Chapter 307: Recommend A Lawyer to Her
Was the Cardicra Family strong?
Yes.
Could Faye make someone disappear from the face of the world without anyone knowing it?
Without a doubt.
Those were facts, but they couldn’t be shown to the public. It was the dark side of the aristocratic world that ran counter to their public facade. If they showed this, it would bring shame to them.
France was a country that espoused the values of equality and democracy. If what Faye said was released to the public, it could cause an uproar.
Faye was no ordinary person. She was one of Cardicra’s successors. She was someone whom Eric treasured.
If she were known to have this line of thinking, everyone would be pondering how she turned out like this.
Questions would inevitably be directed toward the Cardicra Family. Were they this disdainful about the sanctity of life and justice?
Countless business partners would be disappointed in the Cardicra Family for grooming a successor who saw life and liberty as nothing but disposables.
Could they find another business partner? A partner that wasn’t Cardicra Family?
Of course, they could.
Did the Cardicra Family have any enemies?
They did. Some people wanted to attack, destroy, and take their family’s everything.
They would latch on to this incriminating evidence and attack the family relentlessly with this.
Yun Xiangxiang had a lot of power behind her too. She had the Song Family, the Qi Family, the companies Yun Xiangxiang endorsed, and Cardicra’s sworn rival, MonRoe backing her. They would destroy the Cardicra Family.
If it really came down to it, the Cardicra Family would have to treat Faye as mentally ill and send her to an asylum.
Faye had three brothers. Her birth brought something different to the family. She was regarded as the angel God gave the Cardicra Family since she was little.
Eric gave her most of his love and attention. He gave her the best education and the best things in life. He gave her everything she wanted.
Faye used to be his pride and joy. But after Song Mian rejected her, she became obsessed with him. He was the first thing she loved that she couldn’t obtain.
Eric once tried to talk with Song Chi as Faye’s father, not the Cardicra Family head. Song Chi refused to arrange Song Mian’s marriage.
Eric knew Faye and Song Mian couldn’t be a couple from then on. He started stopping Faye from pursuing Song Mian.
Song Mian avoided Faye too. Eric thought time would heal everything, but it didn’t. What it did was only make Faye even more obsessed.
If that obsession were triggered, Faye would go crazy and unreasonable.
“Yun, I apologize for the damage Faye has done to you. How can I make it up to you?”
Eric was an experienced businessman. Since Yun Xiangxiang let him hear this recording before she reported it, that meant that negotiations could still be done. Eric asked her to name her terms.
Yun Xiangxiang didn’t want to make an enemy out of Eric. If she made what Faye said public, Faye wouldn’t be the only one who was hurt. Everyone would lose in this battle.
She didn’t want to rely on Song Mian for every single problem she came across.
“Mr. Eric, you will find the answer to your question if you read the Chinese news about me.” Yun Xiangxiang was unwilling to speak further. “Sorry for taking up your precious time.”
Yun Xiangxiang planned to call He Wei after she hung up on Eric. She wanted to ask him to get ready with the lawsuit.
This was the first time Yun Xiangxiang was involved in a news story like this. She had to punish the enemy severely.
It was a warning to everyone else. The media better think twice before exposing her news.
But Li Xiangling called her before Yun Xiangxiang could get He Wei. She asked Yun Xiangxiang about her condition. ” You’re looking for a lawyer, aren’t you?” Li Xiangling asked when she heard her friend saying she was fine.
“Yes. It’s not just an empty threat. If I don’t follow it through, everyone will come after me,” Yun Xiangxiang replied.
“I can recommend one to you. He just got his lawyer’s license and hasn’t gotten any big cases yet,” said Li Xiangling.
“Aiyo, who could make you ask for his help?” Yun Xiangxiang wanted to know which boy made Li Xiangling ask for his help. The girl seldom asked for help, not even from her friends.
“He’s a senior of mine and has helped me a lot. He interned in a law firm for more than a year. He assisted in a lot of court cases,” Li Xiangling was highly recommending him.
“Is he just a senior?” Yun Xiangxiang drawled.
Nobody could blame her for thinking in any other way. Li Xiangling was particular in the interaction with the opposite sex. She should know Yun Xiangxiang was going to win this.
Li Xiangling was helping her senior. Many eyes were on Yun Xiangxiang’s case.
Many actors would frustrate themselves over the issue of their reputation. Fighting for Yun Xiangxiang meant Li Xiangling’s senior would have made the first step into the lawyer’s world. Whether he could secure a spot in it depended on himself.
“He’s just a senior. I will tell you as soon as I have someone I like,” Li Xiangling emphasized.
“Okay, Xiangling. I trust your judgment. I will ask Brother Wei to hire the lawyer you recommended to me.”
Yun Xiangxiang trusted that Li Xiangling only thought of the boy as her friend. “Xiangling, remember this. You might see him as nothing but a senior, but he might see you as more than a friend.”
If Li Xiangling didn’t clarify, the boy could misunderstand what Li Xiangling was thinking, potentially ruining their friendship.
Li Xiangling was silent. “I understand. I will take some time to make it clear to him.”
“En, send his info to me,” Yun Xiangxiang nodded and hung up.
Yun Xiangxiang sent her his name, phone number, and the place where he worked. Yun Xiangxiang was about to see it when Qi Jun called her. He also asked Yun Xiangxiang whether she was looking for a lawyer.”
Yun Xiangxiang laughed, “Do you guys think that my company is there for show?”
She was one of the company’s actresses. Yun Xiangxiang might have no connections, but Huan Yu did. The company had already hired legal counsel for her.
Why is everyone so worried that I can’t get a lawyer?
“Huh? Who’s being this helpful?” Qi Jun was curious.
“It’s Xiangling. She recommended her senior to me, and I have agreed to hire him. So I won’t be needing that famous lawyer of yours, Young Master Qi.”
“You want a newbie to defend you?” Qi Jun retorted.
Qi Jun wasn’t looking down on newbie lawyers. But being a lawyer needed experience and fame.
Newbie lawyers would easily make mistakes. True, every great lawyer started as a newbie.
But Qi Jun didn’t want Yun Xiangxiang to be the whetstone for them.
“It’s fine. If Xiangling recommended him to me, she must be confident in his skills. I trust Xiangling’s judgment. It’s hard for newbies to enter the world of lawyers. Just take this as us youngsters taking care of each other.”
It wasn’t just because she trusted Xiangling, but she knew going to court for this case was a formality. Yun Xiangxiang believed that Eric would provide her with all the necessary evidence to win.
“Is he your friend’s boyfriend?” Qi Jun asked a stupid question.
Yun Xiangxiang denied, feeling amused. “Just a senior to her.”
When she handed the info of the lawyer she wanted to hire to He Wei. Even he questioned her decision.
He Wei chose to trust and believe in Yun Xiangxiang when she guaranteed that this was okay. He didn’t use the lawyer that the company would always hire.
