Chapter 982: Mo Bai Side Story 72, then give a kiss Chapter 982: Mo Bai Side Story 72, then give a kiss In the afternoon, Mo Weiyi arrived at Lu Chenyu’s office.
Soon, a young male student walked in.
“Li Jinyang, from now on, Lawyer Mo will be your ntoring attorney,” soone said.
Li Jinyang hurriedly bowed respectfully, “Hello, Lawyer Mo.”
Mo Weiyi glanced at Lu Chenyu and could only nod, “Hello.”
After Li Jinyang left, she frowned, “Master, I ntioned before that I was looking for an assistant. Why did you find an intern?”
And a ntoring attorney at that…
She felt that she was the one who needed ntoring!
“Li Jinyang is twenty-one years old and a graduate student at the Law School of Nancheng University. He has perford well at school, and besides, he also knows Taekwondo,” Lu Chenyu explained.
Mo Weiyi: “…”
He really doesn’t look it with his delicate and tender appearance.
“Young kids have a lot of drive. Even though he’s an intern, he can handle an assistant’s duties too and anwhile ensure your personal safety.”
Mo Weiyi’s eyelids twitched, “Master, thank you so very much.”
“You’re welco,” Lu Chenyu said as he leisurely sipped from his thermos.
**
In the afternoon, Mo Weiyi stood up, “Xiaoli, get ready, we’ll leave in 10 minutes.”
“Yes, Lawyer Mo,” Li Jinyang responded respectfully.
…
In the won’s restroom, Xia Chuyun said with a beaming smile, “Wow, Weiyi, you got the most handso intern in this batch as your assistant.”
Mo Weiyi was applying makeup in front of the mirror.
She carefully finished applying her lipstick.
Perfect!
Zipping up her makeup bag, she said, “If you like him, I can speak with Master for you.”
“Forget it, I’m fine on my own.”
Hearing this, Mo Weiyi looked at her, “By the way, Yunyun, what do you think of He Bowen as a person?”
“Handso!”
“I’m asking about his character!” Mo Weiyi said exasperatedly, “Besides, is he really more handso than Rong An?”
Xia Chuyun: “…”
“I still think Rong An is more handso.” Mo Weiyi relentlessly praised her bodyguard, “Rong An is one hundred eighty-five centiters tall, has a great physique, a handso face, and also skilled hands, able to protect a woman. Besides that, he can code, earns good money, isn’t he more reliable than that smiling tiger? Of course, the most handso is still my Xiaobai…”
“Didn’t you say you had a diation at four o’clock?” Xia Chuyun reminded her, “It’s almost half-past three now.”
“Almost forgot.” Mo Weiyi grabbed her things and turned around, “I’m off then, bye.”
“Bye.”
After Mo Weiyi left, Xia Chuyun stood in the won’s restroom, slowly sighing.
**
In the car, Mo Weiyi showed the case files to the intern.
In less than 10 minutes, Li Jinyang had finished reading them. “Lawyer Mo, I heard that the opposing counsel is He Dazhuang?”
“Yes.”
“Lawyer Mo, you are really impressive. He Dazhuang is a legend, but looking at this agreent, you don’t seem to be at a disadvantage at all. How do you manage that?”
Mo Weiyi raised an eyebrow, “What I strive for are the legal rights and interests of the parties. Isn’t that simple?”
“But He Dazhuang rarely concedes in an agreent, and this ti his client even agreed to personally apologize…”
For a well-known man to personally admit to his ex-wife that he had cheated and hurt her…
Honestly, it’s really hard for most people to agree to such a demand.
“That’s not He Dazhuang making a concession, is it?” Mo Weiyi countered, “It was Mr. Wang who did wrong, and it’s Mr. Wang who needs to apologize, not He Dazhuang who’s just his representative lawyer.”
“That’s true, but I think without He Dazhuang’s persuasion, Mr. Wang wouldn’t have made such a big concession.”
Mo Weiyi nodded.
She admitted that He Bowen was indeed impressive, just as the rumors said, whether in his speech or actions…y impeccably tight-lipped, always carrying a smile.
But in a lawsuit, it ultimately cos down to the pursuit of the parties’ interests.
She had done her utmost to persuade Ms. Xu to make the biggest concession, and reaching a diation that made everyone happy was a win-win.
…
The two arrived at the diation room on ti.
The others quickly followed.
The parties and their lawyers sat on opposite sides of the table, and the diation officially began.
Mo Weiyi took the lead, outlining and explaining Ms. Xu ilin’s demands.
When she had finished speaking, Ms. Xu ilin lifted her face, waiting for Mr. Wang’s apology.
However, Mr. Wang scoffed, “Lawyer He, you start.”
He Bowen pushed a gray folder forward, “Lawyer Mo, Ms. Xu, please look at this first.”
