Chapter 443: The Lawyer Is Here
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Wei Xiao had indeed been in a terrible fix recently. He had already entered the Wei Corporation’s board of directors and become the acting chairman, but not many people took him seriously.
In particular, Wei Hai had returned to the Wei Corporation and had many supporters. For a moment, his position was unstable.
When he heard that Huang Yue had been arrested, Wei Xiao was even angrier. He originally wanted to use Huang Yue’s relationship with some big shots in the capital to help him open the capital’s market. He didn’t expect Huang Yue, this idiot, to start a meat-skin business for a few million yuan.
However, at the thought that she still had a lot of evidence against him, Wei Xiao had no choice but to come to the capital personally.
The moment he saw Wen Nian, Wei Xiao was still in a daze. Today, Wen Nian was wearing a black and white striped polo shirt and simple light-colored jeans. Her long hair was loose as she sat by the glass window. The sunlight shone on her hair, making her look very energetic.
At the thought that the two of them were once engaged, if Wen Nian hadn’t broken off the engagement, the two of them might have gotten together long ago. Wei Xiao clenched his fists and walked over.
“Do you live here too? Why didn’t I know?” Wei Xiao’s expression was enthusiastic, and the emotions in his eyes were about to surge out.
However, Wen Nian said indifferently, “This doesn’t belong to your family. Besides, why should I report to you?”
Although he knew that Wen Nian’s attitude towards him was no longer as warm as before, Wei Xiao was still not used to it. He smiled awkwardly. “I was just saying. Don’t be angry. You… are you here in the capital for an event? I saw Director Xu’s movie a while ago and asked you to promote it?”
Wen Nian said indifferently, “There’s no need for that now. Wang Bing is in trouble, and the movie has been affected.”
Hearing her say this, Wei Xiao said regretfully, “Something happened to Huang Yue too. You were best friends in the past.”
“Yes.” Wen Nian looked at him with a faint smile. “You seem to be quite concerned about your classmates?”
“No, I-I’m just concerned about my classmates.” Wei Xiao quickly denied it. “Moreover, this matter has caused an uproar. Everyone probably knows about it. Do you think she still has a chance to come out?”
“It’s impossible for her to be acquitted, but she wants to redeem herself.” Wen Nian smiled.
“Making amends? Can she make amends?” Wei Xiao asked anxiously, not realizing that his voice had become a little sharp.
However, Wen Nian could tell that he was already panicking. She knew Wei Xiao better than he knew himself, which was why Wen Nian decided to kill him with a borrowed knife.
She spoke slowly. “She arranged to meet me today and asked me to find her a lawyer. She told me a secret.”
“Secret? What secret?” Wei Xiao became even more nervous.
“I didn’t go. How would I know?” Wen Nian said angrily. “You should know what kind of person she is. She definitely won’t do anything without benefits. How can she show her trump card if she’s not sure that I can help her?”
Thinking of Huang Yue’s schemes, Wei Xiao nodded silently in his heart. Indeed, Huang Yue wouldn’t tell him what she knew so easily. But what could she say to Wen Nian?
Suddenly, his eyes widened. He thought that Huang Yue might really know something about the Wen family after being by his side for so long. Moreover, she had looked for Wen Nian directly and did not look for him to look for a lawyer. Wei Xiao felt even more uneasy.
He asked carefully, “Have you promised her? Will you ask Shen Jun to help her find a lawyer? She treated you like that in the past…”
Hearing his reminder, Wen Nian laughed. “Didn’t you say that the two of us used to be best friends?”
She looked at her watch. “I’ve got to go. I still have to find her a lawyer if things work out. I’ll see you later.”
As he watched Wen Nian leave quickly, Wei Xiao thought of what she had just said and panicked. He quickly returned to his room. The most important thing now was to get someone to deal with Huang Yue. He could not let her drag him down.
On the other hand, Wen Nian followed the lawyer to the detention center in a good mood. This time, although Huang Yue still looked tired, her eyes were shining.
The lawyer introduced himself simply. “Hello, I’m Sun Wei. Mr. Shen hired me to be your defense lawyer.”
“The Shen family? Is it the Shen Jun family? The Shen family in the capital?” Huang Yue confirmed again and again, but the corners of her mouth could not be removed. Her eyes were filled with joy.
The lawyer nodded stiffly. The Shen family had indeed hired him, but he was just a lawyer from a small law firm and had nothing to do with the Shen family..
