Li Ya, who was in front of the court, removed her disguise. When everyone was facing her, she seemed very flustered, and could only lower her head deeply and follow closely behind the crowd.
Very quickly, the trial officially started. The moment the trial started, the court threw out the results of the examination with the two bracelets, causing Bai Yuexi to clench her fists while frowning.
It was unknown if it was because when Li Fengjue ordered them to do so, even the feeling of the age was taken into consideration, or because they bought all the appraisal agencies. In any case, the result showed that both of the bracelets had been worn for at least 5 years.
As for the custom-made procedures and documents related to the bracelet, they were all available. Even so, the bracelet that was supposed to be the most powerful evidence became the most useless.
However, what made Bai Yuexi even more uneasy was that the guy opposite him had told him that they had a new witness. She looked at Ouyang Mu in astonishment, only to see his face ashen, looking extremely ugly. She could only helplessly look towards the door where the witness had come out, and when she saw him coming out, a trace of despair emerged from the bottom of Bai Yuexi's heart.
After leaving the court, Bai Yuexi didn't know how she came back. Her eyes were blank as she laid on the bed, and no matter how Chen Ying tried to persuade her, she couldn't react in the slightest.
The trial ended and Li Ya was acquitted. A deliberate murderer was acquitted and released just like that, because the public lawyer took out a certificate given by the mental hospital.
Ever since they returned from the court, Bai Yuexi had locked herself in her room the entire time. No matter how Chen Ying tried to persuade her, she just had to calm down.
Thinking about everything that had happened in the court, Chen Ying wanted to kill Li Ya and everyone else's face. She wanted to tear that person to shreds.
Ouyang Mu was also silently sitting in her living room with his hands on his chin. When Chen Ying saw him, she immediately got angry, "That's exactly what you promised! This is how you help Yuexi fight this case! "
Ouyang Mu lowered his head slightly, "I apologize."
"Sorry! What's the use of apologizing! Could you redeem Yuexi's reputation!? Sorry, can you give that bitch Li Ya a penalty? " Chen Ying held the pillow and madly smashed it onto Ouyang Mu's body. Ouyang Mu sat there and endured the pain without moving.
Chen Ying's voice was loud and Bai Yuexi could hear her clearly within the room. A stream of tears slowly flowed out from the corner of her eyes and fell onto the bed.
She never thought that when Ling Yun appeared on the witness stand, Bai Yuexi felt like she was going to suffocate. It was him who destroyed her family.
Before the trial, she was still thinking that there was a chance to sympathize with Li Ya's rumour that she had cheated on her marriage, but who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, it was her turn.
Due to Ling Yun's previous husband's identity as well as the many first-rate media outlets present at the time, her 'bad deeds' were instantly broadcasted to the entire nation as facts.
In the eyes of the masses, only the fact that they believed themselves to be true had ever occurred to them. They did not know, and did not want to know, whether it was true or not.
Right now, they only knew that there was a woman with an aqua personality called Bai Yuexi who seduced men everywhere, and in the end, was killed by someone.
Downstairs, Chen Ying was still harshly reprimanding Ouyang Mu, but Ouyang Mu did not refute a single word she said the entire time.
Bai Yuexi wiped the tears off her eyes, stood up from the bed, walked to the door and opened it, then walked out.
"Chen Ying, don't blame him anymore. This has nothing to do with him."
"Don't say anything, let me teach you …" Chen Ying was startled and immediately turned around. Seeing Bai Yuexi who had just walked down the stairs, she quickly ran over and hugged her. I'm so worried about you, Xiao Yueyue. "
Bai Yuexi hugged Chen Ying and patted her lightly, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'm already fine."
Chen Ying held onto her shoulder and looked at her carefully, "You … Is everything really okay? "
Bai Yuexi nodded, "Mn, I'm fine now." After she finished speaking, she let go of Chen Ying once more and walked in front of Ouyang Mu.
