Each small company has its own contract rules, and the major large companies also have their own rules and regulations, which means that there is no need to unify all the rules and regulations, but she must develop a template that can be shared. So she now has to study most of the contract rules first.

The assistant brought her in three stacks of copies of the contract regulations.

Mike raised his eyebrows when he saw it: "Wow, it's time to come on, Yan, you have to read these first." ”

This work is impossible to complete alone, and it is said that because she cooperated with Mike last time, she also cooperated directly with Mike in the Cheng family's contract.

Yan Yu smiled, the black pen pressed against her chin, she raised her eyelids, and her amber pupils were full of smiles: "You have to watch it too." ”

Of course, Mike also has to read it, this is the most basic dossier reading, and he deliberately made an exaggerated sad expression: "God, I am about to be squeezed by the capitalists, the Lu Group has put pressure on me, and the person in charge of the Dutch Imperial Shipping has also put pressure on me, as a lawyer, I can only survive in the cracks." ”

Yan Yu bent his eyes: "Have you made an appointment with the people of Dutch Imperial Shipping?"

Mike shrugged his shoulders: "The appointment is made, but I heard that there will be another appointment over there, what else can we do, we can only obey." ”

Yan Yu curled his lips: "It's a pity that we all have to live on the handouts of the capitalists, not to mention, for the sake of money, we should also work hard." ”

"Yes. Mike pushed his glasses.

Yan Yu took a deep breath, lifted the sleeve of his sweater, and exhaled softly, picking up a large stack of papers from the side and placing them on the table.

Pick out the red pen and start taking notes as you read.

Yan Yu was very serious when he worked, his eyelashes were drooping, and the tip of his nose was slightly curled, Mike looked at her with a smile, withdrew his gaze, and continued to work.

The two of them were busy until 7 p.m., the office was still busy, the front desk operator was also busy, and there were constantly lawyers in suits walking around anxiously to get documents, and the sound of footsteps overlapped.

Yan Yu raised her head and saw that it was getting dark outside, she leaned back in her chair, pinched the bridge of her nose, closed her eyes, massaged her temples for a while, and stretched.

Mike asked, "Let's get off work, I can't finish watching it today anyway, so I'll be busy tomorrow." ”

Yan Yu nodded, she also missed the little star, and she had to go back to accompany her.

But when she stood up, she still packed several documents, packed them in her bag, and carried them back together.

Mike saw it, raised his lips and smiled: "The female lawyer's luxury bags all look like fakes. ”

Yan Yu raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

Mike said: "Because the female lawyer didn't care about the bag at all in order to pack the file, she just stuffed a large stack into it at random, and it looked like she was treating a fake." ”

Yan Yu looked down and saw that her YSL bag was indeed stuffed to the brim, and it was about to burst, and she couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

The two went downstairs together, and in the elevator, Mike invited: "I'm going to have a drink, Yan, are you going?"

Yan politely refused: "No, my daughter is still waiting for me at home, Mike, I wish you a nice evening." ”

Mike smiled: "There is a little sweetheart waiting at home, it's me, and I can't wait to get home soon, but if there is no one waiting at home like me, I can only choose to go out and ask my sister for a drink." ”

Yan Yu laughed.

The two parted at the door of the law office, threw the bag into the passenger seat, found the key, started the car, and saw Mike's car passing by, she smiled and waved her hand.

When he arrived at home, Xiaoxing heard the sound of the car engine, and quickly ran out, hugged Yanyu's legs, raised his head, and his eyes were full of shining smiles: "Mom, have you eaten?"

Yan Yu hadn't eaten yet, but when Xiaoxing finished eating, she sat opposite Yan Yu, looking at Yan Yu with her chin propped up, her eyes smiling, and her voice was as soft as a marshmallow: "Mom, are you free on Saturday?" The teacher is going to take us to London to see the art exhibition, but the teacher said that this is a parent-child activity, and parents need to participate. ”

Saturday?

Yan Yu pursed the corners of her lower lip, she has been busy lately, but-

She raised her eyes and met the longing gaze of the little star, and her lips raised a shallow arc, no matter how busy she was, she had to spare time to accompany her daughter.

*

On Saturday, the sky was blue, white clouds floated on the pale blue sky, and the cold of spring had not yet dissipated, but the warm light had already dispelled a slight cold.

Yu Yu dressed up the little star seriously, the little star wore a pink woolen skirt and a rolled-up sun hat, hanging softly on her head, her dark hair in the sun, looking soft and docile.

Xiaoxing put on her own little leather shoes, carefully buckled the buckle with her little hands, glanced at her, and put the prepared small schoolbag on her back.

"Alright. Yan Yu lowered his eyes and looked at her for a while, very satisfied.

