Let Lu Jinxing Support Me

She did not come with good intentions.

Jiang Jiu was calm and composed. "Miss Gu is looking for me?"

On the sofa in the meeting room, four burly bodyguards stood side by side behind Gu Anning, looking domineering.

"So you're a lawyer." Gu Anning's gaze was filled with disdain.

Outside the meeting room, her colleagues kept looking in curiously. In Yun City, the Gu family was famous. The daughter of the Gu family usually liked to be in the limelight and often occupied the headlines of the news and media. She was very exposed to the public eye.

"Little Jiang, do you know Miss Gu?" The director asked. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that something was wrong with Miss Gu's sudden visit.

"We've met a few times," Jiang Jiu replied cleverly.

"Go get the tea."

The director instructed the assistant beside him. Soon, Sun Rou came in with a cup of freshly brewed green tea and placed it on the coffee table. "Miss Gu, please have some tea."

Gu Anning suddenly reached out and pushed the teacup in Sun Rou's hand away.

"Ah!" Sun Rou didn't have time to dodge and instinctively protected her face. Unexpectedly, someone pulled her and blocked it for her.

The spilled tea landed on Jiang Jiu's left hand. Her skin was fair, and the back of her hand was instantly scalded red.

With a bang, the cup shattered. Sun Rou came back to her senses. "Sister Jiu, your hand."

The back of her hand burned with pain, and Jiang Jiu's expression darkened.

"I never drink anything outside." Gu Anning glanced at Jiang Jiu's reddened hand and said lazily, "Besides, it's such cheap tea leaves. How dare you bring it to me?"

The director's expression was ugly, but because of the Gu family's status, he could only hold it in. "Miss Gu, why did you come to our law firm today?"

"For her." Gu Anning pointed and said, "I don't like this woman. Fire her."

"Miss Gu must be joking."

"Who's joking?" Gu Anning glared daggers at Jiang Jiu. "Your law firm is quite famous in Yun City. If you know what's good for you, hurry up and chase her away. I'll give you three hours. If you don't do as I say, I'll make sure your law firm doesn't get a single case!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Anning glanced at everyone coldly and walked around the coffee table before leaving with her head held high.

The bodyguards in black escorted Gu Anning away and everyone consciously retreated.

"You're simply lawless and unreasonable!" The director was furious and glanced at Jiang Jiu. They usually saw many people in their line of work, and there were many noble and domineering figures. Naturally, they would not be frightened by a few words.

Sun Rou took out the medical kit and ice pack and pulled Jiang Jiu to sit on the sofa to help her treat the burn on the back of her hand. That daughter of the Gu family was too much. Sister Jiu was such a good person. How could she offend her?

It had to be said that the Gu family's power could not be underestimated. Three hours later, problems cropped up in the law firm one after another, and almost all the cases that everyone was previously in charge of were stopped.

The director paced around anxiously. "How did you offend the daughter of the Gu family?"

"It's a personal matter." Jiang Jiu didn't deliberately hide it, but she couldn't explain it either.

The director shook his head. "I definitely can't suppress such a big commotion. Jiang, I personally recruited you. If it's because of your private matters that the law firm is implicated…"

There was no need to say the rest. She would naturally not implicate others.

"Director, I'll take leave to resolve the matter."

"Go on."

After Jiang Jiu left, the director couldn't help but sigh. Back then, when he personally interviewed Jiang Jiu, he felt at first glance that this girl was smart and bold. She was cut out for their line of work. However, if she provoked those influential people, no matter how good her future was, it would be ruined.

After driving out of the law firm, Jiang Jiu called Jiang Xi on the way. "Darling, where do you socialites usually like to gather?"

"Oh," Jiang Xi replied sleepily. By the time she wanted to ask in detail, Jiang Jiu had already hung up.

She had only fallen asleep in the early hours of the morning. Her brain reacted half a beat slower, and she quickly fell asleep again after hanging up.

In a high-class beauty salon in the city center. Jiang Jiu entered and found Gu Anning in no time.

"So soon?" Gu Anning was wearing a bathrobe from the beauty salon. She had clearly just finished taking care of her entire body.

There was plenty of light in the resting area, and the surroundings were green. Jiang Jiu pulled out a chair and sat opposite her. "Miss Gu is very active. If I don't cooperate, it will be boring for you to act alone."

"Heh." Gu Anning picked up a glass of coconut juice and smiled smugly. "What's a mere law firm? In the eyes of the Gu family, it can be suppressed in minutes."

"As for you…" Gu Anning's eyes darkened. "How dare a family like the Jiang family climb up the social ladder of the Lu family? Jiang Jiu, from head to toe, how are you worthy of Lu Jinxing?"

The afternoon sun shone down from the glass ceiling. Gu Anning's translucent skin was tender and soft. This was the result of her taking care of herself since she was young.

Jiang Jiu's red lips curved slightly. "So you got someone to suppress the law firm because of Lu Jinxing?"

"What else could it be?"

"The position of the Lu family's Third Young Madam was originally mine. If it weren't for you, I would be the one marrying Lu Jinxing now!"

Pa!

Jiang Jiu opened her leather bag and took out the recorded phone. She replayed the recording and smiled. "I'm sorry, it's my professional habit."

"What are you trying to do?" Gu Anning's expression changed slightly.

"If I give what Miss Gu said to the media, I think they should be able to interpret different versions of the truth."

"Ha, you think I'm afraid?"

"You don't have to be afraid, but what about the Gu family and Lu Jinxing?"

Jiang Jiu smiled. "The daughter of the Gu family bears a grudge because she couldn't marry into the Lu family and insisted on taking revenge on the current Third Young Madam of the Lu family. Such a headline is quite eye-catching."

"Is the Gu family willing to become a topic of conversation for the masses?"

"It wasn't easy for the wedding to be suppressed, but Miss Gu insists on bringing up the past. Aren't you afraid of making Lu Jinxing unhappy?"

The expression in Gu Anning's eyes changed bit by bit.

"Miss Gu, no matter how bad I am, I'm still the Third Young Mistress of the Lu family. This is already the truth. Actually, the work of the law firm is dispensable to me. If you destroy the law firm, I'll go home and let Lu Jinxing support me."

"You—" Gu Anning was so angry that her face turned red.

Jiang Jiu slid the recording document with her fingertip. "The choice is yours."

After a while, Jiang Jiu walked out of the beauty salon in satisfaction. She had calculated that Gu Anning wouldn't dare to cause trouble for her family and Lu Jinxing. Only then would she be able to suppress her arrogance.

When she returned to the law firm, the tension had dissipated and everything returned to normal. The director heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that Jiang Jiu was unwilling to say anything else, he did not ask further.

In the evening, in Ci Garden.

After the dishes were placed on the dining table, Jiang Jiu washed her hands and came out. Lu Jinxing had already sat down in the chair beside her. When they separated this morning, this man didn't look too good. She couldn't guess, so she tactfully acted as an invisible person.

"What happened to your hand?"

The light above her head was bright, and the back of Jiang Jiu's fair hand was red and swollen. Even though she had applied medicine, she could still see it clearly.

Lu Jinxing pulled her hand. "Did someone bully you?"

Jiang Jiu pursed her lips and couldn't help but curse softly. He still had the cheek to ask? Wasn't he the one who caused her to be so unlucky?!
