Chapter 111: Who Will Be Responsible?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Facing Lawyer Ding’s list of charges, Lu He immediately looked at his lawyer and urged him to refute the other party’s words.
However, the well-known lawyer he invited actually had a hint of cowardice in his eyes.
Under Lu He’s urging gaze, his lawyer finally took a deep breath and said, “Lawyer Ding, I want to refute a few of your claims. You said that Miss Lu Zhen and my client are not biological father and daughter, but the adoption relationship is also recognized by the law.
“Also, Miss Lu Zhen was less than 18 years old when she entered the entertainment industry. She lacked the ability to manage and control herself. As her guardian, Mr. Lu He should protect her and take care of her, but Lawyer Ding, you misunderstood Mr. Lu He just now. Your words are unfounded.”
Lu He’s lawyer braced himself and picked out a few loopholes in Ding Xian’s words, barely giving Lu He some face.
The two sides argued for nearly half an hour. Lu Zhen’s patience was running out. She looked at Lu He coldly and said, “I’m not here to debate with you today. Let’s put the conditions on the table and talk now.”
Lu He also knew that at this point, it was impossible for Lu Zhen to continue staying in the company to earn money for him.
What he needed to do now was to obtain the greatest benefit for himself before Lu Zhen left.
Lu He coughed and said solemnly, “Alright, then let’s discuss the terms. Lu Zhen, when you were in my company, you signed a contract with more than ten brands. If you leave my company, you need to compensate according to the terms of the contract.”
Lu Zhen rolled her eyes and couldn’t help but sneer. “I’ll lose money? Why? When I can earn money, the money will be yours. When it’s time to lose money, it’ll be my responsibility? You’re ugly but your dreams are beautiful. Lu He, have you forgotten that I wasn’t an adult when the contract was signed? It was signed in the name of the company with the partner. You’ll be the one to pay for the compensation. What right do you have to make me compensate?”
Lu He was trembling with anger. He slammed the table. “You’re an artist of the company. The contract was tailor-made for you. Now that you want to break the contract, you naturally have to compensate!”
Lu Zhen couldn’t be bothered to explain further to Lu He. She looked at Lu He’s lawyer and sneered. “Mr. Lawyer, your client doesn’t seem to have any legal knowledge. Tell him, who should pay for this money?
Cold sweat trickled down Lu He’s lawyer’s forehead.
In the end, he said with difficulty, “Mr. Lu, you do need to pay for most of the breach of contract.”
Lu He’s face darkened, and his expression looked a little sinister and terrifying. He clenched his fists and looked at his lawyer in shock. “Whose side are you on? Did I pay you to speak up for her?”
Lu He’s lawyer was very helpless. How could he explain it to Lu He? The legal provisions were written in the code. Lu He was indeed the most responsible party. Did he have to lie to Lu He?
Lu Zhen looked at Lu He in satisfaction and her smile became even brighter.
“Alright, it’s very clear who should be responsible. You can contact Lawyer Ding for the rest. Then I’ll say goodbye first. Oh, this goodbye means that it’s best if we don’t meet again. Bye!”
Lu Zhen took her satchel and put on her black sunglasses. Then, she smiled at
Lu He and Lu Rou and turned to leave.
“She left just like that?” Lu Rou was so angry that she almost slammed the table. “Dad, didn’t you say that you would teach her a lesson?
Lu He’s heart was almost bleeding. When he thought of those sky-high endorsement fees, his heart almost stopped beating.
Initially, he thought that Lu Zhen was just a little girl in her teens. All these years, she had been controlled by him. She did not have much courage or knowledge. When negotiating, as long as he seized the initiative, he would have absolute say.
However, he did not expect Lu Zhen to be so domineering! She did not give him any chance to refute.
Lu Rou was extremely disappointed. When she saw Lu Zhen’s smiling face, she wished she could cut her face with a knife!
No, she could not let Lu Zhen continue to be smug!
“How was the negotiation?” Lu Zhen had just left the Lu family’s company when she received a message from Song Jia.
“It went very smoothly. I’ll be able to leave that dirty place soon. I want to treat you and Bei Mu to a meal to celebrate my freedom. Do you have time?” Lu Zhen was in a good mood and almost wanted to shout at the sky..
