Ye Wanqing had not left the house for seven days. On the 20th, she finally mustered up the courage to step through the closed threshold.

The winter wind in Beijing was as cold as a knife, chilling her bones. In such weather, coupled with recent discomfort, Ye Wanqing had no intention of going out. However, today's trip was to resolve the unresolved grievances between her and Xu Xinyi.

Ever since her divorce from Lin Xuan, Xu Xinyi has been like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, constantly resorting to various underhanded tactics against Ye Wanqing. Finally, Xu Xinyi's evil deeds were exposed. With Lin Xuan's help, Ye Wanqing severed the long-standing partnership between the Lin and Xu companies and commissioned attorney Xiao Hongzhe to bring Xu Xinyi to justice.

Because the collection of evidence was quite cumbersome, Ye Wanqing did not formally file a lawsuit with the court until December last year, and the case was scheduled to go to court on January 20, which is today.

Ye Wanqing had been resting at home for several days. This morning, she woke up before the alarm clock rang. She knew that the entanglement between her and Xu Xinyi would finally come to an end today.

Qin Zhuyu took a leave of absence from work and insisted on accompanying her. Despite Ye Wanqing's repeated attempts to dissuade her, she remained determined. Qin Zhuyu declared she must witness Xu Xinyi's disgrace after her defeat.

The sky is still clear today, but the temperature has dropped to minus four or five degrees Celsius, and the wind is biting and freezing.

Ye Wanqing carefully selected a long beige down jacket, paired with a soft knitted sweater, slim-fitting black pencil pants, a pair of black snow boots, and finally a warm gray knitted hat. She picked up a brown handbag and went out.

Her outfit today was both warm and fashionable, and with her tall figure and fair skin, Qin Zhuyu recognized her at once as soon as she got out of the car.

"Wanqing!" Qin Zhuyu shouted excitedly. She came to the court gate in Qin Huai's car and saw Ye Wanqing at a glance.

"You look so beautiful today!" Qin Zhuyu exclaimed sincerely.

Ye Wanqing smiled softly. After a few days of rest and the end of her menstrual period, her complexion had indeed improved a lot. "You are not bad either."

While the two were talking, Xiao Hongzhe slowly walked over and said, "Ms. Ye, good morning."

Ye Wanqing smiled at Xiao Hongzhe: "Lawyer Xiao, we meet again."

Yes, we meet again. The victory in the last lawsuit made Ye Wanqing full of trust in Xiao Hongzhe. She believed that today's lawsuit would also go as she wished.

"It's a sunny day today, what an auspicious day!" Qin Zhuyu was in a good mood. She couldn't wait to see Xu Xinyi's miserable appearance, but because of the old relationship between the Qin and Xu families, she had never been able to do so.

Xiao Hongzhe glanced at Qin Zhuyu, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Miss Qin is right, today is indeed a good day."

Ye Wanqing's face was filled with smiles, "Indeed."

As the three were talking, a black car slowly drove into the court parking lot.

The car door opened, and Xu Xinyi and Bai Pinghui walked out one after another.

When they saw Ye Wanqing and Qin Zhuyu, the smile on Xu Xinyi's face froze instantly.

Qin Zhuyu couldn't help but sneer when she saw Xu Xinyi: "The good show is about to begin."

These words were obviously spoken to Xu Xinyi, and the voice was clearly audible.

Upon hearing this, Bai Pinghui immediately said angrily, "Miss Qin, please watch your words."

"I've been very polite. Unlike some people who are always shouting and annoying." Qin Zhuyu hit back mercilessly, and Xiao Hongzhe nodded slightly in agreement.

Xu Xinyi and Bai Pinghui's faces turned pale. Just as they were about to retort, they heard Ye Wanqing say calmly, "Okay, this is the court. Everyone should remain calm and watch your words."

These words seemed to be a reminder to Qin Zhuyu, but in fact they were a warning to Xu Xinyi and Bai Pinghui.

They wanted to argue, but Ye Wanqing's words forced them to grit their teeth and suppress their anger.

