stayed, her news would spread everywhere like it did with the nurse earlier. Gu Ruandong couldn't persuade her, so he had to take her home. Anyway, she decided that she never wanted to see Lu Kuo agai...Zhuo Yu'an's thoughts were simple at this time. Since Shu Tinglan had to accompany the old woman in the scorching sun because she was threatening to lie down and starve herself outside the courthouse, and Shu Tinglan refused his kindness, he could only take the old woman to a shady place.

The result was that Xu's mother had heatstroke, dizziness, nausea. She had been lying down for a long time and was almost fainting. When he suddenly poured her water like that, cold water going into her stomach, she felt even more nauseous.

A sound of vomiting, I vomited.... I vomited...

And, unfortunately, not to mention, it landed right on Zhuo Yu'an's pant leg…

And Zhu Yuyan was originally because of helping Xu's mother up, all the ash on Xu's mother's body rubbed onto his white shirt. There were a few particularly obvious dirty spots on the white shirt, and now there were...

Xiao Xin couldn't bear to look at Zhuo Zong's expression, she turned her head and held back a laugh. She didn't mean to make fun of him, it was just too pitiful!

And Shu Tinglan, because of this sudden change, stood there for a moment...

That is, Zhu Yuan, such a proud person, now from head to toe, makes people unbearable to look at, and there is a faint sour smell.

For some reason, Shu Tinglan recalled the past. She had lost a file once, and Zhuo Yunan helped her search for it in the trash can. He was wearing a white shirt back then, stained with dirt. He used that as an excuse to go to her house to take a shower, and naturally, he ended up staying at her place.

At this point, his shame was beyond compare!

Xiaoxin thinks Zhuo will explode immediately because it's really disgusting, such an expensive pair of pants!

Xu's mother also seemed terrified. She had both the shrewish side of a street woman and the timidity that came from living at the bottom for so long. Seeing herself spit on this man, and seeing how noble he looked, not like an ordinary person, her heart skipped a beat. She was afraid he would demand compensation; she was penniless now and couldn't afford it.

Thinking about this, my head felt even heavier.

Zuo Yu'an, on the other hand, seemed unperturbed. He didn't show any signs of anger or disdain, merely turning his head slightly while maintaining his posture.

"Tinglan, do you have any paper"

Shu Tinglan only then looked at him properly. She saw a flash of discomfort in his eyes, though he quickly concealed it. Who wouldn't be uncomfortable if they were spat on by a stranger

Seeing him so embarrassed, Shu Tinglan's mood improved slightly.

"There's no paper." wasn't intentional, his bag really didn't have any. Xiaoxin hurriedly flipped through his own bag and found that he hadn't even brought any paper.

Zhuo Yu'an remained in a half-squat position, unable to stand up. To stand would only lead to a more brutal outcome.

"Tinglan, go to my car and get some paper. Brother Chen is in the car. Also, bring two bottles of water over." He commanded calmly.

Shu Tinglan then walked toward his car to get the paper. As she got closer, she realized, how could she have just listened to him Doing whatever he told her to do

She didn't care if he was dirty or not doing what he did.

Just as she was thinking about walking back and not giving him the paper, Chen Ge, the driver in the car, suddenly got out of the driver's seat and called to her excitedly.

"Miss Shu, long time no see."

Chen Ge was her driving instructor, he taught her everything she knew. It had been a long time since they last saw each other, she nodded as a greeting.

She had gotten there and then bent down to take a pack of tissues, a pack of wet wipes, and two bottles of water from his car. When she looked up, she saw that the jade pendant she had given him earlier was still hanging on his car.

This car isn't the same one he used to drive, but the jade pendant is still there, clashing with the car's cold, hard demeanor. The scene when he was given this pendant still stands out vividly in my mind. Looking at it now, it feels a little ironic.

When she took the paper and water, she also casually took this jade piece down, intending to throw it away later.

Zhuo Yunan was still quite courteous. Even though he was in a sorry state, during Shu Tinglan's trip to get paper and water, he continued to slowly feed water to Xu's mother.

Xiao Xin sighed on the side, wondering how someone could have a cold and distant face but still be polite and considerate in their actions. It was like when he sent her here earlier; he remained aloof and silent throughout the journey, yet he safely delivered her to the courthouse door. It was contradictory.

Xiao Xin didn't know, Zhuo Zong was simply a cold and uncaring person. He did all this only because they were related to Lawyer Shu.

Shu Tinglan handed Zhu Yuyan the paper, wet tissues, and water without saying a word, nor offering to help.

"Thank you." Zhu Yu'an started cleaning the stains off his trouser leg, and after finishing he carefully washed his hands with mineral water before feeling better.

At this time, Brother Chen also arrived and indicated that there were spare clothes in the car, so they could go and change. After Zhuo Yu'an helped Xu's mother to a shady place, he returned to his car to change his clothes.

Xiao Xin was greatly impressed by this man's actions. He thought the man's upbringing was excellent, truly living up to the saying, "The higher the social class, the better the refinement."

Zhuo Yu'an quickly changed into a clean and refreshing set of clothes, but when he got out of the car, he glanced at the front windshield and immediately realized the problem. His piece of Hetian jade was gone.

On this side, Xu's mother was still feeling unwell after suffering from heat stroke earlier. She didn't dare to lie down there again. It seemed that every few days someone would come to protest in this way. The court basically ignored her, and she had accepted this fact. Besides, Lawyer Shu said that the materials had been submitted and they would do their best to promote a retrial of the case. Only then did she calm down.

Xiao Xin helped the three of them get ready to leave.

Zhuo Yu'an walked straight towards them. He wanted to send them back, but seeing Shu Tinglan's icy expression, he knew she wouldn't sit in his car. He didn't want to make things difficult for her, but as Shu Tinglan passed him, he suddenly reached out and gently grasped her arm.

Shu Tinglan froze, then glared at him angrily, "What do you mean"

He lowered his head slightly and said to her in a serious tone.

"Where is my thing" he pointed to the jade.

Shu Tinglan shook off his hand, knowing what he was asking, so she replied.

“Threw it away.”

"Tinglan, that's mine." What I gave him was naturally his. Although it wasn't expensive, it had accompanied him for many years and was something very precious to him.

Shu Tinglan felt like she had just acted impulsively by taking it, now that it was in her pocket, she didn't know whether to keep it or take it out. She could only bite the bullet and...

“I’m throwing it away, anyway. It wasn’t given to you at the time, just used in my car. I have the right to take it back.”

He is also quite good at twisting things around, making the unreasonable seem reasonable when he speaks.

Zuo Yu'an was amused by her anger.

"Tinglan, are you feeling guilty now"

His words pierced right through her.

Shu Tinglan didn't want to pay him any attention, she walked straight ahead, wanting to catch up with Xiao Xin and Xu's mother. Unexpectedly, Zhuo Yu'an grabbed her arm again, this time using a bit more force, almost pulling her into his arms. He said:

“Be obedient and give me back the pendant.”

This pendant is important to him.

The distance was too close, and they could smell each other's familiar scents. Zhuo Yu'an's heart felt both soft and aching, while Shu Tinglan felt a strange surge of anger. He took out the pendant from his pocket and threw it at him with force.n and mean team. We must choose comrades with rich work experience, not just those driven by passion. Passion alone won't save your lives." 。"Okay, I'll sign up again." 。His gaze swept over the people...
