Gentle and virtuous Song Yi harbors a secret: years ago, when she was desperate, she sought help from a man. She witnessed his wildness and endured his disdain.

She thought they would never m...

Chapter 144: They look alike

Chapter 144: They look alike

Gui Qing's eyes were undisguised, and Song Yi felt that she must have treated her as air.

Song Yi felt that he could almost turn into air and disappear.

However.

"It's not convenient for her to come with me." Jiang Yuxu rejected Gui Qing.

Gui Qing then turned her gaze towards Song Yi, a smile playing on her lips, "That's a pity."

Jiang Yuxu: "Lawyer Liu will drive you."

Gui Qing nodded, did not continue to pester him, and turned away gracefully.

After she left, Jiang Yuxu looked at Song Yi and said, "Let's go together at noon."

Song Yi originally wanted to refuse, but then she thought that Jiang Yuxu probably wanted her to go with him as a shield, so she swallowed her words.

Song Yi is not a gossipy person, but she is quite curious about her suitor Jiang Yuxu.

She is very bold and outgoing. She didn't feel shy or embarrassed after being rejected, but was very relaxed.

People are always attracted to qualities that they cannot possess.

At around 12:30, Song Yi, Jiang Yuxu and others took their seats in the box.

As Jiang Yuxu's assistant and "girlfriend", Song Yi was naturally arranged to sit next to him.

The other seat next to Jiang Yuxu was occupied by Liu Lu.

Originally, Lawyer Liu wanted to arrange for Gui Qing to come and sit, but Gui Qing unexpectedly refused. Song Yi was surprised for a moment, then thought again that Gui Qing might be avoiding suspicion because there were so many people at the scene.

After we were seated, lunch officially began.

Song Yi never talked much in such occasions. She drank tea quietly and listened to their conversation.

Jiang Yuxu is not a talkative person. He usually brings Liu Lu with him when he socializes, and Liu Lu is the one who livens up the atmosphere.

Today is no exception.

Lawyer Liu quickly brought the topic to Gui Qing. "Qing got his master's degree from UCLA, right? Which class was it from? We're classmates of Lawyer Jiang."

The others at the table followed suit, saying, "Yeah, Master Jiang Lu is also at UCLA. They're both Chinese, so they should have met before, right?"

"Of course." Gui Qing looked at Jiang Yuxu and said with a smile, "I had a deep impression of Jiang Lu, but Jiang Lu doesn't remember me, which makes me sad."

Gui Qing said this in a joking tone, so naturally no one else at the table took it seriously.

But Song Yi always felt that there was something else behind her words.

Song Yi sipped the water and stole a glance at Jiang Yuxu's expression.

He adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "I have a bad memory."

Lawyer Liu also tried to smooth things over: "Yes, Lawyer Jiang only remembers the legal clauses."

Gui Qing: "Jiang Lu is very famous in school. I often hear others mention him."

Someone gossiped: "Jiang Lu must have had a lot of admirers when he was studying, right?"

Gui Qing looked at Jiang Yuxu again: "Lawyer Jiang, is it too much?"

Jiang Yuxu: "No."

"How is that possible?"

Liu Lu: "Most likely scared by his aloofness."

Gui Qing: "Very likely."

She suddenly turned the conversation to Song Yi, "Assistant Song usually works with Lawyer Jiang. Is he scared by him?"

Being suddenly called out, Song Yi raised his head and gave an awkward laugh. "Lawyer Jiang is quite good."

"Haha, Qing Gong, you're asking the wrong person." Liu Lu introduced Song Yi to Gui Qing: "She's not an employee of our firm, she's the future boss's wife."

Gui Qing raised her eyebrows with interest, and there was clearly more inquiry in her eyes as she looked at Song Yi.

Other people from NV company also looked at Song Yi.

Song Yi suddenly became the protagonist of the dinner party, feeling even more embarrassed and could only keep smiling.

