Chapter 495 - 428: Gu Chen Takes Action—Wang Xiaoru, Get Ready for Prison!
The livestream viewers began to speak up.
[Really, do you think the court is your house?]
[You say you’ll drop the charges against Shen Fei if they give you half a million—are you kidding?]
[I’ve seen a lot in my life, but damn, I’ve never seen anyone as shameless as this.]
[Come on, what responsibility does Shen Fei have here? I don’t get it. Did he hit you? Show us the hospital report! If you were injured, sure, compensation is due, but you weren’t even hurt. Shen Fei handed over his wages, and now you want him to apologize? What exactly did Shen Fei do wrong?]
[Hahaha, I can’t hold back anymore, genius! All I can say is, Wang Xiaoru is a genius! Why isn’t someone like her in jail yet?]
[Please, Lawyer Gu, get Wang Xiaoru locked up soon; I really don’t want to see her face anymore.]
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Gu Chen stood up.
Gu Chen began to speak: "My client, Shen Fei, has no liability in this matter, neither civil nor criminal."
Upon hearing Gu Chen say this, the livestream audience stood up collectively.
Wang Xiaoru: "???"
Wait, why doesn’t Shen Fei bear any responsibility?
Is that reasonable?
Wang Xiaoru was unconvinced by Gu Chen.
Gu Chen continued: "From the evidence presented, Shen Fei engaged in a relationship with Wang Xiaoru with the intention of marriage. It was this intent that prompted him to hand over all his wages, all with the goal of marrying Wang Xiaoru."
"Wang Xiaoru has been manipulating Shen Fei, inducing him to transfer money to her... even convincing him to write that it was a voluntary gift."
"Every single conversation between Wang Xiaoru and Shen Fei has been documented here."
"Wang Xiaoru told Shen Fei she wanted a guarantee for their future marriage, claiming she was saving money for them and would return it when they married... even demanding Shen Fei prove his sincerity and saying the money could be used as a marriage fund...."
"Wang Xiaoru also said she needed to feel Shen Fei’s affection, and that way was by having him hand over his wages every month.... Leaving Shen Fei with just four or five hundred for pocket money, the rest all had to be given to Wang Xiaoru."
"Wang Xiaoru repeatedly persuaded Shen Fei to transfer money to her, using sweet talk in every sentence to demand Shen Fei prove his sincerity and give her a so-called sense of security."
"And what did Wang Xiaoru do with the money after receiving it? Did she really use it as marriage funds? No, she spent Shen Fei’s money at bars, hired male models, and even got pregnant by someone else."
Wang Xiaoru angrily said, "But if Shen Fei didn’t want to write ’voluntary gift,’ what could I do? It shows Shen Fei wanted to give me all his money; having written ’voluntary gift,’ the money is mine, and I can dispose of it however I like."
"I did think about marrying Shen Fei, but isn’t he just a blockhead? Can any girl seriously consider dating someone like Shen Fei? I don’t think so."
"Shen Fei couldn’t give me any emotional value. Initially, I wanted to marry him, but he failed to provide emotional value, so we broke up. Is that my fault? Didn’t I put effort into the relationship?"
Wang Xiaoru was agitated.
Why?
Shen Fei willingly gave her the money, and now wants it back?
On what grounds?
Can a voluntarily gifted item be demanded back?
If Shen Fei wins this case, countless lawsuits in the future might require the Little Fairy to return money she received.
Gu Chen interjected: "I am making a statement right now; I request the defendant to not interrupt my presentation."
With that, Wang Xiaoru finally closed her mouth.
Gu Chen continued: "Wang Xiaoru repeatedly induced Shen Fei to transfer money to her, promising to save for him, calling it a marriage fund, money to be used for their wedding...."
"So Shen Fei took it for real, believing that by giving the money to Wang Xiaoru, he would find true love, that he would win Wang Xiaoru’s affection. But in the end, Shen Fei only got the news that his girlfriend was carrying someone else’s child."
Gu Chen remarked: "Strictly speaking, Wang Xiaoru’s actions could be considered fraud. Using all sorts of sweet words and falsifying facts, she had Shen Fei willingly transfer her money every month, repeatedly demanding money from Shen Fei while painting a rosy picture...."
"Over just a year, Shen Fei transferred over 250,000 to Wang Xiaoru."
"Now Shen Fei discovers that all Wang Xiaoru’s promises were fake, all her pledges were just to swindle him out of all his money, and she wanted Shen Fei to send it to her as a ’voluntary gift,’ knowing that if the man transfers money to the woman normally, he could still reclaim it in court later."
"If the man writes ’voluntary gift,’ typically, the money becomes the woman’s, and even if the man tries to sue to get it back, it’s unlikely to succeed."
"Wang Xiaoru has committed fraud, totaling 250,000!"
Gu Chen directly charged Wang Xiaoru with fraud.
Actually, this case with Wang Xiaoru doesn’t fully amount to fraud.
To be strict, Shen Fei was too foolish, completely trusting Wang Xiaoru, and voluntarily gave all his money to Wang Xiaoru.
Now Wang Xiaoru refuses to return the money because he wrote ’voluntary gift,’ making it difficult for Shen Fei to reclaim it, even losing in court battles.
Wang Xiaoru was dumbfounded.
What? So quickly, Gu Chen labeled her actions as fraud?
Fraud? Is it that serious?
They were just boyfriend and girlfriend. Isn’t it normal for Shen Fei to hand over his wages?
They were already together, so of course, Shen Fei needed to hand over his wages.
Besides handing over wages, Shen Fei also had to earn money every month, and all earnings would be handed over as wages to her.
Should this amount to fraud?
Wang Xiaoru: "No, how can this be fraud? I’ve said before, I initially planned to marry Shen Fei, but later I didn’t want to be with him, and it was all because of Shen Fei."
"My male friend can earn millions a month, and lives a carefree, joyful life."
"But what about Shen Fei? Earning just ten or twenty thousand a month, how is that enough for my spending?"
"Fraud is impossible. Shen Fei willingly handed over his wages; what does that have to do with me?"
"He voluntarily gave up his wages, accepted all the consequences, and all the money was given to me willingly! The breakup was because of Shen Fei; the failed relationship was also because of Shen Fei, and now I’m supposed to take responsibility for this?"
