Shi Nanzhou frowned for a moment before asking, "Why?"
"Of course it's because the longer the night, the more dreams you have." Wang Xue explained, holding her chin with one hand, "My father has a very sharp eye. If I keep it a secret any longer, he'll find out."
"It's strange to say. Your father has been in the legal profession for so many years and has seen all kinds of people. Yet, you actually deceived him with such a lie."
Shi Nanzhou also expressed doubts.
In the legal profession, whether you are a litigation lawyer or a non-litigation lawyer, you deal with people.
Wang Xue's father is a veteran in this industry with a sharp eye. Logically, he shouldn't believe such a crude lie.
What's more, their acting skills are really not that good.
"That's because I've never lied to them since they were little!"
Wang Xue stiffened her neck and spoke with confidence.
Shi Nanzhou smiled and said, "I didn't expect your family relationship to be so harmonious."
"Of course!" Wang Xue admitted generously, "I'll treat you to this farewell dinner. When I get home, I'll tell my dad we're breaking up so I can sleep well."
"Should I thank you, then?"
"You're welcome. You're a lawyer, so you don't need my meal."
Wang Xue didn't play tricks with Shi Nanzhou.
Make your request and express your gratitude.
Shi Nanzhou looked at her and didn't answer at first.
"Oh, of course. We can talk about this kind of thing after dinner. Let's eat first."
Wang Xue stood up from her chair and pointed to the door, "I'll go mix the condiments."
She walked out the door.
Shi Nanzhou had no intention of staying alone in the box.
Today is Saturday, and there are a lot of customers in the hot pot restaurant. The tables outside are almost full.
There were four people standing in front of the confectionery table closest to their box, surrounding the entire table.
After the condiment table was a little empty, the two of them went about their own business.
Wang Xue left first.
She had only taken a few steps when she saw a familiar figure in the aisle.
"Ouch?"
Wang Xue retreated back the way she came and stood back next to the small condiments table.
"What's wrong?"
Shi Nanzhou was also preparing to leave.
"Look, I told you that you and your white moonlight are destined to be together. You can meet each other anywhere."
Wang Xue was holding something in her hand and just raised her chin towards Jian Shuang.
Shi Nanzhou looked over.
Jian Shuang stood in the middle of the aisle, with a waiter standing beside her, who seemed to be accompanying her to find customers.
When the two men were looking at Jian Shuang, the woman also looked over.
Jian Shuangxian turned around and said something to the waiter with a smile, then turned and walked towards the two people.
To be precise, it was heading towards Nanzhou.
"Nanzhou, my friend just said he saw you guys coming to this restaurant. I happened to have something to tell you, so I came to find you."
Jian Shuang spoke, his eyes completely fixed on Shi Nanzhou.
It was as if he didn't notice Wang Xue next to him at all.
Wang Xue didn't want to be a light bulb, so she turned around and was about to leave...
The man was quick to grab her arm and said, "Let's go together."
"Don't be together. I see you have something to talk about, and it's not convenient for me to be here."
Wang Xue thought to herself, since she didn’t eat a single bite of the food, it would be fine to leave the private room for them.
The waiter who had just come over came over and offered to help the two of them take the small condiment plates back to the private room.
Shi Nanzhou still held onto Wang Xue and replied to Jian Shuang, "I've said everything I needed to say. I don't think we have anything more to say."
He looked at Wang Xue again and said, "Let's go back."
Wang Xue stood still.
She actually knows that she is not the most popular type among men.
Willful, strong-willed, unwilling to bow down, especially when it comes to words.
During a previous lawsuit, there was a presiding judge who favored the opposing party and kept interrupting her. She directly scolded the presiding judge in court.
Later, it was her father who helped her settle the matter.
Because of this, she was certain that Shi Nanzhou would definitely not like her.
And she...
I don't necessarily dislike Shi Nanzhou forever.
What she just said, "The longer the night, the more dreams you have," also has this meaning.
Shi Nanzhou saw that Wang Xue didn't leave and asked her, "What are you doing? Do you have something to talk about?"
"No, I just feel that Miss Jian came to see you specifically, and you left her here? That's not manly."
Wang Xue usually doesn't speak up for Jian Shuang.
Unless it benefits you.
Shi Nanzhou's brows furrowed even deeper.
When the three of them were stuck here...
"You are... Shi Nanzhou, right?"
A voice sounded from the side.
The three of them looked over at the same time.
A man wearing casual clothes and with a slightly overweight body came out from nowhere.
"Are you... Peng Jian?"
The first one to speak was Jian Shuang.
The fat man is indeed called Peng Jian
He then looked at Jian Shuang, staring at the woman's face for a long time, opening and closing his mouth several times.
It seemed as if he didn't recognize her.
"Me, I'm Jian Shuang."
Jian Shuang fiddled with her hair and smiled beautifully.
She came to see Shi Nanzhou today specifically. She had delicate makeup on and was wearing a long halter dress that was particularly simple and elegant. Two thin straps hung on her shoulders, revealing her round shoulders, and her collarbone was particularly obvious with her breathing.
"Ah, you're Jian Shuang! You've changed so much, I didn't recognize you at first." Peng Jian suddenly realized, "That's right, with Shi Nanzhou, there won't be anyone else except you."
Wang Xue had never cared about the specific past of Shi Nanzhou and Jian Shuang before.
She understands now.
They are middle school classmates.
Jian Shuang smiled slightly, not embarrassed at all.
When she first entered college, she was fooled by a senior student and became addicted to facial micro-adjustments.
It’s normal that her high school classmates didn’t recognize her.
