Everyone at the table was basically discussing the recent news in the legal field, such as the changes in the law, the promulgation of the new code, the instructions of the Supreme People's Court, and more discussions were about the recent high-profile cases, such as the Xie Shen case and the Jiang Hanting case.

Someone asked Huo Ran: "Xie Shen was released like this?" ”

Huo Ran rolled his throat: "Well, wait for the result of the court." ”

"How's that cop's case?"

"Waiting for the notice of the trial."

Everyone asked casually, they were all lawyers, and they naturally knew the lawyer's confidentiality rules, and no one wanted to break the casserole to ask the end.

Halfway through the annual meeting, the program on the stage was about to end, and when the process came to Xi Lao's speech, Huo Ran accompanied Xi Lao to the edge of the stage, and then Miss Etiquette helped Xi Lao up.

Xi Lao stood firmly, and the audience burst into warm applause.

Xi Lao summarized the past year with a smile, looked forward to the coming year, and also expressed his expectations for the future of the rule of law, and then the award ceremony, what is the most popular lawyer award, what is the first-class business award, and what is the model worker award, Lu Yuzhou took the stage to receive the award several times, and the most won the most popular award.

He stood on the stage, the smile on the corner of his eyebrows was pervasive, his peach blossom eyes were slightly raised, he bowed slightly gentlemanly, and he held several trophies in his slender hands.

"Lawyer Lu, let's have a flying kiss."

"Lawyer Lu, look here! I'm going to be corona. ”

Only Su Yu and Huo Ran saw through Lu Yuzhou's misery, most of these most popular awards were chosen by customers, and most of the rich women he received were rich women who wanted to divorce, and those rich women were very satisfied with him, and they would vote for him every year, and they would tell Lu Yuzhou with great fanfare after the vote, and they also took various opportunities to call his work-specific mobile phone number to ask him out.

Su Yu heard that Lu Yuzhou was already a celebrity in the circle of rich women, and they also gave him a resounding nickname - "little wolf dog", which represents youth, strength and energy.

The second half is an interactive part of the game, with raffles, toasts and dancing.

Qi Ruo came to toast at this time, she was wearing a red velvet dress, her delicate and fair skin exuded a luster under the light, and the makeup on her face was also retro makeup, with flaming red lips, with the atmosphere of fashion and urban strong woman.

She walked to Huo Ran's position and toasted to Xi Lao, her voice was gentle: "Xi Lao, I would like to toast you on behalf of the Lu Group." ”

Xi Lao took Huo Ran all the way, so he naturally knew about Qi Ruo's existence, not to mention that Qi Ruo came today on behalf of the Lu Group, one of the largest partners of the law firm.

Qi Ruo is very polite and exquisite, she didn't leave any of the people here, she didn't offend any of them, and finally she was Jing Suyu.

Su Yu stood up, holding the red wine glass in his hand, and touched it lightly with Qi Ruo.

Both women smiled lightly.

Qi Ruo smiled and said, "You are Ah Ran's paralegal, Ah Ran works very hard, and you have worked hard during this time." ”

Su Yu didn't like her tone, first, Qi Ruo pretended not to know her, and second, Qi Ruo's tone was as if Huo Ran was her person.

However, Su Yu pursed her lips and didn't say anything, gently clinked glasses with her, and took a shallow sip of red wine.

Xi Lao asked, "Xiao Qi, how is your work lately?" ”

Qi Ruo smiled: "It's going well, thank you for your concern." ”

I don't know if it's because Qi Ruo often comes to the law firm to find Huo Ran, or because Qi Ruo's company cooperates with law firms a lot, and many lawyers here know Qi Ruo.

"Miss Qi, long time no see."

"Miss Qi, you've been getting more and more elegant and good-looking lately."

Qi Ruo smiled slightly, and the shallow smile in his eyebrows overflowed: "Thank you." ”

"I haven't seen you for a long time, next time we have a chance to make another appointment, I'll ask Lawyer Huo to invite you personally."

