Chapter 87: High-level duel
"Suzu ~ Suzu ~"
Apple's built-in mobile phone rings, breaking the dead silence.
Ms. Xiao paused before taking out her phone.
Catching a glimpse of the number on the screen, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she still stood up and walked out of the balcony to answer the phone.
Xu Xiaxi was immediately like a deflated ball, and the whole person collapsed.
She almost thought she couldn't hold it anymore.
Ye Qian was not much better than Xu Xiaxi, and when Ms. Xiao's voice was isolated outside the glass door, she finally dared to take a big breath.
patted his chest desperately, and said with palpitations: "I'm scared to death, Xia Xi, you were too brave just now!" Dare to talk to Aunt Xiao like this, I almost thought I was going to collect your body! ”
Xu Xiaxi glared at her angrily, "What nonsense!" Also, that's my mother, I'm afraid she's still excusable, why are you more cowardly than me?
Also, how will she know about my job? Did you snitch it? ”
Ye Qian pulled out a bitter gourd face, and argued half-helplessly and half-flatteringly: "It's not that you don't know Aunt Xiao's skills, when she looks at me, my guts will be frightened by her, where do you dare to lie in front of her old man." Besides, you can't blame me entirely for this, can you?
You found such a job by yourself and didn't tell Aunt Xiao for most of the year, do you think she can not be suspicious? ”
At this time, Ye Qian would never remember that she also instigated Xu Xiaxi to go to Wanzong for an interview.
"Your mother objected to you being a lawyer?" Fu Lichen's faint voice suddenly came.
Xu Xiaxi and Ye Qian were stunned at the same time.
A person with such a strong sense of existence as Fu Lichen should be the most completely 'invisible' for him.
It's good that he didn't speak rashly just now, otherwise the scene would only be more chaotic.
Xu Xiaxi hesitated for a moment between telling the truth or not, and finally nodded, "Yes." ”
"Why?" Fu Lichen's tone rarely revealed a little doubt.
It's really that Ms. Xiao's opposition just now is too tough and too weird.
How could he force his daughter to resign on the premise that he had found a new job and was doing well, and the most irresponsible 'just leave'.
Xu Xiaxi pursed her lips and said helplessly: "Because Ms. Xiao, she hates the law and any job that can remind her of the police profession. Even jobs that require security, such as banking, are within Ms. Xiao's prohibition, let alone a lawyer who deals directly with the judicial system. ”
She had long known that Ms. Xiao would not be happy with the job she was looking for, but she did not expect Ms. Xiao's reaction to be so big, so tough, and even completely disregarded her wishes.
The cold and hard words just now really broke her heart.
Xu Xiaxi's voice was low, full of sadness and disappointment.
Ms. Xiao, who happened to be heard by Ms. Xiao, who had returned to the living room after finishing the call.
Ms. Xiao's cold face froze slightly, and her eyes stared at Xu Xiaxi deeply, without moving.
Ye Qian and Zheng Xuan both found her, but no one dared to remind Xu Xiaxi at this time, but they both lowered their heads silently, pretending that they were just a small mushroom in the corner.
Fu Lichen's eyes flashed, as if he didn't notice Ms. Xiao's existence, and said to Xu Xiaxi lightly: "I have a document left on the desktop in the office, you go and help me get it." ”
“???”
Xu Xiaxi was sad, and suddenly received Fu Lichen's task that had nothing to do with the eight poles, and he was stunned.
He couldn't even care about being sad, and asked suspiciously, "What did you say?" ”
She suspected that she had misheard, or who was Fu Lichen talking to on the phone?
However, Fu Lichen's eyes were calm, and he said directly: "Go quickly!" I'll use the file later. ”
"Huh? Oh! Years of habit made Xu Xiaxi subconsciously agree.
As soon as I looked up, I saw that Ms. Xiao had returned, and she froze again.
Ms. Xiao's eyes were no longer on Xu Xiaxi, but instead looked at Fu Lichen, her eyebrows raised slightly, and she asked in a cold tone, "Haven't asked for advice yet?" ”
Fu Lichen's attitude was rare to be docile and kind, and he nodded slightly at Ms. Xiao, "Hello Ms. Xiao, my name is Fu Lichen, and I am ......."
Ms. Xiao's expression changed, and her gaze looked at Fu Lichen almost sharply, and the way she looked at it was very similar to that of a middle school dean.
Only a person of Fu Lichen's rank can hold it, without being embarrassed and weak, and even the expression on his face has not changed in the slightest.
Just looked back at Ms. Xiao quietly.
The two of them are too high, they don't know it, but it makes the innocent people on the side feel Alexander!
After a long while, Ms. Xiao suddenly laughed, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, but this smile did not reach her eyes at all.
"It turns out that you are Fu Lichen!"
Fu Lichen's eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth also rose.
It turned out that Ms. Xiao actually recognized him?
"Mom!" Xu Xiaxi shouted eagerly, interrupting the confrontation between the two.
She was afraid that Ms. Xiao would say something that she shouldn't say again, so she hurriedly introduced: "Fu, Lawyer Fu is my boss. He happened to live in this building, so he drove me back. ”
Ms. Xiao ignored her directly, looked at Fu Lichen and continued: "Fu Hong's son, I know you. ”
At this moment, Fu Lichen was not surprised, but this doubt only turned around in his heart and did not show it.
