Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Intentionally Escalating the Situation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

However, her entire demeanor exuded a wild, blatant nonchalance. She held a prideful front that dared anyone to provoke her and would repay it tenfold — quite unlike the gentle nature of the woman in the picture.

“Mom, rest assured, even if I destroy the Qin Group, I will not let it fall into the hands of that mother and son! Never!”

“Mom, I miss you…”

Qin Youxuan hugged the photo frame, talking incessantly to it.

She curled up at the end of the bed and fell asleep.

“Buzz buzz——”

The sound of a vibrating cell phone.

“Hello?” Qin Youxuan, groggily crawled from the floor to the sofa, found her phone in her bag, and answered without opening her eyes.

Upon hearing the deep male voice on the phone, she woke up immediately, “Okay, I’ll be right there.”

Getting up from the sofa, she realized she had slept on the floor all night. Her back was stiff, and she could hardly stand.

She swiftly tossed her phone on the table, went into the bathroom, freshened up, grabbed her bag, and headed out.

As soon as she left her room, she ran into Jin Lan who was just coming downstairs.

Upon seeing Qin Youxuan, Jin Lan’s face instantly darkened. She wanted to say something, but Qin Youxuan acted as if she didn’t see her and walked straight out the door.

She was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent it!

“Uncle Tang, what happened? You didn’t make it clear on the phone. Is my dad planning to make a will?” As Qin Youxuan walked into the office and spotted the middle-aged man sitting at the desk, she blurted out anxiously.

Tang Nian was the head of Qin Group’s legal team and also the Qin family’s personal lawyer.

He had been with Qin Mo even before Qin Youxuan was born. He was a veteran advisor in the Qin family.

He watched her grow up.

“Your father has no intention of making a will. You’re still the first in line to inherit the Qin Group. Don’t worry,” Tang Nian rose from his chair and pointed to the seat in front of him.

“Sit down. I called you here to discuss another matter.”

Tang Nian pulled out a document from his folder and slid it across to Qin Youxuan, “This is a lawyer’s letter the firm received this morning. Someone is suing you for malice injury.”

“…What?” Qin Youxuan was stunned.

“You just got back. Who did you upset?”

“…”

Qin Youxuan pressed her brow. She had only been back for a few days, and the only person she had argued with and fought was last night.

“Uncle Tang, I was just defending myself. He started it.”

“But the other party has an injury report. Besides, the person is still in the hospital. Do you have any evidence that he maliciously harassed you, other than your verbal statements?”

“My friend saw it.” Yes, she had Yaya as a witness.

“But I’m afraid the court may not accept my friend’s testimony based on our relationship.” Qin Youxuan’s facial expression became slightly grave.

She was studying international law overseas, and although she was a year away from graduation, she had a better understanding of the related legal regulations than most people.

The situation last night was too urgent, and she only thought to call the police. Little did she realize she would be embroiled in a lawsuit.

After a night, it would be difficult to gather evidence now.

There were many people at the Zhi Shang at the time, but no one would help her.

“Generally, in cases like this, people settle privately. If it goes to court, unless the situation is severe, compensation is usually the outcome. I’ve checked and the other party hasn’t filed a lawsuit yet. This lawyer’s letter is probably just a warning. I had someone inquire about their intentions, and the other party does not seem interested in settling. Instead, they are extremely aggressive and determined to blow up the issue.”
