Chapter 57 The CEO's Runaway Omega And Three Little Buns 35
'Who is this?' They all wondered. Their heartthrob was really bold. Sending in an assistant on his behalf to his marriage annulment. Zhang Jun was still as domineering as ever. Ha!
Although they didn't get to see their heartthrob, they were so happy that the alpha slapped Li Yexi's face with this blatant insult. That is until someone muttered.
"Z..Zhang Jun?"
Zhang Jun lowered his head slightly and rushed into the courtroom, he was a little embarrassed. He had starved himself for the past five days and although he lost some weight, it was still a far cry from his former athletic figure.
The bystanders, supporters and reporters finally came to their senses then. That was Zhang Jun? Their heartthrob Zhang Jun? It couldn't be... He was quite different from what they remembered.
They all silently went to one spot to watch the divorce proceedings from their phones. They would've loved to be in the courtroom but since it was a public hearing, the gallery was full to the brim. The people involved in the hearing were quite popular and had been the source of juicy gossip for months so no one wanted to miss it.
The case finally started and as the prosecutor, He Yuan's lawyer spoke first, listing out the reasons for divorce which were on the grounds of breaking of marriage vows and infliction of emotional damage. The lawyer ended with the demands for reparations for damages caused.
Zhang Jun locked eyes with He Yuan and scoffed. Although he'd been a little mesmerized when he walked in and saw Li Yexi, the fact that the omega was demanding five million at this point in time ruined all infatuation.
If only the omega had behaved himself and come to him, he would have maybe accepted him. After all, Li Shiyu was gone and the Li family seemed to be doing okay. Was there any need for the omega to go this far in order to grab his attention?
Next, it was the defendant's turn and Zhang Jun's lawyer stood up. Zhang Jun eyed the woman, he'd spent a small fortune to hire her so she better not disappoint him.
The lawyer went all to debunk all of the opposition's claims, painting Zhang Jun as the victim and even going as far as to indirectly hint at He Yuan's abuse of the kids.
"Objection my Lord," He Yuan's lawyer cut in. "Hearsay. There is no definite evidence supporting the insinuation that my client abused the children."
The judged hit his gavel once. "Objection sustained."
After a while, He Yuan's lawyer was called to present evidence and Zhang Jun frowned. What evidence could Li Yexi possibly have?
The lawyer boldly handed in the flash drive and a couple of police technicians and video analysts served as witnesses to prove the authenticity of the video provided. At this point, an uneasy feeling settled in Zhang Jun's stomach.
The video began playing and the sounds of moaning, grunting and the slapping of skin against skin filled the courtroom.
Blood drained from Zhang Jun's face, the audience exclaimed collectively in shock and the placards fell from the hands of Zhang Jun's supporters.
He Yuan smiled. He'd handed in the series of videos, catalogued by dates, to his lawyer, who in turn handed it to the police for analysis. All these happened before he sued Zhang Jun.
The videos were pretty graphic and he had flirted with the idea of censoring them but it was against the law to tamper with evidence so... Oh well, he tried his best.
At the end of the day, the court ruled in favour of Li Yexi and Zhang Jun was instructed to pay five million in reparations to his now ex husband.
The Internet blew up. Zhang Jun and Li Shiyu had been sympathized with as star crossed lovers and a lot of people even gave them their support, urging Zhang Jun to divorce Li Yexi and be together with the love of his life, Li Shiyu.
Although they all supported the two, they still had morals and would not condone adultery. A lot of these supporters were married and they knew they wouldn't feel good if their husbands or wives were secretly harvesting from their relative's chrysanthemum gardens!
There were even a lot of videos that had dialogues in them. These dialogues included Li Shiyu trickily instigating Zhang Jun against Li Yexi's family! They all used to think that Li Shiyu was an innocent flower played by fate so what was this? Who was this?!
With nowhere to vent, the people who just finished watching the court proceedings live all took to Zhang Jun's and Li Shiyu's social media accounts to drown them in proverbial spittle. The married ones at the forefront of the battle.
When He Yuan and the Li men walked out of the courtroom, everywhere was silent for a second before the reporters rushed forward, taking pictures and asking questions which were unanswered as the three got into their limo and drove away.
When Zhang Jun came out, all hell broke lose. His supporters who had been too ashamed to raise their heads in front of the Lis a while ago, all came at him with full force.
They had idolized him, supported him and even drowned him and Li Shiyu in their praise and blessings, all expecting Zhang Jun to do the right thing but what did they get in the end? Those two made them look like fools who supported adultery!
Come to think of it, how could Li Yexi have abused the kids? From the videos, it was clear that Li Shiyu was living in the Zhang mansion, something that they all had no idea about. How on earth could Li Yexi get to the kids in Li Shiyu's presence?
That scheming omega was clearly using his kids against Li Yexi! How could they have been so foolish? The more they thought of the situation, the angrier they became and they soon resorted to throwing their placards, water bottles and trash at Zhang Jun.
The reporters eagerly took pictures upon pictures with the occassional video. None of them stepped forward to question Zhang Jun, now was not the time. The people were heated and they did not want to get caught in the cross fire.
It took a while, but Zhang Jin managed to escape the angry claws of the public covered in grime and filth. This wasn't meant to happen to him, he was a top business magnate! This was all Li Shiyu's fault!
If Li Shiyu hadn't showed up in his life all those months ago then he would still have been peacefully married to Li Yexi. He might not have been deeply in love with Li Yexi but at least he liked the omega.
If he ever saw Li Shiyu again, he was going to rain hell on the omega for ruining his life with his bad luck!
Later that day, He Yuan received the alert of five million. He smiled as he walked up to Li Yexi's bedroom.
888 materialized beside him and said, "Ready?" When He Yuan nodded, a prompt appeared before him.
[Task Complete. Leave Task Realm, Yes/No]
He Yuan looked at 888. "What would happen if I click No?"
888 shrugged. "No one knows, but you better not be the one to find out. I still want to live."
He Yuan smiled and clicked Yes. Li Yexi's body immediately slumped on the bed.
Once Li Yexi woke up, he rushed over to his bathroom to throw up. He barely managed to walk out of the bathroom before he fell to the ground and passed out.
