Chapter 3: Meeting Luo Xingye Again

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The next day, my cousin dragged her luggage and flew for an academic conference.

Only me and my son, Chuyi were left at home, staring at each other.

After all, my cousin is my blood and flesh. She was probably afraid that Chuyi and I would starve to death, so she stuffed the refrigerator full before she left. It’s enough for us to eat for a week. I silently gave her a like in my heart.

In the morning, I cooked a bowl of wonton for Chuyi. The wontons were personally made by my cousin. The skin was thin, the filling was generous, and the meat was juicy and delicious. Chu Yi ate until his mouth was full of oil.

After the meal, I cleaned up the dishes and gave him an electric car so that he could play around the house.

I sat cross-legged on the sofa and began to study the hateful divorce agreement.

My phone beeped and I opened it. My best friend Yuanyuan sent me a voice message. Mr. Lang is asking her where I am? She was very worried about me.

Her best friend was a good best friend, but she was a little slow in the head. I’m just afraid that she’ll have a big mouth and reveal her whereabouts. Therefore, she gritted her teeth and did not tell her the address.

I told her that I needed a lawyer, the best in the industry.

Her best friend agreed very quickly. She said that her boyfriend was at the law firm and knew the best lawyer in the country.

Boyfriend? I didn’t react for a moment. Wasn’t her boyfriend a painter? In her memory, he was an artist with long hair.

“When did your boyfriend become a lawyer?” I asked dumbly.

My best friend was stunned for a moment, then immediately scolded me, “Blockhead! Stupid! No wonder you didn’t know that your Mr. Lang had an affair! What a slow-witted fellow!”

After a while, I finally realized that she must have changed her boyfriend!

After all, the transition from an artist to a lawyer was a bit wide. In the past thousands of years, the earth had only produced one da Vinci.

I smiled apologetically, “I was wrong, I didn’t expect you to change men so quickly. It’s faster than changing clothes.”

“Eh? Anxia, why does your apology sound like you’re mocking me?”

I chuckled. She wasn’t too stupid.

My best friend’s speed is comparable to China’s high-speed rail. Half an hour later, she called me again and said, “I’ve already settled the person for you. Let’s have a meal together tonight and have a good chat.”

“Eat?” I was a little hesitant. The key was that I didn’t have the budget for this!

I didn’t bring much money with me when I left home. To be honest, I don’t have much savings over the years. Before, when I was at home, I used credit cards to buy everything, and Mr. Lang would pay them back the next month.

Yuanyuan quickly gave me the name of a Japanese restaurant and said in an unquestionable tone, “He’s a very busy lawyer, and it wasn’t easy to get an appointment. It’s 6:30 this afternoon. You’re not allowed to be late. ”

She quickly hung up the phone.

I broke out in a cold sweat. That Japanese restaurant was very expensive. As far as I know, the lowest price was1000 Yuan per person.

My brain was spinning fast, “My best friend and her boyfriend, the lawyer, me and my son, not including the drinks, the food would cost at least 5000 Yuan!”

Where am I going to get the money?

Just as she was fretting, her cousin called. Her voice was like an angel’s, “Xiaxia, I just got off the plane. Oh right, I was in a hurry this morning and forgot to tell you that there’s 10000 Yuan in the drawer of the bedside table. You can take it if you need it. ”

“Wow, cousin, you really save me from a rainy day!” I couldn’t stop laughing.

My cousin had seen my madness and coldly hung up the phone.

I didn’t have any clothes to change into, so I immediately went to search my cousin’s closet. She’s about the same height as me, so we can use each other’s clothes.

What surprised me was that most of her clothes were black, white, and gray, and the style was professional and old-fashioned.

I didn’t give up and finally found a bright-colored long dress in the corner. She didn’t even take off the tag. I guess she bought it on a whim, but she didn’t like it, so she hung it up and waited for it to collect dust.

Following the principle of not wasting anything, I quickly put on the dress and tried it on. I looked at myself in the mirror. It was quite a good fit, I didn’t know what my cousin was thinking, but she actually refused to wear it.

In the evening, at a Japanese restaurant.

I held my son’s hand and walked along the corridor of the Japanese restaurant.

Chuyi counted the shoes outside the private room and muttered, “1, 2, 3…” When he counted to 20, the waiter stopped and opened the door of Room 108.

We arrived more than ten minutes earlier than the agreed time as a sign of respect.

Not long after she sat down, there was a knock on the door of the private room. Yuanyuan appeared outside the door with her boyfriend, smiling.

The two of them seemed to be a good match. We politely exchanged a few words while I racked my brain to flatter them.

Then, I stretched my neck and looked back, “Where’s the lawyer?”

“I’m here,” The voice sounded familiar.

The famous lawyer finally revealed his true face.

The smile froze on my lips and I couldn’t recover for a long time.

It was him?

Luo Xingye!

Could he be the famous lawyer that Yuanyuan was talking about? Are you sure he’s not a spy sent by that Lang guy?

I suspect that Yuanyuan has been deceived.

“You …”

The corners of Luo Xingye’s lips rose, and he cut in, “Hello! I’m Luo Xingye, you’re the client, Ms. An, right?”

This guy was quite good at pretending!

Client? Hmph, his client was probably the Lang guy!

He handed over his business card hypocritically. I couldn’t embarrass them in front of Yuanyuan and her boyfriend, so I took it. Anan Law Firm, Lawyer Luo Xingye

What a strange name! I muttered as I stuffed the business card into my bag.

He walked around me and sat down to order without any hesitation. He even pretended to strike up a conversation with Chuyi, “Little friend, what’s your name?”

“Chuyi!” His son replied crisply.

Her best friend’s boyfriend was obviously a die-hard fan of Luo Xingye.

During the meal, he endlessly praised Luo Xingye’s glory. How he entered the University at the age of 16, and it only took him three years to get a master’s degree and Ph.D. What an outstanding lawyer, what new star …

At the dinner table, both the host and the guests were happy.

There were a few times when I wanted to break the harmonious atmosphere and ask clearly, but Luo Xingye would always hurriedly change the topic.

It was obvious that he didn’t want me to speak.

I had 10000 question marks in my heart.

Luo Xingye had ulterior motives, and I was on guard. The dinner was like a battlefield. Our eyes met countless times at the dining table. We could only feel the smoke of war and the blood and flesh flying.

The food on the plate also lost its fresh taste, as if it was wax.

Halfway through, I used the excuse of going to the bathroom to ask the waiter for the bill. But the waiter smiled and said that someone had paid for your table.

The payment was made? I was overjoyed, could she be my best friend? Sigh, she’s willing to pay and work, as expected of my best friend.

I put the money back into my pocket and returned to the room happily.
