[Chapter 18 Huo Jingze is an old man]
Qian Yaozu's heart sank, he wasn't sure why Huo Jingze suddenly mentioned Hua Yurou.
He calmed down and said, "Studying abroad was decided a month ago. Cousin, I'll tell you the truth. Although Hua Yurou is Lin Ze's fiancée, she is not a good woman. She has been trying to seduce me secretly. That day in the company, she took the initiative to seduce me, so I played with her for a while, and Lin Ze happened to see it, so... After the incident, Hua Yurou didn't know how to stand, so she simply went abroad to avoid it."
"Really?" Huo Jingze looked at Qian Yaozu intently for a few seconds.
His eyes were very penetrating, as if they could see through people's hearts. Qian Yaozu didn't dare to look at him and lowered his eyes to avoid his sight.
Qian Yaozu squeezed his slightly damp palms and was about to say something else when Huo Jingze suddenly withdrew his gaze and spoke in a calm voice.
"We lack substantial evidence to prove that Lin Ze intentionally injured someone. Hua Yurou is the only witness present. If she testifies in court, the case can be concluded sooner."
Qian Yaozu frowned, "Hua Yurou is involved in the company's core project. If she quits halfway, the company will lose the trust of its foreign partners."
Anyway, Hua Yurou can’t come back, that’s what I mean.
Huo Jingze picked up the coffee on the coffee table, lowered his head and took a sip. It was hard to tell whether he believed it or not.
Qian Yaozu asked tentatively, "Cousin, with your ability, even without direct evidence, you can get Lin Ze sentenced to life imprisonment, right?"
The living devil of the legal world, the most eloquent and eloquent person in S City, he never loses whenever he takes action.
Huo Jingze was certainly confident of this, but he had set a bottom line for himself: he would not take any non-commercial cases that violated public order, good customs and social morality.
He was still unsure about Lin Ze's situation.
Huo Jingze put down his coffee cup with a calm expression, "Without direct evidence, the maximum sentence is five years. If you behave well, the sentence will be reduced and you can be out of prison in three or four years."
It took millions of dollars in legal fees to get a sentence of only a few years?
Qian Yaozu was not very happy, but he did not dare to show it due to Huo Jingze's power. He could only smile and say, "Cousin, just do your best to get Lin Ze sentenced to a few more years."
As for the rest, he has his own way.
All that needed to be said was said, and both of them had their own thoughts. Huo Jingze strode towards the office door and left.
He was originally going to attend a dinner party, but the other party had something urgent to do and postponed the time, so he simply returned to the villa early.
…
Today is Friday, the day when Lin Yin gives Huo Nian tutoring. However, Huo Nian doesn't know yet that Huo Jingze has sold her out.
She just got off the car and didn't even go home, but waited for Lin Yin at the gate.
Lin Yin took a taxi over, and as soon as she got off the car, she saw Huo Nian waving at her happily.
Then, the girl rushed over and gave her a big bear hug, her love for Lin Yin almost overflowing.
"Sister Yin, I haven't seen you for five days. Do you miss me?"
Huo Nian hugged Lin Yin, raised his delicate and cute face, and acted coquettishly.
Lin Yin touched her face. She was not one who was very good at expressing her emotions, but her gentle eyes had already given the answer.
The two of them entered the villa talking and laughing. Huo Nian just entered the first grade of junior high school this year. She attends an aristocratic school in S City. The study pressure is quite high. Lin Yin specially customized a study plan for her to ensure high-efficiency study while giving her more time to rest and relax.
Today's tutoring session was still held in Huo Nian's small study. While discussing the questions, Huo Nian would occasionally peek at Lin Yin.
Lin Yin noticed and tapped the table lightly with a black pen, "Nian Nian, concentrate, why do you always peek at me?"
Huo Nian blinked his innocent big eyes and smiled sweetly, "Because Sister Yin is pretty, with fair skin and a nice voice!"
Children are simple-minded. They say whatever they want to say and their compliments are very direct.
Lin Yin's face turned red, feeling a little embarrassed. "Okay, Nian Nian, concentrate on the class."
"For the following questions, just use the method of analogy. I already know how to do it!"
"Really? Then show me the changes you made at the back."
Huo Nian took the pen confidently and finished correcting the answers in just a few minutes. They were all correct.
Lin Yin was surprised at Huo Nian's intelligence, but then she thought, she is Huo Jingze's sister, how could she not be smart?
After the tutorial, Lin Yin cleaned up the things on the table, and then she naturally mentioned the loan contract, "Niannian, I know you want to help me, but don't do this again in the future, okay?"
She was emotionally stable and her voice was still as gentle as water.
Huo Nian's smile suddenly collapsed. He was extremely nervous, afraid that Lin Yin would be angry.
She held Lin Yin's hand, her big eyes wet, "I'm sorry, I will listen to you from now on, sister, please don't be angry, okay?"
"I'm not angry, and I don't blame you."
Lin Yin's tone became gentler. She rubbed Huo Nian's head lightly and said a few words of comfort before stopping Huo Nian's tears.
There was a silver clock hanging on the wall, and the hour hand had pointed to seven o'clock.
"I'm leaving first."
Lin Yin picked up the cloth bag and prepared to leave.
"Sister, can you stay with me for a while? Auntie has asked for leave today, and brother won't be back until very late."
Huo Nian pulled Lin Yin's hand and shook it, blinking his big eyes full of pleading, and his coquettish look was very cute.
Although the Huo family villa is large, it is quite empty and there are very few people. There is only one auntie who is responsible for taking care of Huo Nian's daily life, and the other nannies are part-time workers.
"I haven't eaten yet. I'm so hungry." Huo Nian touched his flat belly, looking pitiful.
Lin Yin softened her heart and agreed to stay and even cooked a meal.
In the restaurant, Huo Nian sat on a pink chair with his eyes shining.
Lin Yin served the last of the soup to the table and said with a smile, "Eat quickly."
She is a good cook and can make simple home-cooked meals look good and smell good.
Huo Nian was eating very happily and couldn't help but ask, "Sister Yin, can you date my brother? Then I can eat the food you cook often!"
The child said nothing, so Lin Yin didn't take it too seriously and smiled: "If you like, I'll make it for you when I'm free."
"Sister, what kind of boys do you like?" Huo Nian continued.
Lin Yin picked up the water cup and said as she drank, "Gentle and kind."
Huo Nian's big eyes sparkled immediately, and he blurted out, "My brother is very gentle and kind!"
Lin Yin: “…”
She almost spit out a mouthful of water!
Huo Jingze is gentle and kind? Then there are probably no bad people in this world. He is obviously a black-bellied old fox.
They are indeed brother and sister, the filter is so thick!
"How about you be my sister-in-law?" Huo Nian said another shocking thing.
Lin Yin held her forehead with her hand, her expression quite helpless: "That's impossible, Nian Nian, stop talking nonsense."
"Why?" Huo Nian was very disappointed.
Children have simple minds and don't think about too many twists and turns. It's not easy to talk to Huo Nian about things like love between men and women and mismatched family backgrounds.
Lin Yin pursed her lips and racked her brains to come up with a relatively good reason, "I like younger boys."
Huo Nian blinked her long eyelashes, looking a little regretful, "Brother is 27 years old this year, it seems he is an old man, sister doesn't like him."
"..." Lin Yin was speechless.
"Sister, I was watching a video before and there was a guy in a white coat saying that it's no good when you get older. What does that mean? Do you dislike your brother because he's no good?"
Huo Nian said something shocking again, and Lin Yin didn't know what to say.
At this moment, a faint voice suddenly came from behind -
"I'm back."
