His spine became stiff, as if he was afraid to see her disgusted and scared eyes. His eyes tightened up little by little, and finally landed carefully on Meng Jinyang's face.

The girl lowered her head and looked at the hands they were shaking.

The man's palms are very hot.

From her fingertips to her heart.

After that incident, Meng Jinyang was scared when he saw a man for a long time.

Jiang Shenyuan and Gu Si are the only men she can accept to get close to her, but they can't be too close. She will still be nervous and afraid if she is too close.

It was the first time she had a skin contact with a man in so many years.

He is the man who has accompanied her the most except Gu Mang.

Jiang Shenyuan saw that Meng Jinyang didn't move for five seconds and was not repelled. His heart was beating rapidly.

I'm eager to say something.

The next second, Meng Jinyang suddenly broke free with force and took a few steps back.

Jiang Shenyuan also stood up and apologized in a hurry, "I'm sorry, Jinyang, I..."

Meng Jinyang breathed rapidly, his hands hung stiffly on his side, and he kept shaking his head, "It's okay... I'm fine, Brother Jiang, I'll go to bed first."

She turned around and was about to walk, and she was in a hurry.

"Jinyang." Jiang Shenyuan immediately called her.

Meng Jinyang stopped and stood there with his back to him.

Jiang Shenyuan looked at her back and understood that after tonight, he might never find the opportunity to be alone with Meng Jinyang.

Even because of his impulsive actions tonight, she would completely distance herself from him.

"Let's talk." Jiang Shenyuan controlled his tone, spoke gently and gently, cautiously, "Okay?"

Meng Jinyang did not make any sound or move.

Every second I waited for her to reply was extremely long.

The ears were too quiet.

Jiang Shenyuan even prepared to go back to the room to sleep without saying a word, or go to the next door to find Gu Mang.

Three minutes later, just as Jiang Shenyuan was about to give up, he heard her voice.

"Okay." Meng Jinyang turned around and looked at him, with his black eyes calm and indifferent, and she said, "Let's talk."

...

The two sat down on the sofa.

Meng Jinyang took out his cell phone from his bag, opened the album, and then placed the cell phone in front of Jiang Shenyuan, "Look at this before talking."

Seeing her as if she was negotiating with someone in court, and her cold and solemn appearance, Jiang Shenyuan felt a bad feeling.

He hesitated to pick up his cell phone.

It's a screenshot album.

Jiang Shenyuan looked over one by one, his face getting ugly.

"What's the use of success? After experiencing such a thing, even though she is so powerful in the legal world, she probably can't even lift her up in the crowd."

"A relative and Meng Jinyang were in the same law firm. I heard that she was very resistant to contact with men. Once a man accidentally patted Meng Jinyang on the shoulder, and she was so scared that her face turned pale on the spot."

"Jiang Shenyuan can only get closer to her in the whole law firm."

Every comment has time, and it is a screenshot from various social media comment sections.

The earliest one was three years ago, after Meng Jinyang won the gold medal in the International Moot Court Competition, she became a hot search.

Gu Mang has long been hacked into the systems of major social platforms, setting Meng Jinyang's relevant information as banned words.

But in this era when speaking online does not require responsibility, you can't control it at all.

Meng Jinyang advised Gu Mang, saying that it doesn't matter if these things can't hurt her.

Even so, every time Meng Jinyang becomes a hot search, Gu Mang will make people clear out all the relevant entries immediately.

Jiang Shenyuan didn't expect that Meng Jinyang, the party involved, would keep so many screenshots.

"I can only accept that Jiang Shenyuan is getting closer to her? She doesn't like Jiang Shenyuan and wants to be with him, right?"

"I'm going, she dares to think about this?! Who is Jiang Shenyuan? Who is she? Even if she is so powerful now, she is not worthy of it..."

"People who are looking forward to marriage should have a better mind! Would you like to marry you?"

"Have you heard of platonic love? A spiritual love with love but not sexual. In this society, I say that this kind of love is extinct, no one will object."

