Chapter 57: That ...... Does my husband like it?
Is the Ning family small?
Fu Jinnian?
Familiar titles, familiar names.
Ning Xi stared at Fu Jinnian's face, and finally found some familiar traces on that handsome face.
"Are you...... Brother Rice Cake?! β
Ning Xi and her brother Ning Chen are eight years apart, and they were their brother's followers when they were young.
At that time, Fu Jinnian, the son of the Fu family who lived next door to the old house, had always been good friends with Ning Chen, and he had always doted on the little sister of the Ning family.
At that time, Ning Xi was young and couldn't remember his name, so he always liked to call him "Brother Rice Cake".
No wonder, he said he was a big fan of hers.
Ning Xi remembers that when she was a child, she just learned the piano and couldn't play a few tunes, but she liked to hold recitals the most.
Brother Ning Chen and the neighbor's "rice cake brother" are her most loyal listeners.
Fu Jinnian smiled brightly, "I thought you really forgot about me!" β
Ning Xi smiled and shook his head, "The main thing is that it's been too long. β
When Fu Jinnian immigrated to country M with her father, she was only five or six years old.
After more than ten years, the former beautiful boy has grown up, where can she still recognize it?
"Yes, it's been more than ten years since I left." Thinking of the previous events, Fu Jinnian also sighed with some emotion, "I really didn't expect that the Ning family would become like this now." β
Hearing him mention the old mansion, Ning Xi's smile also disappeared on his face.
Seeing that she was a little depressed, Fu Jinnian let her sit down on the sofa again.
"I've heard a little about the Ning family, is Uncle Ning okay?"
"I just had surgery a few days ago and I'm recovering well." Ning Xi regained his spirits, "I know, you and my brother used to be good friends, but ...... I don't want you to be too reluctant about the case. β
For so many days, I am used to seeing the hot and cold world.
Of course, Ning Xi would not be naΓ―ve to think that with the friendship between Ning Chen and Fu Jinnian before, the other party would help her.
"This case is really a bit of a challenge for me. I'm not afraid to tell you directly, I took this case, not just to help Ning Chen. Fu Jinnian shrugged his shoulders, "You also know that I just returned to China and need a big case to open up the situation in China." β
The world was originally utilitarian.
Fu Jinnian said this, but he could accept it.
Tianning's case, if Fu Jinnian can help Ning Chen overturn the case, then his fame will instantly start in Yanjing.
"But ......" Ning Xi was still a little worried, "You haven't thought about it, in case you ......"
"What in case, in case I lose?" Fu Jinnian raised his eyebrows, "Don't you even believe that your brother is innocent?" β
"Of course not, my brother must be innocent, I just don't have enough evidence right now."
"Find evidence, do an investigation, go to court...... These are the things I'm good at. Fu Jinnian stretched out his right hand to her again, "That'...... Happy working together? β
Standing up, Ning Xi stretched out his right hand and held his palm.
"Thank you, Fu Lu."
"Don't call me Brother Rice Cake now?"
Hearing him mention his childhood troubles, he would rather have a hot face.
"You can't blame me, who told you to introduce yourself when you first introduced yourself and said that you were the year of 'rice cakes'!"
"I'm hungry when you talk about rice cakes." Fu Jinnian raised his wrist to look at the time, "It's almost noon, let's go...... Let's find a place to eat, and then you tell me about your brother's situation carefully. β
The two of them found a nearby restaurant, and when they were eating, Ning Xi carefully explained what he knew to Fu Jinnian.
Fu Jinnian listened carefully, asked a few key points from time to time, and carefully recorded them on his mobile phone.
Before you know it, the meal has been eaten until mid-afternoon.
"Okay, I probably already understand the situation, I will ask the assistant to draw up a contract and send it to you later, and when you sign the authorization, I can arrange for my subordinates to start the evidence investigation."
Fu Lu ...... would rather turn the water cup in his hand, "Can I pay your lawyer's fees in installments?" β
"Let's fight the lawsuit first, and when the lawsuit is won, your brother's fine will be returned by the court, and then you won't have to worry about lawyer fees." Fu Jinnian stared at her face across the table, "However, I have a small request. β
"You say, if only I can do it!"
"Hearing you call me Fu Lu, I always feel a little awkward." Fu Jinnian smiled, "Everyone is so familiar, just call your name directly!" β
Ning Xi thought for a while, "Otherwise, I'll call you Brother Jinnian, right?" β
"As long as it's not rice cake brother."
Hearing him say this, Ning Xi also laughed.
Fu Jinnian raised his right hand and beckoned the waiter to settle the bill.
He had just figured out his credit card, and he had taken the initiative to scan the code with his mobile phone to pay for the bill.
The other party was helping her run errands, and this meal should have been invited by her.
"Domestic mobile phone payment is really convenient, okay, I won't rob you this time...... But next time, I must please! β
"No problem." Rather smile and respond.
The two came out of the restaurant together and parked on the side of the road, and Fu Jinnian offered to take her home.
"I still live in the old mansion of the Fu family before, just along the way."
"My family's house has been seized by the bank, and I don't live there now." Ning Xi tried hard to pull out a smiling face, "Another day, when the time comes, I will also go to visit my sister-in-law by the way." β
"Sister-in-law?" Fu Jinnian smiled and shook his head, "Then I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." β
Ning Xi was a little surprised, "I'm sorry, I thought it was ...... Brother Jin Nian has already got married. β
"Probably because...... I take my work too seriously and don't like girls. Fu Jinnian smiled self-deprecatingly, "But ...... My sister is going back to China in the next two days, she is about the same age as you, and you two can get to know each other. β
Ning Xi smiled and agreed, but she was a little puzzled in her heart.
Why didn't she remember that Fu Jinnian still had a younger sister?
It's just that I'm young and forget these details, so I don't want to ask more.
After saying goodbye to Fu Jinnian and visiting his father in the hospital, he would rather return to Shangpin Huating early.
I bought ingredients from the supermarket and prepared a hearty dinner with Sister Sun.
Brew the specially bought red wine, pour it into the decanter and wake up.
Ning Xi took a serious shower, put on light makeup, and picked out a black silk skirt from the wardrobe and put it on her body.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she turned and walked out of the bedroom.
In the hallway, Jiang Lu happened to walk in with a computer.
Ning Xi hurried over and took his computer bag.
"How's it going, is the work going well?"
"Fortunately, Tianning's situation is better than I thought."
Jiang Lu turned his face and saw Ning Xi, who was wearing a black sundress and long hair, stretched out his palm to support her arm.
"Why do you wear so little, isn't it cold?"
"It's cold at night, I turn on the air conditioner, and it's just right to wear a skirt." Ning Xi helped him put the computer bag aside, "Are you hungry or not, do you eat first or take a shower first?" β
Pulling her in front of him, Jiang Lu clasped her waist and gently stroked her long hair with his fingers.
He noticed that she was wearing makeup, and her lips were very attractive cherry powder.
"I remember...... The first time you went to me, you wore this lipstick, right? β
Ning Xi didn't expect it, he still remembered.
A little surprised, she smiled and met his eyes.
"That'...... Does my husband like it? β
Jiang Lu didn't speak, just lowered his head and kissed her, and replied with a kiss.
