The judge glanced at the group of people, looking a little unhappy, as if he was disturbed.
Among that group of people was Ji Chensi, whom Xiao Ru mentioned. He sat quietly on one side of the table with his legs crossed, looking both elegant and noble.
His appearance startled Xiao Xiao who was sitting in the plaintiff's seat, and then their eyes met, in silence like water.
After not seeing him for just a few days, he had lost some weight, but was still as charming as ever. Xiao Xiao's eyes fell on him and could not be moved away for a long time. She stared at him for a long time as if she wanted to engrave his face in her heart.
In the dock, Xiao Ru saw Ji Chensi appear and trembled with fear. She still remembered Ji Chensi's threats yesterday and thought he would not show up today. But even if he came, what would it matter? She had finally managed to defeat Xiao Xiao in one fell swoop. She would never give up after hearing a few threats from him! She wanted Xiao Xiao to die! She wanted that bitch to know how powerful she was!
"Ms. Xiao Ru, you haven't finished what you were saying just now. Please continue." The lawyer said.
Xiao Ru came back to his senses and said, "Yesterday, Master Chen Si came to the prison and threatened me, forcing me to tell the public about Xiao Xiao. She said Xiao Xiao is a big star and my sister, and asked me to think about her and not harm her, otherwise he would not let me go."
"Actually, Xiao Xiao is my biological sister, and everyone knows about it. If possible, I would like to keep these words to myself, but Xiao Xiao really went too far. Her parents raised her for more than 20 years, and in the end, she made her parents kneel at the door for an entire afternoon..." As she spoke, the lawyer played several photos of the Xiao couple kneeling at the gate of Yiyuan on the big screen.
The lawyer asked her, "Ms. Xiao Ru, is this the photo?"
Xiao Ru took a look and nodded, "This is it. So, Your Honor, how can what I said be considered defamation? This is clearly what she did, and she did give birth to a child at the age of 20."
Lawyer: "But the Internet says that the child was born when Miss Xiao Xiao was 20 years old and Mr. Ji Chensi fell in love."
Xiao Ru said: "They are simply lying. When Xiao Xiao was pregnant, she had a boyfriend named Du Zian, not Ji Chensi at all. If you don't believe me, you can ask Du Zian. I have his number. At that time, Xiao Xiao obviously had a boyfriend and lived in his house, but she accidentally got someone else's child. If this is not promiscuity, what is it? If you think it's not, then I have nothing to say, but I personally think that having a boyfriend and living together, but getting pregnant with someone else's child is a disgusting thing, because it is equivalent to cheating and infidelity!"
After listening to this, the lawyer turned around and asked Xiao Xiao, "Ms. Xiao Xiao, is what my client said true?"
Xiao Xiao said: "What happened at that time was actually..."
The lawyer interrupted her and said, "You just need to answer, yes or no? Is it true that you got pregnant with someone else's child while you had a boyfriend?"
Xiao Xiao looked tired, "Yes."
The whole audience was in an uproar. The lawyer turned around, looked at everyone in the room, and said, "So my client is not guilty of defamation at all. What she said is completely true. On the contrary, it was Miss Xiao Xiao who, because she is a big star and is afraid of having her reputation tarnished, sent someone to jail to threaten my client. This is the most heinous crime."
Hearing this, Su Yi turned around and asked Ji Chensi, "Hey, did you really go to the prison to threaten her yesterday?"
Ji Chensi hummed, not nervous at all, "It's okay, just let her talk. The more she talks, the faster she will die."
"Oh?" Su Yi raised an eyebrow. "So you went to the prison to see her yesterday, not to threaten her, but to set a trap?"
"Why else would she be so desperate?"
Su Yi smiled, "Then it's up to you later."
Ji Chensi glanced at Xiao Xiao in the distance. The silly girl didn't know what he was going to do next and was looking at him with worried eyes.
Ji Chensi, Ji Chensi, why are you so stupid? This is a matter between Xiao Ru and me, why have you got involved? You even threatened her yesterday, and now they have even more evidence against you.