"If you talk roughly or not, you will be laughed to death when you marry it home!"

Jiang Shenyuan looked over one by one, and these words seemed to have turned into the sharpest needles, pierced into his eyes, making him feel painful.

He had seen these comments on the Internet, but he did not expect that Meng Jinyang would be saved.

All the knives that hurt her were bloody, she collected them all...

Jiang Shenyuan raised his head, his lips trembled, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't make a sound. He slowed down for a second before he found his voice, "Jinyang, what happened back then was not your fault. Have you forgotten? What you said is the victim's innocence."

Meng Jinyang pursed his lips slightly, his voice very light, "I know, it's not my fault, I never think it's my fault."

Jiang Shenyuan stared at her with black eyes, opened his mouth, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by her next sentence.

"But you are not wrong." Meng Jinyang raised his eyes, cold and rational, without any emotion, "Brother Jiang, you are clean, don't let me dirty you."

Jiang Shenyuan blurted out, "I don't care."

Meng Jinyang lowered his eyes and smiled, "I care. My reputation doesn't matter. You can't mess up the reputation of the Jiang family. When I was a child, Uncle Jiang fought for me. I can't repay my kindness with a grudge, right?"

“Jinyang…”

Meng Jinyang looked up at him, "That's all I want to say, what are you going to talk to me?"

Her eyes were too calm.

Calm down, it seemed that nothing he said would do.

The feeling of powerlessness drowns him, and his breathing is so painful that it hurts to the throat.

She was indeed cultivated by him with his hard work. He knew what he was going to do. A few simple words and a screenshot album, which completely wiped out his thoughts.

Meng Jinyang looked at him and pushed the milk to him, "It will be cold if I don't drink it."

Jiang Shenyuan couldn't speak, his eyes were red, and he seemed to be enduring something, "You can't be together, you are not sure about your relationship, you don't get married, we are just like this, I'm always with you, can't you?"

The tone is humble to the core.

Meng Jinyang's throat instantly became bitter and his eyes were sore and unbearable. She tried her best to suppress her emotions.

"I know you don't want to be the president of the Bar Association, you just want to stay away from me for the time being." In her vision, in the past few years after she left, maybe he might have gotten married and had children. "You should have seen it a long time ago."

Meng Jinyang didn't say anything.

"Can you... not leave?" Jiang Shenyuan looked at her with trembling eyes.

Meng Jinyang was always very calm. She said, "Brother Jiang, I will go to Jijingzhou at the end of the month."

Jiang Shenyuan pursed his lips, "Do you have to leave?"

"Take good care of yourself and don't drink so much wine again in the future." Meng Jinyang said softly. She got up and took her cell phone, "Remember to drink milk."

She lifted her foot toward the room.

Before he took a few steps, Jiang Shenyuan's low and mute voice came from behind him.

"I like the flowers I raise very much. I know I raise her very well. I really want to stay with her, but she wants to push me away."

Meng Jinyang's tears rolled down without warning and hit the ground. She didn't stop and returned to the room.

She saved those screenshots and reminded herself at all times.

Remind yourself that you must not be foolish, not dirty his reputation, and not dirty the reputation of the Jiang family.

They were all very kind to her and she could not repay her kindness with grudges.

...

After the defense of several students’ thesis in Meng Jinyang’s hands was completed.

She went to the offices of the principal, the dean of the law department and several directors to say goodbye to them.

Several people wanted to have a meal with Meng Jinyang, but were rejected by Meng Jinyang.

That night, she played with a group of girls like Gu Mang and Qin Yaozhi until late at night.

The next day, Gu Mang took her to the airport.

"Call me if you have something to do." Gu Mang accompanied her to complete the registration procedures and hugged her and walked towards the security checkpoint.

Meng Jinyang nodded and smiled, "Don't worry about me, Xiao Si and Elder Bai are both in Jijingzhou, it's okay."

Gu Mang raised his eyebrows, "Be careful."
