Chapter 240 Du Ruo
Lu Zimin obviously didn't believe her.
"You are such a big restaurant, and you are the owner, a little girl?"
Lai Fu was a little dissatisfied and was about to speak, but was stopped by Xie Jiaojiao.
In fact, she thought she had disguised herself very well. She even put on a beard. But since she was seen through, she did not deny it.
"Lawyer Lu has a sharp eye."
Lu Zimin glanced at her and asked, "Are you really the boss?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "The boss is my husband!"
"Then you're going to court?"
"For my husband!"
After listening to her, Lu Zimin laughed twice: "You really agree to everything?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "As long as I can do it!"
Lu Zimin poured himself another glass of wine, held the glass and looked at Xie Jiaojiao with a smile: "In this case, why don't you stay with me for one night, and I will agree to fight this lawsuit for you!"
Lai Fu, who was standing behind Xie Jiaojiao, rushed over and grabbed his collar, saying hatefully, "How dare you speak to my young mistress like that!"
Lu Zimin smiled calmly, looking up at Lai Fu: "What? You dare to attack me? Your wife hasn't said anything yet, when is it your turn to interrupt?"
Lai Fu looked at Xie Jiaojiao and said angrily: "Young Madam, I will throw him out!"
Xie Jiaojiao stretched out her hand to stop him: "Laifu, let go."
Lai Fu was unwilling: "Madam, he insulted you like this..."
"Let go!"
Lai Fu's chest was heaving violently, and even his nostrils were changing with his breathing. Finally, he pushed away Lu Zimin and stood behind Xie Jiaojiao.
Lu Zimin patted his collar sarcastically.
Xie Jiaojiao said coldly: "I didn't expect Attorney Lu to be such a person!"
Lu Zimin said indifferently: "Just tell me whether you agree or not! I tell you, if you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again."
Lai Fu looked at Xie Jiaojiao and said, "Madam, don't agree to him. If the young master knew about this, he would wish he was dead and would not let you be insulted!"
Xie Jiaojiao gave him a comforting look, then chuckled, "It's worth it to use my and my husband's reputation to save my husband's life..."
Lu Zimin smiled.
"Young Madam!" Lai Fu shouted anxiously.
"But I don't want to!"
Xie Jiaojiao looked at Lu Zimin: "You humiliated me, it was just a romantic thing, but it is indeed a thorn in my heart and my husband's heart, which will eventually hurt both of us. Instead of this, I might as well find another lawyer to fight this lawsuit for me. Even if the chance of winning is not that high, there is still a chance of winning. And if this lawsuit is finally lost, at worst my husband will leave first and I will follow, which can be regarded as the love between him and me as husband and wife!"
When Lai Fu heard the latter part, his eyes turned red.
"Young lady..."
Lu Zimin probably didn't expect Xie Jiaojiao to say this.
He stared at her, and it was obvious that she didn't tell a lie, and he felt a little shaken in his heart.
Xie Jiaojiao didn't want to waste any more time talking to him. Since this way didn't work, she thought of another way.
He bowed to Lu Zimin and left with Lai Fu.
After Gu Weizhi finished his work, he went to find her immediately.
Xie Jiaojiao had already changed back into women's clothes. Seeing him coming, she hurriedly asked him to sit down: "Manager Gu, I have something I want to trouble you to do for me."
Gu Weizhi nodded quickly and asked her to speak.
Xie Jiaojiao said: "Go and help me check on Lu Zimin. What does he usually do in the brothel?"
Gu Weizhi didn't know what happened today. Of course, Lai Fu would definitely not tell him about this kind of thing. After all, if he said this, it would insult Xie Jiaojiao's reputation.
"Why did the young lady ask about this? And what did he say when you asked him to help you with the lawsuit today?"
Xie Jiaojiao pursed her lips and said nothing, and it was obvious that there was no progress.
Xie Jiaojiao said: "You have to find out quickly, because the trial will be held the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll do it right away!"
Gu Weizhi came early the next morning.
Xie Jiaojiao did not sleep again last night. Although her eyes were closed, her mind was filled with Jiang Weinan's figure and what had happened in the past few days.
I haven't had a good rest for two days in a row, and I look even more haggard.
Gu Weizhi looked at her and for some reason, he couldn't help but feel distressed for such a woman.
"Young Madam, I found out."
Xie Jiaojiao quickly perked up.
Every time Lu Zimin went to a brothel, he would actually order a woman named Du Ruo.
"Du Ruo?"
Gu Weizhi nodded: "I asked around, and this Du Ruo is quite famous."
"tell me the story."
Gu Weizhi then talked about Du Ruo's life experience.
It turns out that Du Ruo was the daughter of a wealthy family and had been engaged to Lu Zimin since childhood.
However, ever since Lu Zimin took part in the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, the Lu family has looked down on the Du family. After all, the Du family is made up of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans. It is normal for them to look down on the Du family who are in business since their son has achieved fame.
But unfortunately, the parents did not agree. These two young people have been childhood sweethearts.
One is waiting to be married, the other is waiting to be married.
When Lu's parents saw this, they thought that their son's future was the most important thing at the moment, so they kept putting off the matter.
There was no other way until the end, so Lu's parents came to the house and said they wanted to cancel the engagement!
The Du family could not stand being treated like this, and their daughter had been waiting for this marriage for years, but she was getting too old, so they did not agree.
But the Lu family didn't care whether they agreed or not. They just returned the engagement items and immediately arranged another marriage for Lu Zimin.
When Du Ruo found out, she tried to commit suicide and wanted to go to the Lu family to ask for an explanation, but the Lu family refused to see her. Since she couldn't see Lu Zimin, she spent some money and asked the person who delivered food to the Lu family to take a message to Lu Zimin, saying that she was waiting for him at the old place.
But the letter never reached Lu Zimin's hands as it was stopped by his parents.
But Du Ruo didn't know, and was waiting for him with the girl at the old place, and it was at this time that Du Ruo ran into the robbers!
Not only did the robber ruin her reputation, he also took her along the way and sold her to a brothel in Jiangyang Prefecture...
When the Du family found her again, it was half a year later. She had been in the brothel for half a year and was no longer the lady she used to be.
In order not to tarnish the reputation of his family, Du Ruo refused to admit that he was Du Ruo.
The old couple was going back to get the money to redeem Du Ruo, but unexpectedly they encountered bandits on the way...
Xie Jiaojiao sighed when she heard this...
Gu Weizhi continued, "Lü Zimin later found the letter Du Ruo had sent him from his parents, and learned about Du Ruo's experience, so he came to find her. However, Du Ruo hated him so much that she was unwilling to let him redeem her. Lu Zimin gave the madam some money and tore up her indentureship in front of her, but Du Ruo was unwilling to leave the brothel!"
"Is that why Lu Zimin hangs out in brothels every day?"
Gu Weizhi nodded: "And I heard that Lu Zimin's parents have come to see him many times over the years, but Lu Zimin is unwilling to go back and even cut off relations with his parents!"
Xie Jiaojiao pursed her lips: "Then I'll pack up, and we'll go meet Du Ruo later."
