Chapter 1694. I just can’t walk, my brain hasn’t become stupid.
This time, Mrs. Chen’s expression became flustered. From Xia Yumo’s demeanor, it seemed that she really didn’t care if she took up her lawsuit or not.
It was her, though; she had made an appointment a long time beforehand to have Xia Yumo represent her in court. Now, she was the one at a disadvantage.
Lawyer Liang was Chen Cong’s attorney, so when she told him that she would not prosecute her lawsuit, it was equivalent to telling Chen Cong that he still had room to renegotiate.
"You... "
Mrs. Chen’s hands trembled in anger, "Lawyer Xia, I’ve paid one million in attorney fees. Are you really not taking my case?"
"Even if you give me two million now, I still wouldn’t want to take up your lawsuit."
Even though Xia Yumo was sitting in a wheelchair, her momentum was not weaker than Mrs. Chen’s.
"As for the previous fees, I will treat them as charity and not take any money from you, Mrs. Chen. Now, you may leave."
With that, she pointed in the direction of the door.
"No... No, Lawyer Xia, please reconsider... "
At this moment, Mrs. Chen no longer had her previous arrogant attitude, and her expression had softened somewhat.
However, Xia Yumo had no desire to exchange any words with her, "Please, Mrs. Chen, it would be ugly if I asked the security guard to escort you out."
Mrs. Chen saw that Xia Yumo was unmoved and gritted her teeth in anger. She finally left reluctantly.
When the door closed, it made a loud noise that made people frown involuntarily.
After driving Mrs. Chen away, Xia Yumo turned to Qiao Xiu and raised an eyebrow, "Why did you come to see me today?"
Qiao Xiu got up and walked over. She didn’t answer Xia Yumo right away but instead stared at her delicate and self-assured expression and smiled:
"The Xia Yumo I know seems to have come back."
The self-confidence and pride in her eyes had not been diminished by her inability to walk.
Watching her unyielding confrontation with Mrs. Chen just now, there was a momentary lapse when she forgot that she was still sitting in a wheelchair.
Xia Yumo was stunned for a moment before breaking into laughter, "It’s just that my legs can’t walk, I haven’t lost my mind."
She had two cups of coffee brought in and then asked Qiao Xiu, "So, what brings you to me today?"
Qiao Xiu’s face showed a hint of imperceptible stiffness. After hesitating for half a second, she looked at her and asked:
"Mo Mo, do you still remember Gu Junhao, whom I mentioned to you last time?"
Xia Yumo nodded her head.
Before her amnesia, she had known of Gu Junhao. But after losing her memory, the first time she heard of this name was when Qiao Xiu mistook Gu Junhang’s name and mentioned him.
"Why would you bring him up all of a sudden?"
She didn’t know much about Gu Junhao, just that he was Gu Junhang’s half-brother.
Generally, siblings with such connections don’t have the best relationship.
Qiao Xiu tightly gripped her hand, not knowing how to break the news.
Seeing her like this, Xia Yumo suddenly felt a sense of unease, "What happened? Is it related to me?"
Qiao Xiu thought for a while and nodded.
"Gu Junhao is Dr. GU."
Recently, Dr. GU was very popular online, especially in the Chinese community, where he was praised as a savior of the Chinese people.
Having made such a significant contribution, Xia Yumo, of course, knew about him and had even been curious about what kind of person this mysterious Dr. GU was.
Never did she expect that Dr. GU would turn out to be Gu Junhao.
"Gu Junhao? That 20-year-old kid?"
It wasn’t just Xia Yumo who couldn’t believe it. Qiao Xiu wouldn’t have believed that Gu Junhao could have made such earth-shattering achievements in pharmacology if she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes.
