Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Negotiating in Person

After all, when Jian Shengli slandered her, he was not the slightest bit merciful.

The court on that side worked efficiently as well, resolving this minor case quickly with the investigation result confirming that all of Lin Zhi’s money was legally obtained, and not provided by a sponsor.

Of course, Ji Feifan had played a significant role in this; he had provided the court lots of evidence of Lin Zhi’s legal income.

So, the slander by Jian Shengli against Lin Zhi was established. He was indeed defaming her.

Lin Zhi demanded that Jian Shengli publicly apologize to her and admit that he was deliberately smearing her. This was tantamount to making Jian Shengli slap his own face, tarnishing his own reputation.

Jian Shengli, however, was a high-achieving medical student with plans to go abroad for further prestigious education. With this stain, no respectable school would accept him, and he might even be unable to survive in his future career.

His family would also be shamed by association.

Therefore, how could Jian Shengli possibly make a public apology, let alone admit that he was smearing Lin Zhi?

Jian Shengli’s father, upon learning of this matter, also supported his son’s view. His son absolutely could not bear this stain!

Jian Shengli’s father was the owner of a pharmacy and had certain financial power. He believed that there was no problem money couldn’t solve.

He found Lin Zhi’s home address from the school and personally went to negotiate with gifts in hand.

When he arrived, Lin Zhi’s mother was at home. Lin Zhi received a call from her mother and quickly rushed back.

She thought Jian Shengli’s father had come to apologize, but surprisingly, he had not a shred of sincerity in apologizing.

Upon seeing her, Jian Xun felt even more disdain.

Lin Zhi appeared to him as a naive young girl just out of university, posing no threat whatsoever.

He didn’t plan to waste much words with her, but still, he kept a false smile on his face for appearances.

"So, this is Lin Zhi, indeed very pretty. No wonder she attracts so many boys," he said with a smile upon seeing Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi felt somewhat uncomfortable hearing this; how did he know that many people liked her?

His words obviously framed her as someone prone to provoke romantic troubles right from the start.

Although she indeed tended to attract some undesirable admirers...

Lin Huizhen, unaware of the other party’s intentions, politely said, "Lin Zhi, this is your classmate’s father, say hello."

"Mr. Jian, hello," Lin Zhi obediently said.

Lin Huizhen was momentarily stunned, as she had intended for Lin Zhi to call him ’uncle,’ but this form of address seemed not incorrect...

Jian Xun laughed, "Look at this girl, her mind is too lively, intentionally calling me ’Mr. Jian,’ why be so formal, just call me ’uncle.’"

"This child is a bit na\uEFve; please don’t mind it. By the way, did you need to see her for something?" Lin Huizhen asked warmly, smiling.

Jian Xun laughed, "It’s nothing much really, just that my foolish son unintentionally upset your daughter. Then, some misunderstandings and conflicts arose between them, and I especially came to mediate, also hoping that niece Lin won’t take it too hard on him."

Listen to how pleasant he made that sound.

Yet, the truth was he was intentionally trivializing the incident.

One uninformed would think she and Jian Xun were discussing a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, and that she was merely being capricious.

Indeed, Lin Huizhen just misunderstood it that way.

She glanced at Lin Zhi and said to Jian Xun, "It’s normal for young kids to have some conflicts, why bother coming in person."
