| ← Ch.0143 | Ch.0145 → |
Gu Qingyou was not willing to be on the opposing side with Jiang Jun, but to seek her position, regardless of what the opponent wanted to do, she had to invite her to come and fight this case with a Jiang Clan lawyer, but she had to do her best to do so for the Boss Mo.
After familiarizing herself with the case for two days, Gu Qingyou arrived at Ming Ren Group.
She had already arranged to meet with the CEO of Ming Ren Group, Mo Lier, who had entrusted her with this lawsuit, at two o'clock in the morning. Unexpectedly, she had already been waiting for an hour at Mo Lier's office, but Mo Lier still had not appeared.
Gu Qingyou did not like people who were unpunctual. After waiting for another half an hour, Gu Qingyou finally put down the coffee she poured for her and got up from the sofa.
I'm sorry, please tell Mo Lier CEO that I still have things to do today, please ask me out when he has time! Gu Qingyou told Mo Lier's secretary, and picked up Business Packs.
Just as Mo Lier's secretary was about to speak, footsteps came from outside the office.
Then, a young man in a suit with an extraordinary bearing appeared in Gu Qingyou's line of sight.
The moment Gu Qingyou and this person's eyes met, Gu Qingyou felt that this man's eyes were deep and sharp, but the smile on his face was light as wind and clouds. Gu Qingyou had instantly determined that this man was unfathomable.
In all these years, of all the people she had met, she had only met Jiang Jun the one who had a deep and sharp gaze but a faint smile on her face.
Of course, there was no reason why he could not do good and evil. If he did not have a profound scheme, how could he possibly occupy a place in this strange shopping mall.
"I'm really sorry, Lawyer Gu. I temporarily delayed some matters and made you wait for a long time." The man waved his secretary away and apologized courteously as he approached.
It was only then that Gu Qingyou noticed that the man had a pure Asian face. It was impossible to tell that he was a mixed blood, but according to the information, Mo Lier's CEO was a pure Englishman.
"You are??"
"I don't have a business card, but I can introduce myself to Lawyer Gu." The man gently said, "My surname is Dan, and my name is Yan."
When Gu Qingyou heard the man's introduction, she could tell from the man's fluent Chinese accent that the person in front of him was not Mo Lier. But after she searched for the name "Dan Yan" in her mind, Gu Qingyou raised her head, revealing a slightly startled look.
Although this case was a confrontation between Ming Ren Group and Jiang??s Group, but because it involved Sun Group, Gu Qingyou came to understand Sun Group in passing.
"Lawyer Gu seems to be doing a good job." Dan Yan landed in his pocket and looked at her admiringly.
Gu Qingyou was not used to being looked at in such a way. She took a step back, and when Dan Yan looked at her with an even more interested gaze, she wanted to retreat even more. However, because there was a sofa behind her, she only took one step back before reaching a position where she had no path to retreat to.
Dan Yan saw through all of Gu Qingyou's reactions, but he was not the least bit embarrassed nor did he look away, he only lazily said, "Lawyer Gu, there's no need to be nervous, I'm not a lecher, I'm just used to looking at beautiful things a few times." With that, Dan Yan walked over to the desk.
Gu Qingyou did not have a good impression of this kind of person who emitted an evil and wanton stench. Originally, she was prepared to leave, but found Dan Yan sitting in his seat, she frowned because of this.
Dan Yan looked over and noticed Gu Qingyou's expression. A warm smile appeared on her face, "What, are you really afraid of me, Miss Gu?"
"So, CEO Mo Lier is entrusting you to talk to me?" Gu Qingyou asked indifferently.
Dan Yan looked at Gu Qingyou with appreciation, because there had never been a woman who looked at him coldly and disinterestedly.
"In fact, the one who entrusted your firm with this case was not Mo Lier." The corner of Dan Yan's mouth raised into a smile.
Gu Qingyou looked at him coldly. After all, I have never met the Boss Dan before, so I do not know why the Boss Dan is able to persuade Mo Lier to hire me as his representative for such a huge case."
"Dan Yan leaned back in his chair leisurely, the smile on his face didn't change."Lawyer Gu, do you still remember that rainy night when you were miserably picking up the documents you dropped by the roadside??"
Gu Qingyou was startled, she acknowledged the memory that was bestowed to him, and the scene inside her mind appeared clearly.
He vaguely remembered the moment he raised his eyes to look at the car that night. That blurry outline on the back seat seemed to be the outline that was currently sitting behind the desk.
Recalling that night when his driver got off the car to pick up the documents for her, Gu Qingyou's indifferent voice calmed down a little, "So that night was Boss Dan's car."
She was very clear that if the driver didn't receive Dan Yan's orders right now, the driver wouldn't have hastily gotten off the car to pick up the documents for her.