At this time, Jiang Yuxu came out to smooth things over for her: "My assistant is on a business trip, so she came over to help."

This is equivalent to acknowledging Song Yi's identity.

Jiang Yuxu didn't go into too much detail about Song Yi, and everyone was tactful enough not to ask any further questions. It was enough for them to just know that she was Jiang Yuxu's girlfriend.

Gui Qing also didn't ask much, but just carefully observed Song Yi who was sitting next to Jiang Yuxu.

She has a very pretty appearance, and her gentleness and intelligence reveal a bit of purity and innocence. She talks little, does not fight or compete, and has a very bookish air.

If you look closely, he looks a bit like Jiang Yuxu.

Is this probably the rumored couple look?

There's a theory that people tend to look for partners who look like themselves, essentially looking in the mirror.

I didn't realize that Jiang Yuxu is such a narcissistic person.

——

At noon, Fu Xijing came to the identification center to get the paternity test report.

When he opened it and saw the identification results, he was not surprised.

From Jiang Yuxu's reaction that day, I had already guessed the result.

Making an appraisal report is just for the next step.

He had already gotten a rough idea of ​​Song Yi's attitude that night.

As she said, she cared more about Song Lansheng's thoughts.

After getting the appraisal report, Fu Xijing drove towards the west side of Xuefu.

It was just past two o'clock when Fu Xijing parked the car downstairs.

He had the impression that Song Lansheng had the habit of taking a nap, and he wondered if he was awake now.

Out of politeness, Fu Xijing decided to wait a little longer.

After sitting in the car for more than half an hour, Fu Xijing saw Song Lansheng.

She was wrapped in a thick down jacket and didn't look very well.

Seeing this, Fu Xijing got out of the car and walked towards her, holding her arm.

After getting closer, Fu Xijing found that Song Lansheng's face was very pale and his eyes were a little swollen.

Fu Xijing's heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong with you? I'll take you to the hospital."

"Xijing?" Song Lansheng stared at him for a long moment before realizing what was happening. "Why are you here?"

"I came to do something and came to see you," Fu Xijing asked, "Do you need to go to the hospital for a check-up?"

"No, I just have a cold." Song Lansheng spoke with a strong nasal tone.

Fu Xijing: "Then why are you going out?"

Song Lansheng: "My water card is out of power, so I went to the property management to buy water."

"I'll go." Fu Xijing helped Song Lansheng toward the building door. "You go upstairs and rest first. I'll bring it over after I finish shopping."

Song Lansheng coughed twice and said, "Thank you for your help."

Fu Xijing took the water card and cash from Song Lansheng and sent her to the elevator before leaving.

Fu Xijing found the location of the property by asking the security guard. After going in to buy some water, he went upstairs naturally.

After Song Lansheng returned home, his complexion looked obviously better than when he was downstairs just now.

Fu Xijing went to the kitchen to put the water card on her, and then returned to the living room and said to her, "It's been cold recently, and your body hasn't fully recovered yet. Try not to go out."

He paused, "If there's anything you can ask them to come back and do it for you."

Song Lansheng nodded and said with a smile, "It's all a small matter. Xiaoyi lives far away, and it's tiring to make a trip in such cold weather."

Fu Xijing discovered that the mother and daughter looked very similar.

Only report good news to each other and never bad news.

He was sure that Song Lansheng had never told Song Yi about his cold.

Just like Song Yi would not tell Song Lansheng about the difficulties she encountered.

Fu Xijing sat on the sofa, clasped his fingers together and pondered for a moment.

Then, he looked at Song Lansheng and said, "Teacher Song, don't you know you're sick?"

"I didn't tell her," Song Lansheng said, "otherwise she would be worried again."

Fu Xijing: "Are you afraid that she will worry?"

Song Lansheng looked down at the floor beneath his feet, not knowing what was on his mind. He sighed deeply, "She has been suffering with me since she was little. I've delayed her."
