Reborn : Space Intelligent Woman

Chapter 1177: The Trial Began

Since Yu Qi had no intention of withdrawing the lawsuit, Chi Yuan was forced to go to court. She was accompanied by her lawyer, Li Zuanyuan. He was a middle-aged man who was quite famous in his field.

Grandma Wei used the Wei Family connection to hire him. Li Zuanyuan looked at his opposing lawyer, Ming Xuehai, a name that he did not recognize. So, the opposing lawyer was someone new in the field. He thought it would be an easy win. So, he accepted the case.

However, when he looked at the case, he was speechless. Then, he began to look up information on Ming Xuehai. It turned out that Ming Xuehai was an up-and-coming lawyer. He even won the case against a government lawyer.

Not to mention, Ming Xuehai has not lost any of his cases since he officially started his career. Facing this kind of opponent made his blood boil.

But he was no longer sure whether he could win this case. However, he had already been hired, therefore, he would give his 100% to win the case.

The time to go to court has been decided. It would be held at the city court at FINN City. Since Yu Qi was considered famous at the moment, a lot of reporters paid attention to her. When they caught the news on the trial, they wanted to know more about that.

However, the reporters were not allowed to go into the courtroom. Only certain people were allowed to enter the courtroom. Yu Qiʼs family members were allowed to watch the trial.

Grandpa Tang finally knew about the matter because Ming Yue asked Yu Qi about it in front of Grandpa Tang. Ming Yue forgot that her father-in-law did not know about it yet.

So, when Grandpa Tang heard the issue, he demanded for everyone tell him the whole story. So, Yu Qi ended up telling Grandpa Tang everything.

Grandpa Tang was furious when he found out that something like this happened to his beloved granddaughter. He told her that he would teach the woman a lesson.

Yu Qi smiled as she explained to Grandpa Tang that she had already brought a suit against the woman. And she was confident that she would win the trial. She had every evidence that would guarantee her a win.

So, Ming Yue and Grandpa Tang came to watch the trial. Others did not come due to work. Yu Qi did not mind it. Long Hui was also attending the trial. He had nothing to do. Everything could be handled by others.

As for Chi Yuan, her auntie, Li Cui, and Grandma Wei came to the trial to support Chi Yuan. Grandma Wei loved Chi Yuan so much. She was willing to come to this city for her.

Before entering the court, Grandma Wei saw Long Hui. She immediately approached Long Hui.

”Long Hui.” Grandma Wei called Long Hui.

Long Hui turned and saw his grandmother. ”What do you want?”

”Can you let Yuan-er go? If your fiancée won, Yuan-er ʼs reputation will go down the hill.” Grandma Wei said.

”So, it is okay for my fiancéʼs reputation to be ruined, then?” Long Hui returned a question to Grandma Wei.

”...”

Grandma Wei was speechless. She could not find the right word.

”Since she thinks she is innocent, why is she scared to undergo this trial?” Long Hui snorted.

”Well...” Grandma Wei wanted to say something, but she was mercilessly stopped by Long Hui.

”No need to tell me anything.” Long Hui left.

The trial began with the opening statement. Ming Xuehai stood up and gave his opening statement. It was powerful and deep. Then, it was Li Zuanyuanʼs turn. He did not lose to Ming Xuehai.

After that, Ming Xuehai brought in Li Yan as the first witness.

”Mr. Li Yan, are you the one in this picture?” Ming Xuehai asked.

The picture shown was the one where Yu Qi and Li Yan were having dinner together.

”Yes, I am.” Li Yan nodded.

”Can you explain what did you do on this day?” Ming Xuehai asked.

”Sure. Miss Tang is one of my clients. I am a project engineer for her building. That day, she came and did a site visit. We talked a lot regarding the project at the site. Before Miss Tang left, I invited her for lunch. I believe this picture was taken at that moment. After lunch, we went our separate ways.” Li Yan explained.

”How about this picture, Mr. Li Yan?” Ming Xuehai showed another picture to Li Yan.

The picture showed the two figures similar to Li Yan and Yu Qi entering a rundown hotel.𝘧𝓇𝙚𝑒we𝙗𝙣oѵ𝑒𝙡.𝐜o𝓂

”Is that you, Mr. Li?” Ming Xuehai asked.

”Of course not. I returned to the site after having lunch with Miss Tang. Everyone at the site can attest for me.” Li Yan said.

”Your honor, I have nothing further to ask Mr. Li Yan.” Ming Xuehai said to the judge.

The judge nodded and called Li Zuanyuan. Li Zuanyuan stood up and looked at Li Yan. Li Yan and Li Zuanyuan came from the same family. By right, Li Zuanyuan was Li Yanʼs relative. However, they were not close. They also only met once a year.

”Mr Li Yan, how did you know Miss Tang?” Li Zuanyuan asked.

”We knew each other when Miss Tang needed to build something. To be honest, it was the first time we met face to face. Usually, we contact each other via phone or email.” Li Yan said.

”Is that so?” Li Zuanyuan smiled.
