Chapter 10: Always Thinking You're the Special One

Lu Yinfeng suddenly realized that this woman had mistaken her for someone in a special profession.

Clutching a stack of banknotes, Lu Yinfeng didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

She felt like crying because the woman had treated her as a call girl, but she found it funny... because the money she was given was quite generous.

"Sister, no matter who you are, this is very rude," Lu Yinfeng took a deep breath, did not put on a pleasant face for the woman, and threw the banknotes back at her.

The woman grew angry and chided, "Not appreciating kindness? I see you're still a young girl, and I don't want to stoop to your level! Scram! Or don't blame me for not giving you any face!"

Her contemptuous look and uncomfortable words left Lu Yinfeng feeling very displeased.

Lu Yinfeng frowned and demanded, "Who are you? Why are you here? What gives you the right to tell me to leave?"

"I'm Mo Nanze's girlfriend!" the woman answered loudly.

She looked down on Lu Yinfeng with her chin up, exuding arrogance.

Girlfriend?

Lu Yinfeng was stunned.

Since when did Mo Nanze have a girlfriend?

She gave the beautiful and graceful woman another up-and-down look.

Strikingly sexy, she did match Mo Nanze's appearance quite well.

But then... Lu Yinfeng suddenly smiled serenely and looked directly into the woman's eyes.

"Sister, if you really are Mo Nanze's girlfriend, you should understand his personality," Lu Yinfeng said, "then you wouldn't insult me with money. As one of the top lawyers, surely Mo Nanze wouldn't break the law he knows so well!"

The woman's face stiffened, and she didn't know how to respond.

During the tense atmosphere, a ringtone from a cellphone suddenly rang, breaking the awkwardness.

The woman hurriedly answered the call, with Mo Nanze's indifferent voice coming from the phone.

"Su Rou, it only takes fifteen minutes to get from the company to my house and back. You're already five minutes overdue. How much longer do you want me to wait?"

Su Rou immediately fell apart and quickly responded, "I'm sorry, Lawyer Mo, I'll be right there."

After hanging up, Su Rou didn't bother with Lu Yinfeng anymore and rushed into Mo Nanze's study to help him with the documents.

Su Rou was Mo Nanze's assistant. She used to be a lawyer with strong abilities, but since joining Bangcheng Law Firm, she had given up her previous lawyer's work, focusing solely on assisting Mo Nanze.

The reason was nothing more than her interest in the distinguished, handsome, wealthy, and talented Mo Nanze.

Only such a man was worthy of being her Su Rou's man,

Over the past year, thanks to her intimate status with Mo Nanze, Su Rou had fended off many people who tried to approach him.

Today, she was entrusted by Mo Nanze to fetch some documents but happened to run into Lu Yinfeng and, as usual, decided to intimidate her.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yinfeng was not one bit intimidated.

After taking the documents, Su Rou hurriedly left. When she reached the door, she couldn't help but stop, turn her head back to look at Lu Yinfeng, and said lightly, "Every month, I see at least five girls like you who naively think they will be the special one."

After saying that, Su Rou opened the door and left.

Lu Yinfeng stood there and waved, "Goodbye, sister!"

The door slammed shut.

Even though Su Rou had targeted her, Lu Yinfeng didn't feel much resentment.

She knew that her nonsensical relationship with Mo Nanze wouldn't last long, nor would she have much to do with this strange woman anymore.

Inside Shengnan Law Firm, Su Rou handed the documents over to Mo Nanze.

Mo Nanze collected himself as he took the documents.

Normally, Su Rou should have left Mo Nanze's office, but this time she couldn't help asking, "Lawyer Mo, the woman at your house... who is she?"

Mo Nanze, without looking up, coldly said, "Su Rou, that's none of your concern."

Su Rou bit her lower lip, revealing a look of discontent, "But Lawyer Mo, you shouldn't like that type of woman. Such a young girl is totally unsuitable for you!"

