When Lin Zhiyi saw Ding Yi's father for the first time, he had a sense of déjà vu. It was more than 20 years of getting along with Mr. Lin day and night, and the cognitive sense of the upper class elite hidden in the subconscious.

"Lin Zhiyi, right? Sure enough, it's a young talent. Sit down. ”

This is a townhouse located in Beijing's Third Ring Road, with a traditional Chinese interior and a smaller size than the Lin family's villa in Zhucheng, but with a conservative estimate of its value, it should be three to five times as much. This is the first time that Lin Zhiyi has a sense of restraint in someone else's house, even if Ding Huairen very politely invited him to take a seat.

"Hello, uncle." Lin Zhiyi straightened his upper body and sat only half the width of the sofa.

"One by one, I often mention you in front of us, and this summer internship is also thanks to your father's care." Ding Huairen made tea for Lin Zhiyi, the tender green tea leaves slowly unfolded under the nourishment of hot water, and Ding Huairen's accent was the same as Ding Yi's, with a strong Beijing flavor.

"It should. When I first came to Beijing, I was also taken care of by Ding Yi a lot at school. ”

"Hahaha, now that you're all so familiar. If you want me to say, otherwise you can find a date to make a marriage event. ”

The tea that had not yet been swallowed by Lin Zhiyi squirted out of the air in an instant. How can Ding Yi's father be more direct than Ding Yi.

"Uncle, we're just ordinary friends now. Haven't ...... yet."

Ding Huairen interrupted Lin Zhiyi's words and said, "It's not a matter of time before it happens. We have such an excellent girl in our family, and a boy like you can still be worthy. ”

This sentence sounds fine at first glance, but Lin Zhi also deduced the logic according to different ideas, and there was always a feeling of being inferior.

Ding Huairen was a little dissatisfied when he saw Lin Zhiyi's prevarication. How many people have hollowed out their minds and want to have a relationship with the Ding family, including many high-ranking cadres in the capital, but his daughter doesn't like it, and he can't look down on it. This kid is good, his daughter chased after him, and he pulled down his face to kiss, but he pushed back.

"Uncle. I know it might upset you to say that, but I don't want to lie to you and Ding Yi either. I'll try to get in touch with her, but if I were asked to make a promise that I'd get married now, I really can't do it right now. Lin Zhi also said sincerely.

Ding Yi brought out snacks from the kitchen and happened to hear this. She shook her head helplessly, thinking to herself, "Don't I just like his uprightness?" ”

Ding Huairen wanted to continue the pressure, but was interrupted by Ding Yi.

"Dad, how can there be someone like you. It's not the old society now, how can you force someone to marry your daughter. ”

Ding took a handful of freshly made osmanthus cakes from the kitchen and stuffed them into his father's mouth.

In the face of his daughter's coquettishness, Ding Huairen had no choice but to tie his hands and arrest him.

After sending Lin Zhiyi away, Ding Huairen solemnly asked Ding Yi, "Yiyi, you have brought people home, why can't you talk about marriage?" Have you ever brought home a boyfriend you've had before? ”

"Lin Zhiyi is different from them! I'm just going to bring it back to you and show you what you think your daughter's eyes are! ”

"The people are nice. I just don't know how to talk! ”

"I've seen a lot of people who talk well, all of them are honey-bellied swords, and they are the goods that make the rudder by the wind. Although Lin Zhiyi's speech is ugly, his heart is the best I have ever seen. He would have been a good husband. ”

"Tut-tut. Just now, I disliked the forced marriage of my old social patriarch, and now as soon as I leave, I have a husband. Phew! Ding Huairen turned his back, his own daughter, with tears in his eyes, he also wanted to be petted.

"Dad. But people have said that they don't want to now. Ding Yi pouted and said, "I'm in too much of a hurry, and I won't even have to be a friend when the time comes." ”

As it turned out, Ding Yi's scruples were right. After returning from Ding's house, Lin Zhiyi avoided Ding Yi intentionally or unintentionally at school. Even the food sent by Ding Yi was given to his roommate.

He didn't hate this generous and enthusiastic girl. But in my heart, I was still blocked by another person, and there was really no gap, and then I stuffed it into others.

In autumn, when Beijing's smog was very noisy, Lin Zhiyi wore a thick mask, headphones hanging on his head, and looked fully armed, but he was still caught in the crowd by Ding Yiyi at a glance.

"Lin Zhiyi, why are you always avoiding me?" Ding Yi crossed his hands on his hips and blocked his way. "Is my dad scared you, he's like that, he always likes to joke, don't take it to heart."

"Nope." Lin Zhiyi took off his mask and said calmly.

He had seen Ding's angry appearance, not like this. Lin Zhiyi was also blaming himself in his heart, why he didn't directly refuse Ding Yi's confession on the rooftop of the Bohai office building in Shanghai at that time, if necessary, he could say something ugly to make this girl completely dead.

