Chapter 89 Second Court
But Chi Jinjin felt that the little girl's eyebrows and eyes in the photo did not look like Lin Shuya. There was a small mole on the tip of her nose, and her facial features were more delicate than Lin Shuya's.
"Grandma, who is this little girl?" Chi Jinjin asked, pointing at the person above.
Wang Cuiping looked at the little girl in the photo, reached out and stroked her, saying, "She's a source of worry for Xiaoqiu, and for our family as well..."
Chi Jinjin saw unspeakable sadness in her grandmother's eyes.
She became even more curious.
But at this time Nan Xuqiu and Nan Yangcheng came back from fishing, and grandma quickly covered the photo album, as if she was afraid that Nan Xuqiu would see it.
"How was your fishing?" Wang Cuiping put the photo album in her pocket and walked over to ask.
Nan Yangcheng placed the bucket in front of her, pointed at the small fish inside and said, "I was unlucky today. I only caught a few small ones like these."
"It's okay, I can make porridge. Come on, I'll help you." Wang Cuiping pulled Nan Yangcheng into the kitchen.
Nan Xuqiu walked over and asked, "Is everything okay chatting with my grandma?"
"Grandma told me a lot of stories about her and grandpa." Chi Jinjin replied.
"Really? It seems that my grandma really likes you." Nan Xuqiu said with a smile.
"Why?" Chi Jinjin was puzzled.
Nan Xuqiu said, "Because grandma only tells stories about her and grandpa to people she likes very much."
"And let me tell you something. Grandpa has been praising you all the way, saying you're well-educated, well-mannered, pretty and cute." Nan Xuqiu reached out and touched Chi Jinjin's head, tilting his head and smiling as he sighed, "Our Jinjin is just so likable."
Chi Jinjin smiled happily.
Seeing that his pants were covered in mud, I asked worriedly, "How did you get that?"
Nan Xuqiu looked down and smiled, "It's okay, I just accidentally fell into the ditch."
"Ditch? You're not hurt, are you?"
"No."
"Then go change into clean clothes, your pants are dripping with water." Chi Jinjin said.
Nan Xuqiu nodded, turned around and went to the room to change his pants.
Chi Jinjin looked back towards the kitchen and saw grandma and grandpa happily processing the fish. Grandpa was even teasing grandma with the fish, and grandma pushed him away with a look of disgust.
Before coming, she had thought that the rumored General Nan would be a serious and stern man, and that Mrs. Wang would be a noble lady dressed in gold and silver.
But after coming here, I realized that the serious grandfather was actually an old man who loved to play pranks, and grandma was just a kind old lady who liked to tell stories and share.
The two people were completely different from what she had expected. Chi Jinjin looked ahead quietly. The two old people looked like ordinary grandmas and grandpas.
Obviously one is a master calligrapher with superb attainments, and the other is a renowned soldier, but there is no sense of being unattainable about them.
Just like the people around you.
However, they also have an extraordinary side, which is to turn the daily life of firewood, rice, oil and salt into poetry, and then there are years to look back on...
"What are you looking at?"
Nan Xuqiu had already changed his clothes and returned to Chi Jinjin's back, putting his arm around her shoulders.
"Nothing." Chi Jinjin said, "Let's go and help grandpa and grandma prepare the fish."
"Okay." Nan Xuqiu nodded and walked into the kitchen with her.
The kitchen suddenly became even more lively.
Chi Jinjin looked at the happy scene in front of her and felt like she was at home, with her kind grandmother, doting grandfather, and a beloved one.
At this moment, there is no restraint or tension, only steady happiness.
In the evening, grandma took Chi Jinjin to her room to rest. The room had already been tidied up.
As soon as she heard that Nan Xuqiu was going to bring Chi Jinjin over, Wang Cuiping got up early and cleaned up the room for Chi Jinjin with Nan Yangcheng. They also decorated it carefully and all the things were brand new.
As early as when Nan Xuqiu first told them that he had a girlfriend, he would find time to bring her over to meet them.
Wang Cuiping had already started buying various things, looking forward to this day.
"Why are you still standing here? Jinjin needs to rest. Get out now." Wang Cuiping pushed Nan Xuqiu out of the room and warned, "Don't sneak in to disturb Jinjin at night, or I'll ask your grandfather to snipe you to death!"
"I know, grandma." Nan Xuqiu nodded helplessly and looked at Chi Jinjin.
Chi Jinjin covered her face and smiled.
Wang Cuiping was worried, so she dragged Nan Xuqiu away who was reluctant to leave.
