She took a detour and went to Yan Huaian's house. It was her first time here.
She found that his house was tidier than she had imagined. It wasn't messy at all, as if he had been in charge of the house for a long time and kept the house clean every day.
As soon as she entered, she smelled bacon and eggs from the kitchen.
Yu Zi was about to speak when she saw Yan Huaian's gentle gaze.
He looked like he was looking at his lover.
Yu Zi told herself that it must be an illusion, but she couldn't help blushing under Yan Huaian's gaze.
Although she didn't plan to start a new relationship, it didn't mean that she could remain indifferent under the gaze of such an outstanding man.
Her heart wasn't made of stone, so it was normal for her to be shy.
Feeling awkward, Yu Zi racked her brains to find a topic to cover up her strange behavior. But the more nervous she was, the more her mind went blank. She was usually sharp and eloquent in court, but now she was speechless.
After thinking for a long time, she thought of the worst topic and blurted out, "Our balconies are so close. If only I could come over from the balcony, then I wouldn't have to make such a big detour."
After a while, Yu Zi realized that it was inappropriate. If Yan Huaian wasn't here, she would have cracked open her head to see what was in it recently.
Why did she always say stupid things to Yan Huaian?
Yan Huaian looked at Yu Zi's annoyed expression, but he pretended to be calm and didn't say anything.
He was afraid that he would laugh if he spoke, so he turned around and put breakfast on the table.
"I made coffee. Do you want coffee for breakfast? If not, there's milk and juice at home, "Yan Huaian said.
"Coffee is fine," Yu Zi said.
Yan Huaian brought the coffee pot over, along with animal milk balls and sugar packets for coffee.
Yu Zi liked sweet coffee, so she put three packets of sugar in it.
Yan Huaian didn't add cream, only one packet of sugar.
She didn't know where the coffee came from, or if it was because Yan Huaian was good at making coffee, but Yu Zi's coffee tasted better than the coffee brewed in a coffee shop. It didn't have the delicate flowers, but the taste was much better. It was rich and mellow.
"Are you used to drinking coffee in the morning?" Yu Zi asked casually.
"It's a habit I developed when I was studying in England when I was young. It feels good to be able to stay awake in the morning," Yan Huaian explained with a nod.
Yu Zi cut the egg white and the bacon together and ate it. One side of the egg white was slightly charred, and there was a slight spiciness from the freshly ground black pepper. Together with the slightly salty and crispy texture of the bacon, the layers of texture were very delicious.
"Because I'm in a hurry to go to work in the morning, my breakfast is usually simple," Yan Huaian said.
"It's already very good. Sometimes I'm too lazy to cook breakfast in the morning, so I buy it on the way out. Or I buy a sandwich at the convenience store the night before and eat it at home in the morning." Yu Zi's face was full of happiness as she ate. "I haven't had such a hot, fragrant breakfast in a long time. If I have a good breakfast, I'll be in a good mood for the whole day. "
"Then you might as well come to my place for breakfast in the future," Yan Huaian took the opportunity to suggest.
Yu Zi laughed dryly and did not give a clear answer.
After breakfast, Yan Huaian offered to send Yu Zi home. Since Yu Zi's law firm was on the way to Yanhui, Yu Zi did not refuse.
She went to the underground parking lot with Yan Huaian.
At the entrance, Yue Jingchen saw a black Mercedes-Benz SUV drive out of the neighborhood. He did not react and continued to wait for Yu Zi with a numb expression.
But when he saw the person sitting in the front passenger seat through the window, which was lowered by a third, Yue Jingchen's expression suddenly changed, and he rushed over. "Yu Zi!"
Before he spoke, Yan Huaian had already seen him. At that time, Yu Zi was looking for something in her bag, so she did not see him.
When Yue Jingchen rushed over, Yu Zi took out a black rubber band from her bag and tied her long hair into a neat ponytail.
Because her arms were covering her face, she did not see Yue Jingchen.
When she finished tying her ponytail, she happened to hear Yue Jingchen call out "Yu Zi." She looked back in shock.
At that moment, Yan Huaian suddenly stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away. No matter how hard Yue Jingchen ran, he was only a little behind the car.
Yan Huaian looked at her innocently. "What's wrong?"
Yu Zi paused and shook her head. "Nothing."
Yan Huaian sent her to the law firm. Yu Zi turned and said, "Thank you so much for today."
Yan Huaian smiled warmly and looked at Yu Zi with a deep gaze. "We're neighbors. You don't have to be so polite."
It was not until Yu Zi walked into the elevator that she realized she had become so familiar with Yan Huaian without realizing it. She did not feel like they were strangers at all.
It had only been one night!
The moment she entered the office, she saw her master, Song Dashen, walk out.
"Master," Yu Zi immediately called out. She did not even have the time to return to her seat.
