that loving someone could be so profound, so deep it reached her very marrow, a love so intense it brought unbearable pain. Such fervent love was all because the other person was her... 。Shu Tinglan k...He thought for a moment, and then sent another: Hello.

But this time, he followed up with a question: Is it illegal to hire minors for internships at the company

After asking, she thought of this point, she should have been asleep already, wanting to take it back, the website didn't have this function.

Then, the dialog box showed that the other party was typing.

Shu Tinglan was a little angry. Who were these people, not sleeping in the middle of the night She slept lightly, her phone placed beside her, and a single beep woke her up. She decided to finish answering this consultation and then go to the website's backstage to set it so that she wouldn't receive any messages between 11:00 PM and 7:00 AM.

What a stupid question

"Are you referring to a minor who is 16 years old or older It's not illegal if they are 16 or older."

"Okay, thank you, Lawyer Shu. Get some rest, and I won't bother you anymore."

Sun YuYue is still a month away from turning 16. Of course, regardless of whether he turns 16 or not, he is learning under the guise of social practice activities, and it is not an employment relationship.

"A lawyer's resources are limited, so for some simple questions, please learn to use the internet search function."

A dialogue box suddenly popped up with this message, and Zhuo Yu stared at it intently. It was her sending him a "lesson." He thought he probably had a bit of a masochistic personality, and actually found it good, really good. She'd even learned to politely decline requests.

He didn't reply anymore.

Shu Tinglan immediately set up in the website background to not receive any messages from 23:00-7:00.

Then, for two consecutive days, the other party sent her inquiry messages around 8 PM.

First, he reached out with an inquiry.

"Attorney Shu, I have a question. For example, if someone drinks alcohol but doesn't drive, just moves their car slightly in the garage, does that count as drunk driving"

Shu Tinglan coldly sent him a picture with the caption: Driving behavior can be summarized in three steps: "Get in the car," "Start the engine," and "The wheels move." As long as a motor vehicle moves on the road, it is considered to have completed the act of driving. Therefore, moving cars in a residential area or parking lot is considered driving, so driving under the influence of alcohol counts as drunk driving.

"Okay, thank you, Lawyer Shu."

Once again, he came to consult.

"Mr. Shu, I have a question about acting as a guarantor for someone."

Just as he was about to recount the details, Shu Tinglan directly replied.

"Sorry, my free consultations are limited to twice. If you need to continue consulting, there will be a charge."

She thought the other person was too lazy. Many simple questions could be answered by searching on Baidu, or by looking up relevant legal provisions themselves, but some people just got used to being hand-holders. She wouldn't cater to them.

Okay, how much does Attorney Shu charge

" $2,000 per hour." Her rate was reasonable compared to her competitors.

Zuo Yu'an immediately had his assistant's bank account number and transferred 2,000 yuan to her.

“This is the fee from our previous consultation. The remaining fees will be calculated based on time.”

$2000 for an hour of conversation with her, it's a great deal no matter how you look at it.

Shu Tinglan accepted it readily. It was her earnings from her labor, though perhaps a little too easy to come by.

After receiving the payment, she kept waiting for the other party to come back for consultation. As a result, the other party didn't appear again for about a week.

Zhu Yu'an's absence was due to a sudden realization of his own naivety. His approach to her had been too clumsy and pointless. Besides, he could occasionally get updates about her from Sun Yueyue or Director Han, knowing that she was fully invested in Xu Wei's retrial case, he decided not to disturb her any further and waste her time.

Shu Tinglan returned to Senzhou this time because Xu Wei's case was rather complex and there were many things to be done. She was so focused on researching the case that she didn't notice anything unusual around her.

The only strange thing was how Sun Yueyu would always run to Senzhou every weekend She'd fly over after school on Friday and go back on Sunday night, making her busier than even them office workers.

She called the teacher's wife, thinking that perhaps Mr. Sun couldn't control his child and could only rely on the teacher's wife. After all, rebellious high school students could easily go astray once they decided to.

When the teacher's wife received her call and heard her explanation, she laughed.

“Tinglan, it’s okay. I know he went to Senzhou.”

What is he doing here

He wasn't participating in the youth robotics competition hosted by Zhuoyuan Technology last time He won the championship at the time. Zhuoyuan Technology highly values his abilities and intends to cultivate him, so he interns there every weekend.

"Zuo Yuan Technology, every weekend"

“Yes, I’ve also spoken to Yueyue's teacher. Since he has basically completed his high school coursework through self-study, participating in more social practice activities wouldn’t hurt.” The mistress of the house valued education but understood the importance of individualised instruction. Though her son was still in high school, he had his own plans for the future and worked hard to achieve them. There was no reason for her not to support him.

"Okay, I understand."

Shutinglan hung up the phone, but a strange feeling rose in her heart. Sun Ruyue had always loved interacting with machines since she was little, so participating in a robotics competition was perfectly normal.

But Zhuoyuan Technology broke new ground by giving a high school student weekly hands-on opportunities, which should be an exception.

But why make an exception Is it simply because of Sun Yueyue's abilities

It's impossible because the annual championship is always filled with exceptionally intelligent prodigies.

Is there another reason What reason

Unexpectedly, she thought of Zhu Yu'an. She hadn't thought about him in a long time, but after hanging up her stepmother's call, she felt a little uneasy. The two had broken up peacefully and there had been no conflict or entanglement between them over the years. There was nothing she needed to avoid about him, even if they met, it wouldn't matter. But she had two children, and she didn't want people from her past to know about their existence.

Children are her greatest motivation for living, she has to think things through more carefully.

Xiao Xin saw her staring blankly and couldn't help but curiously ask,

What's wrong

Shutinglan came back to her senses: "Last time, I asked you to accompany Sun Yuèyuè. Do you know what he went to do"

“Oh, him That little rascal is quite proud of himself now. He went to Zhuoyuan Technology last time and bragged to me that the CEO of Zhuoyuan personally took him under his wing for R&D.”

Shu Tinglan heard this and a surge of anger instantly rose from her heart, replaced by fear and unease.

What does Zhu Yu'an want to do

It goes without saying that he came for her. Otherwise, with his cold personality, how could he possibly waste time cultivating a high school student

But they've been divorced for over three years now, with no contact whatsoever. What does he want all of a sudden

Xiaoxin was startled by her shout and asked with a trembling voice.

"Is there anything else I can help you with"

Big trouble!

"Where does Sun Yueyue live"

Shū Tīnglán got up and went out to look for Sūn Yuèyuè. For convenience, he lived in a hotel near Zhuó Yuǎn Technology. Shū Tīnglán only realized later that this hotel was the one Zhū Yǔ'ān often stayed at when he first returned to China.

Xiaoxin had been here to look for Sun Yu before, so he was familiar with the place and led Lawyer Shu there.

"Did he do anything wrong" Xiaoxin asked cautiously.

She asked him that, and Shu Tinglan came to a halt. He stood at the hotel door, his whole body feeling cold. Yes, had Sun Yueyue done anything wrong What had she come here foronse, lifted his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. The red wine wasn't harsh, leaving a pleasant fragrance on his lips and teeth, but he felt a slight dryness and tightness in his throat.After...
