Isn't Lu Jinxing Useful?

Jiang Jiu gently retracted her hand with a calm expression. "No one bullied me."

'No one?'

Lu Jinxing didn't believe her answer. The man's deep and dark eyes were bottomless. Jiang Jiu was a little afraid and explained, "I accidentally scalded myself when I was making tea."

The servant brought the chicken soup to the table and stood at the side to serve her obediently. Lu Jinxing looked at her retracted hand and his handsome face was expressionless. "Does your law firm have many cases?"

"There has always been a lot." Jiang Jiu picked up her chopsticks and picked up some food. She couldn't guess what he was thinking and could only answer his questions.

"Is it fun being a lawyer?"

The man's voice was filled with mockery. Jiang Jiu picked up her bowl. "Is it fun to do business?"

Did you see that? This woman did not even give in to a word. In front of him, she looked obedient, but he knew that she had never really submitted to him for a moment.

Lu Jinxing did not ask further about the burn on the back of her hand. Jiang Jiu had no intention of telling him in the first place. So what if she did? The Lu family and the Gu family were on good terms. She did not believe that Lu Jinxing would do anything for her.

The next morning, Jiang Jiu didn't see Lu Jinxing when she woke up. There was a reminder on her phone calendar. When she saw the marked content, she quickly walked into the bathroom to wash up.

After a while, Jiang Jiu changed her clothes and came out. She was about to call home when the call came in first.

"Jiu." Jiang Wanming sounded very happy. "Have you eaten the tonic I sent you a few days ago?"

"Yes."

"That's good. It's your father's birthday today. Come over with Third Young Master tonight. Our entire family will have a reunion dinner at the restaurant."

Jiang Jiu stood in front of the window. When she heard the words "reunion dinner", her heart skipped a beat. Ever since her grandmother passed away, their entire family had really not had a reunion dinner for a long time.

"What time tonight?"

"Six o'clock. I've booked the hotel. I'll send it to your phone later."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Jiu had mixed feelings. Recently, her relationship with her family had eased, but all of this was because of the Lu family. She turned around helplessly and suddenly realized the man was standing not far away.

"You haven't left?" Jiang Jiu blurted out.

Lu Jinxing was wearing a sleeping robe and shrugged at her. Then, the man walked to the wardrobe and changed into his shirt in front of her.

Jiang Jiu stood rooted to the ground. She didn't know whether to hide or not. She blushed and lowered her head. The instructions her father had given her on the phone popped up in her mind.

This man had to attend tonight's reunion dinner .

There were limited opportunities. Jiang Jiu took the opportunity while he was tying his tie to walk forward. "Third Young Master."

The black tie wrapped around the man's well-defined fingers. Lu Jinxing lowered his head. "What's the matter?"

"It's a small matter," Jiang Jiu explained briefly, not daring to delay him for too long. "It's my father's birthday today. Can we go back for dinner tonight?"

Lu Jinxing glanced at her left hand. The swelling on the back of her hand had completely disappeared. Ji Chen was efficient. Five minutes ago, he already found out everything that had happened at the law firm yesterday.

This woman clearly had no intention of telling him what had happened.

Lu Jinxing smiled faintly. He had forgotten that Mrs. Lu had always been strong and independent, tenacious and unyielding. No matter how useful the name Lu Jinxing was outside, it was useless to her.

"Dinner?" Lu Jinxing tied the tie around his neck and nodded. "Sure, I can do that."

As if not expecting him to agree so easily, Jiang Jiu looked stunned for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she immediately smiled. "When do you have time?"

Lu Jinxing's thin lips curled up slightly. The Jiang family still meant a lot to her.

"I have a meeting in the afternoon. I can only go over later."

"It's okay. Go ahead." Jiang Jiu didn't dare to argue. She was already very grateful that he had agreed to go back for dinner with her. At least in front of her parents, he could give her some dignity.

Not long after, Lu Jinxing changed his clothes and left.

Thinking of the occasion at night, Jiang Jiu chose a black suit from the clothes sent by her mother a few days ago and changed into it. The style of the tailored suit was not ostentatious and was formal and dignified enough.

Jiang Jiu only tidied up the documents in her hands when the sky gradually darkened. Although her colleagues were puzzled when Gu Anning came to cause trouble yesterday, fortunately, no one was gossipy. She was new to the law firm and was not good at socializing. It was also because of this that everyone discussed her very little.

It was almost time to get off work. Jiang Jiu packed her things and prepared to leave.

"Sister Jiu, have a good date." Assistant Sun Rou stared at her and teased.

Jiang Jiu thought of the clothes she was wearing and didn't explain much. She greeted them and got off work. No wonder they misunderstood. She had never worn this to work before.

When she walked out of the law firm, a flashy pink sports car had already arrived. Jiang Jiu carried her bag and sat down. Jiang Xi placed her hands on the steering wheel and turned her head to whistle at her. "Why is our Jiujiu so good-looking? She looks beautiful in anything."

Jiang Xi had a typical baby face and was as youthful as a high school student. Jiang Jiu pinched her chubby chin and smiled. "Your little mouth is so sweet. Do you want me to buy you candy?"

Every time the two best friends met, they had to praise each other. Jiang Jiu let it slip over the phone. When Jiang Xi heard that it was Jiang Wanming's birthday, she insisted on coming to give him a birthday gift for his birthday, she couldn't even stop her.

On the eleventh floor of the hotel, Jiang Jiu walked out of the elevator and was greeted by a row of huge flower baskets and a welcoming platform. She took a few more steps forward and was completely stunned when she saw the magnificent banquet hall.

Didn't they say that it was a reunion dinner? This ostentation…

Jiang Xi was very familiar with them and had been to the Jiang family a few times in the past. She pulled Jiang Jiu over with a golden ornament in her arms. "Uncle Jiang, I wish you a happy birthday and good health."

The Jiang couple liked Jiang Xi very much, especially since Jiang Xi was generous. Shu Hong took the gift from Jiang Xi and smiled. "It's been a while since we last met. Miss Jiang is getting prettier."

When Jiang Wanming saw Jiang Jiu coming over, he looked behind her. "Jiu, where's Third Young Master?"

"He has something on. He'll come over later." On the way here, Jiang Jiu sent the location of the hotel to Lu Jinxing.

Hearing this, Jiang Wanming nodded and went to greet the other guests.

There were many guests tonight. Jiang Wanming was not celebrating a special birthday, but he was putting on a big show. Everyone even came to support him because of Lu Jinxing, who was at the charity banquet a few days ago.

"Darling, I'll leave first." Jiang Xi waved her phone and blushed.

At the last charity banquet, Jiang Xi added someone on WeChat and they seemed to be chatting well. Jiang Jiu reminded her not to mess around and be more serious when dating.

After sending Jiang Xi off, Jiang Jiu turned around and returned to the banquet hall. Almost all the guests were here. She looked up and her expression darkened again. The Jiang family was not considered a wealthy family at all. Why did those people have to appear when she didn't want to see anyone?

Ahead, Jiang Wanming greeted Song Shaoshi eagerly. Not far away, Gu Anning was also among them.

Jiang Jiu was speechless. Just as she was about to retreat, she suddenly heard a cry of surprise behind her.

"Third Young Master."

Jiang Jiu turned around and saw a man walking towards her. He was still wearing the black suit he wore in the morning. His eyes were cold, and he was holding a beauty in his arms.

Jiang Jiu's heart sank and she wanted to laugh.

Why had she forgotten that this man was Lu Jinxing? He had never cared about her dignity.
