"You —" Su Fann was about to go get the money, but her brother quickly stuffed it into his pocket.

"You're already so old, yet you're asking your sister for money for a bar? Do you think you're still a man?" Huo Shuqing held Su Zijie's hand in her pocket and stared at him.

Su Zijie looked up at him and smiled, "Brother, isn't it too early to meddle in our family's business now?"

"Zijie, shut up. Su Fann is worried that her little brother will anger Huo Shuqing if this goes on, but Huo Shuqing's face is very calm and no emotions can be seen from it."

"Then when do you think I should be in charge?" Huo Shuqing asked with a faint smile.

"Hurry up and go to sleep!" the few men sitting on the sofa said with a smile.

Su Fann was infuriated. She pulled on her brother's arm, wanting to leave, but she couldn't.

When Huo Shuqing saw her like this, she felt that she should help her. He could already see that she was very pampered by her younger brother.

"Su Zijie, follow your sister back to school —" Before he finished his sentence, he heard Su Zijie say, "You don't have to care about our family matters!"

Huo Shuqing ignored him, walking to the side and taking out her cell phone to make a call.

Su Zijie gave him a provocative look. He smiled and said, "I'll find someone who can deal with you."

Su Zijie went up to his sister and asked, "Sis, who is this person?"

Who? Secretary General Huo? Or Mayor Huo?

"Colleagues," Su Fann said.

"He seems to be interested in you. He looks pretty good, but he looks a little old —" Su Zijie smirked.

"Shut up!" Su Fann scolded. "Isn't it time for the final exam? If you're not studying in the dorm, what are you doing in this place? "

"Our classmate came out to play! How boring it is to keep learning! " Su Zijie said.

Su Fann was furious. Just as she wanted to say something about her brother, he turned around and walked towards the sofa. He smiled at his friends and said, "Get two dozen more beers. Let's continue."

"Su Zijie, it's enough for you!" Su Fann said to her younger brother.

Su Zijie's friends were all staring at Su Fann and Su Fann with smiles. Su Zijie turned around and said to his sister: "Sister, you should go back! Don't worry, we'll go back to school early.

Just then, less than ten minutes after Huo Shuqing's call ended, four uniformed policemen entered the bar. They looked around, and Huo Shuqing waved to them. They then walked towards Huo Shuqing.

The leader of the police gave him an inquiring look and asked, "Excuse me, is this Mr Huo?"

Huo Shuqing nodded and said, "Those kids might have some questions. I'll trouble you to go over and ask them."

The policemen walked towards Su Zijie and the others. Su Fann couldn't help but feel worried and wanted to follow them. Huo Shuqing pulled her arm and shook her head.

She saw her brother turn to look at her and hurried over.

The police were taking the students away, saying it was to assist with the investigation. Su Zijie and his buddies' faces were filled with shock and fear. They never thought that the person beside Su Fann would be able to find the police so casually. Su Zijie reacted quickly. Without begging his sister, he ran straight to Huo Shuqing and said, "Brother, don't be angry. We just want to drink some wine. Tell the police uncle and spare us this time."

Huo Shuqing glanced at Su Fann and said to the police, "It might be a misunderstanding. Sorry for troubling you to run over. I'll call you guys, Commissioner Liu, to explain later. It's been hard on you!"

When the police saw this, he quickly said, "It's fine, it's fine. We'll be leaving first."

After the police left, Huo Shuqing said to Su Zijie, "You guys still want to wait here for the police car?"

Su Zijie and the others immediately grabbed their stuff and ran out of the bar. Su Zijie walked past his sister and smiled at Huo Shuqing before leaving.

"Let's go back as well!" Huo Shuqing lightly patted Su Fann's shoulder and looked at her. She nodded.

"I'm sorry, my brother he —" Su Fann hurriedly said as she got into Huo Shuqing's car.

As Huo Shuqing drove, she said, "You are too doting on your brother. You have to have principles. Even if you treat your family members, you can't just let them live freely. If he asks you for money, you give it to him. Such a young lad, how could he ask his older sister for money? "

Su Fann sighed. "I know that what I did was wrong, but you don't know that our family —"

"Respect each other?"

She smiled bitterly and said, "The situation in our family is a little complicated."

He looked at her and said, "No matter how complicated it is, as an adult, you have to support yourself. There is no reason to use that as an excuse." And you, you shouldn't be so disinterested! "

Su Fann lowered her head in silence.

"I'm sorry, I might be a little heavy —" he said.

"No, no, you're right —" she said.

He wanted to say a few more words to her, but he stopped after thinking for a moment. He wasn't familiar enough with her to judge her as he pleased.

Thus, neither of them said a word more until the car stopped in front of the Environmental Protection Agency's main entrance.

