Chapter 354 The Beautiful Professor's Love and Career 17
The three of them arrived at the dessert shop in a relaxed and cheerful mood.
As soon as you open the door, a sweet aroma wafts out, as if the whole world has become sweeter.
The shop is decorated in a warm and inviting style, with soft yellow lighting illuminating every corner, and the exquisite pictures of desserts hanging on the walls make your mouth water.
They found a seat by the window, and Yun Rancang skillfully picked up the menu and ordered the shop's signature cake and several specialty drinks.
Soon after, the waiter came over with an elegant tray and placed the delicious dishes in front of them.
Yun Rancang couldn't wait to pick up the small spoon, scoop out a big bite of cake and put it in her mouth. The sweet taste instantly bloomed on her taste buds.
She squinted her eyes contentedly, a blissful smile spreading across her face, an expression that seemed to tell the whole world that this was her happiest moment.
"It's so delicious! Bro, you should try some too, the texture is absolutely amazing!"
As she spoke, she enthusiastically handed the cake to Yun Suisi.
Yun Suisi smiled as she accepted the cake from her sister and took a small bite.
The delicate texture and rich sweetness made him nod slightly in approval.
"It's really good, no wonder you like it so much."
Watching his younger sister eat with relish, his heart was filled with satisfaction and happiness.
Jun Sui also took a small bite of the cake and said with a smile:
"This taste is truly unique. I'm really lucky to have discovered such a hidden gem of a dessert shop today."
His words carried a hint of ease and joy, a stark contrast to his usual serious demeanor in court.
Yun Rancang looked at Jun Sui, his eyes filled with barely concealed curiosity, and finally couldn't help but ask:
"Mr. Jun, I have long heard about your style of doing things."
In the past, when you were involved in lawsuits, you were known for your decisive and efficient actions. Your words were as sharp as a drawn blade, capable of refuting the opponent's arguments into pieces.
But this time... I don't know if it's just my imagination, but why does it feel so different from before?
Jun Sui gently set down the still-steaming coffee cup in his hand, his movements elegant and composed. His gaze, deep and penetrating, fixed on Yun Rancang, and he asked in return:
"Ran Cang, so what do you think of my performance in court this time?"
Yun Rancang narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then carefully chose his words:
"Your performance this time was direct yet extremely powerful."
Every argument presented and every piece of evidence displayed was delivered with a solid and well-paced approach, leaving the opponent no chance to retaliate.
However, this is quite different from your previous style, and I really can't figure it out.
Jun Sui's lips curled slightly upward, revealing a faint smile, but that smile carried a hint of barely perceptible helplessness. He sighed softly and said:
"Yes, I really don't dare to gamble this time."
"Afraid to gamble? What does that mean?"
Yun Rancang looked puzzled and paused for a moment, repeating Jun Sui's words with a questioning look in his eyes.
Jun Sui's gaze instantly turned serious, and he explained solemnly:
"Ran Cang, as you know, the prejudice against beta in this society is deeply rooted."
Subconsciously, people's first reaction is always involuntarily biased towards alpha.
Once a dispute arises involving beta versus alpha, it becomes very difficult to maintain balance.
If I continue to use overly strong language as I have in the past, I am likely to provoke the ire of the judge and jury.
In their minds, a beta might feel that a beta shouldn't be so aggressive and shouldn't break their established 'rules'.
This could backfire and negatively impact the final verdict.
Yun Suisi, who had been listening quietly, frowned slightly upon hearing this and couldn't help but interject:
"So... after careful consideration, you ultimately chose this gentle yet powerful approach?"
Jun Sui nodded solemnly, his tone carrying a hint of cold determination:
"That's right. Every detail in this lawsuit is crucial, and I must ensure that every step is flawless, leaving the other side no opportunity to exploit."
Only in this way can Ran Cang receive a fair judgment. This is a defense of legal justice and my duty as a lawyer.
Hearing Jun Sui's words, Yun Rancang was deeply moved. He slowly lowered his head, his voice choked with emotion, and said with deep gratitude:
"Mr. Jun, thank you so much... I don't know how to repay you."
Jun Sui gently patted Yun Rancang's shoulder, his tone mild:
"Ran Cang, you really don't need to thank me."
This is what I should do as your lawyer.
Besides, you've already been treated unfairly, and you absolutely deserve this all-out protection. I was just doing what I was supposed to do.
Yun Sui looked at Jun Sui, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes—gratitude, admiration, and a touch of relief—and said sincerely:
"Jun Sui, thank you."
If it weren't for you, Ran Cang might still be struggling and enduring those unfair treatments.
You've done us a huge favor; we'll always remember your kindness.
Jun Sui smiled, his tone relaxed, as if it were just a trivial matter:
“Sui Si, please don’t say that.”
This is all part of my job. Any lawyer with a conscience would have done the same in my position.
Yun Suisi shook his head slightly and said seriously:
"Jun Sui, you don't need to be so modest."
In this day and age, there are very few people willing to stand up for beta, let alone someone as dedicated as you.
Jun Sui remained calm, his gaze resolute.
“Prejudice should not be an obstacle to justice. As a legal professional, I am simply upholding my professional ethics.”
If even I were to abandon this situation, how could I possibly live up to this responsibility?
Seeing Jun Sui's performance, Yun Ran Cang was genuinely happy for her brother.
……
The days after winning the case in court should have been filled with sunshine and hope.
However, Yun Rancang seemed to have vanished into thin air, disappearing completely from everyone's lives without leaving a trace.
Yun Suisi stood alone by the laboratory window. The world outside was still bustling with traffic and people, but his mind was not on the lively scene at all.
He gripped his phone tightly in his hand, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the screen, which displayed the last unread message from Yun Rancang:
"Brother, I have something to take care of, don't worry."
This brief message, however, felt like a heavy stone weighing on his heart.
Where exactly did Ran Cang go?
Yun Suisi muttered to himself, his brows furrowed, his face filled with anxiety and worry.
He had lost count of how many times he had dialed Yun Rancang's number and sent him messages, but each time he received only endless silence and that agonizing notification tone.
Just then, Jun Sui gently pushed open the door and walked in.
As soon as he entered, he keenly sensed the oppressive atmosphere in the room. Seeing Yun Suisi's distraught appearance, he couldn't help but ask with concern:
"Sui Si, what's wrong? You look like something happened."
Upon hearing the sound, Yun Suisi slowly turned around, his voice filled with barely concealed anxiety:
"Jun Sui, Ran Cang has disappeared."
I tried everything to contact her, but she wouldn't answer the phone or reply to messages. I had absolutely no idea where she went.
As he spoke, he waved his phone in his hand, as if that would attract Yun Rancang's attention and get her response.
Upon hearing this, Jun Sui's brows furrowed instantly, and his expression turned serious:
"Did she tell you anything beforehand? Like what she was going to do, or who she was going to meet?"
Yun Suisi shook his head helplessly, his eyes filled with disappointment:
"No, she only sent that one message saying she had something to take care of and told me not to worry."
But it's been a full two weeks, and there's still no news. How can I not be worried?
