An abusive laughter echoed in the room. He slammed hard his cup, "Sue me? I can sue you and your whole family! I can even revoke your legal license so you can't work in this country anymore! You should be afraid and hide for the rest of your life."
Ling Yue let out a laughed, underestimated him. "Why should I be afraid of lawyers like you? Lawyers who turn a blind eye to justice just because of dirty money and dignity!"
Her lips pressed into a straight line. A sarcams could be detect from her voice. She put the files back to her bag, stood and walked to the door. Her left hand pulled the knob. Out of the blue, she waved her pen, clicking sound heard before she shoved it into her pocket.
"I can also sue you for threatening," Ling Yue smirked, pat her pocket provokely. "I will let your boss know about that."
An Ruan swept the glasses on the table. His body trembled with fury. "I'll close your mouth tightly!" he roared. An Ruan did not expect that ugly woman carrying a pen recorder.
Ling Yue quickly stepped out of the room. Before she reached the elevator, someone grabbed her shoulder harshly. Ling Yue was surprised and shrieked. Her voice attract unwanted attention. Unknowingly, her body launched a martial arts movement that she had long forgotten. The people there saw their famous lawyer flew over her shoulder and landed on the floor, very uncool.
Ling Yue strigthened her back and seen clearly who it was.
"Mr. An, I can add harassement on my charge. I wonder how many years that will be," she mocked him.
"What is going on here?"
A cold rang out behind Ling Yue. His voice made Ling Yue shivered. The room suddenly dropped by a few degrees. No one moved. Ling Yue slowly turned her back and saw two men stepped out the lift.
The man who stood a few steps ahead from the person behind him was clad in a high quality handmade suit. The aura emitted from his body felt both terrifying yet attractive. His handsome face had no expressions. The clenched jaw made him looked more firm. His sword-like eyebrows framed his hawk eyes, making him look sexy, and the lips...
"What is going on?!" He asked again, staring intently at her, like digging a hole in her eye and glanced at the man on the floor.
An Ruan stood up quickly and pushed her aside.
"Mr. CEO, this ugly woman here--"
"Brother Jian?" a soft mumbled slip from her lips. Ling Yue wasn't sure. She had known this face before but now he had more mature and formidable featured.
Xi Jian narrowed his eyes. "Who are you?"
"Listen to me sir, this ugly woman is en--"
Ling Yue elbowed him. She took off her glasses and corrected her bangs which were always formed by Ling Huansheng.
"It's me, Ling Yue! Do you still remember me?" her eyes widened. "It is really you, brother Jian?"
An Ruan stunned. Where was the ugly woman before? The woman here was truly the appearance of a goddess. He could see clearly her flawless skin and her lovely eyes. A bead of sweat sparkled at her forehead, but it made her more dazzling.
Xi Jian stared blankly. The woman in front of him was the woman who haunted him all the years. And when a melodious-bell-voice called his name, Xi Jian felt his heart clenched hard before started pounding.
The shame, frustration, excitement, and horror about that night began to shape the images he tried to forget. He almost raped her, yet here she smiled while facing him.
"Brother Jian?" Ling Yue waved her hand in front of his face.
All the worker's King Empire at that floor were shocked. No one ever dare called the CEO intimately in public.
Bai Xu stepped in. During the past five years he worked under Xi Jian, he had never seen his boss absentminded.
"My name is Bai Xu, Miss Ling. I'm Mr. Xi Jian's assistant and his head secretary. May I know what is going on?" He glanced at his boss. "Do you know our CEO, Miss Ling?"
Ling Yue still glued her stare at Xi Jian' s eyes. She nodded. "Yes. As long as I remember. He stills my brother's bestfriend."
Ling Yue smiled broke beautifully. Bai Xu cleared his throat which suddenly felt dry. This young woman knew how to used her weapon well.
"I see." Bai Xu and turned his head aside. He called Xi Jian back to earth. "Mr. Xi?"
"Can I talk to you for a minute? This concerns a case involving the King Empire." Ling Yue grabbed Xi Jian's sleeves.
When he heard the word 'case', An Ruan regained his composure. Bai Xu glared at him. Although Bai Xu merely an assistant, his work effectiveness and perfection were almost like Xi Jian. Sometimes he resolved all problems when Xi Jian gave it to him. Xi Jian really trust him.
"I believed here Mr. An will solved our company's legal issues" He said politely when his boss still 'nowhere'.
"Mr. Bai, there was a misunderstanding. You don't need to worry." An Ruan sputtered.
"I think you should be worry yourself, Mr. An. I just decided to sue you!" Ling Yue smiled sweetly yet icilly.
