The dispute over the Gao family's family property unexpectedly involved Xiao Mubai and Lin Manshu. Yao still wanted Lin Manshu to be her lawyer, so she started with Xiao Mubai, who Lin Manshu knew and trusted the most, and asked him to help persuade Lin Manshu.

After Xiao Mubai knew Yao Yi's tragic past, she was both distressed and self-blaming, regretting that she had given up Yao Yiyi, if he continued to insist on pursuing Yao Yiyi, she could at least ask him for help when she was helpless during that time.

With this kind of self-blame, Xiao Mubai decided to help Yao Yi, persuaded Lin Manshu to be Yao Yi's lawyer, and helped her regain the property that belonged to her.

Xiao Mubai, who received a call from Yao Yi, went to find Lin Manshu that night. On the riverside outside Lin Manshu's villa, Yao Yan's request was spoken.

On rainy nights, the riverside is cool, the air is fresh, and the moonlight shines on the river, revealing a sense of tranquility. It was originally a good weather for dating, but Lin Manshu wanted to leave quickly at the moment.

"My agency fee is high, are you sure?"

Xiao Mubai still pleaded for Yao, which made Lin Manshu very unhappy. The attitude gradually cooled down, but Xiao Mubai didn't hear it.

"You don't have to worry about the agency fee, as long as you agree on the amount, she will definitely not be in arrears. Besides, compared to the Gao family's so many properties, your agency fee is still less. ”

Xiao Mubai didn't see the change in Lin Manshu's feelings, thinking that she was talking about agency fees on official business.

Lin Manshu is indeed a sane person, and her work and personal feelings are clearly separated, but this time, she seems to be planning to be emotional. Xiao Mubai cared about Yao's performance, which made her very unhappy.

"I've told you before, so you can think carefully about our relationship. If you choose me, you will completely forget about Yao Yiyi, and if you choose Yao Yiyi, you will never come to see me again. ”

"Why did you suddenly mention this matter?" Xiao Mubai asked suspiciously, and it was only from now that he gradually realized the changes in Lin Manshu.

Lin Manshu didn't answer, and continued to talk to herself: "It seems that you have made a choice. ”

Xiao Mubai was even more confused now, he didn't know where Lin Manshu's conclusion came from, and he didn't know what conclusion Lin Manshu had reached.

"Wait a minute, what do you mean I made a choice, what do you think I made?" Xiao Mubai asked.

"Decided to stand by Yao Yan's side, didn't you?" Lin Manshu asked rhetorically, Xiao Mubai's behavior gave her an intuitive feeling.

Xiao Mubai reached out and grabbed Lin Manshu's arm and explained, "No, you misunderstood. I just, I think she's so pathetic......"

"What about me, I've always been acting as a stand-in for others in your heart, isn't it pitiful?" Lin Manshu looked at Xiao Mubai and asked.

No matter when and where, Lin Manshu is confident, arrogant, and cold, like an empress standing at the highest point in the world, looking down on everything. Her self-esteem cannot be violated by anyone, but the man in front of her, the man who shook her heart, uses her as a stand-in for others.

According to Lin Manshu's temperament, he should be kicked out without hesitation. But she compromised and was willing to give Xiao Mubai a chance, so she let him choose. Between Yao and her, Xiao Mubai can only choose one.

But what did he do? For Yao's sake, the third watch came in the middle of the night and begged her to be the woman's lawyer. When she saw Xiao Mubai, Lin Manshu thought that he had made a special trip to see her.

But as soon as Xiao Mubai met, he said: "Can you be a lawyer and help her get the family property she deserves." ”

Lin Manshu, who heard this, slowly turned cold in her heart. Her heart was once covered in frost, thanks to Xiao Mubai walking into her life and melting those frosts little by little. But now, he returned the cold to Lin Manshu with his own hands.

In your heart, is that woman so important? This is what Lin Manshu wanted to ask Xiao Mubai, but it didn't make sense to ask, his behavior had already answered everything.

Xiao Mubai realized the seriousness of the matter at this time, and his hand slipped down from Lin Manshu's arm little by little, so weak. He does still care about Yao Yi, but is that love? He is indeed happy because he is with Lin Manshu, but is that love? For a while, he couldn't even be sure of his heart.

Because he couldn't figure out his heart, Xiao Mubai couldn't say anything. His silence made Lin Manshu's heart ache even more. She never kept it, but turned around in style, so she said:

"I'll take this case, but let's leave it at that. Don't pretend to be a stranger, but a real stranger. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Mubai asked.

He still had a trace of fantasy in his heart, but Lin Manshu's next words completely cut off the relationship between the two.

"So, in other words, it's expensive to hire me as a lawyer, so let's use our future as the cost of me taking on this case. ”

After saying this, Lin Manshu turned around and left. Her firm back under the dim streetlights does not have a trace of room for manoeuvre. Xiao Mubai looked at her back and didn't move for a long time.

