Quick Transmigration: The Day I Blew Up My Housemate

2.22 CEO with a Tintin (22)

Feng Mian was made to exchange seats with Hao Junli on the podium. Sitting ramrod straight, with both her hands clasped, her handsomeness did not diminish amidst the dull court surrounding.

One of the ways to let a person's guard down was to ease them in with light conversations. Attorney Han started out by arbitrarily complimenting CEO's Li's looks. "CEO Li, you sure look well dressed today."

What he didn't expect was to be shoved with dog food not a moment later. "Thank you, Junli picked it out for me."

LXT's CEO attitude was a bit too spontaneous.

"Let me ask you this, is it true that you are, or were in love with Ms Chun Hua not too long ago?"

"Not true." Her answer was fast and direct.

Attorney Han loured. "Are you sure? If you lie in court, you'll be committing perjury which is-"

"I know what perjury is. My answer is an honest no."

The attorney questioning her laughed sarcastically. "You should just tell the truth, Mr Li. Every man makes mistakes once or twice, it is not surprising that someone of your status will stray. Especially when the affections between you and Ms Chun Hua are so long-lasting."

Feng Mian turned the tables on him in a tick. "You've cheated before, Attorney Han? No wonder you're single! But it's wrong to put every man in the same shoe box as you, my father specifically told me that raising a family means making an honest person out of myself. Scums who lie to their families also lie to themselves."

Attorney Han felt like he was directly attacked. His tone unintentionally showed hints of hounding. "Chun Hua, Yu Yan. With all the rumours surrounding you and women, are you saying that you're really innocent, Mr Li Xiaocheng?"

Feng Mian was unruffled. She wasn't Li Xiaocheng, why should she feel guilty?

"What can I do? Could I blame my parents for giving me my good looks? I don't know what I did in my past life, but God had been particularly good to me, and even the people around me are blessed with good looks. There's a reason why rumours can't be considered evidence. Speaking of evidence, you claim that I'm a cheater, do you have any evidence?"

Li Xiaocheng indeed had to thank God aka the author of this goddamn book for his good fortune.

Feng Mian turned towards the judge. "If I weren't straight- I mean loyal Your Honor, tsk, tsk, tsk. But alas... there are thousands of trees in the forest... but I only wanted this one oh~" she lamented sentimentally.

[SYSTEM PROMPT: OOC level is 25%. Cautioning host to be more prudent.]

Hao Junli caught the wink his playful housemate relayed and was almost unable to restrain his chuckles. The air between the two of them made the judge and juries felt as if they were fed with spoonfuls of involuntary dog food. The interrogation had evolved to become a public confession.

Attorney Han became agitated. "Then are you saying Ms Yu Yan's confession was a lie?"

"Are you saying someone who attempted murder can give an unbias testimony? Not only was she an attempted murderer, but she's also a sexual harasser!"

As if she had just remembered something important at the nick of the moment, Feng Mian's head whipped to the judge. "Your Honor~!" she wailed nasally.

"I have my pride as the man of the family, but as to not implicate my wife further, I can only tell the truth! I had a hunch that Ms Yu Yan held inappropriate feelings for me during the time she worked at my company. But I thought it would be spiteful of me to fire someone just based on their emotions. Not to mention, that her private life is also pitiable. My wife who felt for her lent her money, but who knew that she was so ungrateful. This Yu Yan is like the train on Indiana Jones, she just keeps bumping into me at every direction! Not even one-tenth as pretty as my wife, didn't she look in the mirror before coming onto me? It's- it's, what's the idiom for it...?"
