044. First love
Seventeen hours.
Guan Zhinian spent the night here?
He had said that he wanted to buy a house before, but she had already made it clear that it was best not to buy it, and when she went to check the marital property today, she didn't see any relatively large expenses from him recently.
What is he doing here?
She returned home with a lot of doubts, and Li Jiu was holding Guoguo and playing a game on the sofa.
Seeing her come back, Li Jiu looked at her face and said, "Your expression is very bad." β
"I'm going to cook. Jiang Jing touched Guoguo's little face, kissed her fleshy face, and then dragged her tired body to the kitchen to wash vegetables.
"Mom, how are you doing? Are you busy? No, I'll come back to help you. β
While cooking for Guoguo and Li Jiu, she called Du Wenli at the same time.
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about it, you just do your job. Du Wenli was very noisy, and the sound of gongs and drums could be faintly heard.
According to the customs of her hometown, on the first anniversary and third anniversary of a person's death, she had to hold a banquet to entertain guests, and she had to set up a banquet for three days in a row.
"It's okay to go back, are you? Those uncles and aunts, they didn't embarrass you, did they?"
After Jiang Xuecheng defrauded the villagers, he defrauded the villagers of a lot of money, and their two sisters and brothers, Jia Du Wenli, were scolded at the door every day by the people who came to collect debts.
Even if she divorced later, the court ordered Du Wenli to repay the unrecovered part of the arrears, so angry that she almost crashed to death at home.
"I don't owe them anything, love it. You don't have to worry about it, win this lawsuit first, otherwise I won't go to the sea market, it's a shame. After Du Wenli finished speaking, she hung up the phone directly without waiting for her to say more.
After the meal was cooked, she lost her appetite, ate a few bites hastily, and then went to the study to sort out the materials and read the relevant legal provisions.
Guoguo is very well-behaved, and when the time comes, she goes to sleep by herself, not noisy or noisy.
She was busy until late at night, when Guan Zhinian's call came.
was so upset that she didn't want to pay attention to him, but he was Party A's father, so she couldn't ignore it, and it took a while for her to get on the phone.
"How, what to call. Guan Zhinian's lazy voice came.
Jiang Jing turned on the speakerphone, his fingers tapped the keyboard quickly, and replied nonchalantly: "It's okay now." β
"You don't think I'm going to this messy dinner party, do you?
He sneered, but received no response from her, and asked, "You went alone, what are you doing there, it's useless." Do you think that if I show my face, all this will be written off?"
Jiang Jing tapped his hand on the keyboard, took a deep breath, and said coldly: "Whether you go or not is your freedom, I have no right to interfere." β
"Okay. Guan Zhinian sighed faintly, "I've been a little busy lately, Lin Xiao will be back soon, just contact him if you have something." β
After finishing speaking, without waiting for her to ask more, Guan Zhinian hung up the phone in a hurry.
She didn't even have time to ask him why he was here, and if he was spending the night here, whether he was at a friend's house, or if he had rented a new house for himself.
Forget it, she really felt sorry for him yesterday.
After finishing her work, she turned off the computer, Guoguo was already asleep, she lay down next to her lightly, smelled the milk on her body, and had a rare good night's sleep.
Early the next morning, she got up and looked at the trend of public opinion, and sure enough, it was much more than she expected, most of them were talking about how Guan Zhinian was doing, and it was within her acceptability.
After breakfast, Gu Zhao called over and asked about Guoguo's situation, she thought that she should also take Guoguo to continue treatment, so she made an appointment with him and went straight to the hospital.
After Guoguo came for treatment last time, she was still much more cheerful, this time she didn't take Guoguo in, but waited on the sofa outside.
Twenty minutes later, Gu Zhao led Guoguo out, only to find that he had taken off his white coat and changed into civilian clothes.
"Actually, I'm resting today. β
Gu Zhao smiled at her, "I just thought, we haven't talked about the old days for a long time." β
"We are not in a relationship where we can renew the old days. Jiang Jing replied coldly.
