The unprecedented anger made Nan Yan stunned.
She belatedly opened the car door and got out of the car. Before she could stand still, the Bentley flew away like the wind.
By the time Nan Yan reacted, her face was already wet.
She raised her hand and touched it, her tears were frozen.
Lu Huaijing...is he so heartless?
Nan Yan was heartbroken, but what happened next was beyond her control.
The lawyer we had just negotiated with a few days ago suddenly made a call to Nan Yan, "...I'm really sorry, Miss Gu, we can't take your order. You'd better...find another one!"
Her hands shook and her heart sank uncontrollably, but she still struggled: "Lawyer Wang, didn't we agree before? I can pay double the commission, as long as you can fight this lawsuit-"
"This is not a matter of money, Miss Gu." Lawyer Wang was a little helpless, and finally sighed and said: "Our law firm is very small, and we can't accept no more cases just because of your case. I say this, you understand ?"
The words have reached this point, and Nan Yan has already understood most of it.
She didn't want to embarrass anyone, so she could only break her teeth and swallow it in her stomach. Her voice trembled and she said: "I understand, thank you very much."
After hanging up the phone, Nanyan looked for several law firms, but when he heard Gu Nanyan's last name or heard the keywords related to this matter, they all rejected them without exception.
Some even hung up the phone upon hearing the name.
She sat on the chair with some exhaustion, staring at the ground blankly, the sound of her heart breaking was very clear.
The only one who has the ability to make all the law firms in Nancheng refuse to accept her orders is the Lu family.
Lu Huaijing...
Nan Yan's eyes were sore, and tears fell down directly.
He really wanted to kill them all.
Thinking of what happened these days, Nan Yan felt even more uncomfortable, and a thought gradually emerged in her mind.
If she went to Lu Huaijing in person to explain things clearly, would everything be solved?
As she said, Nan Yan changed her clothes and took a taxi to Lu's.
As a pyramid-like existence in Nancheng, Lu's has always been a landmark building.
When Nan Yan walked into the lobby, the front desk lady was the first to speak: "Miss, who are you looking for?"
She frowned slightly and was silent for a moment before asking, "Excuse me, is Lu Huaijing here?"
After three years of marriage, she had come to Lu's only a handful of times. It was understandable that she didn't know her the day before yesterday.
What's more, no one outside knew that Lu Huaijing was married.
The receptionist smiled and said in a polite and distant voice: "Excuse me, do you have an appointment?"
"No, but..." Before Nan Yan could finish her words, the receptionist bent down apologetically.
"I'm really sorry. If you don't make an appointment, you won't be able to see Mr. Lu."
These words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the last hope in Nan Yan's heart.
She was unwilling to give in and could only request: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that I need to make an appointment to see Lu Huaijing, but... can you please tell me that I must see him today."
Regardless, this matter must be dealt with.
But a hint of indifference flashed through the eyes of the front desk lady. She didn't know how many women she would receive in a day.
Although he still had a good smile on his face, the smile didn't reach his eyes.
He just said lightly: "Sorry, madam, this is the company's rule. I can't break it. So, if you really have something, you can leave a phone number first, and we can help you report it then - —”
"I called his phone, but he didn't answer."
Nan Yan frowned anxiously, trying hard to think of an explanation: "He and I are——"
"Miss Gu."
A voice interrupted Nan Yan's words, and Ji Li hurriedly walked down from the elevator.
As soon as the front desk saw Ji Li coming out in person, he quickly walked out from behind and said respectfully: "Assistant Ji, why are you here?"
"I'll pick you up."
Ji Li then said something perfunctory, turned around and said respectfully to Nan Yan: "Miss Gu, please come with me."
The receptionist originally looked down on Nan Yan, but when he saw Ji Li using such a respectful attitude, his expression suddenly changed.
But Nan Yan was full of sadness about the three words "Miss Gu".
Externally, Lu Huaijing had never disclosed her identity, which led to Ji Li never calling her "Mrs." in front of outsiders.
The three words "Miss Gu" clearly and simply drew a clear line between her and Lu Huaijing.
However, there is no time to be sad right now.
Nan Yan could only follow step by step, but she didn't expect that Ji Li just took her into the elevator and said in a low voice:
"Madam, I'm sorry, sir is in a meeting and doesn't have time to see you."
Nan Yan's eyes flashed and she said sincerely: "Assistant Ji, I really have something very important to see Huai Jing. Can you -"
"Sorry, madam, I can't make the decision."
Ji Li said, and immediately pressed the button on the second floor, "This is your car key. The car has been parked underneath. The gentleman said... he doesn't want to see you."
Don't want to meet?
Then why did he let Ji Li come out...?
Nan Yan suddenly understood. She smiled bitterly and her face became even paler.
Lu Huaijing... was afraid that she would cause trouble in the company, so he asked Ji Li to come down and comfort her.
To put it bluntly, he was just afraid of embarrassing her.
This realization made Nan Yan feel even more uncomfortable, as if he had been pinched hard by a big invisible hand, which was so painful that he couldn't breathe.
She looked at the key handed over by Ji Li. Lu Huaijing always meant what he said. Now that he has said so now, there is no room for maneuver.
Tears welled up in her eyes. Just when Nan Yan hesitated, the elevator had already reached the second floor.
She stood inside without moving, and said in a drier voice: "Assistant Ji, can you please help me? I...I'm really at my wits end, Dr. Ji, he is just a colleague of mine, nothing can happen to us. ,please believe me……!"
When Ji Li saw this, although he couldn't bear it, he couldn't go against Lu Huaijing's wishes and could only say in a deep voice:
"Madam, I'm just a person who obeys orders. Please don't embarrass me... But, maybe, you can consider going to see Miss Song, if she can convince Mr. Song..."
He stopped talking, but Nan Yan also understood.
He wanted her to beg Song Yihuan. If Song Yihuan could forgive, then there would be room for maneuver in this matter.
But, how can Nan Yan beg for mercy from someone who destroyed her marriage?
She lowered her eyelashes to cover up all the pain, and in the end she could only say: "Thank you, Assistant Ji."
