After the scumbag Bai Yueguang returned to China, the rich daughter stopped pretending

Lu Shuci chose a western restaurant with a great atmosphere.

The interior decoration of the restaurant is mainly warm colors, and soft light shines through the exquisite chandeliers, adding a touch of dreamy glow to the warmth.

There are several colorful retro-style oil paintings hanging on the wall, adding a touch of artistic spirit to this quiet space.

Lu Shuci held Gu Tian's hand, and Ruan Chutang held Ruan Jiaojiao's hand.

The waiter led them to a seat by the window with a great view.

A bouquet of small and delicate flowers was placed on the round glass table, emitting a faint fragrance that made people feel relaxed and happy.

The two children sat down next to each other.

Lu Shuci and Chu Tang also sat down. The round table was not big, so they sat next to each other.

The gentle classical piano music flows slowly and ripples in the air.

After Lu Shuci ordered the dishes for the children, he handed the menu to Ruan Chutang.

The moment Chu Tang raised her eyes, she was unexpectedly met with a pair of dark and deep eyes.

She was stunned and the smile on her face disappeared.

Jiang Shixu stood not far away, his eyes wide and deep.

Next to him stood a beautiful woman with a slim figure and big wavy hair.

Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, Chu Tang recognized the woman as Shu Mingyue at first sight.

Thinking of what Zhou Xueluo had told her, that Shu Mingyue returned to China this time for Jiang Shixu, Chu Tang felt a lump in her heart and calmly withdrew her gaze.

Lu Shuci also saw the couple.

He cast a meaningful look at Jiang Shixu, and said with a smile on his lips, "What a coincidence, Mr. Jiang, is this Mr. Jiang's girlfriend?"

Jiang Shixu's face darkened, and his voice was as cold as winter frost, "No."

Shu Mingyue greeted with a smile: "Hello, my name is Shu Mingyue, I'm Ah Xu's..."

Shu Mingyue's gaze paused delicately on Ruan Chutang for a moment before she continued, "Friend."

Chu Tang's face remained calm, but there were ripples in his heart.

She called him "Axu".

Chu Tang fell asleep to hide the emotions that flashed across his eyes.

"Chutang, long time no see. Do you still remember me? We have met before." Shu Mingyue raised a bright smile and said to Ruan Chutang.

Ruan Chutang nodded and replied indifferently, "I remember. It's been many years since we last met. I hope you are doing well."

Jiang Shixu walked towards their table with a cold face.

Shu Mingyue followed.

"Lawyer Ruan, how are the Jiang cases going?" Jiang Shixu pulled a chair from the table next to him and sat down next to Chutang.

Chu Tang spoke in a calm tone, with no expression on his face, "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I've been sorting out the cases your company has entrusted me with lately, and I've even gone through the evidence twice."

The table was not big to begin with, and after Jiang Shixu sat down, there were only five people at the table, which was a bit crowded.

Shu Mingyue stood aside and said with a smile: "A Xu, it's time to get off work now. We can talk about work another day. Let's go sit over there. Chu Tang has a date, so let's not disturb him."

Jiang Shixu's eyes turned even colder. He looked at Chu Tang with a half-smile, "Date?"

Chu Tang frowned slightly, "Just came out to have a meal."

Her subconscious explanation softened Jiang Shixu's expression.

But he still felt very sad.

Before he knew it, Lu Shuci asked Tangtang out for dinner.

Glancing at the two children sitting opposite him, Jiang Shixu understood that Lu Shuci was using the children as a pretext to make an appointment with Chutang.

"Okay Chutang, I know you're shy." Shu Mingyue pulled Jiang Shixu's sleeve, "Shixu, let's go."

Jiang Shixu dodged Shu Mingyue sideways to prevent her from touching him.

The man said coldly, "Since Lawyer Ruan and Lawyer Lu aren't dating, you shouldn't mind if I share a table, right? We're all old acquaintances, and I haven't seen Lawyer Ruan in a while. I'd like to take this opportunity to have a good chat with him about our firm's cases."

Shu Mingyue's face froze.

Lu Shuci smiled softly, "Boss Jiang, I'm afraid it's not very convenient. Lawyer Ruan and I are taking care of the children today."

Jiang Shixu looked at Ruan Jiaojiao across from him, put on a gentle smile, and asked, "Jiaojiao, do you mind if I sit here and eat with you?"

Ruan Jiaojiao recognized Jiang Shixu. She used to call him "brother-in-law" happily. Jiang Shixu was very nice to her and bought her a lot of toys. Of course, she didn't mind this "brother-in-law" having dinner with her.

Ruan Jiaojiao said crisply, "I don't mind."

Jiang Shixu smiled and looked at Lu Shuci. "Jiaojiao doesn't mind, so why is Lawyer Lu so stingy?"

Lu Shuci met Jiang Shixu's gaze without showing any weakness, and smiled gently, "Boss Jiang brought a beautiful lady for a date today. If she has to share a table with us, what about Miss Shu?"

Jiang Shixu's expression remained unchanged as he said to Shu Mingyue, "Sorry, something urgent has happened. You should go back first. We'll discuss the project another day."

He mentioned the project deliberately to explain to Chutang that he was not here for a date today, but to discuss the project.

He and Shu Mingyue are just business partners.

When Jiang Shixu said this, he stared at Chutang without blinking.

However, Chu Tang didn't look at him, and there was no expression on his face, and he didn't seem to care.

Jiang Shixu felt a little lost.

Lu Shuci smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, this is really unmannerly. How could he leave Miss Shu behind?"

Jiang Shixu's eyes were cold, "Don't worry about that."

After saying that, he took the menu and added two dishes for himself, looking very relaxed, as if he had come here with Chu Tang originally.

Chu Tang pursed her lips, glanced at Shu Mingyue, and felt jealous.

"Since Mr. Jiang came here with Miss Shu, it would be wrong to leave her behind. Let's discuss the case tomorrow. It's not working hours now, and I don't want to discuss work during my break."

Jiang Shixu raised an eyebrow. "Don't want to talk about work during your break? That's not your style, Lawyer Ruan. I remember you and Lawyer Lu having a lively conversation about work in your living room."

Jiang Shixu's eyes were cold, and his tone was filled with jealousy. "Why don't you want to talk about work when you're here with me?"

Chu Tang glanced at him coldly, her eyes seemed to say "Stop being unreasonable."

Seeing Shu Mingyue's embarrassed expression, Chu Tang sighed helplessly and stood up to go to another large table.

"Since Mr. Jiang wants to share a table, let's get a bigger one."

Jiang Shixu raised his eyebrows.

After Ruan Chutang sat down, Ruan Jiaojiao and Gu Tian walked over obediently and sat down at the big table.

Jiang Shixu smiled, stood up and sat next to Chutang.

Seeing that there was an extra seat, Shu Mingyue sat next to Jiang Shixu.

Lu Shuci had no choice but to follow.

The originally happy date was disrupted by Jiang Shixu, and the romantic atmosphere was gone.

Lu Shuci cast an unfriendly look at Jiang Shixu.

Jiang Shixu curled his lips and gave him a triumphant smile provocatively.

Shu Mingyue noticed the smell of gunpowder and the small movements between the two men, and her fingers holding the coffee cup gradually tightened.
