Chapter 127 Wishing you a speedy marriage into the Shen family and a long and happy life together with Shen Yan.
Song Yanzhi never played this game with them; it was boring. But seeing Nan Xia playing it, he took a dice cup from under the table.
All the employees were surprised. Song Lu never liked playing this game. It seems he was in a good mood today.
As soon as Song Yanzhi put the dice cup on the table, Nan Xia glanced at the time and said, "It's already past ten o'clock, I should go back now, you guys keep playing."
"It's still early, Nanlu, why don't you stay a little longer?" a colleague asked.
"You guys have fun, I'll settle the bill. Any extra charges can be put on my tab." After saying that, she picked up her phone and handbag and left the private room.
Song Yanzhi watched her indifferent back... Was she jealous and angry again?
He wanted to get up and chase after them, but with so many employees watching, one of them called out to him, "Attorney Song, come here!"
I could only play a few rounds with them.
When Nan Xia returned home, her mother, who was sitting on the sofa with a face mask on, excitedly asked:
"Did you see Shen Shaohui's scandal today? It's hilarious! I never imagined he was gay, and the media caught him red-handed. How embarrassing!"
“I designed it, how could I not know?” she said, sitting down on the sofa.
"You designed this?" Nan's mother stared wide-eyed in surprise. Her daughter was truly amazing. This was even more satisfying than killing that old man directly.
She asked worriedly, "Won't that old man find out about you?"
"It shouldn't be a problem, but just in case, you shouldn't go out too much during this time. Be careful and I'm planning to hire two bodyguards, one of whom will stay with you."
"Do you want a male bodyguard or a female bodyguard?" Nanxia asked her mother.
"Of course, it has to be a guy, preferably handsome and cool. I don't want someone ugly."
Nan's mother accepted it without any hesitation, and casually made a small request: to take a handsome bodyguard out shopping, to the gym, and to play cards with her girlfriends every day—how cool would that be?
Nanxia looked at her mother, a row of black lines appearing on her forehead, "You're not allowed to flirt with young heartthrobs, I don't want a young stepfather."
"If I wanted to find one, you would have already had a stepfather."
She pouted as she spoke, when the doorbell suddenly rang. Nan Xia got up and went to the door, peeking through the peephole. Sure enough, it was Song Yanzhi! She didn't intend to open it.
Who is it? Why don't you open the door?
"Don't open the door for that guy surnamed Song," Nan Xia said to her mother. The man who overheard Nan Xia's words at the door frowned.
"What's wrong with you two?" Nan's mother asked curiously.
Nanxia was afraid her mother would side with that man, so she deliberately said to her, "He's having an affair with his assistant and then came to me. What do you think? Should I talk to him?"
“How could Attorney Song be such a person? We shouldn’t have paid any attention to him. Fortunately, we have another option.” Mother Nan was somewhat disappointed in Attorney Song.
How could he have an ambiguous relationship with his assistant?
"Don't open the door for him, and don't pay any attention to him. I'm going to take a shower," Nanxia told her mother before returning to her bedroom.
Outside the door, Song Yanzhi took out his phone and dialed her number, but no one answered for a long time—oh no, he couldn't coax her again.
I rang the doorbell again, but no one came to open the door.
Is Aunt Nan misunderstanding me too, and is she ignoring me?
Suddenly, he thought of his mother, walked a few steps away, and dialed her number. After she answered, he said, "Mom, call Nan Xia and ask her out for a few drinks."
Mrs. Song was sitting on the sofa, sipping hand-ground coffee and watching TV with her husband. Hearing her son's words, she raised an eyebrow and asked...
"What's wrong? You can't get her to agree to meet you?"
“She’s angry with me,” Song Yanzhi said in a deep voice.
"What did you do to make her angry?" Mrs. Song asked curiously. The mature, steady, and cool middle-aged man sitting next to her couldn't help but turn his head to look at her.
Song Jinchen had heard about Nan Xia from his wife; she was quite a character. He had also searched for her online; she was quite famous in the legal field and was also quite good-looking, but her family background was very ordinary.
"I just went to the hospital to see my colleague." I didn't do anything with my assistant, I just went to see her, what's there for her to be angry about?
"That colleague must be a woman, right? Why are you looking at female colleagues for no reason? When did you become so kind?"
Mrs. Song is a very thoughtful person. Her son must have a special relationship with that female colleague, otherwise why would he go to see her?
It's normal that Nanxia ignores him.
"Are you going to help or not?" Song Yanzhi asked, one hand in his pocket, as he lit a cigarette.
"I won't help. Go and reflect on your own." Madam Song hung up the phone with her son. Even if she managed to get Nan Xia out tonight, she wouldn't forgive him so quickly.
Song Jinchen glanced at her and asked in surprise, "So you've accepted Nan Xia?"
"What if they don't approve? Your precious son only has eyes for her. You set him up on blind dates, but he's just playing with her. If you keep wasting time, Nanxia will become even more disillusioned with that guy."
"By then, your son will have no chance of winning her back, and we can forget about having a grandson," Mrs. Song sighed.
Is there any way to get them back together?
"Is it that Nanxia doesn't like our son?" Song Jinchen asked in surprise.
"She's good-looking, has a great figure, can earn her own money, and isn't short of men around her. Why would she have to like your son?"
"That Shen Yan is pursuing her too. The circle of the wealthy is only so big. If she really marries that man, won't she be smug and arrogant in front of us?"
Madam Song also felt sorry for her son, fearing that his wife would be taken away and he would be devastated in the future.
"Call Nan Xia over tomorrow, I want to meet her." Song Jinchen saw that his wife spoke highly of her and wanted to meet her as well.
"Didn't we agree to give her the group's legal representation? Have her come over tomorrow to sign the contract." Mrs. Song said as she dialed Nan Xia's number.
It rang for a long time but no one answered.
Are you asleep?
She sent her a message.
The following morning.
Nan Xia arrived at the law firm very early and rushed out the contract. She only saw Mrs. Song's message last night after she came out of the shower.
Song Yanzhi entered her office, and Shen Leng explained to her, "I just went to the hospital to see Lin Yi, I didn't do anything else."
Nan Xia looked up at him, her expression calm and her tone unwavering.
"This is Attorney Song's prerogative, there's no need to explain it to me. We're not a couple, and besides, this is a workplace, so let's not talk about personal matters."
"How many times have you and Shen Yan secretly gone on dates?" Song Yan asked in a cold tone.
“…I don’t need your forgiveness.” She glanced at him and said.
"I was just being presumptuous. I wish you a speedy marriage into the Shen family and a long and happy life with Shen Yan." He smiled faintly, then turned and left her office.
