanye asked.
Xu Siyan: "Not very good."
Lin Chengdu has told him that he has little chance of winning this lawsuit, so he should be mentally prepared in advance.
Yuanye didn't understand: "Since there is no chance of winning, why are you wasting this time? It is better to sign the agreement and go through the procedures as soon as possible."
Xu Siyan: "I don't want her to have an easy time."
Yuanye: "..."
——
The full moon banquet is over and the court date has officially arrived.
It happened to be a working day. Ruan Yi came to the court on leave from school. She and Jin Zhiyu arrived very early.
Jin Zhiyu held a pile of information and documents in his hands and sat with Ruan Yi chatting about the court opening speeches and speeches.
Ruan Yi listened very carefully.
Not long after the two finished chatting, they saw Xu Siyan and Lin Cheng.
Xu Siyan wore a pure black suit today, and the matching shirt inside was all black. He was stern himself, so he looked even more cold when he wore it, and his whole body was covered with frost.
Jin Zhiyu knew Lin Cheng, so he stepped forward generously and said hello to Lin Cheng and Xu Siyan respectively.
Xu Siyan nodded towards Jin Zhiyu and turned his eyes to Ruan Yi behind him.
There was a strong sense of oppression in his eyes, as if they were filled with ice.
Ruan Yi has often received such looks from Xu Siyan before.
If it were in the past, Ruan Yi would definitely respond to him with a standard smile, and then gently call his name and say hello to him.
But now she was tired and no longer wanted to do such useless work.
Therefore, facing Xu Siyan's indifferent gaze, Ruan Yi's response was even more indifferent than him.
She has a cold temperament and doesn't like to laugh much.
Ruan Yi met Xu Siyan's gaze, his eyes were a bit fierce, and he looked at him expressionlessly.
Xu Siyan and Ruan Yi looked at each other for more than ten seconds, then turned and walked inside. Upon seeing this, Lin Cheng followed him step by step.
After Jin Zhiyu just witnessed Ruan Yi's attitude towards Xu Siyan, he was slightly surprised: "I thought you were more afraid of him."
Ruan Yi still had no expression and did not respond to this sentence.
She has never been afraid of Xu Siyan, and it is true that she feels indebted to him in her heart. Coupled with the emotional filter of her youth, it is difficult to be cold towards him.
At ten o'clock, the trial officially begins.
Jin Zhiyu, as the plaintiff's lawyer, took the lead in speaking.
He first stated Ruan Yi's situation in this marriage: "She has suffered cold violence all year round", "She has been separated since marriage", and "She has suffered sexual violence within marriage."
Xu Siyan was sitting in the dock. After hearing these keywords, his eyes never moved away from Ruan Yi.
Ruan Yi did not look at her. She sat calmly in the dock, looking straight ahead. The hearing bench below cast sympathetic eyes on her, but she still held her back straight, neither humble nor overbearing.
After stating the facts, Jin Zhiyu made a request: "Therefore, our client hopes to get a divorce. Our client and the defendant have no children and no joint property. Our client is willing to clean up and leave the house."
After hearing what Jin Zhiyu said, several judges couldn't help but look at Ruan Yi who was sitting in the plaintiff's seat.
If the situation stated by the lawyer is true, she has every reason to claim compensation for emotional distress and alimony.
When a couple divorces, according to the law, half of the property must be divided. However, if property and support issues are involved, the period of legal disputes will naturally be prolonged.
And she actually wanted to cleanse herself and leave the house——
