After I died, I became the white moonlight of the crazy villain.
Chapter 154 The Situation Reversed
Fu Xinyi kept her eyes fixed on the stage. After hearing what I said, she did not refute me, but spoke slowly.
“You shouldn’t ask me what I did to him. After all, he’s a father, and he just did what he was supposed to do.”
Fu Xinyi's short sentence suddenly made me realize that the problem wasn't with Xiang Shang, but with his daughter, Xiang Jiao.
So Fu Xinyi really had Xiang Jiao under his control, using her to threaten Xiang Shang. I took a deep breath; I never expected Fu Xinyi to become so shameless.
Although Xiang Shang had indeed pressured him about the stock issue before, Xiang Jiao had always supported him.
She always protected him at school, and even when something happened, she always seemed to be on his side. In the end, Xiang Jiao was helping an ungrateful wretch.
I turned my head and glared at him, but Fu Xinyi's smile became even more blatant. He leaned close to my ear and whispered, "I have to thank you for this. If I hadn't been keeping an eye on you, I wouldn't have discovered that Xiang Jiao had become a hostess. You delivered this opportunity to me."
I felt regretful; I shouldn't have let Xiang Jiao leave that night.
Unfortunately, it's too late for anything else now. Although Xiang Shang changed his story on the spot, the evidence is still there, and he can't deny it.
As I pondered this, Fu Xinyi lightly blew a breath into my ear and said, "It's not too late for you to beg me now, otherwise there will be more good shows to come."
I frowned, somewhat puzzled. Before I could say anything, Ge Zeyu grabbed my arm and put his other hand on my shoulder, separating me from Fu Xinyi.
"Young Master Fu, your engagement has been dissolved. Have some self-respect!"
He emphasized the last two words, his eyes flashing with cold light.
Fu Xinyi slowly sat up straight, the smile on his face gradually fading. His gaze was fixed on Ge Zeyu, then swept over the two of us before he said meaningfully, "Young Master Ge, you're the one who helped her choose this."
I didn't understand what he meant. Ge Zeyu and I exchanged a glance, and we both saw confusion in each other's eyes.
At this moment, the courtroom door was pushed open from the outside, and a group of people in uniform rushed in. The leader took out a piece of paper and said, "Someone has filed a formal complaint that there have been instances of bribery and abuse of power during this open trial. Therefore, this open trial will be closed to the public."
"Secondly, I will temporarily take over as the presiding judge this time. This is an official letter. Now, please ask those who are not involved and journalists to leave first."
These words immediately caused an uproar among those present, who began to discuss the matter, saying that this was the first time they had ever encountered such a thing.
"Could it be that someone really bribed the judge?"
"We don't know which side cheated and framed someone else. We can only go back and wait for the results."
As the group left, I turned to look at Fu Xinyi's gentle face and couldn't help but shiver. The bad premonition grew stronger.
Ge Zeyu frowned and didn't say anything. After everyone else had been cleared out, the judge who was leading the group nodded to Fu Xinyi without making a sound.
I instinctively grabbed Ge Zeyu's arm and watched helplessly as the judge surnamed Liu replaced Judge Zheng.
Judge Zheng showed no fear whatsoever, as if he had already anticipated this, and calmly stepped down to listen to the proceedings.
Once everything was ready, Fu Xinyi stood up and said, "I have evidence here that proves the evidence presented by the plaintiff's lawyer was illegally obtained and cannot be used as evidence."
After saying that, he showed me and Ge Zeyu the photos of us secretly going into Xiangjiafa to take pictures of the house, and then he showed me the photos of us chatting and laughing with Judge Zheng at the clubhouse.
In addition, Xiang Shang had already been threatened and insisted that he had been misled by me and Ge Zeyu, which was why he lied and framed Bian Jiahui.
The favorable situation suddenly turned against us, and the winds shifted in one direction. I stood there, stunned, unable to utter a single word.
Ge Zeyu and I have also changed from plaintiffs to defendants.
Fu Xinyi's lawyer smiled, pointed at me and Ge Zeyu, and asked, "You said they instructed you. Was it both of them, or just one of them?"
As soon as the lawyer finished asking the question, I guessed Fu Xinyi's purpose.
I had been pressuring Bian Jiahui, trying to force her to choose between protecting herself and protecting Fu Xinyi. Now Fu Xinyi is using the same tactics against me and Ge Zeyu.
And what he just said was something he had anticipated, so he said it on purpose.
Xiang Shang hesitated for a while before raising his head and hesitantly pointed at me. At the same moment he pointed at me, Ge Zeyu stepped forward and blocked my way.
Then, without hesitation, he said, "From beginning to end, I was the only one who had contact with Xiang Shang. Wanwan was just accompanying him. Fu Xinyi, if you have any problems, you can come at me."
Fu Xinyi's eyes darkened for a moment, but he quickly smiled, stood up, and said, "Fine! Then I'll do it for you."
“Your Honor, I have submitted all my evidence. Now I am appealing against Ge Zeyu for bribery and defamation.”
Judge Liu was naturally on Fu Xinyi's side. When he looked at Ge Zeyu, his eyes flickered slightly. "Since neither of you has any reason to agree, I will now announce the result."
"Wait!" I hurriedly spoke up at this moment, but he had already announced it, and it was no use for me to stop him.
Moreover, once this news gets out, it won't be easy for Ge Zeyu to clear his name. Thinking of this, I took a deep breath and looked at Fu Xinyi. "Before announcing the results, I hope we can have a proper talk."
Fu Xinyi looked at me with a mocking gaze, as if she had known all along that I would make this choice, and immediately agreed after I finished sleeping.
When we arrived at the mediation room, after everyone else had left, Fu Xinyi sat in a chair and looked at me leisurely, saying, "If you kneel down and beg me now, and promise not to have any more contact with Ge Zeyu, and to properly fulfill our marriage agreement, I might consider letting him off the hook."
Seeing his smug look, I suppressed my anger and said in as calm a tone as possible, "I'll use that piece of land in the east of the city as an exchange, in exchange for you withdrawing your appeal right now."
The Fu family really wanted this piece of land in the east of the city. Last time, Director Gao made us sign a transfer agreement, but we tricked them halfway through, and the land had already been transferred to my name.
Now, the only bargaining chip I have left is this piece of land. Ge Zeyu's safety is the most important thing. To prevent him from being arrested, I have no choice but to give up this land.
"Do you think we'd have another child like this?"
Fu Xinyi narrowed his eyes, then suddenly stood up and grabbed my neck, questioning me in a sinister tone, "Or have you never thought much of me?"
