Chapter 36: I’m Her Man
Ye Mother clenched her fists tightly.
No way, Li’er absolutely can’t be expelled!
Ye Mother pulled her younger brother aside, “Xiao Gao, you gotta think of a way. Li’er can’t just take this beating for nothing.” Thinking about her son’s bruised face made her heart ache with pain.
“Let’s settle,” Wang Gao sighed wearily, “Their lawyer is too good. Even if we take it to court, we won’t have an advantage. Just like he said, making this public will benefit no one.”
Though Ye Mother was internally fuming, for Ye Li’s future, she had to grit her teeth and bear it.
“Are we agreed?” Bai Linjiang always wore that smile on his face, earning him the nickname ‘Smiling Tiger,’ always winning cases with that ever-present grin.
Suzhou Group was also known as the ‘Ever-Victorious General.’ Since Su Hua took over Suzhou Group, they’ve never lost a case!
“Lin Xuan, you just wait! And by the way, we’re done here; no medical compensation required.” Ye Mother dragged Ye Li away.
Ye Li looked sour throughout the entire ordeal.
The moment he heard that Su Hua’s lawyer would handle the situation, he knew there was no chance against Lin Xuan.
He couldn’t understand why—why did Su Hua like Lin Xuan so much? What was so great about that useless Lin Xuan who kept hurting her feelings? Yet Su Hua remained devoted to him!
Lin Xuan and Bai Linjiang also came downstairs together.
“Mr. Bai, thank you,” Lin Xuan said.
Bai Linjiang examined Lin Xuan—he was quite handsome, a fresh-faced youth type. Su Zong cared so much about him… Could it be…
No, that’s impossible.
Su Zong, such a strong woman, only had work on her mind. She wouldn’t fall for mere male beauty. If she were to date someone, it would be someone stronger than her—not some young man younger than her.
“Mr. Lin, what’s your relationship with Su Zong? Are you relatives or friends?” Bai Linjiang was genuinely curious about what kind of identity warranted sending a big-shot lawyer to deal with a student brawl.
Lin Xuan: “Neither.”
Bai Linjiang: “Then what are you to each other?”
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow: “I’m her man.”
Bai Linjiang: “!!!” Holy crap! Su Zong’s man?!
What a shocking piece of news!
Ye Li watched Lin Xuan’s retreating figure from afar, his eyes flashing with venom.
They say distance creates beauty, but once you have something, you don’t cherish it. Maybe now that Lin Xuan has compromised, Su Hua will soon tire of him. He’ll just wait for the day when Lin Xuan gets dumped by Su Hua!
Wang Gao got into the car with Ye Father and Ye Mother, who were preparing to take Ye Li to the hospital. It was convenient since they were heading to the law firm anyway.
Wang Gao frowned deeply, pondering Bai Linjiang’s identity.
There weren’t many lawyers capable like that. Who exactly was he?
“It really pisses me off! Our son was beaten up like that, and yet he walks away scot-free!” Ye Mother gnashed her teeth in anger.
Ye Father sighed, “That lawyer is too skilled. Moreover, we truly lack evidence proving that Lin Xuan initiated the fight. According to his account, our son started the beating first, leaving Lin Xuan no choice but to retaliate against Li’er.”
“Husband, you must find out who’s behind Lin Xuan. We need to give them a lesson!”
“Don’t worry, I will.” Ye Father’s expression turned dark.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Wang Gao.
Could it be…
…
He quickly pulled out his phone and searched. Sure enough, it was him! Bai Linjiang!
“Sis, Brother-in-law, do you know who that lawyer is?” Wang Gao asked anxiously, his voice tinged with panic.
Ye Mother replied, “I heard his introduction; he seems to be called Bai Linjiang. What about it?”
“His identity, sis, do you know who he is?”
“Hmph, I don’t care who he is,” Ye Mother sneered disdainfully, “Even if he’s amazing, can he possibly surpass Ye Real Estate?”
“No, we can’t even compare to him,” Wang Gao’s heart sank. They had offended him today. If he remembered, not only would his lawyer position be at risk, but also the company run by his sister and brother-in-law…
Ye Father felt a bad premonition rising within him and pressed, “Who is he?”
Wang Gao: “The top lawyer under Suzhou Group, Bai Linjiang.”
“What? Suzhou Group?” Ye Father’s eyes widened in terror.
Ye Mother rolled her eyes, “Nowadays, it’s a society governed by law. No matter how powerful their company is, what can they do to us?”
“You ignorant woman, do you even understand anything?!” Ye Father glared at her, “Suzhou Group is the largest company nationwide! Their means are astonishing. They employ a large number of top computer experts and PR teams, legal teams—all the best in the country! Our company isn’t invincible. If they want to find loopholes in our company, it wouldn’t be difficult!”
“And with their vast financial resources, even if they can’t find anything, if they support our rival companies and suppress us, what could we possibly do to counteract them?”
Ye Father’s face was full of panic.
If they were truly targeted by Suzhou Group, they’d be doomed.
“So powerful?” Ye Mother’s face was filled with shock.
“Husband, Lin Xuan is part of the Lin family. The Lin family can’t even get close to the Su family, so the person behind Lin Xuan probably isn’t from the Su family either, maybe he’s just acquainted with that lawyer.”
Ye Father pinched the bridge of his nose: “Regardless, I must prepare thoroughly.”
He had to carefully check the internal issues of the company and make preparations.
As for the rest…
Ye Father looked at Ye Li: “Li’er, go buy something and apologize to Lin Xuan.”
“Dad, Mom, don’t worry too much. This Lin Xuan is just a small-time lover of the Su family. They don’t value him much. Sending Bai Linjiang was probably just a casual favor. You two shouldn’t overreact.” Ye Li said.
“If she really valued Lin Xuan, she would’ve come herself instead of just sending a lawyer.”
“Lover, well, that’s better then.” Ye Father relaxed a little.
In high society circles, everyone treats lovers as mere playthings.
They likely wouldn’t go all out against their company.
“Li’er, in the future, keep your distance from Lin Xuan and don’t provoke him.” Ye Father warned anxiously.
“Alright, understood.” Ye Li replied half-heartedly.
—
At the Chairman’s office of Suzhou Group.
The upper management was reporting to Su Hua.
Jiang Qing walked in with his phone, “Su Zong, the principal of Shangqing University says there’s something urgent he needs to discuss with you.”
“Hmm.”
Su Hua took the phone and placed it to her ear, “What is it?”
“Su Zong, it’s like this,” the principal spoke respectfully, “Tomorrow is our school’s opening ceremony, and we’d like to invite you to give a speech to the students.”
Previously, he always contacted Jiang Qing, who would ask Su Hua and then inform him of the result. As the chairman of Suzhou Group, Su Hua was usually very busy and had never agreed to participate in these small speeches at the school.
Seeing Bai Linjiang handling Lin Xuan’s matters today, he assumed that Lin Xuan might have a special relationship with Su Hua.
So he thought Su Hua might agree this time.
Su Hua asked, “What time?”
“Three in the afternoon.” The principal hurriedly answered.
“Su Zong, tomorrow at three in the afternoon, you need to go to Linqing City for an important cooperation project.” Jiang Qing reminded her.
