Chapter 178 Inside the Window, That Familiar Figure
Change lawyer?
Is my uncle in a lawsuit?
As a lawyer, she had the reason and responsibility to ask more questions, but when her uncle saw her coming, he quickly hung up the phone and didn't mention anything about what happened just now. He only said warmly, "Xixi is here, sit down."
, sit down quickly."
Lu Enxi thought that she probably didn't want her uncle's private affairs to be known to a junior like her, so she gave up. After sitting down and seeing her uncle's face clearly, her heart suddenly ached.
He is obviously older. He held a senior position in those days and was pampered. Although he was under a lot of pressure as a senior executive, his life was absolutely guaranteed. Today, his uncle has a lot of gray hair on his temples, and there is obviously an extra layer of frown on his face, and his eyes are
There are signs of depression.
My uncle is less than sixty and only four years older than my mother.
In the past three years, his life must have been unsatisfactory.
When relatives meet again, they have a lot to say, but when they really say it, they still use the most tacky and common words.
Lu Enxi smiled obediently and said, "How are you doing, uncle? Are you still getting used to it in France?"
Duan Xiaoyun said repeatedly, "Okay, it's good. Your aunt and I studied in France when we were young, and we are quite adaptable to life. Your cousin and your cousin also found jobs they like there, and everything is fine."
good."
Family members are good at reporting good news and not bad news. Lu Enxi didn't know whether his uncle's words were true or false. Seeing the fatigue in his eyes, he still felt sad in his heart, "That's good, France is very livable, and my aunt can take care of her health. Yes.
Come on, uncle came to England on a business trip or something?"
Duan Xiaoyun's eyes darkened slightly, then returned to normal, "It's just work, it's nothing important - Xixi, what would you like to drink? I remember you used to like to drink Earl Gray black tea, can I order you a cup?"
The tip of Lu Enxi's nose felt sore again. Her uncle still remembered her taste preferences, but times had changed and it had been a long time since she had sat down and tasted tea comfortably. "Okay, I also want a chiffon cake."
Duan Xiaoyun smiled lovingly, but he couldn't touch the tip of this big girl's nose anymore, otherwise he would call her a glutton like before. After ordering tea and desserts, he said, "I heard you filed a lawsuit for KM?"
Lu Enxi was confused, how did his uncle know? If he knew, did his parents also know?
If the mother learns that she is still involved with km, will she get sick again?
Suppressing the anxiety in his heart, Lu Enxi carefully asked for confirmation, "Uncle, who did you listen to?"
He filed a lawsuit against KM and has not made it public for the time being. The news should not be leaked.
Duan Xiaoyun said earnestly, "An old friend of mine works in the court. He mentioned it to me. I didn't believe it at first, but judging from your reaction, it turned out to be true. Xixi, you are helping km, and my uncle won't say anything. After all, we
You have to keep public and private affairs separate, but you and the people in the Si family still have to keep a distance to avoid being hurt."
When the tea was brought, Lu Enxi thanked her, holding the small spoon, hiding a little guilt in her eyes, "It's a long story, uncle, don't worry, I won't do anything stupid."
Duan Xiaoyun smiled and nodded, "Xixi is a smart child. Uncle believes that you can protect yourself. As for the lawsuit, I will not tell your parents."
If they find out, they are afraid that there will be another wave of trouble. Their most beloved daughter, whom they protect like a sweetheart, how can they watch her go into the tiger's den again?
The two chatted for a while, telling each other about their overseas life experiences in the past few years, including the ups and downs.
After drinking most of the tea, Duan Xiaoyun said thoughtfully, "Xixi, what do you think is the most important thing about being a lawyer?"
His uncle was suddenly so serious. Naturally, Lu Enxi could no longer act like a child and said seriously, "It is what a lawyer must do to uphold the fairness and justice of the law and protect the legitimate rights and interests of the parties."
Duan Xiaoyun nodded slowly, looking at her with gentle but firm eyes, "There is no absolute justice in the world, let alone absolute fairness. The right to speak is only in the hands of a few people. If one day, you have to face the choice between justice and emotion
, what would you do?”
Lu Enxi could not speak immediately because the question was too heavy.
She thought of her parents and eldest brother. If the court's corrections were correct, then they were criminals and should be punished by law.
But she didn't want to condemn them in her heart.
Duan Xiaoyun patted her clenched fists on the table and said softly, "Xixi, as long as you have a balance in your heart, insist on doing the right thing, and have a clear conscience."
The uncle's words were very strange, and Lu Enxi always felt that he meant something, "Are you in trouble? Legally? Maybe I can help you."
Duan Xiaoyun shook his head, "You should do your job steadily, uncle can handle this small matter."
At this time, Si Bo Nian and Alex's car had arrived in Manchester City.
Entering the city center, the speed of the car slowed down, and the driver had the good sense to stop outside various landmark buildings to let Si Boyian, a foreign friend, appreciate the local scenery.
Alex had long been tired of looking at the large and small buildings in Britain and glanced around aimlessly.
When he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the floor-to-ceiling window, he thought he had seen it wrong and said in surprise, "William, is that person Lu?"
Si Bo Nian held his cell phone and was hesitating whether to contact Lu Enxi in advance or go directly to the hotel to find someone. When he heard the reminder in his ear, he looked sideways out of the window. Behind the smooth glass, it was Lu Enxi in a skirt.
She was holding black tea, with a light smile on her beautiful cheeks, the corners of her mouth raised, and she was very relaxed.
And opposite her...
Si Baonian's pupils shrank.
Duan Xiaoyun?
So far, their lawsuits have not revealed the mastermind behind the scenes, so they did it so quickly?
Looking at this harmonious and beautiful scene, could Lu Enxi and her uncle have reached a consensus and prepare to join forces to escape legal sanctions?
The long fingers were pressed against the metal edge of the phone, and the joints gradually tightened due to the force.
"Stop the car, I'll go find Lu!"
Alex was excitedly preparing to jump down, but Si Bo Nian held his shoulders and locked him firmly on the seat, "Sit tight."
The quiet voice was filled with intimidation and coldness.
Alex was stunned by him. He sat down obediently and didn't move any more. He just said reluctantly, "Why can't we find Lu? Didn't we come to Manchester City to see her?"
Si Bo Nian answered him with an even colder look, which finally gave him a car full of silence.
Farewell to her uncle, Lu Enxi was worried.
Is it because she has experienced these things that she is too sensitive, or is her uncle really hiding something from her?
While I was deep in thought, the phone rang.
Si Bo Nian is pretty good at finding time.
"Master Si, are you here?"
Si Boyian's voice was enough to turn the warm tea room into an ice room, "Where is it?"
"I'm out and not in the hotel. Master Si, tell me where you are and I'll go find you."
Si Bo Nian said in a cold voice, "Can you find a position for you? Are you familiar with Manchester City?"
What happened to him?
Fortunately, she didn't offend this financial owner, right?
Lu Enxi picked up the bag and walked out of the tea room, "I won't get lost. I'll take a taxi."
Si Boyian said an address and a long list of words in English. He spoke very quickly and did not repeat it a second time.
