Han Tao looked at the wine glass on the table, which still contained half of the wine, and smiled knowingly:
"I knew you'd suddenly stand me up. Something must have happened, or something upsetting must have come to mind. I'm just here to chat with you. Drinking alone is so boring!"
"How do you know everything? It's really annoying to feel like you've been seen through. Don't you understand?"
Xu Jie rolled her eyes at Han Tao, but she was still very happy in her heart.
"That's called being in tune with each other. Why do good words become sour when they come out of your mouth? You must be a monkey sent here to contradict me."
After saying that, Han Tao glanced at her, and said with a raised corner of his mouth: "Just tell me whether you want to eat it or not. If you don't eat it, I'll take it away!"
"Eat, why not?"
Seeing Han Tao turning around to leave, Xu Jie stopped him and said unhappily:
"Can't you be a gentleman? Put it down quickly. I'm starving."
After saying that, Xu Jie pulled Han Tao back to the table and opened the lunch box while saying:
"Aren't you going to drink with me? Hurry up and grab your own glass. I'm in a bad mood today, so don't expect me to serve you!"
Han Tao could see that she was in a bad mood today and was in a low mood, so he didn't tease her anymore. He just picked up the bottle and poured wine for both of them.
One sincerely wanted to get drunk, and the other wanted to keep him company, and soon both of them had drunk half a bottle of foreign liquor.
Xu Jie also gradually opened up her heart and talked a lot with Han Tao. In fact, she herself did not realize that Han Tao had already entered her heart.
She had just experienced a huge betrayal in her last relationship and lost her job because of her boyfriend. She had a strong sense of self-protection and a natural defense and rejection of intimate relationships.
But she happened to come to Shanghai at this time, a place where she was unfamiliar with the place, had neither family nor friends, and the lonely and empty life in the huge house was a huge gap from her previous rich life.
It was also in this situation that Han Tao's warmth, coupled with his previous rescue in the bar, gave her a natural sense of closeness.
Especially after getting to know him better, she discovered that Han Tao had many special experiences. He naturally exuded an aura that made people want to explore and get in touch with him.
"Han Tao, I'm curious, are you this nice to all girls?"
Looking at the somewhat drunk Xu Jie, Han Tao replied puzzledly: "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
"Because you always know what I want to say and do, and you respond to everything and make sure everything is taken care of. You never make me feel stressed, and you can guide me out of my frustrations just right."
After saying that, Xu Jie took a sip of wine and looked at Han Tao with squinted eyes.
Han Tao looked at her and smiled: "Why, isn't this good?"
"Okay, but this doesn't feel real to me. You've investigated my experience and should know the situation. That's why you're making it hard for me to see through you and grasp you. It feels like I could lose you at any moment..."
Han Tao looked at her drunken face and shook his head.
“The reason I treat you this way is because I see the loneliness in your heart and that there is too little love in your world.
Don't think too much. There is a limit to being a person and a degree to loving someone. If you don't give enough love, you will be disappointed. If you give too much, you will be bound.
I'm a man, not a boy! We're all adults, I can handle this. Just accept it and don't treat it as a burden."
"Haha, you are indeed different from ordinary men!"
"That's because you haven't met the right person yet. I only consider whether something is worth it. If I meet the right person, I will do my best, but if I meet the wrong person, I will stay away from them. I will never bother others impulsively just because it's new. I don't have the energy or time for that!"
Xu Jie finished her drink, stared at Han Tao and asked, "Haha, so you mean it's because I'm the worthy one, the right one?"
Han Tao smiled, did not answer, and kissed her directly. All words were pale and powerless, only actual action was the best way.
When love is deep, it naturally becomes stronger. When feelings are so strong, how can you bear to let go? When love is deep, there is no regret. What else can you ask for in the vicissitudes of life?

Chapter 19 Urging marriage
The next morning, after Han Tao finished washing up, Xu Jie had already prepared breakfast. In addition to the millet porridge and boiled eggs she cooked herself, she also bought two trays of buns.
Adult love is always fast-paced. Originally, Xu Jie no longer cares so much about matters between men and women because she has experienced failed relationships.
She didn't expect Han Tao to be so warm-hearted. After experiencing a heroic rescue, she impulsively had sex with Han Tao. She thought that the matter was over, but she didn't expect that it would happen again and she got deeper and deeper into it.
Her original family was not happy. Her parents divorced when she was very young, and her mother was only focused on pursuing her own happiness and did not care much about her.
She lacked family care since childhood. Although she looked like a strong woman on the surface, she was very lonely inside, as Han Tao said.
She longed for family affection and love, but was not ready to accept a new relationship so quickly.
Therefore, after finishing their meal, the two of them left for the law firm separately. Xu Jie said that it was because she didn't want her colleagues to care too much about her private life. Han Tao didn't say anything and nodded in agreement.
When Xu Jie arrived at the law firm, the lawyers who had great experience had already come to discuss a settlement with Chen Ran, but they still put forward harsh conditions with a try-it attitude.
