Xiao Xin kept waving at her, urging her to hurry. This time it wasn’t like the last time when she had tricked Teacher Zhou, this was truly a matter of time running out. When she got home, she would take the initiative to contact Lin Zhe.
Lin Zhixuan had thousands of words he wanted to say, but he held them all back, only uttering:
“Okay, let’s add each other on WeChat first!” She was afraid she would change her number again and disappear like before, so she wanted to connect with all the ways she could.
“Good.” Shu Tinglan saw Lin Zhizhao’s familiar image sent a friend request, after passing through it, he turned off the phone.
Here, Lin Zhixuan added WeChat, then rushed to the airport without stopping. She was going to the city to see Shushu.
Right now, her emotions are just like when she was going to meet her first love. She hasn’t been this excited in a long time. Even when she married Fu Shenyi, she wasn’t this happy.
The flight she booked was only about two hours later than Tinglan’s, arriving in the city around 3 pm. Since she only had the address of her law firm, she took a taxi directly to the firm.
At this moment, only Lawyer Sun and Xiao Xin were left in the law firm. Lawyer Sun was leisurely drinking health tea and flipping through legal magazines in his office. Xiao Xin, on the other hand, was having a harder time. After returning from a business trip, he had to finish all the work that had been left behind. Lawyer Shu had it even tougher; after coming out of the airport, he went straight to meet clients. After meeting with the clients, he went to pick up his children from kindergarten.
When I was swamped, a stunningly beautiful woman with fashionable attire, completely out of place for the law firm’s atmosphere, kept confirming the address outside the door.
“Who are you looking for?” Since the other lawyers at the firm were also out, Xiaoxin had to come out to greet them.
“Is this Sun Lawyer’s law firm?” Lin Zhiyao wasn’t too sure, because with her family’s Shushu’s qualifications, it had to be a well-known and prestigious law firm. How could she possibly be in such a small storefront? Isn’t that a waste of talent?
The little girl in the results was very enthusiastic and replied, “Yes, are you looking for our lawyer Sun?”
Xiao Xin saw the person and felt a stir in her heart. “Wow, she’s so beautiful!” she thought. Her eyes were captivatingly bright, and as soon as she stepped into the law firm, it seemed to lose all its luster.
<<>>
Mr. Sun came out, and he was also momentarily blinded by Lin Zhi’s appearance. He always kept his distance from girls who were too beautiful because it wasn’t good for his health.
“Who are you?”
“Hello, Lawyer Sun. I’m looking for Lawyer Shu Tinglan.” Lin Zhifan spoke politely, after all, the other party was her daughter Shushu’s boss, and she couldn’t let her down.
“Attorney Shu went to see the client and won’t be back at the firm today. Do you have something for her? I can relay it or you can come back tomorrow.”
“Well, I’m her friend. Would it be possible for you to give me her address? ” She could have just asked Shu Shu for the address directly, but where would the surprise be then?
“It’s not convenient, you can call her since you’re her friend,” Xiaoxin wasn’t foolish; she wouldn’t just give out Lawyer Shu’s address to anyone. Lawyer Shu was a single parent raising two kids, so she was very cautious and had never told anyone her home address. She always had things delivered to the law firm if she bought anything online.
Lin Zhiwei was ultimately going to pay the price for his impulsive actions. He ran off to the city without bringing anything, empty-handed. He didn’t have any change of clothes or any money, just a phone which was almost out of battery.
“May I borrow your charger for a bit? I need to charge my phone.”
“It’s fine, go ahead.” Lawyer Sun was very laid-back. Anyway, the law firm often had clients coming in, so it didn’t matter if there was one more stranger charging their phone.
Xiao Xin also returned to her own desk and busied herself, but she was still curious about the person who came to find Lawyer Shu. After all, no matter how you looked at it, this beautiful woman in front of her didn’t seem like a friend of Lawyer Shu. Lawyer Shu was so plain!
She was busy, but she kept her ears pricked for any sound she made.
I could hear her on the phone with someone, even though she was whispering. Her voice sounded so sweet and playful.
“Someone else has plans tonight and can’t come back.”
“Then you should go have a drink with your friends, we all need our own space, right?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll go back after I finish my business.”
“Stop talking, my phone’s about to die.”
Fu Shenyi was worried over the phone, and Lin Zhi’ao was a little angry. She wasn’t a three-year-old child, what could possibly happen if she didn’t go back to sleep for a day.
As soon as he heard her phone battery was running low, Fu Shenyi became even more worried. His wife was pampered by him to the point where she didn’t take him seriously at all. She silently ran off to another city without telling him what she was doing? This is something he could bear, but if it were another man, try it?
“Lin Zhixuan!” Fu Shanyi called her out by name, his voice laced with real anger.
“Alright, alright, just wait until my phone is fully charged, and I’ll video chat with you.” After saying that, she hung up the phone. She had no idea Fu Shenyi would be so clingy! Since their marriage, they hadn’t spent a single day apart. She was getting tired of it, really.
She really doesn’t have any awareness of being a married woman.
The lawyer’s charger was as slow as a tortoise. After an hour of charging, they were about to clock out and had only reached 60%. Her phone wouldn’t feel secure until it was at least 80%, especially in a foreign city.
First things first, she needed to book a hotel online. As she was browsing through hotel information, the law firm’s door swung open, and in came two little kids, porcelain-doll alike, who bounced and plopped down next to the girl.
Xiaoxin saw the two little treasures from Lawyer Shu’s family come in and hurriedly put down her work, opening her arms to welcome them.
“How did you come here?”
“Mom said there were several packages that hadn’t been picked up, so I came to get them.”
When Mr. Sun heard this, he also came out of his office. It had been a while since he’d seen the two little guys, they seemed to have grown a little taller.
“Hello, Mr. Sun,” the two children politely greeted Mr. Sun, the lawyer.
Grandpa Sun??? He’s still middle-aged?

Lin Zhifei on the side was stunned, looking at Shu Tinglan in disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes. This was still her Shushu?
What kind of weird haircut is that?
What is he wearing? He’s dressed all in black, a black shirt and black pants, looking very dark.
He is still holding several express delivery parcels in his hands.
She stood there, staring at Shu Tinglan. Her heart was a tumultuous mix of excitement, heartache, and guilt.
Shuting Lan, upon entering, was only focused on the two children and didn’t notice Lin Zhifei. She thought he was just a client. It wasn’t until she felt his gaze upon her that she looked up.
Then the person was stunned, unbelievable, thinking they were dreaming.
“What’s up?”
The moment she called out Lin Zhi’s name, Lin Zhi couldn’t help but burst into tears.
“Shh!”
While crying, she reached out and hugged her, like a child.
