Jianghai City, in a private room of a restaurant.
Zhou Shirui raised her glass and downed it.
As he spoke, he talked about his experiences in Fusang over the years.
She said that she had suffered so many looks of disdain and grievances in the beginning. No one had entrusted a female lawyer from Xia country like her to file a lawsuit.
They questioned her ability, mocked her gender, and even denied all her efforts, saying that she could never succeed.
But how did Zhou Shirui do it?
Since she couldn't speak the language, she taught herself Fusang. No law firm was willing to accept her, so she ran downstairs every day and waited for them. She went to all the law firms in the capital.
In the end, only a female law firm that was on the verge of bankruptcy was willing to accept her.
Starting from an intern lawyer, leading the law firm to regroup, starting from the most trivial conflicts and quarrels between ordinary people.
Step by step, he settled trivial disputes for the owners of small shops, the division of property between husband and wife, the custom-made employee contracts for small factories... and later, the first big company to come to him...
Step by step, she saved the female law firm and became one of the top 1000 law firms in the capital city.
To the final top ten!
Even if he did not participate in it.
Hu Yang could also understand how difficult the past three years had been for her.
This woman really worked hard.
The two of them chatted as they ate.
He drank more and more wine.
Zhou Shirui drank one cup after another until her face was flushed red. Her eyes were infatuated and she could not speak properly.
"I'm sorry, Hu Yang. I really can't relax. I want to establish myself in this city. I want everyone to look up to me. I want to pursue an exquisite life. I don't want to live a hard life every day for daily necessities. I don't want to be like my mother. I've been a woman for my entire life, but in the end, I was abandoned by that heartless man.”
"I know you want me to be like an ordinary girl, from dating to getting married and having children, living a peaceful and happy life. I know, I really want to! But I can't do it! I want to make our lives better! I will work hard to get what I want. Even if I have to be covered in bruises, I will get it!”
"There are some things that I have to give up!”
"Fortunately, I succeeded. Do you know Hu Yang? When I became one of the most famous lawyers in Fusang, I was so happy. I wanted to find someone to share this joy with, but unfortunately, there was no one! After my mother passed away, you were the only family I had in this world!”
"Hu Yang, I really miss you. This time, don't abandon me, okay? Hu Yang, don't leave me alone again. I really don't have any family left. I only have you…"
At the end of her sentence, Zhou Shirui could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears.
Hu Yang had known her for so many years.
This was the first time he had seen her cry so pitifully and so pitifully. She had shown him her defenseless, vulnerable, and helpless side.
Other than shock.
Hu Yang also felt compassion.
Zhou Shirui had been under a lot of pressure all these years.
It turned out that under her strong appearance, her heart was also so fragile.
This was the real her.
"Don't drink anymore, Zhou Shirui, you're already drunk.”
Hu Yang couldn't help but advise.
"No…I'm not drunk. You…drink with me, Hu Yang. I want to drink. Let me get drunk…Ugh…Wuwuwu…Hahaha, Hu Yang, seeing you again today, burp…I'm really, really happy. You…you know what?”
Zhou Shirui was crying and laughing at the same time.
It was already past midnight.
Hu Yang had no choice.
He could only help her up and hug her in his arms.
She awkwardly paid the bill.
After leaving the restaurant, Hu Yang did not know what to do with her.
He wanted to bring her back to his rented apartment, but the room was too small and one bed was not enough.
He could only drive her to the nearest star-rated hotel near his house.
He booked a high-class suite at the front desk of the hotel.
Hu Yang carried Zhou Shirui all the way back to her room with difficulty.
Drunk people always became very heavy.
Moreover, Zhou Shirui was wearing an office uniform. If she was not careful, it would be revealed.
Hu Yang could only hug her by the waist like a princess. Zhou Shirui curled up in Hu Yang's arms, reeking of alcohol. Her breath was like orchids, and it tickled Hu Yang's neck.
He forcefully endured a trace of unusual restlessness.
Beep!
Hu Yang swiped his card to open the premium suite and carried Zhou Shirui in. He closed the door behind him and threw her onto the snow-white bed.
Zhou Shirui was lying on the bed defenseless. Her sleeping posture was seductive, and her seductive figure was exposed.
Her body temperature was too high after drinking, so she subconsciously unbuttoned her white shirt, revealing her snow-white skin, which was very dazzling.
He lay there motionlessly, mumbling unconsciously.
Hu Yang felt his mouth go dry.
He did not deny that Zhou Shirui was a very beautiful woman.
Back in school, she was given the title of the commoner school belle by some busybodies.
It was because her family background was not good.
She usually wore plain clothes, and even her school fees were earned through her part-time work.
When others were shopping, buying cosmetics, talking about celebrities, and using the pocket money given by their parents to go to 857 disco and drink.
She had been working part-time, writing papers, and doing internships.
She was the most hardworking girl Hu Yang had ever met!
At that time, Hu Yang was also attracted by her strength and hard work. He took the initiative to pursue a girl for the first time. After the two of them got together, everyone said that they were a good match.
Because Hu Yang was also the most handsome guy in the school at that time. Not only was he handsome, but his grades were also good. All the students thought that he would become a big lawyer after graduation.
He didn't expect things to change with the passage of time.
After so many years, she had met her lover in a hotel room.
Even though his body reacted instinctively.
However, Hu Yang had forcefully suppressed it. He could not take advantage of others, even if it was his ex-girlfriend.
Although if he went up now, there was a high chance that he could take it down.
After covering Zhou Shirui with the blanket.
Kacha!
The door closed.
Hu Yang left.
Little did he know.
The moment he closed the door.
Zhou Shirui, who was drunk and unconscious, quietly opened her eyes. She looked at Hu Yang's back and pouted her lips in dissatisfaction.
" Hmph…What a blockhead…He's already so proactive, yet he doesn't even know how to make a move. He's still that damn straight guy…"
