"No, don't get me wrong. ”

Jiang Jing replied in a good voice, and then glanced at her watch, "It's not too early, you go back to work quickly, you must contact me if you think about it." ”

Chen Xiaomin raised his eyes and glanced at her, didn't say anything, turned around and left.

Coming out of Liyan Law Firm, the wind and sun outside are scorching, and it has been dog days recently, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

After taking two steps, her back was drenched with sweat.

"Lawyer Jiang?"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded, and when she saw it, it was Guan Jingli.

She paused and smiled politely at him.

"Lawyer Jiang is here to do business?"

Guan Jingli wore a white shirt and black trousers, and the whole person still looked so tall and slender, with legs two meters long.

"Ah, let's talk about something. ”

Guan Jingli nodded slightly, and when he saw that she was leaving, he spoke again: "I won the lawsuit in the year, you have worked hard, I will invite you to have tea at noon, and consult something by the way." ”

Jiang Jing was a little surprised.

Is there anything Guan Jingli needs to consult her?

Except for the fruit thing I talked about last time.

She suddenly felt that although the two brothers, Guan Jingli and Guan Zhinian, had very different styles of acting, their brain circuits seemed to be similar, which ordinary people could not understand.

Sure enough, they are two good brothers.

"But I'm ...... now"

"I'll do my rounds and go. Wait a minute. ”

Guan Jing said sharply, then turned around and explained a few words to the assistant beside him, then stretched out his long arm and made a gesture of invitation.

“……”

She wanted to refuse, because she would have to be busy looking for a house later.

Moving out of Li's house, she can't always stay in a hotel.

And the balance of the commission has been called, and she still wants to show herself a car, running around every day, and it is indeed very inconvenient to have no car.

But the other party had already opened the car door for her gentlemanly, and she couldn't refuse, so she politely got into the car.

"There is a good teahouse nearby, please sit down and delay you for a while. ”

Guan Jingli said, his tone was faint and there was no emotion, and he drove the car skillfully and merged into the traffic.

The teahouse is indeed close, and Jiang Jing also knows here.

In the past, when she received some of the more important clients, she would sometimes do it here.

The environment is peaceful, no one is disturbed, and it is a good place to talk.

Guan Jingli seemed to be a regular customer here, and the waiter came up to greet him warmly, and the two sat down in a secluded corner.

"The case was won, and Lawyer Jiang contributed a lot. ”

He said politely lightly, Jiang Jing nodded, "It's just that what I should do, in fact, Mr. Guan Zhinian does it better." ”

He wasn't like that before. ”

Guan Jingli said coldly, raising his eyes to look at her.

No one expected that he would win the lawsuit this time, and the lines prepared by his family would not be used. ”

Jiang Jing pulled the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, and she answered.

"By the way, what are your plans after the case is over?"

Guan Jingli asked casually while watching the beautiful woman in Chinese clothes next to him make a tea ceremony for them.

seems to be chatting with her.

She knew that they weren't in a normal relationship with each other, but when asked, she had to answer out of politeness.

"I want to open a law firm and go back to my old business. ”

"Hmm. Guan Jingli nodded lightly, "Have you chosen the location?"

"Not yet. She lowered her eyes and smiled, "Just planned." ”

"I have a lot of office buildings under my name, if you need office space, just give me a call, and if the rent is concerned, it doesn't hurt to skip one. ”

Guan Jingli said lightly, although he was giving her benefits, there was no meaning of a high gift in his tone, which made people very comfortable.

The year of Guan is completely two extremes.

"That's embarrassing, I still have to give what I should give. ”

She was polite and polite.

"Originally, I thought that it would be a little late to recruit you into my company's legal department. ”

Guan Jingli took a sip of the tea that had just come out, Yun glanced at her lightly, and then added: "I thought you were going to be the private secretary of the year, I think it's a bit condescending." ”

“……”

Sure enough, it was Guan Jingli, and when he talked about his brother, he was ruthless.

"I don't have that plan, Mr. Guan's business scope may be a bit conflicting with mine. ”

She replied without a leak.

