Chapter 427: Not Talked Yet
When Jiang Yuxu came in, the elevator door had already closed. Gui Qing rarely saw him being sneaky, and she laughed out loud.
There were only two of them in the elevator at that time. Jiang Yuxu heard her smile very clearly. When he turned around, he saw her playful and teasing eyes, as if she was watching a circus performance.
Jiang Yuxu felt like he was being watched like a monkey, which made him uncomfortable. However, he couldn't lose his temper, so he could only cough and pretend that nothing had happened.
Fortunately, Gui Qing just smiled briefly and it was over.
After the elevator stopped, the two walked out together and met several colleagues from the law firm.
"Lawyer Jiang, Qing Gong, good morning."
"Good morning." Gui Qing waved and responded to the colleague who greeted her with a smile.
Jiang Yuxu also nodded to his colleagues.
Another colleague casually remarked, "That's rare! I think this is the first time I've seen Lawyer Jiang and Engineer Qing taking the same elevator together."
The person next to her suddenly realized after hearing what she said: "It's true."
"I ran into Lawyer Jiang in the basement today. We just happened to chat about work and came up together." Gui Qing remained calm in the face of his colleagues' comments. "Everyone's busy. I'm going back to my workstation."
With her reaction like this, naturally none of her colleagues would suspect anything.
Gui Qing talked to a few colleagues and left without even looking at Jiang Yuxu the whole time.
Jiang Yuxu was still feeling upset when he returned to the office - if he hadn't met his colleagues, he and Gui Qing could have walked alone for a few more minutes, or at least talked a few more words.
As soon as she met her colleague, Gui Qing ignored him and left without saying a word to him. She also quietly drew a line between them in front of her colleague.
Jiang Yuxu felt uncomfortable - but he couldn't blame Gui Qing, because everything she was doing was in accordance with his previous requirements.
He had done the same thing to her many times.
It was his request that they never took the elevator together before; it was also his request that they not say anything extra besides work communication in the company; he even specifically reminded Gui Qing not to stare at him when colleagues were present.
Now she has done it all.
Jiang Yuxu sat down at his desk, rested his hands on the surface, and pinched his brows.
Now I have experienced firsthand what it means to shoot oneself in the foot.
——
The workday schedule is no different from usual. The case of Shen Zheng and Shen Xun is about to go to trial, and Jiang Yuxu is making final preparations.
In the afternoon, Shen Zheng came over and Jiang Yuxu talked to him about the current progress and the plaintiff's statement on the opening day of the trial.
After chatting about this, Jiang Yuxu casually asked Shen Zheng, "How are the company and the Shen family doing recently?"
Shen Zheng didn't know what he was thinking about. He curled his lips and smiled with a hint of sarcasm, "Those old-timers in the company are the best at changing their stance according to the situation."
Too.
Shen Zheng is now in high spirits, and with Lu Dai as his wife, who is a strong match for him, no one with a bit of common sense would go against him.
Apart from--
"With the evidence we've collected so far, even if Chen Xun doesn't get a suspended death sentence, he'll definitely get a life sentence." Jiang Yuxu looked at Chen Zheng, "Is your father mentally prepared for this?"
Jiang Yuxu's question was relatively tactful, but Shen Zheng would definitely understand what he meant.
Mr. Shen's preference for his illegitimate son Shen Xun is well-known in the circle. When Shen Zheng was almost killed by Shen Xun, Mr. Shen protected him unconditionally, not to mention taking legal responsibility, he didn't even ask for an apology.
This incident is quite disheartening.
Therefore, Jiang Yuxu could understand very well why Shen Zheng later made up his mind to carry out those plans and completely reshuffle and reorganize the Shen family.
Now that the lifeblood of the Shen family is in the hands of Shen Zheng, Mr. Shen's attitude towards him will naturally not be as tough as before, but after all, the blood relationship is there. If Mr. Shen begs Shen Zheng for this matter, Shen Zheng will inevitably soften his heart.
As an attorney, you should anticipate all these situations before the trial.
"Don't worry about him." When Shen Zheng mentioned the old man, his eyes turned a little colder.
He waved at Jiang Yuxu and said to him, "If he really can't bear to leave, then we can go together."
Shen Zheng's words sounded unstable. Even Jiang Yuxu, who was so calm, was surprised by his attitude.
After a moment's silence, Jiang Yuxu raised his hand and patted Shen Zheng's shoulders twice.
Everything is implied.
Jiang Yuxu is two years older than Shen Zheng, and can be said to have watched him grow up since he was a child.
Shen Zheng is not a naturally mature person, and he was even quite childish when he was in college. He values feelings, especially towards his family.
Now that he said such words, he must be completely hurt.
"It's all in the past, don't think about it," Jiang Yuxu was not very good at comforting people, and his words came out a little stiffly.
Shen Zheng pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile, "You don't need to comfort me, I have figured it out now, you can just let go of the lawsuit, no matter what the old man says to me, I will not change my mind."
"That's good." Jiang Yuxu nodded.
He stared at Shen Zheng for a while, and said with some relief: "You look much better than before."
The "before" that Jiang Yuxu mentioned was the more than half a year after Shen Zheng's car accident.
He and Song Yi were admitted to the hospital at the same time. Jiang Yuxu often went to see Shen Zheng during that period. He almost lost his life that time.
Thanks to timely rescue, he saved his life, but his body was covered with serious injuries. For more than half a year, he became extremely thin and his face turned blue.
The last time I came to talk to him about the lawsuit, he looked a little haggard, but today he has regained his former vigor and spirit.
When Shen Zheng heard Jiang Yuxu say this, he smiled and nodded, "Indeed, many people say so."
Jiang Yuxu: "When you are happy, you feel refreshed, which means you are living a good life now."
Shen Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked Jiang Yuxu up and down, his eyes full of inquiry: "What's wrong with you today?"
Jiang Yuxu: "Hmm?"
Shen Zheng: "It's not like you to suddenly care so much about others."
After nearly thirty years of friendship, Shen Zheng thought he understood Jiang Yuxu's style quite well.
He has good character and a kind heart, but he is not an emotional person, so he rarely expresses his concern directly in words.
Today, she suddenly became very concerned about him, as if she was possessed by someone.
Shen Zheng touched his chin, narrowed his eyes and turned into a detective: "He suddenly became a different person. Either he is crazy, or something is wrong - Lawyer Jiang, are you in love?"
Jiang Yuxu choked and coughed a few times.
He turned his eyes to the side and said, "No, you're overthinking it."
Shen Zheng didn't believe it: "Then why are you so guilty? I scared you into coughing when I asked you a question."
Jiang Yuxu: "We haven't discussed it yet."
Shen Zheng was silent for almost two minutes, savoring his four words carefully.
We haven’t talked yet, but that means there is someone I like.
This is the blooming of the thousand-year-old iron tree.
Shen Zheng couldn't help but feel curious: "Who is so capable as to catch you?"
Jiang Yuxu shook his head, "She didn't pursue me."
Shen Zheng: "...You're pursuing her?"
