You Could Finally Get Your Revenge

Editor: Noodletown Translations

Su Xiqin slightly nodded as she sat down across from him, and the waiter came forward to pour her some tea. Shao Zhengyang, who had been staring at Su Xiqin, held the menu and asked with a smile on his face.

"Ms. Su, can you eat steak?"

Su Xiqin met his gaze and said, "I'm sorry, the wound on my forehead isn't fully healed yet. Steak might not work; I'll eat something lighter."

"Okay, then we'll order something light." Shao Zhengyang smiled amiably.

In the elegant private room, Su Xiqin took a few sips of tea and went straight to the point, "Lawyer Shao, has CEO Bai decided on the amount of compensation for his vehicle yet?"

With his arms wrapped around his chest, Shao Zhengyang, who was looking at Su Xiqin through his glasses, came back to his senses and responded crisply. "Ms. Su, CEO Bai has said that since he was also responsible for the accident, you'll be responsible for one-third of the car's repair costs."

A third of 100,000 yuan also costs about 30,000 yuan or so, Su Xiqin thought, But it's a reduction of about 60,000 yuan from 100,000 yuan, which is quite a concession.

"How does one-third sound, Ms. Su?" Shao Zhengyang asked.

Su Xiqin pinched her lip as she remembered she said at first that she would be responsible for everything, and now he even reduced the cost. There was no reason to reject, so she nodded her head and said, "No problem."

Shao Zhengyang had a smile on his face. "Since that's the case, having talked about your due responsibilities, I'll talk about the responsibilities that CEO Bai would be responsible for."

Su Xiqin was stunned for a moment. What responsibility is he going to take?

"Ms. Su, your car was also damaged from the accident, and CEO Bai will need to pay for the cost of your car's repair. This will be his responsibility. "

While talking, he reached over for his briefcase on the side and pulled out a cheque before putting it on the table and pushing it in front of Su Xiqin.

Su Xiqin looked down at the 30,000 yuan cheque and frowned. "Lawyer Shao, I only had my car repaired for a few thousand yuan; this amount is too much!"

It was Shao Zhengyang's first time seeing someone who didn't want money, and he was a little stunned for a moment. There was a reason why Sir Bai fell for her; she truly has a pure character.

"Lawyer Shao, please return the cheque back to CEO Bai!"

The sound of Su Xiqin's voice pulled Shao Zhengyang back from his thoughts, and he pushed his glasses up his nose a bit as he smiled. "Ms. Su, CEO Bai said that his car is expensive, so to be fair, he must pay this 30,000 yuan. Otherwise it will dishonor his title as a CEO."

Su Xiqin finally understood that it was because Bai Yansen cared about his reputation. It made sense as it would tarnish his reputation if a CEO made a woman compensate him for this much money.

"Ms. Su, did you bring the compensation money?" Shao Zhengyang suddenly asked Su Xiqin, causing her to be startled, but she quickly responded back.

"I don't have it with me today. Give me an account number, and I'll transfer the amount later."

"Since that's the case, let's use this cheque to cover it."

Having said that, Shao Zhengyang drew back the cheque. Su Xiqin paused for a moment and wondered, What is this…

"As for the remaining two or three thousand yuan, just give it to CEO Bai the next time you meet him. Although he wouldn't care about this little amount of money anyway."

Shao Zhengyang added on, implying that it didn't matter whether she gave it or not.

What more could Su Xiqin say? It was obvious that this was to be a private settlement. Having thought of that, she couldn't help but make a joke. 

"Lawyer Shao, it seems like it's quite easy for you to take this case."

"Ms. Su, what you don't know is that CEO Bai really cares about his reputation, and he doesn't even want you to give him money. Working for him, you have to know what he likes, otherwise, it will be hard to earn his money. Besides, rich people don't care about that little money, so we common folks can't compare to them." He shook his head as he finished.

It was Su Xiqin's first time chatting with Shao Zhengyang, and she felt that he was quite humorous, which partly explained why he was a famous lawyer.

"Ms. Su, are you laughing at me?" Shao Zhengyang asked as Su Xiqin's smile was charming like a spring breeze.

She was feeling a little awkward, so she stopped laughing and said quickly with her hands gesturing randomly, "Lawyer Shao, your abilities match your fame, and I see that there's a chivalrous side to you."

Shao Zhengyang smiled gently and responded smoothly. "Ms. Su, if you ever need to file a lawsuit or have any disputes in the future, you can look for me. Don't worry about the fees; as long as those who think they're strong bully the weak, I'll be sure to find justice without any fee."

Su Xiqin looked at him and nodded smilingly as she then thoughtfully lifted her teacup and drank a sip of water.

Meanwhile, Shao Zhengyang was muttering inside his heart. I would be stupid to be a chivalrous man in this society. But for Sir Bai, I'll have to be stupid.

But in fact, Su Xiqin did come and find him later on, so he had really fulfilled one of Bai Yansen's requests!

Su Xiqin came out of the restaurant and drove back to the Mo Corporation when her phone rang.

She sat in the driver's seat and looked at the number on the screen as she stalled. It was Mo Xigu's number.

But she still answered it anyway.

"Hello."

"Come up to my office." Mo Xigu's voice was a little unclear.

After Mo Xigu's actions at her home last time, Su Xiqin was cautious about staying alone with him, so she asked her question.

"What's the matter?"

"Obviously, it's business." With that said, Mo Xigu hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy signal, Su Xiqin thought that he would not dare to do anything since they would be at the company, especially during this special time. Therefore, she decided to head up to his office.

She knocked on the door and opened it, releasing a strong smell of fine wine that rushed towards her. She hesitated for a moment before walking into the office.

Mo Xigu was slumped on the sofa, and an empty bottle of wine laid beneath the sofa. His eyes were squinting as he looked like he was asleep.

She stood a few steps away and stared at him indifferently. "What did you call me up here for?"

Mo Xigu heard a voice and opened his eyes, and what entered his sight was the chic Su Xiqin, slim but still beautiful.

Her appearance had not changed much, but her temperament had become colder and more sullen than before. She always had a smile in the past when she was gentle and beautiful.

Yet now, he hardly ever saw that smile anymore and was often approached with a cold hardened face.

"Is it a relief to see me like this?" Mo Xigu said.

"You're drunk, rest!" she said as she turned around. A low sneer came from behind her as he said, "Ya! I'm drunk; it's so good to be drunk. I don't have to think about anything, and I really want to stay drunk like this."

The voice was dense with loneliness and sadness, and Su Xiqin had never seen him like this before. She guessed that the reason behind this was probably the Mo Corporation's current situation.

It was the first time she had seen his proud self show such decadence.

"Su Xiqin, I've always been living a smooth life until now. The Mo Corporation is facing a crisis, and yet I still don't know who I've offended. You must be happy inside, now that you're finally getting revenge on me after the past few years, eh?"

Maybe it was from the alcohol or it was because of his sorrow, his eyes were bloodshot red as he stared at her with intense sadness.

Looking into his eyes, Su Xiqin's expression remained cold like a block of ice, but her heart was filled with churning waves.
