Are You Crazy? He's only an Intern Lawyer?-Chapter 38 - Having met your girlfriend, our brotherhood is set in stone!

“Zhang Wei…”

Xia Qianyue also felt the embarrassment, her face reddening, almost to the point of tears.

“Young man, is your girlfriend malnourished or something?”

Tang Chunde, who was nearby, had already lost the amazement he previously had in his eyes; instead, his look was mostly mocking.

Your girl might have a pretty face, but she has big flaws!

No, that’s not right, I can’t say big…

To say small—this “small” is a big issue!

“Honey~ how do I look in this~”

On the contrary, the garishly dressed woman Tang Chunde brought along, though her face was heavily made up, at least had a good figure.

The red slit evening gown she wore certainly added points to her appearance.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man just as a saddle makes the horse; with the gown as an enhancement, the garishly dressed woman’s aura instantly elevated.

If she seemed like a courtesan before, now she at least resembled a top geisha.

Tang Chunde also wrapped his arms around the woman, looking at Zhang Wei provocatively.

His gaze seemed to say: Your girl might be beautiful, but she doesn’t match her gown, and my babe just overshadowed her, didn’t she?

Xia Qianyue almost wrung the hem of her clothes as she walked to Zhang Wei’s side, too embarrassed by the indignity to look at anyone.

It’s hard to imagine the extent of embarrassment required to make this tomboyish woman blush so.

“Silly, it looks like you need to change your outfit.

If you wear this to the graduation evening party, you’ll become the ‘center of attention’.”

Zhang Wei teased her to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Luckily the shop wasn’t crowded, and he didn’t feel too embarrassed.

As long as he himself wasn’t embarrassed, then the embarrassed one would be someone else.

“You’re still laughing, you’re still laughing!” Xia Qianyue said, pinching the gown with one hand and pounding on Zhang Wei with the other, her expression filled with shame and indignation.

“Alright, alright, I’ll figure something out, figure something out…”

Zhang Wei quickly begged for mercy, at the same time beginning to consider what kind of clothes would suit Xia Qianyue.

First of all, low-necked clothing was definitely a no-go; that clearly exposed her flaw.

High-necked gowns were too conservative and since evening dresses are close-fitting, they still wouldn’t cover up the issue.

So, what kind of clothes could hide flaws and also match Silly?

Zhang Wei’s gaze swept through the shop, moving away from the evening dresses around him, and finally settled on the female sales assistant.

A spark of inspiration struck his mind, and he remembered seeing Jessica in her uniform.

Jessica would not have unbuttoned her shirt that day if not for giving him a massage.

“Uniform!” Zhang Wei realized.

He immediately went to the display rack, picked out a set of black uniform, a suit with pants, and handed it to Silly.

“Come on, try this one on.

It’s guaranteed to suit you!”

After pushing Silly into the fitting room, Zhang Wei started to look forward.

This unexpected move by Zhang Wei took Tang Chunfeng by surprise.

Such thick skin this young man had, not feeling embarrassed at all.

He really wanted to see if that young girl would continue to make a fool of herself.

Since there was nothing pressing today, Tang Chunfeng stayed in the shop, curious to see what trick Zhang Wei would pull off.

After a short while, Xia Qianyue had changed.

“Zhang Wei, I’m coming out…” Perhaps encountering embarrassment for the first time, Xia Qianyue was feeling somewhat unconfident.

“Come on, Silly!”

When the fitting room door opened again, everyone, including Zhang Wei, was taken aback by the sight.

Dressed in the black suit Zhang Wei had carefully selected, Xia Qianyue wore a professional blazer with golden trim on the collar and loose black wide-leg pants underneath.

Paired with her already slender figure, she appeared tall and beautiful, exuding the distinguished and elite aura of a businesswoman.

The most critical aspect was that the top of the suit covered her chest, cleverly concealing Xia Qianyue’s biggest flaw.

Once her sole drawback was gone, Xia Qianyue became a perfect woman, or shall we say, a perfect girl.

“Tsk tsk tsk, not bad, not bad, pretty sharp~”

Zhang Wei walked circles around her, nodding his head in satisfaction.

