Because of the drink, Scott called the driver over, and on the way back, he and the driver were in front, and Taylor and his mother sat in the back seat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"I really can't imagine that things will be so coincidental, it turns out that Taylor, you and Ann have known each other for a long time!" Scott drank a little too much, leaning back in his seat in a daze.

Taylor smiled and replied, "yes, I didn't expect that when I saw the photos of their house, I thought I had gone to the wrong door!" ”

Andrea leaned forward, patted her slightly drunk husband, and said softly, "Honey, let's sleep for a while, we still have some time to get home, we really shouldn't let you drink so much." ”

"Well, it's okay......"

Scott's voice grew deeper, Andrea sat back in the back seat, put her seatbelt back on, turned to look at Taylor, and asked with a smile, "Tay, is Ann your boyfriend?" Don't be in a hurry to deny it, I see you winking at him at the dinner table. ”

"No, not yet, Mom, I promise!" Taylor shook his head with a smile, then added, "But I invited him to the New Year's ball!" ”

"Huh?" Andrea raised her eyebrows and smiled: "You are actually going to the New Year's ball?" I remember you never participated before, so you have a crush on Ann? ”

"Perhaps, I'm just interested in him, he gives people a ...... How can I say it, Mom, it's very special, I'm happy and relaxed with him, is that good? Taylor herself wasn't sure what it was like to feel in her heart, she and Xu An had only met three times in total, but it was clear that Xu An was different from other boys, at least for her.

"Wow, looks like my dear daughter is going to be in love!" Andrea hugged her daughter and smiled.

"Mom~"

Scott was awakened by the sound of the mother and daughter laughing, and turned his head in confusion and asked, "Hey, dear, what are you talking about?" ”

Andrea smiled and pushed her husband's head back and said angrily: "You can't listen to the topic of women!" ”

……………………………………

Unlike Taylor's happy return from laughing all the way, Xu An was unexpectedly criticized at home, and when introducing guests, his distraction can be said to explain the past because of Taylor's accident, and there is no excuse for being tarnished late.

Fortunately, Xu Tianrui drank a lot and went to bed early, otherwise he would have to face his father's stinky face all night.

Xu An didn't go back to Manhattan, and after spending the night at home, he went up the next day and went straight to the House law firm, where he met Chris in his office.

This is a spacious enough office, located in the most prosperous neighborhood of Manhattan, through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass can clearly see the distant view, Chris is wearing a gray suit, the whole person looks serious and confident, he personally poured Xu An a cup of coffee, and sat on the sofa with him.

"Ann, the court is going to be held next week, are you mentally prepared?" Chris asked.

"I'm fine, the murder case is solved, it's enough to prove that Andrew framed me, isn't it?" Xu An is not very worried about this matter, as he said, Andrew was framed first, and there is a reason for this incident.

"But not enough to offset the damage you did to Andrew!" "You're too heavy, the judge won't be biased in your favor, and most importantly, you still haven't found the recorder, right?" ”

"No, Andrew's office was in chaos at the time, and I don't know where it went!"

Chris frowned and said, "I sent someone to contact those former colleagues of yours, they didn't see the recorder, that is the most important evidence, the erased recording can be recovered, and you said that you may have pressed the record button when you were in Andrew's office, there may be evidence of Andrew's racism on it!" If you have this, you don't even have to go to court! ”

Xu An tried to think about it, at that time in the office, he got the blank voice recorder from Andrew's hand, and he was angry, he should have pressed the record button when he held the voice recorder, if that was the case, what Andrew said later would be recorded and become the deadliest evidence.

But......

"I was so angry at the time that a lot of people rushed in, and I wasn't sure if there was a recording or who took the pen."

Chris shook his head and said, "Since you can't find it, the judge won't approve it, and we can only treat it as if we don't have this thing, Ann, I want to explain one thing to you, although Andrew framed it first, but you are too heavy, the judge will take into account that there is a reason for the matter, but you will definitely be punished!" ”

"I understand!" Xu An nodded and said, "But I don't regret it." ”

Chris glanced at Xu An deeply, and said seriously: "You can't say that to the judge, the severity of your punishment depends entirely on your attitude of admitting guilt, the judge will definitely make you apologize to the victim, if you refuse, then the matter may become complicated, the jury will not sympathize with an unrepentant person, do you understand?" ”

"I understand, but ......" Xu An spread his hands and replied equally seriously: "I'd rather go to jail!" ”

"Ha, you know Ann, you're exactly like Garfield, stubborn, never compromised!" Kesri looked at Xu An helplessly, with a hint of pampering in his eyes, "Don't worry, I will try my best to help you solve this matter, going to prison is not a result that Catherine can accept!" ”

Xu An doesn't care much about going to prison, although some prisons in the United States are chaotic and full of all kinds of villains, but he is confident that he has kung fu and will not suffer losses in it, but he can also imagine what Catherine's mood will be if he is sentenced to detention, and she will collapse.

But fortunately, the bail system in the United States is very perfect, Xu An is not worried that he will really be detained, he looked at Chris, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Chris, I know that it is really overkill to let you be in charge of this kind of small case!" ”

"No, no, no, Ann, that's not the case at all!" Chris smiled and shook his fingers, and said to Xu An: "Do you think we usually only represent those super-large mergers and acquisitions with millions or even tens of millions of commissions?" In fact, I can handle all legal matters, such as speeding, drunk driving, and even stealing at a convenience store, as long as you can afford to pay the commission, we will not turn you down! ”

"People who can afford to pay commissions won't go to the convenience store and steal!" Xu An said.

Chris laughed, and said with a little disdain in his smile: "Those rich people, they do anything for the thrill, last year I had an employer, a rich second generation, stimulated by alcohol and big M, ran to the convenience store late at night to steal, you know, that guy was completely inexperienced, he was caught red-handed, and finally I had to go to the police station to fish him out." ”

"My grandfather once said that there is an old Chinese saying that when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds!" Xu Andao.

Chris was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "That's right, this sentence is too classic." After finishing speaking, he looked at Xu An with a smile and said, "An, I heard that your novel is about to be published?" And you got an agent? Why don't you come to me? I know a lot of lawyers who are part-time publishing agents and they are very good at copyright registration and publishing contracts! ”

"Actually, I'm about to ask you for help." "Introduce me to a lawyer who will work with my publisher on copyright and contract issues, oh, and my personal tax issues, and I've already received the prepaid royalties in advance." ”

"Aha, and prepaid royalties, it looks like your new book is very valued by the publisher!" Chris smiled, he thought for a moment, and said, "No problem, leave this matter to me, I will introduce my assistant to you, and he can help you with most legal issues." ”
