The rain came suddenly, falling to the ground in a thin gush without any hesitation, and completely ignored the people who went out without rain gear.

A gust of wind blew over, and the raindrops were blown in all directions like threads.For a moment, those holding umbrellas also shrank.

The cold air caused some of the raindrops to turn into small ice crystals in mid-air.With the strong blessing of the wind, it hit the face and stung painfully.

Le Yun's umbrella was losing her temper and refused to open.She tensed her heart and forced it open——

Click!

The umbrella frame was broken.

Le Yun looked at the umbrella with its head hanging down in despair. The leather jacket she was wearing did nothing to stop the biting coldness.The wind mixed with the rain blew over, making her heavy coat become as thin as a pair of stockings.

Le Yun began to regret that she should not have insisted on going to the studio at this time.

Probably God also wanted to agree with her idea.A taxi accelerated wildly when the yellow light began to count down, speeding towards Leyun who was crossing the road, honking its horn frantically.

Le Yun was startled and jumped back hastily——

Swish!

The taxi passed her by, leaving behind a piece of mud as a "memento".

Apart from gritting her teeth and swearing, Le Yun had no choice but to continue to direct her legs to swing, and continued to walk forward in the rain.

Two days ago, Lu Yin just gave her a fully automatic coffee machine and placed it in the studio.She kept picturing a cup of steaming mocha in her mind as her motivation for this moment.

The phone rang suddenly.

With her cold hands trembling slightly, she took out the phone from her bag——

The caller ID on the screen told her that it was a customer calling.

“As long as we sign this client, our studio will be established.”

In her mind, she could see how excited her colleagues were when they said this.

The reason why she was here despite the rain at this moment was precisely because she had an appointment with this important client to meet in the studio.

However, this client was notoriously picky and difficult to maintain.Otherwise, I would not have been blacklisted by major law firms and "reduced" to seeking legal services from a newly established studio like hers.

Le Yun took a deep breath, clicked "Reject", and then threw the phone back angrily.

Immediately, the annoying ringtone came from the bag again, affecting Le Yun's already overloaded nerves, and her heartbeat also became intense, as if it would jump out of her chest in the next second.

Inhale, exhale.

She commands her brain to direct her body.

She tucked her chin in, lowered her head, trying to protect her face from the sleet, and continued walking.

Less than two blocks away from the studio, she seemed to be able to see the lights emanating from the same office building.

Although the wind continued to blow, it changed its direction considerately, went around her back, and pushed her forward.Suddenly, her ankles softened and she stumbled, stepping directly into the most terrifying place on the road in this weather: a puddle mixed with dirt, garbage, and God knows what.

Le Yun stood blankly in the puddle, raising one foot, looking like an elegant flamingo.

It can only last up to 40 seconds.

She forced herself to be calm, calculating in her mind and weighing her options.

People in a hurry walked past her, frowned when they saw the puddle, and walked around.Only those wearing knee-high rain boots were brave enough to step directly through the middle.

However, no well-wisher came to her aid.

Le Yun realized that the diameter of this puddle was not small, and no matter which direction she stepped in, the result would be the same.

Inhale, exhale.

She was ready to face the next cold. She gritted her teeth and lowered the leg she had been lifting——

The cold water poured into the shoes along the ankles.

Her feet were numb from the cold and she almost lost consciousness.

I won't be the first female lawyer in Bincheng to lose her legs due to frostbite.

Le Yun thought to herself.

However, she had no time to mourn the sheepskin ankle boots that died heroically the first time they were worn on the street.Because, just when she "narrowly escaped death" and successfully crossed the road, her phone rang again.

Le Yun's heart beat harder.

She took out her phone again, and there was no suspense. The caller was still the "customer" who made people love and hate her.

If you refuse again, you might really offend someone.

Leyun hesitated and pressed the answer button——

"Lawyer Le, is that you?"

As soon as the call was connected, the other party's arrogant voice came over.

nonsense!Of course it is me!

Le Yun rolled her eyes and thought, the number you dialed is mine, could it be someone else?

Despite what she was thinking, she still said politely and enthusiastically:

"Hello, Mr. Wang, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long. I'm trying my best to hurry up, but the weather outside is very bad now..."

"I don't need to waste time listening to you make excuses." Before she could finish her words, the other party interrupted coldly, "I just want to tell you that no one has ever asked me to wait for so long. I hope you arrive at the studio immediately. .that's all."

Before Le Yun had a chance to explain any more, the call was hung up in a hurry.

Even though her shoes were filled with dirty, cold muddy water, even though the rain had started to freeze and the sidewalk was getting slicker, Le Yun had no other choice and started running.

Raindrops mixed with small ice crystals slapped her face more and more manically. She tried her best to rush across a block.

With only the last block left, Le Yun held her waist, breathing heavily and encouraging herself.At this time, she heard someone calling her name.
