Four Seasons Three Meals

Chapter 18 Bitter Coffee

Jiang Huai went to work the next day, and his senior sister introduced him to a big client.

It is said that they came from Huaigang, the client was a daughter, and the fiancé was a second-generation rich man, who refused to accept anyone, so he decided to come for a pre-marital notarization.

Jiang Huai was curious, and asked his senior sister, "Why didn't you find a lawyer in Huaigang and come all the way to Jiangcheng?"

The senior sister said: "The upper class is a circle, there are too many acquaintances, it is too embarrassing to be known by others."

Jiang Huai said with emotion: "Bread and roses are eternal problems for human beings."

The senior sister smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't say that, bread and roses can have both, and I'm still waiting for you to marry into a wealthy family."

Jiang Huai smiled: "I only know clients with a beer belly, big gold teeth, and I like beauties with big breasts and upturned butts."

The senior sister said, "Didn't Shang Chen know a lot of rich people? Wasn't he the one who introduced your boyfriend? How about it, is he rich?"

Jiang Huai wanted to say "my boyfriend is just a Chinese medicine practitioner", but when he thought about the Xuantong bell in Huichun Hall, he closed his mouth guiltily.

The senior sister chatted with him a few more words, Jiang Huai packed up his things, and drove the law firm's car to the appointment.

The other party is far away in a high-end coffee shop, the price is directly proportional to the privacy, and there are only private boxes.

Jiang Huai said "Miss Cheng" to the front desk, and the waiter checked the information and led him there.

The senior sister sent him a message asking him "Are you there?" He was about to reply when he heard an all-too-familiar voice.

"Jiang Huai?"

Jiang Huai looked up, it was Qin Shi.

He hadn't seen him for a long time.

Qin Shi said nonchalantly, "I didn't expect you to be the person sent by the law firm."

Jiang Huai said: "I didn't expect Miss Cheng's fiancé to be you."

Qin Shi said, "Come in and sit down and talk."

Jiang Huai walked in and sat opposite him.

The waiter handed over the menu, and Qin Shi asked Jiang Huai, "What do you want to drink?"

The menu was written in Italian, Jiang Huai didn't know it, so he pointed to the most expensive one.

The waiter should say yes, Qin Shi interjected, "Give him another drink, this is too bitter."

Jiang Huai declined: "It's okay, this is fine."

Qin Shi didn't insist, and ordered the same cup as him, and his tongue sound was beautiful.

The waiter went to place an order, and soon came over with two cups of steaming coffee and a small basket of pastries.

Qin Shi looked at him for a long while and said, "You've been doing well recently."

Without saying a word, Jiang Huai took a cranberry macaron and ate it slowly with coffee.

Qin Shi said: "You seem to be the same as before, but you seem to be a little different."

They've been together since college, have known each other for years, and know each other well.

Qin Shi's question was too profound, and Jiang Huai couldn't help thinking about it.

Qin Shi said, "Jiang Huai, I'm getting married."

Jiang Huai didn't understand why he said that, and politely wished: "I wish you an early birth to a precious son, a happy life together, and a happy marriage for a hundred years."

Qin Shi raised his eyebrows: "I thought you would be jealous?"

Jiang Huai almost choked on the coffee and looked at Qin Shi in horror.

This is the first time for him to look at the person in front of him with the eyes of an outsider, and he feels very strange.

Qin Shi also seemed to have changed a lot, a little less domineering and a little more mature and stable.

Jiang Huai recalled that when he was in college, he was attracted by Qin Shi's rare youthful spirit, and fell in love with him like a moth, and it was out of control.

Jiang Huai thought over and over again, and said, "I won't do such unreasonable things."

Qin Shi smiled, and sat lazily on the back of the chair: "You really haven't changed, you're still so dismissive."

Jiang Huai was puzzled by his description.

Qin Shi said, "Do you know why I married Cheng Yuanyuan?"

Jiang Huai wasn't interested, but the person in front of him was his client, and he couldn't refuse Bai Huahua's money: "Please tell me."

