Chapter 68: He didn't come to the trial
When I think about it, I feel like I'm a bad guy through and through, and no one knows about the bad water in my belly, and I think I'm some poor sick cat, heh!
But whatever, I didn't plan to be a good person anyway, I sneered secretly, and accidentally came into contact with Jin Yebai's gaze before I retracted and returned to normal.
It was Jin Yebai who accompanied me all night last night, and Song Qingya came to Xingshi early in the morning to ask for guilt, and he definitely doesn't have to be here tonight, otherwise I will definitely not be able to sleep.
He stayed for a long time and Song Qingya didn't come, but he just called halfway, I asked him to go back, and he said to accompany me for a while before leaving.
About half an hour later, he really left, I don't know if it was an illusion, the moment he closed the door I seemed to see the reluctance in his eyes, which made my heart tremble inexplicably.
I was quickly discharged from the hospital and returned to the apartment rented by Lises.
They left in such a hurry that night that they didn't even deal with the scene, and when I saw the bloodstains, I couldn't help but think, if people who didn't know saw it, would they think that this was the scene of the murder?
I put down what I was doing and started to clean up the house, the blood stains on the floor had already dried, I brushed it for a long time to be considered clean, and then I threw away the sheets and went out to buy new ones.
Li Sisi knew that I was discharged from the hospital, so she called and asked if she would like her to move over to take care of me temporarily.
I don't think it's a big deal, it's just that they are too nervous and concerned, so they didn't agree, and they will be alone in the future, I can't rely on them for everything, I have to learn to live independently.
Jin Yebai didn't come when I was discharged from the hospital, and I didn't receive any calls from him when I got home, not even a WeChat message, is it that I finally know how to avoid suspicion?
At night, I was playing with my phone on the sofa when there was a sudden knock on the door outside, which couldn't be Lissi, because she had the key herself, and she could just open the door and come in.
Could it be that Jin Yebai is here?
I got up suspiciously, opened the door and saw that my eyes widened in surprise, it was Song Qingya standing outside, and she was alone.
She shouldn't have come to me to ask her about her guilt, did she?
I admit that I am tempted by Jin Yebai, but I definitely only have a color heart and no color guts, even if all the men in the world die, I can't dig into the corners of other people's walls.
"Hello. "I said hello with a bang, and I felt a little knotted in my brain.
"Hmm. Song Qingya answered, flashed into the living room, and she carried a lot of things in her hands, as if they were some nutritional products or something.
She put all her things on the coffee table and sat down on the sofa casually, but I became restrained like a guest, and even went to pour her a glass of water overflowing because of my absent-mindedness.
"You please drink water. I put the water in front of her helplessly, "May I ask what you are doing with me?"
Song Qingya glanced at the water glass, then stared at me and asked, "Is there anything wrong with your body?"
"It's okay, thank you for taking care of me these days. "I also sat down on the sofa, but deliberately kept the farthest distance from her, and I always felt weak and guilty about this woman.
"When you were discharged from the hospital today, he wanted to pick you up in person, but something happened to my house and he rushed to help deal with it, and he was still at my house at this time, but he couldn't rest assured that he would let me come and see if you still needed anything. "Song Qingya's words explained all the doubts in my heart clearly.
"Thank you very much, everything is fine on my side, please rest assured, I also trouble you to run. "I replied strangely and distantly.
"I know that you used to be best friends, and I believe that he really loves me, but for you, I am not so relieved, especially now, you are about to divorce and return to single, and he is so good, I mean, do you understand?"
She is relieved of Jin Yebai but not about me, to put it bluntly, she is afraid that I will take the initiative to seduce Jin Yebai, I am not a fool, she said it so explicitly, can I still understand?
"Don't worry, I won't pester him, we're just good friends, although I'm getting divorced, but at least I'm self-aware, I know that I am not from the same world as him. "My tone was flatter than hers.
Song Qingya exhaled, relieved, "That's good, we're going to get married, I don't want anything bad to happen at this juncture." ”
I nodded and didn't say anything more, she bit the word marriage so clearly, and deliberately accentuated her tone, how could I not understand the intention?
"Okay, it's nothing, you have a good rest, he should stay at my house tonight, and I have to go back, lest he get used to it. After Song Qingya gave me a warning, she got up and walked towards the gate.
I didn't make any false polite reservations, followed her to the door, and even reached out to help her open the door, and watched her go downstairs.
Closing the door, I went back to the sofa, looking at the things piled up on the coffee table and laughing, Song Qingya came to see me buy so many things so kindly, but the purpose was just to remind me to be self-aware.
The following days were very dull, Jin Yebai would occasionally send me WeChat to ask me about the current situation, and Li Sisi basically contacted me on WeChat every day, most of the time she was saying that I was listening.
She told me what Jiang Lingna had done that people were angry about, and told me what Lu Zhenting had given her again, where she had taken her to play, and even told me about what she had eaten.
