Gu Nianzhi had prepared some questions for Ye Xuan that Jin Wanyi might ask, but this wasn't one of the questions she had prepared for him.
Gu Nianzhi had prepared technical questions related to property and computers. Gu Nianzhi knew that Jin Wanyi wouldn't let go of this kind of emotional entanglement between a man and a woman, but she didn't get involved because she cared about Ye Xuan's feelings.
She wasn't a lawyer who would do anything to win a lawsuit.
Ye Xuan had privately imagined what questions Jin Wanyi and Gu Yanran would use to make things difficult for him.
He had also thought that they might use their past relationship to make a fuss, but now that they had actually asked it, Ye Xuan was still a bit dazed.
He stared fixedly in Gu Yanran's direction.
Gu Yanran looked down uncomfortably and didn't have any intention of stopping Jin Wanyi.
The memories and privacy that once belonged to the two of them were now being interrogated and exposed in public.
No matter how good a relationship was, it couldn't be squandered like this.
The complicated emotions hidden in Ye Xuan's eyes gradually faded and were replaced by a slowly cold gaze.
He curled one side of his lips, and his extremely handsome features revealed a devilish smile. "How long have I been with Gu Yanran? Why don't you ask your client, Lawyer Jin? "
"Ye Xuan! I'm asking you a question. Please answer it. " The vein on Jin Wanyi's forehead throbbed as she realized Ye Xuan's change in attitude. She couldn't help but glance at Gu Yanran.
The truth was, Ye Xuan still had feelings for Gu Yanran, but he couldn't stop her from using him so thoroughly …
Jin Wanyi sighed internally, but this was her profession. She signed the contract, so she had to defend Gu Yanran.
The judge also intervened at that moment. He said to Ye Xuan sternly, "Witness, please answer the defendant's lawyer's questions. Do not evade it."
Ye Xuan rubbed his tall and elegant nose and leaned back in his high-back office chair. He placed his other hand on the table and tapped his fingers on it like he was playing the piano. His lips were still curled into a meaningful smile as he looked at Jin Wanyi. "Lawyer Jin, do you really want to know my answer?"
Jin Wanyi saw that Ye Xuan was trying to evade it and felt that he was feeling guilty. She laughed coldly and aggressively. "Of course. Just say what you want to say. Is there anyone you can't see?"
Ye Xuan looked at Gu Nianzhi almost imperceptibly.
Gu Nianzhi also rubbed her nose and looked down at the table.
Ye Xuan understood what she meant and turned to look at Gu Yanran. His voice softened. "Yanran, I still remember the day we were together. It was August 15th four years ago. Do you still remember? The moon was especially round that day … "
Gu Yanran didn't expect Ye Xuan to say that out loud, and her heart skipped a beat.
The events of that night were still vivid in his mind …
She drank some red wine and leaned into Ye Xuan's arms to watch the moon on the balcony of the Gu manor.
Ye Xuan said that the moon on the fifteenth truly lived up to its reputation. It was indeed big and round.
Gu Yanran teased, "… There's a part of my body that's bigger, rounder, and whiter than the moon. Do you want to see it?"
How could the hot-blooded Ye Xuan resist such temptation? He had already decided to protect the Gu family for the rest of his life, as well as Uncle Gu's only daughter, Gu Yanran …
However, Gu Yanran didn't feel good when she thought of the sweet words they had said to each other and looked at Ye Xuan, who was now helping Gu Nianzhi go against her.
Jin Wanyi coughed and knocked on the table. She said to Ye Xuan coldly, "Your first time was because you drank and pretended to be crazy to force and seduce my client to have sex, right?"
Ye Xuan laughed. "I forced and seduced your client? Didn't you say it the other way around? "
"That's ridiculous!" Jin Wanyi slammed the table. "At the time, you tore my client's clothes. You ignored her many times and insisted on going through with it, didn't you?!"
As Jin Wanyi spoke, she took out the torn dress as evidence. "Everyone, please take a look. This is the evidence of my client being forced to have sex. For the past four years, my client has been trying to compromise and didn't want to have a falling out with Ye Xuan. I didn't expect him to be so ambitious. When he failed to obtain the Gu fortune, he colluded with outsiders and sued my client. "
Ye Xuan closed his eyes. He didn't expect Gu Yanran to tell Jin Wanyi this …
Their first time was a bit intense, but he didn't force her. It was because Gu Yanran was wearing a long-sleeved dress with a lot of buttons that day. He couldn't undo all the buttons no matter how hard he tried, so Gu Yanran asked him to tear the dress.
He ripped off all the buttons, and the long dress floated down like a flower, revealing the beautiful body underneath.
He used the dress to cushion their bodies, and they had their first time. It was also Ye Xuan's first time.
Although it wasn't Gu Yanran's first time, Ye Xuan didn't care.
After that, Gu Yanran said that the dress was a memento of them and had to be treasured.
He had always thought that the dress was a sweet memento of the two of them …
It turned out that it could also become evidence of a crime.
The torn dress hadn't been washed, and there was even evidence of the two of them having sex on it.
Wasn't this an ironclad coercion?
Jin Wanyi had a hint of joy as she quickly glanced at Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi looked very surprised. Her bright, black eyes looked back and forth between Ye Xuan and Gu Yanran. She didn't seem to realize that Gu Yanran still had this heavy evidence waiting for them.
