This matter had always been a black spot in his career as a lawyer, and the sight of the visitor, Lu Wanwan, made him feel guilty.
According to the original will, she would have owned most of the shares after turning 20.
Unfortunately, she had a father who was not content.
After Lu Wanwan left, he immediately told his assistant that whenever this miss came looking for him, they should be warm, but always find a plausible reason to say he wasn’t in.
Coming out of the law firm, the result was the expected disappointment.
"How about I treat you to dinner?" Xu Yuan offered, seeing that she hadn’t made any progress for a while and he couldn’t help much.
Xu Yuan chuckled, "You really don’t stand on ceremony with me! Actually... you could just coquette a bit with Gu Annan, but do you not want him to think that you married him for the company’s shares?"
"Partly, I just feel that I shouldn’t depend on him for this," Lu Wanwan spoke leisurely, "I want to rely on myself, but I feel so weak. It was the same in the past, and it’s the same now, watching the Ye Family’s business being taken away without being able to do anything about it. Xu Yuan, if I need Gu Annan’s help even for this, am I not too useless."
Xu Yuan looked at her with a smile, "I don’t see you as the CEO type anyway. What you really want is to be Mrs. Gu. Although Jin’an is in your dad’s hands, as long as he doesn’t give it to Lu Kexin, it won’t end up in someone else’s hands."
The two of them had dinner together, and just as they were getting ready to leave, Lu Wanwan’s phone rang, "It’s Wen Qiao, wait for me."
On the other end of the phone, Wen Qiao spoke softly, "Wanwan, can you help me out? I... I’m currently in the restroom at Cloudtop Hotel. I..."
"Qiaoqiao, take your time and tell me what’s happening."
"I came here to deliver documents to a client, but now they won’t let me leave. I vomited what I just drank, and now I’m pretending to vomit in the restroom."
"What do you mean they won’t let you leave! Does Ji Shaoyang know?"
"He’s not in Manchester, he went on a business trip this morning. Besides, I’d rather not tell him about this minor issue. Wanwan, my phone is almost out of battery. Can you call and get the hotel’s security to come up?"
"Cloudtop Hotel, I’m not far from there. Wait for me, I’ll come right away. Which floor are you on?"
"The 32nd floor, Wanwan, sorry for the trouble."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yuan asked, "What’s going on?"
Lu Wanwan put her phone in her bag, "Nothing serious, just a little matter, I’ll go find her. Didn’t Shao Zhiheng tell you that if you don’t see him by eight you’d regret it? Go on your date, that’s that."
She didn’t go into detail about the situation, as Xu Yuan, the hot-headed one, might start throwing punches as soon as he saw this kind of thing, and who knew what trouble it would lead to.
Wen Qiao was delivering documents to what was undoubtedly a big and reputable company, thinking she was just a small assistant who could be bullied.
Shao Zhiheng’s parents were already dissatisfied with Xu Yuan, and getting into this kind of trouble would only make things more troublesome.
After a brief explanation, she said goodbye to Xu Yuan and went straight to Cloudtop Hotel where she found several security guards and told them her friend had had an incident upstairs.
"It’s a friend who came with us, she drank too much, you need to go help her out," she urged them.
Just reaching the 32nd floor and finding the restroom, she saw two chubby men making such requests to a female attendant.
The attendant nodded, "I’ll go in and check."
"I’ll check as well, my friend seems to be in the restroom too," Lu Wanwan quickly said to the security guards nearby, "Remember now, I’ve already called the police ahead of time, and I have media friends. If anything happens, your hotel will be the first to be in trouble."
