Cao Yun stood up a little depressed and walked out of the courtroom. In the aisle, Situ Yan brought a man and a woman and two students to wait, and saw Cao Yun come out to greet him: "Just came out?"

Cao Yun hurriedly said: "Senior, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were waiting for me." ”

Situ Yan looked like a senior, he didn't be polite with Cao Yun, accepted the apology, and said: "Let me introduce, Liu Pan, Ye Jiao, aspiring young people among the students I bring." ”

Cao Yun shook hands with them: "Hello. ”

Cao Yun shook hands with Liu Pan with one hand, Ye Jiao did not shake hands, but bowed and said, "Hello lawyer Cao." "Ye Jiao seems to be a girl who has practiced the least traditional local etiquette.

Situ Yan said: "I don't know if it's suitable or not, do you still want to do miscellaneous work in your law firm?"

Cao Yun understood Situ Yan's intentions and replied: "I don't need to do chores, but there is a shortage of assistants." It's okay on my side, Lu Yihang has a lot of cases, and Wei Jun can't always be his assistant. ”

Situ Yan said: "Okay, don't learn bad with Lu Yihang." ”

Cao Yun smiled: "Senior, you have something to say. ”

Situ Yan also smiled: "By the way, Ye Jiao's sister you know." ”

Cao Yun asked, "Who?"

Situ Yan: "Jiang Hanyue." ”

"Oh?"

Ye Jiao first bowed halfway, then looked at Cao Yun's eyes and explained: "My parents are divorced, my sister and my father, and I and my mother." "Words speak at a glance, words are clear.

Cao Yun nodded, not paying much attention to Ye Jiao. He cares more about Liu Pan.

Cao Lie has a family outside, and the other party originally had a daughter named He Yu, who was the president of Dongtang Dayang Fur. According to Chaohei's understanding, He Yu seems to have been blackmailed by a senior named Liu Pan, who would send money to Liu Pan regularly every month. Is this Liu Pan?

Cao Yundao: "Liu Pan is very young and is about to pass the graduate assessment?"

Situ Yan said: "No, I just graduated and went to graduate school." Be careful, Cao Yun, they all want to be prosecutors. ”

Cao Yun was surprised: "Future opponent, then I have to destroy it well." ”

Ding Pan was very clever and interjected at the right time: "It is also an honor to be destroyed by Lawyer Cao. ”

"Hehe, let's go. ”

The four of them laughed and walked out of the courtroom, Cao Yun saw Lu Yihang waiting on the side, and said, "I still have some things, if you can arrange your time, go directly to the lawyer's office to find Boss Gao after dinner." However, our law firm is far away, so you can consider living in a law firm. ”

Liu Pan said: "I have no problem, but what about my senior sister's fiancé?"

Ye Jiao seemed to be a little annoyed by Liu Pan's topic, and smiled a little reluctantly: "It's already broken up." ”

Liu Pan was obviously more studently, and he was very curious and ready to ask, Situ Yan said: "Cao Yun, you go and get busy, I'll call Gao Shanxing." ”

Cao Yun said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, then I'll leave first." ”

Cao Yun walked to Lu Yihang's side and beckoned to the three of them: "The two students of Situ senior, there is a shortage of people on your side, I hope they can help you." ”

Lu Yihang: "Lack of people?"

Cao Yun said: "Even if they are prosecutors, they have their own subordinates, except for the nine-tailed aliens. You should use your energy on the blade, and you should be able to instruct your subordinates to deal with idle chores. "After all, Wei Jun is not Lu Yihang's subordinate, and Lu Yihang is embarrassed to hand over some chores to Wei Jun.

