Working in the firm is very relaxing, and I commute to get off work on time every day. The dormitory provided by Li Yangxi in the firm means that he, Lawyer Lu, and Chen Mingyue live in a duplex building.
Ever since Lawyer Lu showed a different expression towards me during the orientation lunch that day, many people in the firm began to look at me with admiration, especially Sister Mingyue. She always liked to give me a stack of information and told me: "This is
I need it for the afternoon meeting, please help me make twenty copies."
I could stand in front of the copier all day long.
I thought maybe the people in the firm had misunderstood. However, Lawyer Lu didn’t say anything to me. He just cared about me more than before. For example, Sister Mingyue accidentally missed one of our portions during breakfast. Li Yangxi would
He gave me his share, and Lu Qiulang went to the kitchen himself to make me a sandwich.
This kind of thing is so weird that even a blind person can see where Sister Mingyue's hostility towards me comes from.
I thought I should ask Lu Qiulang for clarification, so that I would not suffer any unforeseen disaster? After working in the firm for half a month, I went to his office.
As soon as I arrived, I saw Li Yangxi knocking on the door and entering.
I thought they might have a case to discuss, so I simply came to see him later, but I heard Li Yangxi say: "Master, the DNA results are out."
They often investigate some cases in order to better defend their clients.
"How is it?" Lawyer Lu asked Li Yangxi.
"Buyu and you are indeed related by blood." The door was not closed tightly, and Li Yangxi's voice came into my ears very clearly.
I paused, fiddled with the materials in my hands, and pretended to do a last check before sending them in, but my ears perked up.
"Yeah." Lawyer Lu only answered with one word briefly, and then Li Yangxi said: "No wonder you treat her differently."
No wonder he gave me a strange look when he first met me in n city, and at the welcome lunch, he paid more attention to me. I remembered that Su Molu recognized me as the kid from back then.
, just because of the small birthmark on my ear.
So, Lu Qiulang once met me before I was eight years old?!
"You kid, have you misunderstood?" Lu Qiulang said.
Li Yangxi replied: "I didn't misunderstand, it was Sister Mingyue..."
"Okay, you can go out."
"Master, aren't you going to say something?" Li Yangxi did not come out directly, but asked hesitantly.
My heart was also in doubt. He asked Li Yangxi to test my DNA and his, but without my consent. He must have secretly collected my hair and other things to do this test. He did this test privately, and
It's not that he did it because he couldn't confirm my identity, but he didn't want to recognize me.
Lawyer Lu said: "It's not the time yet. She is only eighteen years old. She should finish her studies well."
What does recognizing me have to do with whether I am studying or not? Originally, I came to him to ask him why Dudu was so good to me. Now that I know the answer, I have another doubt. Since the incident with Sumino Hitomi,
I especially don't like this feeling of being in doubt.
I knocked on the door and handed in the cover-up information.
Lu Qiulang and Li Yangxi were both stunned. Li Yangxi reacted faster and immediately put the hand holding the portfolio under the table.
I smiled, walked over, and placed the documents in front of Lawyer Lu. However, I deliberately let go when I was about to put them on the table, and the documents slid over the edge of the table and fell to the ground.
Li Yangxi came to pick it up for me, and he put the file bag at his feet. I took it over and he wanted to snatch it back, but he was stopped by my firm eyes.
This is the first time I have seen such a report. As Li Yangxi said, the report shows that Lu Qiulang and I are related by blood. So, the man in front of me is thirty-six or seventeen years old. He has returned to China after studying and is famous at home and abroad.
Who is Lawyer Lu Qiulang in the legal profession to me?
My eyes moved from the portfolio to Lu Qiulang, looking straight at him.
Lu Qiulang pursed his lips slightly, sat on the sofa in the reception area, and gestured for me to sit down too.
I thought he must have a story to tell me. I walked over, straightened my denim shorts with suspenders, and sat down opposite him. Li Yangxi was afraid of disturbing our chat, so she closed the door when she walked out.
"Buyu, oh, no, I should call you Xiaoyu." Lu Qiulang said.
I looked him up and down, and it turned out that when I first met him in city n, I found him friendly, not entirely because I had seen his information or photos before, but because of this blood relationship.
"I am your uncle!" Lu Qiulang explained.
When I heard the name uncle, I thought of Jun Changqian again. I remembered that I didn't like to call him uncle before, but he corrected me with complicated eyes, over and over again, and finally I called him uncle. Later, I
I fell in love with him, and he fell in love with me. When we were in love, when we were in harmony, he asked me to call him "Qian". Such an intimate word became a taboo in my life more than three months ago.
