Chapter 182 Giving testimony
When Xia Nuan heard Mi Ke’er’s words, she thought of the recording pen that was broken by Ye Sichen and became stern immediately, “I know that you put the recording pen and the invisible camera on me. And I know you did that to make him misunderstand me. Actually, you don’t have to waste your time to drive a wedge between me and him. I’ve always been very shameless in his eyes. I just want to come here to see the children. I never thought about having any connection with him.”
Mi Ke’er smiled like she heard a big joke, then she said, “Do you think I’m blind? When you kissed him, you pretended to be very shy to catch his eyes. You don’t think I know that you have been trying to hook up with him in the locker room? The traces on Mr. Ye’s chest is left by you as well. Did you do that deliberately?”
Before Xia Nuan could answer, Lacy stepped forward and said, “Mi Ke’er, what are you talking about? Xia Nuan and Ye Sichen have had three children. For the sake of them, they should be recombined. Why do you have to stop them?”
“Shut up! It’s all your fault. If you didn’t take her here, nothing would happen. Mr. Ye found a monitor and a recording pen on her. He almost believed that I was in collusion with her. He already knew her true features and told me to beware of her! So, she will not be allowed to see her children in the future.”
Mi Ke’er retorted upon Lacy. Lacy still wanted to say something. But seeing her furious face, he couldn’t help but doubt Xia Nuan.
“If you don’t believe in me, you can query her. Of course, she will not admit it and she will tell you that I did all of these in secret.”
“Are you saying that, before he left, he told you to prevent me from the children?” Xia Nuan felt distressed and asked Mi Ke’er with a shivering voice.
“Yes. A woman who gives false testimony for money is not worthy to be a mother. What can a mother like you teach your children? I’m afraid that the children won’t be taught well to be with you.”
Xia Nuan felt sad. She looked at the sleeping children through the bedroom, and then left silently.
When she went back absentmindedly, she was exhausted to lie on the sofa for a long time. Thinking of tomorrow’s hearing, she got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. She needed to pull herself together and be fully prepared for tomorrow.
At the place where she lived, there were several bodyguards staying there for night watch. There was also a car parked in the nook. The people inside watched Xia Nuan’s every movement.
“All of you, stay here.” Ken put on his sungla.s.ses and started the engine.
Several subordinates got off the car quietly.
“Listen to my instructions in due course.” Ken galloped away and disappeared into the night.
Late at night, Ken went to the detention room to visit Ye Sichen.
“Sir, do you want Xia Nuan to disappear from Modu City? If so, she couldn’t go to the court to give false testimony tomorrow.” Ken lowered his voice and proposed to Ye Sichen.
Ye Sichen stroked his forehead. He still couldn’t stand hurting Xia Nuan in that way.
“Are you still tolerant of her by now? I have already found out the truth. Di Yun bought her off for ten million…”
“I know.” Ye Sichen interrupted, “We don’t have to stop her from going to court to testify. Let nature take its course. Tell Paul and others to come back.”
Ken said worriedly, “But if you don’t stop her, she will defile you in court according to what Di Yun said. We can’t let her smear your reputation.”
“Let’s see what she is going to say in court tomorrow. If she really confuses right and wrong, I won’t be merciful. At that time, you can deliver the evidence that she was bought by Di Yun to the defense lawyer. Then he could expose it in public.” Ye Sichen said sternly.
“Fine.” Ken sighed helplessly, “I understand, you just want to sound out her feelings to you…”
Ye Sichen didn’t continue the topic, then he leaned to one side slightly and said, “You should go back and have an early rest. Tell the fans not to attack the media and the police. The truth of the matter will come out soon. Thank you for your effects these days.”
“Sir, don’t say that. I am your a.s.sistant. It’s my duty to help you with these.” Ken made a bow gratefully and left the detention room.
Ye Sichen sat back on the chair sadly.
When a wisp of the morning light shone into the room, Xia Nuan had already dressed in a black suit, and her hair was tied up behind her head. She didn’t look as sad as before, instead, she was a capable woman at the moment.
After eating breakfast hurriedly, Xia Nuan was about to go out, but saw a police car parking outside the door. Then she pondered.
Two uniformed police officers got off the car and came to her, “Ms. Xia, Prosecutor Di asked us to pick you up to the court. It’s time for the opening of the court session.”
Xia Nuan nodded. Looking at the two cold-eyed policemen standing behind her, she always had a feeling that Di Yun was sending them to isolate her. Without thinking too much, she got on the police car with them.
When there was still a long distance from the court of Modu City, Xia Nuan saw from the window that the road was surrounded by fans. They were holding large banners with the slogan of supporting Ye Sichen.
The surrounding vehicles were driving to the court one after another, presumably the media reporters who followed the trend.