"Then, if I want to entrust you with a private lawsuit, can't I?" Gu Zhao asked persistently.
"I'm just a divorce lawyer. β
"That's right. Gu Zhao smiled bitterly, and then walked in front of himself, "I'll wait for you in the cafΓ© downstairs." β
Jiang Jing twisted her eyebrows and pestle in place, thought for a while, and then led Guoguo to follow.
Gu Zhao was waiting for her downstairs.
"I'm sorry, I will be Mr. Guan Zhinian's personal lawyer in the future, and I won't take on other cases. There's not much to talk about between us. β
Jiang Jing spoke quickly, as if she didn't want to say anything more to him.
Gu Zhao glanced at her hurtfully, and when he saw that she was leaving, he couldn't help but reach out and grab her wrist.
"Jiang Jing, the previous thing was my fault, I shouldn't have let my mother do those things that hurt you, I shouldn't let go of your hand like a coward......"
"The surname is Gu!"
A sharp female voice suddenly sounded, Gu Zhao grabbed her hand for a moment, and then quickly let go.
Not far away, a woman was dressed in jewelry, tall and hot, and a short skirt with suspenders set off her figure exquisitely, making people can't help but take a few more looks.
"Why are you here?"
Before he could finish his sentence, the woman strode over and slapped him in the face.
With a "snap", his handsome face instantly turned red.
Jiang Jing was taken aback by this sudden situation and pulled Guoguo behind her.
"I'm clamoring to divorce me, it turns out that I have someone else outside. The woman sneered, her fierce gaze fell on Jiang Jing's body, and while she was appeasing Guoguo, she came up and grabbed her hair.
Before Jiang Jing could react, she was slapped firmly on the face.
She was beaten to the brink and took several steps back.
Guoguo cried out with a "wow", hugged her thighs and called "Mom." β
"Your children are so old and you're still here to seduce other people's husbands, you're really thick-skinned!"
The woman's voice was very loud, and Guoguo's crying instantly attracted many onlookers to watch the play here.
"Wow, the original match caught the junior, there is a good show to watch!"
"This little three even has children, and it's really amazing. β
"Oh, who knows whose child, maybe this man's child!"
Everyone looked at me with undisguised malice, adding fuel to the current not so good situation.
Jiang Jing stroked her hot face and protected Guoguo in her arms.
"Please figure out the situation before you speak, otherwise it will be a frame-up!"
"It's so reasonable to do three, everyone is commenting, just now you and my husband were holding my little hand, and now you are still saying that I am framed, oh, I'm blind?" The woman glared at her viciously, and when she stepped forward, she wanted to scratch her again, but Gu Zhao dragged her back.
"Have you made enough trouble? Have you made enough trouble, and we will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the divorce procedures now. β
Gu Zhao's words undoubtedly poured oil on the woman's anger.
"Divorce? Why do you want a divorce for such a good thing? Look at me killing this vixen today, you will die of this heart!" the woman said, throwing down the bag in her hand, and rushed up to scratch Jiang Jing like crazy.
"I'm a psychiatrist, I can't cure your mental illness, don't hurt the innocent, let's get together and disperse. β
Gu Zhao stood between her and Jiang Jing, and her face was scratched by her sharp nails.
"I'm sorry Jiang Jing, I'm really sorry, you go quickly, it's my fault, it's all my fault. β
He didn't look back at her, just apologized to her over and over again.
"Want to leave? Are you still unreasonable? Everyone, you see, this adulterer and adulteress, dating during work hours, are still divorced one by one, and he is still protecting the three!"
The woman's crying aroused everyone's righteous indignation, and many people surrounded Jiang Jing in the middle and pointed and pointed not to let her go.
Guoguo kept crying in the back, and she was afraid that Guoguo would be hurt, so she had to hold her in her arms.
"It's really morally corrupt, whoever destroys other people's families deserves to die, you still run, where are you going? You are so shameless, and the daughter you taught is also shameless!" The woman was stopped by Gu Zhao, but she still couldn't stop her mouth, and the shrew scolded the street for a long time.
