“Fine, I’ll go! However, if I want to leave in the middle, you’re not allowed to stop me or I’ll flip out.”
“I know, I know! If I want to meet the right one, I still have time to bother with you?” Le Mei squeezed her eyes at her.
In the days that followed, Sammy Jones had been hunkered down at Le Mei’s house. In the middle of the day, she went back to get her own change of clothes, but she was also scared, afraid that something would pop out from the side to harm her. When she approached a passerby, she was scared to death, which is exactly what Joey Xu said, she is really paranoid about being victimized.
These days, there is no contact with Joey Xu at all. Sometimes flipping through the TV, flipping and flipping to that news station, never love to watch the news, she can still guard that station to watch for a while, until Le Mei is really can not stand it, only to turn the station away.
But not once has there been any news about Yung.
I also don’t know if his injuries have healed yet. The point is, if those people in the Xu family can’t find themselves to vent, they might find Joey Xu again.
Sometimes it’s a little hard to sit still when she thinks about these things. But in the past two days Sammy Jones’ attention had been taken over by something else: the case of the Quartet.
The cell phone rang again, and when she looked at the number on it, Sammy Jones was a bit scared. As soon as Le Mei saw her expression, she guessed who was calling, “Don’t answer it! Or, I’ll answer it for you!”
“Don’t, I’d better get it myself!” Sammy Jones felt intolerant after all.
“What can you do if you take it? It’s still just a rejection of them?”
Sammy Jones didn’t say anything, pulled open the door, and walked out onto the balcony to listen to the call. As expected, it was Luo Meng, the daughter of the chairman of the Quartet Group.
“Lawyer Ye, count on us to beg you, you take this case okay?” Luo Meng was crying over there, choking on her words, unable to speak, “Now the above is going to prosecute my dad for a new crime, saying that my dad has illegally financed more than 205 E … If we can’t get this true asset evaluation out, my dad is in debt for 20 E. Lawyer Ye, my dad will be sentenced to death! of!”
Sammy Jones shuddered slightly. She hadn’t paid attention to the case for just a while, and now it was going to be so complicated?
“Is it true that illegal financing?”
Luo Meng paused for a moment before saying, “There is nothing wrong with financing 2. 3 billion dollars, however, this is by no means illegal. At first, my father’s private financing were all approved and also defaulted by the higher-ups, and now … now it has become like this …”
“Luo Meng, calm down, it’s not that I won’t help you, but I’m afraid I can’t help you.” Sammy Jones knows that this matter is getting more and more complicated, and I am afraid that it is not on the surface of these things, his own take over this lawsuit is also just a loss.
“Lawyer Ye …,” Luo Meng called out to her in desperation as if she was grasping for the last straw. “Other than you, we really don’t have any more options. Lawyer Ye, my dad is the spiritual pillar of our entire family, our heaven, my mom can’t support it now, she passed away yesterday. If you still don’t help us … we really can only all go down to accompany my mom and dad!”
Hearing her say that moved Sammy Jones to compassion again. The family was under a cloud, and there was no room for them to breathe. She had become their last hope, knowing that it was small, but at least for the time being, she could support them down the road.
She sighed, “This matter is a big thing, I took your case, and in the future … maybe I won’t have another chance to fight the lawsuit. So … you give me a little time to think about it, okay?”
She really couldn’t afford to balk at the idea.
Once Luo Meng heard her say that, she was already so excited that she cried, “Lawyer Ye, thank you! Really thank you very much! In the future, you will definitely be a best lawyer! Our family will remember your kindness for the rest of our lives!”
“Don’t you say that, I … I still need to think about it.” Sammy Jones was embarrassed.
After hanging up the phone, her mind was heavy. Le Mei handed her a glass of water with a helpless look on her face, “You’re really hopeless! Not listening to the old man’s words suffers.”
Sammy Jones, a little confused in his head, took a sip of water and muttered, “Actually … their family is quite poor.”
“You don’t want to take it again do you Sammy Jones, don’t blame me for not advising you, if you dare to take this case, you will be more pathetic than them! Okay, okay, let’s not talk about it, you go change and put on your makeup, we’re linking up with Xiaozhuang’s firm today.”
Sammy Jones stood still and just looked down at the cell block. Le Mei tugged at her helplessly, “Come on, let’s not think about that for a while.”
The sorority, which is at an upscale restaurant.
In addition to Sammy Jones and Le Mei, there were three female coworkers, and over there came five men. They didn’t sit together, but in pairs in the dining room. The one who paired up with Sammy Jones is a lawyer, also a famous one in the industry, and Sammy Jones is worried about Sifang Group, so naturally, she saw the opportunity and immediately grabbed the case to ask him for advice. She clearly is not here to matchmaking, but to talk about business, but the other party is also a gentleman, not only not annoyed, but also and she carefully analyze the case again.
Results …
The other four tables were just like that, lukewarm. On the contrary, she, who was not here for a blind date, had a heated conversation. The two were originally sitting face to face, but Sammy Jones sat directly next to each other.
And this scene …
Coincidentally, someone who had pushed the door in, took it in stride.
Joey Xu didn’t expect to meet her here after such a long time. Moreover, who is that man? Not only did she sit over there, but she also leaned her face so close, almost face to face.
Joey Xu paused in his tracks, his brow furrowed as he just looked at the pair.