At this time, Xiao Xiao's lawyer, a female lawyer, had come to the scene. She turned her head, looked at Xiao Ru calmly, and asked softly, "Ms. Xiao Ru, I want to ask, why did you go to jail?"
Xiao Ru's expression changed, "This doesn't seem to be related to this case."
After she finished speaking, the male lawyer also stood up and said, "Protest, protest against the other lawyer asking questions that have nothing to do with this case."
The female lawyer said slowly: "I protest too. The questions I asked are definitely related to this case."
The judge glanced at the two of them and said, "The protest is invalid. Ms. Xiao Ru, please answer the question."
Xiao Ru pursed her lips and said hesitantly, "It was because Xiao Xiao was not satisfied with me that she sent me to prison. My parents knelt at the gate of Yiyuan to beg her to let me go. They knelt there for an entire afternoon. It's pitiful that parents in the world kneel in front of another child for their own sake, but this person was completely indifferent and watched his elderly parents kneel like that..."
Xiao Ru started to use moral blackmail again.
The female lawyer asked: "Ms. Xiao Ru, you don't need to say so much. Just tell me clearly why you were sent to prison."
Xiao Ru frowned, "Didn't I say it? It's because Xiao Xiao doesn't like me."
Female lawyer: "Then why does she dislike you?"
Xiao Ru glared at the other person, "I don't need to answer you for this, right?"
The female lawyer smiled and said, "Sorry, this answer is related to this case, so please answer it."
Xiao Ru finally couldn't answer.
The scene was silent.
The female lawyer said word by word, "Since Miss Xiao Ru can't answer, let me answer for her. The reason why Miss Xiao Ru was sent to prison is because she threatened my client's life. She wanted to be a star, but no scouts took a fancy to her, so she asked my client to give her money to attend training classes. As a result, due to disagreements, my client decided not to support her schooling anymore and let her be self-reliant. But this Miss Xiao Ru felt that my client was sorry for her, so she brought two thugs to my client's home that day. At that time, there were only Miss Xiao Xiao and her nanny at home. As soon as Miss Xiao Ru entered the door, she pushed the nanny to the ground, and then she and her two accomplices pressed my client on the sofa, took a fruit knife, and threatened to scratch my client's face so that she would never be a star in the future."
After that, a short video was put on the screen. It was the scene where Xiao Ru was holding a knife and trying to cut Xiao Xiao's cheek.
After the movie was over, there was a dead silence for a few seconds, and then everyone started talking.
"Wow! No wonder Xiao Xiao wanted to send her to prison. If she didn't, she would be the one to die sooner or later."
"Yeah, and her friends all dress like that, and you can tell at a glance that they are little gangsters."
"Look, she was still pinching her neck. She was too cruel to her own sister."
Hearing these discussions, Xiao Ru immediately became restless and yelled at the audience in the back, "Don't take my words out of context if you don't know what happened. She was the one who bullied me first, and I didn't slander her at all. Everything I said just now is true. She is nothing but a peripheral girl!"
"Quiet! Everyone, be quiet!" The judge couldn't bear it any longer and pounded the gavel in his hand a few times.
The whole place fell silent immediately.
The female lawyer continued, "Ms. Xiao Ru, this is enough to prove that the reason you went to jail was not just because Miss Xiao Xiao disliked you, but because you wanted to kill her. Miss Xiao Xiao did this just to protect herself. This also explains why your parents knelt outside the gate because of you, not because Miss Xiao Xiao was unfilial."
Xiao Ru snorted coldly, "That day she deliberately stopped paying my tuition and drove me away, so of course I was angry. When I get angry I may lose my rationality, but I didn't hurt her in the end, did I? This is just attempted harm. You heard it, I only said I wanted to scratch her face, I didn't say I wanted to kill her, right? Besides, this doesn't mean anything. Everything she did was true, how could I slander her."
"I have something to say!" In order to prevent Xiao Ru from talking too much, the male lawyer quickly stood up to stop her from continuing, "I am protesting against the other lawyer for always picking up an irrelevant matter to disturb my client's mood. This is a defamation case. As long as my client has not done anything defamatory, the charge is not established."