Qi Ruo narrowed his eyes slightly, his smiling eyes were a little dark, and he glanced at Huo Ran with a sparkling light, so that outsiders could see it, and they only felt that the relationship between them was delicate and ambiguous.

It's easy to get drunk on the wine table.

"It's still Lawyer Huo's good fortune, having such a capable and virtuous childhood sweetheart as Xiao Qi, last time I heard that Lawyer Huo's grandmother was taken care of by Xiao Qi."

"Xiao Qi is a good girl, there are not many girls who are willing to help take care of the elderly these days."

These people seemed to have forgotten that they were talking about Huo Ran and Su Yu just now.

Su Yu's eyes blinked a few times, her eyebrows were beating, and she was a little absent-minded, and then listening to everyone's words, she drank the wine all at once, and before she knew it, the half bottle of red wine was almost drunk by her.

But she knew that she was not qualified to say anything, for so many years, it was indeed Qi Ruo who had been by Grandma Huo's side, and Grandma Huo really didn't like herself.

Huo Ran raised his eyelids, his eyes were dark, noncommittal, such a question was already a little difficult to respond to, if he denied it directly, it would be too faceless for Qi Ruo, no matter what, Qi Ruo represented the partner of the law firm tonight, and she was a girl who grew up with him since childhood.

But if you don't explain......

Huo Ran had already felt the action of Su Yu wanting to break free from his hands, his thin lips smiled slightly, but he sighed in his heart, he grabbed her moving hand and fixed it on his leg.

Huo Ran smiled politely and said, "Ah Ruo is indeed a good girl, and my grandmother also treats her as her own granddaughter......" Before he finished speaking, he felt a head suddenly leaning on his shoulder, and rubbed lightly on his shoulder.

Huo Ran lowered his head and turned his face sideways, and the eyes were her eyelashes that fanned like butterfly wings, the tip of her small and slightly upturned nose, the light was bright, and her skin was transparent.

Her voice was light and soft: "I also regard Qi Ruo as my own sister, and your sister is my sister." ”

This simple sentence is enough to declare her status, Qi Ruo is a month older than Huo Ran, and she directly said that Huo Ran regards Qi Ruo as her sister.

Huo Ranwan'er, his eyebrows moved slightly, and his smile was a little helpless, he and Qi Ruo had nothing in the first place, at least nothing had happened until now, if Su Yu didn't show up, maybe one day in the future, he might also choose to marry Qi Ruo.

He wanted to explain it clearly in front of Su Yu just now, but Su Yu's reaction was something he didn't expect.

Qi Ruo stood in place in embarrassment, pursed her lips, the lines of her body were a little stiff, her heart hung from a high place, and then fell to the ground fiercely, becoming a slush.

She shook her hand in her grip and nearly let it fall.

She clenched her fingers, her nails pale from the exertion.

Her eyes froze in a daze, staring at Huo Ran and Su Yu in his arms, she saw the gentleness of Huo Ran when he lowered his head, and his body exuded complete softness.

Only facing Su Yu.

Qi Ruo's heart shrank.

She subconsciously straightened her back, with a light smile on her face, she felt that she was outside the noise, this group of people didn't seem to feel embarrassed, nor did they feel embarrassed, and no one said that Su Yu had already been engaged, and they didn't even take what had just happened seriously.

It is also possible and okay for her Qi Ruo to only be Huo Ran's sister, Qi Ruo's black eyes flashed complex and unspeakable emotions, including inferiority, resentment, unwillingness, disgust, and sadness.

Whoever made her Qi Ruo just a poor girl in the countryside.

And she, Su Yu, is the daughter of Henglong Group.

*

Qi Ruo came for work, so someone soon looked for her, she pinched her palm, showed a perfect smile, and her eyes sparkled: "Everyone, unaccompanied." ”

Soon after she left, Su Yu drank too much wine and wanted to go to the bathroom.

