Chapter 767: How Much Was Yan Huan’s Life Worth?
“Miss Luo, are you home? I am Lawyer Bai. I am the lawyer representing Miss Lin Shanshan. We have discussed this matter through the phone.”
Yan Huan started to feel annoyed upon hearing that familiar voice yet again.
I told you. I will not withdraw my lawsuit. I will definitely sue her.
Yan Huan put down the cup. Then, she ran a hand through her hair. At the same time, she used her fingers to brush her hair as it seemed to be slightly tangled. I should just cut it. I’ve permed and dyed my hair too many times, it is no longer manageable.
“Miss Luo, I think that it is necessary for us to discuss this matter.”
Yan Huan picked up the cup again and called out, “Oh, fine. We shall discuss it then.”
“Hold on.” She held her cup up and filled it with more water. Then, she sat down and drank it in small sips. After she finished drinking, she took out her makeup, gave herself a perfect makeover, and did her hair again. The woman in the mirror was a reflection of how she was in daily life- refined, perfect, elegant, and benevolent.
Yan Huan had always acknowledged that her face was gorgeous, feeling thankful to her mother for passing it down to her. Despite not knowing who her father was, Yan Huan was still grateful that her mother gave birth to her. Her mother had bestowed upon Yan Huan the gift of life. With this one life, she had gone through two different lifetimes, even though they were not exactly perfect.
‘It did not matter how long it lasted, it was the time we shared that really mattered.’ The phrase was nothing but a lie.
She gently let out a sigh, exhaling all the resentment that she had accumulated in her lungs. The visitor standing outside was still waiting for her. At times, he would knock on the door and call for Miss Luo.
Yan Huan walked to the door and opened it with a click.
Lawyer Bai, who had been standing outside, finally let out a sigh of relief. He thought that Luo Lin would give him the cold shoulder for the entire day, but the door finally opened. He had come over here today purposely just to hear Luo Lin’s grand request. His boss had ordered him to fulfill all her demands, no matter what it was, as long as she was satisfied.
“Miss Luo!” he immediately shouted. However, he was instantly stunned when he saw Yan Huan’s face.
This person, why does she look like…
Yan Huan?
Yan Huan opened the door to let Lawyer Bai in. Then, she sat on a chair with a fearsome and imposing aura. In these few years, she had slowly developed great fame for herself despite appearing in only a few works. Previously, she was known as the Goddess Yan but now, everyone would refer to her as Queen Yan.
Furthermore, all her facial expressions and body language was reminiscent of the demeanor of a queen.
Under that title, she would be a queen. However, behind that glamorous title, she would merely be an ordinary woman and a widow who had lost her husband.
Lawyer Bai’s forehead suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
“May I ask if you are…”
“Yan Huan, Miss Yan?”
He really did not want to ask such questions. However, he discovered that he was powerless in the face of this dramatic turn of events.
If this person is Yan Huan, what chances are there left for them? Even if the boss sold all of his possessions, it will still be useless. Look at Yan Huan’s value, her salary for one film, her fee for being an international spokesperson, and also the local box office records. What is the best selling or the second best selling movie? It was all hers.
In the past few years in the entertainment industry, the actress who had everything- fame, fortune, and success- would undeniably be Yan Huan. Her fame and box office records were similarly unparalleled.
Both of them would only rise as time went by.
Lawyer Bai had only just remembered that Luo Lin was Yan Huan’s manager. She was regarded as the best manager in the entertainment industry. The reason he knew this was because he had handled countless lawsuits related to the entertainment industry before.
One may wonder why he did not recognize her in the past. It was simply because he had never met Yan Huan before. He had only listened to her voice but it was difficult to identify her from just her voice. If it was someone familiar, he would have immediately recognized them. However, it would be difficult to discern the voices of strangers.
He realized that Lin Shanshan was done for when he saw Yan Huan. Her entire life was simply doomed.
“What do you think, Mister Bai?” Yan Huan lightly moved her red lips with an air of elegance. The passing of time had given her an increasingly mature personality and a face with astonishingly refined features.
As a 26-year-old woman, she had lost her innocence and gained the charisma of a mature woman.
One could sense the vibe of a young adult woman from Yan Huan as she was currently standing in the grey area between the definition of a teenage girl and a mature woman. She had the youthful energy of a teenage girl, seeming pure and innocent while possessing the charisma of a mature woman. No one could simply compare to her.
This would explain why she was beloved by everyone. Yan Huan had a frighteningly massive number of fans and her earnings as an actress were unbelievably sky-high. Lawyer Bai had only watched her on the television but now, he had finally met her in real life.
Normally, he prided himself as a man with thick skin. However, at this moment, Lawyer Bai’s face was flushing all red.
This was because he happened to be a fan of Yan Huan. Furthermore, he was the obsessive type of fan who would be blindly loyal to their own idol.
He did not know what to do at this moment. All he could think about was that he wanted to ask for Yan Huan’s autograph. However, in a split of a second, he managed to regain his composure and remembered his main goal for coming there.
It was not to meet his idol, he was there to negotiate.
“Luo… No, Miss Yan, my client…”
“Lin Shanshan?”
Yan Huan asked indifferently, narrowing her gorgeous eyes. However, the voice that came from her red lips was unusually frigid.
“Yes,” Lawyer Bai nodded. “May I ask if you have any demands? We would… try our best to fulfill it,” he said with difficulty, his entire face burning. How could he say these words? Dealing with this type of matter in the past was not that challenging. Anything that could be resolved would not be such a big matter. The Lin Family had a lot of money and they wanted to protect Lin Shanshan at all costs. Thus, they had to appease people like Yan Huan to keep Lin Shanshan’s record free of any misdemeanors.
As long as these people did not file a lawsuit against Lin Shanshan, it would be easy to deal with other matters in the future. However, they had to deal with two troublesome issues. One remained unresolved, while the other turned out to be Yan Huan.
“Ms. Yan, would it be possible for you to…”
Lawyer Bai felt fairly awkward and diffident while saying it. Out of all the people in the world, why did involve Yan Huan in a car accident?
“Miss Lin is still young, being only twenty one years old. If she really went to jail, her entire life will be ruined.”
“One is already an adult at 18 years old, Mister Bai.” Yan Huan reminded Lawyer Bai, “You are a lawyer. You should know the law well, better than me and everyone else. In ancient times, one would pay their debt with money and murderers would pay with their lives.”
“Lin Shanshan did not only kill one person. She killed two people and injured many others. I am lucky as I only suffered minor injuries from it. I would like to ask…” The smile on her red lips was not only exceedingly mesmerizing but also freezing cold.
“I would like to consult you, Lawyer Bai. How much will the Lin family compensate me if she killed me in the crash? How much is my life worth?”
