Capítulo 693: Chapter 693: Do You Think Tang Li Would Still Believe Your Lies?

As soon as the apartnt door closed, Ethan was already breaking out in a cold sweat.

He hadn’t anticipated that such a third-rate school would actually sue him over such a trivial matter; the issue was, his so-called movie investnt was indeed a sham, and once the lawsuit proceeded, he was sure to lose.

It wouldn’t be as simple as just paying compensation then.

Whether it was business fraud or the cri of human trafficking, if convicted, he might have to spend years in prison here.

He knew that there was no extradition treaty between S country and the United States.

Thus, if he got entangled in a lawsuit in S country without any strong backing, he would truly beco a sacrificial fish on the chopping block.

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead; Ethan hurried back to his bedroom to open his laptop and check his email.

The inbox was empty; Lai Shengxia had still not replied.

Ethan’s face grew even paler, and with gritted teeth, he donned a hat and, supporting himself with a cane, left the apartnt to look for a public phone booth.

He was grateful that he rembered Lai Shengxia’s cellphone number.

Once he dialed the number, it rang not even twice before Lai Shengxia answered: “Who is this?”

Her voice was clear and cheerful; Ethan heard a burst of laughter and chatter, his hand gripping the handset tightened, he had been hanging by a thread these past few days, yet the culprit was living carefree and at ease!

Considering his predicant, he couldn’t afford to fall out with Lai Shengxia and could only start with a lowered stance: “It’s , Ethan, Miss Lai, the Art College is going to sue for business fraud and for trafficking in won and children. I don’t have many acquaintances here and have no idea what to do.”

Lai Shengxia stepped out of the private room with her cellphone in hand.

Upon hearing Ethan’s words, her initial reaction was to rebuke: “If you could control your lower half, there wouldn’t be all these issues after. You’re asking for help, who should I turn to? I sought you out for work, not to clean up your ss!”

“I know, it’s my fault,” Ethan’s spine bent further, his tone increasingly ek, “Just help handle this, Miss Lai, and I will take Tang Li out of the country, she—”

Lai Shengxia scoffed: “Do you really think Tang Li would still believe your lies? Ethan, you’re nearly thirty years old, been around the block for over a decade, how can you still be so naive?”

With that, Lai Shengxia’s tone grew colder: “I’ve still got so matters to attend to here. As for the things you ntioned, we can discuss them when I return.”

Before Ethan could respond, he was t with the busy tone from the handset.

He slamd the receiver back onto the phone cradle, cursing loudly, “Bitch!”

Lai Shengxia put her cellphone away and returned to the private room.

Inside the private room, Lai Yuaner sat next to Ouyang Qian, looking demure and tranquil, while Ouyang Qian, still dressed as a successful businesswoman with a faint smile on her lips, was discussing business matters with Fu Jinliang across the table, accompanied by several executives from Tianyi and Longxing.

After sitting down, Lai Shengxia imdiately raised her glass, smiling coyly, and continued the conversation from before: “Chairman Fu, this toast is for you. If Tianyi and Longxing can reach a cooperation, it would doubtlessly be a win-win situation for both parties over the next five years.”

“Let’s hope it’s as auspicious as Miss Lai predicts,” Fu Jinliang would not slight a junior.

Lai Shengxia glanced aside, “Yuanyuan, offer a toast to Uncle Fu as well.”

When Lai Yuaner raised her glass, Lai Shengxia turned her gaze back to Fu Jinliang, her smile growing even more humble: “I wonder if Uncle Fu still rembers, Yuanyuan and Fu Si were classmates from elentary to junior high school, they used to cause quite the commotion back then.”
