Chapter 196: Extras
"Mrs. Chi, Chi Muzhen is your daughter after all. You are the one who is embarrassed by the things she did outside. You should take care of her when you have time."
Xu Rou frowned and said coldly: "She has severed ties with me. Her affairs have nothing to do with me from now on."
One of the poker players couldn't help but shake his head. "After all, we're blood relatives. Do you really mean to sever ties just because you say so?"
Xu Rou was annoyed by what she heard, so she put down her cards, stood up and said, "I'm feeling a little uncomfortable today. I'll go home first. We'll meet again another day."
After saying that, he turned around and left without caring about the expressions of the other card players.
When I got home, I still felt angry when I thought about what happened before, so I immediately called Chi Xuan.
"Xuanxuan, I heard that you and Chi Muzhen went to court. What happened?"
The court was about to begin. Chi Xuan hurriedly said, "Mom, I'll explain this to you later. The court is about to begin, so let's leave it at that for now."
Before Xu Rou could say anything, the call was hung up.
Xu Rou held the phone in silence for a while, and felt that she should ask Chi Zhen about this matter.
However, she called Chi Zhen three times in a row, but Chi Zhen didn't answer.
She took her bag and asked the driver to take her directly to Chi's. As soon as she arrived at the door of Chi Zhen's office, she met a woman in a red long skirt walking out.
When she saw Xu Rou, surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled.
"Madam, why didn't you tell me you were coming so I could pick you up? Mr. Chi is talking to a client right now. I'll take you to the lounge first."
Xu Rou frowned, "What client are you talking to?"
"A developer, ma'am, what would you like to drink?"
Led by Lin Jiaqi, Xu Rou walked into the lounge.
"Just make me a cup of tea."
"Okay, ma'am, please wait a moment."
Lin Jiaqi came back soon, put the tea on the table and said with a smile: "I still have work to do. If you have anything, please call me anytime."
Xu Rou was feeling annoyed at the moment, so she nodded and said, "Well, you can go out."
Half an hour later, Chi Zhen walked into the lounge.
"I heard from Xiaolin that you came to see me, what's the matter?"
Xu Rou looked up at Chi Zhen. The impatience in his eyes was obvious, and Xu Rou noticed it almost instantly.
She pursed her lips and said coldly, "The designer of Chi Muzhen's company plagiarized Jinxiu's design drawings, and Xuanxuan took her to court. Do you know about this?"
Chi Zhen was stunned. He had been wanting to start an overseas project recently and had been on a business trip abroad. He had only returned these two days and was so busy that he had not even returned home. Naturally, he had not heard about this matter yet.
"This is pure nonsense! Such a small matter has been brought to court. The Chi family has lost all face!"
No wonder when he was chatting with clients these past two days, they looked at him strangely, as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.
He took out his cell phone and called Chi Xuan, but no one answered after he called several times.
Chi Zhen put down his phone angrily, looked at Xu Rou coldly and said, "What a good daughter you have taught!"
Xu Rou's eyes flashed with disbelief, and then she gritted her teeth and said, "Chi Zhen, how can you say such things? Do you still have a conscience?! It was Chi Muzhen's company that plagiarized. Shouldn't Xuanxuan sue her company? Just because Huo Yunting likes Chi Muzhen now, you are trying to distort the truth to please Huo Yunting?!"
Chi Zhen sneered, "I'm too lazy to talk to you, go back to the Chi family before my patience runs out!"
After saying that, Chi Zhen left angrily.
Xu Rou took a deep breath, extremely disappointed with him, turned around and left the company.
When she arrived downstairs of Chi's building and was about to take a taxi, she suddenly realized that she had forgotten her cell phone in the lounge.
I suppressed my anger and went back. When I reached the top floor, I found that there was no secretary in the president's office. I guess he was in a meeting.
Xu Rou walked quickly to the lounge and was about to push open the door when she heard the panting sounds of a man and a woman coming from inside.
Her hand holding the door handle paused and she couldn't help frowning. Someone actually dared to do such a thing in the lounge in broad daylight. Chi Zhen's ability to manage the company was really getting worse and worse.
When Xu Rou was hesitating whether to push open the door or go to the office to find Chi Zhen, the voice from inside suddenly nailed her to the spot.
"Little devil! You're trying to drain me dry!"
"Ah Zhen, be gentle! Don't leave marks on your neck, others will notice."
"Wouldn't it be more exciting if I found out?"
The two people talking inside were Chi Zhen and Lin Jiaqi!
Xu Rou was shaking all over. She had been investigating who Chi Zhen's mistress was during this period, but she had never suspected Lin Jiaqi.
Because Lin Jiaqi was the daughter of a distant cousin of hers, it was she who introduced Lin Jiaqi to the Chi family.
According to seniority, Lin Jiaqi should call Chi Zhen uncle!
I didn't expect these two people to get involved with each other. Don't they find it disgusting?!
Xu Rou didn't know how she left the company. She really wanted to push open the door and give the couple a good scolding, but in the end she didn't have the courage.
What if this matter is really exposed?
Now that she is divorcing Chi Zhen, she gets nothing and she is unwilling to accept it!
She must secure her position as Mrs. Chi and will never let that bitch Lin Jiaqi take the position!
…
court.
The trial went smoothly. Jinxiu's lawyer quickly used the so-called "first draft" to prove that MY had plagiarized Jinxiu, and demanded that MY pay 50 million in compensation.
MY's lawyer was defeated at the beginning and was left speechless by Jinxiu's lawyer.
Chi Xuan sat in the audience with a smug smile on her face.
It seems that this lawsuit will go more smoothly than expected. The judge and jury all believe that the time of the design draft is real. As Huo Tianyi said, almost no one in the country can tell that the picture is synthesized.
She stood up and walked out of the court. Seeing Chi Zhen's missed call, she called back directly, but there was no answer on the other end.
Chi Xuan didn't call again and sent a message to Huo Tianyi.
The lawsuit went smoothly, and we can now prepare a celebration party.
She put away her phone, smiled and walked towards the car on the side of the road.
As soon as I reached the car, reporters swarmed over.
Chi Xuan gave what she thought was a perfect smile and was about to speak when the reporters bombarded her with sharp questions one after another.
"Ms. Chi, was it something you didn't expect Jinxiu to lose the lawsuit?"
"Ms. Chi, MY demands that Jinxiu publicly apologize and compensate MY for 50 million in losses. When are you going to make the compensation?"
"Ms. Chi, the online public opinion is all criticizing Jinxiu. Jinxiu's future will definitely be difficult. When you falsely accused MY of plagiarism, did you think about the consequences?"
As everyone asked questions one by one, the smile on Chi Xuan's face gradually turned cold. She frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can MY win?!"
Seeing the confidence in her eyes, a reporter scoffed, "Ms. Chi, you didn't leave without reading the verdict, did you? MY's lawyer finally submitted evidence proving that the so-called first draft picture provided by Jinxiu was a composite. The judge ruled in court that Jinxiu lost the case, and MY is also planning to sue Jinxiu later."
When Chi Xuan heard the word "synthesis", her face turned extremely pale and she gritted her teeth and said, "Impossible! This must be fake!"
Huo Tianyi had told her that no one would ever find out about this, so how could Jinxiu possibly lose?!
She was about to go back to the court to inquire about the trial results when her cell phone suddenly rang.