It wasn’t just him, even Tang Chunde, standing nearby, was captivated by Xia Qianyue and stared at her fixedly.

This also caused his female companion to be displeased, her face expressing a surge of jealousy.

“Zhang Wei, what are you looking at?”

Xia Qianyue’s delicate face flushed with shyness, her long eyelashes fluttering as she also looked squarely at Zhang Wei.

Right now, she just wanted to know how she looked in this outfit.

“Perfect!”

She quickly got her answer from Zhang Wei.

“Salesperson, let’s take this outfit, how much is it…”

“Hold on, this one’s on me!”

Zhang Wei waved his hand, about to call the saleswoman, but Tang Chunde was one step ahead.

He pointed at Xia Qianyue, then instructed the saleswoman, “Wrap up this outfit for this little sister, and add another one in white of the same style, put it on my tab!”

This scene left the flamboyant woman beside him in shock, and both Zhang Wei and Xia Qianyue were slightly taken aback.

What got into him, competing to pay for someone else’s clothes?

After Tang Chunde’s flashy maneuvers, he immediately approached Zhang Wei and company.

“Bro, hehehe, I won’t lie to you, we hit it off at first sight…”

He excitedly grabbed Zhang Wei’s hand and said with a smile, “Actually, ever since I met your girlfriend, I considered you a brother!”

Zhang Wei: “???”

The saleswoman, watching Tang Chunde’s antics, also froze in place.

Seeing this, Tang Chunde quickly urged her, “What are you waiting for?

Hurry up and wrap up the clothes, and don’t forget another set in white.

Can’t I, Tang someone, afford it?”

Watching the saleswoman snap back to reality and walk with Xia Qianyue back to the changing room, Tang Chunde once again cozied up to Zhang Wei.

“Bro, listen, I’m a few years older than you, so I’ll just assume the role of your big brother.

Come meet your sister-in-law!”

Tang Chunde gestured, pulling the flamboyant woman over and greeting Zhang Wei.

“Manager Tang, this isn’t quite appropriate…” Zhang Wei didn’t look at the woman, but instead showed signs of rejection.

“What’s inappropriate about it?

Aren’t you about to graduate from law school?

Big brother here can ask around in the company legal department for you, maybe you can join our Tianxiang Networks legal department!”

As he spoke, Tang Chunde extended an olive branch.

Tianxiang Networks is the second-ranked internet giant in Dongfang Capital, nearly a hundred-billion-scale company.

Working in the legal department would guarantee a leap to the top, a skyrocketing career.

Tang Chunde believed that Zhang Wei couldn’t possibly refuse.

Tang Chunde had already started planning how to grow closer to Zhang Wei, how to then strike up a conversation with Xia Qianyue, and eventually, slowly edge out the young man…

“But, I refuse…”

What Zhang Wei said next made Tang Chunde’s smile freeze.

Luckily, he worked in marketing, often went out for business, and had a thick enough skin.

“Bro, you can’t be talking like that, more friends mean more paths.

Even if we’re not brothers, we can still be future business partners, right?

Aren’t you a lawyer?

If our company has any lawsuits, big bro here could introduce you, couldn’t I?

Look, I’ve already given you my business card, so why not leave me your number as well…”

Tang Chunde fully employed his business skills, persistently clinging to Zhang Wei and refusing to let go.

In the end, left with no choice, Zhang Wei reluctantly gave out his number.

But in his mind, he was already planning to block Tang Chunde’s number once he was back home.

After adding Zhang Wei’s number, deep down Tang Chunde wasn’t satisfied because his true goal was Xia Qianyue.

Zhang Wei, what was he?

Nothing!

However, he also knew that some things had to be done step by step, like dealing with a client—it’s not likely you’d sell him anything by shoving products in his face right away.

That might backfire and annoy the customer.

He needed to build rapport with the client: maybe go out to eat, have a few drinks, sing karaoke, dance, and end with foot massage, a full package.

You have to invest first, make sure the client is happy, right?

Only after all that can you start talking business without causing irritation, or the client might let their guard down a bit.

That’s how you get money out of their pockets.

So Tang Chunde planned to take it step by step, first become good friends with Zhang Wei, then approach Xia Qianyue, gradually get to know her better, and eventually give Zhang Wei the boot!