I know that she is trying to make my life less boring, but in fact, although my life seems very dull, it is not boring, and I have been secretly investigating Meng Shuwei and Liu Weiqiang in my spare time.
Jin Yebai was also investigating, so many times the topics we talked about were about the two of them, but most of what I found was only superficial, and the information he gave me was very substantial.
So I thought, if there is no Jin Yebai, what qualifications do I have to say the word revenge alone? It's really a grasshopper shaking the tree, it's ridiculous, and Liu Weiqiang alone is enough to kill me.
During this time, Li Muchi also contacted me frequently, running around the lake with me every morning, then going to breakfast together, and finally he drove to work, and I went upstairs to buy groceries.
The day before the trial, Lu Pengfei called me to go to his office and explained a lot of things to me, and I made it clear what I should say and what I shouldn't say.
I nodded and made a note of it, and in order not to make a mistake, I went home and made a point of reminiscing, and my mood became more and more nervous as time passed.
Li Muchi told me a long time ago that he would also go to see it when the trial was held, so I told him after the trial date was set.
Li Sisi doesn't need to ask me, there will naturally be news from Lu Zhenting's side.
On the day of the trial, I saw Zhou Mingchuan, whom I had never seen for a long time, and he was much more haggard than when he was with me before, probably tortured by Meng Shuwei.
He was followed by his big family, as well as my parents, only Meng Shuwei did not appear, and she didn't know that she had no face to appear in court, or that it was inconvenient to have a big belly.
In fact, after I guessed that Meng Shuwei's child was not Zhou Mingchuan's, I wanted to hold a court in advance, because I was no longer afraid that she would not marry him and not give birth to a child, but I was really embarrassed to trouble Lu Pengfei.
For this case, I don't know how many times I have changed my mind, if it weren't for Jin Yebai's face, I believe he would have quit a long time ago, right?
Compared with Zhou Mingchuan's side, my side is weak, only Li Sisi, Lu Zhenting, and Li Muchi, even Jin Yebai did not come to hear the trial.
He didn't even call me, he only sent me a WeChat message last night to tell me not to worry, Lu Pengfei will definitely win this lawsuit, and I have to believe in his ability.
Before the trial, Zhou Mingchuan's eyes kept looking at me, and Li Muchi was sitting next to me, I don't know if he recognized this person, but Li Muchi recognized him at a glance.
When I saw Zhou Mingchuan, Li Muchi sighed to me on the spot, "The squad leader is not as good as I imagined, hey...... It's a shame, I thought he was on the rise by now. ”
I laughed dryly, half jokingly and half seriously, and said, "If he can really rise to the top, then I will kick him off the clouds and turn him into an angel who lands on the ground first!"
Li Sisi burst out laughing when he heard this, "Lulu, you are really humorous, it seems that you have really come out of his shadow, congratulations, since then you have started a new life, and life has set sail again." ”
Only true love knows the pain of betrayal, only one person who has lived can understand the loneliness of being alone, even if I pretend to be strong, I can't let Zhou Mingchuan's group see the jokes, let alone worry the people who care about me!
Li Muchi glanced around, and suddenly asked me in a low voice, "Why didn't Mr. Jin come to the hearing, isn't he your best friend?
Li Sisi also tugged at my hand when he heard the voice, "Yes, he didn't say that I haven't found out yet, where is your Xiaobai, even Mr. Li specially asked for leave, but his peerless male girlfriend has no shadow." ”
"He's in trouble. "I pretend to be indifferent," besides, he is not a lawyer, so it doesn't matter if he comes or not, if Lawyer Lu doesn't come, then it's the real thing. ”
Lu Zhenting also nodded in agreement, "That's it, what you want to watch at this time is Pengfei, as for Yebai, love doesn't come or not, anyway, he has nothing to do." ”
Li Sisi immediately shook his head, "Why is it okay, now is a crucial moment for Lulu, as a good friend, he should be present to witness, look at me, Jiang Lingna's slut didn't give me leave, I just skipped work and came, she bit me?" she giggled.
Lu Zhenting rubbed her head and sighed helplessly but dotingly.
Li Muchi just smiled gently.
I couldn't laugh or cry.
Seeing that Lu Zhenting was not interested in her topic, Li Sisi turned his head to me and said, "Let me tell you, you don't know how ugly Jiang Lingna's face was at that time, and it is funny and addictive to think about it." ”
I was about to answer the call to satisfy her desire to chat, and the phone suddenly prompted a new WeChat, I took it out and saw that it was sent by Jin Yebai.
He apologized to me and said that he couldn't support me in person, and asked me not to be embarrassed, and when he was done with this time, he would definitely make up for this regret.
I replied that it didn't matter and put the phone back in the bag, it has been like this all this time, the most is WeChat exchanges, the phone calls are rarely made, as for the meeting, after leaving the hospital, I only met twice.
This lawsuit is really not a big deal for me, and it is a piece of cake for Lu Pengfei, he talks endlessly, breaking the opponent's defense lawyer's arguments one by one, and I can't help but want to applaud him.
