Chapter 34 He was uneasy when she didn't answer the phone...
Nighttime, on the street.
Nanxia strolled along the street with Zhizhi and her male best friend. Because Zhizhi was so beautiful and wearing a white tulle dress, she attracted a lot of attention.
She took the dog out in the afternoon, took it to the park, and even took it to the pet store for a bath.
"How long are you planning to stay at your ex-boyfriend's law firm?" Mu Bai asked her.
"We'll leave after we get our revenge," Nan Xia said.
"You really don't plan to reconcile with Song Yanzhi?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Hmm." She responded expressionlessly. Their personalities clashed, and besides, he preferred gentle and obedient women.
"Then you'd better be careful under Zhou Yuanming's nose. Don't let him discover your background, or he will definitely do anything to get you."
"Also, just let me know if there's anything I can help you with." Mu Bai poked her forehead worriedly, but Nan Xia slapped his hand away.
"Okay, I've taken Zhizhi back. You can go back too."
-
When Nanxia dropped the dog off at the man's apartment, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
When she reached his door, she bent down and patted the dog's head, saying, "Be good, okay? I'll take you out to play again tomorrow."
Zhi looked at her with a happy expression. She must have been tired from playing in the afternoon, because she was still panting with her tongue hanging out.
She straightened up, entered the password directly, and didn't bother waiting for him to open the door.
She had only pressed three numbers when the door suddenly opened. Song Yanzhi, with half a cigarette between his fingers, stood blocking the slightly ajar doorway and looked at her, saying:
"It's late, you should go home now."
Nan Xia sensed the urgency in his tone. If it were in the past, he would definitely have let her into the house... Could it be that he brought his assistant home?
"Zhizhi, come in." He turned to the side and called to Gouzi.
Zhizhi knew this was her home, so she obediently went inside. She then turned back to look at Nanxia and softly called out to her, wanting her to come in too.
"Stop yelling, I'll take you to play again tomorrow, I'm leaving now."
Nan Xia waved to the dog, glanced at the man, and was about to leave when Lin Yi's voice suddenly came from inside the house:
"Song Lu, do you have guests?"
Fearing that her assistant would see her and she wouldn't be able to explain herself, Song Yanzhi had no choice but to immediately close the guest room door and utter two words, "Servant."
maid?
Nanxia smiled when she heard his voice, then turned and left. It was his freedom to bring someone home.
Don't let someone affect your mood.
Just do your own thing!
The following morning.
Nanxia received a call from Mr. Wang, whom she had met at the last cocktail party, who wanted her to be the group's legal representative. They signed the contract that afternoon.
Mr. Feng's lawsuit has been postponed because Mrs. Feng was injured and unable to attend court.
Early Monday morning, she took her assistant and Mr. Wang by plane to City A. He needed to sign an acquisition contract and required a lawyer to be present.
In business class, Mr. Wang, who was sitting next to her, still spoke to her very politely:
"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Attorney Nan this time. After we sign the contract, you'll need to help the HR department with the layoffs. I'm worried that some employees might not cooperate and cause trouble. I estimate we'll have to stay in City A for a few more days."
“Since we signed the contract, these are all my responsibilities,” Nan Xia said. “It’s a good opportunity to change my mood while I’m away from home.”
There's no need to watch those two showing off their affection.
"To be honest, I admire women like Attorney Nan who are career-oriented, don't play the victim in front of men, don't depend on men, and are decisive in their actions," Mr. Wang said with a smile.
"Mr. Wang is too kind." She smiled slightly. Although her phone was off, Song Yanzhi had called her several times.
It was already past 10 a.m., and Song Yanzhi noticed that she hadn't come to Ruifeng again. He tried calling her several times, but her phone was off. He frowned. Where had she gone this time?
When I brought Zhizhi back the night before last, she said she was going to take the dog out to play on Sunday, but I didn't even see her.
He glanced at half of the contract, couldn't concentrate, picked up his phone again, called the law firm's front desk, and asked after the call connected, "Is Attorney Nan at the law firm?"
"I haven't seen Nan Lu come over," the secretary replied respectfully.
"Go ask her assistant where Nan Xia went this morning?" he asked again. "Why would her phone be off so early in the morning?"
“Nanlu’s assistant isn’t at the law firm either,” the secretary replied again.
The assistant isn't here either?
Song Yanzhi hung up the phone, paused for a moment, stood up, put one hand in her pocket, walked to the French window, and dialed her mother directly.
The call connected quickly, and he asked directly, "Hello, Auntie, Nanxia didn't come to work today. Where did she go?"
“I saw her pack her bags last night, saying she was going to City A on a business trip,” said Nan’s mother.
"Okay, I understand." Song Yanzhi frowned, hung up the phone. What lawsuit required going to City A?
There was a sudden knock on the conference room door. He answered, and the door opened. Lin Yi walked in; the swelling on her face had subsided.
"Didn't I tell you to take a day off to do housework?" he said, looking at the woman who walked in.
“I called my parents, and they insist on forcing me to marry that man. They even said they would come and arrest me… I’m scared and I don’t dare to go back…” Lin Yi started crying as she spoke.
Song Yanzhi leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed, listening to her family affairs with a calm expression.
“Song Lu, can I be your nanny? I can cook, do all kinds of housework, and take good care of your dog. I just want to find a safe place for the time being.” She took the opportunity to ask again.
"Don't you have any savings?" he asked coldly, even though her monthly salary wasn't low.
“My parents take all my money every month, leaving me only a little for living expenses.”
Song Yanzhi picked up his phone and transferred 10,000 yuan to her via WeChat, saying, "Go rent a place yourself."
The day before yesterday, I took her to a hotel, but she suddenly called me in the evening, saying that her parents were coming to arrest her, and she cried pitifully, asking me to take her in for the night.
That's when he took her home.
“They know I work at a law firm, and they’ll follow me to my new place. They’ll definitely beat me to death…” Lin Yi didn’t take his money, and lowered her head, sobbing softly again.
Song Yanzhi frowned impatiently. Considering that she had been his assistant for two years, he could only take her in for the time being and find her another law firm later.
I got home after get off work.
Lin Yi was cooking dinner in his open kitchen, and every now and then she would steal a glance at the aloof man sitting on the sofa. She couldn't believe it was real!
We must seize this opportunity...
Song Yanzhi held his phone and dialed Nan Xia's number again, but no one answered.
This is the seventh phone call he has made to her today.
What are you doing? Why aren't you answering?
He sent her another WeChat message: "Answer the phone."
After waiting for a while without any response from the phone, his handsome face grew even colder, and his eyes revealed a hint of worry.
Nanxia was wearing a bathrobe and sitting on the large bed looking at the acquisition company's information when she saw the phone call from the man.
I also saw the WeChat message he sent.
I just don't want to answer or reply to messages.
Song Yanzhi remained calm and sent another message: [Work-related.]
Nan Xia picked up his phone, glanced at it, and smiled. He wasn't someone without his own opinions; if there were really problems at work, he would have handled them himself long ago.
Still no response.
He brought his female assistant home, but instead of getting along with her properly, why does he keep calling me?
