Xu Wan met a man from her industry at a matchmaking party. Two days later, they got their marriage certificate.
She thought she had married an unremarkable corporate legal counsel.
Afte...
Xu Wan didn't react immediately. The main point was that she never expected anyone to dare damage a lawyer's personal property in a top-tier law firm.
Seeing that Xu Wan didn't speak, Qi's father stomped on the phone again and asked, "Attorney Xu, can I talk to you now?"
Xu Wan took a deep breath and said to Mr. Qi, "Mr. Qi, this phone is of great significance to me. Since you damaged it, you should be prepared to compensate me, right?"
"Sure, I'll pay you back! How much? I'll transfer it to your card right now."
Mr. Qi didn't care at all.
How much does he think a mobile phone is worth?
Ten thousand yuan is nothing.
Xu Wan stood still and calmly said, "Ten million."
"Ten million!?" Mr. Qi instantly flew into a rage. "Are you crazy? You dare ask me for ten million for a piece of junk?! Are you desperate for money? I bet your junk phone is a model from several years ago. I'm already being generous by giving you a new one. Don't push your luck! I have something to say to you."
Xu Wan finally understood why the little boy named Qi Zihao had that kind of personality.
If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too.
With two unreasonable parents like these, what kind of son can he be raised?
The people outside could hear Qi's father's furious voice.
Yuan Shuxin opened the door and came in. "What's wrong?"
He looked down and saw the broken phone on the ground, and his expression changed slightly.
Xu Wan was too lazy to say anything more to Qi's father, and said to Yuan Shuxin, "Attorney Yuan, my phone was broken by this gentleman. Could you please call the police for me? I need the police to handle this matter."
Mr. Qi was still furious, but he calmed down a little when he saw Yuan Shuxin. "Is your lawyer crazy? I came in to talk to her, hoping to have a proper discussion, but she said she was on the phone and told me to leave! Now she wants ten million for a broken phone, what is this, extortion?"
“Mr. Qi, this phone is very old, but it was a gift from my husband five years ago. It’s priceless. Now that you’ve smashed it, asking for ten million is already too little.”
Xu Wan tried her best to calm herself down.
The police will be here soon; there's no need for her to lose her temper with someone as brainless as Mr. Qi.
Mr. Qi thought he understood and sneered, "What are you doing? Your husband is useless, only giving you a cell phone every five years, so you can only try to extort me, right? Fine? Take your pants off and sleep with me for one night, and I'll think about it."
"Mr. Qi, although there are no surveillance cameras in Attorney Yuan's office, there are in mine. I will consider whether to pass on what you said to your wife later."
"Pah! Stop pretending, I was just kidding. Someone like you has probably slept with countless people." Even after smashing his phone at the law firm, Mr. Qi felt guilty. "How about this, I'll pay you 100,000 yuan, how about that? I'm being generous, aren't I?"
Xu Wan was too lazy to say anything more to Qi's father, so she asked Yuan Shuxin directly, "Attorney Yuan, did you call the police for me? If you didn't, then I'll ask Sister Su Qiong for help."
Yuan Shuxin glanced at Qi's father and sighed, "I'll call the police!"
"Do we really need to call the police? Didn't I already say I'd pay for it?" Mr. Qi said, somewhat annoyed. "I can afford to pay for a broken phone. We all believe in making money peacefully, so why did we have to escalate it to this point?"
Yuan Shuxin was on the phone when Xu Wan looked at Qi's father and said, "Mr. Qi, the reason this phone is so important to me is not because I can't afford a good one, but because my husband disappeared four and a half years ago. He may never be able to give me a new phone again. This phone contains our precious memories. If you smash it like this, even if you compensate me with 100 million, let alone 10 million, I still think it's not enough."
Yuan Shuxin called the police outside the office, and then returned to Xu Wan's office.
Hearing Xu Wan's words, he said to Mr. Qi, "Mr. Qi, this phone was indeed given to Xu Wan by her husband before he disappeared. She used it for many years. You just broke it like this, and I really can't help you."
"What are you doing? Trying to act all sentimental over a crappy phone?" Mr. Qi's temper flared up. "Fine, let the police handle it. Neither of us will back down. Let's see what the police do!"
Xu Wan doesn't have a new phone, but that's not important now.
Just as she said, the old cell phone was a gift from Jiang Tingzhou, and it contained many memories of the two of them.
She certainly wouldn't have been so calm if the man hadn't returned as Ryan.
