Author: LOLITA IN D key MACHINE TRANSLATION
The wife of the bureau chief treasured her daughter very much. Although she would yell at her every now and then, she knew better than anyone else that if it wasn’t because she loved her too much, she wouldn’t be controlling her like this.
However, seeing that her daughter had lost a lot of weight recently, as a mother, she felt very distressed.
“I heard from the servants that you were sick just now? ”
“Uh, it’s just a small cold. Mom, don’t worry. You’ll be fine in a few days! ” A cold was only secondary. The most important thing was that she was mentally tired.
However, the bureau chief’s wife could see that she was putting on a brave front. She thought about it and finally decided “How about this? You quit your current job and focus on finding a good partner. A woman doesn’t have to work so hard. If you find a rich husband, you can still live well. ”
Zhou Xiaotong knew that she was going to ask about the blind date again, and she was very unwilling to mention it.
“Mom, it’s not that serious. I’ll continue working as usual. As for a man, if I meet a suitable one, I won’t let him go, ” Zhou Xiaotong assured her.
The bureau chief’s wife heaved a sigh of relief.
“okay, but the person I introduced you to last time, how are you getting along with him? Have you contacted him recently? ”Thee bureau chief’s wife sincerely felt thatOuyanggKee was not bad.Iff she could make him her son-in-law, she felt that it would be the best.
Zhou Xiaotong felt extremely guilty. She would not tell her mother that the other party did not like her at all.
“Mom, we did not contact him anymore. Because we felt that he was not suitable, so we just let it go. ”
“How could this be? Did he not like you, or did you not like him? Mom thinks that he is a good person! ” Hearing her daughter’s words, the bureau chief’s wife felt that it was a pity.
“They didn’t like each other. ” She couldn’t say that she and Ouyang Ke were now working in the same law firm, right If his mother or his family found out, what would happen?
Shaking her head, the bureau chief’s wife didn’t know what to say. She could only let it go. After all, they didn’t like each other. No matter how much she admired Ouyang Ke, it was meaningless.
She held Zhou Xiaotong’s hand and advised, “Xiaotong, since your relationship with him didn’t work out, then I’ll help you find another suitable candidate. ”
Zhou Xiaotong felt like her head was about to explode MOM IS SO ANNOYING It’s not like she can’t get married anymore. Why does she have to worry about her matters all the time!
The law firm had recently received another case. This time, the ones in charge of this case were still Ouyang Ke and Zhou Xiaotong.
Zhou Xiaotong looked at the name of the plaintiff and felt that the name was somewhat familiar. However, China was so big, and there were many people with the same name. It shouldn’t be the Leng Ying that she knew.
Ouyang Ke saw that she had been staring at the name for a long time and was in a confused state. He put the information in his bag and asked casually, “why? Do you know this plaintiff? ”
“Oh, no. ” She couldn’t tell him that the plaintiff was her first love, Qing, right Zhou Xiaotong had once pursued this man, but later, because the company that the man’s father ran ran ran into problems, he moved to the United States with his family. After a few years, the man seemed to have returned to the country Moreover, the moment he returned to the country, he married a woman of equal status.
Just now, she looked at the time that the two of them had been married. It had only been a year, and they were going to divorce again. She didn’t know what to say!
And he said that he was fine. Did he look fine with a heavy heart Clearly, he was not fine.
However, Ouyang Ke was focused on meeting the plaintiff, so he didn’t pay much attention to her expression.
They had made an appointment with the plaintiff in the afternoon because the plaintiff had a meeting in the morning and didn’t have time to receive them, so they could only make the appointment in the afternoon. They were now resting in the plaintiff’s company’s Lounge, waiting for the man to come and meet them after the meeting.
The door to the lounge suddenly opened, and a well-proportioned, handsome man in a suit pushed the door open and entered. An assistant followed closely behind him.
The man’s beauty could not be described with any words. When his gaze met Zhou Xiaotong, who was sitting on the SOFA, his originally handsome face slightly changed. His thin lips were tightly pursed as he stretched out his hand towards Ouyang Ke and said, “hello, sorry to have kept you waiting! ”
“Hello, it’s alright. ”
“please take a seat! ” Leng Ying did not put Zhou Xiaotong in his eyes at all and directly started to chat with Ouyang Ke.
Zhou Xiaotong pursed her lips. She did not expect to meet her first love here. Moreover, the other party even treated her as a stranger. Leng Ying, you’re really ruthless!
While the two of them were talking, Ouyang Ke suddenly noticed Zhou Xiaotong, who had always been active, lowering her head. This was really not like the Zhou Xiaotong he knew. There was something strange about her!
He carefully looked at the man in front of him again. He was indeed handsome. Could it be… …
Ouyang Ke smiled with interest. However, when he learned that this woman liked this man, he felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.