Huo Ran was discussing things with Xi Lao and them.

Su Yu took his handbag and shawl, stood up, and walked through the crowd of people who were staggered and swayed by the lights.

The bathroom is at the end of the hallway, the carpet is soft, and the floor is silent and dense.

After Su Yu went to the toilet, turned on the faucet, and delicately cleaned his fingers, he heard the sound of high heels falling to the ground behind him, crisp and powerful.

She lifted her eyelids slightly, and saw Qi Ruo, leaning against the door frame.

Qi Ruo leaned lazily, she was holding a burgundy velvet wine bag in her hand, the red skirt outlined her graceful figure, and she looked at Su Yu lightly.

Su Yu pursed his lips and put his hand under the dryer, and for a while, there was only the roar of the dryer.

Qi Ruo spoke at this time, her voice was drowned in the roar, Su Yu couldn't hear what she said clearly, as if she was blown apart by the wind.

Su Yu waited for the water in his hands to dry before slowly turning his eyes and looking at Qi Ruo.

Qi Ruo smiled, probably repeating what she had just said: "Su Yu, are you with Ah Ran again?" How often do you plan to break up with him this time? Another three years? Or do you want to dump him before you get married? ”

There was a lot of irony in her tone.

Su Yu's movements on her hand paused slightly, she pursed her lips, and her voice was very soft: "This is my matter with Huo Ran." ”

She wanted to go out, but Qi Ruo blocked the door.

Qi Ruo's eyebrows were flowing with nothing but style, just mockery.

"Su Yu, your life is too smooth, you don't eat the fireworks of the world, so you don't know how to understand the pain of others at all, you and Huo Ran are together, and it will always be Huo Ran who is discussed by others, he is obviously so good, but when he stands by your side, he will always be said - the toad wants to eat swan meat."

Su Yu's fingertips tightened slightly.

"What do you have besides being rich?" Qi Ruo continued, "Being rich doesn't give you the right to play with others, you and Huo Ran have been in love for three years, you promised him that they would go abroad together, but you abandoned him in a blink of an eye, and immediately got engaged to someone else, you are happy, but what about Huo Ran?" You don't want to know how he spent those years. ”

"You're not a good fit at all. Your father is against it, his grandmother is against it, do you want to betray the two families and be together again? Not to mention, you're still someone else's fiancée! Back then, your father almost let Huo Ran have no books to read, no job, and cut off his future, and now he is finally getting on the right track, but you are back, do you want to destroy him? ”

Su Yu didn't answer, she kept looking at Qi Ruo quietly, listening to Qi Ruo's words, she could feel the faint pain of her heart being compressed, and she could also feel the faint smell of wine coming from Qi Ruo's body.

What happened back then, she was really sorry for Huo Ran.

But she didn't feel sorry for Qi Ruo.

Huo Ran can say that Qi Ruo can't.

When Qi Ruo finished speaking, Su Yu bent her lips lightly, looked at Qi Ruo, and she replied seriously: "Qi Ruo, your logic is wrong." ”

Qi Ruo was slightly stunned.

Su Yu's black and soft hair was scattered over her shoulders, and she whispered: "The matter between me and Huo Ran is that I am sorry for him, but in what capacity do you accuse me?" ”

Her tone was very light, calm, and serious.

"Huo Ran has been hurt, and himself, his relatives and his good friends are all qualified to hold grievances for him, so what about you, are you his relatives or friends? If you consider yourself his sister or a good friend of his, then I will first assume that you are qualified to stand for him. But, Qi Ruo, do you really think that you regard yourself as his sister or friend? ”

Qi Ruo's pupils twitched slightly, and she didn't answer.

