In summer, heavy rains pour down.
The glass windows on the upper floors of the law firm were washed away into a chaotic gray.
The electronic clock on the wall read 10:00 and made a crisp ticking sound.
Yan Jili raised his head from behind his desk and looked at the middle-aged man sobbing on the sofa opposite him, his thin lips pursed into a sharp straight line.
"Mr. Shen, your time is up."
He stood up, like a lone pine standing in the snow.
The black suit outlines his slender waist, his tall and straight body is majestic, and his Adam's apple is faintly visible between the dark patterned tie.
Extreme restraint and coldness.
Even the cold white fingertips lightly resting on the table exude a powerful and oppressive aura.
Shen Yian cried even louder.
"Yan Jili, I'm your father's friend after all. Can't you even give me a little time?"
Yan Ji stood in front of him and lowered his eyes slightly.
He has deep eye sockets.
Her pupils were pitch black, with a cold grey glass texture, and the tails of her eyes were upturned without a hint of softness. When she looked at people, it was as if she was covered with a layer of frosted glass, isolating herself from all warmth.
His eyebrows were sharp and even the corners of his lips were slightly turned down.
He just looked at him.
Shen Yian shuddered inexplicably.
"Our law firm doesn't engage in charity." Yan Jili glanced at the pile of documents in front of Shen Yian.
Thin lips slightly lifted.
Every word he uttered was precise and cold.
"Three months ago, your illegal merger and acquisition led to a broken capital chain. Four days ago, all shareholders withdrew their investment. Yesterday, the court accepted the bankruptcy liquidation order for the Shen Group."
"It's too late for you to come to me now."
Shen Yian stood up tremblingly, "If you look for someone else, it will definitely be too late, but you are Yan Jili!"
"You've fought a lawsuit and never lost!"
"As long as you help me this time, I'm willing to pay you whatever the reward is!"
"Besides, our two families had a childhood marriage arrangement. You and my daughter..."
"Mr. Shen." Yan Jili suddenly raised his hand.
The fingers with distinct joints were suspended in the air. When Shen Yian met his gaze, he felt as if he had been scratched by an ice-hardened scalpel. He immediately fell silent with fear.
He absolutely didn't want to.
One day, I will be scared like this by a junior.
"Do you want to go out by yourself, or do you want me to find someone to take you out?" Yan Jili asked.
Polite words.
It was full of threats and coldness.
He rang the secretary's bell.
Shen Yian followed the male secretary out dejectedly.
He turned the corner of the corridor, then frowned and answered the phone.
"Wife, wuwuwuwuwu... Yan Jili is a stinking rock! He just won't give in. It's... I've been kicked out again..."
"Our family is completely finished this time..."
"What should we do with our daughter? Wuwuwu... We can let it go, but she can't suffer with us..."
"Waste, waste!" Shang Qijing cursed on the other end of the phone, "I knew you were useless and had to rely on me for help."
"Just wait!"
"Even if Yan Jili doesn't want to save our family, he has to!"
She looked at Chen Zhiyi, who was chatting and laughing with Grandma Yan not far away, and snorted, "Our precious daughter, he got such a good deal!"
“Thirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west side of the river.”
"One day or another, Yan Jili will have to kneel down and offer tea to both of us!"
Shen Yian was stunned.
Yan Jili knelt down... offered him tea, and called him "Dad"?!
He imagined the scene.
While feeling terrified, he couldn't help but smile.
"Wife, I still have to rely on you..."
As soon as he hung up the phone, Yan Jili's cell phone rang.
"Hello, Grandma?" He glanced at his watch indifferently. "I have a meeting this afternoon, so I won't be back for dinner."
"Yes, yes, yes, all you do all day is hold meetings!" Grandma Yan said angrily, "If you don't come back to see me tomorrow, I'll find a cemetery and lie down in it!"
"Anyway, my old bones are useless, and my words carry no weight. I'd better die sooner rather than later, so as not to cause you trouble and delay your meeting!"
"Grandma, what are you talking about?" Yan Jili pinched his eyebrows.
