"As an internationally renowned lawyer, if you can’t handle even this little thing, your lawyer’s license is definitely for nothing!" Lu Jingchen didn’t respond to him; with slightly parted lips, he looked through the smoke at him with a calm expression, his attitude already very clear, which was that there was no room for negotiation!
Although Gu Xicheng was inwardly upset, Lu Jingchen’s words left him with no room to complain, so he had to silently accept it as agreent!
If he said he couldn’t do it, wouldn’t that be directly smashing his own signboard?
...
Song Qiao left the restaurant and went straight back to her rented place, her heart clogged up from Mrs. Gu’s words and unable to find an outlet to vent!
"Qiaoqiao, you’re back? What was it that Gu Linyuan wanted you to go out for?"
Song Qiao, holding her keys, opened the door to find Ning Wan nibbling on chips and watching Korean dramas in the living room; she imdiately ca over to ask!
Seeing her good friend Ning Wan, Song Qiao’s initially tense emotions instantly relaxed, but her face was still not looking great, and in a downcast voice, she said, "It wasn’t Gu Linyuan who was looking for , but Gu Linyuan’s mother..."
Upon hearing Song Qiao’s words, Ning Wan’s eyes instantly widened, and in the next second, she blurted out an expletive: "Damn, are you serious, that old witch was looking for you? Did she do anything to you?"
Song Qiao put her bag down, changed shoes, and walked to the living room couch; Ning Wan, seeing Song Qiao’s complexion, imdiately sensed sothing had happened and hurriedly went to pour her a glass of water: "What exactly happened? Do tell , did that old witch bully you?"
"It’s nothing, don’t worry about , I’m not so easily bullied, am I?" Song Qiao took a sip from the glass Ning Wan handed her, then, cup in hand, she gazed down at the carpet and took a mont before continuing, "Actually, Gu Linyuan’s mother told to stay away from Gu Linyuan, and she also revealed to that Gu Linyuan and Yun Family’s Miss Yun Wei have had an engagent for a while..."
"What?" Ning Wan didn’t wait for Song Qiao to finish before she exploded: she could imagine Gu Linyuan’s mother using other thods to force Song Qiao away from Gu Linyuan, but she didn’t expect that Gu Linyuan would actually have an engagent with another woman!
Ning Wan was always sharp-sighted; from her first eting with Gu Linyuan’s mother, she knew that the old witch was not soone to be trifled with. She had previously warned Song Qiao to be careful of his mother when she was with Gu Linyuan. Although Song Qiao was attentive to detail, she had downplayed the warnings due to her relationship with Gu Linyuan, claiming it wouldn’t amount to much.
Song Qiao placed the glass on the coffee table, casually grabbed a cushion to hold in her arms, and went on, "His mother also told that in a month, Gu Linyuan and Yun Wei will have their engagent ceremony..." At this point, she looked up at Ning Wan, "Do you think I should attend when the ti cos?"
"That’s not the point, okay?" Ning Wan retorted with frustration, almost wanting to grab a hamr to crack open her skull to see what was inside, nearly grinding her teeth: "After the old witch said that, did you go and confront Gu Linyuan about it?"
Song Qiao didn’t respond, her gaze shifting downward to the carpet.
Ning Wan knew that this would be Song Qiao’s reaction; she looked at her with disappointnt: "Don’t tell that you really plan not to confront Gu Linyuan and just keep silent; or are you planning to wait until they actually have their engagent ceremony before you believe it’s all true?"
