Chapter 179 Lu Shaobeibei—How long can he bear it?
*
The next day.
Eight in the morning.
Xu Shibei put on a formal suit, a suit jacket set off her slender waist, and her long legs were gathered in a black pencil skirt.
She put on light makeup, and her beautiful lips were dyed a light red.
With a solemn expression, she picked up a black briefcase, and the small high heels fell crisply all the way to the underground parking lot.
Lu Xingzhou had already gone to the court in advance, and he still had to add a few words to the client.
And she has to go back to the law firm first, and some important originals are locked in the safe.
When she arrived at the law firm, she took out the document and put it in the briefcase, checked it several times, and then wrapped it with a rope and put it in the bag.
However, perhaps because it was the first time she went to court, she was a little nervous.
Xu Shibei drank some warm water, but still felt her heart beating a little fast.
He lifted his legs and went to the bathroom to calm down.
She stood in front of the sink and looked at the girl in the mirror.
He raised his hand and covered his face.
Xu Shibei!What are you nervous about!
I have attended so many dinner parties since I was a child, and I don't see you being nervous.
Just go to court, take it easy!
Moreover, she still went as Lu Xingzhou's assistant, so she had to be calm.
When she was distracted, the phone rang.
It was Lu Xingzhou who called.
Isn't he preparing for court?
She swiped the answer button suspiciously, "What's the matter?"
The voice on the other end was a bit noisy, and as the wind gradually entered the receiver, he seemed to have reached a quiet place before speaking: "Nothing."
Before Xu Shibei could speak, he had already continued, "I want to hear your voice."
The panic in her heart was dispelled by his sudden phone call, and the corners of her lips curled up, "Does Lawyer Lu really have pre-court anxiety?"
Lu Xingzhou sneered in his heart, he didn't know who it was, when he woke up today, he hugged him and said he was so nervous.
He just found time to call her.
But he didn't refute her words, and responded tacitly: "Yes, it's much better now."
Xu Shibei's brows were loosened, and her tone was a little coquettish, "Am I so useful? Just listening to the voice doesn't make you nervous."
Lu Xingzhou looked up at his watch, his thin lips pursed, "So are you coming over? Let me listen to it on the spot."
Xu Shibei answered with raised eyebrows, and put away the phone.
Turning around to leave, he met a pair of cold and spiteful pupils through the mirror.
She frowned, "Lawyer Chen."
I was too focused on the phone call just now, and didn't notice when Chen Manning was standing at the door.
After what happened before, Xu Shibei was good enough to be polite to her, but now he didn't want to say a word with her.
Chen Maning didn't respond. Her makeup was a little heavy today, and she looked at Xu Shibei with hostility in her eyes, and she looked extremely aggressive.
She was standing here when Xu Shibei bowed his head to answer the phone.
Although I don't know what Lu Xingzhou said over there, I can guess one or two from Xu Shibei's expression.
Since she was in college, she has been looking up to Lu Xingzhou, taking him as the direction of progress, just to be able to stand by his side one day.
However, for so many years, Lu Xingzhou's attitude towards her has always been that of his junior sister, and he is even so indifferent that he can be said to be an ordinary colleague.
In the past, she always used him as an excuse for being cold-tempered and difficult to keep warm.
However, Xu Shibei appeared.
She saw with her own eyes those emotions that she thought Lu Xingzhou would never have, deviated from absolute rationality, all appeared on the face of the man she regarded as a god.
Xu Shibei, what is she?
She is also worthy of robbing her?
Chen Manning dug her nails into her flesh, and when Xu Shibei passed her without looking sideways, she stopped her in a cold voice.
"Xu Shibei."
"You don't naively think that you are qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with him after working so hard for so many days?"
"You and him are people from two different worlds. You are spoiled and illiterate, but he is the proud son of heaven that everyone admires."
"In court, I have a tacit understanding with him. Do you think he trusts me more or trusts you more?"
"You have such a spoiled personality, how long can he endure it?"
Xu Shibei gave her a sympathetic look, and passed her out of the bathroom without any response.
Silence is the best response to her provocation.
Chen Manning could only say such unspeakable things to anger her.
Sure enough, after the door closed, she clearly heard an uncontrollable scream.
Xu Shibei glanced at the wall clock on the wall, quickly returned to her seat, picked up the file bag and left.
*
The court is a 10-minute drive from the law firm.
It happened to be nine forty past nine when she arrived.
Just as she was about to raise her legs, she was surprised to find that Chen Manning had already arrived.
There are more than one way from the law firm, and Chen Maning probably took a shortcut.
Xu Shibei walked over step by step. Lu Xingzhou was frowning and listening to Chen Manning intently, and didn't notice her for a while.
For a moment, she lost her mind and remembered what Chen Maning said in the law firm.
In court, Chen Manning had a tacit understanding with him.
