Chapter 114 I overheard her phone call with Zhou Yuanming
-
night.
Nanxia's face was still swollen and she didn't want to go out. Right now, she was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, eating a big red apple and watching TV.
"You hurry up and book a room yourself. I don't want the client to know that we're sleeping in the same room tonight. What if she goes around saying things?" she said to the man next to her.
Song Yanzhi crossed his long legs, leaned back on the sofa with a cool demeanor, and smoked a cigarette. He turned to look at her and said, "Does she have that much free time? Why does she care whether we sleep together or not?"
He couldn't wait for his mother to see him sleeping with her at night, so that she would stop making him go on blind dates.
“Don’t let Mrs. Song’s age fool you; women, no matter how old, are naturally gossipy,” Nan Xia said.
"What's your impression of her?" he asked, taking the opportunity to look at the woman.
"Madam Song is a typical person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. I find that she is a bit like you. Once you get to know her, she is quite easy to talk to."
"When I first met her, look how high and mighty she was, always looking down on everyone else like ants," she said, pouting.
"Although she is aloof and doesn't easily get close to people, she is still very kind-hearted," Song Yanzhi told her.
"Are you having an affair with her? Why are you speaking up for her like this?" Nan Xia asked, raising an eyebrow. Madam Song was not only beautiful and had a great figure, but also had a very noble air about her.
Song Yanzhi frowned and poked her head with one hand, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Just then, her phone, which was on the coffee table, suddenly rang. Song Yanzhi glanced at it and saw Zhou Yuanming's name on the screen.
Why would that old fox call her so late?
Nan Xia immediately took it, went to the bathroom in the inner bedroom, closed the door, and then pressed the answer button, "Hello, what's up?"
"Attorney Nan, where did you and Attorney Song go? I haven't seen you all day," Zhou Yuanming asked in confusion.
“I’ve brought him onto the cruise ship. Tomorrow morning, take your law firm colleagues and leave early. I’ll keep him occupied and prevent him from returning to the city,” she said in a low voice.
Zhou Yuanming was astonished. How did she manage to lure that man onto the cruise ship?
This woman is truly extraordinary!
"Did you ask how to win this lawsuit?"
"Not yet. I'm planning to get him drunk tonight and see what happens. Don't call again, what if he gets suspicious?" she coaxed the old man.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. As long as you win this case, you'll definitely get your share of the benefits." Zhou Yuanming said to her and quickly hung up the phone.
Nan Xia hung up the phone, opened the bathroom door, and was stunned to see Song Yanzhi standing there with a calm expression.
"What are you doing standing here? It's immoral to eavesdrop on other people's phone calls." Feeling guilty, she started by causing him trouble.
Song Yanzhi only heard what she said, not what Zhou Yuanming said on the phone. He coldly guessed...
"You brought me on board because you didn't want me to go to court against Tian Ruifeng?"
Nanxia looked at him, her head aching, and frowned. How could she possibly fool him?
"Of course not, I just don't dare to come to the cruise ship alone. You see, I didn't even bring Shen Yan on board. Doesn't that mean I trust you more?"
Do you think I'd believe such a weak explanation?
Song Yanzhi stared at her intently, deeply disappointed in her. She had actually become Zhou Yuanming's accomplice, conspiring to frame him.
He had previously refused to believe it.
They were so close that he thought she wouldn't team up with others to deal with him.
Now I've really been proven wrong.
"Attorney Nan, you're quite the actor." Song Yanzhi looked at her and laughed, then asked curiously, "How are you planning to keep me on this ship tomorrow? Knock me out? Or throw me overboard?"
Nan Xia looked at him, her delicate brows furrowed, and asked only, "Are you really that eager to help Ruifeng?"
"Whether I help Ruifeng or not has nothing to do with your partnership with Zhou Yuanming. You're good at shifting the blame." Song Yanzhi didn't want to listen to her sophistry anymore. After saying this in a deep voice, he turned around and strode out of the guest room.
"Song Yanzhi!"
Nanxia frowned and called out to him, then chased after him to the door, grabbing his hand to explain. But he coldly shook off her hand and walked away without looking back.
For some reason, I felt a little empty inside, and I really didn't want him to misunderstand.
When he was bothering her, she found it troublesome; now that he's gone, she feels empty.
Nan Xia stood at the door, watching his disappearing figure, her feelings a mix of emotions—
When Song Yanzhi arrived at the party, he ran into his mother and asked coldly, "Weren't you going to set me up on a blind date? Where is she?"
Looking at her son, who was gloomy, Madam Song raised an eyebrow and asked, guessing, "Did you have a fight with that girl? What happened?"
"If there's no reason, are we still going to go on this blind date or not?" he asked impatiently in a cold voice.
Mrs. Song thought to herself, "Let them argue. Maybe this is a chance for my son to get away." She took out her phone and dialed a friend's daughter.
The girl had a crush on her son and, knowing he was traveling here, specially accompanied him.
Not long after, a girl in a red dress and with exquisite makeup arrived at the party. When she saw Song Yan there, her eyes lit up instantly.
She had a lovesick look on her face.
"Hello, Brother Yanzhi, my name is Su Yue, I've known you for a long time..."
Song Yan glanced at her from head to toe. She was clearly very young and had an adorable appearance, but she insisted on acting mature and charming. He had absolutely no interest in this infatuated little girl.
But I also want to get back at that woman!
Do you really think no woman likes him?
"How old are you?" he asked in a deep voice.
"I just turned twenty this year." Su Yue looked at the handsome and mature man, her palms sweating with nervousness. He actually spoke to her!
"You haven't graduated from university yet, have you?" Song Yanzhi asked again in a casual tone. Nan Xia graduated from a prestigious university at the age of twenty, just like him, having skipped many grades during her studies.
"Not yet..." she replied nervously.
"Instead of studying properly, you're running around here playing. Your grades must not be very good, right?" Song Yanzhi asked again.
Su Yue's face immediately turned somewhat embarrassed and awkward. Her grades were indeed not very good; she just wanted to get a diploma.
Madam Song suddenly nudged her son with her elbow. Was he really on a blind date, or was he picking on the other person?
This girl is clearly very well-behaved and obedient, and her father is also a government official. Her circumstances are not bad. How embarrassing is it for her to speak to her with such disdain?
"I...I'm going to the restroom." Su Yue walked away without much confidence. She felt so inferior in front of her idol.
We can't even find a common language, and it seems like we're being looked down upon.
When she arrived at the restroom, she stood in front of the sink, looked at herself in the mirror, and frowned. What kind of person did he actually like?
The bathroom door suddenly opened, and a woman in a black dress but wearing a mask walked in. She abruptly said:
"If you want to be Attorney Song's woman, you can't attract him with just your looks. I have a packet here. Give it to him to drink. Only if you two consummate your marriage tonight will he take responsibility for you..."