Xia Nuan was a little uneasy. She put on her sungla.s.ses and a mask when they arrived.
However, when she just got off the car, some fans had already recognized her.
One of the fans called her name. She lowered her head and didn’t respond. But the reporters rushed to take pictures of Xia Nuan when they heard her name. Some even came up to interview her. The police stopped them and Xia Nuan finally escaped.
She managed to avoid the hotly pursue of those reporters and walked into the lounge inside the court.
On the way to the lounge, she also saw Luo Dai’er, Ye Linshen’s private doctor, and people who used to work at Ye’s Family. They all came to be witnesses. She even saw Ming Sen, the gardener who used to work at Feicheng Villa.
When Ming Sen saw her, his eyes brightened up, but then he lowered his head.
“Designer Xia is also called to testify.” Luo Dai’er held high her head and said weirdly, crossing her arms.
Xia Nuan didn’t say anything. She just sat in a corner.
Luo Dai’er smiled exaggeratedly and said, “If I’m right, Prosecutor Di Yun asked you to come here?”
Xia Nuan ignored her.
“He should have spent a lot of money on buying you off.” Luo Dai’er said with a sneer.
Xia Nuan refuted coldly, “Everyone knows what Ye Sichen did. Do you really think I need to be bought off to tell the truth? How ridiculous you are.”
“Blah, I really feel unworthy for Ye Sichen. Why does he like you? You can betray him for the sake of money. He ignores people who really cares about him, but believes in you! How stupid he is! Otherwise, how could he be burdened with such lawsuits twice? He is easy to believe in people and this is his retribution.” Luo Dai’er said resentfully.
Xia Nuan controlled her anger and didn’t want to argue with Luo Dai’er.
Ming Sen glanced at Xia Nuan from time to time, but did not have the courage to greet her.
The witnesses went to the court one after another at about 10 am. Xia Nuan was the only one left in the lounge. Looking at her wrist watch, Xia Nuan felt uneasy.
The witnesses who were summoned had not been to the lounge again, and it was estimated that they had already left.
“Ms. Xia, after ten minutes of adjourning, you should get in.” Di Yun sent his a.s.sistant to inform her.
Xia Nuan got up and nodded, “I am ready.”
Di Yun’s a.s.sistant smiled and said, “That’s good.”
Ten minutes later, the police walked into the silent court with Xia Nuan. At first glance, she saw Ye Sichen standing in the dock.
Ye Sichen was still in a suit, but looked gaunter. He was melancholy and stood there silently.
Su Weiwei’s parents sat on the plaintiff’s seat, opposite Ye Sichen. Two defense lawyers of Su’s Family sat next to them. It was said they were particularly famous in Modu City. They used to win dozens of lawsuits, So, their renown was very high.
Xia Nuan did not know their names, but had seen them on TV before.
On the stage, the judges, the inquisitors, and the jury were serious and sat properly. The families of the two parties and staffs sat in the audience. Among them were some fans who were randomly selected.
Xia Nuan forced herself to calm down and shifted her gaze from Ye Sichen to the two defense lawyers next to Su Weiwei’s parents.
These two lawyers were very famous. Apparently, Su Weiwei’s parents had spent a lot of money to hire them to engage in this lawsuit.
Su Weiwei’s parents didn’t want Ye Sichen to go to jail at all, but to obtain a sky-high price compensation from him. They were sure to win the lawsuit. So, they spent a lot of money to employ the well-known lawyers with confidence.
If money was all they wanted, she could…
“Xia Nuan, were you in Aoshi City on March 23?” The defense lawyer of Su’s Family interrupted Xia Nuan’s thinking.
Xia Nuan came to her senses and nodded, “Yes.”
“Ye Sichen called you up and asked you come to Modu City to visit Su Weiwei at that night, didn’t he?”
“Yes.”
“So, during the visit to Su Weiwei, did you go there with Ye Sichen, or did you visit her alone?”
Xia Nuan replied truthfully, “Sometimes I went with him and sometimes I went alone.”
The lawyer continued, “Was there anything unusual with Su Weiwei? Were there any injuries on her body? Have you found that Ye Sichen deliberately got close to her?”
“She got lung cancer and reached to the point of incurability at that time. So, there must be injuries on her. Cancer cells had spread to the internal organs of her body. She was very strong. She optimistically faced her disease and never cried. Ye Sichen did deliberately get close to her at that time.” Then the court became quieter than before.
Ye Sichen looked at Xia Nuan expressionlessly.
Su Weiwei’s parents couldn’t help but smile with ease.
“Excuse me, did he have any close physical contact with Su Weiwei when he was close to her?” The defense lawyer asked Xia Nuan loudly.