“Bro, not to hide anything from you, but I…”

Tang Chunde was about to continue chatting with Zhang Wei, but suddenly his phone in his pocket began to ring.

He picked up his phone, but upon seeing the caller ID, his eyebrows knitted.

After a moment of thought, Tang Chunde hung up the incoming call directly.

After hanging up the phone, he continued holding Zhang Wei’s hand.

“Brother, actually, I…”

The phone rang again.

Tang Chunde picked up the mobile again, his brows furrowing once more.

Hang up!

“Brother…”

The phone rang again.

“Damn it!” Tang Chunde was completely pissed.

“Brother, I need to take a call!” He reluctantly let go of Zhang Wei and walked aside.

“Hello, what’s going on?

I said not to call me unless it’s important…

What, you’re in the detention center, what happened?”

Expressions flitted across Tang Chunde’s face, then he looked utterly baffled, “Tang Chunfeng, he?”

“Impossible, how could it be!”

Then Tang Chunde shook his head like a rattle-drum, vehemently denying, as if something unthinkable had happened.

On the other end of the phone, an old woman’s voice could be intermittently heard, but unfortunately, Tang Chunde’s voice was too loud, drowning her out.

Zhang Wei could only faintly make out words like “detention center, murder, prosecution,” and so on.

“A criminal case?”

Due to professional habit, Zhang Wei signaled to a saleswoman, asking her to prepare paper and pen for him.

He wrote down his phone number and name on the paper and also wrote “Criminal Defense Attorney” in big characters.

On the other side, Tang Chunde finally ended the call, his complexion looking a bit off.

“Saleswoman, check out!” Tang Chunde called out and went straight to the counter, seemingly ready to leave.

“Husband~” The coquettish woman saw this and quickly called out in a delicate voice.

Tang Chunde quickly settled the bill and didn’t even pause, ready to leave.

“Manager Tang, wait a moment!” But Zhang Wei stopped him, handing over the paper he had just written on, “This is my business card.

I can’t just take your clothes for nothing.

If you need help, you can find me!”

“Brother, if I need your help, wouldn’t that make me a failure as your elder brother!”

Tang Chunde smiled, but still took the paper to leave a good impression on Zhang Wei and Xia Qianyue.

Then he led the coquettish woman out the door, not looking back as he left.

He seemed to be in a hurry, as if something serious had happened at home.

Zhang Wei watched Tang Chunde leave but didn’t pay much attention to it.

Though Tang Chunde seemed unscrupulous, he seemed somewhat capable too; otherwise, he wouldn’t have become the market manager of Celestial Network.

At his level in Dongfang Capital, he must have some connections, and probably didn’t need Zhang Wei to worry about him.

Just then, Xia Qianyue had finished changing and walked out carrying two small bags.

“Hehe, scored two outfits for free!”

Zhang Wei smiled and briefed Xia Qianyue on Tang Chunde’s situation.

“What shall we do next?”

“I’m a bit hungry.

Isn’t there a food street downstairs?

Let’s grab something to eat?”

“Sure!”

The two of them prepared to leave and go get something to eat.

“Take your time, come back when you can!”

This time, the saleswoman’s attitude had changed, and she showed Zhang Wei and his companion a completely different demeanor from the beginning, even personally opening the door for them with a respectful farewell.

This made Zhang Wei reflect once again, some people are just opportunists.

For the rest of the half-day, Zhang Wei and Xia Qianyue acted like any ordinary couple, wandering around the entire Wan Jiahui Center, not only sampling the popular snacks at the food street but also visiting a few more shops.

Zhang Wei also bought himself a suit that wasn’t too expensive, of course a brand from Dragon Country.

And just like that, a pleasant day passed.

That evening, the two reluctantly parted ways.

When Xia Qianyue got home, even with her impressive stamina, she felt somewhat tired.

But her heart was filled with joy.

Because this was the first time she had gone out shopping like a real couple with Zhang Wei.

The last time at school didn’t count since Zhang Wei was investigating, so it wasn’t the same.

