His wife's pregnancy bump disappeared, and Mr. Huo was going crazy missing her.

This was the first birthday gift she gave to Huo Yanbei.

At that time, he had not yet been taken back to the Huo family.

His eyesight has not been restored.

It was his birthday that day, and she took him hiking.

At the temple, I obtained two peach pit red rope bracelets, symbolizing peace and good fortune.

One of them was given to him as a birthday present.

At that moment, he took her hand and asked, "Wu, would you be my eyes for the rest of your life?"

At that time, the girl's shyness and infatuation were written all over her face.

However, he couldn't see it.

She wrote three words in his palm: I do.

He kissed her then.

That was the first time the two of them kissed.

But it got out of control.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, beneath a ginkgo tree halfway up the mountain, the blood of a young girl's first sexual experience stained the boy's windbreaker red...

At this moment, looking at the bracelet that represented their beautiful memories, Qiao Mian felt only disgust.

Even more unexpectedly, he was wearing this bracelet.

Back then, after returning to the Huo family, he took off his bracelet and replaced it with the million-dollar couple's watch that Song Man had given him.

She assumed he had lost the bracelet long ago...

"Besides nausea and vomiting, are there any other symptoms?"

Huo Yanbei frowned and asked when he saw that her eyes were red and her expression was blank.

Qiao Mian concealed the moisture in her eyes and then understood why he had followed her in.

It turns out she remembered the doctor's instructions.

His concern stemmed from the fear that her injuries were serious, and that his brother-in-law would face harsher punishment for assaulting someone.

He was extremely protective of his brother-in-law.

It's clear how much he cherishes and pampers his wife in his daily life...

Thinking of this, her breath caught in her throat, and she coldly shook off his hand: "Mr. Huo, what are you planning to do with me by inviting Attorney Gu here?"

"Come out and chat."

Gu Huainian, who had come to watch the commotion, glanced meaningfully at the two women before emphasizing, "Beautiful ladies, I'm Mr. Huo's lawyer. Talk to me."

Qiao Mian ignored him with a cold face and walked straight out.

"Wow! That's some strength."

Gu Huainian's eyes were like rulers, measuring the woman's exquisite and graceful figure. He nudged Huo Yanbei's arm and said, "She's quite a pretty girl. I can't bear to bully her."

Huo Yanbei walked past him, blocking his lecherous gaze: "Business is important."

When the two returned to the outer room, Qiao Mian was already sitting on the sofa waiting for them.

Huo Yanbei stood handsomely by the window, lit a cigarette, and slowly exhaled the smoke.

After Gu Huainian sat down, he took out an agreement from his briefcase.

There was another card, which was pushed in front of Qiao Mian.

"Settlement agreement, signed, 100,000."

Qiao Mian's face was icy: "I won't sign."

Don't rush into making a decision.

Gu Huai Nian clicked on a video and turned the tablet towards her.

After watching the video, Qiao Mian's face turned pale.

The video shows her being pulled and tugged by a male customer in a bar corridor, with his arm around her shoulder.

The angle from which the video was taken is quite tricky.

Coupled with her sexy and revealing attire, anyone who saw her would assume she was involved in illicit activities...

"It's not wrong for Attorney Qiao to work part-time at a bar, but if this video is accidentally leaked, not to mention whether you want to maintain your reputation, it's another matter whether you can keep your job in this industry. After all, no law firm would keep an internet celebrity who brings their own traffic."

"..."

Qiao Mian glanced resentfully at the man standing by the window, seemingly in control of the situation: "Is Mr. Huo threatening me?"

Huo Yanbei blew a smoke ring in her direction, his tone cold and devoid of any human emotion: "You only have three minutes to consider."

Gu Huainian joked, "Five minutes, please. Attorney Qiao is so beautiful, I haven't had enough of looking at her yet."

Qiao Mian suppressed the urge to vomit and pointed to the gauze on her forehead: "Even if I hand over the video and Young Master Song escapes this time, aren't you afraid that I'll hold a grudge and never let go of the matter of him injuring me?"

"Little sister, I advise you to be more realistic."

