I'm getting weirder and weirder.
Why does this scumbag have to bring Niuniu with him for half a year?
What is the ulterior motive?
just didn't wait for Li Pingping to answer.
Suddenly, a shrill voice sounded outside the courtyard.
"What are you asking for? You unproductive goods! You can't do this thing! I have to come forward!"
As she spoke, a middle-aged woman walked in arrogantly.
When Li Pingping saw this woman, her body couldn't help shaking.
This is Xu Chaochao's mother?
That vicious, critical, unreasonable and unreasonable woman?
Through Li Pingping's words, I already knew that what happened to her at the beginning, of course, was because she met someone unladylike, and she met an irresponsible scumbag like Xu Chaochao.
But Xu Chaochao's mother also played a very bad role in it.
What is she doing now?
Fighting tiger brothers and going into battle with the women's army, this is to see that Xu Chao is not good for surpassing the division, so he came to help?
......
"Mom......" Xu Chaochao asked a little weakly when he saw his mother coming.
"Don't call my mother, I don't have a son like you! It's not that your mother looks down on you, what a big deal? Let you procrastinate, it's been almost half a month, and I don't have an eyebrow, and I have to let my mother come out to settle it!"
When Xu Chaochao saw his mother coming, he immediately lost his temper.
Bow your head and step back.
Silenced.
Sure enough, it's a mom boy.
Mother Xu came to Li Pingping's front and sneered: "Li Pingping, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, and I don't care about the fact that you secretly gave birth to a child at the beginning! Now you hurry up and let that little girl go with us, don't give me the hypocrisy of pretending there! Don't be embarrassed to be embarrassed! You are embarrassed to do those shameless things you have done, and I am embarrassed to say it! Is it a bit of a delay to treat you as a human being now?"
Li Pingping looked at Mother Xu coldly: "I have already said it, I don't agree." ”
I helped on the side: "Not only Sister Pingping disagrees, but the child also disagrees." Just now it was your son's idea to let Niuniu choose who to live with, and now the child has said that she is not willing to go with you, what are you still entangled?
Mother Xu looked at me: "You are Qiao Huanxi, right? When I investigated before, I knew that there was such a number one as you, and you were a dog-headed military advisor by Li Pingping's side." But it's useless for anyone to come up with an idea about this, we have to decide this kid. ”
As she spoke, Mother Xu glared at Xu Chaochao fiercely: "Are you stupid?
Xu Chaochao lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
Mother Xu finished her threat, then looked at us, and said with a straight look: "Listen, if you are interested, take the initiative to hand over the child! If you don't know how to lift, let's wait for the lawsuit! We'll see you in court!"
Saying that, Mother Xu took Xu Chaochao and walked away arrogantly.
......
Mother Xu is really much more ruthless than Xu Chaochao.
The next day, a lawyer's letter had been delivered to Li Pingping.
Xu Chaochao has already gone to the court to sue and ask for a change in the custody of the child.
The court will hear in half a month.
Since we have to go through the judicial process, we can't help but pay less attention to it.
So we also found a lawyer and asked if the trial really happened.
What will the judge decide.
......
The lawyer we are looking for is well-known in the city.
And enthusiastic about public welfare, he has fought a lot of public welfare lawsuits.
He is a lawyer who can get close to the suffering of the people.
That's why we came to her.
Because of Li Pingping's special background, we are worried about finding other lawyers, looking for those arrogant lawyers.
Because they look down on Li Pingping, they don't do their best.
This lawyer is also a female lawyer, so I think I can better understand the feelings of a mother.
......
The female lawyer is very serious and enthusiastic.
After listening carefully to what we said, he sighed.
"Ms. Li Pingping, listen to me, you have little chance of winning this lawsuit, I think the judge is very likely to award custody of the child to the man. ”
Li Pingping and I listened, and our hearts were cold.
"Why? I raised the child alone, and I always stayed by my side. Li Pingping asked.
