Fortunately, the atmosphere was not awkward for a long time. Helen and her husband started the process of the banquet on the stage, thanking people from all walks of life for coming, and especially thanking Lu Licheng for coming all the way to the banquet.

Ye Zhen stood beside him, watching him raise his glass to signal to the stage.

"Are you the man's relative or friend?" He turned his head slightly and asked her.

"No," she replied, "I'm a friend of Helen's, and I was invited by her."

He raised his eyebrows: "I've never heard her say that before."

"We just met, and she had already resigned at that time." She said, "But I heard her talk about you, and I immediately thought that fate is really wonderful." She laughed.

"Yeah, I never thought I'd see you again." He lowered his head and played with the champagne glass, "It's been... five years."

Her heart skipped a beat, and she forced a smile: "It's been five years since we met last time."

Then Lu Licheng didn't speak any more, just drank in a muffled voice.

The last time they met, they stood in opposing positions, and he didn't need to say a word at all, as long as he stood there, he would let her drop her armor.

"I'm sorry about Fang Wei." He said after a minute of silence.

"There's nothing to be sorry for. The senior also said that he is obsessed with ghosts and has nothing to do with us."

"At that time, I didn't expect that he would invite you over from Beijing, so... there was no room for it." He said, "I'm sorry, I..."

"Isn't this just your character?" She held the cup tightly with her fingers, and smiled sweetly, "No matter who the opponent is, you will stick to your own way, so there is no need to apologize. It is my negligence as a defense lawyer. I could have salvaged a little bit."

"Zhenzhen..."

"Stop talking, it's all in the past, today is Helen's day, can we... can we stop talking about the past." She looked up at his face, and was surprised to find that he was staring at her, and suddenly met his deep eyes .

In his eyes were the gentleness she was familiar with, and the maturity she was not familiar with.

Her voice suddenly stopped in her throat.

I wanted to say something, but found that apart from exchanging pleasantries, the only thing left to each other was hurt.

"I..." she said in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Turning around and putting down the cup, grabbing the handbag and running away.

Rushing into the bathroom and closing the door, she leaned against the door and bit her lower lip.

The suppressed breath gradually let go, turning into a choked sob.

Sure enough, no matter how long they were apart, no matter how many times she thought she had let go, when they met again, she still couldn't control herself.

Turning on the faucet, she put her hands on the sink, cried enough, and looked up at her face.The eyes were red and swollen, the mascara was waterproof and did not smear, but the eye shadow was smeared, she took some water with her hands to wash it off, dried it with a paper towel and reapplied the makeup. After 5 minutes, the makeup was exquisite again Attorney Ye.

It was the time when the atmosphere of the banquet was at its highest, and she didn't meet anyone all the way here. Now she opened the door to go out, but was startled by the people leaning against the wall.

"Boss Lu." She greeted her and was about to leave, but was stopped by that man.

"Zhenzhen." Lu Licheng called her.

"What's the matter?" She didn't look back, she just stood there and asked.

She dared not look at him, not even a glance.

"It's hard to meet once, can't we talk for a while?" He asked.

"What can I say?" She asked, lowering her head to look at the toes of her shoes, the ten-centimeter pointed silver high-heeled shoes, "We... It seems that we have nothing to do with each other for a long time."

And three seconds later, her arm was pulled.

"Why?" he asked in a low voice.

"What why?" she said.

"Why did you change all the numbers later?" He asked, "Even if it's a breakup, why don't you give me a way to contact you?"

"That's all in the past. I don't want to have any contact with the past, Lu Licheng." She lowered her head and said ruthlessly, "I don't want to have any contact with you."

"Are you really so cruel?" He asked, "Can't we be friends after breaking up?"

"The person I fell in love with at the first sight, how can I be a friend?" She raised her eyes and looked at him firmly, "You know how to be friends when you know we are separated, Lu Licheng, you can really be friends with me at ease. ?"

"Zhenzhen..."

"Don't call me that!" she said, "Mr. Lu, you are Helen's boss. We might just have this chance to meet. So today, let's make it clear that we will never owe each other again, how about it?"

Lu Licheng held her arm tightly, and said softly, "Okay." He said, "It's not convenient here, let's talk in another place."

