Chapter 14:
With the involvement of investigators, Li's father and mother finally realized the fact that Li Yuan was trying to deceive them.
They didn't react as I imagined, neither devastated nor furious.
They were unnaturally calm, except for their unwillingness to see Li Yuan.
It was only now that I understood the true meaning of this passage: "The real chill in the heart is not a big fight, and the real disappointment is not tears streaming down the face, but rather no longer taking the initiative, no longer opening up.
My words are plain and indifferent, your matters are no longer my concern." Li's father previously defended Li Yuan because plagiarizing Li's mother's work didn't cause him any actual harm, but having the code stolen would directly harm his company's interests.
It's only when the fire reaches oneself that they realize its heat.
"The Sword of Damocles" is urgently removed from the shelves, Jin Ci is arrested, and in addition to that, Yunyou will also face a huge loss and compensation.
Since Li Yuan is the only one in the studio who doesn't possess the relevant technical skills and cannot understand the source code, she was not arrested.
Li Yuan came to me, hoping that I could plead with her father and persuade the company to issue a letter of understanding.
She has lost all her past brilliance.
In the moment I saw her, tears welled up in her eyes: "Xiao Yu, it was me who made Jin Ci steal the code, it was me! Blame me, it has nothing to do with Ci." "It's okay if I go to jail, but Jin Ci can't.
He's such a proud person, going to jail would be the end of him." I couldn't help but laugh: "Sorry, I didn't mean to take pleasure in your misfortune." I know for sure that she is not exaggerating, she is someone who can do this for Jin Ci.
If she takes all the blame and goes to the sewing machine, Jin Ci will be free.
What else is there to see? Taking advantage of the fact that Li Yuan hasn't had time to react, I asked her: "Does he really deserve you to do this? Are your parents, your friends...
your life, are they not important compared to him?" When it comes to friends, I paused and suddenly realized that Li Yuan no longer has any friends.
Ever since she met Jin Ci, she has voluntarily distanced herself from all her friends.
It's just because Jin Ci doesn't like the behavior of rich girls.
After the incident with Yun You, her plagiarism of Li's mother's work was also exposed, which directly made her a laughingstock among classmates and celebrities in the industry.
Li Yuan wiped away her tears and said resolutely, "I can sacrifice even my life for him, what is this?" Well, I am just an ordinary person, I don't understand their unwavering love.
But I enjoy seeing some karma, so I agreed to her request: "Don't worry, I will talk to my parents, and also, I hope you won't hesitate in finding a lawyer." Finally, the court ordered Yunyou Studio to cease its infringing activities, issue an apology, and compensate for economic losses and reasonable expenses totaling 8 million yuan..
Adding the start-up capital borrowed from Li's father, Jin Ci and Li Yuan had to sell the house and luxury car purchased by the Li family for them.
Everything that was swallowed had to be vomited out.
At the same time, the relationship between the Li family and Li Yuan was completely severed.
Li's father and mother's last meeting with her was at the civil affairs department to handle the procedures for dissolving the relationship.
Jin Ci accompanied Li Yuan to go together.
He had a sour face as if the whole world owed him eight million yuan, and his eyebrows furrowed into a character "chuan".
Li Yuan leaned in his arms, crying with pear blossoms and rain.
He looked at Li's father and mother fiercely, with a cold attitude, saying, "Losing such an outstanding daughter is your loss!" I pouted, "Just spoil her then."
