Too Bad I Take Things Seriously-Chapter 594 - 231: A Wedding That Rocked the Jin City Legal Community!_3

Qin Mu knew Old Zhang cared a lot about appearances. Especially since the nursing home was covering all the costs for this wedding banquet, Old Zhang probably wished he could invite every stranger off the streets. The problem was... he didn’t actually know many people. His social circle in Jin City seemed rather limited.

"No worries, Xiao Qin, just try your best to invite people. I’ll go find others to liven things up," Zhang Qingyuan said, showing understanding and not making any demands.

Qin Mu gave a wry smile. Afterwards, he took out his phone and sent Qing Lan a message.

"Qing Lan, an old man at the nursing home is getting married—the one I mentioned to you before. Do you have time to come to the wedding? You can also bring any friends you can round up."

Qing Lan was a Jin City local, though she had always lived in Zizhou. He didn’t know many people himself, so he had to rely on others to extend invitations.

A few minutes later, Qing Lan sent back a few question marks, clearly puzzled. "What’s going on?"

Qin Mu sighed and explained, "The elderly residents at the nursing home like it lively; they feel there aren’t enough guests for the wedding."

The most important thing... was that the nursing home was sponsoring the wedding banquet. It was completely free.

A few seconds later, Qing Lan replied, "I probably don’t have time. It’s the end of the month, and I need to make up my live-streaming hours."

These past few days, she had been active on the forums, particularly the Study Law Alliance Forum, interacting with the talented individuals there. She had gained a lot of insight. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"By the way, Up, it seems like... you haven’t updated your videos in over half a month." As they chatted, Qing Lan suddenly threw in this reminder.

In the Jin City Nursing Home, Qin Mu looked at Qing Lan’s message, his mouth twitching. These days, every time he chatted with Qing Lan, she would subtly nudge him for an update.

"I’ll update tonight," he thought for a moment and replied.

Today, the verdict in Feng Cuihua’s abandonment case had been announced. Jiang Daping and his three siblings had received their deserved punishments. Cases of failing to support elderly parents... were actually quite common in society. If children genuinely refused to provide support and communication failed, this was one way to penalize them. A suspended sentence might sound lenient, but it comes with many restrictions. It’s not as simple as one might think.

Looks like Zhang Wei is my only option now, Qin Mu thought. After replying to Qing Lan, he opened Zhang Wei’s contact details and sent him an invitation to Old Zhang’s wedding, scheduled for three days later.

In Jin City, his social connections weren’t actually that extensive. The number of people he was on good terms with could be counted on one hand. Zhang Wei was one of them. Their relationship was a mix of rivalry and friendship; they had known each other for a long time.

「Meanwhile.」

At the Legal Pioneer Law Firm.

In the office, Zhang Wei had just finalized the decision to offer Wang Dachui a high salary. But he then realized... he didn’t have Wang Dachui’s contact information. As he was mulling over what to do, he happened to see the message from Qin Mu.

Getting married? Is the bride still Feng Cuihua? he thought, taken aback for a moment and quite surprised. But he still congratulated Qin Mu promptly, sending a few celebratory stickers and replied, "I’ll definitely be there in three days."

This was the wedding of two people over seventy. It was quite different from any wedding he had attended before. The bride was the mother of Jiang Daping and his siblings. For her to find a new partner despite her children’s unfilial behavior... was truly a stroke of luck.

Moreover, Wang Dachui also worked at the Jin City Nursing Home. He could use this opportunity to extend an offer, inviting Wang Dachui to join his law firm.

However, looking at the last sentence in Qin Mu’s message, he was still a bit confused. Qin Mu wants me... to invite more people? He frowned, unsure what that meant at the moment.

After a while, he analyzed it thoroughly from legal, logical, and moral perspectives. He realized Qin Mu probably meant it literally.

The old man probably likes a lively atmosphere, and there’s no limit on the number of guests... he muttered to himself. Then he opened a Jin City lawyers’ group chat and manually @mentioned everyone, posting a message.

"In three days, a wedding will be held at the Jin City Nursing Home. If you have time, feel free to attend."

The message had not been out for more than a few minutes when it drew responses from a crowd of lawyers.

"Damn! The master himself has surfaced! Since when do they hold weddings in a nursing home? Is the master getting married?"

"Whoa, the actual Zhang Wei! I just realized today that I’m in the same group as Zhang Wei!"

"Why does this nursing home sound so familiar?"

"@Zhang Wei, you’re usually so aloof, never chatting with colleagues in this group. Why the sudden appearance today?"

"..."

His message was like a stone cast into a calm lake, sending ripples throughout the group. All the lawyers in the group emerged, expressing their shock and immense curiosity about this wedding.

Ever since the lawsuit against the entire internet, Zhang Wei’s status in Jin City’s legal circles had skyrocketed. He was now regarded as a master by many junior lawyers. His superb defense skills and numerous landmark cases had greatly enhanced the reputation of the Legal Pioneer Law Firm. These included the case where acting in self-defense leading to a death was ruled not guilty, and the wedding hazing case where his defense secured an acquittal despite one death and four injuries, among others.

It was just that he disliked boasting in the group and rarely made an appearance. This was his first message since joining the group chat.

"It’s a wedding of a friend’s friend. The bride and groom are seniors in their seventies. Oh, and this friend... his name is Qin Mu," Zhang Wei typed, looking at the bustling group chat in his law firm office, offering a brief explanation.

The result... was an even bigger sensation.