"Ms. Li, with all due respect, although the child was raised by you alone, there are several factors that are very unfavorable to you now. First of all, you do not have a stable residence and income, and in terms of material conditions, you are much worse than the child's father, and from the perspective of the child's growth, it is still the child's father who has an advantage. Secondly, it is your past experience, I know that you have a hard time, but in the judge's heart, it is difficult for anyone to say what he thinks of you. Will the judge feel that your experience is complicated, that your character is problematic, and that your morals are flawed, so it is not conducive to the growth of the child? I think that as for your background, it must be in court, and the opposing lawyer will desperately attack and make a big fuss, so please be mentally prepared. ”
The female lawyer paused: "You must be very mentally prepared, the other party's lawyer will not show mercy." He will attack you with nasty words, even very vicious language, to stimulate your emotions. But remember my words, don't get excited, and don't make a lot of noise. Because if you get out of control and collapse, you're in the other person's trap. ”
Li Pingping sighed: "I know, I can bear it." ”
I couldn't help but say, "But lawyer, Niuniu herself is unwilling to leave her mother, won't the judge consider this?"
The female lawyer smiled bitterly: "The child is still young and not yet an adult, so her opinion can only be used as a reference, but it will not become a decisive factor." ”
Li Pingping's gaze was a little gloomy.
Dumb asked: "So, I can't keep Niuniu's custody?"
The female lawyer was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.
"Is there no other way?" I asked.
"That's all I can think of...... Of course, in such a lawsuit, the statement in court is very important, so my opinion is that if you want to win the case, you might as well call on those more famous barristers. Their experience, connections and influence are all incomparable to me, and they have a better chance of winning. To be honest, I am very sympathetic to your affairs, and I also hope that you can win such a lawsuit, so I will give you such a proposal. The female lawyer said sincerely.
We are all very grateful to this female lawyer.
Knowing that she really thinks about us, otherwise there is absolutely no reason to give up the business to others.
After sending the female lawyer away, Li Pingping and I fell silent.
Well-known barristers, where to look?
More importantly, if you find it, can people come forward?
That kind of barrister, who usually takes over big cases, either has great social influence and attracts attention, or the amount of money involved is very large, and the agency fee is astronomical, how can he take over a small case like ours that in their opinion, is insignificant?
Not to mention, can we afford the expensive lawyer's fees?
I guess we just pay double the lawyer's fee, and no one will take a second look.
But now that you have a way, you have to give it a try.
I thought about it and thought that someone might be able to help.
Wen Shaonian!
Among all the people I know, only Wen Shaonian has the highest level of contact.
Because the Wen family is also the top-level family in the provincial capital.
Wen Shaonian will have such a network.
And I still clearly remember that in the previous case of Ma Mingming's revenge on the scumbag Zhou Jie, it was Wen Shaonian who played a very key role.
So that Ma Mingming did not receive a very serious punishment.
It also saved me, who was obviously involved in the action, from being held accountable.
So now about Niuniu, is it okay to go to Wen Shaonian for help?
I comforted Li Pingping for a while and went back to my room, without telling her what I thought in advance.
lest she have hope and end up disappointed.
Because I don't know if Wen Shaonian will help in the end.
After all, I've turned him down so many times.
Now he took the initiative to go to Wen Shaonian for help.
No matter what Wen Shaonian thinks, I myself feel that I am very excessive.
Very selfish, very unreasonable.
......
I took out my phone and entered Wen Shaonian's number.
The last time I contacted Wen Shaonian, it was a text message of Spring Festival blessings sent to each other during the Chinese New Year.
Until now, I have been reluctant to delete it.
I took a deep breath and dialed the phone.
"Dut...... Honk...... Toot ......"
There was a call from inside the phone.
My heart also began to tense inexplicably.
There was even an urge to hang up the phone.
Because I don't know how I should greet the other party after Wen Shaonian is connected.
It's pretending to be casual and saying lightly, the weather is good today.