Ms. Xu ilin glanced at her lawyer.
Mo Weiyi reached out, took the folder, and upon opening it and seeing the content, her fingers tightened sharply.
At this mont, Ms. Xu ilin saw it too, her expression drastically changed, and she slamd her hand on the table, standing up abruptly, “Wang Runfa! You dare to hire soone to secretly photograph !”
“Hmph!” Wang Runfa also stood up, “If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it yourself! Last ti I told you that you were keeping a gigolo, and you still wouldn’t admit it! Sure enough, these past few days, I had soone follow you and they took photos. How can you be so eager? You accuse of infidelity all day long, but what about you? Aren’t you also sneaking around! Lawyer He, in this case, can I also sue her?”
“Of course,” He Bowen smiled slightly, “but, a day of marriage is followed by a lifeti of grace. If Ms. Xu agrees to the terms we propose, there’s no need for a court case, and it can be settled through negotiation.”
“Did you hear that?” Wang Runfa imdiately laughed even more triumphantly, “Mr. Mo, it’s really not that I am uncooperative, but now the situation has changed. Clearly, Xu ilin is sneaking around behind my back, and the evidence is conclusive! I cannot swallow this loss in silence! So, the proposal you ntioned earlier, there’s no way I can agree to it!”
**
Leaving the diation room, Mo Weiyi imdiately asked, “Ms. Xu, I asked you before, and you vehently denied having an affair. What is all this about these photos now?”
“Mr. Mo, I thought…since there was no evidence, no one would know. Who could have guessed that Wang Runfa would initially agree to you, then send people to follow ! I really didn’t know anything at all!”
“I am your lawyer, and you even lied to ; how can I help you? You don’t trust at all!” Mo Weiyi was truly angry.
She had spent all of her ti thinking and preparing for this case these past few days, even consulting many people.
Never did she expect to be suffering setbacks at ho.
“It must have been that He Dazhuang’s doing!” Xu ilin hastily said, “When I first heard that Wang Runfa was spending a lot of money on He Dazhuang, I knew this lawsuit would be tough. That’s why I agreed to compromise when you asked to, but now… ”
“What does this have to do with Lawyer He?” Mo Weiyi raised her voice, “This whole thing is because you lied to in advance! It led to being unprepared! Do you understand?”
Xu ilin looked guilty, “Then… what should we do now?”
Mo Weiyi took a deep breath, “Do you know who Mr. Wang’s mistress is?”
“Yes, that bitch works as a director at the TV station! They t at an event three years ago, and I heard that bitch is now pregnant. That’s why he’s in such a rush to divorce !”
“Later, give her na and departnt.”
“Sure, sure,” Xu ilin said.
Having finally managed to send Xu ilin off, Li Jinyang spoke up from the side, “Mr. Mo, I have an idea.”
“What is it?” Mo Weiyi took out her phone, preparing to call a car.
“We could also hire a private detective to follow Mr. Wang and take pictures and videos of him with the mistress. Oh, and we could even install a pinhole cara in his house. As long as we have evidence, I don’t believe…”
“No!”
Such tactics might work on those scumbags, but Mo Weiyi was a lawyer now, and there are certain lines that must not be crossed, otherwise it could easily…
“Why not? Didn’t He Dazhuang do just that?” Li Jinyang didn’t understand, “Since he can let his client illegally obtain evidence, we can do the sa…”
“Does a dog eat shit because others do?”
Li Jinyang: “……”
She was pretty, with a delicate and refined air about her, clearly a young lady from a wealthy family.
Ever since she ca in as an intern, people in the law firm had quietly discussed this ‘vase lawyer,’ and Li Jinyang always thought she only got her position through her looks and family background, but right now… he was truly taken aback.
“Without my permission, do not act rashly!” Mo Weiyi said sternly.
“Yes, yes…” Li Jinyang nodded hastily.
Mo Weiyi was about to speak again.
“Mr. Mo.”
Mo Weiyi turned around, and sure enough.
He Bowen, carrying a briefcase and smiling, stood not far away.
Li Jinyang hurriedly greeted him, “Hello, Lawyer He.”
He Bowen nodded slightly at him, then walked over with long strides, “What you said is right, Mr. Mo. Lawyers have their standards, things they will do and things they won’t. Young man, never act impulsively.”
Li Jinyang: “…”
Mo Weiyi also: “…”
He had heard the whole conversation just now.
“Are you two headed back to Yurui?” He Bowen still maintained a warm smile, “I’ll give you a ride.”
“No need.”
“Okay then!”
Mo Weiyi glanced at Li Jinyang.
This kid…
“It’s almost ti to get off work anyway. I was thinking of having dinner with Chenyu, let’s go,” He Bowen said, carrying his briefcase forward.
“Mr. Mo…” Li Jinyang smiled ingratiatingly.