Su Yu didn't need her answer, Su Yu said: "It's one thing to be qualified to hold grievances, but it's another thing to be qualified to hold grievances, but it's another thing to be eligible to hold grievances." ”

"The only thing I agree with in that passage is that Chen Yanze and I are engaged. But what happened to my engagement with Chen Yanze, Huo Ran knows better than you. Huo Ran and I will solve the matter by ourselves. ”

"And the premise of your accusation is also wrong, you say that I have nothing but money, but in fact, you should also know that I will not lose to you in terms of work, appearance or studies."

"As for you, you said that Huo Ran was called a toad by my side, it was because you didn't know enough and didn't trust Huo Ran enough, and his achievements will never stop there."

Su Yu began to refute, her expression was very light, and her tone was even lighter: "Qi Ruo, you are still the same as many years ago, do you think you are the most compatible with Huo Rancai?" Because you feel that you grew up with him, you have known each other for many years, your family background is comparable, you know each other well, you are in the same class, but believe it or not, once you and Huo Ran are together, you become the toad who wants to eat swan meat. ”

This sentence was like a knife that was extremely sharp and refracted with a cold edge, mercilessly piercing the piece of paper that Qi Ruo had always wanted to maintain.

Qi Ruo felt that she was a precarious person standing on the edge of the quagmire, and Su Yu pushed her down.

Countless black shadows shackled her legs under the mire, dragging her straight down into the endless abyss.

Her face was very pale, her fingers were clenched tightly, and she stared at Su Yu with a stiff expression, what was restraining her heart, and it hurt for a while, she couldn't believe that Su Yu said such hurtful words in such a calm tone.

Su Yu pursed his lips and said quietly: "This world is like this, a few years ago, you asked me to break up with Huo Ran, you stood on the moral high ground with a lofty appearance, accusing the vulgarity of money, but whether it was you a few years ago or a few years later, the desire for money is actually the same, the more nothing, the more you have to hide something." ”

"I didn't hate money when I was a child, and I am grateful that money has solved many problems in my life, and I don't hate desires, and I don't hate people who write their desires on their faces. Your current status and money are all earned by your ability, and there is nothing to criticize. ”

"But you're obviously hungry for money and status, but you deliberately and sanctimoniously accuse people who already have these two things, and you're too sour."

Su Yu's eyes faintly fell on the bag in Qi Ruo's hand, and there was only a slight glance.

Qi Ruo uncomfortably clenched the chain of the velvet bag.

She and Su Yu's bag is not of the same grade, Su Yu has a global limited edition platinum and diamond bag, a bag is equal to a suite, although many people complain that this bag is too noble and ugly, but it is hung between Su Yu's arms, but there is a different kind of charm.

Su Yu's black eyes looked at Qi Ruo quietly and seriously for the last time, didn't speak, and walked away.

Behind him, Qi Ruo's voice came, and there seemed to be something suppressed in her voice, a little cold: "Su Yu, you have no future, you can't fight your father, and Huo Ran can't win against his grandmother." ”

Su Yu's footsteps paused slightly, she didn't turn around, just turned her face, and then said very seriously: "What I just said is deliberately hurting you." But if Huo Ran has the slightest friendship between men and women for you, I won't say a word about those words just now. ”

However, Huo Ran has no love between men and women......

Su Yu lowered his eyes: "You said that I am smooth sailing and do not eat fireworks in the world, you think I live in a dream, but I am much more realistic than you, so realistic that I gave up Huo Ran a few years ago and chose to get engaged, and when Huo Ran became famous, I returned to him." ”

This sentence seems to be extremely mean, she gave up Huo Ran when she was at the lowest point, but when he climbed, she came back.

The most disgusting is falling into the well, and the most useless is the icing on the cake.

But Su Yu did it all.

Qi Ruo didn't speak, and Su Yu continued to walk.

The faint light of the gallery lamp poured down overhead, overlapping beams and fine dust undulating.

Su Yu steadied his breathing, turned the corner, and saw a tall figure, the figure of that person on the soft carpet, dragging a long shadow, deep and shallow.
