Chapter 499 - 430: Sentenced! At Least Ten Years in Prison!
Hearing Shen Jiarui ask her this...
Wang Xiaoru said, "Judge, I am willing to repay all debts, except for Shen Fei’s. I won’t give a penny for Shen Fei’s since all the money was willingly given to me by him, and I don’t acknowledge what Gu Chen said either."
Wang Xiaoru also said, "Judge, there’s one more thing I want to say...I’m willing to repay all debts, but I have no money at all. I can write an IOU first, and once I earn money from working, I’ll repay it. I’m willing to pay back the money, but I really don’t have any money right now."
"My male best friend needed money, so I gave him some, and then I had no money left. My family also needed money, so I gave it all to them. Now, I can’t produce a single penny under my name."
"Anyway, I’m willing to pay back the money, but it takes time. I can save fifty thousand a year, and I can promise to pay back Wang Haidi and Zhang Ruihua in full within fifteen years."
Wang Xiaoru did not dare to cause a scene in court; she knew that if she kept making a fuss, she’d end up in jail.
Wang Xiaoru was still cooperative, at least now she was quite cooperative in court.
After the lawsuit, Wang Xiaoru didn’t care anymore.
After all, it’s just writing an IOU.
What’s wrong with being a deadbeat?
At most, being a deadbeat just causes some issues with credit, at worst, not being able to take high-speed trains or planes, just staying home.
After all, she has parents, and they have money...she won’t starve to death.
It’s just being a deadbeat, what’s there to fear?
Does anyone actually pay back money after leaving the courtroom?
Absolutely not!
Wang Xiaoru also understands some law, and she’s scared of Wang Haidi and Zhang Ruihua looking for her for money.
So Wang Xiaoru had already transferred assets in advance.
As long as assets are transferred in advance, she won’t be convicted of "refusal to execute a judgment or ruling."
If she transfers assets after the court ruling, that would mean having the ability to execute but refusing to, which, if serious, could lead to a sentence of up to three years in prison, and if particularly severe, three to seven years.
But if Wang Xiaoru transfers assets in advance...it’s not illegal.
By then, needing to repay money...won’t exist.
How can she repay without money?
Seize assets under her name? But there are no assets under her name!
The court can’t freeze her parents’ assets directly, can they?
Impossible!
Wang Haidi: "???"
Zhang Ruihua: "????"
Wang Xiaoru wants to write an IOU? Isn’t that nonsense?
Even if she writes an IOU, will Wang Xiaoru pay back?
Will she pay everything back in fifteen years? By then, flowers would have withered.
Wang Xiaoru said, "I can pay interest, right? The interest could be according to the bank’s regular deposit, I’ll pay back a bit every year. I can write an IOU, and if I don’t pay, you can do whatever you want."
Even though Wang Xiaoru said this, she never intended to repay in her heart.
Wang Haidi said, "No, I disagree, I want my money! How long has it been since I lent you the two hundred thousand and now you say you’re out of money? You must repay!"
Zhang Ruihua also said, "Repay! I won’t accept an IOU, if you don’t repay I won’t give a letter of forgiveness, repay and I might consider it."
Wang Xiaoru said, "But I really don’t have money, what can I do? My parents don’t have money either...our whole family is very poor, most of my money went to my male best friend. What does this have to do with me? If I had money, would I not give it? If I don’t have money, even if you kill me, I can’t come up with any money."
...
Shen Fei has remained silent all this time.
He was utterly uninterested in engaging with this clown, Wang Xiaoru.
Gu Chen took out some documents and said, "After receiving the seven hundred thousand, Wang Xiaoru bought a piece of calligraphy from her father’s hand for a total of seven hundred thousand, and both parties even signed a contract. This calligraphy is written by Wang Xiaoru’s father, which has no market value."
"Wang Xiaoru also transferred a house under her name, worth a total of one and a half million, to her biological brother for free, signing an agreement as well."
