Moonlight falls into my arms

Of course, Huo Xingzhou was just saying it; as Jiang Yuci drove over to find him, he still opened the law firm's door to welcome this troublemaker.

"Let's go buy some wine," Huo Xingzhou called out.

Jiang Yuci sat opposite him. "I don't drink."

Huo Xingzhou exclaimed, "As expected of you, you can still hold back even at a time like this."

Huo Xingzhou sized him up, staring at his shirt collar, and rubbed his chin: "Looks like you're really angry, you even tore off a button."

Jiang Yuci glanced down at it. He didn't recall ever pulling at his collar, and he didn't know when it had fallen down.

My mind was filled with Ruan Li's words.

"She probably wanted to reject me from the very beginning," Jiang Yuci said.

Huo Xingzhou still didn't understand: "She really liked you before."

These days, young girls change their minds way too quickly.

“You said it yourself, it was in the past,” Jiang Yuci said.

Huo Xingzhou shut down his microphone.

Jiang Yuci looked at the pistachio in her palm and said, "What should I do now?"

Huo Xingzhou looked over.

The person who used to care about nothing is now helplessly asking him what to do.

Huo Xingzhou almost laughed. Haha, Jiang Yuci has finally met his match.

But I don't dare, because if I laugh, we'll really break off our friendship.

"Sigh, brother, seeing you like this really makes me feel bad for you." Huo Xingzhou touched his heart: "My heart is aching too."

Jiang Yuci stared at him with a deep gaze: "Speak normally."

Huo Xingzhou: "Since her mind changes so quickly, why don't you just make her change back?"

Jiang Yuci had never imagined there was such a path, and his dim eyes brightened.

Huo Xingzhou clicked his tongue twice: "See? You're lacking in this area. Do you know how many people get divorced in our country every year? And how many of them get divorced because of infidelity?"

Jiang Yu resigned: "What does this have to do with me?"

Huo Xingzhou: "......"

"What I mean is, even married people can change their minds and get divorced, let alone her, who has only changed her mind. You can just seduce her back."

I won't do anything to seduce people.

"It can't really be called seduction. To put it nicely, it's called pursuing someone, being a simp, or enticing them."

Jiang Yuci stated objectively: "Those three words of yours don't sound much better than seduction."

Huo Xingzhou patted his back: "Who cares if it sounds good or not, as long as the result is good, that's all that matters. Do you like her? Do you want to be with her? If you do, then do it; if you don't, then don't. It's that simple."

Jiang Yuci didn't reply to him, quietly looking at her palm.

"Alright, you can do it." Huo Xingzhou knew him all too well.

If he hadn't done it, he would have left long ago.

"Take a look at this first." Huo Xingzhou pulled out a document from the side and handed it to Jiang Yuci.

“What…” Jiang Yuci’s gaze fell down.

“I could have taken the case back, but your mother intervened, and now I’m completely helpless against her. I can only rely on you.”

"I'll handle this. You should prepare the relevant evidence for the case first."

Huo Xingzhou raised an eyebrow. "You agreed so quickly? Are you giving up your job at the hospital?"

Jiang Yuci looked up at him: "Please invite Buddha to come down from the mountain."

Huo Xingzhou's mind went blank for a moment before he realized who the great Buddha Jiang Yuci was referring to was.

"Didn't we have a falling out back then? She didn't even go to your mother's birthday party last time, did she? I still remember her saying that we'd never see each other again."

"It was she who cut ties with him until his death, not me. Although I am her son, I have never approved of her actions."

Jiang Yu stood up. "I have to go back."

"Why are you back so early? You don't even have a girlfriend."

Jiang Yu resigned: "......"

He gave Huo Xingzhou a warning look.

Huo Xingzhou smiled and said, "Sigh, don't be sad. If you're sad, I'll be sad too."

Jiang Yu ignored him, took her car keys and left, taking the case files with her before she left.

After leaving the law firm, I made a phone call to the restaurant.

"...Everything you mentioned has been arranged," the person on the other end said.

"Is anyone here?"

"They've arrived and are still eating. Would you like me to transfer you to another call?"

"Thank you, but no need." Jiang Yuci was about to hang up the phone.

