Regretful Beijing Marriage

Jiang Yining turned her head upon hearing the sound.

She smiled slightly at Zhou Xubai's gentle, smiling gaze.

"Of course, no problem. Everyone in the law firm can come, and I'll cover all the expenses."

Zhao Jia, who was standing to the side, immediately brightened up and clapped her hands with a smile.

"Ningning is so generous!"

After saying that, she tactfully grabbed the documents and ran off, making room for everyone to go out and inform them.

The office quieted down.

Zhou Xubai walked to the desk opposite Jiang Yining and sat down.

His gaze lingered on her face for two seconds.

Even after the fever subsided, her face was still a little pale.

A faint bluish tint appeared under his eyes.

"Are you really okay last night? Are you still holding on?"

"It's alright, don't worry."

Jiang Yining shook her head gently, her brows and eyes relaxing slightly.

She paused, then looked at Zhou Xubai intently.

"Also, Xu Bai, thank you."

Zhou Xubai was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised.

"Why are you suddenly thanking me?"

"If it weren't for your mediation and help, this public opinion storm wouldn't have subsided so quickly."

Jiang Yining expressed her sincere gratitude.

Having lived in a wealthy family for so many years, she couldn't possibly be so clueless as to not understand this.

Without intervention, public opinion cannot be resolved so quickly.

If Ji Shu had taken action, she would have called herself long ago and given those people a good scolding.

They might even rush over to protect her.

So there's only one possibility left.

Zhou Xubai smiled.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed the words back down.

He did indeed use his connections to suppress the news.

But the fact that public opinion was able to turn around so quickly has little to do with him.

As for who it was, he had a guess, but didn't want to say.

Zhou Xubai smiled gently and silently accepted the thanks.

Just then, Jiang Yining's phone rang.

It was a message from Fang Zhengping.

"Little girl, that suit from last time is finished. When are you free to bring someone to try it on? It can be altered if it doesn't fit."

Jiang Yining was slightly surprised.

I didn't expect Mr. Fang's custom-made suit to arrive so quickly.

I happen to have nothing to do today.

She looked up at Zhou Xubai and asked.

"By the way, Xu Bai, when are you free lately?"

"I'm available anytime."

Jiang Yining didn't speak, but glanced at Zhou Xubai.

His eyes held a clear suspicion.

He's a company owner, and also a lawyer.

How could they possibly be free?

Seeing this, Zhou Xubai added another sentence.

"Ningning, I'm not lying to you, there really isn't much work at the law firm lately."

When he said this, his tone became a little calmer, the slight curve of his lips was still there, but his eyes darkened.

Jiang Yining's heart skipped a beat when she saw Zhou Xubai's expression.

As expected, Zhou Xubai was implicated by his own actions.

The fact that the law firm has few cases is undoubtedly related to Fu Huaiyan.

Jiang Yining felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

Her fist clenched and unclenched repeatedly.

In the end, he just opened his mouth naturally.

"Xu Bai, don't be sad, everything will be alright, things will only get better from now on."

She'll get her revenge on Fu Huaiyan sooner or later!

But right now, she doesn't have that ability yet.

Zhou Xubai looked at Jiang Yining, a subtle emotion shifting in his eyes.

I believe you.

At the door, Ling Qi, who had come to deliver the documents, happened to witness this entire scene.

She stopped in her tracks, her heart filled with shock.

He remained completely unmoved, put down the documents, and turned to leave.

If the employees heard what the boss said, they would probably be shocked.

The law firm has been extremely busy lately.

The files are piling up like a mountain.

The fact that the boss can come to Miss Jiang's place every day is because he has turned down most of the collaborations.

What terrified Ling Qi even more was the way her boss had just acted weak and pitiful.

Is this still their leader who slaughters Guofa?

That's terrifying.

Ling Yi was right after all.

The eldest brother cherishes Miss Jiang dearly.

From now on, I must work even better.

Ling Qi cheered herself up, quickened her pace, and went back to work.

Jiang Yining was completely unaware of this; she checked the time.

"Xu Bai, are you free now? I'll take you somewhere."

"Can."

Jiang Yining replied to Fang Zhengping's message.

They then went downstairs together.

As Jiang Yining went downstairs, she took out her car keys.

"Xu Bai, I'll drive you there today, is that alright?"

"My pleasure."

Zhou Xubai smiled and got into the passenger seat.

When they arrived at the tailor shop, Fang Zhengping was already waiting at the door.

Upon seeing Jiang Yining, she greeted her with a beaming smile.

When he saw Zhou Xubai get out of the passenger seat, his eyes shone even brighter.

Zhou Xubai, with a composed and proper demeanor, took the initiative to step forward and greet him.

"Hello, Mr. Fang, I am Zhou Xubai."

"Come in quickly."

Fang Zhengping kept looking Zhou Xubai up and down, becoming more and more satisfied with the look.

"Not bad, not bad. The young man is much more presentable in person than in the news footage. His demeanor and appearance are excellent."

Jiang Yining knew immediately that the old woman was about to play matchmaker again.

They quickly changed the subject.

"Mr. Fang, let him go in and try on the clothes quickly, don't delay the alteration of the size."

"I understand."

Fang Zhengping saw through it but didn't say anything, smiled and nodded, and led Zhou Xubai into the fitting room.

When the curtain was drawn, she winked at Jiang Yining.

Jiang Yining was utterly helpless and pretended not to see it.

A few minutes later, the curtain was drawn back.

Zhou Xubai came out and stood in front of the dressing mirror, adjusting his cuffs.

Dark gray double-breasted suit.

The shoulder line was neatly cut and hugged his shoulder blades, and the waistline was perfectly fitted.

The lights shone down from above, making Zhou Xubai appear tall and slender.

Zhou Xubai straightened his clothes in front of the mirror, walked up to Jiang Yining, and smiled faintly.

"Ningning, so you specifically asked me for my size before because you wanted to have a suit custom-made for me."

"Hmm, do you like it?" Jiang Yining smiled gently, looking up at him.

The suit that Mr. Fang had custom-made is indeed very handsome.

Zhou Xubai's gaze fell on her face.

Beneath that smile lay something deeper, and her voice was warm.

I like everything you give me.

Fang Zhengping, who was standing to the side, watched with a smile and couldn't help but tease him.

"Alright, you two young people, stop being so lovey-dovey."

"Take a good look at the fit to see if it's right. If not, we can alter it now."

Jiang Yining knew that the old man loved to make a fuss.

The more you pay attention to him, the more excited he gets.

She didn't reply, but instead asked Zhou Xubai.

"Does it fit well? Are there any tight spots, and do you need any adjustments?"

Zhou Xubai looked down at the suit he was wearing, his smile undiminished.

"It fits perfectly."

As soon as he finished speaking, he inexplicably added a sentence.

"You know me very well."

Jiang Yining was slightly taken aback, not yet realizing the deeper meaning behind his words.

A voice suddenly rang out from behind.

"Mr. Zhou, what a coincidence."

Jiang Yining turned around upon hearing the sound and saw Song Ran standing not far away.

His gaze shifted back and forth between her and Zhou Xubai.

There was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Fang Zhengping immediately stopped smiling, frowned, and became somewhat impatient.

"Mr. Song, the two suits you ordered are ready."

"Have your assistant take you to get it; don't get in the way."

Song Ran widened her eyes and frowned.

"Mr. Fang, isn't this a bit too discriminatory?"

Fang Zhengping snorted and put the measuring tape on the table.

"My goddaughter is having clothes custom-made for her boyfriend. What are you doing, an outsider, bothering me?"