"I heard that you are Fu Xinran's little apprentice, and I am quite interested in you. ”

Guan Jingli said, his eyes were quite serious and serious.

"Thank you for your love, my strength is less than one-tenth of Mr. Fu's. ”

"I don't care if it's strong or not. Guan Jingli slowly took out his mobile phone and put it on the table, glanced at the time on the screen, and then raised his eyes to look at her, "Fu Xinran's father is Master Guan's personal secretary, and I fancy this one." ”

“……”

Jiang Jing didn't expect him to be so straightforward.

But there is something in the words.

"What do you mean?"

She asked, hesitantly.

"The last time you went to the Guan family's old mansion, you also heard it, the old man said, the distribution of property is so arbitrary, whoever has the great-grandson of the Guan family first can get most of the inheritance. ”

Guan Jingli said word by word calmly, and Jiang Jing heard it in a fog.

"I heard that I want to marry you. ”

"Ahem......"

Jiang Jing choked on a mouthful of hot tea and almost squirted rudely.

Guan Jingli looked at her frightened appearance, but she didn't move, and there was no expression on her face, like a big ice sculpture with cold feelings.

"There's no such thing. ”

Jiang Jing wiped her mouth and explained in a low voice: "That's all Mr. Guan's nonsense, how can I get his favor, don't take it seriously, I can't believe a word of his words." ”

"Hmm. ”

Guan Jingli nodded lightly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and lowered his eyes silently.

"Do you have anything else to say besides this?"

Jiang Jing felt that his expression was very elusive, so he took the initiative to ask.

"No, because he usually doesn't have a positive shape in the year, no one knows if what he said is true or false, if it is false, it is the best, it is true, it is estimated that you and your daughter have not had any peaceful days in the past two days. ”

Guan Jingli took a sip of tea, his eyes were as calm as water, like a deep sea.

"I don't know too much. Jiang Jing replied.

She really didn't understand why the Guan family kept holding on to her, a divorced single mother, and wasn't Guan a year long enough to wave? Wasn't there enough fish in the fish pond?

What is this lawyer who warns her of what she wants?

"This person has a strange nature, but he is also a member of the Guan family, and he finally won the lawsuit, so he can't be allowed to connect seamlessly, so let's do it?"

Guan Jingli explained slowly, and the meaning of his words was clear.

If Guan Zhinian gets together with his defense lawyer again, it will be more humiliating than losing a lawsuit.

"Don't worry, I'm not there yet. ”

Jiang Jing smiled, but didn't take his words to heart.

"Hmm. Guan Jingli nodded, and there was no follow-up.

Not long after, he turned his head to look out the window again.

"That friend of yours, Li Jiu, I've almost checked it. ”

He spoke coldly.

Somehow, when he heard the name of Li Jiu from his mouth, Jiang Jing's back stiffened suddenly, and a layer of goosebumps instantly appeared all over his body.

In such a low air conditioner, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her back.

"What do you mean?"

She asked in a low voice.

"I know where she's from, who she's from, and what she's going to do when she comes back. ”

Guan Jingli said lightly, but she heard a slight hint of threat in his tone, which was a little terrifying.

"She's young and impulsive, and I don't know her very well, it's just that I'm not a good person and I don't have many friends, and she helped me when I was in trouble, and I'm very grateful. ”

Jiang Jing pondered her words and deeds, and then raised her eyes to look at him inquiringly.

"If Mr. Guan knows some of her situation, can you tell me about it, I also want to know more about her. ”

Guan Jingli suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"Lawyer Jiang, you have always been shrewd and thoughtful, just because I am worse than you. ”

Jiang Jing somehow, her breathing was a little heavy, and she was suddenly a little afraid of the man in front of her who looked as deep as the sea.

"I don't quite understand what you mean. She calmed down and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"You know, I know, you don't know, I know, they all understand people, you don't have to talk to me like you talk to Zhinian. ”

Guan Jingli said, his eyes suddenly cold.

