What's more, Chen Mu's appetite is not big, and Ji Ning doesn't have much appetite today, so he won't order too many things. Counting it, it turned into Chen Mu's treat.

Ji Ning felt that she couldn't go, and just wanted to say that she would also give this deposit, but Chen Mu spoke one step ahead of her: "The treat is that you invite me to eat, but it doesn't cover other expenses." If you dare to worry too much about my brother, then I won't eat it. ”

Saying that, Chen Mu was about to get angry. He didn't care about money when Ji Ning came first, because only in this way could he make himself appear closer to Ji Ning. If you even care about this amount of money, how unfamiliar it is.

He didn't want to even be blocked by the last thing related to Ji Ning, so he reminded Ji Ning out loud.

Ji Ning was stunned for a moment, and when she looked up, she didn't look like Chen Mu was joking. Holding back the words he was about to ask, he pretended to flip through the menu, and said briskly: "How come, senior brother, you have made so much money, and you should let you have a little blood." ”

"If I win Su Qin's case, I can treat you to a lifetime." Chen Mu said as if unintentionally. This tone is very indifferent, and I don't know if I am blaming Ji Ning for going against him, or hinting at Ji Ning that he can raise Ji Ning for a lifetime.

No matter which possibility it is, Ji Ning can't go back. She ordered a few sashimi, closed the menu and handed it to Chen Mu. Only then did he say slowly: "Senior brother, don't mention business when eating, this is the rule, you won't forget it." ”

Chen Mu was stunned and a little embarrassed by Ji Ning's words. After taking the menu, I didn't say anything, and I ordered a few of my favorite foods, so I called the waiter.

The waiter who came this time was not the same one just now, this one looked younger. Pushing open the door, he saw Ji Ning first, obviously stunned, and then turned his eyes to Chen Mu, and was stunned again. The corners of his twitching mouth were full of incredulity, and he let out an exclamation, and he forgot to take the menu.

"You...... You are ......" the little waiter's excited words could not be finished.

Ji Ning lifted her eyelids, glanced at the little waiter, and asked, "Do you know us?" Why are you so excited? How does she feel that this is the reaction when she sees her favorite star.

She subconsciously touched her face, could it be that the star had plastic surgery according to her appearance?

The little waiter took a long time to recover, and said excitedly: "You are the lawyer Ji Ning, and he is also the lawyer Chen Mu, right?" "I can actually call out their names correctly, and I was stunned by the change of seasons.

Ji Ning suddenly became vigilant in her heart, and looked up at the waiter: "How do you know us?" ”

The little waiter danced with his hands: "I have seen the press conference between you and President Ye, and during this time, the divorce case of model Su Qin has been in an uproar, and there are photos of your two lawyers on the Internet." I didn't expect to see you here, it's so unexpected. ”

As he spoke, the waiter looked down as if looking for something. Ji Ning closed her eyes speechlessly, how could she forget about it. She thought that only the gossip employees in the president's office would pay attention to these, but she didn't expect to meet such gossipy people when she came out to eat.

On the other side, the waiter finally found a pen and paper, and hurriedly handed it to Ji Ning: "Lawyer Ji, can you sign for me?" She wanted the signatures of the two people, and handed them to Ji Ning first, because she felt that women were easier to start.

But I didn't know that compared with Chen Mu, Ji Ning was not such a good talker.

Sure enough, Ji Ning mercilessly refused: "I'm sorry, I don't know you, and I'm not a star." My signature is very important, and I can't sign it for you. ”

As a senior lawyer, it is normal for Ji Ning to be vigilant in this regard. Because she has seen a lot of this, the signature is picked up by people who do bad things. Although you can't spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, if you can't do it, you can't do it.

The other party didn't expect Ji Ning to refuse so simply, and he was stunned on the spot, with a little incredulity in his eyes. After being stunned for a long time, he withdrew his hand in embarrassment and turned to Chen Mu.

Chen Mu also shook his head, his voice was a little more gentle than Ji Ning: "I'm sorry, I can't sign either." Maybe his tone was better, or maybe the girl was already mentally prepared, so this time there was not much disappointment.

There is still embarrassment, and the smile that is squeezed out is also very stiff: "I'm sorry to cause you trouble." He took the menu in a panic, and then left the box as if he were running away.

The box was quiet again, Chen Mu closed the door and glanced at Ji Ning's face: "In a bad mood?" "In the past, Ji Ning would not refuse others so coldly, not to mention that the other party was still a little girl.

Ji Ning rubbed her temples, and also felt that her actions just now were exaggerated. She could have politely refused, rather than with a strong attitude. She asked tentatively, "Was my appearance terrible just now?" ”

Chen Mu nodded silently.

Ji Ning had a look of chagrin on her face and said, "I'm really in a bad mood, so I didn't control my temper. She thought about whether to go out and apologize to this little girl, but was stopped by Chen Mu.

