Chapter 618: 552 I don’t need you to prove it!_2
"Oh! Doctor Song has been very good to Dr. Lu," Doctor Song is one of the top surgical doctors in our hospital, and after Dr. Lu joined our hospital, she was taken under Doctor Song’s wing."
"Doctor Song’s hand had been injured recently, and Dr. Lu had always been very concerned about him. They often had lunch and breakfast together, and when they were alone, there were conversations and laughter, a very intimate concern."
"Very intimate?"
The defense lawyer deliberately picked out the ambiguous term from the witness’s statement and emphasized it with a repeated question.
"Yes...everyone has been saying that Doctor Song and Dr. Lu might end up together."
Lu Xiaoer remained expressionless. She was not angry about what Dr. Qi had said, just... frustrated.
Song Jing was not a magnanimous person, nor was she as kind as Lu Xiaoer had initially thought.
Perhaps it started when Zhongli Wuzhi injured his hand, or maybe, as Zhongli Wuzhi had said, he had always had ulterior motives.
In the hospital, Song Jing pretended to be an innocent, kind, and magnanimous person, perhaps to ensure that colleagues would be willing to speak up for him at times like this.
"Okay, Dr. Qi, I have finished my questions; thank you for your testimony."
After Dr. Qi responded, she stepped down from the witness stand and sat on the side in the auditorium.
She twiddled her fingers together, glancing at Lu Xiaoer on the plaintiff’s side, and she felt uncomfortable.
Both were doctors at their hospital, and now things had become so embarrassing...
"Your Honor, based on the testimony of witness number one, it’s sufficient to prove that there is a romance between Song Jing and Lu Xiaoer, which is different from ordinary friendship."
"If merely relying on others’ assumptions of ’intimacy,’ ’unusual,’ or even ’everyone says they will end up together’ can be used as testimony to judge a romantic relationship, opposing counsel, I’d have to question your professional capabilities," Lawyer Fu retorted calmly.
Song Jing’s defense attorney continued unhurriedly,
"Alright, next we’ll call upon witness number two, the room department manager of Kasi Hotel."
"..."
The witness who stepped up was indeed Kasi Hotel’s room department manager, and upon seeing the manager, Lu Xiaoer’s expression subtly changed.
The hotel manager stood straight, and Song Jing’s defense attorney approached him,
"Manager Liang, do you remember the time Miss Lu Xiaoer made a room reservation at Kasi Hotel on that day?"
"It was at half past noon that day. The exact time is recorded during the room registration."
The lawyer acknowledged and continued to inquire,
"Manager Liang, did Miss Lu have any special requests when making the reservation?"
"Miss Lu specifically chose the most meaningful 520 lovers’ suite and requested distinctive decorations for the room—from the petal-covered carpet in the porch, to fresh tulips, tablecloth on the dinner table, candles and fragrances, even the big gift box on the bedroom bed. Every detail was specifically instructed by Miss Lu."
"Miss Lu Xiaoer, the plaintiff, is what the hotel manager described accurate? Did you ask for these arrangements?"
"Does it have anything to do with any criminal activity involving Song Jing?"
"Just answer me, did you or did you not!"
"Your Honor, I object. The question asked by the opposing lawyer—"
"Objection overruled, please answer, plaintiff."
Before Lawyer Fu could finish speaking, the judge had already firmly spoken, turning to Lu Xiaoer.
Lu Xiaoer took a deep breath,
"Yes, I did, but so what? Whether I want to meticulously decorate the room or choose a lovers’ suite, that’s my prerogative, isn’t it? Just because I chose a lovers’ suite, does it necessarily mean I had someone to meet, or—"
"Please calm down, Miss Lu Xiaoer."
The lawyer raised his hand slowly, then turned once again to the witness stand, asking the hotel manager,
"Manager Liang, did Miss Lu Xiaoer mention to you why she reserved this room on that day, or what her condition was when she stayed in the room that evening?"
"In the evening, around six o’clock, Miss Lu Xiaoer came to the hotel, and I led her to her room. During the process, I had asked Miss Lu Xiaoer, since she reserved the lovers’ suite and had meticulously decorated so much, was it to confess her feelings to someone."
"..."
"Miss Lu Xiaoer admitted that indeed, it was to confess her feelings to someone she had feelings for that night."
Lawyer Fu glanced at Lu Xiaoer, trying to discern the truth from her expression based on what the hotel manager had said.