Luo Jinchuan just came in, didn’t notice that he was a big guy standing in the doorway, and headbutted him on the shoulder. He bumped his head and rubbed his head, complaining, “Big brother, you’re standing in the doorway as a door god?”
Suspiciously following Joey Xu’s line of sight, Luo Jinchuan then laughed, “Yo, isn’t that Lawyer Ye? What, someone has a red luan heart?”
“Shut up!” Joey Xu coldly spat out two words, these days he was still worrying if this woman would be targeted by the Xu family, but he didn’t expect that, she was good, not only did she have a good life, but she also had free time to fall in love here!
Luo Jinchuan favors the person across the table from time to time, ordering leisurely while asking, “Do you want me to help you to greet that man across from her? However, it looks good, well-mannered, gentlemanly, and quite a match for Lawyer Ye.”
Joey Xu drew back his eyes and cast them at him, “When did you become so verbose? Is it because your life with your Su Liangxi is too light and you want to add some salt?”
Luo Jinchuan let loose a smile, “We’re not living a light life at all, it’s very heavy. However, I do know that some people are so light now that I’m afraid they’re turning into monks.” He stifled his laughter and tried to keep a straight face, “Big brother, how long have you been a vegetarian? Do you want me to send you some meat?”
Joey Xu squeezed a silky smile without any shade, “Yeah, how about, just you?”
Someone’s asshole tightened, “It’s too heavy for me to handle. It’s better to discuss and renegotiate this.”
The dishes were all served, and the two were about to move their chopsticks when they heard two small female waiters on the side get together and bite their ears, “Eh, you say, which of the five pairs of them on this blind date will be successful.”
“They’re the only ones on the blind date?” It dawned on another person that someone had called early in the morning to make a reservation, so the entire restaurant knew that there were going to be ten blind dates today. “I don’t think the success rate will be very high. Just that pair, you see! They’ll definitely make it!”
Joey Xu looked in the direction of the waitress’s finger and caught a glimpse of Sammy Jones. and, of course, the man across from her. His face darkened in half. Dare to say that this woman is not only in love, but also worried about marriage.
Luo Jinchuan didn’t drop for a second to look at his face, and then, earnestly patted his shoulder and comforted, “Big brother, don’t think about it, you already have Zhao Yuanyuan now, and Yuanyuan is waiting to be your wife with all her heart, so don’t look at the bowl and think about the pot.”
Joey Xu slapped his hand away, “Who’s the pot and who’s the bowl? She, Sammy Jones, is a cup at best! No, just an ashtray!”
He pointed smoothly to the tiny crystal ashtray on the table, and Luo Jinchuan looked straight up.
It seems that the loss of someone’s love is not as serious as he thought. When Zhao Lanlan got married, she thought that Joey Xu was going to live his life without a heart and soul, saying that he was going to marry Zhao Yuanyuan, but everyone could see clearly that it was just to take revenge on Zhao Lanlan.
Now it’s good that there’s a Sammy Jones.
Sammy Jones spoke with a dry mouth, analyzing the whole case to the end was more and more unpromising. She took a sip of water, said to the other side and headed for the restroom.
After washing her hands, she propped herself up on the glazed counter and pondered for a long time. To the eyes of professionals in the industry, such a complicated case was simply not something she could take on. This kind of case needs at least a team of lawyers, but on the contrary, except for her everyone avoids the Quartet and the snake scorpion like.
Sighing, she walked out of the restroom. She was keeping her head down with a heavy heart, so she passed no one. She didn’t look up until someone was cold and pulled her to a halt. She was a little confused when she suddenly bumped into a cold, handsome face. But remembering something, she immediately had to shake off his hand.
Joey Xu was completely unable to understand where the anger on her face was coming from.
He didn’t let go and asked through clenched teeth, “You’re putting a face on me because I’m interrupting your blind date?”
“You let go of me, I don’t want to talk to you.” Sammy Jones is naturally reminded of what happened to the Four Square Group, of Luo Meng’s cries, and of her saying that her father was going to be sentenced to death.
“Get your words straight before you leave!” Joey Xu clamped down on him in a domineering manner.
“I don’t have time to talk to you much right now. I have friends waiting for me, Mr. Xu, please let go.” Her face was slightly cold, and the words that came out of her mouth were even more detached and cold, as if she wanted to clear her relationship with him.
Joey Xu’s fire came back up, the thorns that were erected all over her body were as if they were stabbing directly into his heart. He immediately pinched her face and made her lift up to his, “It’s just a blind date, why are you so nervous? You’d better make it clear to me, otherwise, I won’t just fix you, I’ll even fix him too!”
Sammy Jones had only been gambling with him over the Quartet case, and, as a result, his words had really lit her fire at once.
” Mr. Xu holds a lot of power, of course he can fix whoever he wants, and it’s easy to fix whoever’s life is lost.” Sammy Jones made a snide remark, “Go ahead, you screw me and him together ah, I have no intention of becoming this lawyer anyway! I’m not afraid of you!”
Her series of words caused Joey Xu to freeze slightly. Retracting his hand, his dark eyes locked onto her, “You don’t need to be cynical, there’s something to talk about. Did someone from the Four Directions Group call you?”
Sammy Jones bit her lip and didn’t say anything. Once Joey Xu saw her like this, she was even more angry and asked through clenched teeth, “So, you’re planning to take them on this case again now?”
