Chapter 480: Would A ‘Gold Medal Lawyer’ Like Him Need Gu Mang’s Help?
Jiang Shenyuan continued, “When the girl was arrested, her parents said that their child was underage and that the police had no right to arrest their children no matter what.”
“With such parents, it’s no wonder that the child turned out like that,” He Yidu said calmly.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
In the past, “hell is empty and the devils are in the mortal world” felt like a platitude, but now, it seemed to carry some weight.
It was quiet for a while.
Gu Mang looked at Jiang Shenyuan and said suddenly, “How confident are you about the case?”
Jiang Shenyuan put down the teacup and thought about her words. Then, he smiled faintly. “The firm is almost done with the preparation. We are 90% sure that she will be convicted and given life imprisonment.”
Gu Mang nodded. Hearing that there was a good chance at a good verdict for the case, the atmosphere lightened a little.
When Qin Fang thought of the girl’s words, a look of disgust appeared in his eyes. “She is quite vicious for someone her age.”
Yu Mufeng agreed. “She needs to be punished.”
Qin Fang did not expect that his casual topic would make the atmosphere so depressing. He cleared his throat and changed his sitting posture without making a sound.
Jiang Shenyuan poured himself another cup of tea and said to Gu Mang, “If we can’t handle it, we’ll come for your help again.”
Gu Mang acknowledged with a hum. When Qin Fang and He Yidu heard that, they turned to Gu Mang and then back to Jiang Shenyuan with a stunned look.
What did Jiang Shenyuan mean by that? Help from Gu Mang? How many lawyers are comparable to Jiang Shenyuan in the entire country? Would a ‘Gold Medal Lawyer’ like him need Gu Mang’s help?
They had always thought that Gu Mang was the one who received help from Jiang Shenyuan. After all, Jiang Shenyuan helped with Meng Jinyang’s case.
Jiang Shenyuan said that he would come to Gu Mang if they could not handle the case. Did that mean that Gu Mang was even better than him?
Lu Chengzhou looked at the girl beside him and tightened his hand around hers. He rubbed his thumb on the back of her hand. Just then, there was movement at the door.
Butler Lu led a group of people in. Ji Heng and Qin Rui were among the newcomers. Gu Mang knew a few of them were children from aristocratic families.
“Brother Cheng.”
Everyone greeted each other, lightening the mood. It suddenly became lively again.
When they saw Gu Mang, they did not dare to address her as they pleased.
Lu Chengzhou introduced her to them rather proudly. “This is my girlfriend, Gu Mang.”
When he said that, the group of people who had just entered was stunned. Their big boss had never introduced any girl to them in such a formal way. What’s more, he said ‘girlfriend’ so readily!It was no wonder why their big boss no longer hung out with them anymore.
After a while, the group regained their senses and said in unison, “Sister-in-law.”
When Yu Mufeng heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.
Gu Mang nodded politely with a clear look in her eyes. “Hello everyone.”
Yu Mufeng was speechless.
She’s admitting to it just like that?!
The sofa in the living room was instantly filled and everyone talked casually with one another. When they asked about Lu Chengzhou’s injuries, the room became silent again. Qin Fang knew to give just a brief overview on it.
Butler Lu placed the drinks and fruit platters that he had prepared on the coffee table.
Ji Heng smiled when he saw the picture album in Gu Mang’s hand. “You finally remembered that you still have a design draft that you haven’t submitted.”
Gu Mang raised her eyebrow and did not answer.
The group of people chatted for a while and they took out a mahjong table. The hall was really lively. Lu Chengzhou had some matters to take care of so he went to the study. Gu Mang and Jiang Shenyuan stood by the panoramic windows.
She had a cigarette between her fingers and she leaned lazily against the window frame as she played games.
“The old man in my family heard that you were in the capital and he has been urging me to take you to see him every day. Big boss, when do you think you will have time to visit our house?” Jiang Shenyuan joked with her for once.
