Because Gao Shengnan was frightened, the company asked her to stay home and rest for a few days. Shi Junjie also didn't go out. Because he had solved a major case, Fang Yanming was in a great mood and invited Shi Junjie and Gao Shengnan to his home for dinner, and also to observe the situation.
"Impossible, Gao Shengnan would look down on a greenhorn like Junjie." Mao Fangfei didn't believe it.
"We'll see tonight. I think it's going to work out. Junjie's got a knack for picking up girls. He's got real feelings for her, and Gao Shengnan might even offer herself to him!" Fang Yanming joked.
Mao Fangfei looked thoughtful. That was indeed possible. Women are basically emotional creatures, and even the most rational woman can have moments when her mind goes blank. Gao Shengnan had been lonely for a long time, and it was possible that she was moved by Shi Junjie and fell in love with him.
Shi Junjie and Gao Shengnan arrived as promised that evening, both dressed casually, even coincidentally wearing the same style of hoodies and jeans, paired with white sneakers.
"Are you wearing matching outfits?" Fang Yanming joked deliberately.
Shi Junjie blushed, looked at Gao Shengnan, then at his own face, his face turning even redder. He stammered, "A coincidence, a mere coincidence..."
Gao Shengnan managed to keep her composure, but her face flushed slightly, and a strange feeling stirred within her. She couldn't help but glance at Shi Junjie, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Fang Yanming, with his keen eyes, noticed the subtle spark between the two and was pretty much certain of it.
"Come on, let me toast you. Thanks to you all for helping me solve this big case. Let's drink!"
Fang Yanming raised his glass in a toast, and Shi Junjie and Gao Shengnan also clinked glasses. The dishes were very plentiful, specially ordered by Mao Fangfei from a nearby restaurant. During the meal, Fang Yanming talked about He Baixia's case.
"Speaking of which, she is a person with a lot of suffering. She wanted to be a man but couldn't. Her family despised her and even kicked her out of the house. When she went out to work, she was looked down upon everywhere. The long-term discrimination distorted her mentality, and she committed an unforgivable crime."
Fang Yanming sighed. There are pitiful people and hateful aspects. He Baixia's crimes are unforgivable, but the sentencing will be taken into consideration.
“This kind of person doesn’t deserve sympathy. If someone bullies her, she should seek revenge on the person who bullied her. Why should she hurt innocent people? Uncle, will she be sentenced to death?” Shi Junjie inquired.
"No, there were no casualties, and she is different from men. She didn't have any tools to commit the crime. Let's see what the judge decides."
Fang Yanming didn't elaborate further. He Baixia's situation was too special. She wasn't exactly a rapist, but she did cause harm to the victim. The judge probably had a big headache.
Halfway through the meal, the atmosphere became even more lively. Fang Yanming joked, "Your mother called again, asking me to introduce you to someone. What are your requirements?"
Shi Junjie blushed and subconsciously glanced at Gao Shengnan next to him. Just then, Gao Shengnan was also looking at him. Their eyes met, and they quickly looked away, both blushing.
Fang Yanming winked at Mao Fangfei, already sensing something was amiss; there was definitely something fishy going on between the two.
"I... I haven't even made it in my career yet, I don't own a house or a car, what right do I have to find a partner? Uncle, please ignore my mother." Shi Junjie refused.
"You don't necessarily need to own a house and a car to find someone. The young couple can work hard together. If you find someone suitable on your own, just call home and let us know, so your mother won't have to look for someone for you back home," Fang Yanming said with a smile.
Shi Junjie's face turned even redder, and he glanced at Gao Shengnan, unsure of what to do with his hands. "Not yet... I won't say anything if I do."
