Chapter 112 - Layla Rong (1/2)

Kai Xin managed to find the time to meet up with Layla sometime in the middle of the week.

When she arrived at the hospital, she tried to call her mentor but the latter did not pick up her call.

Worried, she walked around the reception area and sighed heavily when she noticed a tall woman with light browning skin and loose black curls flirting with one of the houseman.

Frustrated at her lack of change despite being married, she rolled her eyes at the sight before calling out, "Layla!"

The woman turned around and smiled brightly when she saw her protege.

She went over and hugged her, "Kai Xin! I've miss you so much!"

"You know, the Judge is going to be upset if she found out you are messing around again."

Layla waved her hand and said, "Ah! No worries. The Judge and I agreed that I can flirt with the guys as long as it is for business."

Raising an eyebrow at her remark, Kai Xin asked suspiciously as they walked towards the elevator, "That was for business?"

"Of course! How else would I know that the maternal uncle just went out or that he met with someone from the Liu Family?"

"Oh!" Kai Xin was surprised to know that, "You got that from the houseman?"

Layla shrugged, "They are here all the time and I'm sure that at their age, they would gossip every now and then."

"Isn't it against client privilege?"

Layla reached over to press the button to the children's ward, "Well, I didn't ask them about their clients. I asked them about their clients' family."

Kai Xin glanced at her, "Pretty sure that goes against client-doctor privilege."

Layla laughed, "Well, it's a grey area."

They got off the lift and headed straight to the ward where Jenny, the orphaned child, was in.

When they saw private guards standing there, Layla frowned.

"They weren't here last week."

She picked up the phone and made a call, "I need the form, Dad. Please get Judge Jillian to sign."

After a while, Kai Xin heard Layla said,

"Well, what's the point of having a Supreme Court Judge as a father if he can't help with such a matter?...Uh huh. Uh huh. Fine, I'll bring Quinn over to see you. Just get this done ASAP. "

When she hung up, Kai Xin was staring at her.

"What?"

"You talked to Lord Rong like that?"

Layla shrugged. She lifted her pinky and gave it a twirl before smirking, "I have him under my control."

Glancing at the guards, she said, "Anyway, it was just a form to transfer guardianship of Jenny over to the state temporarily. With her uncle's records, I would have gotten it sooner or later."

Kai Xin shook her head at her mentor's 'misused' of Lord Rong's influence.

When Layla saw her expression, she chuckled,

"You have much to learn, my young protege. If the bad guys can use their money and backing to get out of trouble, I can use mine to get them back in trouble. Someone have to level the playing ground for those who can't play."

Kai Xin blinked. Somehow... the reasoning made sense. She had forgotten about Layla's unique way of arguing.

About 10 minutes later, Layla received the news that allowed her to proceed.

Walking proudly to the door, she ordered the guards to step aside.