"I wonder if Lawyer Gu has ever met such a person in his life. The first time I see her, you want this person to remain in your world forever?" Dan Yan smiled, and suddenly asked.
"Is this how the Boss Dan coax women?" Gu Qingyou said indifferently as she walked towards the desk.
She sat down on the seat opposite Dan Yan, with an extremely businesslike expression on her face, she took out the case information from the Business Packs.
In fact, she was relieved at that moment.
She had originally thought that Mingren Company had suddenly come to her for a lawsuit on purpose, but now she realised that it was just a coincidence.
Yes, if Dan Yan was really using her, there was no need for him to drag out that rainy night with her.
"Did Lawyer Gu ever meet one?" Dan Yan seriously asked again.
Gu Qingyou was silent for a moment before replying, "No."
Dan Yan laughed, "So there is?"
Gu Qingyou glared at Dan Yan in frustration.
Dan Yan revealed a look of pity: "Seems like this man is very outstanding. At the very least, he should be more outstanding than me."
Gu Qingyou replied coldly, "I'm sorry, if Boss Dan is the client for this case, I only want to discuss this case with you right now."
Dan Yan continued to smile gently."Alright, but before we go into the case, counsel, please allow me to say the last sentence that has nothing to do with the case??"
Gu Qingyou remained silent.
Dan Yan looked deeply at Gu Qingyou's fair and clear face, enunciating each word clearly, "Miss Gu just said that you 'didn't meet' her, but I did."
Due to the relationship of this case, Gu Qingyou had been in contact with Dan Yan for the next few days. After all, this case was a case where the Sun Group was fighting with the Jiang??s Group, because the one who paid the penalty for the breach of contract was the Sun Group. However, Dan Yan was a very principled person, after the first day of speaking with her, Dan Yan did not discuss anything else with her, which also caused Gu Qingyou to no longer dislike Dan Yan, and because it was too late yesterday, Dan Yan suggested that he send the driver to send her back to the office, so she did not reject him.
It was late again today, when Dan Yan insisted for the driver to take her to a law firm, she could not refuse, so she got in Dan Yan's car and returned.
However, Gu Qingyou never expected that when she got off Dan Yan's car, she saw an expensive but low key brand black car parked not far away from the car.
The last time Gu Qingyou went to eat together with her, she had also remembered the license plate of the car. As a result, she immediately recognized that that car was Jiang Jun's limousine in London.
Compared to the last time he met her in a state of panic, this time, even Gu Qingyou himself was surprised by her calmness.
After Dan Yan's driver drove away, Ye Shuo got off the car and walked in front of her.
Gu Qingyou frowned slightly.
Ye Shuo had told her before that he would tell her Jiang Jun's whereabouts, but he couldn't do it at this moment.
Ye Shuo knew what Gu Qingyou was thinking and respectfully explained, "Because Boss Jiang just got off the plane and because he wasn't in the car, he sent me to fetch his wife, so I didn't inform's whereabouts."
When Jiang Jun was mentioned, she felt a sharp pain in her heart.
Though it was clear that she had no right or reason to blame him or hate him, she had no desire to see him again, not in the least, for she had made up her mind to exclude him from her life.
Even if it took a long time, she would do it.
"I don't know why he wanted to see me." Gu Qingyou asked indifferently.
Ye Shuo answered honestly, "Boss Jiang already knows that the lawyer fighting Jiang??s Group is Madam. I think Boss Jiang wants to talk to Madam."
Gu Qingyou replied blandly, "I think that if it's a lawsuit, according to my professional conduct as a lawyer, I shouldn't meet with the Boss Jiang.
Ye Shuo was rather surprised by Gu Qingyou's cold and distant attitude, her body slightly paused. Madam knows that I am only here to attend to errands, if Madam does not follow me to the carriage, I am afraid that I will not be able to answer to Boss Jiang."
"You just have to tell your boss what I said. I believe he understands my profession." Throwing those words down, Gu Qingyou turned around and prepared to enter the office.
"Madam??" Ye Shuo called out in a low voice. I believe that Madam is very clear about Boss Jiang's personality. If Boss Jiang did not see Madam, I'm afraid that Boss Jiang would have personally come to her office or residence. I am sure that Madame is not pleased to see it."
Gu Qingyou had already taken a few steps forward, but because she heard Ye Shuo's words slowly, her steps slowed down until she finally stopped.
Ye Shuo did not say anything else and walked to the back and opened the car door for Gu Qingyou.
Gu Qingyou's face turned white, she did not want to have anything to do with that person in her life, but because of Ye Shuo's reminder, her feet seemed to have grown roots as they stood in place.
On the way to Jiang Jun's i
, Gu Qingyou's face was gloomy, but she did not say a word.
In front of the window of the hotel room, Gu Qingyou saw Jiang Jun.
He had his back to her and his hands were in his pockets. His tall and straight body exuded a chilling aura that lowered the temperature of the entire room.