As he spoke, Gu Huainian took out another agreement from his briefcase: "Sign another settlement agreement, add 100,000 yuan for medical expenses. You earned 200,000 yuan in one night, which is more than your annual salary at Ronghua Law Firm. You won't have to work hard on part-time jobs anymore. Why not?"

Qiao Mian bit her lip tightly.

Feeling wronged and angry are nothing compared to the profound sense of powerlessness I feel at this moment.

She is not afraid of offending anyone.

Unfortunately, she ended up messing with Huo Yanbei, the person she least wanted to offend.

He was her destined calamity.

That's it.

She surrendered.

He took the pen from Gu Huainian, quickly signed it, and pushed the agreement over.

Gu Huainian pointed to another unsigned agreement: "Aren't you going to make money off the 100,000 yuan medical expenses?"

"You disgusted me, you have to get revenge for my injury."

"Anger won't put food on the table."

Gu Huai Nian smiled enigmatically: "One hundred thousand isn't enough? Name your number."

At this point, he clicked his tongue in Huo Yanbei's direction, "Mr. Huo is so poor that all he has left is money."

Qiao Mian: "One hundred million."

"He dares to give it, but you dare to take it?"

"It's best if he doesn't give it to you."

"There's nothing more to discuss?"

Are you deaf?

"..."

Gu Huainian laughed at the retort.

"With Attorney Qiao's eloquence, her debating skills in court must be even more impressive."

"Thank you for the compliment. I'll just wait and see when Attorney Gu sits in the defendant's dock and enjoy the show."

"Ha ha!"

Gu Huai Nian laughed so hard he made a goose-like sound.

Huo Yanbei looked at the eloquent and eccentric Qiao Mian with a puzzled expression.

At this moment, when she gets serious, she is resolute and decisive.

She was completely different from how nervous she was in his presence...

The man narrowed his eyes slightly.

She... seems very afraid of him?

Feeling Huo Yanbei's sharp gaze upon her, Qiao Mian instinctively tensed up.

I just want to end this dispute as soon as possible.

She pulled up the video she had secretly filmed in the bar's private room on her phone and handed it to Gu Huainian.

Gu Huainian received it, didn't look at it, and handed it directly to Huo Yanbei.

After reading it, the man made a phone call.

Soon, a man in a black suit walked in carrying a laptop.

Huo Yanbei handed him the phone.

Qiao Mian questioned, "What are you doing?"

Gu Huainian: "Using technical means to delete backup or encrypted data simply eliminates potential risks."

"..."

Qiao Mian's lips curled slightly.

She did make a backup.

Even if it's deleted, I'm not afraid.

She had a backup plan...

"Don't worry, I guarantee with my integrity that I won't touch your personal privacy on your phone."

Seeing that the little girl had been bullied so badly, Gu Huainian comforted her with a word of pity.

But this only earned him a cold laugh from Qiao Mian: "Attorney Gu, your character is worthless."

"You're really good at talking back, shall we meet up sometime?"

"What?"

Qiao Mian didn't understand the ambiguity in the words.

Gu Huai Nian had a penchant for flirting with innocent and naive girls, and with a suave grin, he asked, "Beautiful lady, do you have a boyfriend?"

Qiao Mian was about to say no, but when she caught Huo Yanbei's gaze on her out of the corner of her eye, she changed her mind and said, "Yes."

Huo Yanbei paused slightly as he smoked.

A piece of cigarette ash burned his finger bone, causing a slight, stinging pain that made him involuntarily furrow his brow.

Gu Huainian, however, was amused: "How useless your boyfriend must be to let such a beautiful girl like you go to a bar to earn hard-earned money? He might as well dump you and be with me."

Qiao Mian frowned: "Please shut up, I don't want to throw up anymore."

"..."

Gu Huai Nian touched his face suspiciously.

Damn, this is the first time in my life I've been rejected by a woman.

That's so embarrassing.

He glanced at Huo Yanbei with amusement. "You don't like me? What about him? With his wealth and looks, he must be good enough for you, right?"

Qiao Mian frowned: "He has a wife!"
