Shi Yue calmed down and replied with a smile: "I'd better make money first."

As soon as they finished speaking, the man downstairs saw them, stepped forward with a gentle smile, and took everything in their hands: "Why did it take you so long to come back? Those people upstairs are so hungry that they can't wait any longer.

"

Shi Yue still insisted on carrying a bag: "The supermarket is a bit far and it took some time on the road. I bought snacks so that everyone can fill their stomachs later."

Back at the apartment, Meng Meng entertained everyone with the snacks and drinks she bought. Pan Xiaoya also brought some cakes and desserts she made herself, which looked exquisite and small, and smelled very sweet.

Shi Yue went to the kitchen immediately. It didn't take too long to prepare the hot pot. What was a little more complicated was handling the ingredients.

Pan Xiaoya was at her best at this moment, rushing to the kitchen to give Shi Yue a hand.

Zhou Mian also came in to help wash the fruits. Pan Xiaoya saw how the barrister could do it, and hurriedly snatched the fruit plate from his hand: "Lawyer Zhou, you can go outside and rest. We don't need your help here."

Zhou Mian smiled helplessly and walked to Shi Yue again: "Is there anything you need me to do?"

Shi Yue was not polite, everyone was hungry, and having one more person to help would make the meal faster.

"Can you help me wash all these dishes?"

Zhou Mian is not untouchable. When he is at home, he will cook by himself to please his parents, so he is very skilled in doing these things.

The kitchen is not very spacious, and it is a bit crowded for three people.

Meng Meng glanced into the kitchen and saw Pan Xiaoya working hard in the kitchen. She almost rolled her eyes.

"Pan Xiaoya, everyone is playing cards and there is a shortage of people. Come out and make up the number!"

Pan Xiaoya just looked back and continued busy with the work in hand: "Sister Meng, you better go, I'm busy here."

Meng Meng was really angry. She didn't know why Shi Yue took a fancy to her and promoted her from a small receptionist to a senior assistant.

She went straight in and pulled Pan Xiaoya out: "You have to do it. I don't know how to play your tricks. I'll learn from you."

After pushing Pan Xiaoya out of the kitchen, she turned back to Shi Yue and said, "The smell of oil smoke is too strong, so I'll close the door first."

The suddenly closed door instantly blocked out the noise outside, and Shi Yue was stunned for a moment before she realized what had happened.

Zhou Mian washed the vegetables and took out the fish and cut it into slices: "If you don't close the door, the oil smoke will indeed escape. If you want to live here for a long time, the kitchen should be renovated."

After hearing Zhou Mian's suggestion, Shi Yue looked around the kitchen: "Actually, there is no need to renovate it. I am only living here temporarily. I am not sure where I will live in the future."

Maybe after saving enough money, Shi Yue will buy a smaller apartment with just one bedroom and one living room. It has an open-air balcony where you can plant some flowers. In your free time, you can also sit by the window and draw pictures.

Draw a manuscript.

Zhou Mian quickly handled the dishes at hand and put them on the plate. He looked at Shi Yue and his tone and expression became serious: "Shi Yue, everything in the past is over. Have you ever thought about... the future?

plan?"

Shi Yue's chopping movements slowed down a bit. She was lost in thought and planning... In addition to dedicating herself to her work, what else could she do?

In the living room, Pan Xiaoya, who was pulled out, saw that everyone had gathered around the table to play cards. There was no shortage of people at all. She looked at Meng Meng sadly: "Sister Meng, why did you lie to me?"

Seeing that she really didn't understand, Meng Meng couldn't speak directly, so he could only pull her aside: "I heard that you haven't been in love yet. I have a boy here who is about the same age as you. Do you want to

Add a contact information and chat with the other party?"

It turned out that he was the person to be introduced to. Pan Xiaoya blushed, secretly pointed at the young man next to Ye Xingxing, and whispered: "Can there be that handsome Chen Ming?"

It turned out that he was still a face-control guy, so Meng Meng could only guarantee again and again: "It's definitely not much different from this. I don't have any photos of him. Make an appointment to meet him next time."

Compared with the bustle of the living room, the kitchen is very quiet.

Zhou Mian saw that she was confused, and he said: "Do you still remember how I helped you find your grandfather's wife before? Maybe you should take some time to meet her."

After knowing each other for so long, Zhou Mian has come to understand Shi Yue's character. The more normal she acts in front of outsiders, the more depressed she is inside.

She needed to leave Kyoto for a while and stay away from everything here in order to slowly heal the pain and unwillingness in her heart.

For Shi Yue, finding out everything about his grandfather may be the most important thing to do right now.

She nodded and said, "You have her address, right? Just send it to me." With Meng Meng helping to take care of the company, Shi Yue no longer had any worries.

Zhou Mian said: "I happen to be going there on a business trip next week, you can go with me."

Facing Shi Yue's questioning gaze, Zhou Mian smiled softly: "What? You think I'm making an excuse just to accompany you? If you don't believe it, I can show you my schedule now."

Zhou Mian said it very seriously. Their law firm has always cooperated with Anshi, and it is common to go there on business trips.

Shi Yue had no reason not to believe it, so he agreed: "Then when will you leave, tell me in advance."

After frying the bottom of the pot, the hot hot pot was brought to the dining table. Everyone came over smelling the smell and helped to carry the dishes and bowls.

There was wine in the drinks prepared today. Meng Meng didn't know Shi Yue's drinking capacity, so he poured half a glass for her.

The dishes have been served and everyone is sitting together. Ye Xingxing speaks the most directly, greeting everyone and raising their glasses: "I must celebrate today. I wish my good sister Yueyue to be single again! Stay away from scumbags!"

Girls are most likely to be aroused by such words. They all become very excited and drink all the wine in their glasses.

Shi Yue smelled the faint smell of alcohol in the cup, which was not strong. This was fruit wine that she bought. It had a low alcohol content and a fruity aroma, so it should not be intoxicating.

She drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp.

After someone discovered Shi Yue's abnormality, he didn't even finish half of the dish.

Meng Meng was about to continue pouring wine for everyone when she picked up the wine bottle and found that it was empty.

"Hey, wasn't there half of it left just now? Why is it gone?"

Pan Xiaoya only focused on eating the vegetables and asked: "Did you remember wrongly? You just finished pouring it."

Shi Yue was sitting next to Meng Meng. Her face was red, and she could still clearly say a complete sentence at this time: "I drank it all."
