Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius

Chapter 298 - 277: Don’t Know the Legal Process? Let Me Teach You!


Chapter 298: Chapter 277: Don’t Know the Legal Process? Let Me Teach You!

Ji Xizhi’s expression was extremely calm, as if she were talking about something incredibly simple.

[Pfft! No problem, just submit it directly to the court and go through the proper procedures!]

[Don’t let my Zhi Zhi off easy, demand ruthlessly! How’s just five thousand as compensation enough? Add a zero to that!]

[Even the legally ignorant would find this ridiculous! You could clearly just take it, but you still want to give Zhi Zhi a gain, truly moving!]

Ji Xizhi didn’t consider settling privately, nor did she shy away from the camera, but confidently let Sun Chong sue.

Now, Sun Chong was bewildered.

Why is this woman different from other celebrities? She even dares to take such a trivial matter to court?

The words Sun Chong had prepared were stuck in his throat.

Seeing Sun Chong remain silent, Ji Xizhi proactively asked warmly, “Coincidentally, I know quite a few lawyers, need an introduction? Or you can choose to file the lawsuit yourself, I’m okay with either.”

After speaking, Ji Xizhi glanced at the accompanying PD and continued, “Our program team can coordinate as well, including our recent conversation, as well as the nearby recording contract signed by the program team, can also be provided!”

“Of course, if you’re going to file a lawsuit, you’ll also need to submit evidence proving that my program team and I fabricated and spread false information, including witness testimonies, etc.”

Ji Xizhi added this final point and then smiled formally, looking at Sun Chong.

“If you need equipment to collect audio-visual evidence, our program team can lend it to you.”

Sun Chong hadn’t reacted before Ji Xizhi had already laid out the entire lawsuit process in one breath, leaving no room for Sun Chong to backtrack.

Just waiting for Sun Chong to sue.

But Sun Chong had no evidence, and as soon as Ji Xizhi mentioned evidence, he recalled it.

It was Xiao Zhou who commented on the fish from his family earlier; since he entered, Ji Xizhi hadn’t said a word.

Just seeing Ji Xizhi reminded him of the game he lost in the afternoon, which sent his anger boiling over, prompting him to act irrationally.

After hearing Ji Xizhi’s words, Sun Chong became increasingly embarrassed and angry, saying, “What? Now celebrities are actively bullying ordinary folks?”

“Everyone, come and see, they clearly doubted my family’s fish first, and now they are forcing us ordinary folks to sue. Lawsuits cost so much money, how can us ordinary folks afford to sue?!”

Sun Chong spoke repeatedly.

Ji Xizhi continued, “The cost of a lawsuit is determined by the type of case. For non-property civil cases, it usually ranges from 10 to 50 yuan. For infringement of reputation rights or honorary rights, the fee is 50 to 100 yuan per case.”

Sun Chong: “…”

Having never gone to court before, he had no idea the fees were so cheap!

Sun Chong’s face flushed deep red before he continued, “You all have money and can hire good lawyers. What good lawyers can we ordinary folks hire? How can we possibly win against you all!”

Ji Xizhi: “You can be assured of this; lawyers will adhere to the law and professional ethics, and court judgments are based on evidence-proven facts.”

Sun Chong: “………”

Every time Sun Chong spoke, Ji Xizhi seriously offered him a way to resolve it, as if saying “if you don’t know how to sue me, I’ll personally teach you,” meticulously covering every detail.

Even the nearby villagers overhearing Ji Xizhi couldn’t help but voice their agreement.

“Whoa, it’s just a hundred yuan! I thought going to court cost a fortune!”

“The young lady makes sense; surely the judge is fair! Settle it in court!”

“Granny, don’t let Sun Chong fool you, what lawsuit is this! I’ve been watching clearly, the young lady didn’t slander Old Sun Family’s fish! She just asked Xiao Zhou where the fish was bought, and didn’t say anything else!”

“Oh right, Little Sun, also about what you mentioned about that legal awareness event this afternoon, I heard from Granny Zheng and them everything clearly. The young lady was just doing Granny Zheng a favor. You’re the one who went and grabbed that first prize with your Granny Sun earlier, right? After losing you smeared others, that’s unethical. I heard the young lady is a law school grad student too!”

“Wow, a grad student? I heard from Old Ding’s family this morning that a young lady who’s a Qing University grad student came to tutor Lingling and Tingting for free last night; is this that young lady?! Oh my, this pretty young lady is amazing, Sun Chong, don’t slander her. We all saw clearly, you were the one who came in first, blabbering, while she didn’t say a single word!”

Initially, Sun Chong was hoping the crowd of elderly people at the door would help him stir things up.

But they didn’t end up stirring things against Ji Xizhi, rather it backfired on himself.

A group of elderly people vividly recounted that afternoon’s incident of Sun Chong’s defeat by Ji Xizhi right in front of the restaurant, telling it right before Sun Chong.

Sun Chong listened, anger fuming, charged towards the group of elderly, pointing at their noses to curse them.

Before he could speak, he heard Ji Xizhi coldly warn from behind him, “Publicly insulting others is also illegal behavior.”

Sun Chong was momentarily stopped by Ji Xizhi’s reminder.

Once he returned to his senses, he opened his mouth intending to curse Ji Xizhi, but turning his head, he saw Ji Xizhi’s unbelievably pretty face.

Ji Xizhi’s appearance isn’t particularly aggressive, especially when she smiles, she seems easy to handle and soft, but at this moment, as Sun Chong kept looking, he suddenly felt a bit scared.

If it were normal times, he wouldn’t be afraid at all, able to curse as he liked!

But now, after Ji Xizhi went through this whole lawsuit process, he suddenly felt that going to court was a bit closer to him, and instinctively swallowed his dirty words back.

“Fine! Just you wait! You all! Don’t think about getting fish from Old Sun’s family again in the future!”

Sun Chong spitefully threw out a few harsh words, then left the restaurant.

Watching Sun Chong leave, Ji Xizhi didn’t say more. Sun Chong was just an unexpected individual who appeared. However, she did remember she’d only asked the restaurant owner one question earlier, and with Sun Chong’s hasty outburst, she kept an extra eye on Sun family’s fish.
