"You're very well-prepared," Shen Wanci couldn't help but say.

"That dead kid thinks he can escape by not answering my calls. I'm going to show him today why flowers are so red," Qin Yuezhi said as she rubbed her buttocks: "That beating was for nothing, I should have made him go study management. My god, he probably has kids now. Just thinking about it makes my heart ache. I won't marry anyone else in my life."

Shen Wanci: "Not yet, not only that, he's also divorced. You still have a chance. If you just paid a little more attention to entertainment news, I would believe you wouldn't marry anyone else."

“...”

Qin Yuezhi had sent a message to Qin Jingrui before coming.

Qin Jingrui was hiding behind a tree by the school gate, waiting for the security guards who usually chased those students who snuck out to get takeout like chickens and dogs. He hoped they would intimidate his sister with their imposing presence, but he didn't have much hope. Luckily, he was clever and knew how to call for backup.

Isn't this rescuer a little too late? His sister is about to come in.

Ahhhh....

He really came in.

Qin Jingrui hesitated for two seconds. To maintain his school bully image in front of his classmates, he decided to go all out. It was better to be beaten outside than to be beaten in front of everyone.

He took a deep breath and was about to rush out when the sound of "ding ding" WeChat notifications came from his phone.

He trembled and clicked it open.

Lifesaver: "I'm at the school gate, where are you?"

Qin Jingrui made a video call: "Brother-in-law, don't ask me where I am first, you see where my sister is."

He was so excited that his voice couldn't be contained, and Qin Yuezhi, who wasn't far away, heard him.

In public, Qin Yuezhi even if she was angry, still knew to give her murderous brother face. Following the sound, she walked over and saw the person before gritting her teeth and saying: "Qin Jingrui, get over here."

Qin Jingrui: "Brother-in-law, help me."

Qin Yuezhi only saw him holding his phone, unable to see who he was calling. She narrowed her eyes and asked, "Who are you calling 'sister-in-law'?"

"Miss Qin."

A familiar voice came from the receiver, and also from behind her.

Qin Yuezhi turned her head and came face to face with Huo Tingdong's sanctimonious expression.

“......”

This is... a real mess.

She pulled at the corners of her lips with a forced smile: "Mr. Huo, what a coincidence."

Huo Tingdong raised his chin slightly and gestured towards Qin Jingrui: "Unfortunately, it was your brother who called me."

Qin Yue's gaze darted between the two, when did they start conspiring behind her back? They should be handling this family matter themselves, yet they called him for help. She stared suspiciously at Huo Tingdong: "Why did he suddenly decide to change his major? To law no less? Did you give him some wrong advice?"

This was the second time today she had heard the word 'misleading'. Shen Wanci's mind couldn't help but recall the scene of Bo Jingzhou anxiously pulling her earlier, trying to prove his identity. She couldn't help but curl her lips.

I can't imagine how someone so incompetent could manage a company as large as the Bo family's.

Before, she also worked at the Bo company. Although she was just a lowly laborer back then, she could see even though she didn't understand. Back then, the company was well-organized, everyone had their own duties, unlike now, which is so chaotic.

It seemed like without Bo Jingzhou, the whole place had lost its backbone. Everyone was in disarray, even the security guards at the entrance didn't have their usual pep anymore.

Although Qin Jingrui was afraid of Qin Yuezhi, he wasn't a coward who would shirk responsibility and blame others. Even though he knew that Lawyer Huo could definitely control his sister, while he himself would only be beaten to a pulp.

He raised his voice, looking serious and said: "Sister, this has nothing to do with your brother-in-law. It was my own decision to transfer. I want to be a lawyer, to protect myself, and also to protect you and our parents. Last time, because the other party had power and influence, many lawyers were afraid to take the case. If it wasn't for your brother-in-law... I would still be in jail."

Qin Yuezhi was moved for two seconds because of his "protect you", then she was irritated by him being called "brother-in-law" over and over, “So what? You think he's imposing, do you want to be that imposing too?”

If conditions permit, she'd have to take two breaths of oxygen.

Qin Jingrui's voice boomed, "No, I want to be like Brother-in-law, a voice for the weak who are treated unfairly but have nowhere to turn."

Qin Yuezhi turned her head to look at Huo Tingdong beside her: "Do you feel ashamed after hearing this?"

At that time, she tried every means to get him to take the case. In desperation, she even resorted to going to his door in her clothes. However, she was still ruthlessly rejected. If it weren't for Shen Wanci's relationship with Bo Jingzhou, her foolish younger brother would still be in jail singing iron bars tears facing the moon.

Speak up for the weak? What a joke.

At that time, she still tried to move him with plotlines from idol dramas: “Lawyer Huo, you see, we are destined to be together. Because you’re a lawyer and my brother got into trouble, it proves that we must have been old souls reunited on the Stone of Three Lives, destined for a lifetime of love.”

And then the bastard coldly replied, "So are the funeral home workers supposed to be lonely?"

Listen, is this human language?

Huo Tingdong's expression remained unchanged: "I have always been so honest."

This person's face is so thick, not even a bullet could penetrate it.

Qin Jingrui was still there, eloquently talking about his lofty ideals. Qin Yuezhi couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted with a blank expression: "He took your case because my sister seduced him, tearing off his shirt buttons. Oh, and your older sister, she seduced her husband who hasn't been home for three years, so don't talk about any noble ideals, just try to repay me and your older sister."

Qin Jingrui: "..."

Shen Wanci: "..."

Ho Tingdong : “…”

The scene fell silent, a hushed stillness enveloping everything.

After a long pause, Qin Jingrui's voice boomed like a killing pig: " Huo Tingdong, you bastard, you actually took advantage of my sister! I'm going to kill you!"

……

Shen Wanci had just eaten a huge watermelon and was so full she declined Qin Yuezhi's invitation to dinner. When she returned to her apartment, she saw Bo Jingzhou standing at her door like a waiting husband. The man was still wearing the same clothes from noon, his eyebrows looking particularly deep in the shadows.

He looked at her, like a golden retriever kept outside by its owner.

Shen Wanci raised an eyebrow, her mood light and a smile playing on her lips: "Mr. Lu, what brings you here?"

Bo Jingzhou: "To prove to you that I am Bo Jingzhou."

"......Shen Wanci was silent for a few seconds, her gaze shifted from his face to his legs, swallowed hard, and said in a dry voice: 'Are you going to take off your pants and show me?' "
