Chapter 40: Hard work
The woman is well-maintained and looks like she is in her early thirties.
Her makeup is exquisite, and the charm in her eyebrows and eyes is far more comparable.
"Ah Xing, you didn't answer dozens of phone calls, I can only come here and wait for the rabbit."
The woman spoke apologetically, her eyes constantly looking at Rong Yan.
Rong Yan is in a dilemma.
Gu Xing stood at the door, and he didn't have the idea of inviting the woman in.
"As I said, none of the people who prevail in law firms will be Gu Cheng's defense lawyer. You are also clever. ”
Rong Yan suddenly remembered that "Gu Cheng" was the "yellow-haired" gangster who sent Zheng Teng into the hospital.
"No matter how bad Gu Cheng is, he is also your flesh and blood brother." The woman raised her eyebrows and sneered, "He beat that little slut violently, also so that the Gu family's property would not leak out." You are a lawyer and should know that illegitimate children also have inheritance rights. ”
"So what?" Gu Xing's gaze at the woman was full of mockery, "I remember that your son ended his illegitimate status at the age of ten and took the surname Gu." Han Peiyun, have you forgotten how you got to the top back then? You and the woman who jumped off the building are just a dog. ”
"Gu Xing, I know you hate me. Your father is romantic, even if there was no me back then, there would be other women entering the Gu family. Han Peiyun frowned, "In the past two years, your father has become more and more indulgent outside, and you and Gu Cheng must become one." ”
"Ms. Han, you're thinking too much." Gu Xing said lightly, "I still have to rush to work, please give way." ”
"If Gu Cheng hadn't beaten that little slut, she wouldn't have jumped off the building with the child, and the child would have carved up the Gu family's property in the future! Gu Cheng is now being stared at and sued, how can you bear to stand by? ”
Han Peiyun was emotional and stopped at the door.
Gu Xing looked at his watch and twisted his eyebrows: "I'm going to work." If Ms. Han doesn't leave, I'll call the police immediately. ”
"Gu Xing, you are the most powerful gold medal lawyer in Jincheng, and you don't even help your brother?" Han Peiyun's body trembled lightly and held on to the wall.
"You're wrong, I have a blood relationship with Gu Cheng at most fifty percent. Brother, he's not even counted. A cold light flashed in Gu Xing's eyes.
"Good—good—"
Han Peiyun walked into the elevator with his heart covered.
"We'll wait for the next elevator." Gu Xing took the door lock and didn't forget to greet Rong Yan.
Witnessing this dispute in the Gu family, Rong Yan was a little embarrassed.
But these did not affect Gu Xing's mood, he behaved calmly and looked as usual.
Rong Yan wanted to reduce his sense of presence and took the initiative to sit in the back seat.
The car drove out of the underground parking lot, and Rong Yan reminded him in a low voice, "Can you send me to Hualin first?" Because in ten minutes, I'm going to be late. ”
He was silent, but the direction of the car was indeed Hualin Building.
Rong Yan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to alleviate the oppressive feeling brought by silence, she deliberately provoked the topic, "At the police station, it was your half-brother who made the most trouble?" ”
"He is him, I am me. Don't confuse it. Gu Xing was very displeased.
Rong Yan looked at him with a grin, "It turns out that you, like me, have a rotten family." However, your family has a lot of property, so you naturally have more troubles than me. ”
"Do I still need to go to the hospital?" Gu Xing didn't answer her words, and suddenly asked.
Rong Yan subconsciously touched his forehead, "You finally found out your conscience." However, not for the time being. ”
The car drove into the Hualin parking lot.
"Thanks."
Rong Yan kept looking at his phone, and there were still two minutes before the clock-in time passed.
"Don't see Carlos again." Gu Xing said suddenly.
"He is a customer of Hualin, and I am responsible for the drawing, so it is unlikely that we will not meet." After Rong Yan finished speaking, the car had stopped.
Gu Xing clicked on the central lock, his face sank terribly, "Can't do it?" ”
"I try not to meet him. Even if they meet, they won't let him take any advantage. "Rong Yan has not yet left Gu Xing's confidence, so he can only be perfunctory.
Gu Xing pinched his eyebrows with one hand: "Get out of the car." ”
"Bye-bye!" Rong Yan pushed the car door and trotted towards the elevator.
Gu Xing turned off the car, picked up his mobile phone and was about to make a call, when the call rang.
The number on it upset him.
If you don't answer, the other party will keep fighting.
He simply clicked the answer button.
"Ah Xing, the stock of the subsidiary has been falling for a while, will you come back and help me for a while?" Gu Jimin's voice has aged a lot.
"The law firm has just taken on a few big cases, and I can't leave." Gu Xing refused, "I reminded you that if you can't do it, it's better to sell the labor-intensive property for cash." ”
"Every industry of the Gu family is profitable, how can I be willing to sell it!" Gu Jimin sighed, "I have two sons, one has the ability but can't save him when he dies, and the other can't hold up the wall with mud!" ”
Gu Xing supported his forehead with one hand and leaned on the back of the chair, "Are you done scolding, I still have to drive, hang up first." ”
"Gu Cheng beat people because of me. Now that the other party doesn't get in the oil and salt, you have to get Gu Cheng in, can you help it? ”
"Two lives were desperate after being beaten by Gu Cheng, so they jumped from the twenty-eighth floor-" Gu Xing's voice trembled slightly, "Don't say that Gu Cheng went in, even if he was sentenced to a suspended death, he would not be wronged." ”
"But Gu Cheng is your brother!" Gu Jimin said sharply.
