Ye Junting stopped. "What?"
"It seems that you were misunderstood because of me that day. If there are any bad rumors, I hope you
don't take them to heart." Shu Tian was a little embarrassed to say this in person.
But Ye Junting was much more generous. "It doesn't matter. If you want to fight back these rumors Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
beautifully, try to be stronger."
Shu Tian's eyes sparkled. "Thank you, Lawyer Ye."
Ye Junting looked at the woman's smiling face. Her rosy lips, pretty white teeth, and sweet dimples
made her more attractive. He had been in contact with Shu Tian a few times, and it was the first time
he had seen her smile so bright.
It was like a branch soaked in spring rain, which made people feel warm and fresh in their hearts.
"Lawyer Ye?"
Ye Junting regained his senses and looked away from her face. He coughed softly. "You're welcome.
Work hard."
After that, without waiting for Shu Tian's reply, he turned back and entered the office.
He shut the door with a snap. Shu Tian stood outside the door, rubbed her nose, and left in confusion.
She did not know that all of this had been seen by Meng Yu, who was hiding in the corner behind her.
...
After a busy morning, Li Han was not at the company during lunchtime. Shu Tian didn't know where he
went, but she finally didn't have to hurry to eat and take time to accompany him.
She went downstairs to the coffee shop after lunch with Zhang Rui'er.
The two of them stood at the bar and waited. When the coffee was finally ready, Shu Tian took it from
the waiter. But just at this time, she was hit by a powerful force, which exactly touched her arm.
Shu Tian was unprepared. The coffee in her hand spilled out and splashed on the ground and the back
of her hand.
"Ah!" She couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Zhang Rui'er, who was standing by the side, was startled. She took a step forward and looked at the
back of her hand, which was burning red. "Are you okay?"
Her fair and tender skin immediately turned light red by the heat, and there was a burning pain on the
wound. Later, she must apply some ointment, or the wound would definitely blister.
Shu Tian frowned slightly. "I'm all right."
Zhang Rui'er turned back and looked at the person behind her, who looked a little familiar. When she
took a closer look, she saw that woman was a colleague of the company, but their positions were
different, so they didn't usually deal with each other. She swallowed her words and tried to be a little
more polite. "Be careful. How could you run into her when there's only two of us in front of you?"
She thought that the other party would at least apologize, but Meng Yu didn't feel guilty at all. She
glanced at the back of Shu Tian's hand. "Sorry, I didn't notice you."
Didn't notice her?
Zhang Rui'er was furious. "You didn't notice the two standing in front of you, then what are you looking
at?"
"Oh, I didn't mean to. You don't have to exaggerate." Meng Yu glanced at the spilled coffee. "Well, I'll
buy you another cup."
Zhang Rui'er was shocked by her rightful attitude. "It's not about a cup of coffee. You hit a guy and you
take this attitude. Where's your upbringing?"
"I didn't hit you. Why are you so mad?" After Meng Yu finished speaking, she looked at Shu Tian and
muttered, "Someone is just trying to curry favor..."
Before Zhang Rui'er could react, Shu Tian, who had been silent, reached out to stop her and looked at
Meng Yu. "Did you hit me on purpose?"
Although she was asking her, there was a certainty in her tone that made people not dare to lie easily.
Meng Yu panicked for a few seconds but soon calmed down. "How is that possible? I really didn't
notice you."
"Really?" Shu Tian stopped questioning her and suddenly asked, "What's your name?"
Meng Yu was a little confused, but she still said her name. "My name is Meng Yu."
She had thought that Shu Tian would argue with her and had already thought of the words to retaliate,
but why didn't she seem to have any reaction at all? Could it be that she saw that Meng Yu had
deliberately bumped into her and asked the name for revenge?
Meng Yu remembered the rumors in the company. If this Shu Tian really had a backer, would she
deliberately make things hard for her?
Meng Yu suddenly regretted her impulsiveness, but Shu Tian didn't say anything. She just left a faint "I
see." and turned to leave.
Zhang Rui'er followed her out of the coffee shop, not understanding what she was doing. "Shu Tian,
that's it?"
"Or else, fight with her?" Shu Tian looked at her with amusement.
Zhang Rui'er was furious. "That Meng Yu, have you ever offended her? I think she did it on purpose!"
"I don't even know her, let alone offend her." Shu Tian said helplessly. "I guess it's because she doesn't
like me."
Although Zhang Rui'er was furious, she understood that they were after all colleagues in the same
company, therefore they shouldn't make a big fuss. "But why did you ask her for her name?"
Shu Tian's eyes narrowed slightly. " To scare her."
Zhang Rui'er was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "You're scheming."
...
At 3 p.m. in the afternoon, Ye Junting called Shu Tian to the office and asked her to prepare for the
meeting with the head of the defendant's company in the evening.
After Shu Tian went back, she went through the case again. Although she didn't reach the extent of
reciting it backward fluently, she was familiar with the details.
Before she set off, she hesitated for a long time and decided to tell Li Han so that he wouldn't be angry
when he returned home at eight in the evening. Anyway, it would be hard for her if he lost his temper.
However, no one answered the call for a long time. She called again but still, no one answered.
Thinking that he might be busy with work, Shu Tian did not continue to call but sent him a text
message.
The moment she put her phone away, a black Porsche suddenly stopped in front of her. Shu Tian
scanned the logo on the rear of the car, which showed the car was undoubtedly top-of-the-range.
The car was worth at least two million yuan, but as a top lawyer from the Hanyi Law Office, it was no
surprise that Ye Junting could possess it.
The window was rolled down, revealing the man's beautiful eyes. "Get in the car."
Shu Tian opened the door and sat in. The two of them went to their destination together.
The other party booked the meeting place at an upscale membership tea house next to a scenic lake in
the city. Shu Tian and Tang Zechen had been there once before, and the environment was excellent.
The price of tea was ten thousand and higher.
Half an hour later, the car stopped. Ye Junting unbuckled his seat belt and looked at her. "Let's go."
Shu Tian was still nervous. "Lawyer Ye, do I need to say something when I go in?"
"What do you want to say?"
"...I don't know either."
Ye Junting smiled. "You don't have to be nervous. I asked you to come mainly for the purpose of
learning. There's no need to be too stressed."
Shu Tian nodded and cheered herself up in her heart.
Ye Junting glanced at the back of her red hand and frowned. "What happened to your hand?"
Shu Tian didn't say too much. "It was burnt by accident. No big deal."
"Did you apply the ointment?"
Shu Tian nodded. "Yes."
"Girls should be more careful. It's not good to have scars on your body."
This didn't sound like what Ye Junting would say. Shu Tian smiled awkwardly. "Thank you."
After the two of them got out of the car, a waiter who was already waiting at the door of the tea house
led them into the private room. As soon as the door opened, Shu Tian was stunned when she saw the
man sitting there.
Obviously, he also noticed her gaze. After greeting Ye Junting, he looked at Shu Tian with a half-smile.
"Long time no see, Miss Shu."
