第 37 章
Meeting Again
Gao Yan entered A University and studied what he always wanted to read to study: architecture.
After pancreatic cancer surgery, Yan Yuhua was recuperating. Her career was gradually slowing down, and she began to focus more on her family. Gao Chen was mindful enough not to go out and fool around.
During winter vacation in his freshman year, Gao Yan enjoyed a rare period of peace and tranquility at home.
On New Year’s Eve, the family got together and had a happy reunion dinner. The next day, Gao Yan went to visit his former high school teachers with gifts. When he arrived at the math teachers’ house, a girl in a down jacket just came out.
“Teacher Jiang, I’ll be leaving first.”
The girl’s back was to Gao Yan. The familiar voice was Yu Huan.
As Gao Yan approached, she turned around.
The moment their eyes met, Yu Huan paused slightly. She clearly recognized him, but didn’t greet him.
“Teacher Jiang, Happy New Year!” The classmate who was invited by Gao Yan to go with him looked at the corridor a few times and entered the house. He asked, “Was that girl the math representative of Class 7 just now?”
“Yes,” the teacher nodded. “She changed quite a lot, right? I almost didn’t recognize her when she came in.”
Gao Yan remembered what he saw in the corridor.
Her features were still the same, but with a rounder face and whiter skin, her entire temperament was completely different. It was as if she had suddenly changed from unconscious to glowing.
Gao Yan discovered for the first time that Yu Huan was quite beautiful.
In the following years, whenever Gao Yan spent the New Year in F City, he would go to the math teacher’s house to pay New Year’s greetings, but he would never see Yu Huan again.
Until two years after graduating from college. He went to the math teacher’s house as usual to pay a New Year’s greeting. The teacher had a relative’s child who wanted to major in law. Gao Yan saw the teacher retrieve Yu Huan’s phone number from his address book and call her.
“Hello, Yu Huan… it’s Teacher Jiang… Hey, Happy New Year… Are you spending the New Year in the capital again this year?… Really? You’re planning to settle down there… Did you find someone there?… Oh, you’re getting married? Congratulations…”
The math teacher talked to her for a while before handing the phone to the child to ask for Yu Huan’s advice.
It was during the math teacher’s conversation that Gao Yan learned more about Yu Huan’s current situation. After passing the law exam, she entered an excellent law firm, got a boyfriend, and was preparing to get married and settle down in the capital.
It seemed like life was quite good.
Who would have thought that two years later, at Zhongyou Law Firm, Gao Yan met Yu Huan again.
Gao Yan looked at the person standing at the door.
She was dressed professionally in a neat black overcoat with a button down shirt and pencil skirt underneath. A scarf covered her long white neck, and her black hair was curled. She wore a pair of glasses, and she looked experienced and dignified.
She was very different from the thin school girl in his memory.
She knocked on the door and placed the coffee down. “President Gao, Fred has already arrived downstairs. He will come up soon. You can have a cup of coffee first.”
The voice was still familiar, but it had a more mature charm.
The bright sunlight came through the window. She smiled politely at him. After six or seven years, her eyes were still clear, but she also learned to remain calm and collected.
He could no longer tell from that gaze whether she still remembered him.
“Thank you,” he replied.
“You’re welcome,” she said, turning and carefully closing the door.
He watched her leave through the glass door.
She was even prettier than when he saw her during his winter vacation freshman year. She had even shoulders, curvy chest, waist, and hips, and long and well proportioned legs.
Even though her winter clothes were thick and heavy, it was difficult to conceal her proportions and upright posture.
“That’s a new worker from our law firm who just resigned from a well-known law firm in the capital. She is unmarried.”
While Gao Yan was lost in his thoughts, Fred had already arrived. He looked at him with a smile as if he was asking, Do you have a crush on her?
Gao Yan controlled his gaze and said, “Let’s get down to business.”
In an hour, Gao Yan and Fred finished talking about business.
Fred walked him to the elevator, and as he passed the bathroom, Gao Yan bumped into Yu Huan again. She was forced to wear a dress because of Clara. She had Yu Huan change into it quickly since she had to see a client tonight.
Clara was a long time employee at Zhongyou. She was not very professional, but she was good at maintaining various client relationships. She was considered a social butterfly in Zhongyou. At the dinner table, she easily made food jokes, and did not have a problem drinking.
Gao Yan glanced at Yu Huan’s dress and realized what was going on. He frowned and turned to Fred. “Did you ask Clara to take her?”
Gao Yan questioned, “She is a graduate of a well known school and worked for a top law firm. If you just let her go to the event with Clara, don’t you think it’ll be a waste?”
“There’s a limit in our resources, there’s nothing I can do about it. We also need to make a living.” Fred rubbed his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed. He looked at Gao Yan again. “Hey, I remember just saying she came from a law firm in the capital. How did you know it’s a top law firm? How did you also know she graduated from a well known school?”
“We are high school classmates,” Gao Yan could only admit.
“Oh… old classmate?” Fred looked at him with a curious expression. “Do you want me to take her?”
Gao Yan didn’t answer. After Fred took him to the elevator doors, he turned to look at him and said, “If you’re free on Sunday afternoon, you should go to Meilan and play a few rounds of golf.”
On Sunday, Gao Yan went to play golf with some bosses in Meilan. Fred “happened” to be there, too. Gao Yan pulled him over and introduced him to the bosses.
Fred quickly developed a new source for legal cases.
He had to return the favor, and Fred was very discreet. Instead of asking Yu Huan to go with Clara to the event, he took her personally.