Mo Nanze glanced at Su Rou with a calm yet cold tone, "You're overstepping."

Su Rou was aggravated by Mo Nanze's cold demeanor.

For so long, she had prided herself on being the woman closest to Mo Nanze.

She also believed that, day after day, Mo Nanze would notice her goodness and grant her the status of a girlfriend.

However, today she had merely asked about that inexplicably present woman in his house and was immediately charged with the crime of overstepping her bounds.

Su Rou was very indignant.

At the same time, she felt a sense of crisis and decided to use this opportunity to make things clear.

"Lawyer Mo, don't tell me you are unaware of my feelings! I gave up the chance to become a senior partner at Bangcheng Law Firm to stay by your side. Do you really think I am willing to do these trivial tasks of fetching documents and finding information!"

Mo Nanze understood her meaning, but his expression remained indifferent.

"Su Rou, I acknowledge your capabilities at work, and you have always been my most trusted assistant. However, if you are unhappy with this job, I won't force you to stay."

Su Rou responded with a bitter laugh.

With Mo Nanze's words coming to this point, she found she could no longer continue to stay.

"Mo Nanze, you'll regret this!"

After throwing down those words, Su Rou stormed out and slammed the door behind her.

The news of Su Rou's resentful departure quickly spread throughout Shengnan Law Firm.

However, being mature lawyers focused on their work, everyone only gossiped about it on a small scale.

Everyone in the firm knew that Su Rou fancied Lawyer Mo, but he had always kept his distance with a cold demeanor.

Speaking of which, aside from Su Rou, no one had heard of any other woman getting close to Lawyer Mo.

That same day, Mo Nanze asked HR to recruit a new assistant.

When Mo Nanze returned home, it was already nine o'clock at night.

He was busy with work but always managed to handle matters for Lu Yinfeng without delay.

Mo Nanze handed a document to Lu Yinfeng, "Regarding the Mo Family's inheritance, I've taken full authority to act on your behalf. Here are the property deeds for the Mo Family Mansion, along with the share certificates of Mo Group."

Lu Yinfeng was utterly surprised, while Mo Nanze sat on the sofa, casually untying his tie, and said nonchalantly, "The person handling this is an acquaintance of mine. I asked him for a favor, that's why it was processed so quickly."

Lu Yinfeng's lips quirked, at a loss for how to respond.

Having matters settled so swiftly, wouldn't it further cement the impression that she was in it for the money?

After a moment of silence, Lu Yinfeng sulkily said to Mo Nanze, "Little Uncle, I'll be staying over at your place for a few days. I've been looking for an apartment online, and once I find a suitable one, I'll move out."

Mo Nanze looked down at his phone, not responding to Lu Yinfeng's words.

"What did you have for dinner? I'm hungry. Come with me to grab a bite."

Lu Yinfeng then realized that she had only casually eaten some bread from the fridge in the afternoon.

She was still a bit hungry now.

"By the way, the bread in the fridge is expired. Don't eat it," Mo Nanze said as he stood up.

Lu Yinfeng was taken aback, and realizing the importance, she couldn't help but shout after Mo Nanze's retreating back, "Hey! Little Uncle! Can't you share such vital information earlier!"

As Mo Nanze approached the bedroom door, he turned around and gave a slight smile, "Just kidding."

Lu Yinfeng paused.

Suddenly, she felt as if she didn't know Mo Nanze at all.

In the past, she could not have imagined Mo Nanze having this side to him.

A few minutes later, Mo Nanze emerged, wearing a loose and comfortable set of home clothes.

Lu Yinfeng was taken aback once again.

The current Mo Nanze, having shed the elite style of his white shirt and suit, dressed simply and cleanly, with stray locks of hair hanging over his forehead, looked just like a male university student.

Who could tell he was thirty-three years old!

"Let's go," Mo Nanze said as he headed straight to the entrance.

Lu Yinfeng hesitated for a moment but still followed after him.
