4: Chapter 4: Follow the Law School’s Rules

In the cafeteria.

All the students crowded around.

Because Jia ili was considered a beauty of the law school, especially those eye-catching long legs — many male students worshipped her as their dream goddess, fantasizing countless nights about caressing those limbs in their dreams.

And now, the goddess Jia ili was facing off against Zhang Wei.

The latter had recently created a big stir, and nurous versions of the incident were circulating throughout the campus.

One version was that Zhang Wei had a secret crush on Jia ili, and upon learning that the goddess had chosen a tall, rich, and handso guy, he couldn’t accept it and, in disappointnt, chose to “Remake” …

Although this version seed sowhat far-fetched, and the law school was a place of reason.

But in university, rumors and gossip were abundant.

So journalism students even fanned the flas behind the scenes, concocting all sorts of stories, so even more outrageous.

Before long, the onlookers took action, surrounding the involved parties completely.

This was truly a case of thunder striking the earth and Halley’s cot crashing into Blue Star.

So had already started recording videos, others had opened chat windows, ready to share the live event with friends.

Still others had begun drafting their social dia posts, only a click away from sending.

But Zhang Wei, at the center of the maelstrom, remained calm.

As for the appearance of Jia ili, Zhang Wei wasn’t exactly surprised.

After all, the law school was neither too large nor too small, everyone was a classmate, seeing each other both coming and going.

He figured a day would co when he’d et Jia ili, yet he hadn’t expected that on his very first day back, he’d run into her in the cafeteria.

Compared to the original owner of the body, Zhang Wei’s reaction was much calr.

“Hello, Jia ili, classmate Jia,” he said.

He nodded to her, then returned to his seat and continued shovelling down a couple more bites of rice.

This scene rendered everyone, including Yuan Dong, completely speechless.

What happened to the promised thunder?

And where was the fire from the earth?

How can you be so calm, weren’t you her loyal follower?

The first ti you see your goddess, you just greet her from afar, and then nothing?

How are we supposed to share this on social dia, how are we supposed to live stream for others?

This…is unacceptable!

Instantly, the crowd beca restless, so even starting to cause a commotion.

In the midst of all this, perhaps only Xia Qianyue remained unfazed, for she had spoken with Zhang Wei at the hospital and therefore knew that his attitude towards Jia ili had changed.

But she was surprised too, at how Zhang Wei could be so nonchalant towards a girl he used to have a crush on.

His gaze was like that towards a stranger — a brief glance, a casual greeting, and then Zhang Wei continued with his al, as though this girl’s importance didn’t even compare to the dish in front of him.

So could accept it, but others could not.

Although Jia ili also felt sowhat resistant to Zhang Wei’s reaction, as the belle of the law school, she still had her pride to uphold.

So she gave her best friend a look, and the latter understood imdiately, jumping into the fray.

“Zhang Wei, what do you an by this?

Seeing our ili, and you’re putting on this attitude?”

“Do you know how much pressure our ili has been under because of your drama, don’t you have anything to say for yourself!”

This best friend, hands on hips, took on the manner of a harridan making a scene, seeming sowhat unreasonable.

And Zhang Wei?

He just took a couple more bites of his rice, then picked up his soup bowl and drained it in one gulp, contentedly belching afterwards.

Comfortable~

The dismissive gesture left her best friend feeling as if her punches were landing on cotton, powerless.

“Zhang Wei, you…”

“Student Feng Li, the cafeteria is a place for eating, loud noises are prohibited, that’s written in the school rules.”

Her best friend wanted to say sothing more, but Zhang Wei cut her off.

“Moreover, rudely disturbing others while they’re eating is also quite unethical behavior.

As students of the law school, shouldn’t we maintain a basic level of decency?”

As he spoke, he spread his hands, “Unless you don’t intend to behave like a human, then we can pretend I didn’t say anything.”

Once these words were spoken, the whole place was abuzz again.

“Pfft, can’t hold it in anymore, I’m gonna laugh!”

Xia Qianyue, in particular, sitting opposite Zhang Wei, had the most exaggerated expression.

She couldn’t help but cover her mouth and let out a laugh right there.

After that, laughter spread through the surrounding crowd as well.

They all got the joke in those words just now.

At this mont, Feng Li’s face turned extrely ugly.

She hadn’t expected that Zhang Wei’s few words would indirectly scold her for being not human.

The initial preaching was just a setup for the final killer line.

