However, in contrast to the gentleness exuded by her mother in the picture, she gave of a wild aura from head to toe—an air of arrogance that promised payback of a hundredfold to whoever dared to bully her.
“Mom, don’t worry; even if I end up destroying the Qin family, I’ll never let it fall into the hands of that mother-son pair! Never!
“I miss you so much…”
She hugged the picture frame and rambled on.
Inadvertently, she fell asleep while curled up at the foot of her bed.
Buzz—
Her cell phone vibrated.
“Hello?” She climbed up onto the sofa sleepily, took out the phone from her bag, and answered the call with her eyes still closed.
Hearing the male voice from the other end, she immediately woke up. “Okay, I’ll be right there.”
Once she got onto the sofa, Qin Youxuan realized that she had slept on the floor for the entire night. Her back felt stiff from lying on a hard surface for a long period and she could almost not stand up straight.
She placed her phone on the table and immediately went into the bathroom. After cleaning up, she grabbed her bag and exited the room.
The moment she stepped out of the door, she bumped into Jin Lan, who happened to be going downstairs.
The middle-aged woman’s expression darkened when she saw her. Ji Lan wanted to say something, but Qin Youxuan ignored her and walked directly out of the house.
As such, the anger the middle-aged woman was holding inside had nowhere to be vented!
…
“Uncle Tang, what’s going on? You didn’t make it clear over the phone. Is my father planning to make a will?” Qin Youxuan anxiously spoke to the middle-aged man who was sitting at his desk.
Tang Nian was the head of Qin Enterprise’s legal department and also her family’s private lawyer.
Even when she was not born yet, he had already been following Qin Mo and could be considered a long-time employee of the family.
He had even watched her grow up.
“Your father has no intention of making a will. You are still the Qin family’s heiress, so you don’t have to worry.” Tang Nian stood up from his chair and pointed to the seat in front of him.
“Have a seat. I called you here to tell you something else.”
He took out a document from the files on his desk and pushed it in front of her. “This is an attorney’s letter that the law firm received this morning. Someone wants to sue you for causing physical injury.”
“…What?” Qin Youxuan was stunned.
“You just got back; how did you offend someone so fast?”
“…”
She pinched her glabella. She had only been back to the country for a few days, and the only time she fought with someone was last night.
“Uncle Tang, it was self-defense. He started it.”
“The other party has a medical certificate to back his claim. Plus, the person is still lying in the hospital. Other than a verbal confession, do you have anything else to prove that he harassed you first?”
“My friend saw it.” Yes, she had Yaya as a witness.
“I’m only worried that, because of our relationship, the judge won’t honor her testimony.” Her face darkened slightly.
She studied international law overseas. Although she was still a year away from graduating, she knew the law better than most people.
Everything happened too fast last night. She only wanted to make noise so that the other party would call the police for settlement. When it came down to that, it could only be deemed as her resorting to violence out of self-defense. She really did not expect that she would end up being sued.
After a night, it would be hard for her to collect evidence.
There were many people present at Premier last night, but she was sure that no one would help her.
“Usually, cases like this are settled in private. When it comes to court, if the situation isn’t serious enough, it’s usually just a question of compensation. I’ve already checked and the other party hasn’t pressed charges yet. This lawyer’s letter should only be a warning. I asked someone to probe the other party’s intentions. He doesn’t seem to have any intention of reconciling; instead, he’s adamant on blowing things up.”