Jiang Jing's footsteps paused, pursed her lips and listened to her scolding, then put down Guoguo, turned around, and gave her a neat slap.
The woman was blinded by her beating, and her scolding mouth finally stopped.
"Don't think that everyone wants you as a bad husband, all the men around me are better than him, instead of spewing blood here, it is better to go back and look in the mirror and see how ugly you look now. β
She said coldly, watching the woman's nosebleeds come out, snorted coldly, and glanced at her gloomily, "I can't blame others for my failed marriage." This slap is for you!"
After she finished speaking, she hugged Guoguo and glared fiercely at the onlookers who were blocking her way, and then she got out of the crowd.
Ignoring the frantic scolding behind her, she went back to the car and locked the door.
"I'm sorry, Guoguo, my mother didn't protect you well, was it scared?"
Guoguo sobbed quietly from the side, and she sighed heavily, and stepped forward to caress her tear-wet face.
"Mom, she's a bad person, she hits mom...... Mom, Guoguo will give you a shir, it won't hurt......" Guoguo's immature little hand stroked her slightly swollen face, crying so much that Jiang Jing's eyes were sour.
She is really not a good mother, Guoguo followed her and endured too much blame and ridicule.
The mobile phone rang in her bag, and she glanced at it, and it was actually Fu Xinran calling.
She had forgotten about his return home.
"Jiang Jing, what about picking up the airport?" Fu Xinran laughed at the other end, with some anger in his warm voice.
"You're there now?"
"Well, just landed. My little apprentice came to pick me up, and I happened to communicate something with you. β
Jiang Jing glanced at the time and cleared her throat awkwardly, "I'm sorry senior, I forgot about it, I'm still in the city center now, and it will take more than forty minutes to set off." β
"It's okay, I'm tired after more than ten hours on the plane, I'll wait for you while drinking coffee. β
Fu Xinran hung up the phone happily.
She had no choice but to buy an ice pack and drive to the airport while applying it to her swollen face.
Fifty minutes later, she arrived.
Fu Xinran was sitting in the cafΓ© inside, holding a foreign language book in his hand, looking at it complacently, not impatient, very gentle.
Seeing her coming panting, he smiled kindly and turned his head to greet Guoguo behind him.
"Guoguo, do you remember your uncle?"
Guo Guo had just cried, his eyes were still red, and he was not in a very good mood at this time, so he hid behind Jiang Jing when he looked at him.
"Hey, uncle is sad, uncle also brought you a gift from far away!"
Fu Xinran pretended to be sad and shook his head, and for some reason, Guoguo was about to cry again with a pouted mouth.
"Are you scolding the child?" Fu Xinran raised his eyes to look at Jiang Jing.
"Nope. Jiang Jing tugged at the corners of her mouth, "I didn't buy ice cream when she was on the road just now, so she lost her temper." β
"That's your fault. Fu Xinran smiled, then beckoned to the waiter, bought a small HΓ€agen-Dazs for Guoguo, and the three of them set off back to the city.
Jiang Jing has been covering it with her hair, but Fu Xinran didn't see anything unusual, and her attention was on the cute and lovely Guoguo.
"By the way, how are you doing? I was worried about you after calling you last time. β
After coaxing Guoguo to eat the ice cream, he asked.
"I didn't have anything to do, so I chatted with Mr. Guan for a few words. Jiang Jing replied lightly.
"I haven't been able to contact him lately, so what is he doing? Fu Xinran said, unbelievingly took out his mobile phone and called Guan Zhinian again, and the other end was turned off again.
"Look, either no one picks up or turns off. β
Jiang Jing tugged at the corners of her mouth and didn't answer.
What he's doing, she doesn't know.
"How's the case going?" threw away the stubble of Guan Zhinian, and the topic returned to the divorce case.