"Because she is more capable of trouble than you," Qin Shi said mercilessly, "she can cry, make trouble, act like a baby and be jealous, and is more human than you."

"You are too stubborn. I kicked you out of the house, and you don't know how to say a good word to beg me."

"Cheng Yuanyuan is stupid, but it's easy to coax. Buying two bags can solve the problem, saving worry and effort."

His words were ugly, Jiang Huai sighed sincerely: "You still haven't changed."

Still such a jerk.

Jiang Huai silently denied the previous conclusion in his heart.

The so-called youthful spirit in Qin Shi is nothing but the arrogance and willfulness of a dude.

He had never seen the world, so he mistakenly took Bai Xu for gold and jade.

Qin Shi was choked by his sudden evaluation and was speechless for a long while.

Satisfied, Jiang Huai tore open a packet of white sugar, poured it into the coffee, stirred it gently with a small silver spoon, forming a small vortex.

The vortex turned and turned, Jiang Huai was distracted, ignored Qin Shi, and became happy again.

They sat in silence for a while, Cheng Yuanyuan came over with a coquettish smile, and kissed Qin Shi sweetly.

Jiang Huai was indifferent, but he was thinking about another thing.

Qin Shi is domineering, Cheng Yuanyuan willful, and Cong Yun is pampered.But whether it's Qin Shi, Cheng Yuanyuan, or Cong Yun, they all have a similar characteristic.

An innate confidence to go smoothly.

This is Jiang Huai's strange world.

The world he is familiar with is a bowl of warm porridge in the morning, a glass of alcohol in the evening, and a crescent moon in the middle of the night.

This world has another name called "Congshan".

Jiang Huai was impatient and desperately wanted to see him.

Jiang Huai listened to them talk about their respective needs, drafted an agreement, and showed them.

Cheng Yuanyuan looked carefully, and Qin Shi said, "I'll take Lawyer Jiang back to the law firm."

Jiang Huai declined: "I drove the car."

Qin Shi didn't insist, Jiang Huai thanked the two, got up and left.

He walked into the hall and heard someone calling him behind him: "Lawyer Jiang?"

Jiang Huai turned his head and found that it was Cong Yue.

Standing next to him was a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears, and a tall and thin man in a suit, who seemed to be the middle-aged man's assistant.

Cong Yue came over: "Lawyer Jiang is here to find elder brother?"

Jiang Huai said vaguely, "It's just work."

Cong Yue said to the middle-aged man, "I just met Mr. Jiang, let me introduce you."

Jiang Huai wanted to leave, raised his wrist to look at his watch, restrained his temper and smiled politely.

"This is President Ma, brother's guest," Cong Yue looked at Jiang Huai, "President Ma, this is lawyer Jiang Huai, brother's pillow."

His tone was ambiguous, and Jiang Huai felt a chill, but Mr. Ma understood what Cong Yue meant.

Mr. Ma's assistant observed his words, handed over a small gift box, opened the lid, and inside was a small round and clear jade pot.

Jiang Huai laughed in his heart, the local rich man is arty, instead of sending gold and silver, he gave wholesale jade pots.

The assistant said: "We're meeting for the first time, and I ask Lawyer Jiang to accept it."

Jiang Huai refused, but Mr. Ma insisted on letting him accept it.

Cong Yue stood aside and watched the show.

Jiang Huai was in a dilemma, and happened to meet Cheng Yuanyuan and Qin Shi walking out of the box.He quickly called out, "Miss Cheng."

"Lawyer Jiang?" Cheng Yuanyuan walked over with Qin Shi on her arm, "Are you still here?"

Jiang Huai said: "Just about to leave, where is Miss Cheng going? I'll see you off."

Cheng Yuanyuan and Qin Shi were together, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Jiang Huai was looking for an excuse to leave.

Mr. Ma couldn't stop him, Jiang Huai followed Cheng Yuanyuan and fled the coffee shop.

Qin Shi squinted at him and asked, "Lawyer Jiang's friend?"