The person across the street greeted, "I had dinner with the elderly yesterday, and they were talking about you."

"Are you thinking about me? Or are you thinking about Jiang Yanhui?"

"Yes, we have both, but you know how temperamental the young master is, he's a bit too much. If you could help put in a good word and ask him to come and see the old man..."

Jiang Yuci let out a sigh of relief: "I will talk to him, and then we will go to visit Grandpa together."

The person on the other end seemed surprised that Jiang Yuci would agree: "This, this is wonderful."

Jiang Yuci added, "Don't tell him yet, wait for my call."

"That's great, Old Jiang will be very happy to know."

“I also have something to say to Grandpa. Why don’t you try to gauge his reaction first? It’s about my teacher’s case recently.”

The person on the other end hesitated: "Well, Elder Jiang has heard about this too. He said back then that it's not worth it for someone who's already dead..."

Jiang Yuci pressed his fingertips until they turned white: "You should mention to him more often about the friendship between the two of you back then."

"If I get the chance, I definitely will."

Just as Jiang Yuci was about to hang up, the person on the other end asked again, "Who is that lady?"

He should have kept quiet, because once he asked, the carefree words of the young girl popped into Jiang Yuci's head again.

"A woman with a fickle mind."

"..."

It was Ruan Li's first time eating at this restaurant, and she was led into a private room.

From the outside, it looks no different from an ordinary restaurant, but once you step inside, you can feel the difference.

After walking through the lobby, which was decorated entirely in a Chinese style with carved beams and painted rafters, we finally arrived at a private room after passing through several long corridors.

"this way please."

Ruan Li nodded politely and exchanged a glance with the person who had been leading her.

Her first instinct was that this person was not an ordinary service staff member.

The man's gaze towards her was not malicious; it was more like the loving affection of an elder towards a younger generation.

"Thank you," Ruan Li said, making a point of thanking him before entering the private room.

Enjoy your meal.

"Thank you." Ruan Li felt a little awkward.

The man seemed to have noticed this as well, and didn't linger.

In the private reception room, the person who had just escorted Ruan Li carefully closed the door and looked at the elderly man at the table above.

The old man wore a pair of old-fashioned glasses on his nose, and every strand of his half-white hair was neatly combed back. He wore a well-tailored suit of excellent quality, giving him a powerful and authoritative presence.

"He's here to eat?"

"It's a young girl."

"Young lady?" The old man paused, his chopsticks still in his hand. "What's your relationship?"

"I don't know, but he personally delivered it to the door."

"You've seen it? How was it?"

"Well-behaved, very polite." Manager Tang walked over to Jiang Yuecheng, poured him tea, and said slowly, "Sir, would you like to take a look?"

"I know without even looking," Jiang Yuecheng chuckled. "I knew it the last time he came to me asking for my help."

Manager Tang fell silent. Although Jiang Yu had asked him for help last time, it seemed there was no need to ask. This man had been quite straightforward back then, telling him to go find his father.

"What did he send you to tell me this time?"

"You noticed, he did call me privately this time, it was about his teacher..."

"He said he would bring Young Master Yan to visit you next time."

"It's only at times like this that you think of me."

Jiang Yuecheng put down his chopsticks, his meal unpleasant. "He still cares about what happened back then."

Manager Tang remained silent.

After Ruan Li finished her meal, someone escorted her out and gave her a gift.

Ruan Li was flattered and accepted the offer.

"Inside are some small snacks that we made separately, please have a taste."

Ruan Li listened to her deliberately emphasizing the two words.

With a half-understanding, he asked, "Was this made especially for me?"

This restaurant really knows how to treat its guests; they even prepare gifts for each guest individually.

"Yes, just so you can have a taste."

Ruan Li said thank you twice, then left the restaurant carrying an exquisitely crafted dark gold printed gift bag.

After rounding a rockery, Manager Tang stood steadily behind Old Jiang.

"You're quite clever; you know how to treat a young girl individually on her first visit."

Manager Tang felt helpless, thinking to himself, "Wasn't it because he noticed that I cared about her and mentioned the girl several times at the dinner table that he specially ordered someone to make some snacks and send them over?"

"Sir, what do you think?"

The old man shook his head: "Too young."
