The group of men in black walked over in unison. Their stern expressions tensed Luo Tiantian up.
“First Mistress!”
They stood in a line and bowed to Xue Feijing.
“…” Luo Tiantian’s lips twitched, and she looked at the indifferent Xue Feijing, huffing. “Sister Jing, are you part of the royal family?”
She did a quick count. There were nine of them in total.
She wondered if appearances and heights were part of the Xue family’s requirements for lawyers.
The people in front of her looked identical from their heights to their weights to even their appearances.
If not for the fact that they didn’t look identical, she might very well have mistaken them as brothers.
“What’s the matter?”
Xue Feijing eyed her smugly. “I picked them.”
“…” Luo Tiantian was at a loss for words.
She had never expected her to have been the one to pick out the outstanding lawyer team of the Xue Corporation.
And from the looks of it, they had been picked based on their heights and appearances?
Luo Tiantian looked at the people in front of them in confusion and quietly whispered in Xue Feijing’s ear, “Sister Jing, looks aren’t everything. Do you… want to find some more experienced lawyers?”
Xue Feijing’s expression darkened.
She glared at Luo Tiantian. “Luo Tiantian, do you mean that… My younger brother is a fool?”
“…?” Luo Tiantian was stunned.
Why had her uncle suddenly been brought into the picture?
“I’ll make a call to my brother right away and tell him that you think he’s useless.”
Xue Feijing immediately dialed Xue Feimo’s number.
Luo Tiantian returned from her trance and immediately snatched the phone away.
As she did so, she mustered up her courage to say, “Sister Jing, don’t spout nonsense! Uncle lasts the longest and he’s the best. Don’t malign me!”
“Oh? You know about it?”
Xue Feijing held up the phone and stared coldly at her.
Luo Tiantian rolled her eyes. “Sister Jing, stop fooling around. Uncle is such a handsome guy. How can a mere mortal like me dream of having him?”
Xue Feijing glanced at her mobile phone, and a cunning gaze flashed past her eyes as she saw that the other party had answered the call.
“So, you still think he’s useless.”
“…” Luo Tiantian was at a loss for words.
Just as she was about to retort, she heard a familiar deep voice from the phone.
“Little friend, do you have a problem with me?”
“!!!” Luo Tiantian’s eyes narrowed and she blurted out, “No, Uncle! Of course not!”
Afraid that Xue Feimo wouldn’t believe her, she continued, “It’s Sister Jing who said that these lawyers are useless! She’s even tried them before!”
As though she was trying to convince herself, she even nodded vigorously. “Yes, that’s what it is.”
Xue Feimo: “…”
Xue Feijing: “…”
The lawyers and Old Li: “…”
The entire office fell into an awkward silence.
About ten seconds later, Xue Feijing’s ear-piercing scream broke the silence.
“Ah! Luo Tiantian, I’m going to kill you!”
Luo Tiantian cupped her ears as she dodged the attack. “Sister Jing, it’s not my fault! I’m innocent!”
“You’re innocent?” Xue Feijing sneered. “Was I the one who forced you to spout nonsense?”
“Why-why did you threaten me with Uncle, then?” Luo Tiantian was aggrieved.
“You had to ruin my reputation because I threatened you?” Xue Feijing laughed in anger.
“Why? You were the one who said you picked these men out.”
After a moment of silence, she continued, “Between you and Uncle, I’ll definitely choose Uncle.”
Luo Tiantian’s voice grew softer as she said that…
In her heart, she thought: I don’t want to fall in the same way again.
