Chapter 26 - A secret

Xi Jian did not reply. Ling Yue began to feel annoyed again. Finally she spoke, "Let's talk about what happened last time. What makes you still angry?" Ling Yue stabbed where it hurt.

Xi Jian looked at her sharply. "I wonder, aren't you studying out there? How can you be so shameless and claimed not an a stupid? I heard that you are a great lawyer, but your own case isn't solved yet and you walk casually without a guard."

Oh don't forget about that boyfriend. Xi Jian was getting even more annoyed and annoyed staring at her.

Ling Yue furrowed her brows. "What case?"

Xi Jian narrowed his eyes. Trying to find Ling Yue's lies or pretenses, there was none. "I see ... a secret will stay as a secret," he said.

"What secret? Can you please talk in human language?" Ling Yue deliberately insulted him.

"Don't think about it. Before I talk in human language, you should first set your brain to human capacity. Ouch!"

Ling Yue smiling satisfied, after kicking Xi Jian's feet under the tablecloth. Xi Jian gritted his teeth. If the person in front of him was not a woman, Xi Jian would payback her treatment tenfold. The tip of Ling Yue's shoes was lodged in his shins. It really hurts.

"You should marry the mannequin you saw before, because no one will want to marry a barbarian like you." Xi Jian sneered.

Ling Yue was ready to launch a second kick under the table, but Xi Jian turned his foot away faster.

"I didn't expect a cassanova like you change like an old man, grumbling about small things," she retorted back.

"What?" Xi Jian glared at her.

"I didn't expect to see you, where is He Luo?" Ling Feng suddenly appeared and sat next to Ling Yue.

"Thank God you arrived, I almost sewed her mouth." Xi Jian wiped his mouth and stood up.

Ling Feng looked at him confused. "What do you mean?"

"Make sure your stupid sister stays in her comfort zone. I'll go first." Xi Jian walked away, looking a little strange on his right foot.

"Is his leg hurt again?" Ling Feng seems worried, ignored his friend remarked. Ling Yue looked at him asking. "What's again?"

"Back then ... no, no, that's fine." Ling Feng waved his hand. "Are you done?"

Ling Yue returned to her office. Chen Liang immediately approached her when he knew Ling Yue was in her own room.

"Miss Ling, can you accompany me to the party tonight?" Chen Liang held out a VIP invitation for him. Since Chen Liang saw her true face in Du Zhuang's room, he had been looking for an excuse to meet Ling Yue.

"What party?"

"A birthday party. One of the company's priority clients invited our representatives to be there. Du Zhuang is busy, I don't want to come alone."

Ling Yue opened the invitation. The party was held at seven in the evening, now it was four o'clock. and there was a dresscode.

"I don't think I can. I won't be able to go home to get ready."

"You don't need to worry, you just have to nod and I'll arrange everything." Chen Liang itchy wanted to make Ling Yue immediately nod.

Ling Yue came as Chen Liang's partner and as a DuChen's representative. Chen Liang felt a little disappointed, Ling Yue chose to keep wearing her glasses, even though her bangs did not cover the whole forehead. But still, Chen Liang couldn't show off to his friends the thing he said before.

The party was not very lively and Ling Yue was bored. She avoided Chen Liang's friends when she had the chance.

"What are you doing here?" the familiar voice was heard. Ling Yue looked up and found Ling Huansheng standing not far from her. A glass of red wine in his hand, and the look on his face was no better than Ling Yue. Instantly Ling Yue felt better.

"Ha, of course I came to party. But it's boring here." she approached her brother. Ling Huansheng reached out and covered his forehead with Ling Yue's bangs. Ling Yue grumbled.

"Who are you coming with?" Ling Yue looked around for her brother's partner that night, there was no beautiful or sexy woman next to him.

Like he could read Ling Yue's mind, Ling Huansheng flicked his forehead. "Of course I came alone. Why should bring a stranger?" he asked, "but because you're here, you should be my partner." Ling Huansheng put her arm around her with his free hand.

The party became not so bad, finally Ling Huansheng found one person he knew, among the colleagues he had just met.

"Ho, you can't. I came with my coworkers." Ling Yue pointed at Chen Liang. "There he is."

Ling Huansheng immediately disliked him. "Stay away from that man. I don't like him."

The poor Chen Liang sneezed. "Yeah, yeah... who will you like then?" Ling Yue pouted.