For a moment, Chi Jinjin felt like she was her own grandson.
But Nan Xuqiu seemed like an outsider.
Chi Jinjin sat down next to them and looked around. She had thought of many scenarios, most of which were that her grandparents might dislike her to some extent, but she didn't expect that they cherished her so much.
I really judge others by my own standards.
Nan Xuqiu was dragged back to his room by Wang Cuiping.
Wang Cuiping closed the door and suddenly asked, "You haven't bullied Jinjin, have you?"
"Bullying?" Nan Xuqiu was stunned for a moment before realizing what she meant. He said, "No, even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be willing to do that."
"I can tell from the first glance that Jinjin isn't a casual girl, and neither should you!" Wang Cuiping warned. "Some of grandma's classmates, in order to save money on betrothal gifts and also to avoid having grandchildren, encourage their sons to take advantage of other girls early on, forcing them to marry pregnant. We won't do such immoral things, you hear me?"
Nan Xuqiu nodded.
"That's right, you are tired too, so have a good rest." Wang Cuiping touched Nan Xuqiu's head with satisfaction, then left the room.
Nan Xuqiu smiled.
But just as he smiled, he heard the door click.
Nan Xuqiu walked forward and found that the door was locked.
"Grandma..." Nan Xuqiu said helplessly.
Wang Cuiping said outside the door, "Have a good rest, my dear grandson. Grandma will come to open the door for you tomorrow morning. Good night."
With that she left.
Nan Xuqiu held his forehead and smiled.
Chi Jinjin lay down on the bed when Nan Xuqiu sent a message asking: [Lawyer Chi, how many years will you be sentenced for imprisoning someone without permission?]
Chi Jinjin was puzzled, wondering why he was asking this, so he replied: [It depends on the severity. The punishment ranges from three to ten years at the mildest, to deprivation of political rights at the worst.]
Nan Xuqiu: [Oh, I see.]
Chi Jinjin: [What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking me such a strange question? ]
Nan Xuqiu: [My grandma has locked me up. Please come and save me.]
Chi Jinjin chuckled and replied: [Sorry, you are out of service area, ╮(╯＿╰)╭]
The lights flickered into the night, and the orange trees embraced the evening breeze...
The next day, grandma made fish soup for Chi Jinjin and the others early in the morning.
Before leaving, grandma held Chi Jinjin's hand and said over and over again, "When you have time in the future, you must come to visit me often. I'm old and can't walk far, so I'm asking you young people to run around more often."
"Grandma, don't worry, there will be many opportunities to meet us in the future." Nan Xuqiu said with a smile.
Chi Jinjin walked up to her and hugged her, then got into the car reluctantly and left.
Grandma was still behind the car, unwilling to leave for a long time, watching the back of the car disappear...
The doorbell rang, Xiao Dan went to open the door, but the person who appeared at the door was Nie Jiang!
"You, why are you here?" Xiao Dan immediately became nervous and wanted to close the door.
Nie Jiang pushed it open and went straight into the room.
"Why are you closing the door? It's been so long since we last met, don't you miss me?" Nie Jiang approached step by step.
Xiao Dan stepped back and pointed outside the door, "Get out of here!"
"Of course. You've been in a bad mood these past few days. How dare you talk to your master like that?" Nie Jiang said with a smile.
Xiao Dan was shaking all over and warned, "If you don't leave, I'm going to call the police!"
"Then you report it? Do you want me to help you?" Nie Jiang was fearless.
Xiaodan turned around and wanted to get her cell phone.
Nie Jiang grabbed her wrist and pulled her in front of him, sternly saying, "Do you think you're noble and clean just because you have a crappy lawyer willing to appeal for you? I'm telling you, you'll always be that bitch, a lowly bitch at heart!"
At this time, Xiaodan's parents came back. When they saw Nie Jiang, her mother immediately ran up to push him away, but Nie Jiang kicked her away without any hesitation.
"Mom!" Xiaodan exclaimed.
"You beast!" Xiao Dan's father was immediately furious. He rushed into the kitchen, grabbed a kitchen knife and was about to chop him.
Xiao Dan hurried over and hugged him, crying, "No, Daddy, don't!"
"What? You want to kill me? Do you dare?" Nie Jiang said fearlessly and defiantly, "Old man, you should know what kind of person my father is. If you dare to touch me, I will kill your whole family!"
Xiaodan's father was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot.
Nie Jiang took advantage of his unpreparedness, snatched the knife from his hand, and punched him on the head. Xiao Dan's father fell to the ground immediately.
