163 Dont Hurt Her (1/2)

President Du did as he had said and brought her to a private room in a huge restaurant. Xia Qingyi looked at the humongous table in front of her. There was a sumptuous spread on the table. President Du, a serious-looking person dressed in a suit next to him and an indifferent Xia Qingyi were the only ones left in the room while President Du's remaining aides all left the room.

Xia Qingyi was actually very hungry. Running her eyes across the table, she wanted to eat the food, though she knew that the situation that she was in was not a good time to eat. She did not even know the motive of these people, which was why she forced herself to move her vision away from the food and controlled her strong urge to eat.

”Just say what you have on your mind, President Du.” Xia Qingyi wanted to end this as soon as possible.

”It seems like Miss Xia is more impatient than me, wanting to start our discussion without even tasting the dishes.” President Du said, ”But, I really like this straightforward attitude of yours, Miss Xia.”

President Du turned his head to the side to look at her. ”It's like this. I would like to work with your older brother on a recent case. But, he didn't seem too eager to consider my proposal at all and rejected me when I went to find him a few days ago. I know that you are very close to your older brother, which is why I was thinking if it would be better if you were the one to tell him. If you're willing to help, I would definitely give you remuneration that you would be satisfied with.”

Xia Qingyi laughed silently in her mind after she had heard his words. She was close with Mo Han? President Du probably did not know that they had recently argued and wanted to ask her for help after hearing from others that he had a younger sister. However, she would die even more miserably if she were to interfere with Mo Han's work now.

She said, ”Since my older brother has made a decision about his work, there probably won't be many changes to it no matter what others said. I'm afraid I couldn't help you even if I wanted to.”

”We'll have to see who does the job about this matter. Others might not be able to, but if it were you, I think that Barrister Mo would definitely consider it properly.”

Xia Qingyi shook her head as she said, ”My older brother doesn't like it when others interfere with his work, even if it's me. I think you have the wrong person.”

”If there is nothing else, I'll excuse myself.” She bowed her head slightly as she stood up, indicating that she was going out.

”Aren't you just forcing me to use force against you? Others might blame me for being so rough on a girl in return.” President Du walked towards her and patted her face with one hand.

If Xia Qingyi had had a knife in her hands at that point, she would definitely have stabbed him without a thought. Unfortunately, she did not have a knife. As a result, she could only glare at him. ”What are you planning to do?”

President Du still spoke slowly, ”Don't worry. I don't like to hurt people. Since you said no to my suggestion, then I have to ask you to cooperate for a while later and stay to watch a show with me.”

”You want to use me to force my brother to agree to your request?” Xia Qingyi asked.

”Not bad, you're quite smart.”

”I advise you to give up then. It's impossible for him to say yes.”

”Young girl, it's not good to make a conclusion even before he's here. You'll know when the show starts.”

President Du had a cigarette between his fingers as he returned to where he was sitting earlier. Xia Qingyi had also been escorted to sit next to him. She wanted to shift a little after sitting down when a cold and icy sharp item was pressed against her back.

She turned back to see that man looking at her with a knife in his hand.

”You don't have to be like this, Sir. I'm not running away. I only moved a little.” Xia Qingyi shook her head helplessly.

That person continued to look at her fiercely as he kept quiet.

She glanced to her left and found that President Du was already making the phone call. The phone rang for a very long time before it went through.

”Hello.” Mo Han's cold voice could be heard from the other end of the phone.

”Hello, Barrister Mo. I'm President Du. Do come and have a meal with me.” President Du said relaxedly.

”If it is for the case about Renda Company from that day, then I think there is no need for this meal.” Mo Han was settling another case about the allocation of a company's shares. He had no energy to deal with what President Du had said, as he thought about ending the conversation so that he could hang up the call as soon as possible.

”Please don't reject me too hurriedly, Barrister Mo. Do you know who I'm eating with currently?” President Du glanced at Xia Qingyi, who had her head bowed while she ate as she placed food into her bowl nonstop. She had been too hungry and had given up on her dignity for the table of delicious food in front of her.

Mo Han did not pay attention to President Du's words. It was a no-brainer that President Du had invited some famous people in the legal profession to get them to convince him to agree to President Du's request.

Mo Han said, ”I don't really want to know. I'd like President Du to understand that I still have documents to settle. I'll hang up now.”

”You wouldn't come even if your younger sister was here?”

Mo Han froze for a while. There was an obvious change in his tone as he asked, ”My younger sister? Xia Qingyi?”

”Yes. Why do I only now know that you have such a pretty younger sister? It's such a pity.” President Du was teasing Mo Han.
