So far, the trial had entered the final stage of judgment. As the sound of the gavel came again, everyone at the scene stood up at the same time.

He Xiyan didn’t know why it ended in such a short time. It was said to take a whole morning, but now it took only an hour.

She looked anxiously at the people around, her eyes filled with helplessness. She found them all staring at the presiding judge on the stage and waiting for the judge to announce the judgment. She then looked at Li Qin, finding that Li Qin was smiling at this moment, so joyful and complacent as if she had known the outcome of the trial. Finally, she turned to look at her husband, Ye Hao.

Ye Hao was also looking at his wife at this time. He bit his lips tightly, his eyes full of worry and pain. Looking at her helpless and anxious face, he felt great agony in his heart as if being pierced by thousands of arrows.

Yanyan, everything would pa.s.s soon.

He said silently in his heart, expecting all this to pa.s.s quickly.

Under the public’s attention, the presiding judge opened the verdict and read it out in earnest:

On October 15, 2021, the plaintiff of the dispute between Mo Yixuan and his ex-wife He Xiyan over the custody of their son born during marriage appealed to this court. After the case was accepted, our court delivered to the defendant the notice of respondents to action according to law. The defendant defended according to law. In the course of the court hearing, the two sides, under the chairmans.h.i.+p of the court, put evidence, cross-examined and debated in accordance with their respective claims and reasons, and presented their final opinions in the end. According to the deliberations of the collegiate bench, the fact of the case was clear after the court’s investigation and debates.

In line with the principle of protecting the interests of children and contributing to their future healthy growth both physically and mentally, the court, in accordance with article 36, article 37 of “Marriage Law” together with the “Specific Opinions on the Treatment of Children’s Maintenance by the People’s Court in the Trial of Divorce Cases”, now rendered the following judgment:

Yuanyuan (pet name), the son of Mo Yixuan and his ex-wife, He Xiyan, who was born during the marriage, should be raised by his father, Mo Yixuan. He Xiyan did not need to pay maintenance for the child, and could require to visit the child at any time. Mo Yixuan could not refuse He’s visit requests. In addition, Mo Yixuan should pay eighty percent of the expense incurred during He’s pregnancy and childbirth, and could compensate He economically, no less than 120,000 yuan.

When the judge finished the last word, Li Qin, in the auditorium, almost cried out of extreme thrill. That kind of joy was beyond words. But for in the court, she even had an impulse to celebrate with fireworks.

They won. As expected, they won the case. Her grandson was coming back home.

On the other side, however, another woman was totally lost. As if drained of all her strength, she fell into that cold chair, gazing emptily at the judges on the stage and some other court staff, who were sorting out the papers as if nothing had happened, ready to leave.

Nothing seemed to have happened.

Aware of something, He Xiyan suddenly stood up and pointed at the judges on the stage, hoa.r.s.ely roaring, “You are not allowed to go!”

Then she went out of the dock like a mad, stumbling onto the stage.

“Say, how much money you take from Mo family, you corrupt officials…”

“That’s my child, my child.” He Xiyan rushed forward while pointing at those judges and growling hysterically. Her face turned red totally and she herself became too angry to control her actions and emotions.