Mo Weiyi coldly responded, “Don’t take initiative next ti.”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Mo…” Li Jinyang was puzzled, not understanding how rely catching a ride could make soone so angry?
**
Arriving at the car, Mo Weiyi said, “You sit in the front.”
Li Jinyang was naturally happy, “Sure!”
Mo Weiyi got into the back seat.
He Bowen drove a car worth over a million; the interior was clean and tidy, with no odors.
After getting in the car, Li Jinyang spoke, “There’s an event at the school tonight, it’s already five o’clock, could I head back to school first?”
Mo Weiyi had previously studied law at Nancheng University. The school and the law firm were indeed in opposite directions, and going back and forth was a waste of ti.
She nodded, “Alright, you go straight back to school later.”
“Thank you, Mr. Mo.”
“You’re a student at Nancheng University?” He Bowen, who was driving, suddenly asked.
Mo Weiyi remained silent.
Li Jinyang imdiately nodded, “Yes, I’m in my first year of grad school. I heard that He Dazhuang is also a guest professor at our school, is that right?”
“This year, President Chu has been inviting persistently. It was hard to decline, so I agreed. However, I am too busy with work, I can only give a lecture once a month.”
Weiyi: “…”
Listen to that intentionally subdued yet clearly boastful tone…
So Versailles!
“Great!” Li Jinyang exclaid, “He Dazhuang, I must attend your next class! I have so many questions I want to ask you!”
Watching his excited back of the head, Mo Weiyi really wanted to grab a frying pan and hit him, asking who exactly was his ntor. Complinting the opposing lawyer in the case like that, it was just too much…
The car soon arrived at the entrance of Nancheng University, and He Bowen stopped the car to let Li Jinyang out.
Once they set off again, the car fell quiet.
Weiyi was busy chatting with friends in a group chat on his phone.
Su Wanwan: [I asked my husband, and he said that what Mango is best at is hypnosis to treat people.]
Weiyi: [That’s amazing? No side effects, right?]
Su Wanwan: [He’s an internationally certified master of hypnosis! Don’t worry!]
Shi Huan: [About that, I had amnesia before, right? I nearly went to find a hypnotherapist too.]
Su Wanwan: [Xiao Yebai’s situation is different from yours, you had a cerebral hemorrhage, Yebai’s issue is purely psychological.]
Weiyi asked: [Are there any precautions?]
Su Wanwan: [Nothing special, Yebai will go in and talk to the doctor alone, just wait outside.]
Weiyi: [How long will it take?]
Su Wanwan: [My sister-in-law went many tis, each session was quite long, about twice a week, and it took over a month until one day she suddenly rembered.]
Weiyi: […]
Twice a week for over a month?
That long?
Suddenly the car stopped.
Weiyi thought they had arrived, but when he looked up, he frowned imdiately.
“Sorry.” He Bowen unbuckled his seatbelt, “My aunt just sent a ssage, there’s a docunt she needs to pick up, you don’t mind, do you, Miss Mo?”
Since he was getting a lift, Weiyi said, “No problem.”
…
There was a teahouse by the roadside.
After He Bowen got out of the car, a middle-aged woman in her forties ca out.
They spoke for a few monts and then started walking this way.
“Aunt, no need to see off; it’s windy outside…”
“Wait!” The aunt grabbed He Bowen’s arm, her eyes like radar, “Who is that girl in the car?”
He Bowen simply replied, “A friend.”
“Girlfriend?” The aunt’s eyes lit up, “Oh, then why didn’t you let her co out and greet , you child really… ”
“Aunt, you misunderstand, she’s just a friend.”
“I don’t believe your nonsense!” The aunt said, about to move closer.
…
Weiyi sat in the car, watching those two outside.
What’s going on?
Why are those two grabbing each other?
Eventually, after a few minutes of dragging, He Bowen finally got in the car.
Weiyi glanced at the ti, “Lawyer He, if you’re busy, I can take a taxi back.”
“Sorry.” He Bowen started the car, “Elders are just enthusiastic, it’s sorted now.”
Weiyi nodded and pulled out his phone to make a call.
The phone rang twice before it was picked up, a man’s deep and pleasant voice ca through, “Weiyi.”
“Xiaobai.”
The woman’s suddenly coquettish voice made the man driving the car raise his eyebrows montarily.
“I’ve just finished what I was doing, about 10 more minutes and I’ll be at the law firm.”
“I understand.”
“Also, I have an appointnt at 7 PM, we might not have ti for dinner.”
“Then we’ll eat when we get ho.”
“That’s the only option.”
He had planned to have dinner with Xiaobai after work, then go to see the psychologist together.
But the diation didn’t go smoothly, and so much ti had already been wasted on the road…
Thinking this, Weiyi couldn’t help but look up in complaint.
