Once Upon A One Night Stand novel Chapter 254

Ji Chuanyi saw through what he was thinking and understood why he was in much pain. He sat down on the sofa next to him and handed him a paper, on which were the procedures needed. He said, "Since we have to go to court, we must choose the safest one. If we act on impulse, we may do harm to Shu Tian in the end."

Li Han didn't say anything. He reached out for a cigarette and lit it. He had been smoking a lot recently.

"It's not easy to win in Shu Tian's case, so we have to prepare for the worst result. But if we plead guilty and have a good attitude, we may let her be mitigated, then we could do our best to bail her out..."

Hearing this, Li Han frowned and closed his eyes, and said, "She studies law and is ready to do legal work. If there is a stain on her file, it will be difficult for her to develop in this industry in the future. There will be no chance for her anymore."

Who would be willing to find a lawyer with a criminal record?

Ji Chuanyi was silent. Yes, he forgot that after all, Shu Tian was a lawyer.

"There has to be a choice." Knowing that Li Han was in a dilemma, Ji Chuanyi didn't push him too hard but told him the stakes. He said, "It's up to you to make the decision, but I hope you can calm down and be rational. Nothing can be changed once it gets started."

The two of them talked about the lawsuit for a while. Ji Chuanyi had work to do and left, leaving Li Han alone in the office. He was sitting on the spacious and soft sofa but he felt like sitting on pins and needles.

Looking at the documents on the table in front of him, he could not get rid of the burden in his heart. It seemed that it was a deadlock.

After thinking about it, he thought that the only breakthrough might be Jiang Chujing, who refused to admit it and insisted that it was Shu Tian who did it. However, Li Han felt that there were secrets behind it.

He kept smoking after finishing one until nearly half a box was empty, and the ashtray was full of ashes. Finally, he put out the cigarette butt in a fretful mood. The moment he stood up, he felt dizzy. The irregular diet for several days almost broke him down. It was all because of this thought in his heart that kept him alive.

Li Han steadied his steps and walked to his desk to pick up the phone, and said, "Tell the driver to get the car ready."

[...]

On the other hand, Jiang Chujing was still in Ling's Hospital ward. Apart from the necessary treatment every day, almost nothing happened in her life.

On this day, after the morning check, Jiang Mengyao called. Jiang Chujing was frightened when she saw the caller ID, then picked it up disdainfully and said, "Hello?"

"Jiang Chujing, say it directly!" Jiang Mengyao's anxious voice came from the microphone.

Compared to her excitement, Jiang Chujing was very unhurried. She replied, "Slow down. Why are you arguing?"

"When will you fulfill what you have promised me?" Jiang Mengyao was in no mood to say circumbendibus when the matter was done, so she asked directly.

Jiang Chujing said, "I told you it would be in a few days. Taking such a large sum of money would arouse suspicion. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Why am I in such a hurry?" Jiang Mengyao yelled out of control. "It's already four days past the original time and you haven't given me your money. You know why I'm in a hurry. Listen up, Jiang Chujing, if you want to play tricks on me, I will never let you go. Anyway, we are a package deal now. None of us can live peacefully if you push me too far !"

Hearing this, Jiang Chujing's face became slightly ferocious. Every time when spoke about this, Jiang Mengyao would threaten her with this matter. Now that the momentum was getting more and more wrong and she seemed to have misunderstood her position.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chujing's voice could not help but be vicious. She said, "Jiang Mengyao, don't think that you can threaten me. If I promise to give it to you, I will. However, if you dare to make any trouble, I will make you unable to see the sun tomorrow!"

Her voice became grim, which was really a little scary. Although Jiang Mengyao tried to be brave, after all, she had nothing, so naturally, she was afraid of her in her heart. Therefore, she could only desperately suppress the anger in her heart and said, "Tell me a deadline!"

Jiang Chujing looked up through the window at the small garden outside and narrowed her eyes. Then she said, "I will transfer the money to your account in ten days at most."

Jiang Mengyao said, "That's too long..."
