Chapter 884 Fu Yan Shi Didn't Come
s anyone able to contact Fu Yan nowShe immediately sent a WeChat message in the group, and she didn't even care how others would gossip about it privately.Soon, classmate Wang Zhong replied, "Huh Wasn...Chapter 884 Fu Yan didn't come.
When Xu Qinghuan saw Xia Wan Yu, she was taken aback.
The former meticulous and efficient chief lawyer of the Fu Corporation is now a gaunt shell of her former self. If it weren't for her sitting in the defendant's seat, Xu Qinghuan would have almost failed to recognize her face... which bore some resemblance to her own.
Compared to Xia Wan, Fu's mother seemed much more elegant, but she looked thinner all around. I wonder if it's because of the lawsuit.
But she remained haughty and aloof, not even sparing Xu Qinghuan a glance.
However, Xu Qinghuan doesn't care much either.
The trial lasted a long time because there was a lot of evidence presented, and some of it needed to be confirmed in court. This made the process of proving and disproving things more difficult.
To win the lawsuit, the Fu family went to great lengths to distance themselves from the incident. They even called in doctors from the hospital at the time to testify on their behalf.
Xu Qinghuan remained impassive in her seat, listening to the arguments and cross-examinations of Han's lawyer, the prosecutors, and the defense lawyers. Her gaze repeatedly darted towards the spectator seats.
Fu Yan was not here at the appointed time.
It's probably for the best that he didn't come. If he had, I would have been even more embarrassed and awkward.
If he comes, he'll be able to see him with one glance.
It doesn't seem so embarrassing or awkward anymore. It's not that important.
"Now, the defendant will make their final statement."
The judge's voice boomed.
This is the last stage of this court session.
Xu Qinghuan subconsciously glanced at Lawyer Han. The other party nodded at her, signaling that everything was going smoothly.
She smiled faintly, expressing her gratitude.
Xia Wan's final statement, choked with sobs and filled with remorse.
As a lawyer, she knew this was her chance because the judge has discretion. If her statement resonated and appealed to the presiding judge's compassion, it would be crucial for sentencing.
Fu's mother's final statement was read out exactly as her lawyer had prepared it beforehand. There was no emotion, no expression; she seemed as if she had never been afraid of this so-called trial! She sounded absolutely certain that she would be acquitted.
The court is now adjourned. All rise.
Xu Qinghuan heard this, stiffly stood up from the chair, and bowed in thanks.
Coming out of the courtroom, Lawyer Han said a lot to her again, basically advising her to think carefully about appealing the second trial. Although there was no need to think about it now, as the first trial hadn't been pronounced yet, when she heard Xu Qinghuan say she didn't intend to appeal, Lawyer Han pondered for a moment and still wanted her to consider it carefully.
"Forget it, and don't bother me anymore, Lawyer Han."
"No problem! Generally, criminal cases go through a second trial, we're used to it!"
"I don't need mine."
Xu Qinghuan smiled and walked out of the court.
Coming down from the tall steps, she looked up at the sky once more.
It's still so blue, so boundless...
It seems to hold all the inequalities and filth, making itself appear especially small and fragile.
"Cheers!"
A call brought Xu Qinghuan back to her senses.
She turned around and saw Fu Jiajia standing not far away, waving at her!
"How did you get here"
“On such an important day, how could I be absent” Fu Jiajia stepped forward, gave her a hug, and handed her the flowers she was holding. “Huahua, I said I would always be by your side, I wasn't joking!”
Finally, the tears I couldn't shed in court just now welled up.
"Thank you, Jiajia."
"Come on, let's just go to my place and have a little celebration"
Xu Qinghuan wiped her tears with the back of her hand and nodded, "Okay."tion or pretense.Xu Qinghuan knew she had overthought things.She had no other thoughts about Fu Yan Shi, she just saw him as an ideal type.If she hadn't heard what Fu Huazhen and Qiao Xihe said that d...
