Chapter 3

Fu Zhuo couldn’t resist mourning for himself. At this point, he could only place his hopes on Lawyer Xi, hoping that the man could be of some help!

Civil Affairs Bureau, a comparatively quiet reception room on the second floor.

Lawyer Xi was pulling out all the stops, hoping to discourage Ye Xingguang.

“Miss Ye, I am Mr. Ye’s lawyer, my surname is Xi. In regards to your lottery draw with Mr. Ye, I’m fully responsible.”

“First of all, let me inform you about Mr. Ye’s situation. Even though he’s currently single, Miss Xia Yanyan will soon become his fiancée. However, the Civil Affairs Bureau, unaware of these circumstances, has randomly selected him due to his upcoming bachelor tax.”

“I believe, without even needing me to tell you, you would know who Miss Xia Yanyan is, wouldn’t you? I also believe that given Xia Yanyan’s special status in Country A, you wouldn’t dare to overstep your bounds and take away her betrothed, right?”

On the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau, he had already received a call from Miss Xia Yanyan, instructing him to, by any means, settle this matter with Ye Xingguang.

Miss Xia said that there isn’t a girl in the world who would dare to take away her man, and if necessary, he could use her name without hesitation.

Lawyer Xi also believed that taking on Miss Xia meant courting disaster, and should one offend her, they could face the wrath of the netizens, enough to virtually kill her.

In Country A, Miss Xia Yanyan is indeed widely adored.

Years ago, scientific researchers in Country A discovered a mermaid fossil. They ambitiously launched a mermaid transformation project, aiming to extract mermaid genes from the fossils and inject them into human embryos, hoping to produce a beautiful mermaid, a species long thought to be extinct.

This project required numerous sacrifices, but finally, Miss Xia was born, a globally acclaimed and unique mermaid. Her body could transform into a beautiful mermaid with a tail when in water, and when out of water, she had normal human legs, it was simply miraculous.

The moment of her birth made Miss Xia a national treasure.

Now, Miss Xia’s name is consistently at the top of the “Country A’s Most Desired Women List.”

Any girl who coincidentally drew Mr. Ye’s lottery should know when to fold.

“Miss Ye, the best course of action now is for you to voluntarily pay a penalty and refuse this official matchmaking, then redraw. Rest assured, Mr. Ye will pay the penalty you have been fined, and in addition, Mr. Ye would also offer you a compensation sum of one million, what do you say?”

Ye Xingguang wanted to laugh after hearing this. Originally, she regretted having drawn Ye Junqing and was quite willing to find a way to break the official match, but…

What did Lawyer Xi mean by using Xia Yanyan to scare her?

She hadn’t forgotten what the employees had said earlier; refusing the official match would result in losing political rights for life, inability to apply for loans, participate in elections, take high-speed rails and flights, and it would even affect her credit score…

Ye Xingguang propped herself on the couch inside the reception room, lazily throwing her legs over the armrest: “Are you sure this is the best solution? It seems so troublesome to me. Since Mr. Ye is wealthy, why doesn’t he pay the penalty himself?”

How could Mr. Ye be the one to pay the penalty?

Miss Xia Yanyan had strictly instructed him that the person who must actively decline the matchmaking could only be Miss Ye!

Lawyer Xi was resolute and would not tolerate being bargained with by this unknown entity: “Miss Ye, the one who must voluntarily reject the official matchmaking can only be you. If you feel that the compensation sum of a million isn’t enough, you can name your price.”

“That’s not the issue here.” Ye Xingguang flatly refused.

“Then what is the problem? You surely don’t believe that with a slightly pretty face, you can match oneself up with Miss Xia, do you? We’ve already investigated your family situation. The daughter of a remote island fisherman, compared with Miss Xia, is like comparing heaven and earth!”
