The system is forcing me to do it every day

Chapter 50 The Puppet Girl Xiao Zhengtai's Strategy Manual (3)

The law firm is less than 10 minutes away from home. Xi Shangming usually walks home, and he doesn't seem to like transportation very much. Most of the time he goes to the bathroom to take a shower after returning home.

Xi Ran was wearing a raincoat and rain boots, and carrying a big umbrella. He was fully equipped and came to the office without being hindered by the heavy rain.

This was the first time he had come to Xi Shangming's place to work. After all, children shouldn't come here, and Xi Shangming certainly didn't like it either.

When the front desk lady saw this lovely young Mrs. Xi, she couldn't hide her surprise at all, especially when she heard him say that he was the younger brother of Lawyer Xi, she couldn't believe it, and couldn't help sighing in a low voice: "This family Their genes are too heaven-defying, everyone is expected to be a big star..."

She smiled politely and said, "Lawyer Xi is talking with the client. It should be ready soon. You can sit down in the chair next to you and wait."

Xi Ran nodded, and after thanking him, he sat quietly on the side. The front desk lady was very impressed by his good tutor, and he really deserved to be the younger brother of Barrister Xi.

Sure enough, within 10 minutes, a middle-aged lady with exquisite makeup came out of the door. Although she was trying to restrain herself, she could still see that she was in a bad mood.

The lady walked out aggressively, behind him was the calm and gentle Xi Shangming, the two formed a stark contrast, Xi Ran noticed him at a glance, and greeted him with a happy face.

But before she got close to Xi Shangming, she was blocked by that noble lady. When she saw the child, she seemed to be stimulated by electricity, and suddenly became a little hysterical. She looked grim: "Why are there children here? ?! Is your firm so casual?! You’ve been provided with photos and there’s no evidence! That’s what you did?! I really doubt that your reputation is all spent on money, it’s ridiculous!”

This noble lady wanted to sue her husband for cheating, and wanted him to leave the house. Now Xiaosan was pregnant, and she used all kinds of ugly words to stimulate her, saying that an old hen that can't lay eggs has the ability to tie her husband.

The lady was already very concerned about her infertility, but now she lost control of her emotions. Seeing a little boy with a bright smile was simply a great irony, so she raised her hand impulsively and slapped Xi Ran hard on the face.The loud sound shocked everyone present, staring at the lady who lost her composure with wide eyes in disbelief.

The little boy stood there in a daze, his little face turned to one side by the slap, his white and tender skin soon turned red, and the red five finger marks were very dazzling, making him look extremely pitiful.

Xi Shangming's face darkened, and he quickly stood in front of Xi Ran, his usually calm and gentle voice was filled with obvious anger, and he said sharply: "Mrs. Chen, is it your quality to vent your anger on a child? !"

The lady came back to her senses, her face became extremely embarrassed and ugly, but she couldn't hold back her face, she just snorted coldly: "When you come here, the guests will inevitably be in a bad mood. Isn't it also your responsibility to put a child here? ?”

This is true, but it seems that the fault is all on the innocent child who was beaten.

The lady at the front desk instantly showed contempt for the local tyrant and bully. She felt that the other party's face at the moment was very annoying. Every time she met this kind of customer, she wanted to refuse to accept it. Unfortunately, such people are often important customers, and she is not qualified say something.This time, however, it was rare to see Lawyer Xi's angry side, which was much more lively than the usual robot-like appearance, and his inner favorability bar soared even more.

Xi Shangming sneered, obviously couldn't bear what she did, and said indifferently: "There are children in our office, at most it can only be said that the working atmosphere has been affected; and if you hit my brother, you violated the "Public Security Management Punishment Law" Article 40 of No.[-] stipulates that intentionally injuring another person shall be detained for no more than [-] days, and beating a child under the age of [-] shall be punished even more severely.”

The lady flushed with anger and was very embarrassed, "Is this how you show off your legal knowledge? Do you think I will really be detained just because of such a child?!"

After she growled angrily, she turned around and left with her sleeves on her high heels.

However, Xi Shangming said indifferently behind her - "I don't think I have the qualifications to file a lawsuit for Mrs. Chen, please ask someone else."

The lady who came to the door paused, straightened her back, and walked out arrogantly, as if she had never heard of it.

The perpetrator left, leaving only the two brothers staring at each other. Xi Shangming remained expressionless, and his tone was a bit harsh: "It's raining so hard, why don't you stay at home, what are you doing here?"

Xi Ran opened his black and watery eyes wide, pretending to be wronged and touched the red side of his face, "Brother, I hurt..."

