Soon the victim girl entered the courtroom with Lawyer Peng. The moment she walked in her eyes caught sight of Li Xue who was sitting politely beside a lady. She didn't realize who it was until she walked further ahead and caught a beautiful glimpse of Chen Rui's face.
Her eyes stopped at her and at the same time, Li Xue turned to look at her. Her expression was all nonchalant as if she was looking at just any other passerby who was crossing the same road as her.
When Chen Rui felt Li Xue's gaze averting some way, she looked at her and then followed her gaze. And the sight of another girl came into her vision. "Do you know her, Xiao Xue? Who is she?" She asked and keeping her gaze still at the girl, Li Xue answered.
"She is the victim who sued me."
At her words like that, Shin Tingming who has been sitting beside his wife also looked up while Chen Rui's gaze simply turned sharp, piercing the confidence with which the girl has walked inside.

Biting her lips, she grudgingly looked at Li Xue, then turning slightly to the queen she said with all due respect. "Your Highness, sorry to interrupt you. But I guess you got me wrong. I am not pretending to be the victim; I really am a victim. As for Ms. Li Xue, I won't say that she is the offender but she did influence me in taking that product. I just wanted to be as beautiful as her."
She said and her words like that only made Chen Rui smile in disdain. She didn't bother to look at the girl but instead turned to look at Li Xue to say, "Xiao Xue, you know, before I truly didn't understand what big change the company wanted to bring by making models advertise their products. But it's only now I understood what they truly meant. They were not marketing their products with the beauty of the models, rather they were marketing their product to the ducklings that desire to be the swan."
She said and her words were the most savage reply that Li Xue has heard in the century. It was hard to control the chuckle, but when she saw the serious expression with which the lady had spoken to her words, she didn't dare to ruin it.
Nodding to her, she looked at the girl who clearly held an expression and continued, "Market does work on people's desires. Being in the modeling industry for a while I have come across several such cases. It's just that this is my first case that has turned this extreme."
Chen Rui smiled as reaching out to pat Li Xue's hands, she said, "It's okay, dear. Many unexpected things come. You will get over it soon. Just wait for it."
Li Xue nodded while feeling insulted by the ignorance of the queen, the girl walked away fuming in rage. It was just a few moments before that she had given herself the confidence to win the case. But after hearing the two talk about it all casually, she felt that there was nothing with which she would be able to win this case now.
Why was Li Xue even having the king and queen on her side to support today? Did the royals start having no work to look after in their daily life?
While Lin Xinyi and Su Fai were all dumbfounded behind. Even though Su Fai knew what relationship Li Xue shared with the royals, he still didn't expect their support to come this strong. Especially, seeing Li Xue sitting with the royal family so casually was still new to his eyes.
"CEO Su, don't you feel His Majesty and Her Highness treats Li Xue differently?" Lin Xinyi asked and Su Fai just choked on his breath, shaking his head at her.
While back in the front, Shin You Jun shook his head and tsked. "You two are really savage. Did you see her just now? She has to run off with her tail tucked in between her legs."
"Why? Is the young prince feeling bad for her? Want to go and cheer her?" Li Xue taunted and the boy pursed his lips at her.

Enough, You Jun. It's time. Go and help me submit my introduction certificate at the main desk. When the judge appears, he would get to see it first and we would be able to begin the process without any hassle." He said and Shin You Jun stood up next, ready to take the paper to the judge's desk.
As he walked with the file, Lawyer Peng looked with confusion while noticing his gaze, the victim girl asked, "Did Li Xue announce who would be representing her case here today?"
Lawyer Peng shook his head. "She hadn't registered any name yet. But seems like they have someone now." He said and gestured for her to look at Shin You Jun who was walking ahead with a file in his hand.
"You mean they have got someone to represent their case?" She asked to confirm and the man nodded.
How was that possible?
"Don't worry. I will still be able to win, no matter which lawyer stands in front of me." He said and right at that moment, they saw an aged man entering the courtroom before getting up to the judge's seat.
Everyone stood up in his respect and only after seeing him give them a nod of acceptance, they went to take back their seats.
The judge was an old man in his early seventies and just by his look, he looked very experienced. As Shin Tingming said earlier, the moment he sat on his seat, he took the file that was kept on his desk. Opening it, he read and his expression changed, getting more serious than before.
At once he stood up and looked at the crowd of the audience to ask, "May I know who is Ms. Li Xue here?"
