Chapter 7 The Wedding Room
Wenxi knew that Lehui was a chatterbox, and if they kept talking, she wouldn't be able to go to work in the morning. So she asked back, "Why are you in such a bad mood so early in the morning? Who upset you?"
Le Hui glanced at the area behind Wen Xi, "Isn't that internet celebrity again?"
“I’m an administrator, not her personal errand girl.”
Wenxi glanced down at the document, "The printed documents are alright..."
“If only it were just printing documents.” Le Hui got angry as soon as she mentioned it. “She said first thing this morning that her office wasn’t clean and it was affecting her mood for the live stream, so she asked me to clean her office again.”
"After finally calming down and cleaning up for her, she still nitpicked at me. After nitpicking, she gave me a document of more than 500 pages and asked me to print three copies."
Le Hui chuckled: "It just so happens that one of the printers is broken, so I'll just squat here and print it for her this morning."
The internet celebrity that Le Hui mentioned is an elderly lawyer surnamed Jiang from the law firm.
He used to be a practicing lawyer, but then he followed the trend and started doing live streaming. Suddenly he became quite popular, and as his income increased, he got a little arrogant.
Those in the entire law firm who were less experienced and less profitable than her became her subordinates.
Wenxi has a solid background and excellent qualifications, but she doesn't have much interaction with her.
Wenxi patted Lehui on the shoulder: "I'll talk to Director Huang about this when I have time."
Le Hui looked at her with a pleading expression, "You are my god!"
Wenxi, holding her coffee, leisurely walked into her office.
Just as she sat down, her intern, Bai Wei, walked in carrying a stack of documents.
Wenxi: "What kind of information is this?"
Bai Wei chuckled to herself: "Wen Lu, Huang Yaoshi asked me to give this to you."
Wenxi: "...He just can't stand to see me idle?"
"Huang Laoxie said that you have too little litigation experience, so he'll give you more cases to practice on." Bai Wei: "I secretly glanced at them, and the quality of the cases is not bad. No wonder you are Huang Laoxie's eldest disciple."
Wen Xi twitched the corner of her mouth.
The cases her teacher assigned were of good quality, which usually meant they were difficult and required a lot of effort.
Her teacher is the type who can't stand seeing her idle.
Wenxi couldn't refuse, after all, it was all about money and her revenue.
There are many people in the industry who complain about Huang Yaoshi's strange temper, but there are even more who want to be his apprentice.
After all, he not only personally mentors people, but he also genuinely provides case leads!
Seeing that Bai Wei had put down the documents and was unwilling to leave, Wen Xi looked up at her and asked, "Is something the matter?"
Bai Wei sidled up to sit opposite her. "Wen Lu, did Yan Zhao and Lu Jinghuai go back to the Yan family yesterday?"
Wenxi: "...Why are you asking this?"
Bai Wei and Lu Jinghuai's younger sister, Lu Zhi, are best friends.
When Bai Wei graduated with her master's degree, the Bai family asked the Lu family to internate under Wen Xi.
Wenxi assessed her overall qualities and thought they were acceptable before deciding to mentor her.
"I'm just concerned about you!" Bai Wei: "Don't you want to know why?"
"In no mood."
Bai Wei stomped her foot angrily: "Lu Zhi specifically told me to make sure I told you."
"I don't care, I'm going to say it!"
Wenxi: "..."
Bai Wei: "It's about the wedding house!"
Wedding room?
Wenxi then thought of the wedding room that the merchants had prepared for Shang Chen and Yan Zhao.
Similarly, the Lu family prepared a wedding house for her and Lu Jinghuai.
Bai Wei: "After Yan Zhao and Lu Jinghuai got married, they still lived in the same wedding house that was originally prepared for you."
"The day before yesterday, Yan Zhao and Lu Jinghuai went back to the Lu family for dinner. Someone mentioned the wedding room, and Yan Zhao immediately burst into tears."
Wenxi was somewhat surprised: "Why would you stay in that room?"
