Chapter 12 Love Moon 012 "That's me...
"The timing is fine, but did I forget to tell you about my family situation?"
She cleared her throat and shifted her position, never thinking that one day she would actively talk about this with others.
A little awkward...
No, I just feel uncomfortable all over.
She didn't feel any pain when she pressed the spot where she had bled during the day with her fingers. Instead, it was more stimulating, making her keep pushing harder.
Before she could speak, a hand suddenly appeared in her field of vision.
The finger side felt warm and the stinging pain disappeared, leaving only residual pain spreading.
He Chuyue raised her eyes and looked at the owner of the finger. His clear voice fell on her ears first.
"If you don't want to talk about it, don't talk about it."
His expression remained indifferent, as if what He Chuyue was hiding was just a trivial matter like eating a meal and drawing a piece of paper.
With the sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper, Xiao Zhiyan pushed the agreement over.
"What time is your prenatal checkup the day after tomorrow? I'll pick you up."
-
He Chuyue felt that everything was going wrong for her recently, starting with the rejection of Tang Huimin's niece. A series of troubles followed one after another, and the most troublesome thing was the increasingly severe pregnancy reactions.
God knows how much He Chuyue wanted to send a message to curse Xiao Zhiyan when she was holding the toilet and vomiting until her bile came out in the middle of the night last night.
Facts have proved that Lawyer He is not someone who would let herself be wronged. The twitching in her stomach had long made her forget the theory that her own interests outweigh his. So Xiao Zhiyan got up at seven o'clock and saw the two withdrawal messages at three o'clock in the morning, so he called He Chuyue, worried that something had happened to her.
"Hello?"
The call was connected but no one responded. Xiao Zhiyan immediately left the kitchen to get his coat, "He Chuyue?"
“Who is it?!”
The angry curse full of irritability after waking up made Xiao Zhiyan, who had already put on his shoes, feel relieved instantly. Before he could ask, the next curse followed.
"Why are you calling so early in the morning? Are you sick?"
"I--"
The call has been disconnected.
Xiao Zhiyan held up his phone, looked at Kafe, who was confused, and checked the time.
What time does she go to work?
Over there, He Chuyue, who had vented her grumpiness about waking up, turned over and continued to sleep until the alarm rang at 7:30 and she got up on time.
I didn’t pay attention to the call log and went to the law firm after packing up.
The busy morning passed by, and He Chuyue sorted out the bills that were about to go to court and prepared to go to court. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he was stopped by Mei Qingxue who had just returned and was pulled into the tea room.
"You're in such a hurry. Is there someone chasing you? Have you pissed the person off again?" He Chuyue teased her while leaning against the table.
Mei Qingxue glanced at her and pulled her in. Afraid of being heard, he lowered his voice.
"What I told you last time was true. It's absolutely true. He has already returned from Paris. He took a flight yesterday morning and will report this week."
He Chuyue was also surprised that it would happen so soon.
"How do you know that?"
Mei Qingxue said confidently: "I heard it when I went to Mr. Tang's office to deliver the materials yesterday."
She was about to say something when she was interrupted by the ringing of the phone, so she could only hurriedly pat He Chuyue's shoulder.
"I won't tell you who it is yet, but this person is really excellent, very excellent! Lawyer He, you have to be careful. Whether in life or work."
As the sound of high heels faded away, He Chuyue's thoughts were distracted. A few seconds later, she called He Wen.
"Please help me find out which of the graduates from China University of Political Science and Law in the past ten years are working in Paris."
When He Chuyue received Smith's call, he had just left the law firm. When she learned that Gu Qianqian wanted to meet, she checked the time and changed her route to Peking University.
Following the navigation sent by Smith, He Chuyue got out of the car and saw Gu Qianqian's assistant being led through the employee passage into the enclosed territory.
Gu Qianqian is currently filming a modern drama about campus memories, and the filming location is Peking University. Because it was a filming location, the crew cleared the area, but she could still see students taking pictures outside and the incessant sound of shutter clicks.
"Long time no see, Lawyer He. Today's circumstances are special, please understand." Smith came over at the end of the corridor, took over the assistant's job of leading the way, and the two of them went to the celebrity RV together.
"The first two times, I met with Lawyer He, and Xixi had never met you. Today, when I saw your name on the wall of outstanding graduates of Beijing University, Xixi said that she must meet such an outstanding lawyer to express her apology for her impolite absence the first two times. Fortunately, Lawyer He honored me."
He Chuyue's eyes fell on Smith's smiling face, and she also narrowed her eyes, "You said on the phone that you had something to tell me, so it's just a meeting?"
"Of course not. Xixi wants to talk to you specifically about the recent online comments."
The door of the RV was pushed open, and He Chuyue frowned as she smelled the strong scent of perfume in the car.

Near noon, Xiao Zhiyan left the laboratory building and went to the classroom in Building A.
On the way, I met Duan Zeming who was going to have dinner, and the two of us went together.
"I'll wait for you to finish your class and we'll go to the cafeteria to eat together. It'll only take forty minutes anyway." Duan Zeming came over with a wicked smile. "What should I do if the handsome Mr. Duan suddenly shows up and all the students focus on me? Professor Xiao, can you handle it?"
Xiao Zhiyan was already used to it, and rarely cooperated: "You can try."
"Hey, you look like you're in a good mood today. Did someone come to see you?"
Xiao Zhiyan didn't know where he came to this conclusion and didn't respond.
Duan Zeming's face fell: "No way? No one is looking for you? I've been thinking about you all morning."
