This meal took a full four hours to eat.
It wasn't until 10 p.m. that Wu Yanping's driver took Wang Qian back to Beifeng Street.
Perhaps to avoid suspicion, neither Wu Yanping nor Zhong Yiyi came along.
As for Wang Qian, he had already drunk quite a bit.
Although he wasn't completely drunk, he was still walking unsteadily.
Why did you drink so much today?
Seeing Wang Qian enter the store, Lin Xiaoyu hurriedly went to greet him and helped him walk inside.
However, she then glanced back at the outside of the shop.
There was a white sedan there, turning around and leaving.
Her movements froze, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
She had seen that car before.
A few days ago, when they held a full-month celebration for their son Wang Niangui, this car drove up to her door.
In an instant, she understood many things.
The light deep in her eyes dimmed from that moment on.
but,
She remained silent and did not make a scene. She carefully helped Wang Qian to the bedroom behind the shop to rest.
In addition to the front storefront, their shop also has two rooms in the back.
One room serves as the kitchen, and the other as the bedroom.
Wang Qian usually spends the night at his rural home, but if he has an emergency and needs to stay in the county town, he will stay here.
As for Lin Chao and Yang Shenglong, they had already rented a house nearby with several bedrooms.
Yang Shenglong's room;
Lin Chao Yijian;
Zhou Yuanyuan's room.
That night, Lin Xiaoyu couldn't sleep.
But Wang Qian had no idea about any of this.
Lin Xiaoyu had just helped him onto the bed when he fell asleep immediately and slept soundly until dawn.
...
the next day.
"Qian, wake up!"
Wang Qian was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up.
Opening my eyes, I was greeted by Lin Xiaoyu's alluring face.
"Did I drink too much yesterday?"
Recalling what happened yesterday, Wang Qian gave an awkward smile.
Although he drank too much yesterday, he didn't black out; all his memories are still intact.
He remembered that after Wu Yanping had the driver drop him off at the store entrance, Lin Xiaoyu helped him inside.
But then, he forgot all about that and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
At this moment, Lin Xiaoyu's face was filled with a solemn expression.
Deep within his eyes, there seemed to be a hint of resentment.
Someone is looking for you!
Lin Xiaoyu urged, "Get up and take a look quickly!"
"who?"
Wang Qian asked instinctively.
"I don't know either, but those people specifically mentioned that they were looking for you!"
"Okay, I'll get up right away!"
Wang Qian didn't delay. He immediately got up, quickly washed up, and headed out the door.
Five people were standing outside the door.
They were all dressed in suits and ties, looking very stylish.
"Are you Mr. Wang Qian?"
One of them asked politely.
"I am... and who are you...?"
"Can we go inside and talk?"
The man pointed to the shop behind Wang Qian.
Wang Qian hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, please come in!"
He had never met these people before, but he could roughly guess their identities and intentions.
Sure enough, upon entering the store, one of them immediately identified himself, "Hello Mr. Wang, my name is Yin Zheng, and I am the Liu family's legal counsel!"
"The Liu family?"
Wang Qian raised an eyebrow. "I wonder what brings you here today?"
"You sued the Liu family for infringement, right?" Yin Zheng asked bluntly.
"good!"
Wang Qian did not deny it.
Name your price!
Yin Zheng was quite direct: "Miss Liu said she doesn't want to make a big deal out of this, so she sent us to talk to you, Mr. Wang!"
"Oh? So, Miss Liu, how would you like to discuss this?"
I had long guessed that these people were sent by the Liu family, but I didn't expect them to come so directly.
The Liu family is very wealthy and reportedly employs a group of professional lawyers.
As the Liu family's legal advisor, Yin Zheng should theoretically possess the ability to distort the truth and defend the family.
But at this moment, the other party came to my door and offered to settle the matter privately.
It's easy to see that he's got the upper hand in this lawsuit against the Liu family.
"Mr. Wang, please name your price!"
Yin Zheng said expressionlessly, "As long as it's not too outrageous, money isn't a problem. Then Mr. Wang will withdraw the lawsuit, and everyone will be happy. What do you say?"
"I'm sorry, I have no intention of withdrawing!"
Wang Qian shook his head. "Take care, everyone. I won't see you off!"
After he finished speaking, he stood up and made a "please" gesture.
"Mr. Wang, we're all just trying to make a living, why go to such extremes?"
Yin Zheng said unhurriedly, "As you know, the Liu family's position in Nanming County is unshakeable. You've prepared very well this time, and it's indeed difficult for the Liu family to win the case, but..."
He then changed the subject, saying, "If Mr. Wang insists on going his own way and fights to the bitter end, the Liu family is not without the ability to oblige."
"But this would only waste everyone's time and money, and in the end, both sides would suffer."
Before Wang Qian could answer, Yin Zheng held up five fingers. "Fifty thousand. Let's just call it even. What do you think, Mr. Wang?"
"Please come in, everyone!"
Wang Qian didn't even bother to answer, and simply made a "please" gesture again.
"Is there really no room for negotiation at all?" Yin Zheng frowned.
"Please!" Wang Qian insisted.
"Hehe, it seems Mr. Wang is truly confident!"
Yin Zheng wasn't angry. He calmly said, "Since you insist on filing a lawsuit, I won't force you. However, I have a piece of advice for Mr. Wang."
