Author: LOLITA IN D key MACHINE TRANSLATION
My name is Ouyang Ke. My grandfather is the president of NEPC international airlines. My grandmother is a nutritionist. My uncle is the president of SSXR group. My aunt is a translator. As for my father, he is the president of the global group. My mother is a retired Air stewardess.
He is Ouyang Ke. He is 27 years old. He is a famous lawyer. He works in a law firm.
He lives a very regular life. As for love, it is a blank. He has a genius-like mind. He is good at debating and answering questions. He has never met a stronger opponent than him.
However, soon, a beautiful female lawyer came to the law firm. She was the only female lawyer in the law firm and was very good-looking. It was said that she was the niece of a certain leader. As for her family background, no one knew.
Ouyang Ke, who had just come down from the court, saw a few male lawyers surrounding Zhou Xiaotong attentively as soon as he entered the law firm. Someone greeted Ouyang Ke, “Ah Ke, this is Xiaotong. ”
He only glanced at the other person. His first impression of her was that she was very beautiful. Other than being beautiful, he seemed to have no other thoughts.
Zhou Xiaotong stood up and extended her hand to introduce him. “Hello, Zhou Xiaotong. Nice to meet you. ”
Ouyang Ke looked at the hand that she handed over and shook her hand gently. He smiled and said, “hello, Ouyang Ke. ”
“I know, Ouyang Que’s son. ” She was very articulate and let him see how different she was from the rest.
The other lawyers began to jeer. “Ah Ke, it’s rare for the law firm to have a beautiful woman. You should treat her. ”
Everyone knew that Ouyang Ke’s family was very rich, and no one dared to offend him. They usually let him have his way.
Ouyang Ke looked at them. What a bunch of lustful guys. If they wanted to win the hearts of beautiful women, they should treat them themselves.
“You never bring money with you, ” he said bluntly.
Everyone’s expressions froze. They seemed to have expected him to say that. Everyone sneered and treated it as a joke.
Zhou Xiaotong put one hand in her pocket and said generously, “I’ll treat everyone. I just arrived at the law firm today, so I can be considered a newcomer here. I’ll treat everyone to a drink. ”
The male lawyers wanted nothing more than to hold her hand.
A few lecherous male lawyers squeezed out a brilliant smile. “Xiaotong, I love you to death! ”
She smiled faintly.
Ouyang Ke felt that they had really embarrassed all the men.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was drunk, she suddenly leaned against his side. Her fingers swayed the wine glass, and there was an obscure smile on her face.
“Ouyang Ke, you seem to hate me very much? ” Other men would try their best to please her when they saw her, but he didn’t even look at her. Was it interesting to drink alone?
“Not really. ” It was the first time they met. He could not be like other men and be very attentive, right That was not his style. He had the reserved nature of Ouyang que in his bones.
She chuckled. “If you don’t hate me, then you like me? Do you like me? ” She was a little drunk. When she looked at him, there were two people.
He frowned and looked at her. He was very drunk.
In the end, he called a taxi to send the woman and her colleagues home. He took a taxi back alone.
It was a little late when he went back. When Lu Yimo went downstairs to pour water, she found that her son reeked of alcohol. She quickly poured him a glass of water and asked with concern, “have you drunk? Is there any good news at the law firm? ”
He shook his head. “It’s not a good news. There’s a newcomer at the law firm. She invited everyone out for a drink. ”
Lu Yimo started gossiping. “A woman? What’s her name? ”
Ouyang Ke’s nerves immediately tensed up.
“Mom, aren’t you sleepy? HURRY UP AND GO TO SLEEP! ”
“Mom doesn’t sleep that much. Tell me about what’s going on in your law firm. Mom loves to hear this. ” Lu Yimo took a sip of water and looked very energetic.
Ouyang Ke was speechless.
“Mom, I’m so sleepy. I drank some wine and got even more sleepy. We’ll talk about it tomorrow. ” He found an excuse to open the purse, but was stopped by Lu Yimo. “You’re not young anymore. It’s time to get married. Your mom gave birth to you when she was your age. ”
Ouyang Ke stroked his hair. “Mom, you can’t rush this. You have to find the right woman. Not just any woman can be married, right? ”
Lu Yimo stomped her feet angrily. “then hurry up and find her! If you can’t find her, I’ll ask someone else to set you up on a blind date. ”
“Don’t… don’t… mom, you mustn’t do this. ” Ouyang Ke was most afraid of blind dates. None of the women who went on blind dates were of high class.
“What do you mean don’t? I think blind dates are pretty good too. What was the name of the girl your aunt mentioned last time… ” before she could finish her sentence, Ouyang Ke had already climbed up the stairs, but he didn’t want to continue listening.
Lu Yimo patted her chest. It was really infuriating. She didn’t know who her son looked like, but he wasn’t in a hurry to get married at all. He must be like his father. His father had only gotten married in his thirties back then.
Ouyang que looked at his wife, turned over, and pressed her under his body. “Wife, you’re asleep. It’s already so late. What are you thinking about? ”
“Get lost. I don’t want to talk to you. If it weren’t for you, would my son have dragged this out until now? twenty-seven, not twenty-one! If he doesn’t get married now, when will he get married? ” She pushed Ouyang Que, who was lying on top of her, away She covered herself with the blanket and did not want to talk to him.
Ouyang Que was helpless. If his son did not get married, how could it be his fault!
The moment the door of the law firm opened, Ouyang Ke was the first to walk in. Every day when he arrived at the law firm, the first thing he did was to make a cup of coffee for himself. He placed the coffee on the table and picked up the information on the table to start flipping through.
