After the divorce, the CEO forced me to have his child.

Chapter 305 Are you reluctant to see Gu Zhiyao sad?

Zhuang Yi remained expressionless and continued to press Xiao Yu relentlessly.

Xiaoyu was completely speechless, her face growing paler and paler, her teeth clenching her lips tightly. The terrifying images that she had buried for many years were uncontrollably surfacing in her mind, pressing down on her like a nightmare, making it hard for her to breathe.

Her body trembled, and she instinctively raised her hand to cover her head.

Seeing this, Gu Zhiyao could no longer hold back. She rushed over from her seat, hugged Xiaoyu, and angrily scolded Zhuang Yi, "Zhuang Yi, shut up! How could you do this? You're not human! Go to hell!"

Compared to Gu Zhiyao's exasperation, Zhuang Yi remained calm and composed, and then questioned Gu Zhiyao, "Ms. Gu, I was just using an analogy. Of course, my client and your situation are different from Attorney He and the man who sexually assaulted her, but you also hate my client? Even if you once loved him, now that he has married someone else, you hate him to the core. Are you sure you will genuinely care for the child who carries his blood? Are you sure that when you think of my client, you won't take your anger out on the child? And when you are under a lot of work pressure, your thoughts may become extreme, and then..."

"Objection! Your Honor, I think the defense lawyer is simply trying to be opportunistic and using improper means to interfere!" At this moment, Lin Houze also stood up.

His identity made him completely unsuitable for doing these things, but there was no other way.

He quickly came to Xiaoyu, took off his coat and covered her trembling body, comforting her, "Xiaoyu, don't be afraid, don't listen to what this bastard is saying, he's a villain, a piece of scum, he'll get what's coming to him!"

However, Zhuang Yi was the real defense lawyer, and some of the things he said were in accordance with procedure, which even the judge could not stop.

Xiao Yu was caught off guard, and under such stimulation, her condition worsened, forcing Lin Houze to request a recess.

After some deliberation, the judge adjourned the court temporarily.

Everyone returned to their respective camps.

He Yi and Zhuang Yi arrived at the lounge. He Yi looked at Zhuang Yi meaningfully, and Zhuang Yi smiled and said, "You're not blaming me for using this method, are you?"

He Yi remained silent.

Zhuang Yi continued, "Ayi, the courtroom is a cruel battlefield where both sides are thinking about how to defeat the other. If you show even a little bit of compassion, you are destined to lose."

He Yi naturally understood this principle, given that the business world he was in was similar, and even more so. In recent years, he had been ruthless and merciless in dealing with his competitors. After all, if he weren't ruthless, their fate would be his fate as well.

This is a law of society, which has existed since countless years ago, even since the origin of humankind!

However, He Yi still couldn't forget the scene of Gu Zhiyao rushing out and angrily scolding Zhuang Yi. She completely lost control because Xiaoyu had been hurt!

And Xiaoyu, that poor, unlucky girl...

"Let's call it a day. We'll continue another time." He Yi suddenly spoke up.

Zhuang Yi was shocked. "What did you say? I finally found this breakthrough. You can see for yourself that you're doomed to lose based on this situation. This is the only way to turn things around, and you're telling me to come back another day? Do you understand what this means?"

He Yi remained silent. Of course he knew that he had tried every means to prevent the Chinese legal team from appearing in court, but he did not expect Xiao Yu to perform so well. He could also see that if things continued like that, he would definitely lose!

Just as Zhuang Yi said, this is the only chance to turn things around!

But when he thought of Xiaoyu's loss of control, and the deep hatred and loathing Gu Zhiyao showed him after she had angrily berated Zhuang Yi, he felt...

“Ah Yi, although you hired me to defend you in this case, I don’t want to just do things for money now. This is also a key factor affecting my career, and I don’t want my career to end in defeat.”

“I will cover all the losses you have incurred this time!” He Yi said.

"Is this a matter of loss? Do I lack money? Perhaps my wealth cannot compare to yours, but I am not short of money, Ah Yi. I have earned enough money to squander for several lifetimes!"

He Yi naturally knew all this, but he really...

"Tell me honestly, are you just trying to make Gu Zhiyao sad? If that's really the case, you shouldn't have sued her in the first place. You could have just given your son to her!" Zhuang Yi asked bluntly.

He Yi froze.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and Zheng Yuanxi rushed in. "Ayi, are you really going to make Attorney Zhuang pause? No, Ayi, we've finally seen a glimmer of hope, how can you give up? Don't you remember what you promised me? You said Chenchen would grow up in the He family forever, so you can't give up. Attorney Zhuang, don't listen to Ayi, you continue to use your methods to win this case, you must win!"

Zhuang Yi has worked with He Yi for many years and is considered He Yi's personal lawyer. He is also quite familiar with Zheng Yuanxi.

But whether it was his imagination or not, he noticed that Zheng Yuanxi had changed a lot; even her appearance seemed to have changed.

At this moment, Zheng Yuanxi's excitement made him feel an inexplicable strangeness...

Zheng Yuanxi continued to plead with He Yi, her excitement bordering on irritation, and she even showed signs of losing control.

Zhuang Yi couldn't bear to watch any longer and reassured her, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will continue to use my methods to defend myself!"

Hearing Zhuang Yi's firm words and seeing He Yi pursing his lips and remaining silent, seemingly not making any special attempt to stop her, Zheng Yuanxi finally calmed down, feeling a surge of triumphant pleasure!

Meanwhile, in the other lounge.

Gu Zhiyao hugged Xiaoyu tightly. "Xiaoyu, I'm sorry. I never thought I would put you in this situation and bring back the shadows in your heart. I'm really sorry."

After a period of calm, Xiaoyu's emotions were no longer as out of control as before, and her thoughts were much calmer, but she was still unstable. She shook her head at Gu Zhiyao, who looked full of guilt.

Gu Zhiyao looked at Lin Houze and said, "Houze, can we apply for a suspension and postponement of the trial? I'm planning to change lawyers."

Lin Houze was immediately shocked.

Xiaoyu also said urgently, "Sister, do you want to change lawyers? No need, I can manage."

"It's okay, Xiaoyu. That Zhuang Yi is too despicable and powerful. I can't let you fall into that quagmire again. You finally got out of it, and I can't drag you into the abyss again. Otherwise, even if I get custody of Chenchen, I won't be happy."

“Zhiyao, listen to me.” Lin Houze also spoke up, his expression solemn. “First of all, we are in a very good situation now. Logically speaking, we should strike while the iron is hot and continue to win. If we change lawyers, it will be like starting all over again. I’m afraid we may not achieve the same results. Moreover, time is tight, the He family is powerful, and we can’t find a suitable candidate at the last minute. You knew that from the beginning.”

Gu Zhiyao knew all of this. She even knew that if she missed this opportunity today, she might still lose no matter how hard she tried.

But she really couldn't let Xiaoyu get hurt again.

She couldn't get the image of Xiaoyu's terror, loss of control, breakdown, and despair in court from her mind. She didn't want her happiness to come at the cost of Xiaoyu's suffering, and she was also afraid that if they lost the case today, it would have incalculable consequences for Xiaoyu, and Xiaoyu's life might be ruined.
