[Is everything going well for you in the UK? Your brother and I were busy decorating the store and didn’t look at our phones. My dad has been recovering from backache these days, and he always talks about you when he’s free. He said that if you were here, you could give it to him.
Pinch.]
Dad’s back pain comes back again?
When he was in China, his waist was not very good. There was a family doctor at that time, and every time he felt uncomfortable, he could receive timely treatment and comprehensive physical therapy.
After going to the United States, he had to do manual labor for a long time, which affected his body. Without corresponding medical care, his back pain became increasingly serious. If it didn't reach a certain level, he wouldn't be willing to rest.
Lu Enxi wanted to call and ask about the situation, but then saw the news from her sister-in-law: [Mom's condition is quite stable. The doctor said that if she doesn't get sick in another week, she can be taken home to take care of her. The days are gradually clearing up. Our family
, getting better and better!]
Lu Enxi's heart was filled with a warm current, and all the sadness and depression disappeared.
She was content, as long as her family was safe, she no longer had any extravagant hopes.
She replied to her sister-in-law: [When I finish the case at hand, I will go to the United States to see you.]
Sister-in-law: [Okay, the room is ready for you... And Enxi, dad said you paid 500,000 yuan in batches last time. What kind of case has such a high agency fee? 】
Lu Enxi said: [It’s just a client with a lot of money. Isn’t it great to make money based on your own skills?]
Sister-in-law: [That’s good, you must never go to the Si family to ask for money. No matter how poor we are, we will not eat what we come to. If we don’t have other things, we will be gone. But at least we have to have backbone.]
backbone?
Can she still have integrity now?
Zou Qian ate the dessert and carefully asked for confirmation, "Lawyer Lu, have you and the CEO known each other before?"
Lu Enxi put down her phone, "Why do you ask that?"
Zou Qian didn't dare to chat with Si Bo Nian, so she could only find a way out from Lu Enxi, smiling and saying, "I always feel that the president's attitude towards you is a bit special. If you just care about the case itself, KM has actually fought many bigger lawsuits before.
, I have never seen the president care so much. On the day we set off, I saw the president coming at the door of your hotel. He seemed to have something to ask you."
The time when we delivered breakfast?
Lu Enxi said calmly, "I filed three lawsuits against Mr. Si, and we can barely be considered acquaintances. It's just that Mr. Si has a high position and we are just reciprocating on a courtesy basis."
She made every effort to put aside the relationship between the two.
"That's it...Lawyer Lu, you are so awesome. From the time I joined KM's legal department until now, this is the first time that the president has cooperated with lawyers from other law firms so many times."
Zou Qian thought about it and it was right. Apart from official business needs, the CEO had no other reason to interact with her too much.
It's just... I always feel like something is weird.
Is it because Lu Enxi is too beautiful? At a glance, you can tell that her temperament, face and even figure are much better than Dai Yutong.
Hey, don't think about it, Dai Yutong is the daughter of Dihua. Is that a gap that can be equaled by a face and a figure?
Back at the hotel that night, Lu Enxi read the thick file and looked up to find it was 1:30 in the morning.
Stand up from the pile of files and walk to the window. The moonlight fills the city like water. On a rare sunny day, you can see the clean and high sky, dotted with stars and floating clouds. Several buildings of the University of Manchester not far away are lit up.
, one of the buildings that keeps the lights on all night is the library.
In a daze, I thought of the time when I was studying for a Ph.D.
The library of Cornell University is also open 24 hours a day, and there are students who stay up all night with computers and materials every night. Especially when they are due for the final semester, the students eat and sleep in the library almost all the time, and everyone is exhausted.
When she was tired and unable to write the paper, she drank coffee and thought, "You must complete your studies. This is the only way for you to change your life."
Inevitably, in the most painful and difficult days, I couldn't help but think about him. When I remembered that when I was writing my master's thesis, I often sneaked out of the study and went to his study to admire his work. Of course, she didn't dare to disturb him, so she could only stand through the door.
Peeping through the cracks.
Nonetheless, give yourself strong motivation.
From now on, Dai Yutong will become his pillow person. I wonder if he will run outside his door and secretly look at the man's busy back when working late at night.
Buzzing.
The vibrating sound of her phone interrupted her memories.
It was a message from Qiao Fei.
【I just finished my work, have you slept?】
Lu Enxi replied: [Nothing.]
Then Qiao Fei called over and opened her mouth to complain, "I saw Weibo, Ma De, I really want to call you a bitch. As for being so high-profile, you have even shown off in England. What does Dai Yutong mean? You are deliberately showing off."
!”
Regarding the hot searches on Weibo, Lu Enxi took it lightly and looked away. Sooner or later, others would take away things that no longer belong to her. She was not even qualified to be sad. "I'm not angry anymore. Why are you angry? You're not angry."
, being angry makes you grow old easily.”
"How can I not be angry? The whole country is crazy right now. Everyone in the streets and alleys with a mobile phone knows about this big news. The LEDs in the square are playing the news in a loop all day long. Why the hell can I not stand Dai Yutong's pride so much?"
What about Yangyang's mean appearance, and Si Baonian... Hey, you still said that he might chase you, so what is his behavior? One word is not enough to describe him."
Unlike Qiao Fei's anger, Lu Enxi was relieved. She smiled and said, "Isn't it good to see things clearly now? It's better than being lied to for the rest of your life."
Qiao Fei gritted her teeth, her anger reflected across the screen, "That's right, that's fine, at least you can give up."
"Yes, Beauty Qiao. As for my sister, she only wants to win the lawsuit and make money!"
After venting his anger, Qiao Fei asked, "Is your lawsuit easy to fight?"
"It seems to be going well so far. The first court hearing will be the day after tomorrow."
"Come on my Xi, I'm waiting for your triumphant return!"
After the call ended, Lu Enxi still couldn't hold it back. He clicked on Weibo with his fingers. Various big Vs were discussing the breaking news. Since there were no photos of Si Bo Nian, Dai Yutong's was widely circulated on the Internet. Some
In order to satisfy everyone's curiosity, people created the cartoon appearance of Si Bo Nian.
Wearing a black suit, with an inverted triangle figure and a high-class face with cold lines.
Except that the charm is too different, it fits his style quite well.
Finally, Lu Enxi's finger stopped on an inconspicuous comment.
[Does anyone know Mr. Si’s relationship history? Isn’t Dai Yutong’s first love? I beg you to tell me about Mr. Si’s first love.]
This comment was buried under other hot comments, with only a few indifferent replies.
First love?
In fact, Lu Enxi didn't know if Si Bo Nian had a girlfriend before her, and she knew nothing about Si Bo Nian's past.
With all her worries on her mind, Lu Enxi struggled to sleep.
Until the trial, I never looked at Weibo again.
The first trial ended without significant progress. The attitude of the British judicial institutions and courts towards the case was somewhat different from what they had predicted in advance.
The team worked hard for several days and were very mentally and physically exhausted. Lu Enxi gave them a day off to repair and wait for the second court session.
Holding the mobile phone, Lu Enxi's heart was filled with ups and downs.
She should report the outcome of the trial to Si Bo Nian.
With the previous news foreshadowing, she found that she couldn't muster the courage to even make a phone call.
What is she fussing over? Regret or sadness? Reluctance or anger?
As soon as I closed my eyes, the number still slipped out from my fingertips.
The ringing lasted for about five or six seconds, and Lu Enxi heard a voice as far away as the mountains and seas, "Hello?"
