The Bay Area was a dozen hours slower than China. Chen Hansheng visited Gao Wen at 11: 30 in the morning, while he was in the Bay Area at around 10: 00 in the evening.
In a separate courtyard, Xiao Rongyu was reading a book under the desk lamp in the bedroom. Bian Shishi was on the phone. Zhao Tong, the magazine reporter with the buzz cut who was called "fierce woman" by Chen Hansheng, was watching a WWE match in the living room.
"Knock, knock, knock ~"
The bedroom door was knocked a few times. Xiao Rongyu looked up. It was the white-haired old professor, Sun Biyu. She carefully came in with a bowl of nutritious soup.
"Madam, why are you making soup?"
Xiao Rongyu quickly took it.
"Why? Are you looking down on me?"
The old lady sat on the edge of the bed and said with a smile, "My soup cooking skills are not worse than Xiao Lin's. Drink it while it's hot."
"Xiao Lin" was the nanny hired by Shentong's chairman, Cheng Dejun. Xiao Rongyu and Bian Shishi called her "Aunt Lin," while Professor Sun called her "Xiao Lin."
"Oh ~"
Little Yu 'er picked up the nutritious soup and drank it. Professor Sun looked at her gently. Her eyes were full of kindness and care.
If Wu Yimin saw it, she would be jealous. She hadn't seen her mother look at her like that for many years.
"How is it?"
The old lady pointed at Xiao Rongyu's belly. "Is the morning sickness still big?"
Professor Sun came to the United States at the end of last month. She was prepared to go to court for a lawsuit. However, when she arrived, she found out that her last disciple, Xiao Rongyu, was pregnant.
Therefore, the old lady's "focus" quickly changed. She spent a lot of time taking care of Little Yu 'er.
Professor Sun had also thought about why, although she cared about her real granddaughter, Sun Tangtang, she always felt a little awkward. Especially when she saw those blue eyes, she felt a little "dirty."
There were probably three reasons. First, she had experienced the Republic of China, the War of Resistance, and the reform and opening up. Therefore, she always had a kind of hostility toward foreigners.
Secondly, after Wu Yimin divorced her ex-husband, Miller, Miller no longer hid his sexual orientation and lived with another man. This was what disgusted the old lady the most.
Third, Miller insisted on not apologizing or compensating. He even insulted Wu Yimin. He thought that Wu Yimin was the one who threw herself at him and that he had no responsibility.
Because of all these reasons, Professor Sun actually liked Xiao Rongyu more. Whenever Little Yu'er swung her high ponytail proudly, Professor Sun could see the shadow of his younger self.
"I've been feeling much better recently. I don't have morning sickness anymore."
Little Yu'er smiled faintly. Her dimples were sweet and beautiful. She was still as beautiful as ever.
Based on the time, Xiao Rongyu should have been "hit" on Christmas Eve last year. That day, her body temperature was slightly higher than usual, and she was particularly clingy to Chen Hansheng.
Chen Hansheng prided himself on being invincible and intelligent, but these two things were unexpected.
The first thing was the "Shuraba". The outbreak was too sudden. Moreover, it was caused by a nobody.
The second thing was that Little Yu'er was pregnant. Chen Hansheng originally placed his hopes on that "secret prescription". In the end, before he could use the secret prescription, Little Yu'er left him. What was even more unexpected was that she was already pregnant.
"The court will be going to trial very soon. The first trial is for you to do the preparatory work, so there's no need to be too tired."
Professor Sun reminded. According to past experience, this kind of court case would be repeated many times.
"Professor Sun, Little Yu'er."
Bian Shishi walked in after making a phone call. She sat beside Little Yu'er and placed her palm on her best friend's lower abdomen.
Little Yu'er was about two months pregnant, but her belly was still very smooth. It was completely impossible to tell from her body shape.
"Was it that black kid's phone call?"
The old lady also knew Wang Zibo. She directly called him "black kid".
"Oh, oh, oh, oh …"
Bian Shishi laughed when she heard that. Wang Zibo was indeed quite black. No matter how she thought about it, she was the one who was at a disadvantage.
However, she laughed so happily. She looked completely spoiled and happy. Even Little Yu'er was a little envious.
"Professor Sun, you guessed wrong this time."
Bian Shishi shook the phone screen. "It's not that black kid's phone call. It's Senior Gao."
