After the substitution marriage, I became the CEO's white moonlight

The arrival of the lawyer brought crucial evidence to Su Li and Gu Jinyan. After several days of all-night investigation, the lawyer team finally found solid evidence of Uncle Gu's financial irregularities. A record of huge capital flows hidden in overseas accounts clearly showed that he had begun to transfer the company's assets before Mr. Gu's death.

"Very good. Thank you for your hard work." Gu Jinyan took the documents, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, "I will make these evidences known to the world."

The next morning, Su Li and Gu Jinyan brought their lawyers and evidence to the court, formally filed a complaint against Uncle Gu Wu, and requested a re-examination of the validity of the will. As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a storm in the Gu family.

All along, Uncle Gu Wu has presented himself as a grief-stricken filial son, winning a lot of sympathy and support. However, when the evidence of his financial irregularities was made public, everyone was shocked by his hypocrisy.

"This is impossible! Someone must have framed me!" Facing the camera of the reporter, Uncle Gu still defended himself at the top of his voice, but his eyes were full of panic and evasion.

Uncle Gu Wu's counterattack was also unusually swift. He hired an experienced team of lawyers to try to overturn the validity of the evidence from a legal perspective. For a time, the two sides launched a fierce confrontation in court, going back and forth, neither side giving in.

"Mr. Gu, the other lawyers are very difficult to deal with. They are trying to shift the blame for the financial irregularities onto a scapegoat who has already passed away." The lawyer reported the latest situation to Gu Jinyan with a serious expression.

"It doesn't matter. I believe that good prevails over evil." Gu Jin said in a steady tone, with a determined light flashing in his eyes. "Continue to collect evidence. I want to see how long he can hide!"

However, Uncle Gu Wu obviously did not intend to sit still and wait for death. Just as Su Li and Gu Jinyan were fully engaged in legal proceedings, a storm of public opinion against them was quietly brewing.

"Have you heard? The new wife of the Gu family seemed to be out..."

"And Mr. Gu, I heard that he..."

Some negative news about Su Li and Gu Jinyan began to circulate within the family and quickly spread to the outside world. People in the company also began to panic...

A sudden storm was heading towards Su Li and Gu Jinyan.

The originally peaceful morning was broken by several abrupt news headlines. "The identity of the wife of the president of Gu Group remains a mystery, suspected to have been...", "The feud between wealthy families: the dispute over the heir of Gu family, the shocking truth hidden behind it". These headlines are sensational, and the content is even more groundless, distorting Su Li's past experience into a story full of scheming and calculation.

"Who is it? Spreading these rumors behind my back!" Su Li stood up suddenly. The coffee cup in her hand shook violently because of her movement, and the dark brown liquid almost spilled out. Without thinking too much, she knew who was behind this. Uncle Gu Wu, he had already done everything he could to fight for the inheritance.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Gu Jinyan held Su Li's shoulders and motioned her to calm down. "These rumors are untenable. Those who are innocent will be innocent."

"But... now people in the company are in panic, and the stock price has begun to fluctuate..." Su Li looked at Gu Jinyan worriedly. These groundless accusations have begun to affect the normal operations of the company.

Gu Jinyan took a deep breath. He knew that now was not the time to panic. He had to take measures as soon as possible to stabilize the situation. "I will take care of the company's affairs. Don't worry." He held Su Li's hand in his palm, giving her strength. "As for those rumors, I will find evidence and make them pay the price."

Su Li nodded. She believed Gu Jinyan. However, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death. She turned on her phone and logged into her social account. After a moment of silence, she began to edit the text:

"Recently, some false rumors about me have appeared on the Internet, causing great trouble to me and my family. What I want to say is that those who are innocent will be innocent, and I have a clear conscience. Jin Yan and I are truly in love, and we are also working hard to maintain the unity and honor of our family..."

Su Li's response was brief and to the point, but every word was powerful and sincere. She did not evade or back down, but chose to respond positively, responding to doubts with a frank attitude and refuting rumors with facts.

“Knock, knock, knock…” There was a knock on the door, and Gu Jinyan’s assistant walked in quickly, “Boss Gu, the company…” Before he could finish his words, Gu Jinyan raised his hand to interrupt him, “I know, I’ll go to the company now.”

He stood up, looked at Su Li deeply, and said firmly: "Wait for me to come back."

Gu Jinyan arrived at the company. The usually solemn office building was now filled with an uneasy atmosphere. He walked into the conference room with a solemn look on his face. In the conference room, all the company executives were already there, and everyone's face was full of worry.

"I called everyone here today to respond to the recent false rumors about me and my wife." Gu Jinyan's voice was steady and powerful, and he got straight to the point. "These rumors are completely groundless. Their purpose is to disrupt the normal operations of the company and damage the interests of the company."