Lu Yihang nodded and admired: "Lawyer Cao has opened my eyes every time, and I was shocked by what he said in court today." ”

"You don't have to be a sycophant. ”

Lu Yihang wanted to explain that he was not a sycophant, but it didn't matter: "I'll invite you to dinner, I set a place in Michelin and let Ye Lan come with me." ”

Cao Yun said: "Ye Lan knew that he would win the lawsuit today, so he prepared a table of dishes at home and asked me to invite you to eat at home." Let's go, get in the car. ”

"Go home, so suddenly?" This is the first time Lu Yihang has gone to Cao Yun's real home. Lu Yihang is not used to being so casual. Formal visits need to be prepared, at least a suitable gift. There are iron buddy friends who don't care about etiquette, and there are also good friends like Lu Yihang who insist on the courtesy of guests. Cao Yun's invitation made Lu Yihang feel very embarrassed: "Is it appropriate?"

Just like Cao Yun's first time going to Ouyang Yi's house for dinner, it was also notified in advance, and it was a very formal visit after preparation. Cao Yun thought for a while and didn't know how to answer, and said, "Get in the car." ”

"Oh. Lu Yihang said: "If you don't wait, I'll go open a room and take a bath." The sanitary conditions in the detention center are not very good, and my clothes have not been washed for many days, so I have to bring a souvenir to Ye Lan...... Lawyer Cao, it's not appropriate to suddenly go to the house for dinner, right?" "It's an impossible task, it's almost like dinner.

"Hehe, forget it, no kidding with you. But I do want to see Ye Lan, and I don't feel good to throw you down. ”

Lu Yihang breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll just say how Ye Lan can't understand etiquette, I can take a taxi back by myself." ”

"Hmm. Cao Yun said: "We'll talk about other things in the evening." ”

Lu Yihang nodded and went down the steps to take a taxi. Cao Yun got into the car, sat for a while, and finally started the engine and headed home. As soon as he drove, Ye Lan called again.

"Where's it? ”

"I met Senior Situ and chatted for a while, I was driving. ”

"Lu Yihang can drink in a red bar?"

"The lawyer has everything, he can't come. ”

"Can't you say it sooner? I just had someone send him red wine to congratulate him on his acquittal. If you don't drink, what will you do with this wine? A bottle is worth thousands of dollars. ”

Cao Yun: "My fault, my fault. ”

"Okay, drive slower. ”

Cao Yun hung up the phone, feeling so annoyed.

……

I have to go home when I am annoyed, Cao Yun went home and saw that it was indeed a table of dishes, full of color, flavor and flavor, and all the sea, land and air were all reported. Cao Yun couldn't help but stretch out his hand to taste it, Ye Lan stretched out his head and saw Cao Yun in the kitchen: "Wash your hands first, how can you be the same as a child?"

"Oh, oh. Cao Yun took off his suit and threw it on the sofa.

Ye Lan: "I've said it many times, the suit should be hung up." There is also a change of slippers at the door...... You'd better wash your feet first. ”

So Cao Yun went to wash his feet, washed his hands, hung up his suit and looked at the kitchen, the whole battlefield. Ye Lan's cooking level is average, and he recently learned home cooking through the Internet. Today's five dishes and two soups did take a lot of thought. Taste ok.

"How is it?" Ye Lan asked when he saw Cao Yun trying the dishes.

Cao Yun exclaimed: "This is also so delicious, are you sure it's not a takeaway?"

Ye Lan: "It's too fake...... I can eat it. ”

Cao Yun: "It's delicious, really, I think it's open." ”

Ye Lan took out the dishes and chopsticks, the two sat down, Ye Lan said: "I bought you a few clothes, as well as shoes, you can try it first after eating, and then return if it doesn't work." ”

Cao Yun said: "A suit, a white shirt and leather shoes are fine." ”

Ye Lan: "That was before no one cared about you. By the way, I watched Sister Lu Ping's circle of friends last night, and Sister Lu Ping has it. ”

"I'll see. Cao Yun looked at Ye Lan's mobile phone, it was a photo of Lu Ping working in the Biopharmaceutical Technology Department of Nebula Group, and Beiwu commented below: Why didn't you wear protective clothing? Did you explain to the company that you are pregnant? Cao Yun: "This is a screenshot." ”

Ye Lan nodded: "I took a screenshot after seeing it, I wanted to send it to you, but I didn't expect Sister Lu Ping to delete all this information." It seems that she doesn't want others to know that she is pregnant. ”

Cao Yun didn't understand: "Then why did you tell me?"

