Lao Zi From An American School Was Raped By A Mixed-Race Daddy Chapter 33
byChapter 33 Threat The bad cat takes action!
On Wednesday, Ruan Siyu’s shift at the cafe is from 11 am to 5 pm. This period is considered a prime time for selling coffee and desserts. Many office workers from nearby financial institutions and students from schools are willing to come and have a seat.
This cafe is a popular internet shop nearby. It has a retro decoration, and the coffee tastes very good, full of Italian flavor. The tiramisu made by the original owner is also very famous. He also hired several pastry chefs to make the recently popular French sweets, and he has a good grasp of the preferences of young people.
After Chris took over the store, the quality of the coffee was a big question mark, but the desserts and service standards remained unchanged, and it did not have much impact on the business for a while.
When Ruan Siyu arrived at the store, the morning shift barista had already left. Chris turned on the light in the dessert cabinet, and the two of them sorted the beautiful French sweets made in the back kitchen according to color and put them in the freezer.
“So…”
Chris’ eyes glanced at Ruan Siyu again and again, as if he was eager to gossip, but he didn’t want to appear offensive.
“The ‘friend’ who came to take you home last time sent you to work today?”
He said knowingly, Ruan Siyu smiled and said “hmm”, not wanting to talk about this topic, but instead praised Chris’s outfit.
No one can resist being complimented on a well-thought-out look, especially Chris.He immediately talked endlessly about his dressing philosophy, from the second-hand luxury accessories he bought at the New York second-hand market to the tailoring and modification himself. He talked for more than two hours, while Ruan Siyu listened patiently and gave him some professional tips on art design from time to time.
Ruan Siyu has a high level of professionalism and an almost intuitive sense of art and beauty, which makes his works full of sharpness and thrilling beauty.His professionalism was enough to make Chris feel extremely satisfied from the conversation, and he became more and more excited about it.
After agreeing with Chris and his sister’s idea of opening a fashion account on TikTok for the umpteenth time, Ruan Siyu’s eyes moved to the middle-aged woman walking into the coffee shop.
“Welcome, ma’am, how can I help you?”
“Is there any room upstairs?”
The brown-haired woman has obvious Hispanic ancestry. She speaks clearly and her accent is native to Boston. She sounds like a well-educated middle class in the Eastern United States.
“Of course, Dr. Lawrence. There’s always a spot upstairs reserved for you.”
Ruan Siyu said with a smile. His eyes lightly glanced at the name tag on Lawrence’s chest. The other party was a lawyer. It was obvious from her expensive watch and outfit that she was a leader in the industry.
“Do I know you?”
Lawrence was very vigilant, his sharp gaze focused on Ruan Siyu who was wearing work clothes, but Ruan Siyu only smiled back:
“I listened to your lectures on inheritance law in school, Doctor. Of course, even though I just came to work in this coffee shop, how could my boss, Ms. Miles, not talk about you? You two are old friends.”
“Of course.”
Lawrence’s expression relaxed: “I didn’t expect the new clerk to know this. A cup of cappuccino, a cup of espresso, and a piece of tiramisu, thank you.”
“Total 44.89 dollars, card or cash?”
Lawrence swiped his card and followed the steps to the second floor.The second floor is a more private space, separated by green plants and bookshelves. The light is not that good, and the street view can only be seen through the windows of old buildings in Boston.It’s a bit boring for lively college students and young people, but it’s just right for some middle-aged people taking a break from work.
“I’m going up to deliver food to her. It may take a while. Boss, please take care of the cashier.”
“Okay, okay.”
Chris nodded, took over the cashier’s work, and watched Ruan Siyu pick up the dinner plate and go upstairs.Chris hesitantly put his left hand into his pocket and fumbled for his cell phone for a long time, but he didn’t think he should tip off the news.
The tyrant wants him to report all the abnormal movements of Ruan Siyu, does this count?

After Ruan Siyu put down the tray, she looked at the woman on the phone quietly for a while.
When a woman is in her fifties, it is the golden age of her career for the lawyer industry.She spoke quickly on the phone, but her voice was neither high nor low, showing her decisiveness without being overbearing.
She is not a criminal defense lawyer. Most of the time, she only serves plutocrats and legal persons. She often moves among rich and powerful people, and she has a temperament that is neither humble nor overbearing.Even if she is sitting in this cafe drinking coffee, her elitist demeanor is not compromised at all.
“Your order has arrived.”
Ruan Siyu said and sat down opposite Lawrence.The light from the window shone in from behind him, softening the shadows on his face.
Lawrence looked at him in surprise, frowning slightly, but due to the progress of the call, he could only say sorry to the other party, and then press the mute button:
“What’s the matter?”
She asked Ruan Siyu, and Ruan Siyu smiled unhurriedly and said politely:
“You may want to hang up the phone completely and not keep the customer waiting.”
