Chapter 18: Trouble Comes Knocking
"I"ll go with you." Although she didn"t hear everything, Jing Yao could guess that it wasn"t a good thing for Zhou Lin to look for her, given Zhu Ling"s words and her suddenly dark expression.
Zhu Ling frowned. "No need. Why do you have to do everything yourself? Then why do you need me, your manager?"
"I"ll go with you," Jing Yao said firmly with a straight face.
Zhu Ling puffed up her cheeks and compromised helplessly. "Alright, stand behind me when the time comes. Don"t speak."
Jing Yao nodded obediently.
Gu Yu looked at the two young girls. He was moved by their sincere friendship and felt a little exasperated.
He was clearly standing here, but they acted as if they could not see him.
Gu Yu thought that he was here today to help Jing Yao terminate her contract. He didn"t expect to encounter such a thing. To be safe, he took the opportunity to send a message to Liang Xun while the two of them were talking.
Gu Yu: [President Liang, Miss Jing seems to be in trouble in the company.]
Liang Xun immediately replied: [I"ll be there in 10 minutes.]
Gu Yu raised his eyebrows. This was the first time Liang Xun had replied to his message so quickly. He said to Jing Yao, "I"ll go with you."
Before Jing Yao could refuse, Zhu Ling had already said, "No need, sir. This is our own business."
Gu Yu was completely helpless. "Miss, I"m a lawyer. You should know that lawyers are needed on many occasions. If you have any disputes, isn"t it better to have me, a lawyer, present? Moreover, I don"t charge you."
"No charge?" Zhu Ling sized up Gu Yu and nodded. "Alright, follow me."
"…" Gu Yu.
The three of them went to the CEO"s office without a word. Just as they reached the door, a woman"s loud fake cries came from inside.
Jing Yao and Zhu Ling looked at each other.
Zhu Ling: When did you provoke such a difficult woman?
Jing Yao: I don"t know. I haven"t left the house recently.
Gu Yu glanced at the two of them and revealed a professional smile. "Looks like this is really an occasion that needs a lawyer."
Zhu Ling glared at him.
Gu Yu"s expression did not change. "I"ll go in first. You guys follow me."
As Gu Yu spoke, he pushed open the door of the CEO"s office and walked in. Then, his body stiffened.
Suddenly, they saw an object flying towards Gu Yu. Zhu Ling was quick and grabbed Jing Yao, successfully dodging it.
However, Gu Yu, who opened the door first, was not so lucky. It was a porcelain teacup. Although it did not hit his face directly, it still rubbed the side of his face red.
Gu Yu had only been beaten up by the client when he was interning in a law firm in university. After coming to the Liang Corporation, he had never encountered such a thing again.
He reached out to touch his burning cheek, then his gaze locked on the woman who had just stopped pretending to cry and was looking at him suspiciously.
Hitting a lawyer?
Fine, she would wait to be charged.
Gu Yu looked at the two girls behind him. The two of them were also a little frightened. At this moment, they were leaning against each other and looking at him sympathetically and apologetically.
Fortunately, he came in first. Otherwise, who knew what would have happened to the two girls if they had been hit like this.
Moreover, one of them was President Liang"s new wife. From his performance from yesterday to now, Gu Yu was almost certain that Liang Xun would most likely be a henpecked husband in the future.
If he allowed the president"s wife to be beaten up, as the president"s a.s.sistant, he could just resign and leave.
Gu Yu glanced at the corners of the wall and realized that there was a camera facing this door. It should be able to record what happened just now. Moreover, so many people present had seen it.
He smiled and walked up to the woman. "Madam, you"re deliberately hurting someone. It"s against the law."
Gu Yu was tall and had a powerful aura. The woman was immediately frightened and stammered, "Erm. How did I know that you would suddenly open the door?"
Gu Yu snorted. "Are you sure you don"t know? Why do I feel that you waited for a long time and deliberately waited until you heard the door open before throwing out the teacup?"
The woman shouted, "I didn"t. You"re slandering me."
Gu Yu nodded. "It"s fine. Let"s not argue about this. Anyway, there are surveillance cameras there."
The woman was frightened and whispered, "Who asked you to open the door suddenly? I didn"t want to hit you."
Gu Yu immediately understood something. His face darkened. "So who did you want to hit originally?"
He looked at Jing Yao and Zhu Ling, who followed him in.
