Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 456: Chapter 341: Dad, You Don’t Understand Him at All!

Wu Chengjun rolled his eyes at the words.

"Don’t worry, you’ll definitely die before me."

"By the way, why aren’t you in court today, and instead, bothering me?"

Wang Yao wasn’t bothered by the cursing at all, and simply said with a clear and bright demeanor:

"Haha, I’m not in charge of the spy case, I’m responsible for the mining case... if it’s going to be refiled, it’ll have to be in the Middle Court or the High Court for the first trial, but no matter what, I’m definitely not taking it!"

"By the way, where’s my daughter?"

"Where did my daughter go?"

Saying that, Wang Yao looked around, but he couldn’t spot Yang Ruoxi anywhere, and immediately felt puzzled.

He didn’t have much opportunity to meet with Yang Ruoxi.

In the past, he could go home over the holidays at least, but... not anymore.

Eastern Country was constantly having major cases, making him see stars, and barely having time to go home, so he cherished every moment spent with his daughter, regardless of being ignored...

No worries, just seeing her is good enough!

"She’s gone."

Wu Chengjun said lazily, sitting in the rocking chair in the courtyard.

"Gone?" Wang Yao was stunned.

"Yes, she went back to Qingshi City, left with my student."

Wu Chengjun said, and then paused, with a curious look on his face, he looked at Old Wang and tentatively asked:

"Old Wang, does your daughter have a sweetheart?"

Hearing this.

Wang Yao, still confused a moment ago, immediately snapped back to seriousness.

"No way, absolutely not!"

Wu Chengjun laughed and sat up from the rocking chair, looking at him and said with a smile:

"Do you know what your daughter is doing now?"

"Of course, isn’t she working as a secretary for your litigious student?" Wang Yao replied, expressing discomfort.

"Do you know how much her salary is though?"

Wu Chengjun continued, knowing well lately how Xiaoyang enjoyed sleeping in more than him.

Man, he couldn’t help but feel sorry for the salary cut, and occasionally said good things to Xu Liang, hoping he’d cut less.

Wang Yao hesitated, having never asked about it, then tentatively said:

"One thousand?"

Even though his daughter didn’t graduate from Upper City University, she was from a top-tier university, and with him backing her up, she had both looks and abilities...

Even hiring a high-educated pretty face wouldn’t be just one thousand!

"Two hundred."

Wu Chengjun couldn’t help correcting him.

"Two hundred!? Working tirelessly for a month to just get two hundred!?" Wang Yao was shocked.

He had no idea his precious daughter was living so poorly.

"What two hundred, it’s your daughter who gives my student two hundred to work for a month!"

Wu Chengjun corrected.

Hearing this, Wang Yao was even more shocked, his entire mind was in chaos, even his language system was disturbed.

Paying to work?

His own daughter needed to pay to work!?

"No... this... does this comply with labor laws!?" Wang Yao asked in disbelief.

"Why ask me? Go ask your daughter."

Wu Chengjun replied casually, and after a pause, added:

"Of course, I wouldn’t suggest you desperately cling to her, ignoring the obvious."

When Wang Yao dealt with major cases, his composure remained.

When facing public criticism on new laws, he let others scold him.

When dealing with a spy case, he barely managed.

But now...

Hearing that seeing his daughter was like encountering a treasure, and she was still paying to work for someone at two hundred yuan a month...

Wang Yao was stunned in place as if the world turned black and white and felt like he might shatter.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

He felt his daughter’s behavior was completely unacceptable, clearly, a lot of people would love to adore her for just appearing.

Why did she have to chase after Xu Liang!?

He paced back and forth anxiously, while Wu Chengjun checked things slowly on the side.

For a long while...

Wang Yao stopped in his tracks.

"No, I have to give Xiaoyang a call!"

He gritted his teeth, took out his phone, and dialed the number with both hands cradling it.

Wu Chengjun glanced at him but didn’t stop him.

For a long while, until the call connected with a ’beep’, Wang Yao immediately spoke:

"Xiaoyang, where are you right now!?"

From the speaker came Yang Ruoxi’s voice, crisply saying:

"Shangcheng Airport, Dad, I’m planning to return to Qingshi City."

"Uh-huh."

Wang Yao quickly responded, then hesitated, struggling with words, he slowly said:

"Xiaoyang, are you... struggling to find a good job? If not, let Dad help you?"

