"Are you not feeling well?" Tao Feijin asked with some concern. He thought back to when he saw her retching outside the washroom.

"It's just that my stomach isn't feeling well, that's all." Chu Mengyao felt a little awkward, this was the first time she had met her and this kind of thing happened.

Tao Feijin looked at Chu Mengyao and asked, "Miss Tao, what do you want to drink? Water or tea? "Or coffee?"

"Give me a glass of plain water!" Chu Mengyao said. The past two days had been a bit unusual. As long as she could smell something with a distinct scent, she would feel like vomiting. In this situation, Bai Kaishui was the best choice.

Tao Feijin poured a cup of plain water and passed it to Chu Mengyao.

"Thank you." Chu Mengyao immediately stood up and expressed her thanks.

"You don't have to be so formal. You're too polite." Tao Feijin laughed, then asked, "Have you brought your contract with you, let me take a look."

She looked at the contract carefully as Chu Mengyao sat on the sofa and felt a little apprehensive. But during the entire process of looking at the contract, Tao Feijin's expression did not change.

The lawyers were all strict, and when he looked, he was very serious, so he did not ask Chu Mengyao anything. After looking through the contract, Tao Feijin asked, "Isn't there still a video of your agreement? I want to take a look."

"I don't have that. The video is in the other party's hands." Chu Mengyao immediately said.

"Do you remember the content?" Tao Feijin thought for a moment, then asked.

Chu Mengyao nodded.

"Try to explain it as fully as possible. It would be best to describe the details, but of course, don't add anything that has nothing to do with the video." Tao Feijin reminded her.

Although Chu Zhiruo had warned her again and again yesterday to not tell anyone about the hidden parts of the contract, but since this lawyer was introduced by Fu Yi, she still believed him.

Tao Feijin did not sit at the back of the desk, instead, he sat on the sofa opposite to Chu Mengyao. Now that he heard Chu Mengyao's retelling, he could hardly believe it, "You mean that your aunt has promised to marry you into the Wu's, and use this as an attachment to the contract?"

Chu Mengyao nodded.

"How could there be such an agreement, it's too absurd!" This was the first time he had seen such a contract. He obviously doubted Chu Zhiruo's character, and for some reason, he sympathized with Fu Yi.

Chu Mengyao sighed, "Now, they are using this video to threaten us to fulfill the contract, or else they will cancel the contract and ask us to pay a huge penalty."

Tao Feijin looked at Chu Mengyao and asked softly, "Then what do you think now?"

"Of course I won't." Chu Mengyao said with certainty, "I just want to know, Lawyer Tao. If we really do violate the contract, can we pay a little less? " This penalty of over a hundred million was simply too high.

Tao Feijin thought for a moment, then said, "First of all, this video is very complete and can be used as a condition to the contract." He looked at Chu Mengyao and continued, "According to my previous experience, your promised compensation does not exceed 30% of the total amount. In actual trials, the chances of you fighting to reduce the penalty fee is very low."

Hearing this, Chu Mengyao was a little disappointed. His argument was the same as the one made by the Chu's Counsel. Originally, she still had a sliver of hope, but now it seemed that there was no hope left. "Then Lawyer Tao, do we have to pay these penalty fees?"

"If you do break the contract, it looks as if it will have to be paid." Tao Feijin shrugged his shoulders.

Hearing this, Chu Mengyao frowned, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Seeing her gloomy expression, Tao Feijin pursed his lips but did not say a word. He picked up the phone on the table. It looked like he was reading a message, but he had actually taken a photo of her dejected look and sent it to Fu Yi.

"However, whether you default is still a matter for debate." Tao Feijin suddenly said.

"The video can be added as a condition, but your aunt's words are against the law. If it really gets into court, the judge won't support her words as a condition." Tao Feijin's hand rested on the armrest of the sofa, his fingers still knocking on it rhythmically.

"What does that mean?" Chu Mengyao was confused.

"In other words, the freedom of marriage advocated by our current marriage is not a transaction. This is a serious violation of the law." Tao Feijin said, "Furthermore, you are an adult, an individual with complete civilian abilities. Your aunt may be your legal guardian, but she can't decide your marriage. "

These words woke Chu Mengyao up, she opened her mouth and said in surprise, "If we use the content of the video as evidence and bring it to the court, does that mean the court will not think that we violated the rules?"

"In theory." Tao Feijin said.

Hearing this, Chu Mengyao's mood immediately became a lot better. She laughed, "Lawyer Tao, thank you so much."

"I'm also in charge of the service, there's no need to stand on ceremony." Tao Feijin raised his eyebrows.

"How much is the service fee, transfer or cash?" Chu Mengyao asked.