The lady at the front desk couldn't help but interrupted, pointing to the black umbrella by the door and said, "Lawyer Xi, your younger brother brought you an umbrella. I'm so young and sensible, so I'm worried that you'll get sick from the rain."

Xi Ran immediately looked obedient, lowering his head as if a little scared, only dared to sneak a glance at him from the corner of his eye.

After a while, Xi Shangming frowned slightly, sighed helplessly, raised his hand and rubbed the top of his hair, and only uttered one word: "Stupid."

Xi Ran looked up in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that his brother would say such directly hurtful words.

The lady at the front desk tightly covered her mouth, thinking that the two brothers could no longer love each other!

After Xi Shangming finished speaking, he coughed a little uncomfortable, pulled his younger brother up and walked to the office, his usual calm and self-possessed posture was a little embarrassed.

He let Xi Ran sit on the sofa, turned around and went to get the medical ice pack from the small refrigerator. When he stood in front of Xi Ran, he saw the red and swollen skin at a close distance, and felt very dazzling. He couldn't help frowning, bending Waist put the ice pack on his face lightly, and whispered: "Next time you see a neuropathy, stay away."

That serious tone seemed to be reading some rules and regulations, rather than a deadpan tongue.

Xi Ran couldn't help grinning, immediately involved the sore spot on his cheek, and froze immediately, looking very happy.

He slowly closed his mouth, and resentfully said almost like lip-smacking: "Brother, can you stop making me laugh?"

Xi Shangming's face was still paralyzed, but his eyes were stained with a smile, and he said solemnly: "You want to laugh, how can you blame me?"

Seeing him baring his teeth, Xi Shangming felt a little funny, "Okay, hold the ice bag and stop talking, just wait here for me, and we'll go home right away."

"it is good."

Xi Ran nodded, and sat there quietly in a daze, and found that today's accident was quite good, and felt that her favorability had increased a lot.

After Xi Shangming took the briefcase, he took Xi Ran's hand and walked out of the office.He hesitated, lowered his head and asked, "Xi Ran, do you want to eat outside?"

Xi Ran's eyes lit up immediately: "Okay! I want to eat spicy hot pot!"

Xi Shangming: "...No. You can't eat spicy food these days, only clear soup pot."

"Hey...then let's go back and eat."

Seeing the pitiful expression on his slumped face, Xi Shangming couldn't help but laugh, and pulled him to the other side, "I know a restaurant that is delicious, and the taste is relatively light, let's go there."

"Okay." Xi Ran followed his steps.After a while, Xi Shangming turned his head to look at him, slowed down his speed, and followed Xi Ran's pace.

***

Although Xi Ran is mentally old, he is not too awkward among the children, he just treats them as his little nephews and nieces.

Their class teachers arrange seats according to their academic performance, and make progress together in a complementary way.

Xi Ran is the first in mathematics with a girl who is good at English at the same table, Lu Xiaoyu. She is a straightforward and straightforward woman with a particularly low smile.

It's like today, when you obviously have a cold and your throat is uncomfortable, you can still laugh non-stop because of Xi Ran's random words, coughing and laughing at the same time, without delay.

"If you're not feeling well, just be quiet, don't talk like that."

Xi Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he turned his head and picked up the water glass at the corner of the table, and drank some warm water.Turning around, I saw that funny woman staring at him with narrow eyes, "What's wrong?"

Lu Xiaoyu was surprised: "Isn't this my kettle?!"

A flash came to Xi Ran's mind, and he understood something instantly. The corner of his mouth twitched: "Didn't you say it last time? I put it in this position, so don't take it wrong again."

Lu Xiaoyu scratched her hair to remember, coughed twice, and smiled dryly: "Okay, it seems to be..." Then he patted Xi Ran on the shoulder proudly, and said, "It's okay! You are a boy with good resistance Very, it won't be so easy to be infected by me..."

Before the words finished, Xi Ran lowered his head and sneezed.

Lu Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then turned around immediately, with an expression of "I didn't see anything", then covered her mouth and laughed, unable to stop.

There were no symptoms at school, but after returning home, Xi Ran found that he had such a good character that he won the lottery right away, his whole body began to feel hot, his head was heavy, and his consciousness was a little blurred.

He wandered back to his room, changed his clothes, and lay down casually on the bed, closing his eyes and curling up into a ball.

After an unknown amount of time, the ringing of the cell phone next to his pillow woke him up. With his eyes closed, he lazily reached for it, and his voice was very hoarse: "Hello..."

