Chapter 4: Golden Lawyer

  Lying sideways on the bed, Gu Xiyan closed her eyes, but couldnt fall asleep.

  A faint sound of footsteps echoed, and the bed beside her slowly sank, she knew that man had arrived.

  The heating in the room had not been on for long, and when the warm quilt was lifted, it brought a cool breeze. Gu Xiyan shivered slightly and buried her head deeper into the quilt.

  The mans breathing was almost within arms length, unexpectedly, Gu Xiyan didnt hear any movement behind her for a long time.

  Without turning around, Gu Xiyans gaze passed by and saw the mans firm and handsome side face under the orange-yellow lamp light, exuding a subtle and tempting charm.

  The light was a bit brighter, and half of her body stretched out from the mans body. Gu Xiyan wanted to go turn off the bedside lamp.

  The mans gaze swept unintentionally and happened to catch his wifes elegant swan-like neck.

  His hands suddenly tightened around Gu Xiyans waist, and the man quietly rested his forehead against hers.

  Gu Xiyan stared at him for a while, and finally turned off the lights. She thought she was clever to nestle her small head into the mans arms.

  In the darkness, a man and a woman, each with their own thoughts.

  Time passed quietly, and Gu Xiyan still had no intention of sleeping.

  Wei Zhe, this mans appearance was like throwing a stone into the calm lake surface, stirring up her heart in disarray.

  The man beside her breathed steadily and strongly, while Gu Xiyan felt like she had a lump in her throat that she couldnt swallow.

  "Qi, are you asleep? I couldnt sleep." Gu Xiyan murmured. She tossed and turned, but her body was still full of energy, she wished that there was someone to accompany her to talk and relieve her restlessness.

  I thought the man beside me was sleeping soundly, but unexpectedly, Gu Xiyan had just opened her mouth softly, and the man instantly opened his eyes.

  "Cant sleep, huh?" The mans gentle voice brushed past Gu Xiuyans ear.

  Gu Xiyan suddenly became interested and softly suggested: "Why dont you tell me a story?"

  In the darkness, the man heard Gu Xiyans childish words, paused for a moment, and his lips curled up - telling ghost stories in the middle of the night? How interesting!

  Night is getting deeper!

  Gu Xiyans body below her neck was all buried under the quilt, while the man continued to tell his absurd story with great interest.

  Its a bit chilly, isnt it? The cold wind is blowing. Gu Xiyan shivered for no reason.

  Fen Yu suddenly punched the mans chest and Gu Xiyans voice changed: "Qǐ, I dont want to listen anymore, stop it quickly."

  The man stopped talking and pulled Gu Xiyan into his arms with one hand, "Scared?"

  "Hmm, dont say anything more." Gu Xiyan muttered a sentence.

  "Alright." The man seemed to be compromising a bit more as he listened.

  The power of the ancient martial art finally surged into Gu Xiyans body.

  Fall asleep soundly!

  Contentedly snuggled in the mans arms, Gu Xiyan was unaware that after she fell asleep, the mans eyes were filled with complexity.

  ==

  After Wei Zhe appeared that day, Gu Xiyan never saw him again. With a self-mocking smile, Gu Xiyan threw the man out of her mind. Since she had decided to forget, she had to do it thoroughly.

  That night, a well-known entrepreneur in Beijing hosted an upper-class social gathering under the banner of "strengthening friendship", but who didnt know that this kind of banquet was always "no good banquet".

  Gu Xiyan may have had little contact with people of this kind, but as for the scandals within the wealthy families, she was not unfamiliar with them either!

  It is said that the old boss has a daughter who has just returned from studying abroad, as beautiful as a flower. This banquet was held so grandly, it seems that the old boss wants to choose a son-in-law for his daughter. To put it nicely, hes choosing, but to be honest, anyone with a bit of brains knows that the old boss must have already chosen someone. Whoever can get the attention of the old boss of such a large enterprise, their identity is certainly not simple.

  Shang Yueqi was also among the invited guests at this banquet. A discerning person would only need one glance to see that someone like Shang Yueqi had only come to join in the excitement. If it were any other time, Shang Yueqi would have definitely declined the invitation with a single word. But this time, he remained silent for just a moment before accepting the invitation.

  "Unfortunately, come with me." Shang Xis words seemed like a request, but were actually an order.

  "Okay."

  As soon as the two arrived at the banquet venue, they were immediately greeted by service staff.

  A neatly dressed young man led the two of them to the old general manager with courtesy and respect. When the old general manager saw Gu Xiyan, his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and... greed.

  "Lawyer, youre a busy person, its not easy to get an appointment with you!" The boss said, extending his hand.

  Shang Yis hand was about to touch the old general managers hand when it suddenly withdrew and turned to hug Gu Xiyan: "General Luo, youre joking, this is my wife, surname Gu."

  Shenzi deliberately blocked Luos line of sight towards Gu Xiyuan, and Shang Yis voice was cold: "Luo wants to have something to do, so we wont disturb you."

  Having said that, Shang Yi led Gu Xiyan to a secluded table in the banquet hall.

  Behind them, Luo Zong was initially stunned, but soon became indignant - Hmph, just a small lawyer, dare to give me attitude!

  At this moment, Luo Zong had almost forgotten that Shang Yiqi was a lawyer, but he was also the most famous and wealthy gold medal lawyer in this vast imperial city under the emperors feet. Just because of Shang Yiqis mouth, which had brought down no less than ten companies of the same scale as Lin Corporation, or even larger, Luo Zong shouldnt have underestimated him.

  The legal community of China has been circulating these two sentences for five years: Even if the evidence is insufficient, it can prove the truth. This is the value of the existence of lawyers. Even evidence and lawyers are not enough to defend justice, this is the significance of the existence of Shanggui Qi.
