Chapter 336 Putting Her Matter First
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Xu Li hurried back.
When he saw Jiang Yao, his eyes lit up. He straightened his clothes and hair before slowing down his pace and walking forward. "Sorry to have kept you waiting! I heard you had a case to discuss with me. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Jiang Yao looked up and saw him in a hurry, and she became more and more confused. "Are you rushing back from the airport? Aren't you going to that big case in Hong Kong?"
Xu Li's face froze for a moment, but he quickly explained, "No, I discovered some problems with the case. I was planning to refuse the call and turn back, but I just happened to know you were coming."
Although what he said seemed quite reasonable, she still felt it was a little strange, but Jiang Yao suppressed it calmly.
"Then let's talk about my case..."
Jiang Yao then told him what he wanted to ask of him.
"No problem." Xu Li agreed immediately.
Jiang Yao was surprised. "This Ji Wanqing is probably not a good person. Are you really willing to help me observe her?"
"I've taken on so many cases and met all kinds of people. I'm pretty confident about this. Just give it to me if you're confident!"
Xu Li's eyes were filled with a determined glint, and he extended his hand towards her, "I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
Jiang Yao was touched and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
After discussing the cooperation, Xu Li sent her downstairs, "Do you need me to take you downstairs?"
"No need. I've taken up a lot of your time. You should do something else first." Jiang Yao said goodbye to him with a smile.
Only when the figure disappeared from his sight did Xu Li reluctantly look away and turn to look at the assistant, "You did a great job this time."
"It was you, Lawyer Xu, who instructed us that if Miss Jiang comes here, everything else will have to take a back seat. She is important to you." The assistant said sternly.
"There's no need to talk about this kind of thing."
He knew he had no chance and had no intention of disturbing her happiness.
But I still want to do my best to help her.
This feeling cannot be taken back easily.
Xu Li turned around and prepared to go back. At this moment, a petite figure came bounding in from outside the door. She was surprised when she saw him, "Xiao Xu, aren't you on a business trip? Could it be... you are deliberately lying to me to avoid me?"
The girl's face was full of emotions, and Xu Li saw her gloomy and lost look clearly.
He felt a little helpless, "Keke, don't overthink it, I just canceled the cooperation due to something urgent."
The girl in front of him was Qin Keke, his junior when he was studying in his hometown. She had just come to the city this year to look for a job. The elders in his hometown asked him to help take care of her, so he found her a place to rent and introduced her to a simple job.
However, Qin Keke may have misunderstood him because of this. During this period, she made soup and sent him meals every now and then, and her attitude was very positive.
Since the other person didn't confess directly, he couldn't refuse too bluntly.
"Really?" Qin Keke knew that he was not avoiding her on purpose, and her eyes suddenly sparkled, "Then I'll come back tomorrow to bring you food!"
"No..." Before he could finish his refusal, Qin Keke exclaimed, "I'm going to be late for work. I came over to see you out of habit, but now I have to go back, otherwise my boss will scold me. Bye, Brother Xu."
After saying that, she hurried away.
Xu Li felt helpless and turned back to the office.
…
Jiang Yao, after returning to the laboratory, was still thinking about Xu Li's abnormal behavior.
Is she too sensitive lately?
"What's wrong, Yaoyao?" Everyone in the group also noticed her abnormality and asked her with concern.
Jiang Yao thought about it and realized that they had had contact with Xu Li before.
Maybe a bystander can see more clearly!
She briefly recounted what happened today. "Do you think Lawyer Xu deliberately turned down other cases to help me? If so, why did he do that?"
"Maybe he's kind-hearted!" Ning Sheng thought of the last time his mother was scammed, "just like he helped me last time."
"What kind of straight-man mentality are you?" Lian Yingying rolled her eyes at him and blurted out, "It's because he likes Yaoyao and puts her first that he helps you so much..."
After he finished speaking, the scene fell into silence.
Lian Yingying turned around and saw Jiang Yao's shocked expression. She then realized something was wrong. It was too late for her to cover her mouth. She suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Jiang Yao's expression was sharp: "Yingying, what makes you think so? Are you guessing, or do you know something?"
Lian Yingying suddenly felt guilty and regretful.
But facing Jiang Yao's oppressive gaze, she had no choice but to confess.
"I only started to suspect something because I accidentally noticed that he looked at you with deep concentration and affection. Later, I promised to keep it a secret for him, and he agreed to help Ning Sheng with the lawsuit... I'm sorry, Yaoyao, I didn't mean to hide it from you."
Jiang Yao's expression was complicated.
But before she could say anything, a man's indifferent voice came from the door, "Why, he hasn't given up yet?"
Jiang Yao turned around in surprise when he heard that, and saw Li Beiting coming in from outside with a food box in his hand.
In order to monitor Jiang Yao's healthy diet, he has been sending food to him almost every day.
And he made it with his own hands.
Such a considerate and kind man is rare.
At first everyone was teasing me, but now we've gradually gotten used to it.
"You know what I'm saying, don't you?" Jiang Yao looked up at him in surprise.
Li Beiting calmly walked over to her and sat down. He opened the lunch box and placed it in front of her. He said calmly, "I have some guesses."
"Senior Li, someone is coveting Yaoyao, but you are not jealous or angry?" Lian Yingying was very surprised.
I have the impression that Li Beiting has a strong possessiveness towards Jiang Yao.
Li Beiting merely raised an eyebrow and said in a matter-of-fact tone, "This only proves that Yaoyao is charming enough to attract people. I accept all honest challengers, except for villains like Lu Xuan."
This attitude made Jiang Yao look at him with some respect.
It seemed that he had become more confident and dazzling since he confessed his feelings last time.
Jiang Yao held his chin and stared at his angular profile, becoming more and more fascinated the more he looked.
Until the man suddenly turned around and met her eyes.
The burning affection in his eyes made her heart burn.
Jiang Yao hurriedly looked away, picked up the spoon and pretended to concentrate on drinking the soup.
Looking at the interaction between the two that seemed to be about to draw a thread, Lian Yingying rubbed her arms, then turned around and glared at Ning Sheng fiercely.
How come other people’s boyfriends are so good at flirting?
The one in her house is made of wood!
Comparing yourself with others will really make you angry!
Ning Sheng looked puzzled, but still asked with concern: "Are you hungry too? Why don't we go eat too?"
Lian Yingying took his hand and walked away with a smile.
