Chapter 511 A riot of colour
Xiao Zhuan's expression changed and he turned his head stiffly.
After seeing that the person standing at the door was He Miaomiao, Xiao Zhuan was completely numb and frowned, "Why are you here?!"
As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Tuo, who was standing behind He Miaomiao, spoke up: "What are you talking about, you bastard? Lawyer He is my honored guest. Why don't you go make some tea?"
Xiao Zhuan gritted his teeth, feeling dissatisfied, but still listened to Xiao Tuo's words and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
He would rather work in the kitchen than face He Miaomiao.
Xiao Tuo said to He Miaomiao with a smile: "Lawyer He, this brat of mine seems to be rude to everyone. Don't pay attention to him. Come and sit down."
He Miaomiao smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, I won't take it to heart."
After they sat down, Xiao Tuo looked at Huo Yunting and said with a smile, "Boss Huo, the lawyer He you introduced to me this time is really professional. If she hadn't been reluctant, I would have invited her to work at our Xiao Corporation."
Huo Yunting smiled and said, "Everyone has their own aspirations. Lawyer He told me that she prefers debating with the opposing lawyer in court and the feeling of litigation."
While they were talking, Xiao Zhuan came over with a few cups of tea.
When he placed the tea in front of He Miaomiao, He Miaomiao smiled and said, "Sorry to bother you, Third Master Xiao."
Xiao Zhuan had a fake smile on his face, "It's not a bother, it's my duty."
After saying this, Xiao turned around and left, then went straight back to his room and didn't come down until dinner time.
Seeing that Xiao Zhuan was sitting far away from He Miaomiao, Xiao Muzhen felt a little confused. Why did he always feel that her third brother and He Miaomiao seemed to know each other?
But he acted as if he didn't want to have anything to do with the other party.
Just as Xiao Muzhen was puzzled, Huo Yunting beside him picked up a piece of fish for him and whispered, "Eat well first. When we get back, I'll tell you what you want to know."
Xiao Muzhen turned around in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief. Did he know what I was thinking?
However, Huo Yunting didn't look at her, but chatted with Xiao Tuo. He only looked at her out of the corner of his eyes and put some food into her bowl from time to time.
After the meal, Xiao Tuo looked at Xiao Zhuan who seemed ready to slip away and said in a deep voice, "You want to go out?"
Xiao Zhuan nodded quickly, "Yes, I have an appointment with my friend."
Judging from his expression, he seemed afraid that Xiao Tuo would ask him to stay.
"In that case, please send Lawyer He back."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhuan's expression suddenly became indescribable. He frowned and said, "Don't you have a driver at home? I'm in a hurry!"
Before Xiao Tuo could speak, He Miaomiao lowered her eyes and said, "Since you are Mr. Xiao, I can take a taxi back if I have something to do. It's okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Tuo frowned and said, "What could possibly happen to him? He just hangs out with those friends all day long, eating, drinking and having fun. Let him take you back, so I can feel more at ease."
Xiao Zhuan wanted to refuse, but He Miaomiao said with an embarrassed look, "Boss Xiao, please don't make things difficult for Third Young Master Xiao. I know he doesn't want to send me off. It's okay. I can go back on my own."
Seeing Xiao Tuo's face become even uglier, Xiao Zhuan sneered in his heart. After not seeing each other for a few years, this woman has become more scheming than before.
Now that things have come to this, if he doesn't send him back, Xiao Tuo will definitely not let him go out.
He took a deep breath and forced a smile.
"It's okay, Lawyer He. It's okay if I go a little late. I'll take you home."
He Miaomiao turned her head to look at Xiao Zhuan, and saw that he had an ugly expression, but she had to suppress her anger and smiled with raised eyebrows.
"Young Master Xiao, didn't you say you were in a hurry?"
"It's okay, it won't take too long! And since you're my dad's attorney now, it's only right that I give you a ride!"
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Xiao Tuo's eyes. He looked at He Miaomiao and said, "Lawyer He, see you tomorrow."
After saying hello to a few people, the two left the Xiao family one after the other.
Xiao Tuo looked at Huo Yunting and Xiao Muzhen, "Zhenzhen, I have something to tell Mr. Huo. You and your mother can chat in the living room for a while."
"good."
After the two entered the study, Xiao Tuo looked at Huo Yunting with a serious expression and said, "Jin Yue is obviously taking action against the Huo and Xiao families now. What are you going to do next?"
Huo Yunting's face turned cold, and his voice was cold, "Of course, it's better to strike first."
Xiao Tuo frowned, "But Jin Yue has always been very careful in what she does. I've already sent people to investigate, but they haven't found any evidence of Jin Yue's crime at all."
"Boss Xiao, don't worry about this. I have my own way. You just need to take care of your own affairs now."
"The Tang family does things by any means necessary, so you must be careful."
"I see. Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for reminding me."
Xiao Tuo was silent for a moment. Then he said slowly, "I have one more thing I want to tell you."
…
On the other side, after Xiao Zhuan drove out of the Xiao family villa, he found an intersection where he could get a taxi and stopped the car.
He opened his wallet, took out a few hundred-yuan bills and handed them to He Miaomiao, saying expressionlessly, "Take this money and take a taxi back."
He Miaomiao glanced down at the money he handed over and chuckled, "Young Master Xiao, is this how you usually treat people?"
Xiao Zhuan's eyes flashed with impatience. He didn't want to talk nonsense with her anymore. He stuffed the money into her hand and said coldly: "Get out of the car. Don't make me say it again!"
He Miaomiao sneered and threw the money directly into his face.
"You should save this money to see a doctor and buy medicine to cure your mental illness!"
After saying that, He Miaomiao pushed open the door and got out of the car, slamming the door loudly with a bang.
Xiao Zhuan tightened his grip on the steering wheel, anger flashed in his eyes, and then he started the car and left.
Looking at the increasingly smaller figure in the rearview mirror, his expression became increasingly gloomy, not at all as cheerful as he had imagined.
After Xiao Zhuan's car disappeared from her sight, He Miaomiao took a taxi and went straight to Xie Guan's house. She rang the doorbell for a long time before Xie Guan came to open the door.
When he saw He Miaomiao, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Junior Sister He, why are you here?"
He Miaomiao smiled and said, "Xie Senior Brother, do you mind if I go in for a cup of coffee?"
Xie Guan pursed his lips and stepped aside, "Come in."
Ten minutes later, He Miaomiao picked up the coffee that Xie Guan handed over, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Xie's coffee is still so delicious."
Xie Guan looked at her with inquiry in his eyes.
"Junior Sister He, you came here today just to have a cup of coffee, right?"
He Miaomiao put down her coffee, looked at him and said, "Xie Senior Brother, the reason I came here today is to ask you why you took on Jin Yue's case?"
Xie Guan's expression changed. "How did you know?"
"I am now Mr. Xiao's attorney."
