The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became somewhat awkward.
Xu Wan knew that Su Qiong was drunk, and to prevent her from saying anything more, she raised her voice and said, "Attorney Su, you are drunk."
Su Qiong looked confused for a second, then realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly pretended to be drunk, saying, "Huh? What did I just say?"
Yuan Shuxin genuinely believed that Su Qiong was so drunk that she had forgotten even that Jiang Tingzhou had died.
With a serious expression, he rebuked Su Qiong: "After all these years, your alcohol tolerance is still not good. Drink less in the future."
"No, I'm not drunk." Su Qiong picked up the half-full glass of wine in front of her and said to Yuan Shuxin, "Come on, have some more."
Ke Shanshan then realized what she had done and stuck her tongue out at Xu Wan, "Attorney Xu, I'm sorry, I just said too much."
Xu Wan shook her head. "It's nothing."
Yuan Shuxin didn't drink with Su Qiong. He glanced at Xu Wan and said, "Xu Wan, although so many years have passed and it's not appropriate for me to speak for him, no matter what, Attorney Jiang and I have been friends for many years. He helped me a lot back then. It's a pity that such an outstanding person passed away so young. But I hope you can get over it. If you encounter any difficulties in opening your law firm, or if you need any help, you can tell us."
After what just happened, Su Qiong has sobered up.
However, she still propped her chin up with her hand and said with drunken eyes, "Attorney Yuan, Attorney Xu has started his own practice, and what he needs most is manpower. Why don't you send two people to help him?"
Xu Wan quickly waved her hand: "No need, Tian Yuan's salary is high, his reputation is great, and he has many cases. Going to my place would reduce my income."
Yuan Shuxin reassured him, "It's alright. If you're short-handed, I can lend you a few people. Yuan will pay their salaries every day."
"Need not……"
"Don't mention it. You can lend it to me. I've been looking for some free time lately."
Su Qiong interrupted her and was the first to speak.
Pei Zhao, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up: "Senior Sister Xu, if you don't mind, I can help you too."
Ke Shanshan immediately chimed in, "Me too! Me too!"
Xu Wan declined the offers of kindness from her former colleagues one by one.
Meanwhile, Jiang Tingzhou arrived at Ling Ya's place, where Jiang Tingsen was also at home.
So many years have passed, and Sen Sen is now in the fifth grade of elementary school, but her academic performance is not very good.
He attended a boarding school, and when he came home on Fridays, he would show his grades for the week, which often made Lingya and Jiang De angry to the point of heartache and stomachache.
Lingya invited Jiang Tingzhou to her house for dinner today.
When Jiang Tingzhou arrived, Ling Ya had just finished looking at Sen Sen's grades for the week and was still seething with anger when he arrived.
Ling Ya casually rolled up Sen Sen's exercise book and hit Jiang Tingzhou with it. "Jiang Tingzhou, you still know how to come back?! You still have the nerve to come back?! Why don't you stay abroad and be your Ryan? What are you doing back here?!"
Jiang Tingzhou remained silent at this point.
Sen Sen glanced at the man sitting in the wheelchair at the door, a man whose appearance was completely different from her older brother.
She looked at Lingya with a terrified expression, picked up her phone, and asked, "Mom, are you sick?"
"What's wrong?" Lingya asked Sensen.
Sen Sen is in fifth grade this year and has already grown to 1.78 meters tall. He stood up and stood between Ling Ya and Jiang Tingzhou, and earnestly persuaded her: "Mom, I know that my brother's disappearance has been a big blow to you, and I also know that I did not do well on the test this week. My grades are not comparable to my brother's back then, but I promise that I will work hard and will not let you down."
Lingya looked at him, her expression somewhat subtle.
Sen Sen continued, "But you have to promise me you'll find time to see a doctor, okay?"
"I……"
"Shut up!" Ling Ya stopped Jiang Tingzhou as soon as he was about to speak, and said excitedly to Sen Sen, "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean your brother is missing? When did your brother disappear? He's right here! He just broke his leg while skiing a while ago and can't walk anymore."
"Mom... don't get agitated, I'll call the hospital right now." Sen Sen apologized to Jiang Tingzhou again, "Uncle, I'm sorry, my older brother has been missing for several years. My mom wasn't like this before, she might be missing him too much lately..."
"Uncle what uncle? He's your brother! What are you doing making that call? Get out of here right now, I'm fine, I have something to say to him!"
Lingya seemed very excited, and as she spoke, she pushed Sensen towards the door.
