Chapter 173 She's really brave; she sold you out!
"To be honest, this morning I ran into Nanxia and a man discussing a lawsuit at a coffee shop. I bribed the waiter to put drugs in her coffee."
"Song Lu fired me because he was protecting Nan Xia and felt sorry for her." Lin Yi didn't shy away from her terrible behavior at all.
"Then why did he defend you last time and choke Nanxia?" Zhou Yuanming asked again.
"Because he was fooled by me last time, he thought Nanxia was bullying me... Director Zhou, you must believe me, the two of them really slept together a long time ago!"
They've definitely been planning how to kick you out of the law firm for a while now!
We must strike first; even without photos, we can still track them down.
"If that doesn't work, we can set them up, take photos secretly, and then kick them out!" Lin Yi said to him with a sinister smile.
Zhou Yuanming hadn't expected his assistant to be so cunning, but he was quite to his liking.
"Okay, I'll trust you this once. You follow them first, and if you can't get any photos or videos, then we'll devise a plan..."
"Fine." A sinister glint appeared in Lin Yi's eyes. Hmph, they want to kick me out of the law firm? Let's see who gets kicked out first!
-
In the Chinese restaurant downstairs from the law firm.
Nanxia deliberately called Shen Yan and invited him to dinner here. Many employees saw the two of them when they passed by the window.
Shen Yan was surprised that she would call him first, serve her food, and ask, "Have you forgiven me?"
"You wish! You're still in the trial period. I just don't want to eat alone." Nanxia didn't want to forgive him so quickly. You have to keep a man on your toes; you can't be too nice to him.
“Alright, then feel free to test me. I’m sure I can withstand the test,” Shen Yan told her.
At that moment, two people entered the restaurant. It was Zhou Yuanming and Lin Yi. They spotted them immediately, and he deliberately walked over and asked:
"What a coincidence that Attorney Nan and President Shen are eating here too? How about we share a table?"
"Sit down," Nan Xia said, glancing at him, letting him know her current relationship with Shen Yan.
Because it was a two-seater sofa, Zhou Yuanming sat down next to Shen Yan. Lin Yi glanced at Nan Xia and was about to sit down next to her when she was suddenly glared at by Nan Xia with a cold, sharp look.
"You think you're worthy to eat with us?"
Lin Yi's face turned somewhat awkward. She glared at her fiercely and suddenly raised her hand to slap her across the face... They were outside the law firm, so what was wrong with her disciplining her?
Do they really think they're easy to bully?
Zhou Yuanming and Shen Yan were both surprised. She actually dared to attack Nan Xia?
Nan Xia reacted swiftly, grabbing her wrist and slapping her hard across the face with a resounding "Smack!!!"
He slapped me three more times in quick succession!
I've disliked her since this morning, and she still went and walked right into her own trap? She asked for it.
"Nan! Xia!" Lin Yi spat out her name through gritted teeth, feeling like she wanted to kill her.
"What, you want to get beaten up again?" Nan Xia raised an eyebrow and asked her.
“Attorney Nan, please don’t be like that. We’re all colleagues. You’re a renowned lawyer, why bother arguing with a mere assistant?” Zhou Yuanming said with a smile, trying to smooth things over.
"Go somewhere cool and get lost." She stared coldly at the woman.
Lin Yi narrowed her eyes slightly. She would remember this grudge and wait and see; one day she would get her revenge!
She turned and left.
"Why did Attorney Nan have lunch with President Shen today?" Zhou Yuanming asked casually, feigning curiosity.
“Nan and I are a couple now, isn’t it normal for us to eat together?” Shen Yan said.
"Are you two really in a relationship? When did this happen?" he asked tentatively, sounding surprised. Could it be that Nan Xia asked him to put on an act for him?
"A few days ago."
"Congratulations! This morning, Assistant Lin was telling everyone in the firm that Attorney Nan and Attorney Song are together," Zhou Yuanming said with a laugh, wanting to see the man's reaction.
Nan Xia immediately looked nervously at Shen Yan, afraid he would say something inappropriate—
Shen Yan couldn't help but glance at her, realizing why she had hit Lin Yi so hard earlier—she hadn't exposed her past with Song Yanzhi.
"How could the two of them be together? I met Nan Xia as soon as I returned to China, and I've been pursuing her ever since. If they were in a relationship, would I still be pursuing her?"
Nanxia breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his words and gave him a grateful look.
Zhou Yuanming smiled and nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. He didn't care whose girlfriend this woman was; if he couldn't get evidence on camera, he would have to fabricate it!
-
In another restaurant.
Song Yanzhi was having lunch with his best friend. He had originally planned to eat with Nan Xia at noon, but now he couldn't openly eat alone with her.
"The three of you had quite a show this morning!" Jiang Yubai exclaimed with a smile as he casually picked up some food.
Song Yanzhi glanced at him, said nothing, picked up the wine glass and took a small sip.
"That Lin Yi really opened my eyes. She's really brave, she sold you out! Isn't that a slap in the face?" he asked his best friend with a smile.
"She's been putting on such a good act for the past two years." Song Yanzhi was also surprised. For the past two years, she had always presented herself as obedient, compliant, and loyal. He was astonished today as well.
"You regret taking action against Nanxia because of her, don't you?" Jiang Yubai asked with a smile, deliberately bringing up a sore spot.
"Can't you just stop talking about this? Can't we eat in peace?" His face darkened, and he was filled with regret.
-
Before leaving get off work in the afternoon, Song Yanzhi left the law firm first, and Nan Xia left later. She only saw the man sitting on her sofa after she got home.
Why are you here?
"Let's discuss the next steps," he said.
Nan Xia couldn't help but laugh, and deliberately mocked him, "Attorney Song should talk to your assistant instead of coming to my house to discuss something. Go and tell her to behave and stop going against you."
Song Yanzhi frowned. "Could you please stop being sarcastic?"
“Your assistant definitely won’t be sarcastic or sarcastic towards you.” She raised an eyebrow and said, then went to pour herself a cup of instant coffee, took it to the sofa, sat down, and took a sip.
He took Lin Yi's USB drive out of his pocket and said to her in a deep voice:
“If I give this to Zhou Yuanming, do you think he will still trust you? He has always wanted to take over the law firm and will not tolerate anyone else.”
Nan Xia glanced at him, her expression turning serious. She took another sip of coffee, her eyes deep and thoughtful. It really was time to deal with Zhou Yuanming.
"I do have a way to teach him and Lin Yi a lesson, but I don't know if you'll feel sorry for your precious assistant?"
"Why should I feel sorry for her? Stop talking nonsense and tell me, what's the plan?" Song Yanzhi was secretly annoyed. He wanted to beat her to death right now, so why should he feel sorry for her?
“Since Zhou Yuanming and Lin Yi claim we’re a couple and want to find evidence against us, why don’t we arrange for them to have sex?” Nan Xia said to him with a mischievous grin.
