Chapter 315 So you like this one
The man, dressed in a suit and tie, is clearly a highly capable elite.
Upon hearing the introduction, Mo Ziqian greeted him, "Hello, Mo Ziqian."
Zhou Mubin glanced at Mo Ziqian and scrutinized him for a few seconds.
He's very handsome, the kind of handsome that even men would find attractive. Most importantly, he exudes a sense of righteousness.
The kind of righteousness that turns evil into righteousness.
Zhou Mubin casually asked, "What do you do?"
Mo Ziqian sat sideways, his body ramrod straight; of all the people in the room, he was the only one who didn't look like a spoiled brat.
Mo Ziqian said, "The presiding judge was just transferred from the Gangcheng Court."
Zhou Mubin was genuinely taken aback. No wonder this person seemed so fair and impartial; it turned out he was the newly arrived presiding judge.
His friend was very satisfied with the person he had chosen and said proudly, "Brother Zhou, let me tell you, this guy of mine is the youngest presiding judge in history. Moreover, his mother is in politics and his father is in business. He's more than a match for our Assistant Cui."
From this perspective, Mo Ziqian's qualifications are indeed quite good.
If you're looking for a boyfriend for Cui Xiao, then this is how it should be done.
Zhou Mubin joked, "We're practically colleagues."
Unexpectedly, Mo Ziqian didn't interrupt and laughed, "We can't be considered colleagues, Attorney Zhou."
After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other.
The bar was lit by an ambiguous amber light, and music filled the air, mingling with the swaying dance moves of handsome men and beautiful women.
A subtle atmosphere was slowly brewing between the two men.
After a moment, his friend urged, "Brother Zhou, why don't you call Assistant Cui and ask her to come over and take a look? Maybe you'll hit it off."
His friend raised an eyebrow, signaling Zhou Mubin to bring Cui Xiao over.
Zhou Mubin remained calm, leaning back on the sofa with a lazy air. "Assistant Cui is picky; she might not be interested in Judge Mo."
Mo Ziqian remained silent.
He didn't really care whether he came or not.
If his family hadn't been pressuring him so much, and if he hadn't wanted to find a wife with whom he could have a marriage of convenience, he wouldn't have agreed to come today.
In other words, even if the other party comes, they may not agree to a marriage of convenience with him.
But his friend was eager, "Brother Zhou, give him a call! Whether Assistant Cui approves or not is another matter, but you have to let him meet you."
Zhou Mubin was getting annoyed by the nagging. "Fine, stop nagging."
As he spoke, Zhou Mubin took out his phone and dialed Cui Xiao's number.
At this hour, Cui Xiao was getting ready to take a shower and go to bed when she unexpectedly received a call from Zhou Mubin.
She answered the phone, letting her long hair fall loose. "Lawyer Zhou, is something the matter?"
Zhou Mubin crossed his legs and asked, "Where is it?"
Cui Xiao: "At home."
Looks like it's time to go to sleep.
Zhou Mubin felt a little more at ease. "Didn't you want to get married? I'll introduce you to a reliable man. Now that we're together, come over and have a chat if it's convenient for you?"
Based on his understanding of Cui Xiao, there was absolutely no way she would come.
Zhou Mubin was absolutely certain of this, and the reason he made this call was because he was forced by circumstances.
But the next second, Cui Xiao's voice came through the receiver, "Send me an address."
Suddenly, Zhou Mubin paused.
Did she agree?
What is Cui Xiao up to?
Zhou Mubin's smile faded, and his brows furrowed. "Weren't you going to sleep?"
Cui Xiao: "Tomorrow is Saturday, so I can stay up a little later tonight."
Zhou Mubin's face darkened, but fortunately the lighting was dim so that no one would notice.
Forty minutes later, when Cui Xiao pushed open the door, her fingertips still carried the dampness from outside.
It's raining, a light, misty drizzle.
Her gaze swept past the bustling figures in the dim light, landing precisely on the man sitting in the center of the red sofa.
He was the man she had secretly loved for eleven years.
Cui Xiao suppressed the indescribable bitterness in her throat, strode forward, and said in a perfectly relaxed tone, "Lawyer Zhou."
Zhou Mubin noticed her as soon as he entered the room.
When Cui Xiaoting stood in front of him, he had only one feeling: she had dressed up carefully, and even her dress was a dress he had never seen before.
Elegant and gentle.
Zhou Mubin never imagined he would use those two words to describe the capable Cui Xiao.
Zhou Mubin's eyes lit up, then quickly dimmed again.
Just as he was about to speak, his friend eagerly stepped forward, gesturing for the man behind him to come forward. "Assistant Cui, let me introduce you to my good buddy, Mo Ziqian. He's handsome, incredibly talented, and most importantly, has zero romantic experience. He's an absolute gem."
Upon hearing this, Mo Ziqian smiled and extended his hand, which Cui Xiao generously returned.
Cui Xiao: "Hello, my name is Cui Xiao. I was Zhou Lu's former assistant, and I've now moved to East Asia Group as the chief secretary-general."
Mo Ziqian's lips curled into a smile at Cui Xiao's wit and humor. "Miss Cui, I wonder if you still remember me?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mubin immediately perked up his ears.
Did they know each other before?
Cui Xiao paused, then looked her over carefully. "Excuse me, have we met before?"
Mo Ziqian, a gentleman, smiled and said, "Last week, on the path on Hejian Road, your heel got stuck in a manhole cover, and I helped you pull it out."
This reminder made Cui Xiao suddenly remember what happened that day, and she was very surprised. "So the kind person who helped me that day was you."
Mo Ziqian: "No story is complete without a coincidence."
The two started chatting, from work to their professions, then to recently released movies and their shared love for niche bands, and the atmosphere gradually warmed up.
Zhou Mubin sat on the high stool next to him, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the cold glass. His gaze fell on the slightly upturned corners of Cui Xiao's mouth when she smiled, and his eyes gradually turned cold.
I never noticed before that she loves to laugh.
She can laugh and talk with other men, but when it comes to him, she's always lifeless, as if he owes her millions.
Just then, a waiter brought over the whiskey he had ordered. The pale yellow liquid was poured into a glass, with a mint leaf floating on top, like the emotions he was suppressing in his heart at that moment.
It looks glamorous, but that's not actually the case.
Zhou Mubin drank one cup after another, listening to the two chatting enthusiastically, unable to get a word in edgewise.
He became even angrier.
The matchmaker was extremely satisfied and didn't forget to boast to Zhou Mubin, "Brother Zhou, what do you think of my eye for talent? Assistant Cui is clearly interested in Mo Ziqian. Maybe we'll be able to attend their wedding soon, and we'll have to be honored guests then."
He kept chattering on and on, which only made Zhou Mubin angrier.
He caught a glimpse of Cui Xiao and Mo Ziqian chatting animatedly, which made his heart feel even more heavy.
He downed the entire glass of whiskey in one gulp.
Later, Mo Ziqian went to the restroom, and the person who had been standing between Zhou Mubin and Cui Xiao was gone. His gaze was direct and intense. "Having a good chat?"
Cui Xiao, holding her juice glass, glanced at him and smiled slightly, "The person introduced by Lawyer Zhou is naturally quite good."
He forced a smile, his face stiffening with an inexplicable anger, and could only take a sip from his glass. "So you like this one."
