Chapter 289 Trial (Part 1)
Despite Gu Yu's repeated dissuasion, even stating that the company would cut off water, electricity, and internet at night, Kang Jia and the other four guys stubbornly refused to leave.
They seemed determined to stick with the company through thick and thin, even if it collapsed.
At that point, Gu Yu had completely run out of options.
He could only let them have their way.
Human energy is limited; he didn't believe these guys could last a week. Naturally, they would leave once they couldn't stand it any longer.
But he had clearly underestimated the willpower of Kang Jia and the others.
For the next five days, Kang Jia and his team truly lived at the company.
Their computers never even shut down. Your journey continues on empire
Kang Jia's keyboard even broke at one point, and Gu Yu wouldn't have known the extent of their dedication if they hadn't had to ask Hu Xiaoya, the finance officer, for a replacement.
Hearing about this, he could only sigh helplessly.
Some bulls just can't be brought back, because they were truly stubborn!
...
Two weeks after returning from the criminal police brigade, Gu Yu finally received the long-awaited summons to court.
[Haidong District People's Court
Summons to Court
Dear Mr. Gu Yu, our court has taken up your case, which is scheduled for a hearing on November 9, 2020, at 10:30 am. We hope you, as the plaintiff, will be punctual in attending the court session.
]
He took a picture of the summons and sent it to Mr. Luo San, who sent back a photo of his own summons.
The two notices were almost the same.
"Meet me at the courthouse entrance at ten in the morning, Tomorrow," said Mr. Luo San in a single statement.
After sharing the news with Boss Pu and the others, their faces lit up with joy.
Laosi's defamation case was finally going to trial.
As the jury, they would at last witness Mr. Luo triumph in court!
The next morning.
Gu Yu got up early and spent a long time in front of the mirror grooming himself.
"What should I do, I'm actually a bit nervous."
He turned to look at Lin Xinyue.
Lin Xinyue couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "The evidence in your case is conclusive, and with Mr. Luo there, how could you possibly lose!"
"And you're nervous?"
But Gu Yu shook his head, pretending to be coquettish: "Aww, it's my first time~"
"..."
Speechless, Lin Xinyue reached out and grabbed Gu Yu by the ear.
This guy was getting bolder by the day.
"Ouch—Ouch! Ouch! I'm wrong, my dear, I'm wrong, let go! I have to appear in court later; a swollen ear wouldn't look good!"
Gu Yu quickly pleaded for mercy.
How could he have expected that his little antic would lead his beloved to actually be so fierce!
Lin Xinyue let go of his ear and pouted: "Your coy act is really a bit sleazy, you know!"
Gu Yu: "…Really?"
He stared at himself in the mirror for three seconds.
Then he broke into a smile: "No way! I'm still very handsome, okay!"
Lin Xinyue, seeing him so full of himself, raised her hand again.
But this time, Gu Yu was wise and ducked out from under her elbow.
Lin Xinyue sighed helplessly.
Is this what a man in the throes of love is like?
Full of innocence and mischief?
Seeing Gu Yu making faces at her from outside, Lin Xinyue closed the bathroom door on him.
She too started to adjust her appearance in the mirror.
Looking at her flawless skin in the mirror, Lin Xinyue was always amazed.
The pill that Gu Yu had given her to eat was just too incredible.
Her appearance now was even more perfect than at the peak of her beauty!
Her skin was as smooth as a baby's, all her fine lines had disappeared, and even the spots caused by pigmentation were completely gone.
This wasn't just about treating the skin!
It was as if she had been given a brand new face!
To call Gu Yu's pill an Immortal Pill was certainly no overstatement; for a woman, appearance could mean everything, and what else could a pill that granted one perfect beauty be, if not an Immortal Pill?
If it were put up for auction in the market, she was confident that it would fetch at least ten million!
Perfect skin was simply too devastating for women.
It could drive beauty-loving girls completely mad!
Gu Yu didn't hesitate at all to give her such a precious thing.
This made her feel the deep love Gu Yu had for her.
A sensible woman never cared how much her lover could give her, only whether what he gave was the most precious.
In her eyes, what Gu Yu gave was indeed the most precious.
What seemed to be just an extremely valuable pill was actually Gu Yu's sincerity.
No matter how rare and precious, as long as it made her happy, he was willing to give everything for her.
"Lin Xinyue, you're really very lucky and fortunate!"
Lin Xinyue cradled her face and revealed a big smile in the mirror.
"I think so too~"
Gu Yu's voice came from outside the door; Lin Xinyue turned her head and could see his ear pressed against the frosted glass.
This guy… he's becoming more and more narcissistic!
After a final check of her clothes, she stepped out of the bathroom.
Gu Yu quickly retracted his head, his eyes fixated on the ceiling as if he hadn't heard or said anything just moments ago.
Lin Xinyue, unwilling to burst his bubble, walked up and took his hand.
"Let's go~ Let's go to the court and bring all those who slandered and defamed you to justice!"
She smiled radiantly, just like the loveliest princess in a fairy tale.
Gu Yu was mesmerized and couldn't help but lower his head and gently kiss her on the lips.
When he looked up again, Lin Xinyue pointed at his mouth and burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha… Your mouth is all covered in lipstick!"
Gu Yu's expression turned awkward, and as he wiped his mouth with his hand, he found it smeared with Lin Xinyue's lipstick!
He hurried back to the bathroom and, staring at his slightly coquettish reflection in the mirror, fell into deep thought.
"Actually, it looks quite nice, doesn't it?"
Gu Yu turned his head and winked at Lin Xinyue.
Lin Xinyue shrugged and pulled out a lipstick from her handbag: "If you really think it looks good, then I'll do your makeup for you!"
She looked at the lipstick in her hand; it was the Flame Blue Gold she had bought at Dior when Gu Yu had accompanied her.
She had been reluctant to use it, saving it for today's important occasion.
"Do my makeup?"
The thought of going to court with makeup on sent shivers down Gu Yu's spine, and he quickly shook his head in refusal.
Then he buried his face in the basin and frantically washed his mouth.
It took a while to get completely clean.
But when he looked up, he saw that his lips had turned a natural red from the scrubbing…
Lin Xinyue laughed until she was bent over double.
Gu Yu was being too silly this morning!
"Sigh, let's just go, let's go!"
Gu Yu, no longer caring about his mouth, pulled Lin Xinyue out with him.
At that moment, the entrance of the Haidong District People's Court was crowded with a large number of reporters.
Because today, a case where one was suing seven media outlets was going to be tried here!
And the defense lawyer for the plaintiff was Mr. Luo San!