"As of now, Wang Xiaoru has no assets under her name."
"After receiving the money, Wang Xiaoru maliciously transferred her assets, and now keeps claiming she has no money, talks about writing an IOU, does writing an IOU mean she’ll pay back?"
Hearing Gu Chen say this, Wang Xiaoru stood up and said, "Why wouldn’t I repay the money? There’s nothing wrong with what I did!"
"To me, my father’s writing is priceless! So why can’t I buy it for seven hundred thousand? This is called a collectible! Collectibles are usually hard to price with any market value!"
"A lot of people’s artworks and calligraphies aren’t worth much, right? If you want to talk about value, how much is Wang Xizhi’s writing worth? Isn’t it just some calligraphy? But why is it expensive? Because it’s rare, because someone is willing to buy it! If someone is willing to pay the price, then it is worth this value!"
"My father’s writing is also unique! To me, this piece is worth seven hundred thousand! So, I’m willing to buy it, to cherish it my whole life. Do you understand what art is?"
Wang Xiaoru continued, "As for transferring the house to my brother, that’s very normal. My brother is already eighteen, he’ll need to get married in the future, and nowadays marriages need houses; I had no choice but to give the house to my brother, after all, he will get married one day."
"As a sister, seeing my brother needing to get married, can’t I give him my house freely? After all, the house is mine! What’s wrong with me giving my house to my brother?"
"So what if I have no assets under my name? I’m a girl; I can marry someone in the future! Why do I need money? I love my family so much, my brother and my father are the most important people to me! Isn’t this very normal?"
Wang Xiaoru looked at Gu Chen and said, "Gu Chen, if you don’t understand, don’t speak. Do you have family, huh? Can you feel the joy of having parents? Do you have family, huh?"
Gu Chen: "..."
Yeah, in this world, he truly had no parents anymore.
But in his village, he still had grandparents.
His grandparents were still alive...
His parents had tragically passed in a car accident.
Even without parents, Gu Chen was still quite happy being a lawyer.
But Wang Xiaoru’s words...were just disgusting.
Gu Chen didn’t care about Wang Xiaoru’s personal attacks.
Wang Xiaoru’s personal attacks were useless.
However, what she said did leave Gu Chen feeling uncomfortable.
Gu Chen spoke, "Judge, Wang Xiaoru maliciously transferred all her assets, leaving aside the collective seventy thousand from Wang Haidi and Zhang Ruihua, which Wang Xiaoru extorted and then maliciously transferred."
"The court should freeze these seventy thousand assets and revoke Wang Xiaoru’s actions."
Wang Xiaoru, "No, who said I maliciously transferred assets? Do you have evidence? I haven’t broken the law, have I? Have I committed a crime? The crime of refusing to execute a judgment or ruling...an offense requires that I transfer assets after a court ruling to be convicted, do I have a conviction?"
Gu Chen said, "When one transfers assets at an obviously unreasonable low price, or accepts others’ assets at an obviously unreasonable high price, or provides a guarantee for others’ debts, thereby affecting the realization of the creditor’s rights, and the counterpart knows about it, the creditor can exercise the right to revoke."
Gu Chen continued, "The third point I want to make is...."
"Wang Xiaoru has committed defamation and slander by repeatedly posting content on Little Red Book, TikTok, and live streaming online, smearing and slandering Shen Fei."
"Wang Xiaoru’s posts have been viewed over tens of millions of times, leading to a mass of netizens insulting and cursing my client, Shen Fei...."
"As a result, my client Shen Fei has suffered immense mental stress, affecting his daily life."
"Wang Xiaoru’s actions have already infringed upon my client Shen Fei’s right to reputation, causing a significant impact on him...."
"Wang Xiaoru has repeatedly claimed on platforms that Shen Fei is PC, YP, accused him of domestic violence, gambling... fabricating various actions to defame Shen Fei, committing defamation, insult, and picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and should be sentenced to more than ten years of imprisonment for multiple offenses!"
