Chapter 143 Are you hiding from me?

Song Yi was so worried about this that he didn't sleep well the whole night and didn't get out of bed when the alarm clock rang in the morning.

She didn't have classes at school today, so she could get up later, thus avoiding any awkward encounters with Jiang Yuxu.

Bang bang.

As soon as this thought came to Song Yi's mind, he heard a knock on the door.

Song Yi sat up from the bed with a start. Jiang Yuxu's voice came from outside the door: "Song Yi, it's half past seven."

Song Yi uttered an "Ah," "I don't have classes today, I want to sleep a little longer, Jiang Lu, don't worry about me."

"The law firm needs you to do something," Jiang Yuxu said. "Get up and come with me."

Song Yi: "...Oh, okay."

In the end, there was no way to escape, so Song Yi could only accept his fate and get up, wash and change clothes.

She packed up as quickly as possible and came out before eight o'clock.

Jiang Yuxu sat on the sofa in the living room waiting for her and glanced at his watch: "Can we have breakfast at the institute?"

Song Yi: "Okay."

"Let's go." Jiang Yuxu walked to the coat rack and took down his suit.

Song Yi also picked up his coat and put it on, then carried his bag and followed Jiang Yuxu closely, while subconsciously keeping a safe distance from him.

Song Yi was already in awe of Jiang Yuxu, and after what happened last night, he became even more cautious and treaded on thin ice.

After entering the elevator, she huddled in a corner alone.

Jiang Yuxu had a keen sense of smell and immediately noticed her abnormality.

When getting in the car, Song Yi wanted to sit in the back seat, but Jiang Yuxu immediately reminded her: "Sit in the passenger seat."

Jiang Yuxu's three words carried a strong sense of oppression, and Song Yi's hand that was grasping the back door was retracted.

Finally I got to sit in the passenger seat.

But after she got on the bus, she sat almost against the door, as if she was ready to escape at any time.

Jiang Yuxu started the car and glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, "Are you avoiding me?"

Song Yi: “…”

"I discovered it when we were in the elevator." Jiang Yuxu steered the wheel, his tone serious, "What's the reason?"

He also asked why?

For a moment, Song Yi couldn't figure out whether he really didn't know or was pretending not to know.

But no matter which one it is, it’s not a good thing for her to keep avoiding it. It’s better to talk it out.

After taking several deep breaths, Song Yi mustered up the courage to speak: "Lawyer Jiang, thank you very much for your help and care during this period. I'm always happy to help you if you need me. As for Xin Shang, I'll go clean up after I finish my work today."

"You want to move out?" Jiang Yuxu frowned.

Song Yi: "Yes, I didn't think it through before. After all, we are not a real couple——"

"You were living well before, why did you suddenly say this to me?" Jiang Yuxu interrupted her.

Song Yi: "The question you asked last night... I'm sorry, I really didn't mean that to you."

When Jiang Yuxu heard Song Yi say this, he was enlightened.

He glanced at her sideways: "Do you think I'm expressing my feelings by asking that question?"

Song Yi was embarrassed, not knowing whether to nod or shake his head.

"You're overthinking it. I don't have that kind of feelings for you." Jiang Yuxu explained and comforted her, "You don't have to feel pressured."

Song Yi always felt that Jiang Yuxu said this to comfort her.

"Whether you have it or not, it's not appropriate for us to live together, and we can't keep performing, so we should..."

"Wait a few more days." Jiang Yuxu saw Song Yi avoiding him and knew that no matter how much he explained, it would be useless. He could only wait until his identity was revealed. "I need your help these few days."

Song Yi: "You can work at the law firm—"

"It's not the law firm, it's someone harassing me." Jiang Yuxu made up an excuse, "I still need a shield for the time being."

It seemed that this was not the first time Song Yi heard Jiang Yuxu say that someone was harassing him. She was quite naive before and believed it on the spot, but this time -

"At most half a month." Jiang Yuxu seemed to see her concerns and set a deadline directly. "Just consider it as a reward for helping you so much."

Jiang Yuxu has brought up this matter, so it would be heartless for Song Yi to refuse again.

During the half month, she also took the opportunity to do some ideological work on Song Lansheng so that she wouldn't feel the breakup was abrupt.

Lying is really tiring. After this time, she never wants to cover up a lie again.

——

After arriving at the law firm, Song Yi found out that Jiang Yuxu's assistant was on a business trip temporarily, and there happened to be a signing ceremony for a cooperative company today, so Jiang Yuxu brought her along to help.

Jiang Yuxu also handed her the company's information an hour in advance. Song Yi flipped through it and got a general understanding of the information on the other side.

The partner this time is a foreign company that has just taken over Beicheng and mainly engages in AI business. They are looking for Hengan to cooperate because they are impressed by Hengan's business capabilities in intellectual property.

Hengan has cooperated with many companies in related businesses in China, has achieved fruitful results, and has never lost an infringement lawsuit.

Not long after Song Yi finished reading the information, Jiang Yuxu came to ask her to go to the meeting room together.

Song Yi followed him with the documents and notebook, and the two walked out together.

When he walked to the door of the conference room, Song Yi saw a strange figure.

It should be someone from the partner.

Song Yi turned around to look at Jiang Yuxu, and when he was about to exchange glances with him, he suddenly heard the person opposite him calling Jiang Yuxu's name.

When the woman called his name, she paused after each word, and it sounded vaguely ambiguous.

After calling his name, she walked closer, stopped in front of Jiang Yuxu, looked at him with a smile, and stretched out her hand to him.

"We meet again. It seems we are destined to be together."

This sentence is not implicitly ambiguous, it is blatant.

Song Yi took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the woman opposite him.

She was wearing a dark grey trench coat, with long wavy hair casually hanging on her shoulders. Her facial features were delicate and gorgeous. Even with just simple light makeup, she was still very beautiful and aggressive.

Song Yi suddenly remembered that Jiang Yuxu said someone was harassing him.

This can’t be true…

"Old classmate, are you so disrespectful?" Gui Qing's hand paused in the air for a long time. Jiang Yuxu had no intention of shaking hands with her, but she was not embarrassed and still had a smile on her face.

"It's a pleasure to work with you." Jiang Yuxu stretched out his hand and shook it.

Song Yi lowered his eyes and stole a glance at the two people's clasped hands.

Then she froze.

...She saw the woman scratch Jiang Yuxu's palm twice, and then Jiang Yuxu pulled his hand back.

As if nothing happened.

Song Yi took another breath.

She was immersed in shock and didn't hear Jiang Yuxu calling her the first time. It was not until Jiang Yuxu patted her shoulder that Song Yi came to her senses.

"Go in and don't be distracted." Jiang Yuxu reminded in a deep voice.

"Okay, okay." Song Yi nodded hurriedly and followed him.

After a few minutes, all the people who were going to sign the contract arrived and the meeting officially began.

When the person in charge there introduced the woman, Song Yi wrote down her name.

Return to the clear sky.

He is a software engineer at NV and the general manager of its domestic branch.

Graduated from UCLA.

...Oh, I'm from the same school as Master Jiang Yuxu.

No wonder she called her old classmate.

When working, Song Yi had no time to gossip and was concentrating on taking notes.

The signing process lasted for more than an hour. Afterwards, the law firm treated the NV team to lunch.

Song Yi and Jiang Yuxu walked out of the meeting room and whispered to him, "I won't be there at noon."

"Hi, Jiang Lu." Song Yi had just finished speaking when he heard Gui Qing's voice again.

When she looked closely, Gui Qing had already stopped in front of her and Jiang Yuxu.

But her eyes were fixed on Jiang Yuxu, "Can I take your car later?"
