Chapter 320: She Has Her Reasons

"Even if she has a reason, even if she has hidden hardships, why can't she just say it?" Chen Yu frowned and said.

"If it can be said out loud, then it is no longer a hidden hardship." Ning Ruoxue rolled her eyes at Chen Yu and said, "Spend more time with her after a while and clear up the misunderstanding."

"We'll see." Chen Yu shook his head with a bitter smile.

"You're divorced now, so does that mean I can do whatever I want?" Ning Ruoxue giggled.

"What, are you planning to marry me?" Chen Yu asked.

"No such plan." Ning Ruoxue shook her head and said, "I've said it before, I'm content just being a woman by your side. As for marriage, it's impossible for me in this lifetime."

"Especially with you being so outstanding, I don't know how many vixens are eyeing you, but I have a question I want to ask you."

"What question?" Chen Yu asked.

"What kind of feelings do you actually have for Ye Xinyu?" Ning Ruoxue asked seriously.

"I don't know." Chen Yu shook his head, and he said with some confusion, "My feelings for her seem to come from the original owner of this body. But they also seem to come from the depths of my heart; my feelings for her seem to be innate, as if something in the dark has linked my fate with hers, impossible to sever."

"I understand." Ning Ruoxue nodded slightly, and she said leisurely, "But at least this body gave you a chance to live again. No matter what, be good to them."

"I will." Chen Yu nodded. When he was reborn, he had already decided that after giving her a life of abundance and peace, he would then talk about leaving.

Suddenly, a group of people arrived at the bar aggressively. Leading them was a girl with an arrogant expression and her nose in the air; one look and it was clear she was someone spoiled rotten by her family.

"This place is closed tonight, everyone get out!" The girl said as she grabbed a bottle of liquor and smashed it heavily onto the floor.

The bar lights came on, and several men walked over to the stage where music was playing and rudely turned it off; the room suddenly brightened up.

"Everyone, may I ask what is going on?" Xiao Mu walked out with a smile, "Beautiful lady, let's discuss whatever the matter is."

"This is none of your business, I'm looking for that bitch." The girl impatiently pushed Xiao Mu aside and pointed at Ning Ruoxue.

Xiao Mu's face sank slightly, and he was about to lose his temper. Ning Ruoxue was his benefactor, and he would not allow anyone to insult her like this.

"Xiao Mu, go back to work, I'll handle this." Ning Ruoxue downed the drink in her glass and stood up.

"Ning Ruoxue, you're quite good at hiding, aren't you? It took me a lot of effort to find you holed up in this little bar." The girl looked arrogant, "Do you know why I'm looking for you?"

"First of all, I'm not hiding; I just like to sit in the bar when I'm free. Secondly, I don't know you. We can talk about whatever it is slowly, don't disturb the other guests." Ning Ruoxue smiled slightly.

"My brother is Wang Jun, now you know, right? You are representing a lawsuit where my brother is the defendant." The girl pointed at herself and said, "I am his sister, Wang Jing."

"Now that you mention it, I remember. I recently took on a rape case for a girl. That girl is the victim, and your brother is the perpetrator."

Ning Ruoxue suddenly realized, "Your brother drugged her, then used violence to threaten the girl, and furthermore assaulted her. Now the girl has been assessed with a Level 3 disability."

"Because of the heinous nature of the crime and the massive public outcry, your brother is now facing over ten years in prison."

"You surnamed Ning, I didn't come here today to listen to you recite legal statutes. Tell me, how can you drop the lawsuit, or stop representing this case?" Wang Jing demanded angrily.

"Why would I drop the lawsuit? And why would I stop representing this case? The victim is very pitiful; I am upholding justice for her. Is that wrong?" Ning Ruoxue smiled.

"Because of you, there is no lawyer in Fengling who dares to defend my brother now. This is one million." The girl put down a bank card, "As long as you drop the lawsuit or wash your hands of it, this one million is yours."

"I didn't file the lawsuit for the girl for money." Ning Ruoxue shook her head, "And I'm not short of this money."

"Ning Ruoxue, you're just a lawyer, do you really think you're some big shot?" Wang Jing sneered, "I haven't finished speaking yet. Either you take the million and drop the case, or I'll use this Dagger to scar your face."

As the girl spoke, she took a Dagger from one of the burly men behind her and slammed it into the table. She said coldly, "Choose one."

"Threatening me?" Ning Ruoxue swirled the red wine in her hand and glanced at the girl with cold eyes, "Little sister, it's best you don't get involved in adult matters. Your brother did something wrong, so naturally, he must be punished."

"Besides, my boyfriend is still here. When you were threatening me, did you think about how he would feel?" Ning Ruoxue pointed at Chen Yu.

"You're her boyfriend?" Wang Jing glanced at Chen Yu.

"Yes, I am her boyfriend now." Chen Yu nodded seriously.

"Let me give you a piece of advice: leave this woman. My family runs a company, and our annual net profit is over one hundred million. Do you think it would cost ten million for me to buy both of your lives?" Wang Jing put her hands on the table, leaned down, and stared straight at Chen Yu.

"Your family earns that much a year?" Chen Yu was stunned, "What is your company's name?"

"Santong Logistics. We are the designated logistics company for Tianyun Group. You know Tianyun, right? A very large Chinese medicine enterprise. Several of their herbal medicines are now popular nationwide, and they've even started selling abroad."

"The daily shipping volume is astonishing. My dad handles forty percent of Tianyun's logistics. Your girlfriend is just a lousy lawyer; it wouldn't be hard for me to pay to buy her life, would it?"

Wang Jing looked at Ning Ruoxue with pity, "Advise your girlfriend; it's really not worth losing your life over this."

"Judging by your tone, have you bought lives before?" Chen Yu looked up and asked.

"Heh, based on my old temper, this woman would have already been riddled with holes. Do you know who I used to hang out with? Yu Sichun, the daughter of the Yu Family." Wang Jing snorted, "We have a sisterhood, and in our eyes, men are just dogs."

"Impressive, truly impressive." Chen Yu put on a scared act. He took out his phone and dialed Song Mengyan's number, "Mengyan, do you know Santong Logistics?"

"I know them, they are our logistics partner. Their company is considered quite strong. What's wrong?" Song Mengyan asked.

"Cancel our logistics partnership with them. If the person in charge of that company asks why, tell them to ask their precious daughter what happened." Chen Yu smiled.

"Okay, right away." Song Mengyan said without hesitation.

She had a near-blind trust in Chen Yu. If Chen Yu said to cancel the partnership, she would cancel it without ever asking a single word more.

"Haha, who are you talking to on the phone?" Wang Jing laughed loudly, "Judging by your tone, someone who didn't know better would think you were talking to the CEO of Tianyun Group, Song Mengyan."
