rain curtain(1/2)
The subscription ratio is insufficient, this is a sign of anti-theft, or the system is delayed. Su Qiao knew this very well, so she confused the audience and said: "The day I first came here, you told me that the old lawyer in the firm was unwilling to accept this
I was assigned the list. You guessed it, they really didn’t dare to come.”
She threw her leather bag on the grass, only cherishing a bottle of wine. The sweet smell filled the evening breeze, and she lowered her voice even more: "They usually form gangs in the company, plan carefully, and take advantage of everything. When it really comes to a pinch.
At the critical moment, they worked together to push me out..."
Lu Mingyuan is not the right person to listen to.
He quickly summarized what Su Qiao meant: "According to what you said, they work alone and work together to bully newcomers."
Then he said lukewarmly: "Can't you change companies? Is there only one law firm in Beijing?"
Phew, my back hurts when I stand and talk.
Su Qiao cursed in her heart.
She hugged the wine bottle tighter, rested her chin on the mouth of the bottle, and said tit for tat: "What about you, Lu Mingyuan, why don't you terminate your contract with Jiang Xiuqi's agency? Is there only one agency in London?"
Before Lu Mingyuan could answer, Su Qiao explained: "Actually, Jiang Xiuqi is very good to you. He tried his best and used all his resources to build momentum for you, but you two have completely different concepts."
She murmured: "My relatives are different. My brothers and sisters all want me to die."
The words were spoken in a small voice, and only she could hear them.
The lush grass became a scapegoat. Su Qiao vented her anger and pulled out a piece of grass, but its rhizomes were deeply rooted, bringing out a few pieces of soil, all of which sprinkled on her shoes.
"How much do you know about my father?" Lu Mingyuan suddenly squatted down and looked at Su Qiao, "Have you heard about what he used to do in the company?"
Su Qiao said without hesitation: "Be the assistant to the chairman."
Lu Mingyuan corrected: "That's what it says on the surface."
Su Qiao leaned forward and said: "The chairman is dead. On the day of his car accident, the entire road was blocked. As for what his assistant did secretly, is it important?"
Lu Mingyuan did not answer. From Su Qiao's perspective, he could see his Adam's apple and collarbone. With an attitude of appreciating art, she looked deeper into his collar.
The two are very close.
As expected, Lu Mingyuan stepped back and sat on the soft grass. He found a corner in this busy street.
If it is a sunny day, there will be many people sitting like him. Gray-feathered pigeons will also appear in groups, holding their little scarlet paws, competing for the bread crumbs falling from the sky.
At this moment, there was no one around.
Lu Mingyuan was silent for a long time and asked: "You lawyers don't care who your employer is, you can get things done if you pay them, right?"
Su Qiao laughed: "Besides me, how many other lawyers have you contacted?"
"You are the only one." Lu Mingyuan said.
When he said "You are the only one", his eyes never left Su Qiao's eyes. She stared at him unceremoniously, feeling a little itchy for no reason, and then her mouth became dry, so she took a big sip of wine.
Lu Mingyuan added: "You are quite dedicated."
Su Qiao replied: "You finally praised me once."
Lu Mingyuan said in confusion: "This is the last time."
He had no intention of wasting time. He stood up on the spot, faced Su Qiao who had just praised him from a high position, and issued an eviction order: "I will give you a return ticket."
Su Qiao took a deep breath.
The thing she hates most in her life is being misunderstood that she has no money.
Su Qiao said: "Before returning to China, I will fulfill your father's instructions and transfer the property to your name. Where your father has gone, whether you tell me or not, it doesn't matter. I don't want to know."
Probably because she drank wine and was in a bad mood, her cheeks turned redder.
She whispered: "You didn't believe me anyway."
Lu Mingyuan acquiesced to her accusation.
He said: "I don't want to accept the contract, you can't force it."
Su Qiao has certainly seen how stubborn Lu Mingyuan's character is. Even his cousin Jiang Xiuqi is helpless and speechless in front of him.
She unconsciously reached out and grabbed Lu Mingyuan's pants - this way of communication made her feel more secure and prevented Lu Mingyuan from turning around and leaving. But she pulled too tight, and her fingers seemed to touch his legs, like
A thug who takes advantage of the street.
Lu Mingyuan misunderstood: "If you pull my pants, I can't possibly agree to it."
Su Qiao shook his head and argued: "Listen to me, you must know the Great Fire of London in 1666. How many ancient buildings were destroyed by the fire, even St. Paul's Cathedral was not spared. The official death toll was only five, but the high temperature
No one can see the evaporated corpse."
Lu Mingyuan didn't understand what she wanted to express.
