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

The atmosphere in the solemn courtroom was so heavy that it seemed frozen. After the judge announced a ten-minute recess, everyone's eyes were focused on that slender figure - Su Li.

She walked gracefully to the witness stand, and her clear voice echoed in the silent courtroom: "Your Honor, I request the floor."

"I have a document here that I hope the court will consider." Su Li handed a document to the clerk, then turned to face the crowd with a firm gaze, "This document records the evidence that Uncle Gu Wu has used company resources for private investment over the years and embezzled company assets through false accounts."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the courtroom. Uncle Gu's face turned pale, and he suddenly stood up from his seat, pointing at Su Li and shouting: "You are talking nonsense! This is all slander!"

Su Li met his gaze fearlessly, with a sneer on her lips: "Whether it is slander or not, the evidence will tell everything."

The documents in the file bag were displayed to everyone one by one: bank statements, company accounts, project contracts... Every piece of evidence clearly pointed to the same fact - Uncle Gu Wu was not as honest and selfless as he seemed, but a greedy hypocrite.

"Over the years, Fifth Uncle Gu has been claiming to be concerned about the family, but secretly he has been pursuing personal gain. He used company funds to invest in real estate, stocks, and even got involved in some gray industries..." Su Li's voice was calm and clear, and every word was like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's heart.

"As the legal heir of the Gu Group, Gu Jinyan has done everything to protect his father's hard work and to make the Gu Group stronger." Su Li turned her gaze to Gu Jinyan, her eyes full of trust and admiration. "He has put all his energy into the operation of the company and has never thought of seeking any personal gain for himself."

Gu Jinyan stood up and faced the judge and the jury. His steady voice was filled with emotion: "My father worked hard all his life and founded the Gu Group from scratch. He hoped to pass on his business and hoped that the family could unite and protect this foundation together."

"I have never thought of monopolizing this inheritance. I just hope that it can be distributed fairly and reasonably, used for the development of the company, and benefit more employees and society." Gu Jinyan's tone was firm and resounding.

"You...you guys..." Uncle Gu pointed at Su Li and Gu Jinyan, shaking with anger, but unable to refute.

"These evidences are conclusive and sufficient to prove that your client, Mr. Gu Wushu, has committed serious economic crimes." The judge looked at Mr. Gu Wushu's lawyer with a serious expression, "Do you have any other excuses?"

Uncle Gu Wu's lawyer looked grim and opened his mouth, only to find that... Uncle Gu Wu's lawyers looked at each other in bewilderment, with beads of sweat on their foreheads. They tried to find a breakthrough, trying to confuse the public with arguments such as "document forgery" and "quoting out of context", but in the face of hard evidence, their defense seemed pale and powerless. The judge's sharp eyes swept over them, with a hint of self-evident doubt.

In the audience, the distant relatives who originally supported Uncle Gu Wu began to whisper to each other, with shock and uneasiness written all over their faces. They originally thought that Uncle Gu Wu was the embodiment of justice and a representative who fought for their interests, but now it seems that he is just a despicable villain who will do anything for his own selfish desires.

"I...we..." A distant cousin stood up hesitantly, his face flushed and his eyes flickering, "We were all deceived before. We support...support Gu Jinyan and Su Li's proposal."

His words were like a fuse that instantly ignited the entire audience.

“Yes, we support it too!”

"Uncle Gu Wu has disappointed us so much!"

"We believe in Gu Jinyan!"

……

The voices came one after another, like a tide, drowning Uncle Gu Wu in a sea of ​​condemnation and scorn. His face was pale, and his body was shaky, as if he would fall down at any time.

Su Li looked at everything in front of her, without any pride in her heart, but a deep sadness surged up. Once upon a time, the Gu family was also a united and friendly family, but all of this was swallowed up by greed and desire.

"Silence! Silence!" The judge banged the gavel hard, and order gradually returned to the courtroom. He looked at Uncle Gu Wu, his eyes as sharp as a knife, "Defendant, do you have anything else to say?"

Uncle Gu Wu slumped in his chair, his lips trembling but unable to make any sound. Seeing this, his lawyer could only bite the bullet and say, "Your Honor, we...we request..."

Before he finished speaking, the door of the court was suddenly pushed open, and a courier in uniform walked in quickly. He walked straight to Su Li and handed her a document bag, "Ms. Su Li, this is your express delivery, please sign for it."

Su Li took the file bag, feeling a little uneasy. She opened the file bag, took out the file, and her eyes fell on the top of the file, her face turned pale instantly.

"This... this is..." She raised her head suddenly, staring at Gu Jinyan, her voice trembling, "This is..." Su Li's voice stopped abruptly, her eyes were full of disbelief and a hint of fear. Gu Jinyan's heart tightened, he had never seen Su Li look so flustered. He reached out to take the document, but Su Li dodged.

