Chapter 590: She Treats

Xu Hui carefully applied lotion on her face and took medicine every day, but even so, it took a week for the swelling on her face to completely subside.

On Sunday night, she couldn't wait to call Ji Chuan.

Ji Chuan was sitting in the office. When he saw the screen of his mobile phone light up, his eyes moved slightly. Then he raised his hand to signal, and the two lawyers sitting opposite him immediately stood up and walked out.

The phone rang for a long time before Xu Hui heard a cold and familiar male voice from the other end, "Hello."

Xu Hui: "Are you not busy now?"

Ji Chuan glanced outside the door and said calmly, "Not busy."

Xu Hui's tone relaxed, "I just want to tell you that my face is completely healed and I can go to work now."

He asked, "Can you come on Monday?"

She replied simply: "Yes, no problem."

Through the phone, he seemed to feel that she was eager to go to work and make money.

He leaned back in his chair and said nonchalantly, "The front desk is the face of a law firm. Don't try to destroy my reputation just to make money."

Her tone was urgent: "I'm really fine, otherwise I'll take a picture and show it to you now?"

Without waiting for his response, she continued, "Forget it. People will suspect the photo is photoshopped. How about this? I'll come find you and you can check it out yourself. Just treat it as an interview. I have time now anyway."

He raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the time, and glanced outside the door. After a brief silence, he said, "Where are you? I'll drive over."

Xu Hui: "No, your time is precious, and mine is worthless. I'll go find you."

He asked directly: "At home?"

Xu Hui didn't insist any more. "Well, you should park the car at the entrance of the alley. Oh, you haven't eaten yet, right? I'd like to treat you to a meal as a thank you for finding me a new job."

"I'll be there in about twenty minutes."

He hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

After Xu Hui hung up the phone, she immediately ran to change her clothes and put on makeup. She stopped just as she applied foundation. He came to check the injuries on her face. Her covering up seemed like fraud, so she decisively removed the foundation and walked out with a bare face.

She arrived ten minutes early and stood at the entrance of the alley waiting for him.

From a distance, she saw the dazzling headlights coming towards her. Squinting her eyes slightly, she raised her hand to signal him that the place where she was standing was a parking space, and she asked him to park the car there.

He was sitting in the car, and through the light from the headlights, he saw her clearly at a glance. She was standing in a parking space on the side of the road, directing him to stop. She had no makeup on her face, a clean face, her hair simply tied in a low ponytail, a simple cartoon T-shirt on the upper body, a skirt on the lower body, a bag slung across her body, and a pair of running shoes on her feet. This outfit was completely different from her previous appearance. From a distance, she looked like an ordinary schoolgirl.

She waited for him to park the car and get out, then she came up to him and asked with a smile, "Do you have anything else to do later?"

She stood closer, and her features became clearer. He lowered his eyes to examine her face and asked, "What's wrong?"

She explained: "If you have nothing to do, I will treat you to barbecue. There is a barbecue stall in the night market here that is particularly delicious. If you have more later..."

"fine."

He interrupted her directly.

Xu Hui nodded, "Okay, then follow me, it's just ahead."

There is a night market not far ahead. It looks crowded with people, with smoke rising up. The aroma of various foods mixed with the voices of people and the sounds of traffic drift around in the air on this spring night.
