"Isn't that Lu Enxi? Mr. Si's discarded worn-out shoes still have the nerve to come back?"
"In order to marry Si Bo Nian, I was like a licking dog, asking about his movements every day. What happened next? Didn't you get tired of being played with and kicked him away?"
"Her father misappropriated a lot of Si Bo Nian's money, and even borrowed billions of dollars in the name of Master Si. Now the whole family is hiding in the United States and is a deadbeat!"
"I heard from Mrs. Xiang that when Lu Enxi left home without getting a penny, she even took away the clothes and jewelry the Si family bought for her. It shows that she hates her to the extreme."
"Hehehe, Mr. Si is quite ruthless. He slept for free for three years."
"Hahahaha! You deserve it!"
Lu Enxi was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window holding a cup of coffee. The sunlight burst into her eyes, making her sour and stinging.
Six years ago, in that wealthy wedding that shocked the entire upper class, she was the heroine who was sought after and envied by countless people. The marriage to a wealthy family only lasted for three years. She endured the ridicule of the Si family and Si Bo Nian's cold violence.
As a daughter of a family, she became a live-in nanny.
On a rainy night three years ago, she woke up from a strange man's bed in a daze, and received Si Bo Nian's divorce notice the next day. In just one week, her lawyer's license was revoked without reason, her father's company was involved in a "fraud scandal", and her eldest brother
After many attempts to no avail, the company received an injunction from the court to "limit maximum consumption."
The stock investors went crazy to collect debts, smashed the windows and broke in. My mother suffered a heart attack on the spot. Although she was lucky enough to survive, she suffered from severe depression.
In desperation, his father chose to move his family to the United States. To survive in a strange country, his father rolled up his sleeves and worked as a car washer. The eldest brother and sister-in-law, who graduated from prestigious universities, were fired many times, and in the end they could only work as waiters in fast food restaurants.
While taking care of her mother, who was in a trance, she was studying to obtain a lawyer's license. For countless dark nights, she thought tiredly: How about jumping off the roof of the building, since living is so tiring...
Finally, she got the license two months ago and returned to China after many twists and turns.
I thought that three years would be enough time to fade away the past, but I didn't expect that people who had witnessed her marriage to Si Bo Nian were still making fun of her after dinner.
She really wanted to go back and have a quarrel, but in this real world, why should she waste words?
Three years later, the indentation of the ring on her ring finger no longer exists, but the humiliation Si Bainian brought her has not diminished at all.
Lu Enxi breathed out slowly. Besides the pain, there was more anger and regret. The decline of the Lu family was all caused by her. If she had not fallen in love with Si Baonian, there would be nothing like what happened later.
Si Bo Nian, hey, he is not a human at all!
The ringtone of the mobile phone suddenly interrupted his thoughts, "Senior?"
"Eunxi! Where are you? The law firm has big business!"
Zhang Yuheng, one of the founders of Tianheng Law Firm and Lu Enxi’s senior when he was a doctor of law, his voice was trembling with excitement and he almost dragged her out through the phone.
Lu Enxi gathered her breath and said, "It's in the cafe downstairs."
"Come up quickly! The sponsor is waiting, put on some makeup and make it look prettier!"
Their law firm is not well-known in Los Angeles. Most of the cases they handle are civil lawsuits, which take a long time and are cumbersome, but the attorney fees are very low.
Lu Enxi is skeptical about Zhang Yuheng's big business.
"I'm a lawyer, not a receptionist."
Zhang Yuheng was silly and said, "Hey, don't regret it when you see your employer later."
After simply finishing her makeup, Lu Enxi returned to the 23rd floor.
The man's back was turned to her, and his well-tailored black handmade suit outlined a different kind of aristocracy and alienation. His back alone was enough to show his extraordinary worth.
Lu Enxi took two steps forward and said, "Hello, I am Lu Enxi."
The man stood up slowly, took his right hand out of his trouser pocket, put on his tie, and straightened it lazily, "Long time to see you, Lawyer Lu."
Those low and cool words were like thunder crashing down on your face!
Lu Enxi's face instantly turned pale. The hand between the two of them was so heavy that it was awkwardly held, not knowing whether to take it away or put it back.
The man in front of me who turned all living beings upside down was actually him!
Si Boyian, CEO of KM Group.
The man who repeatedly pushed her into the abyss, watched her being laughed at, and even ruined her reputation and made her leave the house...her ex-husband.
After sharing the same bed for three years, she hugged a cold-blooded poisonous snake and bit her back when she was in the most difficult time! She loved him so much that she even gave up her dignity, and only said in exchange, "Lu Enxi, why are you so mean?"
For more than a thousand days, even when she couldn't eat enough, had a stomachache and suffered from insomnia, she couldn't bear to hate him. After a long, long time, she realized that some people's hearts cannot be kept warm, and they will never be kept warm.