"Your Honor, how can someone like this be a witness?" Jin Wanyi brought up the "assault and battery case" that had been withdrawn. "Last time, my client was abused and beaten by Ye Xuan, but because Ye Xuan hired a good lawyer to threaten us, we had no choice but to withdraw the case. Now, the other party has become even more aggressive and stubbornly wants to use Ye Xuan as a witness. My client thought about it and finally took out this document. "
Jin Wanyi walked in front of Gu Nianzhi and shook the dress. "Lawyer Gu, last time, you used a 'surveillance video' from who knows where as Ye Xuan's alibi. Actually, what I want to say is that last time, my client only remembered the wrong time, so you guys took advantage of the loophole. This time, you and your witness won't be so lucky! "
Faced with the heavy evidence presented by the defendant, everyone in the courtroom was silent.
If it was true that Ye Xuan had forced Gu Yanran back then, even if the other party didn't sue him, he basically had no right to be a witness.
Everyone instinctively looked at Gu Nianzhi.
She had been sitting calmly on the plaintiff's stand the entire time. Her pretty little face still had a calm smile, as though no matter what kind of evidence the other party brought out, it wouldn't be able to shake her.
Yin Shixiong looked at Gu Nianzhi like this and felt like he was seeing Huo Shaoheng's shadow …
Every time something big happened, Huo Shaoheng always had this expression.
It had to be said that this kind of attitude was indeed the backbone of the Special Operations Forces' morale.
Although Gu Nianzhi's expression was calm, her mind was quickly thinking of ways to break out of this situation.
Last time, she didn't want to be entangled with Gu Yanran in the so-called "abuse" case and chose to have the other party withdraw the lawsuit instead of continuing the case in court. She didn't want to face such a dirty situation.
Generally speaking, the female party was at a disadvantage in this kind of scandalous case. However, for someone like Gu Yanran, she couldn't wait to make the situation as dirty as possible.
Therefore, to be fair, when it came to cases involving relationships between men and women, regardless of whether they won or lost, the party who cared about their reputation would always be at a disadvantage.
The shameless party would win no matter what.
However, it was still the same saying — one shouldn't go overboard. When the wind blew, the boat would easily capsize.
For example, this time …
Gu Nianzhi looked down at the documents in front of her. There were biographies of Ye Xuan and Gu Yanran, as well as introductions to their backgrounds. These were all necessary preparations for the lawsuit.
Jin Wanyi definitely had them as well.
However, when faced with "heavy evidence," Jin Wanyi must have gotten carried away and forgotten the most important thing …
If Jin Wanyi hadn't taken the initiative to bring this up today, Gu Nianzhi really wouldn't have known that Ye Xuan and Gu Yanran's first time had happened under such circumstances.
Gu Nianzhi's eyes flashed as she looked at the judge and said word by word, "Your Honor, I disagree with the defendant's opinion."
The judge looked at her with some pity and said, "Plaintiff, unless you have evidence to prove that the other party is lying, Ye Xuan's qualifications as a witness will be revoked."
Since the judge had already said that, Jin Wanyi and Gu Yanran naturally breathed a huge sigh of relief.
They looked at each other and immediately looked away.
They still maintained a cautious posture, but a faint sense of joy began to well up in the depths of their eyes.
Gu Nianzhi stood up from the plaintiff's stand and walked to the defendant's stand where Gu Yanran and Jin Wanyi were. Covering her nose, she looked at the tattered dress that Jin Wanyi was holding and glanced at Gu Yanran. Suddenly, she asked, "Gu Yanran, are you sure this is the dress that Ye Xuan tore open?"
Gu Yanran nodded seriously. "If you don't believe me, you can go and do a DNA test."
Gu Nianzhi asked, "Why do we need to do a DNA test on the dress?"
"There are Ye Xuan's semen spots on it …" Gu Yanran frowned in disgust. "You can go and check to see if it's Ye Xuan's …"
Gu Nianzhi shook her head. "Gu Yanran, did you have to be so ruthless?"
"If he hadn't been so ruthless, would I have done this?" Gu Yanran laughed coldly. "I was originally prepared to bite the bullet and swallow it, but he became even more aggressive. What else could I do? I did it to protect myself! "
Gu Nianzhi replied softly, "To protect herself? It must have been hard on you to endure it for so many years. "
Gu Yanran and Jin Wanyi were both stunned. Both of them squinted at Gu Nianzhi in unison, unable to believe that Gu Nianzhi would speak up for them?!
Gu Nianzhi seemed to nod sympathetically and asked, "Gu Yanran, you said that you remembered the wrong time for the previous criminal assault case. Then is it possible that you also remembered the wrong time for your first time with Ye Xuan?"
Gu Yanran became cautious and quickly said, "Of course not. It was August 15th four years ago. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival. I remember it very clearly and will never forget it for the rest of my life!" As she spoke, she looked at Ye Xuan resentfully before looking down to wipe her tears.
Gu Nianzhi raised her voice. "Gu Yanran, please confirm if the first time you had sex with Ye Xuan was on August 15th of the lunar calendar four years ago?!"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! It's the same even if you ask a hundred times! "Gu Yanran was furious.
She wasn't lying at all this time. Their first time was on the Mid-Autumn Festival four years ago!
Actually, she had loved Ye Xuan before. Did she feel good about going against him in court?!
Gu Nianzhi interrupted her rant. "You don't have to shout." As she spoke, Gu Nianzhi turned to look at the judge and said loudly, "Just now, the defendant, Gu Yanran, confirmed again and again that the first time she had sex with Ye Xuan was on August 15th of the lunar calendar four years ago, which was not long after Ye Xuan returned to Barbados from the United States. But look at Ye Xuan's birth certificate and passport! "
