At the same time, a force was pulling the door open from the inside. I was about to look inside when the waiter blocked my view.
Here, we pay attention to the privacy of our guests.
The waiter asked, "Excuse me, are you a friend of Mr. Xiao and his friends?"
This surname is unfamiliar.
I just shook my head and said, "No, I went to the wrong room."
When I turned to leave, it seemed like someone was staring at me without blinking, making me feel uneasy.
When I turned around, all that was left was the tightly closed door of the private room.
Back in the private room, Jiang Lai had already ordered the dishes. "Look quickly, is there anything you want to eat?"
"I'm not picky, just order whatever you want."
Thinking about what happened just now, I feel a little worried.
They are not people I know, but what they said seems to have happened to me.
Almost able to identify the seat.
But I have never heard of any friend of Fu Qichuan with the surname Xiao.
Jiang Lai sensed something was wrong and leaned close to my ear, "What are you thinking about?"
"No."
I smiled gently.
Now is not the time to talk about this.
With his presence, the atmosphere in the private room was lively and harmonious, and it quickly allowed me to shake off my complicated thoughts.
Jiang An, the designer, stood up, raised his glass to Jiang Lai and me, and said shyly, "Mr. Ruan, Mr. Jiang, I'm so glad to meet Nancy... Thank you, thank you for hiring me!"
Among these new employees, he is the only older one.
It has been almost ten years since he graduated, and he has achieved nothing. It is not because he lacks ability, but because he prefers to have his own aesthetic and is unwilling to cater to the market.
Naturally, the company is unwilling to take a gamble on a new designer with no achievements.
Therefore, his works have never been successfully released to the market, and it has become increasingly difficult for him to find a job.
But when I saw the works attached to his resume that day, I was inspired. It was a bit risky, but I still wanted to keep him and give it a try.
I raised my glass. "You're welcome. Everyone here has earned their place on their own merit. Nancy is honored to be chosen by you."
"that is."
Jiang Lai also raised his glass and clinked it with his. "Hurry up and sit down. Tonight, let's eat, drink, and have fun."
Her words made them indulge themselves and they toasted us one by one.
After I drank two cups, Lu Shiyan, who was sitting on the other side of me, picked up the cup with a smile and spoke politely:
"Your boss Ruan can't drink much, so I'll take the rest for her."
“Oh~~”
Jiang Lai took the lead in making a fuss.
Zhou Mo also clapped her hands and shouted, "Boss Lu, you're such a man!"
I wanted to refuse, but Lu Shiyan disagreed. "You can't drink, don't you know? Besides, you've been busy lately. If you drink too much, how can you go to work tomorrow?"
"Well."
My heart warmed slightly, and I was grateful for his thoughtfulness. I advised, "Then take it easy and don't drink too much."
His eyes sparkled, and he responded softly, "Tuo, I know."
With him blocking the drinking for me, and he seemed to have a very bad temper, we were all eager to try it.
Jiang Lai gave me an ambiguous look and whispered, "Be careful. We have to take Senior Lu home tonight."
I admired how quickly she could think, and smiled, "Just give it to me."
Lu Shiyan has always been incompetent in these matters.
Even if you are alone, there is nothing to worry about.
However, before Lu Shiyan started drinking, my phone rang first.
It was Lawyer Fang calling.
I stepped out to answer the call, "Lawyer Fang, what's going on?"
"Nanzhi, your uncle has received the notice that we have filed for divorce."
Lawyer Fang couldn't help but remind her, "But when I just left the hospital, I ran into your uncle. He looked very bad and might cause trouble for your aunt."
"Yes, I see. Thank you! I'll come over and take a look right away."
My aunt is in a critical period of treatment, and the stomach is an emotional organ.
All the quarrels and arguments will not help her recovery.
I hung up the phone and returned to the private room. I leaned over to Jiang Lai's ear and said, "Lai Lai, I leave this to you. Something happened to my aunt, and I have to go over to check it out."
Her expression changed, and she asked worriedly, "What's the matter? I'll go with you and take a look."
"It shouldn't be a big deal."
I patted her shoulder and said, "Take everyone out to eat, drink and have fun, so as not to spoil the fun."
After saying that, I picked up my bag, said hello to everyone and was about to leave.
Lu Shiyan also stood up hurriedly, "You've been drinking, I'll take you home."
"Tuo."
I know that he originally came to have this meal with me, but since I left, he naturally didn't want to stay.
As I walked out, I asked, "Can you drive?"
"I haven't even had a drink yet."
He chuckled.
I felt relieved and got into his car.
When they arrived at the hospital, the ground parking lot of the inpatient department was full, so Lu Shiyan could only look for a parking space in the underground parking lot.
I was concerned about my aunt, so I got out of the car first and said, "I'll go upstairs and take a look first."
Lu Shiyan nodded and said, "I'll come as soon as I park the car."
I went upstairs and heard a noise as soon as I got out of the elevator.
Lin Guoan stood at the door of the ward, hands on his hips, cursing non-stop, "Ruan Xinli, if you have the guts, open the door and get out! You said you want a divorce, so you can get one? And you even want to sue me? Don't just rely on your niece's crappy lawyer to scare me..."
“Click—”
The door opened.
I walked closer quickly and saw my aunt, who looked a little better. "Aunt..."
When my aunt saw me coming, her tense face relaxed a little, "Nanzhi, why are you here?"
"I...I came to see you." I said.
Lin Guoan looked at me, furious. "Ruan Nanzhi, do you know that it's better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage? Your aunt and I have been married for twenty or thirty years, and you actually insist on forcing her to divorce me?!"
My aunt immediately denied any connection between the matter and me, saying, "It has nothing to do with Nanzhi. I wanted to divorce you on my own!"
"Did she find the lawyer for you? Is she paying for your medical treatment now? I made it clear yesterday that you can divorce me, but I still say the same thing as last time: at least half of her property must go to me!" Lin Guoan said shamelessly.
I looked at him with disgust, "I haven't settled the score with you for what happened last time."
Cooperate with Fu Jinan and give me medicine.
Extremely obscene.
"What's up?"
He dodged, shaking his legs. "I don't know what you're talking about. You were the one who came to me last time. It's none of my business."
"Okay, let me say this too. What the hell does my property have to do with you?"
I frowned, "Don't bother my aunt while she's healing!"
"Hey, I'm coming. I'm not going to be here any longer. What can you do to me?" He looked like an old scoundrel.
"Then you just stay here and guard it."
I was about to rush past the two bodyguards and into the ward when he suddenly got anxious and stopped me, blurting out, "Didn't you want to ask me last time whether it's true that you're not a member of the Ruan family?"
