“I do not have a lawyer and I can’t find one either.” He turned his head away and walked off.
“Mo Jiangye…” Ye Erruo followed after him hurriedly and hugged his arm.
“Give me a lawyer.” She determinedly held onto his arm and refused to let go.
Mo Jiangye glanced at her coldly. “What kind of benefits do I get for finding you a lawyer?”
The corners of Ye Erruo’s lips twitched. “What kind of benefits do you want?”
He curled his finger, indicating that she should lean closer.
Puzzled, Ye Erruo leaned her head closer as Mo Jiangye whispered into her ear.
“Is that okay?”
Ye Erruo raised her brows. “Of course. No problem.”
He wrapped an arm around her waist as they walked to the dining hall.
…
It was three days later when Lin Jingxuan woke up again.
Gu Feirou had been by his bedside for days, watching over him. When she saw him waking up, she was so emotional that she almost burst into tears.
“Brother Jingxuan, you’re awake!”
“Xiao Rou.”
“Brother Jingxuan, you scared me to death. I thought you…” She held his hand in hers and began to cry.
“Princess, please watch your health,” Jing Xinze reminded her.
“If you want my health to be good, then kill Ye Erruo! Gouge her eyes out!” she yelled furiously.
Jing Xinze bit his lips. “We have already sued them, princess.”
Gu Feirou was unsatisfied. “Sued them? Can you win a legal battle against Mo Jiangye?”
Who was Mo Jiangye? Was there even a person in H Nation who did not know him? Who would dare to treat him with disrespect?
“Princess, rest assured. The representative this time is the entire Blue Tower. The queen knows about your grievance and sent over the most prestigious person from the Blue Tower. There isn’t a lawsuit that he can’t win,” Jing Xinze said solemnly.
Gu Feirou sobbed. “What if we don’t win the lawsuit?”
To Mo Jiangye, Jing Xinze was nothing!
“Princess, how can a person who only has intellect in business be on par with people from the Blue Tower like us?”
As he was lying down, Lin Jingxuan’s expression turned ugly. “Go out and quarrel if you must.”
“You have disturbed Brother Jingxuan! Get out!” Gu Feirou scolded Jing Xinze.
Jing Xinze bit his lips, ultimately deciding to head out quietly.
“Brother Jingxuan, you have no idea! While you were unconscious, Mo Jiangye’s men kept me locked up for days! They didn’t give me any food or water!” She complained, looking aggrieved.
“It’s all because of that b*tch, Ye Erruo! Why didn’t she drown to death?”
Lin Jingxuan’s head hurt, and it hurt even more while he heard her rambling away and complaining. “Alright, Xiao Rou, stop talking. Apart from locking you up, did Mo Jiangye do anything else to make things difficult for you?”
“No, he didn’t. I am the Blue Tower princess. He wouldn’t dare touch me. Previously, when he brought you into the manor, a warning letter was sent in to scare him and he immediately released us obediently.”
Lin Jingxuan furrowed his brows. Mo Jiangye was scared of the Blue Tower? He had almost killed Ye Erruo, yet he had let him off that easily?
He reached out and pinched the spot between his brows. He had never thought that Ye Erruo would have the guts to kill someone, especially him! Plus, she had done it with confidence. She had stabbed him with almost no hesitation. What a malicious woman! If he couldn’t get that pair of broken shoes, Mo Jiangye could forget about getting his hands on them too. One day, he would ruin her.
“Cough, cough…” As Lin Jingxuan began to cough, Gu Feirou immediately poured him a cup of water.
“Let’s go home,” he commanded.
“Go home? Brother Jingxuan, your body has yet to recover. It would be dangerous if you moved around.”
“I want to go home!”
Helpless, the doctors at the Lin Family residence spent a huge amount of effort to bring Lin Jingxuan back home.
When they were back at the Lin Family residence, Lin Jingxuan asked for a small, desolate castle. Apart from a few fixed doctors and servants, no one else was allowed to go near him. Even Gu Feirou was not allowed to visit him easily…
