Wen Shouyi secretly took a deep breath. The dress around her waist hurt a little, but it made her more awake.
Her tone was gentle and natural as she said, "How familiar are we? How should I put it? At that time, you were the high and mighty little princess of the He family, and I was just the gardener's daughter. I was six years older than you. Our circles were different to begin with, and we didn't have many opportunities to communicate. "
Wen Shouyi smiled pleasantly. "But you're very doted on in the He family. Children of servants like us are told by our parents to respect you and take care of you, so we have no choice but to get familiar with you."
During those years, she quietly watched the little girl grow up by Mrs. He, Mr. He, and Young Master He's side. At first, she only dared to hide under the table to look at people, but later, she became arrogant, willful, and arrogant.
Six years wasn't long, but it wasn't short either.
It was hard to say what kind of mood she was in facing this little girl.
Her studies, which she had once been proud of, and her genius intelligence, were nothing in front of this little girl.
This little girl only went to class one day a week and spent the rest of the time playing. However, by the time she was 12 years old, she had already finished all the high school courses and passed the national high school graduation exam with high scores. She had also received interview invitations from several Ivy League universities in the United States.
If it hadn't been for that accident, she would have participated in the interview at Harvard University in the United States after her 12th birthday and tried to enter the university early.
It could be said that if it hadn't been for what happened later, Gu Nianzhi's achievements might have been even greater than they were now.
Wen Shouyi suppressed the indignation in her heart and continued, "We were forced to get to know you because we didn't want to upset you or offend you. We weren't born as well as you, so we had to listen to others to protect ourselves. "
When Wen Shouyi said this, Gu Nianzhi could clearly feel the two judges next to the judge in the courtroom looking sympathetic.
Human nature always tended to favor the weak.
Therefore, Gu Nianzhi couldn't let her continue pretending to be pitiful.
"Really? In other words, you've been observing and studying me in a place that I don't know about, right? "
Wen Shouyi paused and shook her head. "I'm not studying you. I'm just paying attention to you to avoid provoking you."
That was why she said she was very familiar with her, but Gu Nianzhi knew nothing about Wen Shouyi.
"Oh." Gu Nianzhi nodded and smiled. "So you know me very well, don't you? Because you need to pay special attention to me and understand everything about me. Only then can you avoid offending me. "
"You can say that." Although Wen Shouyi didn't want to admit it, she didn't refute it.
"So that means you've been following me for six years, right?" Gu Nianzhi asked with a smile.
Wen Shouyi frowned slightly and said, "Aren't you repeating the question? Didn't you just say that? "
"You only need to answer yes or no." Gu Nianzhi's voice gradually cooled.
Wen Shouyi nodded reluctantly. "Yes."
"Alright, you've been paying attention to me for six years. It can be said that you've been observing me all the time, so you should be very familiar with my every move and word, right? They say that the people who understand you the most are not your family or your friends, but your enemies. I believe it now. "Gu Nianzhi smiled slyly.
Wen Shouyi's heart skipped a beat.
Gu Nianzhi didn't wait for her to answer. She immediately continued, "But you keep saying that you pay special attention to me and know my words and actions very well. But under the streetlight at night, you saw my back and didn't recognize that little girl as me? Does this meet the conditions of a pitiful survival you just mentioned? "
In Wen Shouyi's explanation just now, she had no choice but to pay attention to Gu Nianzhi. She had no choice but to be very familiar with her in order to avoid offending her without knowing.
If she really knew Gu Nianzhi that well, then she would be able to recognize Gu Nianzhi just by seeing her back. She would even be able to know that it was her just by hearing her words.
But she had just denied that she didn't recognize who the little girl was.
Gu Nianzhi had one hand behind her back and the other tapping on the table in the dock. She smiled. "So lawyer Wen, why did you say such contradictory things to divert everyone's attention?"
"You said that you only saw her back and didn't know who the little girl was."
"You also said that you paid special attention to me for six years because you were worried about offending me, so you had to be very familiar with me."
"Is this your attitude of reverence towards me? You're so familiar with me, but you can't recognize me at a glance. " Gu Nianzhi leaned forward, and her expression suddenly turned stern. "Or you're actually lying. Either you've never really paid attention to me, and the He family didn't ask you to be respectful to me and not offend me. Or, the little girl you saw that night wasn't me at all! "
Wen Shouyi bit her lower lip and frowned as she thought about Gu Nianzhi's words. She said, "It was too dark at the time. To be cautious, I didn't say anything I wasn't confident. What's wrong with that?"
"Really? What other confidence do you need? " Gu Nianzhi smiled and tossed out the testimonies of the other two passers-by. "But these two passers-by have never seen me before, but they were actually able to find my photo based on the little girl's back and side profile."