It is indeed the other party's abruptness, and there is nothing wrong with Ji Ning's approach. Only then did Ji Ning stay with peace of mind.

"What's the matter, I was wronged in the company, and I still bullied you in Shao Chen?" Chen Mu frowned, very concerned about her appearance.

Ji Ning thought about it, anyway, now that the two of them already know that they will continue to play against each other, with Chen Mu's means, they must have already found the handle in Tang Jiao's hand, and now it is not interesting for her to hide it, it is better to say it and be happy.

However, she didn't talk about the details, but complained with a wry smile: "I just think it's ironic." Feng Shui takes turns, and now it's me, I scolded you fiercely before, but in the end it's not the same as you? ”

Her voice was a little weak.

Chen Mu paused and knocked on the table: "Actually, Shao Chen asked you to take this case, right?" He knew the relationship between Ye Shaochen and Tang Jiao, and he also guessed the matter.

If Ye Shaochen hadn't spoken in person, according to Ji Ning's temperament, how could he have taken on this kind of case.

"Hmm." Ji Ning didn't hide it, and nodded seriously. looked at the blue and white porcelain on the table and said, "I don't want him to be embarrassed." ”

When Chen Mu heard this, he was anxious. The volume subconsciously increased by one degree: "Then he is willing to embarrass you?" If the truth of this case is really revealed, you will not just lose! ”

It's nothing if the winning streak is defeated, but if Tang Jiao's scandal is revealed, Ji Ning's reputation will also be affected. Now that the online violence is so serious, Ji Ning is likely to be ruined.

Such a serious matter, Ye Shaochen didn't even think about it, so he let Ji Ning pick it up, it was too much!

Ji Ning's eyes flickered for a moment, and then returned to calm, she said, "He doesn't know yet." ”

"Don't know what?" Chen Mu was confused, thinking that Ji Ning was still helping Ye Shaochen speak. couldn't help frowning: "You don't have to defend him." ”

"I don't have maintenance." Ji Ning interrupted Chen Mu's words without thinking about it. She said: "He doesn't know about Tang Jiao, and I don't want him to know for the time being." "As an outsider, I was so shocked after knowing what happened to Tang Jiao.

Ye Shaochen, as Tang Jiao's elder brother, how much impact it would have, so Ji Ning didn't want Ye Shaochen to know. She gave Chen Mu a look, hoping that he would keep the secret.

The man across from her looked embarrassed, and after a few moments, he slapped the table and nodded heavily.

At this time, there were waiters serving the dishes one after another, and the one who was going to sign just now was gone, and Ji Ning was still thinking of signing one for her as compensation.

The things didn't come on so quickly, and Ji Ning didn't wait anymore and began to eat. The taste is really good, and she has never liked to eat cooked food, but she thinks it is delicious.

Seeing that she ate so deliciously, Chen Mu didn't move her chopsticks. Sitting cross-legged opposite, he looked at Ji Ning without blinking, as if he wanted to carve her into his heart.

His eyes were too direct, and Rao is Ji Ning couldn't pretend not to see it. Ji Ning was very uncomfortable, and her eating action stopped.

"Senior brother?" She hesitated and shouted. Seeing Chen Mu's eyes like this, she was apprehensive in her heart, afraid that he would say something that would make her unable to take it. After a pause, she asked, "Why don't you eat?" ”

Although he asked knowingly, he had to ask hard.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Ji Ning became more and more uncomfortable. She didn't know why, it was clear that before Chen Mu went abroad, the way the two got along was still good.

Why is it that now that Chen Mu is back, the atmosphere between them is different? It made her feel like her scalp was tingling and she wanted to leave early.

I don't know if she has changed, or if Chen Mu has changed.

This suffocating atmosphere was finally broken by Chen Mu.

He didn't answer Ji Ning's question, but his eyes were firm, and he said to Ji Ning with his own thoughts: "Ah Ning, do you want to win this lawsuit?" ”

This time it was replaced by Ji Ning inexplicably: "I want to ...... I think so. But ...... "But they all know that it's impossible." She didn't plan to let Tang Jiao win.

"No, but." Chen Mu's eyes were resolute. Say, "Since you want to win, then I can lose to you, as long as you're happy." ”

When the words fell, Ji Ning thought that she had heard a joke, and looked at Chen Mu incredulously, thinking that she must have heard it wrong.

Let her win?

Winning or losing such an obvious lawsuit, he wants to release water, is he hungry and can't think about it?

had long expected Ji Ning to react like this, Chen Mu was not annoyed, and said word by word: "I'm not joking, I'm serious." I can let you win this lawsuit or let my client choose to settle privately. Anyway, as long as you ask, I can do it. ”

Ji Ning was almost laughed at angrily, and slapped the table slightly: "Senior brother, do you know what you are talking about?" ”
