Chapter 349: I Won’t Marry Him
Shu Huai's phone was vibrating on his lap. He knew without thinking that it was a message from the group. The protagonist of their discussion must be him.
"Your phone has been ringing for a long time, don't you want to check it?" Xu Mengyun was originally talking to Shu Ziming, but suddenly her eyes turned to Shu Huai. She leaned close, and her breath fell on his neck, making him feel hot and numb.
Shu Huai unconsciously tightened his grip on the phone and turned his head away.
"Nothing to see." Shu Huai turned his head and met Shu Ziming's playful eyes.
Shu Huai immediately avoided making eye contact with him. He felt uncomfortable sitting in the middle of the two people.
Fortunately, the car arrived at the destination quickly.
The Chongde Hotel was already full of people, and Xu Mengyun was the first to get out of the car and go in.
"Are there any more boxes?"
There was no one in Cuiyang who didn't know Xu Mengyun's face.
When the waiter saw her, he hurried to check, "Miss Xu, there is another private room on the second floor."
"Take us there."
"Why is this restaurant so popular?" The hall was very busy and there were almost no empty seats.
"Chongde is a century-old restaurant. It's also very popular online. We don't take reservations, so you can only wait for a seat on site. We're lucky today, and we have a private room."
Xu Mengyun explained to Shu Yue.
They took the elevator to the second floor and the waiter took them all the way to the end of the corridor.
"Ms. Xu, this way please."
The waiter pushed open the door of the box, only to find someone already inside.
"What's wrong with you?" The waiter inside hurried to the door. "There are already guests in this room, why are you bringing them here?"
"I just checked on the computer and found that there was no one in this private room, so I brought the guests here, and Miss Xu..." As she spoke, she glanced behind her at Xu Mengyun.
Seeing this, Xu Mengyun smiled and said, "The box is occupied, right? Then let's go to another place."
Xu Mengyun didn't care about it and turned around to leave, but someone suddenly stopped her.
"Mengyun."
The person who spoke walked out of the box and quickly came to Xu Mengyun's side.
Hearing such an intimate name, Xu Mengyun frowned and looked over.
The man looked to be in his early thirties, wearing a light-colored windbreaker and glasses, and was very gentle.
"Qu Lin." Shu Yue recognized the man at a glance.
"You know all these people?" Fu Jingshen looked at Shu Yue, his eyebrows slightly raised.
"I also read the news and newspapers. There was a case when lawyer Qu Linqu returned to China two years ago. A rich second-generation man was drunk and killed a family of three. The rich second-generation man used his connections and spent a little money to be released after being imprisoned for two years. The whole Internet was scolding him at the time, and of course, I scolded him too." Shu Yue remembered that case clearly.
"Qu Lin, who had just returned to China at the time, accepted to fight the lawsuit for the victim free of charge. The compensation of 500,000 yuan was raised to 2 million yuan, and the sentence was 10 years in prison. He immediately became an internet celebrity, and Qu Lin even had his own Weibo super topic."
"I know this too, and I know something even more exciting." Shu Ziming came closer, looking very mysterious.
"What's even more exciting?" Fu Jingshen also became curious.
When Shu Ziming said this, he looked at Shu Huai, trying to see some clues from his expression, "Qu Lin is Xu Mengyun's fiancé."
Hearing what he said, Shu Huai didn't show any special expression and didn't care at all.
"When did Mr. Qu return to Cui Yang?" Xu Mengyun subconsciously took a step back and kept a distance from him.
"I just got back yesterday." Qu Lin replied with a chuckle.
"Are you guys going to eat? This box is quite big. There are only three of us, my friend and I. If you don't mind, you can come together. It's my treat."
"No, we don't have to eat here." Xu Mengyun refused.
Qu Lin was obviously lost for a moment.
"Then..." Qu Lin wanted to say something, but was worried that he couldn't find a reason. He glanced and saw Fu Jingshen. He raised his eyebrows slightly and walked towards Fu Jingshen.
"Mr. Fu, what a coincidence."
Seeing Qu Lin coming over, Shu Yue looked at Fu Jingshen beside him in confusion and asked, "Do you know him?"
"I didn't say I didn't know him." Fu Jingshen smiled and said, "Let me introduce you to our Fu's legal advisor, Lawyer Qu Linqu."
Qu Lin shook hands with Fu Jingshen, "Is Mr. Fu coming here for dinner too?"
"Miss Xu brought us here." Fu Jingshen deliberately directed the conversation to Xu Mengyun, which was exactly what Qu Lin was thinking.
"I was thinking of treating you, Mr. Fu, to a meal when I return to Beijing. Since we meet in Cuiyang by chance, I have to treat you today no matter what." Qu Lin smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
Xu Mengyun can reject Qu Lin at will, but Fu Jingshen cannot, because Qu Lin is Fu's legal adviser after all.
Fu Jingshen took Shu Yue and followed.
Shu Ziming and Shu Huai naturally went in together, leaving Xu Mengyun standing at the door.
"Miss Xu..." the waiter called her in a low voice.
Xu Mengyun's cheeks were slightly red, and she was a little dissatisfied. "Next time, don't rashly bring guests in before you check everything clearly."
After saying this, she also entered the box.
Qu Lin specially reserved a seat next to him for Xu Mengyun.
"Mengyun, sit here." He motioned Xu Mengyun to sit over.
Xu Mengyun ignored him and walked to Shu Huai's side, "Kid, give me a seat."
Shu Huai frowned slightly, said nothing, stood up and walked to Qu Lin and sat down.
Seeing this, Qu Lin coughed lightly, then awkwardly picked up the menu on the table and handed it to Fu Jingshen.
"Mr. Fu, please order whatever you want to eat. It's my treat."
"Then I won't be polite to Lawyer Qu." Fu Jingshen took the menu with a smile.
"This must be Miss Xu, right?" Qu Lin's friend said to Xu Mengyun, "Miss Xu is prettier in person than on TV."
"Thank you." Xu Mengyun nodded politely.
"Lawyer Qu is so lucky to have such a beautiful fiancée."
"Ms. Xu, you don't know that all the photos on our lawyer Qu's desk are of you. His computer wallpaper and phone wallpaper are also of you. Lawyer Qu is a well-known love-brained person in our law firm, hahahaha."
The two people were talking to each other, Qu Lin's ears turned slightly red, and his eyes fell on Xu Mengyun.
"Mengyun, don't listen to their nonsense."
Xu Mengyun crossed her arms and glanced at Qu Lin with a half-smile, "Are you talking nonsense?"
"Of course not. Lawyer Qu is just thin-skinned. Look, he's blushing. I didn't expect that Lawyer Qu, who is usually aloof and serious, would be so shy when meeting his fiancée, hahahaha."
"When are you two going to hold your wedding? Everyone in our law firm is waiting for the feast."
Xu Mengyun frowned when he heard this and was interrupted by Qu Lin just as he was about to speak.
"Mengyun is still in the rising stage of her career, and an official announcement will have an impact on her career. However, the wedding should be held in the next two years, and I will definitely send you an invitation at that time..."
"I won't marry him."
