Chapter 948: No One Wanted to Take Her Case
He Xiyan had already met with four lawyers and now she was at another law firm meeting the fifth lawyer.
He was a young lawyer who wasn’t even thirty, and his name was Lu Xiang.
Mr. Liu looked through the documents that she had handed him but he looked conflicted even before he finished browsing through the documents. Then, he smiled awkwardly as he said, “I’m sorry, Ms. He but I wouldn’t be able to help you with this case.”
“Why not? Am I not paying enough?” she asked as she looked at this lawyer who looked elegant and refined in his black-framed glasses.
She had already been to two famous law firms in Ye City and this is the third firm she was visiting. She had seen more than 10 lawyers but there wasn’t a single lawyer who was willing to take up her case.
Lawyer Lu shook his head and he still looked discomfited as he said, “I’m really sorry, Ms. He, but I don’t have the ability nor the confidence to win these two custody cases on your behalf. I would suggest you visit other law firms so that you wouldn’t be wasting your money on me. I hope that you’ll be able to find a better lawyer who’d fight this battle on your behalf.”
He said with an apologetic smile. The defendants of both cases hailed from wealthy families and they couldn’t afford to get on their bad side.
He Xiyan packed up her documents.
She decided not to impose on these lawyers any further and she had already guessed that they didn’t want to offend either Ye Hao or Mo Yixuan by accepting her case, so there wasn’t any use in pressing them further.

She walked out of the law firm and saw that the sun was still shining brightly in the sky. It was spring, so the sunlight was warm and welcoming but she didn’t feel warm at all. She felt extremely cold and this chilliness seeped all the way into her heart.
She drove her new car, a white BMW sedan. Her car plate number was a temporary vehicle license plate. She didn’t know where she was going as she drove one round around Ye City. She finally stopped in front of a mansion located west of the Namu River.
She stared at this mansion that was located in a prime location. The mansions around this area all looked similar and this mansion was no different.
She lingered outside the door for a while and was a little worried but she finally summoned the courage to press the doorbell.
She didn’t want to intrude on her sister but she realized she didn’t have much of a choice. She was the only person who would be able to help her at this juncture.
Soon, a ‘person’ emerged from the security area. In fact, it was a robot that looked like a human. However, the features of this robot were so well-defined that it made it obvious that it was a robot. The robot was named Andrew and it was very tall with caucasian features.
“Hello, ma’am. I will be conducting the verification process by scanning your face and your fingerprint. Please wait a moment,” it said.
Its eyes suddenly widened and two beams of red light emitted from its eyes as it scanned He Xiyan’s face.
The doors slowly opened 10 seconds later.
Andrew gestured for her to enter and said, “Welcome Ms. He Xiyan.”
He Xiyan was speechless.
She gaped at the robot in shock but since she had never interacted with a robot, she didn’t know how to respond.
Xi Xi had told her that there were many intelligent robots in Shu Man’s house, so she guessed that there were probably many more talking robots inside the house.
He Xiyan entered the house and found it odd when she didn’t encounter a single person after entering the house. There wasn’t a single maid.
All she saw were robots of various shapes and sizes.

"Logan." She calls out to me and I squeeze my eyes shut. "Tell me, what do you want," she whispers into my ear. She places a kiss on my neck, just below my jaw. My fucking sweet spot. With a moan, "stop it," I demand. I put my hands on her lovely wide hips to push her away, but I only end up pulling her closer. "I'm m-married. I l-love my wife!" I stutter, wishing away my stiff hard on. "If you loved her so much, than why are you here with me, Logan. Tell me what you want." The way she says my name, she takes my breath away. "I-I want..." Tell her you want her to stay away. Tell her that you want nothing to do to her, I chant in my head. "I want... you." A groan falls from my lips as she grasps the back of my neck to pull me down to her level before putting her luscious lips in mine. __________Beginning Date: August 2019End Date: -#3 in Scandal - 2020#2 in Cheating - 2020#8 in affair - 2020
