Lu Mingji acted very quickly. At around ten o'clock in the morning, he sent a message to Xia Xi, telling her that he had contacted a lawyer.

Xia Xi didn't want to delay his work, so he added the lawyer's WeChat business card and made an appointment to meet him at noon.

Lu Mingji was worried about her, so he sent her a message later: "Will I accompany you to see the lawyer?"

Xia Xi just wanted to know some information related to custody and didn't plan to go to court. However, the lawyer was introduced by Lu Mingji after all, and he was more familiar with him. With him around, it should be much easier to talk to him, so she agreed.

At noon, Lu Mingji came to find Xia Xi. He was responsible for driving to the restaurant that had been booked in advance.

The lawyer had arrived and was sitting by the window waiting for them. He was in his thirties, wearing a dark blue striped suit, half-frame glasses, and had a handsome face. His black briefcase was placed on an empty seat to the side.

Lu Mingji briefly introduced both parties and said to Xia Xiduo, "Don't underestimate Lawyer Luo's youth. He is the backbone of their law firm. He is particularly authoritative in custody battles and has a high success rate."

He didn't lower his voice. While giving Xia Xi reassurance, he was also complimenting Lawyer Luo so that he would pay more attention to the case.

Lu Mingji had used several connections to find such a powerful lawyer, hoping to help Xia Xi. Only when she had an absolute chance of winning and felt at ease would she not be constrained by Xu Yanfeng.

Luo Lu waved his hand: "I don't deserve it."

Lu Mingji poured him some water: "Luo Lu is too modest."

Lu Mingji called the waiter over, and after the three of them ordered their meals, Luo Lu started working and asked about Xia Xi's situation.

Lawyers have professional ethics and qualities. Xia Xi was not worried that he would spread the news, so he did not hide his true situation and told him the whole story.

Simply put, she had a child when she was dating her ex-boyfriend, and then she went abroad alone. Her ex-boyfriend didn't know about the existence of the child. Recently, he found out and started to think about taking custody of the child.

Lawyer Luo understood. "Let me ask you about your ex-boyfriend's current job, his income, his family members, and their circumstances. If you don't know, just say you don't know. If you do, the more detailed the better. This will all be helpful to the case. I also need to know about your occupation, financial situation, and some family details. Let me start with your ex-boyfriend."

Xia Xi: “…”

It’s hard to say what Xu Yanfeng’s work and income are like.

Lu Mingji had already taken these into consideration and felt very unsure. Now, after hearing the lawyer's questions, he felt that winning the lawsuit was harder than climbing to the sky.

Luo Lu adjusted his glasses. Seeing the strange expressions on the faces of both men, he couldn't help but wonder if his words weren't clear enough. "Is there a problem?"

Lu Mingji coughed dryly and spoke for Xia Xi, "Her ex-boyfriend is... the current president of the Xu Group. No doubt, it's the Xu Group you know. As for his income, it may be impossible to estimate, but you should be able to guess."

Luo Lu was startled. The glasses he had just put on slid down his nose a little, and his eyes were about to show through the top of the frames. "You mean... Mr. Xu from the Xu Group?"

Lu Mingji picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, chewing it like straw, and nodded at Luo Lu.

Luo Lu's forehead was covered with sweat. "The GC of Xu's legal department is named Teng?"

Lu Mingji had no idea about this: "I don't know."

"That should be it." Lawyer Luo answered his own question. He took out a tissue, took off his glasses, wiped the lenses, and put them back on. "Lawyer Teng is the idol of all of us lawyers. He wasn't originally at Xu's. I heard he was poached there for a large sum of money."

Lu Mingji suddenly felt the pressure doubled.

He said that given Xu Yanfeng's status, the legal team he hired must be top-notch and no one could beat them!

"But as far as I know, Lawyer Teng wouldn't handle this type of case." Lawyer Luo changed the subject. "He's never handled a case like this before."

Lu Mingji was comforted by his words, and a glimmer of hope ignited. He looked at Xia Xi, whose expression remained calm, save for a hint of fatigue. He called out to her, "Xia Xi?"

Xia Xi paused while drinking water, put down the cup and turned to look at him.

Lu Mingji said, "Lawyer Luo asked you about Xu Yanfeng's family situation."

Xia Xi shook her head. She didn't know Xu Yanfeng's family well. She had only met his father, a stern and dignified man who reminded her of Fahai. As for the rest of them, like his mother and brother, she had never met them in person; she had only heard of them.

If it really came to the point of going to court, Xu Guanshan wouldn't be able to hide it anymore. Xia Xi suddenly felt irritated, holding her forehead with her hand: "Let's forget it, I'll go talk to Xu Yanfeng again."

Based on her understanding of Xu Yanfeng, he would not use tough measures... Of course, her understanding of him only stopped at seven years ago.

She had no idea what he would be like seven years later.

"Are you still the Xia Xi I know? Are you planning to surrender without a fight?" Lu Mingji didn't want her to give up and encouraged her, "Think about how many difficulties we encountered when we were working on projects abroad. We always felt we couldn't make it, but in the end, we overcame them and completed them."

Lawyer Luo didn't understand Xia Xi's inner thoughts. He just thought she was thinking the case was too difficult and was backing out. He also advised her: "We haven't even figured out the basic situation yet. It's too early to give up now."

Xia Xi forced herself to talk to him.

When asked about Xu Yanfeng's marital status, Xia Xi thought about it. She had previously thought that Xu Yanfeng and Ling Yan were a couple, but later inferred from his words that the authenticity of Ling Yan's statement at the class reunion about meeting his parents and discussing engagement was questionable.

Xu Yanfeng should be single.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so shameless as to give her a marriage agreement.
