{Court, Civil Division}

Presiding Judge: "The judgment is hereby announced as follows, and the three properties and deposits of 3 million yuan in the decedent's estate are inherited by the plaintiff. ”

Cheers and lamentations rang out at the same time, and there was a commotion in the courtroom.

The inheritance case was finally won.

They are also legal heirs, and the parents actually wrote a will, dividing most of the estate to their sister, leaving only 3% of the company's shares to her sister. When I took over the case three weeks ago, most of the people in the law firm found it difficult to win the case, and there was no room for maneuver in this matter that was clearly written in the will. To blame, I can only blame my sister for not being able to do my parents, to be honest, my sister really didn't fulfill her obligation to support.

Unexpectedly, Ashley, the boss of the law firm, found evidence that her sister forced her parents to change the will, and also proved that the heir signed the will in an unconscious state, reversing the situation.

There was a crowd of people, and I searched the walking crowd for the big guy who had just won the case.

"Win beautiful today!" Go up and stand side by side with him.

Ashley turned to look at me, the corners of his mouth curled slightly. Those black eyes, which were so calm that they were almost indifferent, did not let go of every detail of my face, and finally stopped at the pair of Tiffany crystal earrings I was wearing.

I secretly felt that something was not good.

"It's fine. You also had a good fight in the last contract dispute, and I heard that the manager of the company that won the case sent you a lot of jewelry? ”

The chill in his words condensed into a short ice sword, which struck me straight at me.

Before I could come back to my senses, a light laugh ensued, dispelling the coldness, and my right shoulder suddenly gained some strength.

"I'm kidding you, I can get that manager to give you something out of his own pocket, which means that this case is very satisfying to the customer, and I can't ask for it."

I lowered my head slightly, and my body struggled outward, "It's the boss who taught me well." ”

Being hugged by my boss next to the courthouse has a bad impact. Looking up, the sunset fills the sky and the earrings sparkle in the setting sun.

Ashley laughed heartily: "Lavender, you still haven't changed at all, just like when you first entered the law firm, except for the case, you cherish words like gold." Let's go, think about what to eat tonight. ”

He opened Cayenne's door, put his hand on top of the passenger frame, and I bent down to sit inside.

When I raised my eyes, I met his bright eyes. It's not at all like the extremely rational defense lawyer who dominates the courtroom.

The pure black Cayenne galloped down the road, fierce and full of tension. The tall SUV is very consistent with the modern city and his professional identity. Cars and people really have the same characteristics, and I can't help but sigh.

Among the younger generation of the city's lawyers, Ashley is a legend. Five years ago, he graduated from Yale Law School with a Juris Doctor (J.D.), and his high grade mark earned him the only honors graduate at the time. He has more than a year of internship at a top law firm in the United States and has participated in many pro bono legal projects. Her strong academic and practical skills have made her a highly sought-after commodity in the job market. Companies large and small in the city have invited him to join the legal team and have thrown olive branches to him. However, he chose to take the case in obscurity at a lesser-known civil and commercial litigation law firm. After two years of precipitation, the fledgling Ashley was a hit in a business merger case that he took over halfway, and he was able to turn the second half of the case upside down, the defendant not only did not have to bear the full debt, but also took the plaintiff into the army, suspected of commercial fraud, his skill is clever, and his style is so ruthless that it is jaw-dropping. After that, he and his lawyer Vivian spun off from their original law firm and co-founded what is now V.A. Law Firm.

Three years ago, I was just an intern. Ashley was surprisingly bold in not sending me to sort out the copywriting, nor did he give me a perfunctory case file, but took me through the legal practice hand in hand. He is meticulous in his work, whether he is an intern by his side or a friend who works hard with him, as long as the copywriting analysis is not good enough, he will never give a good face; As soon as the case is received, no matter how big or small, it is treated equally, and the preparation is reversed day and night. Every quick response in court, the skillful use of every law, in the eyes of others, is a matter of hand, only insiders know how much to pay behind the scenes, only the surface is glamorous.

silently looked at the person next to him: wearing a set of expensive Youngor suits over a handmade shirt; The hand holding the steering wheel is strong because of the force, and it is obvious that the muscles and bones have been exercised in the gym; Looking straight ahead, the confidence is still there.