"If even strangers can tell that the little girl is me, then you, Wen Shouyi, who claims to have paid special attention to me for six years and is afraid of offending me, actually didn't recognize me?! This is neither logical nor common sense. "
Wen Shouyi pursed her lips and insisted on her statement. "I'm sorry, I really don't have 100% confidence that the little girl is you, so I won't say who she is, because I really don't know."
"So cautious?" Gu Nianzhi tilted her head and suddenly clapped at Wen Shouyi. "Miss Wen is indeed a great lawyer. You really know that you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
"Because everything you say will be used as evidence in court."
She actually suddenly praised Wen Shouyi.
This wasn't right.
Not only Wen Shouyi, but even Jin Wanyi became nervous.
What card was Gu Nianzhi going to play?
Lu Yuan and Lu Jin, who were sitting in the gallery, also sat up straight and listened attentively.
They were most afraid that the air would suddenly quiet down.
The courtroom was silent for a moment, and the pressure was like a mountain.
Gu Nianzhi opened a folder on her laptop and clicked on a picture.
In the picture was a Caucasian man in a floral Hawaiian shirt and shorts. He was standing under a palm tree, smiling and talking to a girl.
Gu Nianzhi pointed at the man's profile on the big screen with a laser pointer and said, "Everyone, please look at this picture. Do you recognize who this is?"
The people in the courtroom looked at each other, but no one answered.
Gu Nianzhi looked around and her gaze fell on Wen Shouyi and Jin Wanyi. She said, "Lawyer Jin, why don't you tell us who this man is?"
Jin Wanyi pursed her lips and said, "That's too obvious. This man is the American movie star, Leon. "
"Are you sure?" Gu Nianzhi clicked the mouse again, and the picture was enlarged. It was a real high-definition picture, and she could even see the tiny golden hair on the person's face.
"Of course I'm sure. This person is too popular. There are large photos of him all over the streets and alleys. Even people who don't follow celebrities know him. " Jin Wanyi was impatient. She glanced at the judge and said, "Lawyer Gu, does this have anything to do with this case?"
However, this time, the judge didn't speak. Instead, he looked thoughtfully at the photo on the big screen.
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "Yes, it's amazing to be able to recognize that he's the famous movie star, Leon, just by looking at his profile and back."
As she spoke, she clicked on the photo again, and the photo immediately turned into a three-dimensional 3D picture. The man turned around and faced everyone.
When she saw his face, she realized that he wasn't the American movie star, Leon!
Jin Wanyi's face paled, and her heart began to pound like a drum.
Gu Nianzhi turned off the photo and clicked on another photo.
This time, it was a tall man with a hunched back. He was dressed ordinarily, and the rubber shoes on his feet were stained with a lot of dirt.
Along the way, he left a trail of footprints with dirt behind him.
Gu Nianzhi smiled at Liang Meili and Wen Shouyi. "How is it? This time, I want Ms. Liang Meili and Miss Wen Shouyi to recognize who this man is. "
Wen Shouyi clenched her fists, but she gritted her teeth and didn't say a word.
However, her mother, Liang Meili, couldn't hold it in. She glanced at Wen Shouyi and then at Jin Wanyi. Seeing that neither of them stopped her, she mustered up the courage to say, "… This … This person is my husband."
She pointed at Wen Dayou, who was sitting on the other side of Wen Shouyi.
Gu Nianzhi said kindly, "Ms. Liang Meili thinks this is your husband, Wen Dayou, right?"
Liang Meili nodded and said confidently, "Yes, I've been married to him for more than 20 years. How could I not recognize my husband? Not to mention his back and side profile, I would recognize him even if he were to be reduced to ashes! "
Gu Nianzhi smiled and thought to herself that it was a big flag. Then, she clicked on the front of the second photo.
It wasn't Wen Dayou!
Liang Meili's vision darkened, and she almost fainted.
She muttered, "How could it not be? I can clearly see his back and side profile! Is there some kind of mistake? "
"This is the same photo, the same person. If you don't admit it, I can even summon him to testify in court." Gu Nianzhi put down the mouse and said casually.
This photo was the one she had carefully prepared to deal with the two passerby witnesses.
Gu Nianzhi looked up at the judge's seat and calmly began her second conclusion. "Your Honor, I think it's already very obvious."
"Even a celebrity that I'm familiar with and my husband that I spend every day with can't tell who he is based on his back and side profile. How could two passersby find a photo of Gu Xiangwen and me when I was 12 years old based on his back and side profile?"
"This is neither rigorous nor fair."
"So Miss Wen's insistence is right, because those two people aren't Gu Xiangwen at all, nor are they the 12-year-old me from eight years ago!"
"Based on this, I want to apply to the court to invalidate the testimony of the two passerby witnesses!"
Wen Shouyi's face instantly darkened. She had never expected Gu Nianzhi to use her testimony to invalidate the testimony of the other two passerby witnesses!
