Tan Man nodded, suddenly remembered Xiaoqing's case, and said: "By the way, I heard Xiaoqing's father say that the case has begun to go through the normal procedure, and you have always been very concerned, thank you so much." ”

"Don't say that, this is my job, besides, Gu Mochen has been chasing me for three days, how dare I slack off."

Tan Man was stunned for a moment, she heard Li Zhu say last week that the legal aid had been accepted, and she was still glad that things could go so smoothly, but she didn't expect that Gu Mochen had made a lot of efforts behind her back.

"Hehe, thank you anyway." Tan Man chuckled, looked at the wife behind him from time to time, and immediately said, "Lawyer Chen, go back quickly, don't let your friend wait for a long time, see you back." ”

The other person nodded goodbye.

Jossen had already seen her greet her friend, and when he saw her come back, he handed her a piece of chocolate: "Do you want to eat it?!" ”

After hesitating, he nodded and took it.

"Friends?" He asked.

Tan Man glanced at Chen Rui's group in the distance and explained, "Well, there is a girl at the school who was molested, and her parents hired a lawyer. ”

Qiao Sen nodded: "You have known a lot of lawyers recently!" ”

She glanced at him, and while unpacking the chocolate, she sighed and admitted, "Well, he is indeed a friend of Lawyer Gu." ”

Qiao Sen saw that she tore it hard several times, but she couldn't tear the package, so she took it casually, pulled it gently, and tore a hole and returned it to her, looking at her with a doting smile in her eyes: "I don't mean anything else." ”

"Did you drink the soy milk that your mother cooked?"

Qiao Sen didn't quite understand her words: "Drink, how do you know that my mother has cooked soy milk?" ”

Manman pursed his lips and smiled: "Why don't you get hit!" ”

Qiao Sen was stunned, no wonder he didn't see Qiao Ning come back for a long time.

……

Gu Mochen ran back in the morning, just took a shower, and before he had time to get dressed, he heard a series of WeChat message prompts on the bedside table bombarding wildly, and he took a bath towel around his lower body and walked out of the bathroom.

He was wiping his wet hair with a towel in one hand, bending down to pick up his phone with the other, and just swiped the screen to see the content, his hand wiping his hair paused in the air.

On the screen, Tan Man was smiling and talking to a man, even if the shooting distance was a little far, and the person was a little blurry after being magnified, he recognized it at a glance, that man was the doctor who had dinner with her in the four seasons that day, it seemed to be called, Qiao Sen.

A few sheets were dialed back, and there were men who diligently unpacked the food for her, two people who sat intimately on the stone bench and smiled at each other, and the man next to her who lowered her head and looked at her intently......

Gu Mochen stood in place and paused for a few seconds, then subconsciously pressed Chen Rui's phone and dialed out.

"Where are you?"

As soon as Chen Rui heard Gu Mochen's calm and abnormal tone, he made a successful gesture to the people around him: "I'm in Shanghai." ”

"Why are you sending me those pictures?"

"No, I just want to ask you, did I recognize the wrong person, it should be the Miss Tan you know, right?!" Chen Rui couldn't help but smile.

"It seems that Lawyer Chen has spare strength, why don't I take on a few more cases for you?!"

"Hey, it's not me talking about you, you're also a man in your thirties, don't only know work all day long, a man who understands sex is more attractive than a man who only knows how to make money, learn from others, peel a chocolate from time to time, hand a water, send flowers or something."

When Gu Mochen heard his words, the picture in the photo just now came to mind, and for the first time, he saw Tan Man with his hair tied on the top of his head, refreshing and beautiful, like a budding flower bone, but this scenery was being exposed to others' sight at the moment.

"Nothing else, I'll hang up."

"Hey, we're in Sheshan, do you want to eat together at noon, my wife, and a few of my colleagues, you all know each other."

Gu Mochen laughed sullenly and refused: "Forget it, I'm boring, I only know how to work, so don't go to ruin your fun." ”

"You really don't listen to the old man!"

"Have fun, hang up."

Hanging up the phone, Gu Mochen threw the phone on the bed, continued to wipe his hair casually, wiped it a few times, and threw the towel aside irritably, and walked out.

……

After going down the mountain, the car drove towards a community, and Tan Man immediately became suspicious.

"Didn't you say to eat hot pot?"

"Yes, go to our house to eat hot pot, my mother heard that a friend is coming, so she went to buy hot pot ingredients early in the morning." Qiao Ning's eyebrows and eyes bent into a moon, and Tan Man, who looked at the middle plan, smiled, "It's all here, you don't have to be awkward." ”

"Tell me, I'm not prepared for anything, it's not good to be empty-handed."

"You don't need anything, as long as someone comes, it's better than any gift, my mother has been looking forward to her daughter-in-law for a long time." Qiao Ning winked at Qiao Sen who was driving the car, "That's right, brother!" ”

"What are you talking about?" Tan Man patted Qiao Ning's thigh, turned his head awkwardly, and put aside Qiao Sen's gaze from the rearview mirror, "Otherwise, let's do it next time, I'll have a treat at noon today, and you can choose what you want to eat." ”

"What are you running away from, a weak heart means that there are ghosts, if you don't have anything, just come to our house as a friend."

