Across the street, watching Ye Xinning's car drive away, Chi Zhao smiled. His divine intervention was too difficult.
I dialed the phone number of Chen Ting.
"Brother Chi Zhao."
"Are you at a bar? I'll come over and sit with you for a while to kill some time."
...
On the way back to the Shen Group, Ye Xinning drove attentively and didn't say a word the whole time.
Shen Lin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also started talking on the phone as soon as he got in the car, and it didn't end until they were almost at the Shen Group.
At the traffic light intersection, Ye Xinning stopped his car and waited quietly.
Shen Lin also ended the call. "Aunt Xi's birthday is coming soon. I didn't find a gift last time, so I asked Wenzhu to prepare one. Don't let it slip."
When this was mentioned, Ye Xinning nodded. Aunt Xi was really good to her. She was wondering if she should go and pick out another gift herself.
"Dad has arranged a family dinner for Aunt Xi's birthday tomorrow night. You should go back early then."
"Okay, I understand."
Shen Lin was somewhat displeased to see her so indifferent reaction.
She was so enthusiastic when she was having dinner with Mo Zichen, why is she so cold now?
Is her enthusiasm only reserved for others?
Shen Lin was in a bad mood and didn't speak for the rest of the time.
Ye Xinning parked the car steadily in front of the Shen Group building, turned to look at him, and said, "We've arrived."
Shen Lin unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car, slamming the door shut with a deafening roar.
Ye Xinning, "..."
What did she do to offend him this time?
baffling.
Ignoring Shen Lin, Ye Xinning started the car and drove towards the law firm.
Upon returning to the law firm, they met Xiao Chen, and the two went to his office.
"You're back. How was it? Did you enjoy your chat with Miss He?"
"It's not good. Ms. He's child has been taken away by her husband, and she can't see her child now."
What are you planning to do?
"I've arranged for Ms. He's husband's lawyer to meet tonight, hoping to achieve a better outcome in the negotiations."
"Okay, I'll leave this to you. Let me know if you need anything."
Ye Xinning nodded.
Xiao Chen walked out, but stopped halfway and turned to look at him.
"I see you're very busy, so I'll find you a helper. They should arrive tomorrow morning. Working together will make things more efficient."
Ye Xinning had no objections.
...
In the evening, Ye Xinning arrived at the coffee shop and saw the person she had arranged to meet from afar.
She walked over, and the person opposite her looked up, their gaze falling on her.
"You've arrived."
Ye Xinning looked at the person opposite her, a flash of surprise crossing her face.
After gathering her thoughts, she sat down and smiled at the person in front of her.
"I didn't expect it to be you."
"I didn't expect that Miss He would actually contact you."
Ye Xinning touched her wrist casually.
The person sitting opposite her was Shu Chaoyu, who used to work at Xiao Chen Law Firm and was also her assistant lawyer.
Six months ago, Shu Chaoyu resigned without giving a specific reason.
At the time, she thought Shu Chaoyu had gone to develop elsewhere, but she didn't expect her to still be in Nancheng, and now they had become rivals.
"How's work going since I left?"
"fine."
"I see you're all alone, haven't you hired an assistant?"
When the topic of assistants came up, Ye Xinning smiled meaningfully as she looked at Shu Chaoyu.
"Did you leave because you felt it was beneath you to be my assistant?"
He was dissatisfied with the law firm's arrangements and unwilling to remain an assistant lawyer under her forever.
Shu Chaoyu crossed her arms, her face adorned with exquisite makeup. Every move she made made her appear much more charming than before, a far cry from the little assistant who used to follow her around busily.
“Attorney Ye is joking. My decision to leave was made after careful consideration, and judging from the current outcome, it is clear that my decision was correct.”
Ye Xinning squinted her eyes and pursed her red lips.
Shu Chaoyu smiled so naturally, "Alright, now that we've caught up, it's time to get down to business."
Ye Xinning wasn't one to dwell on the past, even though she had once truly valued Shu Chaoyu...
Even though she had planned to have Xiao Chen promote Shu Chaoyu separately after that case was over.
But clearly, Shu Chaoyu did not wait, and her actions proved that it was inappropriate.
“My client has made his wishes very clear: he must keep the child with him. As compensation, he will add 10% to Ms. He’s compensation on top of the original amount.” Shu Chaoyu took out the relevant compensation terms and handed them to Ye Xinning.
Ye Xinning crossed her arms, showing no intention of accepting it.
"Your client had an extramarital affair, and accidentally fed his child something that nearly killed the child. That's all. Tell me, what right does he have to get custody of the child?"
Shu Chaoyu smiled, "The reason for the marital infidelity is that my client had absolutely no feelings for Ms. He, and also..."
Shu Chaoyu paused here, giving a meaningful smile, "How can you prove that my client cheated, instead of saying that the couple had no feelings for each other and had been doing their own thing for a long time?"
Ye Xinning stared at Shu Chaoyu with a cold expression.
Shu Chaoyu handed the collected documents to Ye Xinning.
"This contains evidence of Ms. He's long-term intimate relationship with a man. Attorney Ye, you should have a good talk with your client. We have already offered the best terms, and we hope Ms. He will think it through."
After Shu Chaoyu finished speaking, she picked up her things and stood up.
