Zhao Xiaohui's first feeling about the woman in front of her was very good.

Wearing well-tailored business attire and delicate light makeup, she looked like an elite in the workplace.

She stood at the table for three people, keeping a distance that was neither too far nor too close, and there was no sense of oppression.

However, her words "Zhou Cheng..." were really ambiguous, which made Zhao Xiaohui's heart tighten all of a sudden, and she was half awake from the wine she drank.

"It's Senior Manli!" Lu Zhoucheng didn't respond, or he deliberately didn't react. However, Huo Ruixing, who was opposite, recognized the woman and exclaimed.

"Ruixing, long time no see, hello..." The woman was recognized by Huo Ruixing and was in a good mood. She took the initiative to say hello to him, "I just saw a man who looked like Zhou Cheng at the bathroom door, but I wasn't sure, so I followed him. Look, I didn’t expect it was really you.”

Huo Ruixing quickly stood up and exchanged greetings with Gu Manli.

"Senior Manli, haven't you been abroad? Now...are you back to China?" Huo Ruixing asked.

She is now wearing professional attire, and it is obvious that she came here to eat with colleagues and friends after get off work.

Gu Manli nodded: "Yes, I came back some time ago. After thinking about it, I still think my hometown is the best, and the people here...are also good..."

After Gu Manli said this, she looked meaningfully at the man who lowered his head and said nothing.

"You can come back, which is a huge loss for foreign companies..." Huo Ruixing's words did not sound like a compliment. Zhao Xiaohui could feel that the woman in front of him was a very capable person.

"Ruixing, please stop flattering me," Gu Manli kept the smile on her face. She glanced at Zhao Xiaohui and asked Huo Ruixing: "This is..."

"This is a client of my senior brother and I. We just finished the lawsuit today and came out to celebrate with a drink." Huo Ruixing gave a brief introduction.

Normally, in this situation, Zhao Xiaohui and Gu Manli would just nod and exchange greetings, and forget it. After all, they had absolutely nothing to do with each other.

But a woman's sixth sense is an indescribable but magical existence. Zhao Xiaohui feels that this Gu Manli will not let it go easily.

Sure enough, after Huo Ruixing finished his introduction, the two nodded to each other.

At this time, Gu Manli introduced herself to Zhao Xiaohui: "Gu Manli is Zhou Cheng's classmate and Ruixing's senior."

Zhao Xiaohui nodded. It turned out that the three of them were from the same school.

"Zhao Xiaohui." Zhao Xiaohui briefly introduced her name and didn't know what to say.

When facing a stranger, there seems to be no point in making too many introductions.

"I heard a long time ago that Zhou Cheng no longer does anything related to his profession. I didn't expect that he would help Miss Zhao with a lawsuit... I wonder what the lawsuit is?" Gu Manli was about to chat with Zhao Xiaohui.

Zhao Xiaohui was a little embarrassed and said that she was involved in a divorce lawsuit and seemed a little embarrassed.

"There is no need to know things that have nothing to do with you." The man who had lowered his head and remained silent suddenly said something quietly.

Gu Manli's face felt awkward. What Lu Zhoucheng said seemed rude to her.

"Does Miss Zhao also like this store?" Gu Manli changed the subject and asked again.

Zhao Xiaohui was a little stunned because she didn't expect Gu Manli's topic to change so quickly.

After realizing it, she nodded: "Yes, this store is pretty good."

"Yes, I also like this store very much. I have been here several times since returning to China..." Gu Manli started to promote the store at this time, and she seemed to casually mention: "This store has already It has been open for many years, and Zhou Cheng and I used to come here often to eat when we were still in school."

"I didn't expect that after so many years, he still likes it here. I actually met him here today..."

Zhao Xiaohui seemed to hear a thump in her heart, but she couldn't describe what she felt.

Huo Ruixing had said before that this restaurant was recommended by Lu Zhoucheng, who often came here to eat with his ex-girlfriend.

Now it seems that the "Lu Zhoucheng's ex-girlfriend" Huo Ruixing mentioned before is the woman in front of him.

"Do you have anything else? If not, shall we continue?" Lu Zhoucheng said lightly at this time.

Although he didn't even raise his head, everyone knew that he was speaking to Gu Manli.

Gu Manli's face turned red and white again. After all, Lu Zhoucheng's tone was not very friendly.

"Zhou Cheng, of course I still have something to say, but I can only say this to you alone. Would you like to come out with me for a while?" Gu Manli looked at Lu Zhoucheng's side face with a hint of pleading in her tone.
