There was endless grievance and pain in his voice.
His big hands kept stroking Joey's head.
Careful, yet hard to put down.
With Lu Wenzhou like this, Joey was a little helpless. She would rather he remained as domineering and strong as before, at least then she could push him away without any scruples.
But now Lu Wenzhou looked like a fragile magnetic doll. A little force could break him.
Joey forced a smile on his lips, but his voice was indifferent and distant.
"Mr. Lu, there is no need to give me such a big thank you gift. You paid so much commission. It is my duty to win this lawsuit."
She said nothing about Lu Wenzhou's request.
He just patted him on the back very officially and smiled comfortingly.
Joey looking like this made Lu Wenzhou feel uncomfortable.
There was no longer any connection between her and him other than official matters.
Lu Wenzhou's deep eyes were full of pain.
His fiery gaze fell on Joy's fair face, and he wanted to find a trace of his love in her eyes.
But what disappointed him was that there was a calm and calm smile in Joey's clear and bright eyes.
Lu Wenzhou's throat felt stinging, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Yiyi, do you really don't want me anymore?"
Joey's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her lips curved slightly: "Mr. Lu, I already took the breakup fee, so it wouldn't be good to get involved again."
She pointed to Chen Zhuo next to her and said, "Assistant Chen brought you a set of clothes. Go and change. You will be interviewed by reporters later."
Lu Wenzhou had never felt so powerless.
The person he likes is right in front of him, but he is helpless.
He clenched his fists tightly and said, "Wait for me, you have to attend the press conference."
Half an hour later, Lu Wenzhou was interviewed by reporters.
He gave all the credit to Joey.
Joey also shocked the legal world again because of this case.
After a month of depression, she finally returned triumphantly.
When the interview was about to end, a reporter asked: "Mr. Lu previously admitted that he was chasing a girl. Is that person Lawyer Qiao?"
Lu Wenzhou looked at Joey without any secret.
Those originally deep eyes were a little more affectionate.
"Can I not answer? If I answer too much, it will make her unhappy and it will be more difficult for me to pursue my wife."
He didn't mention Joey a word, but his eyes were full of affection for Joey.
Even a fool knows who the girl he is talking about is.
Joy maintained a very official smile throughout the whole process, and she did not provide any explanation for Lu Wenzhou’s answers.
To explain is to admit.
When everything was over, Lu Wenzhou grabbed Joey's wrist, his voice filled with unconcealable emotion.
"Lawyer Qiao, I won the lawsuit. Do you mind if I treat you to a casual meal?"
He said it in a high-sounding way, and he thought Joey would definitely not refuse.
But the next second, he heard Joey's clear voice.
"Sorry, Mr. Lu, I already have an appointment, maybe next time."
After saying that, she walked towards a black car.
A handsome and upright man got out of the car. That man was none other than Yan Xingcheng.
Lu Wenzhou gritted his teeth in anger.
He turned his head and looked at Chen Zhuo: "Why is he here?"
Chen Zhuo immediately replied: "Mr. Lu, Lawyer Yan's grandparents are both in country F. They have been very helpful to Lawyer Qiao in this lawsuit. This may mean he is going to meet the parents."
Meet the parents?
Hearing these three words, Lu Wenzhou's eyebrows jumped.
Doesn’t it count that Joey has met Yan Xingcheng’s parents?
Now he actually wants to see his grandparents?
When he thought of his grandma's desire for his grandson-in-law, Lu Wenzhou suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart.
He immediately walked towards the car with long strides: "Follow me."
Chen Zhuo was a little surprised: "Mr. Lu, are we following you? Isn't it bad?"
Lu Wenzhou glared at him coldly: "What if we watch her marry someone else?"
Chen Zhuo looked at his CEO's furious look and couldn't help complaining in his heart.
That's not what you did yourself!
The two of them followed Yan Xingcheng's car to a local high-end Western restaurant.
Yan Xingcheng helped Joey open the car door in a gentlemanly manner.
The smile on his face is gentle and beautiful.
"Joy, my grandparents want to see you. They have been waiting here for a long time."
Joey did not refuse, but smiled slightly and said, "They helped me a lot when I was investigating this case. I should buy some gifts to express my gratitude."
"No, as long as you have a meal with them."
The two of them came to the restaurant together, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw two old men with gray hair.
The old lady immediately smiled and took her hand and said, "You must be Yiyi. You are so good-looking. My Xingcheng and I are a match made in heaven."
Joey greeted politely: "Old lady, old gentleman, thank you for your help. Today's meal is mine."
The old lady said angrily: "Why do you call me old lady? It's so kind to call me grandpa and grandma."
Joey glanced at Yan Xingcheng. She had not responded to his pursuit.
Isn't it a good idea to call someone out so abruptly?
Yan Xingcheng said with a smile: "Even if you are a classmate, it is not too much to call me grandpa and grandma."
Joey smiled and called softly: "Hello, grandpa and grandma."
The two elderly people were so excited that the old lady immediately took off the bracelet from her wrist and put it on her hand before Joey could react.
"Yiyi, this is a gift from grandma. Don't dislike it. It is passed down from our ancestors. Although it is not worth a few dollars, it can nourish the body. I heard Xingcheng said that you are not in good health, so it is just right. Let’s take care of this jade bracelet.”
Joey immediately declined: "Grandma, this is too expensive, I can't have it."
The old lady immediately said angrily: "If you don't want it, you just dislike me for being such a bad old woman."
"Grandma, how could it be, I just..."
Before she finished speaking, Yan Xingcheng leaned in her ear and whispered: "Take it first. If you don't like it, just take it off. Don't refute the old man's face."
Joey had no choice but to give up.
It seems that the relationship between her and Yan Xingcheng should be carefully considered.
Lu Wenzhou, who was sitting not far away, had a panoramic view of all this.
When he saw Joey wearing the jade bracelet given by the old lady, his lungs almost exploded.
He pointed at Joey and complained angrily: "You silly woman, can't you see that this is Yan Xingcheng's conspiracy? That bracelet looks like a family heirloom. Wearing it is equivalent to admitting your relationship with Yan Xingcheng. No, I have to go there Remind her, otherwise she will be sold and still have to pay for it."
Chen Zhuo grabbed his CEO and said, "Mr. Lu, it's not good for you to go through with it like this. It will make Lawyer Qiao reject you even more."
"Then what should we do? That stupid woman has been tricked and she doesn't know yet."
"How do you know that Lawyer Qiao has been tricked? What if she already plans to be with Lawyer Yan?"
These words pierced Lu Wenzhou's heart without mercy.
The pain made his fingertips tremble.
Does Joey really plan to be with Yan Xingcheng?
Does she really not want him?
Thinking of this, Lu Wenzhou felt as if a big stone was stuck in his chest.
It was so suffocating that he couldn't breathe.
He is his woman, and the one she loves has always been him.
How could she be with someone else.
At this moment, Lu Wenzhou saw a little boy of about two years old not far away.
He had been hiding in a corner and secretly watching Yan Xingcheng.
The boy's eyes are clear and bright.
But Lu Wenzhou could tell that there was some kind of desire that couldn't be hidden deep in his eyes.
Lu Wenzhou narrowed his eyes slightly.
He looked at Yan Xingcheng and then at the little boy.
A strange thought suddenly arose in my heart.
He lay in Chen Zhuo's ear and didn't know what he said.
Chen Zhuo's eyes widened and he looked at him with an incredible expression.
