Ling Yue stirred her favorite milk coffee, bored. Today, she promised to meet with Wei Nuan at one of the luxury restaurants not far from the biggest mall of the city M. Wei Nuan choose the place because it was famous for their security and privacy. Considering her client was a famous supermodel, Ling Yue agreed without thinking, but the one who promised didn't come yet.
Forty five minutes after the exact appointment, Wei Nuan appeared alone, with large sunglasses covering half her face. She only nodded slightly while sitting across from Ling Yue. No words or apologies for being late. Ling Yue nodded back, trying to sound indignant and professional, she greeted, "Mrs. Qi."
"How? You can process it immediately, right?" she asked and mentioned her order to the waiter nearby
"Does your husband know you want to sue for divorce?"
Pause for a moment, Mrs. Qi shook her head. "No, he doesn't know. You will tell him. I have a photo shoot overseas for the next month, I hope after I get home, I'll get the results I want."
Ling Yu pushed up her glasses. She stared fixedly at this magical creature wrapped in human skin. "Mrs. Qi, how can you divorce him without the person concerned knowing?"
"I thought you could process it without asking too many questions." she sipped red wine in her hand immediately after it came and touched the table.
Whaat?
Ling Yue suddenly wanted to run home and cry. This was the first and the most unreasonable client she would defend.
"Mrs. Qi, If--"
"Alright, you can go first Miss Ling. I will pay for your order," Wei Nuan gestured her hand, letting Ling Yue leave hurriedly. "I have an appointment to meet someone else after this."
Ling Yue smiled. A smile that doesn't reach the eyes. "Of course Mrs. Qi."
"Oh yeah," Wei Nuan stopped Ling Yue's steps. She pulled out something from her clutch and gave it to Ling Yue. "Add this to my divorce term. Next time we meet, all I have to do is sign it, are we clear?"
Ling Yue's smile disappeared completely. "Yes, of course, if that's what you want." She took the fold paper and came out from there.
Wei Nuan looked at Ling Yue who disappeared behind the restaurant's glass door. She tilted her head. For a moment, she was afraid if she had offended her lawyer. But not so long, she threw her mind away and shrugged her shoulders. That ugly lawyer was a commoner. She couldn't be from 'that' Ling family, right?
Outside the restaurant, Ling Yue opened the paper in her hand. It was handwritten, contained several property names in the City M, a luxury Villa on the S hill and a series of nominal numbers and account numbers.
Looks like Mrs. Qi plans to rob her own husband. Ling Yue was now sure that the woman really didn't want to sustain her marriage anymore. Her hand clenched, and her mouth impatient to curse Wei Nuan.
She kept walking, trying to calm her anger. Her feet brought Ling Yue into the biggest shopping center there. The fastest way to relieve an anger is shopping. Yup! Ling Yue walked in and out of famous stores to please her eyes. No one managed to attract her attention until she saw a man mannequin wearing a cool formal party suit.
Ling Yue took a few steps back and saw that it was a famous tailor boutique in the city M. Ling Yue had seen her hold a fashion show when she was an apprentice in the States. Ling Yue decided to look inside. A phone call came in when she was holding a mannequin in blue night work.
"Where are you?"
"Me? I'm looking for a future husband," Ling Yue answered indifferently when she saw the name displayed on the screen of her phone.
"WHAT?!" the sound at the end of the connection goes up a few octaves.
"Yeah, I see someone better looking and cooler than you. I thought, why not marry him?"
"Pfftt...."
Ling Yue twisted her body when she heard someone laughing at her.