Lu Enxi curled her fingers, and a wave of heat condensed on her forehead. It took her a long time to say, "Mr. Si, long time... no see!"
Si Bo Nian's slender hand grasped the small slender fingers, with a cold expression that showed neither sneer nor disdain, "Ha!"
The mocking look in his eyes was like looking at a bedbug crawling out of a trash can.
Five fingers were wrapped in his palm, as if they were about to be crushed. Lu Enxi's palm felt pain and he tried to pull it back, "Mr. Si, please sit down!"
Si Bo Nian still stood strong, with an innate chill in his body. He kept shaking hands and looked at her deeply with only one pair of eyes, trying to see the emotions in her eyes.
Zhang Yuheng rubbed his hands and smoothed things over warmly, "Hahaha, Mr. Si, this is the lawyer Lu Enxi I told you about. Although she has only been practicing for a short time, she is very good at patent disputes..."
Impatient to listen to his narration, Si Bo Nian interrupted coolly and fixed his sharp eyes on Lu Enxi, "Of course I know what she is capable of."
She has been in the industry for a short time? It seems that this woman is hiding her past.
Lu Enxi couldn't bear the pain and retracted his hand forcefully, "Mr. Si, I can't take your case. As you can see, I am a newcomer and have little experience. I have a better chance of winning if I leave it to Lawyer Zhang."
Is she refusing? Or is she using such a poor excuse? How come the female liar who lied without blinking in the past has regressed in her skills?
Si Bo Nian's lips twitched slightly, "Really? Then Lawyer Lu, who is still relatively junior, should at least know what breach of contract means."
He pulled out a brand new document, with the law firm's steel stamp on the lower right corner and his powerful signature.
Lu Enxi looked at Zhang Yuheng numbly and asked word by word, "What's going on?"
Zhang Yuheng smiled and scratched his head, "Enxi, Mr. Si's case is very easy to fight, so I will take it for you."
Si Bo Nian glanced over her features with cold eyes. The strange yet familiar woman in front of him seemed to have changed. She had lost the youthful simplicity of the young lady of the Si family. Under the decent professional skirt, she was a brand new workplace beauty.
The only thing that hasn't changed is that she is still stubborn, arrogant, and cold.
"The liquidated damages are 20 million, you don't have to accept it. Today..." He raised his hand and looked at his watch, "Before three o'clock, the liquidated damages will be credited to my company account."
Twenty million!
Lu Enxi immediately clenched his fists, almost laughed out loud, and responded with a bitter sneer, "Mr. Si, you are legally responsible for extortion. Do you need me to educate you on this?"
Si Bo Nian calmly opened the title page of the contract, "It says in black and white that both parties are consensual. Lawyer Lu thinks this is blackmail?"
"Miss Lu..." Si Bo Nian stepped closer to Lu Enxi and taunted in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I remember that you are very capable. You just climbed into the beds of a few more men and got 20 million.
Isn’t it difficult?”
Lu Enxi wanted to slap him on the spot! Tell him what price she had paid for her failed marriage in the past three years!
Because of him, my father was still bending down to clean the tires in the car wash; because of him, my mother had not had a good night's sleep for three consecutive years. The lady from a scholarly family had turned gray early, like an old man in her sixties or seventies; because of him,
He and she were treated frivolously while serving dishes in a restaurant...
Lu Enxi clenched her fists and turned the sadness in her heart into a faint smile, "Ha! It's not as good as Mr. Si who can easily destroy my career by revoking my lawyer qualification certificate. When it comes to ability, who is less capable than my boss?"
Si Bo Nian snorted coldly, "A liar who is full of lies is worthy of being a lawyer?"
Lu Enxi opened her thin lips lightly, and the hot breath lingered between the wings of her nose, "In this case, you went to such trouble to find me to file a lawsuit for you, is it because you have unresolved feelings for me and are using your power for personal gain?"
Si Bo Nian's long and narrow eyes scanned the collar of her unbuttoned shirt from top to bottom, and the arc of his lips was almost straight, "A bus that is full of passengers, I feel dirty even if I look at it even more."
The rising anger almost forced Lu Enxi to swear, but her professionalism and experience in the Si family helped her manage her expression perfectly, "So you are standing here talking about cooperation with me because you have eaten too much."
Is it burning?”
Otherwise, why are you here? To induce vomiting?
Zhang Yuheng couldn't hear their conversation, but the obvious low-pitched hostility around him really made him scared, especially within a radius of ten centimeters with Si Bo Nian as the center, there could be an ice hockey stadium.
I wanted to say something to break the deadlock, but I didn't dare after thinking about it.
Si Bo Nian retracted his trouser pockets with his big hands, his tall figure was condescending, and his voice became louder, "Lawyer Lu, happy cooperation!"
