There weren't many people in the store, but they were still taken aback by Qin Suisui's simple and clear tone.

Even Su Chun herself couldn't believe that this woman dared to insult her like this in public.

Moreover, she never considered herself a third party in a relationship.

The incident happened a long time ago, and the person involved had been dead for many years, yet it was suddenly brought up in this way by a junior.

This immediately enraged her, making her feel ashamed as if she had been stripped naked.

How dare you speak to me like that?

Throughout her years of professional practice, Qin Suisui has always been known for her bold and decisive style in court.

Unlike some women she usually encounters, such as the one opposite her, whose words are always ambiguous and insinuating, never quite touching.

This time, Su Chun tried to provoke her again, so she simply made their relationship clear and warned her that they weren't that close yet, and she wouldn't give her any face. Trying to find pleasure in her might be a bit difficult.

"Whether I'm telling the truth or not, Ms. Su knows best in her heart!"

Her brows and eyes were relaxed, her expression calm yet indifferent.

"I am a lawyer, and I am responsible for my words and actions. Ms. Su, you know my law firm. You are welcome to sue me for defamation at any time!"

After saying that, she didn't look at Su Chun again, nodded slightly to Xie Yumu standing beside her, and turned to walk out of the store.

"You, you gold digger, how dare you spout such nonsense..."

Hearing the hoarse curses behind him.

Qin Suisui turned around and went inside again.

Su Chun paused in her cursing, panting heavily as she glared at him.

"Ms. Su, do you know that your words and actions just now violated Article 246 of the Criminal Law? Anyone who publicly insults another person or fabricates facts to defame another person in a public place, if the circumstances are serious, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance or deprivation of political rights!"

"Fine, go ahead and sue me!"

Su Chun looked completely fearless.

Qin Suisui slightly pursed her lips and nodded.

"Alright, since you have this idea, I'll grant your wish!"

She raised an eyebrow and smiled at Su Chun, then turned and left the store. She walked to the mall corridor and dialed the law firm's number.

"Assistant Yue, please help me retrieve the CCTV footage from 1:18 to 1:35 on the fifth floor of Taixin Shopping Mall, near Yinan Alley."

"Yes, I'll go to the mall right now and find their manager to download the surveillance footage!"

"Um!"

Qin Suisui hung up the phone. She would never allow anyone to insult her for no reason, especially not someone in her profession. If her colleagues found out that she was being insulted in public and did not fight back, it would be a disgrace to her legal career.

But that Senior Sister Xie Yumu is indeed quite interesting.

With a faint smile, she dialed Huo Zhongyuan's number.

"Sui Sui~"

Huo Zhongyuan's voice was lazy and hoarse as he leaned back in his chair with a smile on his lips.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

"I just ate!"

Qin Suisui sat in the rest area provided by the shop, playing with the jewelry box in her hand.

"I'm at Taixin right now."

"Taixin!"

Huo Zhongyuan raised an eyebrow and got up to grab his coat and head outside.

I'm coming to find you!

"Don't rush!"

A smile crept across Qin Suisui's lips, her tone teasing.

"I met your father's wife here. She brought a lady with her, who is said to be your unrequited love!"

"White moonlight?"

Huo Zhongyuan looked stunned for a moment.

"Whose white moonlight is mine?"

He was so angry he almost laughed. He quickly opened the office door.

"Wait for me at Taixin, I'll be there in a bit. I want to see what my white moonlight looks like."

If we have to talk about a "white moonlight" (ideal love), then his white moonlight can only be Sui Sui.

"Hey! Don't come any closer, I..."

She didn't have time to say "I want to go back to the law firm." She glanced at the phone that had been hung up and felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.

Well, we've gotten ourselves into trouble!

She also wanted to see what it would be like for Huo Zhongyuan to meet his old classmate upstairs.

Qin Suisui knew nothing about Huo Shixiong's past private life and relationships, only vaguely understanding a little bit through outsiders and media reports.

After all, she had a boyfriend before, so she was naturally embarrassed to question her senior brother Huo.

Huo Zhongyuan arrived quickly, reaching Qin Suisui's floor in about twenty minutes.

He looked around and spotted Sui Sui sitting in the crowd.

The midday sun shone on her, her fair and smooth skin glowing with a faint pink hue. Her eyes were gentle as she lowered her gaze, and her jet-black hair cascaded over her shoulders like seaweed.

As if sensing his presence, Qin Suisui looked up in his direction, a smile playing on her lips, her eyes gradually brightening with amusement.

She raised her arm and stretched it out in his direction.

Huo Zhongyuan's displeasure vanished in an instant, his expression softened, and the surroundings seemed to fall silent; he only had eyes for her.

He strode up to Sui Sui, took her slender white fingers in his hand, and held them tightly.

Why did you decide to come over today?

He slowly sat down beside her.

"your!"

Qin Suisui handed over the gift box as if presenting a treasure.

"mine?"

Huo Zhongyuan's voice held an undisguised surprise.

He smiled, glanced at Sui Sui, and reached out to take the gift box.

"You came here alone at noon just to buy me a gift?"

"Well, I suddenly wanted to give you a gift."

Otherwise, she would feel guilty, so Qin Suisui smiled guiltily.

She covered Huo Zhongyuan's hand, which was about to open it.
