Quick Transmigration: She's a Heartbreaker: Ch 74, Living Together With a Pampered Ex-Girlfriend The front desk thought for a while and simply found a female assistant to receive Jiang Xun. The female assistant was a new intern from the firm that just recently graduated from school. Seeing Jiang Xun, she was amazed and thought in her heart: This girl is way too good-looking. The female assistant took Jiang Xun to the waiting room to sit down, and poured her a glass of water, "Little Sister, what lawsuit do you want to fight? Where’s your family’s adults?" "Older Sister, I want to file a real estate dispute lawsuit." Jiang Xun's voice was so sweet and soft that this ‘Older Sister’ tugged at the female assistant’s heart. The female assistant froze and then said, "Why don’t you tell me about the situation?" Jiang Xun explained how her uncle and aunt were occupying her house, keeping the money her parents left for her and her brother along with not letting her go to school. Hearing this, the female assistant immediately exclaimed indignantly, "How could there be such people? This is simply too much." "Older Sister, can you help me get the house back? And my family's money." Jiang Xun looked at her expectantly. The female assistant was stunned. Like the front desk, she thought Jiang Xun wouldn’t have any big business here due to her young age and was going to half-heartedly her then let her go find an adult. However, she didn't expect Jiang Xun's parents to be both dead. The female assistant was distressed and angry as well as a little embarrassed. After all, she was just an intern and couldn't handle this kind of lawsuit alone. She blinked awkwardly, "Little Sister, you wait a minute, I'll go call my boss." Jiang Xun didn’t ask why she was looking for someone else, but nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you, Older Sister." Seeing how behaved she was, the female assistant liked her even more, "You’re welcome. Just hang on real quick, our boss happened to be at the company today, but he might have to head out later. I'll go check if he has left yet." The female assistant ran out anxiously once she finished speaking. Jiang Xun didn't hold too much hope. Since she didn't understand the law, she only wanted to find a lawyer and ask what to do in this situation. However, it would be better if she could find a lawyer willing to take over her case today. After a while, the female assistant returned. When she came back, her face wasn’t so good like she had been scolded. She apologized to Jiang Xun, "Sorry to make you wait for me this long. I’ll help you find another lawyer that also specializes in real estate disputes." The female assistant was only a small intern who wasn’t taken seriously to be with since she had just joined the company. Just now, she foolishly went to a gold-level lawyer and explained Jiang Xun’s situation. Yet, she was scolded for bringing such a small case to him before getting told to find any other lawyer for it and stop wasting his time. Only then did the female assistant slink back. "It’s okay, any will do." Jiang Xun nodded and said with a smile. Jiang Xun's soft and quiet appearance made the female assistant feel even worse. She felt she just had to help her with her being so pitiful at such a young age and still so behaved. But when she went to find some other lawyer, everyone was busy. After hearing what she said, they didn’t want to take this case. Their firm was very well-known in the industry and all took big cases. They say with a small case like Jiang Xun’s, it would be fine if she just finds an ordinary firm. Plus, it’ll be cheap too. There was no need to come to them and ask the female assistant to tell her to go to another law firm. The female assistant had no choice but to tell Jiang Xun, "We don't have a lawyer available for the time being. How about I take you to another law firm, there is one across the street, which isn’t bad either." Jiang Xun was a sensitive person and knew the real reason after thinking about it. It was also her fault that she came here without thinking clearly. If it weren’t for this older sister being so kind, any other person would have rushed her out once they listened to her situation. "En, okay. "Jiang Xun stood up and prepared to head out. When the female assistant escorted her out, she told her some legal knowledge she knew, so that she wouldn’t be deceived by her uncle and aunt. When the two were talking, they didn't pay much attention on the road ahead, so she ran into someone by the door. Jiang Xun was originally thin and weak. After that violent bump, she almost fell but was fortunately supported by someone. "Are you okay?" Jiang Xun glanced up and saw it was a mature man in a suit and tie. He appeared extremely handsome, but he should already be thirty or forty years old. Looking at him, Jiang Xun didn't know why he felt so familiar. With her unforgettable memory, if she saw him, she would definitely not forget it. She was sure that she had seen this person in the original owner’s memories. Moreover, when the other party saw her, he obviously froze as if he knew her. Jiang Xun locked eyes with him as she heard the female assistant call out, "Boss, you’re back." "This is?" The man dubbed as Lawyer Gu asked the female assistant. "She’s a client who came for consultation and wants to hire a lawyer, but the firm didn’t have any lawyer who doesn’t have a case on hand, so… …" The female assistant held back. Jiang Xun finally recalled who he was. She had seen this man in the photo album at home. He was a college classmate of the original owner's mother and might even have been with the original owner's mother. The original owner once heard her parents mention this man, saying that they hadn’t contacted each other in years and believed his surname was Gu. The man still seemed quite similar to the picture, but after more than ten years, the changes weren’t small either. He has matured and his fashion style was completely different. If it weren't for Jiang Xun's good memory, she’s afraid she wouldn’t have remembered him. "What's your name?" The man asked, furrowing