It was you who insisted on joining the variety show. So why are you the one regretting your public image collapse? In his past life, the male lead's wife Su Lin twisted the truth on the program...
[Ding! More friends, more paths. Divorced men especially need to be good at cultivating their social relationships. Host, please organize and participate in a social gathering to enrich your social life after marriage.]
As soon as Lin Chu got into the car, she heard a system notification in her mind.
I glanced in the rearview mirror at Ge Lan and Mai Mai, who were late and headed straight for the back of my car, and Huang Yiyi and her child, who got into the nanny van on the other side.
He couldn't help but chuckle.
"Hey, when I'm having a really relaxed social gathering with friends, you don't message me."
"Now that there are two more annoying guys, you've actually created a problem for me."
As he spoke, he could already see Su Lin and the assistant lawyer, who had been dawdling at the back, walking to the car.
My heart was filled with helplessness.
Su Lin subconsciously walked to the passenger door and reached out to pull the door open.
Clang!
Hearing the sound of an unlocked door, she immediately frowned and her face turned ugly.
He frowned and looked up at Lin Chu through the car window.
"Open the door!"
Lin Chu remained expressionless and pointed directly to the back door.
"You sit in the back and keep Mai Mai company."
"Let lawyer Zhu Yuanyuan sit in the front, so the paparazzi can take more juicy photos and say I'm an old cow eating young grass and having an affair with a young model."
Upon hearing this, Ge Lan in the back row couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
Su Lin felt a little guilty and flustered. She then snorted coldly, shook her hand, walked to the back door, and decisively opened it and got in.
After getting on the bus, he just kept a long face and didn't interact with Mai Mai at all.
On the contrary, Mai Mai sat there cautiously, having already learned to read her mother's expression at such a young age...
Bang!
Zhu Yuanyuan blushed as she opened the passenger door, somewhat awkwardly smoothing the back of her long trench coat before getting in.
Faced with Lin Chu's blunt sarcasm, she didn't know how to respond.
In one sentence, she not only exposed their foolish attempt to stir up public opinion online but also compared her to a young model selling her body.
Its offensive power is undeniable.
Beep beep beep!
Just then, Huang Yiyi's driver started the car first, honked the horn twice to signal, and drove smoothly toward the underground parking garage exit.
Lin Chu didn't waste any time and immediately drove off to follow.
Having learned from the previous experience of being secretly filmed in the hotel, this time when leaving the underground parking garage, all four car windows were tightly closed and covered with privacy film, so that nothing could be seen from the outside.
Once the car was on the overpass, its speed increased.
The atmosphere inside the car was awkwardly silent; everyone was looking out the window, and no one spoke to the other.
Only when Ge Lan occasionally noticed Mai Mai, their whispered conversations slightly breaking the silence.
Ding-dong!
Lin Chu was driving when she saw the reply on her phone and immediately scoffed.
They suddenly started a conversation.
"Attorney Zhu just graduated, is she still in her internship?"
"I've heard that it's very difficult to get a permanent position in your line of work. If you can't pass the local bar association's assessment, you can only stay intern indefinitely."
"I wonder who your supervising lawyer is?"
In fact, before meeting Su Lin, the so-called legal assistant, he already knew all the details about her through his legal team.
Song Yuhong, a female boxing lawyer specializing in divorce cases.
It's notorious within the industry as well.
Of course, making money is nothing to be ashamed of. With money comes fame, so it's normal for people to be drawn to her and follow her to learn from her.
But precisely because of this, these are also the easiest people to deal with.
He's been looking for opportunities to contact the other side's lawyer directly, hoping to find some loopholes.
Now, the other party has come to us on their own initiative.
Lin Chu certainly wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by.
Inviting Zhu Yuanyuan to dinner was just a trap, and it's clear that she lacked experience and was not wary enough, and has already fallen into the trap.
Zhu Yuanyuan was quite surprised when Lin Chu took the initiative to talk to her.
Immediately maintain a polite smile and nod slightly.
"It is somewhat difficult. The internship lasts for a year, and then you have to take the local bar association's assessment. If you fail the assessment, you will have to take it again."
"But I'm still confident I'll pass the test!"
"As for my supervising lawyer..."
When this topic came up, even if she wasn't quick to react or had enough experience, she could vaguely sense that something was amiss.
Just as she was hesitating whether to speak, Lin Chu chuckled casually and spoke.
"Even if you don't say it, I already know."
"After all, you've already submitted the application to file a case. There's no reason why I should be completely oblivious and know nothing at all, right?"
"Song Yuhong, Attorney Song, right?"
"As far as I know, she doesn't seem to hold any position in the local bar association."
"However, I believe that with Attorney Song's rich experience in cases, he is more than qualified to be your mentor lawyer. Perhaps you will even surpass him in the future and become another more famous Attorney Zhu."
Hearing Lin Chu's glib and polite words, Su Lin frowned in confusion.
Before Zhu Yuanyuan could respond with any flattery, she took the initiative to change the subject.
"Lin Chu, when did you learn to flatter people?"
"Attorney Zhu is only in his internship period, and he's still a long way from getting his lawyer's license. How can you say he's surpassed his teacher?"
"Let me tell you, don't even think about messing with my lawyer!"
As she said this, Su Lin subconsciously glanced at Ge Lan, who was chatting happily with Mai Mai, and added another sentence out of dissatisfaction.
"You men, not a single one of you is any good!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chu rolled her eyes.
Ever since he saw through Su Lin's true colors, he felt a bit of physical disgust towards her, and the more he heard her say such stupid things, the more he hated her.
I can't even empathize with my past self anymore.
What had blinded me to marry such a woman for over a decade?
Zhu Yuanyuan was secretly pleased to hear Lin Chu's compliment.
Upon hearing Su Lin's disparaging remarks, she frowned slightly, and a surge of arrogance involuntarily rose within her.
"I have been interning for eight months and have been in charge of six cases under the guidance of Attorney Song. I will soon meet the assessment standards."
“Attorney Song said that the local bar association’s assessment is very simple, and with her guidance, it’s only a matter of time before I get my certificate.”
"As my supervising lawyer, I have great respect for Attorney Song."
"I dare not say that I can surpass Attorney Song's achievements in the future, but I will try my best to catch up!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chu immediately ignored Su Lin, who was interrupting her, and nodded with a light laugh.
He seemed to agree with it.
"I also believe that Attorney Zhu will definitely be very outstanding in the future."
"Oh, by the way, I just wanted to tell you something."
"My lawyer will also be there for dinner later, and we'll have a casual meal together."
"Don't be nervous, it's just a meal, it doesn't involve work."
"He was just a vice president of the local bar association, and his apprentices were also directors of the bar association. They were all professionals in the industry, discussing legal knowledge together."
