Chapter 624: 624, Weiyi was the only one hired by the law firm!
As for Chu Xiuhuang.
“Fuck!”
Enraged, he gave another hefty kick, “Fucking hell, you have the nerve to say that to the Little Princess? Why don’t you piss and take a look at yourself? You think you’re good enough? You’re worse than an animal!”
“I was wrong, I really was.” Ye Bei was prideful, but his pride was not as important as his manhood. Even under attack, he begged for mercy, “Miss Mo, I realize my mistake. I shouldn’t have said those rotten words. Please, think of it as if I was half asleep. I said the wrong thing, you shouldn’t take it to heart.”
“But it’s already in my heart, and it’s uncomfortable. What should I do now?”
Ye Bei was left speechless.
“I asked you a question. What should we do if the Little Princess feels uncomfortable?” Chu Xiuhuang then kicked him again.
These continuous kicks in the same spot caused Ye Bei to grit his teeth in pain.
But it seemed as if the attacker was addicted to the pain. Ye Bei had to plead with him, “I now know I was wrong, Miss Mo. You are generous, please forgive me this once.”
“To apologize sincerely, let me give you two options,” Chu Xiuhuang finally withdrew his leg, flicking his smoldering cigarette into the rubbish bin nearby, “First option, kneel down and apologize to the Little Princess. Second, slap your own face and admit your mistake. Choose one.”
An expression of utmost humiliation crossed Ye Bei’s bruised and battered face.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Male pride was like gold, how could he possibly bring himself to do those things in public?
But slapping himself in the face wouldn’t be much better.
“Mr. Chu…” Ye Bei tried to speak, “I have already admitted my mistake, saying those things was wrong of me, but why do you need to…”
Chu Xiuhuang immediately interrupted him, irritated, “You two, hurry up and take him out. After castrating him, throw him to the police…”
With a “snap”, Ye Bei slapped himself directly in the face.
His face was already battered and bruised, and this slap only made it worse. Despite the pain, he was quick to apologize, “Is it okay now?”
“Just one slap?” Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes and stared intently at him.
Humiliated yet desperate, Ye Bei raised his hand and gave himself a second slap.
Afraid that Chu Xiuhuang was still unsatisfied, he immediately turned to Mo Weiyi, “Miss Mo, please forgive me this once. I promise I won’t ever offend you again.”
Mo Weiyi looked at his face and was repulsed.
She turned away coldly, picked up her stuff, and left.
“Miss Mo…”
“Haven’t you left yet?” Chu Xiuhuang interrupted coldly. Ye Bei immediately turned around and fled.
The staff watched their young master leave and followed suit.
Outside, Ye Bei caught up with their vehicle. A subordinate immediately took out his phone, “Master, should I report to the police now…”
Before he could finish, Ye Bei snatched the phone from his hand and threw it onto the highway.
A car passed by, crushing the phone.
The phone was broken.
“What was that, enjoying the show while I was being beaten? Now proposing to report it to the police? Do you think I’ve been humiliated enough?”
The subordinate didn’t dare to speak, and the others kept their heads down.
The next second.
“What the fuck are you standing there for? Call 120, call an ambulance!”
**
At Yurui Law Firm.
As Mo Weiyi entered the elevator and pressed the button for the 9th floor, Chu Xiuhuang slipped in.
He smiled teasingly, “Twice now, isn’t it? Little Princess, I’ve saved you twice, but you didn’t even thank me. You just ran away?”
Mo Weiyi shot him an annoyed look, “Are you sure you were really ‘saving’ me?”
Chu Xiuhuang continued grinning, “Even if it wasn’t the case the first time, it definitely was this time, right?”
Mo Weiyi responded with a bright smile, “Alright then, someday, I’ll send you a bouquet of flowers to thank you.”
“Then I’ll need 999 roses. After all, we have to return the favor, right?” Chu Xiuhuang recalled that he had sent her three bouquets of 999 roses each.
“No,” Mo Weiyi scowled, “I only give roses to Xiaobai.”
Chu Xiuhuang: “…”
“Besides, isn’t Huanhuan your girlfriend? If I send you roses, wouldn’t she get jealous?” Mo Weiyi asked casually, unsure of the relationship between Chu Xiuhuang and Shi Huan.
Chu Xiuhuang only ended up laughing harder, “If Xiaohuan gets jealous due to that, wouldn’t that be perfect?”
Mo Weiyi was left speechless.
Do these two have something going on?
