The moment Lu Wenzhou saw Joey, his heart felt as if something had hit him hard.
It hurt so much that he couldn't breathe.
The deep black eyes reflected the street lights above his head, gradually magnifying the pain in his eyes.
He didn't feel any pain when the unburned cigarette burned his fingers.
He just stared at Joey intently.
I am afraid that the person will disappear in the blink of an eye.
He wanted to ask her if she was having another nightmare.
He wanted to hold her in his arms and comfort her.
As much as Lu Wenzhou wanted to do this, his heart ached.
He unconsciously held the unburned cigarette butt tightly in his hand.
The excruciating pain made his brain gradually wake up.
He immediately took out his cell phone and wanted to send a message to Joey to ask about the situation.
But it wasn't until now that he discovered that Joey had blocked all his contact information.
When he reacted, he looked up and saw that Joey was no longer there.
His back hit the car hard, causing a piercing siren.
Joey sat on the sofa on the balcony.
I don't know when, tears were already sliding down my cheeks.
She once had wonderful fantasies about Lu Wenzhou, but now her heart aches.
She thought that her seven years of love and three years of mutual support, in exchange for the title of Canary, was already the most painful thing for her.
But she didn't expect that Lu Wenzhou's repeated indulgence of Song Qingya would be the greatest harm to her.
Joey curled up on the sofa, holding Xiaobai tightly in his arms.
Xiaobai's thick and soft fur gradually warmed her cold body.
She stayed at home for two days, not answering the phone, not replying to WeChat messages, not surfing the Internet, and not working.
Just lie quietly on the sofa with Xiaobai.
When she showed up at the law firm again, all her colleagues were shocked.
Joey had lost a lot of weight, his face was pale, and even his pink lips had no color at all.
The eyes were sunken and covered with red bloodshot eyes.
When Yan Xingcheng saw Joey like this, his heart ached.
He walked over, looked down at her, and asked softly: "Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to rest at home for a few more days?"
A wry smile appeared on Joey's pale face: "I'm fine, senior brother, I want to work."
She wanted to numb herself with work.
Let your bloody scar heal as soon as possible.
How could Yan Xingcheng not understand what she meant? He looked at her gently: "I have a case that requires some documents to be processed. Please help me."
Joey's eyes stayed on his face for a few seconds, and then asked: "Don't I even have a case of my own?"
"Joy, this is only temporary and everything will be fine, trust me."
Yan Xingcheng patted her head comfortingly.
Joey smiled at him: "I know."
She had already guessed this would be the result.
The negative impact Xia Nan had on her would not disappear in a day or two.
As soon as she followed Yan Xingcheng into the office, the secretary came in and knocked on the door.
"Lawyer Yan, someone wants to see Lawyer Qiao. I have arranged for them to be in the reception room No. 1."
Joey's eyes suddenly lit up, "Brother, my opportunity has come."
She seemed to be full of blood in an instant, and opened the door of the reception room with a smile on her face.
When he saw clearly who was sitting inside, the smile in Joey's eyes gradually dissipated.
The hands hanging by his sides clenched fists for no apparent reason.
"What are you here for?"
When Song Qingya saw her, she immediately showed an apology on her face.
"Lawyer Qiao, I'm here to apologize to you. I shouldn't have targeted you so much and allowed Xia Nan's incident to have such a big impact on you, to the point where no one even brought a lawsuit against you.
But don't worry, as long as you forgive me, as long as you beg me for mercy in front of Brother Wenzhou, my father will give you all the Song family's cases. What do you think? "
She said she was apologizing, but her face looked condescending.
Joey chuckled.
He said without mercy: "I don't need your apology, let alone your Song family case. How Lu Wenzhou treats you is his business and has nothing to do with me. Don't come to me. You are not welcome here. Please come back." .”
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Song Qingya's sarcastic voice suddenly came from behind.
"Lawyer Qiao, I know that your father separated from the Qiao family, and most of his assets were taken away by your grandma. Now he is in urgent need of partners. If you agree to plead with Brother Wenzhou and not let me go to the cemetery to keep vigil, I can ask my dad to help your dad make a comeback.
I think Lawyer Qiao is a smart man. Just a few words will help you and your father's career. Why not do it? "
Song Qingya's contemptuous eyes kept looking at Joey.
She felt that Joey would definitely agree to her conditions for the sake of her father.
Joey slowly turned around and stared at her with his twinkling eyes.
"I don't even like what Lu Wenzhou gave me. Do you think I will like your Song family?"
One sentence left Song Qingya speechless.
She didn't expect that Joey would be hit like this and his mouth would be so powerful.
Song Qingya clenched her fists in anger, "Why are you so proud, Joey? Do you think Brother Wenzhou really loves you? Can we really ignore our family's affection for you?"
Even if I ruin your reputation, so what, he just asked me to go to the ancestral grave to keep vigil.
When the time came for me to commit suicide due to illness, he would not obediently send someone to take me back.
Not only did we have an engagement, but there was also a life-saving grace in it. No matter when, he would never leave me alone.
But you are different, you are just a pet he played with. Have you forgotten what he said when he gave you the breakup check?
He asked you to take the money and never appear in front of him. Why are you so cheap? You always find various reasons to seduce him. You are just as cheap as your shameless mother. "
No matter how cruel Lu Wenzhou said to her that day, she hated Joey as much.
Joey was just a woman Lu Wenzhou had played with. Why should he have a falling out with the Song family because of her?
Why should he no longer care about her saving his life for Joey?
Joey kept his eyes lowered and listened quietly to Song Qingya's words.
As soon as she finished speaking, her beautiful almond eyes slowly opened.
The depths of his eyes were cold.
She looked at Song Qingya calmly: "Have you said enough? Then let's go. This is the office and I don't want to quarrel with you."
"Joy, do you think I really want to apologize when I come to you? I just want to tell you that the crew where your friend Han Zhiyi is working is an industry invested by our Song family. Do you believe that I told her to get out of the crew with just one sentence? .”
"You can do whatever you want, I don't care."
Seeing Joey being so rational, Song Qingya gritted her teeth in anger.
The plot he had planned long ago failed, and he left angrily.
Looking at her leaving figure, Joey's eyes gradually became filled with anger.
She knew Song Qingya's purpose of coming here. The apology was fake, but finding an opportunity to frame her was the real one.
Is she planning to drive her away to death?
There was an evil look on Joey's lips that he had never seen before.
A dark plan gradually emerged in her mind...
