After Turning Around, I Exploded in the Legal Circle

Ten years in Huating have been turbulent, with behind-the-scenes capital always omnipresent. Beneath the calm surface, undercurrents always churn; lights flicker on and off, and human affairs ebb a...

Chapter 72 Reunion

After handing over her work tasks to Assistant Yue, Qin Suisui began to streamline the litigation cases that would follow the holiday.

Apart from a few cases that were specifically requested to be handled by her but which she couldn't refuse, she picked out most of the cases and handed them over to other lawyers in the firm after the holiday.

After reviewing all the materials, Qin Suisui felt soreness in her shoulder blades. She stretched her arms to relieve the soreness in her body, and glanced at the time. It was already ten o'clock.

She looked out the window, where the bright lights from the other side of the wall were reflected in the glass.

Lost in thought, I heard a soft rustling sound coming from outside the door.

Assistant Yue should have been keeping her company while she worked overtime in the outer room.

She quickly packed up the documents and put them into the safe next to the bookshelf.

Qin Suisui picked up her handbag, opened the office door, and sure enough, the light was still on at Assistant Yue's cubicle.

"Lawyer Qin, are you getting ready to leave work?"

Hearing the door open, Yue Hongxin looked up and saw Qin Lu finally walk out of the office. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it was indeed getting late.

"Assistant Yue, if there's nothing else, you can go back now and don't need to wait for me."

Qin Suisui walked to Assistant Yue's cubicle and watched her tidy up the documents on her desk.

"I'll wait for you to go together."

At this point, only the two of them remained at the Law Offices of Rhodes. The entire floor was eerily quiet, and the lack of security made it difficult for only one person to work there.

She plans to work more and more overtime hours in the future, and she intends to have someone arrange for two more security guards to be hired after the holiday, who can be assigned to early and late shifts.

After Assistant Yue finished getting ready, the two of them took the elevator to the underground parking garage.

"Qin Law, see you tomorrow!"

Yue Hongxin waved goodbye to Qin Suisui; her car was still parked inside.

"See you tomorrow!"

Qin Suisui got into the car and drove out of the underground parking garage.

As soon as the car left Yuanxing International, the sounds of a city that never sleeps came rushing towards us.

At 10 p.m. in Huating, the streets are still teeming with pedestrians.

Qin Suisui's heart was filled with a sense of joy.

She was somewhat tempted, glanced at her phone, but ultimately her emotions prevailed.

She picked up her phone and dialed Yueyue's number.

"Sui Sui, what brings you to call me at this hour?"

Su Yue should be outside; the environment where she is is a bit noisy.

Qin Suisui's lips curled slightly: "Where are you?"

"Where am I and you're not coming to me?"

Su Yue shrugged indifferently, waved to her companion who came over to say hello, and silently gestured with her mouth not to disturb them.

Should I come find you now?

"What did you say?"

Su Yue thought she had misheard, so she covered her phone and walked outside.

"It's too noisy here, Sui Sui, what did you just say?"

"I'll tell you where you are, and I'll come find you now."

Qin Suisui parked the car on the side of the road, rolled down the window, and put her arm out the window. The cold wind made her regret her decision.

"If it's inconvenient for you, I won't go."

"Come on, come on, what's inconvenient? We're just waiting for you."

Su Yue was overjoyed and quickly gave her her location.

"We're at Y·jia Style Bar on Waihai East Road. Hurry up, I'm waiting for you."

"Wait for me, I'll be there in a bit."

Qin Suisui stopped worrying and started the car, heading towards the location sent by Su Yue.

Su Yue skipped back to her booth with great excitement, glancing at her childhood friend who was whispering to her.

He took the tea tray and tapped the tea table.

"Hey everyone, look up! I have something important to say, so listen up!"

Her friend looked up at her for no apparent reason.

"What's the matter? Why are you being so formal?"

Cheng Ting crossed his legs, leaned back on the sofa, and looked at her with a grin.

"You, it's you, be serious from now on."

Su Yue glanced at him sideways before saying, "Wait a minute, my best friend, my roommate from Aurora University, Qin Suisui, is coming over. You all better watch out."

"Holy crap, girl, Qin Suisui is the head of that Law Firm you were talking about, Luo Dun Law Firm?"

Wen Fei, her close friend, looked up.

"It's her."

"It's a rare treat; we're finally going to meet the goddess that Miss Su was talking about."

Wen Fei asked jokingly, "Yueyue, I only have one question: is she really even prettier in person than in photos?"

"Of course, am I the kind of person who exaggerates?"

Su Yue rolled her eyes at her disdainfully.

"Fine, fine, you're the one who values ​​women more than friends."

Wen Fei stopped arguing with her. Anyway, the person would arrive soon, and their appearance would be revealed when they saw them in person.

There was no traffic on Qin Suisui's way there, and she arrived at the address Yueyue had sent in less than twenty minutes.

She parked her car at a roadside parking spot, opened her WeChat, and texted as she walked: "Yueyue, I've arrived. Where are you guys?"

"Here, Sui Sui!"

Su Yue waved and jogged over from the booth. When she saw Qin Suisui, she went up and hugged her tightly.

"Sui Sui, you're finally here. As long as you don't show up, I'll think you're joking with me."

How could that be?

Qin Suisui smiled and followed Su Yue toward the booth.

"Wow, she's a stunningly beautiful woman!"

Wen Fei glanced at the two people walking over and turned to wave behind her.

"Those of you who have ideas, hurry up and pack them up, it's really a masterpiece."

The group of people who had been drinking with their backs turned turned around upon hearing this and immediately spotted the beautiful woman walking with Su Yue.

The group quickly put out their cigarettes and put down their drinks.

Cheng Ting looked down at his clothes and raised an eyebrow at the two people sitting opposite him.

"Hey you two, take a look at me, what do you think?"

As they were talking, Qin Suisui had already followed Su Yue to the booth.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Let me introduce you to my best friend."

Su Yue spoke with her own accompaniment: "This is my best friend, Qin Suisui."

"Good evening!"

Qin Suisui smiled and nodded to the people present.

…………

Huo Zhongyuan sat listlessly in a private booth at the bar, swirling his glass and gazing at its alluring, agate-like color.

Although the wine looked beautiful, it didn't arouse any desire in him to drink it.

The loud music playing all around him gradually made him irritable.

"Yueqi, it's getting late, I'll head back now, I have things to do tomorrow."

Without waiting for Yue Qi's reply, he got up and prepared to leave.

He had only taken two steps when he saw a graceful and beautiful girl standing to his right.

She turned her head to face him, her smile serene and composed.

Huo Zhongyuan paused, then turned around and sat back down.
