The court's decision was expected. After the lawsuit ended, Ruan Yi didn't feel like he was in a good mood and the dust had settled.
Her mind was filled with the "evidence" provided by Xu Siyan, and she walked out of the courtroom in a daze.
When they were going down the steps, Ruan Yi and Xu Siyan met each other, and their eyes collided without warning.
Xu Siyan's eyes were as cold as ever, and Ruan Yi was no better than him, even colder than him.
Her lips formed a line of sight, and her face was as cold as ice. When she looked at him, her eyes were cold and sharp.
For the first time, Xu Siyan felt a strong sense of oppression from Ruan Yi's eyes. He actually became unnatural in breathing under her gaze.
After realizing his reaction, Xu Siyan felt ironic again——
He thought that he was now sure that Ruan Yi's smile and gentleness in those previous years were all fake, and this was her original appearance.
Xu Siyan stared at Ruan Yi's cold eyes and said mockingly: "Congratulations."
Anyone could tell that he didn't mean it, that he was just being sarcastic.
Ruan Yi: "Same joy."
She moved her lips coldly, her voice without warmth, "Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow to go through the procedures. It's 9:30 in the morning. Remember to arrive on time."
Ruan Yi didn't give Xu Siyan a chance to reply, so he turned around and left after saying this.
Jin Zhiyu witnessed all this and was somewhat surprised - in fact, Jin Zhiyu felt that Ruan Yi's mood was not right as early as in court, and it seemed that it started when Xu Siyan provided "evidence of cheating".
Jin Zhiyu followed Ruan Yi and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Ruan Yi stopped in front of the car, "It's okay."
Jin Zhiyu: "It's okay. You were in a scary state just now."
In Jin Zhiyu's impression, Ruan Yi is a very polite and measured person. She usually talks politely to others. Even though she and Xu Siyan were divorced, her attitude just now was a bit incredible.
Ruan Yi knew why Jin Zhiyu said "scary". She opened the car door and put her bag in. "Thank you for today. I'll treat you to a meal after completing the formalities."
Jin Zhiyu: "Okay, then go ahead and do your work."
Jin Zhiyu just watched Ruan Yi get into the car, and until she drove away, he failed to ask the question he wanted to ask.
——About that "evidence of cheating".
——
After Ruan Yi got in the car, he called Qinghe and explained the lawsuit.
After Qinghe heard that he had won the case, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. It's all over. When will you go home? Mom will cook your favorite dishes."
Ruan Yi: "Mom, no need. I have something to do with a friend, so I won't go back to eat today."
Qinghe: "Okay, then come back when you're done and don't be too late."
After talking to Qinghe on the phone, the intersection in front happened to be a red light. Ruan Yi raised his hand and touched the corners of his eyes, and his fingertips became wet.
She raised the corners of her mouth and smiled to herself.
Due to the recent divorce, Qinghe and her grandparents have been worried about her. Ruan Yi just wants to show her emotional stability in front of them. In this state, it is impossible for her to go back.
Ling Wei happened to come to Beicheng on a business trip the day before yesterday, and Ruan Yi chose to go to the hotel to find her.
When Ruan Yi went to the hotel, Ling Wei was still meeting with clients outside. Ruan Yi went to the coffee shop downstairs of the hotel to sit alone for a few hours.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Ling Wei came back.
Ling Wei didn't even have time to put down the information. After getting off the car, she rushed to the coffee shop to look for Ruan Yi.
Ling Wei put down the information and sat down opposite Ruan Yi. Seeing her decadent state and pale face, she couldn't help but worry: "What's wrong with you? Is there an accident in the lawsuit?"
Ling Wei knew that Ruan Yi's divorce lawsuit was going to trial today, but Ruan Yi never mentioned the lawsuit when he sent her a WeChat message before.
Ling Wei was arguing with her client at the time and didn't have time to ask - and she was sure in her heart that Ruan Yi would win the lawsuit and was not worried about the outcome.
But Ruan Yi’s current state is really too——
"No, I won the case." Ruan Yi spoke slowly under Ling Wei's worried eyes, "I'll go through the formalities early tomorrow morning."
Ling Wei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this answer, but she was still curious, "Now that you have won the lawsuit, why are you still in this state? Did you quarrel with someone?"
Ruan Yi shook his head, "No."
She stroked the coffee cup in front of her with her fingers, her eyes wandering a little, "During the trial, he provided a piece of evidence of my cheating."
Ling Wei's eyelids twitched: "What evidence do you have of cheating? Haven't you not seen Jiang Wan recently?"
When they decided to sue, Jin Zhiyu reminded them to avoid suspicion. During this period, Ruan Yi and Jiang Wang had no other contact except chatting on WeChat, because they were afraid of causing complications during the lawsuit.
Ruan Yi and Ling Wei talked about Xu Siyan bringing out butterfly specimens as evidence during the trial.
Ling Wei frowned after hearing this: "Is this what you planned to give to him before?"
She remembered that Ruan Yi had said before that she and Jiang Wan met when they went into the mountains to catch butterflies, but the gift was not given out.
Ling Wei knew that Ruan Yi would definitely not be able to explain given his personality, so he did not pursue her questions. She was just curious: "How did he know about this thing and get the photo?"
Ruan Yi: "A few days ago, when my grandfather had an accident, he happened to be downstairs in my house."
Speaking of this matter, Ruan Yi's voice was full of self-deprecation: "He arranged for my grandpa to go to the hospital and helped me and them pack their luggage when they returned home."
Ruan Yi didn't need to say what happened next. Ling Wei also guessed it: "He took this opportunity to enter your apartment and then went to find this evidence?"
Ling Wei gritted her teeth, "Despicable enough."
Ruan Yi pursed his lips and said nothing.
She had previously thought about why Xu Siyan and Yuan Ye happened to appear at the apartment when her grandfather had an accident that day.
Qinghe said that they met below the unit building.
She didn't think deeply about it at that time. Until today's court hearing, when she saw Xu Siyan presenting the evidence, all her previous doubts were answered——
He came to the door to find evidence. Even if nothing happened to grandpa that day, he would probably think of other ways to get in.
And she was actually moved by this incident.
What an irony.
Their marriage lasted for more than four years. During this period, did Xu Siyan ever take care of her family?
Even went back to help with packing.
After listening to Ruan Yi's explanation, Ling Wei finally understood why she was in this state.
She did not persuade Ruan Yi to explain to Xu Siyan. She felt that Xu Siyan did not deserve to know the truth and answers.
Ling Wei: "Never mind it, just win the lawsuit. Come on, I'll take you out to have some fun and relax."
——
Ruan Yi and Ling Wei arrived at the PUB together.
It's almost dusk, and customers have already started arriving here.
Ruan Yi usually likes to be quiet and rarely comes to such occasions because he finds it noisy.
Not long after entering, Ruan Yi was dragged onto the dance floor by Ling Wei to dance, "Try it, it will relieve stress."