Ye Lan: "That's a good thing. ”

Cao Yun: "But my sister didn't plan to make it public." ”

Ye Lan: "What kind of brain are you, you just don't know?"

Cao Yun: "Okay, don't gossip so much, okay? My sister pays attention to personal **, and besides, you haven't been so familiar with her, right?"

Ye Lan was dissatisfied: "I'll take a look at the circle of friends and tell you the news." You always have to chat when you eat, and you have to talk about it, right? Hmph, presumptuous villain, villain, your phone rings. ”

Cao Yun answered the phone: "Hey, Sister Linghu." ”

Ling Hulan smiled: "Just your greeting, I won't get tired of calling this call a hundred times a day...... Eating?"

"Hmm. Cao Yun looked at Ye Lan and stopped listening, and turned on the hands-free very gentlemanly and put the phone on the table.

Ling Hulan: "Let's go to sea together tomorrow." ”

Cao Yun: "Okay. ”

Ling Hulan: "Please come with Ye Lan." ”

Cao Yun: "She's not available, what time is it?"

Ling Hulan: "At nine o'clock, the old place will get on the boat." ”

Cao Yun: "Roger." ”

Cao Yun hung up the phone, Ye Lan: "When did you become so familiar with Linghu Tian'er?"

Cao Yun replied, "Ling Hulan." ”

Ye Lan's face was full of suspicion: "Ling Hulan, this woman is very horsey, she asked you to go to sea?

Cao Yundao: "You used to be a person from the rivers and lakes, you should be able to guess a few points: Ling Hulan is in a bad mood, Ling Hulan is ......"

"If you're in a bad mood, I'll ask you to go to sea, do you often go to sea together?" Ye Lan regretted after asking, explaining: "This woman doesn't have a good reputation. ”

Ye Lan explained the reason why he questioned, but as soon as he said this, it turned into a personal attack.

Cao Yun knew that Ling Hulan had a bad reputation, and Ye Lan was more important than Ling Hulan, so he said, "It's okay, it's okay." He didn't want to explain: there must be something wrong with Ling Hulan's invitation.

Continue to eat, the content of the chat is not nutritious. Cao Yun didn't want to talk about work, work was already very brain-burning, and Ye Lan didn't have much interest in listening to Cao Yun's work. Ye Lan was very interested in talking about his new home, villas, household goods, etc., and Cao Yun was completely unconcerned about these topics.

Ye Lan was not very happy when chatting, because Cao Yun did not promise her not to go to the appointment tomorrow. The topic changed twice to tomorrow, and Cao Yun didn't care at all. So Ye Lan was very tactful and hoped that Cao Yun would go to see the villa with her tomorrow.

Cao Yun said unintentionally: "Didn't I make an appointment with Ling Hulan tomorrow?"

Ye Lan was incredulous: "You still want to go?" I said that this woman has a very bad reputation.

Cao Yun was a little strange: "I definitely want to go, it should be related to work." ”

"What kind of work can't be discussed in a lawyer's office?

Cao Yun replied: "Ling Hulan's personality is like this. ”

Ye Lan: "You must have something to do with work?"

Cao Yun: How can you be sure of this ......?

Ye Lan: "Why don't you ask clearly? If it's work, won't going to sea delay work?"

Cao Yun: "Will you go together tomorrow?"

Ye Lan finally got a satisfactory answer: "Okay...... Are you going back to the law firm today?"

Cao Yun: "Lu Yihang has just been released, and there is still something to talk about." In addition, Situ Yan introduced the intern, after all, I took it, and I had to arrange it properly. ”

Ye Lan was dissatisfied: "Why are you so busy?"