However, Ye Wanqing did not stop there. She curled her lips into a faint smile and said softly, "The court is a place of justice. We should convince people with reason."

Qin Zhuyu looked at the slightly embarrassed expressions of Xu Xinyi and Bai Pinghui and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Wanqing is absolutely right."

Xiao Hongzhe gently adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, his expression solemn: "The court session is almost over, Miss Ye, Miss Qin, it's time for us to enter."

"The trial is finally about to begin." There was a hint of excitement in Qin Zhuyu's voice that was hard to conceal. Before entering the courtroom, she deliberately cast a proud look at Xu Xinyi.

The three of them walked into the courtroom one after another, with the timing just right. The judge and jury were ready, and the parties involved were also in their seats.

Xu Xinyi watched the three people enter the courtroom with eager eyes, feeling increasingly uneasy. She anxiously called out, "Ms. Ye, please stay!"

Ye Wanqing stopped, turned slowly, and looked at Xu Xinyi with a sharp gaze: "Ms. Xu, if you have anything to say, let's wait until after the trial."

Xu Xinyi was clearly unwilling to wait until after the trial: "Ms. Ye, can you give me a chance to resolve this matter privately?"

Ye Wanqing raised her eyebrows slightly, with a barely perceptible sarcasm in her tone: "Ms. Xu, this is a solemn court. You should understand the rules here."

If she was willing to reconcile privately, why would she come here today?

After Ye Wanqing finished speaking, she didn't linger any longer and walked into the courtroom with firm steps.

Xu Xinyi was extremely anxious: "Ye Wanqing, what do you want? I can satisfy you!"

Ye Wanqing just smiled slightly, as if she didn't hear Xu Xinyi's call.

Qin Zhuyu snorted disdainfully: "Ignore her, Wanqing."

"Yeah." Ye Wanqing responded softly and walked towards the plaintiff's seat with firm steps.

The court bell rang quietly.

For Xiao Hongzhe, such a lawsuit was a piece of cake. He had handled more complicated cases before and had always won, so today's lawsuit was naturally no problem for him.

In just half an hour, Xu Xinyi's defense lawyer seemed a little overwhelmed by Xiao Hongzhe's fierce attack.

"Your Honor, my client is willing to settle!" As soon as Xu Xinyi's lawyer finished speaking, Xiao Hongzhe responded without hesitation: "We firmly disagree with the settlement."

Xu Xinyi sat in the dock, sweating profusely. She shouted at the top of her lungs, "Ye Wanqing, what good will you gain by pursuing our Xu family like this?!"

Ye Wanqing remained silent, while Xiao Hongzhe pointed out righteously: "Your Honor, the defendant is trying to intimidate the plaintiff!"

The judge immediately issued a warning: "Defendant, please stop threatening the plaintiff immediately!"

Xu Xinyi's face turned pale in an instant, and Ye Wanqing just glanced at her indifferently.

In the ensuing debate, Xiao Hongzhe stated in a clear and logical manner: "According to the relevant provisions of the Tort Liability Law, intentionally fabricating and spreading false facts to damage the reputation of others, if the circumstances are serious, constitutes defamation. In this case, the defendant's actions clearly constitute infringement..."

Xu Xinyi's defense lawyer was unable to fight back, and the outcome of the trial was already becoming clear.

Xu Xinyi maliciously fabricated rumors and slandered Ye Wanqing many times, and the consequences were extremely serious. The judge and jury unanimously determined that she had committed infringement.

Although the verdict was not announced in court, compulsory measures were taken against Xu Xinyi on the spot.

Bai Pinghui stood there in a daze, watching Xu Xinyi being taken away. She was at a loss and looked like a wooden chicken.

Qin Zhuyu quickly walked over to Ye Wanqing and gave her a warm hug: "Great, Wanqing!"

Ye Wanqing responded with a smile: "This is all thanks to Lawyer Xiao's professionalism and dedication."

Xiao Hongzhe gently pushed up his glasses and said modestly, "This is my duty. I will live up to the trust and expectations."
