Chapter 020: Internal and external troubles come together

Her eyes blinked lightly, and when she came back to her senses, she suppressed a buzzing sound in her head, lowered her eyes, and said, "That, thank you Mr. Huo for your kindness, I'll ask a friend to help pick it up, I still have something to do, I have to go back to the law firm." ”

"Really? Since that's the case, why don't I pick it up for you, it just so happens that Ziqian likes Fang Yunxuan so much, and he couldn't ...... last time he wanted to invite him to his house."

Before he finished speaking, Fang Ruoning's brain exploded, and he hurriedly said, "No need, Mr. Huo!" My friend just picks it up! ”

The man shrugged gracefully, "It seems that Lawyer Fang still doesn't trust me, and he still treats me as a human trafficker." ”

Fang Ruoning smiled faintly, "Mr. Huo is too worried, we are just a subordinate relationship, or a partnership relationship, it really makes no sense for you to help me pick up the child." ”

The topic ended in embarrassment, Fang Ruoning packed up the documents and materials, and said with full etiquette: "Mr. Huo, if you don't have any instructions, I'll go back to the law firm first." ”

The man stood at the desk and lightly hooked his lips, raised his hand, and made a gesture of pleading.

Fang Ruoning bowed his head and turned around.

Got into the elevator, couldn't help relaxing, raised her wrist to look at the time, at this time it was still too late to rush to the kindergarten, she took out her mobile phone and prepared to call her best friend, don't trouble her to pick it up.

I don't want to, as soon as the phone is taken out, the ringtone rings.

"Hey, brother."

At that end, Wei Yunche's voice came with a little seriousness: "Ruoning, are you done with your work over there?" ”

"I'm just done, I'm about to leave Huo's, what's wrong?"

"Hurry back to the law office, your father is here."

What the?

There was a bang in her head, and her face froze, "My dad went to the law firm?" ”

"Well, with your stepmother, I heard Director Chen talk about the morning, presumably they came to you on a special trip, and they will definitely not stop waiting for you."

didn't want these two to be watched by her colleagues in the law firm, so she immediately said: "Okay, I'll go back immediately!" ”

I hung up the phone and called my girlfriend again, but my mind didn't change.

"Xiaojing, I'm done with work, but Wei Yunche called me and said that my dad and Xu Meihui went to the law firm, waiting for me, I have to go back to the law firm to see. I still want to trouble you to help me pick up Xuanxuan, you can take it with you first, don't contact me for the time being, I don't want them to know that I have a baby. ”

Feng Xuejing was driving away from the company at this time, and she was also taken aback when she heard this, "How did your father know that you were back?" Do you know where you work? ”

"Hey......" Fang Ruoning sighed helplessly and upset, "It's a long story, this morning, Xu Meihui went to our law firm, and heard that her brother was drunk and drove - our director handed over this case to me to do, she was surprised to see me, and then broke up unhappily, who knows, so soon brought my dad to come." ”

"And what's going on?!" Feng Xuejing was equally shocked.

"yes...... Hey, let's go back, you help me pick up Xuanxuan first, and I'll take a taxi back to the law firm. ”

"Okay, okay, you don't have to worry about Xuanxuan here, I'll rush over as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Fang Ruoning walked to the side of the road to stop the car and went straight to CBD Yuntian Law Firm.

*

Wei Yunche closed his phone and looked at Fang Bingguo and his wife in the reception room.

He has known Fang Ruoning for almost five years, and he doesn't know much about Fang Ruoning's family, but he can roughly guess a thing or two.

Fang Bingguo's original partner died of illness, and later he dated a lot of women, but this Xu Meihui is the most capable, and she has been divided and combined intermittently for many years, and finally became the second Mrs. Fang.

But it is rumored that Fang Bingguo has been neglecting to take care of his daughter after the death of his original partner, and later he simply threw it abroad and ignored it.

For Ruoning, I'm afraid that this father didn't exist a long time ago, so even after returning to China, he didn't contact his family.

But I don't want to, I can't write a book without coincidence, and I still can't escape.

"Mr. Fang, I called Ruoning, she was on her way back to the law firm just after finishing work."

Fang Bingguo has a fat head and big ears, he is in his fifties, and his figure is also blessed, but that face can vaguely see the demeanor of his youth, so Fang Ruoning's beauty is also traceable.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled and asked with a smile, "How did Lawyer Wei and the little girl meet?" ”

"Ruoning is an alumnus of my university at Oxford, five years ago, when I returned to the university to participate in the anniversary celebration, I had the good fortune to meet Ruoning, who is studying for a master's degree at the University of Oxford. ”

"Oh......" Fang Bingguo nodded, squinting at the man in front of him, "No wonder, Ruoning joined your law firm as soon as he returned to China." ”

Wei Yunche also said frankly and generously: "Ruoning returned to China, I strongly invited, speaking of which, I have to thank Mr. Fang for cultivating such an excellent daughter, don't look at Ruoning is young and worth a lot, if we hadn't known each other for a long time, and we have a very close personal relationship, I'm afraid that my small temple will not be able to accommodate Ruoning's big Buddha." ”

When Fang Bingguo heard this, he subconsciously glanced at the woman sitting next to him.

After Xu Meihui went back, she told him about it, saying that the daughter was out of business, a well-known lawyer, and the consultation fee was terrifying.

He still didn't believe it, but now that he heard Wei Yunche say it himself, the doubts in his heart were completely eliminated.

