35 -34: Moving on So Quickly

Ruan Youqing was nearby, feeling indignant as the group of nurses chattered endlessly.

She stomped her foot, walked over, grabbed the roses from the table, and said, “Perfect, I’ll put them in the staff restroom to remove the smell.”

A few nurses looked at Ruan Youqing and muttered, “No manners.”

“Even if I lack manners, I wouldn’t mock people behind their backs.”

The nurse’s face turned red.

Ruan Youqing snorted coldly and strode away.

When Tang Xi left the hospital in the afternoon, the sound of car horns filled the air.

Xiao Chi drove up in a flashy red sports car, wearing sunglasses and tilting his head at her, “Get in.”

“I still have things to do.” Tang Xi eyed him warily and stepped back.

Xiao Chi pressed the horn again, “Won’t you even ask where we are going before refusing?” He took off his sunglasses and jerked his chin at her, “Get in, I’ll take you somewhere.”

Tang Xi looked at him suspiciously.

As she hesitated, another horn sounded.

Xiao Chi’s car was blocking the way, and the cars behind were displeased.

Tang Xi had no choice but to get in the car.

Before she could even fasten her seatbelt, the man floored the accelerator, causing Tang Xi to turn pale and tightly grasp the door handle.

Xiao Chi watched her panicked expression and a smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Tang Xi pursed her lips and muttered softly, “Boring.”

However, to her surprise, Xiao Chi brought her to Jingrong Law Firm.

The receptionist changed her usually haughty attitude upon seeing Xiao Chi, quickly bowing respectfully and saying, “Young Master Xiao, Attorney Chen is waiting for you in his office.” When the receptionist saw Tang Xi behind Xiao Chi, she was momentarily startled.

Because when Tang Xi had come yesterday afternoon, she had rejected them impatiently and arrogantly.

At this moment, it was somewhat awkward.

Inside the office, a handsome and composed man in a gray suit sat on the sofa.

He watched as a man and a woman entered, his gaze moving from the man’s face and briefly sweeping over the woman’s face.

Xiao Chi walked in, “Fourth Brother, it’s not easy to get a moment with you…”

He turned to Tang Xi, “My friend, the boss of Jingrong, Chen Jinyan.”

The name Chen Jinyan was familiar to Tang Xi.

She had seen this man in various financial and legal magazines—North City’s most famous lawyer, rumored to have never lost a case he took on.

She stared at Xiao Chi, momentarily stunned, as it had not crossed her mind that Xiao Chi would bring her to meet Chen Jinyan.

Xiao Chi put on his sunglasses, “Haven’t you been looking for a lawyer these past few days?

Well, there’s no better lawyer in North City than my Fourth Brother.

I’ll wait for you in the lounge outside, and we’ll go eat after you’re finished talking.”

With that, he left.

Tang Xi stood in front of Chen Jinyan, her lips pursed. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

She had heard of Chen Jinyan’s reputation, but at this moment, she felt no relaxation at heart, knowing the issue involving Tang Shiyue was troublesome.

Chen Jinyan gestured to her, “Sit, since you are Xiao Chi’s friend, tell me what’s on your mind.”

After Tang Xi explained the situation regarding Tang Shiyue, Chen Jinyan frowned, “This matter is indeed tricky.

However, your brother is a minor and is the defender, so there is still a chance.”

Tang Xi’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her face brightened a bit.

“You can go back first, my assistant will contact you later.”

“Thank you, thank you so much.” Tang Xi bowed deeply and sincerely thanked him, suddenly feeling a breath of relief.

As she left the office, Chen Jinyan’s gaze lingered on her retreating figure, sizing her up slightly.

If he wasn’t mistaken, he had seen this woman before…

But specifically, he could not remember.

However, she and Xiao Chi, the typical playboy, were completely mismatched and certainly not his usual type.

Xiao Chi really has changed his tastes.

–

“So, is everything resolved now?”

Tang Xi had a smile on her face, she previously thought Xiao Chi was a flirtatious wealthy playboy, but now, she sincerely thanked him, “Thank you, Young Master Xiao.”

If it weren’t for Xiao Chi, how could she have found the top lawyer in North City.

Now, Shiyue would be saved.

“Alright, your matter is resolved, now it’s time to solve mine, come on, let’s go eat.”

Tang Xi didn’t refuse again, “I, I’ll treat you.”

As a way of saying thanks.

“You?” Xiao Chi eyed her outfit, although this woman was fairly attractive, her fashion sense was really poor; this whole outfit from a street stall probably didn’t cost more than 200 yuan in total.

A simple white blouse and black jeans.

It’s just her face, still quite pleasant to look at.

–

Half an hour later, the car stopped, now close to the edge of Hai City.

At night, the beach was bustling.

A beach party, bikinis and beach shorts everywhere, Tang Xi’s neatly dressed appearance seemed quite out of place.

“Young Master Xiao, your girlfriend, not bad.”

A young man whistled at Tang Xi.

Xiao Chi raised his hand, placed it on Tang Xi’s shoulder, and pulled her close as they walked to a long table and sat down.

Xiao Chi handed the menu to Tang Xi, “Order whatever you want.”

Tang Xi chose a dish casually, looking around at the seaside barbecue stalls.

The table was full of Xiao Chi’s rowdy friends, many of whom had women clinging to them scantily dressed, revealing sultry figures.

By comparison, she really seemed like she belonged to another world.

“Young Master Xiao, it’s been a while, your taste has changed.

You like this plain water style now…” a woman cooed as she looked at Xiao Chi.

Xiao Chi took a drag on his cigarette, smiled, and remained silent.

On the other hand, a young man said, “Let Young Master Xiao change his taste once in a while.”

Then everyone burst into laughter.

The woman laughed wildly, her chest quivering, deliberately leaning into Xiao Chi’s embrace, “Young Master Xiao, you have a new girlfriend and you don’t care about me anymore.”

Xiao Chi blew out a smoke ring, smiling somewhat wanton, “vivi, like you said, I have a new girlfriend now.”

“Young Master Xiao is busy, but I have time, vivi, let brother keep you company,” another young man wrapped his arms around the woman’s waist.

Although vivi liked Xiao Chi, she didn’t want to offend these wealthy young men, quickly started drinking with them with a smile on her face, but occasionally, her cold gaze slashed towards Tang Xi.

Who knows what’s with Young Master Xiao, to actually like this kind of plain water.

The seaside barbecue, the evening breeze blowing.

Tang Xi raised her hand to tidy up her hair messed up by the wind, casually tied it in a ponytail, still strands of hair on her cheeks, she ate a few bites of food, then glanced at her wristwatch.

She had no interest in such gatherings, if Xiao Chi hadn’t forcibly brought her, Tang Xi would never come.

Xiao Chi opened a bottle of wine and handed it to her, “It’s only been half an hour, and you’re already so eager to go back, I helped you a lot, and now you turn your back on me?”

Tang Xi wasn’t much of a drinker, but drinking a few sips wouldn’t get her drunk, she took it, had a sip, the cool beer quenching some of the hot air from the September evening breeze.

“Young Master Xiao, you haven’t mentioned how long I should stay here.”
