Chapter 236: Bah, the sour smell of love again
A few years ago, Bai Shengli experienced the feeling of being pointed at and criticized by neighbors, friends and classmates after being reported in the newspaper.
He didn't think that this kind of thing would happen to him again.
And it's coming even more violently than the last time.
At first, Bai Shengli just didn't dare to leave the school, for fear of encountering those reporters and media waiting outside the school.
Later on, he was afraid to leave the classroom, and finally he didn't even want to leave the dormitory.
Because no matter where he went, as long as there were crowds, there would be people looking at him strangely, then lowering their heads and pointing at him.
At this time, paper media is more developed and popular than in previous years.
땤Gu Qijiao runs a leading magazine that is ahead of all domestic media.
After being fully exposed by Shuangshi Magazine, Bai Shengli experienced a social death that made it difficult for him to move forward.
Gu Qijiao wanted to use this method to force Bai Shengli to see if the people behind him were prepared.
If those people had plans, they would definitely take action in the face of such great public pressure.
Unfortunately, before Gu Qijiao could wait for those people to take action, she got into trouble.
She submitted an article to the campus weekly to participate in the election, and was complained to the court on the grounds that Gu Qijiao plagiarized.
This article appeared in the magazine "굛月" published by Yenching Daily before it was published in the campus weekly.
The author of that article was not Jiaoyang Sihuo, but Xiaolu, another new and famous writer in the magazine "굛月".
Xiaolu not only sued Gu Qijiao, but also made a big accusation in the media that Gu Qijiao had taken advantage of her job to reject her manuscripts and took over her manuscripts while she was working at the original newspaper.
Apparently, the manuscript submitted by Gu Qijiao was leaked before it was published in the campus weekly.
The incident caused a lot of uproar in the city, but Gu Qijiao had no intention of coming forward to explain.
You should still go to class when you should go to class, and go to work when you should go to work.
She ignored everyone's gazes. She was confident and not afraid of any rumors.
She kept her composure and waited until the day of the court hearing.
This trial was conducted in public with the consent of both the plaintiff and the defendant, allowing the media to enter.
Xiaolu was well prepared. She brought a lawyer with her and held a large stack of documents. She sat in the dock with her eyes red from crying.
During the plaintiff's statement, Xiaolu did not say a word. Only her attorney spoke for her throughout the entire process. Xiaolu just cried, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
She prepared a large stack of information to prove the time and effort she spent on writing the article.
He also gave evidence that Xiaolu received the sample issue a full month earlier than Gu Qijiao's article was published in the campus weekly.
But at this time, Gu Qijiao's manuscript had only been handed in less than half a month.
This is enough to prove that someone at the Yanjing Daily was secretly doing something to help Xiaolu frame Gu Qijiao.
It turned out that Gu Qijiao had always guessed that Bai Shengli recognized her and maliciously leaked her manuscript.
However, given Bai Shengli's current situation, it is unlikely that he knows anyone from the Yanjing Daily, and that he can create a complete chain of evidence to frame Gu Qijiao in such a short time.
Bai Shengli does not have this ability.
He may have participated in this matter, but there must be another big hand that fanned the flames.
Compared with Xiaolu, Gu Qijiao's situation was much more monotonous. She appeared in court alone and didn't even hire a lawyer.
Zheng Yunsheng, who accompanied Gu Qijiao to the court session, sat in the audience below. He folded his arms and looked at Gu Qijiao with a calm look.
There's no sense of urgency at all.
Gu Qijiao opened her eyes wide and answered the questions raised by the other lawyer casually.
She waited patiently until she could ask Xiaolu a question.
At this moment, Gu Qijiao, who was sitting lazily in the dock, suddenly perked up.
She raised her lips slightly, stood up from her seat with a mocking look on her face, and spoke with a slightly oppressive tone:
"I just want to ask the plaintiff a question."
After getting the judge's approval, Gu Qijiao asked her first question:
"Excuse me, Xiaolu, the first two lines of the article you wrote are poems. I would like to ask if there is any special meaning when you put these two lines together?"
Xiaolu flipped through the manuscript with a confused look on his face and glanced at the first two sentences of the article:
"The brocade clothes and silk sleeves chase the spring breeze, while the chrysanthemums in the front fence carry the autumn wind."
These are two lines of poetry.
The pile of information Xiaolu prepared was just to find out the meaning of these two lines of poetry. She explained it to Gu Qijiao haltingly.
Finally, he added: "As for special meaning, there is none, I just think their artistic conception is suitable to be put together."
Xiaolu's explanation of the sentence was quite correct, but what she didn't expect was that Gu Qijiao put these two lines of poetry together, which had nothing to do with the artistic conception. It was completely put together out of personal emotion. She gave her own explanation to the judge:
"Your Honor, I didn't actually think about whether the two sentences at the beginning of the article were appropriate. I wrote them this way only because my son's name is Jin'an."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was in an uproar.
Xiaolu's eyes were red from crying and her face was now pale.
She studied it carefully for many days, trying to figure out the meaning of Gu Qijiao putting these two unrelated verses together, but she never got to the bottom of it.
Only now did she realize that Gu Qijiao had simply put her son's name at the beginning of the article.
At this point, everyone in the court has more or less figured out who the real original author is.
But Gu Qijiao didn't stop there. She said she wanted to ask a question, so she quickly asked her second question.
The pressure in her voice became stronger. She locked her eyes tightly on Xiaolu's red rabbit eyes and opened her red lips slightly:
"My second question is, what is the reason for putting the last two lines of poetry together?"
At this moment, after listening to Gu Qijiao's words, Zheng Yunsheng, who was in the audience, subconsciously turned the article in his hand to check the last line of the poem.
Gu Qijiao told Zheng Yunsheng that she was confident that she could easily win the case in court.
It was just that Gu Qijiao did not explain clearly how she won the case and kept it a secret, so Zheng Yunsheng didn't know.
When he opened the school magazine in his hand and moved his eyes to the end of the article, an obvious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, Xiaolu has already read the poem at the end of the article:
"I love the mountains and ride into the mountains
Detective Zheng Feng will pay off his wine debt
Yunfeng rises to welcome the emperor
"The rising smoke lingers around Wangchun Terrace"
She still tried to explain it using the materials in the documentation.
But this time, Gu Qijiao didn't have the patience to listen to her nonsense. She directly faced the judge and gave the answer:
"Your Honor, my wife's name is Zheng Yunsheng. The following line of poetry is a hidden poem in which I confess my love for my wife. The first two words together..."
At the end, Gu Qijiao raised her eyebrows and looked at Zheng Yunsheng who was sitting in the audience and looking at her with a smug look on his face.
Gu Qijiao didn't need to say anything else.
The entire courtroom was now surrounded by the sour smell of love.
The reporters were a little frozen for a moment. Please, please, they are here to report news, not to eat dog food.
These two questions have already made that little green face turn green, but Gu Qijiao has no intention of stopping at all. The smile on her lips has been stretched to the maximum:
"Then, plaintiff Xiaolu, I have one last question to ask!"
