Chapter 382: Chapter 382: Standing Here is the Proof

Translator: 549690339

Outside the courthouse.

Estelle had been waiting outside early, constantly checking the watch on her wrist, anxiety etched on her face.

It wasn’t until Rong Yan appeared that her furrowed brows finally relaxed, and she approached her, “You finally made it. The hearing starts in 10 minutes, and the reporters are all waiting outside. You’d better hurry over.”

“Okay.”

Rong Yan knew there would be a lot of reporters today. She had chosen to appear in court personally to prove that all the slander about her being kept and cheating was fabricated by an online smear campaign.

It was also to buy time against the fresh accusations claiming Duidui was Huang Youde’s son.

“Let’s go.” Estelle didn’t waste any time and walked with her toward the courthouse’s main entrance.

Halfway there,

Rong Yan’s phone began to ring.

She took it out and glanced at it.

It was another call from Mrs. Rong.

Rong Yan took a breath and decisively hung up.

Estelle saw her action and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the caller ID. Not knowing how to comfort her, she fumbled for words before finally saying, “Mrs. Rong came to the company yesterday looking for you in a fury. I was afraid it might lead to a conflict, so I didn’t notify you. She’s probably calling you because she couldn’t find you yesterday.”

Rong Yan was well aware of why someone who hadn’t called her in years would be calling now.

She shook her head, her expression composed, “After today, I will return her call.”

But not today.

No sooner had she spoken than a text message popped up on her phone.

Seeing who sent the text, Rong Yan initially didn’t want to open it, but ultimately couldn’t help herself and did.

It contained just a brief message —— “Where are you? I command you to withdraw the lawsuit immediately, or you will no longer consider me your mother! Think carefully!”

Seeing the pallor on her face and not knowing what she had seen, Estelle asked, “Rong Yan, what’s wrong?”

Rong Yan took a deep breath, suppressing the ridiculous ache in her chest, and shook her head, “It’s nothing.”

She had heard worse things outside the hospital room; she was prepared for this.

“Estelle, the hearing is about to start, let’s go,” she said.

“Alright.”

Estelle, not wishing to probe into her wounds to get a clear answer, called over her assistant and the security team and accompanied Rong Yan toward the courthouse.

The news of today’s court proceedings had reached many in the media.

Quite a few media personnel were staking out the courthouse entrance, and the moment they saw Rong Yan appear, they swarmed over like cats who had spotted a fish, their cameras and microphones all aimed at Rong Yan’s face——

“Rong Yan, it was said that HuanYu had delegated full authority to a lawyer, so why are you attending in person?”

“Do you have the evidence prepared?”

“What do you think about the news concerning you online, is it true or false, and there’s talk about an improper relationship with Mr. Huang, is that true?”

“Do you have a child? Can you reveal who the father is? Is it really Mr. Huang, who is 20 years older than you, as the internet is suggesting?”

“Are you attending the court session to prove that you weren’t kept or cheating five years ago? Are you confident about winning the lawsuit?”

The security guards formed a human wall, keeping the journalists at bay.

Rong Yan accepted an interview from one of the reporters and, facing the camera, simply said one sentence, “The fact that I dare to stand here is the proof!”

“I have never been kept by anyone!”

As for whether she had Duidui and with whom, that was her private life, and she owed no explanations to anyone!
