Five years ago, a conspiracy led to an unexpected pregnancy, a city-wide manhunt, and homelessness.
In despair, she fled to another country.
Five years later, she made a grand return wi...
The next day, Xia Yunxi finally attended the trial.
After all, according to some of the evidence she provided, it was related to her. In order to prevent any accidents or summons, Xia Yunxi went there after all.
The courthouse is always solemn and dignified, because it is about tracing the truth and the outcome of the trial... So, from the moment I stepped in here, I didn't feel anything, but my heart was still filled with a sense of tension.
Xia Yunxi sat down in the audience, wondering what the man's expression would be if Li Hanting was the one who came.
He should be disdainful, he has always been arrogant and domineering.
Moreover, although he evaded Xia Chenghai by saying that he had no way to change the court's decision, if Li Hanting really intervened, the outcome was uncertain.
Xia Yunxi didn't want to think too much about it, because in this world, no matter how powerful some people are, when facing justice and the law... it's better to be gentle and not reach out.
The trial will begin soon.
In fact, this case is quite mysterious, but Xia Yunxi is suing for false accusation against certain media outlets.
Then... pulling out the radish will lead to the truth about the hole. How did the real rumor spread? It was reviewed by the judicial department at every level, as well as the evidence provided by Xia Yunxi herself.
Therefore, when the lawyer took out the pass recorded by Xia Yunxi and some evidence, the judge had actually already sided with the victim.
No matter how the media representatives try to argue, they cannot change this fact.
"Silence—" the presiding judge struck the gavel.
The entire noisy hall quickly quieted down, and then the chief judge stood up, said the words "adjourn for fifteen minutes" and left his seat.
The next court session will be for the verdict.
As soon as the presiding judge left, Lawyer Ren found Xia Yunxi and took her arm and walked out of the hall.
When they reached a secluded spot outside, Lawyer Ren let go of Xia Yunxi. "I think this is almost certain. The judge has shown signs of relenting, but it's not the last minute, so we can't let our guard down. I want to ask, Miss Xia, do you have any other evidence?"
"What other evidence?" Xia Yunxi was momentarily unresponsive. "Could there be another twist?"
"We have to be on guard," said Lawyer Ren.
Xia Yunxi thought for a moment. "They're neighbors over at Haiting Villa. That's why public opinion has become so serious. I don't believe my stepmother's family is innocent. Since they were able to spread the news online, the neighbors living nearby should have been the first to know about it. If we can get these people to testify in court, they shouldn't be able to escape."
Lawyer Ren pushed his glasses up and said, "What you said makes sense. If anything unexpected happens, I will file for an appeal again."
Xia Yunxi also knew that this time it would not work. Whether it was to find witnesses or anything else, there was not enough time.
Their worries proved to be unfounded.
There was no doubt that Xia Yunxi won the lawsuit. The court ordered those media outlets to compensate Xia Yunxi for the damage to her reputation and mental harm, etc. Converted into RMB, it amounted to tens of thousands of yuan.
Among them, Xia Chenghai was not prepared for the evidence provided by Xia Yunxi, so when the evidence pointed out that the rumor was spread by Xia Chenghai's wife Bai Fangzhen, even the most vicious people in the outside world were stunned.
Not only outsiders, but Xia Chenghai was also confused.
He was sitting in the front row and didn't see Xia Yunxi behind him. Besides, Xia Yunxi dressed very tightly today, wore sunglasses, and stayed away from the crowd.
Almost everyone present thought that Xia Yunxi didn't come.
Therefore, in court, Xia Yunxi's lawyer argued fiercely, presented evidence one by one, and directly stated that what happened to Xia Yunxi five years ago was completely fabricated out of thin air, maliciously fabricated facts, slandering his agent's reputation and causing mental harm.
Moreover, although the media was not a good party either, Lawyer Ren released the footage of Xia Yunxi being coaxed into the hotel by her stepmother, having drugs put in her cup, and calling the middle-aged man over.
It can be said that everyone directly impacted by this video evidence is powerless to retaliate.
Because the video surveillance showed it clearly, and also recorded the scene of Bai Fangzhen giving the drug.
It was in court, and the trial was public.
In the audience were not only Xia Chenghai and Xia Yunxi, but also some official media who were keeping a close eye on this matter.
Responsible for delivering messages to the outside world.
Therefore, when Attorney Ren pleaded with the presiding judge to impose punishment, the judge struck the gavel without hesitation and made the judgment on the spot.
…
After coming out of the court, Xia Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly left before some people inside could react.
Those media are like dog noses. If they found out that Xia Yunxi was here, one can almost imagine the scene of them swarming over.
Xia Yunxi didn't want to face them.
Although there was no deliberate arrangement, today's trial was transparent, and the media reporters sitting inside were no pushovers. I believe that before long, the Internet will have a new version of the story.
At that time, Xia Yunxi felt that he needed to move his fingers to make all the negative news on the Internet disappear.
Anyway, they already know what they should know, and we can't ask them to go back and search for what they shouldn't know, right?
As soon as I got into the car, the cell phone in my bag suddenly rang.
Xia Yunxi thought it was Li Hanting, but she didn't expect it to be Ye Chengjun.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she pressed the answer button: "Hello."
"Xiao Xixi, congratulations, you finally won a game." The voice in the microphone was very pleasant, but if it wasn't so frivolous, Xia Yunxi really wanted to talk to the other party about what had happened just now.
"You figured it out pretty quickly."
"Then you may not have watched the news." Ye Chengjun said.
Xia Yunxi raised her eyebrows slightly. "Has it spread on the Internet again?"
"Hmm!" And it once again occupied the hot search, but there was no need to say this. Ye Chengjun changed his tone: "It's a good thing and not so good. I didn't expect your life to be so wonderful. It's a pity that the teacher is not here."
"Ye Chengjun, don't think that I can't hear you gloating just because you're not in front of me." Xia Yunxi gritted her teeth.
The person on the phone chuckled softly, "When are you free? I'll come out and celebrate with you."
"Oh, I guess it won't be possible before the New Year. You know I have to accompany these two little ones, but it's okay after the New Year." Xia Yunxi said seriously, mainly because it wasn't long before the New Year.
"Oh, this really makes me sad. It wasn't like this when I asked you out before." Ye Chengjun deliberately accused her.