The school bus outside had already come, and the nanny aunt was watering the flowers in the yard, and she shouted into the house: "Madam, the school bus is coming, and the teacher is urging." ”

Yan Yu picked up the little star, grabbed his bag, stepped on 10 cm high heels, and strode towards the door.

The pace is steady and fast.

This is all a combination of working women and single mothers in the past few years.

The teacher touched Little Star's head, smiled at Yan Yu, and then arranged a place for Yan Yu and the two of them, and there were already many parents and children in the car.

Xiaoxing smiled and bent her eyes, she was very popular, she was soft and well-behaved when she saw everyone, and greeted her all the way.

"Hi Jackson, good morning!hi, maria, I miss you so much, this is my mom......"

Yu put on the seat belt for the little star, and the little star took off the sun hat, and the black eyes were wet, like glass beads washed by the rain.

She leaned curiously on the window, her eyes dark and her eyelashes long and thick.

After she finished reading it, she turned her head and raised her face: "Mom, do you know? This is the first time I've hung out with so many children and mothers!"

Yan Yu pinched the tip of her upturned little nose: "So, are you happy?"

She nodded happily, her eyes shining, like a meteor falling: "I'm so happy, so happy!"

Soon the long-distance school bus picked up all the children and drove towards the city of London, and a child in the front seat turned his head, leaned on the back of the chair, smiled at the little star, and asked curiously: "Star, did your father go to work? Why didn't he come with you today?"

Most of the children in the car today came with both parents.

Hearing this, she pursed her lower lip, her heart jumped, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at Xiaoxing, although in the past few years, in addition to when Xiaoxing first arrived in the UK, she would mention Lu Yan from time to time, and rarely mentioned it later, she didn't know if Xiaoxing had forgotten Lu Yan or didn't want to mention it again, but no matter what, she was still afraid that Xiaoxing would care about this.

Because she knows how important a father is to a child's development.

In the past few years, because Xiaoxing lacks the company of his father, Yanyu's love for Xiaoxing has always been double.

Yan Yu's eyelashes trembled, she saw that Xiaoxing didn't speak, swallowed her throat, and just wanted to answer for Xiaoxing.

Xiaoxing spoke by herself, her eyes blinked, and her eyes sparkled: "My dad went to work, but my mom and I didn't live with my dad, I am a child, but not all children have to live with mom and dad." She said, her big dark eyes shining brightly, "I'm the same as McDull." ”

After watching the Hong Kong animation McDull by himself, Xiaoxing also gave the children Amway this cartoon.

The kid who asked the question didn't have any malicious intent, his eyes lit up: "Xing, is your father also the prince of pineapple oil?

Little Star nodded vigorously, smiling a little shyly.

In fact, her impression of her father is already very vague and vague, and she has set up an image for her father, he has gone to the end of the world, and he has gone to be a prince.

Xiaoxing remembered the teacher's words to comfort her, and the teacher said: "Dad and Mom are both **free people, everyone's personality is **, they gave birth to you, they have the responsibility to take care of you, but they also have their own ideals to realize, and their ** personality pushes them forward, which is the value of people." Star, maybe your dad has fulfilled his dreams and missions, just like Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, and Iron Man, to save the world. ”

Xiaoxing felt that what the teacher said made sense, not to mention, her mother and Uncle Qin loved her very much, she was very happy every day, she was very happy without her father's company, and she might be even happier with her father's company, but she was very satisfied with it now.

Because the car was going to travel for several hours, Yan Yu closed the curtains, took out a small blanket from her bag, covered the little star, and let her sleep in her arms.

Yan Yu touched the cheek of the little star, and the tide in his heart was soft like a lake.

Little Star sensibly made her feel distressed.

She smiled, she was really a big-hearted and easily satisfied child.

The other children in the car also quieted down, Yan Yu took out the documents from his bag, and carefully browsed them from top to bottom, although it hurt his eyes, but he still needed to race against time, and Mike was still waiting for her reply.

Most of the children around me also fell asleep.

*

This is a children's art exhibition, and the exhibition is very quiet, and the visitors walk very quietly, without any high-minded talk.

Little Star froze on a map of the starry sky, and she took Metaphor's hand and motioned for her to look at it.

Yan Yu also stood still, his eyes were fixed to appreciate this oil painting, the clear summer night sky, full of shining stars, this young author has strong brushstrokes, dark blue whirlpools tossing and turning in the starry sky, the lower part of the field lines are delicate, but the sky above is rough.

Yan Yu didn't know much about painting, and the narrator on the side saw her stay next to the painting, and began to explain to her softly: "The owner of this painting is very young, so there are many details that have not been handled well, but it is precisely because he is young that he has a lot of his own understanding of painting and nature. ”

Xiaoxing clenched Yanyu's hand and whispered, "Mom, I like this painting very much, it's so beautiful." ”

The words are also good, but she just thinks that after looking at this painting for a long time, it seems that it will make people feel a little uneasy, and the author's heart is too calm, too calm, but it makes people perceive his restlessness and restlessness.