"What she wants to do to the Guan family, you shouldn't be ignorant. A smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "I don't mean to threaten you, I just want you to be a friend, persuade her well, don't think about it, the temper of the Guan family is not very good." ”

“……”

Jiang Jing was stopped by a few words from him.

It's not okay to continue to go along with it, and it's not okay to play stupid.

simply fell silent, hanging his head and not answering.

"Huh?"

Guan Jingli asked slowly.

"I don't have anything to do with her anymore. Mr. Guan, I've moved out of the house, you know?"

Jiang Jing explained coldly.

"Hmm. The choice is yours. ”

After Guan Jingli finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, as if he had already conveyed his meaning, and seeing Jiang Jing's somewhat flustered gaze, he also felt that his goal had been achieved.

"If you need any help, just say that more than eighty percent of the office buildings in Haishi are in my name. I'll tell my assistant to find a good lot later, after all, you've regained the number one spot now. ”

After speaking, he got up leisurely, and without even looking at her again, he turned and left.

Jiang Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and when he left, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in his chair.

This Guan Jingli is really as scary as his appearance.

I always felt that there was something in his words, and the threat was extremely obvious.

She suddenly became a little worried about Li Jiu.

After thinking about it, she took out her mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Li Jiu.

But after waiting for a long time, she didn't return.

I wanted to go to her, but after thinking about it, I didn't know that she was already living under the eyes of the Guan family, and her every move would threaten the safety of her family and Guoguo, so she gave up.

After taking a taxi, she went to the store she knew before to see the car.

Because Guoguo was also big, and Du Wenli was sick, she chose a car with a large space, paid the car in full, and went to get a temporary photo.

Driving the car back to the hotel, she thought about it on the sofa and always felt a little weird.

The words just now were like a thorn stuck in her heart, making her extremely uncomfortable.

It seems that the advice Guan Zhinian gave her was not his casual nonsense.

Although I don't know what it has to do with Guoguo and Jiang Xiaodong, the fact now is that her situation is really not good.

Because of Li Jiu's recklessness, she was targeted by the Guan family.

Stroking her eyebrows, she felt a little pain in her head.

The fatigue of these two days came to her like a tidal wave, and she went to take a shower, and then went to lie down on the soft big bed.

This is two and a half hours.

I also dreamed of Xiaodong who died.

Although she doesn't remember the contents of the dream, her whole person seems to have been drained of her energy, and she is extremely tired.

After thinking about it, she called Du Wenli.

"Are you done?" asked Du Wenli on the other end.

"Mom, I just dreamed that I saw Xiaodong, he should be complaining that I didn't go back to see him, you help me watch some fruit, I want to go back and sweep his grave. ”

Her voice was a little hoarse and her mental state was very poor, Du Wenli was already more superstitious than her, so after thinking about it, she responded.

"You can take a bus, it's too tiring to drive. Don't talk much to the messy old men in the township. ”

"Got it. ”

After telling Du Wenli, she found a small suitcase, brought a few clothes and necessary toiletries, and then set off.

Meixian County is indeed a little far away from Haishi, more than 300 kilometers, she drove slowly on the road, and when she arrived, it was almost dark.

There was nothing to stay at home, so she had to go to a nearby hotel for the night.

The next morning, she set off to Jiang Xiaodong's grave.

The neighborhood leaders didn't notice that she was back, and she was quiet.

At that time, when Xiaodong died, she had not yet made a fortune, so she found a piece of land in a cemetery and spent 30,000 yuan to settle his ashes.

She put the chrysanthemums she bought in front of his tombstone and began to help him tidy up the withered flowers in front of the tombstone.

A bouquet of fresh feverfew is particularly noticeable.

Although it was placed in the corner, it pierced her eyes at once.

More than a week has passed since Jiang Xiaodong's third anniversary, and the things that Du Wenli made have already been deformed.

It looks like someone else just sent the flower.

Probably a friend of Xiaodong.

She thought for a moment, left the fresh flowers, moved them to the side that had withered, and then took out the paper money and incense she had prepared, and lit them.

