As usual, the nightlife in major bars in Jiangning started early. Although most office workers are still working overtime for free, the target group of customers of a number of high-end bars represented by ME is originally those who have free time. Loose second-generation rich people or executives of large companies, so starting from 6 or 7 o'clock, these bars are already 70% to 80% full.
In ME's supreme booth, Qin Shoumo, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, hugged a woman with one arm, and the two women took turns feeding him the champagne in their hands.
As for the women sitting on both sides of the booths who couldn't squeeze in, it didn't matter. Anyway, they were just sitting there taking pictures and posting them on WeChat to show off their lives. Most of them knew in their hearts that men like Qin Shoumo Most of them have no interest in them either.
But today, in addition to taking selfies, these women were also curiously looking at a young woman in a white dress sitting at the edge of the booth.
The woman looked to be about 23 or 24 years old. Although the brand of the clothes she was wearing could not be seen, they still recognized the latest Chanel handbag in her hand.
The woman is very different from the other women who hang out in the bar every day. She doesn't have that coquettish feeling at all, and she doesn't have the sense of customs that hang out in nightclubs all year round. What she has is just the grace and naturalness of a lady.
There is no exaggerated heavy makeup on the woman's face. It looks like she just put on a little foundation and some lipstick to make herself look fresher, but nothing else.
However, this extremely plain makeup paired with the woman's perfect oval face makes her look more elegant, and her whole person exudes a fresh and elegant feeling.
Just like a peony flower, it is pleasing to the eye.
Of course, these appearance and grooming are all external things. The reason why everyone is really curious about this woman is because she was brought by Qin Shoumo.
After Qin Shoumo brought her to the bar, he threw her aside and ignored her. He started hugging her left and right. The woman didn't show any unpleasant reaction and simply sat in the corner of the booth. , in a daze without saying a word.
The strange relationship between the two people made everyone curious about the relationship between this woman and Qin Shoumo.
It doesn't look like a couple, otherwise this woman would have been unable to sit still for a long time. Could it be that she is an ambiguous partner? Ex-girlfriend? Or is it a relative of Qin Shoumo's family?
For a time, everyone was filled with all kinds of speculations.
After all, this is the first time Qin Shoumo has brought a woman here since he has been playing in ME for so long.
"Lawyer Qin, who is the woman you brought?"
After the woman on Qin Shoumo's left gave him a sip of champagne, she lay in Qin Shoumo's ear and asked softly.
Qin Shoumo reached out and patted the woman's butt, and said with a smile: "What's wrong? Are you jealous?"
When Qin Shoumo's hand fell on her butt, the woman gasped softly in Qin Shoumo's ear, "Where is it? Lawyer Qin, there are so many people around you, and I finally got the chance to squeeze in beside you today." Yes, if everyone was really jealous, where would I be able to eat? I would have been sore to death."
"That's why I don't like falling in love. Falling in love is so troublesome." Qin Shoumo laughed loudly. "I feel comfortable getting along with you. Each of you is very self-aware and knows what you can and cannot want."
"Lawyer Qin, how long will you be interested in me?"
"Then it depends on your performance." Qin Shoumo tapped the woman's nose, "But now you have to play by yourself for a while, I'm going to do something else."
"Oh, I didn't expect that it would lose its novelty to me so quickly. It's really sad."
Although she said this, the woman still got up from Qin Shoumo obediently, took the wine glass and went to find other little sisters to drink.
Qin Shoumo yawned, picked up a bottle of beer on the table in front of him, walked to the corner of the booth, and placed the beer in his hand in front of the woman in the white dress.
"Drink it in one gulp and you'll have twenty minutes."
"Lawyer Qin's time was actually bought with wine." The woman said in surprise.
"Wine is a good thing. The ancients have confirmed it for us. Look at people like Wu Song fighting tigers and drinking wine to release military power. There is no one who doesn't drink before doing big things." Qin Shoumo said righteously: "Even if it is Nowadays, drinking can also make people clear-headed and divergent. Maybe after drinking this bottle of wine, you will release all the wild ideas in your mind, and you won't need my help with this matter."
After staring at the bottle of wine in front of her for a long time, the woman took a deep breath, picked up the bottle, raised her head and started pouring it into her mouth.
When Qin Shoumo saw her posture, his eyelids suddenly jumped and he felt bad. He quickly stood up and took a few steps back.
Sure enough, the next second the woman took the bottle away from her mouth, squirted out a mouthful of wine, covered her mouth and stood up from her seat, then rushed straight to the trash can and vomited.
Maybe because she hadn't eaten yet, the woman couldn't spit out anything after just a few mouthfuls. She sat on the ground for a while and then stood up holding on to the table, looking at the stunned Qin Shoumo with some embarrassment.
"Um, I'm sorry, Lawyer Qin, this is my first time drinking, and I can't hold it down..."
Qin Shoumo looked the woman up and down and sighed, "Come with me."
After finishing speaking, he walked out without waiting for the woman to answer. The woman quickly picked up the handbag on the sofa and followed him a little unsteadily.