"Why are you thinking about me?"
"I'm in class, not in the lab! If someone goes to the lab to act as a matchmaker for you, I won't be able to watch the show!"
Xiao Zhiyan quickened his pace.
"Hey, slow down!"
The two of them walked through the pavilion in the middle of the lake. The noise not far away floated over and Duan Zeming looked over.
"What are those students doing there? Why are there so many people?" Then he remembered, "Last week I heard from Teacher Chen that a female celebrity was filming in our school. I didn't expect it to be today."
His arm was poked and Xiao Zhiyan looked at him.
"Why don't you go check it out after class?"
He looked away, feeling indifferent to Duan Zeming's boring decision.
Duan Zeming didn't give up and followed his quickened pace: "Let's go and take a look. It won't hurt anything. I've been accompanying you to class, so what's wrong with you accompanying me to watch the fun?"
Xiao Zhiyan ruthlessly refused: "You can go and see it now."
-
The white down jacket brought out the woman's fair skin even more, but she was still not satisfied. She directed the makeup artist to apply body lotion on her shoulders, as if she was completely unaware of He Chuyue's arrival.
After sitting for two minutes, He Chuyue stood up and said goodbye.
"Is that all the patience a lawyer has?"
Gu Qianqian's voice came from behind, with a light and condescending tone, "My brother chose you, but now you look like a vase."
He Chuyue let go of the door handle, turned around, and smiled politely.
"I know the aromatherapy in Miss Gu's car is from the Es brand collection, a treasure not available on the market. It's my honor to smell it, but I have rhinitis recently, and I will sneeze if I smell it for a long time. I'm afraid of dirtying Miss Gu's favorite pillow."
Gu Qianqian's gaze had long since left the mirror and fell on the woman at the door, sizing her up.
The deathly light of the overhead light shone on her face. Surprisingly, Gu Qianqian did not see the shortcomings of her face exposed by the light. Instead, it highlighted He Chuyue's high nose bridge and her lively eyes.
The perfect face matched with a simple suit undoubtedly outlines her beautiful figure, but on her feet she wears a pair of white sneakers, which is a great contrast, yet charming and capable.
One can't help but sigh that He Chuyue's beauty is direct, just like the first impression she gave her, frank and unpretentious.
Gu Qianqian waved her hand to let the makeup artist leave, and turned around: "Do you know that this is Es's collection?"
"I drafted the divorce agreement between Es Bai and her husband two years ago, and she gave me a bottle afterwards."
Gu Qianqian's pretty smile faded, and her gaze towards He Chuyue became nervous: "Is this the case you handled?"
With an unchanged smile, He Chuyue frankly accepted the gazes of Gu Qianqian and the people around her, "Yes."
The divorce case between Es Bai and her husband was the first case after He Chuyue became a senior lawyer. Due to the man's sophisticated means of transferring assets, the lack of actual evidence, and the fact that there were only three weeks left before the end of the appeal period, the difficulty was extremely high. Therefore, He Chuyue played an indispensable role in finding the details and winning the case, and thus gained a firm foothold in HC.
However, He Chuyue labeled Gu Qianqian's divorce case as an ordinary asset dispute. She did not understand why Gu Qianqian changed her attitude after hearing that she was Manager Bai's assistant lawyer. She just thought that the client was not confident in her business ability.
"Miss Gu, do you have anything to say to me?"
"Yes." She asked the others to leave until they were the only two in the RV. Gu Qianqian spoke, her tone tearful, "You thought it was just a simple celebrity divorce case before, right? What if I tell you, it's not?"

When going to the filming location near the pavilion in the center of the lake, Duan Zeming couldn't help but find the right opportunity to meet Xiao Zhiyan.
"I was stunned when I received the call from my mother yesterday. I thought she wanted to match me up, but it turned out that she was attracted by you. I was so happy for nothing."
Seeing that Xiao Zhiyan looked uninterested, he increased his speed.
"Let me tell you, this high school classmate of mine is really different! He was the top student in his high school class and had a high EQ. He was admitted to Peking University with ease! His graduate studies at China University of Political Science and Law was as easy as drinking cold water. I really envy his amazing life."
Perhaps Duan Zeming's emotions were too obvious, Xiao Zhiyan turned his gaze to him: "You should express your demands to your aunt."
"What's the point of me expressing myself? People just don't think highly of me, okay?" Duan Zeming became even more excited when he said this, and his voice became much louder.
"She had a crush on someone in high school, he was simply a male god, okay? He was a senior who graduated in 2018. He won many certificates while in school. It was common for him to win first place in national competitions. During the college entrance examination, many schools were vying for him. He was not interested in being admitted to Peking University. He took the exam on his own. But guess what happened to my classmate? Two years later, she also applied for the same law major. Now they are both famous lawyers, the golden boy and girl in the legal world! Does HC know? They have been involved in cases worth tens of millions!"
"oh."
The sunlight was too dazzling, Xiao Zhiyan raised his eyelids.
"Don't do that. I'm telling you, this classmate of mine is really good-looking. You'll definitely be unable to take your eyes off her once you see her. Hey, that's what you look like now!"
Duan Zeming noticed something was wrong, and looked in the direction he was looking. He was stunned to see He Chuyue talking to someone under the shade of a tree. He patted Xiao Zhiyan without caring about the strength of his hands.
"Damn it, Lao Xiao! I'm so lucky, I should go buy a lottery ticket today! She is the classmate with high IQ and EQ and stunning looks that I told you about! He Chuyue!"
