"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 agreement!
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 immediately came 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 me, 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, immediately sensed something had happened and hurriedly went to pour her a glass of water: "What exactly happened? Do tell me, did that old witch bully you?"
"It’s nothing, don’t worry about me, 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 moment before continuing, "Actually, Gu Linyuan’s mother told me to stay away from Gu Linyuan, and she also revealed to me that Gu Linyuan and Yun Family’s Miss Yun Wei have had an engagement 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 methods to force Song Qiao away from Gu Linyuan, but she didn’t expect that Gu Linyuan would actually have an engagement with another woman!
Ning Wan was always sharp-sighted; from her first meeting with Gu Linyuan’s mother, she knew that the old witch was not someone 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 me that in a month, Gu Linyuan and Yun Wei will have their engagement ceremony..." At this point, she looked up at Ning Wan, "Do you think I should attend when the time comes?" The source of this content ɪs novelFɪre.net
"That’s not the point, okay?" Ning Wan retorted with frustration, almost wanting to grab a hammer 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 disappointment: "Don’t tell me that you really plan not to confront Gu Linyuan and just keep silent; or are you planning to wait until they actually have their engagement ceremony before you believe it’s all true?"