his brows. Since the original owner looks very similar to her mother when she was young, she should have been recognized. Jiang Xun replied, "My name is Jiang Xun." "Surnamed Jiang, is your mother's surname Han?" The man exclaimed in surprise. "Yes, you knew my mother?" Jiang Xun also revealed a surprised expression. "My mother and I are old classmates. What are you doing looking for a lawyer, where are your parents?" ... Half an hour later, in Gu Qiao's office. After hearing what Jiang Xun said, Gu Qiao's face was solemn. He didn’t expect that Jiang Xun's parents had passed away for almost a year. Jiang Xun's mother, Han Luo Zhi, was his first love and girlfriend. The two dated for two years when they were in college, but later, because his family didn’t agree to them being together no matter what. Although they persisted for half a year, they still broke up in the end. After the breakup, he went abroad to study. When he returned, there was no news of Jiang Xun’s mother. He only heard that she was married to a man named Jiang. Later on, he also married. He always felt very rueful towards Jiang Xun's mother and also wondered when they could meet again to make up for her. However, he didn't expect when he heard about her again, they would be forever separated. Looking at Jiang Xun, who is eighty or ninety percent similar to his first love girlfriend, Gu Qiao felt incredibly uncomfortable. Han Luo Zhi can be said to be an extremely important presence in his heart. Although almost twenty years have passed, those memories were still sealed in a corner of his heart. "Don't worry, I’ll help you get back what you guys deserve and won't let you and your brother be wronged." Gu Qiao stated firmly. "Really? Thank you, Uncle Gu." Jiang Xun's eyes flashed with joy. The corners of her eyes were slightly red, as if moved and sad. Just now the assistant called him Boss, it seems that this firm was opened by him. Therefore, it shouldn't be difficult for Jiang Xun to get the property and money back. "No need to thank me, this is something Uncle should do." Gu Qiao lamented. Jiang Xun was about the same age as his son, yet she has lost her parents and even has to take care of her young brother while encountering those conscienceless relatives. She was really pitiful. "Uncle Gu, then I'll head back first/ My brother is still waiting for me at home." Jiang Xun whispered. "No hurry, I'll drive you." Gu Qiao stood up. "It’s okay, you’re still busy. I can go back by myself." "It's fine, it won't take much time to drop you off." Gu Qiao waved his hand. Jiang Xun nodded, "En, thank you, Uncle Gu." "This kid, you don’t need to be so polite." Gu Qiao said gently. ... Gu Qiao’s car was a Land Rover. After Jiang Xun got in the car, she sat in a very upright manner like how she was in the office just now. Noticing her cautious appearance, Gu Qiao felt even more distressed that she lost her parents at such a young age. Seeing she didn’t like to talk much, he took the initiative to talk to her. "How old are you?" "I’ll be eighteen in a few days." Jiang Xun said with her eyes down. "En, when you become a legal adult, you’ll become your own guardian and your brother's guardianship can also be transferred under your name." Gu Qiao pointed out. "En." "Are you still in high school? Or are you going to college this year?" Gu Qiao asked again. "Last year, I took a one-year off, so I haven't finished high school yet." Jiang Xun said, dejected. Gu Qiao paused, knowing he had reminded Jiang Xun of something upsetting, and felt guilty. He quickly changed the subject, "Which school were you at before? School should be starting soon, right?" "I was at First Experimental High School. My uncle and aunt said that I wasn’t allowed to go back, and school’s about to start, but I still haven’t registered yet. Plus, after taking time off school, I still have to take the entrance exam. Since I couldn't do it alone, I wanted to take back the money left by my parents and go sign up by myself." Jiang Xun's voice was very soft and helpless, making her seem rather pitiful. "This... … they’re not even allowing you to continue high school! How could they be like this? What do they want you to do if not high school?" She didn't go into detail in the office before, so Gu Qiao was furious when he heard this now. "They want me to go to nursing vocational school to study as a nurse." Jiang Xun whispered. "What?" Gu Qiao was startled, "Is that the kind of school you can go to?! Your uncle and aunt are simply outrageous." Jiang Xun bowed her head without saying a word, looking a bit pitiful. "Don't worry, Uncle will help you. I’ll make sure you can head back to school." "But registration will start in just a few days. Uncle Gu, can my parents’ money come back this quickly?" Gu Qiao paused. Of course, it was impossible. There’s no way it’ll be that fast. If what Jiang Xun said was true, it would be impossible for her uncle and aunt to spit out the money without legal proceedings. Since Gu Qiao opened the law firm, he has seen many strange relatives in the past few years and knew that these kinds of people won’t shed tears without seeing the coffin. "You don't need to worry, Uncle will take you to the school to register." For Gu Qiao, these were all trivial matters. He made up his mind to help Jiang Xun all the way to the end. "En! Thank you, Uncle Gu." Jiang Xun was a little emotional. She suppressed her inner ecstasy and looked at him gratefully. "Don’t be so polite, you’re the same age as my son. He’s also eighteen years old and from the same school as you, but he was admitted to a university this year. Otherwise he can also take care of you." Gu Qiao said, "Oh yeah, you’re only in your senior year of high school because you took a year off. Then you should be in the same grade as him before. Maybe you even knew him." Jiang Xun blinked and suddenly thought of something. "His name is Gu Ze, do you know him?" The author has something to say: Aunt: Where’s the money I put in the Toad's mouth? Jiang Xun: Maybe it was swallowed by the toad. Jiang Jing: En, the toad probably secretly ate it!
