Chapter 244: Return to Senzhou

fully enjoying his service, feeling very justified. 。At the table next to hers sat a girl wearing a breezy sundress and a hat with sunglasses. Though her features were hidden, one could tell from her...Mrs. Fu glanced at him and continued, "Marrying for the wrong reasons is shameful!"There was something Mrs. Fu had kept in her heart for a long time: she always suspected that her son, Yi Mu Yang, simply didn't like women. 。I've dated a few times before, and I don't look like I'm in love at all. All the people around me are men. 。

While she was eating, she noticed that he seemed to be genuinely caring toward the other woman this time. However, she felt it was insincere; she thought he was interested in her because she had two children, and he could become a father without having to put in any effort. 。She can accept her son never getting married, but if he goes to deceive a woman into marriage, then she must stop it. 。Yi Muyang didn't know this wealthy woman's train of thought, nor did he understand how she could suspect his sexual orientation. Wasn't it obvious He could only say that she was spoiled by both him and her father, having too much free time!The mother and son went home together. 。"Are you really not into men" 。He answered without hesitation. 。But then she said with a cheeky grin, “Though it’s true that quite a few boys like me.” 。"Oh, no! Well, if you're truly sincere about her, that's all that matters. " 。"You didn't know that Mom just wouldn't dare talk to her too much, for fear that you were marrying her out of deceit. I feel guilty..."

"Then do you like her" Yi Muyang asked 。"We've only met once, and I don't really know her yet. It's too early to say whether I like her or not. Anyway, just go for it if you like her." 。Her situation is also special, she's bringing two children with her. You need to think this through yourself, make sure it has a beginning and an end, just don't hurt anyone. 。Mrs. Fu was both kind and enlightened, she deserved a happy life! After that, Yi MuYang and Mrs. Fu treated Shu Tinglan's house as their own, often dropping by for meals. 。Mrs. Fu's reasons were very valid; she couldn't stomach the dishes made by the other aunties at home. 。 。So every day when Shu Tinglan returned home, her house was lively and bustling, often giving her the illusion that they were already a family. 。Shu Xiaonian and Shu Xiaohe adapted very well to this pace. Finally, they could be like other children, with their dad and grandma picking them up after school every day. They were very happy. 。Mrs. Fu gradually got used to being called "Grandma" by the children. At first, she felt awkward and thought it made her sound old. But after a while, she actually enjoyed it. 。This has been the most relaxed period in Shu Tinglan's life in recent years. 。Just focus on your work each day. Aunt Liu takes care of the household chores, and Yi Mu Yang and Fu Tai look after the two children. There's simply no opportunity for her to get involved. 。Just then, one of Lawyer Sun's old clients introduced him to an economic dispute case involving a sum of over 3 million. Lawyer Sun is now semi-retired, but seeing Shu Tinglan in such good spirits recently, he decided to let her take charge of it. 。

This case happens to be about a renovation project. Lawyer Sun's client is the defendant, namely Wu Dezhong, the design director of Hongfeng Decoration Design Company. The plaintiff is Senzhou, a game development company. They are suing Wu Dezhong for alleged fraud and embezzlement of renovation funds during the renovation process, which resulted in the forced suspension of the game company's renovation project. 。As Wu Dezhong's proxy lawyer, Shu Tinglan needs to go to Senzhou to defend him in court. 。Shu Tinglan flipped through the case files, getting a general impression of the whole case. The difficulty of the case was not within her primary consideration; what she focused on was going on a business trip to Senzhou. 。

Morizhou The city where she had lived for so many years was now the last place she wanted to go. 。。Shu Tinglan hesitated a little. On one hand, it was a place he wanted to avoid, but on the other hand, it was an incredibly alluring case. 。

“Tinglan, think about it yourself >>> 。This case is very representative. Wu Dezhong's first-instance verdict has come down, sentencing him to 10 years in prison and depriving him of his political rights for 5 years. 。Wu Dezhong refused to accept it and appealed, which is how he found me to represent him in a defense for innocence. 。The impact of a not guilty plea, you know. 。If you win this case, you can transition very well afterwards and not have to deal with these petty family matters anymore. 。Of course, I will support you in the future. 。Shu Tinglan gritted her teeth and took on the case. She was going to Senzhou, so be it. Was she going to hide for the rest of her life And what was there to hide from By returning to Senzhou, she would go back with her head held high. 。

Xiaoxin had been listening quietly with her head bowed this whole time. As for Lawyer Shu's previous work experience, she kept her promise and remained tight-lipped, not saying a word to anyone. Now that she heard about her going on a business trip to Senzhou, Xiaoxin immediately volunteered to go with her. 。Shu Tinglan also wanted to take her along, so he let her book tickets for the two of them. 。This business trip was very reassuring. With the experienced Liu Auntie at home, and Yi Mu Yang always around the children, there's nothing more reassuring than that. 。And when Fu Tai heard that she was going on a business trip, possibly for a whole week, she immediately decided to take the two kids back to her big villa. She truly treated them like her own grandchildren. 。

And the children had already treated Yi Muyang and Fu Tai as family. This time, when their mother went on a business trip, they remained calm and even waved goodbye to her proactively saying "Bye Mom, we will miss you". 。So Shu Tinglan went to Senzhou with a light heart and no psychological burden. 。On the high-speed train, Xiaoxin couldn't help but ask: "Lawyer Shu, how many years did you live in Senzhou before""About 10 years, I went to university here..." 。She no longer shies away from talking about the past, and slowly lets go of it. 。"You must be familiar with Senzhou then It's so big! I almost got lost when I came to Zhuoyuan Technology for an interview before. The traffic is just too complicated." 。"I'm not very familiar either. " 。Although she had lived there for ten years, her life was always monotonous. Every day was a two-point line, from home to work, because her house was in the suburbs, so she had never been to many places in the city center. 。Later on, it was because she was with Zhuo Yunan that he took her to many places. 。After several hours on the high-speed train, I arrived in Senzhou. 。To say that she had no feelings for Senzhou was a lie. The city held so many of her memories, how could she possibly forget it 。The taxi whisked them to the hotel, passing countless familiar streets and buildings. A wave of bittersweet nostalgia washed over her, especially when they passed the iconic landmark building in the city center. She quickly averted her gaze. 。Xiao Xin was surprisingly excited, pointing at the building and saying:

"Lawyer Shu, look! That's the office building of Zhuo Yuan Technology. That's where I went for an interview back then." 。Shū Tīnglán remained silent. 。Xiaoxin was completely immersed in her excitement: “When I received their interview notice, I was so excited that I booked a ticket to come for the interview without thinking twice.” 。However, their legal department's lawyer Zhang was too strict, asking some tricky questions. Don't even get me started on how I couldn't answer them; many master's students couldn't either and were stumped right there on the spot. 。"Mr. Shu, you have done mergers and acquisitions for Zhuoyuan Technology before, so you must know Mr. Zhang, the lawyer, too, right"" Aunt Liu greeted respectfully."Yimu Yang, where did you hide Give me the address, I'll come pick you up."Aunt Liu glanced at Shu Tinglan, then whispered.“She's at her girlfriend’s place,” she implie...