Xiaodan hurried to help.
Nie Jiang laughed proudly, "It's really an old bitch giving birth to a little bitch."
"Bastard!" Xiao Dan gritted her teeth and rushed forward to hit him, but her hands were grabbed by Nie Jiang.
Nie Jiang squeezed her wrist fiercely and said, "I don't have time to argue with you. If you know what's good for you, just withdraw the lawsuit and let's just muddle through."
"Even if I die, I will not withdraw the lawsuit!" Xiao Dan said with hatred. "I didn't lie. You and those others raped and humiliated me. These are all facts. Even if I die, I will not withdraw the lawsuit!"
"What's the truth? Who would believe it? In their eyes, you're just a slut who doesn't know how to pick up a little bit!" Nie Jiang grabbed Xiao Dan's neck and said with a smile, "You can't beat me at all. I've been really good to you. Since you served me well in the past, I didn't pursue the matter. Not only are you ungrateful, but you're also appealing?"
Nie Jiang pinched her neck tightly, and Xiaodan immediately felt difficulty breathing, tears falling down.
Nie Jiang smiled and said, "I'm warning you, withdraw the lawsuit immediately, or I'll make sure you don't get away with it!"
He let go of Xiao Dan, kicked away the stool that was in the way, and walked out with a swagger.
"Dad...Mom..." Xiao Dan knelt on the ground in front of the two of them, lowering her head and crying bitterly.
After Chi Jinjin returned, the court hearing began soon.
Perhaps it was because enemies met on a narrow road, Chi Jinjin and Gao Yi took the same elevator again.
Gao Yi sneered, "You still have time to withdraw the lawsuit now. Withdraw the lawsuit, and you won't be able to overturn the verdict at all."
"Thank you, but it's not necessary." Chi Jinjin said with a polite smile.
"Forget it. Since you are so stubborn, I want to see you defeated later." Gao Yi said.
"Then you just wait and see." Chi Jinjin said with a smile.
At this time, the elevator had arrived at the first floor of the court and the elevator door slowly opened.
The Libra emblem is painted on the wall in front of the door, with Chi Jinjin on the right and Gao Yi on the left.
The two of them walked out together, turned around at the same time, and walked in two directions in their robes.
When the two met again, it was in court.
Gao Yi glanced at the audience seats and found that Nan Xuqiu was not there to listen this time.
He thought that it seemed that Nan Xuqiu also knew that he was bound to lose this time, and he felt that he could not afford to lose face, so he simply did not come.
The gavel rang out, and the presiding judge announced, "The Second Criminal Trial Chamber of the C Province People's Court is now in session."
Chi Jinjin listened quietly to the evidence and defense listed by Gao Yijiu.
"Your Honor, we uphold the original indictment. The relationship was consensual and there was no coercion or rape."
After he finished speaking, Chi Jinjin slowly stood up and displayed a birth certificate on the big screen.
Everyone looked and saw Xiaodan's name written on the birth certificate.
"Lawyer Chi, what does this mean?"
Chi Jinjin said, "Judge, please look here."
She took a red laser pointer and circled a place, which was Xiaodan's date of birth.
Gao Yi frowned when he saw it.
Nie Jiang was puzzled and his legs were shaking as if he was not afraid.
Chi Jinjin said, "Your Honor, according to Xiaodan's parents, when Xiaodan was applying for her birth certificate, due to the carelessness of the staff, her birth date was added three years. I went to the hospital where Xiaodan was born and investigated to obtain this birth certificate."
"So what? Does it have anything to do with this case? Why digress so much?" Nie Jiang disagreed.
Chi Jinjin said, "What can we do? You can ask your lawyer Gao about the relevant laws."
Nie Jiang turned around and asked Gao Yi. Gao Yi had a dark face and was too lazy to say anything. He just opened the code and showed it to him. After taking a look, his face suddenly changed and he looked incredulous.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Nie Jiang's parents in the audience couldn't help but become worried.
Nie Jiang's father clenched his hands into fists on his knees.
Chi Jinjin's birth certificate was like a bomb.
Soon Chi Jinjin presented the second piece of evidence.
Gao Yi never thought that she had a witness, and her witness was Nan Xuqiu.
Nan Xuqiu stood in the witness stand and played a video.
The video shows Nie Jiang playing tricks on Xiao Dan's house that day.
It turned out that before leaving, Nan Xuqiu installed a micro surveillance camera at Xiaodan's house with her consent.
"This is not true, this is fake, it's a frame-up!" Nie Jiang was in a state of panic.
