Chapter 49 The CEO's Runaway Omega And Three Little Buns 27
He Yuan had no intention of attending the court trial in the first place but, to the outside world, Li Yexi was happily married to Zhang Jun and Zhang Jun was 'devoted' to Li Yexi even with his love for Li Shiyu so this wasn't the time to cause trouble and let Li Yexi's reputation be affected in a negative way.
Even if Zhang Jun had committed a crime, most people wouldn't see it that way and would blame Li Yexi for being a hypocrite and a despicable person for leaving his 'loving' husband at his worst.
He Yuan was trying his hardest to avoid leaving a mess behind for the leaser. When he arrived, the family head, Zhang madam, Li Shiyu and his kids were already there and about to go in. The Zhang madam looked over to He Yuan and scoffed.
"So you still remember Zhang Jun is your husband hmm?" She said through gritted teeth. "We've all been doing our best to make sure Zhang Jun doesn't suffer unjustly but what have you done? You've been sleeping under the Zhang family roof, eating our Zhang family food whilst acting like we're all strangers to you."
He Yuan lowered his eyes and mocked a sad look. "It's not like I did not want to help but you know Zhang Jun hates me so much and he's going through a lot. I don't want to anger him further by offering my help."
The Zhang madam choked. "Li. Yexi. What nonsense are you spouting? You really have no shame don't you?"
Li Shiyu looked at He Yuan with eyes filled with tears. "Yexi. I know you're doing all this because of Zhang Jun's feelings for me but now is not the time to bear a grudge. You have been married to Jun for over five years after all and you even constantly claimed to love him, does your heart not hurt to see him in this situation?"
The omega suddenly dropped to his knees in front of He Yuan. "The Li corporation has a lot of connections that could come in handy now but they have refused to make a move because you probably told them not to. Zhang Jun has treated you extremely well over the years, his only flaw was not being able to stop loving me even after he met you.
-Are you really going to punish a man over something he had no control over?" The omega's tears were pooling on the ground and some reporters were beginning to notice the scene. "If you want to blame anyone, then blame me. I'm used to it. It's my fault for being involved with Zhang Jun all those years ago, it's my fault for having his kids.
-Believe me, if i had known you were in love with Zhang Jun then I wouldn't have let myself to fall for him back then. Then maybe, maybe-" The omega broke into heart wrenching sobs.
He Yuan was beyond pissed. Li Shiyu would die if he didn't make everything about him wouldn't he? Zhang Jun clearly committed a crime, what exactly has that got to do with Li Yexi's relationship with him?
He looked around at the reporters that were beginning to gossip whilst taking pictures and he cursed under his breath. He couldn't even say anything to defend Li Yexi because if he did, people would only interpret it as him accusing Li Shiyu wrongly out of jealousy.
It was no news that the star-crossed lovers in any story had the people's blessing whilst the lovelorn villain belonged in hell and was a tool used to emphasize and enhance the lovers' love for each other.
He Yuan lowered his eyes and smiled wryly at Li Shiyu before walking past the omega and entering the courtroom. Whatever damage Li Shiyu's acting skills had done to Li Yexi's reputation, he would pay back with full interest.
The Zhang madam walked over to Li Shiyu and sadly hugged the omega. "It's okay now Shiyu, we already know Li Yexi's character. He never really cared for anyone but himself."
The murmurings of the reporters increased again as they took more pictures. People always saw Li Yexi as an easygoing, compassionate omega that was easy to get along with even if he was from an influential family. Who knew he was truly this kind of person outside the public eye? What a pretentious omega!
And from Li Shiyu's words, it seemed Li Yexi was constantly making trouble for his cousin. He was already married to Zhang Jun, was there any need to go after his cousin like this? Zhang Jun and Li Shiyu might have been lovers first but they've been nothing but civil to each other since Zhang Jun was now married to Li Yexi.
The only thing connecting the alpha and omega were the kids. What exactly does Li Yexi want? For them to kill the kids so they won't be any connection between them?
Speaking of which, they had been rumours claiming that Li Yexi constantly abused the kids. They had all dismissed the rumours because Li Yexi seemed like such a good omega but looking at the situation now, the rumours might not be unfounded.
Their eyes trailed over to the kids. Compared to when they first appeared months ago, the kids looked much different. Zhang Di and Zhang Ye could barely face the cameras. They were unusually shy, compared to when they returned from abroad.
The pictures from back then showed kids who faced the camera confidently with adorable maturity. They also seemed skinnier and looked a little sick. Loss of confidence, unusual quietness, pale looks. These were clearly signs of abuse!
The reporters had no idea Li Shiyu lived in the Zhang mansion as the information was tightly held under wraps. So in their minds;
[Li Shiyu did not always have access to his kids as they resided in the Zhang family mansion. Zhang Jun, as a CEO of an organization, was a busy man. The family head and Zhang madam were elites that had to attend different social functions constantly.
This left the kids alone with Li Yexi, who wasn't really a social person. Even if there were servants in the Zhang mansion, if Li Yexi, one of the masters in the house, wanted to harm the kids, who could stop him?]
They all thought back to a recent situation where different world renowned psychologists and psychiatrists kept visiting the Zhang mansion.
That's it! The Zhangs must have realized Li Yexi was abusing the kids so they arranged for therapy for them. That Li Yexi was truly too vicious!
The reporters all had itchy fingers to just return to their various establishments and write. This was truly explosive news, even more explosive than Zhang Jun's case.
After all, there were rumours that Zhang Jun might be a victim since he wasn't charged for the crime of directly stealing the money. He may have been set up.
This news on the other hand, was much juicier. It wasn't everyday you found an elite who stole his cousin's man, constantly abused his cousin emotionally and even went as far as to physically and mentally abuse the kids his husband had with his cousin before he married in!
When the reporters cleared out, the Zhang madam pulled Li Shiyu up to his feet. She might have held a grudge when Zhang Jun got arrested, but she realized, the omega was not really to blame.
Even when they had been celebrating the Zhang conglomerate's reversal, the omega had no idea that the money had come from Zhang Ye.
He had also proven his love for her son when he emptied out all his accounts. And even sold his father's house to add to the funds used for bribing some people at the top in order to reduce her son's sentence.