He let go of her hand and walked out the door.

Ye Zhen lowered her head and sent a text message to Helen while walking, saying that she had something to deal with at the moment, so she had to leave first.

Then he turned off the phone screen and stuffed it into his handbag.

Lu Licheng hailed a taxi and asked Ye Zhen to sit in the back seat, but he himself sat in the co-pilot.

"Houhai." He said.

The taxi driver responded and the car started.

Ye Zhen opened the rear window, put her elbows on the window, and watched the busy traffic in Beijing.

"Look at your attire, have you just attended a banquet?" The driver strikes up a conversation in a sophisticated way, "What's your job, buddy?"

"Investment." Lu Licheng answered briefly.

"Investing to make money these days! Everyone who has some money in their hands is thinking about how to make money with it. More and more people are buying stocks and funds..."

The driver chattered all the way, and Lu Licheng responded occasionally. The atmosphere was not awkward, and he just arrived in Houhai.

All the way through, Lu Licheng also gave the driver a lot of investment advice based on his own experience, which obviously won his heart. He heard it was professional. After getting off the car, the driver took the money and stuck his head out of the window to say hello: "Come on, you guys have fun!"

He nodded in response, but saw that Ye Zhen was already walking in the direction of Qingcheng with her bag.

Both Lao Luo and his wife Jessica were there, and he was surprised to see them come together.

"Yo, rare guest!"

Lao Luo greeted Lu Licheng strangely, and hugged Lu Licheng's shoulder with a big smile, "Come on! Daughter-in-law, let me introduce you!"

"This is the Lu Licheng I've been mentioning to you, Ellie..."

"Elliott." Lu Licheng smiled and said, "Hello."

Jessica laughed and said, "I've heard about you before, but I didn't expect you to be so handsome!"

"Hey, I'm still here!" Lao Luo snorted dissatisfied.

Jessica hurriedly leaned over and kissed him on the face: "Sweety, you are thebestone!" Then she turned her head and greeted Ye Zhen: "comeonAnne, I have your favorite cappuccino today, let me make it!"

"Okay!" Ye Zhen showed a smiling face at this moment, and forced a smile, "It's a blessing."

"Sit down first. The band here is about to start. Listen first and give me some advice. I'll make drinks for you two myself later!" Lao Luo said.

"You are busy, so you don't need to greet us." Lu Licheng said, "How many times have you been here?"

"Okay, okay! Feel free! I'll call Lao Wei later and ask him to come and accompany you guys so you don't get drunk!" Lao Luo laughed and walked towards the bar.

Lu Licheng followed Ye Zhen to the corner seat and sat down. Ye Zhen flipped through the magazine left and right, never looking up at him.

"You... come here often later?"

"Well, I come here often, because I don't have many friends, Lao Luo and Feng Qing will ask me to come for dinner, and Xiaoxiao also comes here occasionally, but now she has been taken to Shanghai by Ji Nian, so she can't accompany me." She explained calmly.

"Unexpectedly, you two became friends in the end." Lu Licheng said with a smile, "Is their coffee still so bad?"

Ye Zhen paused in her hand: "After Jessica came, she got better."

"That's good." Lu Licheng took the magazine from her hand, "At least there are some merits besides the band."

"Want to listen to songs? I'll order two?" He asked suddenly.

"No, I don't want to hear it." Ye Zhen shook her head.

"Zhenzhen..."

"I really don't want to, Mr. Lu, don't take care of me deliberately." She said a little stiffly.

"Then what do you want to do now?"

"I want to drink, tell Jessica not to make coffee, I don't really want to drink sweet things." She reached out to look for the waiter, but was stopped by Lu Licheng: "I'll go find it."

Then he walked to the back of the bar with ease.

Ye Zhen sat there in a daze, the magazine in her hand never turned a page.

"What am I doing..." she whispered, frowning.

Why did you come here with him?

Why didn't she know how to react when he spoke?

Wake up, Ye Zhen, he is Lu Licheng.

You... have nothing to do with each other anymore, have you?

The band started to play, and she froze instantly.

The soft and gentle tune, mixed with memories, surged out of control.

Her hand clenched the pages of the book more and more tightly, and in almost a second, she was about to throw away her armor and rush out the door.