"I don't have a brother, I only have an older sister named Gu Qi." Gu Xing's eyes were filled with a chill to the bone, "What is Gu Cheng, you should know better than me." ”
"It's all a romantic debt I caused!" Gu Jimin sighed, "Ah Xing, if you don't help me, you can do it, but you must help Ah Cheng!" He's still young, and he can't ruin his future like that. ”
"After the woman jumped off the building, for the sake of Gu's reputation, I will clean up the aftermath for you online, which is already the final bottom line."
Gu Xing didn't wait for Gu Jimin to respond and ended the call.
Turn the head of the car and drive out of Hualin.
The phone call rings again.
He glanced at it, and smiled with a scheming smile.
Slid away, Carlos's respectful voice came: "Mr. Gu Xing, if the Gu family cancels the cooperation with our company, I will lose a lot." ”
"Cooperation can continue." Gu Xing's words changed, "Mr. Carlos is a smart person and should know what I don't want to see." ”
"Since Mr. Gu likes Miss Rong, then I will quit now, and I will never dare to fight Miss Rong's idea in the future."
Carlos's Chinese is lame, but his attitude is sincere.
"We'll see." Gu Xing's tone was sonorous.
Back at the prevailing law firm, before Gu Xing could sit down, Shao Tian moved two stacks of files more than a foot high.
"Lawyer Gu, you have worked hard again today."
"Get used to it."
Gu Xing picked up a pair of myopia glasses from the table and put them on, and pulled out a stack of files to look at.
Shao Tian made a pot of black coffee for him, and asked carefully: "Cheng Shao's case, do you really not accept it?" ”
"No, I don't. All lawyers are not allowed to take it. Gu Xing didn't even raise his head.
"Got it." Shao Tianbi nodded respectfully, "The event in the capital has been advanced, and I have booked a flight for you at half past ten in the morning." Need me to pack your bags for you? ”
Gu Xing stopped what he was doing, raised his eyes and looked at the desk calendar on the table, the annual high-end lawyer forum was indeed opened today.
Yesterday, I patronized and Rong Yan was so angry that I forgot about business.
"You go and prepare the materials for the inheritance case last month, and I'll take it to the capital to find Lao Du to take a look. I'll take care of the luggage myself. Gu Xing was the first to think of Rong Yan.
Shao Tian turned to leave, and Gu Xing dialed Rong Yan's phone.
"Something?" Rong Yan's stiff greeting came.
Since he offered to continue the secret relationship between the two, Rong Yan has lost his previous flattery, and even the tone of his phone talk is "thorny".
"Something." Gu Xing leaned on the seat and rubbed his tired eyes.
The three-day conference was held, and with all the industry gatherings, it would be nice to be back on Sunday.
The words that wanted to take her to the capital reached his throat, but Gu Xing was hesitant to say it.
"Tell me something, I'm going to have a meeting here!" Rong Yan was not loud and a little impatient.
Gu Xing felt that face was important, and that sentence was still rotten in his stomach.
"I'm going to fly to the capital in the morning, and on the flight at half past ten, you go back to the Grand Hyatt Mansion to help me pack a few changes of clothes, huh?"
"The design team is holding a plenary meeting, and if I skip work, I will be deducted from the bonus!" Rong Yan's voice was much lowered, "Big brother, I don't want to drink the northwest wind next month, please leave me a way to live!" ”
"I can't leave for a while. There are a lot of encrypted files in the study, which cannot be seen by outsiders, so you can go back to the Grand Hyatt Mansion immediately. If the bonus is deducted, I will double it for you. ”
Gu Xing's attitude is strong and tough.
Rong Yan was stunned for a while, and then reluctantly said "yes".
An hour later, Rong Yan's phone called, panting and said, "I'll go downstairs to Shengsheng, do you hand over your luggage to the front desk, or do you come down and get it?" ”
Gu Xing said without thinking about it: "I'll tell the front desk, you can come up from the exclusive elevator." ”
Rong Yan snorted angrily and hung up the phone first.
Listening to the busy sound on his mobile phone, Gu Xing laughed inexplicably.
Soon, there was a sharp knock on the door.
Unscrewed the door, Gu Xing saw Rong Yan wearing Hualin overalls, pulling the suitcase with one hand and covering his heart with the other.
"The hitchhiker said that it was difficult for you to find a parking space here, so he put me down on Mingyang Road, and I ran over in one go-"
Rong Yan's fair cheeks flushed with the wind, and the band-aid on his forehead fell halfway.
Gu Xing's heartstrings seemed to have been touched by something.
In an instant, he had collected his emotions and said calmly, "It's hard." ”
"I'm so thirsty, pour me a glass of water." Rong Yan sat down straight and took out the makeup mirror from his bag and took a photo.
She carefully removed the band-aid from her forehead and sighed as she stared at the freshly scabbed wound.
"If you really don't feel at ease, come with me to the capital. There is a hospital where scar repair techniques are strong. Gu Xing handed over a glass of boiled water.
"Good! I'll book my flight right away! Rong Yan blurted out, and immediately regretted it in less than a second, "It's just a scrape to go to the capital!" Be careful in the future, just don't get blown by the cold wind. ”
She was going to hold an engagement ceremony with Xie Chu on Saturday, how could she go to the capital?
In order to deliver Gu Xing's luggage, she skipped her shift, just to let Gu Xing leave Jincheng earlier.
Returning to Junyue Mansion to pack her luggage, she deliberately went to the study to check Gu Xing's recent itinerary.
The Forum session lasted four or five days from opening to closing, and Saturday could have been avoided altogether.
She was secretly proud, Gu Xing suddenly wrapped her in his arms and held her face with pity.
"I'll take a leave of absence for you."
