The devil affectionately calls me a bad guy

"Could it be that the endless stream of commissions means..." Li Lin's mouth twitched.

“They are all that kind of commission!!!”

Xiyu wailed in despair and scratched her hair with both hands.

"Relocating local residents to build a steel mill, chemical wastewater that is obviously problematic but can't find any evidence! A scumbag who is cheating on his wife but wants to claim compensation from her, a bastard who wants to slam the victim for compensation even though it's his own dog that bit someone and he deserves to be beaten to death! They're all commissions like this! Do I look like someone who likes such commissions?"

But from the appearance, it doesn't look like it, but what can I do...

Li Lin looked around the office and nodded slightly.

The decoration of this office shows that it is the kind of office that is decorated by a conscienceless lawyer who gets excitement from playing with the bottom line of the law.

Xiyu covered her heart with her hands and slumped on the back of the chair with a painful expression.

Although she has encountered this situation more than once, she still cannot accept or get used to it.

"I spent three months' salary and ate instant noodles for three whole months to decorate the office to such a level that bad guys can stay away. I've already raised the lawyer's consultation fee to the point where I want to slap myself in the face, but why do those people keep coming!"

Yeah, probably because...

Li Lin turned his face away in embarrassment.

Bad guys are richer.

Chapter 199: Actually, I am not a good person either

"The result is that hell is empty, and the devil's reputation as a villain lawyer on earth becomes more and more famous. Hahahaha... It's so strange. I clearly want to lose, but I don't know why, I never lose even once."

Xiyu's eyes were extremely empty and she smiled foolishly.

"It's clear to me that we're going to lose no matter how I look at it."

Because you are interpreting it from the perspective that justice will prevail.

Li Lin muttered in his heart.

"But I can win even if I just paddle a little."

Because those guys must have dealt with all the evidence before coming here.

"Things have come to this..." Xiyu slumped in the chair as if she had been played to pieces, staring blankly at the ceiling, "No normal client is willing to come to me anymore. Oh, by the way, not long ago the police suspected that I had evidence of those people hidden here and came to search. It has already... reached the point where the police suspect that I am an accomplice."

"Uh... your consulting fee is very discouraging for normal clients," Li Lin said with a subtle expression as he stretched out his hand and gestured, "Lawyer Xiyu, have you ever considered... lowering the price a bit?"

"Lower it..." Xi Yu was stunned at first, then stood up suddenly, raised her hand and slammed the table excitedly, "If I lower the price, won't more bad guys come to me to defend me?"

"But as it stands now, only bad people come to your defense."

"Cough——" Xiyu covered her chest and almost vomited blood.

Li Lin, this touched upon her sorrow.

However, Xiyu quickly recovered from despair.

"But——Aren't you here now!!!"

Li Lin's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously turned his gaze away, not daring to meet Xiyu's sparkling eyes.

In fact, he is not a good person either.

So Xiyu's wish to help good people was not realized.

"Lawyer Xiyu, I was the one who made the decision on this matter. Will that girl accept your and my help..." Li Lin tilted his head back slightly.

He regretted from the bottom of his heart for coming to find Xiyu.

I always feel like I'm being entangled by a super troublesome woman.

"It's okay! It doesn't matter if she doesn't want to accept my help! I will convince her! Don't leave!!!"

Seeing that Li Lin looked like he wanted to go back, Xiyu immediately cried and threw herself onto the desk, hugging Li Lin's arms tightly, like a poor woman who was dumped by her beloved man and begged him not to do this.

Damn, my bad premonition came true!

Li Lin's expression was extremely stiff and he pumped his hands vigorously.

After all, he was just looking for an excuse to meet with this lawyer Xiyu. If this excuse was beaten to death...

He could already imagine Su Qiqi rolling her eyes at him.

"Money! I can give you money! So don't leave! Give me a chance to be a good lawyer!"

Damn, it’s becoming more and more like… huh?

Li Lin blinked hard.

"You...want to give me money?"

"Yeah, yeah! I'll give you money! I'll give you money so I can help that girl!"

Ah, this world...

"So?" Su Qiqi blocked the door, her arms folded across her chest, staring at Li Lin and Xi Yu behind him, whose eyes were shining with an eagerness that she found difficult to resist.

"Ahem - actually, she's a lawyer, and she's here to help -"

Before Li Lin finished speaking, the door was slammed shut. The wind made Li Lin's face tremble.

"This..." Li Lin turned his head somewhat embarrassedly and looked at Xiyu, hoping that this lawyer who wanted to be a good person could have some self-awareness.

Unfortunately, the light in the eyes of this lawyer who wanted to be a good person became even brighter and more eager.

Obviously, Su Qiqi's unhappiness was interpreted as the window of her soul being closed tightly.

She really wants to be a good person.

Even Li Lin felt a little uncomfortable.

Of course, if it doesn’t work out, he might have to return the money.

"It's okay, I have the key," Li Lin raised his hand and patted his chest, then took out the key and opened the door.

Perhaps she had expected that he would use the key to open the door, so Su Qiqi did not leave. She stood at the door, her bare feet standing on tiptoe impatiently.

Visible irritability and unhappiness.

"You, come and talk to me."

Seeing that Xiyu's eyes were still flashing with a light that she couldn't refuse, Su Qiqi reached out and grabbed Li Lin's collar and pulled Li Lin in with force. Xiyu did not go in, but stood at the door and looked at Su Qiqi eagerly, as if she would never enter this private space without an invitation.

Damn, he's the most troublesome kind of guy.

Xiyu gritted her teeth and pushed Li Lin into the living room.

"Hey! What do you mean?" Su Qiqi glanced at the door and lowered her voice, "You are not treating my house as your private place for hooking up!"

