Chapter 56: After the Trial
Regardless of whether Xu Ying really fainted or faked fainting, all in all, after Li Mo held a press conference, the reputation of their mother and daughter was ruined.
Later, a news reporter interviewed Li Mo, but Li Mo refused.
After Yi Xue saw the press conference, in line with the idea of distributing water and not flowing into outsiders' fields, she proposed to further report on this matter. First, Li Mo is a reporter for the Green Wind Times, and he can take this opportunity to bring a wave of fame to the newspaper; Second, Yi Xue also hopes to help Li Mo in this matter.
After hearing this, Li Mo did not hesitate for a moment, and directly rejected Yi Xue, "Editor-in-chief, I'm sorry, this matter has caused a lot of turmoil, and I don't want it to continue." β
Looking at Li Mo's serious appearance, Yi Xue sighed, revealing a helpless expression.
Xu Ying almost killed her father, Li Mo didn't hate it in her heart, but for the sake of the overall situation, she didn't say anything about it. Now that Li Zhiwu is recovering well, she decided to wait until her father woke up and handed over the evidence to him, so that he could have a good look at what kind of vicious thoughts the woman who had been living by her side for many years and had a gentle personality, and then let him decide whether to send Xu Ying to prison in person.
When she arrived at the central hospital, Li Mo appeared in front of Xu Ying's ward, looking at the woman lying on the bed and deliberately pretending to be unconscious, she only felt extremely happy.
"I really can't figure it out, my father has always been very good to you mother and daughter, why do you want to do this?" Li Mo ignored Li Yue's angry eyes and walked to Xu Ying's hospital bed, "What good will this do to you?" β
After hearing Li Mo's words, Xu Ying finally opened her eyes, her eyes full of resentment and hatred, "Why? Over the years, I have also been devoted to him, and Yue'er also respects him, but what about him, all he thinks about is your mother, who has been dead for I don't know how many years, and I want to train you as the successor of the company wholeheartedly. On the surface, he looks good to our mother and daughter, but in his heart he never treats us as a family! β
Li Mo looked at Xu Ying with complicated eyes and said, "So, you just want to find a way to destroy Shanghui Department Store, and even want to kill your father?" β
Hatred flashed in Xu Ying's eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said, "So what? Since we mother and daughter can't get it, you can't think about it. β
The words full of resentment sounded in the ward, Li Mo had never found out that her stepmother would have such thoughts in her heart, and for a while, she felt a piercing chill.
Taking a deep breath, Li Mo said calmly: "You should have heard clearly what I said at the press conference yesterday, your plan has been ruined by me, and there is no possibility of realizing it at all. β
When Xu Ying heard this, her heart was clear, and she coughed subconsciously.
Li Yue hurriedly stepped forward and patted Xu Ying's back, and said viciously: "Li Mo, don't deceive people too much!" β
Li Mo lowered his eyes and said in a light tone: "You are the ones who deceive people too much, and you are the ones who reap the consequences." By the way, I would like to remind you that I have already sued Li Yue for defamation, and you had better find a better lawyer, and maybe you can reduce your sentence. β
If you do something wrong, you will be punished, no matter who it is.
Li Mo's words were like a thunderbolt that suddenly sounded in the clear sky, which caught Xu Ying and Li Yue off guard.
"What did you say?" Li Yue's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, looking at Li Mo as if she was looking at a stranger she had never known.
Li Mo thought that he had made it very clear and there was no need to repeat it. She looked at Li Mo and Xu Ying's faces that had become a little distorted from shock, and a mockery flashed in her eyes, and then she turned to leave.
Li Yue stepped forward a few steps forward and stretched out her arms to stop her, her eyes flickered a little, her expression was nervous, and her tone of voice was also hard, "Li Mo, do you know what you are doing?" I'm your sister, and you're suing me? β
"I don't have a sister like you." The self-righteous words made Li Mo couldn't help but be angry, "Why didn't you think that I was your relative when you deliberately edited fake videos and fabricated false facts?" You can rest assured, I will not exaggerate the facts, and I will not have any opinions on how the court should decide. β
From beginning to end, there was no affection between them, and to the point where they are now, Li Yue and them are to blame.
"Mom, what should we do now?" Li Yue's body trembled slightly, saying that it was impossible not to be nervous and afraid.
Xu Ying pretended to be calm, and began to think of a way while comforting her daughter.
After a while, Xu Ying picked up her mobile phone and dialed a call, and after the phone was connected, the voice of a strange middle-aged man came out.
The man's voice was impatient, and his tone was high, "Didn't you say that you shouldn't call me if you don't have anything?" β
Xu Ying's eyes flashed with anger, she endured it, she lowered her voice and said what happened just now, and then asked a little humbly: "Sir, only you can help us in this matter, for Yue'er's sake, please help." β
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then some subtle conversations came out, Xu Ying was a little apprehensive in her heart, afraid that the other party would cross the river and tear down the bridge like this, regardless of their mother and daughter.
