Gu Yanran looked at the man on the big screen with distinct three-dimensional features and unique handsomeness in disbelief. —He broke her restraining order like this? !
Why didn't this man die abroad? !
At this moment, she deeply regretted not having done with him when they were in Barbados...
But how could she know that this man who was once devoted to her would turn against her? !
In fact, it is better to do it in the United States.
It's a pity that He Zhichu was miscalculated.
If it weren't for He Zhichu's sudden attack, Ye Xuan would have died long ago...
Gu Yanran thought deeply, her eyes involuntarily wandering around the courtroom.
Only then did she realize that not only Huo Shaoheng didn't come, but He Zhichu didn't come either!
It seemed that Gu Nianzhi had really broken up with Huo Shaoheng.
However, although Huo Shaoheng did not come in person, he sent one of his right-hand men, Yin Shixiong, to come and observe.
But at the beginning of He, no one was sent over.
There were only a few people on Gu Nianzhi's side, and she could almost call them by name.
Secretary Cao, Admiral Ji's life secretary, Special Assistant Yang, a subordinate of Speaker Long, Gu Nianzhi's roommate Ma Qiqi, and Yin Shixiong, these were the only ones, not more.
But on his side, there was a large group of people.
It seemed that Gu Nianzhi's position was not so stable.
Gu Yanran raised the corners of her lips and suddenly smiled.
After the judge verified Ye Xuan's identity, he said to Gu Nianzhi: "Plaintiff, you can ask your new witness."
Gu Nianzhi bowed slightly, thanked the judge, put the Bluetooth headset given to her by the bailiff on her ears, and started talking to Ye Xuan.
"Ye Xuan, can you hear me?"
"Hey, Lawyer Gu, hello." Ye Xuan's voice is a typical baritone. He grew up abroad and learned Chinese in a Chinese school abroad. Although he speaks fluently, his pronunciation is not very good. Standard, with a bit of the slowness of foreigners speaking Chinese.
"Hello." Gu Nianzhi picked up the list of questions he made and began his first round of questioning, "Ye Xuan, please tell me about your relationship with the Gu family."
Gu Yanran's heart suddenly sank.
She thought Gu Nianzhi was going to ask Ye Xuan how he obtained the Gu family's property list, and she was already ready to scold Ye Xuan for cheating, having no professional ethics, and leaking the employer's financial status to people other than his employer.
Unexpectedly, Gu Nianzhi did not take the usual path and did not ask about the property list at all. Instead, he acted as if he was going to pull up the dragon gate array and kept going.
Jin Wanyi also understood Gu Nianzhi's intention, smiled slightly, raised her hand and said, "Objection. The question asked by the plaintiff has nothing to do with this case. Please don't go around in circles and waste everyone's precious time."
Gu Nianzhi immediately said to the judge: "Your honor, I will soon prove that my problem is closely related to this case."
The judge thought for a while, lowered his head and made a note on the paper, saying: "Please prove as soon as possible that your question is related to this case."
Gu Nianzhi nodded and motioned for Ye Xuan on the big screen to answer her question.
Ye Xuan coughed lightly and looked at the camera. The expression on his face was stunned for a moment, as if he was lost in memories.
After a while, a clear baritone voice came out from the court's stereo surround sound system. The effect was great, and the sound effect was as lifelike as if he himself was standing in the courtroom and speaking.
"...I am an orphan in Barbados. I have grown up in an orphanage in Barbados since I was sensible. When I was seven years old, Mr. Gu Xiangwen selected me from the orphanage and hired a specialized teacher to teach me. Various basic skills, and after three years, I was sent to boarding school in the United States. I studied for eight years. Later, when I found out that something happened to Mr. Gu, I came back from the United States to help Miss Gu Yanran manage the Gu family's assets."
Ye Xuan spoke in general terms and did not go into the details.
Gu Yanran breathed a sigh of relief, secretly hoping that Ye Xuan could still take care of some old feelings...
It's a pity that even if Ye Xuan didn't take the initiative to say it, Gu Nianzhi would not miss this opportunity.
She had decided to show no mercy to Gu Yanran, so why would she care if it would ruin her reputation? !
After Ye Xuan finished speaking, Gu Nianzhi stood in front of the big screen and continued to ask: "You said that Mr. Gu Xiangwen picked you in the orphanage when you were seven years old. Do you know why he picked you? , not someone else?"
This question is somewhat acute.
Gu Yanran clenched her fists, and her palms became sweaty.
