Qin Yuezhi's anger grew with every word. She suspected that Huo Tingdong was either an ass or someone who couldn't be reasoned with. No matter how much she spoke, he refused to let her go. Although she put up a strong fight, she ultimately failed.

With neither willing to concede, she ended up spending the night on the sofa in his office last night.

She wasn't having a good time, and naturally, she wouldn't let Huo Tingdong have a good time either. There was no private rest room in the office, so she directly took over the only three-person sofa. That dog man had nowhere to sleep and spent the entire night looking at documents.

Qin Yuezhi looked at Huo Tingdong, the triumph in her eyes couldn't be hidden. Hmph, try to compete with me, and see who outlasts the other.

The man still wore that poker face, except for a faint circle of bluish tinge under his eyelids, you wouldn't tell he had pulled an all-nighter. He was talking to Bo Jingzhou about Lu's illegal fundraising, with such vigor and energy, you wouldn't think he had gone without sleep all night.

"The evidence has been found, but the money has already been transferred to overseas accounts. It's difficult to get it back. It won't fill the hole, and public opinion isn't that easy to appease. You are now the CEO of Lu Corporation, and the Lu family can't make up for it. The mastermind, Ji Siyuan, is dead. Now, the only way to recover some losses is to keep biting you relentlessly."

"I guessed this a long time ago," Thin Jingzhou replied.

After they finished their business, Shen Wanci looked at Huo Tingdong, "Lawyer Huo, did you really keep Yuezhi by your side just because I asked you to watch over her?"

Huo Tingdong's gaze fell on Qin Yuezhi, who was staring at him with wide eyes, and said frankly: "No."

Qin Yuezhi: “??”

"She's stubborn and runs like the wind. If I don't find a way to keep her close, I probably won't see her for a year and a half. By the time she comes looking for me, it'll be time for me to file for divorce."

Having experienced several close calls with being sued, Qin Yuezhi truly dodged Huo Tingdong whenever possible. When she couldn't avoid him, she played the role of a timid bird, especially after witnessing the hardships Shen Wanci and Bo Jingzhou faced during their divorce. Afterward, she held Huo Tingdong, this accomplice, in utter contempt.

Come on, with Shen Wanci's living example right in front of her, how dare she develop any kind of romantic relationship with Huo Tingdong? What if they broke up someday, she wouldn't die but would definitely lose a layer of skin.

That kind of desperate, inseparable feeling, just thinking about it is heartbreaking, isn't it?

Qin Yuezhi straightened her spine: "What kind of divorce lawsuit? Can't you speak properly, cursing someone? If anyone wants a divorce, it's you who will get divorced."

Ho Tingdong let out a cold "hm" and added slowly, "You still can't get to the point. It's no wonder your grades have always been at the bottom."

"It's fine for me to say I have poor grades," she retorted, "but when someone else says it, it's an insult, especially coming from a top student like Huo Tingdong. That's pure disdain! Qin Yuezhi exploded instantly. She could take criticism on almost anything, but not her grades."

When she received her acceptance letter from Kyoto University, her mother would brag to everyone about how she had brought honor to the family. She had such a brilliant resume, and she was determined not to let Huo Tingsong, that bastard, slander her. “Did someone with poor grades actually get into Kyoto University? It’s understandable if you lack intelligence, but can't you please stop…showing off?”

Qin Yuezhi's voice grew softer. Well, she admitted, she was taking advantage of the situation. She wasn't originally from Kyoto, nor was she an art major... but luck is a kind of skill too, isn't it?

What does it mean for this man to look at her with the eyes of someone who thinks she's mentally disabled?

This point, Qin Yuezhi truly misunderstood Huo Tingdong. With his current gaze, if it were seen by others at the law firm, they would surely be astonished. A work machine that was emotionless and only concerned with legal provisions, could actually use such a doting look to look at a woman one day.

But Qin Yuezhi was not only clueless about love, she also looked at Huo Tingsong with tinted glasses: “You’re not single, it’s simply outrageous.”

He's well-suited to getting lost in the intricacies of legal jargon.

Huo Tingdong : "..."

Bo Jingzhou already had a headache, and Qin Yuezhi's incessant clamor made it worse. "Everything has been said, the patient has been seen, let's go."

If it weren't for these two people suddenly appearing, he and Wanwan might have opened their hearts and gotten back together. Such a good atmosphere was ruined by these two eye-catching bags. Thinking of this, he looked at them with resentment in his eyes, wishing he could immediately drive them away.

Qin Yuezhi instantly saw through Bo Jingzhou's thoughts. She grabbed Shen Wanci, rubbing her head against her chest, and provocatively raised an eyebrow at the man on the bed: "Wanci, Wanwan, we haven't slept together in a long time. When you're free, come stay with me for a night, okay? I have so much to tell you."

Shen Wanci let out a helpless chuckle, pressing against Qin Yuezhi's head and making her sit up straight: "Don't get mad at him. The doctor said he hit his head and has internal injuries. He can't get excited."

"Lust overrules friendship."

Qin Yuezhi rolled her eyes at her, but it was clearly just a playful complaint, not anger.

Bo Jingzhou sneered and looked back at Qin Yuezhi, reaching out to press the call button on the bedside table.

Qin Yuezhi : “…”

Before she could figure out this man's intentions, the nurse walked in.

Bo Jingzhou faintly said, "This person is too noisy, he's giving me a headache."

As soon as the nurse heard that the patient was unwell, she immediately began to usher people out: "The patient needs to rest now. Everyone except family members accompanying them should go out."

Qin Yuezhi : “......”

Wow.

This bastard, he's such a jerk.

"Bo Jingzhou, do you still have any shame? You're even jealous of your best friend's vinegar! You're so jealous that you'll die from it. Just wait and see how I'll make things difficult for you. I'll complain about you to Wanci every day, stirring up trouble where there is none, picking out all your flaws and repeating them. You better watch out," Qin Yuezhi was half-dragged and half-carried out of the ward by Huo Tingdong. The voice behind them grew fainter: "Before, Wanci and I used to sleep together every night, cuddling up. If you had the guts, go back in time and kill me!"

Shen Wanci: "..."

After Qin Yuezhi was taken away, the ward finally fell silent.

Bo Jingzhou looked at Shen Wanci with a face full of grievance: "You used to sleep with her every day?"

She and Qin Yuezhi were roommates in college, even bunk beds. After graduation, they rented a house together again. Qin's family was wealthy and originally planned to buy an apartment for Qin Yuezhi directly. But at that time, Shen Wanci was so poor she couldn't even afford rent. She was afraid of hurting her self-esteem, so she deliberately said that she had a falling out with her family and rented a small, old one-bedroom apartment in the suburbs with her. There was only one bed.

She got married to Joseph Koo soon after, though.

"You're being ridiculous. She's my best friend, do you even get jealous like a normal woman?"

Women can also be lesbians.

But this thought only went through Bo Jingzhou's mind once, he didn't say it out loud. He held Shen Wanci's hand and changed the subject: "Wanwan, I haven't finished what I was saying just now."
