Chapter 26 - Pigeons

Ying Yue looked at Qiao Anya and actually started to relax.

"Hello, it's me, Ying Yue." Ying Yue turned her back slightly and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Ying Yue, let's meet tonight. I'll go pick you up after you get off work." Gu Lin's voice was still filled with magnetism.

"No need, I'll go look for you. Coincidentally, I have something that I want to talk to you about." Ying Yue finally said it out loud.

"Fine, we'll meet at the same French restaurant as last time. I'll wait for you at 6 o'clock."

"Alright."

After hanging up, Little Zhang heaved a long sigh of relief. If Gu Lin really did accept this case, then the case would definitely be won.

"Miss Jo, you heard it right? Can you relax now?" Ying Yue wore a faint smile on her face, but her heart was in turmoil.

"Is that so? Ying Yue, are you showing off to me? " "Gu Lin said that he would meet with you, but it's hard to say whether or not he will accept this case. Moreover, even now, he still hasn't announced the news of his marriage to you.

He sneered coldly as the sour taste in his mouth grew increasingly stronger.

"Little Zhang, do you know?" Ying Yue looked at Xiao Zhang and said, "Just now, when Miss Jo came in, I smelt a special smell. The fox spirit's stench and the aged vinegar's taste had a perfect combination. It was really dense, so thick that I wanted to vomit."

"Ying Yue, don't be too proud. We'll talk about it when Gu Lin accepts your case. Be careful and be happy too soon, it's all for nothing."

Originally, I thought that a small case like Wu Le Jun was not worth our family's Gu Lin's help, but after you scolded me just now, I made up my mind. Miss Jo is right, why didn't I find my husband, the renowned lawyer Gu Lin, to help?

Ying Yue nodded towards Qiao Anya, then gently lifted the cup of water and took a sip.

Qiao Anya was so angry that she had nothing to say. She had wanted to act out a show for the Splashing Water Festival, but the clever Little Zhang had already taken away the cup of sour plum juice in front of her.

"Hmph, Ying Yue, just you wait. Gu Lin will be mine sooner or later." Because of that phone call, Qiao Anya was truly angered. Her arrogance, her infatuation, and deep feelings for her, had actually been defeated by this little journalist, Ying Yue, whom she disliked no matter how she looked at. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

"Miss Jo, I will wait. Don't be anxious, get ready, and try to turn this bus of yours into a more beautiful one. If it's like this, maybe you won't lose so badly, understand? This is my most heartfelt and sincere suggestion as an opponent. "

Qiao Anya no longer retaliated, she grabbed her bag and left in a huff. Just as he walked to the door, a meticulous attendant blocked her way.

"Miss, your cup of sour plum juice has yet to be settled."

"Here you go." Qiao Anya flung down the one hundred yuan and opened the restaurant's door, stepping on the high heels and leaving without looking back.

"Miss, here's your change." The professional waiter raised the change in his hand and shouted loudly.

"There's no need to look for it." Ying Yue walked over to pay the bill and said, "That young lady had a good encounter today, so I decided to give all of the money to you for your expenses."

"Right, little girl, there's no need to be polite. Take it and spend it." Little Zhang was beaming with happiness.

Other than the dining room, Little Zhang dialed her number and said, "Sister Ying Yue, I won't be going back to the magazine this afternoon. I'll be looking for Wu Le Jun directly. I think she'll be very happy to hear the good news."

"Let's wait until I talk to Gu Lin first." Ying Yue frowned slightly and let out a long sigh. She was no longer as happy as before.

"Why? Isn't it certain?" Little Zhang whispered as he looked at Ying Yue's back.

She didn't know if it was right or wrong to ask Gu Lin for help on this case. What if he agreed, what if he didn't agree, and how much did she know about Gu Lin?

Yes, they were husband and wife, and although they could not make the same scene, at least they were respectful to each other. To put it bluntly, they were simply strangers. Neither of them had entered the role of husband or wife in this lightning-fast marriage.

Since they were strangers, how could they ask for his help?

Ying Yue's mind was in a mess. She went back to the magazine in a daze and worked like a workaholic to take on a lot of work, regardless if it was her own or his.

The editor stopped Little Zhang who was holding onto a document and was about to walk over, "What happened to her? What happened today? "

This was because the editor was very clear that every time Ying Yue encountered an unhappy situation, she would work like a madman, bringing the little madman in her body to its peak.

"Nothing, just..."

"Little Zhang, where's my information?" Before Little Zhang could reply, Ying Yue rushed over. The editor waved her hand and observed for a good while. She was still thinking if Ying Yue's worries were related to her stealing food last night.

Ying Yue, who had completely fallen into workaholic mode, raised her head again. The sky had already completely darkened, and the clock was pointing at the 8 o'clock position. It had already been 2 hours since their 6 o'clock.

She should have left by now. Ying Yue sighed and was debating whether she should go see him or not.

After a final mental struggle, Ying Yue decided to completely leave the pigeons behind. It was already late, and based on her understanding of lawyers, being late was something they disliked the most, as lawyers never had the habit of waiting for people.

"Forget it, I'm not going. I'm going to work." Ying Yue sat back down, returned to her computer, and continued typing.

Suddenly, Comrade Amy who had just announced her departure, appeared in front of Ying Yue with a look of unwillingness.

"Ying Yue, if you kick me out, do you think that you'll be able to keep your position as the chief lawyer of the magazine?" Amy sneered as he walked to Ying Yue's desk and insolently flipped through the folders on it.

"Amy, if you're here to cause trouble today, I suggest that you stop." Ying Yue was very clear on how Amy hated her for being chased out of the magazine.

"So what if I don't stop? Could it be that you want to call the police? Ying Yue, do you dare?" Amy kicked away Ying Yue's chair, and just as he was about to crazily push away all the documents on the table, he pounced towards her.

"If it wasn't for you, how could I have been kicked out of the magazine? Ying Yue, I won't let you off so easily."

"You did it yourself." Ying Yue held her back, "No matter how much trouble you make, you've already been expelled."

Ying Yue pushed Amy down onto the table with a force of her hand.

Just as Ying Yue was about to catch her breath, Amy pounced on her again.

Ying Yue was stunned. At this moment, Gu Lin suddenly appeared.