ME is located in the bustling commercial street in the city center. In addition to bars, there are naturally a variety of restaurants and drink shops.
Qin Shoumo first bought a cup of hot milk and handed it to the woman, then took the woman to a hot pot restaurant near the bar and started ordering.
In just ten minutes, the sudden change from a bar to a hot pot restaurant made the woman unable to react for a while. In addition, the alcohol from the beer just started to slowly hit her head, and the woman sat there with her mind blank.
"You've never had any alcohol before?"
Qin Shoumo's voice interrupted the woman's daze.
The woman shook her head to clear her mind, "No, this is really the first time since I was a child."
"I thought that for a family like yours, things like cocktail parties are essential."
Perhaps because of the mention of family, the woman's expression suddenly darkened.
"There are indeed some drinking parties at home from time to time, but I am allergic to alcohol, so my parents never let me have any alcohol."
Alcohol allergy?
Qin Shoumo was stunned and looked at the woman carefully. Sure enough, some dense red spots began to appear on the woman's skin.
"Wait for me here for a while." Qin Shoumo felt helpless and ran to the pharmacy outside.
Judging from the woman's condition, the allergy seems to be quite serious. No matter what, it is still because he insists on letting her drink.
It was just a casual idea at first, but it almost turned into a big deal.
After buying the medicine, Qin Shoumoyou quickly returned to the hot pot restaurant and placed the medicine in front of the woman.
"This is quite useful in treating allergies. Although it won't be cured right away, at least it can be controlled first, and things should be fine tomorrow."
The woman took the medicine and was a little dazed. "Thank you, Lawyer Qin. Since something happened at home, no one has cared about me for a long time."
Listening to the woman's thoughts in the afternoon, Qin Shoumo estimated that it was probably because his parents died unexpectedly and left several children, which involved the distribution of inheritance and so on.
Maybe the girl was alone and weak, and the brothers and sisters above her joined forces to snatch away her share. She had no one to rely on at home, so she had to find her own place.
"Hot pot is not interesting if you eat it too fast. You have to eat slower so that the bottom of the hot pot will be more fragrant." Qin Shoumo said softly: "So you have more than two hours now. It’s been ten minutes, you can tell me your story.”
The woman drank the medicine with hot milk, and then she felt that the itching caused by allergies on her body was relieved. She breathed a sigh of relief and began to organize her words.
"Lawyer Qin, the reason why I came to you is not only because you are the only lawyer in the country with a 100% winning rate, but also because my father has also come to you before."
"That's quite a coincidence. What's your father's name?"
What the woman said is normal. There are so many rich people coming to see her every day, and it is normal that one of them is her father.
"My father's name is Xu Yuanyang, and my name is Xu Xi."
"Xu Yuanyang, this sounds a bit familiar...Ah, I remember it, chairman of the Asian Games Shipbuilding Company?" Qin Shoumo thought about the name in his mind for a long time.
"Yes, I didn't expect you to remember Lawyer Qin." Xu Xi nodded.
Qin Shoumo thought for a while, "It must have been more than half a year. It was mainly because of your father's extraordinary status that I had an impression. Hey, Asian Games Ship, this is the largest shipping company in Asia. Listen, It is said that even some of the country’s heavy weapons have been transported by Asia Ship’s ships, and they are all officially designated cooperative companies.”
"Brilliant things are all done when dad is here." Xu Xi asked softly: "Lawyer Qin, do you still remember what the topic of conversation was with you on the day dad came to see you?"
"It seems to be about the distribution of inheritance or something like that, but we only discussed the plan at that time, but we haven't signed any specific legally binding documents or anything like that."
Xu Xi nodded, "Yes, my father also mentioned this matter to me and my mother after he came back. My father said that he had just thought about what he wanted to leave me for the time being. He still wanted to know about those brothers and sisters. Didn’t think about it well.”
When Xu Xi said this, Qin Shoumo immediately realized, "You are the youngest illegitimate child that Xu Yuanyang said... No, the youngest daughter?"
"It's okay, I am indeed the illegitimate daughter." Xu Xi said calmly.
"It's not important, don't worry about such trivial matters." Qin Shoumo waved his hand, "So why are you coming to me now? Your parents had an accident, but before they had time to write a will to distribute the inheritance, your brothers My sisters don’t want to give you anything, so you come to me and want me to help you get something?”
Xu Xi shook his head, "Lawyer Qin, do you still remember what dad said about the distribution of my inheritance when we discussed this issue with you?"
Qin Shoumo looked up at the ceiling and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "I still remember that we were talking about the distribution of the money part of the inheritance. We will discuss the details in detail after he returns from overseas.
But regarding you, he did say that there is a store called Xiyu that must be reserved for you, and the other children cannot compete with you.
What is this store for? "
"This is a flower shop." Xu Xi said softly.
"Flower shop?" Qin Shoumo was stunned, "Your father is the shipping king of Asia, and he actually opens a flower shop that does not match his image."
Xu Xi leaned on the back of the chair and relaxed a little.
"Because this flower shop was opened by my father and mother when they were together. It is a memory that only belongs to the three of us."