Jiang Huai shook his head and said, "Boyfriend's brother and guest."

Qin Shi snorted softly.

Jiang Huai walked to the car, opened the car, and said goodbye politely: "See you next time."

Cheng Yuanyuan smiled back at him: "Thank you, Lawyer Jiang."

Qin Shi turned his head and left.

In the evening, it was rare for Jiang Huai to get off work on time, Cong Shan didn't drive, and stood at the gate of the law firm waiting for him.

Wearing black clothes and trousers, he stood on the side of the road with his head slightly lowered, as if he was thinking about something.

It was still dark, and the warm orange light shone on him, causing the little girl in the law firm to secretly scream.

Jiang Huai was a little proud, walked over, and naturally took Cong Shan's hand.

"Long wait."

When Cong Shan saw him, he laughed for a moment, and held his hand back: "Soon, I'll just wait for you."

The sky is full of red clouds, the fire clouds are slowly moving, and Jiang Huai's face is also burning, which is the color of happiness.

Side by side, they walked slowly along the road to the subway station.

Jiang Huai told him an interesting story at work. The senior sister picked up a stray cat on the street and kept it secretly in the tea room. When someone scratched its chin, it would meow in comfort.

Cong Shan said: "I also met a kitten today, in the coffee shop."

Jiang Huai was curious and asked him to speak carefully.

"That kitten is very cute and not afraid of people. Someone teased him with a jade pot, but he scratched his paw."

Jiang Huai understood that Cong Shan was talking about him.

He thought to himself, Cong Yue has a big mouth.

He said, "Cong Yue... told you?"

Before Cong Shan could speak, Jiang Huai quickly added, "I'm going to see a client."

Cong Shan didn't deny it, and said, "He also said that you met a butterfly, which has been looking at you."

He was talking about Qin Shi, but Jiang Huai didn't pay attention.

He felt a little guilty: "That's Qin Shi, my... ex-boyfriend-but we are just a pure client relationship now!"

Cong Shan smiled, but said nothing.

After a while, Jiang Huai heard Cong Shan say calmly: "The Qin family is in the securities business, so it's easy to torment them."

Jiang Huai didn't expect him to say such a thing. He stared at him with wide eyes, thinking of Xuan Tongzhong, and felt that he was a hidden rich man who had the confidence to say such a thing.

Jiang Huai suppressed a smile and asked him, "How are you going to torment?"

Cong Shan said: "Capital seeks huge profits, so if you ask two accountants to check the accounts, there will always be loopholes."

Jiang Huai couldn't help but laughed: "Doctor Cong is so childish today."

Cong Shan glanced at him and said nothing.

They passed the corner, Cong Shan suddenly sighed, pulled Jiang Huai gently into his arms.

Unprepared, Jiang Huai staggered and was hugged tightly by Cong Shan.

They hugged each other amidst the crowds of people coming and going, their skins were so close to each other, and they were sweating lightly on the midsummer night.

Cong Shan whispered, "Huaibao, I'm jealous."

Jiang Huai snuggled in his arms and laughed softly.

Cong Shan felt it, and wanted to scratch his creaking hole, but he was not willing, and finally just lowered his head and kissed the tip of his ear.

Jiang Huai comforted him: "We are just a cold employment relationship."

Cong Shan said: "But he is your ex-boyfriend."

Jiang Huai said: "I am a lawyer, this is my job."

Cong Shan said: "Attorney Jiang cares about the common people, but forgets about the people in front of him."

Jiang Huai suppressed a smile, pretending to be serious: "We have great love in our hearts, and we will not be trapped by small love and small love."

It is rare for him to have sharp teeth, Cong Shan sighed again.

Jiang Huai asked him tentatively, "Dr. Cong regretted it?"

Cong Shan shook his head and hugged him tighter.

"I just found that although you are not bound by love, I am fascinated by you."

He used the most ordinary tone and said the most beautiful love words, Jiang Huai couldn't stand it anymore and blushed.

After a while, he conceded defeat.

"Next, when I see Qin here, I will tell you in advance."
