Chapter 432: In the Dock
At 8:50, the court door opened. This was an ordinary civil lawsuit, so there was no need to go to the main court to pronounce the verdict.
On the stage, the presiding judge, three judges and the clerk were already seated. They all seemed very serious and kept looking at some materials in their hands. But after a while, they were whispering to each other about something. .
In the auditorium, the powerful relatives and friends who were called over by Li Qin had already arrived. The plaintiff's auditorium was filled with people from the Mo family, but on the other side, there were only a few people sitting because the Ye family did not Not present, not even Mr. Ye and Xia Jingshu came. The Ye family pretends that they don't know, it's none of their business, and even if they know, they don't want to come, because the child is not of the Ye family's blood.
They wished that the child would be sent to the Mo family.
It was the first time for He Xiyan to walk into such a solemn place. She clenched her fingers tightly, and the anxiety and worry in her eyes could not be dissipated. She couldn't help but look at the people around her, and those people They were also looking at her, especially the relatives of the Mo family, who all knew her, seemed to look at her with a strange look.
She was guided by the staff to sit in the dock. The chair was very cold. As soon as she sat on it, she felt a biting chill. Ye Hao held his hand tightly, as if he wanted to transfer all the warmth in his body to his wife, but he could feel her hands getting colder and colder, and he became more and more worried.
Mo Yixuan was not far away. He looked at his former wife with worry and intolerance in his eyes. He could tell that she was scared or very anxious, more anxious than everyone else there. It was the first time he had seen her look so worried.
And he suddenly had the urge to withdraw the lawsuit because he really didn't want to see her like this. But he had no choice, because it was his child. He couldn't let his child live in the Ye family, and he wanted her to come back to him.
As the sound of the gavel suddenly fell, all the discussions in the trial court quickly stopped, and the scene was very quiet.
The lawyer representing the parties began to make a factual statement and presented some relevant evidence such as the child's birth and paternity identification certificate. The most important thing was to state the reasons and advantages of awarding the legitimate child to the father. After that, the defendant's lawyer also made a statement. .
Everything went according to procedure and soon entered the court debate stage.
At this stage, He Xiyan suddenly discovered that Lawyer Chen, who was known as the most powerful lawyer in Night City, was suppressed by the opponent's lawyer almost the whole time. His argument was also very weak, and he was no match for the opponent at first glance. It was completely different from what he promised himself.
"Why..." He Xiyan, who could no longer sit still, suddenly stood up and shouted at Lawyer Chen who was not far away.
But as soon as she finished shouting, the judge banged his gavel to signal her to be quiet. Seeing that she was a little agitated, the staff quickly came over, pulled her to sit down, and whispered to her to stay calm.
The trial continued, and then entered the deliberation stage. At this stage, several judges and the presiding judge suddenly left their seats and went to the deliberation room at the rear together, where they communicated with each other for about 15 minutes. After their opinions were unified, they One by one, they sat back to their previous positions.
