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...
"No, Su Lin, don't get agitated, you've misunderstood..."
"ah!!!"
Song Yuhong hadn't expected Su Lin to actually read through the supplementary agreements so carefully. For a moment, even with her extensive experience, she was caught off guard and panicked.
Seeing Su Lin's contorted face, looking as if she wanted to smash through the glass wall and devour them alive, she was so frightened that she hurriedly dropped the microphone and retreated in a panic.
Even though the glass wall was impossible to break, she was still terrified.
Not to mention that Zhu Yuanyuan, who was standing to the side, was on tenterhooks the whole time and couldn't help at all!
Upon seeing this, he hurriedly grabbed his bag and ran away.
Clinging to Song Yuhong's arm, she hid in terror to the side, constantly pleading for help from the guards inside the detention center with her eyes.
The prisoner has gone mad!
Their visit to the prison today was, frankly, not because they actually intended to get Su Lin out of jail, but because they wanted to use the opportunity of representing her in court to get her to sign a clause for priority reimbursement of legal fees.
In this way, even if they lose the defense, they won't lose everything because their client is imprisoned.
Su Lin had already finished signing those documents.
But at the very last moment, she discovered the crucial problem and went completely mad, roaring and cursing at the two of them from inside the glass wall.
Bang!
Splash!
In an instant, Su Lin slammed the phone receiver in her hand against the glass wall and kicked the chair she was sitting on away from her.
He lunged at the glass wall like a madman, roaring at the two people outside.
Why would even you guys lie to me?!
"I promised you so much money, you should have helped me win the lawsuit, you liars!!"
"ah!!!"
"Did Lin Chu arrange for you to come? Did he deliberately hire you to be my defense lawyers? Have you been lying to me from beginning to end?!"
"It's you again!! Zhu Yuanyuan!!!"
Su Lin watched the two people who had retreated from the glass wall in a panic, and suddenly seemed to think of something. She gritted her teeth and looked at Zhu Yuanyuan hiding behind her with a ferocious expression.
"You must have betrayed me!!"
"That day at dinner, Lin Chu deliberately arranged for his lawyer to sit with you. What exactly did you two talk about?!"
"Did you promise Lin Chu that you'd help him harm me?!"
"Or did you all conspire together?!"
"ah!!"
"I won't let you get away with this!!!"
"I won't give you a single penny!"
"ah!!!"
Thump!
Just as Su Lin was going crazy and roaring, the detention center guards behind her rushed up and pinned her down, shouting at her sternly.
"Behave yourself, watch your temper!!"
"Visit is over. Take the person back!"
Although Su Lin was furious, she couldn't change anything.
In no time, the guards pinned him against the wall, bound him again, and forcefully tried to take him back to his cell!
She was still screaming hysterically when she was taken away.
"You're all ruining me!!"
"May they all die a horrible death!!"
"ah!!"
When she saw the clauses related to the properties in her hometown in the middle of the document.
All my expectations and hopes were shattered in an instant!
Even if she was slow to react, she realized at this moment that all the comforting words Song Yuhong had said to her were fake and she was deliberately lying to her!
At this moment, she truly broke down.
Even the last glimmer of hope was gone; it was a complete and utter defeat!
Bang!
As Su Lin was led out of the visiting room, the iron gate to the cell area closed, and finally, her hysterical screams and curses could no longer be heard inside the visiting room.
However, Zhu Yuanyuan's heart was unusually heavy at this moment.
Song Yuhong calmed down quickly and regained her composure, though she felt a little regretful looking at the unsigned and torn documents scattered on the floor.
Before they could say anything more, the staff urged them to leave the meeting room.
After they left the detention center, they returned to their cars.
Song Yuhong fastened her seatbelt while sighing helplessly.
"What a pity, it was just a little short."
“If she completes the signing, then we won’t have to go through the trouble of legal procedures, and we can directly receive our legal fees.”
"Now it seems that she also voluntarily gave up on us defending her."
"That saves us some trouble."
"Then let's follow the previous agreement and take legal action to recover the unpaid wages. Let's try to seize those houses in her hometown before Lin Chu's legal team does."
As she was speaking, she realized there was no response from the side.
He immediately turned his head in confusion and saw Zhu Yuanyuan looking dazed, holding her briefcase with both hands and staring intently at the doll ornament on the center console in front of her.
He couldn't help but chuckle and pushed her away.
"Hey! What are you thinking about?!"
"How about I drive?"
Zhu Yuanyuan was jolted back to her senses by the push, and seemed somewhat bewildered.
"Huh?! Who?"
"Ah, no need, no need. I was just thinking about something, and I've figured it out."
"I'll drive, I'll drive."
As she spoke, she hurriedly pressed the start button, ready to hit the road immediately.
Seeing this, Song Yuhong quickly grabbed her arm, feeling both helpless and amused.
"Hey, how are you going to drive in this condition?"
"Alright, alright, get down here. Let's switch places. I don't want to die at your hands."
“You’re just a recent graduate and an intern. Whether you live or die doesn’t make much difference, but I have a whole bunch of cases and clients waiting for me to save them.”
"Besides, I've worked so hard to get to where I am now, with a house, a car, and money. I value my life."
"Come down."
Bang!
Without giving Zhu Yuanyuan any further explanation, Song Yuhong pushed open the passenger door and got out, walking straight to the driver's side door.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanyuan could only sigh helplessly, take her things, get off the bus to exchange seats, and successfully board the new bus.
Thump!
As she sat in the passenger seat and closed the door, Song Yuhong had already skillfully started the car.
As the car merged into the lane, it began to move smoothly.
Song Yuhong finally breathed a sigh of relief and gave a slightly helpless chuckle.
"What, haven't you gotten used to the feeling of guilt yet?"
"Do you think I was too heartless towards Su Lin?"
"I thought you really understood what I said at the courthouse that day. It seems you still lack experience."
"You have to get used to this kind of thing."
"We have countless customers, but we only have one. We can't sacrifice our own interests for the sake of one customer."
"Cheer up, I'm going to put you in charge of the next case."
"It just so happens that it's time for your probationary period assessment after the New Year. The local bar association is quite strict, so you need to take it seriously."
After hearing these words, Zhu Yuanyuan came to her senses and her resolve strengthened.
"Yes, I understand, Lawyer Song..."