Just like what he did to Qian Wenwen before.

may be thinking of Qian Wenwen's transformation after that, he can't bear to hurt the hearts of other girls anymore.

"Look at you, you still have rice grains on your lips. It's still a child! ”

Lin Zhiyi wiped the rice grains from the corner of Ding Yi's mouth with a tissue, in order to block Lin Zhiyi on the way to school in the morning, she hurriedly drank a bowl of porridge from home and came over, and she didn't even have time to dress up.

In Ding Yi's memory, Lin Zhi was also the third person to wipe the rice from the corners of her mouth, and the previous two were her parents. Some of the so-called friends she had made before would only watch her look foreign and laugh at her like a fool.

"Why? You don't like me, why are you being so nice to me! After saying that, Ding Yi ran away crying. There was no one to tell about the depression in her heart, and she suddenly thought of Qian Wenwen, who she met by chance at the airport before. They had already added WeChat at that time, and Ding wrote down the distress in his heart, and after hesitating for a while, he pressed the send button.

"Qian Wenwen is a big star now? Will you ignore me? ”

Qian Wenwen almost returned in seconds.

Ding Yi opened the WeChat dialog box, and there was only a simple sentence, "He still has her in his heart." When Qian Wenwen said her, she was naturally referring to Yuan Shanshan.

"So what should I do?"

"Perhaps, he will die after seeing these pictures."

Qian Wenwen sent more than a dozen photos in a row, "These are all photos taken by the paparazzi and sold to our company." Originally, the company decided to use these photos to discredit Yuan Shanshan, but I suppressed it. After all, everyone used to be classmates, and I didn't want to embarrass her too much. ”

In the photo sent by Qian Wenwen, Yuan Shanshan and a blonde man are in and out of a pair at the door of an apartment, looking like a couple. This blonde man, Ding Yi has seen, is the one who accompanied Yuan Shanshan to participate in the singing talent competition.

She also heard Lin Zhiyi say that the relationship between the two of them is "very good friends." ”

Ding Yi was in a dilemma with these photos, she wanted Lin Zhiyi to give up Yuan Shanshan, but she didn't want him to feel heartache. These photos will definitely pierce Lin Zhiyi's heart like a sharp dagger.

A plane from Beijing landed at a small airport in Zhucheng.

Ding Huairen took out Lin Xuedong's business card given to him by his former friend and found it according to the address.

is also a person in the legal circle, he has naturally heard of Lin Xuedong's reputation, but he has not been in contact with the real person. But Lin Xuedong was born in Zhucheng and opened his law firm in Shanghai, such a powerful person, Ding Huairen felt that he should really come to meet.

Although the main purpose of this trip is for his wayward baby daughter.

Zhucheng International Building, 36th floor, Bohai Law Firm.

Ding Huairen came to the door of Lin Xuedong's office under the recommendation of the front desk lady. A young female lawyer happened to come out of his office in a hurry, and Ding Huairen noticed that her Chinese name was Zhao Lilin and her English name was Lisa.

Ding Yi talked about this person when he talked to him about his internship experience.

"You can pick up the girder at a young age, Bohai is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!" Ding Huairen did not hesitate to praise Lin Xuedong in front of him.

"Hahaha. Lawyer Ding is the leader in the industry in Beijing! I don't know, what are you doing when you come to our Pearl City this time? ”

Lin Xuedong's career development in Beijing is not smooth, and there are not many lawyers who are willing to partner with him, one is the competition of foreign law firms in big cities, and there are also well-known local law firms, excellent lawyers will find a good platform for themselves. Ding Huairen's background in Beijing is enough to support a firm that can compete with foreign capital.

If we can get cooperation with Ding Huairen, Bohai's development in Beijing will not be smooth.

"I'm really embarrassed to say this. I have a daughter who is now studying at the China University of Political Science and Law, and your son, Lin Zhiyi, is an alumnus! ”

"Oooh. I know I met her in Shanghai this summer. I am very impressed with her, she is really a very cute girl! Lin Xuedong praised it vigorously, and he also guessed a little bit about Ding Huairen's intention today. And our family, it's still a very good friend! ”

"yes, yes! I've seen your son, he's really a young talent. If Lawyer Lin agrees, let the two children get engaged first. ”

"Huh?" Lin Xuedong didn't expect Ding Huairen to be so direct, completely ignoring his identity and status. Now, he was a little overwhelmed.

"Say it. What do you think? ”

"Naturally, there's nothing wrong with me. However, the major event of marriage mainly depends on the child's own will. ”

"Then let me ask you, does your son have a girlfriend now?"

"As far as I know, no."

"Then why did he get so close to our family one by one? Between men and women, there is no pure friendship. Now they are too young to understand. You'll find out later. Besides, both of us have a deep relationship with the legal profession, so why not join forces and take it to the next level? ”

"yes!" Lin Xuedong smiled and nodded. "It would be great if I could marry Yiyi."
