A second chance with my billionaire husband-Chapter 1618 - 326: The Ones Who Slipped Through the Net and a Household Name
"According to Mr. Yan’s instructions, everything has been arranged."
Dongfang Jian smiled smugly, saying, "Success or failure hinges on this moment."
His eyes glinted with desire and ambition, like the gaping maw of a beast, ready to devour him whole.
——
Two days later, it would be the day of the court’s verdict.
The case involved high-ranking officials, so it was not open to the public. However, the Yan Family insisted on a public trial and even invited various official media outlets from Country Hua to attend, putting on an innocent facade that only invited more ridicule.
Because of the massive impact of the case, even the television began to report on it. On the day of the verdict, it would be broadcast live on the central legal channel, overshadowing any entertainment news, even outshining the scandal of a top star’s recently exposed affair, becoming a case of national or even global attention. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
The trial was scheduled to officially begin at nine in the morning, but from six o’clock, media reporters began to trickle in, vying for the best spots.
One after another, some invited leaders made appearances, hurriedly leaving with a bureaucratic air before the cameras.
It was worth mentioning that Dongfang Jian made a grand entrance, waving warmly to the reporters.
A reporter asked, "What are your thoughts on Mr. Yan’s case?"
Dongfang Jian shook his head and sighed, looking regretful, "I never expected him to do such things, but before the law, everyone is equal. No matter his status, achievements, or how much the public adores him, none of that can be a reason to escape legal sanction."
Facing the camera, Dongfang Jian’s words were impassioned and righteous, earning applause from many patriots.
At this moment, a low-key black limousine stopped by.
The reporters surrounding Dongfang Jian immediately abandoned him and rushed over, enveloping the black limousine completely.
They had been waiting so long just to see the appearance of the Yan Family, which was the main event of the day.
Dongfang Jian’s face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he snorted lightly, sneering as he glanced toward the car door.
Shan Bao opened the car door and stepped down. Shortly after, four black-clad bodyguards exited another vehicle, following Shan Bao’s lead to keep the reporters at bay.
The flashes flickered incessantly with a "click-click" sound, cameras aimed at the car door, ready to capture every moment.
Shan Bao respectfully bent down and opened the car door.
In the next moment, Zhuang Xiyue stepped down, appearing in front of the cameras, usually dressed in elegant garb. However, today she had changed her style, wearing a black and white pantsuit, adding an extra touch of cold charm and sharpness.
Appearing makeup-free, her complexion was slightly pale but the cool and dignified aura mixed with elegance gave her an additional unique charm, every frame in the camera seemed perfect for a magazine cover.
It was the first time seeing Zhuang Xiyue in such attire, and the reporters went wild, frantically pressing the shutter.
Zhuang Xiyue’s gaze swept lightly around, her eyes like a queen’s, cold and haughty, making the reporters slightly fearful, their fingers subconsciously slowing down on the shutter.
Then, another tall figure emerged. The man wore a well-fitted black suit, upright and meticulous, exuding an air of restraint, especially with those improbably long legs, mesmerising many female reporters with drool-worthy looks, even more perfect than the celebrities of Country H.
The gloomy sky since morning suddenly broke with a beam of sunlight shining through the clouds, illuminating the man’s face with godlike beauty.
The man turned, reaching a hand into the car.
This should be Yan Song, the eldest son of Yan Nanmo and Zhuang Xiyue. Yan Song has always been a mysterious figure, never appearing in the public eye; this was his first time exposed to the cameras.
The stunned reporters snapped back to reality, frantically taking photos, my god, even more handsome than Yan Nanmo, but the key is this perfect physique and appearance... this cold yet restrained aura... it’s simply the archetype of a domineering CEO in novels...
A slender white hand rested in his palm, with long fingers, radiating a pearl-like glow, perfect and flawless like a work of art.
Forming a stark contrast with the man’s long, rough hands, yet inexplicably harmonious.
Soon after, a tall and slender figure bent down and stepped out of the car.
If Yan Song was like sunlight, bright and radiant.
Then this young girl was like moonlight, pure and bright, eternally luminous.
The girl wore a black dress, accentuating her slender figure, her skin so white it seemed to glow, her long hair tied into a ponytail, she wore white British-style shoes, the same classic black-and-white ensemble, exuding a minimalist, bright style.
The gentle and elegant aura easily let people overlook that exquisite, unparalleled face, but at first glance, the visual shock was so stunning that it left no other emotion.
This... could this girl be the rumored fiancée of Yan Song? She finally appeared.
Their hands tightly clasped, standing together, like sun and moon shining in harmony, a match made in heaven.
Soon after, a boy in a white suit stepped out of the car, resembling Yan Song slightly, yet lacking some of Yan Song’s charisma, gaining a bit more subtlety.
This boy should be Yan Nanmo and Zhuang Xiyue’s younger son, Yan Ke. This is also his first appearance in the public eye.
It seems today the whole family has mobilized. Yet one wonders if such a grand showing could rescue Yan Nanmo?
The four walked forward with Zhuang Xiyue leading, heads held high as they ascended the stairs, their high appearances shining anywhere they went, for the reporters, it was a visual feast, envying the genetically gifted family, seeming like people painted on canvases, completely different from the reporters’ reality.
"Lady Yan, please wait. Do you have confidence regarding Mr. Yan’s case? How do you perceive this matter?"
The reporter asked aloud.
Soon, a wave of questions followed one after another.
Zhuang Xiyue paused slightly, glanced back at the first speaking reporter, the female reporter instinctively retreated a step from her gaze.
"I believe the innocent will prove their innocence, and the law won’t wrong any innocent person, of course..." Her gaze skimmed over to Dongfang Jian, standing outside the crowd, her lips curling in a mocking smile.
"It won’t let any guilty one escape either."
Her voice resounded with determination, cold and weighty.
Dongfang Jian snorted coldly, turned and left.
"Move aside, please move aside." Shan Bao separated the approaching reporters, clearing a path for Zhuang Xiyue, who walked through expressionlessly, exuding a queenly aura.
The reporters were momentarily stunned by such a presence, subconsciously stepping back until the group walked far off, their silhouettes becoming small upon the layers of stairs, but their straight backs seemed never to be crushed by the winds or storms.
"Don’t you think Master Yan’s fiancée... looks a bit familiar?" asked the young intern reporter.
This remark made everyone nod in agreement.
"Indeed, I find her somewhat familiar too, like I’ve seen her somewhere, is she some entertainment celebrity?"
"How could the Yan Family marry someone with a celebrity status? It’s not an insult, just different classes, incomparable."
"I remember now... She is Ji Yunya."
The name Ji Yunya was like a spell, in Country Hua, you might not know what Ji Yunya looks like, but it’s impossible not to have heard her name, especially after the revelation that Ji Yunya is actually Dr. Nyx. Her name became universally known.
