Chapter 50 - Bad News (2)

"What?" Xi Jian made the two people in front of him turn their heads.

"Hmm ... I will come back—" Ling Yue narrowed her eyes. 'Is that Wei Nuan?' she asked herself. Like telepathy, Wei Nuan recognized her too.

"Oh, isn't this my ex-lawyer from DuChen?" her voice was shrill and made-up.

Ling Yue pushed up her glasses. "Umm, hello Miss Wei," she said politely.

"What are you doing here?" Wei Nuan looked at her and Xi Jian, took turns.

"If you have no other business get out of here!" Xi Jian sat back on his couch.

"Sorry, I'll be back later." Ling Yue turned her back.

"Where are you going?" Xi Jian looks upset. "I didn't tell you to come out. Bai Xu, please take this woman out!"

"Wait! What do you mean? Our business is not over yet!" Wei Nuan circled the table and sat next to him. Xi Jian stood up and brushed her hand away as Wei Nuan touched him, making the woman fall.

Ling Yue was like watching a soap opera in the theater. It feels like she wants to sit and chew popcorn while waiting for this to be over.

"GET OUT!" he snapped.

Ling Yue was shocked and scared when Xi Jian's voice sounded so hateful. She stood still without daring to move, afraid that further anger would be directed at her. Bai Xu helped Wei Nuan to stand up.

"You should come out Miss Wei, I will escort you," he persuaded. Bai Xu himself, was afraid. After not seeing angry Xi Jian for so long.

"Honey, listen to me first! If it wasn't for that woman, we would still be together now. The woman who trapped you should be in prison. I'll find out who she is and sue her!" Wei Nuan whined. "That night you should be with me. Not with that woman! Your leg is even hurt because of that bitch! I still love you Xi Jiaaaann. Let me go!" Bai Xu wasted no time and dragged her out.

She looked at Wei Nuan who was crying miserable, without her sunglasses and her face full of makeup smeared with tears. Ling Yue suddenly felt familiar, but she could not remember where she had met her before they have a client and lawyer relationship.

'Your leg is even hurt...'

That sentence rang something in her memory. Ling Yue widened her eyes, felt horror. 'Don't tell me...'

"Is she..." Ling Yue gulped. Xi Jian just looked at her, his face looked tired.

Xi Jian once suspected his ex-girlfriend had poisoned his drink and framed him. He could not find Wei Nuan after that incident. Xi Jian digs up information about her but finds nothing. Later, he then knews she finally married the Qi family. Xi Jian considers it the past and forgets it. But she suddenly appeared and said love him.

"I'm sorry," Ling Yue's small voice heard.

"For what?" Xi Jian tilted his head.

Ling Yue lifted her face. "For everything." Today was really a bad day for her. Two cases of her old client suddenly appear before her and worse, Ling Yue just found out that her former client was Xi Jian's girlfriend at that time.

They stared with each other's thoughts. Their memories both drifted to what happened seven years ago. And what Xi Jian remembered was Ling Yue's almost naked body. He cleared his throat, took out a pen and file on his desk.

"It's not your fault. Forget it. What business do you have here?" Xi Jian's attention was trying to focus on the file in front of him.

"Have you heard about Mrs. Wang's case? Do you still remember? Can I go back to DuChen and settle it?" Ling Yue remembered her purpose for coming here.

Xi Jian paused. "No," he replied. "You are here. So King Empire is your responsibility now." His tone of voice doesn't want to be disputed.

Ling Yue didn't want to argue and get treated like Wei Nuan earlier. Bai Xu reentered when Ling Yue thought hard.

"Alright, I'll go to Tong Zhou district and find out myself," finally she said something after a long pause.
