Chapter 612 Rejected

Ji Chuan was silent for two seconds, then asked her again: "Have you ever thought about retaking the entrance exam?"

She shook her head. "Not very realistic."

When she was 17, it was her dream to go to university, but from the moment she decided to give up the college entrance examination, she never thought about it again. For her, it was a luxury. Even now, it is still the same. She is 25 years old this year, and it seems ridiculous to think about it again.

His voice was indifferent. "What are your plans for the future? For yourself?"

"I don't have any plans of my own."

She smiled and added, "Probably after my brother and sister graduate from college and find jobs, I'll save some money. I plan to go back to my hometown and buy a house, and move my parents and grandpa in. I might open a small shop or a B&B in our town."

"Have you ever thought about staying in North City?"

She shook her head and said, "It's too tiring to live here."

"My parents and grandpa are old and need someone to take care of them."

Ji Chuan turned his head toward the window, his eyes dark and his jaw clenched into a clenched line.

The car stopped downstairs of the office. Ji Chuan didn't get out of the car. "You go up first."

She looked questioningly, "You're not going up? Going straight to the court session?"

He nodded.

"good."

She quickly unbuckled her seat belt, opened the car door, and got out.

He watched her figure disappear at the door of the building, and did not take his eyes off her for a long time.

He sat in the car, feeling more defeated than ever before.

She rejected him.

She was so smart that she had seen through his thoughts long ago, so she blocked his mouth first.

Ji Chuan felt so suffocated that he parked his car on the side of the road for a long time.

Ji Chuan didn't return to the law firm all afternoon, and when it was time to get off work, Xu Hui still hadn't seen him come back.

She waited for twenty minutes, but he didn't show up, so she packed up, went downstairs to the company building, and took the subway.

Sitting on the subway, she thought about it and finally sent him a message, "I'm going home after get off work."

When Ji Chuan received the news, he was sitting at the dining table. There were many people in the box. The lawsuit he won in the afternoon was specially held a thank-you banquet by the client.

His absent-mindedness finally ended the moment he saw the message. He stared at the phone screen for a long time, then replied with one word, "OK."

This drinking party lasted a long time, and the client was well prepared. At the end of the first round, he said politely, "I opened a new bar a while ago. It's still early, Ji Lu, why don't you take everyone there to relax?"

This was said cryptically, but everyone present knew that the so-called relaxation was not just about having a few drinks.

Ji Chuan is well-known for his cleanliness in the legal circle. All the clients who have dealt with him in the past know his temper. In such social occasions, he almost never smokes or drinks, let alone such things. The other party usually doesn't even mention it. But today, when the other party saw that he had unexpectedly drunk a lot of wine, he tentatively invited him.

He lowered his eyes to glance at his watch, thinking it was already late, but it turned out to be just after 8 o'clock. After a brief silence, he said, "Forget about drinking. I've already had too much to drink today."

He glanced at the table, thought for a moment, then curled his lips and smiled faintly, saying, "Today's grilled lamb chops are very good. Please, waiter, pack me another one. My family will probably like it."

The client immediately laughed and said, "I didn't expect that Lawyer Ji is so family-oriented. I always heard that you were single."

The lawyer next to Ji Chuan rushed to speak: "Lawyer Ji's new girlfriend is very beautiful."

When Xu Hui received Ji Chuan's call, she had just taken off her clothes and was about to take a shower. She reached out and pressed the answer button.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Hui immediately noticed something was wrong with his voice. It was very similar to the voice last night, with an indescribable laziness in it.

She didn't answer him, but asked, "What's wrong?"

He asked, "Have you had dinner?"

"have eaten."

What time is it? Xu Hui glanced at the time. It was already half past eight. He called at this time and was in this state again, as if he had been drinking. She suddenly asked, "Is there something wrong at home again?"

"without."

She clutched the phone, still naked, and wanted to finish her story immediately so she could hang up. However, his tone was neither hurried nor slow, so she had no choice but to ask, "What do you want?"
