Chapter 017: The stepmother appears on the scene

Early in the morning, Fang Ruoning hesitated again and again, but still sent Fang Yunxuan to Qisi Kindergarten.

As soon as she arrived at the law firm, Wei Yunche rubbed her hungover pain temples while beckoning her: "Ruoning, come to my office." ”

Fang Ruoning followed the trend, "It's just right, I also have something to look for you." ”

Entering the office, Wei Yunche sat down and looked at her, "What's the matter?" ”

"Senior brother, I want to change a kindergarten for Xuanxuan, can you find the leader to talk to you and refund part of the fees you paid for a semester before? Just pay it all this month and get the remaining months back. ”

Wei Yunche was taken aback, "Why?" ”

Fang Ruoning frowned, unable to find a suitable reason, "I think...... Xuan Xuan doesn't seem to like this kindergarten. ”

In fact, after going back to pick up her son from Aunt Lin last night, she thought about the "debate" or dispute with Huo Lingxiao along the way, and she became more and more uneasy, and she always felt that it was safer to "hide" her son.

"Don't like it?" Wei Yunche looked at her curiously, "Did Xuan Xuan tell you?" ”

Fang Ruoning stubbornly continued to lie, "Well, so I want to find another one." ”

Wei Yunche naturally saw that she didn't explain the truth, and Zhengse glanced at her and persuaded: "This is one of the best kindergartens in Haicheng, if this kindergarten dissatisfies you, then I estimate that it will be more difficult for other kindergartens to satisfy you." ”

"Moreover, this institution is from kindergarten, and can go directly to primary school and junior high school in the future, and the teachers are the best in the city, to be honest, if it weren't for my acquaintance with the leaders of the kindergarten, Xuanxuan would not be able to transfer to the class at all, you have to wait until the next year to participate in the kindergarten interview and pass, before you can enter the kindergarten."

Fang Ruoning knew that it was not good to trouble people like this, but now that Wei Yunche said it, he became more and more entangled.

"Ruoning, I think you have been hiding a lot of things from me recently, if you really have any troubles, you confess to me, and I will help you."

Looking at Wei Yunche's serious face, she flinched again, "Forget it, let's continue reading, it may be that he is not adapted to the new environment." ”

The topic ended without a hitch, and she thought of another point: "One more thing." ”

"You say."

Fang Ruoning hesitated, "Can someone else take over my job?" I don't want to deal with Huo. ”

This time, Wei Yunche was even more surprised, "Why?" ”

Fang Ruoning's expression was indifferent, and his tone was a little colder, "There's no why, personal preference." You said before that you invited me to return to China to join the law firm in order to win the Huo family, and now that you have signed the contract anyway, it's nothing to steal the beams and change the pillars, and the excellent ones in the law firm are no worse than me. ”

Wei Yunche looked at her puzzled, then got up and walked over to close the door, and when he turned back, he put one hand on the back of the chair behind her, and the other hand on the edge of the desk, covering her with the whole person.

Staring deeply at the woman in front of him, Wei Yunche twisted his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Ruoning, tell me the truth, are you related to Huo Lingxiao or the rest of the Huo family, what do you ...... Special relationship? ”

Forced to meet Wei Yunche's probing deep gaze, Fang Ruoning panicked suddenly, and opened his eyes weakly: "It's nothing, I'm just ...... I think Huo Lingxiao is not very easy to get along with, and he has a deep prejudice against women, I think it may be better to change to a male lawyer. ”

Regarding Huo Lingxiao's misogyny of women and the rule of never using close female subordinates, Wei Yunche has also heard about it.

Hearing this, he immediately thought of what happened last night, "Did Huo Lingxiao embarrass you last night?" ”

"Sort of......

Originally, Wei Yunche wooed Fang Ruoning to return to China, in addition to her professional ability, there were also personal emotional factors.

Since she made it clear that she didn't want to work with Huo Lingxiao, Wei Yunche thought about it and didn't want her to approach Huo anymore.

"Okay, then I'll negotiate with that side, and they need to agree to this adjustment, after all, it's already indicated in the signing contract."

Fang Ruoning breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, thank you, Senior Brother." ”

"Thank you, my requests to you have always been responsive."

