After Bai Yueguang's stand-in is passive and slow to work

Since Jiang Zhiyu returned to China, he would occasionally call Shen Heng twice, so Shen Heng was not surprised when he saw the caller, but just thought it was a coincidence.

He clicked on the connection: "what's the matter?"

"Shen Heng, have you arrived in China yet? I see that your flight has landed, but I haven't seen you come out for a long time." Jiang Zhiyu asked softly on the other end of the phone.

Shen Heng paused for a while in putting the chopsticks, and then asked in doubt: "Are you outside?"

"Well, I'm waiting for you to come out." Jiang Zhiyu seemed to be in a good mood: "It's almost dawn outside, come out, and I'll take you home."

For Jiang Zhiyu knowing that he was returning to China today, Shen Heng didn't show much surprise, he said: "Understood." Then hung up the phone.

There was more than half a bowl of wonton noodles left in front of him, and Shen Heng didn't have any appetite to continue eating, so he put down his chopsticks and took the suitcase to go out.

Except for the airport, Jiang Zhiyu was standing at the door waiting, seeing Shen Heng coming out, his originally serious face suddenly loosened, and he showed a happy smile.

He walked forward quickly, took the initiative to pick up the luggage beside Shen Heng, and wanted to hold Shen Heng with the other hand, but he gently avoided it.

Jiang Zhiyu didn't show any disappointment, he still said softly, "Are you tired?"

"It's okay." Shen Heng replied lightly.

He originally wanted to ask Jiang Zhiyu why he knew he was going back to China today, and even knew the exact flight, but he stopped talking.

"You didn't tell me when you came back to China. If it wasn't for the fact that the hotel you booked was owned by my friend, he called and told me that I didn't know about it." Jiang Zhiyu seemed a little dissatisfied, but he listened carefully. Full of pampering: "But I checked your flight without authorization, I didn't tell you in advance, I'm sorry."

As soon as his apology came out, he received a surprised look from Shen Heng: "Do you still do this kind of thing?"

Jiang Zhiyu changed the subject in embarrassment: "Don't go to the hotel at night, the house has been cleaned regularly, it's very clean."

"And," he said with a smile, "I have prepared a surprise for you."

The two walked to the car, Jiang Zhiyu opened the car door for him, and Shen Heng leaned over and sat in.

"The distance is not close, you can take a rest in the car." Jiang Zhiyu started the car and turned on the light music in the car.

Sitting on the soft car seat, feeling overwhelmed by exhaustion, Shen Heng lowered the seat a little, lay back and rested for a while.

When he opened his eyes again, the scenery outside the car window had changed to the Linjiang street he was familiar with. He straightened the back of the seat and stretched his neck.

"Are you awake?" Jiang Zhiyu drove the car with one hand, and handed over a bottle of water with the other: "Drink some water."

Shen Heng looked at the unfamiliar but familiar scenery outside the car, and took a few sips, "I've been here for a year, and it doesn't seem like much has changed here."

Jiang Zhiyu was stunned for a moment before realizing that Shen Heng was taking the initiative to talk to him, his excited voice trembled a little: "Yeah, it's still the same as when we were here before."

The car drove into the garage of the apartment, Jiang Zhiyu got out of the car and wanted to open the door for Shen Heng, but Shen Heng had already opened the door and came down.

"Let's go." Jiang Zhiyu carried Shen Heng's luggage side by side with him, and they walked towards the elevator together.

After sleeping in the car for a while, Shen Heng was in good spirits, "Ding—" the elevator door opened in response, and he just took a step out when he saw a fluffy snow-white object rushing towards him.

Shen Heng was taken aback, and subconsciously took a step back, his body was embraced from behind: "Don't be afraid." Jiang Zhiyu's voice with a smile rang in his ears.

At the same time, the snow-white object had already rushed in front of him, and threw itself into Shen Heng's arms.

Shen Heng stretched out his hand to catch it, only then did he see clearly that it was a Samoyed with a little red tongue sticking out, having fun crazily.

This Satsuma was as high as his knees, his body was fat, and his weight was not light when he rushed into his arms.

"Your dog?" Shen Heng stroked the soft fur on its head, straightened up, and looked at Jiang Zhiyu in surprise.

"This is…"

"Xiao Heng!" A middle-aged female voice interrupted the conversation between the two, Shen Heng looked forward in shock, Su Yuehua had tears in his eyes, and was walking quickly towards the entrance.

