After washing the dishes, Ji Xinqing walked out of the kitchen.
There was no one in the living room, so Bai Ran should be coaxing her to sleep.
Ji Xinqing hesitated for a long time before deciding to give Meng Qin Guan a call.
The matter of the divorce was something that she had considered for a long time before deciding.
There was no longer any need for her and Meng Qin to continue.
Since she was going to get a divorce tomorrow, she might as well say hello to Meng Qin Guan first.
Ji Xinqing walked to the balcony and dialed Meng Qinghou's number.
It had only rung three times when Meng Qin Guan answered the phone, "Hello?" Is it new? "
"It's me, Qin Guan." Ji Xinqing hesitated before she continued, "Qin Guan, I need to tell you something."
Meng Qinggrong had already informed Meng Qin Guan that Ji Xinqing could not miss tomorrow's lunch. Therefore, Meng Qin seemed to be trying to please Ji Xinqing.
"Hmm, tell me, Xinqing. I'm listening."
Previously when she had called him, he was clearly cold and impatient, but now …
Ji Xinqing frowned and suddenly felt that Meng Qin Guan's actions were weird.
Without thinking too much, Ji Xinqing held onto her phone and said word by word, "Qin Guan, tomorrow afternoon, let's get a divorce."
Meng Qin Guan did not reply. The phone went silent, but he could faintly feel heavy breathing coming from that end.
Ji Xinqing called out to him, "Qin Guan?"
"Xinqing, let's talk about the divorce when you come over tomorrow. Alright, it's getting late. Hurry up and go to sleep. I'm hanging up."
"Qin Guan." Ji Xinqing quickly called out to him, but the call ended.
Looking at her phone, Ji Xinqing frowned.
Shouldn't Meng Qin Guan be very positive about the divorce? Wasn't the Canon his first love?
But why was Meng Qin looking at him? It was as if he was intentionally avoiding this matter.
Doesn't he want to divorce me?
When Bai Ran came out of her bedroom and saw Ji Xinqing on the balcony, she asked, "Xinqing, who are you calling?"
Ji Xinqing shook her head and replied with a smile, "It's nothing. It's just a matter of work."
They went back to the bedroom.
The next day was Monday.
Ji Xinqing did not return to the Meng Family early in the morning.
She was no longer the previous Guild Master. She would not casually take up a job.
The butler called seven or eight times, all to ask if she had gone back to the Meng family.
Ji Xinqing tactfully indicated that she was still at work and would only return after work.
The butler told Meng Qinggrong everything that Ji Xinqing had said. Meng Qinggrong could only sigh and not say anything. However, his gaze was constantly on the door of the Meng Family residence.
By the time he got off work, it was already eleven o'clock.
Ji Xinqing, on the other hand, was not anxious at all. It was already half past eleven when she returned to the Meng Clan.
He had thought that since she had come so late, his mother-in-law would scold her.
It was strange, however, that Grandma's attitude was vastly different from what it had been in the past.
Before they entered the living room, Wang Jianfen walked over with a smile. She took out the slippers that Ji Xinqing usually wore and handed them to her. "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and put them on."
"Thank you, Mom." Even though she found it strange, Ji Xinqing still thanked him softly.
Ji Xinqing bent down to change her shoes, but when she stood up again, Wang Jianfeng approached her and gave her a good pinch.
Ji Xinqing frowned in pain.
Sure enough, how could her mother-in-law treat her well? Ji Xinqing's face turned cold as she called out, "Mom."
Wang Jianfen's hands did not stop moving as he pinched her harder and harder.
"Ji Xinqing, I'm warning you, don't speak nonsense to me when Lawyer Xu arrives!" Did you hear the look in Qin Guan's eyes?! "
Ji Xinqing looked at Wang Jianfen quietly.
Wang Jianfen was clearly smiling, but his expression was sinister and vicious.
Ji Xinqing finally reacted. This was not calling her to eat, this was clearly asking her to come over and act!
Pushing Wang Jianfeng aside, Ji Xinqing walked into the living room. Wang Jianfeng caught up to her, "Ji Xinqing, did you hear what I just said?"
The smile on Ji Xinqing's face slowly faded as she walked up to Meng Qinggrong, "Dad."
Meng Qingrong glared at Wang Jianfen and Wang Jianfen gave up. He then said to Ji Xinqing, "Xinqing, you just got off work. Are you hungry? But Lawyer Xu hasn't arrived yet. Let's wait a bit longer. "
"Got it, Dad." Ji Xinqing walked into the kitchen to help the butler.
Time slowly passed. However, the customer that Meng Qingrong mentioned did not come over.
There was nothing to do in the kitchen. Ji Xinqing returned to the living room and walked over to see Meng QIngwen, who was sitting on the sofa. "Qin Guan."
Meng Qin Guan's expression became stiff, but he still smiled at Ji Xinqing and gently called out to her, "Xinqing."
There was a sudden sound of an engine outside the door.
Meng Qinggrong stood up excitedly, "It's here! Lawyer Xu is here! "
Meng Qin Yan stood up and held Ji Xinqing's hand. With a warning look in his eyes, he smiled and said, "Xinqing, let's eat first. We'll talk about that after the meal."
It had been a long time since she had physical contact with Meng Qin. Ji Xinqing was a little repulsed, so she subconsciously pulled away from his hand, "Got it."
At this moment, a burst of hearty laughter came from outside the door. Meng Qin Guan immediately held Ji Xinqing's hand.
A trace of conflict flashed in Ji Xinqing's eyes. However, since the guests had already entered, she could only silently accept it.
The man walked up to Meng Qinggrong, stretched out his hand and said in a calm voice, "Sorry, chairman Meng. I was working on a case just now and the lawyer took some time to settle it. I'm late."
Meng Qinggrong was a bit excited. His hand that was holding the man was clearly trembling, "No, no. Lawyer Xu, for you to spare the time to come here is already giving me a lot of face."
The man laughed again.
His gaze quickly landed on Ji Xinqing, who had her head lowered.
Meng Qinggrong signaled to Meng Qin. Meng Qin Lie immediately hugged Ji Xinqing's waist intimately and introduced her to the man, "Mr. Xu, this is my wife, Ji Xinqing."
He then said to Ji Xinqing, "Xinqing, this is Mr. Xu, Xu Ge."
Ji Xinqing had no choice but to look up and force out a smile, "Lawyer Xu, hello."
Xu Ge was only in his early thirties. He had a well-defined face with thick and moderate lips, and his every move exuded the charm of a mature man.
Unlike the smile he had used to deal with Meng Qinggrong, the smile in his eyes was sincere. He extended his hand slowly and said, "Madam Meng."
Ji Xinqing also had no choice but to extend her hand.
Ji Xinqing was no stranger to the name Xu Ge.
It wasn't just because Xu Ge was the most famous person in the legal world, but also because her father, Ji Hong, often praised him in her ear.
Xu Ge was Ji Hong's favorite student.
His father had good eyes. Those who could be praised by him were the top of their line.
Ji Xinqing looked at Xu Ge and said naturally, "Father often whispers about you in my ears. Lawyer Xu, I've finally met you today."
Xu Ge raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Really?" Back when I was by Teacher Ji's side, he often dismissed me as worthless. I had always thought that Teacher Ji hated this student of mine. "
As expected of a lawyer, the tense atmosphere suddenly became lighter.