Song Dashen said, "Come with me to the police station to meet our new client."
"Yes!" Yu Zi hurriedly grabbed her bag and left the law firm with Song Dashen.
Song Dashen was not as famous as Yu Gesheng in the industry, but he was still a famous lawyer. When Yu Zi wanted to apply for a job, she had asked Yu Gesheng for advice.
Since she did not want to work under Yu Gesheng, she asked him to recommend some lawyers to her.
Song Dashen was the first person Yu Gesheng nominated. Fortunately, Yu Zi also got in.
Song Dashen was a few years younger than Yu Gesheng, so he could be Yu Zi's father. Yu Zi was very talented and adaptable. Song Dashen liked this disciple very much and felt that she was the best one he had ever taught. Therefore, he taught her with all his heart and treated her like a daughter.
As they walked to Song Dashen's car, Song Dashen asked casually, "How was the engagement on Saturday?"
Yu Zi was silent for a while. Her colleagues in the law firm did not know about her engagement. Only her master, Song Dashen, knew about it.
"It didn't go through. I broke up with my man … I think my ex-boyfriend," Yu Zi said.
Song Dashen was not surprised at all. He had met Yue Jingchen's mother once.
At that time, Pan Yunfeng passed by the law firm. It was noon, so she came to find Yu Zi and asked her to treat her to a meal.
At that time, they happened to be coming out of the law firm together, so they greeted Pan Yunfeng.
Song Dashen had been smart for half his life. Even with just a few words, he understood Pan Yunfeng's character very well.
Therefore, Song Dashen was not surprised that Yu Zi would break up with Yue Jingchen. He even felt that it would happen sooner or later.
Ever since he met Pan Yunfeng, Song Dashen had felt that way.
However, this was his little disciple's personal matter. Feelings were like family matters. No one could interfere, no matter how close they were. Therefore, Song Dashen had never said anything.
This time, when he heard Yu Zi say it, he did not ask why because he already knew.
He patted Yu Zi's shoulder. "Then let it go completely and start a new life. Don't blame me for not reminding you. You should not be repetitive. I also hate people who are repetitive, indecisive, and unhappy. I know you are the same. "
Yu Zi nodded and smiled. "Don't worry, master."
Seeing that she was responding well, Song Dashen did not say anything else and drove her to the police station.
In the car, Song Dashen briefly told her about the client. "The client is Zhao Yuxuan, male, 26 years old, an accountant at Chengke Investment Company. On the surface, Chengke provides investment and financial services for clients, but behind the scenes, they help the Green Rock Gang launder money. They were arrested by the police. Now, Zhao Yuxuan has been pushed out to take the blame. Zhao Yuxuan is just an ordinary person with a small family business. He must be unhappy, so he came to us. "
"Is he really innocent?" Yu Zi asked. "After all, he is an accountant at Chengke. He usually comes into contact with the company's accounts. If there is something wrong, how can he not see it? Or help the company falsify the accounts? "
Song Dashen smiled. "Who knows? With his position, I don't think he's really innocent. Did he take the initiative to get involved, or was he threatened to collude with the company? In any case, we have to talk to him. "
The two of them arrived at the police station. After explaining their purpose, they were taken to the interrogation room.
They did not know if Zhao Yuxuan watched too much TV or if he had been taught by an expert, but he did not answer any questions before they arrived.
Song Dashen asked the police to give them some space to talk alone, and the police left.
While Song Dashen was asking questions, Yu Zi observed Zhao Yuxuan. He was really nervous. His hands were clasped on the table, and he kept exerting force. His fingertips were pale without him even realizing it. One of his feet kept bouncing. When he was tired, he would switch to the other.
Seeing that he was not telling the truth, Yu Zi said coldly, "Mr. Zhao, since we are your lawyers, we hope that you can cooperate with us and tell us everything you know. Only then can we fight for the best interests for you. If you hide things from us, we can't help you. "
Zhao Yuxuan pursed his lips, looking at them with obvious distrust.
Song Dashen was invited by Zhao Yuxuan's parents. In order to get Song Dashen, his parents not only had to spend a lot of money on lawyers, but they had also used many connections and sent a lot of gifts.
Yu Zi knew this without anyone saying it out loud.
At Song Dashen and Yu Gesheng's level, they were not the ones looking for cases, but the cases looking for them. It also depended on whether they were free, whether they thought the case was challenging, and whether they were willing to take it. It was really capricious.
Therefore, Yu Zi couldn't bear to see Zhao Yuxuan waste his parents' efforts. "Your parents spent a lot of money to invite my master over, and we signed an agreement that our conversations with clients must be kept confidential and will never be leaked. If you don't believe us, it's fine. We will ask your parents to find someone else. But no matter which lawyer, no matter how capable, as long as you keep this attitude, you can forget about being acquitted. "
