Epilogue Erqing Lu Manman 71: Going to Court(1/3)
"I would like to ask the plaintiff, Ms. Jing Xiangqing, under what circumstances did you agree to marry Mr. Mo? Since you said that a couple's marriage is not based on emotion, what exactly prompted you two to get married?"
Xiang Qing sat on the interrogation table, listening to the lawyer's questioning, her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but glance at Lu Liye on the viewing platform.
Lu Liye was also looking at her, his dark eyes narrowed tightly, revealing his eager expectation for this answer at this moment.
"Miss Jing, please think carefully and answer my question carefully."
Lawyer Wu reminded Xiang Qing on the interrogation stage.
Xiang Qing took a breath, looked firmly at the presiding judge on the stage, and answered truthfully, "The reason why I married him is because he threatened me with my boyfriend's secret."
Lu Liye held his chin with his palm and rested on the armrest of the wooden chair. His sexy phoenix eyes narrowed into a straight line and he stared at Xiang Qing. He listened to her carefully for a moment and continued to answer.
"My boyfriend had a rather special status at the time. He... he was a police + undercover agent. Due to my negligence, I accidentally leaked this important information to Morrill. At that time, he used this as a threat to force me to
+Forcing me to marry him, if I don’t marry, he will leak the identity of my friend, so I can’t help it..."
Xiang Qing did not continue what she said.
At this moment, she could clearly feel that a sharp and hot gaze was being cast towards her from the audience seats.
She knew it was Lu Liye.
She didn't even dare to turn her head to look at him.
Lu Liye crossed his arms and stared at Xiang Qing on the interrogation table.
My breathing is a little heavy, and my heart is full of mixed flavors, including everything!
He touched his nose with his fingers. He had never thought of such a process!!
"Defendant's attorney, is there anything you want to question about the plaintiff's statement?"
"have."
Morrill's attorney questioned, "President, what Ms. Jing just said is just her unilateral statement. In the absence of any witnesses and evidence, this statement is not credible, and our client
Deny this!”
"I didn't lie!"
Xiang Qing looked at Morrill with calm eyes.
Morrill also looked at her calmly.
The look on his face was calm, calm, and... confident.
Morrill's lawyer continued to speak, "On the contrary, before the marriage, the relationship between our client and the plaintiff was obvious to all, especially the plaintiff's colleague, the presiding judge. I would like to invite our witnesses to appear in court for questioning."
"Okay! Allowed."
The presiding judge struck the hammer on the table.
The person who testified in court turned out to be... Qin Lili?!
Xiang Qing sat back from the interrogation table and returned to the plaintiff's seat.
"Ms. Qin, as a colleague of the plaintiff Miss Jing, I hope you will tell the truth about all the facts you know!"
Morrill's lawyer reminded Qin Lili.
"OK."
Qin Lili nodded.
"Before they got married, my colleagues and I could often see Mr. Morrill in the company, and we have seen them kissing and showing affection in public more than once! Many times, Mr. Mo would come to the company
He had lunch with his wife. The relationship between the two of them has always been very good, at least in the eyes of outsiders! Moreover, Mr. Mo once asked my boss to fire me because his wife didn't like me.
One thing, my leader also knows very well!”
"very good!"
Morrill's lawyer nodded approvingly, "Well, Miss Qin, I would like to ask you, why does the plaintiff, Miss Jing Xiangqing, not like you?"
Qin Lili paused and then said, "Because she once had an ambiguous relationship with my boyfriend!"
"Your boyfriend?"
Morrill's lawyer said, passing a photo in front of Qin Lili, "Miss Qin, please take a look clearly. Is the 'boyfriend' you are talking about this gentleman?"
This is a photo of Lu Liye and Qin Lili walking out of Lu Liye's apartment at the same time.
Lu Liye looked at the picture of himself projected on the projector screen, and was slightly shocked. His eyes darkened a little, and his thin lips pursed into a straight line. However, he did not react any more, just silently
Observing every move of everyone in the court.
He found that Xiang Qing's attorney, Wu, did not raise any doubts about any witness testimony and evidence.
Even before this, he had never expressed his intention to ask him, Lu Liye, to testify in court. You must know that Lu Liye is a very important witness in the entire divorce case, and how could a professional lawyer bring him to court?
What about omitting it?
There is a problem!
Moreover, the problem is not small at all.
"Yes, that's him."
Qin Lili nodded.
"Presiding judge, the gentleman in the photo is named Lu Liye. He was indeed an outstanding police + undercover agent, that is, the 'boyfriend' mentioned by the plaintiff before. One more thing, Miss Qin, according to
As far as I know, you are already pregnant! Right?"
"Yes! The child belongs to my boyfriend."
"Is this Mr. Lu in the photo?"
The lawyer continued to ask questions.
"yes!"
"Okay! Your Honor, I would like to present my second piece of evidence now."
"allow!"
The judge agreed.
Morrill's lawyer clicked on the computer at his desk, and a DNA test report on the child and his father appeared on the screen.
"As you can see, this DNA report is a comparison report between the child in Miss Qin's belly and Mr. Lu. The comparison result shows that the child is indeed Mr. Lu's paternity! Regarding this result, I would like to ask the plaintiff, Ms. Jing
, since you said before that you and Mr. Lu truly love each other, then I would like to ask you, if the relationship between the two parties is really so deep, how come Miss Qin has always been between you two? Miss Qin
How could she be pregnant with Mr. Lu's child at such a time? Therefore, your honor, my conclusion is that the relationship between Miss Jing and Mr. Lu has always been just a casual marriage, and the relationship between Miss Jing and Mr. Mo is
The love between husband and wife has not been broken, and it has not reached the point where the marriage must be divorced! Therefore, I hope the presiding judge will rule that this marriage will not be divorced!!"
Tsk tsk...
Lu Liye was sitting in the audience gallery. At that time, he really wanted to give this eloquent lawyer a warm applause!
No wonder they say that even dead things can be made alive by him, square things can be made round, and white things can be made black!
Sure enough, not bad!!
"Plaintiff's attorney, do you have anything else to add?"
Lawyer Wu took a breath without trace, and nervous sweat seeped out from her forehead drop by drop. For a long time...
"No more, presiding judge."
"..."
Lu Liye had already expected this result, so he did not express too much surprise.
Xiang Qing, who was next to her, looked at the lawyer she hired with some disbelief, "Lawyer Wu, do you have nothing to say?"
"Miss Jing, you have also seen this situation. We are almost losing this lawsuit..."
"If you don't help me, you will really lose!!"
Xiang Qing was a little excited.
If she loses this lawsuit, she will have to wait at least another six months before she can appeal again.
Half a year...
For her, it was simply the most painful ordeal in life!!
She can't lose, she can't afford to lose at all!!
"Miss Jing, it's not that I won't help you, but..."
"Judge, I request an adjournment!!"
Xiang Qing didn't wait for Lawyer Wu to make a defense. She suddenly stood up and demanded directly, "I want to adjourn the court!!"
The judge thought for a moment, nodded, and tapped the hammer at his hand, "Adjourn the court and resume the trial in five days!"
Xiang Qing breathed a long sigh of relief and fell down on the chair tiredly. His whole body seemed to have been drained of energy, and his face was even pitifully pale.
Lawyer Wu and her assistant packed up the documents and were about to leave, but Jing Xiangqing held her hand and said, "Lawyer Wu, don't leave in a hurry. We will talk later."
To be continued...