Reflecting on the day’s gains as she lay on her soft mattress, Xia Qianyue’s mouth curved into a smile, her pearly teeth showing, her cheeks revealing two faint dimples.

“Right, I should post this on social media to commemorate the day.”

Xia Qianyue usually didn’t post on her social media, but today, on a whim, she took out her phone and began to create a post.

“Time flies so fast, I really wish this wonderful day could slow down…”

A series of photos of the two of them eating, drinking, and having fun were selected by Xia Qianyue.

With a grid layout set, she finished the editing and hit send!

Suddenly, a social media feed with a grid of photos was published.

Beep beep beep…

Beep beep beep…

Once the post was up, a lot of people started commenting.

Unlike Zhang Wei, Xia Qianyue had many contacts on her messenger app.

Apart from family and friends, many were classmates from elementary, middle, high school, and college.

Seeing Xia Qianyue’s post, many people left comments.

In less than fifteen minutes, there were already hundreds of comments.

The constant notification sounds bothered Xia Qianyue so much that she couldn’t help being curious and quickly checked her social media feed.

Scrolling through the comments and likes, most were from old classmates and friends; connections that had faded since college.

Soon enough, she came across a comment that left her feeling both embarrassed and angry.

Mo Yuzhu: Congratulations!

When’s the wedding?

Let me know when it’s time for the wedding feast.

“Yikes, what’s Mo Yuzhu saying?

What wedding and wedding feast!”

Xia Qianyue threw her phone away, blushing unconsciously with the guilt of a caught thief.

But she quickly realized she had just made a post.

It wasn’t as serious as Mo Yuzhu was making it out to be.

She picked up her phone and started typing a reply.

Xia Qianyue: What are you talking about?

Zhang Wei and I are innocent!

Mo Yuzhu: Innocent?

Innocently planning to have 5 kids, right?

(evil grin)

Xia Qianyue: Angry!

Mo Yuzhu: Remember to take precautions when you go to the hotel next time.

Although I study forensic medicine, don’t come to me If you end up with a corpse (smile)

Xia Qianyue: Annoying, I’m ignoring you now (arms crossed)

Mo Yuzhu: Remember the precautions or else if you get pregnant…

(evil grin)

Xia Qianyue immediately put away her phone, not daring to continue replying.

If this went on, Mo Yuzhu might start discussing the details of having kids with her.

Who could blame her?

As a medical student, Mo Yuzhu might have no practical experience, but she was rich in theoretical knowledge.

Even back in their dormitory days, Mo Yuzhu had always been the one with a wealth of experience in ‘driving fast.’ She could spontaneously come up with all sorts of risqué jokes.

“I knew I shouldn’t have posted on social media!”

Remembering the conversation, Xia Qianyue blushed as red as a ripe apple.

She could only bury her head in her blanket as a way to cope…

Elsewhere.

Zhang Wei also returned to the Lin Mansion.

After reaching the living room, he just collapsed on the chair.

Compared with the ever-energetic Simpleton, Zhang Wei’s stamina was in no way a match.

After a day of shopping, he felt like he was falling apart.

Luckily, there was a sofa in the Lin Mansion’s living room, which was soft and comfortable~

Zhang Wei: “!!!”

He suddenly remembered there was no sofa in the Lin Mansion.

“Wait, this sofa…

could it be…”

Zhang Wei glanced at the second floor, then over at the Zhao Mansion next door…

Had Zhao Xiaoxiao become so audacious that she moved a sofa over from next door?

But how could she, a girl, move such a large sofa by herself?

That wasn’t the point.

The real concern was, with her constant pilfering, had Zhao Qingyan never suspected anything?

A series of questions surfaced in Zhang Wei’s mind, leaving him uneasy.

Fortunately, Zhang Wei found a receipt on the living room floor.

It said the sofa had been purchased by Zhao Xiaoxiao, not Zhao Qingyan.

Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, knowing the sofa wasn’t moved over from next door by Zhao Xiaoxiao, but rather it was bought online.

“This girl finally did something reliable, she knows to spend her own money to buy things.

Zero dollar purchases are no good!”

Zhang Wei patted his chest, then dragged his tired body straight to the bathroom.

He was too tired.

He could only rest early tonight.