Just his luck, He Bowen happened to glance at her through the rearview mirror at that mont.
Their eyes t in the mirror.
Weiyi: “…”
Awkward!
She hurriedly looked away.
It was just too awkward and she couldn’t help but cough lightly a couple of tis.
As for He Bowen, the corners of his mouth slightly raised before his gaze returned and he quietly drove the car.
“What happened?” Xiao Yebai asked over the phone.
“Oh, nothing,” Mo Weiyi said, and suddenly yelled, “Husband!”
Suddenly yelling “Husband”?
Xiao Yebai on the phone: “…”
He Bowen also raised his eyebrows again up ahead.
A second later, Xiao Yebai asked her in a deep, gentle voice, “What happened?”
“Nothing,” Mo Weiyi grinned, “just… suddenly missed you.”
Xiao Yebai let out a low chuckle, then said, “I missed you too.”
And upon hearing this, Mo Weiyi felt even sweeter inside.
If there hadn’t been another man in the car…
She said, “Alright, let’s stop here, be careful driving, stay safe.”
“Mm.”
**
Below the office of Yurui Law Firm, a black Bentley was parked by the roadside.
Xiao Yebai sat in the driver’s seat, and after hanging up the phone, he started looking straight ahead, waiting.
The cabin was very quiet; the man sat like a sculpture, maintaining the sa pose for a long ti.
It wasn’t until 10 minutes later that a silver-gray sedan slowly passed the Bentley and stopped in front.
The rear door opened, and Mo Weiyi ca out first.
Today in Nancheng, there was a north wind of about level three or four, and upon getting out of the car, her full head of dark hair instantly got swept up by the wind.
The driver’s side door opened, and a young, scholarly-looking man with glasses got out.
The two seed to be talking.
Soon the young man got into the car, and the sedan slowly drove away.
Mo Weiyi stood there, gathered her ssy hair, and started making a phone call.
Xiao Yebai remained motionless.
The phone in the car rang.
He didn’t answer it until Mo Weiyi turned her face and looked over, then his eyes lit up and he imdiately jogged over.
“Xiaobai!”
Mo Weiyi opened the passenger door, “When did you get here?”
If she hadn’t felt that soone was watching her and specifically looked around, she probably wouldn’t have noticed Xiaobai’s car parked on this side.
Because his car was behind two other vehicles, it was completely obscured, so she hadn’t noticed at all.
Xiao Yebai’s thin lips curved up, “Who was that just now?”
“Who?” Mo Weiyi paused for a mont, then realized, “Oh, you an him? He Bowen, the lawyer I’m fighting the lawsuit with.”
Xiao Yebai slightly raised an eyebrow, “Was today’s diation smooth?”
His implication being, otherwise why would your opponent’s lawyer drive you back?
“Don’t even ntion it,” Mo Weiyi imdiately started to complain, “This Lawyer He is a real hypocrite! He looks decent on the surface, but behind the scenes, God knows how many benefits he got from Mr. Wang, coming up with foul advice, even getting soone to follow my client. It just infuriates …”
She rattled on at length.
And Xiao Yebai just quietly listened.
“Forget about him,” Mo Weiyi finally finished her rant, her eyes smiling as she looped her arm through his, “When did you co here? Why didn’t you call when you saw ?”
Xiao Yebai said, “I thought you were in a discussion.”
“Discussing what? I barely exchanged a few words with him!” Mo Weiyi looked closely at the handso profile of the man, barely able to conceal her infatuation, “Xiaobai, why have you been so good to lately?”
Picking her up every day, rain or shine, arriving early and worried about disturbing her discussions with others, so just patiently waiting in the car for her…
“Is being good to you a bad thing?” Xiao Yebai asked quietly.
“Of course not.”
It’s just…
It seed almost too good to be real.
Lately, Xiaobai was really treating her with excessive kindness.
“In that case,” Xiao Yebai suddenly moved his face closer, “then kiss .”
His handso, three-dinsional features were suddenly very close.
The impact of his beauty made Mo Weiyi involuntarily smile and she retorted, “I won’t!”
Xiao Yebai shifted his gaze, “Why not?”
Mo Weiyi playfully responded, “It’s already six o’clock, did you forget we have an appointnt with the psychologist? What if we are late…”
“We have ti,” Xiao Yebai interrupted her, his deep voice had an indescribable seductive charm, “Kiss or not?”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
She quickly glanced at the car windows.
The car was parked just below the law firm, and being after work hours, it was very possible that any colleague coming down to hail a cab could see them…
She withdrew her gaze, resignedly leaned towards him.
She had intended to quickly peck him and be done with it, but just as her lips touched his thin lips, the back of her head was suddenly clasped by his palm.
Xiao Yebai held her jaw with one hand and her head with the other, engaging her in a deep, lingering… French kiss.