Jiang Jing knew that he also wanted to use his experience to help her, but at present, there was very little they could do on their own, except for doing some evidence collection, visiting the hotels that Guan Zhinian often visited, and applying for monitoring, she couldn't do anything.
After all, while she was filling in the gaps, he was desperately stabbing Lou Zi.
"That's it, the court just accepted it yesterday. I don't know when I will be able to schedule pre-court mediation. β
Fu Xinran nodded, "It's okay, for a case like his that involves a lot of people, the time span must be very long, and there may be an appeal to the second instance, so you have to be prepared to fight a protracted battle." β
"I see, senpai. Jiang Jing nodded.
"How has your life been lately, and has it caused you any trouble?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Jing glanced at him hesitantly.
"Senior, that's the case, in order to visit Mr. Guan's female companion for verification, he gave me a folder, which is full of files of various girls, but there is a photo from a few years ago that I don't know, you have known him for several years, I don't know if you have seen it. β
Fu Xinran smiled indifferently, "A few years ago, he was still an innocent young man, show me the photos." β
Jiang Jing unlocked the phone and handed it to him, "In the album." The album name is the party. β
Fu Xinran flipped over, and suddenly his hand paused slightly, "What did you say, is this?"
Jiang Jing quickly raised his eyes and glanced at it, he really found the photo, so he nodded, "That's it, I can't contact her......"
"Well, of course you can't get in touch. Fu Xinran smiled kindly, "This is the first girlfriend of the year." β
The ...... of the year of the closure First love?
"The two met abroad back then, it can be said that it was love at first sight, and she was the only one who was willing to introduce her to me when she was young. But then it didn't turn out well. β
Fu Xinran said, shaking his head helplessly, "The two were going to get married when they returned to China, but they suddenly broke up." Later, the girl got married, and with his temperament, it was impossible for him to go back to find someone else, so that's all. You don't have to look it up. β
"Oh, I see. Jiang Jing nodded and didn't say anything more.
"Speaking of which, the luck of the year is really bad, I told you before, he had a bad life, he went abroad and came back, he wanted to open his own company to prove himself, and his good friends together, but the result was ......"
"As a result, what's wrong?"
As a result, as soon as the company got a little better, the other party suddenly wanted to break up with him and dumped him. β
Jiang Jing really didn't know that he had such a past, and there was no such paragraph written in those gossips, but when he heard that he was dumped, he knew that it was very unkind, but he still felt very novel.
"Therefore, there is no good for no reason, and there is no evil for no reason, and the reason why the year has become like this, you will understand when you experience it. β
Fu Xinran is very thoughtful, in fact, from her subtle expression, it can be seen that she is a little dissatisfied and incomprehensible with Guan Zhinian's performance, which is also reasonable.
After all, except for him, no one can stand Guan Zhinian's style.
It's hard for her.
Jiang Jing knew the meaning of his words, and nodded seriously, "I know, thank you, senior." β
"Why are you so polite. Fu Xinran said, his eyes fell on Guoguo, "You have been taking care of children alone recently, it's very hard, right?"
"It's okay, my friend helped with it. β
"Hmm. Fu Xinran didn't ask any more, just busy amusing Guoguo.
When he returned to the city, he said that he wanted to go back to his office, Jiang Jing sent him downstairs to the office, but he saw Guan Zhinian getting off his green sports car with a lot of wind.
He took off his sunglasses in a dashing manner, and his narrow eyes looked at the two of them for a while, and then he hooked his lips and smiled.
"Tsk, old man, I also said that I would surprise you by catching the wind and washing the dust, but now it's good, I've become a light bulb. β
Guan Zhinian's evil eyebrows and eyes raised slightly, and he said meaningfully, Yun Danfeng waved his hand at them lightly, "Okay, then I won't bother, you chat." β
"Uncle!"
Guoguo leaned on the window of the car and shouted crisply, closing the hand of the car door.
"Little one, do you want to play with your uncle? Your mother and this handsome uncle have something to discuss, and your uncle will take you to the playground to ride the merry-go-round?"
