Chapter 696: 696, who made me as beautiful as a flower, loved by everyone?
So, Ling Zhizhou continued to praise, “Sister, you getting into Yurui Law Firm is really impressive. I heard from my classmates that this law firm has branches all over the country, and as long as a case is assigned to them, the success rate is almost over ninety percent! Nearly all of the top lawyers chosen every year are from Yurui, especially that Lu… Lu…”
“Are you referring to Lu Chenyu?” Mo Weiyi kindly reminded him.
“Yes, Attorney Lu is Nancheng’s top lawyer, and he has been practicing since he was twenty years old, not a single lost case in his five years of practice, his win rate is one hundred percent!”
Mo Weiyi then smiled proudly, “He is my master.”
Su Wanwan: “…”
“Lu Chenyu is your master?” Ling Zhizhou opened his eyes wide, “Sister, you are really amazing! Being the apprentice of Nancheng’s top lawyer, you will become Nancheng’s top female lawyer in the future!”
“Of course!”
Looking at the two of them, Su Wanwan said, “One is blowing things out of proportion, the other is flattering excessively, why don’t you two just become a duo of comedians?”
Ling Zhizhou looked somewhat embarrassed.
Mo Weiyi snorted, full of pride, “I’m not exaggerating, Lu Chenyu is indeed my master!”
“Sister, you guys eat slowly, I have something to do and need to leave first.” Ling Zhizhou suddenly said.
“Wait a minute.” Su Wanwan stopped him, “Didn’t you come to eat? Why are you leaving without having your meal?”
Ling Zhizhou obviously paused for a moment, then smiled and said, “I came to see someone.”
Su Wanwan: “…”
Once Ling Zhizhou left, Su Wanwan asked, “Have you been in contact with him a lot recently?”
“Who?”
“Ling Zhizhou.”
“Not much.”
“Really?”
Mo Weiyi nodded, “I have been interning at the law firm recently and have not been coming to school.”
Since Valentine’s Day, Ling Zhizhou has not called her. He must be busy with his studies as well.
As for her, internship at the law firm is strenuous and exhausting, plus there are a lot of things going on at home. On top of that, Xiao Yebai has told her multiple times to stay away from Ling Zhizhou.
Although Mo Weiyi feels that Ling Zhizhou is just an innocent younger schoolmate and they are just normal friends, there is no need to keep a distance, but since Xiao Yebai had said so, she wouldn’t want to cause a dispute with her husband over a small matter.
So, subconsciously, she wouldn’t take the initiative to look for Ling Zhizhou.
Su Wanwan said, “That’s good, I’ve always felt that something is off about Ling Zhizhou.”
“What do you mean?” Mo Weiyi picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for herself and Su Wanwan.
Su Wanwan took the tea cup and spoke seriously, “He seems overly enthusiastic about you.”
Hearing that, Mo Weiyi immediately grinned, “What can I do? I’m beautiful, loved by everyone. If people want to be nice to me, what can I do?”
Su Wanwan: “…”

On the other hand, as soon as Ling Zhizhou left the cafeteria, he immediately dialed a number.
“What’s wrong now?” The man’s voice on the other end of the phone was lazy and indifferent.
“What are you doing with Weiyi?”
“What do you mean?”
“I asked earlier, and she really is interning at Yurui. You intentionally work in a Securities company near Yurui, and yet you claim you are not trying to get close to her!”
“And what if I am?”
The man laughed quietly, “By the way, since you called me, there’s something I wanted to ask you. How come the Little Princess hasn’t been showing up for work these past couple of days? She wasn’t there at lunch either. Could you call and ask if she is injured, or sick?”
Clasping the phone firmly in his hand, Ling Zhizhou objected, “I warn you, stay away from her.”
“But I have been eating lunch with her in this fast food restaurant for a week straight. We just didn’t sit together, and she had no idea. Also, I have taken many pictures of her.”
Lowering his voice, the man continued, “The Little Princess is really beautiful; white skin, tall, and she wears different clothes every day. Her figure is stunning, everything looks good on her. It’s such a waste not to be a model… ”
“You are not to touch her!” Ling Zhizhou blurted out angrily.
This immediately made the man on the other end burst into a ghostly laugh.
Ling Zhizhou wanted to say something, but with a “click” the call was hung up.
In the midday sun, he stood there, clenching his right hand around his phone in anger, his hand turning pale then blue.
Suddenly, his phone rang again.
Ling Zhizhou picked up the phone; the man had sent several photos.