"...Mom?" Shen Heng called her, and Su Yuehua took a step forward to hug her: "Hey, Xiao Heng is finally back."

Shen Heng's nose was sore, he patted Su Yuehua's thin back, and said warmly: "Yes, I'm back."

"I didn't know to tell you in advance when I came back. If Xiao Jiang said that you came back these two days and took me over yesterday, wouldn't you plan to tell me?" Su Yuehua blamed, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden. : "Xiaojiang originally let me rest, but I think you must be tired and hungry after taking such a long flight, so I made some food for you, you wait here, and my mother will bring it to you."

Shen Heng smiled and said, "Okay."

Su Yuehua hurriedly turned around and went to the kitchen, Shen Heng looked at Jiang Zhiyu.

As if knowing what he wanted to say, Jiang Zhiyu nodded: "Yes, this is the surprise I prepared for you."

"Why?" Shen Heng was puzzled.

"When I checked your flight, I saw that you were going back to Hangzhou in the next few days. I was afraid that you would be exhausted, so I brought my aunt and dog here." Jiang Zhiyu glanced at Satsuma who was digging the nest: "Wait for you in the United States." After the study is over, we can bring my aunt to the capital and buy a house near our house, so that you can see each other often."

"..." Shen Heng was a little speechless about his idea.

"Xiaoheng, Xiaojiang, why are you still standing at the door, come over to eat soon." Su Yuehua came out with two bowls of mixed Sichuan, and greeted the two of them.

Shen Heng agreed, and walked towards the living room, Jiang Zhiyu also walked by his side.

"Is it delicious?" Su Yuehua looked expectantly.

Shen Heng nodded, and said very flatteringly: "It's delicious, especially delicious. I've been thinking about this taste for a long time abroad, but I just couldn't get it. Today I finally got it."

Jiang Zhiyu also echoed: "Auntie's craftsmanship is really good."

Su Yuehua smiled openly, her eyes couldn't stop looking at Shen Heng, and she said distressedly: "Xiao Heng, you've lost some weight."

"No." Shen Heng raised his head and smiled at her: "I lived pretty well there, and I didn't lose weight at all."

"Yes, Auntie." Jiang Zhiyu helped Shen Heng and said, "I will help you look after him in the United States. Shen Heng eats well every day and is very good." He paused, and then said: "But Shen Heng is too skinny, I will try to make him fatter next time."

What he said was a little ambiguous, Su Yuehua nodded: "Well, that's right."

Shen Heng lowered his head to eat the noodles and didn't answer any more.

Because of Shen Heng's return, Su Yuehua almost didn't sleep all night. After watching the two of them finish their meal, they couldn't stand it any longer, and went upstairs to the guest room to rest.

"Go to bed too." Jiang Zhiyu patted Shen Heng on the shoulder: "Take a bath first, but don't soak for too long."

Seeing Shen Heng standing still, Jiang Zhiyu glanced at him and suddenly smiled: "Are you waiting for me to go up together?"

Shen Heng stared at him with complicated eyes: "What do you mean by taking my mother over? Are you threatening me?"

Jiang Zhiyu was taken aback by what he said, and then said a little hurt, "Do you think of me that way in your heart?"

Shen Heng didn't speak, just looked at him fixedly.

"Okay, I admit it." Jiang Zhiyu looked at him for a while, and finally walked in front of Shen Heng, and said seriously: "I do have selfish intentions, I want to see you every day, and I don't want you to go back to Hangzhou. That's why I brought my aunt over to reunite with you."

"What else?" Shen Heng asked.

"It's really gone." Jiang Zhiyu lowered his voice: "Shen Heng, you believe me, what I did before will never happen again, and I just want to see you more and be with you Together."

"I'm sorry for your trouble." After hearing this, Shen Heng chuckled, turned around without pausing, picked up the suitcase and went upstairs.

Jiang Zhiyu stood there, looking at Shen Heng's back, and suddenly realized that he had been rejected by this indifferent back for almost two years.

The puppy was still running around, paws making a rattling sound on the wooden floor, which was a bit noisy.Jiang Zhiyu unpacked a bag of dog snacks for it and threw it into the nest, and it returned to the nest honestly.

...

Early the next morning, Shen Heng returned to the law firm before the door opened.

