ALL NOVEL
Chapter 112
Ah, this unscrupulous lawyer's moral compass has been steadily at zero.
Recalling her unseen emotional damages and the ￥300,000 prize money from participating in a reality show that her brother Yuan Fa took away, Yuan Luoyi decided to no longer remain silent.
She took out her phone and scrolled through her contacts.
Yuan Fa asked, "Who are you calling?"
Yuan Luoyi said, "Big brother."
All things exist in a cycle of mutual production and mutual restraint.
Second brother Yuan Fa can beat up fourth brother Yuan Si, so Yuan Luoyi asked second brother to help her sign the contract. Similarly, eldest brother Yuan Ao can also beat up second brother Yuan Fa, so now she wants to call eldest brother to negotiate terms.
It was evident that second brother was a bit flustered, he quickly approached and used his large hand to block the phone, preventing Yuan Luoyi from making the call.
Yuan Fa said, "Why do you want to call him?"
Yuan Luoyi said, "Because you charged me 1.5 times the price and took my money."
Yuan Fa said, "My dear sister, I'm just temporarily holding onto that money for you. I'll give it back when you grow up. As for the agent fee, I helped you negotiate such a good commission rate. It's reasonable for me to charge a little more! If it were someone else, I'd charge three times as much!"
Based on past experience, Yuan Luoyi knew that the more she argued with Yuan Fa, the more reasonable he would sound.
So Yuan Luoyi chose to ignore his words.
She dodged Yuan Fa's hand and was about to dial eldest brother Yuan Ao's number.
Yuan Fa grabbed Yuan Luoyi into his embrace and snatched away her phone, "If you call him, you'll no longer be my lovely sister!"
Yuan Luoyi struggled angrily, "Then what am I to you?"
Tossing the phone far away, Yuan Fa pressed Yuan Luoyi down onto the armchair. He bent over, one hand behind his back and the other on his chest, showing a professional lawyer's smile.
"You are my esteemed golden client!"
"You're only 11 years old with a bright future ahead. We still have many opportunities to work together. I'll help you handle all the legal issues. All you need to do is give me a small fee. Even your fourth brother has fired his previous lawyer and hired me now."
"The tragedy that happened to him yesterday is a bloody lesson."
"So you must not miss out on me. Other lawyers may charge less but can't do a good job. They might even cause you trouble."
He took Yuan Luoyi's little hand, "I have a great idea! Today is the weekend, you don't have school. You can come to the law firm where I work and experience my professionalism firsthand."
After going through so much last night, Yuan Luoyi was actually quite tired. She had planned to go back and sleep some more since Yuan's Father wouldn't be back until night.
However, second brother Yuan Fa seemed very happy. The siblings were usually busy with their own things and didn't really interact much.
He wanted to show off his cool side to his sister, like all older brothers. But he would also mix in the mindset of "only I can shear the wool off my own fat sheep."
He has always been very serious about money.
Yuan Luoyi also had a great idea.
After experiencing so many resets, she had seen the darkness but also felt the preciousness of light. She even played mind games with fourth brother Yuan Si and narrowly defeated him.
After growing up, she cherished her brothers more and could face difficulties on her own.
But she hadn't shown this side of second brother an amazing magic trick yet. She didn't want to have any regrets.
Yuan Luoyi said, "You're the best lawyer in the world. You can always simplify complexity and find the truth of matters, helping me defeat my enemies. I know this without needing proof."
He really is an amazing brother.
Even under the extreme pain of near death, second brother never gave up and helped find a way out for this world.
Yuan Fa said, "So you're willing to continue employing me?"
Yuan Luoyi nodded, "Yes, let's continue employing you!"
"Aren't we going to discuss the price?"
"No need."
Yuan Luoyi jumped off the armchair, picked up the files on the table and walked to the door, "Second brother, I'll be doing an amazing magic trick at 7pm tonight. Do you want to see?"
Yuan Fa was surprised by this invitation. It had always been him performing magic to amuse his sister. Today, it was the other way around.
Then, he felt a warmth in his heart.
The child has grown up and became understanding, showing her gratitude to her brother.
This is a good omen. In the future, he won't have to be a pitiful empty-nester. His sister will definitely come visit him often.
Yuan Fa happily said, "Of course I want to see!"
Yuan Luoyi said, "Then see you later."
"See you later."
Yuan Luoyi returned to her room and began designing her magic trick...
At 6:30pm, Yuan Fa came knocking on the door, eagerly anticipating, "Is it about to start soon?"
Yuan Luoyi said, "Yes, let's go to the square together."
The two took a small car to the nearest park.
By then, night had fallen. There had been a rainstorm earlier, so the air smelled exceptionally fresh and the ground was washed clean. The cool weather attracted many people to the park for a stroll.
Yuan Luoyi pulled Yuan Fa to the center garden of the park.
She held Yuan Fa's hand tightly and said seriously, "Second brother, I'm actually a witch who can travel through time and space. Thank you for saving me, so I want to give you my power."
"Just like how you used sweets to pull me from the darkness into the light."
"Now, all you need to do is count to three, and the darkness here will be dispelled!"
Yuan Fa was skeptical, "This is an extremely difficult magic trick."
Yuan Luoyi said, "Just count!"
Yuan Fa began counting.
"1"
"2"
"3"
In an instant, the entire park lit up with a dazzling light show. The fountains came on, with light dancing through the water, vibrant and lively. From the deep shrubbery, countless fireflies flew out, passing by Yuan Fa in utmost beauty.
Yuan Luoyi joyfully jumped back, extending her hand to draw two circles in the air before bowing elegantly.
"Ta-da! The magic hour has arrived! All sadness is just a prelude to a wonderful ending! Now it's my turn to protect you!"
Yuan Fa was left speechless for a long while as the entire park resembled a fairyland.
This is truly...
Having a sister is quite worthwhile.
After the light and fountain show ended, Yuan Fa curiously asked, "How did you do it?"
Yuan Luoyi took out a credit card from her pocket, "I used your card to pay for it."
Yuan Fa felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, stunned for half a day, unable to speak. He recalled the events of the morning, his sister Yuan Luoyi had seemed a bit strange when she left with the documents - she must have taken his credit card then.
Yuan Fa finally found his voice: "How did you know my credit card password!"
Yuan Luoyi couldn't say, because the bloody note also had Yuan Fa's credit card secret written on the back - it was Yuan Luoyi's birthday. His second brother must have purposely torn that sheet, he has always been serious about money and would never let anyone else use it, even if it killed him.
Yuan Luoyi said: "I didn't spend much, don't be upset, you can earn it back later."
Yuan Fa angrily said: "I'm going to change the password."
Yuan Luoyi said: "You won't."
The siblings went back, and Yuan Fa began to reminisce about when Yuan Luoyi was a child - at least back then she was obedient and sweet, and wouldn't fleece him.
Upon entering the Yuan residence, Yuan Luoyi began her long wait. Around 10pm, she saw a car returning - it was Yuan's Father.
She hurried to the living room. Yuan's Father had just opened the door and come in, handing his coat and bag to the servant and taking the newspaper. Seeing Yuan Luoyi, he said: "Why aren't you asleep so late?"
Taking a deep breath, Yuan Luoyi walked up to him: "I want to ask you about some things."
Yi: Everyone, it's time for the final deduction, tomorrow we'll talk about the past of the Yuan family.
