Chapter 565: Barrister as Driver
"Who to send first?"
After Ji Chuan started the car, he asked in a deep voice.
Xu Hui's voice came from the back seat, "Just take us to the south gate of North City University. I live not far from there."
Ji Chuan didn't respond.
This was the first time Zhang Xiaoya and Qiao Rui had dealt with Ji Chuan. They had only heard that he was a partner in a law firm and was very famous in the legal profession. If it weren't for Jiang Yuan's help, ordinary people like them would never have had the honor to let him personally send them back.
Qiao Rui: "Lawyer Ji, thank you for your help."
Zhang Xiaoya: "Lawyers of your qualifications usually charge by the hour. Time is truly money. Thanks to you, I feel like my value has increased as I sit in the car now."
She used a joking tone to try to break the cold and quiet atmosphere in the car.
The impression Ji Chuan leaves on people who don’t know him is that he is serious, cold and distant.
Xu Hui was afraid that Ji Chuan wouldn't respond and worried that Zhang Xiaoya would be embarrassed, so he immediately took over the conversation, "That's right, most people don't get treated this way. Don't be so excited that you two can't sleep later."
Zhang Xiaoya: "What do you mean by the two of us? You're quite calm, Sister Hui. Are you used to riding in luxury cars?"
Zhang Xiaoya spoke without thinking. It would be fine if it was a joke in private, but she shouldn't say such things in front of an outsider.
Seeing Zhang Xiaoya's expression change, Xu Hui replied casually, "Are you kidding me? My sister has been in the underworld for so many years, how could she not have ridden in a few luxury cars?"
She seemed to feel that this was inappropriate, after all, she was sitting in someone else's car, so she added attentively, "However, there are many people who drive luxury cars, but people like Mr. Ji who are both handsome and talented, and have both virtue and ability and extraordinary demeanor are rare."
"That's right, President Ji is indeed excellent!"
Ji Chuan held the steering wheel, his eyes straight ahead, his ears erect but as if blocked, and he remained silent even though the three women in the back seat praised him to the skies.
It's not that he's indifferent, it's just that in this situation, he really doesn't know what to say.
Xu Hui's phone rang. She glanced at the screen, her eyes paused, and immediately pressed the answer button.
A crisp voice came from the other end of the phone, "Sister, what are you doing?"
Xu Hui: "Why do you care about me? You're not going to evening self-study, why are you calling me? What happened?"
"Our class teacher asked us to tell our parents to think carefully about our college choices in advance, so we don't get caught off guard when the college entrance exam results come out."
Xu Yan is in his third year of high school this year and will soon face the college entrance examination.
Xu Hui: "Didn't you say you were going to study medicine when you came home for the New Year?"
Xu Yan: "I've changed my mind. Studying medicine is too slow. It takes seven or eight years to get a master's degree and a doctorate before you can start working and earning money. It's too slow. I want to study law."
"Studying medicine is something my family can use. Why are you studying law? It's impractical. Why are you so anxious to make money? Are you worried that I can't support you?"
Xu Hui tried her best to lower her voice, but the car was so quiet that every word she said sounded particularly clear.
Xu Yan continued from the opposite side, "My little sister is about to start high school, and I'm going to college. You have to support both of us by yourself. We also have parents and grandfather at home. Ever since Dad became paralyzed, the whole family has been relying on you to support them. When will it end? I want to graduate from college as soon as possible so I can come out and help you."
Xu Hui didn't want to lose his temper at this moment, so he tried to hold back. "Don't tell me you're being unreasonable. Haven't you always been interested in biology? You studied science, why would you study law? You don't need to worry about family matters. I can still support you. You have a conscience. It won't be too late to be filial to your sister when you become successful in the future."
