Return of the Daughter: The Earl's Astronomically Valuable Wife

Chapter 56 Trial, Reversed Plot
In a blink of an eye, it was time for the court session. When Ruan Xin came to the court, she saw a lot of media reporters gathered outside, her gaze was slightly fixed, and then she opened the door and got out of the car.

When Ruan Xin got out of the car, she was immediately spotted by the media reporters guarding outside the court. They swarmed up, surrounded her, and asked questions in a hurry.

"Mr. Ruan, I heard that the accident was caused by the theft of steel from the construction site. Is this true?"

……

"Mr. Ruan, what do you think about this matter of your company?"

……

Ruan Xin faced the long guns and short guns in front of her without changing her face, and said calmly: "About this matter, the vice president of the company has always been in charge. I am not very clear about it. Thank you for your attention to the company. .” After speaking, under the escort of Night Wolf, he walked into the court quickly.

People in the media naturally wouldn't want to let Ruan Xin go so easily. After all, apart from Ruan's real estate, she also has another identity, the wife of the president of Lanxi Group. Ever since Lan En revealed her identity, she has no actual identity. After he moved, and there was no movement in the agreed branch, all the media in city A stared at him, but the number of times he appeared in the public eye was pitifully small, so as the wife of the president of Lanxi Group, Ruan Xin naturally became the target of the media.

Nalan Zhenqin, who had been waiting in the court early, saw Ruan Xin arrived, hurriedly got up and walked over, and whispered in her ear: "Ma'am, everything is ready."

"En!" Ruan Xinxu responded, walked over and sat on the sofa, and waited for the court session. After a while, Ye Rong also arrived. Nalan Zhenqin explained the matter.

Soon it was time for the trial, and she sat in the dock again after three years. Ruan Xin was in a very complicated mood. Three years ago, she sat here alone and accepted the trial. The despair in her heart almost drove her crazy. , and now, she sat in this position again, but she was no longer alone. She turned her head and glanced at Lan En and Jian Xi who were sitting in the auditorium. When she met their gaze, she couldn't help but smile.

She looked back at Ye Rong who was sitting beside her, opened her mouth and then closed it, she should not say anything, just wait and see the good show.

Ye Rong really didn't expect that the other party would really go to court with them. Looking at the lawyer who was preparing for the other party, Ye Rong suddenly became a little worried. She turned her head and glanced at Ruan Xin, who was calm beside her, her eyes flickered, and she turned around and bowed to the lawyer. spoke up.

The plaintiff, Qi Yunfeng, was pushed into the courtroom in a wheelchair, followed by a doctor and his family, with an IV drip wrapped around his hand and gauze wrapped around his hands. He looked unfit to appear in court. After all, it was only half a month since the accident happened. Being able to stay awake in a wheelchair is pretty good.

"Why are they like this? Everyone has become like this, and there is still a lawsuit!"

"Isn't that what rich people do? For their own benefit, how can they care about other people's lives!"

As soon as the plaintiff appeared, the audience immediately whispered to each other, and most of the words were accusations against Ruan's real estate.

bang bang bang...

"Silence!" The judge sat down on the trial bench, tapped the hammer and said with a solemn expression. After the entire courtroom became quiet, he announced: "The trial is now starting! Lawyers from both sides are invited to present their case."

As soon as the judge finished speaking, a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses sitting next to Qi Yunfeng stood up. After bowing to the judge, the jury and the audience, he said calmly, "Judge Your Excellencies, members of the jury, I am Zhong Youwei, the plaintiff’s defense lawyer. My client went to guard the steel at the construction site of Four Seasons Paradise, a high-end community developed by the defendant Fang Ruan’s Real Estate, on July 24th. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured by the collapsed steel. On the third day, my client’s son, Mr. Qi Jun, was severely injured when a group of unidentified people broke into his home. He is still in a coma. The party concerned, said that he was injured because of the steel material stolen from the Sijitiantang construction site, which caused the collapse and injury. The responsibility should be borne by my party, and the loss of my party's delay in the project and the reimbursement of treatment expenses during the hospitalization period should be investigated. My party believes that the defendant company intentionally misrepresented It is suspected of evading responsibility due to the facts, so I filed a lawsuit, hoping that the law can return justice to their family, Your Honor, I am done."

After Zhong Youwei finished his presentation, he bowed politely, then returned to his seat, waiting for the other party's statement.

Ruan Xin glanced at Ye Rong's expression indiscriminately, and found that she pursed her lips tightly, looking like she was ready to fight, and slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, her complexion did not change at all, and continued to watch from the sidelines.