I originally thought that at least there was still a relationship between guardian and ward, but how ironic it is that now that my biological uncle has appeared, is it true that there is no relationship at all between me and him?
Apart from hatred, what else is left?
"You must not remember me." Lu Qiulang had completely returned to normal. He poured me a cup of tea and seemed much more relaxed and comfortable. After continuing to sit down, he crossed his legs and said, "The last time I saw you, you were only two years old.
"I still can't pronounce my uncle clearly. He chased me with his fat little legs and called me 'Dudu' all the way."
Talking about my childhood, he laughed. He took a sip of tea and seemed to remember something. His eyes became confused and sad: "That year I left home and went to the United States. My eldest brother and sister-in-law said,
It’s hard to find a college student in our village and town, and it’s even harder to find a college student who goes abroad. So they took out a loan to send me to study in the United States, and I was in debt.”
"I stayed in the United States for several years. After graduation, I studied finance and got a position on Wall Street. When I returned to China ten years later, my family had long since fallen apart. People in the village said that my brother and sister-in-law had an accident. They died in the car accident, and you also
Missing. My mother couldn’t bear the blow and was bedridden. Before I came back, she..."
I couldn't remember anything except the pool of blood, which looked like azalea and replayed in my dreams several times, which was shocking.
A tough guy like Lu Qiulang actually had red eyes when he stated this matter.
I sat there in a daze, my mind a little dazed. When I was at Jun Changqian's house, I had thought about it countless times, what would my parents be like? After seeing Mrs. Cen's love for Cen Yetong
At that time, I was also asking myself, if my mother were around, would she be as gentle to me as Mrs. Cen?
However, Lu Qiulang told me this cruel fact. My memory before the age of eight has not been completely restored, but the only remaining horrific scene that I remember every time I dream is not difficult to imagine that what Lu Qiulang is saying is the truth.
.
"I just told Yang Xi not to tell you because I heard from Yang Xi that you don't remember what happened when you were a child, and once I get to know you, I will definitely tell you this cruel fact." Lu Qiulang stood up and left.
He went to the window and looked out the window, seeming to be trying his best to calm down his emotions.
A moment later, he stood in front of me again: "I know it may be difficult for you to accept this fact, Xiaoyu, uncle just wants to tell you that you are not alone in this world, there is also me, and the same thing flows in our bodies.
blood..."
My nose felt sore, I stood up and got into his open arms.
It is hard to imagine that when I first joined the company, I treated him as a stranger, but once I confirmed his blood relationship with me, I could run into his arms without any scruples.
Tears rolled down my face. How long had it been since I had such a solid feeling? More than three months, or longer?
"Okay, Xiaoyu, don't cry. Let's go and let Mingyue cook while we have a drink." Lu Qiulang stroked my hair and said.
Li Yangxi pushed the door open and came in: "Master, I'll go make a reservation at the restaurant. You found your relative without a word, and you also found her. We have to celebrate properly."
"Are you treating me to a treat?!" Lu Qiulang looked at him with a smile, and Li Yangxi said: "I'll treat you to me. I just published a paper a while ago and got a huge fee. I was about to invite you and Buyu
It’s time to eat. It’s better to choose a different day.”
Li Yangxi was actually happier than me. She closed the door with a smile and called to make a restaurant reservation.
"Xiaoyu, I heard what Yang Xi said about you. Silly boy, you have to look forward to everything, you know?" Lu Qiulang's eyes were looking into the distance, as if he was thinking about something.
We went to have dinner together to celebrate, so naturally I had to call Sister Mingyue. When I learned that Lu Qiulang was my biological uncle, Sister Mingyue smiled happier than anyone else. She shouted that she wanted to have two drinks after dinner.
Lu Qiulang frowned slightly, unable to resist Sister Mingyue's repeated requests, so he had to use me to refuse: "Xiaoyu is not suitable for going to bars."
"No, Master, Buyu is already eighteen years old, and middle school students younger than her have started clubbing." Li Yangxi also looked very excited.
Lu Qiulang looked at me, as if he was asking for my opinion. I smiled and said nothing. Out of the four people, one abstained, one objected, and two agreed. The minority obeyed the majority. After dinner, Lu Qiulang drove, and a group of four
People went to the bar to kill.
The law firm is located in the city center of Q City, and Q University is still some distance away from the city center. Traffic jams are unavoidable in the city center. Li Yangxi said: "I never thought that such a dramatic thing would happen in this world."
I have encountered more dramatic things than this. He knew Jun Buyu who was protected and doted on by Jun Changqian, not the little girl begging on the street.
The neon lights flashing along the way gave me the illusion that Jun Changqian was taking me to an appointment with Yu Bei and Le Siyuan when we were still in City S.
