Looking at them, An Lan felt gratified. She liked Nian Junting. But the latter did not share the same feelings. So she believed that becoming work partners with him was a good enough choice.
...
Yi Jingxi drove all the way back to the Yi Group building. As soon as he entered the office, he kicked the table gruffly and yelled with anger, âWhere the hell is Jin Chengpeng? Didnât I call him on my way?â
âIt takes about an hour for him to get here from his law firm.â Zeng Zhun followed him closely into the office. After answering his question, Zeng Zhun continued helplessly, âMr. Yi, I think the current situation isnât good for you. You should turn yourself in. Now, Luosang is going to charge you with two counts. If you take the initiative to confess, the judge might give you a lighter sentence. Even if youâre not thinking of yourself, you need to think of your mother. Sheâs over fifty years old, and has been living in a nursing home. If you went to prison, who would take care of her? If that did happen, I think you may as well sell the shares of the company. At the very least, you can ensure your motherâs quality of life while youâre in prison...â
Before he finished his rambling thought, Yi Jingxi punched him in the face. âDo you want me to go to prison?â Yi Jingxu grasped his collar, raging, and shouted, âZeng Zhun, are you on my side or on Nian Juntingâs? Donât you forget that you got what you have now with my help. Why didnât you say so when I was going all good? Iâm surprised that youâre that kind of man.â
Zeng Zhunâs eyes showed disappointment, because Yi Jingxi continually doubted him.
âMr. Yi, do you still not understand? To win this case, you need both strong manpower and financial power. Itâs the first time An Lan has engaged in a lawsuit like this, but youâve seen how capable she is. She must have lots of evidence. Iâve checked. Nian Junting has found some of your motherâs classmates and convinced them to testify. A lot of things are going against you. Lawyer Cao might have a chance to win this, but for Lawyer Jin, the chance is way too small. Unless you sell the Xu familyâs house for cash... Except for that house, you have already mortgaged your other real properties and cars for the company...â
âI will sell that house over my dead body.â Yi Jinxiâs eyes suddenly turned red, and he choked, âThatâs all I have.â Except for his memories in that house, he had nothing.
âJingxi, just give up.â Zeng Zhun tried to persuade him with a bitter smile. âYouâve already made too many mistakes. If you didnât send Xu Zhengxuan to prison and force Xu Luosang to stay around, things may not be as bad as they are today.â
âThereâs no way back for me.â Yi Jingxi shambled a few steps backward and leaned against the table behind him. A while later, he murmured, âIâm going to sell my shares of Yi Group and use the money on the lawsuit. Contact buyers now.â He abruptly raised his head and continued, âIâm going to hire Lawyer Cao.â
Zeng Zhun frowned, feeling extra helpless.
...
The news that Yi Jingxi intended to sell the shares of Yi Group spread quickly. The next day, Nian Junting and Luosang, who stayed in An City, heard about it.
âIt seems that Yi Jingxi has no intention of confessing.â Xu Luosang was a little disappointed. She thought that Yi Jingxi would at least have some conscience left. If he confessed, she might not put him in a desperate situation. After all, he had a mother to take care of.
