After breaking off the engagement, she became the CEO's favorite

Chu Yue was slightly surprised.

Lu Ranran, what is she laughing at? Doesn't she know she is going to lose?

Or... does she have evidence that she doesn't know about? !

But soon, Chu Yue denied this guess in her mind.

She was confident that she had "cleaned up" all of An Ning's belongings after her death and had also caught the relevant people with evidence, so it was impossible for Lu Ranran to obtain any additional information.

On this basis, no matter how eloquent Lu Ranran is, Chu Yue will never lose!

So, she gave Lu Ranran a gentle and kind smile as usual, as if she was a broad-minded elder who would not care about the mistakes and arrogance of the younger generation.

After questioning the two witnesses, the defendant's lawyer then applied to the judge:

"I request to produce evidence number three."

"agree."

A notarized list appeared on the screen.

"Everyone, please look," the lawyer said, "this is An Ning's relic that my client obtained from Chu Yue a few days ago."

"The matters listed here have also been approved by the other party. Am I right?"

The plaintiff's lawyer sarcastically said:

"I don't know what this has to do with today's trial."

The judge also said:

"Defendant's attorney, please state your reasons."

The defendant's lawyer bowed slightly to the judge and said:

"The subject of this trial is 'defamation'. Please allow me to make a brief distinction."

"The two witnesses on the plaintiff's side were mainly to prove that our client tried to defame "Another Life" and thus confirm the rumors that the plaintiff had plagiarized."

"It's actually just a way to smear."

"I believe everyone still remembers that before this, a famous internet celebrity directly pointed out in a video that "Once Upon a Time in a Small Town" was plagiarized from the script of a stylist's friend."

"So in the final analysis, the defamation of the plaintiff..." The lawyer paused, "should come from two sources."

"We have just proved through questioning that the witnesses could not provide conclusive evidence to prove that the slander against Another Life came from our client."

"Now, for our own benefit, we must also clarify the defamation of "Small Town Past"..."

“It’s not slander.”

After the words fell, the whole audience was in an uproar.

"What do you mean it's not slander? Does he mean that Chu Yue really plagiarized "Small Town Past"?"

"What are you doing? It's fine if you find someone to say something nonsense on the Internet, but can you say it in court?"

"Has the Shen family already established a good relationship? This is terrifying when you think about it!"

The judge banged the gavel again and looked in the defendant's direction, frowning in confusion.

"Then why didn't you ask an internet celebrity to be a witness?"

The lawyer stood up straight and said word by word:

"Because it's not needed."

"We have every reason to suspect that "Once Upon a Time in a Small Town" is plagiarized."

After this was said, the whole audience fell silent. Not because this conclusion was so explosive, but because it was a bit baffling.

"Hasn't Chu Yue already drawn up a complete timeline? Why is she bringing this up now? Is she crazy?"

"I don't understand, I don't understand. I am getting more and more confused."

The plaintiff's lawyer immediately objected:

"This is a slander against us. Please stop immediately."

Lu Ranran smiled at this time and said calmly:

"Don't be impatient. Listen to what we say first. It's not too late to object later."

“You——!”

Chu Yue quickly grabbed the excited Lu Keke and forced a smile, but her tone was full of sadness and loss.

"Ran Ran, I don't know how I offended you to make you hate me so much."

"But since you have decided to throw dirty water on me, let's sort things out today. From now on, I will give up!"

"If you don't want to recognize us as your relatives, we will only consider you as a member of the Shen family!"

After saying this, she turned her head and wiped her eyes as if she was very sad.

Everyone present was moved.

"I heard that after Lu Ranran's parents passed away, it was Chu Yue and her husband who adopted her, otherwise she would have become an orphan long ago."

"The grace of raising me is also a grace, right? How come you have completely forgotten the kindness of your own family just because you married into the Shen family? You are really not a human being!"

"Boss Chu, please adopt me. I'm definitely more obedient than Lu Ranran. I also want to be a young lady!"

"Silence!" The judge looked at the dock. "You continue."

The defendant's lawyer said:

"Okay, let's take a look at this list of relics. In addition to a computer, there are hundreds of magazines called "Weekly Film Review"."

"It's strange, isn't it? An Ning was a writer who won the Best Screenplay Award, but the only relics he left behind were a computer and magazines? Not even a single manuscript?"

"Also," the lawyer applied to present the fourth piece of evidence, "please look, this is a contract presented by South City Amusement Park."

"It states that An Ning once wrote a play called 'The Caribbean Ranger' for their theater under the pseudonym 'Nu Ding'."

"Then why can't we find any trace of 'Caribbean Ranger' in An Ning's computer?"

The plaintiff's lawyer countered:

"Maybe An Ning deleted it herself."

The defendant's lawyer raised his eyebrows:

"It's just a possibility, isn't it? You can't prove what you say."

"Then I would like to propose another possibility."

"Is it possible that after An Ning passed away, the plaintiff, who took over her belongings, took advantage of the fact that our client was just born and did not have the capacity for civil conduct, and arbitrarily deleted, modified and discarded Miss An Ning's belongings."

"That is, taking advantage of this opportunity, your client obtained Miss An Ning's script."

"This is absolute nonsense!" Chu Yue couldn't help but retort.

"Ran Ran," Chu Yue stood up excitedly, "Even if we did something wrong, you can't slander us like this!"

"If I had known that helping your mother deal with her funeral and adopting a little baby like you would cause so much trouble!"

"If I had known this, I would have just been cruel and sent you to an orphanage to let you fend for yourself!"

After saying this, Chu Yue felt a little weak. If Lu Keke hadn't supported her, she might have fainted on the ground.

"Lu Ranran, how can you be so vicious!"

"My mother was kind enough to help you and take care of you. Look at how you are repaying her now. Do you still have a conscience?"

"Conscience?" Lu Ranran sneered, "Where was your conscience when you asked me to marry Zhang Heng?"

As soon as Zhang Heng's name came out, it sparked another round of discussion among the spectators.

"What? Is the Zhang Heng they are talking about the one I know? However, I haven't heard of him hanging out recently..."

"Why would anyone want to marry their daughter to a rapist?"

The judge said loudly:

"Quiet!"

"Defendant, this is not the place for you to quarrel and argue about family matters! You are not allowed to use your imagination!"

"If there is no more evidence, I will stop speaking now!"

There were also many voices of agreement from the audience.

Lu Keke on the opposite side looked at Lu Ranran provocatively, making sure that she had no evidence.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ranran just smiled faintly and said softly:

"I have proof."