After the car was stable in the underground parking lot, Qiao Ning pulled the vine and was about to go to the elevator room, but was stopped by Qiao Sen.

"Qiao Ning, you go to the supermarket at the door and buy a fruit basket." Qiao Ning was stunned for a moment, and understood that her brother was afraid that Tan Man would think that he was rude, even if they blindly emphasized that they didn't need anything, Tan Man still didn't look natural.

"The vine will come with me."

"You go by yourself, I have something to say to Manman, and we'll wait for you in the foyer in a moment." Qiao Sen said very firmly, and Qiao Ning could only leave first.

Tan Man was a little stunned, she didn't know what Qiao Sen was going to say to herself.

Watching Qiao Ning walk away, Qiao Sen turned his head, was silent for a few seconds, and slowly spoke.

"I'm sorry I brought you here without your prior consent."

She heard the helplessness in his tone, there must be a reason, otherwise, Qiao Sen, who has always understood measure, would not be so rash.

Tan Man tugged at the corners of his mouth and said with a wry smile: "It's okay, it's just a guest's house, and besides, didn't you ask Qiao Ning to buy me a fruit basket." ”

Qiao Sen's face did not change, staring straight at her, this look made her have nowhere to escape, and what Qiao Sen was going to say next was probably something that made her rack her brains and not know how to respond.

"I like your business, Qiao Ning told my mother a long time ago." Qiao Sen said calmly, but the slight nerves on his face still exposed his nervousness, "Go up for a while, my mother may not just treat you as our friend, she yelled at me many times, asking me to take you home for dinner, before, I have been looking for reasons to perfunctory her, but recently, I can't convince myself anymore, I can't stand still, because, I'm afraid that if you continue to connive at you to escape, you will really escape." ”

I don't know why, since I met Gu Mochen, and then faced Qiao Sen alone, Gu Mochen's angular face would appear in my mind inexplicably, as if she was monitoring herself, perhaps, this was actually her own heart, sent to supervise herself.

"Qiao Sen, in the face of feelings, I can't deceive myself, I didn't run away, I just think, I can't give you what you want, you should like someone better than me, but you stubbornly refuse to leave, then only I stay away from you."

"A while ago, weren't you almost tempted, didn't you say that you should consider it, you should at least give each other a chance, try to have a relationship with me, and it's not too late to make a judgment."

She knows very well that the begging relationship will always make the paying party tremble, love is originally a consensual rivalry, without the strength of either party, it will be a table with missing feet, crumbling, until it collapses.

"Oh, Mom, come, I'll help you carry it!" At this time, Qiao Ning's voice came from outside the hall, and in the next second, a middle-aged woman pushed the door in, and Qiao Ning, who was following her, twisted her face and glanced at the two of them.

"Mom?!" Jossen frowned.

Tan Man froze in place, not knowing what to do for a while, so he could only say hello stubbornly: "Hello, Auntie!" ”

Qiao's mother was overjoyed, looked her up and down for a few seconds, and then greeted her enthusiastically: "You are a vine, right?!" It's even better than Qiao Ning said, she looks like a sensible girl, why don't you go up, why are you standing here stupidly?! ”

Tan Man was a little embarrassed, Qiao Ning came out from behind and took her hand: "Let's go!" ”

The conversation with Jossen ended in nothing, and during the meal, both of them were absent-minded, but they still had to pretend to be peaceful.

"Manman, I heard Qiao Ning say that you are from Suzhou."

It was Qiao's father who spoke, and the parents of the Qiao family were much kinder than expected, without the slightest arrogance.

Tan Man once heard Qiao Ning say that their family is a medical family, Qiao's father is a cardiovascular and cerebrovascular expert, but he has been retired for a few years, and her mother is an obstetrics and gynecology midwife, and she retired about the same time as her father.

"Yes!"

"Since ancient times, there have been beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, and they really look beautiful."

Tan Man smiled shyly.

"Suzhou is good, it's not far from Shanghai, you can go home often." Mama Joe said.

"Yes, my dad is the only one at home, and I do go back often."

The two people sitting on it looked at each other for a moment, and Qiao's mother said again: "In the future, you will often come to eat with us, your girl's family is in Shanghai, and it is rare to eat a live-in meal on weekdays." ”

She responded generously, "Thank you, Auntie." ”

Qiao Sen looked at Tan Man sitting opposite, generous and decent, well-behaved and moving, the desire to have her became stronger and stronger, but now she even deliberately avoided her eyes.

After eating, Tan Man secretly glanced at Qiao Ning when everyone was not paying attention, Qiao Ning was naturally bright, and said to everyone: "You drink tea first, and I will take Manman to visit my room." ”
