Stealing Your Heart

When the woman began to stammer, her son soon tugged at her arm and interrupted, “Allow me to inform Mr. Su of our decision.”

Su Zhan momentarily shifted his gaze toward him.

“We’re here to tell you that we’ve decided not to proceed with the litigation. We don’t want to sue them anymore,” her son explained.

“May I know the reason for your decision?” Su Zhan couldn’t understand it, seeing as they had been rather enraged in the past. In addition to that, they were determined to seek justice for the deceased, even if it meant that they would lose everything. Why have they changed their minds all of a sudden?

“There is no specific reason to it. We just don’t want to pursue the matter anymore.” He pulled his mother in an effort to leave the neighborhood once he finished.

Su Zhan stood still and thought about it. He surmised that they had probably decided as such due to the pressure that they had received from the Lu family. Although the other lawyers in his firm had advised him against it, Su Zhan insisted on taking the case, so as to provide them assistance. Nevertheless, they chose to back down even before he had.

Taking a few strides in the opposite direction, the woman soon stopped her son and returned, making an effort to bow before Su Zhan. “I’d like to thank you, for agreeing to take our case. Many people have avoided us, afraid that trouble would befall them if they ventured too close. Nevertheless, you were different from the rest. You hadn’t! We have decided not to sue them anymore and I can assure you that it’s not for the mere reason that our grievances have faded away. Rather, we have to survive, or our futures will be destroyed by them.”

As the woman spoke, tears streamed down her face. She recalled the day when her daughter had first married into the Lu family. Coming from an ordinary family, her daughter was only able to marry into the family for the mere reason of her striking appearance.

Eventually, the Lu family was aware that the mother had wished to bring about a lawsuit against them. Hence, they targeted her family by causing her son and daughter-in-law to lose their jobs.

“We can’t afford to offend the Lu family. Adults like us can still bear hardships. We’re able to cast our dignity aside. Unfortunately, my grandson is still young. He has to go to school to have a bright future. I can’t ignore the well-being of my living family members for the deceased. That’s why we’ve decided not to sue them.” Upon wiping away her tears, the woman glanced up at Su Zhan and uttered, “Nonetheless, we’d still like to express our gratitude for your help.”

Knowing that this case was rather difficult, Su Zhan was still willing to accept it, in hopes of helping them. Seeing as such, the woman was very grateful to have had him as her lawyer.