His expression remained unchanged, nodded at Ms. Xiao again, and said politely and thoughtfully: "It's my honor to be in your eyes." ”
Ms. Xiao hooked the corners of her mouth with a smile and asked coldly: "I was talking to my daughter, I don't know what Lawyer Fu has to advise."
"I don't dare to instruct, but Xixi is still my subordinate. I urgently need a document now, just ask her to help run errands, and hope that Ms. Xiao can be accommodating.
After all, some things have been done, and some responsibilities should still be fulfilled. Am I right? Fu Lichen's attitude in reply was calm and docile, and his tone was even more patient than ever.
The magnetic voice is even more bewildering.
Rao is a person like Ms. Xiao who doesn't eat soft and hard also has the illusion of being bewitched, and he can't be angry at Fu Lichen like before.
Ms. Xiao herself is a very strict and responsible person, and just now she was just thinking about bringing Shi Qingxue back to Beijing regardless of her anger.
Calm down now, naturally you won't decide everything as forcefully as you did just now.
She was silent for two seconds, but she still gave in and agreed that Xu Xiaxi would go and help Fu Lichen get the documents back first.
But Xu Xiaxi looked at the scene of the confrontation between the two, but left without worry.
Are you kidding!
These two are great gods, and their tempers are the kind of people who are cold and stubborn and have strong self-ideas, what if there is a disagreement and a fight?
She didn't move, and she hadn't figured out what to do.
The two great gods turned their heads to look at her at the same time, the indifferent expressions on their faces were the same, and even the similarity of the slightly frowning movements reached 90%.
Almost at the same time, they spoke: "Don't go yet!" ”
Four words.
Whether it is the content or the tone of voice, it is exactly the same!
Double Fu Lichen or Double Ms. Xiao's coercion was released, Xu Xiaxi immediately coaxed and ran away.
As soon as Xu Xiaxi left, Fu Lichen said to Ye Qian and Zheng Xuan: "Please go out and wait for a while." ”
Ye Qian & Zheng Xuan: "......"
At this time, no matter how stupid people were, Fu Lichen just asked Xu Xiaxi to get the documents, just to get Xu Xiaxi.
It's just that when they came here, Lawyer Fu didn't bother to find the connection, and cleared the scene directly.
Ye Qian and Zheng Xuan didn't dare to have any opinions, so they went out obediently, and closed the door for the two of them intimately.
Ms. Xiao sat back on the sofa, raised her chin to Sha Yang on the side, and motioned for Fu Lichen to sit.
Fu Lichen was also polite and sat down on the sofa next to Ms. Xiao.
"What do you want to say?" Ms. Xiao's expression was arrogant and cold, as if she didn't take Fu Lichen in her eyes at all.
Fu Lichen just smiled and said, "The junior wants to talk to you about Xixi's continued work in the law firm." ”
Ms. Xiao's face immediately sank, "There's nothing to talk about here, she won't want to engage in law." ”
Fu Lichen was silent for a moment, the smile on his face remained unchanged, "Is it that she doesn't want it, or do you not want her to engage in this business?" ”
“…… Even if I don't want to? I've discussed this with her a long time ago. And she promised me! Ms. Xiao took out Xu Xiaxi's previous promise and said something.
Regardless of the antecedents, since Xu Xiaxi promised her, she should do what she says.
Fu Lichen changed his words, "You should know that Xixi is very suitable for this job. ”
"Hee-hee is so smart, she can do anything as long as she wants to." Ms. Xiao rejected Fu Lichen's reason in a few words.
Between the words, it was full of affirmation of Xu Xiaxi's ability.
"But other jobs are not what she really wants to do." Fu Lichen pointed out the key issues to the point.
Ms. Xiao still refused to let go, "So what, there are so many people in this world who can't do the job they like, and she is just one of them." ”
"But you and Mr. Xu are both engaged in the jobs they like, don't Xixi, who is the crystallization of your love, even have the qualifications to pursue the jobs you like?"
Ms. Xiao's breath faltered, and her eyes became extremely sharp for a moment, "What do you know?" ”
Fu Lichen's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "I only know that Mr. Xu definitely doesn't want his baby daughter to miss out on her favorite job, just for her mother's obsession." ”
Ms. Xiao: "......"
The expression on her face was almost distorted, staring at Fu Lichen.
Fu Lichen's eyes were slightly downcast, and he said softly and calmly: "Ms. Xiao, that incident has been so long, you may still not be able to forgive those people for what they did, but there are some things, it's time to let it pass!" ”
"Why!" Ms. Xiao shouted excitedly, with a resentful expression, and said word by word: "Ah Ding's life is not good, I don't complain about dying in the line of duty, at least Ah Ding died well!"
But Ah Ding obviously sacrificed for that incident back then, why did his leaders say that the case was sensitive and could not be spread outside, so they directly buried the case.
Not to mention avenging Ah Ding, he gave him justice, but he didn't even give him a decent funeral!
How do you ask me to forgive those people!? ”
The questioning voice was louder than loud, and Ms. Xiao was no longer suppressed, and vented all her grievances against the 'public power' over the years.
It's not that she doesn't want Xu Xiaxi to get her wish, she just doesn't want to see her loved one suffer such unfair treatment again!
"It's just...... Want an explanation? ”