"My service fee is always paid on an annual basis." Tao Feijin looked at her and laughed, "Fu Yi has already given it to me."

Hearing that he mentioned Fu Yi, Chu Mengyao's face immediately flushed red, and she lowered her head to speak, "Of course I'll pay for myself, how much should I pay this time?"

Tao Feijin raised his eyebrows, "Fu Yi said that you two were originally family, so of course he paid for it."

She was embarrassed when he teased her so, and blushed even more.

"I'll once again get to know you. My name is Tao Feijin, I'm Fu Yi's classmate and good friend." Tao Feijin laughed.

Since Fu Yi had told Tao Feijin about their relationship, then he must definitely be a good friend. Never did he expect that Tao Feijin would speak of his relationship with Fu Yi so calmly. Chu Mengyao felt a little awkward, "Chu Mengyao, is …"

Without waiting for her to speak, Tao Feijin replied, "Understood, Fu Yi's girlfriend!"

Chu Mengyao did not speak, she only felt that her face was extremely hot.

"I can feel that Fu Yi really likes you. In all the years I've known him, I've never seen him so concerned about a girl. " Tao Feijin said.

Since he said that to Fu Yi, Chu Mengyao didn't know what to say.

"In our eyes, he is just like an iceberg, with no interest in emotions at all. There are many women around him like him, but he has never cared about them. " Tao Feijin's sudden words caused Chu Mengyao to be a little shocked, "You're his first girlfriend after all."

Hearing that, Chu Mengyao did not understand, "That's impossible?" It was impossible for Fu Yi to not have gotten a girlfriend before. He was so familiar with his movements on the bed, and every time he teased her, it was always the same. She really couldn't believe that he had never been in love.

"But this is indeed the truth. Back then, when he was always together with Zhou Sichen, he had even made others misunderstand!"

Chu Mengyao could not help but perspire.

"When he talked about you to me, I was wondering why he suddenly had a girlfriend? It's really curious that he could fall in love. " Tao Feijin could not help but sigh. "That's why I'm curious about you as well, what kind of girl would make him so nervous?"

Chu Mengyao remained silent. She felt that she really didn't understand Fu Yi.

"I feel like he really cares about you. He can't bear for you to be a bit wronged and think about everything for you." Tao Feijin continued, "This kind of man is really rare."

"Why are you telling me this?" Chu Mengyao felt a little awkward.

"Naturally, I hope that you will treat him better, don't ignore him." After saying that, he rubbed his temples. "You didn't answer his phone yesterday, and he harassed me for over an hour. What a headache!"

Chu Mengyao's face immediately turned red.

He did not expect Chu Mengyao to be such a shy girl, so Tao Feijin stopped teasing her, "Have we eaten lunch together?"

"No, I have to go to the company later." After being mocked by him like this, how could she possibly eat with him! She put the contract away. "I'll have our firm's lawyers draw up a copy of the instructions you've just given them. "It's better to settle this matter as soon as possible." Right now, the matter of the penalty fee was the greatest headache for her.

"Okay, then go ahead and busy yourself. If you have any questions, just call me. " Seeing that she insisted on leaving, Tao Feijin did not try to force his to stay, "Next time, let's just let Fu Yi be the host and eat together!

Chu Mengyao was truly at a loss for words, "Lawyer Tao, goodbye."

When Chu Mengyao returned to the company, Bai Xue and Chu's's lawyer was already waiting in the office. Chu Mengyao told them about Tao Feijin's previous opinions on the dispute over the contract, and then very straightforwardly instructed, "Lawyer Zhang, follow this line of thinking and arrange an audio statement that is ineffective. Bai Xue gave this explanation to Wu's. Remember, you must personally hand it over to CEO Wu's secretary. "

Hearing this arrangement, Lawyer Zhang was a little hesitant, "Director Chu, regarding the contract disputes, do you need to ask Mr. Chu's opinion first?"

"Just do as I say, Auntie." Since Chu Mengyao said so, my aunt should be happy that the contract could be resolved so smoothly. Furthermore, after she had thought through this matter, she felt much more relaxed, but Wu Haoran's injury still made her heart heavy.

After that, Chu Mengyao then asked Lawyer Zhang in private, "How do we fix the compensation for accidental injuries?"

"This naturally depends on the damage caused by the accidental injury," Lawyer Zhang explained, "The content of the compensation is also made up of several aspects, and if necessary, it also requires a disability appraisal."

She then asked Bai Xue in private, "Have you helped me with my personal belongings?"

Bai Xue said, "It's already been dealt with, now you still have eight hundred thousand on your account. The one million and three hundred thousand that you had dealt with previously, pay the interest on the bank loan, and the other three hundred thousand is to change the heating equipment for the orphanage according to your orders."