"Xiaodong, sister is sorry for you, I haven't come to see you for so long, you blame me, don't you? ”

While burning the paper, she chatted with Jiang Xiaodong to herself.

"Sister recently won the lawsuit, everything is fine, don't worry. Guoguo, I should have taken her to see you, but she has to go to school tomorrow!"

As she spoke, she took out her mobile phone, flipped out a photo of Guoguo, and placed it in front of the tombstone.

"The little girl grows really fast, and now it's all up to my navel, if you see it, you must love it very much. ”

Jiang Jing said and sighed faintly.

"Xiaodong, it's been three years, it's been three years since you left your sister, your mother, and Guoguo. ”

She lit three sticks of incense and inserted them into the incense burner in front of the tombstone, and reached out to scrub the faded photograph of him.

"After you left, no one called me sister anymore, and when I was tired from work, no one cooked for me or helped me carry my bag. ”

She said a little abruptly, and simply sat down tiredly.

After sitting for a long time, until the paper money fire was extinguished, she got up, patted the loess on her body, moved her legs that were already numb, and then slowly prepared to leave.

"Xiaodong, my sister is gone, and my mother has no one to take care of her when she is sick, but don't worry, if my sister wins the lawsuit, everything will be fine. ”

As she spoke, she reluctantly glanced back before turning and leaving.

Because the cemetery here is halfway up the mountainside, her car can only drive to the place below that sells white supplies, so she has to walk slowly.

After reading Xiaodong, she suddenly felt much more comfortable.

She said a lot of things that no one said, no one listened to, and the whole person was much more relaxed.

The signal on the mountain was not very good, she wanted to call Du Wenli, but she couldn't get out after broadcasting a few times, so she gave up.

She was going to stay another night tonight and go for a walk around town to-morrow.

Go to the place where Xiaodong was active before his death.

Starting the car, she paid the parking fee before she was ready to go down.

Unexpectedly, halfway up the mountain, a heavy rainstorm suddenly fell.

The rain fell like it was falling from the sky, clattering down on the roof of her car, and the visibility was getting lower and lower, so she had to stop on the side of the road.

Recently, it is the flood season, there is a lot of rain, often heavy rain, many places have been flooded recently, she also looked at the weather forecast before going out, but she didn't expect the rain to come.

She was in the car closing her eyes when she heard a loud bang on the door.

She was startled, there was a figure shaking outside, she took a closer look, it was a young girl, without an umbrella, and the whole person was drenched like a chicken in soup.

Jiang Jing opened the car window without thinking and handed her an umbrella.

"Thank you!"

The other party pulled his throat to thank her.

She wanted to ask her to get in the car to shelter from the rain.

But if you are not familiar with life, it is better to be cautious.

Bad guys don't put the word bad guy on their faces.

Locking the car again, she took out her phone to check the time, only to find a missed call.

At first glance, it was Lin Xiao calling.

She was about to go back, but she always said she couldn't get through.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the rain had subsided, and she drove all the way back to her lodgings, took a shower, and lay down in bed to rest.

After a while, there was a sudden knock on the door.

She didn't know anyone here, so how could anyone come looking for her?

Thinking about it, she got up and glanced at the cat's eye, and there was a tall man standing outside the door, dressed in black and wearing sunglasses.

"Jiang Jing, open the door!"

She was about to ask, when Guan Zhinian's impatient roar rang out.

"Why are you here?"

Jiang Jing opened the door with a confused expression, and slowed for a few seconds before asking, "You are following me?"

"What do you want to do if you call you and you don't answer?"

There are still water droplets on Guan Zhinian's forehead, and it seems that it has rained just now.

"Answering the phone or not seems to be my personal freedom. Jiang Jing glanced at him, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing. ”

Guan Zhinian rolled his eyes angrily, "The expert went to consult your mother in the morning, you are not even there, what do you want to do?"

“…… I didn't know there was such a thing. ”

Jiang Jing cleared her throat in disappointment.

Then he looked at him suspiciously, "So how did you make a phone call half an hour ago, and you can run here from Haishi in half an hour?"
