Chapter 237: Chapter 237

Walking all the way inside, passing through the grand and magnificent South Asian-style stained glass corridor, I finally saw a human being, rather than a bird.

A fair-skinned, handsome young boy bowed and greeted, "Welcome."

As I entered the big door, I saw Tang Yansheng from afar. She was attempting to match a Buddha’s head with an existing Buddha’s body in the store to see if they would fit. Upon seeing Shi Nian come in, she carefully placed the Buddha’s head back onto its original sandalwood stand, solemnly put her hands together, and then turned around to introduce the boy to Shi Nian, "His name is Xiao Kai."

Shi Nian couldn’t help but chuckle again.

Xiao Kai, what a nice name.

Tang Yansheng wasn’t surprised by Shi Nian’s reaction and said, "We also have a girl here named Zan Hua. Together, they make up ’Zan Hua Xiao Kai.’ When I’m not around, they handle things for me. However, Zan Hua is off today, so it’s just Xiao Kai here."

Shi Nian laughed and pointed to the entrance, "Isn’t there more than just the two of them, like the one at the door..."

"Oh, you mean it." Tang Yansheng seriously nodded, "The one at the door is a male, but to balance the yin and yang of the store, I gave it a female name, called—Yuhuan."

Shi Nian burst out laughing.

I really didn’t expect that beneath the dignified facade, the eldest sister of the Tang family is such an interesting person, and she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Tang Yansheng turned her head confidently, "Don’t you think Yuhuan is the perfect name for it?"

Shi Nian thought for a moment and nodded with a smile.

Indeed, it’s white and plump, just like a white jade ring, hence the name Yuhuan. One wonders what the Great Tang Concubine Yang Yuhuan would think if she knew she shared her name with a parrot, and a male one at that.

The two finally sat down at a low table, covered with a luxurious Indian-style tablecloth, surrounded by Indian-style cushions and pillows.

Shi Nian directly stated the purpose of his visit, "I’m here today because I wanted to ask you to look at a grain pearl."

Knowing that Tang Yanqing had been to the South Asian region and studied the culture there extensively; and since Nisha coincidentally had Indian heritage, and Yanwu Square is now located in an Indian community area... Shi Nian wanted to find out if the grain pearl had any possible connection to Yanwu Square.

Tang Yanqing took the grain pearl and placed it under a magnifying glass for careful examination, "To be honest, although South Asia also uses grain pearls, their tradition favors gold more."

"Oh, that’s okay." Shi Nian retrieved the pearl.

Even if it was temporarily impossible to find a direct link between Zhou Guanghan’s death and the Child Wife Case through the grain pearl, there would be other opportunities in the future, and the grain pearl could still be associated with the Mark family.

Tang Yansheng, however, fixed her gaze on Shi Nian and slowly said, "Actually, the reason I invited you over today... is because I wanted you to meet someone."

Shi Nian raised an eyebrow, "Who?"

The café was tranquil.

Since Rosa and Lin Qi entered, no other customers had come in.

Rosa knew that the shop wasn’t usually this quiet, but rather it was because of Mr. Lin Qi’s presence. The shopkeeper had cooperated by clearing the area to facilitate their conversation.

Lin Qi then spoke about the matter with Xiang Yuan.

"I came here with great apologies and sincerity for Lawyer Xiang, assuming that Lawyer Xiang would definitely accept my sincerity, but unexpectedly..." Lin Qi sighed with regret, spreading his hands, "It seems Lawyer Xiang indeed loves his wife dearly and has declined my invitation multiple times because of her. It looks like we might have to try our luck with other law firms."

The Lynch family needing to "try their luck" with other law firms? Rosa thought that perhaps all the major law firms, upon learning of Xiang Yuan’s refusal of Lin Qi, were already swarming in, trying to snatch Lin Qi up for themselves!

Moreover... the reason Xiang Yuan rejected such a good client was actually because of Shi Nian.

Rosa couldn’t help but smile bittersweetly, but she still tried her best to strive for the law firm’s interests, "Mr. Lin Qi, I think there might be a misunderstanding here. Furthermore, you mentioned that Lawyer Xiang didn’t outright refuse you; he said he needed to think about it more, which means there’s still room for negotiation."

"Mr. Lin Qi, how about this? Since I’m fortunate enough to have met you today, it’s my duty to help mediate the situation with Lawyer Xiang. Rest assured, as a partner at the Huatai Hall, I have the authority to advocate for Huatai Hall’s interests by requesting Lawyer Xiang to reconsider." Chapters first released on novel✦fire.net

Lin Qi’s face showed surprise and delight, "Really? But I’m worried Lawyer Xiang loves his wife so dearly that he might not even care about your opinion, Miss Rosa."

These words... left Rosa feeling even more disheartened.

She couldn’t help but wonder, given Mr. Lin Qi’s status, he might even know about her relationship with Xiang Yuan. After all, at many business events, she attended with Xiang Yuan as his female companion and had often been mistaken by those unaware as Xiang Yuan’s girlfriend or wife... Therefore, Mr. Lin Qi’s words came off as slightly sarcastic.

She crossed her arms confidently and smiled, "Mr. Lin Qi, if I’m willing to say this to you, I’m confident. Lawyer Xiang is not as concerned about his wife as you might think. Don’t you know yet, Mr. Lin Qi? They are legally separated, which means they are, in fact, divorced. If he still cared so much about his wife, he wouldn’t have reached this point."

"Really?" Lin Qi couldn’t help but smile with joy, "That’s great news. I’ll leave it in your hands, Miss Rosa, and I look forward to your good news."

Tang Yansheng stood up and went into the inner room, bringing someone out.

As soon as Shi Nian saw, he quickly got up in surprise.

Tang Yansheng walked toward the door with Xiao Kai, closing the door behind them.

Shi Nian was a bit at a loss, "Mrs. Tang, why are you here? Are you also here to shop at Sister Yan Sheng’s store? What a coincidence."

Shen Wan quietly smiled, "It’s not a coincidence. I specifically came here to wait for you, Shi Nian. I’d like to have a chat with you."