"This... this is the one from back then..." Su Li took a deep breath and tried to calm her disordered breathing, but still couldn't suppress the trembling in her voice, "That... property inheritance waiver agreement from back then?!"

There was an uproar in the courtroom. Everyone, including the judge and Uncle Gu Wu, were shocked by this sudden agreement. Gu Jinyan's face darkened. He was very familiar with this agreement. He had forced Su Li to sign it in order to sever their relationship. However, shouldn't this agreement have been...

Uncle Gu Wu seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. He stood up from his chair and shouted sharply, "Your Honor! This agreement proves that Gu Jinyan had given up his right to inherit the family estate many years ago! Everything he owns now is illegal!"

His words once again stirred up a great disturbance. The distant relatives who had already changed sides began to waver again, whispering to each other and exchanging greedy glances.

The judge signaled the bailiff to maintain order, and then said to Su Li seriously: "Ms. Su, please explain the contents of this agreement."

Su Li took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She knew that if this agreement was accepted by the court, not only would Gu Jinyan lose everything, but she would also be charged with deception.

She raised her head, looked at the judge with a firm gaze, and said word by word: "This agreement does exist, but it is not legally binding."

"What?!" Uncle Gu Wu jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. "You are talking nonsense! It is clearly written in black and white on this agreement..."

"But this is just a unilateral agreement. I never signed my name." Su Li interrupted him, turned to the last page of the agreement, pointed to the blank signature area and said, "According to the law, an agreement without the signatures of both parties has no legal effect."

Uncle Gu Wu was speechless. He never thought that the plan he thought was perfect would fail because of such a simple negligence.

In the end, after trial, the court ruled that Mr. Gu's will was legal and valid, and the distribution of the estate should follow the principle of fairness. The unreasonable demands of Uncle Gu Wu and his alliance were rejected, and he himself was taken away by the police for investigation on suspicion of forgery of documents and fraud.

Walking out of the court, the bright sunshine sprinkled on Su Li and Gu Jinyan, dispelling the haze of many days.

"We won." Su Li said softly, with a tired smile on her lips.

"Yes, we won." Gu Jinyan held her hand, his eyes full of gratitude and love, "Thank you, Lili."

Faced with the influx of media reporters, Su Li and Gu Jinyan simply expressed their gratitude for the fair verdict and promised to continue working for the prosperity of the family business.

"Mr. Gu, what do you think of Uncle Gu Wu's behavior?"

"Mrs. Gu, what are your plans next?"

"Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, please answer..."

Facing the reporters' barrage of questions, Su Li and Gu Jinyan kept smiling. But the moment they turned around, Su Li's hand tightly grasped the agreement that almost ruined everything. Her nails dug deep into her palm, leaving shocking marks... The dazzling flash lights and the reporters' questions were finally blocked outside the court. Su Li and Gu Jinyan held hands and walked down the steps. The warm sunshine fell on them, as if dispelling the haze that had shrouded the Gu family for many days.

"It's finally over." Su Li breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at the man beside her, and a relieved smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

Gu Jinyan's deep gaze fell on her face, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on her hand: "Yes, it's over." He paused, and said in a low voice with a hint of apology, "Thank you for your hard work during this period, Lili."

Su Li shook her head, with a firm light in her eyes: "We are husband and wife, we should face it together."

Gu Jinyan's heart was gently touched by her words. He leaned over slightly and gave her a soft kiss on the forehead: "Thank you, Lili."

The inheritance dispute ended with Uncle Gu Wu's defeat. In the days that followed, Gu's Group, under the leadership of Gu Jinyan, gradually regained its former vitality. The morale of the employees was high, and various businesses were steadily advancing. The haze of the past was swept away.

Su Li gradually integrated into the Gu family, and her relationship with Gu Jinyan became increasingly deep. They handled company affairs together, attended various banquets together, and their every move revealed an enviable tacit understanding and sweetness.

Everything seemed to be moving in the best direction, however, the gears of fate never stopped turning...

That day, Su Li was processing documents in her office when Gu Jinyan's assistant suddenly knocked on the door and came in with a serious look on his face: "Madam, the lawyer is here and wants to talk to you and your husband about the follow-up matters regarding the distribution of the estate."

Su Li was slightly startled, and put down the documents in her hand. An inexplicable uneasiness surged in her heart. She asked calmly: "What exactly is it?"

The assistant hesitated, and said with some embarrassment: "The lawyer said that the specific situation needs to be explained to you and your husband in person, but he mentioned..." He paused and lowered his voice, "mentioned a new will."
