Accusations of not wanting to marry: The prosecutor pressed him relentlessly.
Chapter 45 Don't expect my blessings; I'll see how long you two can keep this up.
On Monday morning, Mu Wangbei got up half an hour early to prepare coffee and sandwiches for Fang Youxi.
Fang Youxi also got up early today and said she didn't need to. She had fieldwork today and needed to bring coffee for her colleagues, so she could just buy a sandwich while she was at it.
She didn't let Mu Wangbei drive her; she called a car herself, saying she was afraid of traffic jams that would delay him from getting to work.
When we arrived at Lutong Building, it was still early, so we ordered nine coffees and sandwiches from the coffee shop downstairs and had them delivered to the conference room.
On Monday, there were six people in Lu Tong's legal department working together, so there were seven of them including her. She bought breakfast for Lu Yanli and the secretary who delivered meals last time.
Seeing that there were copies available, I brought one for the client's boss; it wasn't anything particularly special.
Lu Yanli usually arrives at the office an hour early on Mondays.
Monday is busy. In the morning, there's a meeting to review the week's key tasks. Several department directors need to give a concise report on the week's priorities.
The weekly report and weekly plan were sent to the assistant's email on Sunday night. When Lu Yanli arrived, the printed plan was already prepared on the table. He would glance at it beforehand to shorten the meeting time and make it more efficient and quick, otherwise the whole day would be spent in meetings.
Lu Tong's senior management was used to the president's working style. Guo Yang, Lu Yanli's personal assistant, brought in sandwiches and coffee: "President Lu, this is what Attorney Fang bought for you. Secretary Fang hasn't arrived yet, so the director of the legal department brought it up."
"Fang Youxi gave it to me? She's here so early today?"
Of all the people in Lu Tong, only Guo Yang knew that Fang Youxi was the daughter of the Tang family and that the Lu and Tang families were related by marriage, because his wife was Lu Yanli's cousin.
"Yeah, it's Monday today, so they're probably worried about traffic."
Lu Yanli deliberately skipped a meal, wondering if Fang Youxi would forget what she had said. Sure enough, lawyers really do keep their word.
"Bring it here."
A hot latte and a smoked bacon sandwich; they were still warm when I touched them, so I must have just bought them downstairs.
I didn't expect her, the young lady, to make it herself; I'd be grateful if she could just buy it.
Lu Yanli was in a very good mood as he ate breakfast while reviewing documents.
After he finished eating and reading the documents, there were still fifteen minutes left before it was time to start work, just in time for the meeting.
Lu Yanli got up and personally delivered the approved documents to Guo Yang, asking him to organize them and distribute them during the meeting. However, he noticed that there was a breakfast set on the secretary's desk in the president's office that was exactly the same as his breakfast that morning.
The secretary's desk was empty; the person must not have arrived yet. Lu Yanli asked Guo Yang, "What's going on? Did you buy it?"
Guo Yang adjusted his glasses: "Attorney Fang bought it for Xiaoxue."
So even the secretary gets the same treatment as him?
Lu Yanli scoffed coldly: "She's so good at dealing with people."
Guo Yang hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should tell President Lu that Attorney Fang had bought nine servings of the same breakfast, and that he felt embarrassed to see him like that, so he said he would buy one for him next time.
Looking at Lu Yanli's face, she decided to give up.
At that time, he was unaware that the marriage alliance between the Lu and Tang families had fallen through. He thought to himself, "Don't make things difficult for President Lu; he's the most petty person."
At noon, Fang Youxi asked the legal director to tell the logistics staff not to prepare lunch for them, but to order Japanese sushi instead. The meeting room was filled with cheers. Attorney Fang was incredibly popular today, and everyone loved her.
Sure enough, Lu Yanli's lunch was also Japanese sushi.
The secretary was included as well.
Because of the mistake in the morning, Guo Yang's was made up for at noon.
Guo Yang received the exact same treatment as Lu Yanli at noon.