It's not like the work of a child.

Little Star opened her dark eyes, looked at the docent, and innocently asked, "Auntie, I like this painting very much, can I buy it?"

Yan Yu was stunned for a moment, reacted, and hurriedly apologized to the commentator: "I'm sorry, she's too young, so I don't know if the paintings here are not for sale." ”

The narrator waved his hand and was about to say something.

A boy's voice came from behind him: "When the exhibition is over, I can give you the painting." ”

Yan Yu and Xiaoxing turned around together, looked at the person who came, Yan Yu was stunned, and found that the boy who came was Lu Shumu.

Lu Shumu was wearing a small suit, stepping on shiny leather shoes, pursing his lips slightly, his eyebrows stretched, he looked at Yan Yu, and then looked at the little star held in the palm of his hand by Yan Yu.

Xiaoxing didn't react, she looked at Lu Shumu blankly, she blinked her big eyes, a little stunned, and after a while, her eyes widened: "Oh, it's my brother that day!"

Hearing this, he lowered his eyes and looked at the little star: "What?"

Little Star said, "It's my brother I met in the mall that day." ”

Yan Yu thought about it for a while, and then vaguely remembered that one night, Xiaoxing seemed to mention a little brother to her before going to bed, so was the person Xiaoxing mentioned that night Lu Shumu?

Lu Shumu stood quietly, his dark eyes faintly skipped the hands of the little star and the words crossed, and he pursed his lower lip: "I can give you this painting." ”

"Really?" said Little Star smiled with some delight.

The docent also came over and said with a smile: "This is the author of this painting." ”

Yan Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the fingers hanging by her side curled up slightly, and she remembered the gloom in that painting, which children could not feel.

It was actually from such a small boy in front of him.

Lu Shumu raised his eyes and met Yan Yu's gaze, and he replied very carelessly: "Do you want this painting?"

Yan Yu was stunned and pursed his lips: "Do you want to give it to me? However, it is my daughter who wants it." She touched Little Star's head.

Xiaoxing shyly hugged Yanyu's legs, her eyelashes fluttered, and she looked at Lu Shumu: "Brother, this is what you painted, you are so good, you are so good, I like you so much, you are amazing!"

Lu Shumu's face was expressionless.

He said, "When the exhibition is over, I'll give it to you." ”

There is always an illusion in words, and Lu Shumu's words are like saying to her.

Little Star was a little overjoyed, she clapped her hands gently, with some restraint, her eyes shining, and she said, "Thank you! I like your paintings so much!"

Yan Yu curled his lips and rubbed Little Star's head.

Lu Shumu saw it, and walked a little closer to Yan Yu, he stood in front of Yan Yu, looking up at Yan Yu, it looked like he wanted to be touched by Yan Yu's head.

Yan Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the landing sparse wood for a long time.

She bent her eyebrows, stretched out her hand, and just wanted to land on Lu Shumu's head, but suddenly someone called Lu Shumu's name.

It was a woman's voice, the voice was soft, with a little gentleness, and there was a heroic spirit in the gentleness: "Shumu, where are you?"

The hand of the words suddenly paused on Lu Shumu's head, hanging in the air, and did not fall after all.

Lu Shumu lowered his eyelashes, and a trace of gloom flashed on his delicate face.

He turned around, his dark eyes dark, looked at the staircase on the second floor, and replied softly, "I'm here." ”

There appeared an elegant woman, with black hair coiled behind her head, with slight fragments of hair hanging down the side of her face, wearing a white sweater, a black pencil skirt, and straight legs set off by a pair of ankle-length boots.

She walked over, her whole body exuding grace, and a smile on her eyebrows, but she could also see a hint of worry.

She walked to Lu Shumu's side, took Lu Shumu's hand, and was a little anxious: "Shumu, why did you run here." ”

She squatted down and looked at Lu Shumu at eye level: "Next time, you are not allowed to leave your mother without permission, do you know?"

Yan Yu's eyes paused slightly, and the tip of his heart shrank slightly.

She pursed her red lips, took Little Star's hand, and slowly closed it down a little.

Shi Jiaran said anxiously to Lu Shumu for a moment, then turned around, when she saw the words, she was still a little embarrassed, she bent the corners of her lips, her eyes were clear, and her expression was hearty: "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry when he ran around just now, ...... are you?"

The words came back to her senses, and her chest heaved and calmed.

"My daughter and I were admiring the paintings of Shumu. ”

Shi Jiaran's smile deepened, her smile was friendly and infectious: "Shumu is indeed very talented in painting, he is very smart, and he has a feeling in many fields." ”

The pride in her tone was palpable.

