Before the court hearing.
Wangzhu was with her parents.
Wangzhu’s mother said, "Dear, don’t pay too much attention to the comments online. Those comments don’t matter. Liu Xiaonian just lost a brother, and she’s trying to harass you online. Don’t care about what the netizens say, don’t even look at your phone. They’re just doing it on purpose. Honestly, what does Liu Jun’s jump into the river have to do with you? He chose to jump into the river himself, so unless you were the one who pushed him?"
Wangzhu’s father added, "It’s truly unfair, idiot wants to commit suicide and blames it on my daughter, what nonsense is this? Isn’t this moral coercion? Isn’t spending money a normal part of dating? Guys who are stingy and broke shouldn’t be dating, shameful isn’t it?"
Wangzhu nodded, "Exactly, it’s disgusting. They’re just bullying me, everyone’s harassing me online. What did I do wrong? He willingly gave me money, he couldn’t think straight and chose to end his life, but just because I took money from Liu Jun, does it mean I have to marry him? Is threatening suicide if I don’t marry him now because Liu Jun committed suicide asking me to return all the money? Why should I?"
The more Wangzhu thought, the angrier she became.
Isn’t dating also an investment?
Her calling him affectionately like "honey" every day gave Liu Jun emotional value, didn’t it?
She was in a relationship for two years, weren’t those two years of youth valuable?
Youth is priceless!
Wangzhu felt that sixty thousand over two years wasn’t enough!
Spending this much on day-to-day expenses while dating was normal, Liu Jun shouldn’t have dated her if he was broke.
After being in such a long relationship, in the end, Liu Jun wants to use the dating expenses to coerce her?
Spending money on her means she has to marry him?
Wangzhu said, "I really am upset, nobody seems to care about my feelings. I gave a lot to this relationship, Liu Jun only gave money, but I gave emotions, my emotional investment, my youth are priceless. Now Liu Xiaonian is spreading rumors all over the internet, a bunch of netizens are attacking me, and I think I’ve done enough, it’s not like I’m not returning the money, I’ve already given back 100,000, what more do they want? Must they push me to the edge?"
Wangzhu felt more and more unfair.
Doesn’t what she gave count?
Why should she be held responsible and repay because Liu Jun jumped into the river?
Why?
She has already shown willingness to apologize, returned the money, what else do they want from her?
Isn’t spending twenty thousand a year on a relationship normal?
If he couldn’t afford it, why date?
Dating naturally involves costs.
Wangzhu said, "I want Liu Xiaonian to compensate me for mental distress, she’s spreading lies about me, she has to compensate me, or she can go to jail, asking me to return money? I refuse! Why should I return money? If she insists I return money, I’ll make sure she goes to jail, Liu Xiaonian stirs online harassment against me, she must go to jail!"
Wangzhu’s father said, "Don’t worry about the lawsuit, we are your support, surely, Liu Xiaonian will be jailed, although legally, you might have to return some money back because you weren’t married. But we can make Liu Xiaonian pay you for mental distress, otherwise send her to jail! It’s okay to ask for more for mental distress, you’re still struggling with depression, all because of Liu Jun and Liu Xiaonian, they should compensate!"
Wangzhu said to her dad, "Dad, I won’t give them a penny, if they judge then so be it, I don’t have money. I won’t pay, I’ll drag it out, I’ll transfer all the money to you, worst case you claim to cut ties with me, no way I’m giving them money, why should I? Isn’t my youth worth money? I’ll claim I have no money, they can’t jail me for it, can they?"
Wangzhu transferred all her money to her father.
Soon, Wangzhu contacted her lawyer, Zhao Bingqi.
Zhao Bingqi said, "The lawsuit is just about ready, I’ve checked the evidence, of the 530,000, 200,000 are special amounts, another 200,000 were voluntarily given, no need to worry about everyday transfers of 130,000. From the lawsuit, Liu Xiaonian could only get back at most five or six thousand, nothing else is possible."
Hearing that she still has to return five or six thousand makes Wangzhu feel pained.
After all, she barely has two thousand worth of assets, and she’s spent all other money.
She transferred those two thousand to her dad, clearly she didn’t want to give a penny.
Wangzhu said, "Oh? I still have to return five thousand? That much?"
Zhao Bingqi said, "Yes, I’ll do my best to help you fight, if the case proceeds, you definitely need to return some money. Even in divorce, assets get divided, so it’s normal, five or six thousand is the limit. But you can ask the other side to compensate over 100,000 for mental distress, considering your depression, compensation could be sought, don’t worry, at least make Liu Xiaonian compensate 200,000, if she refuses, imprison her for at least three years."
Hearing she could get 200,000 made Wangzhu smile excitedly, "Lawyer Zhao, thank you! By the way, the other lawyer is Gu Chen, I heard Gu Chen is quite famous, kind of like a Lawless Madman doesn’t that worry you?"
Zhao Bingqi said, "No matter what, the law applies. This case they can’t win, mark my words, you’ll definitely win, you’ll return some money but their compensation is much greater."
Hearing her lawyer’s analysis put Wangzhu at ease.
As for Gu Chen the Lawless Madman, Wangzhu didn’t understand him and didn’t worry much.
She was subjected to online abuse and was deeply affected by Yu Yu syndrome.
No matter who the other lawyer is it doesn’t matter!
...
...
a.m. the next day.
The court was about to open!
More viewers watched the live stream this time!
Because the case had such a huge impact!
The online attention was very high!!
There were all kinds of things said online, too many rumors and stories shared.
Netizens wanted to see the lawsuit.
But there was much anger about this!
A gold-digging woman, how could she repeatedly ask for money during a relationship? Managed to collect over sixty thousand in two years?
Getting this much money, is she even human?
Liu Jun worked hard to earn money, many called him a cat god because of his skills.
In the end, it turned out that Liu Jun only made two to three hundred thousand a year, and wouldn’t even order take-out costing more than ten bucks!
For fifty cents off, Liu Jun would cancel and reorder!
Such a good person, treated Wangzhu so well, yet was deceived and left with nothing!
Even a beast couldn’t do such things!
