Something happened in the prison. Zhu Lingling's father was scratched on the arm by Zhu's mother while he was out for exercise. The scene was in chaos.
"You damn bitch! You better be careful or I'll kill you!"
Covering his arm, Zhu's father stared at her and cursed her dirty words.
The prison guard beside him glared at him and warned, "Stop talking!"
In a corner not far away, a woman with half of her face burned was watching the farce, holding two stones in her hands.
When Zhu's mother was being forced out, she looked back at the woman with a pitiful smile on her face.
This little farce was soon settled, and everything returned to normal.
…
The sky was getting light. Lan Xi suddenly opened her eyes and took a deep breath, as if someone was strangling her throat.
The loud noise made Cheng Chiyan beside her feel that something was wrong with her.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Chiyan lifted the quilt aside, picked up the thermos on the low table, poured a cup and said to her.
Lan Xi took a sip of water, and the sweat on her forehead slowly disappeared. She said calmly, "I dreamed that the Lan family went bankrupt!"
"Bankruptcy?" When everyone heard this while having breakfast, they all thought it was a hint from a dream.
Cheng Chiyan shook his head. He didn't know either. Lan Xi's expression when she said this appeared in his mind. Relieved? Or...?
Lan Xi came out of the bedroom. Everyone shut up. She yawned and walked to the table.
"I'm not going to the company today. You guys should follow the procedures on your own!"
Bai Yun looked at Lan Xi and pushed the porridge that had been set aside in front of her:
"You're so busy every day, why do you insist on inheriting the company?"
It's yam porridge. Lan Xi has noticed that her breakfast lately has a lot of yam in it:
"As long as it doesn't affect the company's operations, it's fine! We'll deal with it when there's a problem! Lan's current situation won't be any worse!"
She swallowed the porridge in her mouth and looked at Bai Yun:
"How's the legal consultation going? Is it working well?"
"No problem, not many people have asked about it recently, that's why it's not widely used!"
When talking about his profession, Bai Yun became serious and put down his chopsticks.
Zhu Lingling naturally took over the conversation: "The Legal Department submitted the branch office's move-in date yesterday. It's the middle of next month!"
Lan Xi nodded and said to Bai Yun:
"Bai Xingtang can only do internship as an assistant right now. I heard he's preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam?"
"Yes! He can only take on cases independently if he's a graduate student!"
Bai Yun agreed that a lawyer's professional qualifications are very important.
Lan Xi shook her head in disagreement. She felt that Bai Yun was a bit stubborn sometimes.
"Bai Xingtang has a clear path ahead of him, so even if he doesn't have academic qualifications, it doesn't matter! The Lan family can't provide him with a platform!"
Lan Xi thinks that it would be stupid not to take advantage of an opportunity!
"Having said that, I don't want him to rely too much on the Lan family. After all, his last name is Bai!"
Bai Yun always felt that she should keep a distance from the Lan family, as she was still frightened by the past.
Hearing this, Lan Xi didn't say anything, lowered her head and continued eating.
Cheng Chiyan only found out some time ago that Bai Xingtang was the illegitimate son of the Lan family. He was shocked by this, after all, Lan Xi didn't look like her younger brother at all.
Qin Xiangnan has been incredibly quiet these past two days. He eats in silence and leaves in silence...
"How are your preparations for the fashion week?" Lan Xi saw that she was feeling awkward. Did Shi Tinghan go crazy again these past two days?
Qin Xiangnan shook his head:
"No, Mr. Zhang is watching. I haven't been working on this project these past two days. I'm only responsible for the design draft!"
"Why is Shi Tinghan harassing you again?"
Lan Xi's tone was teasing. After finishing the porridge in the bowl, she felt full and stood up to look for a cigarette as usual.
When mentioning this person, Qin Xiangnan took a deep breath, tightened his grip on the chopsticks, and the rice in the bowl no longer smelled fragrant.
The lighter clicked, and the cigarette was lit. Lan Xi asked, a little confused, "He doesn't like you, does he?"
There was a clang, the sound of chopsticks falling on the dishes.
Qin Xiangnan turned his head with a cold face: "Can you please stop talking!"
"What's wrong? I think you two are quite suitable!"
As if the fire wasn't burning bright enough, Lan Xi sat down in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with an ashtray in hand.
Qin Xiangnan suddenly stood up, walked over to Lan Xi and sat down, staring at her closely:
"You've been setting us up? Why?"
Lan Xi looked out the window, showing no emotion at all because of Qin Xiangnan's words:
"Maybe it's because... of the harmonious atmosphere between you?"
She turned to look at Qin Xiangnan, her light brown eyes seemed to shine into her heart: "You... don't feel anything?"
Qin Xiangnan was stunned for a moment. She seemed not to have thought about these things. Because of her original family, she was very resistant to matters between men and women!
Lan Xi put out the cigarette in the ashtray, put the ashtray aside, and repeated, "You really don't feel anything?"
This time she didn't look at Qin Xiangnan, but the repeated questions made Qin Xiangnan fall into deep thought.
"If there is, why not give it a try!" Lan Xi stood up by supporting herself on the ground and staggered back to the bedroom.
When Lan Xi didn't see it, someone on the Internet revealed that she knew the truth and was being the third party.
Because Lan Xi's previous incident was still fresh in people's memory, people who knew about it did not dare to discuss it casually, so it did not cause heated discussion online for a while.
Until that afternoon, a large number of online trolls came in and began to abuse Lan Xi, some of which were very harsh.
Lan Xi's die-hard fans secretly went to her account to complain and asked her to come out and refute them.
It was already evening when Zhu Lingling saw it. She tried to contact Lan Xi but couldn't get through.
