Despite what has been said, Helen has sent an invitation, asking her to be there when the time comes.

Ye Zhen pulled out her head from the files overflowing the table, knocked on the table and rubbed her eyebrows.

The case was finally settled out of court. She prepared a lot of arguments, but in the end the problem was settled with the money from the boy's parents.

I have to say that this society has really been corrupted by money, who can still not forget the original intention?

Ban Xia came to news that she was in New Zealand and was going back to China, and asked her if she wanted to bring anything.She thought about it and typed a few words: Just bring you back.

They haven't seen each other for a long time, and they haven't seen each other since that incident five years ago.

In 2009, it was destined to be the past that she refused to face.

When Banxia returned to China in 2009, she was already a well-known photographer. Many magazines rushed to ask her to be the chief, but she refused.

In 2009, Ye Zhen was already a key lawyer in the law firm. Although she was young, her strength should not be underestimated.

In 2009, Fang Wei, the investment director of MG China's Shanghai headquarters, was suspected of selling commercial secrets, and was sued by his subordinate Lu Licheng in court. Fang Wei specially invited Ye Zhen from Beijing to defend him, but ended up losing the lawsuit.

At the end of the year, Ban Xia followed Fang Wei and returned to America.

And Lu Licheng became famous in one fell swoop because of this case, and he was crowned as investment director in less than half a year. This year, he was less than 30 years old.

Ye Zhen knew what Helen said in the past, because it was her mistake in court that caused the difficult situation to end.

Ban Xia later said that she could be rational and calm at any time, except when she saw Lu Licheng.

That person was like a spell for her, crushing and reshaping her heart at every turn, making it harder than before.

Ye Zhen always remembered that in the small court in Shanghai, she and Lu Licheng stood opposite each other. He was wearing a slim suit, and the evidence was convincing. He talked eloquently, without looking at her, while she was in a daze and didn't know what to say, and finally lost the case.

This is the first time Ye Zhen has lost a complete defeat in her five years as a lawyer, and she is convinced.

She drank a lot of wine that day and cried heartbroken while hugging Pinellia. Fang Wei poured himself a drink and stroked her back to comfort her.

"Senior, I hurt you, don't comfort me." She said in tears.

Fang Wei smiled: "I know this is the ending, so it doesn't matter if you hurt me or not, Zhenzhen, you have tried your best, I know." He drank a glass of white wine, "I know it all."

His face was indifferent, but his smile was bitter.

This case, which originally had a glimmer of hope, cost him his entire family and property, and he could no longer gain a foothold in the financial world, so he had to leave his hometown.

Since then, she and Fang Wei have never seen each other again. The boy who said "Junior girl, come and join our club" in front of the signboard of the radio station, and the boy who was sitting in the car fastened her seat belt and said, "I hope you really don't want to." "Regret" man, the man who has never stopped emailing every month, because of her uneasiness, her mistakes, and her unsteadiness in the face of the past, she has become a laughing stock in the financial world.

And he actually said, you have tried your best, I know.

He smiled lightly, as if he didn't care about anything.

Since then, there have been no e-mail greetings, and she has never heard from him again.Until Ban Xia told her that she would also go to the United States to find Fang Wei.

Even as a friend, you should comfort him at this time, it has nothing to do with love, nothing to do with the past, Ban Xia's heart has always been firm, so Ye Zhen is the only one left in the huge Beijing city.

The phone rang, pulling Ye Zhen back from memory, it was Feng Xiaoluo calling.

"If you don't raise your baby well, why are you calling to harass me and show off?" She held the phone in one hand and fetched a coffee cup in the other, standing up and exercising her muscles.

"My barrister asked me to tell you that in the face of my increasingly emaciated me, he regretted that he didn't go all the way to the dark to chase you." Feng Xiaoluo said with a smile.

"Please tell Lawyer Jing, Mrs. Jing," Ye Zhen couldn't help laughing, "Women will become discounted commodities as they grow older, not to mention Mrs. Jing who has given birth to a child, and now Lawyer Ye is also [-]% off."

"So miserable?" Feng Xiaoluo exclaimed, "The doctor I introduced to you last time has a Beijing hukou with a car, a house, a father and no mother, I think it's pretty good."