"Huh?"
Xiao Rongyu raised her head. She thought that something had happened in the law firm.
"Nutshell …"
Bian Shishi only said the first two words. Immediately, she felt the atmosphere in the bedroom freeze. Time seemed to have solidified. She could even see every second clearly.
Professor Sun's face also darkened. She was already very dignified. Coupled with her white hair, Bian Shishi had a feeling of suffocation when she couldn't answer a question in class.
"What's wrong with Nutshell?"
On the contrary, Xiao Rongyu was silent for a while and asked quietly.
"Nutshell has been fighting with Samsung in China recently. They have quarreled to the point of filing a lawsuit against each other."
Bian Shishi explained while observing Xiao Rongyu's expression. "So Chen Hansheng found Senior Gao and hoped that our law firm could represent him in this dispute case …"
After Bian Shishi finished, she bit her lips and remained silent.
Xiao Rongyu's face was calm, but her eyes were a little confused. "Chen Hansheng and Nutshell" seemed to be a very strange term.
"Humph, he is also a restless person!"
In the end, the old lady broke the ice. "It seems that the company was restructured a while ago. Chen Hansheng became the chairman. Now he has a dispute with Samsung. He really can't live a peaceful life."
Although Old Professor Sun was "reprimanding" Chen Hansheng, there was a sense of "an elder nagging at a useless junior" in his tone.
Originally, the old lady was very angry at Chen Hansheng's behavior of "two-timing". However, ever since she learned that Little Yu 'er was pregnant, Professor Sun suddenly changed subtly.
She didn't criticize Chen Hansheng even once. Sometimes when Zhao Tong criticized Chen Hansheng, Professor Sun would subtly change the topic. The old lady seemed to be trying her best to calm down the conflict between Chen Hansheng and Xiao Rongyu.
"Shishi, what do you think?"
After a while, Xiao Rongyu asked Bian Shishi.
"I think we should accept it."
Bian Shishi already had an answer. "If there is a dispute between Nutshell and Samsung, it won't be a small one. If our law firm represents this case, we can increase our reputation and experience in commercial litigation. Besides, besides …"
Bian Shishi hesitated for a while, but didn't continue.
In fact, Shishi's attitude was similar to Professor Sun's. She hoped that Xiao Rongyu and Chen Hansheng could get back together. If the law firm represented this case, it would be possible for them to have more contact.
"Since it's good for the development of the law firm."
Xiao Rongyu said gently, "I agree."
"Great, then I'll tell Senior Gao this."
Bian Shishi was afraid that Little Yu 'er would change her mind, so she immediately called Gao Wen.
Professor Sun sat for a while and also left, leaving Little Yu 'er alone.
It was very quiet in the bedroom. Xiao Rongyu turned her head to look out of the window. The moonlight shone in the courtyard, and the white was as clear as water. The shadows of the trees in the courtyard were mottled and blurred on the ground. They crisscrossed like aquatic plants. The scenery was very beautiful, but also a little lonely.
"Chairman Chen …"
After a while, Xiao Rongyu sighed and subconsciously covered her lower abdomen. "Actually, Xiao Chen is easier to say."
… ….
After Bian Shishi and Gao Wen finished the call, they heard the sound of water in the kitchen. It turned out that Professor Sun was helping to wash the soup bowls.
"Let me do it."
Bian Shishi wanted to snatch it away.
"No need."
Professor Sun refused. "You know how to use detergent. I don't use detergent. It's better for Little Yu 'er's health."
"I don't use it either …"
Bian Shishi murmured in a low voice. However, from this, it could be seen that this famous scholar loved her last disciple very much.
"Professor Sun."
Bian Shishi looked at the back of the old lady and suddenly asked, "If I want to do something in the future, but this thing will hurt another kind girl, who is actually very innocent, should I do it?"
"Hualala, hualala …"
The old lady didn't say anything. She was still bending over to wash the bowls. There was only the sound of running water in the kitchen.
Time seemed to slow down again. After the bowl was clean, Professor Sun turned her head. Her eyes were very sharp, as if she had seen through her disciple's thoughts.
"Shishi, my opinion is …"
The old lady said word by word, "No matter what, a child can't live without a father!"
"Yes!"
Bian Shishi nodded heavily. She knew that Professor Sun was a firm "small fish".
Because a child couldn't live without a father!