Or do you pretend to be deep and very literary and ask, how are you doing lately? Do you often look at the scenery of the distant mountains?
Or ask very sensitively, long time no see, I miss you so much, do you think I don't?
I had all sorts of scripts in mind.
But on the other side of the phone, it was still "beep...... Honk...... Toot ......"
It's still busy.
No one answered.
My heart is a little lost.
There was even a sour feeling.
Wen Shaonian, what the hell are you doing?
Although don't contact me in the future, that's what I said.
Although we really haven't been in touch a few times.
But now that I'm calling you, why don't you answer it as soon as possible?
Am I no longer important or special in your heart?
Or have you deleted my number and now treat my call as a nuisance that you can ignore it?
I feel sorry for myself in my heart, and I secretly scold myself on the other hand, Qiao Huanxi, you are too hypocritical!
Your thoughts are incomprehensible!
Wen Shaonian is also a person and has self-esteem.
People are so good, why can't you find a girlfriend?
Originally, it was already a kind of condescension to see you.
As a result, I was rejected by you, and now I don't block you, it's already very face-saving, okay?
What more do you want?
Don't want people, still hang on to other people's appetites?
I hope people will never marry you for life and be a bachelor for the rest of your life?
Joe Huanxi, you are so selfish!
......
When I complain and criticize myself in my heart,
The phone has hung up automatically.
I looked at the phone with the screen black, a little dazed.
20 minutes later.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Looking at the number on the caller ID, I was a little relieved, and I felt a little wronged, and I felt that I was really wronged.
The call went through.
"Huanxi, are you looking for me? I was playing football with my classmates just now, and I saw your call, is there anything wrong?"
Wen Shaonian's voice over there was a little out of breath.
"A little thing, I'm not in a hurry. "I said something insincere.
"What the hell is going on? If I can help, you're welcome. Wen Shaonian's words are always so refreshing.
"Can we meet and talk?" I asked.
Because this matter is indeed a bit complicated, I can't explain a sentence or two on the phone.
Also because, I also want to take this opportunity to meet Wen Shaonian.
"Okay, then you tell you where it is, I'll go find you. Wen Shaonian happily agreed.
"I'll go find you, I'll be there in an hour. I said to Wen Shaonian.
"Then there is a coffee on the island west of our school entrance, see you there. Wen Shaonian said the location, and we all hung up the phone.
In fact, from me, it doesn't take as long as an hour to take a taxi to Wen Shaonian's school.
The reason why I'm saying that it's a little delayed is that I want to dress up.
Now I do business every night, and I run around with Li Pingping during the day.
Wind and sun, not enough rest.
And too lazy to dress up.
Sometimes I don't even wash my face in the morning, let alone wipe my makeup.
Although I have cosmetics, they were given by Zhu Dan before, and they are said to be quite expensive.
So when I occasionally glanced at myself in the mirror, I found that I was really much haggard than before.
No woman really doesn't care about her looks.
Those women who say they don't care just haven't met anyone they care about.
This is the truth that women are pleasing to themselves.
Ordinary cats and dogs are not in a woman's heart at all.
Naturally too lazy to dress up for you.
But once you meet someone you value, then you naturally have to be a window and a mirror decal.
Take me, for example.
I don't care if anyone says I'm ugly.
But I don't want to show embarrassment in front of Wen Shaonian.
This is also the reason why I would rather keep my distance from Wen Shaonian, refuse his confession, and refuse to tell Wen Shaonian what happened to me in the past.
It's not that I don't love him.
It's not that I don't believe it.
but loved him too much.
Therefore, they are afraid of the head and tail, and suffer from gains and losses.
So after hanging up the phone, I not only looked in the mirror, but also started to choose what I wanted to wear when I went out.
I remember when I first came to the provincial capital, I only had the clothes I was wearing.
But now, I can change into dozens of clothes a day if I want to.
It's not that I'm so developed, it's that I'm selling clothes now.
