Chapter 617 - Shouldn't you be happy?

Everyone paused in their thoughts and actions when the conference room door opened once again, and a man dressed in a professional outfit entered. His expression taut and poker, revealing nothing except for professionalism. 

Everyone's expression turned doubtful, like they were trying to remember the familiar identity on their list that could match the man. 

"Hey, why I feel I have seen him somewhere? Somewhere in the …", finally, one among the crowd highlighted his or her curiosity, and soon everyone else followed suit. 

"Yes, I feel the same. For one clear glance, I also thought I had seen him somewhere. But I couldn't remember it now."

"Aye … but from his attitude, he definitely looks like someone from the top stories of the city. Let's wait for him to reveal his face once again, and we could easily search him online." Another one added as they saw the man progressing his steps to reach the main stage table. 

Li Xue was also a little confused at the sudden arrival. Though she was expecting someone to come, she, herself, was unknown about that person. Her eyes squinted slightly to stare at the well-fitted man, getting a little doubtful about her own assumptions. 

Ignoring every eye staring at him, soon the man took his steps to reach Li Xue, confirming her doubts. Then giving a slight cold smile of greeting, he bowed down, considerably away from the mike, so that his voice doesn't resound to everyone present there. 

"Mrs. Feng! I am your lawyer, here on the orders of President Feng". He greeted before straightening himself back up in his stature. 

Li Xue immediately nodded to his greeting in her most usual manner so that people around don't hold any doubts about her. 

Earlier, due to the traffic jam, she was sure that Su Fai and Lin Xnyi would not be able to arrange a lawyer to reach her on time. So, she has thoughtfully called Feng Shufen to ask for his help. And as expected from her dearest husband, the result was not disappointing her. The lawyer was there to her aid, just in time. Though she was still confused about how the man reached her so fast, she didn't bother to look at her confusion at this moment. 

"Oh, thanks for coming. I was waiting for you. I hope you have the knowledge about my case already?" Li Xue asked, her eyes turning to search for her assistant, whom she has asked to stay out to guide the lawyer in, after letting him know everything about the things she was struck with. 

The lawyer did not reveal much. He just nodded in the most severe manner before affirming. "Don't worry, Ma'am! Secretary Gao has explained to me everything on the way. I am all ready to support you here". 

Li Xue nodded to his words. Though she was doubtful about the man, she was all confident in Feng Shufen. With him, there was no way she would be losing any battle. "Ahh, then I will depend on you, Lawyer …". She was yet there to know his name. 

"You can call me Lawyer Liu," the man replied, and Li Xue smiled at him, giving a slight nod again. 

While they were sharing their words, the people around were all confused. There were looking at them, guessing the thing, but the man's side profile was plainly not helping their remembrance in any way. 

"You sure know how to pull airs, Li Xue. What is the sudden appearance of this man mean? Is he here to defend you against the truth?" Not able to take the things for any longer, Fu Guang asked from the side. His tone was clearly telling how agitated as well as anxious he was. 

Li Xue's lips slowly curled up into a smile as she turned to look back at the old CEO at the side. "Aren't models in the industry taught to keep an air around, CEO Fu? Anyway, since you have already asked, let me introduce". 

She said as she tilted slightly to face the crowd while one hand gesturing everyone to look at her lawyer. "He is my lawyer, Mr. Liu, who would be helping me here in this case with Oriental Spark. I have been waiting for him to arrive". 

"Your lawyer?" CEO Fu's face showed the changes drastically. Just one glance at his face, and one would know that he was not expecting this in the story. "How can you bring a lawyer like this?"

Li Xue's smile paused. She turned back to the man, slightly raising her brows at him. "Heh. What's wrong in bringing me a lawyer here, CEO Fu. If I am not mistaken, moments before weren't you guiding me how I should get a lawyer by my side in such situations? So, shouldn't you be happy, and I should be grateful to you for giving me such a piece of beneficial advice."

"How can that be possible? We have clearly stated that this would be a healthy and simple meeting. And there would be no use of lawyers, then how come you still brought one?" Fu Guang felt himself losing at the very instant. All his plans seemed to fail in a way that even if put forward the efforts, he would not be able to bring it back. 

Li Xue didn't mind his words too much. She just kept a calm hold of a smile before saying, "From what I see here, I can't see anything going simple except for the traps you have kept set for me." She said before turning to look back at the other CEO standing at the side. "CEO Wu! Sorry, but I feel we shouldn't drag things for longer. After all, the media seems to get impatient quicker than us". 

She added punning with her words at the end and sending a smile to everyone. Wu Long had no other way at the situation. Though he was all unknown to things happening around him, he could still make out the assumptions seeing the confident demeanor of the woman while the paled expression of his friend. 

"I will inform our company lawyer."