"Do you think she's someone I should hook up with?"

Of course not.

The corners of Su Qiqi's mouth twitched.

Xiyu's attention was obviously on her.

"It's normal for a guy like you to have sex with any woman!" Su Qiqi cursed unwillingly, "In the end, that woman will end up lying on your bed for no apparent reason anyway!"

Lu Qin also nodded vigorously.

"But I can guarantee that at least today, I am not taking action with the purpose of getting her to lie on my bed," Li Lin raised his hands above his head with a helpless look on his face. "Her name is Xi Yu, and she is Jiang Ling's defense lawyer. In other words, she is the lawyer standing on the other side of Lu Qin's case."

"So why did you bring this lawyer to my house?" Su Qiqi said with a wry smile.

"It's because I was curious about what the lawyer who gave Jiang Ling asylum looked like, so I found an excuse to go and take a look. But then, ahem, ahem, I accidentally got into trouble. It's not something I'm very happy to see..." Li Lin smiled awkwardly and turned his face away, "I got entangled."

"So, it can't be that," Su Qiqi smiled brightly, but also raised her finger and pointed at herself coldly, "I am the one for you, just an excuse."

"Well - I'm a good citizen and I don't have any excuse to see a lawyer," Li Lin scratched his face.

If there is, it would most likely be the kind of case that Xiyu least wants to take, defending bad guys.

"Tsk——"

Su Qiqi was extremely irritable.

Logically, she should have picked up a chair and hit Li Lin out, and shouted to Xi Yu outside the door, "Stop meddling in other people's business!"

But Xiyu's eyes were so eager and friendly that she really... couldn't say anything bad to someone who looked at her like that.

If she was just speaking ill of Li Lin, she would naturally not hesitate at all. Unfortunately, if she spoke ill of Li Lin now, she would have to speak ill of Xi Yu as well.

"If you do this again next time, I won't let you go!" Su Qiqi glared at him viciously and stepped hard on Li Lin's right foot.

Chapter 200 Don't look at me! You are the lawyer!

With Su Qiqi's reluctant welcome, Xiyu sat on the sofa. Almost subconsciously, Xiyu leaned on the back of the sofa with her arms around her chest, quickly crossed her legs, raised her chin slightly, and stared at Su Qiqi with squinted eyes.

The arrogant, cold, and visible bad woman aura was like a heavy hammer that made Su Qiqi and Li Lin lean back with their hands around their chests at the same time.

For a moment, the living room fell into a dead silence in which neither of us spoke, and whoever spoke first would lose.

Su Qiqi's expression gradually became subtle. At first, she thought Xiyu was a good person, but now no matter how she looked at him, he didn't look like a good person.

"Ahem - Lawyer Xiyu?"

Li Lin, who could tell at a glance that Xiyu had subconsciously entered the professionalism mode, coughed forcefully, reached out and grabbed Xiyu's raised right leg and pulled it down.

Xiyu first blinked her eyes with a look of confusion on her face, not understanding why Li Lin canceled the gesture she used to dissuade those clients. It was not until she saw Su Qiqi's increasingly subtle expression that she suddenly realized that she was not dealing with those bastard clients, but a poor girl. Her face turned red in an instant and she quickly sat up straight.

"Well, um, I'm sorry. I said that subconsciously just now. It was definitely not directed at you, really!" Xiyu stuttered and waved her hands.

Su Qiqi held her forehead with her hand and remained silent for a long time, then turned her head and glanced at Li Lin.

Is this guy here to make people laugh?

Li Lin and Su Qiqi looked at each other for a while and then turned away silently.

Xiyu was certainly not here to make people laugh, but now he was somewhat suspicious that Xiyu was here to make people laugh.

"Ahem... that is, Miss Su Qiqi, could you please tell me in detail about your commission?" Xiyu hurriedly took out a notebook from her backpack and looked at Su Qiqi eagerly.

"This……"

If possible, Su Qiqi really wanted to say, I don’t have anything to ask of you, please go back.

But seeing that Xiyu looked like she was about to cry, she couldn't bear to do so.

Su Qiqi sighed deeply, raised her elbow and hit Li Lin's lower abdomen hard.

"Cough——" Li Lin covered his mouth and fell to the side softly.

"Okay, Lawyer Xiyu, actually..." Su Qiqi rubbed her hair gently and sighed, "When I was about six years old, my parents divorced, and my mother raised me alone."

"Um, please tell me!" Xiyu immediately raised her hand, "Why did you get divorced?"

Su Qiqi's eyes twitched, "My father cheated on me."

"Ahem - yes, sorry," Xiyu smiled awkwardly and lowered her head.

How embarrassing! I should have known not to ask!

Xiyu shed two seaweed tears in her heart.

"Then some time ago, because of some things, my mother died..." Su Qiqi pursed her lips and turned her face away, "She was killed by someone."

Xiyu froze in place holding the pen.

Well... so embarrassing!

She felt a little regretful now. She originally thought that Su Qiqi's mother died in a car accident, but... she was actually murdered. And judging from Su Qiqi's attitude of not wanting to talk about it in detail, she was afraid that she could not tell the way she was killed.

It’s not that she wanted to give up the commission, but she regretted going there directly without any preparation.

Xiyu turned her head stiffly and looked in the direction of Li Lin, tears seemed to be glistening in her beautiful eyes.

What, what should I do!!!

Don't ask me!

The corners of Li Lin's mouth twitched wildly.

"Ahem - um, I want to discuss with Mr. Li Lin first whether I can use the toilet," Xiyu stood up stutteringly like a rusty robot.

"Oh, sure," Su Qiqi blinked.