"I heard... you’re only making about two hundred yuan a month now?"

He dared not ask if she was paying two hundred instead.

He thought his precious daughter wouldn’t do that...

"No, not at all."

The voice of Yang Ruoxi came through the speaker.

Before Wang Yao could breathe a sigh of relief, she continued:

"I’m now paying two hundred yuan out of pocket... If the car goes far, it might even be four or five hundred yuan."

Wu Chengjun looked up at the sky.

He thought he heard thunder, striking directly on Wang Yao’s forehead.

"Maybe I heard wrong."

Wu Chengjun blew on his tea, taking small sips.

Wang Yao was silent for a long time, then earnestly said:

"Xiaoyang, why don’t you change jobs? Dad will find a way to transfer you to Upper City, and our family of three can be reunited. Wouldn’t that be nice, that scoundrel...

"Dad, I’ve told you, Xu Liang is not a scoundrel!"

Yang Ruoxi immediately retorted.

Wang Yao became even more bitter and said, "He doesn’t give you any money, and you have to pay him money instead. If that’s not a scoundrel, what is!?"

Even unscrupulous capitalists will at least pay some salary!

In a daze.

Wang Yao suddenly recalled what Wu Chengjun had just said, could it be that Xiaoyang is in love with someone...

Wang Yao was momentarily stunned, then immediately his heart trembled, saying:

"Xiaoyang... Do you... like that little rascal!?"

Like?

The phone was silent for a moment.

The next second, a voice erupted from the speaker, embarrassed and angry.

"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about!?"

"I’ve said Xu Liang is not a scoundrel, and I mainly work at his law firm because... um... anyway..."

"You don’t understand him at all!!!"

The words were finished.

Wang Yao became anxious inside.

He doesn’t understand?

The opposing evidence ambushed him right in the face; there are hardly a few people nationwide who understand Xu Liang better than him!!!

Unfortunately, just as he was about to speak.

The call was immediately hung up.

"Beep beep beep~"

Listening to the sound beside his ear, Wang Yao stood there feeling bewildered by the wind.

"Hehe, I told you it’s best not to call, the old guy believes it now," Wu Chengjun said cheerfully.

"Moreover... your daughter likes my student, and my student might not even like your daughter!"

"My Xiaoyu is also good, has looks, has body, and is smart and virtuous."

These words seemed to hit a certain nerve.

Wang Yao immediately reacted, "My Xiaoyang is also very smart!"

Saying so, he gave himself a pat on the mouth.

"What am I competing with you for..."

Wang Yao sat on the stone bench, looking distressed.

Could it be that his daughter really likes that scoundrel...

Impossible... Can’t be...

He ambushed him with evidence, and he’s Xiaoyang’s biological father...

"No way, no way..."

Wang Yao was comforting himself inside.

"Xiaoyang has always been obedient and sensible!"

...

...

In the airport.

’That annoying old man!’

Yang Ruoxi’s pretty face was crimson, as if it could seep blood, her breathing slightly quickened, her clear eyes darting around like a startled fawn.

’What like or not like... it’s just been a year and a half of working together...’

’And he’s unethical, occasionally bullies me, why would I like him...’

’As for Xiaoyu... I’m just worried about my sister, afraid she’d be deceived by this jerk!’

Yang Ruoxi was comforting herself inside, she stole another glance at Xu Liang beside her, who was bored and had his head lowered, snoozing.

At this look, she paused a bit.

Her heartbeat slightly accelerated uncontrollably, her gaze a bit sluggish, for a long time, she subconsciously thought.

’Looking at him like this... he is rather handsome.’

With this thought.

Yang Ruoxi was stunned, then immediately reacted, coming back to her senses.

’No no, how could I think this!?

’He’s someone who calculates people 24/7, even scoundrels are afraid of him... but doesn’t this also mean he’s very capable?’

’No no no... yes yes... no... yes...’

Yang Ruoxi’s mind was plunged into a chaos.

For a long time, she finally looked at Xu Liang.

"Hey, hey." She knocked Xu Liang awake.

"What’s wrong?" Xu Liang was a bit confused.

The next second....

Yang Ruoxi took a deep breath, felt it wasn’t enough, so she took another deep breath, then stared seriously at Xu Liang with her flushed face, mustered her courage, and quietly asked:

"What... what kind of girl do you like?"

Xu Liang: ?