He glanced at everyone present and said, "I reiterate that my wife Su Li is the daughter-in-law recognized by the Gu family. I know everything about her past and I believe in her character."

"I believe in Mr. Gu's judgment." The marketing director took the lead in expressing his opinion, and other executives also nodded in support. Gu Jinyan then arranged the next response measures: the public relations department was responsible for collecting evidence and prosecuting the rumor mongers; the legal department was prepared to deal with possible lawsuits; the heads of various departments stabilized the emotions of employees and ensured the normal operation of the business.

At the same time, Su Li was also actively responding to this sudden storm. She contacted several familiar media outlets to clarify the truth and told the love story between herself and Gu Jinyan. Her sincere attitude touched many people.

Uncle Gu Wu was also busy, trying to win over some neutral family members and strengthen his influence. He found Uncle Gu and tried to persuade him to stand on his side by saying that "Gu Group needs a more experienced leader".

"Uncle Wu, you and Jin Yan are both descendants of the Gu family. I hope you can put the interests of the family first and solve the problem peacefully." Uncle Er watched Gu Jin Yan grow up. He believed in Gu Jin Yan's ability and did not want to see infighting in the family. He declined Uncle Wu's proposal and said he would remain neutral and wait and see.

Uncle Gu Wu suffered a setback, but he was not discouraged. He believed that there would always be people who would be driven by interests and would eventually choose to stand on his side.

The battle to defend the heritage had just begun, and both sides were accumulating strength to prepare for greater challenges. At this moment, Gu Jinyan's cell phone rang, and the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.

"Mr. Gu, I am the lawyer for the inheritance case. The court has decided to hold a hearing to review the new evidence..."

"Hearing?" Gu Jinyan frowned slightly, a hint of coldness flashed in his deep eyes, "When?"

"Next Friday at 9 a.m., at the downtown court." The lawyer's voice was serious and calm. "Mr. Gu, the other party has submitted new evidence, claiming that the will in your favor is a forgery, and accusing you of unjust enrichment during the old man's lifetime."

"Ridiculous!" Gu Jinyan snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain, "Do they think they can confuse right and wrong by just fabricating some evidence?"

"The other party is coming with great force, and we cannot underestimate them," the lawyer reminded. "We need to prepare a response strategy as soon as possible and collect evidence to refute it."

Gu Jinyan hung up the phone, with a fierce look in his eyes. He would never allow anyone to tarnish his grandfather's reputation, and he would never let people with ulterior motives take away things that belonged to the Gu family.

"Ayan, what's wrong?" Su Li noticed his mood change and asked softly.

Gu Jinyan held her hand and said firmly, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

He briefly repeated what the lawyer said. After Su Li finished listening, her brows slightly furrowed, and a sense of uneasiness surged in her heart.

"They actually took out a forged will and said that you..." Su Li bit her lip, her heart filled with anger and worry.

"Don't worry, what's fake won't be real." Gu Jinyan patted the back of her hand soothingly, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly and will not let them succeed."

In the next few days, Gu Jinyan and Su Li worked together to actively deal with this sudden battle for inheritance. They visited many elders and friends who were close to Mr. Gu, collected testimonies, and tried to prove the authenticity of the will. At the same time, Gu Jinyan also used his own network to investigate the forces behind Uncle Gu Wu, trying to find a breakthrough.

Su Li, on the other hand, focused her energy on public opinion. She contacted several reputable media outlets, accepted exclusive interviews, made the whole story public, and expressed her determination to protect the reputation of the Gu family. Her sincere attitude and clear logic won the support of many netizens.

At the same time, Uncle Gu Wu was also actively taking action. He won over some family members who were dissatisfied with Gu Jinyan, and used the media to spread remarks that were unfavorable to Gu Jinyan, trying to gain the upper hand in public opinion.

For a time, this battle for inheritance became the focus of public attention, and all kinds of speculations and rumors were rampant.

Finally, the day of the hearing arrived.

In the court, the lawyers of both sides exchanged sharp words, and the atmosphere was very tense. Uncle Gu Wu's side produced the so-called "new evidence" to try to prove that Gu Jinyan had made an unjust enrichment and questioned the authenticity of the will.

Gu Jinyan's side refuted each point one by one and provided a large amount of witnesses and evidence to prove that Mr. Gu's will was authentic and valid, and that Gu Jinyan had always performed his duties diligently during the operation of the company and had not committed any illegal or irregular behavior.

The two sides were arguing and the judge announced a ten-minute recess.

At this moment, Su Li stood up, took a deep breath, and looked at the judge with a firm gaze: "Your Honor, I request to speak."