Chen Ran and Xu Jie smiled at each other, pointed out the seriousness of the matter directly, and took out a questionnaire, indicating that no middle or senior management personnel had become pregnant while on the job for many years, and they had not employed a pregnant female employee for a long time. Naturally, the other party's lawyer Fang Pu had nothing to say.
Finally, after communicating with the senior management of Haohuodao, she could only come up with the second plan. The result was that Zheng Yan stayed in the job and Tang Rui was fired.
However, after Han Tao's advice, Chen Ran and Xu Jie have come up with a more rational way to deal with the matter. In order to ensure that Zheng Yan would not be liquidated afterwards, they proposed to accept out-of-court settlement and in-court mediation. Fang Pu had no choice but to leave the court.
Zheng Yan's case had come to an end, and Zhang Yu's case immediately followed. After a busy morning, before the three of them had time to sort out the case, Zhang Yu's ex-husband, Wang Chengyuan, had already found a lawyer and came to the law firm to negotiate with Chen Ran and her team.
During the conversation, neither party was willing to give in first and both wanted to fight for custody.
Finally, the initial contact ended with Xu Jie asking to see all of Wang Chengyuan's assets and financial situation.
After seeing off the other lawyer, it was almost time to get off work. In the reception room, the three of them briefly reviewed the information provided by the other party and discovered that Wang Chengyuan had already transferred his assets before the marriage. Therefore, even if he divorced Zhang Hui, Zhang Hui would not get a penny.
"Wang Chengyuan doesn't have any assets under his name, so Zhang Hui won't get a penny in the divorce. Isn't it obvious that the divorce was planned before they even got married?
It seems that wealthy people need to be cautious when getting married. It may seem glamorous, but only they know the ups and downs. Others may envy you, but it may not necessarily be a good thing for the person involved!
After the three of them returned to the office, Chen Ran's assistant Liu Fang couldn't help but complain.
"But the procedures they followed were flawless. I checked and there were no loopholes!"
Xu Jie walked to the desk with the documents, half-sitting on it, glanced at Chen Ran, and continued:
"Director Chen is indeed an expert in economic cases. He knew Wang Chengyuan had transferred property before the marriage, but he still made Zhang Yu sign the agreement!
However, considering Zhang Hui's intelligence and EQ, it's not ruled out that she signed the agreement with full knowledge. Therefore, the only way to break through is to find loopholes in this agreement! "He is ultimately loyal to his agent."
Chen Ran also sighed blankly, then rubbed his face helplessly, not knowing how to continue Xu Jie's words.
Xu Jie glanced at her and could only continue to analyze: "Since Director Chen is the lawyer hired by the Wang family for Zhang Yu, is he loyal to his client, or is he..."
Jingle Bell!
Before Chen Ran could say anything, the phone on her desk rang. It turned out that today was Chen Ran's daughter, Yangyang's birthday. An anxious Chen Ran had asked Liu Fang to buy a simple gift for her daughter, but Xu Jie, on the other hand, believed that gifts should be thoughtfully considered.
.........................................................
At the same time, Han Tao, who had been busy all day, also learned that Chen Ran and Xu Jie's new case had encountered trouble. As the chief lawyer of Group 2, he naturally had to help appropriately.
So he asked his assistant Luo Yun to notify all the lawyers in Group 2 to hold a meeting, one to summarize the victory in Zheng Yan's case and to encourage Chen Ran, Xu Jie and the other two.
The second thing is to understand the work at hand of others and provide some information and clues to the Zhang Hui case.
"Boss, the information is ready. You have 10 minutes."
Wendy knocked on the door and came in. She checked the time and handed the documents in her hand to Han Tao.
"Oh, thank you for your hard work, Wendy!" Han Tao looked up at Wendy and replied with a smile.
"It's not hard, I'll go with you!"
Han Tao stood up and nodded. Wendy handed him his coat at the right time and then tidied it up for him. The two smiled at each other and went straight to the meeting room.
Just before entering the door, his cell phone suddenly rang. Han Tao took out the phone from his pocket and saw that the caller was his grandmother.
"6 minutes left!"
Seeing that he was a little hesitant, Wendy looked at the watch on her wrist and considerately gestured to indicate the available time.
Han Tao smiled and nodded, then pointed to the folder, motioning her to go in and send the information first, and then answered the phone without hesitation:
"Hey grandma!"
"Well, I'm about to go to a meeting. What can I do for you?"
"Yes, I've already started working!"
"I know. Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself. I just took over the job and there are many things I need to familiarize myself with. I'll go back to see you and grandpa (grandfather) after I'm done with this!"
As Han Tao finished speaking, someone on the other end of the phone said something.
After a moment, a kind and gentle voice came out again, and she warned Han Tao:
"Okay, Grandma got it! You've just entered a new work environment, so you need to get along well with your colleagues. Your Grandpa asked me to tell you, don't rush home, get your work in order first!"
