When the pastries arrived, Duan Xiaoyun had already left.
Lu Enxi sat there empty, staring at the cup stupidly.
Gu Ya put the pastries away and asked softly, "Is there anything that's bothering you?"
Lu Enxi shook his head, "It's okay."
There were no other customers in the store at the moment. Gu Ya sat on the chair next to her and patted her arm, "Everything will pass and get better. I have also experienced very difficult times. At that time, I thought my life was completely over.
, there is no hope and I cannot see the light, but there is a person who saved me. He said that as long as he breathes, he can create miracles."
Lu Enxi didn't understand why she said this. They only met once, "That person?"
Gu Ya's eyes were bent, and there were deep and shallow crow's feet at the corners of her eyes when she smiled, "The person who had dinner with you last time, he saved my life."
So that’s it.
Lu Enxi forced a smile and said, "You must be very grateful to him and think he is a good person."
Gu Ya said, "I don't have much contact with Mr. Si, but I believe that he is not a bad person. Bad people will not lend a helping hand to strangers, and they will carefully plan the rest of their lives for her."
Yes, you can be so considerate to strangers, why can't you be so considerate to her?
Lu Enxi smiled bitterly, "Thank you for the pastries and these words, but everyone has different standards of judgment in their hearts."

With the participation of people from Si Bo Nian, the judicial authorities also joined in searching for evidence. In less than a week, the supplementary indictment was submitted to the Manchester Supreme Court, and the trial was held the next week.
Lu Enxi sat alone in the room. The information in his hand showed the data, channels and anonymous accounts of his uncle's transfer of funds over the years.
The amount involved is close to 100 million. If he were in China, he would not have the luxury of walking out of prison within fifteen years.
Because the British judicial system involves a jury, the specific sentencing is not yet known.
But one thing is certain, my uncle is doomed this time.
In the second week, Lu Enxi continued to receive new evidence, not only money, but also Duan Xiaoyun's personal feud with the KM Group, which he once served as the personal accountant of the Lu Group. These testimonies were very unfavorable to his uncle, but winning the case for KM was
An unparalleled weapon.
During this period, Lu Enxi came up with the idea that maybe his uncle could return to France before the court issued an order restricting movement. Britain has already left the European Union, and the court that wants to bring his uncle back from France must at least pass the extradition clause.
"Xixi, if my uncle is a timid person who is shy and avoids things, he will not come back to England specially. I proposed this matter. Henry is just doing things for me. If I don't stand up, he will bear all the responsibilities.
"
Lu Enxi was anxious, "Uncle, I can serve as an intermediary to contact you and Si Bo Nian to reconcile in court. Maybe he..."
"No! The Lu family and the Duan family will never ask for help from the Si family! My uncle would rather go to jail than bow to him!"
It has been half a month since the last phone call with Si Bo Nian. Lu Enxi has not contacted him proactively again, nor has he heard any instructions from KM executives from Du Junjie and others.
It seems that they are prepared to handle the case in accordance with the law.
My uncle has an upright character, and he must be prepared to pay the legal price for his revenge on km. Even if Si Baonian accepts the settlement, his uncle will not agree, not to mention that km will not let go.
Lu Enxi scratched her hair hard. Staying up late for a long time caused her eyes to become covered with red bloodshot eyes. Her irritability and anxiety aggravated her mood swings. She didn't get a good night's sleep for three consecutive days.
Zou Qian knocked on the door and came in. She was shocked when she saw her expression, "Lawyer Lu, are you sick? You look so bad."
Lu Enxi held the coffee cup, "What's the matter, tell me."
Zou Qian couldn't bear to hand over the document to her, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Lawyer Lu, maybe... you can say something nice to the CEO and ask for mercy. The CEO may withdraw the lawsuit for your sake. As long as the lawsuit is withdrawn, the lawsuit will be settled in court."
, it should be fine if you return the money."
The relationship between Lu Enxi and Duan Xiaoyun is no longer a secret. Zou Qian heard a lot of gossip from Gao Qi, talking about deliberate revenge and the like. She also said that the president was going to ruthlessly defeat Duan Xiaoyun completely as a warning to others.
The legal team also made very demanding demands, not only requiring Duan Xiaoyun to pay back the money, but also depriving him of the right to return to China on the grounds of endangering safety, and in addition, he would be jailed.
Lu Enxi stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the stuff."
Zou Qian dodged for a moment, unable to bear it, her eyes turned red and she was about to cry, "Really, Lawyer Lu, if you go to the CEO to beg for mercy, you might still have a chance to change your mind. Please, Lawyer Lu, you are really distressing. Others
I don’t know, I know very well, you haven’t had a good meal in half a month, you can’t sleep well, and you have lost a lot of weight.”
Lu Enxi repeated, "Give it to me."
Zou Qian burst into tears. She couldn't bear to take another look at the thin and disfigured Lu Enxi, "Lawyer Lu, do you really want to face Mr. Duan in court?"
Lu Enxi opened the folder and read through the ten lines at a glance. Sure enough, they were all deadly. "Anyone who does something wrong must pay the price. Everyone is equal before the law."
Is it equal? KM’s demands are clearly to put people to death.
Zou Qian pursed her lips and held back her tears, "What can I do?"
"Sleep well, there will be a lot to do during the court session tomorrow."
Pushing Zou Qian away, Lu Enxi read the document several times.
Leaning on the sofa and facing the empty room, my nails dug into the printing paper bit by bit, picking at the messy English characters, and I wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.
——
When Si Bo Nian returned to the office after the meeting, Lin Xiuchen followed him immediately, "President, the court session is at nine o'clock tomorrow morning in the UK."
"Um."
The Legal Department had already faxed the defense plan. After reading it, Lin Xiuchen said one word, "Ruthless."
Lin Xiuchen sighed in a low voice, "Tomorrow will definitely be very difficult for Lawyer Lu. I heard that she has lost a lot of weight in the past few days in the UK and looks as haggard as a serious illness. Think about it, her uncle is being sued in court, and she has to stab her.
."
Si Bo Nian sat behind the executive desk and gave him a sharp look, "What do you want to say?"
Lin Xiuchen gritted his teeth and shook out the thoughts he had been holding in his heart, "If Duan Xiaoyun can hand over the money and apologize publicly, even if he does not go to jail, it seems that the impact will not be big. He is now French-Chinese, and there is a high probability that he will not return to China."
Si Bo Nian looked at An Jing's personal phone and looked away, "Are you begging for mercy on his behalf?"
Lin Xiuchen took a step forward and nodded respectfully, "President, if Lawyer Lu personally sends Mr. Duan to prison, will you and Lawyer Lu ever meet again in the future?"
Si Bo Nian snorted coldly, "She's not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?"
He waited for half a month, thinking that Lu Enxi would at least call and say a nice word to convince her. Then he would be a little more accommodating and give her a step, and it would not be difficult to change Duan Xiaoyun's fate.
But she didn't. No matter how many requests the Ministry of Justice made, she remained indifferent and calmly participated in it.
Should he, the master of suffering, be allowed to let go of the person who drew the sword from behind?
He's not that generous yet.
Lin Xiuchen asked cautiously, "Maybe Lawyer Lu is embarrassed to speak. After all, it is Duan Xiaoyun who is in the wrong. I'll call and ask."
"lay down."
Lin Xiuchen just took out his cell phone and was so frightened that Si Bo Nian shouted, "President, I shouldn't say anything. Take a step back now so we can meet each other in the future."
Si Bo Nian dropped the document and banged it on the table, "Does she still want to meet me? I think she clearly wants to never have any contact with me."
Buzzing.
The phone that had been silent for a long time suddenly rang.
