Lin Zhixing always knew that her boyfriend's uncle, He Yanchen, was cold-hearted and unapproachable. She had heard that the man was noble, self-controlled, and did not associate with women.
..."Oh, he..."
Wang Xue subconsciously wanted to refute, but when she realized what the man said, she stood still and turned around to look at the man with horror.
Shi Nanzhou pulled his sleeve out from between the woman's two fingers and said:
"You can't avoid the pressure to get married. You'll still have to see him after you take your seat before the ceremony begins. Even if you leave today, do you really plan to call your father uncle for the rest of your life?"
Wang Xue blinked, feeling as if her brain couldn't think at all.
She looked Shi Nanzhou up and down and asked, "Could it be that He Yanchen asked you to seduce me and then try to get me to lobby for him?"
“…”
Shi Nanzhou had a speechless expression on his face.
Wang Xue knew she was wrong, so she guessed again, "So you're attracted to me?"
Shi Nanzhou's expression remained unchanged. "I don't like looking for colleagues in the same field, especially those handling marriage lawsuits. I've seen too many of them, and it's too tiring to scheme against each other."
Wang Xue agreed with this.
As a marriage lawyer, only a small part of her job is to help others draft prenuptial agreements.
I mostly help others with their divorce cases.
I've seen all sorts of weird things in so many lawsuits.
Those who transfer all the property under their name before marriage, do not give any money to their spouse, and even give their spouse some money are considered people with conscience.
I signed a loan agreement with my parents and asked my ex-wife to pay back the money after the divorce.
Some people use their spouse’s identity information to borrow huge debts.
If she found an ordinary person, she wouldn't suffer any loss if she just dealt with him casually.
If you find a lawyer...
I dare not think about it.
Wang Xue was still worried and asked Shi Nanzhou, "Why are you so kind?"
Shi Nanzhou shrugged, "You just helped me, so I'll repay you. Anyway, I'm single, so I'll let you take advantage of me."
Wang Xue elbowed him, "You're at a disadvantage?! I'm the one at a disadvantage! Your ex-girlfriend is also a guest, and you might need me to help you kick her out later."
Shi Nanzhou smiled and said, "I have indeed considered this."
Wang Xue rolled her eyes and said, "Friend, be sincere. We are not in a lawsuit. Can you say whatever you want?"
"Okay, let's be sincere." Shi Nanzhou put forward his request, "Jian Shuang won't let it go like this. I may need your help to deal with it during this period of time."
Wang Xue agreed, "Okay, you just need to play the role of my boyfriend, and the rest will be handled according to circumstances."
The two people had just reached an agreement when Wang's father came over.
"Wang Xue, come here!"
Father Wang's voice was not loud, but his tone was very low.
Wang Xue was so frightened that she shuddered and immediately looked at Shi Nanzhou for help.
Shi Nanzhou reached out his hand to her, and Wang Xue reached out without hesitation and held the man's hand!
When Mr. Wang saw what was happening, his expression froze.
"Wang Lu, Xiaoxue and I are actually already together. I'm sorry, we didn't have time to tell you."
Shi Nanzhou's tone was sincere and his expression was serious, without any flaws visible.
Father Wang couldn't believe it. "Lawyer Shi, you and Xiaoxue?"
"Yes! Dad, we've only been together for a week, and our relationship is unstable. We might break up in a few days, so I didn't plan to tell you."
Wang Xue explained immediately.
Father Wang frowned and scolded Wang Xue: "You are already at this age, if you want to have a relationship, you should talk about breaking up in a few days!"
Shi Nanzhou is the youngest among the top ten lawyers in China.
His record in criminal defense is definitely verifiable.
Although Wang Xue is now a partner in a law firm, she only handles divorce cases.
In Mr. Wang's opinion, Shi Nanzhou is indeed a son-in-law that he had never dared to think of before.
Wang Xue nodded: "I know, I know. I'll try to hold on for a few more days."
Mr. Wang was very dissatisfied with his daughter's attitude.
He looked at Shi Nanzhou, "Xiaoxue has always had this personality since she was young, carefree and outspoken, but she has a good heart."
Shi Nanzhou said: "Well, I know that Xiaoxue has a straightforward personality."
Wang Xue immediately protested, "I'm not a child, how can I be so straightforward?"
"Xiaoxue!" Father Wang quickly interrupted her and asked Shi Nanzhou, "Lawyer Shi, when are you free? Let's sit down and have a meal."
"Okay, I'm fine with anything." Shi Nanzhou agreed.
"No need for that!" Wang Xue objected immediately, "Dad, we've only been together for a few days, and he was the one who pursued me. I haven't made up my mind yet. You're forcing us to break up."
Father Wang was even more surprised and looked at Shi Nanzhou for confirmation.
In order to save face, Wang Xue squeezed the man's hand hard, signaling him to cooperate with her.
Shi Nanzhou smiled and nodded, "Yes, I am a more reserved person, and I like Xiaoxue's personality very much."
Father Wang still couldn't believe what had just happened, so he left first in order not to disturb the two people.
As soon as her father left, Wang Xue immediately shook off the man's hand and said, "Thank you, Shi Lu. I will always remember your kindness."
Shi Nanzhou lowered his hands and said, "No need to thank me so soon. Let's sit down later. The two of us will sit at the same table."
"Ah?!" Wang Xue was stunned. "Is this true?"
Shi Nanzhou nodded and said, "I just looked at the list of people at that table. You and your father are on it."
In addition to being arranged according to the number of guests from both the male and female sides, the seating arrangement at a wedding is naturally also arranged according to status.
Shi Nanzhou is more famous in the legal profession, and Wang Xue's father is also a veteran in the industry.
It's normal for two people to sit at the same table.
When Wang Xue thought about having to continue acting later, she felt like a deflated ball.
"Then let's go sit over there."
Wang Xue was also tired of standing.
Walking to the round table, Wang Xue saw Lin Zhixing and He Yanchen sitting at the front table from afar.
Lin Zhixing's hand gently held He Yanchen's arm, and the two of them stood there, chatting with a few people.
Looks very intimate.
Especially on Lin Zhixing's face, there seemed to be no reluctance.
Wang Xue didn't insist that Lin Zhixing and He Yanchen draw a clear line between them.
She just knew how hard the woman had gone through in those years and hated He Yanchen's ruthlessness back then.
She retracted her gaze and turned to ask Shi Nanzhou: "Can you tell me what He Yanchen was thinking back then? He didn't have a terminal illness, so why did he have to do things so drastically?"
Shi Nanzhou also looked in He Yanchen's direction. "From what I know about him, he has always been a person who will do what he believes is right, no matter how hard or risky it is. It is precisely because of this character that he is where he is today."
"Can love and business be the same?"
Wang Xue was not convinced.
"Nothing is different, but I still really hope they get back together."
"Why?"
Shi Nanzhou showed a helpless expression and told his difficulties, "Because my nephew likes her very much."
Wang Xue didn't react at first, "Who do you like?"
Shi Nanzhou said: "I like Lin Zhixing."