Su Qiao continued: "After the fire, the plague was eliminated in London. Because all the rats in the cellars were burned to death, the city became habitable again."
She said very cryptically: "The more you worry, the more you have to expose the problem. If you can light a fire... all the mice will die."
Lu Mingyuan looked at her with complicated eyes.
He asked: "Who will deal with the aftermath?"
Su Qiao took advantage of the wine and said, "Of course it's me."
After saying this, she felt something on the top of her head. Later, when she realized what she was doing, Lu Mingyuan patted her head lightly, his movements loose and rash.
Su Qiao could even imagine that his demeanor and mental activities were similar to stroking Lin Hao's border collie.
She picked up the wine bottle and stood up again.
"I want to clear the lawyer's name," Su Qiao put his hand on Lu Mingyuan's shoulder and said, "Lawyers don't do everything after receiving money. They only do legal things within the scope of their duties. Do you think other professions don't care about income?"
She expressed her own values: "If you drink enough water to satisfy your feelings, you are deceiving children."
Maybe God couldn't stand Su Qiao's Jiji Yingying and put a stumbling block under her feet. When she raised her feet forward, she happened to step on a stone. In addition, she had been squatting for a long time and her knees were sore and numb.
It fell forward and was about to fall on the grass.
There was a pair of hands holding her waist in the darkness. Because her shirt was silky, his fingers rubbed a distance, buckled her tightly, and then released her.
Su Qiao didn't expect Lu Mingyuan would help her.
She felt a little relieved. It was not in vain that she spent a lot of money to help him get the best exhibition hall in the gallery.
A few days later, Jiang Xiuqi personally brought the big news. He visited the house as usual, but the time was in the morning, and Lu Mingyuan hadn't gotten up yet.
Lu Mingyuan was bedridden, and Jiang Xiuqi hated the fact that iron cannot become steel.
He sat in the living room with a stack of documents and muttered: "It's half past ten, and Lu Mingyuan still hasn't gotten up. A twenty-four-year-old adult has no sense of time and stays in bed like a child. If he becomes famous in the future,
Are you going to refuse to see guests in the morning?"
Jiang Xiuqi's words were meant for Su Qiao. After all, in Jiang Xiuqi's view, Su Qiao was his cousin's girlfriend. His cousin was not a soft-spoken man, and his sister-in-law was quite sensible.
Su Qiao did understand the pronunciation of Jiang Xiuqi's words.
To avoid exposing her secret, she walked to the bedroom and opened Lu Mingyuan's door.
His bedroom was clean and tidy, and the two curtains were tightly drawn. It was another cloudy day today, and not a bit of light came through. Lu Mingyuan was lying on his side on the bed, covered with a dark gray down quilt. When he heard Su Qiao come in, he
He didn't even get up to greet the guests.
Su Qiao was inexplicably reminded of Sleeping Beauty.
Although she saw the dumbbells at the foot of the bed and the row of sharp knives on the table.
After locking the door, Su Qiao said: "Your cousin is here and he is urging you to get up."
"I'm getting up." Lu Mingyuan said.
Unless he was in a bad mood, he slept eleven hours a day. No one except Jiang Xiuqi blamed him for staying in bed.
There was a sketch of an oil painting placed at the foot of the bed. He stretched out a hand and fiddled with the frame. Then he pulled his shirt and sat up from the bed - only then did Su Qiao realize that Lu Mingyuan was not wearing any shirt.
The quilt was wrapped around his body, and she saw the light and naked shoulders and arms, and thought of the various figures in the huge portraits carefully carved by artists. They were naked and made people stop.
Lu Mingyuan reminded: "You stand in another direction."
Su Qiao immediately turned around and turned her back to him.
He quickly got dressed. He walked past her, opened the door, and walked toward the living room.
Jiang Xiuqi had already finished a cup of coffee. Seeing that Lu Mingyuan was late, Jiang Xiuqi got straight to the point and said: "In the past few nights, you should prepare more for the art exhibition and don't be busy with anything else."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Su Qiao.
Su Qiao knocked on the door. She and Lu Mingyuan had an innocent relationship. Even Lu Mingyuan himself explained: "Every night, I draw line drawings. I still have unfinished drafts."
"That's good," Jiang Xiuqi put his hands on his knees, facing Lu Mingyuan, and continued, "The company spent a lot of money to prepare an exhibition for you and four other authors. Now another employer has taken a fancy to you.
, his pricing is much higher than our company..."
Jiang Xiuqi said sincerely: "Lu Mingyuan, I have to admit that you are very lucky."
Lu Mingyuan has heard about this battle for wealthy families.
In February this year, he received an email from his father, who said that he would put aside his domestic affairs and come to Europe to relax.
He realized that his father wanted to remove himself from business disputes.