For a few years, the girl never returned to China, nor did she contact him by phone. A few years ago, he would call to ask during the Chinese New Year, but then the girl changed her mobile phone number, and he couldn't be contacted anymore.

originally wanted to go to the UK to find her, but Xu Meihui never allowed it, and he was busy with work, and he gave birth to a younger son in the past two years, and he lacked skills, so the matter was stopped.

Unexpectedly, this wild girl who has evaporated in the world for a few years suddenly came back and graduated from a prestigious school and became a barrister!

Since Wei Yunche has known that girl for so long, he must know more or less about these situations, so the sentence "I have to thank Mr. Fang for cultivating such an excellent and outstanding daughter" is praise and admiration on the surface, but in fact it is sneering.

For a moment, the surrounding atmosphere became awkward.

Xu Meihui looked left and right, but she didn't speak, she suddenly cleared her throat and smiled, and turned to look at Wei Yunche: "Lawyer Wei, I'm coming over today...... There's something coming for you, that ...... My brother was confused two days ago, and he drank alcohol with a client at night, and actually drove by himself, and he hit someone......"

Xu Meihui didn't finish speaking, Wei Yunche had already raised her hand to signal her to stop, "Mrs. Fang, I heard Director Chen also say about this matter, this matter, no matter what, your brother is at fault first, now how the police decide, you just do it." ”

"No! How can the police detain them according to the heaviest sentence as soon as they come up? My brother has been pampered since he was a child, and if he is told to go to a place like a detention center, it is just-"

Wei Yunche raised his hand again and stopped her words: "Mrs. Fang, it's not that I refuse to accept this case, but that I'm really busy right now and can't spare time." ”

Xu Meihui's mouth twitched, and she looked back at Fang Bingguo, "Husband...... You have something to say! That's your brother-in-law! You're going to sit back and watch? ”

Xu Meihui gave birth to a son, and Fang Bingguo has been even more responsive to her in the past few years, and then looked at Wei Yunche: "Lawyer Wei, I have also heard of your reputation in the industry, and this matter must be trivial to you." ”

Wei Yunche waved his hand and said truthfully: "Mr. Fang, I'm really sorry, our law firm is now serving as the legal counsel of Huo's Group, and I am the main person in charge. ”

Yuntian Law Firm cooperated with Huo's family, of course everyone in the circle knew about this matter, and Fang Bingguo was not easy to force.

The atmosphere was dull again, but fortunately, it didn't take long to be embarrassed, the door of the conference room suddenly opened, and several people looked back and saw that it was Fang Ruoning coming.

"Ruoning." Wei Yunche immediately smiled, walked over and patted her on the shoulder, "You have a good chat with your family, I'll go and get busy first." ”

"Well, I'm sorry for the trouble." Fang Ruoning smiled faintly, waited for him to walk out, and closed the door.

Turning around, she looked at the two people sitting in the conference room, and the expression on her face suddenly faded.

Fang Bingguo looked at her, she hadn't seen her for a few years, this girl had become more and more beautiful, her eyebrows and eyes were very similar to what her mother looked like when she was young, but she looked more confident and radiant than her mother when she was young.

After being silent for a few seconds, Fang Ruoning stepped forward and said lightly: "What are you looking for me?" ”

Fang Bingguo became angry when he heard this, and his eyebrows became serious: "Ruoning, what kind of attitude do you have?" I'm your father, you didn't say a word to your family when you returned to China, I took the initiative to come to see you, and you still have cold eyebrows! ”

"Oh, you know that you're my father?" Fang Ruoning laughed, his clear and bright eyes instantly exuded coldness and anger, "Since I went to the UK at the age of fifteen, to now, ten years, have you ever cared about me?" ”

"Why didn't I care?" Fang Bingguo's eyebrows widened, "I call you every year and ask if you will come back for the New Year, but you will not come back." In the past few years, you have simply changed your number and cut off contact with me, how can I care? ”

"If you have the heart, even if you can't get through by phone, you'll find a way to find me in London. I'm afraid that the late arrival will make you faint with joy, and you will forget that you have a daughter, right? ”

Fang Bingguo stared at her with a weak heart, his eyes revealing strangeness.

I haven't seen you for a few years, it's really different, and as a barrister, this mouth is much more powerful.

In the past, he was really too lazy to care about this wild girl, but now, thinking that she was so human, he had another little calculation in his heart: "Forget it, don't mention the past, I know that I owe you too much before, and I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a father, but now that you have returned to China, we are a family after all, and you are not married or married, so let's come back to live at home." ”

When the words fell, Xu Meihui turned her head over, "Fang Bingguo, you-"

"No need! It's good that I live outside, I don't want to go back, besides, that home didn't have my place ten years ago, and it won't be my home ten years later, so you family of three live well! ”

Taking the initiative to show favor was disliked, and the forcible love and friendliness on Fang Bingguo's face suddenly couldn't be hung up, "Ruoning, why are you still so stubborn?" Ten years ago, if it hadn't been for you—"

Before Fang Bingguo's stern words were finished, Fang Ruoning's mobile phone suddenly rang.

Lowering her head and taking out her mobile phone to look at the caller ID, she frowned suddenly, and hesitated to connect: "Hey, Xiaojing." ”

"Ruoning, Xuan Xuan was picked up!" As soon as the phone rang, Feng Xuejing's anxious and anxious voice came, "It was only five minutes after school when I arrived, and there were still many children in the class who hadn't picked it up, but Xuanxuan had already been picked up, I asked the teacher, and the teacher said that it was Huo Ziqian's uncle, isn't that Huo Lingxiao?!" What did he do when he took Xuan Xuan?! ”
