Chapter 375: 280. The court session is over

"It hurts."

"Really hurts!"

"It’s nothing like what the books say."

Guan Yongyi just felt a numbness from her waist to her back, as if her thighs had lost control, involuntarily swaying.

She wanted to wipe her sweat, drink some water, go to the restroom...

But she had no energy at all.

She didn’t even want to move a pinkie.

But fortunately, she had him, patient and gentle.

The very Lu Jincheng who had claimed everything before was just an appetizer had truly had a feast that morning.

The after-meal service was meticulous: he wiped her with a wet towel and fed her warm water, the only thing missing was literally carrying Guan Guan to the restroom.

Watching Guan Yongyi, one hand on her waist, the other supporting herself against the wall, limping along, the man couldn’t contain the smile in his eyes.

...

Luckily, Mr. Lu had planned ahead, and they had returned to Hang City the night before, giving Guan Yongyi ample time to recuperate.

Otherwise, she probably wouldn’t have spoken much, being too exhausted on the highway.

Yes, she was experienced now.

If she saw Zhou Sinin again, Guan Yongyi probably wouldn’t need to follow her best friend closely, meticulously analyzing every detail.

What stride, what spacing, what complexion...

Damn!

Stop analyzing crap!

If Lu Jincheng treated Zhou Sinin the same way he did today, would she be able to go out shopping with her the next day?

No way.

This time, Guan Yongyi truly saw the man’s destructive power.

Beyond that realization, she felt a twinge of petty joy.

She was finally ahead.

...

The two spent the whole day close together in the room, and when they reappeared in front of everyone, it was already noon.

As usual, Xie Yujia arranged for local Hang City cuisine, and the men and women in the team sat together, chatting about everything under the sun.

Though everyone knew that the lawyer’s assistant at Le Ying Law Firm and Mr. Lu were close, they still managed their gazes and expressions appropriately.

But seeing Guan Yongyi not walking very smoothly, their looks towards the young woman with short hair inevitably carried a bit of teasing.

Isn’t it too obvious?

Can’t the boss be more blatant?

He Ying let it pass; she knew Lu Jincheng’s private life best and was used to his multi-tasking.

The most surprised of all was actually Luo Lang, who had helped Guan Yongyi move.

In Luo Lang’s mind, the law student with short hair was an unreachable goddess.

He remembered that day, usually outgoing, he had become hesitant under her presence, lacking the courage to talk to Guan Yongyi.

Did Mr. Lu really... win her over?

In the unfamiliar Hang City, taking advantage of the business trip, hiding it from other close female friends, it was a textbook move.

"Why didn’t Lawyer Shang come?"

At the dinner table, Lu Jincheng asked curiously.

"She said she’s really swamped, busy organizing materials, the court session is tomorrow."

Xie Yujia pursed her lips, her gaze not much on Guan Yongyi but occasionally assessing Lu Jincheng’s expression.

Mr. Lu, well.

Everything’s great.

Outstanding ability, broad vision, strong tactics.

But as for personal private life...

Xie Yujia was a woman molded by the harsh realities of life, her insight exceptionally sharp.

From the moment Mou Keyan appeared by Lu Jincheng’s side, she had quickly ascertained after just a few meetings that there was definitely more than an employer-employee contract between Miao Miao and Mr. Lu.

It was a kind of mysterious aura.

Distance, microexpressions, tone of voice.

Every detail hinted at an understanding.

This was even more evident after they had become involved.

After having met with the older sister, now he had Guan Yongyi by his side, a stylistically distinct woman.

A flirty little boy.

Xie Yujia internally made this judgment.

"I won’t be joining everyone for dinner tonight, I took leave yesterday, and I must go help her this afternoon."

Upon hearing this, Guan Yongyi felt somewhat embarrassed.

As Lawyer Shang’s assistant, she had been utterly unprofessional during this business trip.

It really felt like traveling with a boyfriend!

Thinking of Shang Lingzhi alone in the hotel, holding case files and preparing for the trial, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of guilt.

"Okay, let’s give it our all tomorrow~"

Lu Jincheng nodded.

With food mixed with emotions, Xie Yujia noticed that Guan Yongyi had barely touched her food, and promptly called the waiter over, whispering a few words.

Upon returning to the hotel, several dishes, mainly aimed at nourishment, were delivered to Guan Yongyi’s room.

"Guan Guan, eat some of this; it’s good for your health."

Xie Yujia handed over the bag and turned to wave at her.

"..."

Guan Yongyi, with her gaze lowered, felt utterly lost, her face flushing with no clue what to say.

"Listen to your sister, eat a bit more."

...

At nine o’clock on a workday morning in the Shangcheng District Court of Hang City, the first-ever trial concerning JK uniform copyright infringement took place.

Due to the complex and challenging nature of the case, aside from the panel members, the Shangcheng District Court opened its doors to suggestions, actively responding to the voice of the public and even inviting representatives from the district to attend the hearing.

Both parties filled up the courtroom, the gavel sounded, and the trial officially began.

"Now we will investigate the first issue in dispute, starting with the plaintiff presenting evidence and statements."

"..."

"The investigation is over. According to the ’Civil Procedure Law of the People’s Republic of China,’ Article 127, we will now proceed to courtroom debate. The debate should focus on the central issues of this case, be truthful and fact-driven, and should persuade with logic rather than resort to personal attacks or use insulting language. Do not repeat facts or debate points already acknowledged by the opposing party. The plaintiff will speak first."

"..."

"The courtroom debate has ended; please, plaintiff, state your final thoughts."

"Since one party is unwilling to settle, no further mediation will be organized by this court. After deliberation, the court will schedule a date for the verdict, which will be announced later. Following the trial, all parties may submit written proxy statements. All parties should review the trial record and sign for confirmation at the court clerk’s office."

The trial unfolded without any surprises.

However, what astonished the e-commerce novices onlookers was that the trial did not end with an immediate verdict as some had expected.

In fact, in certain cases, involving complex legal issues and substantial evidence, judges need time to carefully consider and evaluate all relevant information to ensure a fair and accurate judgment.

In the judicial system, administrative and judicial powers often intertwine, especially in major complex cases where trial outcomes usually require discussion by a judicial committee.

Thus, even after a trial concludes, a judge may need additional time to draft the verdict announcement and the results.

Intellectual property cases, unlike simple civil cases typically decided immediately in court, follow ordinary procedure, and it is rare for a verdict to be issued on the spot; most are scheduled for a later date.

"Lawyer Shang, we will win, won’t we?"

Stepping out of the Shangcheng District Court, Xie Yujia immediately asked.

"Of course."
