Chapter 442: Revenge
Gui Qing raised her eyes and glanced at Lin Di. "My relationship with Jiang Lu was very bad before?"
Lindy: “No, no.”
Gui Qing: "Why are you asking? Go to work."
Seeing that Gui Qing had no intention of answering, Lin Di tactfully stopped asking and quickly retreated, but the gossip flame in his heart burned more and more vigorously. This is human nature. The more you can't get the answer, the more anxious you become.
Unfortunately, Xu Yang, the person in the entire law firm who was most likely to know about this matter, went to court with Jiang Yuxu today. Lin Di couldn't find anyone to inquire about the news, which made her very upset.
After Lin Di left, Gui Qing continued to watch the live broadcast of the trial.
Jiang Yuxu has finished speaking, and now it is the defendant's lawyer's turn to defend.
The charges against Chen Xun have been proven to be irrefutable, and the main responsibility of his defense lawyer is to reduce his sentence.
This lawyer is also quite famous. He is the top lawyer in a large law firm. He is best at handling this type of case and has rich experience.
He was also older than Jiang Yuxu, but during the trial, he was beaten back by Jiang Yuxu and was left speechless several times.
Gui Qing clicked her tongue when she saw Jiang Yuxu's aggressive attitude.
Although I had imagined what he was like when he was in court, I was still surprised to see the live broadcast - after all, he is not good at quarreling in real life.
He was not the same person when he was in court and when she had nothing to say.
This case involved a wide range of aspects, not only economic but also criminal aspects, so the trial did not end until after twelve o'clock.
The first-instance verdict was announced in court. Chen Xun was involved in multiple crimes including embezzlement of public funds, illegal fundraising, smuggling, gambling, and hiring a killer to kill. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for multiple crimes.
In the first trial, Jiang Yuxu won beautifully.
It was only after Gui Qing watched the court trial that she gained a slightly more detailed understanding of the Shen family's affairs. She couldn't help but sigh that wealthy families were truly chaotic.
Even uncle and nephew can have such a quarrel over money.
Also, my nephew's ex-girlfriend actually married my uncle. After the marriage, my uncle was so cruel that he asked his wife to seduce my nephew and then hired someone to hit him.
It's so melodramatic, just like watching a TV drama.
After watching the live broadcast, Gui Qing went to the law firm cafeteria for lunch. During lunch, she received a message from Xu Yang in the work group, saying that the law firm was holding a celebration party for Jiang Yuxu that night and invited everyone in their team to attend.
Everyone replied "received" and said they would definitely go to show their support.
Gui Qing saw it but didn't reply.
In the morning, everyone basically watched the live broadcast of the case, and during lunch, everyone in the cafeteria was basically talking about it.
Lin Di and Gui Qing were sitting together, scrolling through the follow-up reports on their phones. On the screen was a picture of Shen Zheng and his wife, Lu Dai, walking out of the courthouse to be interviewed by reporters. Lu Dai was holding Shen Zheng's arm, and Shen Zheng's arm was draped around her waist. The two looked very well matched.
When they were being interviewed, Cen Sixue passed by. The sharp-eyed reporters saw her and immediately wanted to surround her.
These people always like to watch the fun and no matter how big the event.
After being blocked by reporters, Cen Sixue looked very unhappy. There was no one around her, she was isolated and helpless, and her thin figure looked a little pitiful.
In the end, Lu Dai stepped in front of her to help her out and had someone send her away.
"Oh my..." Seeing this, Lin Di couldn't help but sigh to Gui Qing: "Mrs. Shen is so generous."
Gui Qing also watched the video just now, but didn't feel anything. Lu Dai was a rich girl after all. Even if she didn't like Cen Sixue, she would definitely not show it in front of the media.
It has nothing to do with generosity.
Lin Di is a real gossip. He pulled Gui Qing aside to discuss: "Qing Gong, do you think Mr. Shen still likes his ex-girlfriend? I heard that he was completely devoted to her before-"
"Why don't you change your career and work in the entertainment industry? It's a waste of your talent to be a developer." Gui Qing interrupted her by waving her hand.
Lindy pouted, "Hey, let's have some fun after work~"
She changed the subject, "By the way, Assistant Xu just said in the group that he's going to hold a celebration party for Lawyer Jiang tonight. Do you want to go?"
Gui Qing: "If you all go, I'll go too."
Lindy raised her eyebrows, having a strong feeling that the thing she was curious about tonight might have an answer.
Gui Qing chatted with Lin Di for a while, and a WeChat message came in on her phone.
She picked it up casually and found it was sent by Jiang Yuxu.
Jiang Yuxu: [Are you coming to the celebration party tonight? I saw you didn't reply to the group message.]
Gui Qing: [So you are inviting me individually now?]
Jiang Yuxu: [Yes.]
Gui Qing: [Okay, then I'll give you a favor.]
Jiang Yuxu: [Thank you.]
Gui Qing: [I watched the live broadcast today. Jiang Lu is really good with his words [thumbs-up]. It seems he usually gives in to me.]
Jiang Yuxu: [You watched the live broadcast too? ]
Gui Qing: [The entire law firm is watching. It's hard not to.]
Jiang Yuxu: [I still need to take care of some things this afternoon. See you at the celebration party tonight.]
Gui Qing: [Who asked you?]
Jiang Yuxu: [I took the initiative to say it. I'm pursuing you, so I should have clearly informed you of my schedule.]
Gui Qing: [Strangely aware.]
Jiang Yuxu: [As long as you like it.]
Gui Qing did not continue to reply to him.
In the last few conversations, Jiang Yuxu always said the last sentence, which is completely the opposite of what happened before - oh no, it shouldn't even be said the other way around.
Before, the chat interface between her and Jiang Yuxu was basically all green, which were all messages she sent. Jiang Yuxu either read them but did not reply, or replied with an "oh", "hmm", or "received", without any extra punctuation marks.
The main theme is coldness.
Gui Qing has kept the chat records of the past two years. If you randomly select a date and click on it to take a look, you will see the screen full of messages sent by her. Looking back now, it really feels like her efforts have been met with disdain.
After flipping through the chat history for a while, Gui Qing was furious. She suddenly felt that she was still too polite to Jiang Yuxu and should follow his example and read the chat history without replying.
Tao Jiu was right. She was just a carefree and open-minded person. If she had met someone more fragile, she would have given up after being treated so coldly by Jiang Yuxu for a while. But she could actually persist for two years.
——
Jiang Yuxu won the lawsuit, and his colleagues at NV ordered a few bouquets of flowers for him as a celebratory gift.
Gui Qing originally wanted to buy him a gift, but after reading the chat history, she gave up the idea.
Gift? He must be receiving it in his dream.
The celebration banquet was scheduled at the Yihe Hotel near the law firm. Hengan booked a small banquet hall with a total of more than a dozen tables.
Gui Qing came here with Lin Di.
When the two of them walked to the door of the banquet hall, they happened to meet Jiang Yuxu.
As soon as Lin Di saw Jiang Yuxu, his gossipy spirit began to get restless, and his eyes rolled back and forth between the two of them.
Gui Qing glanced at Jiang Yuxu indifferently, as if she didn't know him.
Jiang Yuxu's face, which had been expressionless for thousands of years, showed surprise and confusion for the first time.
He seemed to be wondering why Gui Qing treated him like this.
Hmm...something's wrong.
