Pan Haigen, I heard from my mom that this is the royal fragrance of the British royal family.
Lin Mo knew a bit about Yao Nian's family situation and exclaimed, "Your mom is here?"
"Yes, but she’ll be leaving soon."
After cleaning up the dormitory, it was just in time for dinner. To thank Yao Nian for her gift, Lin Mo and Fang Yiran decided to invite her to eat at that Thai restaurant they had originally planned to visit during their holiday but never got around to.
Xincheng Law Firm was officially back in business. As a partner, most cases no longer required Shen Du to handle them personally. The matters that needed a lawyer of his level were almost always urgent, requiring quick thinking and solutions.
He finished up his tasks and decided to focus on the case of Yao Zhandong for the time being, spending the entire afternoon without even taking a sip of water.
After the meeting, Shen Du leaned back in his chair in the office, tired, and rubbed his temples after taking off his glasses.
Ji Zheyuan walked in with a folder. "Here’s Feng Wanqu's agency contract; just sign it."
Shen Du sighed deeply, took the contract, and sat up straight again.
Ji Zheyuan chuckled, "Ever since Yao Nian started school, it feels like you’ve wilted completely."
Shen Du shot him a glance and handed back the signed contract. "This case will be given to Xiao Lü; it’s a good opportunity for him to gain some experience."
"Feng Wanqu is not easy to communicate with. Xiao Lü just passed his internship; are you sure he can handle it?"
"Isn’t there you to back him up?"
Ji Zheyuan was taken aback for a moment before realizing, "So this is personal revenge!"
"What do you mean by that?" Shen Du raised an eyebrow.
"Just because Xiao Lü once inquired about Yao Nian, you’ve held onto that until now?"
Ji Zheyuan stared at Shen Du and laughed. "How come I never noticed you were so petty before?"
"Isn’t it because you said young girls are too charming? I have to keep an eye on things."
Shen Du picked up his phone and sent a message to Yao Nian.
Yao Nian quickly replied with a photo of her dining with her roommates. The restaurant background featured abundant greenery and tables entwined with vines, showcasing an obvious Southeast Asian style.
[Thai food?]
Yao Nian replied instantly: [I just didn’t grasp the essence of Thai cuisine.]
A crying emoji appeared on the screen.
"Tomorrow, I'll take you out for hot pot."
"Is it going to be the plain broth?"
Shen Du chuckled.
"By the way, there's something I need to tell you," Ji Zheyuan suddenly said.
Shen Du put down his phone, "Hmm?"
"Ren Ran is back."
"Is that all?"
Ji Zheyuan looked puzzled. "Aren't you even a little surprised?"
Shen Du recounted the situation from the day they met.
"Oh my gosh, I was wondering why she suddenly contacted me; is she planning to reconcile?"
"When did she reach out to you?"
"Just a few days before she returned," Ji Zheyuan replied. "She was probing around, trying to find out about you."
Shen Du's expression turned cold.
"Don't look at me like that," Ji Zheyuan quickly defended himself. "At that time, I had no idea you were with Yao Nian; I just told her the truth!"
At that moment, Shen Du's phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw an unfamiliar number on the screen.
He answered the call.
"Is this Lawyer Shen?"
The woman's voice on the other end sounded vaguely familiar.
A second later, she spoke again: "This is Qiao Shuzhen."