Lu Yanli took several breaths before he could barely hold back.
He sent a message to someone in the downstairs office: "If you order food for everyone again tonight, and I'm expected to eat all my meals in the office, I'll kill you, Fang Youxi. Don't you have any sincerity at all?"
Half an hour later, Fang Youxi replied: "No, no, Lu is so generous. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
In recognition of Lu Yanli's great self-sacrifice, Fang Youxi booked a sea cucumber restaurant, and the two of them also requested a private room.
From the moment she started ordering, Fang Youxi couldn't help but laugh. She just couldn't hold it in when she thought about Lu Yanli's reasons for breaking off the engagement.
Lu Yanli regretted going out to dinner with her.
"Are you ever going to shut up? Who the hell am I doing this for? How can you even laugh?"
"Hahahaha~" Fang Youxi laughed, her head resting on the table, her laughter growing even louder: "Lu Yanli, tell me, how did you come up with this reason? What were you thinking at the time?"
The two were no longer in an arranged marriage, so they no longer needed to pretend and could get along like friends, creating an incredibly relaxed atmosphere.
Lu Yanli was furious: "What else could I be thinking? My brain just went blank and my mouth just stammered. How did I end up with a devil like you? No wonder Tang Yi said Tang Ze called you a troublemaker. You really have caused a lot of trouble. Why did you come back? You were perfectly fine in Australia, but you came back to ruin my life."
Fang Youxi was still laughing when Lu Yanli added viciously, "There are so many men in the entire North City, why don't you go after Mu Wangbei?"
Thinking about this, he was still angry: "How exactly do you know him?"
Now they have successfully upgraded to allies again. Fang Youxi didn't hide anything from him: "Mu Wangbei once mistook someone else for someone else on a blind date. His blind date's surname was Tang. When he came in, he asked me if I was Miss Tang. I said I could be, and that's how we met."
Lu Yanli looked puzzled: This works too?
"He did it on purpose, didn't he? The number one expressionless man in Beicheng is actually a repressed pervert."
Fang Youxi was displeased: "You're not allowed to talk about him like that."
"You still dare to protect him!!!" Lu Yanli was so angry he was practically fuming.
Fang Youxi pushed the famous "Surfing Sea Cucumber" soup in front of his eyes: "I'll shut up, calm down and have some nourishment."
Although Lu Yanli is a bit stingy and lacks manners, he's actually a pretty good friend. You can't go wrong asking him for good food or fun things. He even offered his golf VIP card, sports hall VIP card, and reservation numbers for several private restaurants that aren't usually open to the public, determined not to eat Fang Youxi's meal for free.
Before they had finished eating, Lu Yanli brought the topic back to itself.
"You like him that much? What does he have that I don't?"
"Tsk." Fang Youxi said impatiently.
Lu Yanli looked embarrassed.
"Then tell me, what grudge do you have against him?"
Actually, there's nothing that can't be said. Lu Yanli pursed his lips: "The grudges of the previous generation are based on different perspectives, so it's hard to say who was right or wrong. I won't make excuses. My second uncle definitely had a problem with this, but he didn't deserve to die. Even if he was sentenced, it would be at most ten years. But he died like that. My grandfather couldn't get over it. The relationship between the two families is definitely over, and the feud between the two families can never be resolved. Now, it's already considered decent if we greet each other when we meet. I won't say anything more. It's pointless."
There was a life involved. Fang Youxi suppressed her smile and nodded, "I understand, I get it."
Lu Yanli retorted, "You neither want to get married nor have children? Do you think the Mu family will tolerate you?"
"What does this have to do with the Mu family? Anyway, Mu Wangbei agreed. People should have a sense of contract. We both studied law, so you don't need to worry about that."
"Hmph, don't expect me to wish you well. I'll see how long you two can keep this up."
"Don't worry about it, go get your infertility treated."
"Fang Youxi, you still dare to say that? I'll kill you."
Fang You wanted to start laughing again; she simply couldn't help it.
