Jia Shao's Quote ~~~ A man uses his lower body to think and if you don't use your lower body to think, then you are not a man!

***#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#***

Using her thumb and her index finger, she pinched the tender flesh inside of Zhen Lang's arm.

He calmly stretched out his hand and said. "My name is Zhen Lang."

The man eagerly grasped Zhen Lang's hand and suddenly he asked. "Your surname is Zhen?"

"Yes." Jia Shao answered very smoothly. "He took his father's surname."

The advantage of Chinese words is that in a simple sentence describing a specific situation, there can be many different meanings.

Suddenly the man understood. "I understand. I understand."

(Children will normally take the surname of the father and in this case, JS is saying that ZL's father is not her father. In this scenario, JS is insinuating that when ZL's mother married JS's father, she brought along ZL as a stepson.)

Zhen Lang threw a glance at her and received a silly smile in return. His eyes were dark and Jia Shao could not guess what he was thinking.

"Let's change a place to have lunch together. The Chinese restaurant in front......'Shu Wei' is not bad." Zhen Lang reached out his hand to touch his wallet and his calm response made Jia Shao lift up her head.

The man quickly made a move to take out his wallet first. "Let me."

Zhen Lang was not courteous and generously accepted the offer. In exchange, Jia Shao shot him a contemptuous look.

The man handed the money to the waiter and Zhen Lang swept his eyes over the man's expensive leather wallet. Suddenly his lips curved into a strange smile.

The three people calmly went downstairs and got into their own cars.

"Vet, why are you following us for a meal? Are you freeloading?" Jia Shao looked at the car behind them and narrowed her eyes.

"Didn't you say I am your brother? As your brother, is it too much to treat me to a meal?" His answer made her very unhappy but she could not do anything.

He did not ask for her opinion on her new blind-date and she was not that stupid to ask him about it either. She pressed her hand to her lower abdomen and began to think about what to eat for lunch.

In the exquisite reserved room, Zhen Lang picked up food from the dishes to put them in Jia Shao's bowl but he did not touch his food and chatted with the man.

"Is Mr. Xia working in Han Chang law firm?"

"Yes."

"Are you with Lawyer Zhu Han Chang? How is he currently?"

The man was surprised. "Do you know him?"

His Boss Zhu Han Chang is a well-known old lawyer in the province. He is already in this line for several decades and is considered a very powerful figure. He will only take on big cases and it is difficult to get his services. The man did not expect the young man in front of him to be acquainted with his Boss and it made him greatly surprised.

"We had a minor dealing."

It was really just a minor matter......just a minor operation.

Jia Shao looked up and about to say something when a pair of chopsticks placed a bunch of shredded bamboo shoots into her bowl accompanied by Zhen Lang's gentle voice. "Do you want to eat crabs?"

Someone thought for a while and revealed an expression that said - it doesn't matter.

Zhen Lang picked up a crab and slowly pulled off the legs one by one to lay them on the plate in front of him. Then he carefully broke open the shells, scraped out the meat exposing the oily yellow golden roe from the big shell and tender meat from the legs before putting them in Jia Shao's bowl.

This time, Jia Shao did not refuse and happily picked up the crab meat. Her eyes curved delightfully while she enjoyed her food and was too lazy to join the two men in their conversation.

"Ah!......" Zhen Lang looked as if he remembered something and turned to face Jia Shao. "Just now, Jia Ma was talking when the phone went dead. Will she think that you deliberately cut off her call?"

Jia Shao who was eating happily had a fright and the food between her chopsticks almost fell down.

According to the thoughts of the Empress Dowager, she would absolutely think of it that way and this was not something that Jia Shao could bear.

"No, I have to make a call and explain to her." Jia Shao who would always think of the worst scenario began to feel anxious and could not sit still any longer. She quickly jumped up and wanted to go out but was held down by Zhen Lang.

"I think my explanation is more effective than yours. I will go." Zhen Lang stood up and smiled at the man sitting at the same table. "I will go outside to call Mother. You can continue to talk to each other."

The word 'Mother' was said so smoothly that even Jia Shao almost thought it was true.

The man pulled out his cell phone. "Here use mine. Nowadays, it is not easy to find a public phone."

"Thank you." Zhen Lang picked up the phone on the table and politely left the room. He came back later and returned the phone to the man then he sat down next to Jia Shao.

After ladling a bowl of soup for Jia Shao, Zhen Lang once again chatted leisurely with the man. He did not look at Jia Shao and when she finished the food on the table, she felt full.

"Have you eaten your fill?"

Jia Shao touched her stomach to indicate she was full. Zhen Lang had a weird smile on his face and said. "It's good that you are full."

Suddenly, the door to the reserved room was pushed open by a pretty lady. "Excuse me......"

As soon as the words were said, she saw the man sitting at the table and said with surprise. "Yuan Xi, you are here."

A look of surprise and embarrassment flashed across the man's face. Zhen Lang took the initiative to stand up and said. "Since you know each other, you can join us."

Being a gentleman, Zhen Lang pulled out a chair for the pretty lady. The lady smiled and sat down close to Xia Yuan Xi and leaned against him. "If I had known Yuan Xi is here, I will not come."

Zhen Lang smiled and his mischievous eyes swept across them. "You are Mr. Xia's.......?"

"Girlfriend." The woman quickly replied and smiled at the man while the man's face had turned white and had an ugly expression.

At this moment, there was a crisp knock on the door.

Zhen Lang opened the door and his body either intentionally or unintentionally blocked the inside view of the room. Only the voice of a woman could be heard. "Hello, I am Xia Yuan Xi's girlfriend. I heard......"

