Chapter 67 She can spend every day with Shen Yan now
With Chu Rou around, Qu Jie felt a little awkward. She lowered her eyes and said, "Of course you'll go home when you're discharged from the hospital!"
"Then come home with me." Shen Luo shook Qu Jie's hand.
Chu Rou looked away and stared at the roof. She really asked for trouble by coming here to be fed dog food.
Qu Jie pulled her hand away. "I'll go back to D City after you're discharged from the hospital. I won't be back until after the New Year."
Her parents had been urging her to come home for a long time, but Qu Jie kept putting it off in order to take care of Shen Luo.
Upon hearing that Qu Jie was going back to D City, Shen Luo instantly lost her spirits.
Chu Rou glanced at Chen Luo sideways, "If you're so reluctant to part with him, I'll just pack you up and send you to D City."
Qu Jie pursed her lips, suppressing a laugh.
Shen Luo snorted and, seeing that only Chu Rou had come over, asked, "This is really strange today. Why isn't Mo Chi with you?"
This time it was Chu Rou's turn to be dejected. "He went back to City B today."
"I knew it! How did you find the time to come see me?" Shen Luo scoffed. "Why didn't you go back with him?"
"The court hearing is tomorrow, and I have to attend," Chu Rou said casually.
"What court hearing?" Shen Luo asked.
Chu Rou then remembered that she hadn't told her family about Ye Xia's plan to burn her alive, and it seemed that Shen Yan hadn't mentioned it either.
She gave a brief account of what happened that day.
Shen Luo and Qu Jie were greatly shocked after hearing this.
"Ye Xia is so wicked! She did something wrong, why did she have to push the blame onto you and even try to drag you down with her!"
Shen Luo regretted his past blindness in choosing Ye Xia. If it weren't for him, his sister wouldn't have been able to get close to Ye Xia, and she wouldn't have almost been killed by Ye Xia.
"Xiao Luo, don't tell Mom about this." Chu Rou was afraid that Shi Jingman would worry.
Shen Luo nodded.
Chu Rou sat for a while longer when Shen Yan called, wanting to explain some matters related to tomorrow's court hearing.
She then drove to Shen Yan's law firm.
I ran into Huang Shan at the entrance of the law firm.
"Sister Chu Rou!" Huang Shan was delighted to see Chu Rou and took her arm. "Did you come to see Brother Shen Yan?"
"Yes," Chu Rou glanced at the lunchbox in Huang Shan's hand, "Are you here to bring lunch to Brother Shen Yan?"
Mentioning Shen Yan, Huang Shan deflated like a punctured balloon. "Brother Shen Yan is so hard to approach. He ignores me and won't eat the food I bring him."
Um... Chu Rou thinks Huang Shan is pretty good, and she and Shen Yan are actually quite well-matched. Their personalities, one lively and the other calm, complement each other perfectly.
"Let's go up first!"
Chu Rou and Huang Shan entered Shen Yan's law firm.
This was Chu Rou's first time here, but Huang Shan was very familiar with the place, even knowing the other lawyers and assistants inside.
She smiled and greeted everyone.
Huang Shan led Chu Rou to Shen Yan's office. The door was open, and the two of them stood at the door and knocked.
Shen Yan looked up and saw Chu Rou and Huang Shan standing together at the door. He asked with some confusion, "Did you come together?"
"Brother Shen Yan," Chu Rou greeted first, "Shan Shan and I met downstairs."
"Brother Shen Yan!" Huang Shan placed the lunchbox she brought in front of Shen Yan. "You haven't eaten yet, have you? I passed by Pin Shan Fang and brought you some food."
Shen Yan looked at the food in front of him and got a headache. He didn't know where this little girl came from, but she came to see him every day recently and even brought him food. Everyone else in the law firm thought she was his girlfriend.
"Huang Shan?" Shen Yan called out the name uncertainly.
Huang Shan nodded happily, "Brother Shen Yan, you finally remembered my name!"