Han Tao nodded quickly and agreed, "Well, don't worry, grandma, you and grandpa take care of yourselves and don't let me worry.
Oh, and tell Grandpa to drink less. He's at this age, he needs to take care of his health!"
"Don't worry, I've forced your grandpa to quit drinking these past two days. As for you, kid, you need to hurry up and find a girlfriend. Get married and have children soon. While your grandpa and I are still healthy, I can help you take care of your great-grandchildren!"
On the other end of the phone, an old lady who looked to be in her sixties or seventies, with short gray hair and a blue apron tied around her neck, stood straight, and expressed her concern for Han Tao's marriage in a serious and earnest manner.
"Got it, Grandma. I still have to go to a meeting. I'll call you when I'm done!"
"Okay, go get busy. Remember to find a girlfriend quickly, or don't come back!"
Han Tao nodded helplessly and replied, "Don't worry, grandma. Your grandson is so outstanding, how could he not have a girlfriend? I'll bring one back for you later."
"Grandma, don't you know that girls like you? Don't play tricks on me. I want you to hurry up and give birth to a great-grandson!"
"Okay, I know. I've never lied to you. I'll definitely make sure it happens. Wait for my news. I can't say much more right now. I'm hanging up now!"
After hanging up the phone, Han Tao walked towards the meeting room with a wry smile on his face. He didn't expect that he couldn't escape the pressure to get married.

Chapter 20: Qu Xiaoxiao, the Disturbing Person
At 5:30 in the afternoon, the first meeting of the reorganized second group of Mingtang Law Firm ended. After receiving the information provided by Han Tao, Chen Ran called his senior brother Tian Mao as soon as the meeting was over.
Tian Mao knew that Chen Ran's life was not easy, so he went to the detention center without stopping after receiving the call. After completing the formalities, he handed the two lists to his master Chen Wenguang and explained the situation.
Finally, Tian Mao learned from his master Chen Wenguang that Zhang Yu was aware of the contents of the agreement in this case. His master Chen Wenguang also asked him to tell his daughter Chen Ran that she could look for the file in his hard drive.
When Chen Ran's husband Jian Peiran learned that his daughter was going to have dinner with her classmates outside, he agreed to go out for dinner with his junior sister Cao Hui. As a result, he was met by his daughter Yangyang.
When Chen Ran came home from get off work with the gift, Yangyang opened it and saw that it was a crystal ball and didn't like it. Seeing this, Chen Ran quickly apologized to her daughter.
Yangyang was also quite sensible, saying that she was too busy to worry about such a small matter. Thinking of her father having dinner with other women, she also told her mother Chen Ran, asking her to pay more attention to her father, and said that Chen Ran dressed too professionally and had no femininity.
At the same time, after work, Xu Jie received a call from her good friend Wu You, and the two made an appointment to have dinner together.
Lawyer Han, without his beauty by his side, finally went home. He had been staying at the Ode to Joy house for two or three days, but he had not slept at home at all.
Han Tao returned to Ode to Joy, had a simple meal, took a shower, changed into casual clothes and sat on the sofa.
He first made himself a pot of tea, and then began to look up information, organize and familiarize himself with the information of Jingyan Group.
“Boom, boom, boom, boom~boom, boom, boom, boom~boom~boom~boom, boom~boom~boom!”
Han Tao was engrossed in reading some information when he faintly heard music similar to that in a nightclub. He frowned, put down the information and listened carefully. The music was quite powerful and the sound seemed to be getting clearer and clearer.
After a quick thought, Han Tao knew what was going on. Since they were staying at Ode to Joy, there was no doubt that Qu Xiaoxiao from room 2203 downstairs had gathered a group of friends for a welcoming party.
Han Tao raised his wrist to check the time. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and there was still such a big commotion. These rich second-generations really had no sense of public morality.
You may not feel much when watching TV series on the screen, but you can only experience the feeling when you are in the scene yourself. Yao Bin really invested a lot of money. The audio equipment in Qu Xiaoxiao's room is definitely not cheap. The powerful music is extremely loud.
"No wonder Andy called the police. He really deserves to be punished!"
Han Tao knows that Qu Xiaoxiao and her group are a bunch of playboys. If he wants them to get along well with him, he has to subdue her first!
Although these people are not bad in nature, if you don't catch them, they will find ways to torture you to death.
After thinking about it, Han Tao felt that he needed to go and take a look. As an elite in the legal field, he felt that he had an obligation to teach these rich second-generations how to behave, and he also had a responsibility to contribute to the sleep quality of the residents here.
In addition to these, in today's situation, he can also have the right opportunity to interact with several protagonists of Ode to Joy.
Especially Qu Xiaoxiao. In the memory he received, the two of them coincidentally took the same flight back to China, and they had some interactions during that time.
At the same time, downstairs in Room 2202, Guan Juer, who was working overtime on a report, was also disturbed by the noise. She walked out of the room with a look of grievance and asked:
"Sister Fan, Yingying, why are you suddenly so noisy? Does anyone know what's going on?"
