Chapter 10 Wenxi: "My stomach isn't very good, so I can't eat crabs."
Wenxi glanced at her: "It's really not good."
Attorney Jiang smiled and said, "I remember I had Le Hui print it first, so how come you're the one here now?"
The law firm only has three printers, and one of them is frequently out of service.
Sometimes a single case requires printing thousands of pages, and several copies need to be printed, which takes a lot of time and makes people anxious and impatient.
There have been quite a few minor conflicts in the law firm because of disputes over printers.
"Repair the printer."
As soon as Wenxi finished speaking, she kicked the printer.
The high heel slammed into the printer with a loud bang, startling Attorney Jiang.
Everyone at Zhongda knows that Wen Lu is not only good at litigation, but also a master at repairing printers.
When Wenxi was an intern, she would contact the law firm when there were problems with the printer.
Later, as she gained more and more experience and accumulated more prestige, no one dared to ask her to fix printers anymore.
However, Zhongda's legend has been passed down through generations.
Attorney Jiang is also a veteran of Zhongda and knows about Wenxi's skill. He even asked Wenxi for help when he was rushing to court.
Just then, Le Hui came over with a packet of stomach medicine. "Just dissolve it in hot water and drink it. If you still feel unwell, go to the hospital."
Upon seeing Attorney Jiang, Le Hui's expression changed slightly, and her smile vanished.
Wenxi adjusted the printer and calmly took the medicine from Lehui.
“Administrators have their own work; always sitting by the printer affects the efficiency of the rest of the team.” Wenxi: “Jiang Lu, if you’re short-staffed, I’ll talk to the director and ask him to add a few more assistants for you?”
Attorney Jiang: "No need."
She actually has an assistant, and her work isn't so busy that she needs to add more people. She just has an old grudge against Le Hui and is deliberately making things difficult for Le Hui.
Wenxi thanked Lehui and turned to leave.
Halfway there, she suddenly turned around: "That's right!"
Attorney Jiang and Le Hui looked at her.
Wen Xi glanced at the printer and said with a half-smile, "Jiang Lu, you're welcome."
Le Hui didn't quite understand the situation, but seeing Lawyer Jiang's frustrated expression, she felt secretly pleased.
"Attorney Jiang, do you still need me to help you print this?"
Attorney Jiang scoffed, "No need. Someone will handle it later. It won't stop you from contributing to the team."
Le Hui: "Attorney Jiang really has a strong sense of teamwork."
Attorney Jiang was furious.
After taking the medicine, Wenxi's stomach pain gradually subsided.
After the court hearing in the afternoon, Wenxi went straight home from the courthouse.
I saw the sunset painting the sky with color on the road, and I couldn't resist stopping to take a picture.
While saving it for myself, I also sent one to Shang Chen.
Shang Chen: "?"
Upon seeing the question mark, Wenxi knew that Shang Shen probably thought she had sent it to the wrong person.
She didn't explain and just drove back.
I had just finished showering when I received a call from Zhou Ruo.
"Xixi, are you free tomorrow night?"
"have."
"Can you go home for a visit?" Zhou Ruo: "Someone just delivered a box of fresh crabs. I asked my aunt to cook them so we can all have a taste."
"Just me, your dad, and Yan Xu."
Zhou Ruo explained further because of the incident during the three-day homecoming ceremony, fearing that Wen Xi might misunderstand that Yan Zhao was also present.
Wenxi: "Okay."
Wenxi has a sensitive stomach and can't really handle things like crabs, which are considered too cold in traditional Chinese medicine.
She craves seafood porridge, and she always specifically reminds the owner not to put crab in it, but to put in more ginger.
Perhaps it was because Zhou Ruo's voice was so cautious and ingratiating that she couldn't bring herself to refuse.
The next morning, Wenxi woke up to find that Shang Chen had sent her a message the night before.
A screenshot of a notification on a mobile phone homepage indicating that the phone is cooling down.
It's getting colder in Beijing, remember to wear an extra layer.
His meticulous and methodical approach to doing things truly reflects Shang Chen's personality.
Previously, it was her older brother Wen Zhou who would send Wenxi reminders to wear more clothes. Wenxi was a little unaccustomed to receiving a reminder from Shang Chen.
Shang Chen seemed to remember everything about her.
Wenxi changed into a hazy blue sweater and also brought a gray woolen trench coat.
She has fair skin, a tall and slender figure, and walks with a confident stride, looking both stylish and warm.
As soon as I came downstairs, the housekeeper placed breakfast on the table. "Madam, it's gotten colder today, please remember to wear an extra layer of clothing."
Having been reminded twice in the morning, Wenxi couldn't help but ask, "Did Shang Chen ask you to remind me?"
"Yes," the aunt said with a smile. "The master mentioned it to me a while ago, telling me to keep an eye on the weather and remind my wife to wear more clothes."
Wenxi: "He's so thoughtful."
Aunt: "Even though the gentleman is away on business, he always thinks about his wife."
Wenxi curled her lips into a smile.
After getting off work in the afternoon, Wenxi drove to the Yan family's old house.
As soon as I walked in, I saw Yan Zhao crying on Zhou Ruo's shoulder.
When Zhou Ruo saw Wen Xi, she wanted to push Yan Zhao away, but she didn't want to actually do it.
She looked embarrassed and quickly explained, "Zhao Zhao suddenly came home crying. I didn't know beforehand and was just about to send you a message."
Wenxi changed her shoes and sat down on the side of the sofa: "What happened?"
Zhou Ruo's face showed some worry: "Zhao Zhao... has some minor conflicts with Jing Huai."
Wenxi nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.
The aunt handed her a glass of warm water, which she took and sipped lightly.
Yan Zhao was too embarrassed to cry in front of Wen Xi, so she quickly raised her head and wiped away her tears.
"Sister Wenxi, why are you back?"
Zhou Ruo: "I called Xixi home for dinner, and we were going to discuss some things."
Yan Zhao was stunned, and then belatedly realized that the Yan family was no longer her home, but Wen Xi's home.
Her question was very inappropriate.
Now, she is the guest of the Yan family.
Yan Zhao: "I'm sorry, Sister Wenxi."
"I was in a bad mood today and didn't think too much about it. I forgot to tell my mom before I came."
Wenxi, holding her water glass, nodded slightly: "I understand."
Yan Zhao felt very embarrassed.
"You...you also know about the conflict between me and Lu Jinghuai?"
Wenxi: "I've heard some of it."
Yan Zhao felt ashamed and didn't even dare to look at Wen Xi.
The last time she returned home after three days, Wenxi said she had married the person she wanted to marry, and she was very happy at the time.
As a result, during their second meeting, she went home crying after arguing with Lu Jinghuai.
What I said back then felt like a resounding slap in the face.
Wenxi added, "Should I leave?"
Although she said she was avoiding the situation, Wenxi had already revealed that she wanted to leave.
Zhou Ruo quickly said, "Xi Xi, you haven't been home for so long. You've finally come back, so at least have dinner before you leave."
Wenxi: "No need, I'll come again when I have time."
She put down her water glass and got up to leave.
Zhou Ruo pushed Yan Zhao away, stepped forward and took Wen Xi's hand, pleadingly saying, "The crabs taste good today. They were specially sent by your dad's good friend. Please try some."
"I already had a box packed, I was planning to take it back to you..."
Wenxi looked at Zhou Ruo quietly, "My stomach isn't very good, so I can't eat crabs."
Zhou Ruo was startled and unconsciously loosened his grip.