“Mr. Leng, can you tell me the reason why you divorced your wife? ” Ouyang Ke was actually asking on behalf of the silly woman next to him. He did not know how she should thank him.
Actually, Zhou Xiaotong’s feelings for Leng Ying were not as strong as before after seeing him again. After all, he was already married The love she had for him had disappeared many years ago. Now, only beautiful memories were left.
“My wife and I are not married at all. It has always been a fake marriage, ” he said calmly with his hands clasped together.
This time, Ouyang Ke was not the only one who was stunned. Even Zhou Xiaotong was stunned He and his wife were fake married Why?
Seeing the doubt in their eyes, he smiled with a relaxed face “The reason why my wife and I got married in the first place was for our own interests. But now, I want to end this ridiculous marriage, but someone is pretending to be real and won’t divorce me. I can only… … Take legal measures to protect my legal rights.”
Ouyang Ke pulled back his thoughts and asked, “did you sign a contract or something? ”
“Yes! ” If not, he was afraid that he would be stuck with that woman for the rest of his life.
“Can you show me the contract? ”
“Yes. ” He turned around and signaled his assistant to get the contract.
“There are two copies of this contract. I have one in my hand and the other party has one too. ” He took the opportunity when Ouyang Ke was looking at the contract to explain to Ouyang Ke.
“It’s very easy to get a divorce. Find a way to get the other party’s contract and prove that you did sign the contract at that time. ” He slammed the contract on the table and said to him.
“Then what should I do? ” Leng Ying frowned.
Ouyang Ke looked at Zhou Xiaotong, then at him and shook his head “Zhou Xiaotong and I have a sensitive identity. It’s not convenient for us to go to your house to search for the contract. That will only arouse your wife’s suspicion. I will entrust someone else to do this. Mr. Leng, remember to pick up the person I sent. ”
Leng Ying nodded. In order to express his gratitude to them, he decided to invite them to dinner.
Zhou Xiaotong suddenly lied that she was not feeling well and wanted to go home first, so she did not go.
Ouyang Ke grabbed her arm and said very softly, “are you afraid? Seeing such a handsome man, did it bring up some bad memories for you? ”
“Ouyang Ke, please don’t make wild guesses, okay? ” This was her private matter, so she didn’t need to explain it to him.
Her avoidance made him very unhappy, but he didn’t understand why she was so angry Maybe she thought that she liked this man before, and now she liked him, and thought that she was a promiscuous woman!
“Am I making wild guesses, or do you have a guilty conscience? If there’s really nothing between you and him, then you should go! ”
Facing Ouyang Ke’s aggressive attitude, she could only say expressionlessly, “okay, I’ll go! ”
He let go of her hand and smiled at Leng Ying, “let’s go. I’ll have to trouble you to lead the way. ”
Zhou Xiaotong glared at him fiercely. That detestable stinky man!
Leng Ying had booked a table at a five-star hotel. It was clear that this guy not only had status but was also very rich. No wonder his ‘wife’ did not divorce him. Every woman wanted to catch a tall, rich, and handsome man.
Zhou Xiaotong did not know the taste of food. One was her first love, Qing, and the other was the person she liked now. Facing such a situation, she felt very awkward. Fortunately, Leng Ying didn’t expose her scandal on the spot. Otherwise, Ouyang Ke would have laughed her to death.
During the meal, Leng Ying sneaked a glance at her and also felt awkward.
After all, she used to chase after him but was rejected by him. Now, she had to be in charge of his case. This kind of feeling was very strange.
Ouyang Ke saw their expressions and reactions and coldly smiled.
“Come, wish US SUCCESS IN ADVANCE! ” He raised his wine glass and shouted.
Leng Ying came back to his senses and raised his wine glass. He smiled and said, “sorry to trouble the two of you! I will repay the two of you after the deed is done! ”
Zhou Xiaotong lowered her head and raised her glass, but only responded with an “en” .
On the way back, Ouyang Ke said to her without turning his head, “find your own car and go back. My car doesn’t have any extra oil to carry your weight! ”
She found it funny, but she couldn’t find any words to refute him. The car was his, and he had the right to not let her get in the car, but it was already so late, so where was he going to let her take the car? In her opinion, this man was obviously doing it on purpose.
But shouldn’t she be the one who should be angry Why should he be angry She really couldn’t understand this man’s way of thinking.
“…”
Looking at the BMW that drove away from her, she was instantly speechless. How could this man be so petty.
“BEEP BEEP! ” Someone honked the horn behind her. She stepped aside and looked back. It was actually Leng Ying.
He drove the car in front of her, rolled down the window, and asked politely and gently, “Xiaotong, do you want to get on the car? ”
She looked at this familiar face and was in a daze for a moment. In the past, she had wanted him to call her Xiaotong and accept her feelings. But now, hearing this call of Xiaotong, other than feeling touched, she didn’t feel anything else. It seemed that her feelings for him had stopped a few years ago… …