Yan Yu thought, if she had an excellent son like Lu Shumu, she would be so proud, she felt that she couldn't talk anymore, if she didn't guess wrong, the woman in front of her was Lu Yan's fiancée and Lu Shumu's mother.

Lu Shumu's mother.

These words made her heart muscle infarct.

Yan Yu curled his lips: "I'm sorry, my daughter and I have other things, let's go first for the time being." ”

Shi Jiaran nodded.

Yan Yu took the little star to the next exhibition area, and along the way, the little star kept turning around, squeezing her eyes and smiling at Lu Shumu, her eyes were like a small crescent, full of all the silver light.

Lu Shumu's tense face seemed to have loosened slightly, and his contours softened a little.

Shi Jiaran glanced at Lu Shumu and asked curiously, "Shumu, do you know these two people?"

Lu Shumu: "I don't know." He paused, "But, I'm going to give her my starry sky." He gestured to the painting hanging on the exhibition wall.

Shi Jiaran was stunned.

*

Xiaoxing waited until she couldn't see Lu Shumu anymore, she turned around and walked seriously, she chirped and said, "Mom, do you know? That little brother is so amazing, he also said that he wanted to give me a painting!"

Yan Yu smiled: "What about you, the little brother is younger than you, and they are so powerful, so do you have to be lazy every day when you learn to dance?"

Little Star laughed: "You have to be lazy." ”

She shook her hand, "The little brother's mother also looks good." ”

The smile at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows was a little lighter, and she curled the corners of her lips, and her smile was faintly stiff.

Xiaoxing added: "However, it is still my mother and Xiaoxing who are the best-looking, and my mother's good-looking is not comparable to anyone." ”

Yan Yu pinched the tip of Xiaoxing's nose: "The little mouth is so sweet." ”

After watching the exhibition, the teacher also took the students to sketch in a park on the outskirts of London, where they went to the riverside.

Little Star has no talent for painting, his friends are all in front of the realistic picture, and the words are only distracted for a while, Little Star's canvas is already full of abstract graffiti, black lines, and Little Star's eyes are so happy that they are squinted into a slit.

"Mom, look at the stars. ”

Yan Yu curled her lips: "Yes, Starry Sky ......" She wanted to praise, but before she could boast, she laughed herself.

The little star couldn't draw anymore, she took a few steps forward, stepped on the bank of the small river, and Yan Yu also followed a few steps, looking at the river up close, extremely clear, with sparkling refraction.

Little Star said, "Mom, I'm going to take a picture of you!"

Xiaoxing took Yanyu's mobile phone and told Yanyu to stand by the river.

The teacher suddenly saw the words, her eyebrows twisted, she became worried, and shouted: "Oh my God, little star's mother, don't stand over there, danger!"

Yan Yu subconsciously looked over there, because she was stunned, she accidentally took a step back, and her feet suddenly loosened a little, she shook, and her body fell back uncontrollably.

Little Star was frightened: "Mom." ”

Yan Yu pursed her lips, her pupils dilated slightly, and she tried her best to control her body.

There was a fierce wind beside her, and suddenly there was a hand on her waist, and she jerked forward, and threw herself into the body of the owner of the hand.

The distance between the two was close enough, and she could see the man's facial features clearly at once, and the iconic black eyes seemed to be splashed with ink, and they seemed to be thick fog, and the depths were bleak.

Lu Yan's dark eyes were cold and warm.

He pursed his cold lips, and as soon as he stood firm, he immediately let go of her.

Yan Yu didn't expect that Lu Yan would be here, and before she could stand firm, Xiaoxing pounced: "Mom, ......" Yan Yu hugged her.

Lu Yan didn't come alone, but in an instant, a group of people who had just accompanied him all came over, including men in suits and leather shoes, the woman he had just met in the exhibition, and Lu Shumu.

The men laughed: "Yan is really a gentleman, worthy of being the head of the Cheng family, he saw that someone here was about to fall into the water, and he couldn't take care of anything, so he immediately ran over." ”

The person who followed behind was Lu Yan's new housekeeper, who was still very young, and he caught a glimpse of Lu Yan rubbing his fingers, and thought that Lu Yan had just touched that strange woman, and Lu Yan's fiancée and son were all at the scene.

The new housekeeper pursed his lower lip, handed out a handkerchief, and gave it to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan didn't bother to explain, he wiped it casually, his black eyes stared at the little star for a moment, his bones were faintly pale with force, and his thin lips were pursed by sharp blades.

But he didn't know how humiliating his gesture of wiping his hands was.

Yan Yu retracted his gaze, didn't hold back, and scolded a few words in his heart, Lu Yan is really sick, he has known him for so many years, and he kissed her not long ago, but now he is pretending to be clean?