The frown between Lawrence’s brows deepened, deeply offended.She has long since become a well-known private lawyer. Her studio has some cooperation with major financial groups in the industry and is worth hundreds of millions.She began to regret that she still maintained the “civilian” habit of going to the coffee shop next to the school. Even though it was very low-key, she still occasionally attracted some unscrupulous people.
She said a few words to the other side of the phone, hung up the phone, and said to Ruan Siyu with a frown:
“This is the cafe of an old friend of mine. I don’t want to cause too much trouble, but if you continue to harass me, I will call the police. You are Chinese. No matter whether your identity is legal or not, it is always difficult to go through the process with law enforcement agencies.”
She stated the facts and started packing up her phone, computer, and a book she had just pulled out.She wasn’t going to touch coffee or snacks, and her interest today was gone.
“Ms. Miles has turned the cafe over to someone else.”
Ruan Siyu said, not caring about Lawrence’s threat at all: “But I am very lucky that I still met you through this store. More than 20 years ago, I think my father and you also met in this store, right?”
Lawrence paused and slowly put her hands back on the wooden coffee table. Her dark and deep eyes looked at Ruan Siyu carefully, as sharp as an eagle:
“Do I know you?”
She asked in a different way, and Ruan Siyu smiled slightly and shook her head:
“I don’t think you know me. When my father and you were acquainted, I had been staying at the Ferens family. Later, when my father transferred his property and returned to China, you also ‘interrupted’ the apparent cooperation with him.”
Lawrence’s face changed slightly, and Ruan Siyu continued:
“But I know that you have been his personal attorney and hold the keys to his cryptocurrency and private collection.”
“I don’t know what you are talking about, Mr. Ruan.” Lawrence said quickly:
“My cooperation with your father has ended a long time ago. I don’t know the keys and assets you mentioned. His property has been liquidated and the portion that can be inherited has been taken over by the Ferens family’s lawyers. If there are any problems with your father’s assets, you can contact the relevant lawyers, but unfortunately, I don’t have the help you need.”
There was a decent and pitiful smile on her face, without any irony, as if she was just looking at a desperate child who dreamed of wealth coming from heaven.She put her things back into her bag. Before she stood up, Ruan Siyu said softly:
“You are a property lawyer, and you are much more professional than me in this regard. Logically speaking, it is the Ferens family who should deal with you, but it is a pity that they used to have a large business and did not care about my father’s private collection, which is not on the table. After all, there are too many fake paintings. He is a foreigner who knows nothing and has been deceived more than once or twice at the auction.”
“But there has been a big deal in Ference recently. Have you seen the news? The stock price has been falling all the way, and the company has been hit hard with topics related to innovative drugs. Fuze Pharmaceutical’s top management is going to reorganize its assets, and all major shareholders are starting to fly to the West Coast.”
“The Ferens family is bankrupt and full of stigma. If you say they are going to collapse, that is impossible. The plutocrats are deeply entrenched. Even if they declare bankruptcy and the US government spends money to rescue companies and unemployed employees, do you think they will still think that one or two authentic paintings mixed in a bunch of fake paintings are insignificant?”
“Perhaps they still don’t care. After all, it’s not that they don’t have any famous paintings, but they have too many.”
Ruan Siyu held her chin up and thought about it thoughtfully:
“But Ferens hates being deceived and deceived the most. The richer he is, the more he cares about small money. You also know Ferens. Do you think I am right?”
The ease had disappeared from Lawrence’s face.She stared at Ruan Siyu, assessing him with her eyes, but still did not show any embarrassment or panic.
She is a lawyer. In this rule system, she is difficult to deal with. She is far more experienced and confident than Ruan Siyu.
“Your father did not have a clear will.”
She said slowly, as if trying to persuade a stubborn child:
“I don’t know the composition of his property in China, but in the United States, his assets were divided when he divorced Evelyn Ferens, without any omissions or negligence. You can find the original legal documents through the Ferens family’s lawyer, and I can also give you a copy. He only took away some shares, and later sold the shares.”
“I don’t know where you got the information from, thinking that I hold an inheritance that you don’t know about – the child, everything has been divided up, Ference has no objection to this.”
She stood up, looked at Ruan Siyu condescendingly, and just before she turned to leave, the boy sitting with the backlight spoke:
“Whether it’s done cleanly or not, it doesn’t matter what I said, nor does it matter what you said, doctor. Do you think Ference would want to know about the existence of those encrypted accounts and the paintings in the safe?”
At this point, Lawrence still looked unmoved.She had been a dominant player in the industry for many years and could not be frightened by a word or two. But soon, her cell phone started ringing frequently, causing her heart to skip a beat.
She looked down at the phone screen, and a drop of cold sweat flowed down her forehead.
“oops. Did they contact you?”
She turned back suddenly, and happened to see the young man in the backlight smiling evilly, with a bloodthirsty scratch on his beautiful and picturesque face, which was shocking.