There were two newcomers at the front desk, and they thought this overly eye-catching handsome man was here to discuss the case, but just as he stopped him to ask if he had an appointment, Xiaoxue's unbelievable voice sounded next to him: "Lawyer Shen?!"

"Xiaoxue, long time no see." Shen Heng turned his head and smiled at her.

Xiaoxue wore a formal suit jacket and a ponytail. She looked more mature, but when she said it, she was still in the original cheerful tone: "Didn't you go to the United States to study? You came back early!"

She explained to the front desk before entering the law firm with Shen Heng: "I should call you Lawyer Shen now! Long time no see!"

Shen Heng probably guessed it when he saw her, and he said softly: "Have you become a trainee lawyer?"

"Yeah!" Xiaoxue's eyes were a little excited: "If it weren't for the materials and answering skills you compiled for me in the later stage, I would be a little confused. I don't have the qualifications to be a lawyer here, but Qin Lu said that I can stay. Try it, I'm preparing for the practice license interview now."

"Congratulations." Shen Heng congratulated from the heart.

"Hey, it's because you've made more contributions, and I still owe you a big favor!" Xiaoxue said with a smile, "By the way, are you coming back to work?"

"No, the United States is not over yet, I just come back to appear in court, and I have to go back after the lawsuit is over." Shen Heng explained.

The smile on Xiaoxue's face froze. The whole law firm had heard about Qin Shuyi acting as Shen Heng's attorney, but no one would mention it.

When Shen Heng said this, she naturally thought of the reason why Shen Heng went abroad suddenly.

"Is Qin Lv there?" Shen Heng noticed Xiaoxue's face, and asked proactively.

"Yes, it's in the office, just go straight there." Xiaoxue came back to her senses and winked at him: "Don't worry Shen Lu, you will win this lawsuit."

"Thank you." Shen Heng also laughed easily.

Qin Shuyi had just arrived at the law firm, and was a little surprised to see Shen Heng coming so early. While the two were shaking hands, he patted Shen Heng on the back: "You seem to be in good spirits."

"You too." Shen Heng smiled.

The two sat down at the desk, Qin Shuyi opened the drawer, and gave Shen Heng a stack of thick documents.

These documents are all about his defamation case.

While Shen Heng was flipping through the pages, Qin Shuyi explained beside him: "I have directly refused the pre-litigation mediation for you. When the time comes, you only need to appear in court, and I will handle the rest."

Most of these documents, Shen Heng, have read the electronic version, and now he reads it again, and it will be finished soon.He nodded: "OK."

The two sat down and chatted about the details. Before leaving, Qin Shuyi asked him to take a good rest for the past two days due to jet lag. Shen Heng nodded and agreed. He had indeed suffered from insomnia in the past two nights, and he had to rely on medication to fall asleep.

Before Shen Heng left the law firm, he bumped into He Yue who was hurrying over while stepping on the spot to go to work.

The two almost bumped into each other, He Yue just hurriedly said "Sorry," and when he raised his eyes, he saw Shen Heng who was looking at him with a smile.

He stood there in a daze for a moment, thinking that he was hallucinating, and then he acted as if he had come to his senses, and repeatedly asked: "Heng, wait, I'll go get a work card first!!"

Shen Heng was waiting for him at the door of the law firm. After He Yue punched his card, he ran all the way to the door. He first gave Shen Heng a big hug, patted him on the back hard, and then let go: "Finally willing to come back Ah! When did you come? Don’t tell me, are you going back?”

Shen Heng also laughed along with him from the bottom of his heart: "Well, after meeting Qin Lv just now, I ran into you just as I was about to leave, why did you come so late?"

"Hey, stop talking, the alarm clock didn't go off in the morning, if it wasn't for my perverted biological clock to wake me up, I would have to be late today, and my salary would be deducted 200 yuan."

"By the way, why are you in such a hurry to leave, why don't you stay? Have a meal at noon, don't you miss me after such a long time?" He Yue put his shoulders on his shoulders and urged: "There are several restaurants downstairs , now this taste is not bad, let's have a meal, how about talking about old times?"

"You still have to go to work, let's get together on the weekend. I have nothing to do at the law firm, so it's embarrassing to wait." Shen Heng patted He Yue's arm: "It's just right, I finished my lawsuit on the weekend."

He Yue thought for a while: "It's fine, you can do your work first."