In one photo, Mo Weiyi was wearing a navy-blue professional suit, sitting there eating.
One after another.
From all angles, front view, side view, her back, a frown, a smile…
They were the kind of pictures a stalker would take.
Finally, Ling Zhizhou couldn’t control himself anymore. He violently smashed his phone on the ground.
**
Half an hour later.
After finishing lunch, Mo Weiyi and Su Wanwan left the canteen. They had only walked a few steps when they saw Ling Zhizhou waiting for them ahead.
Su Wanwan frowned.
“Sister.”
Ling Zhizhou came over, “Are you going to the law firm this afternoon?”
Mo Weiyi, “No, I took the day off.”
“That’s it.” Ling Zhizhou smiled, “I just found a part-time job at a restaurant that happens to be next to Yurui Law Firm. I thought if you were going back, we could go together.”
“What a coincidence? What’s its name?”
Ling Zhizhou thought for a moment and said the name of the restaurant.
“I’ve been going to that one recently.”
Upon hearing that, Ling Zhizhou immediately smiled happily, “Then you might see me there tomorrow.”
Mo Weiyi also laughed, “Sure.”
Su Wanwan: “…”
Not until Ling Zhizhou left, Su Wanwan asked her, “Is the law firm close to our school?”
“It’s alright, not really close, about half an hour by car.”
“So, he went there to work specifically? Could it be just to get close to you?”
“You’re overthinking!”
Su Wanwan: “…”
A while later, she couldn’t help but continue, “Anyway, be careful. If he really does work there, you better change where you eat. We don’t want Xiao Yebai knowing and starting a conflict.”
“Oh.” Mo Weiyi responded nonchalantly.
**
At 9 o’clock the next morning, Mo Weiyi arrived at Yurui Law Firm on time.
“Miss Mo, why are you at work today?” Mr. Wang asked, surprised.
“I took two days off, so of course, I have to work today.”
“But Lawyer Lu said you were taking a week off.”
“One week?” tilted her head, “You must’ve misheard. I only took two days off.”
Mr. Wang: “…”
Did he hear it wrong?
…
At 10 o’clock in the morning, Lu Chenyu came to work with his briefcase.
At the entrance of the assistant office, he stopped and looked at Mo Weiyi’s desk out of habit.
But seeing this, he was stunned.
Damn!
Why did this pest come to work?
Wasn’t she going to take a week off?
Mo Weiyi immediately stood up, politely greeting, “Good morning, Master!”
Lu Chenyu lowered his lip corners, and turned away.
Mo Weiyi: “…”
She came back to work, but why did Master seems unhappy? So grumpy…
Soon, the phone on her desk rang.
Mo Weiyi immediately picked up, “Hello, this is Yurui Law Firm, who are you looking for?”
Now she’s accustomed to professionally answering the phone.
“Come to my office.”
“Okay, Master.”
Mo Weiyi cheerfully holding a pad and pen, went through the corridor to the next office.
She professionally knocked three times, waited for Lu Chenyu’s voice, and then went in.
Today, she wore a bright yellow professional suit
As he entered, Lu Chenyu couldn’t help raising his hand to shield his eyes, sounding disgusted, “Don’t wear this outfit again.”
Mo Weiyi immediately looked down.
Limbs covered, skirt longer than the knee, and the fabric is not sheer at all!
“Master, why?” Mo Weiyi asked shamelessly.
Lu Chenyu lowered his fingers, expressionless, “I’m color blind to yellow.”
“…Okay.”
Mo Weiyi pouted her mouth.
Is there such thing as color blindness to yellow?
What the heck?
Another piece of clothing is going to be scrapped.
The office fell quiet again.
Mo Weiyi watched him, the man stared at his computer, without a word.
Finally, she couldn’t help asking, “Master, the film review I sent to you, what do you think… ”
“Nonsense.”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
She lowered her head, feeling defeated.
The next second.
“Prepare for a meeting.”
Mo Weiyi quickly lifted her head higher, “Master, am I also going?”
“Hmm.”
Lu Chenyu stood up, picked up his laptop, “You’re responsible for the meeting minutes.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Weiyi’s face lit up, “Okay!”
Ever since she got burnt out during her first meeting on her intern’s first day, she hadn’t been invited to any meetings for half a month.
Mr. Wang even stated clearly that Lu Chenyu said she was not required to attend the meetings.
Never thought he would personally invite her to attend a meeting today!
He even put her in charge of meeting minutes!
Isn’t this a sign that he wants to train her?
