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...
The night passed peacefully.
Lin Chu persuaded Su Lin and felt that she had solved a big problem.
That would allow Su Lin to finally give up on her harassment and obediently take her adoptive parents back to their hometown in the south, giving them some peace and quiet.
As for the two houses in Su Lin's hometown in a southern city, consider it a loss to avoid further trouble.
Early in the morning, the nanny prepared breakfast.
At the dinner table, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward, with only Lin Chu and her daughter Mai Mai interacting occasionally as Lin Chu took care of her daughter while she ate breakfast.
On the other side, Ge Lan was eating her breakfast by herself, with a nanny serving her.
I didn't feel embarrassed at all; the service was much better than at a hotel.
Su Lin was the only one who was caught in the middle; she couldn't talk to either side she wanted to.
After finishing breakfast, he could only reluctantly say goodbye to his daughter Mai Mai and leave alone.
When Mai Mai saw her mother walk out of the villa, she followed after her with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
But children aren't naive.
Having experienced her mother's aggressive behavior yesterday, she also felt a slight resistance and distance from her mother.
She turned and hugged Lin Chu's neck, resting her sullen little head on her father's shoulder.
Fortunately, there is still Ge Lan.
By taking the initiative to approach Mai Mai, chatting and playing with her, the child quickly regained her cheerful and lively personality.
Lin Chu looked at her daughter and laughed again, feeling a great weight lifted from her heart.
Feel free to contact a legal team, prepare to draft an agreement, assess the reasonableness of the transaction, and make thorough preparations.
Meanwhile, Su Lin left the villa area and went straight to Song Yuhong's law firm office.
After she hesitantly explained her purpose...
In the office, Song Yuhong and Zhu Yuanyuan were both surprised and looked up at her with disbelief in their eyes.
"What? You want to withdraw the lawsuit?"
Song Yuhong frowned slightly and subconsciously glanced at her assistant Zhu Yuanyuan, who was also looking surprised and confused. She felt a vague sense of unease.
Yesterday, Zhu Yuanyuan accompanied Su Lin to see Lin Chu.
They came back first thing this morning and immediately asked to withdraw the lawsuit?!
If you say there's nothing fishy going on here, I doubt anyone would believe you.
In particular, his assistant Zhu Yuanyuan did not report on dinner as agreed last night, and he only found out this morning that she was drunk.
Those hesitant, evasive gestures only heightened Song Yuhong's vigilance and suspicion.
Could it be that my house has been raided?
Zhu Yuanyuan was also terrified when she heard Su Lin's sudden change in attitude.
My boss is right here. How come this client wants to withdraw the lawsuit after having dinner with me last night? It's like they're throwing mud at her!
Especially the bait Lin Chu offered last night had tempted her, making her hesitant.
In the morning, I subconsciously withheld some information from Song Lu.
Now he was even more at a loss, and hurriedly and frantically tried to persuade Su Lin.
"Ms. Su, why did you suddenly decide to withdraw the lawsuit?"
"Once we get to court, Attorney Song will definitely help you win this case, and the property division will be at least tens of millions!"
"And the copyrights to those new songs, their market valuation, generate at least tens of millions in revenue every year!"
"As long as you can get a share of the copyright, you'll never have to worry about money again!"
"And what about your daughter? Don't you want to fight for custody of her?"
“The child is still young, so the judge will naturally be more inclined to support the mother. As long as you can get the property and ensure that the child’s standard of living does not decline, you will definitely be able to get custody of your daughter!”
"What exactly did Lin Chu say to you that made you decide to withdraw the lawsuit?"
"What if there's a trap? Why don't you tell us and we can help you analyze it!"
After listening to her assistant's increasingly anxious persuasion of Su Lin, Song Yuhong's suspicions about Su Lin's betrayal lessened slightly.
But she's not some child who can be easily fooled.
Once the client's issue of withdrawing the lawsuit is resolved, I will definitely have to thoroughly question this assistant who is behaving abnormally.
There must be absolutely no hidden dangers.
However, she didn't rush to persuade her, but just stared at Su Lin, who looked hesitant, without saying a word.
At this point, the more anxious she became, the more passive she became.
Only by understanding why the client suddenly changed their mind could she have a chance to turn the tables.
After listening to Zhu Yuanyuan's persuasion, Su Lin's hard-won resolve began to waver slightly.
After all, making a decision alone is never as effective as having a think tank to advise you.
She was genuinely worried that Lin Chu might be setting a trap for her, leaving her penniless and heartbroken.
"Well... it's not that I don't consider the child."
"However, I did what you told me to do, but I couldn't find any copyright documents or original recordings for those new songs at all."
"Without evidence, do you think you can win just by relying on the medical records you got from that psychologist?"
"What if we lose? My family..."
Su Lin stopped abruptly at this point, pondered for a moment, and decided to keep some things from her.
He then gave a soft hum, sounding somewhat impatient.
"In short, I just want to leave myself some way out, so that things don't get too ugly."
"If I lose the lawsuit, I'll have no way out."
“If you can’t take responsibility for my life then, I can’t live a poor life.”
"Forget it, let's just withdraw the lawsuit!"
Seeing Su Lin's hesitant expression, Zhu Yuanyuan was completely baffled and had no idea what she meant.
However, the experienced Song Yuhong already understood what was going on.
He chuckled softly.
“Alright, since Ms. Su Lin wants to withdraw the lawsuit, then as her lawyer, I also have to consider my client’s interests.”
"There is indeed a possibility of losing this case. Even if the risk is only 0.01%, it is ultimately my fault for not being able to guarantee a 100% victory. It is due to my lack of professional competence."
"Yuanyuan, then you should follow the procedure and have Ms. Su pay the lawyer's fees."
"Prepare the documents according to the agreed amount and have Ms. Su sign them."
The words had barely left her mouth when Zhu Yuanyuan hadn't even had a chance to move.
Su Lin, on the contrary, was the first to object, and hurriedly shouted, her eyes wide open.
"Wait a minute!"
"What lawyer fees!?"
"Why should I have to pay lawyer fees if I'm not even going to sue?!"
"You haven't even had a court hearing yet!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanyuan wavered a bit and looked at Song Yuhong with a worried expression, hoping that she could find another way to persuade the client.
“Song Law, this…”
However, Song Yuhong snorted coldly, her smile vanishing completely.
"What, I just turned on you to your face and asked you to pay my lawyer fees, and you're not even happy about it?"
"Did Lin Chu promise to leave you a way out, or offer you any benefits to get you to withdraw the lawsuit?"
"I've seen far too many customers like you!"
"To me, they're all just stupid women!"
"By believing a man's words, you've blocked your own escape route. If he turns his back on you in the future, even if you want to question Lin Chu like you questioned me today, you'll have to see if you can even see Lin Chu!"
