Chapter 168 Public Apology
Xu Youyou showed the police that she had no financial dealings with the murderer. She not only showed her bank account statements from the past few days, but also asked Xu Fang to release the recording.
That day, after she realized that her troublesome cousin might be eavesdropping, she immediately asked Xu Fang to record the conversation on her cell phone.
After the police looked at all the evidence, they nodded and said, "Ms. Xu, you are very well prepared. We can close the case directly."
Xu Youyou shook her head: "You guys close the case, I'm going to open a case here."
The police were stunned when they heard this.
Xu Youyou continued, "Such groundless suspicion makes me feel that my reputation has been greatly damaged. Officer, please give me a copy of the relevant materials of this case. My lawyer will handle the rest."
After Xu Youyou got the materials, she handed them directly to lawyer Feng Jing who had just arrived.
After listening to the whole story, Feng Jing immediately understood Xu Youyou's thoughts and whispered, "Boss, I have a little sister who is now doing legal cases popularization on the Internet as a self-media. She happens to be short of cases. Can she use your case as a case?"
Xu Youyou looked at Feng Jing deeply and finally understood why her team charged high fees. This man was indeed professional and understood what the employer was thinking.
The Gu family is not short of money, but once this matter is exposed, the Gu family will definitely lose its reputation, and what Gu Jianming and his wife care about most is the reputation of the Gu family.
Ordinary people may feel bad about spending an extra 90 million, but the Gu family, who claim to be a wealthy family, cannot show such cowardice. It is not decent for the Gu family to go to the police station for 90 million.
When Xu Youyou's lawyer's letter was delivered to the Gu family, no one in the Gu family took it seriously.
Mrs. Gu held the light lawyer's letter and laughed at Xu Youyou's naivety: "This girl is doing it in a decent manner, but who in the circle takes a lawyer's letter seriously?"
They ignored the lawyer's letter. After a while, the court notice was delivered and the Gu family paid some attention to it.
When Gu Jianming heard that it was for the villa where the murder was committed, he said casually, "It's not a big deal. If Xu Youyou wants to sue you, let her do it. The company's legal team will help you defend the case."
Gu Jianming rarely keeps his word. On the day of the lawsuit, he indeed sent a team of lawyers from his own company. Although they lost the case, the Gu family did not take it seriously since there was no financial loss after all.
Xu Youyou's request is for defamation compensation and she wants the reporter to apologize in public.
Gu Xueying naturally wouldn't do that.
It wasn’t long before the entry “The daughter of a well-known Shanghai entrepreneur falsely accused others but refused to apologize” became a hot search.
Clicking on the entry will lead to a video in which a legal blogger explains defamation litigation, directly using a freshly issued court judgment as an example.
Most of the comments below are just for fun.
"This stupid young lady from the Gu family just spent hundreds of millions to buy fake porcelain in the capital not long ago, and she didn't expect to make a fool of herself again when she returned to Shanghai."
"Didn't some people on the Internet brag about her before, saying that she was the most beautiful daughter of a wealthy family? Why did she only do stupid things?"
"This kind of person is actually Brother Shuangbai's biological sister? Can you please stop embarrassing yourself and stop holding our brother back!" The person who spoke was a fan of Gu Shuangbai.
"The Gu family likes to brag about being a billionaire family. Now we can see that they are indeed a wealthy family. However, looking at the IQ of the wife and daughter, we know that it will probably not last long."
Gu Jianming was furious at home because this matter was posted online: "Now all the partners in the company are asking me if this is true? How do you want me to answer? You are so stupid and irresponsible!"
He was cursing loudly now, but he had completely forgotten who was protecting Gu Xueying at the beginning.
Mrs. Gu whispered, "Hubby, as long as we play dead and deny it, the things on the Internet will be gone after a while. We don't need to take those people seriously."
Gu Jianming's eyes were fierce. "If it was just some rumors, it would be fine. But now, I have sent messages to several potential partners, but they all refused to accept the offer. This has affected our family's business, and now we are all finished!"
Mrs. Gu was also afraid that it would affect her business. If the company earned less money, her living standard would also decline.
She immediately changed her previous attitude of being fearless and grabbed her daughter and asked, "Is it too late to ask Xueying to apologize in public now?"
Gu Jianming didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he hoped Gu Xueying would take the initiative to step forward.
Gu Xueying's face was full of embarrassment. She was not the kind of young lady who had no proper career. She was now running the Gu family museum and had many fans on major social media platforms. She had also promoted herself online as the most beautiful daughter of a wealthy family.
Originally, she planned to rely on this reputation to secure a good marriage for herself.
Asking her to apologize to Xu Youyou in public would ruin all her hard work over the years, wouldn't it? How could she be willing to do that?
However, her way of survival in the Gu family is to please the Gu couple. If both of them give up on her, she really doesn’t know what to do.
She always played the role of a well-behaved and sensible daughter. Even if she was reluctant, she could only smile and say, "Don't worry, Mom and Dad. I will definitely handle this matter well."
Of course, Gu Xueying did not apologize publicly. The one who apologized publicly was her cousin who caused the trouble.
"I didn't expect that my angry call to the police would cause so much trouble to others. This was purely my personal behavior. I was young and hot-tempered. I didn't expect that my relatives would be involved..."
Xu Youyou casually glanced at the man's apology letter and knew that he was being pushed out to take the blame, but the heat about this matter on the Internet had already passed.
But whether Gu Xueying apologizes or not, the impact on the Gu family is real.
Xu Youyou did not continue to dwell on this matter. She and Liu Dazi were now sitting face to face.
Sometimes she finds it funny that she doesn't have a proper job, but her schedule is always full.
"Ms. Xu, let me tell you again, there is nothing that the Red Dragon King wants that he cannot get. You probably don't want everyone to be embarrassed, right?" Liu Dazi looked like he had something on Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou frowned slightly, and couldn't remember what evidence she had. The reason why she was willing to have a face-to-face meeting with Liu Dazi was very simple.
The hole in the secret room in the basement of the villa was repaired after a renovation team was hired urgently for several days. Now that the treasure was gone from the house, she had no plans to live in it, so there was no need to keep it. If the Red Dragon King wanted the villa, he could just buy it.
"I am willing to sell this house to the Red Dragon King. You can tell him this when you go back, and then you can report to him." Xu Youyou said.
