Before the banquet started, Si Boyian received a call from Manchester City.
"President, we are adjourning the trial. The result is basically certain. Lawyer Lu argued in accordance with the appeal requirements we formulated. The evidence is conclusive and the jury's judgment will not be too biased."
Si Bo Nian stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the green plants and flowers in the yard, the shimmering light of the outdoor swimming pool reflecting the street lights, and the golden light cracking layer by layer in the ripples.
Lu Enxi fought this lawsuit in full compliance with the team's requirements, without bringing in any private goods, and strictly blocked some people's mouths, but what was she feeling in her heart? She hated him, right?
"Where's Lawyer Lu?"
When Du Junjie came to make a call, he saw Lu Enxi talking to Duan Xiaoyun in the lounge. He didn't know what they talked about. Their expressions were not very good-looking, but they were very calm. There was no sign of the fierce argument in the court.
Recalling the scene just now, Du Junjie's heart was still churning. Lu Enxi's angle was really tricky and he could always block the opponent's mouth at critical moments.
Every time she says, "You just need to answer, yes or no," she creates a strong aura, forcing the other party step by step to have nowhere to escape.
The plaintiff frequently said "yes" under repeated questioning. The judge's face darkened little by little, and the jury gradually became disgusted with the defendant.
Du Junjie doesn't want to stand on the opposite side of Lu Enxi one day. After many years of working in the industry, he has encountered many superb opponents, but the scary thing about this woman is that she is too calm and unreliable. You will never guess what she will do next.
What, I was led by her without realizing it.
"Lawyer Lu and Mr. Duan chatted for a while. I don't know what they said. They had a very fierce fight in the court. Every question asked by Lawyer Lu was aimed at driving the plaintiff's lawyer to death. His skill was very impressive."
The fists in Si Boyian's trouser pockets shrank and his long fingers were curled up, as if he was trying to grab something.
The more ruthlessly Lu Enxi attacks Duan Xiaoyun, the more distant she will be from him. Every attack in court means that Lu Enxi has made up her mind.
"I see."
Du Junjie couldn't tell the president's attitude towards Lu Enxi from his tone, but judging from the president's indifferent behavior these days, he most likely gave up on her, "Does the president have any other requests?"
Si Boyian said, "Let Lawyer Lu answer the phone."
"Yes, President."
Taking the phone, Lu Enxi said calmly, "Hello, Mr. Si."
Hearing her voice again, the distant and unfamiliar feeling was deeply rooted in Si Bo Nian's heart. It was clearly something called loss.
Si Bo Nian couldn't help but tug on his tie, standing under the crystal lamp, the sky was still gloomy, "Why don't you contact me?"
There was a clear female voice over there, and you could even hear a casual laugh, "Master Si, are you dissatisfied with our work or do you have additional requirements?"
"You know what I mean."
Lu Enxi said, "How can I know Mr. Si's thoughts? I don't dare to guess what the superiors think."
Every word pushed him hard, and his distant and polite tone completely disturbed Si Bo Nian's mood. "That amount of money is not enough for me to have to quarrel in court."
Lu Enxi's clear sneer disappeared, "Then what does Mr. Si want to do? Since he doesn't want to go to court, why did he sign a contract with the attorney and insist that the defendant be sent to prison, and he also added that he is not allowed to enter the land of China?
"Request, did I misunderstand what Mr. Si meant, or did Mr. Si's words and deeds differ and deliberately set off smoke bombs?"
Si Bo Nian pinched his eyebrows. This girl's mouth is really poisonous, "Duan Xiaoyun is your uncle, you haven't thought of doing anything for him?"
Lu Enxi sneered briefly, "Master Si, did I hear you correctly? Are you suggesting that your lawyer pleads for mercy to the defendant? Because he is my uncle? Did Master Si only find out today?"
Si Boyian's face darkened, "Lu Enxi, what's your attitude?"
"I'm sorry. If my attitude offended Mr. Si, I apologize to you. At this stage of the trial, the case is basically over. Minister Du has probably told you what the outcome will be. As Mr. Si's lawyer, I want to express my sincere condolences.
No shame, as for my private affairs, Mr. Si doesn’t have to worry about it.”
Realizing that she was about to hang up, Si Bo Nian said, "Do you have to tell the difference so clearly?"
Lu Enxi laughed angrily, "Does Mr. Si blame me for working hard? What should I do? Secretly reveal information to the defendant and help him escape legal sanctions? Help him plead for mercy and make a small confession to Mr. Si? I really did that, Si
What would you say?"
Si Bo Nian was furious, "You..."
"The court will start soon. I have to hang up the phone. See you later, Mr. Si."
The phone went silent, as if that person had withdrawn from his world and disappeared like smoke.
At this moment, Si Bo Nian's loss and anger took root, grew vigorously, and instantly gained overwhelming momentum.
No, he couldn't allow the past to happen again.
Halfway through the seemingly eccentric dinner, both parents wore masks and communicated, complimenting and flattering each other with wine. They were warm and beautiful on the surface, but each had their own agenda in their hearts.
Si Bo Nian watched with cold eyes, constantly thinking about the phone call with Lu Enxi.
Every indifferent answer she gave struck a blow to the bottom of his heart, each one more severe than the last.
Those words were undoubtedly a double-edged sword, hurting him seven points and hurting her ten points.
"Bo Nian, we are all gathered together today, but for the important matter of your marriage, haha, you should also show your attitude."
I don’t know who said what before, but grandpa suddenly named him and revealed today’s intention, dragging him into the center of the whirlpool.
Si Bo held the wine glass with his fingers and took a sip. There was endless ridicule in his eyes stained by the late autumn frost, "My marriage? Why didn't I know that I was getting married again?"
His words turned the lively dining table into a cemetery, as quiet as death.
Si Gengyao said sharply, "What did you say? Huh? You and Yutong have gone through so many things, lived and died together, and you still don't know what she thinks about you?"
Among the people present, only Dai Yutong knew what Si Bo Nian had told her clearly. He had no intention of developing a relationship with her. She was the one who followed the wishes of her parents time and time again, thinking that as long as she pushed Si Bo Nian into a corner, this would happen.
The marriage is decided.
It's not time for a showdown yet, so she remains silent for now.
Dai Jiaxiang had a smile on his face but felt cruel in his heart. Si Baonian slapped him in the face, clearly bullying him, "Master Si, are you dissatisfied with my little girl?"
Feng Mengling also said from the side, "Yu Tong suffered a lot for Mr. Si. He must have been moved. It's just that young people are bound to be duplicitous."
Yao Peiyu stared at her son, worried that he would lose his temper and not care about anyone's face. If he offended the old man, would he still be able to secure his position as CEO of KM in the future?
Which of his cousins and cousins is not watching him with eager eyes? He always follows the old man's wishes, not to mention disobeying him. He wishes he could become a roundworm in the old man's belly and do what he wants in advance.
It's just Si Bo Nian, a brat who is so stubborn that he doesn't know how to cherish feathers at all.
"Yu Tong is a gentle, generous and sensible child. Your grandpa is very fond of him. If nothing else, can you still not trust your grandpa's vision?"
Yao Peiyu didn't want to make the situation tense, so she gave her son a step up.
But Si Bo Nian had no intention of following the pole, "Miss Dai risked her life to save me. I will repay the kindness, but not in the form of marriage." He looked at Dai Yutong across the long table with eyes that only the two of them could understand.
, with a faint smile, "What do you think, Miss Dai?"
