Chapter 89: His True Heart
Xue Zhengping's heart was full of heaviness, and he was also faintly impatient with his crying mother. If it weren't for the mother's intention to take shortcuts, how could she do the foolish thing of letting her 13-year-old daughter be adopted by a man who is separated from his wife!
"Please...... Let's go. Sent to the door of the lobby, Xue Zhengping spoke.
The mother looked at Xue Zhengping's cold eyes, and instantly understood that this was another lawyer who rejected her.
The mother who had no way to sue "pounced" and knelt down for Xue Zhengping.
"What are you doing!
The mother didn't mean to get up, she held her head high and wept: "No one will take this case, no lawyer, we can't win!"
"If you don't get up again, I won't care. ”
"You mean, you're going to manage?"
"Hurry up!"
The crying mother stood up obediently, wiped a handful of snot and tears, and bowed to Xue Zhengping. The white-collar workers who walked by cast strange glances.
Xue Zhengping's face was gloomy under the inquiring gaze of everyone.
He gave her his cell phone number and asked the mother to contact him after 12:20 p.m. That will be his free time after lunch.
That night, during dinner with Liu Miaomiao, Xue Zhengping accidentally slipped his mouth - maybe it wasn't "accidental", but subconsciously wanted Liu Miaomiao to know everything about him.
Liu Miaomiao, who learned that Xue Zhengping had made up his mind to divorce, was smiling one second ago, and the next second he heard that he was going to take trouble, and couldn't help but be shocked.
"Have you thought about the pros and cons?"
Facing Liu Miaomiao's questioning, Xue Zhengping nodded.
"No, I didn't ask rigorously. The question should be asked: Have you thought about the drawbacks?"
Xue Zhengping felt her care for himself from Liu Miaomiao's nervousness, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He chuckled and continued to nod.
"You're so unserious. Then tell me, what are the drawbacks?"
Xue Zhengping held Liu Miaomiao's hand across the table, and said with a straight face: "First, the protection of minors and Xing assault are not my specialty, and it is thankless to defend; second, I have just been trained by the firm, and taking on a case that I am not a specialist in will make the leaders and colleagues think that I am floating; third, this is a client that our law firm refuses, and I pick it up, and it looks too inflated." ”
Liu Miaomiao's face hated iron and steel: "Do you think there are only the above three drawbacks?"
Xue Zhengping said: "Please advise." ”
Liu Miaomiao was so angry by Xue Zhengping's soft attitude that she calmed down: "I'm not as smart as you, so I can't tell you anything." I'm just paraphrasing the views of the other lawyers within your lawyer. ”
Xue Zhengping tightened his little hand and said with a smile: "Listen up." ”
Lawyer Zhang Dawei said that in the case of the case, the adoption procedures were difficult to handle. Why was that person able to do it? This shows that that person is either hard-hearted or has strong means, in short, he is not an ordinary person.
Lawyer Chen Zhiming said that the current age of consent in China is 14 years old, and that person did it after the girl's 14th birthday. What does this mean? Either someone is supporting him, or he himself knows the law very well, and it can be assumed that he is unusually smart.
Lawyer Zhong said that the girl is now 19 years old, and many years have passed since the key qualitative events, and no evidence has been left. You and I both know that a lawyer can't just make something out of nothing with an incorruptible tongue, just explain the evidence, and the status quo is that there is no basis for words. Who can shake a tree out of thin air?
It's not over, but there's more, let me think about it. ”
Liu Miaomiao's slender index finger pointed at her temple, looking like she was struggling to reminisce.
The table was a little wide, and Xue Zhengping couldn't soothe the delicate little head that was thinking hard through the table. He could only rub her hand: "I have thought of what you said." The reason why I didn't say it just now is because I don't want to frighten you. ”
Liu Miaomiao raised her eyes to look at Xue Zhengping.
Xue Zhengping said slowly: "I understand, the other party is a big tree and a reef, and I am a float and an egg." Even if I took on this case under pressure, it would only be a waste of effort, and the defense would not win.
However, it is not possible to win before defending.
The lawyer's duty is to speak on behalf of the client and strive for the best interests of the client.
I can't win, but my presence, at least can put some pressure on that person. If you can get more people to put pressure on him, he may collapse under the pressure. And if everyone avoids him from their own interests, he will be unscathed. ”
Liu Miaomiao was surprised, and then said with a little mockery: "I am a little uncomfortable that you suddenly rise tall without warning!
Xue Zhengping's eyes lit up: "Miao Miao, you are really my confidant!"
"Less rainbow farts. Seriously. ”
Xue Zhengping cleared his throat and spoke very seriously: "The moment I saw that mother, I deeply felt that I was the one chosen by fate.
The crying mother, the 19-year-old client I had never met or even fit to be called a 'child', was my fate. If I don't take on this case, I will never have peace in my heart.
It sounds fantastical, but that's how I really feel. Miao Miao, I know I should avoid this commission like other smart people, but I, no, can. ”
Was Liu Miaomiao moved by Xue Zhengping's inner confession?
Not really.
Liu Miaomiao pulled out the hand that was held by Xue Zhengping, and threw the cloth napkin into Xue Zhengping's face with hatred: "Fart! In fact, you just want to atone for your sins!"
At that moment, Xue Zhengping's expression twitched uncontrollably.
Liu Miaomiao stood up "ho", picked up the small bag on the table, and turned around to leave.
Xue Zhengping was unusual, and did not chase it.
He just sat at the table, his expression just now was completely gone, and there was only loneliness on his face.
When the weeping mother called out one by one to "save the child", his heart was tormented, when he accidentally swept the mother with tears flowing down, his heart was also tormented, and when he somehow thought of the word "stillborn", his heart was not only tormented, but heart-wrenching.
That sense of mission of "who else can I be" was born from nirvana in the pain that was higher and higher wave after wave.
Liu Miaomiao was right, in essence, he just wanted to atone for his sins by taking on this tricky commission.
He doesn't deserve to sit back and relax, he has to create some thorns and suffering for himself, which can be regarded as a par with the suffering Xiao Huang.
What's more, he worked hard to save a child regardless of gains and losses, so as to comfort the child who died because of him, and his father had him in his heart.
As for whether he can defend and win, it is not within his scope of thinking.
Of course, once he takes over, he will do his best.
Xue Zhengping was falling into the tragic and heroic atmosphere he had created, and unexpectedly a strange voice sounded beside him.
"Did I hear me right? You took over Kang Jingqiong's defense commission...... Oh, don't look at me so surprised...... Wait, are you surprised that I'm sitting right next to you, or do you surprise that I know the client's name?"