Bai Yuexi reached out to interrupt Ouyang Mu who was about to speak, "No need to apologize, you didn't let me down. On the contrary, I need to thank you.
Ouyang Mu opened his mouth, and gently shook his head, "I'm sorry, I was unable to stop him."
"You've worked hard, you've done enough for me, and I really appreciate it. "Thank you." After she finished speaking, Bai Yuexi even extended her hand out to shake hands with Ouyang Mu.
Ouyang Mu hesitated for a moment, then extended his hand out. "We still have a chance, we can still appeal."
Bai Yuexi's body was obviously trembling, but she still said calmly, "No, no need, let's do it like this, I do not want to continue entangling myself with her."
Ouyang Mu pursed his lips and agreed, "Alright, I respect your opinion."
After sending off Ouyang Mu, Chen Ying sat in the living room with him. Bai Yuexi lightly leaned on Chen Ying's shoulder, "Chen Ying, tell me, is money really something that you can do whatever you want? No matter how hard we try, how insistent we are, or how much we believe in justice, justice has already been swallowed up by money and driven by interests. "
Chen Ying also hugged Bai Yuexi tightly, "This world is so cruel. The strong preys on the weak, and are forever people with money and power. They stand at the top and do whatever they want, but the ones at the bottom can only be played by them."
"That's why there are so many people who are trying their best to climb up. They might not even use any means." Bai Yuexi suddenly stood up, "I want to go up too, stand at the top, I don't want to be treated as a pawn by others, I don't want to be manipulated by others."
Chen Ying looked at Bai Yuexi worriedly, "That would be very difficult, very difficult."
Bai Yuexi and Chen Ying looked at each other, "I am not afraid, no matter how difficult it is, I still want to give it a try. Rather than being used by others, with no chance at all, I would rather give it a try, even if there's only a sliver of hope."
"Mm, I believe you. You will definitely succeed." Chen Ying nodded and looked at Bai Yuexi with sincerity.
In the end, before Bai Yuexi could prepare to climb to the peak, they were pulled out by Chen Ying and they flew all the way to San Ya.
The two stayed in San Ya for a long time. During this time, Chen Ying pushed away many of the jobs on her back, saying that it had been a long time since she last came out to play, and wanted to accompany Bai Yuexi for a while.
When the two of them returned to the Feng City, Chen Ying slipped away without the slightest hesitation. According to her previous work schedule, she would have to work overtime for at least half a month.
Bai Yuexi did not bother with her, and since he could not help her, she started to seek death at her own job online.
After Chen Ying finished working overtime, she finally had the time to go out for a meal with Bai Yuexi. Then, she introduced some work to Bai Yuexi. "Pick any one of these."
Bai Yuexi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What are you doing, why do I feel like you're a trafficker, where are you selling it to?"
Chen Ying stopped her words and shot her a glance, "I specifically picked this out for you, there are still a lot of work, but they're nothing much. I didn't tell you that there are a lot of people who are going to snatch it from you. "You still don't appreciate it."
"Alright, alright, thank you very much. Here, this piece of meat is for you." As he spoke, he fed a piece of meat to Chen Ying's mouth.
Chen Ying laughed happily, "Hmph, that's more like it." Chewing the meat in her mouth, she mumbled, "So, have you thought about it yet? Do you want that job?"
Bai Yuexi smiled but didn't say anything, and gently shook her head.
Chen Ying raised her eyebrows, "Aiyo, they don't even catch your eyes, looks like I can only let you have a seat with me."
Bai Yuexi immediately picked up another potato and stuffed it into her mouth, covering her mouth with it, "Alright you, those jobs are pretty good, I'm not looking down on them, it's just that I've already found a company, and will be interviewing tomorrow."
Chen Ying opened her eyes wide, forcefully swallowing down the food in her mouth, "Hey, are you serious?"
"Right. Seriously." Bai Yuexi said as she looked at her with a serious expression.
Chen Ying stared at her for a long time. She felt that she was really serious, so she gave up on the idea of persuading her.