Ye Xuan was silent for a while, looked at the camera and smiled slowly, "You may not believe it, but when Mr. Gu Xiangwen chose me, it was not because of anything special about me, but purely because of you, Miss Gu Nianzhi. "
Gu Nianzhi said "Oh" and his dark eyes flashed, "Why is this? When you were seven years old, I was only four years old. What kind of control could I have done?"
No one takes a four-year-old's words seriously.
Ye Xuan smiled at this time, his profound facial features bloomed with a moving look, and his tone became more charming: "... But Mr. Gu is different. In his heart, no matter how young Miss Gu Nianzhi is, he will listen to her attentively , agreed to all her requests. At that time, I was selected just because Miss Gu Nianzhi took a fancy to me and pointed at me in the crowd. "
Gu Nian was stunned for a moment.
She didn't expect this to be the reason.
Ye Xuan never mentioned this past event in the materials he gave her.
Gu Yanran was trembling with anger in the dock, her lips trembled and she murmured a sentence through her teeth: "...Shameless! That's obviously me!"
Jin Wanyi's heart moved, and she leaned into Gu Yanran's ear and asked: "...You said you were the one who had a crush on Ye Xuan when you were a child? Not Gu Nianzhi?"
"Of course not her." Gu Yanran hid the panic in her eyes, "I am my father's biological daughter, how could he listen to an adopted daughter?"
"Really? What evidence do you have?" Jin Wanyi continued to ask.
Gu Yanran thought for a while, then lowered her voice and said, "Ask Ye Xuan, what was the name of that little girl at that time..."
Jin Wanyi was stunned for a moment, and Gu Yanran leaned into her ear again and whispered something.
As if she had found a treasure, Jin Wanyi stood up without raising her hand and asked: "Mr. Ye Xuan, what was the name of that little girl at that time?"
Ye Xuan was slightly taken aback, "...My name is Gu Nianzhi."
"How did you know? Mr. Gu Xiangwen personally told you that the little girl's name was Gu Nianzhi?" Jin Wanyi suddenly asked such a strange question.
Gu Nianzhi originally wanted to stop Jin Wanyi from speaking because it was the time for the plaintiff to cross-examine witnesses.
But Jin Wanyi was aggressive and happened to ask one of Gu Nianzhi's doubts, so she did not stop her questioning.
Ye Xuan's eyes turned to Gu Yanran who was sitting next to Jin Wanyi.
His eyes without any emotion stayed on her face for a while, and Ye Xuan said slowly: "... No."
"Then how do you know that the little girl is Gu Nianzhi? and not someone else?" Jin Wanyi became even more excited, "Also, how did you know that the little girl was four years old at that time? Not some other age?"
Ye Xuan pursed his lips and said nothing for a while.
"Then can I deduce that you actually don't know that little girl's name or how old she is? Others asked you to tell them, right?!" Jin Wanyi asked, blatantly talking about Gu Nian He colluded with Ye Xuan to give false testimony.
The fact is that these words are indeed Ye Xuan's one-sided words.
Gu Nianzhi also asked at this time: "Lawyer Jin is right. Ye Xuan, how did you know that little girl's name in the first place? If Mr. Gu Xiangwen didn't tell you it himself?"
However, when Jin Wanyi asked the same question, she looked like she was finding fault.
But when Gu Nianzhi asked, his tone was gentle as if he was checking for any gaps.
Different ways of speaking give people different feelings.
Ye Xuan finally cheered up, thought for a moment, and said: "... Although Mr. Gu Xiangwen didn't tell me personally that the little girl was called Gu Nianzhi, he did say that her name was Cereus. I later found out that this was Miss Gu Nianzhi. English name. So it is reasonable to infer that the little girl is Miss Gu Nianzhi, and she is of the same age."
"That means you actually don't know who that little girl is. You're just guessing, right?" Jin Wanyi pressed forward step by step, asking very sharp questions.
Although Ye Xuan didn't want to admit it, it was true. He had deduced not long ago that the little girl was Gu Nianzhi, not Gu Yanran...
Seeing that Ye Xuan stopped talking, Jin Wanyi said to the judge with a victorious expression: "Your Honor, the truth is that the person who followed Mr. Gu Xiangwen to the orphanage to select Ye Xuan was not Gu Nianzhi, but my client Gu Yanran .Cereus was originally the English name of my client Gu Yanran when she was a child. But later my client didn’t like this name, so she changed it to Jasmine, and gave the English name Ceresus to Gu Nianzhi, the adopted daughter who was later adopted by Mr. Gu. That’s why there is night. Mr.