Cao Yun explained: "There are still a lot of things. ”

Ye Lan was silent, and asked after a long time: "I don't have me in the lawyer's office, it's quieter, right?" You can soak in the hot springs and watch the moon quietly alone...... Is there something wrong with our relationship? I always feel like I'm hot. ”

Cao Yun thought for a while: "I think it's hot, but I'm not interested in your hot aspects." Let's just say why cook today? We can go out to eat, go shopping, buy clothes, watch movies, and drink coffee after eating. Come back together after dinner out, take a shower together, and sleep together. The villa is now waiting for the final offer of the three families, but ...... What's wrong with the first one? It's a little bit upstairs, but there's a small pool upstairs. ”

Ye Lan: "Upstairs is either a study room or a children's room. You, as the hostess, must have a study, and the children's room can only be placed downstairs. ”

Cao Yun: "The children's room is a long time later, and the child will definitely live on the first floor in the future, please take the nanny." ”

Ye Lan: "But I want to bring it myself, and it's more reassuring to bring it myself...... What kind of eyes do you have? The child's surname is Cao, it's your Cao family, what's the matter? I don't understand, why can't the pool be put in the backyard?"

Cao Yun: "My idea is to make the backyard a grass area to increase the space for family members. The pool is not convenient and safe there. The second floor is our private space. ”

Ye Lan: "Then just buy the third set." ”

Cao Yun: "The two of us don't need to be too big, the space is large, and there are more people to invite." A lot of outsiders interfere in our lives. Fine but not large, there is enough space, and at the same time there is enough **. I think there are at most two nannies at home who take turns to work, take care of the children, and clean ......"

Ye Lan vaguely read a little meaning: "You seem to be dissatisfied with what I did and the decisions I made?"

"Nope. ”

"You used to make excuses to live in my house. Now that you're not married, you're making excuses not to go home?"

Cao Yun no longer denied it: "Haven't you always wanted to open a small brokerage company? Do you want to play the live-action version of the celebrity volunteer? As long as you don't toss this trivial matter at home, you can do it." ”

"You hate me. ”

Cao Yun explained: "You are very good to me, I am very touched. But some good ones don't want to...... You've been feeling no different from my mom lately. Cao Yun finally told the truth.

This is the worst thing, Cao Yun doesn't think that his parents' marriage is successful, Cao Yun sees his mother's shadow in Ye Lan. Doing housework, taking care of children, blaming her husband, whining, complaining, gossiping, diligent in figuring out, and believing that she has sacrificed greatly.

Cao Lie can't stand it, Cao Yun can't stand it either, what he can't stand is this kind of pressure, a pressure that has nothing to do with love. The most Cao Mu said to Cao Yun after Cao Lie left was: You must fight for me, the only thing I can count on is you.

Or just pure local traditional women in the Eastern Tang Dynasty. For example, Ouyang Yi's wife serves her husband, children and family wholeheartedly, does not complain, does not complain, does not take credit, and thanks her husband for his hard work for the family. Make housewives a profession and do your job well.

Either a professional girl, with a job, a career, a thought, like the exquisite life of husband and wife, the pursuit of quality of life, pay attention to self-worth.

Both women Cao Yun can accept them, but they can't accept the centrists. has no choice, and needs his wife to sacrifice to be a housewife, Cao Yun admits it. But with Cao Yun's income and concept, Ye Lan has a lot of choice, but Ye Lan wants to be an ordinary housewife.

Ye Lan is not wrong, most people like girls like Ye Lan. But he can't stand Cao Yun is a scumbag, he always takes his parents' failed marriage as a lesson, and Cao Cao is not filial and doesn't like his wife who plays the same role as his mother.

To put it bluntly, the shadow of the family during his childhood and growth made Cao Yun very dissatisfied with his parents in his heart.
