"We really appreciate Lawyer Xiang’s abilities, and we want to express our apologies in this manner. We wonder if this arrangent is acceptable to Lawyer Xiang—you would not directly serve as Mark’s defense attorney, but you can be a consultant for the legal team. This ans you remain the permanent lawyer for the Lin Qi family, but since this case requires avoidance, you will temporarily withdraw from the defense of this case."
"We still hope Lawyer Xiang can continue with the original defense plan. We also hope you can help in the selection of the psychotherapist."
Mr. Lin Qi, lowering his stance like this, almost as long as he agreed, they could accept any conditions. Such generous terms made Xiang Yuan difficult to resist for a mont.
But he couldn’t help thinking of Shi Nian...
He hesitated for a mont: "Mr. Lin Qi, thank you for taking the ti to co today. However, regarding this matter... please allow to consider it."
Lin Qi sensibly stood up, shook hands with Xiang Yuan, and bid farewell.
Xiang Yuan restrained himself from personally seeing him out; he wanted to emphasize his identity as the victim’s husband.
Lin Qi went downstairs, standing in front of the elevator door waiting for the elevator. Just at that mont, Rosa walked out of the law firm and stood beside the elevator as well.
Lin Qi’s commanding presence was hard to ignore. Rosa could tell he was soone of status, so she politely nodded at Lin Qi. Lin Qi responded with a smile: "Is this lady also here at Huatai Hall for legal consultation?"
Rosa smiled: "No, I work at Huatai Hall."
Lin Qi raised his eyebrows: "I see, a beautiful lawyer."
Being praised by soone of such status, Rosa couldn’t help but feel flattered and modestly replied: "You flatter . But I’m not a lawyer; I’m the financial partner at Huatai Hall, mainly responsible for handling the company’s financial matters."
Lin Qi was even more impressed, extending his hand proactively: "To think such a young and beautiful lady is already a partner at Huatai Hall. Young talent is truly admirable, admirable."
The elevator arrived, and the two engaged in small talk as they went down together. Rosa managed to get Lin Qi’s business card, realizing he was a giant in the dostic, even global, clothing industry, which startled her greatly.
Currently, the competition between various law firms for important clients was intense, both openly and secretly. Although she had argued with Xiang Yuan a few tis, whether considering from Xiang Yuan’s perspective or for her own investnt returns, Rosa wanted to retain such a heavyweight client for the law firm.
However, Lin Qi seed quite disappointed in his conversation, even though he didn’t explicitly state what the matter was, which made Rosa very uneasy, continually asking if there was so misunderstanding, willing to resolve it as a partner at Huatai Hall.
As they talked, they had already walked to the building’s entrance. Lin Qi said, "It’s not convenient to talk here. I wonder if Miss Rosa is available. If possible, I’d like to invite Miss Rosa for a cup of coffee to further discuss."
Of course, Rosa agreed, sending a text to her secretary to cancel all her original work plans.

Shi Nian walked into "Middle Ages," standing at the entrance and looking around.
The "Middle Ages" store, true to its na, was decorated in an antique style, featuring a distinct classical Asian flavor. It wasn’t just a single style, but a mix of various Asian styles.
For example, the store’s entrance had traditional Chinese dougong brackets and upturned eaves, while the eaves were adorned with Thai-style golden spires. The porch was South Asian in style, yet walking in led directly to a small and exquisite Japanese-style garden. The Buddha statues scattered throughout the garden combined Han, Tibetan, and even elents from Hindu primitive statues.
Standing at the store entrance felt like a quick journey through ancient Asian history, making Shi Nian feel dazzled and marvelous.
She bent down to look inside: "Hello, is anyone there?"
Imdiately, a voice both aloof and coquettish sounded: "Look at , look at , look at , look at !"
Shi Nian paused for a mont to determine the direction before looking upwards. She saw a birdcage hanging from the ceiling, and the one speaking was a large white-feathered, red-billed parrot!
Seeing that Shi Nian had finally accurately spotted it, the parrot arrogantly preened its feathers while flapping its wings and asked haughtily, "Am I handso?"
Shi Nian laughed so hard she nearly lost her footing, nodding earnestly: "Handso, very handso."
Only then was the parrot satisfied and pointed its beak inside: "Good girl. Now go in, go in 7."
Stylishly, it didn’t say "go in," instead pronouncing it like "go in 7," akin to an arrogant old eunuch.
Shi Nian suppressed her laughter and walked in, thinking with each step: This is Tang Yansheng’s store. Maybe because each generation of their na includes "Yan," even the store assistant isn’t human but an equally arrogant bird like the males in their family.
