On her wedding night, Jiang Yilai's comatose husband suddenly woke up. Thus, Jiang Yilai, who was unloved by her father, disliked by her stepmother, had her boyfriend stolen by her stepsister, ...
Jiang Yilai looked at the elegant and wealthy woman in front of her and wondered why she was carrying a gift box so close to the end of the workday. He thought she must have ulterior motives.
"Xiaoyue, pour this lady a cup of coffee."
"No need, I'm not used to the taste of things outside."
Jiang Yilai had barely finished speaking when she was waved away, this person exuding a unique temperament in every gesture, along with a touch of spoiled charm.
Zhang Yue was also stunned at the door. She had received many people, but this was the first time she had encountered someone who refused her so ruthlessly.
Jiang Yilai smiled and said, "Xiaoyue, you can go home first. I'll take care of things here."
Zhang Yue nodded and left, closing the door behind her.
There were only two people left in the office. The wealthy woman picked up the gift box and placed it in front of her, reminding her to open it with a haughty look in her eyes.
However, Jiang Yilai did not do that. Instead, she calmly asked, "May I ask how this lady is addressed, and what brings her to my law firm?"
"It seems your information network isn't very effective; you don't even recognize the deputy mayor's wife."
The wealthy woman seemed somewhat unhappy. Given her usual level of activity, people in this line of work should all know her.
Jiang Yilai laughed and said, "So you are Wang Zhike's wife. I wonder what brings you here."
Mrs. Wang pointed to the gift box bag on her table and said disdainfully, "Don't you understand? I'm here to give you a gift. I know that I've wasted a lot of your time because of my son's heart condition, so consider this compensation."
Jiang Yilai did not respond but waited for her to continue.
"I'm here today to tell you that this case can be settled. The couple has taken my money and agreed to a settlement. Honestly, after all this time, it's just that the money hasn't been paid."
Faced with her arrogant attitude, Jiang Yilai could only lean back in her chair and take a few deep breaths.
Mrs. Wang casually added, "What motherly love can't compare to this small sum of money. It's more than enough for them to have several more children in the future."
Seeing that she was still fixing her hair after she finished speaking, Jiang Yilai burst out laughing.
Her mocking smile displeased Mrs. Wang, who glared at her and asked, "What kind of attitude is that? Are you making fun of me?"
Jiang Yilai waved her hand: "How could I laugh at you? I just feel that your tone right now is completely out of sync with your noble air. It seems you've been putting on quite a show all this time."
These words immediately made Mrs. Wang's face fall, and she said unhappily, "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that I still had a little hope before, thinking that this was just a coincidence, but after seeing you, I am even more convinced that this must be a conspiracy, so no matter how difficult it is, I must find out the truth."
Mrs. Wang looked at her incredulously and quickly opened the gift box bag, which was full of heavy cash.
"What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? You lawyers are just in it for the money. If you just accept this, this matter will be over."
Jiang Yilai pointed to the surveillance camera above her head and said sternly, "Mrs. Wang also has an additional charge of bribery. I will formally prosecute you then. Besides, some things cannot be measured by money."
After saying that, he pushed the gift box into her arms and said coldly, "You can take these things and leave now."
I thought things would go smoothly, but instead I was humiliated.
Mrs. Wang repeatedly asked her, "Are you really going to fight to the bitter end? Let me tell you, I'm capable of anything for my son."
