My Youth Began With Him

“Aye… So you’re Ms. Huo Yanyan… You look very beautiful…” a man in his 50s said with a large grin on his face. He was balding and looked rather disgusting.

“Hello, Mr. Wang. You can just call me Huo Yanyan.”

“Please, sit Ms. Huo. Sit here,” the man said enthusiastically.

His male assistant put down two cups of coffee.

“Ms. Huo, have some coffee.”

“No thanks. Let’s cut it short, Mr. Wang. I’m here today for my mother’s case. What do you think the chances of winning are?” Huo Yanyan said impatiently. She leaned against the sofa and sounded condescending.

“Oh, no rush. We can talk about this slowly. I looked into your mother’s case. You can say that this is a case everyone in the city is talking about.”

“My mother’s case is going to go on trial soon. I’m anxious so can you just tell me what are the chances of winning?” Huo Yanyan asked.

“What kind of results do you want, Ms. Huo?” the old man chuckled and looked at Huo Yanyan from top to bottom.

She was in a rose pink suit. Her skirt was a tight and short one, showing off her beautiful porcelain legs. It was rather alluring.

“Of course I would hope my mother is acquitted..”

“Acquitted? Haha, Ms. Huo sure is funny. You do know that it’s impossible right? Your mother is being trialed for kidnapping and they arrested her at the scene with sufficient evidence. It’s not a good case for your mother.”

“What do you think we can get then?” Huo Yanyan crossed her arms and looked at the man.

“Hm… how should I put it? Under normal circumstances through the judicial process, she’ll be sentenced to at least 20 years of prison, but since you came to me, I’ll do my best. The legal documents said that the male suspect with your mother is dead now, right?”

“Yes. He’s the primary culprit. My mother is only an accessory,” Huo Yanyan asserted.

“Yes, that’s a good way to go but the lawyer on the other side isn’t stupid. They will attack your mother from multiple aspects to increase the sentence. With my years of experience, the probability of your mother having a reduced sentence will increase. I will try to get the lightest punishment possible. What do you think?”

“What are you planning to do?” Huo Yanyan asked curiously.

“Hehe, I can’t tell you right now, it’s a secret. That’s how it is in my industry. If I told you now, I would be throwing away my own business.”

“Okay, fine. Let’s talk about money then. How much?” Huo Yanyan took out her wallet and was ready to pay.

“Moneywise, the price is reasonable since your friend recommended you. I won’t charge you that much. Let’s say a discounted price of one million. What about that?” the man said and raised one finger.

Huo Yanyan thought this was unbelievable…

“What? One million? You’re kidding right?” Although Huo Yanyan did not lack money now, she did not want to be ripped off.

This man was not a famous lawyer. At most, he would be a B-tier lawyer that took on divorce cases, but now he was charging one million yuan. He was being too greedy.

“Mr. Wang, as you mentioned, my friend recommended me to come to you. How can you be so greedy?” Huo Yanyan said unhappily.