After about a minute or two, the conversation gradually faded away, and the man's voice sounded again, with a chill in the cold, "Don't take it as an example!" β
Xu Ying hurriedly thanked her, and breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart.
Before hanging up the phone, the man warned Xu Ying's mother and daughter that if they didn't want to have trouble, it was best to swallow the things they had been in contact with forever and not tell anyone.
"Li Mo, this little slut, I will definitely not let her go!" Xu Ying gritted her teeth and said, her eyes full of hatred.
Li Yue snuggled up to Xu Ying's side, raised her hand to wipe the tears in her eyes, scolded Li Mo hatefully, and swore in her heart that she must pay the price. A few days later, Li Yue's mother and daughter received a summons from the court.
On the afternoon of July 24th, the weather was hot, and when I walked outside, I could clearly feel the oncoming heat wave.
In such weather, the court began its hearing.
Li Mo fully grasped all the evidence of Li Mo's violations, and brought the professional senior lawyer provided by Ling Chen. In such a situation, the lawsuit can be described as a complete victory.
Li Yue took advantage of the convenience of freedom of speech on the Internet to induce people who did not know the real situation to physically attack Li Mo, causing serious damage to her reputation. All kinds of actions have violated the law. Those who violate the law will be severely prosecuted.
According to article 246 of China's Criminal Law, the court sentenced Li Yue to two years in prison and deprivation of political rights.
After receiving the verdict, Li Yue's face turned pale instantly, and then she screamed in horror to express her dissatisfaction with the court's judgment and clamored for the court to retry the case.
Xu Ying looked at the verdict in disbelief, completely unexpecting such a situation. Obviously, the person promised to help before, why is the result of the court's verdict like this now.
For a while, Xu Ying collapsed on the ground, feeling a splitting headache and dizziness in front of her.
In the private hospital of Ling's Group, Li Mo stood in front of Li Zhiwu's bed, sighed for a long time and then said with a wry smile: "Dad, if you know that I sent Li Yue to prison, will you hate me when you wake up?" β
Li Zhiwu is still in a vegetative state, and there is no way to answer Li Mo's question, and she is not very eager to get an answer, she just wants to say what is on her mind.
"Whether you hate me or not, I won't regret it." Li Mo said quietly.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the ward, and Li Mo stepped forward to open it and met Ling Chen's dark eyes.
Li Mo was stunned for a moment, let go of his body, and asked, "Why are you here?" β
Ling Chen walked into the ward, perhaps because of the hot weather, he pulled his tie and said lightly: "What I promised you has been done, but what you promised me has not yet been fulfilled." β
Li Mo's face turned red instantly, he coughed lowly, and said, "What are you going to do?" β
It won't be for her to meet her parents, right?
Although she had agreed to Ling Chen to pretend to be her fiancΓ©e, when she really came on the stage, she was still a little worried that her acting skills were not enough to be seen as flawed.
After listening to Li Mo's worries, Ling Chen said with a serious face: "So, in order to improve your acting skills, you must stay by my side at all times in the near future, until others know that we are a couple." β
"No way!" Li Mo immediately retorted, "In this case, I don't have any freedom at all?" I don't agree with that. β
Ling Chen frowned and said, "I don't have much time with you, and I don't look like a couple at all. Did you promise me that you are now going to break your promise? β
"I'm not ......," Li Mo said with some confusion, "Even if it's a couple, there is still private space between the two parties, not to mention that we are pretending at all." β
Thinking about it, what Li Mo said was still very reasonable, but these words were a little harsh in Ling Chen's ears.
Based on their respective problems, after some discussion, they wrote a "Couple's Cooperation Agreement", which clearly listed the terms.
First, Li Mo must cooperate with Ling Chen unconditionally, and must make people believe in their relationship as a couple;
second, it is forbidden to have improper intimate relations with other people of the opposite sex or the same sex while both parties are pretending to be lovers;
Third......
There are a total of thirteen articles, large and small, and the restrictions among them are jaw-dropping.
"Is it necessary?" Li Mo had an urge to regret it, blinked his eyes, and said a little nervously.
Ling Chen suddenly pressed Li Mo's shoulder, slowly lowered his head, and made a look of wanting to kiss her.
At close range, looking at the man's handsome cheeks, Li Mo subconsciously swallowed her saliva, feeling the breath spewed by the man on her face, she screamed, reached out and pushed the man away, took a few steps back, and looked at him vigilantly.
Seeing this, a dark color flashed in Ling Chen's eyes, and then he pretended not to care and said: "In special circumstances, such intimate actions are indispensable, even if you can't get used to it, you have to pretend to be used to it, understand?" β
Li Mo wanted to say that I didn't understand, but looking at Ling Chen's gloomy face, he still nodded.