"Erm, Secretary General Huo, thank you. I will pay you back another day." She flipped on her seat belt, opened the door, and waved goodbye.

Watching the car gradually disappear into the distance, Su Fann sighed and walked into the alley beside the office.

The night was getting darker and darker.

Tonight was a special night for Huo Shuqing. Su Fann's appearance kept appearing in his mind.

No, no, how can you do this? That girl, she has nothing to do with you, nothing to do with you.

Thinking of this, he picked up his phone and called a name.

"Are you home?" he asked.

"I'm driving. I'm going to my mom's place tonight." A familiar female voice came from the coach as the handphone was switched on.

"Will you be there when I go home this week?" he asked.

"He's here! "Oh, Huo Shuqing. Yesterday, your sister called to tell you about her sister-in-law's case. It was a divorce case, and it was unsolved for three months." Sun Mann said.

"Do you have a divorce lawyer? "If you have it, help her accept it." Huo Shuqing said.

"I've seen the case, and it's not that complicated. The main thing is that neither one of them is willing to give in. They can't go on talking." Sun Mann said, "I really can't understand those people. When they get married, it's sweet like nothing. When they want to get divorced, they become mortal enemies. Since they were already here, why did they still have to get married? It's pure self-defense.

Sun Mann's car stopped at a crossroad. On the other side, Huo Shuqing's car kept moving forward.

"You took the case?" Huo Shuqing asked.

"Your sister has already told me, how can I have the nerve to push the case to someone else?" Sun Mann said.

"Don't be too tired. Help me out as much as you can. Aren't you in charge of a bunch of cases yourself?"

"You can rest assured. That case is just a small case. An extra one wouldn't put much of a burden on me. " Sun Mann said, "Huo Shuqing, don't you think it's funny? I told your sister's sister-in-law that I wanted to get some proof of her husband's tax evasion, but she didn't agree. At this point, he still wanted to give the other party face. I really don't know what to say anymore. " Saying that, Sun Mann smiled.

"There's no need to be so ruthless in everything you do. After all, it's only a match between husband and wife."

"You've really gotten yourself into a situation of balance. Divorce is something that needs to be avoided, and our relationship has already been broken. Besides, we only have this much to split the wealth. If you're softhearted now, I won't give you anything in the future!" Sun Mann said.

Huo Shuqing couldn't help but laugh and said, "If anyone divorced your lawyer, they wouldn't get any advantage at all."

"Of course, it's good as long as you know it!" Sun Mann smiled and said, "I'm here, so I'll hang up first. You drive carefully, Bye! "

"En, Bye!" After Huo Shuqing finished speaking, the other party had already hung up.

Four years ago, Huo Shuqing was the secretary of East China Province, Governor was transferred to Jiangning Province to be Secretary ofProvincial Committee, Huo Shuqing came along with them and was appointed as the deputy secretary general of the provincial council. Back then, he had told his wife, Sun Mann, to come to Jiangning Province as well, but Sun Mann had not agreed. At that time, Sun Mann coincidentally became the partner of her law firm, which was one of the top firms in East China Province. Sun Mann was unwilling to give up on her hard-earned results, so she stayed in the provincial capital of East China Province, Jiang Prefecture. After four years, Huo Shuqing had mentioned this matter to Sun Mann quite a few times, but there was no result. Sun Mann said that her customer relationship was always at East China Province, and if there were any Jiangning, everything would start anew. As time passed, Huo Shuqing stopped talking.

After so many years, Huo Shuqing gradually understood a principle. A woman who marries you is not an accessory to you, you have no right to ask her to give up her career for you. But if two people can't live together, what is the purpose of marriage?

What's the point of thinking so much? Let nature take its course!

Returning to the dormitory, Su Fann sat on the bed and thought about what had happened tonight. The beautiful dining room, delicious food, and his smile, everything seemed like a dream. She closed her eyes and smiled sweetly. Even though it was just a dream, being able to dream like this once in a lifetime was already not bad. As for the part where she went to the bar afterwards, it made her feel a little sad just thinking about it.

Su Fann had an indescribable feeling in her heart. She didn't want him to see how disobedient her little brother was. She didn't want him to know what her environment was like. Even though, even though he was someone who had nothing to do with him …

Sigh, forget it, don't think about it. He was someone who had nothing to do with her. He was the leader, and she was just a soldier. If she had not eaten with him, she would not have had the chance to face him face to face for the rest of her life.

Oh, and give him a thousand dollars. He was so busy that he didn't know when he would have a chance to return it.

When Huo Shuqing returned home, she took off her windbreaker and woolen sweater and went into the living room to turn on the TV.

He wasn't a person who loved watching TV, but in the past two years, whenever he was alone at home, he would turn on the TV and turn it on loud.
