Chapter 232 Raising a Child Alone
His lawyer stood by, rattling off the so-called "reasons," saying that her ex-husband now had a stable job and income, enabling him to provide a better material life for the children, while Yuan Bao was too busy with work to give the children enough time and attention.
Yuan Bao's lawyer did not back down and refuted the opposing viewpoints one by one.
He presented the evidence collected by Yuan Bao to the judge, pointing out that his ex-husband's neglect of the children over the years made him an irresponsible father.
Yuan Bao also stood up and said excitedly, "Your Honor, I have been raising my child alone all these years, and only I know the hardships I have endured."
Although I am busy with work, I have never neglected my child's growth. In my spare time, I spend time with my child learning and playing, and I care about his physical and mental health.
My ex-husband did nothing except visit the children a few times occasionally.
His sudden fight for custody is simply because he sees I have some money now and wants to take advantage of me.
I implore Your Honor to investigate thoroughly and grant me custody of the child.
Enraged by Yuan Bao's words, her ex-husband shouted, "You're talking nonsense! I genuinely want the child, don't slander me!" He then suddenly lunged at Yuan Bao, intending to attack her.
Chaos erupted in the courtroom. The judge quickly struck the gavel to restore order and warned the ex-husband that he would be severely punished if he continued to disrupt court proceedings.
Just then, Ash was brought into the courtroom.
He saw his parents arguing in court and was so frightened that he started to cry.
He walked to Yuan Bao's side, hugged her tightly, and said, "Mom, I don't want to go with Dad, I want to stay with you."
Yuan Bao hugged Xiao Zhi tenderly and comforted him, saying, "Baby, don't be afraid, Mommy won't let you leave me."
The judge watched this scene and fell into deep thought.
Ultimately, the judge adjourned the court and announced that the verdict would be delivered at a later date.
Yuan Bao and her ex-husband left the court with mixed feelings.
Yuan Bao knew that the lawsuit was not over yet, and she had to be fully prepared for the final verdict.
Meanwhile, the ex-husband was plotting how to convince the judge and gain custody of the child.
The custody battle continues, and the conflict between Yuan Bao and her ex-husband is deepening.
Yuan Bao grew angrier the more she thought about it, the anger in her chest threatening to set her on fire.
Her ex-husband's greedy and shameless face lingered in her mind, and she longed to rush over and beat him up to vent her anger.
But reason told her that we live in a society governed by law, and how could she act so recklessly and openly resort to violence? Obviously, that wouldn't work.
Just as Yuan Bao was filled with resentment and at her wit's end, Xiao 9's slightly cunning voice rang out in her mind: "My lady, don't forget you still have an unlucky card!"
These words were like a bolt of lightning in the darkness, instantly illuminating Yuan Bao's thoughts.
That's right, how could she have forgotten about this magical weapon! In an instant, a glint of light flashed in Yuan Bao's eyes, and an idea came to her.
Yuan Bao quickly found out her ex-husband's whereabouts and went straight to his door.
In a messy, dimly lit alley, she cornered her ex-husband.
Yuan Bao stood ramrod straight, her eyes cold and fierce, like a vengeful goddess, staring directly into her ex-husband's eyes, warning him word by word: "Listen up, don't you dare try anything with our son again, or you'll regret it!"
The ex-husband was stunned by Yuan Bao's sudden aura, but he quickly recovered and showed a hint of disdain on his face. He snorted coldly, "Oh, what can you do to me? Don't try to scare me."
Although he was putting on a brave face, he secretly felt that Yuan Bao seemed to be quite different now, exuding an aura that was hard to ignore.
But her ex-husband's greedy nature made him unable to give up the idea of making money off Yuan Bao, and he remained unrepentant.
Seeing this, Yuan Bao stopped talking and silently activated the Unlucky Card in his mind.
Almost at the same instant, something magical happened.
The once clear sky was suddenly shrouded in a dark cloud that drifted in from nowhere and landed right above her ex-husband's head.
Immediately afterwards, with a "thud," a passing bird left a "souvenir" on his head.
Caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, the ex-husband burst into a tirade: "What the hell!" while frantically wiping his hair.
Before he could even catch his breath, his foot slipped, and he fell forward, landing face-first in the mud.
A pool of greasy sewage had appeared on the ground sometime during the night, making him filthy and disheveled.
Her ex-husband struggled to get up, cursing incessantly. He had only taken a couple of steps when he tripped over a protruding stone slab and almost fell again.
At this moment, the ex-husband was already overwhelmed by this series of misfortunes. He looked at Yuan Bao in horror, as if he realized that all of this was not accidental.
Yuan Bao stood with his arms crossed, coldly observing everything, a faint sneer on his lips.
Afterwards, the ex-husband hurriedly ran home, trying to escape this strange situation.
But when he ran downstairs, a sudden gust of wind blew by, and a flowerpot from someone upstairs was blown off with a loud crash, landing right at his feet. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and he almost collapsed to the ground.
After finally managing to open the door with trembling hands, I discovered that the key was broken in the lock and I couldn't open it no matter what I did.
He was both angry and anxious, and turned to find the property management for help. He hadn't taken more than a few steps when he twisted his ankle and felt a sharp pain. He grimaced in pain and could only limp along with difficulty.
After all this torment, her ex-husband was so exhausted that he lost all his temper and was filled with nothing but fear.
He finally realized that Yuan Bao was indeed capable, and he was no match for her at all.
He secretly vowed never to provoke Yuan Bao and his son again, and just wanted to escape this terrible bad luck as soon as possible.
As Yuan Bao watched her ex-husband's retreating figure, her anger finally subsided a little. She knew that this was just a small lesson for her ex-husband, and if he dared to bother her again, she would not let him off easily.
The ex-husband, disheveled and exhausted from a series of misfortunes, limped back to his messy rented apartment.
He collapsed onto the dilapidated sofa, his eyes bloodshot and filled with fear and resentment.
The scenes that had just happened kept replaying in his mind. Those inexplicable disasters made him completely convinced that this was no accident and that Yuan Bao must be behind it all.
"That bitch, how dare she treat me like this!" the ex-husband cursed through gritted teeth, slamming his fist heavily on the sofa armrest. The resentment in his heart burned like a raging fire, growing ever stronger.
He was unwilling to be controlled by Yuan Bao like this and decided to take revenge.