Not waiting for Zhen Lang to act, a force pushed him aside from behind him and the pretty lady glared outside the door. "Who are you? When did you become Xia Yuan Xi's girlfriend?"

The face of the charming woman standing outside the door suddenly turned ugly and she rushed into the room without saying anything. "Yuan Xi, tell her whether I am your girlfriend!"

Jia Shao was biting on a little mantou and her big eyes flickered and moved between the two women without understanding what was going on.

"You seduced my boyfriend, vixen!" The pretty lady slapped her hand on the charming woman's hand which was gripping Xia Yuan Xi's hand.

"Why don't you look at yourself? Even if you offer yourself, no one will want you!" The charming woman was not an easy target to provoke and she retorted.

The voices of the two women were getting higher and higher and the speed of their speech was getting faster and faster. From cursing and swearing of a person, it progressed to cursing of each other's family and the war of words escalated fiercely to the amazement of the people in the room.

"I had aborted a child for him, why am I not his girlfriend?"

"What is so great about aborting one, I had aborted two!"

Jia Shao was dangerously choked by half a mantou. Is it the latest trend now to compare this kind of thing?

The man's face was getting uglier and uglier and he was about to speak when there was a knock on the door again. "I am Xia Yuan Xi's wife. I've come to take......."

This time, Zhen Lang did not have to move. The two women took the initiative to rush over and asked. "How many children did you abort for him? How can you consider yourself as his wife?"

The woman outside the door was stunned. "None!"

"Shameless!" The pretty woman snorted. "Yuan Xi, where did you hook up with these wild women?"

The charming woman was jumping mad. "Yuan Xi, where did these women appear from? Tell them to get lost!"

"What is going on here?" The woman outside the door came in and looked at the man who was cradling his head as he sat on the chair. "Xia Yuan Xi, you'd better explain clearly to me!"

Not one word came from the man and it was Zhen Lang who smiled and said. "They said they are Mr. Xia's girlfriends and you said you are Mr. Xia's wife. Who should I believe?"

"Girlfriends?" The woman lifted her eyebrows. "We are getting married next month. When did he have girlfriends?"

The voices of the three women combined as one voice and the volume soared in the reserved room. Jia Shao looked at the figures that were swaying back and forth in front of her and she completely could not grasp what was going on.

Zhen Lang lowered his head, leaned next to her ear and quietly asked again. "Have you eaten your fill?"

Jia Shao nodded and not waiting for her to speak, Zhen Lang had grabbed her hand. "Since you are full, we have to leave. I guess a fight is going to break out soon."

Jia Shao's eyes sparkled brightly. "This is lively entertainment!"

"Let's go out and watch." Zhen Lang grabbed Jia Shao's hand and dragged the curious baby out of the room. Before he went out the door, he looked at the woman who just came in. "One of them said they aborted a child for your fiancé, and the other said she aborted two children for your fiancé. Let your fiancé know that this practice is detrimental to a woman's body. It is not good."

As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed Jia Shao out of the door. Suddenly, a woman's scream could be heard followed by the crisp sounds of porcelain breaking on the floor. The noises all combined into a flurry of sounds.

Two people stood outside the door to listen to the fierce escalation of the battle and the man's useless explanation. Jia Shao held her tummy and laughed incessantly until Zhen Lang dragged her away.

As they stood beside the car, Jia Shao nudged Zhen Lang with her elbow and said. "Did you do that?"

"What?" His face was calm and innocent. "I am not his girlfriend, what can I do?"

She snorted. "Other people may not understand you but do you think I don't? Did you borrow his phone and then called those women?"

Zhen Lang gave a faint smile and he looked very handsome. "There are many contacts in the lawyer industry, so usually the phone numbers are categorized. I just flipped through his personal list and by mistake sent out a message to say that I have picked up a cell phone and asked the owner's friend to come forward to take it back from me. How would I know so many will turn up?"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Jia Shao turned sideways and said. "How did you know? He looks educated and cultured and did not speak anything over the limit."

"His eyes." He gave an unexpected answer. "When a man looks at a woman, there are many types of looks. Whether they intend to play around or be serious, it can be seen from their eyes."

"You just made a guess?" Jia Shao could not believe him. "What if you had made a wrong guess?"

"When he was taking money out of his wallet, there were two condoms in his wallet. If there are no women around him, why should he keep this kind of things with him?" He smiled and helped her to buckle her seat belt.

He could see clearly what was in the wallet. Can she say that his eyes are piercingly sharp?

When he was about to reverse the car when she said coldly. "Wait!"

Unbuckling her seat belt, she jumped out of the car. She trotted over to the man's car, squatted down and quickly grabbed a few stones on the ground. Then she pushed the stones into the exhaust pipe.

Patting her palms, she climbed back into the car and showed a fist to Zhen Lang. "Start driving!"

As the car moved smoothly on the road, Jia Shao propped up her chin and did not speak.

"Girl." Zhen Lang called her. "A lot of men go on blind-dates to take advantage of women and good men don't need to go on blind dates. You can't afford to lose at their game, so will you refrain from going for the time being?

She was too lazy to respond and continued with her thoughts.

Even if Zhen Lang had not broached this subject today, she had decided not to continue going on blind dates. She kept silent was because she could not figure out something.

Are men so casual? Like today, the man was going to be married and he still came out to play around with those women. The last time, the man had requested for his wife to be a virgin and he did not even practice self-discipline himself.

She raised her face and asked. "Vet, are you a virgin? Do you need to satisfy your needs? Or are you abnormal?"

*Ji!.......Ga!......*

Screeching sounds of the tires were heard when he braked abruptly and Jia Shao's face was fiercely smacked against the windscreen.
