Chen Jie continued to drink in the private room. It seemed that Zhou Fan had gone to have fun again. The bottle of 1985 Lafite next to him was almost empty. Perhaps it was because of the strong after-effects of the wine, he felt like there was a ball of fire rolling in his stomach. He had never thought that his alcohol tolerance could be so good. He could still think normally after drinking so much.
He took off his jacket and looked at the watch on his wrist. He had been waiting for almost half an hour, but the lady who came to accompany him had not returned. He laughed at himself and felt that he was really ridiculous. He actually stupidly drank for half an hour just to wait for a lady. After finishing the last bit of wine in the glass, it was clear and fragrant. He picked up his jacket and walked out of Qin Harbor.
It was already late autumn, and the night wind was a little cold. He found a tree trunk behind the street lamp and leaned against it. He took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
After waiting for about five minutes, a black Chevrolet stopped in front of him. The person in the car rolled down the window and looked at him, who was holding a suit jacket in his hand and leaning against the tree trunk with his head lowered. The light of the street lamps shone through the branches, covering his body in mottled spots. In the hazy color, his black hair danced in the night wind. This was a perfect man. Who knew which lucky woman would be able to get his favor? She shook her head and said,"Get in the car.”
He raised his head and looked at the person who was talking to him through his messy hair. He walked over and got into the car."Thank you, Wang Xuan."
The heater in the car was turned on, and the alcohol began to take effect in his body, making him feel a little dizzy.
Wang Xuan looked at him through the rearview mirror. I should be the one thanking you for using your car.”
He leaned back in the back seat and said nothing.
She paused and asked,"Why did he let you drink so much?"”
Of course, Chen Jie knew who 'he' was referring to, but they had never mentioned this person. Today, she took the initiative to ask. Could it be that she could talk about Zhou Fan?
"No, he left not long after.”He replied perfunctorily.
"He must have abandoned you to look for Miss!”Wang Xuan was familiar with Zhou Fan. After a while, she said in an extremely low voice,"I'm very glad that I didn't become that annoying and resentful woman.”
The tiredness was like a flood that engulfed the entire place. Chen Jie grunted softly and fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already ten o'clock at night. He felt thirsty and went downstairs to get some water.
Aunt Julia was sitting alone in the bright living room. When she saw him coming down the spiral staircase, she said,"Come down quickly and drink some hangover tea. Then go upstairs to take a shower and change your clothes. Otherwise, when your father comes back and notices, he will scold you again.”
Aunt Julia had always doted on him, covering up for him no matter what. In their family, the story of a loving mother and strict father was vividly portrayed. Father Chen was a very strict person. In the past, he would tremble whenever he spoke to him, regardless of whether he was the one speaking to him or not.
This seemed to be a habit. He had been afraid of his father since he was young. In the past, whenever he made a mistake, he would be beaten up ruthlessly regardless of how big or small it was. The lightest was a scolding. As his father grew older, he was no longer as violent as he was when he was young. He would only educate him verbally from time to time.
He scratched his messy hair and sat on the sofa."Is Dad not home?"
Aunt Julia smoothed out his messy hair." I went out for dinner with an old classmate today. It's your supervisor in graduate school, Professor Qin.”
The nanny brought over some hangover tea. Aunt Julia took it and said,"Quickly drink it."
He obediently took the tea and was about to drink it. "It was Wang Xuan who sent you back today.”
"No, there's nothing between us."”
After saying that, he put the cup to his mouth again. Before he could drink it, he heard the sound of a key piercing.
"Quick, stop drinking! Your dad is back, go upstairs first.”Aunt Julia snatched the teacup.
Father Chen changed into slippers at the entrance and asked,"Is Chen Jie back?" Father Chen was always like this, calling him by his full name.
Chen Jie was going upstairs. He calculated that even if he sprinted up the stairs at the speed of a hundred-meter sprint, Father Chen would still see him walking into the living room. Instead of doing that, he might as well face him directly."Yes."
"Don't go up yet. I have something to discuss with you.”
It was a discussion, but it was actually a decision, and Father Chen had always ordered him to do this and that like a superior officer, and he could only obey.
"Can't you say it tomorrow? The child had been working all day and was quite tired.”Aunt Julia said.
"What's so tiring about it! It was his own choice to become a lawyer back then. It had only been three years, and he was already tired?”Father Chen sat on the sofa and spoke in his usual stern tone.
He was a little annoyed. He was especially annoyed that his parents quarreled because of him. He walked downstairs.
"Why is there such a strong smell of alcohol in the house?" Father Chen questioned. Chen Jie, did you drink?"
He nodded and prepared to receive his father's so-called 'education of love'.
Unexpectedly, Father Chen didn't say anything and only asked,""Who did you drink with?"
He was stunned for a moment before he replied,"With Fan."”
Father Chen picked up the hangover tea on the coffee table and handed it to him."Why don't you know how to avoid arousing suspicion? Why are you still playing with him?”
Aunt Julia said," What's there to hide? It's not our son's fault. We can only blame our son for being too outstanding. He charmed others so much that they even canceled the wedding.”
"Enough!" Father Chen scolded in a low voice. You still think it's a glorious thing; My face has been completely thrown away by you and your son!”
When Chen Jie saw Aunt Julia's expression change again, he reckoned that they were going to quarrel again. His parents had been like this for half of their lives. They wouldn't argue big, but they would never stop arguing small.
"Dad, didn't you have something to discuss with me?”He changed the topic.
"Your tutor has an important criminal law class tomorrow, and he'll be interacting with the students. In fact, he wanted to train the students to be calm and agile. At the same time, it could also be used as a mock exam! However, he had just received a call that there was an important meeting that he needed to attend. So he asked you to substitute for him. When he came to look for you, you weren't around, so I agreed on your behalf. This shouldn't be difficult for you, right?”
Although Father Chen had never been optimistic about her becoming a lawyer, he knew that he had long approved of his choice. Speaking of which, last time, he fought a rather complicated lawsuit. To be honest, the chances of winning were not high. It was very difficult to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the parties concerned and reduce the legal responsibility of the client. But he loved challenges. According to tradition, his parents would go to see it every time. To be honest, he really didn't want Father Chen to go that time.
Coincidentally, Father Chen really didn't go that day, and a "silver lining" appeared later. The presiding judge gave the verdict that there was insufficient evidence to temporarily suspend the trial. When Father Chen had come to pick them up, he had accidentally overheard Father Chen praising him in a sarcastic tone after listening to Aunt Julia."I didn't expect your son to be so amazing. He won half of the lawsuit with such a small chance of winning.”
"Alright, I'll go!" He agreed very straightforwardly.