"Well, why do you keep looking at me?"

"I'm kind of craving mussels." I looked up and smiled sheepishly.

"Then go for a French meal and drink some white wine to celebrate."

The city's tallest revolving restaurant, shaped like a music box, has floor-to-ceiling tempered glass on all eight walls, and is only open at night. As soon as you enter the door, there is a sea of candles, as thick as a standing candle on the arm, and the indoor optical fiber illuminated is visible.

On the ground in the corner, there are craft candles of different shapes everywhere on the railing, and countless red heart-shaped candles floating in the small artificial scenery lake in the center of the restaurant, sparkling candles. There are also two palace-style luxury candlesticks on the dining table, lit with slender candles of jade color.

The French restaurant was particularly romantic tonight, and I looked at Ashley and saw that he didn't seem to figure out the situation either.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, Ashley held out his hand, and I naturally pulled it up, and we both took our seats under the personal guidance of the restaurant manager.

"Hello two, today is the anniversary of our restaurant, so we have specially arranged and renovated the dishes."

"Oh? Lavender, we're in luck. Ashley didn't laugh like the trickster in court.

I nodded, flipping through the menu and looking at him.

Over the years, I have seen a lot of people of the same age and the opposite sex, and the business customers are either the first in the world, or they are scheming and unscrupulous. Among his peers, there are many people who only disregard professional ethics for profit, and there are few who can win the righteous and awe-inspiring world, and Ashley can be regarded as one.

Speaking of special, though, I remembered Frank's phone call the other day, and the one he talked about on the phone.

From the first time I saw him, it felt different, and I don't know where it came from.

Humble gentleman, gentle as jade.

Also, the heartbeat.

Recalling that person, he laughed, his cheeks were red, like a child who had secretly drunk wine, shy and drunk.

Thinking of the picture of him laughing, and thinking of Frank's statement about his breakup, my heart is sour and a little painful.

"Come to your senses, Lavender. What do you want for dessert? Can macarons be too sweet? ”

Ashley looked at me and gently slammed the table.

"Oh, it's going to be too sweet, or soufflé." Eating with a man, but another man in my mind, it seems that I have been idle recently, so I hurriedly lowered my head and drank water.

The light milky aroma, the fresh fruitiness of the wine, the vanilla and lemon remove the fishy smell of the mussels, and my taste buds are completely soaked with wine and sea flavors.

"Boss has something to tell me?" I was immersed in the rich, light aroma of soufflé.

Ashley pinched the long-legged wine glass, shaking the brown liquid in it slightly, and his eyebrows were handsome in the light.

"Nothing, just talk about it. Lavender, you know Sheng Enterprises, right? ”

Sheng's enterprise was originally a trading company, and later went public, and now all industries are touched. Chairman Shao Tian is a third party, kicked out the main palace mother, and took charge of the company after her husband's death, leaving only an only son, Sheng Feng, who was afraid of falling in his hand and afraid of melting in his mouth. The rich second-generation son, spending all day drinking.

"Yes." I didn't pay much attention to it, there are a lot of commercial disputes in this kind of listed company, and I take a sip of white wine.

Ashley put down his glass, "Chairman Sheng received an anonymous envelope yesterday with a bunch of photos. ”

He paused, and I put down the spoon that was eating soufflé, "Sheng Feng?" ”

"With a young girl who looks to be under fourteen." Ashley lowered her voice and took a sip of her wine.

I was shocked by this inside information.

For any lawyer, anyone who takes this kind of case will get into trouble.

Not to mention that evidence is not easy to find, public opinion will always be pointed at.
