After the betrothal gift negotiation collapsed, I turned around and married a wealthy man.

The other end was obviously surprised, "You actually called me. The sun is out in the west. Are you looking for me for something?"

"That senior, I remember you are a lawyer, right?" Qiao Xing asked uncertainly.

Lu Yan smiled and said, "Yes, what's the matter? Do you have any disputes that you need my help with?"

"Well, I just want to ask you. When are you free? I want to meet and chat with you."

"Is it okay at night? I happen to be free at night."

Qiao Xing thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "Well, okay, I'll send you the address later."

"Okay, see you later."

Qiao Xing hung up the phone, walked to the sink and washed her face. She looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly felt disgusted.

I hate that I am blind, I hate that I will be deceived by the scumbag's small favors.

She took out 20 without hesitation, but she didn't expect that Lin Yu would press on her step by step because of the 20, exposing his ugly face.

When it was almost time to get off work, Qiao Xing sent Qin Ce a WeChat message: I have something to do tonight and I don’t have time to go back to cook. You and Grandpa Qin can eat some by yourself.

This message was sent but fell into disarray. Qin Ce did not reply to her, and Qiao Xing ignored it. She packed her things and left work.

Qin Ce had just finished his work. He took out his mobile phone and saw the message from Qiao Xing.

What are you doing tonight?

He glanced casually, picked up his coat and walked out.

She sent the message at five o'clock, and it was already past seven o'clock now. He drove back at eight or nine o'clock, and she was probably home too, so there was no need to go back.

He drove home and when he passed the traffic light of a commercial street, he inadvertently turned his head and saw Qiao Xing in the cafe opposite.

Qiao Xing and a man.

The two of them were sitting face to face, and they didn't know what they were talking about. When Qiao Xing looked at the man, was she still smiling at him?

Is this what she was talking about?

Qin Ce couldn't say what he was feeling when he saw this scene, he was just a little irritated inexplicably. Regardless of whether they had feelings for each other, they had received the certificate anyway, and she was his wife in name.

First, she was entangled with her ex-boyfriend, and now she appears in a cafe with another man late at night. Do you really think that her husband is just a decoration?

While Qin Ce was still staring at the figure, an urging horn sounded from behind. He looked away and stepped on the accelerator with a sullen face.

In the cafe, Qiao Xing collected all the information and handed it to Lu Yan across from him.

"Thank you so much, senior."

Lu Yan smiled and shook his head, "You're welcome. Even if we don't know each other, if you find me, I will help you."

Lu Yan was wearing a suit and had a gentle smile on his face, looking gentle and elegant.

Qiao Xing and Lu Yan were actually not very close. When she was in college, her roommate took her to a party. It happened that the roommate's boyfriend was from the University of Political Science and Law next door, and Lu Yan was also roommate with them.

It's just that at that time, Qiao Xing was not very good at dressing up and had no money to dress up. All she wore were street stall goods worth tens of yuan. The four roommates who went there all looked at each other.

They just put the fruit plate with Qiao Xing and Lu Yan, and then everyone asked them to join in. In order to ease the embarrassment, the two added WeChat and phone calls, and they never talked much, except for occasionally giving each other likes on each other's WeChat Moments. .

They met once, and then Lu Yan and the others met again when they graduated. After that, Lu Yan went into social work, and the interactions became even less.

After returning to his thoughts, Qiao Xing also smiled and said, "I still have to thank you."

"You have preserved all the evidence. Don't worry, even if we go to court, you will definitely win."

When Lu Yan said this, he looked at the information in his hand again, "It's just that I didn't expect you to be so well prepared, even keeping the invoices for buying gifts."

Qiao Xing tucked the broken hair behind her ears and smiled sheepishly, "Thanks to senior, don't you often share some cases and legal knowledge in your circle of friends? I watch it every time, and it really benefits me. A lot."

Lu Yan was surprised at first, then couldn't help but laugh, "I thought you just liked it casually, but you actually read it."

"Of course, I might use it one day. I didn't expect it to be used."

The smile on Lu Yan's face grew stronger. He put the information away and said, "Well, it seems that those in my circle of friends have no gray hair, and it's getting late. I'll take you back."

"Thank you, senior."

"You're always so polite." Lu Yan smiled helplessly.

Lu Yan drove her back in the car. Because the road was quite far, the atmosphere between the two of them was a bit awkward while sitting in the car. Lu Yan would find some topics to talk about from time to time, and the two of them became familiar with each other as they chatted.

"By the way, Feng Jiao is getting married next month, did you know?"

Feng Jiao was the director of Qiao Xing University and the one who introduced her to Lu Yan. Feng Jiao was very kind to Qiao Xing and the others when they were in school, and Qiao Xing also received her attention.

"I don't know. We haven't had much contact since graduation. It was with the original one..." Qiao Xing couldn't remember her boyfriend's name for a while.

"No, they have been separated for half a year. This is another one."

Qiao Xing was a little surprised, "Senior, do you even know this?"

"Don't call me senior. It sounds awkward. Just call me by my name. I found out from Huang Heng that Hengzi failed the exam last year. Forget it...don't talk about that."

Although he didn't finish speaking, Qiao Xing roughly guessed something, so she smiled and stopped talking about this topic.

"What about you? When will you get married?"

"Me?" Lu Yan stared at the green light in front of him and smiled, "I don't even have a girlfriend, who am I going to marry?"

"No way? You are so good, why don't you have a girlfriend?"

"I'm too busy with work and don't have time to look for it."

"Oh……"

As the two of them talked, Lu Yan quickly sent her to the gate of the community.

After Qiao Xing got out of the car, she waved to him and thanked him, "Thank you, senior, for sending me back. I'll treat you to dinner when this matter is over."

Lu Yan tilted his head and said with a smile, "Okay, then I will remember this meal."

Qiao Xing couldn't help but laugh.

The interaction between the two happened to be caught by a pair of eyes by the window upstairs. Qin Ce sneered and turned back to the sofa.

As soon as Qiao Xing entered the door, she saw the man sitting on the sofa with his arms folded and looking at her expressionlessly.

She noticed that the atmosphere was a little subtle, and she felt as if she had been caught by her grandmother when she came home late when she was a child.

However, the aura exuding from Qin Ce's body was obviously not right.

"You haven't slept yet?" Qiao Xing greeted him politely.

"It's still early, I can't sleep."

Qiao Xing glanced at the clock on the wall subconsciously, "It's almost eleven o'clock, it's still early."

After saying this, she felt something was wrong. She didn't come back until eleven o'clock, which was indeed a bit late.

So was he being sarcastic just now when he said it was early?
