After Jiang Shiwan left, Xiao Hong looked at Jiang Shiwan's back and felt that Jiang Shiwan's claim of hiring a lawyer to sue her was a bit dangerous. Right now, all she had was that video as evidence to prove that Jiang Shiwan had abused her. She had no other evidence. She felt that if Jiang Shiwan really found those things, having only that video as evidence might be too little.
She looked at her hands, which were red and clearly burned, and quite badly at that. Seeing her hands, she had an idea. Since Jiang Shiwan had burned her hands, she could take a picture as evidence. Besides, Jiang Shiwan might not even use those things to deal with her.
Xiao Hong had been doing odd jobs on the film set for several days without seeing Jiang Shiwan. She was wondering why Jiang Shiwan hadn't shown up when the court summons arrived. She felt a little panicked when she saw the court summons that had been handed to her. Although she wasn't afraid, this was the first time she had ever seen a summons like this. She hadn't expected that Jiang Shiwan had actually come to court to sue her.
But even if Jiang Shiwan brought these people, she wouldn't be afraid. She saw that the summons was for her to go, so she wasn't going to back down. She brought her evidence to the court, wanting to see how Jiang Shiwan would deal with her. She didn't believe that her evidence was inferior to Jiang Shiwan's empty talk.
When Xiao Hong arrived at the courthouse, she saw Jiang Shiwan waiting for her there. However, this time, Jiang Shiwan was accompanied by a serious-looking man in a suit and glasses. Xiao Hong had never eaten pork, but she had seen pigs run before. She knew at a glance that he was the lawyer Jiang Shiwan had mentioned who was coming to deal with her.
Even if she saw a lawyer, Xiao Hong didn't think much of it. She came alone. She had evidence that Jiang Shiwan had abused her. Even with a lawyer, there was no way to stop her without evidence. Xiao Hong was someone with evidence, so even without a lawyer, Jiang Shiwan wouldn't succeed in suing her. In fact, she might even be able to turn the tables on her.
As soon as Xiao Hong arrived, the judge sitting there, wearing a white wig, said: "Defendant Xiao Hong, Plaintiff Jiang Shiwan, Xiao Hong, Jiang Shiwan has now sued you in court on charges of malicious slander and is demanding compensation for economic losses. Now, please give your statement to explain your actions."
When Xiao Hong heard the judge call her name, she looked at the judge and said, "I did not falsely accuse Jiang Shiwan of anything. Everything I did is supported by evidence. I would never have done it without evidence. I am a law-abiding citizen. How could I do something that is not allowed by law?"
The judge felt relieved when he heard Xiao Hong say she had evidence. He now understood the situation. Since Xiao Hong had evidence, he wanted to see what kind of evidence it was. He looked at Xiao Hong and said rudely, "Since the defendant says she has evidence, then please bring up your evidence so we can see what it is."
When Xiao Hong heard the judge say this, she nodded to someone in the audience. The person pressed a button, and the screen above the courtroom started displaying the video. Jiang Shiwan couldn't help but laugh when she saw the video, but she didn't seem to have any reaction to it.
Seeing this, Xiao Hong felt something was strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She let the video finish playing in front of the judge, Jiang Shiwan, and the lawyer. As soon as it finished, the judge looked at Jiang Shiwan and said, "Plaintiff, do you have anything to say to the defendant? The defendant has evidence to accuse you."
Jiang Shiwan didn't seem worried at all. She looked at the judge and gave him a sweet smile. After smiling, she said to the judge, "I don't have anything to say. I don't know about the lawyer I brought. I'll let my lawyer analyze this matter for me."
The judge probably thought Jiang Shiwan really didn't know anything, and that Jiang Shiwan had brought her lawyer along specifically to have him speak on her behalf, so the judge nodded. Seeing that the judge agreed, the lawyer looked at Xiao Hong and said, "The defendant's video seems to have no theoretical basis whatsoever. One video isn't enough to be considered evidence, because we know the plaintiff is an actress, and if that video was taken during filming, that would be quite common."
When Xiao Hong heard the lawyer say that, she couldn't help but applaud him. She saw that although the lawyer denied her video, he still had a photo of her hand that had been burned, so she continued to show that photo of her hand. Jiang Shiwan probably didn't know that Xiao Hong had taken this photo. Anyway, Jiang Shiwan looked very surprised when Xiao Hong showed it.
Seeing Jiang Shiwan's surprised expression, Xiao Hong was very happy. She knew that Jiang Shiwan definitely didn't know that she had taken this photo, so Xiao Hong said smugly, "Your Honor, this photo shows the wounds I was left after being abused by Jiang Shiwan. It looks like a burn, right? This is where Jiang Shiwan kicked hot water on me."
Jiang Shiwan's lawyer reacted quickly. He adjusted his glasses and looked at Xiao Hong, saying evasively, "This wound cannot prove that Jiang Shiwan burned you. If you insist that Jiang Shiwan burned you, there's nothing we can do. We can fabricate many pieces of your evidence. This kind of evidence is nothing at all."
Xiao Hong didn't know what to do when she heard the lawyer say that, because what the lawyer said was true. However, the video and the photo were also made by Jiang Shiwan. She only had those two pieces of evidence, which were the only ones she had taken. But the lawyer denied both pieces of evidence.
The lawyer was pleased to see Xiao Hong speechless. If Xiao Hong couldn't say anything else, they would have won in court this time, because the evidence she presented was practically no evidence at all. So the lawyer knew they had won this time.
As expected, Xiao Hong remained silent. Seeing her seemingly conceding defeat, the judge sitting above instructed them, "This hearing is adjourned. The result is: the plaintiff has won!"
