Seeing this, Paul said somewhat angrily, “Uncle Jimmy, although the Smith Law Firm used the Smith surname as its name, but it was completely founded by my father and my mother’s hard work, and as the only child of the two of them, I have the absolute right to make decisions about this firm, do I still have to go through your consent, Uncle Jimmy, to come to Huaxia? ”
Jimmy immediately said, “Paul, this is a bit too ungrateful of you to say, how Smith Law Firm was founded, you don’t know, can your mother not know? If it wasn’t for your grandfather helping to provide contacts, this law firm would only be a joke! Moreover, Smith’s signboard in the nation’s lawyers’ industry is your grandfather’s effort to fight down, your father and your mother using this name is borrowing the Smith family’s momentum, moreover, this law firm carries the reputation of the entire Smith family, you say take it away, is it appropriate to take it away?”
Paul still wanted to argue with reason, Ye Chen once again stopped him, turned to Jimmy and spoke, “Aren’t you coming to the wedding as half of the maternal family? Why did you mention the ownership of the law firm again? Could it be that you are drunken, coming over to pick a fight is a lie, wanting to walk away from the shares of Smith Law Firm is the real thing?”
Jimmy was asked by Ye Chen to his heart, his face was a bit untenable, and he said forcefully, “Two things are one size fits all, the matter of the shares, is an internal matter of our Smith family, and can be said after the wedding.”
Ye Chen nodded: “Then the main thing is about the wedding, right?”
“Right.”Jimmy took the opportunity to nod his head and said, “My sister-in-law is also the co-founder of the Smith Law Firm anyways, and is worth more than a hundred million dollars now, there’s no problem for her to marry, but if the other party doesn’t have any money or status, isn’t that just a soft eater? Maybe after we get married for a while, the little bit of family property that my brother left to my sister-in-law will all be cheap for him!”
At this time, Han Meicheng and He Yuanjiang, who had been welcoming the guests outside, stopped lending to the commotion inside and hurriedly walked in.
Hearing Jimmy mocking He Yuanjiang for being a soft eater, Han Meiqing angrily rebuked, “Jimmy, if you’re sincere about coming to the wedding, stay, if you’re a drunkard, please get out, I don’t want to talk about the firm’s shareholding and business with you today, if you want to talk about it, wait until tomorrow!”
Jimmy grunted and laughed, “Sister-in-law, you married into our Smith family, our whole family has treated you well, right? Other than that, just the fact that the whole family learnt Chinese for you shows how much we value you, and it’s precisely because we care about you that we’re more concerned about how well you’re doing after your second marriage, and from what I’ve observed now, your future husband is simply incapable of giving you a good material foundation, and maybe he’s even hitting on the idea of the Smiths’ law firm!”
Han Meiqing coldly said, “You don’t stray away from the Smith Law Firm in three sentences, who exactly is hitting the firm’s idea, I don’t need to say that everyone should be able to see it!”
Jimmy immediately said, “Sister-in-law, you just said that we can’t talk about equity and business today, so we can talk about this matter tomorrow.”
“Good!”Han Meiqing immediately said, “Then please don’t judge my husband anymore, we’ve already received a marriage certificate, we’re a legally married couple recognised by Chinese law!”
When Jimmy heard this, he immediately said with some exasperation, “Sister-in-law, shouldn’t you have said hello to us before you got the licence? We certainly respect your marital autonomy, but don’t forget that you still have half of the shares of Smith Law Firm under your name! What if this husband of yours is really a soft eater and misses this half of your shares?”
