Chapter 145: What Will It Take for You to Mediate?

Zhou Yue sat at the table in the mediation room, lifting her wrist to check her watch from time to time, then turning her head to look out the window, her expression growing increasingly impatient.

Lawyer Fang Hao sat in a chair to the side with great composure, quietly flipping through the case files in his hands.

He was a renowned gold-medal lawyer in the Jiangzhou legal circle, usually taking on major cases; for a case like this, a purely civil dispute involving only two million or so, it was truly using a butcher's knife to slaughter a chicken.

But the other party was from the Li Family, and that alone made him afraid to be negligent.

Not to mention that Ms. Zhou had subsequent demands for him.

According to her, with just one word from her, she could make the Jiangzhou Bank Shangcheng Branch recall that two-billion loan, and she wanted him to find a way to pursue Bai Weiwei's liability for violating financial regulations in processing the loan; by comparison, this task was at least a little bit challenging.

A pure black Cullinan drove into the branch courtyard.

Seeing this car, Zhou Yue stood up with a "thump," her gaze fixed firmly on the vehicle.

Lawyer Fang Hao, sitting nearby, was startled, not knowing what was going on.

"Ms. Zhou, is this the other party's car?" Fang Hao hurriedly stood up to ask.

"That's right, it's that bastard Chen Shimei's car; he's actually quite punctual." There was a note of mockery in Zhou Yue's tone, but a flash of excitement crossed her eyes.

He's here, that bastard Lin Dazhi is here!

Today, she must make Lin Dazhi kneel down and beg her! She would make him properly taste the flavor of pain and torment as well!

Zhou Yue watched the car door open and Lin Dazhi step out.

However, it was only Lin Dazhi alone.

A look of disappointment flashed through her eyes.

She had thought that Bai Weiwei would come along, or perhaps Zhang Xiaoli.

Thinking of Zhang Xiaoli, an even deeper hatred flashed in her eyes!

This bitch actually dared to use such a method to insult her brother and insult their Zhou Family!

She would make Zhang Xiaoli pay the most painful price!

Holding the power given by the Li Family, Zhou Yue learned many things she hadn't known before, including the fact that her brother Zhou Xiaojun being arrested for soliciting prostitutes was the result of Zhang Xiaoli tipping them off!

That slut had been plotting against Xiaojun and their Zhou Family from the very beginning!

Including the fact that she worked at Lin Dazhi's company without taking a single cent of salary, calling it "striving together," when in reality she just didn't want their Zhou Family to get a single cent of the assets!

What a loud and clear wishful thinking she had!

And she kept saying she wanted to save her virginity for marriage, yet she ended up rolling in the sheets with Lin Dazhi behind Zhou Xiaojun's back; what was even more excessive was that on the very day of the wedding, she actually wore the wedding dress their Zhou Family paid for and acted intimately with Lin Dazhi right in front of her!

These scenes, one after another, each and every one, were like knives stabbing into her chest, making her hurt so much she couldn't sleep!

This slut really deserves to die!

She thought that by using such methods she could curry favor with Lin Dazhi and live the high life with him—how ridiculous!

She wanted to see what kind of expression would be on that delicate, pretty little face of hers when Lin Dazhi was reduced to a penniless pauper again!

She would make that slut Zhang Xiaoli kneel before her brother's bed and kowtow, begging their Zhou Family for forgiveness like the lowliest bitch!

She would make this slut contract the same disease as her brother and taste that life-worse-than-death feeling!

She would make this slut become a penniless pauper and go roll on the streets to beg for food! No, that would be too easy on her; it would be best to make her go straight into prostitution, then have Xiaojun solicit her and pass the venereal disease to her!

Nothing less than that could resolve the hatred in her heart!

The more Zhou Yue thought, the more excited she became, her gaze locked onto Lin Dazhi; watching his unhurried steps, Zhou Yue wished he could be faster, just a little faster!

She watched Lin Dazhi walk to the door of the mediation room and push it open.

The two of them locked eyes.

Lin Dazhi smiled and greeted her.

"Hello there, ex-wife."

Hearing this address, Zhou Yue sneered and said, "I'm not good, Lin Dazhi. When I see you, I'm not good. Only when you are not good can I be good!"

When Zhou Yue said these words, she said them through gritted teeth; anyone could hear the intense hatred in her tone.

Lin Dazhi didn't mind, walking over with a smile and sitting down opposite her.

At one end of the long table sat a policewoman, who, seeing that both had arrived, explained the mediation procedure to them and then said, "Then let's begin. Which of you two will speak first?"

"Let her speak first," Lin Dazhi said to the policewoman with a smile.

"Alright, Ms. Zhou Yue, you may begin." The policewoman nodded to Zhou Yue.

Zhou Yue crossed her arms, her face, painted with exquisite makeup, wearing an indifferent expression, slightly tilted up; she pointed at Lin Dazhi with her sharp chin and said mockingly, "Lin Dazhi, I thought you would bring those few sluts with you. How come you came alone?"

Hearing her words, Lin Dazhi chuckled and said, "It's no big deal, I can just come by myself."

"No big deal? Lin Dazhi, you fucking say that lightly! Do you know how many days my mother has been locked up inside? Did a dog eat your conscience? You heartless thing, isn't it just that she smashed a broken TV and a broken sound system of yours? What are you acting so smug for?" Zhou Yue cursed without mercy.

Lawyer Fang Hao, standing to the side, saw his expression turn extremely ugly upon hearing Zhou Yue's words.

He hadn't expected this "auntie" to be so fierce right from the start; this wasn't mediation at all, this was clearly coming to start a fight!

The policewoman in charge of the mediation couldn't listen anymore either, frowning as she said, "Ms. Zhou, please watch your language and do not engage in personal attacks!"

Lin Dazhi was cheerful, with no sign of anger on his face.

Hearing the policewoman's words, he even helped persuade her, "It's fine, it's fine, she's just like this, I don't mind."

Zhou Yue had been cursing with gusto, but hearing Lin Dazhi's words felt like punching a cotton ball. The other party didn't respond at all, and in particular, showed no sign of anger, which gave her a strong sense of frustration.

"Comrade ex-wife, verbal abuse won't solve the problem. Since you called me to resolve things, let's talk about the resolution, shall we?" Lin Dazhi said to Zhou Yue with a gentle smile.

"Fine, tell me then, what will it take for you to sign the mediation agreement?" Zhou Yue crossed her arms and said with an arrogant look.

"It's simple: pay the price for the things that were smashed, and have your mother apologize to me and Xiaoli. If you do these two things, I'll sign," Lin Dazhi said with a chuckle.

"What? Make my mother apologize to you and that slut Zhang Xiaoli? Lin Dazhi, what kind of fucking pipe dream are you having?" Upon hearing this topic, Zhou Yue couldn't hold it in anymore; she stood up with a "thump" and pointed at Lin Dazhi's nose, cursing.
