Chen Yishu came directly from school to the Chen Group; everyone in the lobby recognized him as the young master of the Chen family and the future sole heir, so the lobby manager greeted him eagerly and respectfully called out, "Young Master."
"Is Lawyer Lin here?" Chen Yishu asked bluntly.
The lobby manager hurriedly replied, "Please wait a moment, Young Master. I’ll make a call to check."
"Hmm." Chen Yishu stood in place waiting, wanting to go upstairs to find someone, but he was afraid that the person might not be there, wasting his time unnecessarily. This matter was of great importance, and he had to discuss it face to face with Lawyer Lin.
The lobby manager quickly returned, running over with a regretful shake of his head, "Lawyer Lin just went out, seems he left with President Chen."
"My dad?" Chen Yishu thought it was a good timing, so he walked over to a corner sofa to call Chen Jiehui. There was a large vase beside the sofa, almost as tall as him.
The call connected quickly, and after calling him Dad, he said, "I want to speak with Lawyer Lin."
Chen Jiehui’s tone was unfriendly, "Lawyer Lin is busy. He doesn’t have time to listen to your nonsense."
"Dad, I haven’t even said what it’s about, and you’ve already assumed it’s nonsense? I’m about to graduate from college; I’m not a kid anymore. I know what I’m doing. Please let him talk."
"Is it for that Gu Qili?" Chen Jiehui snorted coldly, "Don’t think I don’t know what you want Lawyer Lin for. He is our Chen Group’s legal counselor, representing our interests. You think he’ll help your close female friend fight a lawsuit? Stop dreaming. I don’t want to offend the Guan Family over such a woman; she’s not worth it for you. I think you’ve been bewitched, had your soul sucked, been poisoned by her." This content belongs to ⓝovelFire.net
"She’s not that kind of girl; you don’t understand her at all," Chen Yishu pleaded urgently, "Dad, just consider it helping me this once. Lawyer Lin is very good at handling these sorts of cases. If he steps in, there definitely won’t be a problem."
"I said no, and it’s no. I won’t risk it for a woman with a questionable reputation. Also, I advise you to keep your distance, don’t let outsiders say that Chen Jiehui’s son likes to chase after others’ leftovers."
"Dad..." Chen Yishu was irritated, "I won’t allow you to talk about Qili like that."
"Are you still at the company? Hurry up and come home. Also, I’ve already spoken to your uncle; he won’t help you either. You might as well give up."
"Dad, please, just this once..." Chen Yishu’s plea was cut off as Chen Jiehui had already hung up the phone. Listening to the beep of the disconnected line, he angrily punched the vase beside him, which wobbled and nearly toppled over, but fortunately, the lobby manager was quick and caught it.
"Young Master, what’s wrong, why such a temper?"
Chen Yishu did not say a word, didn’t even look at him, and directly left the company.
The reason why Chen Jiehui got the news so quickly must be because someone informed on him, and the only person he had revealed his plans to was Hu Jiaojiao. Unexpectedly, Hu Jiaojiao remained unchanged, pretending to have repented one second in front of him, and the next second backstabbing him by calling Chen Jiehui.
He really shouldn’t have trusted her so easily again.
Indeed, the saying ’a woman’s heart is the most poisonous’ holds true, she plans to completely cut off Gu Qili’s past supports. It’s a pity that the Gu Family treated her like their own daughter back then, she enjoyed all the luxury and riches. Even a dog receiving someone’s kindness would remain loyal, but her actions are worse than those of a beast.
Chen Yishu hated her even more than he hated himself, but hate was useless. The only viable strategy now was to find a way to help Qili. Aside from Chen Jiehui, he didn’t know who else he could turn to.
