Burning the琉璃盏 of the Heavenly Dao, he was thrown into small worlds to serve his punishment. Holding a grudge, the little lamp wick decides that since the Heavenly Dao has abandoned him, he will cl...
Wen Zhuo felt heartbroken to see that he seemed really tired.
I asked the barista to make me a cup of hot milk and brought it to Nan Yu.
"Don't worry, the lawyer I hired is fine."
"I'm afraid they'll talk about my sister privately..." she sighed.
"Do you trust me?" Wen Zhuo asked, looking at the boy.
Nan Yu nodded.
“I will not let you down. It’s alright, Xiao Xun. This is a society governed by law. The Lin family doesn’t have much influence in the government. If he dares to bribe, I will send the bribed person to jail as well.”
"Thank you."
"Don't be so pessimistic. How about I take you out for a walk later?"
"Never mind, I have to go back to school."
"Okay, I'll take you."
"Thanks."
Sitting in the passenger seat, he listlessly stared out the window.
Chen Xu didn't know how to restrain himself. He found Chen Pandi's address and went there to mock her, hoping to provoke her. He vowed that if she dared to lay a hand on him, he would make sure she spent the rest of her life in jail!
There is no sibling relationship.
Chen Xu felt nothing but hatred towards the Chen family.
In a poor mountain village, people insist on having sons even though they can't afford it. Can they afford to raise so many?
If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been switched at birth and could have enjoyed a privileged life from a young age instead of having to wait until adulthood to be reunited with my family!
Chen Pandi has learned her lesson. She was afraid of implicating Nan Yu if she went to the police station. No matter how Chen Xu provoked her, even if she couldn't bear it anymore, she would endure it to the end, but she would silently remember these grudges in her heart.
Don't give her a chance to turn things around.
Otherwise, Chen Xu would definitely be dismissed!
Chen Xu wanted to apologize, but Chen Pandi was flexible and kept saying sorry. Only those who can endure can achieve great things. Although Chen Pandi was a girl, her temperament was better than that of most men.
Chen Xu finally got bored of all the fuss and left with his bodyguards.
The court hearing has begun.
Chen Xu's facial injuries had healed, and he didn't want to appear in court as a victim, which would interfere with his pursuit of women. So, the lawyer could only use photos and hospital diagnoses to exaggerate the extent of his injuries.
The lawyer Wen Zhuo hired for Chen Pandi was no pushover either.
Similarly, retrieve a medical record from the hospital.
It's just a superficial injury.
The Lin family's portion was altered.
The court investigation revealed that Wen Zhuo had also used his connections, and the court ultimately acquitted Chen Pandi. However, because Chen Pandi had committed assault first, she was required to compensate Chen Xu. Wen Zhuo's lawyer then sued Chen Xu.
Chen Xu was violent in his beatings, and Chen Pandi was also beaten.
The injury was quite serious.
The bruise on her lip hadn't faded, and she even had a broken rib. In terms of injuries, Chen Pandi's were more serious. Moreover, they had the mall's surveillance cameras. Chen Xu had provoked trouble first and should pay compensation.
A lawyer's words can turn the dead into the living.
It all comes down to whose logic is stronger.
In the end, the Lin family lost the case.
The court ordered Chen Xu to pay Chen Pandi 89,000 yuan in damages.
Lin's mother looked grim. She didn't care about the money; she just couldn't bear to lose face. If she lost the case, wouldn't that prove that her son was in the wrong first?
Chen Pandi is alright now, and the siblings are in good spirits. They chat happily at the courthouse entrance. Lin's mother is wearing sunglasses and is followed by a large group of people, including her older sisters, who look down on Nan Yu.
Seeing that Nan Yu was getting close to the Chen family, and was smiling so happily, Lin's mother was surprised.
I felt increasingly uneasy.
I don't know Wen Zhuo, but I do know his father, Wen Xincheng, who is a powerful figure in the business world with businesses all over the world. His uncle is the top official in Haicheng and has an extremely strong network of connections. I don't know how Nan Yu knows Wen Zhuo.
But he wanted to take action against Chen Pandi again.
That would be tantamount to going against the Wen family.
Lin's mother had no choice but to give up the idea of harming Chen Pandi.