After Zhong Youwei finished speaking, the capable woman who had been sitting next to Ye Rong stood up, bowed slightly to the judges and jury, and said, "Your Honor, all the jurors, I am Xiang Xin, defense lawyer for the defendant, just as lawyer Zhong stated As mentioned above, the plaintiff is not a worker at the Four Seasons Paradise construction site, and as far as my client knows, the plaintiff’s so-called guarding the steel for friends is purely false, and the person guarding the steel does not know the plaintiff at all. None of the workers knew the plaintiff, and the cause of the accident investigated by the Public Security Bureau has clearly stated that the reason why the stacked piles collapsed just now was because a lot of steel was removed from the middle, resulting in uneven force on the steel. And the collapse, since the plaintiff was not a worker on the construction site but appeared at the place where the steel was, my client has sufficient reasons to suspect that the plaintiff was trying to blackmail my client, Your Honor, I have finished my statement."

When Qi Yunfeng and his wife and daughter heard Xiang Xin's statement, they immediately yelled excitedly, saying that they had turned the truth upside down and sprayed people with blood. Become as lively as the vegetable market.

"Silence, silence!" The judge yelled solemnly while holding the hammer, and when everyone became quiet again, he looked at the defendant and said, "Defendant, do you have any evidence to prove what you have accused the plaintiff of?"

"Your Honor, we have witnesses!" Xiang Xin stood up, glanced at the other side's impassive lawyer, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, but she quickly ignored this uneasiness, and showed her professional ethics, Sitting on his duty dutifully, "Didn't the plaintiff say that he took care of the steel for a friend, right? That means, the person who originally took care of the steel was the plaintiff's friend, right?" While speaking, he looked at the other lawyer.

Zhong Youwei raised his hand and pushed his eyes, nodded calmly, "That's right!"

"Our witness is this worker who is in charge of guarding the steel. Your Honor, I submit a witness to appear in court." After receiving confirmation from the other party's lawyer, Xiang Xin immediately asked the judge to submit a witness to appear in court.

The judge raised his hand and knocked down the small hammer, nodded in agreement, "The defendant is invited to appear in court with witnesses."

A middle-aged man in his 40s who looked very honest walked up to the court, stood on the witness stand, and swore according to the judge's prompt, and then it was time for their own questions.

Ruan Xin looked at the witness without saying a word, and found that the eyes he looked at Qi Yunfeng's family were always flickering, showing an inexplicable guilt, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a strange arc. It has changed from being prepared just now to a determined smile, and an unpredictable smile flashed in Ruan Xin's eyes, the fun has just begun, I hope you can still laugh after a while.

Zhong Youwei has been quietly listening to the witness's statement, and at the same time calming down the excitement of the parties involved. When the witness finished speaking and the judge asked him if he needed to question the witness, he stood up unhurriedly and walked to the witness stand Standing still, looking at the witness, he said, "Mr. Chen, you said you don't know my client at all, right?"

"Yes!" The witness, Mr. Chen, replied somewhat without confidence.

"Thank you!" Zhong Youwei thanked him politely, and then said: "Mr. Chen, you have an eight-year-old daughter, right?"

"No, Your Honor, the issue of the plaintiff's lawyer has nothing to do with the case itself." As soon as Zhong Youwei finished speaking, Xiang Xin immediately raised an objection.

Zhong Youwei glanced at Xiang Xin indifferently, and before the judge could make a conclusion, he continued, "Your Honor, my question is directly related to the relationship between my client and the witness, and I ask the witness to answer my question. "

"The objection is invalid, and the witnesses are asked to answer the plaintiff's lawyer's questions." The judge made a final decision.

The witness, Mr. Chen, became nervous all of a sudden, and nodded awkwardly, "Yes, yes!"

Zhong Youwei then took out a photo and asked the witness, "Mr. Chen, is this your daughter?"

Mr. Chen glanced at the little girl in the photo, and then at the judge and Xiang Xin. Seeing that they didn't say anything, he nodded bravely, "Yes, it's my daughter!"

"Thank you!" Zhong Youwei thanked politely, then turned to salute the judge and said, "I'm done asking! Your Honor, we suspect that the witness may have committed perjury."

"I, I didn't!" Mr. Chen panicked when he heard Zhong Youwei's words.

"Silence! Does the plaintiff have any evidence?" The judge asked the plaintiff's lawyer with a solemn expression as he tapped the hammer.

"Of course!" Zhong Youwei nodded calmly, turned around and took a document bag, handed it to the judge, and said, "Your Honor, here is a group photo of the witness's wife, daughter and my client's family, as well as the recent bank address of the witness. Income details, Mr. Chen, I would like to ask how did your monthly salary of 3000 yuan earn [-] yuan in just a few days?"

As soon as Zhong Youwei's words came out, all the onlookers were in an uproar. Seeing the witnesses whose expressions suddenly became flustered and Ye Rong whose expression changed drastically, what else did they not understand?All of a sudden, condemnation came one after another, and Ruan Xin and the others sitting in the dock immediately became the target of public criticism.