As soon as she finished speaking, there was an uproar in the courtroom.
Did Ye Xuan accidentally admit the wrong person, or did he conspire with Gu Nianzhi to confuse the public? !
Even the judge looked a little unhappy.
He looked at Ye Xuan on the big screen coldly and said: "Mr. Ye, as a witness, you must ensure that everything you say is true, and you can only tell the truth. If you cannot do this, not only will you not be able to testify, and may also commit the felony offenses of giving false testimony and obstructing justice.”
Gu Yanran breathed a sigh of relief, and her already rickety back straightened again.
She looked at Gu Nianzhi with a smile and loosened her grip.
It depends on how you deal with it...
Gu Nianzhi's mind just now was completely occupied by what Ye Xuan said about Gu Xiangwen.
How could I forget such a good father
Gu Nianzhi hated his amnesia more than ever at this moment.
She composed herself, nodded to the embarrassed Ye Xuan on the big screen, and said calmly: "Thank you Ye Xuan, I believe your testimony is true. But..."
She changed the topic and turned to look at Gu Yanran and Jin Wanyi who were sitting in the defendant's box. "Lawyer Jin's questions are reasonable. However, I disagree with the explanation given by Lawyer Jin."
"Of course you won't admit it." Jin Wanyi smiled brightly, "It's hard to find a witness, how can we not use it all? It's a pity that God does not follow people's wishes."
Gu Nianzhi walked up to Jin Wanyi, with his hands behind his back, his posture upright, and his bright black eyes flickering, making people involuntarily indulge in it.
She asked: "Lawyer Jin, you said that Gu Yanran once changed her English name. Do you have any evidence?"
Jin Wanyi's smile froze for a moment, and she quickly glanced at Gu Yanran.
This is what Gu Yanran told her just now. Where is the evidence
Gu Yanran immediately said: "I was still young at that time, and my English name was originally my nickname. I don't know what evidence you want."
That's right, the name on Gu Yanran's passport is Yanran-Ku, not Jasmine-Ku.
Moreover, no one in the Gu family knows about these past events.
"Oh, it turns out it's just a baseless nickname. Miss Gu Yanran is really good at it. She is really used to taking other people's things as her own. Now she even doesn't let go of my English name." Gu Nianzhi sneered and raised her hands. He closed his palm and said, "Okay, let's just assume that the English name Cereus was originally your English name. Then tell me, at what age did you decide to change your English name to Jasmine?"
Gu Yanran frowned and thought quickly in her mind. She was afraid that she would be criticized by Gu Nianzhi if she said something wrong, so she said vaguely: "...it's been so many years, how can I remember?"
"Huh? You don't remember when you changed your name, but do you remember that you went to the orphanage and picked Ye Xuan when you were four years old? - Do you have selective amnesia?" Gu Nianzhi asked again: "Besides, you were four years old Ye Xuan was only one year old when you were there, right? Gu Yanran, have you forgotten that you are three years older than Ye Xuan, not three years younger than him? "
Gu Yanran blushed, clutched the edge of the table in front of her with her hands, and said through gritted teeth: "The first time I met Ye Xuan, I wasn't four years old! It was seven years old! I was so young that he thought I was Four years old, actually I am already seven years old!”
"Tsk, tsk, there is still a big difference between a seven-year-old and a four-year-old. May I ask you, Miss Gu Yanran, why do you look like a four-year-old when you are seven? Is it because you are stunted? You don't have enough to eat, you don't have enough clothes, you don't have enough warmth, you get sick and you don't have money for treatment?" Gu Nianzhi was very articulate and didn't give Gu Yanran a chance to think at all.
Gu Yanran only wanted to round out her words, and since she was indeed stunted as a child and was much smaller than the average child, she said without hesitation: "... Of course, you can only eat one meal a day, so you can't." He won’t grow up!”
As soon as the words came out, she knew something was wrong and immediately covered her mouth with the back of her hand.
Gu Nianzhi looked calm and said solemnly: "A seven-year-old child is only fed one meal a day? Miss Gu Yanran, the defendant, I remember that you kept saying that you were Mr. Gu Xiangwen's biological daughter, and you always claimed that your father loved you the most. Biological daughter. - With Mr. Gu Xiangwen’s wealth, he only gives you one meal a day?! Is he abusing you?! Or are you talking nonsense! Insulting the public’s IQ! Contempt of court!”
Gu Yanran's face turned blue and red for a moment, then turned purple again, and her eyes bulged out with anger.