“Good one, Zhang Wei, how dare you insult , you…”

“What can’t I dare?

Or do you, Feng Li, think you’re inherently superior, that you can step on

and I can’t fight back?

You’re far too vain!”

Before Feng Li could speak, Zhang Wei stepped forward and looked down on her with an extrely disdainful gaze.

That look of disgust and air of contempt completely overwheld Feng Li’s arrogance.

She even took a small step back, her calves trembling slightly.

“Just as I thought, a dog that relies on the power of its master!” Zhang Wei realized, with a cold sneer on his face.

As for why he treated Feng Li this way, there was a reason for that too.

He rembered when he was fond of Jia ili, the most hurtful remarks ca from this particular best friend of hers.

Feng Li, taking advantage of being Jia ili’s best friend, often gave Zhang Wei the cold shoulder, always comparing him to Yuan Dong and criticizing him relentlessly.

Yuan Dong also enjoyed showing off in front of the ladies.

He would embarrass Zhang Wei at every opportunity, including, but not limited to, verbal put-downs, deliberately flaunting his luxury car, the luxurious apartnt bought with his parents’ money, and the expensive jewelry he often dealt with.

“Zhang Wei!”

Seeing her best friend intimidated by Zhang Wei’s presence, Jia ili knew she had to step in.

She naturally chose to support her best friend, so she walked over to Feng Li’s side.

As for Zhang Wei, he was just a lapdog; she had plenty of those at her disposal.

“Zhang Wei, I know you’re upset, and I’ve seen all that you’ve done, but how should I put it, I’ve always seen you as a classmate…

Zhang Wei, you are a good person, but we’re really not suitable for each other.”

With these words, she went over to Yuan Dong’s side and nestled into his arms on the spot.

“Zhang Wei, you see, Yuan Dong and I are true love.

It’s impossible for us.

You should stop harboring those thoughts.

As for Feng Li, she was just looking out for my best interest when she said those things to you.

If you want revenge, co at

directly, don’t take it out on Feng Li, she’s innocent!”

As she spoke, Jia ili’s eyes welled up with tears, making a pitiable expression.

It must be said, the woman’s acting skills were not bad.

With her already notable looks and now making such a gesture, along with that pitiable tone, she triggered the protective instincts of the male onlookers, who then began to look at Zhang Wei with disapproval.

“Not a bad move, but the acting could use so improvent!”

And Zhang Wei?

He saw through Jia ili’s ploy in a fraction of a second.

Tears are a woman’s greatest weapon.

This woman put on the guise of a victim and, in just a few words, portrayed Zhang Wei as a petty man who, spurned by love, sought revenge.

“Zhang Wei, I thought you were different, I didn’t expect you to be such a person.

If you want to take revenge on Xiaoli, you’ll have to get through

first.

I won’t let you bully her no matter what!”

Yuan Dong also imdiately added to the drama, righteously denouncing Zhang Wei and holding Jia ili tightly in his arms.

Compared to Jia ili, his acting skills needed quite a bit of polishing.

Zhang Wei saw that even though Yuan Dong put on a serious face, his hand wasn’t behaving at all, continuously stroking Jia ili’s slender waist, causing her to instinctively resist.

“Exactly, what’s so great about bullying us girls, if you have the guts, act like a real man!” Feng Li also ca to her senses and chid in.

At this, everyone began to see Zhang Wei as soone who only picked on the weak and targeted girls.

The girls nearby looked at Zhang Wei with contempt.

“What are you talking about, what’s wrong with Zhang Wei, is there a problem with him seeking justice for you!”

Yet just then, the only person in the crowd defending Zhang Wei, Xia Qianyue, suddenly spoke up.

She couldn’t hold back her fiery temper upon seeing everyone’s disdain for Zhang Wei and, with a “swoosh,” stood up.

Xia Qianyue walked to Zhang Wei’s side, looked at Jia ili with fiery emotion, and said, “Because of you, Zhang Wei nearly lost his life, yet you have never cared about him.

He has tutored you for two years—do you know how much he prepared for your studies?

Did all his efforts over these two years go to the dogs?”

“For you, he not only had to study for himself, but also prepare your study plans, learning objectives, and tutoring directions.

Every ti your assessnt results ca out, he would review the questions thrice, then analyze the reasons you answered incorrectly and summarize strategies for similar questions.