The backs are getting farther and farther away, not only the real distance between them, but also the distance between two hearts.

Xiao Mubai stood by the river for a long time, even if he couldn't see Lin Manshu's figure anymore, he was still standing in place. The light stretched his figure, but it couldn't illuminate his sadness.

This riverside is where Lin Manshu has a good impression of Xiao Mubai, and it is also where they end their good feelings.

The rain that had been falling during the day began to fall again, and the rain slid down the window, leaving a trail of water, and looking out through the window, the world was in the rain.

The feelings of being drenched on a rainy day, wet, with misty moisture, faintly melancholy. That "bang" sound, is it the heart beating, or the voice of I love you.

Lin Manshu was lying on the bed, listening to the sound of rain outside, she couldn't sleep tonight, she didn't sleep much. Also sleepless is Xiao Mubai, who opens his eyes in the middle of the night. The lights outside the window were also soaked with rain, giving people a sense of vertigo.

"It's raining at this time, are you crying for me?" Xiao Mubai muttered, and then let out a long sigh.

Tonight ended with Xiao Mubai's sigh. What will happen tomorrow night?

It's easy to give up, but it's not always possible. Lin Manshu is no exception, although she has already said that she wants to be a stranger with Xiao Mubai, she can't control her heart.

The sequelae of giving up continues, and I think of Xiao Mubai at every turn, and my heart aches when I think of it. It's okay to be busy during the day, but she has been very idle recently, and she has nothing to be busy with, and she thinks of Xiao Mubai more often.

At night, it is the most terrible, people are lying in bed, but their thoughts do not know what year and month they are flying, and what happened before flashes back and forth in their brains like a movie, even if they are sleepy, they can't sleep.

When I can't sleep, I turn back and forth, thinking that I can fall asleep if I find a certain comfortable position, but after turning over the bed several times, I find that there is no comfortable position at all when I am upset.

Turn on the phone again and again, there are no text messages, no messages, no calls, only time keeps changing. From zero o'clock to two o'clock in the morning, and then to three o'clock in the morning...... It was still dark and there was no light, and at this time I realized that the night was so long.

Xiao Mubai's situation is not much better, he edits the text messages again and again, but deletes them after they are written, and contacts the tone of his speech over and over again, just to have a good chat with Lin Manshu on the phone, but the moment he opens the address book, he gives up in frustration.

I was very tired from investigating cases during the day, thinking that I would have to sleep well at night, but as soon as I lay down in bed, I would hear Lin Manshu's words: "Just use our future as my expense for taking this case." ”

If I don't think of this sentence once, I will feel uncomfortable once, and finally I can only sigh and say, "Ah, I'm really crazy." ”

But he can't blame anyone for this, as if no one is wrong. Even if they are friends, they can ask each other for help, not to mention that he and Yao have known each other for many years, so there is nothing wrong with her asking for help from him.

Even if they are just friends, they can help each other, not to mention that Yao is still a woman that Xiao Mubai has liked for ten years, so it is not wrong for him to choose to help her.

So is Lin Manshu wrong? No, she is not wrong, any woman will be jealous and angry when this matter is put on her. Lin Manshu is just an ordinary woman who wants to get perfect love. So she's not wrong either.

Since all three of them are right, why did they come to this point? Is it fate wrong, when it put three people on the horoscope, it completely did not take into account the feelings of the person concerned. It's just, somehow, put them together.

It doesn't matter whether these three people will interpret a sad story or a happy story, what matters is what kind of story they want to interpret.

Xiao Hanyu woke up in the middle of sleeping, got up to get water to drink, and when he passed by Lin Manshu's room, he found that the light was still on inside. There was a knock on the door, revealing half of his head.

"Haven't you slept yet?" asked Hanyu.

Lin Manshu sat on the bed, next to the white doll bear, and replied in a low voice, "Not yet." ”

Xiao Hanyu already knew what happened between Lin Manshu and Xiao Mubai, and felt sorry for the two. He knew Lin Manshu very well, and proposed, "Do you want to go down and have a drink?"

"Don't drink it. Lin Manshu decisively refused.

"Why?"

Lin Manshu has a habit of drinking, and now she suddenly said that she would not drink, which surprised Xiao Hanyu.

"If you drink too much, you'll get drunk. Lin Manshu said.

"If you're drunk, you're drunk, and you don't have to go to work. ”

Xiao Hanyu continued to persuade Lin Manshu to drink, and after drinking, people's brains will relax, and it will be easier to say their true thoughts. Lin Manshu, a person who usually doesn't show his heart, also asks what to say after getting drunk. Xiao Hanyu wanted to know that Lin Man was the truest psychological state now, so he kept persuading Lin Man to drink. Another point is that she can at least sleep for a while after drinking, so that if she doesn't sleep for a few days and nights, something big will happen.

"I hate people who talk gibberish after drinking. ”

Lin Manshu hates people who talk nonsense when they are drunk, but she is still that kind of person.
