Chapter 63 Shang Chen Comes to Talk
Faced with Wen Xi's threat, Attorney Jiang backed down.
She smiled and jokingly changed the subject, "If Attorney Wen doesn't do non-litigation work, why does he have to come here and compete with us litigators for our livelihood?"
Wenxi: "With the market economy in decline, it's hard to make a living in non-litigation matters, so litigation is the only option."
Attorney Jiang gave a forced smile and said, "Attorney Wen, you're really joking. If you can't make it in the business, then nobody else can."
"Attorney Jiang thinks too highly of me."
Wenxi was in poor health, which is why she filed for litigation, but only her teacher knew about it.
As she watched Attorney Jiang walk away, she suddenly realized what was happening.
Was Attorney Jiang's true feelings just revealed unintentionally?
Does this woman think that by turning to litigation, she's trying to steal her business?
As soon as he stepped out of Wenxi's office, Attorney Jiang tore up the lawyer's letter and threw it into the trash can.
Wenxi's threat was direct and forceful.
Attorney Jiang disliked Wen Xi and was furious, but he didn't dare to take the matter to court.
Her career is booming right now, and if she becomes a defendant in a case against a colleague, it will definitely affect her online popularity.
She could only swallow her anger for the time being.
In the afternoon, Bai Wei excitedly ran to Wen Xi's office, "Attorney Wen, Attorney Jiang deleted the live broadcast recording from that day!"
“There are also people deleting videos on a large scale online now.”
“Attorney Wen, celebrities have been using lawyer's letters to their advantage these days, but I didn’t expect it to work on Attorney Jiang.”
Wen Xi tidied up the documents on the table and glanced at Bai Wei: "Because even if a celebrity sends a lawyer's letter, they might not dare to sue. But if I send one, they'll definitely dare to sue."
"The law is mighty."
Wenxi: "I'm planning to treat Lehui to dinner to thank her for tipping me off. Do you want to come along?"
Bai Wei excitedly raised her hand: "Yes!"
"By the way, do you have Yan Zhao's phone number?"
"No." Bai Wei: "Lu Zhi has one, I'll go ask her for one."
"Need not."
What Wenxi wanted wasn't a phone number, but someone to call Yan Zhao to see if they could get through.
There's no need to specifically ask Lu Zhi for her phone number.
Bai Wei: "Lu Zhi has been saying she wants to have a meal with you, Wen Lu, but she's afraid of bothering you."
Wenxi thought of how Lu Zhi used to pester her all the time, but she hadn't appeared since the two families broke off their engagement. She would only send her a greeting message during holidays.
It's probably because the Lu family is keeping her in check, afraid that if she gets too close to Yan Zhao, it might make Yan Zhao overthink things.
The Lu family has always been sensible in their actions.
Wenxi: "That's perfect. I'll ask her if she's free, and I'll invite her too."
Bai Wei exclaimed excitedly, "I'll call her right now!"
Before leaving the office, Wenxi called Yan Zhao again.
Still no luck.
On the other side, Jingbei Road.
The black Bentley drove up to the villa where Yan Zhao lived.
Assistant Wu said, "President Shang, I called and asked, President Lu is at home now."
Shang Chen nodded slightly.
Assistant Wu added, "By the way, the Yan family recently suspended Yan Xu's credit card and kicked him out of their home. Yan Xu went to live with Yan Zhao and is now staying here as well."
Shang Chen: "That's fine, it saves trouble."
It's a good opportunity for the three of us to chat together.
When the doorbell rang, Yan Zhao thought it was Yan Xu returning, and she quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
She was afraid that Yan Xu would misunderstand if he saw it.
When the aunt opened the door, Yan Zhao saw Shang Chen with a serious and cold expression.
Yan Zhao's expression changed. "Why are you here!"
Yan Zhao then thought of how she had failed to catch Shang Chen in the act of adultery yesterday, and how she had ended up running away in disgrace.
The businessmen have come to our door; they're definitely here to hold us accountable!
Shang Chen remained calm and said in a deep voice, "I have an appointment with President Lu."
Yan Zhao asked warily, "What do you want with my husband?"
Shang Chen said frankly, "Let's talk about how you helped me catch someone cheating."