Upon learning that he would have to pay compensation, Chen Xu immediately became unhappy. Instead of looking for Chen Pandi, he went to find Nan Yu, but after searching everywhere, he couldn't find her. He then asked Lin's mother:
"Mom, where did Lin Xun go?"
"do what?"
Lin's mother has been in a bad mood lately, but Chen Xu seems oblivious to it, only caring about himself.
“Didn’t you say you’d put Chen Pandi in jail? How come our family ended up losing money? I need to talk to Lin Xun about this.”
"Alright! Can you please shut up for a second?"
Lin's mother could no longer tolerate it.
Chen Xu frowned, displeased, and said, "Why are you being so fierce? What did I do now?"
Lin's mother: "When will you grow up? You've been home for a year now, and how much trouble have you caused? Lin Xun is now biased towards your poor family. All these years of raising your son have been for nothing!"
Chen Xu scoffed: "Yes, I was immature and not as good as Lin Xun. If you didn't like me back then, don't acknowledge me. Continue to recognize that non-blood-related person as your son, and give all the family property to outsiders in the future!"
Lin's mother: "You!"
Chen Xu slammed the door and left.
Lin's mother was so angry that she went to her daughter to complain. Lin's older sister's eyes flashed with a dark light as she comforted her, "Xiao Xu is still young, take it slow. He must have felt wronged all these years. I'll have a meal with Xiao Xu later to talk to him."
Lin's mother was still feeling unwell.
Chen Xu is not a loving father; he only cares about money, which is obvious to anyone with eyes. Lin's mother wanted to cultivate a relationship with him, but Chen Xu spent all his time indulging in debauchery and causing trouble everywhere.
Nan Yu has completely lost heart.
Lin's mother felt as if she were holding two handfuls of sand. One was held firmly by money and could slip away at any moment, while the other was already slipping through her fingers. She couldn't hold onto either one.
Sister Lin treated Chen Xu to dinner.
She helped him speak ill of Nan Yu, praised her own younger brother to the extreme, and wanted him to rot in a life of extravagance. She wanted to make Lin's mother regret it and admit that favoring sons over daughters was wrong!
Her sons are far inferior to her daughters!
In every aspect!
Without any contact with the Lin family, Nan Yu gained two pounds. Chen Pandi received her first paycheck and, hearing that making snacks was profitable, she became an apprentice for free, selling fried skewers.
Frying doesn't require much skill; the seasoning is all you need.
Seeing that she was hardworking and reliable, the master chef naturally wouldn't give her the secret recipe for the ingredients. However, Chen Pandi could get the ingredients from him and open the business elsewhere, as long as she didn't steal the master chef's business.
Chen Pandi went to the university gate.
Because the food tastes good and the prices are generally affordable, she can't keep up with the demand every day. Her business is the most booming on the street. Nowadays, people do business with WeChat and will ask for small change, but she won't. If you buy more than 30 yuan worth of food at once, she will give you 5 yuan worth of chicken strips for free. Students love to eat at her place.
Nan Yu was moved to see that she had started her own small business.
Bringing this older sister along was definitely the right decision.
...
"A Long Island Iced Tea, please."
Nan Yu sat on a high stool, resting her elbows on the armrests, and smiled at Wen Zhuo.
Wen Zhuo approached and said, "Go back to sleep."
Nan Yu: "Can't sleep? I'll have a drink, I'll pay."
Wen Zhuo: "How can you drink alcohol if you have allergies?"
Nan Yu: "I'll just smell it, I won't drink it."
I don't know if it's because I've been spending too much time in taverns, or for some other reason, but now I don't get drunk when I drink alcohol. I want to try smelling it to see if it will make me drunk.
Wen Zhuo took out the iced milk from the refrigerator, unscrewed the cap and poured it into a transparent glass, then added green tea, topped it with ice cubes and mint leaves, and handed a non-alcoholic milk tea to Nan Yu.
"You smell like alcohol sitting here, go drink some milk."
The wick drank through a straw, and as he drank, his eyes lit up. It tasted pretty good, and he looked at Wen Zhuo with admiration.
Q: "How come you can adjust everything?"
Wen Zhuo chuckled softly: "Want to learn?"
The wick nodded in agreement.
