"Thank you." Mrs. Zhou thanked sincerely.
Liang Feng exchanged a few polite words, then turned his attention back to the quiet girl next to him and asked, "Ms. Qiao, before I came here, I heard that one of your friends will also attend the lawsuit as a member of the legal team, is that right?"
The girl raised her eyes, feeling the attention from all directions, and said calmly: "That's what happened."
Liang Feng said: "Your friend..."
Qiao Nian's dark eyes saw through his thoughts and said concisely, "He is not from Country Z. He is already in Country M."
"Uh..." After these words were spoken, many people showed puzzled and confused expressions.
Aren’t the people from country Z suing for them
Who wants to get involved in muddy water
Liang Feng took a deep breath and said, "Then I'd like to ask Miss Qiao, where is your friend from?"
"You can ask even if it's inconvenient for you." The girl was straightforward, but she was not angry. She was just impatient with him asking her questions like a criminal: "M countryman."
Everyone was in dead silence.
The Zhou family members looked at each other in bewilderment.
M countryman
This time, Zhou Xuxing was forcibly detained by the FBI. She hired an American as her lawyer to sue Zhou Xuxing. She also hoped that Zhou Xuxing would win the case and return home.
Old Mrs. Zhou looked in the direction of the girl with clear eyes, but one of the Zhou family members who was more calm at the scene did not gossip about it.
Zhou's mother was quite anxious: "Will the M countryman help us with the lawsuit? What if he leaks our information..."
Father Zhou coughed and quickly pulled her back: "Okay."
Old Mrs. Zhou didn't say anything, but she was looking at Qiao Nian, silently waiting for the girl to give them an explanation. Qiao Nian's temples, which had not slept well, were throbbing with pain, and her cerebral cortex felt numb and numb as if an electric current was passing through it, facing the gaze of seven or eight pairs of eyes.
All she said was, "He wouldn't do that."
Mother Zhou wanted to say something: "But..." Who can guarantee it
Liang Conglin stepped between the two parties to smooth things over: "Mrs. Zhou, Qiao Nian's friends won't do what you're worried about."
In fact, the people present did not understand Qiao Nian’s circle of friends. He was someone who had experienced it a few times, so he knew Qiao Nian’s luxurious circle of friends too well.
She just said he was a friend, but maybe he was a big shot in this field.
If Qiao Nian really called in the bigwigs in the legal profession, it would only benefit them in their lawsuit against the FBI. No matter how powerful Liang Feng is and how much he specializes in international law, he still doesn't understand the law as well as the local bosses, right
"We have to believe her. She won't joke about Zhou Xuxing's affairs." Although Liang Conglin didn't know who the friend Qiao Nian was talking about, he had already put himself in the role of protecting Qiao Nian.
Zhou's mother stammered, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself from speaking. She kept looking in Qiao Nian's direction. She still didn't believe Qiao Nian, nor did she agree with having multiple M people in the legal team.
Mrs. Zhou made the final decision: "Okay, I believe Miss Qiao."
"Mom." Zhou's mother called hurriedly.
Mrs. Zhou didn't even look at her and said to the others, "Let's go through security."
No matter how much worry Zhou's mother had, she had to swallow it down and supported Old Madam Zhou as she walked away with a heart full of worry.
Dai Jiaqi lingered and stayed behind, and when most people had left, he stopped in front of the girl with a complicated expression.
"You didn't do this on purpose?"
"?"
Qiao Nian was quite impatient.
Dai Jiaqi was afraid of her, bit her lip, and mustered up the courage to say, "We still have to compete with you fairly, so I hope you don't play tricks."