The Lu family isn't short of money. With the merchants' attitude already set, they should just proceed as planned. There's no need to make things so ugly.
Bai Wei: "She chose it herself!"
"Before the marriage, the Lu family asked her whether she wanted to buy a new house or live in the old house. She chose to live in the old house herself. Now she's crying, as if the Lu family is deliberately trying to make her look bad."
After Wenxi decided to marry Shang Chen, she stopped paying attention to the Lu family and Yan Zhao's affairs and was unaware of this incident.
Wenxi: "No wonder she went back to the Yan family yesterday."
It is estimated that Yan Zhao suffered some injustice at the Lu family, and only then did she suddenly run to the Yan family to complain the next day.
Who knew that it would coincide with Wenxi's third wedding anniversary, and Shang Chen would give her another lecture.
Bai Wei felt indignant on Wen Xi's behalf: "On the day you returned to your parents' home after three days, she brought Lu Jinghuai to the Yan family's door. Those who knew her would say it was an impulsive act, but those who didn't would think she was deliberately trying to disgust you."
"What's even more outrageous is that Lu Zhi said that after they returned from the Yan family last night, that young lady was unhappy again and threw a tantrum at Lu Jinghuai, saying that she wanted to separate."
Wenxi knew that Yan Huai'an and his wife had spoiled Yan Zhao a bit, but she didn't expect her to have such a temper.
"You seem to know a lot?"
“Lu Zhi felt sorry for her brother and told me everything.” Bai Wei spoke up for her best friend: “She was the one who wanted to get married in the first place, and she said she didn’t mind the wedding house. Now she’s making a fuss.”
"The Lu family was already unhappy with her because she stole your marriage, and now she's causing this trouble. I don't know how they're going to live in the future."
Wenxi: "She values Lu Jinghuai too much."
If you value someone you like too much, you're prone to being sensitive and calculating, and you'll magnify even the smallest grievances a thousandfold.
Wenxi never felt wronged about marrying Shang Chen, simply because she understood the nature and purpose of their marriage.
Therefore, she never asked a single question about Shang Chen and Yan Zhao's past.
Bai Wei disagreed: "I think she takes herself too seriously and thinks everyone should accommodate her."
Wenxi disliked gossiping behind people's backs, so she calmly looked at Bai Wei and asked, "How's that case from yesterday?"
Bai Wei's expression changed. "I...I need to look for more information."
Wenxi: "I need to see your thought process by this afternoon, and then write me a report."
Bai Wei's face instantly turned sour, and she said dejectedly, "I'll go downstairs and print some documents with Le Hui. Maybe that will give me some ideas."
Wenxi took a sip of her coffee and said, "You guys better take it easy. The law firm has a total of three printers, and one is already broken. If another one breaks, you'll be sitting here all day."
Zhongda is not a large law firm; it follows a small but elite approach, and the partners are very frugal when it comes to daily expenses.
The three printers keep breaking down, and it's impossible to add another one.
Wenxi reviewed all the cases given to her by Director Huang that morning and had a general idea of what to do with them.
She glanced at her watch; it was already 11:30.
get off work!
Wenxi had just left the office when she ran into her teacher, Huang Laoxie, returning to the law firm.
Wenxi honestly called out, "Director."
Director Huang's gaze swept over the bag in Wen Xi's hand. "So free?"
Wenxi: "...No."
She was busy all morning and didn't see it, but as soon as she tried to leave early, she was spotted.
Director Huang: Oh, I thought you were about to leave work.
Wenxi: "It's time to get off work. I'm going to my mother-in-law's house for dinner."
After so many years as master and apprentice, Wenxi knew her teacher's temperament well; he never minced words.
If she were to make up even the slightest excuse, Director Huang would be able to see through her and make her go discuss the case right now.
Director Huang: "Remember to come to my office this afternoon. I have a case I want to discuss with you."
"good……"
As expected, they couldn't escape.
