Chapter 16 - Xiao Mei (II) (1/2)

As a Xiong, they gave importance to their image. They would not go out in the open like this.

”Whether I'm related to Xiong or not is not important. As I said, Xiao Mei needs your help. By next week her trial will come. We need to visit her tomorrow and know exactly her situation.”

Xiong Zhi alone could help Xiao Mei to get out of the prison but that would take time. With Lawyer Chang's help it would be faster.

Of course, she would take the faster route.

”She's my friend. I'll definitely help her. Even the CJ's block me.” Lawyer Chang said with determination.

Xiao Mei was her only female friend. They were best friends since High School. She knew with her temperament no one wanted to approach her, some did but quickly step back with a single reproach from her.

She was known as a hard girl since young. She talked with sharp words not caring who she talked to, and was guarded all the time .Her wall was high up that no one could climb up.

But Xiao Mei was different to all the people she met.

She was also the opposite of her.

Xiao Mei was a lovely girl that get along with everyone. She was patient unlike her who were very impatient and easily get angry. She always concerns herself with others even it was not related to her.

She was kind that sometimes Bivia Chang get annoyed with her. She, Bivia Chang, did not care anyone and was selfish. She admitted it to herself.

But the thing she like the most about Xiao Mei was her sincerity and loyalty.

Many backstab her and badmouthed her to Xiao Mei. But Xiao Mei did not believe those rumors and did not care at all if she had a bad image to other people making the students around her treat her indifferently unlike the kindly treat before.

Furthermore, she could see that Xiao Mei sincerely want her to be her friend.

When she asked her one time why she stick to her, Xiao Mei just answered.

”Because your a 'friend' that's hard to come by. It's a waste to not be your friend and to have a friend like you.”

Hearing her answer that time, she was confused at first.

But in the next moment her heart warmed up, she was moved.

A friend that's hard to come by

She understand then what she meant. In other words,

A true friend

Since that day she let her climb up to her wall and gladly accepted her.

Even now she could not believe that they would become best friends.

Her friend that put so much trust in her was in trouble right now. She did not need to think twice.

Lawyer Chang was about to open her mouth to ask something when she heard a noise from the back door. A few seconds a tall man with wavy short black hair came out. His pretty eyes with a thick brows on top, darted around and spotted them.

When he walked closer, one can see his straight nose and plump lips. He was a little pale but it did not decrease the dashing man's aura and pretty countenance.

”Biv'er , I was looking for you, Are you al----?” The man stopped for a moment when he noticed Lawyer Chang serious and some what worried expression. Even the woman always look serious he still could tell what was serious or not.

He furrowed his brows. He knew Bivia Chang since college. They were in the same department but different course. Since he knew her, he knew that the only thing that made this woman serious and worried was her only best friend, Xiao Mei.

Did something happen to Xiao Mei?

He walked toward Lawyer Chang. When he came to her side he eyed Xiong Zhi.

He was startled at first because of how young Xiong Zhi was.

What is a young girl doing out here in the night?

Then he leaned closer to Lawyer Chang.

”Is it about Xiao Mei?” He asked. It was unlike of Xiao Mei to missed his grandfather funeral. So like Lawyer Chang he was sure something happened to her. But seeing Lawyer Chang's expression he knew it was worse than he thought.

”En. But don't worry about it. I will handle the matter. You need to focus in your family now especially your mom, she needs you.” Surprising Xiong Zhi, Lawyer Chang's voice was soft and gentle.

Xiong Zhi looked at the man.

'Who is he?'

Then it dawned on her. She remembered what the receptionist said earlier.

Is this man the prosecutor that Lawyer Chang has relationship on?

The prosecutor just looked at Lawyer Chang. He knew how stubborn she was if he denied. So he only said,

”If you need me don't hesitates to call me. Xiao Mei is also my friend.”

”Of course we will need you, I will tell you when the time comes. Rest first.” Lawyer Chang ushered him to go.

Without a choice he left them. He really trust Lawyer Chang. He knew that she was not foolish enough to talked or made a deal to any stranger, so the talked with the girl must be true and important.

After he left, the two girls face each other again. Lawyer Chang started first.

”Thanks for telling me this even I don't know your intention. But I will handle the rest-”

”Let's go tomorrow at 2pm to Quangpayan police. I will help you to get there. Don't wear any suits, just casual and a rubber shoes. Also a jacket and a cap. I'll pick you up in the near coffee shop at police station.” Xiong Zhi interrupted her. She knew what Lawyer Chang was going to do. Lawyer Chang want to handle it in old ways by herself. If she did that it would take months for the law to act up and if they did not present sufficient evidence the case would be drag out longer. And Xiong Zhi did not want that.

She needed Lawyer Chang but as a lawyer only. She would do the rest.

Lawyer Chang was speechless at her rude interruption.
