Before Zhu Yuanyuan could refuse, Lin Chu launched into a succinct introduction of her legal team's capabilities.

After he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanyuan suddenly realized what he meant.

On the surface, this meal seemed like a test of Lin Chu's intentions, but in reality, she was the prey, already surrounded and schemed against by Lin Chu!

No wonder they asked her first if she was an intern lawyer, since it's difficult to get a permanent position.

So you were waiting for her here?!

Only then did she recall what Lawyer Song had said: Lin Chu's legal team was a top-tier team in the country. Now that she saw it, it was indeed true.

It turned out that he was a leader of the local bar association.

Isn't this a blatant threat to her?!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanyuan immediately turned cold and became serious.

"Mr. Lin, are you threatening me?"

"Do you think the leaders of the Bar Association can influence my promotion evaluation?"

"Would I betray the person in question for the sake of performance evaluation?"

"Besides, my client was sitting in the car right in front of her. Do you think I would help you?"

Su Lin originally thought that Lin Chu was simply talking to Zhu Yuanyuan and didn't understand anything about getting promoted or the Bar Association.

But the more she listened, the more uneasy she became.

It looks like Lin Chu is trying to turn her legal assistant against her right in front of her!

Is this correct?!

"Hey, Lin Chu, what do you mean?!"

"Trying to poach talent using such underhanded methods? I advise you not to even think about it!!"

"They signed contracts with me!"

"If they dare to make me lose the case, I won't let it go. Don't think I don't understand anything!"

Upon hearing Su Lin's agitated tone, Lin Chu remained indifferent.

Instead, Zhu Yuanyuan was furious.

He frowned and looked in the rearview mirror at Su Lin, who was practically leaning into the driver's seat.

"Ms. Su, please trust my professional ethics!"

"I will not accept any benefits they offer, nor will I be afraid of their threats!"

"Besides, we only signed an agency contract with you. You have to pay us regardless of whether we win or lose. What do you mean you won't let us off the hook?"

"Your case was already at a disadvantage, and Attorney Song took a great risk to get it..."

Before she could finish speaking, Su Lin glared at her with a furious expression.

"Hey!! What do you mean?!"

"You're charging such high legal fees, and you didn't mention the risks when signing the contract. Now you're telling me there are risks?"

"Whose side are you on?!"

"Song Yuhong taught you to say that?!"

Lin Chu didn't need to say anything; Su Lin and Zhu Yuanyuan started arguing back and forth, neither willing to give in.

Su Lin already felt that the unfair clause requiring the lawyer to take 30% of the property was too expensive and was unhappy about it.

In addition, seeing that her daughter was closer to Ge Lan than to her, she felt extremely resentful and was full of complaints.

Meanwhile, her legal assistant was having a lively conversation with Lin Chu.

This completely ignited her temper.

Zhu Yuanyuan was even more straightforward. She had no intention of considering the so-called threats from the leaders of the Bar Association on Lin Chu's side, nor did she intend to accept any benefits or use any back channels.

Being wrongly accused by Su Lin for no reason, his pride was instantly overwhelmed.

Furthermore, since taking on this case, everything has gone wrong, and obtaining every piece of evidence has been risky, yet there is still no guarantee of winning.

But the person involved acted like an idiot, not spending a single penny, yet he kept nagging every day, insisting that he had to win the case, which put him under immense pressure.

At this moment, he naturally couldn't control his temper and didn't want to go along with Su Lin's bad temper anymore!

The two argued more and more fiercely, while the other three people in the car watched coldly.

Lin Chu, the instigator, just focused on driving and let the two of them argue, while secretly sneering to himself.

In the back row, Ge Lan remained completely indifferent, ignoring the matter entirely.

All she did was protect Mai Mai, not wanting the child to be implicated.

After the initial joy of seeing her mother, Mai Mai now feels increasingly uncomfortable with the discomfort Su Lin brings her.

Especially now, seeing Su Lin arguing with someone, her face flushed and her manner out of control.

Even the most naive children showed deep disappointment in their eyes.

She thought her mother had come back just to see her and be with her, even though her parents were divorced and no longer together, her mother still loved her.

But now, when Mom comes back, the affection and attention she gives me doesn't even last for more than ten minutes.

All they did was argue.

Mai Mai was so tired of the noise that she just leaned against Ge Lan in silence, feeling sad and dependent on this Aunt Xiao Lan whom she had only known for a day.

As the two women continued arguing, the car quickly arrived at their destination hotel.

The two, caught up in their argument, didn't realize the problem until the car stopped. Their heated fight was nothing more than infighting, making them a laughingstock for everyone else!

Thinking of this, Su Lin snorted coldly, opened the car door without saying a word, and got out of the car.

Ge Lan sighed helplessly and carefully led Mai Mai off the bus from the other side.

Bang!

Once the back door was closed, only Lin Chu and Zhu Yuanyuan remained inside.

Zhu Yuanyuan took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, but she was also a little annoyed.

How did I end up arguing with Su Lin for no reason?

That's the person directly involved!

But upon closer reflection, it was truly infuriating that Su Lin spoke so illogically and unreasonably. Anyone who dared to claim to have a good temper would have gone berserk and lost control of their emotions after exchanging a few words with her!

For a moment, she could understand how stifling Lin Chu's marriage had been for over a decade.

Anyone who stays with this kind of woman will end up leaving her!

However, out of professional ethics as a lawyer, she couldn't truly take sides with the other side.

The adult world is more than just right and wrong.

What matters most is profit!

After calming down, Zhu Yuanyuan suddenly realized that Lin Chu, who was in the driver's seat, hadn't gotten out of the car either. Her heart skipped a beat, and she turned around to get out of the car to avoid suspicion.

However, at this moment, Lin Chu suddenly spoke.

“Attorney Zhu, since it’s just the two of us here, I might as well speak frankly.”

"If you encounter any problems with your promotion next year, you can contact me directly, and my lawyer will put in a good word for you."

“I never intended to threaten you.”

"I just don't want you, a recent graduate and intern lawyer, to follow the wrong person and go down the wrong path."

“I can even introduce you to a more professional and larger law firm.”

"The future development will definitely be better."

“You don’t need to tell Attorney Song these things, and she won’t know anyway. It’s all up to you.”

Zhu Yuanyuan's hand was already on the car door, but she stopped instinctively when she heard this.

After Lin Chu finished speaking, her gaze also wavered somewhat.

He wanted to refuse outright, but the words wouldn't come out. He simply pushed open the car door and got out without saying a word.
