Chapter 6 He Was a Liar

"Boyfriend? The two of them have been married for a long time. That's Tang Yinning's husband. Please be particular about what you say." Hee Leiting finally caught a chance to complain. If it weren't for Xi Xiu's blank look, Hee Leiting would have kept talking.

"Not for long." Xi Xiu's thin lips curled slightly.

Seeing Xi Xiu's confident and domineering look, Hee Leiting said helplessly, "I'm out of it so it's none of my business. As for this Chen Pojun, I heard that he is a rising star who has started from nothing in Yunjing City in recent years. He is capable of business and this guy is the real thing. Besides, he has all the luck."

"Luck, what do you mean?" Xi Xiu was intrigued.

It was rare to arouse Xi Xiu's interest. Hee Leiting naturally did not hesitate to tell him. "Chen Pojun's father-in-law is a professor at the University of Yunjing City. The professor invested two million yuan in Chen Pojun's start-up fund at the beginning of his business."

"Two million is not much." Xi Xiu replied. Just now, in the car, he had already looked through the information of the Shengyang Company, just a mid-range company worth 50 million yuan.

"Yes, but the two million also accounted for 20 % of Shengyang Company's shares back then!" Hee Leiting reached out a finger and gestured. "According to the current market price, 20 % of Shengyang Company's shares is worth ten million yuan, the value of a small, low-end villa in Zijun County, Yunjing City. Not bad!"

"Oh, that's good. Who owns the shares now?" Xi Xiu nodded thoughtfully.

"I heard Professor Tang gave it to Tang Yinning before he left the country." Hee Leiting thought about it for a few minutes and then smiled evilly. "Hold on, it doesn't seem that you regard Tang Yinning as only your old friend. Tell me, are you having an affair with Tang Yinning?"

"So what?" Xi Xiu raised his eyebrows and looked at him, not avoiding the question.

"See! I'm not surprised!" Hee Leiting looked as if he knew it already and he sighed, "That's a married woman! Boss Xi, are you trying to steal Tang Yinning away?"

"So what?" It was still the same sentence but with more emphasis.

This time, Hee Leiting could not find a rebuttal, so he could only reply helplessly, "It's up to you as long as you're happy."

Xi Xiu asked Soong Hui to send Leiting away. After that, Xi Xiu called Xu Jianran, his college classmate.

"Xiu, what's the matter?" Xu Jianran answered the phone with a cheerful voice. Even if Xi Xiu couldn't see Xu Jianran's face, he knew Xu Jianran must be smiling.

Hearing this energetic voice, Xi Xiu finally felt a little relieved since he returned home. "I have a friend who might file for divorce."

"It's simple. Don't worry about this. I will offer help to win the case beautifully. Who will get a divorce?" Xu Jianran immediately agreed without hesitation. Even if it was not for the sake of his old acquaintance, he was definitely willing to give Xi Xiu a hand.

"My friend has been married for two years, but her husband cheated on her. You try to help her get the most rights. I'll double the cost of the lawsuit," Xi Xiu spoke frankly. He was free to talk about the fact that Tang Yinning got married.

Xu Jianran was stunned for a while before replying, "Okay, then let her come to my law firm and talk about it in detail."

"No, please contact her. Her number is 187..." Just after reading three numbers, Xi Xiu remembered that Tang Yinning was drunk last night with a broken screen phone. Her eyes fell on her best friend's column and she read Du Ruoshui's number.

"Okay, I'll call her when I'm done. Don't worry." Xu Jianran quickly wrote down the number with a pen and asked, "Do you need to disclose that you are involved?"

"Whatever." Xi Xiu replied and hung up without any more pleasantries.

Listening to that phone was hanged up, Xu Jianran smiled helplessly. Xi Xiu didn't change in this aspect.

Du Ruoshui slept until the afternoon. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a strange number on her phone. Her phone kept ringing. She hung up but it rang again.

After repeating it three or four times, Du Ruoshui finally gave up. "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Are you Miss Du?" Xu Jianran sent a text message to her before and he was hung up three times in a row. No matter how well-groomed he was, he was unhappy at the moment. But because it was something that Xi Xiu asked for, he still asked with a smile.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Seeing that the man could immediately say her surname, Du Ruoshui resisted the urge to hang up.

"I heard that Miss Tang Yinning needs to file for divorce. I'm Lawyer Xu, from the Yunjing City Jiahua Law Firm. I'm glad to help." When Xu Jianran said that, he was impressed by his own charm.

But before he could come back from his narcissism, he heard the voice on the other end of the phone.

"Ruoshui, who is it?"

"It's a liar. I haven't talked to him yet."

"Didn't he hear what you said?"

"That's right, then I'll hang up! Doo, doo, doo..."

This stunned Xu Jianran. Xu Jianran was so angry that he wanted to smash his phone. Who was that Du Ruoshui? She actually called himself a liar?

Already furious, Xu Jianran still patiently edited a text message to Du Ruoshui.

Seeing that Du Ruoshui hung up the phone, Tang Yinning jumped into her bed with the doll in her arms and laid there before asking, "A liar?"

"He said he was a lawyer, and he wanted to help you with your divorce case. Nowadays, liars have a fast source of information. He actually claims to be a member of the Jiahua Law Firm. The legal fees for any small lawyer there are up to tens of thousands." Du Ruoshui was scared when thinking about this. As an insignificant online writer, her monthly income was only ten thousand yuan.

"A lawyer from Jiahua Law Firm? What if it is real? Who would pretend to be a lawyer? Because they find life outside prison uncomfortable?" Tang Yinning didn't think that man was a liar because there was no need for a liar to provoke Jiahua Law Firm. He was a lawyer and he must know that scamming was illegal.

Du Ruoshui paused and stammered, "It... It doesn't seem that way." In fact, she was also a little nervous.

The screen of her phone flashed, reminding her that the junk messages needed to be cleaned up. She clicked on the software and couldn't help but say, "Damn it, that man is exactly a lawyer."

Tang Yinning immediately sat up and snatched the phone from Du Ruoshui's hand. It was an explanatory text message from Xu Jianran, who took photos of his lawyer's license and the office of the Jiahua Law Firm. She couldn't help but laugh. "This Lawyer Xu is quite interesting."

"He is here to help you with your divorce!" Du Ruoshui became serious this time.

"But I haven't found a law firm yet. Besides, why did he call you if he intends to help me with the lawsuit?" Tang Yinning looked confused.

This time, Du Ruoshui was also confused. Really, who was this Lawyer Xu?

"Who cares? There's an address. Let's go and have a look!" Du Ruoshui reached out and pointed to the address on the screen. She intended to find out.