"Xi Ran, have you finished your math homework? I can't hold it back at all! Let me learn from it tomorrow...Hey, wait, why is your voice so hot and thick? Could it be that I was really infected by it? Bar?"

The voice over there was bluffing, irritating his eardrums as if they were a little swollen, so he immediately took the phone away.

With a low voice, Xi Ran said without energy: "Maybe, I shouldn't go to school tomorrow, please help me ask the teacher for a leave."

Lu Xiaoyu over there paused for a moment, then burst out laughing suddenly, and slapped her thigh hard, "Ha! Hahaha! I'm cured, but you're sicker than me! It's so funny!"

After laughing for nearly a minute, she slowly calmed down, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, patted her chest and responded boldly: "It's okay, leave it to me!"

Xi Ran thanked him with black lines, and immediately hung up the phone very simply, as if there was a ghost chasing after him.

Then, he turned over and continued to fall asleep.It wasn't until dusk and the street lights on the street were turned on that he was woken up by the faint sound of talking and playing downstairs.

He got up slowly, held his throat and coughed lightly twice. It was so painful and his face was a little hot, so he wanted to go downstairs to drink water and find an anti-fever medicine by the way.

But when he rubbed his eyes and went downstairs, he was suddenly startled by a sudden exclamation, froze suddenly, and looked downstairs blankly.

The living room was uncharacteristically lively, gathered nearly ten professional men and women in suits and leather shoes, all of them looked up at him curiously, with burning eyes.

Today, someone suddenly took the lead in making a fuss, saying that they were going to play at Xi Shangming's house, to inquire about the enemy of the female killer, and see if the house was just like an ordinary man's, messy, with socks thrown around.

Xi Shangming couldn't resist so many people, so he had no choice but to silently agree in the end.

The first person who noticed Xi Ran just now was a tall woman with neat short haircut, light makeup, and an indescribable charm in her self-confidence.This is obviously the heroine - Ning Ya-jun.There is obvious love in the eyes looking at Xi Shangming.

"Senior Xi, is this your sister? She's so cute."

The front desk lady who had seen Xi Ran before tilted her head in confusion: "But...doesn't Lawyer Xi have a younger brother? Could it be twins?"

In fact, it's no wonder they all misidentified Xi Ran's gender.This young lady's body was originally slender, and she looked quite weak. In addition, her skin was fair and smooth, and the two faint blushes that appeared on her face after illness added a bit of weakness and shyness.The black and white cow nightdress on him made him so cute!

Xi Ran stayed for two seconds, and immediately looked for his brother in the crowd, his lips were tightly pursed, as if he was trying to resist the fear and nervousness of facing a group of strangers.

Seeing Xi Shangming coming out of the crowd, he immediately ran towards his brother with his short legs, grabbed his brother's clothes with his little hand, and refused to let go no matter what he said.

Everyone couldn't help but shouted cute.

Xi Shangming remained calm, moved his footsteps to the side, and blocked Xi Ran firmly behind him.

This made the colleagues who came here to dig out gossip unhappy, and complained that Xi Shangming, you are a sister control, and you don't even give it a glance!

Xi Shangming's expression remained unchanged, and he gave full play to his eloquence in the court, and confuse this matter with Tai Chi.

Colleagues unconsciously made up a series of dog-blooded half-sisters and other dog-blooded eight o'clock TV drama plots.

Everyone gathered in the living room. They thought they could have a meal cooked by Xi Shangming himself, but they didn't expect him to say that he couldn't cook it. Disappointed, they had to order takeaway.

The other colleagues were eating and chatting enthusiastically.Xi Shangming looked down at Xi Ran and asked seriously, "Have you eaten yet?"

Xi Ran shook his head.

The colleague next to me saw it, and came over with a smile and said, "Sister, do you want fried chicken legs?"

Xi Ran stared at the fried chicken leg in front of him, nodded repeatedly, but before he took it, he was blocked by a slender arm.

"No eating."

The colleague shook his head: "Xi Shangming, are you too strict? It's just a fried chicken leg."

Xi Shangming didn't answer, but turned his head to look at Xi Ran, frowned slightly, touched his forehead, and reproached lightly: "Why don't you tell me you have a fever?"

Xi Ran opened his mouth slightly, blinked his eyes twice: "Ah, I forgot... I came down to find medicine."

Xi Shangming pursed his lips with a serious face: "Go back to your room first, and I'll cook some porridge for you."

"Oh." Xi Ran nodded, turned around and went upstairs obediently.

Seeing the back of Xi Shangming walking into the kitchen, the colleague couldn't help feeling: "Xi Shangming and his sister have such a good relationship."