“So, Little Princess, what brings you here? You’re not here to apply for an internship, are you?” Chu Xiuhuang remarked, noting her professional attire.
Tsk tsk, she was dressed in a full suit and looked as though she meant business.
Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, “If I don’t get the job, I’m blaming you!”
“What the hell, what did I do?”
Mo Weiyi argued seriously, “Originally, after my bodyguard finished dealing with the guy, I was ready to go up for the interview. But then you had to ramble on and waste so much time. I was late and I left a bad impression on Attorney Zhou. Why would they want to hire me now?”
“Oh wow, so now it’s my fault? I help you and end up being blamed for it?”
Mo Weiyi hugged her bag tightly, her smile sweet and harmless, “Right!”
Chu Xiuhuang yet again: “……”

In the afternoon, at Nancheng University.
Mo Weiyi got to class and as soon as she sat down, the class monitor approached her. “Weiyi, Mr. Wu said you’ve been accepted into Yurui Law Firm.”
“Eh? Really?” Mo Weiyi was overjoyed. “Who else got in besides me?”
“No one else, only you were accepted.”
“Ehm…” Mo Weiyi was stunned.
It wasn’t that she was being excessively self-deprecating, it was just that…
For the past two years, she barely studied. The day of the interview was merely a tryout, considering she was not as academically competent as the other two girls.
She glanced over and sure enough, those two girls sitting together looked thoroughly displeased.
After the class monitor left, the girls got up and followed him.
“Class monitor, what exactly happened?”
“Right, during the morning interview, Lawyer Zhou seemed genuinely satisfied with me.”
“Me too, my uncle even works at Yurui! He’s the one who suggested I go for the interview!”
The class monitor cleared his throat and adjusted his glasses earnestly. “Mr. Wu said that Lawyer Zhou was quite satisfied with all three of you, but ultimately, only Mo Weiyi was approved by Lu Chenyu.”
“For what reason!” One rather impulsive girl couldn’t help herself. “She barely attends classes, and her professional knowledge is all messed up. Is it just because she’s pretty?”
“It must be! As I said, that day Lawyer Lu deliberately gave her a glance.”
“I didn’t expect Lawyer Lu to be that shallow!”
“I’m withdrawing my fanhood!”
“All men are pigs!”
Class monitor: “…”
No matter how upset these two girls were, anyway, Mo Weiyi was genuinely happy.
Of course, she wasn’t silly and promptly called Chu Xiuhuang.
“Young Master Chu, thank you so much for the internship opportunity.”
“Oh, you found out already?” Chu Xiuhuang chuckled on the other end of the line.
Looks like the Little Princess isn’t that naïve.
Mo Weiyi responded, “Who doesn’t know that Lu Chenyu and you are good bros? Without your help, there would have been no way for me to get into Yurui.”
“Didn’t expect the Little Princess to have such self-awareness.”
“Heh.” Mo Weiyi rolled her eyes.
“From now on, you’ll be working under my fourth brother. I’ll arrange everything, so Little Princess, how will you thank me?”
Mo Weiyi bit her lip. “Soon, I’ll have someone deliver roses to your company.”
They’re just yellow roses though.
A symbol of friendship!
Chu Xiuhuang gave her roses for two days straight, without any note, so she also won’t attach any note.
“OK, I’ll be waiting.”
After hanging up the call, Chu Xiuhuang made another call.
The call was quickly answered and Lu Chenyu’s icy voice came through. “What is it?”
“What attitude? Can’t you be a bit more enthusiastic when your big brother calls you?”
Lu Chenyu remained silent.
Right.
Ever since he started his career, Lu Chenyu has been an ace attorney. He’s surrounded by assistants, never had an apprentice.
And now, suddenly he’s taken on an apprentice—a delicate young woman, no less.
He could almost envision someone’s gloomy future.
However.
Chu Xiuhuang quickly remarked, “Don’t worry about it. Little Princess probably just had a whim. She’ll probably get bored after a couple of days of internship and want to quit.”
Lu Chenyu responded, “Alright.”
“Anyway, just do what you have to do. I’m only helping her out of a favor.”
“Oh.” Lu Chenyu coldly responded and ended the call.
Chu Xiuhuang didn’t bother with him.
This guy has always been a man of few words.
At first, he thought it was because he spoke too much at the court or for official business, and therefore didn’t like to chat in private.
Only later did he realize it was because he was stingy! A skinflint! Wouldn’t give you the steam off his rice!
