Shi Yue's expression was frozen. Qiu Xichen didn't go back to the room at all last night, which showed that he didn't want to see him.

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Zhou Mian smiled softly: "I was too abrupt. I came out to play just for fun. Are you familiar with Yao Town? If you have a chance, you can take me to taste the specialties there."

Shi Yue waved his hands repeatedly: "I've only been there once, so I'm not familiar with it."

After about two hours, the train arrived at Yao Town, and the two of them said goodbye at the station exit.

"How long are you going to stay here? How about we leave our contact information?" Zhou Mian took out his mobile phone and looked at her expectantly.

It was a coincidence that the two of them met here. Shi Yue scanned his QR code and added him as a friend. When he saw that his profile picture was a professional photo of him in a suit and leather shoes, he couldn't help but smile.

Zhou Mian also quickly understood what she was laughing at, and said helplessly: "This is a requirement of the law firm. Everyone must use this style of profile picture. I have been mistaken for selling insurance several times."

I have to say, it does look quite similar.

Several men in suits were wandering around outside the station. When they saw Zhou Mian's figure, they walked over directly.

"Lawyer Zhou, you are finally here." Those people saw the woman beside him and hesitated: "Is this your girlfriend?"

Zhou Mian was stunned for a moment, and he quickly explained: "This is... my friend."

Those people recognized the wrong relationship and were very embarrassed. They apologized to Shi Yue: "I'm sorry."

Shi Yue was also a little embarrassed. It happened that the car she had booked arrived. She said goodbye to Zhou Mian: "Then I'll leave first."

Seeing her getting into the car, Zhou Mian silently wrote down the license plate number before leaving with his client: "I need to understand the case first before going to see the client."

As an almost lost craft, Jiangnan water embroidery has also become a specialty in Yao Town.

Shi Yue found the small streets of the ancient town. It was a remote place with no serious commercialization for the time being. The bluestone path meandered along the river. There were local residents on both sides of the river, and occasionally you could hear dogs barking.

She walked slowly on the road, enjoying the quiet moment.

Regarding the craftsmanship of water embroidery, Shi Yue asked the locals to inquire. If you follow this road, you can find a master who knows how to do water embroidery.

It didn't take much time to find the place. Shi Yue looked at the courtyard in front of him. It was antique and fragrant. There were flowers and plants at the entrance of the courtyard, which were well maintained. A tree of Skyflowers covered the entire courtyard wall.

Through the half-open door, you can see an old man sitting in the yard, holding an embroidery needle in his hand and embroidering flowers on silk. He should be the successor of water embroidery.

Shi Yue knocked on the door: "Grandpa, may I ask who you are..."

Before she could finish her question, the old man over there raised his head impatiently: "Stop bothering me and get out of here!"

It seemed that the old man didn't like to be disturbed, so Shi Yue could only bite the bullet and continue: "I heard that you can do water embroidery, so I came to see you for help."

As soon as he heard Shui Xiu, the old man became even more angry. He came over and pushed her out, and the door slammed shut.

Before Shi Yue understood what was going on, he heard someone yelling loudly in the yard: "If you people come to bother me again, I will call the police!"

The old man looked to be in his sixties or seventies, and he spoke with great energy.

Shi Yue frowned. She didn't even say the complete sentence just now. Why did they call the police to arrest her?

Did this old man misunderstand something?

A neighbor's aunt happened to be sitting at the door with a small bench to choose vegetables. Seeing Shi Yue being kicked out, she smiled and said: "Girl, you also came to see Old Man Deng to buy that pair of embroidery, right? I tell you, don't

I have come up with the idea of ​​embroidery, but this is all I have left to think about, so I’d better leave it to him.”

Shi Yue was immediately dumbfounded, and she hurriedly said: "I didn't come to him to buy some embroidery, I came to him to help me restore a pair of embroidery."

The aunt paused while choosing the food, but still shook her head and said, "Old man Deng has a very weird temper. I'm afraid he won't agree."

Shi Yue thanked the aunt and did not intend to give up. She found a bed and breakfast nearby to stay. In the afternoon, she went to the courtyard again.

Different from the morning, the courtyard door of Mr. Deng's house was wide open, and there were many people inside, making a lot of noise.

"Mr. Deng, your house is not in your name. The other party has every reason to take over the house. If you persist, you may not even be able to keep the house in the end."

Shi Yue was about to find another time to come over. When she heard the voice, she felt it was very familiar. When she looked inside, she discovered Zhou Mian.

Mr. Deng was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick, and he shouted loudly: "You let him come and take the house away! Does he think I am afraid of him?"

It looks like he's been in some kind of trouble?

Shi Yue didn't rush in like she did in the morning. She waited at the door for a while before Zhou Mian and the others came out.

Zhou Mian had just been talking to the old man in the yard for a long time, but couldn't get him to nod in agreement. He and his companions had no choice but to go back first and think of another way. But as soon as they came out, they saw Shi Yue.

Everyone who was traveling with him had seen Shi Yue at the station, and a look of understanding suddenly appeared in their eyes.

"Lawyer Zhou, please be busy first, we will go back first."

Zhou Mian was also very surprised: "What a coincidence. I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."

Shi Yue pointed to the closed door behind him: "I came to see Mr. Deng for something. Is the case you came here to handle related to him?"

Zhou Mian smiled helplessly: "I'm really sorry, I can't tell you about the privacy of the case and the parties concerned."

Then he added: "We have finished talking about things. If you have anything to do with him, you can go in now."

Thinking of Mr. Deng's angry look just now, Shi Yue shook his head: "I can see that he is in a really bad mood today. I'd better look for another opportunity later."

Zhou Mian glanced at the sky and invited with a smile: "Since we have nothing to do now, why don't we go have a meal? I heard from my colleague that there is a good fish hotpot nearby."

Shi Yue didn't have any food at noon and was hungry now, so she readily agreed.

Yao Town is not a big place, and the store Zhou Mian mentioned is also about 100 meters away. It didn't take more than two steps to get there.

The hot pot restaurant is right next to the river. It is not the peak tourist season and there are not many customers in the store. They chose a location near the river. You can also see the lights reflected on the river, which is a great scenery.

Zhou Mian ordered a few signature dishes and asked about her preferences. Shi Yue quickly waved her hand: "I have a phobia of choice. What I'm most afraid of is ordering. Just watch and order."

When Zhou Mian heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I really can't tell. I've always felt that you are a more thoughtful person."

Shi Yue held her chin with one hand and looked at the scenery on both sides of the river bank: "So what if you have an idea? Some things are simply not something that you can decide by yourself."
