When Fang Xueruo saw Fu Yunruo, she immediately became agitated. She had repeatedly pleaded to see Fu Yunruo, wanting to apologize and seek her forgiveness, hoping she would drop the charges, but there was never any response. The last time her mother visited, she dropped a bombshell: Mom and Uncle were getting divorced!
Fang Xueruo felt like her world was collapsing. Fu Zonghong divorcing her mother meant he would not only stop taking care of her, but he also blamed her mother. She had seen with her own eyes how much effort her mother had poured over the years to keep her position of Madam Fu, and how she gradually gained control over her husband, keeping him focused on her and preventing other women from approaching.
Fang Xueruo was proud of her mother and subconsciously imitated her. Growing up, she decided that Chang Zhuyou was the best man in her circle and thus set her eyes on him. She figured out Chang Zhuyou’s habits and preferences, gradually drawing him to her side…
So, her mother’s divorce threw Fang Xueruo into a spiral of panic. If Fu Zonghong could break free from her mother’s control, what about Chang Zhuyou? Now, he was all she had left. Losing him meant her total downfall.
Fang Xueruo’s eyes, filled with unspoken words and tears, looked pitifully at Chang Zhuyou.
Chang Zhuyou’s heart ached with extreme pity and sadness, desperately wishing he could immediately comfort her in his arms. Unfortunately, he could only remain sitting in the audience, where any slight movement would draw attention.
Soon, the judge opened the trial, and the court fell silent as the procedure progressed step by step.
Si Yue had hired a team of elite lawyers, the best money could buy, who effectively led the opposing lawyers by the nose. The expensive legal team hired by Chang Zhuyou stood no chance, knocked out by the difference in skill.
With each passing minute, Chang Zhuyou’s expression grew uglier.
Fang Xueruo also looked defeated, her face ashen with despair. By this point, her fate was sealed, regardless of whether or not she admitted her guilt. She had no way to refute the charges, but she couldn’t understand how the evidence came to be. She was sure that she had destroyed everything thoroughly. The other party shouldn’t know who he was dealing with, and it was impossible to trace the IP address back to her…
What Fang Xueruo didn’t know was that the evidence was partially fabricated. Si Yue had directly pinpointed her as the mastermind from the beginning, allowing his subordinates to uncover some traces. These alone were not enough to prosecute Fang Xueruo, so they created flawless evidence based on what they had found. As a result, the evidence, while fabricated, was indistinguishable from the real thing, even by Fang Xueruo herself.
As the trial intensified, the judge announced a 30-minute recess to deliberate on the verdict.
Finally, Chang Zhuyou found a chance to confront Fu Yunruo. Now that he was seeking a favor, he deliberately lowered his posture, but, being accustomed to superiority, his tone was unconsciously harsh. “Fu Yunruo, what will it take for you to let Xueruo go?”
Fang Wanping also approached, looking worn out and much older, with a heavy and gloomy expression. “Yunruo, if you hate me, come at me. Xueruo is still so young. I beg you to spare her,” she said plaintively, about to kneel, but was stopped in time by those around her.
