Chapter 101 What are you doing here for our law firm's team building event?
-
In the morning, Nanxia signed for an enormous bouquet of vibrant purple tulips at the front desk.
It is breathtakingly beautiful.
"Nanlu, who's apologizing to you? These flowers are so beautiful, and the other person seems quite sincere," the receptionist said with a smile.
Not far away, Song Yanzhi, who was about to leave, heard his secretary's words and his gaze fell on the bunch of glaring yellow roses.
Nanxia didn't see him. She fiddled with the flowers a few times and asked curiously, "Do purple tulips represent an apology?"
"Yes, its flower language is 'apology, regret and cherishing,' which adds the meaning of 'valuing this relationship' compared to yellow roses."
The person who sent you the flowers is expressing remorse for hurting you due to a mistake and hoping to make amends. The secretary spoke with great conviction.
Nanxia felt that her privacy had been completely exposed, and coughed lightly, "You should focus on your work and not worry about useless things."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Song Yanzhi strode over, glanced at her flowers, raised an eyebrow, and asked in a cool, somewhat sarcastic tone:
"Who did something to Attorney Nan that they sent such a huge bouquet of flowers to apologize to you?"
Nan Xia was startled when she saw him suddenly appear, especially since she had overheard what the secretary had just said!
The tension of being caught in the act returned, making her uncontrollably flustered. She forced a calm smile to keep it to herself.
“An old classmate spoke ill of me in front of other classmates, and I found out, so he sent me flowers to apologize.”
"Which old classmate?" Song Yanzhi clearly didn't believe it. Could it be that Shen Yan sent it?
But last night he had his bodyguards stand guard downstairs at her place, and the bodyguards said she hadn't gone out at all.
Was Shen Yan already waiting at her house?
Were they together last night? What did that man do that he needs to apologize to?
"...You wouldn't recognize me even if I told you."
Nanxia felt guilty and nervous again because of this man. She swallowed silently, then suddenly crossed her arms and smiled, saying...
"I didn't expect Attorney Song to be so gossipy."
After laughing, she picked up the flowers and quickly returned to her office. She closed the office door and hurriedly searched the flowers for a card.
We need to destroy the evidence quickly!
If Song Yanzhi catches even the slightest clue, I'll be in trouble again—
Finally, she found the handwritten card from Shen Yan among the flowers. She opened it and glanced at it; he said he hadn't meant to do it last night and hoped she could forgive him.
Just as Nan Xia was about to tear it up, the office door suddenly opened. She turned around and saw that it was him who had come in. She immediately and quietly stuffed the card in her hand into a folder.
"Stop coming to my office all the time. Zhou Yuanming already suspects us!"
Song Yanzhi walked up to her and asked, "Was Chen Yan at your house last night?"
Nanxia could only use her feminine charm to drape her arms around his neck and ask with a pout, "What's he doing in my house?"
She poked his chest again with her finger. "Can you stop making wild guesses for a day? What, are you addicted to catching someone cheating?"
Song Yanzhi removed her hand, rummaged through the flowers several times, but couldn't find the card. He then took out his phone and dialed his mother directly.
Nanxia looked at him, her lips twitching violently. She really wanted to kick him a few times!
When she saw that his phone had been answered and her mother's voice came through, her heart jumped into her throat again!
"Is there anything I can help you with, Attorney Song?" Nan's mother asked.
"Auntie, Shen Yan's phone is missing. Did he leave it at your house last night?" Song Yanzhi asked.
Nan's mother found it strange. Shen Yan's phone was missing, and he was the one who called to ask about it. Why was Lawyer Song asking about it?
Nan Xia suddenly coughed: "Cough..."
When Nan's mother heard her daughter coughing inside, she quickly realized that it might be that Lawyer Song was jealous and had come to check up on her.
“Ayan didn’t come to our house last night, so how could his phone be here with me? Tell him to look for it somewhere else.”
Nanxia smiled slightly upon hearing her mother's answer. She loved her mother to death; she was so smart!
"Okay." Song Yanzhi glanced at the woman and hung up the phone.
"Go ahead and investigate, investigate more thoroughly, okay?" She crossed her arms and looked at the man with a cold snort.
He coughed lightly, put his hands on his hips, and changed the subject in a cool tone, saying, "These flowers are ugly and smelly. I'll have your assistant take them out and throw them away later."
Nanxia ignored his words, then suddenly grabbed his tie and said sarcastically, "Do you still want to install a security camera in my house? To monitor me all day long?"
Song Yanzhi looked at her, raising an eyebrow. "Okay."
"You're so arrogant!" She hit him with his tie, taking advantage of his kindness.
He glanced at his watch and said, "I've arranged to meet my client at a coffee shop. If you dare to stand me up again and sneak off to have dinner with that guy, I'll deal with you tonight!"
After warning her, he suddenly wrapped his arms around the back of her neck, bit her lip, and left.
“…” Nan Xia was stunned. Why was he kissing her so often lately?
They're getting better and better at catching traitors.
There was a deep sense of powerlessness in his presence—would it still be possible to avenge this wrong?
Nan Xia couldn't even imagine what kind of madness he would go through if he knew Shen Yan lived next door!
"Right, I can't always let him catch me cheating and cause me trouble. Can't I catch him cheating too, and give him a taste of his own medicine?"
"It's strange, why has Lin Yi rarely come to see him lately?"
"Should we find some time to give her some pointers?"
-
The following day, all the law firm's employees who had no important work were suddenly asked to go on a team-building trip to a scenic area on the outskirts of the city.
This was Nanxia's suggestion to Zhou Yuanming, in preparation for taking back the lawsuit from her beloved ex-boyfriend.
The law firm hired a large tour bus, and no one was allowed to drive their own car. Everyone had to have team spirit and obey team management.
Nan Xia was dressed in a white tracksuit, her long straight hair tied up high, looking very youthful and energetic. As soon as she got on the bus, everyone stared at her and praised her.
Song Yanzhi sat alone in a row, gesturing for her to sit over. Nan Xia glanced at him and chose to sit opposite him.
What are you talking about? The entire firm is here. If I sit next to him, they'll definitely gossip.
Song Yanzhi was displeased that she didn't sit down, but he couldn't say anything.
Not long after, another man, also dressed in white sportswear and looking very handsome with a shoulder bag, came up – it was Shen Yan!
Nan Xia, who was sitting in the fourth row, spotted him at a glance and blinked in surprise. Why did he suddenly come here?
Song Yanzhi naturally saw him as well, his usually aloof face turning slightly cold.
"Could you make room for me?" Shen Yan asked politely, standing next to Nan Xia.
Nan Xia remained seated, looking at him. Still angry with him from last night, her tone was somewhat cold, "It's a team building event at our law firm. What are you doing here?"
Okay, okay, I was worried that Song Yanzhi would cause trouble and say something inappropriate, and now I'm worried that this man will say something inappropriate too—
Hmm, very good, that's great, you think she's not exhausted enough, huh?
"Ahem... I haven't been on vacation in a long time. I was thinking of going with you guys to have some fun. I called Director Zhou, and he said I'd be welcome to come."
