Chapter 384: Sobering Up

you just happened to appear during this time. Both you and my husband are excellent people. A moment of confusion is understandable. 。I'm writing to you today in humility, as a wife and a mother, beg...When the alcohol wore off, so did the fogginess.

Seeing Zhu Yu'an appear at home, she exclaimed in shock.

“What the hell are you still doing here”

It's a typical case of "crossing the river and dismantling the bridge." I thought this guy wouldn't go home late at night, wouldn't he be waiting here to see my jokes That's too much. When he went through a tough divorce and was desperate, he never mocked him once.

"Not so idle!" Looking at him as a joke, what's there to see

"Didn't come home all night, got kicked out" Lu Kuo suddenly forgot his own pain, a gloating soul asked.

This hit Zhuo Yujian's sore spot. He was going to pick up Tinglan after work, but she said that she and the kids were going to Lin Zhixuan's house for the weekend. Lin Zhixuan and Fu Shenyi had just moved into their new home, a spacious villa with plenty of rooms. They planned to stay there for as long as they wanted.

Lin Zhixuan had always been cold and indifferent to him, keeping him at arm's length. He couldn't bring himself to be persistent and annoying despite the desire to do so.

"Isn't it because of you" Zhuo YUAN truly felt what Ting Lan had said at this moment. He was meddling in other people's business, and Lu Kuo, that idiot, deserved to be single for life.

I'm really angry, I'm even swearing.

After learning the truth, Lu Kuo, this culprit, not only showed no remorse but also gloated with feigned sympathy.

“That’s not right of Tinglan to run away from home.”

Zhuo Yu'an sneered inwardly, oh, she wasn't running away from home. It was just a big fuss, using this as an excuse to get away from him and spend the weekend happily with her girlfriends. From Lin Zhi's frequent updates on social media, it was clear that she had a wonderful weekend.

This is outrageous!

"Brother, rest assured, I'll help you win your wife back by Monday. You won't be alone for too long." Lu Kuo said with righteousness.

Shu Tinglan and Lin Zhixiao really had a pleasant weekend together because Fu Shini was away on a business trip. Lin Zhixiao felt...

“Life without men is truly less stressful.”

The two best friends hadn't been this close in a long time. They were drinking tea in her tea room, then soaking in the hot springs in her backyard. The kids were reading or playing games in the sunroom. It was simply blissful.

When Shu Tinglan went to work on Monday, he had a completely different demeanor from last week. His face was bright and cheerful as he welcomed the new week.

Li Anna had signed several major agency contracts as soon as the year began. The lawyers in the business department all thought she was sure to be promoted to partner this year, just waiting for Lan Xiaoshan's HR order. This made Shu Tinglan feel immense pressure. Her relaxed weekend mood vanished the moment she walked into the law firm, replaced by instant tension.

Li Anna is very smart. After the start of the year, all these agency contracts she signed were actually negotiated last year, but she deliberately waited until this year to sign them. After all, last year's performance didn't meet the target, so it's better to accumulate them all this year for a surge. As for the position of business partner, she is sure to get it.

But Lan Xiaoshan is a shrewd person. Every time there's a meeting or he talks to her, he lavishly praises her ability and says that this year's good start is a good omen, but he never states his position. She has also asked Guo Ran, who handles personnel matters, if there are any instructions from above, but Guo Ran shakes his head.

“Lan Law always wouldn't consult us on this kind of matter. If there's an assignment, he would decide it himself and then inform us to carry it out.”

Li Anna's heart was always hanging.

"Anyway, just do your best. Lan Lü last year suddenly promoted Shu Tinglan here, it's probably not that simple." Guo Ran kindly reminded.

"I know her very well. She only has a few small clients in hand and shouldn't cause any trouble. Besides, relying on her relationship with Blue Law, she comes and goes on time every day. I haven't seen her work overtime once. If Blue Law really wants to promote her, it would be impossible to convince the other lawyers in the team."

Li Anna has completely disregarded Shu Tinglan since this year, considering her not to be in the same league as a competitor.

Guo Ran nodded, agreeing with Li Anna. After all, she had employee attendance records. Although many lawyers in their firm weren't on a 9 to 5 schedule and had flexible hours, those lawyers were either meeting clients or on their way to meet clients—they were very dedicated. In contrast, Shu Tinglan had such a regular work schedule.

This is because they don't understand Shu Tinglan. She does indeed clock in and out on time because she has two children at home and is used to working overtime after returning. She doesn't need others to see her efforts.

She has been at Lanshan Law Firm for two months. Besides some small clients, she has also developed some large clients. However, the Spring Festival happened in between, so the pace was disrupted. She needs to wait until the clients are back to work fully before she can move forward.

Busy organizing customer information, received a WeChat message from Lu Kuo.

“Let's go out for lunch.”

Shu Tinglan smiled, feeling very happy. Lu Kuo, a big fish, had come to her doorstep. She couldn't have asked for more; she was worried about lacking high-quality clients.

Once they arrived at the restaurant, she rarely showed her enthusiasm to Lu Kuò. While handing him a menu, she said

“It’s rare for you to come to our firm. I’ll treat you to a meal, order whatever you like.”

Lu Kuo trembled: "Tinglan, have I done anything wrong recently" He quickly went through everything he had done recently in his mind. Did he say something that offended her Had Zhuo Yu'an told her about his teasing remarks

Shu Tinglan: "How could our Young Master Lu possibly be wrong No way, if there's a mistake, it's mine." She was wrong for neglecting him in the past.

Lu Kuo was even more frightened: "Tinglan, if I'm wrong, let the law punish me. Don't torture me like this, my heart can't take it."

"It's just a sincere invitation to have dinner. After all, we've known each other since we were young, haven't we If you don't want to, then you treat me."imin asked cautiously, having never seen her son like this. 。Although the son appears arrogant, he is well-mannered in his daily life and treats others politely. It's rare to see him with such an int...
