Ye Xinning looked towards the source of the sound. The speaker had exquisite makeup, and her brows and eyes were full of impatience. Long hair was draped down her back, and she wore a light purple halter dress. She seemed to have some beauty. After sorting through the information, Ye Xinning knew who this person was.
Isn't this the actress that Ms. Tong demanded an apology from?
She seems a little different from the gentle and lovely persona that was rumored to be.
Ye Xinning looked at the person who came in, but didn't say anything. She just looked away and looked at Lawyer Fan.
"Attorney Fan, is it... that you're bringing your client along for the discussion?"
Attorney Fan smiled and said somewhat apologetically, "I'm sorry, perhaps I didn't convey things clearly beforehand, but Ms. Yang wants to meet with your client."
Ye Xinning found it amusing. "If I remember correctly, Attorney Fan never mentioned to me that he was going to meet with my client."
The opposing lawyer looked somewhat troubled, and at that moment, Ms. Yang spoke up again.
“I want to see Tong Shier. Tell her I’m waiting for her here.”
“Ms. Yang, I’m sorry, I have no obligation to pass on your message. Besides, I originally thought it would be a meeting between the two of us lawyers, but it seems that’s not the case now. In that case, I’ll be leaving now. Attorney Fan, let’s reschedule for another time.”
After saying this, Ye Xinning turned to leave.
But before she could make a move, a cold voice came from behind her.
"No need to notify me, I'm here."
Ye Xinning turned around at the sound and saw Tong Shier standing at the door with her arms crossed and a cold expression on her face.
Ye Xinning did not expect Tong Shier to appear here.
She paused for a moment before speaking, "Miss Tong."
Tong Shier walked towards her and nodded, "It's okay, I'll take care of it."
After saying this, Tong Shi'er sat down and looked at the person over there. "Weren't you the one who kept saying you wanted to see me? What's wrong? I'm sitting right in front of you now, don't you know what to say?"
Yang Zihan bit her lip as she looked at Tong Shier who had appeared.
He walked over and sat down opposite Tong Shier. "Yes, I want to see you. Miss Tong, you really have some skills. You've really made a big deal out of this."
"Make a scene? Heh, you're really ignorant, Yang Zihan."
"Tell me, what do you want for me to drop the lawsuit? You want money, right? Sure, how much do you want? Name your price."
"You're as naive as ever. Do you really think I'm still the same person I used to be? Let me tell you, Yang Zihan, I'm not going to drop the charges. What I want is for you to bow your head and apologize to me in front of the media and everyone else."
"You're dreaming," Yang Zihan said, biting her lip in annoyance and embarrassment.
"Whether it's a dream or not, I think my lawyer can answer that for you."
Yang Zihan looked at Ye Xinning, who pursed her lips and said, "Ms. Yang, it is a fact that your film infringed on copyright, and after the infringement, you also verbally insulted and slandered my client, etc. These are all facts."
"Who do you think you are? Who gave you the right to speak here? Believe me or not, with just one word from me, you little lawyer will be finished."
Ye Xinning frowned. This was probably the most brainless person she had ever encountered since becoming a lawyer.
It's incredibly foolish of them to even say something like that.
“Ms. Yang, I think you may not fully understand the seriousness of this matter. I think you would be better off leaving these things to your lawyer, so as to avoid you saying anything ridiculous here.”
After Ye Xinning said that, Yang Zihan instantly became furious and embarrassed.
She stood up, pointing at Ye Xinning, "What did you say? Are you mocking me?"
"Is that so? I don't think I said anything. As for how to interpret it, that's Miss Yang's business."
Yang Zihan pointed at Ye Xinning, speechless for a long time. She was so angry that she looked at the teacup on the table and threw it at Ye Xinning without thinking.
Ye Xinning dodged to the side almost the instant Yang Zihan raised her teacup, but she was still a little too slow.
The tea splashed onto her, instantly scalding her exposed skin.
Seeing this, Tong Shier did not hesitate to lift her teacup and throw it over as well.
But Ye Xinning held him down.
"No, if we throw this teacup away now, we'll lose this hard-won advantage."
Tong Shier calmed down after being comforted by Ye Xinning, but even though she was calm, she still didn't want to let Yang Zihan off the hook. She walked straight towards Yang Zihan and, before Yang Zihan could react, slapped her hard across the face.
"Yang Zihan, let me tell you, this time, I will not compromise no matter what. Just you wait."
Yang Zihan was slapped and was about to retaliate when Tong Shier gripped her hand tightly. "You'd better think it through and know your own limitations."
While they were making a big fuss, Ye Xinning looked at her arm, which was starting to blister, and said, "I'll go take care of it first."
She spoke and walked towards the restroom.
The conversation ended unhappily, but Ye Xinning gained a clearer understanding of Yang Zihan's unreasonable behavior and also understood why Tong Shier wanted Yang Zihan to apologize. The reason behind this was actually quite obvious.
...
Later, Ye Xinning received a call from Shen Lin.
Ask her where she is.
Ye Xinning sat by the roadside, tending to the burn on her hand from the tea.
"I just parted ways with the opposing lawyer and others, and I'm heading back now."
"Mo Jing told Mu Mu that he wanted to have lunch with you. Shall we come pick you up?"
Since it was the request of the two children, Ye Xinning couldn't refuse.
"Um."
Ye Xinning waited for a short while before seeing Shen Lin arrive in his car with two children.
Having not seen each other for a morning, the two children chatted with Ye Xinning, one after the other.
Ye Xinning was in some pain from the burns on her hands, so she answered somewhat carelessly.
This happened several times, and even Shen Lin noticed that something was wrong with her.
The restaurant was chosen by Shen Lin; it was quiet and spacious, with enough room for the two children to play.
After getting off the bus, Aunt Xi took the two children inside, while Shen Lin deliberately walked next to Ye Xinning.
"Something on your mind?"
The unexpected question caught Ye Xinning off guard, leaving her momentarily speechless. "Huh?"
Seeing her unusual behavior, Shen Lin guessed, "Did your talk with the opposing lawyer go badly?"
Ye Xinning thought for a moment, "It's alright, it's just that the person involved is a bit difficult to deal with."
"Do you need any help?"
"Need not."
Ye Xinning said a few words simply. Although it was unavoidable for the two children to come into contact with Shen Lin, she felt that a sense of propriety was a good thing.
Seeing that she quickened her pace, Shen Lin didn't ask any further questions.
