Striving to update more…_2 It wasn’t a holiday.
Ding He was naturally at work.
“Okay, I’ve got it.”
After a few words, the female manager put down the phone and held onto the resignation letter.
“Lawyer Ding wants you to visit his office.”
Fang Qing turned and left.
The female manager frowned, looking down at the resignation report, utterly baffled.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
“Co in.”
Fang Qing pushed the door and entered.
Ding He was not working; he stood with his back turned, looking out the floor-to-ceiling window at the magnificent skyscrapers outside, lost in thought.
“I’ve already submitted my resignation.
I can arrange for soone to take over my cases.”
Ding He fell silent for a while, then turned around.
“How’s your injury?”
He looked at Fang Qing’s forehead.
“Superficial wounds.”
Fang Qing simply stated, with no resentnt or anger, only an undisturbed calm.
Ding He scoffed at himself, his expression complex.
“I know, saying sorry now is pointless.”
He paused.
“I’ll approve your resignation.
What compensation would you like?”
“None needed.”
“Fang Qing, this is my fault.
Although the damage to you has been done and can’t be undone, I still hope you can give a chance to apologize.”
“I have only one request.”
Ding He imdiately said, “Tell .”
“That the firm takes full responsibility for the clients I was handling.”
Ding He was taken aback, seemingly not expecting her to make such a condition, his gaze toward the young woman growing even more complex.
He liked her, no doubt about that, otherwise why would Fang Ai focus specifically on Fang Qing among so many won in the firm.
But this liking wasn’t just superficially based on appearance.
Beyond appearances, what attracted him most was this girl’s soul.
“You can be at ease about that.”
Ding He slowly nodded.
“Tian He has always adhered to that principle in treating clients.
Besides that, do you have any other requests?”
“That the procedures be handled as quickly as possible.”
“Have you found a new place?
If not, I can help introduce you, it would make feel a bit better.”
“Thank you, but that’s not necessary.
I’d rather not cause any misunderstandings with Lady Ding.”
Ding He’s lips tightened.
Fang Qing turned to leave.
Seeing this, Ding He couldn’t hold back and said, “I didn’t an to keep it from you.
You must have noticed, my relationship with her has always been strained.
She wasn’t the one I sent yesterday; she installed a surveillance device in my phone…”
“Lawyer Ding, that’s your family affair, you don’t need to tell .
Also, if possible, you should really have an honest talk with your wife to prevent similar misunderstandings from happening in the future.”
Talk?
If communication could solve problems, why would he be in this situation today?
Ding He looked embarrassed and distress was evident.
Fang Qing lingered no longer, walking to the door to open it.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
A knock sounded.
Then,
the door was pushed open.
Seeing the person who walked in, Fang Qing’s pupils contracted; her face, previously calm, suddenly showed signs of turmoil.
“What are you doing here?”
She lowered her voice, anwhile glaring at Tong Dan behind.
Jiang Chen, ignoring everything, walked into the office.
“I already told you…”
Well-prepared, Tong Dan quickly reassured, “Don’t worry, Jiang Chen won’t act rashly.”
“Lawyer Ding, we et again.
I wonder if you rember .”
As a lawyer, of course he had an exceptional mory, especially for soone who had left a deep impression.
Ding He rembered, indeed, initially going to Fang Qing’s ho to find a man answering the door.
“Mr.
Jiang, long ti no see.”
Jiang Chen smiled faintly, “It seems Lawyer Ding still rembers .”
Although aware that Fang Qing was single, Ding He understood her relationship with this young man was beyond ordinary friendship.
The reason for his visit today was obvious.
“Mr.
Jiang, about last night, I am sorry.
Due to my personal family issues, I involved…”
Jiang Chen directly interrupted him.
“Don’t get wrong, I’m not here to demand an apology from Attorney Ding.
Moreover, an apology would be aningless.”
Ding He’s tone halted, sensing the sharpness swirling beneath the other’s composed exterior.
“I said, I don’t need you to intervene.”
Fang Qing stepped forward, holding his arm.
Jiang Chen ignored her.
“Mr.
Jiang, I can understand how you feel.
No one wants to see such things happen.
But since it has happened and Fang Qing has already been hurt, it’s my responsibility, and I definitely will not shirk it.”
Ding He said, “I will compensate Fang Qing with a satisfactory amount.”
Hearing this, Tong Dan, who had been reminding herself to stay restrained and calm, felt her chest heaving with intense fury, nearly losing her temper and cursing out loud.
Money?
Did they think we ca here just for money?!
“Attorney Ding, I’ve already said I don’t need any compensation.”
Fang Qing looked at Ding He, her voice finally showing a hint of anger.
Money indeed can solve many problems.
But not all problems can be solved with money.
Just as so people think money can pawn everything.
And so believe that dignity is priceless.
“So tell , how much ‘compensation’ do you plan to give?”
Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
“You make an offer.
I’ll do my best to satisfy it.”
Regardless of personal morals, at least at this mont, Ding He seed responsible and sincere in his apology.
“I wonder if you’ve discussed this with your wife, does she agree with what you’re doing?”
Jiang Chen continued.
Ding He’s expression stiffened.
“I don’t need to discuss it with her.”
“So you an, Attorney Ding, your wife doesn’t know?
After hitting soone, does she not even feel a bit of remorse or guilt?”
Ding He’s lips twitched involuntarily, and he suddenly felt like laughing.
Remorse?
Guilt?
Those words probably don’t exist in Fang Ai’s life dictionary.
“Mr.
Jiang, if you’re wanting my wife to apologize, I’m afraid that’s not going to happen.”
“After hitting soone, why shouldn’t she apologize?”
An indignant Tong Dan finally couldn’t hold back, “Is it that hard to apologize?!”
Indeed.
Is it that hard to apologize?
Sotis.
Victims might only need a sincere repentance, not the so-called material compensation.
But often, because so people stand so high, accustod to looking down on others, they refuse to humble themselves.
“Attorney Ding, don’t worry, we won’t demand your wife’s apology, but I hope you can explain clearly to your wife that Fang Qing and you are clear and innocent.”
Ding He furrowed his brows, he had dealt with many major clients, including rich and powerful businessn and high-ranking officials, yet he found the young man’s gaze even more oppressive than those influential figures.
“…I’ve already explained to her.”
“Excuse us.”
Jiang Chen turned his head.
“Is everything settled?”
“Yes.”
“Let’s go.”
Jiang Chen turned around.
“Fang Qing, wait a mont.”
Ding He quickly walked a few steps, ca up close, and at the sa ti, pulled out a bank card from his jacket pocket that might have been prepared earlier.
“Take this.”
Jiang Chen quietly observed, not intervening.
“Just settle the wages I deserve.”
Fang Qing had no intention of accepting.
“This is also what you deserve.”
“The inco from labor is what I deserve.”
Ding He’s face stiffened slightly.
He was a top lawyer, especially skilled in the financial sector, and now he seed to be getting a lesson on the law.
Tong Dan looked at him with disdain, her opinion of Ding He had transford a full one-hundred and eighty degrees.
She quite liked money herself and knew that the digits in that card were likely substantial, but she wholeheartedly supported Fang Qing’s decision.
This seemingly polished lawyer was obviously a parasitic man living off a woman; she would disdain that money no matter how much there was!
“With able hands and feet, having read so many books, isn’t it better to be a decent man?”
Tong Dan didn’t na nas.
Ding He, clutching the bank card, clenched his fist tight, watching the three walk out the door.