Even if objective questions required rote morization, he never failed to recite laws and principles with you and tirelessly explained whenever you had questions.

As for subjective questions, he helped you make analogies and repeatedly marked up the textbook until it was almost like a doodle book.

His notebooks were originally written in his ssy handwriting for his own use, but for your sake, he even took pains to practice his penmanship, just so you wouldn’t have trouble reading his writing.

Do you think he had it easy?”

As Xia Qianyue spoke, her eyes reddened.

Everyone was startled to learn about Zhang Wei’s hardship.

“Was I really such a simp before?”

Even Zhang Wei himself touched his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Even though it was his forr self who had been the simp, the fiery stares around him made even his thick skin feel breached.

Jia ili never expected the usually silly Xia Qianyue to stand up and speak for Zhang Wei.

She could see that Zhang Wei’s actions were sycophantic enough, but public opinion seed to shift in his favor.

She couldn’t let the situation turn against her, so she hurriedly tried to save face, “Zhang Wei, I acknowledge all the good things you’ve done for , but it’s absolutely impossible between us because you…”

“You’ve admitted it, that’s great then!”

But at that mont, Zhang Wei raised his voice and cut Jia ili off.

Jia ili was even more taken aback that Zhang Wei, who had always adored her, dared to interrupt her like a brute.

Didn’t he always treat her words as gospel?

Every ti she spoke, he would prick up his ears for fear of missing a single word, but now how could he…

“Jia ili, you said you’ve taken all my good deeds to heart, but I feel that’s not enough…”

Zhang Wei paused here, noticing everyone looking at him, and then said with a smile, “I think a one-sided effort is not asking for nothing in return.

Sotis a necessary reward is needed.”

He smiled slightly at Xia Qianyue beside him, then pointing at Jia ili, continued, “Just like this ti, Xia Qianyue has said a lot, and I feel my efforts deserve serious consideration, not to be dismissed with a careless and irrelevant comnt!”

“Zhang Wei, what do you want!?” Jia ili couldn’t hold back and imdiately challenged.

“It’s simple, we will do it according to our Law School’s rules!”

Zhang Wei, seeing everyone’s attention on him, raised a finger and announced loudly, “My efforts over these two years are not worthless, and I am here to claim my rightful labor compensation from Jia ili!”

“It’s not about emotional issues, but about the efforts that belong to , what I rightfully deserve.

I am now formally submitting a legal claim to seek reparation from Jia ili for the tutoring I’ve provided her over the past two years!”

This ti, it wasn’t just the entire room that was in an uproar, but a bombshell had been dropped.

No one could have imagined that Zhang Wei would announce a lawsuit against Jia ili in front of all the students in the cafeteria.

Moreover, the reason for the lawsuit wasn’t about emotions or effort, but about the labor compensation for tutoring lessons—an angle that had caught many Law School students off guard.

“You, you’re going to sue ?” Jia ili’s eyes widened in shock.

Yuan Dong was just as astonished and quickly responded, “Impossible, Zhang Wei, no one from our year has taken the bar exam yet, let alone obtained a practice certificate, how can you initiate a lawsuit?”

“Even if you want to hire a lawyer, do you have the money?”

Feng Li also aptly added, “Right, you poor sod, you’re still in debt, who’s going to represent you in court for free!”

Zhang Wei just smiled nonchalantly, “Have you forgotten?

I said we’d use the Law School’s rules, naturally, it will be handled within the school.

You’ve all participated in the moot courtroom, haven’t you?”

“Moot courtroom?”

“Moot courtroom!”

“It’s actually, the moot courtroom…”

The onlooking students all understood, Zhang Wei was planning to use his conflict with Jia ili to call for a moot court debate at the school.

Compared to the traditional mock trials in moot courts, which use classic cases recorded in textbooks, to be honest, many students are tired of these cases, and their plots are all pretty outdated.

This ti around, the fact that Zhang Wei is suing Jia ili, well, that in itself is novel enough and clearly not sothing that can be compared with those stale cases.

“Jia ili, I’ll be going to see the advisor later and then request the school to initiate a moot court.

I am the plaintiff and I will also be representing myself as the lawyer.

If you all are scared, you can ask the school to withdraw the lawsuit.

However, I’m looking forward to our confrontation in court.

If you really are scared, then pretend I never said anything.

As law students, I’m sure you have your own pride, right?”

After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he pulled Xia Qianyue, who was still in a daze, and walked straight through the crowd, out of the cafeteria.