"He's a gynecologist. I don't think he's interested in me after seeing so many weird..." She said calmly, "He's not bad, but his mouth is too slippery. He is a gynecologist but You have to make yourself the idol of middle-aged and elderly women. And, you are too young."

"You don't want to introduce uncle to you. I thought you liked handsome boys. It seems that you don't like this kind of thing?"

"A friend of mine once said to me, Mrs. Jing, I think it is very suitable for you." She said with a smile, "Women who fall in love and get married are subconsciously matchmakers. Congratulations, you have entered the ranks of middle-aged and elderly women."

"He's kind enough to help you!" Feng Xiaoluo frowned.

"Don't, don't, don't get pregnant, or Lawyer Jing will settle accounts with me!" Ye Zhen looked at her watch, "I have to go to a party tonight, it's getting late, so let's not talk about it. "

"Remember to keep an eye on the handsome guy! You're over 30! It's unreasonable not to find a boyfriend with such good conditions!" Feng Xiaoluo muttered like a child.

"Anlaanla."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Zhen went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup. It had been a long time since the off-duty time, and there was basically no one in the law firm, only two interns were still working overtime.

"Miss Ye Zi is still leaving?" a boy asked.

"Just left, why are you still working?" She responded with a smile.

"She's going to court tomorrow, and I haven't prepared all the documents today, so don't go up and make trouble. If this is not the case, I will take care of her." As soon as she finished speaking, the girl slapped him shyly.

Ye Zhen smiled slightly: "Then you are busy, I will leave first, don't be too late."

"Well, goodbye, Miss Ye Zi!" The boy's voice was full of vitality.

Ye Zhen walked into the parking lot and took the long dress from the back seat of her car.Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the parking lot, he quickly changed his clothes, and then drove to the restaurant mentioned in the invitation.

Helen's husband is considered an elite in the financial world, and most of the people invited this time were people Ye Zhen had dealt with before, which saved her from the embarrassment of being alone at the banquet.

Just as she politely talked about some policy changes with an executive, and the two laughed tacitly, Helen's voice was suddenly heard.

"President?"

The sound is not loud, but it is enough for the people around to hear it, and many people look forward to it.

Ye Zhen only felt that her fingers were stiff, the hand holding the champagne glass began to tremble, and even her facial expression was out of shape.She froze to put down the cup, propping up the table with her hands, fingers entangled in the white tablecloth.

"Well, I heard Mr. Gao said that you are hosting a banquet here today, so you became an uninvited guest. I hope you didn't disturb the elegance of your colleagues."

There was a smile in his voice, the kind of doting smile she was most familiar with, even after many years, she would still remember the smile he whispered in her ear.

Lu Licheng...

It's Lu Licheng...

Her fingers became tighter and tighter, tears swirled in her eyes unconsciously, and finally fell down and hit the edge of the tablecloth.

"I'm so honored to bother you!" Helen's husband said with a smile, "We still meet each other in Shanghai, Mr. Lu, what a fate!"

"It just so happens that I came to Beijing on a business trip. It's also a coincidence. We will meet each other naturally." Lu Licheng said, "This time you are the protagonists, so don't ask me to be a witness for the wedding. People have heard that I am so old and there is no definite number. Come down and tell me."

After he said this, everyone present laughed.

Ye Zhen heard that there was something in his words, she was crying but couldn't hold back her laughter.

The banquet returned to calm, and the cups of wine were intertwined with the fragrance of clothes and temples.

Everyone around Ye Zhen also walked away, only she didn't dare to face the people around her because she had just cried, and stayed in front of the champagne table staring at the tablecloth in a daze.

Someone took a glass of champagne from her side and walked away. She felt it for a while, but she couldn't see that person walking away.

Turning around to look, I was facing that familiar but unfamiliar face.

"Long time no see, Zhenzhen." Lu Licheng said with a smile.

Ye Zhen's face froze. She knew that her makeup might be a little faded, but she tried her best to smile and stretched out her right hand.

"Well, long time no see, Lu Licheng." She said softly.

Palms touching, so warm, yet so cold.
