Ye Xinning was somewhat surprised, "How do you get along with your brother?"
"He's great, but I feel like he doesn't talk much," Ye Zhimu said, offering her opinion. "However, when I left, I invited him to come visit us sometime."
Ye Xinning nodded and praised, "Very good."
Ye Xinning originally thought that the conversation should end here, but Ye Zhimu asked her a question in a soft and sweet voice that surprised her.
"Mom, why did you leave here in the first place?"
Ye Xinning fell silent briefly because of this question, unsure how to explain it clearly.
"It's nothing, I just feel that I need to find a direction and a way out for my current confused life."
"Mom, it's too profound, I don't understand."
"It's okay, whether you understand or not isn't that important," Ye Xinning said, ruffling Ye Zhimu's hair.
...
For the next few days, Ye Xinning was busy with this case.
On Friday afternoon, Ye Xinning met with her client.
The meeting place was a coffee shop. Ye Xinning prepared all the relevant materials, but the other party had not yet arrived when she got there.
She didn't urge her, and just sat attentively in her seat reading the documents.
Not long after, someone on the other end spoke up, "Hello, are you Attorney Ye?"
Ye Xinning looked up. The newcomer was wearing a red coat, with long hair draped behind her. Her makeup was exquisite, and her eyes and brows revealed a hint of aloofness. When she greeted her, she had a faint smile on her lips.
Ye Xinning only knew that her client was a woman, but she didn't know that the other party was so beautiful, a typical aloof beauty.
"Hello, Ms. Tong." Ye Xinning stood up, extended her hand, and greeted her generously.
Tong Shier is the client in this economic case she is handling.
Tong Shier is a comic artist with a distinctive style, but not long ago, her work, which she posted on her personal social media platform, was stolen by a film company and used in the promotional activities of a movie it invested in.
"Hello, Attorney Ye, please have a seat."
After they sat down, Ye Xinning took the initiative to speak, "Ms. Tong, I have reviewed all the relevant materials regarding your case, and I have also sent you my introduction via email. If you have no further questions, let's get down to business."
"no problem."
Since that's the case, Ye Xinning got straight to the point.
The two first sorted out the case, and Ye Xinning then spoke with Tong Shier in person to understand her requirements.
"First, have the person in charge of the film's publicity apologize. As for compensation, Attorney Ye knows more about it than I do."
Ye Xinning had seen this requirement before, but the reason she brought it up with Tong Shier again was mainly because she was a little confused. In cases like this, isn't compensation usually the first step?
But the person in front of me seems to care most about the person in charge of film publicity?
Ye Xinning smiled and said, "Okay, I understand what Miss Tong means."
Tong Shi'er crossed her arms, raised an eyebrow slightly, and asked Ye Xinning, "How confident are you?"
"The more Miss Tong trusts me, the more confident I am," Ye Xinning said with a smile.
"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
...
After parting ways with Tong Shier, Ye Xinning stood there watching her figure disappear from sight.
Just as I was about to leave, my phone suddenly rang.
She took out her phone; the caller was Cheng Yuhuai.
"Hello, Director Cheng."
Ye Xinning spoke, and Cheng Yuhuai's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Are you busy?"
"I just met with my client, Ms. Tong," Ye Xinning said softly.
"Really? How did the chat go?"
"Not bad. It's a case where both parties have built trust, so I don't think it will be too bad."
"If that's the case, then why does Xinning look unhappy?"
"Unhappy? I'm not unhappy..."
Ye Xinning stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.
She gripped her phone tightly. How could Cheng Yuhuai say she looked unhappy?
unless……
She looked around and sure enough, across the street, Cheng Yuhuai stood with one hand in his pocket, holding his phone, waving at her with a warm smile.
Ye Xinning, "..."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yuhuai walked over and quickly stood in front of her.
"So, did you like this surprise?"
Ye Xinning never expected that Cheng Yuhuai would appear in Nancheng.
To be honest, she feels more frightened than surprised.
What brings you here?
"I miss you." Cheng Yuhuai's three straightforward words instantly froze Ye Xinning's expression.
Why is it that after leaving Jiangcheng, this person has become even more... irresistible to her?
She kept her head down and didn't speak. Perhaps sensing her embarrassment, Cheng Yuhuai smiled softly.
“I have a case on my hands, and some of the key pieces of evidence involve companies in the southern part of the city.”
Hearing this, Ye Xinning breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, I have a job.
"Did you just arrive? What are you doing here?" What she really wanted to ask was whether he knew she was meeting Tong Shi'er here, which was why he came.
But asking such a question carries a certain ambiguity.
"This is my first time in Nancheng, and it's a completely unfamiliar place for me. That's why I asked you to take me out to eat."
Ye Xinning, "..."
As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face, and besides, the other party was her boss, so Ye Xinning had no choice but to nod.
"Okay, then wait here for me for a moment, I'll go get the car and then take you to eat."
...
On the way to dinner, Ye Xinning asked Cheng Yuhuai about his preferences, but Cheng Yuhuai said, "You decide."
Having no other choice, Ye Xinning went to a restaurant she used to frequent.
Undoubtedly, Cheng Yuhuai was a very tactful and polite person. Throughout the meal, he didn't say anything that would put Ye Xinning under pressure. He would tell her which dishes were delicious and would refill her glass when it was empty. Occasionally, he would bring up things about the law firm, all of which were trivial matters, but they made the atmosphere between the two less awkward.
In summary, Ye Xinning had a relatively relaxed meal.
As the meal drew to a close, Ye Xinning got up to pay the bill, only to be told by the waiter that it had already been paid.
Footsteps came from behind her. Ye Xinning thought it was Cheng Yuhuai coming over, so she turned around and spoke.
"Didn't I say it was my treat? Why..."
Ye Xinning stopped speaking the moment she looked up.
Looking at the man standing in front of her, she subconsciously rubbed her forehead.
She never realized before that Nancheng was so small, so small that she could run into Shen Lin just by going out for a meal.
She averted her gaze, avoiding looking at Chen Lin, and strode forward.
Just as they were passing each other, a deep, magnetic voice rang out, "Hey you over there, your suitor? Your taste has gotten so bad lately?"
