Chapter 128: Covering Their Losses
"I object," Bai Ye Qing said imdiately. "I will not be covering for their losses!" he swore.
Jiang Hanyu tugged at his cousin's sleeve to make him sit down. The discussion between the three n in the room grew heated until Yun Qian ng swooped in to save the day.
"How about this? Let's change the last part of the clause that is causing so much problem. I can settle if you promise not to sue Venus, Miss Mo, and I, never demand anything from us again and bear any damages it does to you. I will not ask you to bear the losses incurred by Venus, Miss Mo, and ." She paused. "How does that sound?"
Li Jun was quiet, acting like he was not appeased by this settlent. But in reality, this was the result they had been aning to get from the beginning.
It was easy to dupe a fresher. The wording made it sound like Bai Ye Qing was winning almost everything, but it also stopped them from creating a fuss later on.
"Agreed." Both the opposing client and lawyer said at the sa ti.
"Great. I like finishing my work fast. Please wait for fifteen minutes and I will type up the settlent agreent. We can sign directly and get this over with," Li Jun said coldly.
"Excellent," Yun Qian ng noted. She still had twenty minutes before Mr. Bai arrived, so she didn't have to worry about it for now.
Her phone chid and she pulled it out. Her eyes lit up as she read through the ssage.
[Miss Xiong demanded I take my dication. The driver picked up for the eting. Feeling better.]
That was it.
[Settlent Agreent being written out.] She inford him.
She suddenly looked at the solitary number on top of the conversation and felt the urge to change his na. She rapidly typed into the phone. Now, the contact na read: Scoundrel Husband
Apt.
The call ca in and her eyes widened. The room had been eerily silent until it had rung. All eyes were on her.
Li Jun had a clear view of her screen and raised his brow in question. The na change had brought on more embarrassnt within the first five seconds than she had imagined.
Murphy's Law had worked again: whatever could go wrong was going wrong.
"Hey," she said imdiately after picking up the call.
"You let that ring for a long ti before picking it up," Mo Qingchen grumbled. His voice was still hoarse, and he sounded lethargic. But it was a lot better than last night.
So, he must have listened to her and slept well. She didn't need him to drop unconscious or die from overwork. He looked like the type who forgot everything else and worked himself to the bone.
"Still in a eting. Why did you call?"
Her eyes moved around the room and she saw the curious and furious expressions. It was easy to figure out who the furious one was. She wondered who Bai Ye Qing thought she was speaking to.
"I finished mine. The deal has been settled and the company incurred no losses, not that you asked or wanted to know." Qian ng wanted to laugh but her company demanded she didn't react. Mo Qingchen was sulking.
"Do you need anything?" she asked again.
"The lawyer wrote up the prenuptial agreent. I'll have it delivered to you. By when do you think you can send it back?" he asked.
"That was fast," she said softly. He really wanted to get married to her quickly. "Send it to . I'll go through it and respond within a day or two. Is that okay with you?" It should be.
It was not like he would hover over her shoulder until she handed him the executed copy of the contract.
"Perfect. I'll send it over by the evening. I just want to check it one last ti."
Qian ng heard shuffling in the background and frowned. He had been talking freely about a wedding in front of others. But here she was, in front of her enemy, hiding her biggest trump card.
Should she call herself a fool or a genius for keeping her tricks under wraps?
"Okay. I'll discuss this with you later," she insisted. "Hanging up now," she added softly.
"Hmm," was all he said. She listened to his even breathing for a couple of seconds before pulling the phone away from her ears and cutting the call.
She could see the curiosity on everyone's face.
"Is it done?" she said finally, turning to Li Jun.
"Yes. Li Min went out to get printouts. We'll notarize it after both of you have signed," he responded. He glanced at her cell phone before giving her a hard look.
She pretended not to see it.
They waited for another two minutes before Li Min pushed through the door.
"Here," she said professionally even though she was handing over the papers to her biological brother. If people saw them together, they wouldn't think they were related or on good terms. Outside company ti, they were joined at the hip, though.
Strange siblings.
Li Jun looked through it and passed the copy to Bai Ye Qing. Yun Qian ng took a look through it and signed her na imdiately without further thought.
She got exactly what she wanted.
Bai Ye Qing skimd through the agreent and followed suit in signing. They exchanged papers and that was that.
"I'll notarize these and the executive copies will be handed out. As per the information I gave you yesterday, we thought about making the announcent today. But, because of changed conditions, we will let you know when we make the final announcent." Everyone stood up and shook each other's hand.
Expect for Yun Qian ng, who refused to breathe the sa air as Bai Ye Qing. No one faulted her, either.
"Boss, Mr. Bai is here," Li Min whispered. The room was quiet enough that the words traveled to Bai Ye Qing's ears.
