Chapter 2034 The Life of a Tycoon 21

Liu Ying returned to the classroom and, in front of everyone, begged Wu Qingcheng for help.

"Qingcheng, please, I only got into trouble with Su Yan because I was standing up for you. You can't just abandon me."

Wu Qingcheng tried to push Liu Ying away, but Liu Ying clung tightly to her arms, her face covered in snot and tears from crying.

The students in the class all looked at the two of them, and everyone was talking about it.

"What's going on? What did Liu Ying do?"

"Don't you guys know? That post on the campus forum about Su Yan being a mistress was posted by Liu Ying. Now she's hired a lawyer to sue her for defamation. Either she pays the lawyer's fees and apologizes in public, or she'll be sued." A classmate who happened to have witnessed the scene at the school gate explained to the students.

"So it was her who posted it. She's really bold. Did she think no one on the internet could find her?"

"Therefore, anything done will leave a trace, so never take chances."

"She's just standing up for Wu Qingcheng. Do you think Wu Qingcheng will help her?"

Listening to everyone's discussions, Wu Qingcheng now hated Liu Ying to death. This bitch was clearly trying to put her in a difficult position and force her to help.

But where would she get that much money? Besides, even if she did, why should she give it to her? It wasn't her who told her to do it.

"Liu Ying, I really have no choice. I'm just an ordinary college student, where would I get so much money?"

"You must have a way. You know so many people, please help me."

"How can I help? I really don't have that much ability."

Liu Ying suddenly leaned close to Wu Qingcheng's ear and said, "If you won't help me, then I'll have no choice but to release our old chat logs. Have you forgotten how you used to complain about the people who were pursuing you?"

"Do you threaten me?"

"Qingcheng, I have no choice. I was sued because of you. You are also half responsible."

"How could I possibly come up with that much money?"

"I believe that with your charm, you can definitely get that much money."

The reason Liu Ying got together with Wu Qingcheng was simply because she was beautiful and had many rich second-generation men vying for her attention.

This can be considered a kind of network. If those people want to pursue Wu Qingcheng, wouldn't they have to curry favor with her, their best friend?

She had benefited greatly from Wu Qingcheng's influence in the past.

She thought this time she could help Su Yan solve the problem and get more benefits, but instead she got herself into trouble.

She can't afford to leave a stain on her record now, so Wu Qingcheng has to take responsibility for her no matter what.

Wu Qingcheng was so angry that she gritted her teeth. It was clearly her own stupidity that led her to bite back.

However, thinking of the rich kids she had complained about in the past, she knew that once the chat logs were exposed, none of them would like her anymore.

Her innocent image would be ruined, and thinking of this, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree to help Liu Ying find a solution.

"Don't cry. How could I abandon you? I just don't know what to do right now. Let me think about what to do."

"I knew you wouldn't abandon me. I'm counting on you for everything, Qingcheng."

"Okay, don't cry."

The classmates watched a good show, and seeing that the two had made up again, they could only sigh that female friendships are truly unpredictable.

What could Wu Qingcheng do? She could only ask those rich second-generation heirs for help one by one.

The first person she contacted was Sun Hao, since Sun Hao had always been her number one backup option.

“I think you’ve heard about what happened recently. Sun Hao, you’re my best friend, and Liu Ying is also a good friend. Could you lend me some money? I want to help her. She was sued by Su Yan because she was standing up for me.”

"Qingcheng, you are so kind. That Liu Ying only knows how to cause you trouble, and you still help her."

"She's my best friend, after all. She stood up for me, so I can't be ungrateful. I've already planned to sell all my luxury goods to help her raise money, but it's still far from enough."

Wu Qingcheng said with a self-reproachful look, appearing even more anxious than Liu Ying, as if she cared more about this friend.

Seeing how anxious and kind she was, Sun Hao readily agreed, saying, "There's no need for a loan between us. I'll give you 100,000 yuan. Take it. I hope it will help you."

"Ah, thank you so much, but your 100,000 plus the money I made from selling those bags is far from enough. I need to think of another way. Luo Feiyang wanted to ask me out for dinner before, but I didn't agree. This time I plan to try asking him out."

Wu Qingcheng said this on purpose to imply to Sun Hao that she had no choice but to ask the rich second-generation heir who had previously pursued her for help because of Liu Ying.

Upon hearing this, Sun Hao's expression indeed changed, and he frowned, advising, "Don't go. How much more do you need?"

“Su Yan made her pay one million in compensation. Her money, my money, plus the one hundred thousand you just agreed to lend, still leave us with about seven hundred thousand.”

"Seven hundred thousand is still short! Su Yan is asking for the moon. Why would she hire such an expensive lawyer for such a small case? She's clearly trying to extort money from us."

She said she was one of the top lawyers in the country.

"Hmph, what top lawyer? I think she's just making things up and trying to scam you out of your money and make things difficult for you."

"But there's nothing we can do about it."

"Hmph, I'll go ask what kind of lawyer charges so much money. Don't panic."

Sun Hao stormed off to find Su Yan, thinking to himself that their company's lawyers only earned a million a year, and that a lawyer who only handled such a small case dared to charge a million. He didn't believe Su Yan was really willing to hire such an expensive lawyer.

Wu Qingcheng was happy to see him go to Su Yan, after all, if he really found out that Su Yan was lying, maybe they could save that million.

This saves her from having to ask those rich kids for money and owe them favors.

Sun Hao asked someone to help him find out that the lawyer Su Yan had hired was a lawyer named Zuo Xin.

He called the company's legal department directly to ask the company's legal team if they had heard of a lawyer named Zuo Xin.

Their legal team must know all the nationally renowned lawyers.

"Zuo Xin, why is the Second Young Master asking about him?"

"Never mind that, just tell me, is there such a lawyer in the legal profession? He is said to be a top lawyer in China, so he should be very famous."

"Yes, Zuo Xin is considered one of the top ten lawyers in China. He is best at defending criminal cases, and because of his defense, a new precedent has been set in China for 'child abuse resulting in death' which can be punished with the death penalty."

"Is his fee very expensive?"

"It varies from person to person, but it's definitely not low."

"How much would it cost to help someone sue another person for defamation?"

"This is a complete waste of talent. Zuo Lü won't accept it, will he?"

"Okay, I see."

He wouldn't take on such a small case; if he did, it would definitely be because Su Yan offered too much and he couldn't refuse.

He was originally confident that he could find evidence that Su Yan had taken the opportunity to extort money, but he never expected that she would hire such a top lawyer.
