Chapter 13.2

Soon the marriage laws ended and were replaced by the inheritance laws. Outwardly everyone’s faces had large smiles but inside they were crying their eyes out. They could only wear a smile and generously donate money.

Soon there was already a pile of money on the table.

The people of JunHeng were too embarrassed to attack their colleagues so they had to be as shameless as Qian Heng and attack the other lawyers and partners. Li Chengxuan tragically endured most of the firepower and contributed nearly 1,000 yuan.

“Something urgent suddenly came up, you guys continue chatting. I’m leaving first.”

After saying that, he pretended to answer a call and made an excuse to escape.

Attorneys from several other firms followed suit.

“I suddenly remembered that I have an email from a client and it has not been processed yet so I’ll have to take my leave now!”

“My wife got angry at home and said she would divorce if I don’t go home! Sorry, but I’ll withdraw now!”

“I also have something so I’ll be going too!”

Soon, all the partners and lawyers from the other firms were gone and only the people from JunHeng’s were left to kill each other…

Cheng Yao was secretly glad that she was spared as she had not been pointed by the bottle all this time but as soon as she finished thinking this, the mouth of the bottle was aimed at her…

It should be fine! Cheng Yao comforted herself in her heart. The marriage law and inheritance law had basically all been drilled into her memory. The remaining few which hadn’t been asked, she had already secretly checked with her mobile phone whilst going to the toilet just now. She should be able to pass it!

Looking at Cheng Yao, Qian Heng smiled deviously: “Judicial Interpretation of the Marriage Law (1) Article 7.”

Cheng Yao: ???

Was this even the Marriage Law? Why did the Judicial Interpretation get involved? Was this even legal?!

It was a pity that no matter how unwilling Cheng Yao was, not knowing was just not knowing. But she still struggled for a full minute and in the end she had to take out her purse with reluctance.

But once she knew Qian Heng’s routine, Cheng Yao felt relieved again. She pretended to go to the toilet and then secretly used her mobile phone to read all the few judicial explanations.

Not long after, Cheng Yao was at the mercy of Qian Heng again.

This time Cheng Yao was full of self-confidence. Qian Heng, Qian Heng, this time even if the wind blew from east to west, I won’t be moved!

It was a pity though, she thought ahead but not far enough.

“On August 27th this year, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress reviewed the drafts on the divisions of the Civil Code. The drafts of the succession divisions were revised on the basis of the current inheritance law. What legal changes are planned to be made to the will?”

Cheng Yao was truly shocked: “Can this question be asked?”

Qian Heng took the bait: “As a family lawyer, shouldn’t you be sensitive to the country’s domestic legal trends?”

“But the the changes haven’t been made!” Cheng Yao protested, “aren’t the rules of the game to ask about the law? These aren’t the law yet?!”

Qian Heng turned the tea cup in his hand and grinned, “Cheng Yao, I made the game rules. Don’t you know that the game rule maker generally has the final say?”

“…”

“If I say the current revision plan counts, it counts.”

Qian Heng finished speaking slowly and calmly took a sip of his tea.

Looking at Qian Heng’s expression, Cheng Yao got very sad and angry!

This was revenge! This was definitely revenge! Just because she didn’t rush home to fix the water pipe in time, she was now suffering under her boss’ schemes.

However, facing Qian Heng’s obscene power, Cheng Yao couldn’t do anything. She could only endure her heartache and took out another fifty yuan.

“The current inheritance law stipulates the form of wills, including notarised wills, self-written wills, written wills, recorded wills, oral wills, etc. It has established the principle of giving priority to fair wills, clarifying ‘self-written, written, recording and oral wills. The notarised will cannot be revoked or changed’. The previous draft added new forms of wills such as printing and video recording on this basis and revised the rules on the effectiveness of the will. It deleted the above-mentioned provisions in priority of the effectiveness of the notarised will.” Qian Heng looked around. “Have you all remembered it now?”

“Remembered it, remembered it.”

“Partner Qian will always be Partner Qian, so keen on the legal changes in the industry hahaha!”

“I’m going to learn from Partner Qian and study well!”

“Almighty Partner Qian, you’re my role model!”

Cheng Yao glanced at the various colleagues eager expressions. In the face of Qian Heng, everyone’s desire to survive was obviously very strong.

A good game had turned into a conference meeting where people exchanged their knowledge and learned from others headed by Qian Heng.

250.1

In the end, under Qian Heng’s guide Cheng Yao lost a lot of Grandpa Mao.2 However, compared to losing money, Cheng Yao felt that Qian Heng deliberately made her lose the two hundred and fifty yuan.

Now this number was like a joke, scornfully mocking Cheng Yao.

Cheng Yao was depressed and she picked up a cup to drink tea. Unfortunately, there was no more tea. Bao Rui had some fruit wine placed on the side. Cheng Yao gave herself a cup with the mentality of giving it a try.

Unexpectedly, the taste was not bad. It was sweet and fruity. It didn’t taste like wine but like a juice drink instead. Cheng Yao thought it was delicious so she poured herself another glass.

When Bao Rui noticed Cheng Yao’s bright red cheeks, she had already killed most of the bottle of fruit wine alone.

“Oh my God, Cheng Yao, why did you drink so much! I ordered this wine to appease myself! The alcohol content is 24 percent! It is much higher than ordinary beer and red wine!” Bao Rui was stunned. He looked at Cheng Yao, “Are you okay?”

Cheng Yao obviously could hear Bao Rui’s voice and feel the actions of people around her. However, she felt that everything in the outside world received by her own brain was very slow. She felt a little dizzy and her face felt like it was on fire. Her whole body became very hot. She obviously lost a lot of money to Qian Heng but she felt like she was floating.

Tan Ying cautiously said: “Boss, look at Cheng Yao, she’s drunk so why don’t we stop here for today?”

Li Minglei hurriedly saw the signal and said: “Yes, Partner Qian. Look at Cheng Yao’s expression, it seems very uncomfortable. Why don’t we let her go home and rest?”

Qian Heng looked around the crowd and finally nodded. It was as if the emperor had allowed all Aiqing to retreat without incident.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Qian Heng, the death terminator had finally let them go…

Bao Rui hurriedly prepared to slip away. Before leaving, he was still quite considerate and thought about making arrangements for Cheng Yao: “My legs are an inconvenience. Tan Ying, you send Cheng Yao home.”

However, when Tan Ying was about to help Cheng Yao out, Qian Heng’s voice interrupted her.

“No need.” His voice was as cold as ever. “You two are girls and it’s not safe to leave together. I drove here so I’ll just send Cheng Yao back on the way.”
