122: Is this considered a hidden beauty in a golden house?

The next day, Lin You and Ye Ze woke up just as early.

"Water Brother, I'll take you to eat my favorite breakfast!"

"Okay."

The shop she brought Ye Ze to was a noodle restaurant near the school, and more than half of the people inside were students.

Lin You: "Boss, two bowls of Chaoshou."

"Coming right up."

"The Chaoshou at this place is especially delicious! As long as I wake up early, I basically eat breakfast here."

"Chaoshou, that's Wonton, right?"

Lin You: "Not quite~ Wontons are smaller and the wrappers are thin. Chaoshou are bigger and the wrappers are thicker."

"Also, the way they're wrapped is a bit different, and Chaoshou usually come in red soup, while Wontons don't."

Ye Ze was a pure Northerner and really hadn't paid attention to the difference between the two.

After all, nobody ate Chaoshou in his hometown.

"Okay, then I'll try our Yu Zi's favorite breakfast."

The steaming hot Chaoshou were brought over, and Ye Ze took a bite. They were indeed delicious.

"Mmm, it tastes good!"

With dimples appearing, Lin You said happily, "Hehe, right?!"

After breakfast, Ye Ze planned to walk her to the entrance of the teaching building. Along the way, many people they met turned back to look at them.

"Usually, this many people look at you when you go to school?"

Lin You spread her hands helplessly: "So is it possible that they're not just looking because of me?"

Ye Ze was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had been considered the 'class hunk' back in school. After graduating for a year, he had actually forgotten about it.

"Okay, I get it now. They're all envying you for having such a handsome boyfriend."

Lin You nodded beside him: "Mhm, Water Brother is right."

After dropping Lin You off at school, Ye Ze then called the beautiful lawyer Shi Ruiyan, Attorney Shi.

The two of them agreed to meet at a famous coffee shop in C City. The environment was elegant and private, and the desserts there were especially famous.

Ye Ze was closer to the location and arrived earlier than Shi Ruiyan, Attorney Shi. He ordered a few signature desserts and coffee from the menu and waited for her arrival.

Before long, the door opened, and a young woman with her hair styled up and wearing a moon-white long dress came in.

She only wore light makeup, but her presence was not weak.

Looking at her, the character played by Lucy Liu in Kill Bill suddenly appeared in Ye Ze's mind.

Shi Ruiyan, Attorney Shi proactively extended her hand: "Hello, Ye Zong."

"Hello."

Feeling the softness in his hand, Ye Ze checked her stats panel.

[Name: Shi Ruiyan, Attorney Shi]

[Age: 29]

[Appearance Level: 9.0]

[Purity: 100]

Whoa, another older sister, the same age as Xiao Suxin, and still 100 purity!

She was probably a top student during school and a workaholic after graduation.

"Ye Zong's worries were not unfounded. Cao Jun has indeed been restless these past few days. As far as I know, he has bribed quite a bit of money to try and reduce his sentence and get probation," Shi Ruiyan, Attorney Shi was the first to break the silence.

Ye Ze nodded. He wasn't surprised by this outcome; after all, he was a rich person.

The woman in front of him definitely knew authoritative people in this area, as she was the ace lawyer of a famous firm.

He also got straight to the point: "Here's the thing, I have plenty of money. My demand is for him to receive the punishment he deserves."

"Of course, if you can get him a longer sentence, that would be even better."

"I wonder if Lawyer Shi can do that?"

Shi Ruiyan, Attorney Shi paused. Yes, she could indeed do it. But she had never actually done something like this before.

She had always been fair and impartial. The reason she was so famous in the legal circle was because she won cases beautifully.

Just as she was thinking, Ye Ze continued: "Lawyer Shi doesn't need to feel conflicted. We are the victims."

"As you know, Cao Jun not only stalked for a long time but also attempted to use force."

"Such a person should receive the punishment they deserve. Otherwise, if he targeted Lin You today, he could target others tomorrow."

"This is also a disguised way of maintaining public safety."

Shi Ruiyan, Attorney Shi clenched her hand. Ye Zong was right. She had handled so many cases and seen countless tragedies. Such people really shouldn't get away with it just because they were rich.

She finally made up her mind: "Okay, I'll do as Ye Zong says."

A smile appeared on Ye Ze's face: "Okay, I'll transfer 50 million to you now. If it's not enough, you can find me again."

"After the matter is settled, I will give Lawyer Shi an additional reward of 5 million."

He had paid her legal fees before and knew her bank account number, so he transferred 50 million to her on the spot.

Looking at the transfer notification on her phone, Shi Ruiyan, Attorney Shi couldn't help but think: This Lin You is really lucky.

If it were another girl, she would probably have been harmed by now, and it's uncertain if she would even have the courage to report it.

She might have just swallowed the bitterness and not dared to speak up, but Lin You had someone willing to go against a rich person for her.

She could feel that Ye Zong had no malicious intent. She let out a long breath: "Pleasure working with you."

Ye Ze showed a satisfied smile and started chatting casually with Shi Ruiyan, Attorney Shi.

Originally, Shi Ruiyan, Attorney Shi was quite reserved, but she was gradually won over by Ye Ze's wit and humor, and her body relaxed.

She thought, perhaps the delicious desserts were also one of the reasons.

After chatting for about 2 hours, the two of them said goodbye. One went to pick up Lin You, who was about to finish school, while the other went to work and handle things.

When Ye Ze arrived at the teaching building, school had just ended, and students were streaming out, making him dizzy.

He pinched the space between his eyebrows, immediately walked further away, and only felt better when he stopped beside a large tree.

Leaning against the large tree, he sent a message to Lin You and waited patiently.

"Um... hello..."

Ye Ze looked at the young woman on his left who was shyly lowering her head after greeting him: "Hello."

"I saw you here after school and thought you were very handsome. Can I add you on WeChat?"

Seeing a young woman boldly stepping forward, others stopped in their tracks, waiting to see the outcome.

If she could get it easily, then they...

"Sorry, I'm waiting for my girlfriend."

"Ah! Okay, okay, sorry to bother you." The girl walked away with a flushed face.

Seeing that there was no chance, most of the others also dispersed. However, there were still a few persistent girls who wanted to try their luck.

"Handsome, can I get your contact info? I won't bother you, but having someone as handsome as you on my WeChat Moments would be a feast for the eyes!"

Ye Ze sighed inwardly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a sweet and charming voice coming from ahead: "You can't!"

"He's mine! Don't even think about ruining our relationship!" After saying that, Lin You stood on her tiptoes and kissed Ye Ze on the cheek.

The girls who came to ask for his WeChat immediately felt awkward: "Uh, okay, okay..."

The few people dispersed, and Lin You angrily dragged him out by the arm.

As she walked, she kept saying: "Water Brother, from now on, don't come to school to pick me up anymore! Just wait for me obediently at home!"

"I really can't feel at ease with that face of yours! It attracts too much attention!"

"In the morning when you came, a bunch of people looked at you. At noon, a bunch of people came to ask for your WeChat. If you come again, I'll end up with a few more sisters!"

"Either you go out and have fun, or you wait for me at home!"

Ye Ze: "Oh? Wait for you at home? Doesn't that count as keeping a mistress in a golden house?"