Although it sells stall goods.
This is to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to eat the water.
......
But I dressed up and chose my clothes, but before I went out, I washed my face again.
Restored to the appearance of a plain face.
I took off the trench coat that was obviously a high imitation of a famous French brand, and wore the jacket and jeans that were most comfortable when I was working.
Because I suddenly felt that my own self-indulgence was ridiculous and meaningless.
Because the brighter I dressed, the more desolate my heart became.
I don't want Wen Shaonian to be amazed by my appearance.
I'd rather he always see me as ordinary and unremarkable.
That way, his love for me is more precious, isn't it?
......
I got out of the taxi and went into the café.
Because this is not the peak of the passenger flow, the café seems a little deserted.
There were only a few people.
As soon as I entered the café, I saw Wen Shaonian.
It's not just that he's handsome, but he'll be the center of attention in the eyes of others no matter where he is.
And because the position he was sitting in at this time was next to the café door and the window.
Get an unobstructed view.
I don't think it's funny.
Because few of the men and women who come to sit in the café really love coffee, they basically come for a date.
Since it's a date, you're willing to choose those more intimate corners.
The less noticeable, the better.
The less disturbed the better.
For example, now, in fact, I see that the couples of men and women in the café are basically in the corner of the wall.
Only Wen Shaonian stood out from the crowd and sat by the window.
Anyone who walks into this store can see him.
In other words, passers-by outside can easily see him as long as they look at him.
"This stupid wood. ”
I muttered to myself.
"Joy, here!" Wen Shaonian beckoned to me courteously.
"See. "I walked over and sat down.
sat opposite Wen Shaonian.
"I ordered two glasses of American, is it okay?" Wen Shaonian asked me.
"Yes, I don't know any of this anyway, and if you let me order it, I'll only be made fun of. I answered honestly.
I would never have come into this kind of café by myself.
A cup of coffee costs a few dozen yuan, not to mention that I don't have money, and I can't bear to be rich.
It's just that I've been with Zhu Dan once before, but I don't have any idea of what American, latte, or cappuccino on the price list is.
Whatever Zhu Dan ordered, I would drink.
Actually, I'm a good learner.
But I'm not going to learn that.
What petty bourgeoisie, literature and art, etc., have nothing to do with me.
It's Xiao Fen who used to be in the same dormitory, and she can treasure all of these.
"I'm sorry, you haven't touched this, I shouldn't have flaunted it to you. "Wen Shaonian sincerely apologized to me.
It made me a little embarrassed.
"How is it your fault? It's just that I don't know it. ”
The waiter served coffee.
Wen Shaonian looked at it for a while, and then said, "You came here, does he know?"
I didn't understand: "What?"
Wen Shaonian said again: "Even if I know, it's nothing, the reason why I chose this seat is that there is no cover here, someone testifies, and there will be no misunderstanding." ”
I understood.
Wen Shaonian always thought that I really already had a boyfriend.
It's the husband who is dead.
So he was worried that if I met him, would I get into any trouble?
That's why I sit so far outside.
It doesn't seem ambiguous with me.
Say you're stupid, you're quite careful.
You can be praised for being smart, but you are so stupid that it makes people laugh.
And he obviously cares a lot, but he pretends not to care, which makes me feel distressed.
So I deliberately said, "He doesn't know, and if he does, he will be very unhappy." ”
Wen Shaonian was a little nervous: "How is that good? You can explain to him, we are just friends meeting, it's nothing." ”
I interrupted Wen Shaonian's words: "But what if there really is?"
Wen Shaonian didn't understand: "What?"
"For example, how about me eloping with you? Didn't you like me before? Do you still count now?" I suddenly wanted to tease Wen Shaonian.
Wen Shaonian was taken aback by my words.
"Elopement......?
Yes, this is a man who is as gentle as jade.
How could you do such a deviant thing as elopement?
This is something that can only be done by a wild girl like me.
