Chapter 48: These Clothes Look Much Better On You Than a Prison Uniform

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This man was eye-catching indeed!

She wondered if Wu Ze’s attractiveness had helped him during his legendary journey as an undefeatable attorney.

She imagined that it would be impossible for the opposing female attorneys not to swoon over Wu Ze’s seductive gaze and beautiful eyes.

When Mu Chenyan saw that Wu Ze had also come to defend her, she could not help but smile at him.

Wu Ze walked toward Mu Chenyan’s side and remained expressionless as he removed the champagne-colored rose from inside his suit pocket and quietly said, “A fresh flower for a beautiful woman. You’ve been released for some time now, but I haven’t had the time to send the Yuan Family a congratulatory present. I hope you’ll settle with this symbolic gift for now.”

He could not have just borrowed this flower from someone inside the hall, it was clearly something that he had planned to bring beforehand.

Mu Chenyan felt her heart faintly tremble as she took the flower and nodded. “Thank you, Big Brother Wu.”

She referred to him as her brother because this man had genuinely helped and encouraged her over the past two years…

Those two years had been the darkest and most helpless period of her life, but as her defense attorney, Wu Ze had always stayed by her side as a pillar of support cum motivator.

Wu Ze smiled lightly before raising his eyebrow and remarking, “These clothes look much better on you than a prison uniform!”

When she heard Wu Ze’s compliment, Mu Chenyan’s face instantly reddened.

She had previously only met with Wu Ze when dressed in a standard prison uniform.

She was fairly tall and possessed an extremely slim physique. Thus, she looked like an idiot who was wearing someone else’s clothes whenever she wore the prison uniform that was 2 sizes too large for her.

Her heart was also constantly filled with despair at the time. When she recalled her sorry state, she became embarrassed.

Wen Ya tugged at Mu Chenyan’s hand. She was very close to them so when she heard the two people talking in hushed tones, she was shocked!

She thought of Wu Ze and recalled that there were indeed two male members of the Wu Family who did not want to take over the family business that had been primed for them. One of them had become a police officer – a senior inspector in the serious crime department, no less. He carried out his tasks regardless of the perils, which sometimes included facing torrents of heavy gunfire.

The other one became an attorney who developed into a prominent figure in Luo Hai’s judiciary circle. When she heard that Mu Chenyan’s case had been handled by Wu Ze, she realized that the individual before her eyes had been fighting for Mu Chenyan’s innocence the entire time.

Feng Rao was originally already lacking in class. However, after Wu Ze had appeared, she became even more flustered and did not know how to recover!

Mu Chenyan never intended to take Feng Rao’s bait. However, she had provoked the other party through no fault of her own and caused such a disturbance. Everyone was crowding around them to watch the drama, but she knew that she absolutely could not embarrass herself by inciting an incident during the Yuan Family’s banquet.

She lowered her voice and said to Feng Rao, “Miss Feng, I know that you and Shu Qinger were as close as sisters, so I can understand why you’re upset at my presence. Nonetheless, I’m not the killer, so please bear with me for now as I’ll make sure that the real killer won’t go unpunished. If you have a heart, then let’s leave it at this for now, there’s no need to cause any more of a commotion.”

Mu Chenyan’s tone was flat when she stated her own opinion. Nor did she bother mentioning that the other party was being irrational.

Wu Ze attentively watched Mu Chenyan before a look of agreement appeared on his face.

When Feng Rao heard Mu Chenyan’s side of the story, she noticed the genuine tone in her voice realized that she had merely wrongly accused her. Her uneasy heart had caused her temper to flare.

Then, she glanced at Wu Ze’s expression and looked back at Mu Chenyan before her eye’s lit up.

Suddenly, her lips curled into a mocking smile as she said, “This Miss of the Mu Family is truly extraordinary. After spending a few days with her attorney, she’s learned to be as eloquent as him!

“You’re privately exchanging amorous glances! It’s really a shame as we all know the Yuan Family attaches the utmost importance to their hundred-year-old reputation. Third Young Master Yuan certainly wouldn’t wish to see that he’s been cheated on, right?”

After she said this, the hall became alive with commotion. Even Wen Ya’s hand that was holding on to Mu Chenyan trembled!

Since Mu Chenyan was extremely beautiful, it would not be surprising at all if she had good results when it came to romance. However, the Yuan Family had strict rules, with some of these regulations so conservative that they caused outsider’s hairs to stand on end…

What kind of person was Yuan Xuan? Since he was an extremely obsessive person, would he not stir up a big fuss if he believed these statements?
