Chapter 282 He Won’t Come
"My name is Zheng Lan, I'm Xu Zhenhua's wife, and the recording is what I said..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the courtroom and everyone began to discuss in low voices.
"So the former mayor was wrongly accused?"
"Isn't it? The recording just said it. Besides, the previous mayor always had a very good reputation when he was in office."
"Oh my god, this is too vicious! I heard that the former mayor and the current mayor were good friends. I didn't expect that he would be framed by his own good brother."
"You know what? This Zheng Lan is the former mayor's second wife. You see, as soon as the former mayor died, she got together with the current mayor. After all, she's the mayor's wife, just like anyone else."
"Mayor Fu Boren is so miserable."
"Keep silence!" The hammer sounded again.
Zheng Lan continued, "But the truth is not like that. I was forced..."
When Fu Jiu heard Zheng Lan say this, her face turned pale.
"Ninth Brother..."
Song Shuran was also confused by the sudden change of heart. She looked at Fu Jiu.
“No…”
Fu Jiu shook her head slightly. "No, she's lying. She's lying. No one forced her to do that." As she spoke, she was about to rush out and question Zheng Lan.
Why do you treat her like this? This is her last hope. Why?
Seeing this, Song Shuran quickly reached out and held her back: "Brother Jiu, calm down and don't be impulsive!"
"Zheng Lan is lying. She clearly volunteered to testify for me. I didn't threaten her at all. She's talking nonsense."
She was careless and didn't expect to fall into Zheng Lan's trap. No wonder Xu Zhenhua was so calm. It turned out that they had planned it long ago.
Fu Jiu suddenly thought of something and quickly called Gu Sihan, but no one answered the call. She then called Ning Yuan, and this time the call was finally connected.
"Ningyuan, where is Third Master? Let him come over!" Fu Jiu almost cried when she said this.
Gu Sihan is now her last hope. As long as she sees Gu Sihan, she will feel at ease.
Ning Yuan looked at the man sitting at the desk, sighed slightly in his heart, and said lightly: "Little Madam, the Third Master is in a meeting now, it is not convenient..."
She didn't hear what Ning Yuan said afterwards, but the words "I may not be able to come" kept lingering in her ears.
He won't come.
Hehehe!!!!
Fu Jiu suddenly laughed, and tears flowed uncontrollably as she laughed.
It’s gone, everything is gone!
Song Shuran, who was standing by, had never seen Fu Jiu so devastated. She said with a worried look on her face, "Brother Jiu, are you okay? Don't scare me."
Fu Jiu suddenly pinched her thigh hard. The instant pain made her gradually calm down. She took a deep breath, sat in her seat expressionlessly, and watched everything in front of her.
The presiding judge said, "The above party, the plaintiff, is concerned that the evidence is insufficient to prove whether the defendant was framed. Please provide new witnesses!"
Fu Jiu was about to say something when her phone vibrated. It was a message from Gu Ci. She clicked it eagerly, and after seeing it, she couldn't help but tremble.
Song Shuran was frightened.
He quickly took the phone and looked at it, muttering in disbelief: "Brother Jiu, we lost!"
After coming out of the courtroom, Yuan Xiu said apologetically, "Ma'am, I'm sorry I couldn't help you!"
Fu Jiu shook her head slightly: "Don't say that. Thank you very much for your help!"
"I'll take you home!"
Fu Jiu shook her head slightly: "No thanks, thank you, Mr. Yuan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Ci got out of the car and rushed to Fu Jiu, looking at her with a worried look on his face: "Fu Jiu..."
Fu Jiu wanted to smile to reassure those who were worried about her, but she couldn't.
She failed, and her father could never clear his name until his death. It was her incompetence that deceived her by Zheng Lan.
"Fu Jiu, I'm sorry. If I had gone earlier and brought him here before Chen Hao died, maybe the ending would have been different."
"Don't be sorry, it's fate!"
"Shall I take you back?"
Fu Jiu nodded slightly.
Sitting in the car, Gu Ci said while driving: "Where is my uncle? Why did he fail at the critical moment?"
When Gu Sihan was mentioned, Song Shuran became angry: "Don't tell me about that disgusting man. It makes me want to vomit."
Gu Ci didn't know the situation yet, and looked confused: "What's going on?"
Fu Jiu remained silent throughout the journey. Song Shuran recounted the entire incident to Gu Ci, who was a little unconvinced. "Is my uncle hiding something?"
Song Shuran snorted coldly: "Unspeakable secrets? How could he, the richest man in South City, have such secrets?"
Fu Jiu, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up, "Even if I lose the case, I will let the world know that my father was framed. I will make Xu Zhenhua lose his reputation and become penniless!"
When Fu Jiu said this, her eyes were filled with determination. She couldn't just let it go like this.
And at this moment, Gu Group.
"Ningyuan, how is her situation?"
"Third Master, Madam lost the case."
Gu Sihan narrowed his eyes, pursed his thin lips and said nothing. Suddenly, he stood up, picked up his coat and left the office.
Gu Sihan drove back to the villa and didn't see Fu Jiu, so he took out his phone and called Fu Jiu. Fu Jiu saw the caller ID and smiled. She answered the phone and said calmly, "Third Master, are you free after the meeting?"
