The corners of Gu Xiwan's mouth twitched.
She knew that "that gentleman" the lawyer was referring to was Chu Lingjue.
In the beginning, it was Chu Lingjue who asked the police to downplay the incident of Gu Xiwan knocking Sheng Xinyi down the stairs into a trivial matter. At that time, Chu Lingjue ignored Sheng Xinyi's feelings and protected her;
Although Gu Xiwan didn't want Chu Lingjue to get into trouble because of her again, after hearing what the lawyer said, she suddenly wanted to know whether Chu Lingjue would let Sheng Xinyi suffer in order to protect her this time. Woolen cloth……
"Oh, by the way, Miss Gu, Miss Sheng has asked me to tell you something."
The lawyer's voice sounded again,
"Ms. Sheng said that her ultimate goal in making that incident a big deal was not to target you. However, if she could not achieve that ultimate goal, she would have no choice but to treat you as a victim."
There was a trace of confusion in Gu Xiwan's clear eyes.
"What on earth does she mean?"
The lawyer shook his head.
"I'm just a lawyer responsible for winning this lawsuit for her. I don't know the grudge between you. Miss Sheng is waiting for you at her home. If you want to know what she wants to convey to you, why don't you directly Ask her? I think it would be good for you."
The lawyer finished speaking and left.
Lawyer Zhang took the envelope from Gu Xiwan, opened it and read the summons, and said worriedly,
"The court requires you to appear in court as a defendant in one week - that is, next Thursday. Judging from the current situation, the relevant departments want to quell the social repercussions caused by this incident as soon as possible, and the superiors will definitely put pressure on the court. Let the court make a judgment as soon as possible, and Miss Sheng occupies the commanding heights of speech, the court's judgment is likely to be biased in her favor, and everything will be very detrimental to you."
Gu Xiwan was speechless, like a proud and calm queen, not a trace of panic in such a situation.
Lawyer Zhang patted Gu Xiwan’s shoulder.
"Manager Gu, I have already reminded you if I should remind you. I think what Lawyer Wang said is reasonable. Since Miss Sheng is waiting for you, you might as well go talk to her. I feel that she asked Lawyer Wang to There is something in the sentence I told you, what if she wants to negotiate settlement terms with you? Do you think so?"
Gu Xiwan thought for at least ten seconds, and finally nodded.
"I'm going to find her now."
"Well, Manager Gu, let me remind you once again that the current situation is very unfavorable to you. You must talk to Miss Sheng well and don't anger her. No matter what she says, listen to her as much as possible and don't lose your temper... …
Manager Gu, haven’t I finished speaking yet?
Manager Gu! "
Gu Xiwan had already passed through the hall of "Shanren Hall" and walked away.
Yes!
She was going to find Sheng Xinyi.
However, she did not go to Sheng Xinyi to reconcile. She did not regret hitting Sheng Xinyi. Even if time went back to that moment, she would slap Sheng Xinyi on the face without hesitation.
However, she had too many questions in her heart, and she wanted to ask Sheng Xinyi herself.
…
Miss Sheng's mansion was not far from "Shanrentang", and Gu Xiwan arrived outside this luxurious villa ten minutes later.
At this moment, the door of the villa was ajar. Gu Xiwan was walking towards the door. A security guard stopped her and said,
"Sorry, Miss Gu, you can't go in yet."
Gu Xiwan glanced at the security guard. She clearly remembered that she had been to Sheng Xinyi's house before, but there was no security guard at Sheng Xinyi's house. At this moment, in addition to the security guard in front of her, there were two other security guards guarding the door. It was obvious that Sheng Xinyi The defensiveness is stronger than ever before.
"oh?"
Gu Xiwan composed herself and said calmly,
"Sheng Xinyi arranged for her lawyer to call me here. She asked her lawyer to tell me that she had something to say to me. Why can't I come in?"
"Miss Sheng did give instructions before that if you come, you will be let in, but that is not possible now." The security guard pointed at the half-open door and shook his head.
"Because Miss Sheng has another instruction. Miss Sheng said that as long as Mr. Chu comes to her, no one is allowed to disturb them before Mr. Chu leaves. Just a few minutes ago, Mr. Chu came to see Miss Sheng. Mr. Chu I haven’t left yet, so you can’t go in.”
Gu Xiwan looked in the direction of the security guard's finger.
Through the gap between the two unclosed doors, she could clearly see a black luxury car parked by the pond in the yard. A tall, handsome man with a noble temperament was leaning on the car door. , Standing out from the crowd is none other than Chu Lingjue.
"Miss Gu, you saw it. Not long after Mr. Chu arrived, he was waiting for Miss Sheng there. Miss Sheng hasn't seen Mr. Chu yet. How can I let you in?"
The security guard's voice kept ringing in Gu Xiwan's ears.
Gu Xiwan looked at Chu Lingjue not far away for a moment and said calmly,
"Don't worry, I will always stand here before he leaves and never step foot in the door."
"Okay! As long as you don't enter this gate, you can stand wherever you like, and I won't bother to care about you...
However, I'll put my ugly words first, Miss Gu, I will keep a close eye on you in the security room. If you try to run into the yard while I'm not paying attention, don't blame me for being rude to you. "The security guard warned Gu Xiwan with raised eyebrows.
Gu Xiwan never bothered to look at the security guard and just replied casually,
"I see."
The security guard looked at Gu Xiwan and went back to the security room to continue playing cards with several other security guards.
Gu Xiwan stood steadily in front of the gate. Her attention was always on Chu Lingjue, but Chu Lingjue never noticed her.
After another ten seconds, Gu Xiwan saw Sheng Xinyi walking out of the main building of the villa and walking quickly towards Chu Lingjue.
Seeing Chu Lingjue, Sheng Xinyi said from a distance,
"Ling Jue, when you called me a few minutes ago, I told you that I was in the living room on the first floor. Why didn't you go directly to the living room to see me, instead of waiting here for me to come out to find you?" Indifferent Glancing at Sheng Xinyi, Chu Lingjue's voice was like the wind blowing from the top of the snow-capped mountains, cool and thin, neither salty nor bland.
"It is easy for people to misunderstand when a man and a woman are alone in the same room. It would be better to meet you in the open air."
