Volume 1 Chapter 8 Confrontation in Court

In Yu Xi's heart, the court and the law are solemn and sacred and cannot be defiled or violated. She never imagined that one day, she would walk into the court and face off against others because of a lawsuit.

After more than a month of panic, the day of the trial is still approaching. Two days before the trial, the lawyer called Yu Xi to inform him that because he had already had a case earlier, which happened to overlap with Yu Xi's case, he had entrusted a colleague from a law firm to appear in court on his behalf.

The temporary changes made Yu Xi's heart even more bottomless. She suddenly thought of an allusion: Man is a knife and I am a fish, and she has no power to resist and let others slaughter her. I wanted to call the lawyer again to ask if she could stagger the time to appear in court, but she felt that it didn't matter, and she seemed to have seen the end of losing the lawsuit. It's just that she can't stand the situation that she may have to separate from her son after losing the lawsuit.

Walk through an alley to the left of the courthouse and enter an iron gate, which leads to the various courtrooms in two horizontal and vertical corridors. When Yu Xi followed the temporary lawyer and stepped into the iron gate, his legs were weak and he kept shaking slightly. The lawyer saw her nervousness and comforted her: Xiaoyu, don't be nervous, the trial is actually just a matter of going through the process, handing over the evidence, and answering a few words when replying.

The courtroom is also a battlefield without gunpowder, and people who walk into this place are "killed" to the point of "bleeding", and they don't want to step through that door after experiencing it once.

Hu Cheng's family had come early, and Hu's father, Hu's mother, and Hu Meiyuan suppressed Yu Xi's momentum, because none of her relatives were present to observe, and they threw mocking expressions at Yu Xi. Yu Xi didn't dare to look up at their faces, for fear that the other party would see through his unconfident nervousness and fear, and even more afraid of being intimidated by their momentum.

After the two sides were seated, two expressionless middle-aged men in black robes and a younger clerk walked in. The clerk said: These two are today's presiding judges, that is, judges, and I am the clerk of today's trial. Surprisingly, as soon as the two judges sat down, they played with their mobile phones, like two outsiders who had nothing to do with each other.

The clerk asked Yu Xi and Hu Cheng to confirm their identities, and then the lawyers of both sides made introductions, and the clerk read out the complaint and reply, and then submitted the evidence, and then the defense of both parties. When the clerk confirmed the evidence submitted by both parties one by one, a man in his thirties walked in through the door. He first greeted the judge politely, and then explained his intentions: "My surname is You, and I am a friend of the defendant Miss Yu, and I came to send her some materials that she left behind. ”

After the judge agreed, Mr. You walked up to Yu Xi's temporary lawyer and handed him a brown paper bag. The temporary lawyer asked Yu Xi in a low voice what it was, and Yu Xi shook his head inexplicably. She took a closer look at Mr. You, and she had indeed never met him. When she opened the brown paper bag and saw the contents clearly, she was shocked that inside was an employment document issued to her by a company in Shanghai, as well as several purchase materials and invoices, and the name on the purchase invoice was her. The temporary lawyer was also taken aback and whispered: Why didn't you bring out this evidence earlier? These are the strongest proofs for you.

The Hu family, who was sitting opposite, couldn't hold back, Hu's father and Hu's mother took the opportunity to count Yu Xi's "all kinds of nots" to the judge and clerk: "Judge, it's not that we have to divorce, it's that she ran away from home with her children, we all hope that she will come back and live a good life, my son is not bad to her, and we are not good to her." She also took her own and her children's things ....... ”

"Please keep quiet, please don't speak without permission," the clerk snapped to stop Hu's father and mother.

Before making a defense, the clerk first confirmed with Yu Xi whether he agreed to the divorce. Yu Xi did not hesitate to give an affirmative answer. In the first round, the opposing lawyer asked Yu Xi questions, Yu Xi was so nervous that her ears were ringing and she couldn't hear what the opposing lawyer said, and the temporary lawyer sitting next to her pushed her with his elbow before she reacted.

"Miss Yu, what do your parents do?"

Yu Xi cleared his throat lightly and said, "My parents are farmers. ”

"Do you have a younger brother who hasn't started a family yet?"

"Yes."

"Where do you live now? Do you live in your own house? ”

"I... The house we live in now is... Rented. ”

"Miss Yu, what kind of work are you doing now?"

"I... I don't have a job right now......"

The interim lawyer promptly added: "Judge, I request that there be two pieces of evidence against Miss Yu, including a letter of engagement sent to Miss Yu by a company in Shanghai. ”

The new evidence in the brown paper bag was passed from the clerk to the opposing lawyer, and then to Hu Cheng. Like an illiterate child, Hu Cheng flipped through it twice and handed it to his lawyer. Hu's father and mother, who were sitting below, got up and wanted to look through it, but were stopped by the clerk: Family, please don't move around and flip the other party's evidence at will, you have already asked a lawyer to appear in court on your behalf. Father and Mother Hu muttered to themselves, so they had to retreat.

The clerk asked the opposing lawyer and the client what they had to say about Yu Xi's new evidence. The opposing lawyer stood up and said, "Judge, we question Miss Yu's purchase invoice, judging from Miss Yu's past income, it is impossible for her to afford to buy a house, and we ask the court to investigate clearly." ”

The opposing lawyer was aggressive, and Hu's father and Hu's mother, who were sitting in the lower row, heard that Yu Xi had bought a house, and they whispered and ridiculed him: She still has money to buy a house? Jokes, right?

The clerk was a little angry, "Please don't make noise for the family, please keep quiet in the courtroom!" If you have something to say, go outside. Then he turned to Yu Xi and asked, "Defendant, do you have anything to add?" ”

The temporary lawyer said: "Miss Yu's previous income may not have been able to afford such a good house, but Miss Yu has a piece of evidence that shows that she is a talented and literate woman, who has written many manuscripts in her original unit and won awards, and has also received manuscript fees for the manuscripts she submitted; There is also the employment document sent by the Shanghai company to Miss Yu, which clearly states that Miss Yu's salary after she arrives at the post. I think we have all heard of this company in Shanghai, it is one of the top five well-known large companies in China, almost all the north and south of the country have their branches, who can have the seal on it, who has the courage to cheat? These are Miss Yu's intangible wealth, and they are treasures that can be cashed out immediately. ”

The temporary lawyer spoke loudly, and the judge, who had been holding his mobile phone in the upper row, also looked away from his mobile phone and looked at the temporary lawyer and Yu Xi in surprise.

The trial, which originally made Yu Xi panic and had already seen the inevitable ending, was much easier because of the strong evidence sent by Mr. You in time.
