Chapter 6 From now on, keep your tail between your legs in front of me!
Song Yanzhi frowned as he listened to his mother's barrage of questions.
"Never mind, bring her over now, I'll take a look myself!" Mrs. Song said excitedly, thankfully her son was normal.
He glanced at the woman beside him who had already broken up with him, having no intention of taking her home, and said dismissively:
"I'm just dating her right now, not marrying her, so what's there to talk about?"
Nanxia smiled faintly when she heard his words. So, he was just talking to her for fun and never thought about marriage, right?
"You didn't just find any woman to act out a scene, did you? You don't want to go on a blind date, do you?" Mrs. Song asked her son angrily.
"No."
"Then bring her back now."
Song Yanzhi hung up the phone and asked her, "Do you want to go?"
"No, we've broken up, there's no need to make a big deal out of this." Nanxia no longer cares about meeting his family, though she used to look forward to it when they were dating.
He never talks about what his parents do or his family background, and I've never asked him.
Perhaps from the very beginning, they lacked confidence in each other to make it to the end.
"I'm going back for a bit. You can eat by yourself."
Song Yanzhi got up and left. He had to go back and explain the lie to his mother to avoid her misunderstanding and causing trouble.
Nanxia cut a piece of steak and put it in her mouth, then picked up her wine glass, took a leisurely sip, and silently reminded herself:
What needs to be done now is to avenge my father—
Nothing else matters!
Suddenly, a figure sat down across the table. She looked up and saw that it was the man's assistant—
Lin Yi!
Wow, this assistant is pretty bold. She sat down without even saying hello.
"Thank you for your help earlier, Nanlu."
Lin Yi immediately thanked her, having just realized that Song Lu had only asked her to pretend to be his girlfriend to drive away her blind date.
Nan Xia raised an eyebrow and smiled, "What are you thanking me for?"
"Thank you for helping Lawyer Song resolve that blind date issue. By the way, Lawyer Song doesn't like being bothered by women. He was just putting on an act with you earlier, Lawyer Nan, don't overthink it."
Lin Yi spoke to her in a seemingly respectful tone, but with the air of a hostess.
"..." Nan Xia glanced at her assistant who was jumping around happily across from her, and then cut another piece of steak and put it in her mouth.
It's obvious, this assistant likes that man.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Lin Yi frowned slightly, then continued speaking.
“Song Lu actually dislikes you. He gets upset every time he sees you. He just didn’t expect that you would switch jobs to our firm to pursue him.”
Nan Lu should maintain his integrity and have self-awareness.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. It's just that I dealt with every woman who bothered Song Lu; I was just doing my job."
After finishing the last bite of her steak, Nan Xia picked up her handbag, stood up, walked to her assistant's side, and suddenly grabbed the back of her head with one hand, shoving it into the steak plate in front of her!
"Ah! Let go, let go!"
Lin Yi screamed in terror, bracing herself against the edge of the table with both hands, trying to lift her head, but she was held down tightly and couldn't lift it no matter what she did.
I feel terrible.
The sauce in the plate was not only hot, but it was also smeared all over my face, making it hard to breathe.
I don't even need to look in the mirror to know that I must be incredibly embarrassed right now.
"First, with your status, you are not qualified to be arrogant in front of me; second, Song Yanzhi has no right to interfere in my private affairs, so who do you think you are?"
Remember this: from now on, keep your tail between your legs in front of me. Try acting like that again next time!
"Oh, by the way, if you want to stay at the law firm, you'd better watch your mouth, okay?"
Nanxia spoke gently with a smile, grabbed her hair, pulled her head up, and slammed it hard into the plate before disgustedly throwing her away.
It would be easy for her to kick this unpleasant assistant out of the law firm, but she was afraid that the assistant would talk nonsense in the firm when she left, so she couldn't expose her relationship with Song Yanzhi now.
She tore off a few tissues, elegantly wiping her hands as she walked out with her head held high, unconcerned about the stares of the guests.
She didn't take her assistant's words to heart.
She knew in her heart whether Song Yanzhi disliked her or not.
Lin Yi, panting heavily, clenched her fists tightly, turned around in a disheveled state to glare angrily at her retreating figure, not daring to utter a single word—
This was the first time she had ever been bullied by people from the law firm!
"Nanxia, you just wait, I'll definitely kick you out!" she vowed angrily.
The following morning.
Nanxia had just reached the entrance of the break room with her water cup when she overheard several employees gossiping about her.
"Do you think that Nan Lü's daughter's father is actually Song Lü?"
"Impossible, right? There's no way they could be together."
"What do you mean it's impossible? It must be Song Lu's doing. I clearly heard it that night!"
"If this news really is from Lawyer Song, it will not only shake the legal community, but the entire country will have to report on it extensively!"
Both Song Law Firm and Nan Law Firm are so famous that the media often talks about how they are openly and secretly fighting and how they are irreconcilable. Now, suddenly, it is said that they have a child. This news is too explosive!
Nan Xia glanced at them coldly, then asked with a smile but with a chill in her eyes, "Have you had enough gossip? Do you want to come and ask me yourself?"
The group immediately turned around and were so frightened that their legs went weak. Embarrassed and terrified, they quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry, Nanlu, we meant no harm, we were just... just curious..."
Nan Xia walked over and gave them a sharp look.
“You’re all in this line of work, so you know that fabricating facts to defame others, especially if the circumstances are serious, can result in up to three years in prison, right?”
Or do you still think I'm incapable of putting you in jail?
Hearing her words, the group broke out in a cold sweat. "Nanlu, we were wrong! Don't worry, we would never dare to spread this around!"
"Get out." She uttered a single word coldly.
Just as the group was about to leave, they suddenly saw Song Lu walk in. Their legs went even weaker, and they didn't dare to breathe loudly before running away.
Nanxia glanced at her boyfriend but didn't say anything.
Song Yanzhi made her a cup of instant coffee and said,
“I’ve already prepared the due diligence checklist. Starting today, we’ll set up a data room at Feichi Technology. Their headquarters is in the suburbs, and it will take two or three hours to get there. It would be best to stay in a hotel there.”
“Investigate Ruifeng first,” she said suddenly.
"Reason." They were acting as agents for Ruifeng, so naturally they were investigating Feichi Technology on Ruifeng's behalf.
She could finally investigate Ruifeng openly and legitimately. It was like finding a needle in a haystack—Nan Xia's lips curled slightly.
My father's death was directly related to Chairman Ruifeng.
