Chapter 13 - Du Zhuang

Ling Feng' hands rested on his waist. He stopped her the moment her feet touched the first floor.

"You will not going like this." He twisted her body and pushed her back to upstairs.

"What? Why?"

"You can't wear a skirt. Change to trousers!" he commanded.

"Whaaat?! Don't be silly. I don't have time to change my clothes again and being late on my first day of work!" Ling Yue refused and brushed off his hand. She headed for the dining table and sat down. The three brothers followed. Ling Huansheng stopped beside her and put on her glasses. He then pulled down her bangs to cover the entire Ling Yue's forehead.

Oh my God! Ling Yue screamed inside her head.

"I can sue all of you. This is a violence against my human rights and my freedom! You can't force me as you wish." She threatened.

Ling Huang chuckled. "I will put you to sleep before you can do it." He counter attacked.

Ling Yue taken aback. She chewed the sunny egg harshly, as if it was Ling Huang.

"Ridiculous! You three should be married so you can stop pestering me!" She gritted her, annoyed.

The three brothers gave a small laughter. "Or maybe it is me who should getting married first."

The laughter stopped right away. Now, Ling Yue's soft chuckled could be heard. 'That's it!' She never considered a marriage as an escape route from this sister complex's brothers. Maybe she could include a 'dating' as her agenda later.

She dapped a napkin around her mouth, stood and said "I'm off to work. And find my Mr. Right," gave them a wink and bid a goodbye.

Ling Huang looked at his brothers after registered what she talked into his brain. "She's not serious, right?"

Ling Feng put down his spoon. "If there is someone dares to date her, I'll hit him first. Let's see who will dare then."

"Yeah, and I'll torn down their entire family." Ling Huansheng calmly finished his food.

If Ling Yue heard their words, she would vomit and roared, "I'm gonna be a spinster!! You despicable brothers!"

Ling Yue sneezed. She leaned her bag over her shoulder and entered the office. She handed over the documents to the receptionist. The receptionist smiled politely and drove her to the floor where the public relations department was, before informing her boss of Ling Yue's arrival.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Ling." the boss asked her to sit. The man was in his thirties. His hair neatly combed in place, his nose dipped slightly, his body was proportional where all the fat in it place. He didn't look bad.

"I checked all the documents you sent, and gladly accepted you as a partner here. But this is the only number we can offer, considering that this law firm is not too largle." Du Zhuang smiled brightly. The woman infront of him gave a pleasant vibe, even though her glasses and her bangs covered her face.

"No problem, Mr. Du. Thank you. I will help you as best as I can and make sure you won't disappoint for accepting me."

"Just don't make a trouble out there." The corner of his lips raised slightly. He offered his hand and they shaked hands to seal their cooperation.

"May I ask why you joining our law firm, Miss Ling?" Du Zhuang talked casually. He asked her assistant for coffee after asking Ling Yue about that.

Ling Yue thought what answer should be given that did not offend her new boss. And then she came up with, "This office is the nearest law firm from my house..."

Du Zhuang chuckled.

"...and I hate traffic jam," she added. Her answer make him laughed.

"Poor traffic jam. I mean, with your resume alone, you can go to the top law firm in here. But, indeed. It's quite far from your home. And the traffic isn't joking."

He added. "But rest assured. Even DuChen's not at the top, we are among the best."

Ling Yue liked this boss. He accepted wholeheartly his law firm not the first rank, but didn't look inferior nor shamed.

Ling Yue was sure Du Zhuang wondered why she didn't choose the top law firm. Besides avoiding the elite class, she didn't want to be an ambitious career woman.

One day, if Ling Yue is married, she wants to quit her job, focusing on being a mother and wife. If she was too ambitious, she will considering her husband and children as obstacles to her career. But if later she still wants to work after having a family, she can resume her work more ease.

They chat for awhile. Du Zhuang handed her a thick file. "You will handle this case. Learn this then tell me what should do. Miss Gu there will show where your room." He pointed at his assistant before dismissed her.
