Fighting Is Affection, Scolding Is Love!

New York.

On the Hudson River.

Vance Mout Hotel.

Wedding scene.

"I'll go out with you."

Adam smiled and gestured.

"Please tell Marshall I'm sorry for me."

Gretchen addressed the group of law students.

"Um."

The male law students reacted indifferently, while the female students whispered among themselves and ignored her.

Adam was already about 80-90% certain of his guess.

None of these law students are Zhang Yida.

Law school students emphasize the connection between theory and practice, using real-life cases; not a single student gets sleepy in class.

Because law professors speak so eloquently and recount such vivid and interesting real-life cases that they challenge conventional wisdom.

The future goal of training them is to have them wear Pinru's clothes, have boundless imaginations, and flirtatiously walk the edge of the law.

If you fall asleep in class, what if you end up like Zhang Dapao, who not only ruins his own clients every time, but also starves to death because no one is willing to sue him?

He had already gotten himself in long ago, looking at the group of muscular men behind him, sweating profusely.

Even though they are only second-year graduate students, they all have sharp eyes.

They are no longer afraid to speculate on the worst-case scenario regarding the actions and effects others will take.

To exaggerate a bit, they're all like Batman Dark Knight. In the Batcave's computers, you can't be considered a Xiu'er if you don't have dozens of preset plans to deal with others and your teammates.

Emmm.

It just lacks the option of destroying itself.

Even novelists don't have their wildest imaginations.

Because novelists also need to consider logical consistency.

But this surreal reality, with its countless real yet surreal cases, has provided them with ample material.

Zhou Shuren once praised the East Country novel Dream of the Red Chamber of the Red Chamber, saying that "it is precisely because of its realism that it becomes fresh" and that it has become a timeless masterpiece.

Then there was a certain outlaw who easily gained tens of millions of followers in just a few months.

So, who else is there?

Adam escorted Gretchen out of the hotel, smiling as they walked, "I'm also Columbia University. What year were you in, senior?"

"Class of '98".

Gretchen whispered.

"Oh."

Adam nodded. "She's exactly three years ahead of Marshall. I remember the bar exam is held twice a year. How many times has she taken it since she graduated?"

"... twice, and the third test is coming up soon."

Gretchen trembled. "I wasn't prepared the first two times, but this time I'm really ready. I'm sure I can pass."

I believe it.

Adam smiled noncommittally.

"I really can get through it."

Gretchen didn't dare look Adam in the eye and explained with her head down, "Right now, my mind is full of tort law, real estate law, and the constitution. I just can't concentrate on anything else."

"Understand."

Adam nodded. "But you still need to be more careful in the future, and don't accidentally hurt your hand again. As you know, I'm a medical student."

Your hand was injured before, and it seems like it's been a few months. If I remember correctly, the legal professional qualification exam is held every year in February and July..."

No!

Gretchen suddenly cried out, interrupting Adam: "It's not what you think, you're wrong! I was injured in March!"

"OK".

Adam shrugged and said, "Senior, don't get agitated. I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to say that I understand this feeling. People around you have high expectations of you. If you fail repeatedly, the pressure will be immense, and it will make you want to escape. That's normal."

"You have one too?"

Gretchen looked at Adam in shock.

"Um."

Adam nodded.

In this life, he, who had been given a cheat code, naturally didn't have one.

But in his previous life, Adam had experienced this deeply.

"So how did you do it?"

Gretchen looked at Adam expectantly.

"Adjust your mindset, don't live for other people's opinions, live for yourself."

Adam said earnestly, "Just do your best, don't give up on yourself or hurt yourself, and of course, never hurt others. Do you think Marshall and Lily are a good match?"

"..."

Gretchen's face immediately turned bright red.

Adam was completely certain.

This senior student was under so much pressure from failing the exam several times that she wanted to harm herself as a way to escape.

She also had feelings for Marshall.

Taking advantage of the situation to injure his hand is a win-win situation.

It's unclear whether she didn't want to see Marshall and Lily's sweet wedding and wanted to escape again, or if she was acting maliciously and wanted to disgust Lily.

"I just need a reason."

Gretchen said with shame.

"It's okay."

Adam looked at Gretchen for a while and smiled, "I believe that you will also find your other half."

Once we get past this hurdle, the world will be bathed in sunshine again.

The senior student was able to get into Columbia Law School; she has no shortage of intelligence or anything else. Perhaps the only thing she lacked was the right mindset.

Many people are prone to breakdowns before exams.

The senior student might be one of those types.

If you're really under pressure, just let go and do something else; it's not a big deal.

There are countless paths in the world, and everyone has plenty of choices.

Of course, never take the wrong path that harms yourself or others.

He could tell that this senior student really liked Marshall.

Too.

The future Marshmallow Judge, a loyal and warm-hearted giant, is more than capable.

If it weren't for the fact that she was already committed to Lily, she would still be very sought after.

It would be unreasonable if no one wanted it!

However, Adam also believes that this senior student is not a scheming person who wants to disgust the victor Lily; she is just used to running away and wants to kill two birds with one stone.

She left the wedding that had saddened her, and let everyone witness her 'accidental' injury, all to prepare for avoiding her exams a few weeks later.

If this senior student truly had the mindset of a manipulative woman, she probably would have passed the exam long ago and wouldn't have reacted to Adam's words at all.

Therefore, Adam felt he should patiently persuade him.

His past life experiences and insights, combined with his understanding in this life, have taught him that often, a kind act of kindness can save a life.

If enough people are willing to extend this kindness, then there will be far fewer people who go to extremes.

Because often, all that's needed from people who go to extremes is a slap in the face.

The person who hits the other is so powerful that both the person being hit and the onlookers are deeply moved. That's the true meaning of "a beating is a sign of affection, a scolding is a sign of love"!

"Thank you."

It was only 1999, before toxic motivational quotes were rampant. Gretchen was quite receptive to Adam's ideas and didn't see them as motivational quotes. She was grateful and drank them with gratitude.

Adam caught a glimpse of Lily's high school ex-boyfriend still circling the hotel, trying to sneak in, while the waiter simply followed him closely, resolutely carrying out Adam's instructions to prevent him from getting close to the hotel and ruining the wedding.

"Scooter! Come here!"

Adam beckoned to him.

Scooter didn't want to come over, but the waiter who had been following him had already pushed him over.

"What are you doing?"

"Scooter said reluctantly."

"Do me a favor."

Adam laughed and said, "I'll take my senior to the Medical Center to treat her injuries."

"No need, I can go by myself."

Gretchen said shyly.

"He's fine here too."

Adam laughed and said, "You two can have a good chat about Marshall and Lily; you might have a lot to talk about."

"I..."

Scooter still wanted to resist.

But after just one look from Adam, he immediately obeyed.

He's a funny, silly guy. Even when he came to steal the bride, he had to ask his rival's best man what the steps were: whether to steal the bride before or after the wedding.

Serpentine Movement, cross-eyed, spinning in circles.

They don't seem like they're here to kidnap a bride at all; they seem more like they're here to have some fun.

"All right."

Scooter chickened out.

Adam waved them down a taxi, hailed one for them, and watched them get in and drive away.

These two, one in Lily and the other with Marshall, are neither bad people. Sending Adam away together might just spark some romance.

That would be a good deed.

"Good job. Keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't launch a surprise attack."

Adam gave Franklin a card.

"Yes, sir."

The waiter beamed, "Thank you, sir!"

P. S.: Thank you to Twilight of Leaves and Meng Tai for the donations! I have something to do tonight, so only 2 chapters today. Sorry!
