The line of sight stole a glance at Luo Mingfan, with a look as if he knew trouble if he knew him. Luo Mingfan somewhat awkwardly narrowed his eyebrows and slightly sidestepped, avoiding Le Mei’s line of sight.
Sammy Jones looked at Luo Mingfan heartily, and Le Mei said, “He was my savior in America.”
“A savior?” Le Mei raised an eyebrow.
“Hmm. Enough with you for now, Mingfan, let’s go talk on the terrace.” Sammy Jones brushed aside Le Mei and led Luo Mingfan towards the terrace.
Lok Ming Fan, why is he Sammy Jones’ savior?
When she was in the United States, Sammy Jones had a hard time. She was a newcomer to Florida and didn’t know a soul. She was very short-handed and had a very hard time. After eating this meal, it was time to figure out what the next meal should be, where to eat a burger to have a little money left over, and which alley to go to buy salad for a little cheaper. In order to make it through the days, she studied during the day and worked at a fast food restaurant in the middle of the night.
The pain of that life is something that those who have not experienced it will never understand.
One night, she came out of a fast-food restaurant after work alone, but she didn’t expect to be targeted by three black men. With their big men, she was no match for a little girl. Moreover, in such a strange country, when the language is not very fluent, Sammy Jones was scared out of her wits. They wanted to rob the money, she immediately obediently handed over the fresh salary. At that time, the usual stubbornness and fearless courage has long gone to hell. However, I didn’t expect those three men to see that she was easy to bully, and then started to have bad intentions again.
She was so scared that she screamed for help and tried to rush out of the alley, but she was caught by three men. Each of them was a strong man over 2 meters tall, and it would take less than a minute to subdue a thin and weak her. Even though there were people passing by around her, however, no one dared to make a move. First of all, she is Asian, yellow-skinned people in that great country was more or less will be ostracized, even if racism in their view is a sinful term; Secondly, who do not want to be a stranger to get into trouble. Sammy Jones cried and shouted voice are mute, was three men pressed underneath the body, the body of the clothes have been tattered and tattered, and she has even been ready to be gang-raped mentally prepared to start calculating how to get evidence, how to sue for death, and how to get the money. How to take evidence, how to sue these brutes to death.
Results …
It was Luo Mingfan – a yellow-skinned, Chinese boy like her – who suddenly appeared to save her.
He was 180cm, which was considered tall in the country. However, compared to the three men on the other side who were more than 2 meters tall, he could really only be considered weak. However, he rushed out with such righteousness. Fortunately, he had practiced two hands and had a few strikes, so he didn’t have to be killed by those three black men. The good thing is that it delayed the time, and also let Sammy Jones have time to report to the police.
From the police station out, Luo Mingfan are covered with color, walking step is the heart of the pain. Sammy Jones cried and thanked and apologized, straight said Luo Mingfan if there is anything she is responsible for the end, so that Luo Mingfan face are red.
After that, Luo Mingfan not only rented his house to Sammy Jones cheaply, but also helped her find an easy job in a law firm not far from the house. Therefore, after she met Luo Mingfan, Sammy Jones’ life started to get on the right track, not to mention that she didn’t have to work so hard, and she didn’t have to be afraid all the time.
This favor that Luo Mingfan had given her, Sammy Jones would naturally never forget it for the rest of her life.
“Thinking about something?” Luo Mingfan asked as he sat down on the wicker chair on the terrace and saw her standing by the coffee maker in a daze.
Sammy Jones returned his attention and brought his coffee to him with a slight smile, “Thinking about what we used to do in America. If it wasn’t for you, I don’t know what would have become of me now.”
“It’s just a matter of raising my hand.” Luo Mingfan downplayed the situation and didn’t mean to take credit for it.
Sammy Jones sighed, “Yeah, a show of hands.” Knowing that he couldn’t beat those three people, he still stepped in to help, this courage and chivalry wasn’t something everyone had. Just like Luo Mingfan’s situation now …
Sammy Jones gave him a look, “I didn’t realize you were Rocking’s brother.”
Lormingfan smiled noncommittally and looked at her with deep eyes, “You’re still the same Sammy Jones I know. bold, soft-hearted, and kind.”
Sammy Jones sat down across from him and looked at him, “Do you want me to take this case?”
Luo Mingfan didn’t make a sound, just tiredly leaned himself back within the rattan chair. He closed his eyes for a long time, seemingly torn, seemingly conflicted. This kind of him is something she has never seen before. In the past, when she went to class and got off, he picked up and dropped off, and from a distance, she could see his bright smile, more dazzling than the sunshine in the United States.
She suddenly felt unusually uncomfortable.
“Sammy Jones. I never thought there would be a day like this, it turns out that I can be so helpless …” He finally slowly opened his eyes, they were red and full of empty silence and despair, “My mom died. A family that was once harmonious and beautiful can now really only be described as a broken home … My dad is right! Every thing my dad did, the top is clear, and now, he is sentenced to death …”
Sammy Jones just felt a tightness in his chest. She wanted to comfort and console him, but, she didn’t know where to start.
“I know that none of you are willing to take this case, and taking … it is just hitting a stone with an egg, there is nothing good that can come out of it.” Luo Mingfan took a deep breath, “Sammy Jones, originally Linlin has been treating you as if you were a lifesaver, and even, before I knew it was you, I also saw you as our family’s only hope … although we all know how slim that hope is.”