Shen Yan sighed, "We're not close, can you please stop sending food over?"
Huang Shan was already used to Shen Yan's attitude. "I'll get to know him after I come a few more times!"
Shen Yan frowned; he didn't know how to resolve this matter.
“Brother Shen Yan,” Chu Rou couldn’t stand it anymore, “Shan Shan came all this way to bring you food, it’s not easy for her, can’t you be a little nicer to her?”
"Uncle Chen said you often don't eat on time and have developed stomach problems from hunger. Shan Shan only started bringing you food on time every day after she found out."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yan looked up at Chu Rou and asked, "Did you send her?"
"More or less!" She and Mo Chi were one, and she acquiesced when Mo Chi sent Huang Shan over.
"Uncle Shen asked me to take care of you, but I'm too busy with work, so I can only entrust this to Shanshan."
"Shanshan is transferring to the law department next semester, so she can ask you for help anytime. It's a win-win situation for you two."
Shen Yan fell silent. In Country A, he had seen many girls who wanted to sleep with him, and he thought Huang Shan was the same.
Because she was Shen Luo's friend, he refrained from speaking ill of her and kept quiet.
It turns out that Huang Shan did it for her studies, or more so for her future career.
For Chu Rou's sake, it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to take on a disciple.
Shen Yan turned his gaze to Huang Shan, "If you have any questions, you can ask me. You can also come here as an intern assistant during your vacation."
"Practice will help you grow faster than learning theory."
Huang Shan looked surprised. Sister Chu Rou's words were so effective. She agreed to let her deliver meals and even stay for an internship!
"Shanshan," Chu Rou nudged Huang Shan, "What are you still standing there for? Quickly thank Brother Shen Yan, he's going to personally mentor you!"
"Oh!" Huang Shan bowed to Shen Yan. "Thank you, Brother Shen Yan."
Chu Rou winked at Huang Shan, hoping she would seize the opportunity.
Huang Shan eagerly stepped forward, took out a lunchbox from the bag, opened it, and handed the chopsticks to Shen Yan, saying, "Brother Shen Yan, you eat first."
Shen Yan took the chopsticks and ate the food his apprentice brought him with a clear conscience. Just as he was about to pick up his chopsticks, he looked up and found Chu Rou and Huang Shan staring at him.
"Would you like some too?"
Chu Rou and Huang Shan both refused, saying, "We've already eaten."
Shen Yan pointed to the sofa, "Then you guys sit down for a while, and we'll talk about the case after I finish eating."
Chu Rou and Huang Shan sat on the sofa chatting.
Huang Shan asked in a low voice, "Sister Chu Rou, what case do you want to discuss with Brother Shen Yan?"
Chu Rou then told Huang Shan about Ye Xia's situation again.
Huang Shan became furious upon hearing this. She slammed her hand on the sofa and exclaimed, "That little bitch is really ruthless! Luckily, Sister Chu Rou, you're skilled, or the consequences would have been unimaginable!"
"She must spend a few more years in jail to teach her a lesson for her vicious heart."
Chu Rou sighed, "I hope she can do well in her studies."
After Shen Yan finished eating, he explained the court proceedings for tomorrow to Chu Rou.
Huang Shan sat beside him, listening attentively and taking notes.
Shen Yan was quite satisfied with his new apprentice's learning attitude.
"That's all the things I need to pay attention to. Just be there on time tomorrow," Shen Yan instructed.
Chu Rou stood up. "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Shen Yan. I'll head back now."
Huang Shan also stood up.
Chu Rou patted Huang Shan's shoulder, "Shan Shan, you don't need to see me off. You stay and learn from Brother Shen Yan."
Huang Shan was taken aback at first, but quickly realized what Chu Rou meant: she could stay at the law firm from today onwards.
"Hahaha!" Huang Shan couldn't hold back and laughed twice. "Sister Chu Rou, my dear sister, take care!"