She tightened her fingers holding the file bag, her fingertips turned white.
She approached distractedly all the way, until his deep voice brought her back to her mind: "Shi Bei?"
She walked steadily, only to realize that she almost passed them.
"Lawyer Lu." She nodded with a pale face.
Lu Xingzhou's eyes fell on her shiny and somewhat absent-minded face, but his thin lips were pursed, thinking that she was too nervous.
However, for this trial, many interns came to the auditorium, and there was still Chen Maning between him and Xu Shibei, so it was hard to say too much.
He only gave her a soothing look, and his voice was gentle and comforting, "Don't be nervous."
Xu Shibei was startled, nodded, and sat down beside Chen Manning.
Soon, the judge and jury entered, and the trial officially began.
Because the amount of money involved in the case is relatively large, the other party hired an old lawyer who is quite famous in commercial lawsuits.
When Lu Xingzhou spoke in court, he was determined and confident, with an innate force that made people rely on and submit to him.
As an assistant, Xu Shibei actually didn't have much to do, but Chen Manning needed more assistance.
The two exchanged nods from time to time.
When Lu Xingzhou refuted the opponent, Chen Manning could always calmly provide him with supplements and record key information for his next speech.
As Chen Manning said, this tacit understanding is almost self-evident.
It's not just Xu Shibei who thinks so, even the intern who is watching the study quietly said to his companion: "Lawyer Lu and Lawyer Chen are really a good match, this tacit understanding, a natural pair!!"
"But Lawyer Lu has a girlfriend, what a pity."
"What's wrong with having a girlfriend? What if we break up?"
Xu Shibei curled up her fingers on the hem of the skirt, her thoughts were completely disturbed.
What Chen Maning said in the bathroom repeated in her heart.
She was short of breath, her face was very ugly, her heart seemed to be pinched by an invisible big hand, and she was a little out of breath.
"Assistant Xu?" a soft voice called.
Xu Shibei woke up with a start, and she said "ah".
For a moment, all eyes from the auditorium fell on her.
Xu Shibei looked at Chen Manning, "What's wrong, Lawyer Chen?"
A gentle smile hung on Chen Manning's face, "Assistant Xu, take the audio disc."
Xu Shibei quickly put away her expression, and sat upright to take the CD from the file bag.
However, she went back and forth to search the stack of materials that were not heavy two or three times, but she couldn't find the CD.
She was a little anxious, and cold sweat dripped from her forehead.
impossible!
Because the recording is the key evidence in this trial, she checked it specially when sorting out the materials this morning.
However, after searching for many times to no avail, she raised her head in panic, her eyes were out of focus because of her bewilderment.
Chen Maning frowned insightfully, "Didn't you bring it here?"
After saying this, Xu Shibei's face turned pale again.
She felt that the sights from all directions were about to pierce her, and there was a sound of gasping.
She murmured, "I obviously put it in..."
Lu Xingzhou looked over following the sound, and he understood the current predicament at a glance.
He glanced at Xu Shibei quickly, and then said calmly, "Go look for it in the car."
Xu Shibei nodded quickly, grabbed the car keys and ran out the door quickly.
*
However, she searched for a long time, but still could not find this key evidence.
Had to come back empty-handed.
As soon as she got closer, she realized that the atmosphere was not right, and the people in the courtroom also dispersed a little.
Many interns were standing at the door of the lounge on one side, and when they saw her coming, they all had different expressions.
There are people who are quick-spoken and straightforward, and can't help but choke: "I'm used to being a rich lady, why do you come out to harm others! You can even lose key physical evidence."
"The poor client is still waiting for this money to save his life!"
Xu Shibei's lips turned pale, and his eyes looked at the speaker.
The speaker was a little cowardly by her, but he said unforgivingly, "What are you looking at?! Did I say something wrong?"
Xu Shibei stopped looking at her and went into the lounge.
But the woman's heart-piercing cries were heard from afar.
Mrs. Yuan's eyes were red, and she threw herself on Chen Manning, "Lawyer Chen, please help us!"
"We can't lose this lawsuit!"
Chen Maning endured her disgust and comforted Mrs. Yuan, "Don't worry, Lawyer Lu is negotiating."
While supporting Mrs. Yuan, she looked up at the entrance of the lounge.
When her gaze touched Xu Shibei's pale face, the corners of her lips curled into a cold arc.
The voice was not loud but could be heard by everyone around: "Assistant Xu, you are back."
The voice fell, and the chattering discussions all around stopped abruptly.
Mrs. Yuan was furious, with a ferocious expression on her face, and rushed over regardless, "It's all you! You don't deserve to be a lawyer at all!"
The next day.
Eight in the morning.
Xu Shibei put on a formal suit, a suit jacket set off her slender waist, and her long legs were gathered in a black pencil skirt.