“Good morning, senior brother. ” Zhou Xiaotong was dressed in a professional suit and greeted him in high spirits. She was considered two people compared to her who was drunk yesterday.
He answered without raising his head, “Good Morning. You’re sober now, right? ”
“Oh, yes. Senior brother wasn’t drunk yesterday? ” She looked at him in surprise.
“I wasn’t drunk last night. If I was drunk too, no one would have sent you back! ” Ouyang Ke stood up and walked out with the documents.
She hurriedly called out, “senior brother, are you going to court today? Can I sit in? ”
Ouyang Ke looked at her and finally nodded helplessly.
The two of them left the law firm together.
In the court hall, Ouyang Ke, as the plaintiff’s lawyer, sat on the left side of the hall, while the defendant and the defendant’s lawyer sat on the right side.
Zhou Xiaotong leaned over and asked, “what case is this? ”
“divorce case. ”
“What are the chances of success? ”
“90% , ” he said confidently.
Zhou Xiaotong was looking forward to it.
After coming out of the court, Zhou Xiaotong followed behind him and ran a few steps to catch up with him.
“senior brother, I heard that you are a top lawyer in the law firm? ”
“I’m not worthy of my reputation, ” he said modestly.
“I’m not worthy of my reputation. Time can prove it. ”
He was more curious about why she would enter this law firm.
“Why do you want to enter this law firm? ”
Zhou Xiaotong raised her chin. “Didn’t you also enter? How can the place where the best lawyers stay be bad? ”
Was this a compliment He pursed his lips.
“You’re very good with words. I’m going to a place now. I’m not going back to the law firm. Where are you going? I’ll send you there. ” Opening the car door, he sat in and asked casually.
She asked curiously, “where are you going? Can I go with you? ”
“No! ” He directly refused.
She lowered her shoulders. “Alright, I’ll take the car back myself. ”
When she turned around, he said, “be careful on your way! ”
At noon, he arrived at the location of the blind date punctually. Lu Yimo and Ouyang que were there as well. The other party’s parents were there as well. There were only six seats, and one of them was empty.
Lu Yimo quickly introduced her son. “This is the director, and that’s the wife of the director. The director’s daughter is probably on her way here. ”
Director Zhou looked at his watch and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, she must have been stuck in traffic. ”
The wife of the chief secretly sent a message to her daughter, “daughter, where are you? Why aren’t you here yet? ”
A message was sent directly, “mom, I’m not coming. I’m busy right now. You guys can eat by yourselves. ”
“How can you not come? Everyone is waiting for you. Hurry up and come over. I can’t afford to lose face today. ”
Zhou Xiaotong immediately turned off her phone. She hated blind dates the most. Even if the other party had a prominent family background, she did not want to go.
The person she wanted to marry had to be someone she liked. Although she was already 24 this year, she was not in a hurry to get married.
“How is it? Is Xiaotong here yet? ” Director Zhou could not hold back the smile on his face.
His wife was also sweating profusely.
“She turned off her phone. I don’t think she will come. ”
Director Zhou’s face instantly darkened.
Ouyang Que and Lu Yimo also noticed the unusual behavior of the couple opposite them.
“What’s wrong? Your daughter… ”
“My daughter is working on a case. She said she can’t get out of it. I’m really sorry. ” Director Zhou quickly stood up and raised his cup to apologize.
“young people, work is more important. ” Ouyang que generously raised his own cup and clinked it with his.
“I apologize to the three of you on behalf of my daughter. Let’s find another time to get together again. ” Director Zhou only wanted to keep Ouyang Ke as a man for his daughter. Not to mention how prominent Ouyang Ke’s family background was, his looks and ability.. Made him admire him very much.
Ouyang Que and Lu Yimo felt it was a pity that they did not see director Zhou’s daughter. However, others said that his daughter was in trouble, so what else could they say.
Ouyang Ke really wanted to throw his cup and leave. He was obviously stood up by his daughter, yet they still had to greet her with a smile. It was really tiring.
Lu Yimo reached out and held his hand. “Don’t mess around. Leave after eating. Don’t lose face. ”
“Who cares about this meal? ”
“Ouyang Ke, listen to your mother. EAT BEFORE YOU LEAVE! ” Ouyang que reprimanded with a cold face.
Ouyang Ke patiently ate the meal before leaving.
Director Zhou opened the car door and said apologetically, “director Ou, I’m really sorry. Xiaotong isn’t like this usually. She didn’t come because she really had something to do. I hope she still has a chance. ”
Ouyang que looked at his wife, wanting to ask for her opinion.
Lu Yimo said with a smile, “it’s okay. We’ll find another time to let the two young people meet alone. WE WON’T GET INVOLVED! ”
The director’s wife clapped her hands and said with a smile, “yes, let them meet alone. ”
Ouyang que nodded and put his arm around his wife’s waist.
It was the first time he had been stood up by someone. Ouyang Ke seemed a little angry. As soon as he entered the office, he poured himself a glass of water.
“Ah Ke, are you okay? You went out for a trip and even got angry? ” A colleague who didn’t know what was going on came over and asked.
Ouyang Ke waved his hand. “I’m fine. Let’s get to work! ”
Zhou Xiaotong glanced at him. “Didn’t you say that you were going out to do something? Why are you back so soon? ”
Actually, he was not going out to do something but to go on a blind date. It was just that it was difficult for him to say it out loud, and he was even stood up by the other party.
“I came back after I was done. ” He turned around awkwardly and continued to do what he was doing.
