Lin Shanchu narrowed her eyes and looked at the time.
It was 5:00 a.m.
It was early autumn and the days were getting shorter. The sky outside the window was still dark.
Lin Shanchu couldn’t help but yawn.
However, when she thought that she was on the phone with someone, she quickly held the phone away and covered it.
BoxNovel.comLin Shanchu scratched her head sleepily, but her voice sounded awake.
“To be frank, Miss Lin, I haven’t received such a big case worth 300 million yuan in a month, so I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep. I’ve done writing the indictment overnight. ”
Chu Gushen still sounded serious and steady. A month sounded so long like ten years to him.
Lin Shanchu was speechless for a moment.
An economic lawyer like Chu Gushen was often approached by listed companies and rich people. A case that was 300 million yuan was nothing to him.
He was not excited because of the case. He was so enthusiastic because he wanted to send Lu Shiyuan to jail.
After all, Lu Shiyuan was disrespectful towards him yesterday.
A person like Chu Gushen might look gentlemanly and refined, but once someone offended him, he would definitely think of a way to ruin them.
It was human nature to hold grudges.
Huo Xunzhou was like this, and so was Chu Gushen.
Yes, she was the same.
Lin Shanchu got up after the phone call with Chu Gushen.
She woke up earlier than usual today, so He Xiang had not woken up to make breakfast.
She did not call He Xiang. Instead, she went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Lin Shanchu and Chu Gushen had not signed the entrustment agreement yet. Chu Gushen said that he would come over later, so Lin Shanchu made a quick western breakfast.
As soon as breakfast was ready, He Xiang got up.
“Sister Lin, did you have insomnia again last night?” He Xiang looked at the time and confirmed that it was only 6:00 a.m.
“No, I didn’t.” Lin Shanchu served breakfast on the table and said, “Wash up and come down for breakfast. Lawyer Chu will be coming over later.”
“Oh!” He Xiang immediately ran to the bedroom.
Five minutes later, He Xiang came out after washing up and changing her clothes.
The doorbell rang as soon as the two of them sat down at the dining table.
“I’ll open the door!” He Xiang stood up and walked towards the door.
Lin Shanchu thought about it and followed He Xiang.
The visitor was indeed Chu Gushen.
He was holding a cup of coffee in his left hand and a document bag in his right.
He politely nodded at Lin Shanchu and said, “Miss Lin.”
“Please come in, Lawyer Chu,” Lin Shanchu said as she smiled at him.
The moment Chu Gushen entered the house, he smelled the fragrance of some kind of food. “Miss Lin, are you having breakfast?”
Lin Shanchu Imew that Chu Gushen was not the kind of person who would casually eat breakfast at someone else’s house, but out of politeness, she asked, “I was just about to eat breakfast. Lawyer Chu, have you eaten?” Unexpectedly, Chu Gushen answered seriously, “No, I haven’t.”
Lin Shanchu was speechless.
She had a feeling that Chu Gushen was different from when he helped her write the will, but she could not tell exactly what was different.
After Chu Gushen finished speaking, he looked at her calmly, waiting for her to say, “Let’s eat together.”
Since the atmosphere had reached this point, Lin Shanchu could only ask him to have breakfast together.
“Lawyer Chu, if you don’t mind, let’s eat together…”
“I don’t mind.”
Lin Shanchu looked at He Xiang with a confused expression and took Chu Gushen to the dining room.
Chu Gushen politely waited for Lin Shanchu and He Xiang to sit down before he picked up the fork and started eating.
After taking a bite slowly, he praised, “Miss Lin, your assistant’s cooking is really good.”
“Sister Lin made breakfast today,” He Xiang quickly explained.
“Miss Lin, I didn’t expect your cooking skills to be so good.” Chu Gushen was stunned.
“Sister Lin’s specialty is home-cooked food. It’s delicious,” He Xiangyu said proudly.
“Ahem, ahem!” Lin Shanchu cleared her throat suggestively.
He Xiang understood her intention and immediately quieted down.
At this moment, Chu Gushen took out his phone and took a photo.
When he took the photo, he carefully looked for a few angles. After taking the photo, he fiddled with his phone for a while.
Lin Shanchu suspected that Chu Gushen was posting the photo to his WeChat Moments, but she was too embarrassed to ask him.
After breakfast, Chu Gushen took out the entrustment agreement for Lin Shanchu to sign. Then, he briefly talked to her about the next steps.
“Miss Lin, after the court has approved the case and set a date for the trial, you can leave everything to me as an agent. The final result will definitely satisfy you.”
“Lawyer Chu, your strength is obvious to all. It’s natural that I feel at ease the most by leaving this matter to you.”
Lin Shanchu picked up her phone and said with a smile, “Let’s add each other on WeChat. It’ll be easier for us to contact each other later.”
“Alright.” Chu Gushen took out his phone. “Miss Lin, I’ll scan your QR code.”
After adding him on WeChat, Lin Shanchu put down her phone and saw Chu Gushen off.
As soon as the door closed, He Xiang ran over with Lin Shanchu’s phone in her hand, looking very eager.
“Sister Lin, look at Lavvyer Chu’s WeChat Moments. I saw him take a photo during breakfast just now. I think he might have posted it on his WeChat Moments!”
Lin Shanchu added Chu Gushen on WeChat because she wanted to see his Moments.
As they expected, Chu Gushen posted the photo on his WeChat Moments.
Chu Gushen: [The client this time is beautiful and kind. She even treated me to breakfast. [Image]]
He Xiang sighed, “Lawyer Chu looked so serious, but he actually posted such a post on WeChat Moments. He looks kinda of cute.”
“Cute?” Lin Shanchu patted He Xiang on the shoulder and said, “A man’s heart is incomprehensible. Don’t judge a book by its cover.”
He Xiang replied, “Oh.”
Lin Shanchu exited Chu Gushen’s Moments and noticed that there was a new notification in her Moments.
She was instantly stunned after tapping on it and taking a look.
Huo Xunzhou commented on Chu Gushen’s post.
Huo Xunzhou: [You just ate it when someone told you to?]
This comment seemed to be filled with inexplicable anger.
Lin Shanchu refreshed and saw Chu Gushen replying to Huo Xunzhou.
Chu Gushen replied to Huo Xunzhou: [Why do you care?]
Huo Xunzhou replied to Chu Gushen: [Heh.] Chu Gushen replied to Huo Xunzhou: [I didn’t post it to show you.]
Huo Xunzhou did not reply after that.
Lin Shanchu scrolled up and read their conversation again.
These two grown men quarreled like primary school students in the comments section. They really treated the mutual friends on the list as outsiders.
Lin Shanchu gave Chu Gushen’s post a like with ill intentions.
She really loved the feature where mutual friends would be notified when the other party liked and commented on their Moments.
She just liked it. After all, the awkward one was not her, but Huo Xunzhou.
Soon, a new message notification appeared on WeChat.
It was a message from Huo Xunzhou.
Huo Xunzhou: [You’re up so early?]
Lin Shanchu: [Yeah, I just finished talking to the lawyer about the case after breakfast. I’m scrolling through my Moments.]
There was no feeback from Huo Xunzhou’s end.
Lin Shanchu sent another message: [WeChat Moments is also wonderful today..]