In the room, countless students watched the scene unfold, and then the crowd began to disperse.

“Quick, quick, notify the journalism departnt, Zhang Wei is suing the belle of the departnt, and a moot court will be convened!”

“Wow, this is really big news; I haven’t even finished my al, but now I’m already full with this drama!”

“Exactly.

Zhang Wei might not look like much, but I didn’t expect him to pull such a move right after his return.

Our friends from the departnt and chat groups won’t lack gossip today!”

“I’m from the journalism departnt, and I want to write a piece right now, but how should I title it?

‘Departnt belle gets sued,’ doesn’t it lack impact?”

“What ‘departnt belle gets sued’?

You should write it like this: ‘Shocking!

Poor boy dumped by ex-girlfriend, mocked by her current boyfriend, he actually proposed that sort of thing in front of thousands!'”

“Good, brother, you should co work at our news departnt tomorrow!”

“Get lost, I’m in the track and field departnt!”

The students in the cafeteria ca quickly and left even quicker.

They couldn’t wait to spread the news of what had happened there.

And in the cafeteria, as the main characters, Jia ili, Yuan Dong, and their friend, Feng Li, were already being ignored.

…

At the Law School, on the third floor of the office building.

Once they were absolutely certain that Zhang Wei wasn’t joking, Yuan Dong led Jia ili and Feng Li to find Professor Zheng.

Professor Zheng was an elderly professor at the Law School, his hair partially gray and thinning, with a portly figure.

When Yuan Dong and the others ca looking for him, he was fondling a purple clay teapot, unable to put it down.

“Professor Zheng, that Zhang Wei, he actually dares…”

“Calm down, it’s just a moot court, isn’t it?

The departnts hold several a year.

You should have an idea about these things by now; it’s a great opportunity for you all to learn by observation, and surely the school won’t cancel it.”

Professor Zheng seed unfazed; after all, as a law professor, he had encountered countless cases, and in Dongfang Capital, he had his na on various legal institutions and companies as an honorary or a guest professor.

A mock trial is, when it cos down to it, just a practical course—there’s nothing bad about it.

“But, this lawsuit is different; Zhang Wei seems…”

“Zhang Wei?

Is that the Zhang Wei who broke the teacup set you gave ?

He’s still in the hospital, isn’t he?”

Yuan Dong hadn’t expected Professor Zheng to change the topic so abruptly and could only respond instinctively, “Yes, that’s him, he’s been discharged!”

“Hmm, regarding this person, Zhang Wei, do you understand him?

Tell

about him.”

Professor Zheng humd coldly, continuing to play with his purple clay teapot.

Jia ili and Feng Li exchanged glances, and it was Jia ili who spoke, “Professor, I didn’t expect Zhang Wei to dare sue .

He always seed so honest before, timid, with a weak character, and a bit of a yes-man.

When we would study in the library and it got crowded, he wouldn’t even dare to speak…”

“Well then, that’s settled.

A person with such a personality suddenly participating in a moot court will probably not even be able to speak up in court.

Besides, Zhang Wei has never participated in a moot court before; his experience is clearly zero.

Are you really afraid of a student who hasn’t even had an internship?”

Professor Zheng continued to occupy himself with the object in his hands, his eyelids not even lifting.

Looking at Yuan Dong, Jia ili, and Feng Li turned their gaze to him.

With no other option, Yuan Dong spoke again, “Professor, our main concern is the negative impact this matter could have.

After all, it’s not just our Law School, but the neighboring Business School, School of International Law, and the faculties of Humanities, Finance, Business, and so forth, they all know about it.

If it isn’t handled properly…”

“Hmmph, so you want to handle the situation seamlessly and win decisively without giving rise to gossip, right?

That’s easy to manage!”

Professor Zheng set down the teapot and tapped the table.

“Just in ti, your senior Zhang Hui is handling affairs in the school these days.

Get her to be your courtroom lawyer, that will do!”

“Zhang Hui?

Do you an the Zhang Hui who, through your recomndation, has joined one of the Top Ten Law Firms, Yongjie Law Firm?”

“Exactly, Zhang Hui has been interning at the firm for a year now, with plenty of experience participating in court hearings.

She is definitely not soone a student can match.

With her helping you, Zhang Wei stands no chance to win!”

Hearing Professor Zheng’s words, confidence surged in the eyes of Yuan Dong and Jia ili.
