The Consequence of Provoking a Crazy Beauty [GL]

Chapter 54

After another half hour, the lawyer asked, "Didn't you just sign a contract with Jin Yuansen last time? It hasn't been long, and now you're signing with Huo Junxian again."

Gu Siyu said, "I'm greedy."

The lawyer's eyes were sincere; it was clear that she could see a meaning from them: You're impressive, managing both husband and wife's money.

No matter where this matter was discussed, people would think that Gu Siyu was a scammer. She picked up a strawberry, speaking calmly, "How could three billion satisfy me? If I'm going to do it, I'll take all the money. I won't let go of a single penny from husband or wife."

The lawyer said she didn't see any traps. The person who gave her the contract was honest. Seeing Gu Siyu enjoying the strawberries, she took one and said, "Let me advise you; don't be too greedy. If you push someone too hard, you might end up empty-handed, like fetching water with a bamboo basket."

"Don't worry, I know my limits. This was offered by Huo Junxian voluntarily. I won't let it go to waste." If this matter were to spread, people would likely say that Gu Siyu was two-faced, shameless, and malicious, wanting to take everything. Gu Siyu couldn't be bothered to refute. Regardless of the process, that was indeed the case. The twists and turns inside were only known to herself.

The lawyer pushed the contract back, "You can sign it. It's clearly written inside. She won't take a penny, but during the collaboration, you must fulfill all promises made to her. Your statements are quite similar in a sense. I can give everything to you, but you absolutely can't covet what belongs to me. From a humanitarian perspective, I'll advise you again, be content with what you have."

Eating strawberries, Gu Siyu glanced at her. She was scolded and wasn't very happy about it. The lawyer saw her mood and didn't say more.

The two of them sat in silence for a while. Gu Siyu borrowed the lawyer's pen, flipping through the pages, signing her name on each one. She said, "Lawyer Ji, you don't have to worry about me. Worrying won't help. There's a saying, 'Once you board the thief's ship, it's hard to get off. If you insist on getting off, you have to capsize the ship.'"

Lawyer Ji didn't say much, took a few strawberries, and Gu Siyu signed for more than ten minutes. Then she put away the documents. She had no intention of giving them to Huo Junxian right away; she would hold onto them for a while.

After finishing everything, Gu Siyu stood up to leave. She told the lawyer that if there were any further matters, she would contact her. Gu Siyu asked, "Do you still want strawberries?"

"They're quite sweet."

Lawyer Ji took a few more, and Gu Siyu said, "Do you know what this is called?"

"Hmm?" Lawyer Ji looked puzzled.

"This is called greed." Gu Siyu smiled and held the remaining strawberries in her hand.

If you're sure you don't want to eat, it's better not to touch them. If you do touch them and taste the sweetness, it becomes challenging to quit. As long as the sweetness lingers in the heart, one becomes very greedy.

The coffee shop was close to the pet hospital, just over ten minutes away. Since Gu Siyu had nothing to do, she went straight to the pet hospital.

Last time, Gu Siyu fought fiercely, and most people in the hospital recognized her. She didn't see He Xiao in the consultation room, and after waiting for a while, a young nurse came over, saying that He Xiao was in surgery. A little cat had jumped from upstairs, got injured, and then was hit by a car, critically endangering its life.

After waiting for more than half an hour, He Xiao sighed as she returned, bloodstains on her coat. She changed her clothes while sighing, saying that the little cat had been sent to the ICU for observation, and the situation was not optimistic—it might not survive.