Yan Zhao's face was pale, and she pleaded, "Brother Shang, I know I was wrong about what happened yesterday. I will find a chance to apologize to Wen Xi. Could you please..."
Before Yan Zhao could finish speaking, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
"Mr. Shang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Lu Jinghuai came downstairs with a cold expression, dressed in casual clothes.
His gaze didn't linger on Yan Zhao for even a moment, but only turned to Shang Chen: "Shall we talk in the study?"
"No need, since you and your husband are both here, you can listen together."
Shang Chen sat down on the sofa with composure, exuding an elegant and refined air, his brows and eyes solemn and composed.
It seemed as if he was the owner of the villa, and Lu Jinghuai and Yan Zhao were guests.
Yan Zhao pleaded, "Brother Shang, can we talk about this alone?"
Shang Chen stared at Yan Zhao with his dark eyes, exuding a strong sense of pressure.
Yan Zhao was so frightened that she couldn't breathe.
After a moment, Shang Chen spoke up: "This is bad."
Lu Jinghuai sat down to the side with a cold expression. "President Shang, please speak frankly."
Shang Chen said succinctly: "Yan Zhao asked to meet me yesterday, wanting to take me to catch them in the act of adultery."
"The parties involved are Wen Xi and Song Hezhou."
Yan Zhao's face turned deathly pale instantly, devoid of any color.
Lu Jinghuai's face also darkened and turned ugly in an instant.
He gave Yan Zhao a cold glance before looking away.
"I'm sorry, I just found out about this."
Shang Chen nodded slightly: "I think you have the right to know."
"Song Hezhou beat you up the day he returned to China. Yan Zhao said it was because of Wen Xi?"
Yan Zhao said he liked Wenxi.
In this sentence, Shang Chen's statement is affirmative.
"Yan Zhao was afraid I wouldn't believe her, so she specially arranged to meet me in the private room where Wen Xi and Song Hezhou were having dinner, hoping to catch Wen Xi cheating on the spot and prove that she wasn't wrong."
Lu Jinghuai: "..."
Lu Jinghuai could not have imagined or done what Yan Zhao did.
He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Yan Zhao wiped away her tears, her face pale, and decided to give up entirely.
Even if they didn't catch them in the act, it's a fact that Song Hezhou likes Wenxi!
She looked at Lu Jinghuai sadly and questioned, "Didn't Song Hezhou hit you because of Wen Xi?"
“I felt bad for you being beaten, and I asked you why, but you wouldn’t tell me.”
Seeing Lu Jinghuai's indifferent expression, Yan Zhao felt increasingly distressed as she spoke.
"Lu Jinghuai, Song Hezhou hit you because he likes Wenxi, but what about you?"
"And why did you fight with him? And why are you hiding the reason for the fight?"
This is what makes Yan Zhao most upset.
The reason why Lu Jinghuai refused to say why Song Hezhou hit him was because he actually had feelings for Wen Xi.
He was afraid that this matter would involve Wenxi and let people know that he liked Wenxi!
Why won't you admit that you still like Wenxi?!
Every time Yan Zhao spoke, a vein would throb on Lu Jinghuai's forehead.
His already indifferent face now turned icy cold.
"Have you said enough?"
When Yan Zhao met Lu Jinghuai's cold eyes, she felt a chill in her heart and a sudden sense of fear arose.
She pursed her lips and stubbornly met Lu Jinghuai's gaze.
Did she say something wrong?!
Lu Jinghuai ignored Yan Zhao and calmly explained to Shang Chen, "This matter was originally between me and Hezhou. I'm sorry that it has affected you two as a couple."
Shang Chen said calmly, "I need a reasonable explanation."
Lu Jinghuai remained silent for a long time before finally speaking with difficulty: "Hezhou has indeed liked Wenxi for a long time, but I only just found out about this myself."
Some things, once they've escalated to this point, can no longer be hidden.
"Two years ago, he was about to confess his feelings to Wenxi when he suddenly heard the news that Wenxi and I were engaged."
“He liked Wenxi, but he didn’t want to ruin the bond we had formed since childhood, so he suddenly went abroad to let Wenxi and me be together.”
But now everyone knows that Wenxi and Lu Jinghuai's engagement was fake.
