Chapter 574

Shu Xia's voice was not loud; one could not detect much anger in it, nor could one tell if her composure and stubbornness were feigned.

But her rebuttal was simply impossible to ignore.

A girl who looked very pretty and delicate, yet moved quickly and ruthlessly when taking action, and remained calm and unhurried when encountering trouble.

Both the lawyer and Huo Tianye were stunned for a moment.

Then, Huo Tianye found it somewhat amusing, "Are you so well-protected by your family that you don't know how sinister society is?"

"She is right; you are the ones who should pay compensation. I will not let today's matter go just like that." Jiang Nannan looked at Huo Tianye with a face full of disgust.

Huo Tianye was speechless, "We are family, after all. There is no benefit for you in offending me. Grandfather already doesn't like you; if you provoke me again, aren't you afraid Grandfather will make Huo Jingyan divorce you?"

Jiang Nannan gritted her teeth and sneered, "I'm not afraid."

There was nothing to be afraid of.

Isn't it just a divorce?

It was exactly what she wanted; she was hoping for a divorce! If Huo Laoye could make Huo Jingyan divorce her, then she would truly feel that Huo Laoye had done the most correct thing.

Huo Tianye let out a cold laugh; he did not believe Jiang Nannan would spit out meat that was already in her mouth.

Given the current situation, under the aggressive pressure from Huo Tianye and the lawyer, Shu Xia and Jiang Nannan were at a disadvantage.

However.

Just at this moment.

The appearance of a figure caused the lawyer beside Huo Tianye to go from initial astonishment to shock.

"Lu Ze..."

"Lawyer Lu, sorry, I've disturbed your rest time again today," Shu Xia said to Lu Ze as he walked over.

Lu Ze nodded at Shu Xia, "It's nothing. I happened to be nearby and learned about the situation on the way. Leave this matter to me; don't worry."

Furthermore, Qiao Muting was right outside. Before coming in, he had told him that Huo Tianye had grown bold enough to want to sleep with his wife, so this time he would properly discipline Huo Tianye on behalf of Huo Laoye.

Upon seeing Lu Ze, Huo Tianye thought he had seen wrong, and then his eyes gradually widened.

Jiang Nannan had never met Lu Ze.

But by the looks of it, he seemed quite formidable.

And looking at Huo Tianye and the others, they also seemed very surprised.

Huo Tianye immediately looked at Shu Xia again; how could she know Lu Ze?

Lu Ze was an extremely difficult person to deal with, and behind him was Qiao Muting. The person he feared offending most in Jing City was Qiao Muting; that man was too ruthless in his methods.

No wonder the beauty could remain completely unruffled; it turned out she had a backer! She looked quite arrogant; perhaps she had already been played to ruin by someone.

Just at this moment, Huo Tianye's phone suddenly rang.

Huo Tianye took a glance.

Seeing it was Grandfather, he immediately answered, "Grandfather?"

From the phone, Huo Laoye's furious scolding came through, "Get back here right now! Do you have any idea what kind of good deed you've done?"

"Grandfather, I... I'm outside, I haven't done anything?" Huo Tianye was completely confused.

Grandfather had always doted on him, and he knew how to coax Grandfather into a good mood; Grandfather rarely yelled at him.

Why was Grandfather scolding him the moment he opened his mouth today?

It was as if he had caused some massive disaster.

"Haven't done anything? You've caused a scene at the police station, and you call that nothing? I never interfere with you playing around with women outside, but today you provoked someone you shouldn't have! Do you have any idea what kind of good deed you've done?" Huo Laoye's head was aching terribly.

Besides knowing how to coax him into a good mood, what else could this grandson do?

Today, he had actually caused such a huge disaster!

"Someone I shouldn't have provoked?" Huo Tianye frowned, "I know her husband is a criminal police officer, but my lawyer can resolve this matter, don't worry, Grandfather."

Hearing that her husband was a criminal police officer, Jiang Nannan blinked.

Shu Xia glanced at Lu Ze, feeling that the misunderstanding had deepened even further.

Lu Ze raised an eyebrow; he understood why Qiao Muting was so angry. Huo Tianye was clearly blind and mentally ill today.