“……”

Fang Ruoning couldn't answer this, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, but fortunately, she remembered that Wei Yunche had called her to the office just now, so she immediately changed the topic: "By the way, senior brother, what are you calling me to say?" ”

Wei Yunche sighed, got up and walked back to his place and sat down, "I was originally going to tell you that there are two cases involving litigation on the Huo family's side this morning, and we have to go to meet with Minister Zhong and them for a meeting, but you said that you are not willing to take over the Huo family's case anymore......" He shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "Then I have to go by myself." ”

Fang Ruoning suddenly felt guilty, "What about Zhang Zhenwei?" ”

"He drank too much last night, and he hasn't gotten up yet, and my wife answered me when I called, saying that he vomited all night, and he slept soundly when it was almost dawn, and he couldn't wake up at this time."

"Why do you drink so much!"

"There's no way, the dignified Huo Group, how many law firms are staring at it, although we signed a contract and it is a cooperative relationship, but in the end, people are the bosses, we are serving others, can you not drink the wine? The few in their legal department have a good amount of alcohol, and Zhang Zhenwei and I are lucky to come back alive. ”

Although he knew that the domestic business scene was like this, he couldn't talk about business without wine, he couldn't run business, and he couldn't get close, but Fang Ruoning still didn't like this atmosphere very much.

Seeing that Wei Yunche was still rubbing the corners of his forehead, he must have a hangover and a headache, while she sympathized, she smiled and said, "I don't drink, and I can't share it for you, so change to a male lawyer, and I will have more strength when I fight for alcohol in the future." ”

Wei Yunche smiled and seemed speechless.

escaped a catastrophe, Fang Ruoning stayed in the law firm in the morning.

At ten o'clock, assistant Lin Tianai knocked on the door and came in, "Sister Ruoning, there is a female client in the office to consult about the situation of drunk driving accidents, and may have to hire a lawyer to fight a lawsuit, Director Chen will let you be responsible." ”

Chen Qiandong is one of the partners of the law firm, and he usually arranges this kind of work assignment.

Fang Ruoning wished he had more work on his hands, so that he could better push off the Huo family's side, and immediately raised his head when he heard this: "Okay, you can bring someone over." ”

"Hmm." Lin Tianai turned around and walked away, and soon walked over with a young woman dressed in fashion, "Ms. Xu, this lawyer Fang, but our boss hired a well-known barrister who has just returned from the United Kingdom. ”

Listening to Lin Tianai's introduction, Fang Ruoning smiled in his heart, secretly thinking that this little assistant would also be able to slap the horse, and then got up from his seat.

However, when he raised his eyes to look at the door and caught a glimpse of the woman who stepped into the office, the expression on Fang Ruoning's face froze.

The client who was brought in by Lin Tianai raised his eyes when he nodded and thanked him, and he was also surprised to see the "well-known barrister" who got up from behind the desk.

The eyes of the two met, and Xu Meihui was the first to come back to her senses, "It's you?!" ”

Lin Tianai was stunned, and was also taken aback when he saw that they obviously knew each other.

"Xiao Ai, you go out first." The ugliness of the family is not publicized, Fang Ruoning didn't want his colleagues to know his family situation, so he immediately ordered lightly.

"Yes, Sister Ruoning." Lin Tianai looked at them again, exited, and closed the door.

Fang Ruoning's expression suddenly became indifferent, and before she could speak, Xu Meihui asked again, "When did you come back?" Why don't you tell your dad when you come back? ”

Returning to his position and sitting down, Fang Ruoning said lukewarmly: "It's been half a month since I came back, I wanted to go back to see you, but I was afraid that you would not be happy to see me." ”

"Heh-" Xu Meihui dragged away the chair and sat down, smiling arrogantly and elegantly, "You are self-aware." ”

Fang Ruoning sat behind the desk and didn't say a word.

"However, next week is your brother's third birthday, now that you're back, the eldest sister, do you have to go back and see? Speaking of which, it's not easy for your younger brother to come, when my baby was hit by you and miscarried, causing uterine damage, and then I was pregnant with two more children and didn't keep it, almost making your father think that I couldn't give birth in my life, and almost abandoned me, but fortunately, ...... God opened his eyes, and finally let me get pregnant again, and I was born safely and smoothly. Your dad is too happy to have a son late! No, Yuhan is three years old, and your father said that he would hold a birthday party in a five-star hotel. ”