Sammy Jones looked at him in disbelief as he sat up straight, “I didn’t intend for you to take the case, I came over here today just to catch up with you, have a little chat, and remove the bitterness from my heart. You’re not going to kick me out, are you?”
He was half joking with that last statement.
Sammy Jones was also bitter at heart, “Of course not. I’m sorry that you helped me so much and I … couldn’t do you any favors.”
“Don’t say that, I know what you are. Besides, you’ve helped us before, we’re the ones who almost dragged your career down.” Luo Mingfan smiled faintly in understanding. After that, he didn’t say anything else, just quietly leaning back in the rattan chair, seemingly really tired. Sammy Jones looked at that figure, his eyes swelling. In a trance, he felt that the big boy he once knew in the United States who had seen justice and courage, might never be seen again in the future …
Just …
Why is it that a brave and kind man like that has no one willing to step in when he needs help? It’s so unfair to him!
If she doesn’t even help, will she be able to sleep at night?
In the days that followed, Sammy Jones really didn’t sleep well. The retrial of the Four Directions Group was getting closer every day, and every time she talked about it on local TV, she couldn’t help but think of the help she had received from Luo Mingfan in the United States, and how cold and depressed he looked. However, Joey Xu’s warning still rings in her ears.
If she takes this case, she will not only fail to gain any benefits, but also completely piss off Joey Xu. However, if she doesn’t take it … her conscience, she will be uneasy for the rest of her life. …
Her own benefactor, in the most difficult time, but she also saw death as others do. Moreover, it was just a favor, especially if it was within the scope of her job. Lawyers, is not to do justice? Now she is afraid of the head, what kind of lawyer?
Thinking about this, she suddenly couldn’t stay a moment longer and dialed out.
“Ming Fan, bring your sister with you and let’s meet the three of us together early tomorrow morning!” Finished in one breath, not giving himself any chance to backtrack.
After hanging up the phone, the burden on the shoulders was heavy, but … the heart was instantly relaxed. That self-condemnation and guilt, instantly dissipated.
That’s her! That’s Sammy Jones!
A newborn calf, fearless. Even if the road ahead is dark, however, she begs for nothing more than a clear conscience.
Inside the office of Yung’s group.
Joey Xu dialed another call out, and Sammy Jones’ urgent voice came from there, “Joey Xu, I have something important in my hand right now, if you don’t have anything serious to do, then I won’t talk to you first.”
With that, she was about to hang up.
Joey Xu’s eyebrows were throbbing, “Sammy Jones, don’t you dare hang up on me!”
“Then hurry up if you have something to say, I’m really busy over here.”
Joey Xu is just weird.
He has a lot of work to do every day, there will be a conference to be held later, and after the conference, he will have to travel to the other side of the globe at night. He didn’t say he was busy, but she is just a small lawyer, can she be too busy for him? She can’t even connect a phone call?
“What are you so busy with every day?” He was a little annoyed.
“Busy with the case!” She answered as a matter of course. “What? Aren’t you busy?”
“Busy.”
“So you still have the time to gossip with me on the phone?” Sammy Jones was holding the phone between her face and shoulder. She had always taken things very seriously, and since she had promised Luo Mingfan and Linlin, she had to put in the maximum amount of hard work even if she knew what the road ahead looked like. And, the shorter the court date got, the more homework there was to do.
Joey Xu pressed his brow, “Have dinner with me tonight.”
“I can’t, I already have a date.”
“With who? A man or a woman?”
“Clients la. You’re on your own for dinner, if you don’t mind, I’ll have a late night snack with you later.”
A midnight snack?
Accompany him to eat on the other side of the world?
He smiled skinlessly and said conspiratorially, “Fine, then you’d better clean yourself from head to toe, inside and out, and you’ll be eaten for the midnight snack!”
And without waiting for Sammy Jones to come back to her senses, Joey Xu ‘snapped’ the phone in exasperation and hung it up. Unintelligent, emotionless stupid woman!
Sammy Jones over there didn’t think so much as hang up the phone and ‘swish’ two strokes. And then, in hindsight, he jolted to a halt and jawed, staring sideways at the phone. What did Joey Xu just say? A late night snack on her?
He … he can’t be serious?
Sammy Jones blushed at the thought of that. As a result, she was on the edge of her seat all afternoon, afraid that Joey Xu was serious. That guy is so dominant and strong, really broke into her house to go to him, it is not impossible. The key is, she is not confident in herself, in case she did not hold, then this thing is really … unimaginable consequences!
She had expected Joey Xu to call her again, but as it turned out, she hadn’t heard from him halfway through the afternoon.
The first thing that happened was that Luo Mingfan called and came directly to the office to pick her up for dinner. Sammy Jones got into Luo Mingfan’s car, and then Goodben drove Joey Xu to the office.
“Sir, Lawyer Ye seems to have gotten into the car of the gentleman in front.” Yoshimoto had sharp eyes and saw it at a glance.
“Follow it!” Joey Xu said without even thinking.
Goodben didn’t say much and immediately drove to follow. As a result, the two people in front of them were chatting so freely in the car that they didn’t even realize that there was a car following behind them. Even when Joey Xu asked Goodben to drive his car parallel to them, Sammy Jones didn’t even look at the side.