Li Sisi looked at Lu Pengfei's tongue and looked like a group of Confucians, grabbed me and whispered: "Meng Lu, I regret it, I shouldn't have studied international economics and trade back then, I should have studied law, you see how much he is windy!"
I joked with her, "Actually, you can also go to the certification now." ”
Li Sisi's eyes lit up, "Yes, if I really became a lawyer, I would definitely be a beautiful lawyer, but it's a pity that this lawsuit still won't be my turn to fight, otherwise I would have to beat Zhou Mingchuan crying dad and calling his mother." ”
Seeing her talking about these messy things in the solemn and quiet courtroom, Lu Zhenting hurriedly reminded in a low voice, "Sisi, let's talk about anything until the court is adjourned, don't affect the above." ”
Li Sisi playfully stuck out his tongue at him, then immediately let go of me, sat down in his chair, and continued to listen with great interest to the strong duel between the two lawyers above.
I looked at Zhou Mingchuan calmly, his forehead was already sweating nervously, could this ending still be beyond his expectations?
He wouldn't think that the lawyer he was looking for would be able to challenge the law by reversing right and wrong, right?
The court session was not long, and I was very relaxed except for a little nervousness when I first entered, and I don't know whether to believe Jin Yebai or the lawyer he found for me.
The judge announced the verdict soon after, and everything was as Lu Pengfei said, except for Zhou Mingchuan, who was his own person, and everything else belonged to me.
Of course, this is a bit of an exaggeration, in fact, his mobile phone clothes and the like are still his, but now this result is really not too good for me!
After the verdict was announced, everyone came out, and Li Sisi put away his serious face, returned to his original appearance, and pulled me and shouted, "Lulu, you won, you really won." ”
I immediately corrected her, "No, we should have won." ”
Li Sisi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded like pounding garlic, "That's right, that's right, we won, let those shameless scumbags, scumbags, dogs, men and women hell with it, the law is the fairest!"
When she said this, Zhou Mingchuan happened to walk towards me, presumably she deliberately said it to him, Zhou Mingchuan's face was not good, and now the black line broke out.
Zhou Mingchuan walked over with a gloomy face, not only did he not have any remorse at all, but his expression was hideous and his eyes were resentful, and his tone was even more vicious, "Shu Menglu, you are ruthless!"
I smiled back at him in a victorious pose, "Mutual to each other!"
His gaze was like two sharp swords, and it made me feel sick when it hit me, but I still kept smiling, and I wanted him to know that I could live well without him, and that it would get better and better!
Li Muchi, who was standing beside him, saw that Zhou Mingchuan was not good, so he greeted him with a gentle smile, "Squad leader, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet in this kind of place, and the world is really impermanent." ”
Zhou Mingchuan noticed Li Muchi at this time, he recognized it just by looking at it, and said lukewarmly: "I thought it was who, it turned out to be just a defeated general of one of my subordinates!"
Li Muchi didn't care at all, but smiled even more happily, "Failure is the mother of success, what does it matter if you fail once in a while? As long as I don't fail like someone, I can at least be like a person now, but someone is only left to look like a dog!"
The word "someone" is definitely more ironic than the word "you" alone, I looked at Li Muchi in surprise, he was-for-tat with Zhou Mingchuan at this time, but it gave me a bad breath, even if his starting point was not for me.
The green tendons on Zhou Mingchuan's forehead jumped, and he turned back to his support group and said, "You go back first, I still have some business." ”
My dad stepped out and raised his hand to greet me in the face, I didn't expect him to suddenly give me such a move, I was stunned and didn't react.
Just when I thought I would be slapped in front of everyone, someone suddenly pulled me from behind me, and I was able to avoid this slap.
I looked back in shock, then froze again.
Jin Yebai is here!
Not sooner or later, just when I was at a loss, he appeared behind me and pulled me away in time.
Song Qingya also came, standing behind him.
I thought she should look at me with hatred, but it turned out that there was no hatred or jealousy in her eyes, was she too generous or too kind?
My dad slapped him in the air, and when I was stunned, he raised his hand again and walked over, Li Muchi grabbed him and asked, "Who are you, why are you beating people?"
"I'm his son, she won't even let go of her own sister, if I don't kill her today, I won't be surnamed Shu, and you won't let me go!" My dad roared deafeningly.
Li Muchi looked at me embarrassedly, hurriedly let go of my father, and then came over to protect me behind me, but I stepped forward and stood side by side with him, not wanting to be a poor worm hiding behind others.
I met my father's eyes that were eager to cut me with a thousand knives, and said word by word: "Since I escaped from the locked house where you locked us, we have no relationship with each other, and now you only have one daughter, Meng Shuwei, and I jumped out of the crack in the stone!"
My mother also walked over and counted me down with a displeased face, "Meng Lu, how can you say such a thing, no matter what, we are your biological parents." Xiaowei is your sister, and now she is still pregnant with a child, and she is about to give birth, and now you have a lawsuit that has left them with nothing, so how can they live?"
