Chapter 119 is a person of good judgment.
Qin Ce stood behind the two men. He and Wang Ye were wearing the same style of shirt, and neither of them had tucked it into their pants.
Qin Ce exuded a casual and unrestrained vibe, while Wang Ye looked sloppy.
He went straight to the refrigerator, grabbed a bottle of water, and Qiao Xing frowned. It was the middle of the night, and he was drinking ice water. Wasn't he worried about hurting his stomach in this weather?
Qin Ce unscrewed the bottle cap and sat down diagonally opposite Wang Ye, adopting that familiar boss-like posture. Qiao Xing unconsciously straightened up, as if she were in a company meeting, waiting for her boss to give her instructions.
He stared at Wang Ye and said, "If you don't want to send her back, there are two options: send her to a nursing home, or send her to her son's place."
Wang Ye was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously exchanged a glance with Qiao Xing. "Sending people to nursing homes... what will the old people think of us? Besides, nursing homes aren't cheap."
Even the worst and most remote nursing homes in Chongqing cost 30,000 yuan a year.
Qin Ce then said, "Then send it to his son."
Wang Ye started to struggle again, "Her son is heartless, how could she possibly have a good time there?"
“A son has an obligation to support his parents, and Zhou Lan and her husband have treated him well, so he has no reason not to support her.”
"What if he doesn't raise it then?" Wang Ye asked rhetorically.
Qin Ce said, "Sue him."
"..."
This makes things even more complicated.
Wang Ye asked hesitantly, "Is there anything simpler and easier?"
Qin Ce glanced at him sideways and said indifferently, "Yes."
Wang Ye asked excitedly, "What method?"
“Buy her a house, buy another house for your parents, hire a nanny, and everything will be solved.”
Wang Ye's face fell instantly. "You might as well send him to a nursing home."
Qin Ce crossed his legs and stared at him silently without saying a word.
Wang Ye felt guilty under his gaze. "Then, then sending her to Hu Jun's house would be fine... Can you guarantee that Hu Jun will treat her well?"
"Find a lawyer to take her there. If Hu Jun doesn't accept it, make him get the money he took from Zhou Lan back."
Qiao Xing also thought this method was feasible. The word "lawyer" is very intimidating to ordinary people. When the lawyer sends Zhou Lan over, he can give Hu Jun a few words of advice, and Hu Jun will have no choice but to support her even if he doesn't want to.
Life might not be so smooth, but at least we can make ends meet. Ideally, we should get the money back so that when we come back to live with my cousin and his family, my aunt won't say anything.
"Cousin, I think it's a good idea. I know a lawyer, let me ask him."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ce suddenly fell silent.
How many lawyers does she know?
There was no one else besides Lu Yan.
Qiao Xing took out her phone and saw that it was only nine o'clock. She guessed that Lu Yan was still awake. She sent a message: Are you there?
The moment you click send, a red exclamation mark appears on the screen.
Qiao Xing stared at the exclamation mark and the line below it—"You are not yet friends with this person. Please send a friend request..."
She was stunned. When did Lu Yan delete her?
Qiao Xing carefully recalled what grudges she had with Lu Yan, and after thinking it over, she realized that they hadn't been in contact since the last time they met at the coffee shop.
Could it be that he felt she was untrustworthy because she didn't treat him to a meal, and then he was too embarrassed to ask her for the consultation fee, so he deleted her?
Qin Ce and Wang Ye stared at her ever-changing face, seemingly lost in thought.
Finally, Wang Ye asked, "What's wrong? Forgot your name?"
Qiao Xing awkwardly raised her head and gave Wang Ye an embarrassed smile, "He deleted me."
"Huh?" Wang Ye was taken aback. "Do lawyers also clean up their friend lists?"
"I don't know..." Qiao Xing was also confused.
Both of them were stunned, but Qin Ce looked at Qiao Xing with an ambiguous expression, and the corners of his mouth turned up almost imperceptibly.
It seems that this lawyer, Mr. Lu, is a person of good judgment.
Qin Ce now thinks highly of him.
Wang Ye was still giving Qiao Xing bad advice, "It might have been deleted by mistake. Try adding it back. Sometimes when I'm cleaning up inactive friends, I accidentally delete some too."
Qiao Xing thought it was possible. Just as she was about to send a friend request, Qin Ce suddenly spoke up, "I also know a lawyer."
Qiao Xing paused, then looked up at Qin Ce.
"You know a lawyer too? That's great! Are you close to him? Is he very capable?"
Qin Ce picked up the water, took a sip, and covered his mouth to hide the smile that he almost couldn't suppress.
After finishing his water, his expression returned to its usual calm. "We're very familiar with each other. He's the legal counsel for several companies and is most skilled at handling economic disputes."
"That's pretty impressive." Qiao Xing clicked her tongue in amazement. If he didn't have some skills, he couldn't possibly be the legal counsel for multiple companies. "How do you know so many impressive people?"
Qin Ce choked for a moment.
Before he could figure out how to make up a story, Wang Ye stepped in to help him out, saying, "Isn't that obvious? He studied abroad and majored in finance, so is it strange that he knows a lawyer?"
"Yes, that's right." Qiao Xing thought about it and agreed, then smiled sheepishly.
If you can know lawyers, then Qin Ce can certainly do the same.
Qin Ce said, "I'll contact him tomorrow. Let him handle Zhou Lan's matter. It's getting late; you should go back."
Wang Ye had originally intended to stay overnight because of the heavy rain outside, but he didn't expect Qin Ce to be so blunt in kicking him out.
Then he thought about it again, and realized that the couple had finally moved to a new house and were newlyweds, so he understood.
"I understand, I understand. I'll head back now." Wang Ye stood up, feeling much better than when he arrived.
Despite being pressured by his own mother, he still chose her. This shows that everyone has selfish desires, especially when forced to make a choice; subconsciously, people will seek advantage and avoid harm.
"And this outfit?"
"It's yours."
Wang Ye grinned, "I can't wear this. I'll wash it and bring it back to you later."
Shirts were too much trouble for him, and they looked awkward on him; he wasn't used to them.
"what ever."
Qiao Xing quickly stood up, found an umbrella, and handed it to Wang Ye. "You should take a taxi home. You're so old, why are you trying to get soaked in the rain? You've been watching too many TV dramas."
Wang Ye took her umbrella and explained, "No, it wasn't raining when I came out, but who knew it would start raining so hard halfway here. Never mind, I'll go first. Remember to contact me tomorrow."
After saying that, he changed into his own shoes and left Qiao Xing's house.
Qiao Xing stood up, then quickly ran over and sat down next to Qin Ce. She asked, "Such a great lawyer must be very expensive, right?"
"Not cheap."
"That... how expensive is it?" Qiao Xing started to worry again. Would Qin Ce have to pay for it again?
She herself didn't realize that her heart had already begun to lean towards Qin Ce.
"Charges are based on time."
How much per hour?
"If it's a family dispute like Zhou Lan's, without specific requirements, it'll be around ten thousand." They might not even be willing to take it.
"..."
Qiao Xing counted on his fingers. If the cost started from the time he hired the employee, and included the time it took to get to Hu Jun's house and back... it would have been over 100,000 yuan.
She glanced at Qin Ce with a pang of sympathy.
Qin Ce raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What's wrong?"
