Chapter 143: You're Just Like Your Mother

me Cheng Chen revealed her true feelings. 。Prior to this, she never admitted it. 。"Then tell him clearly, what's the use of crying like a ghost in front of me and Shushu" 。“Lin Zhicun is really hard...But when you think about it, there's no evidence. The reason is simple: Zhuoyuan Technology's public relations department has never publicly defamed her, only Wang Yan liked a few articles that implied criticism of her.

Both of them were too tired lately, so they hadn't had a good talk about this topic. Now that things have calmed down,

Zhuo Yu'an lowered his head and kissed her for a while before saying:

"This time, it's my fault."

“As for Wen Jian, I never intended to shield her. Before this, I just wanted to wait until everything was in order before handling it. Just two more months and I would have had her leave and take the corresponding legal responsibility.”

This is his true intention. His previous plan was to turn the passive into the active, to fire Wen Jian on charges of serious dereliction of duty and hold him accountable for the corresponding legal responsibilities. At that time, even if this matter were exposed, he could minimize the damage to Zhuoyuan Technology, and could even declare Zhuoyuan Technology as a company that truly cares for its customers and takes responsibility, absolutely not tolerating any illegal behavior.

He just needs time, because Wen Jian has a deep foundation at Zhuo Yuan Technology. She is in charge of several core product lines, so it has to be done step by step.

"So, subconsciously, you think my matters are unimportant and can wait," Shu Tinglan pointed out the problem directly.

Some things can wait, while others cannot. This is Shu Tinglan's view.

While Zhuo Yu'an had grown up under the high pressure of his grandfather and parents, he was a master of patience. Many things required careful planning and strategic maneuvering.

Actually, both of them were not wrong. They just grew up in different environments and have different ways of handling problems, so there was a clash of contradictions.

Zhuo Yu'an saw that she was holding back her tears, her eyes slightly red. He felt a pang of sympathy and reached out to hug her.

“I'm sorry, I'll be more careful about how I handle issues in the future.”

> just like getting to know someone, two completely different people living together isn't really about a princess and prince living happily ever after. It's about finding a comfortable way of being together through compromise and adjustment.

He softened his attitude, and Shu Tinglan felt a little emboldened, continuing to complain.

Besides Wenjian's matter, you also had your PR department and Wang Yan smear me online," she continued to accuse, her voice filled with indignation as she recalled the events.

“My fault, I didn't watch them closely.” At that time, he was summoned by relevant departments, shareholders and investors all came to him. He had no time to spare, when he found out, the online public opinion was already like this, he could only let the public relations department spend money to block keywords, and also let Wang Yan apologize to her. The fierce dispute with Wang Yan before was caused by him asking Wang Yan to apologize to her.

"Forget it, forget it. That's their job responsibility, their stance, I understand." She was very principled.

She is not being unreasonable. All she wants from him is a clear answer, from beginning to end.

As for Wen Jian's case, the lawsuit needs to be filed, but it is also deeply understood that her case is very special, even rare. There are currently no relevant and clear legal provisions to define the criminal facts. Especially since she is in good mental state now and there has been no harm, it is almost impossible to convict Wen Jian of attempted murder.

When the court session began, she appeared in court with Mr. Xiao and Teacher Zhou. On Wen Jian's side, her relatives present included Wen Lan, Wang Yan, and a powerful team of lawyers they had hired.

As Director Xiao predicted, the opposing legal team is incredibly formidable. Even with our compelling evidence, they remain unfazed and are pushing the narrative that Wen Jian's actions were merely negligent, not malicious towards the plaintiff.

They seized on this point, emphasizing that Wen Jian was the Chief Technology Officer of Zhuoyuan Technology and had dedicated many years to researching product safety. This time, he implanted a hypnotic system without the company's consent, aiming to conduct experiments rather than seeking revenge or harboring any malicious intent towards others.

Of course, Director Xiao had anticipated that the other party would use this as a defense. He was prepared and publicly announced Wen Jian's relationship with Shu Tinglan as well as their past disputes during the court session. This was done with Shu Tinglan's permission. She could now openly accept this relationship.

After Xiao's defense, Wen Lan's face was extremely ugly across from him. Wang Yan, who had been supporting Wen Jian all along, looked shocked. He hadn't digested the news that Zhuo Yunan said Shu Tinglan was his wife last time, and now he said Shu Tinglan was Wen Jian's half-sister. His entire worldview had collapsed. So, all the sincerity and love he had for Zhuo Yunan and Wen Jian were ignored They kept everything from him.

The opposing counsel applied to the judge, requesting that the relationship proof provided by Mr. Xiao be deemed invalid and irrelevant to the case. After deliberation, the judge agreed to the application. This was because there was no valid evidence to prove the relationship claimed by Mr. Xiao.

The opposing counsel then produced another report, proving that Wen Jian had no subjective intention to harm.

That was a dataset, modified within the hypnotic system developed by Wenjian in Rian. Based on development in Iran, the last few data points were adjusted to induce hallucinations in the hypnotized subject, but it would never lead to suicide.

This data has been authenticated and is both true and valid, and it is sufficient to prove that Wen Jian did not intend to kill Shu Tinglan.

This single piece of evidence was enough to determine the nature of the case. Wen Jian's hypnosis was only for experimental purposes and did not constitute a crime, so in the end she was only sentenced to administrative punishment and a public apology to Shu Tinglan.

The ending was within her expectations, enough. Wen Jian had no place left in the industry, and publicly apologizing to her, these two things were already the greatest punishment for Wen Jian, who had always been arrogant.

As I walked out of the courtroom, I let out a long sigh of relief. Things with Wen Jian were finally over, and I could devote myself wholeheartedly to work.

Wen Jian and Wen Lan followed closely behind. Wen Lan strode straight towards Shu Tinglan, raising her hand as if to slap her, but Shu Tinglan had anticipated this, grabbing Wen Lan's wrist with one hand and looking at her coldly.

“Are you sure you want to beat me in public”

Her bearing was even more imposing than Wenlan's.

Wen Lan angrily withdrew her hand, the expression on her face no longer the elegance of yore, almost ferocious.

"Shu Tinglan, you're just like your mother, so self-righteous that you got tricked by your father. Let me tell you, your mother wouldn't let you get bullied, and neither will I. I absolutely won't allow anyone to hurt Xiao Jian. We'll see."

Wen Lan is by no means as elegant and refined as she appears. Her methods are just as ruthless as Wen Jian's.

"You go ahead!" Shu Tinglan was no longer afraid of her. Before, she had been deceived by them because both she and her mother held the most benevolent view of human nature. Now, regarding human nature, especially that of Wen Jian and her mother, she knew she had to imagine with the utmost malice to avoid being harmed. her possibly getting hurt makes me want to punch someone right now."Shu Tinglan understood his elderly father's feelings, so he just smiled without saying a word."She can't at least find someone wors...
