Chapter 4 Is the child really Song Lu's?
The colleague put down the wine bottle, glanced at Nan Lu and Song Lu across from him, and didn't dare to ask in public. He immediately pulled a colleague he was close to out of the private room.
After being taken to the bathroom, she clutched her chest excitedly, panting heavily, yet also conflicted about whether or not to tell him.
But if she didn't tell this shocking secret, she would definitely suffocate!
Seeing her like this, her colleague asked with a speechless laugh, "Why did you suddenly drag me here?"
Do you know what I just heard Attorney Nan say to Attorney Song?
“Aren’t they mortal enemies? What can you say?” she said with a laugh.
"Nan Lu asked Song Lu who picked up their daughter from school, and then asked if she had eaten dinner obediently!"
Upon hearing her words, the female colleague was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out of her head, her mouth gaped open wide enough to fit an egg, and she stammered:
"Did you hear me clearly? You can't just say things like that!"
“Our law firm has a rule against office romances. If this gets to Director Zhou, either Attorney Nan or Attorney Song will definitely have to leave.”
This regulation was personally established by the Song Dynasty law authorities a long time ago.
Just then, the bathroom door suddenly opened, and Lin Yi, who had overheard their conversation outside, immediately pushed the door open and went inside.
"You really heard that there's a child in Nanxia?"
“…Hmm.” Her colleague glanced at her and could only respond with a soft reply.
"Even if she has a child, it absolutely cannot be Song Lu's..." Lin Yi clenched her hands tightly, warning him with unwavering disbelief.
"You'd better not spread rumors about Song Lu. He would never like that Nan Xia! How could that woman be worthy of Song Lu?"
"I heard it with my own ears," the female colleague said, pursing her lips. She disliked this woman, who, just because she was Song Lu's assistant, usually acted arrogantly in the law firm.
Does she really think she's the boss's wife?
"Then why don't you go and ask her yourself?" Lin Yi asked with a sneer, arms crossed.
The female colleague immediately fell silent; she dared not ask in public, as that would offend both bosses.
"Hmph, even if that woman really has a child, it must have been secretly born because of her indiscretions. Have you ever heard her talk about dating?"
I heard she was married?
She's so famous, who knows how many bosses she's slept with.
"I wonder whose child that is," Lin Yi said to them disdainfully.
The two women glanced at her but remained silent; they dared not speak ill of the new boss.
This woman's crush on Song Lu is all too obvious—
The following morning.
The news that the two of them had a child quietly spread throughout the law firm. Song Yanzhi overheard it when he went to the break room to get coffee.
"What were you saying just now?" he asked, his eyes sharp as he looked at them.
"N-nothing." The employees immediately lowered their heads, trembling with fear. They didn't dare to say anything in front of Lawyer Song, and they had no evidence.
"If you spread rumors and gossip in the law firm again, you'd all be fired," Song Yanzhi warned them coldly. After they responded, they immediately left the break room.
Nan Xia was in her office, having just finished a phone call with a client, when the landline rang again. It was Song Yanzhi.
He said there was something very important and asked her to come over.
"Next time you have something important to do, Attorney Song, please make the effort to come to my office. I'm not your subordinate!"
Nan Xia, wearing eight-centimeter stilettos and a black suit dress that accentuated her sharp waistline, walked briskly to his side, grabbed the armrest of his chair, turned to face him, and plopped down on his lap.
He grabbed his tie and hit him, saying coldly.
She enjoys teasing this aloof and steady man because she dislikes him and can't get away with bullying him in any other way.
All I can do is tease him and play with him.
Hmph, you ignored me last night and acted all high and mighty. I'll teach you a lesson today!
Song Yanzhi watched as the woman smoothly settled into his lap, his brows furrowing slightly—he nudged her gently and coldly reminded her:
“Attorney Nan, this is the law firm.”
Nan Xia grinned mischievously, wrapped his tie around his neck, and suddenly pulled him closer. "It's more exciting at the law firm."
"Are you going to get up or not?" he asked the woman.
"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point. I'm busy, or I'm leaving," she urged impatiently.
Song Yanzhi was helpless against this woman his whole life; she was incredibly shameless. He was her nemesis, and she was his nemesis too.
“The employees overheard what you said last night. Find an opportunity to explain yourself to them, so they don’t spread rumors and affect the firm’s regulations,” he said in a deep voice.
"Did the employees really hear it?" she asked.
Song Yanzhi lit a cigarette and gave her a "what do you think?" look.
Nan Xia's eyes suddenly became somewhat deep. If she explained, wouldn't that old fox Zhou also know that she had dated this man?
At last night's gathering, Old Fox Zhou left after a few drinks; thankfully, he left early.
I haven't even started seeking revenge on him yet; I can't let him lose trust in me.
He knew that he and Song Yanzhi were sworn enemies, and that Song Yanzhi had been recruited specifically to work together against him. But the old man was unaware that he had come specifically to deal with him!
idiot.
"If they find out we've been in a relationship, won't it cause a huge uproar in the entire legal profession? What's the point of explaining that?"
"Knock knock—" There was a sudden knock on the office door.
Song Yanzhi pushed the woman off his lap and deliberately pressed her under the desk, intending to teach her a lesson. Didn't she like excitement?
"Come in," he uttered coldly.
Nan Xia was annoyed; this was the first time she had ever crawled under a table.
Just as I was about to climb out, a large hand pressed down on my head and shoved me back under the desk! What the hell is that bastard doing, forcing me under the desk?
Was it intentional?
They're colleagues now, what's there to hide?
The office door opened, and Lin Yi walked in with some documents. She glanced around the office and was surprised. She clearly saw a woman come in, but she couldn't see anyone else.
"Attorney Song, these are the documents that General Manager Wang sent. Take a look..." She handed them over.
Just as Song Yanzhi took it, Nan Xia suddenly pinched his inner thigh from under the table! The nerves there are the most sensitive and painful.
She never engages in internal strife; she always settles scores on the spot.
"Hiss..." Caught off guard, Song Yanzhi involuntarily gasped, frowned, and gritted his teeth.
"Song Lu, what's wrong?" Lin Yi asked, puzzled, when she saw him suddenly inhale.
"It's nothing, you can go now," he said dismissively.
"Yes..." she replied respectfully, and as she walked to the door, she glanced back, as if she had a feeling that the woman was still in his office.
Who is that woman?
Song Lu dislikes her so much, there's absolutely no way she could be that woman Nan Xia. Yesterday, the two of them were so close, it must have been Nan Xia seducing him.
shameless!
After the office door closed, Nan Xia was about to crawl out from under the desk when the man's leg blocked her way. She pushed it forcefully.
"Get it away from me."
