92. Manipulating people's hearts

Xin Pet hadn't experienced the taste of drag racing for a long time, and she was speeding all the way, boundless remorse and anger crashing and tearing in her chest, making her feel painful.

Before today, Ye Zhenyan's death, she was just wronged, today, after listening to Liu Xunfei's suspicions, her entire cognition was overturned, if she was really used by Zhou Lingling, she approached Ye Shichao step by step, and helped him find Ye Zhenyan step by step...... In fact, she is helping Zhou Lingling find Ye Zhenyan, then she is one of the culprits, what qualifications does she have to stay by Ye Shichao's side, what qualifications does she have to ask him for forgiveness, and what qualifications do she have to love him?

Her heart was torn into thousands of pieces, sprinkled in this cold winter wax moon, like snow in the sky, cold to the bone, falling to the ground and stepping into the mud. She's always been assertive, but she really doesn't know what to do right now.

I don't know how long I drove the car aimlessly, and when I came back to my senses, I had come to the law firm, the Spring Festival holiday, the whole building was quiet, and the seventeenth floor where the law firm was located was also dark.

She climbed the stairs to the seventeenth floor like a ghost, dragged her body soaked in cold sweat, opened the door and walked into her office, turned on the light, and slumped into the familiar chair.

This is the starting point of everything, she really wants to go back to the past, when she was still a lawyer, she didn't know Ye Shichao, and all she could think about was how to win the men who didn't think well of her. Ye Shichao can reduce the pain without her in his life?

How much she loved him, how much she hated herself now, regretted that she couldn't hold it anymore, and lay on the table and cried.

I don't know how long she cried, she slowly sat up straight, wiped away her tears, and turned on the computer.

Here are all her preliminary judgments on the "fire ant case", she wants to find out the clues and personally prove whether Zhou Lingling is really a problem.

Where did you hear the news of Zhou Lingling's arrest in the first place? At the beginning, because I was in a hurry, I didn't dig into it at all, but now that I think about it carefully, it should be in the group of classmates.

Her classmates are the group of the law department, and the classmates are naturally all law graduates, even if they are not lawyers, they are also engaged in related work, she is really the only one who is enthusiastic and dares to stand up for her teacher?

She contacted a few classmates who were usually good on weekdays with suspicion, and after a brief greeting, she asked: "In the original fire ant case, Teacher Zhou was wronged, did any other students go to see the teacher?" ”

"Why not? I went. "This is a male classmate, who is now working as a lawyer in the capital, and he mixes better than her," the teacher said, "I don't work in the city, I'm afraid it's inconvenient." I said that the city also knows a lot of influential lawyers, so the teacher asked you, asked Xin Pet what he has been busy with recently, and said that Xin Pet's career is doing very well, and Xin Pet is a leader among women in the same industry. I think the teacher probably thinks I'm not good enough and wants your help. I was a little unconvinced at first, but now that I think about it, your case is really beautiful. ”

asked a female classmate again, and the female classmate also said in a sour tone, "Alas, class leader, in the eyes of Teacher Zhou, who else is there besides you?"

She put down the phone, cold to the bone.

She remembered seeing Zhou Lingling in the detention center, Zhou Lingling was anxious and haggard and completely unassertive, where did such a person still have the leisure to wait for her best students? What's more, she studied in a prestigious school, no matter how conceited she was, she also knew that she was good, and her classmates were not bad, where did she have to be?

yes, why does she have to?

Why?

She leaned back in her chair and covered her face with her hands, sinking deeper into despair......

Maybe I was too tired, and I fell asleep in a daze, my cognition was turned off, and the picture that I had no memory in my subconscious slowly became clear......

Fragments of her college days came to her mind, too small to be remembered, so fragmented that even she could barely put them together.

In order to restrain her temperament and train patience, she followed Zhou Lingling to practice calligraphy, Zhou Lingling will give her a good copybook when she finds it, and occasionally go to the office to get a copybook......

Zhou Lingling walked over from behind, her voice as soft as a whisper: "The boys in the university are stinky, and if our girls want to like them, they must like gentlemen." ”

went to Zhou Lingling's house as a guest, ate too much, half lying on the sofa and fell asleep, someone stroked her hair and whispered softly, "Such a good man, you will fall in love with him." I love him more than I love myself!"

In a daze, that handsome face swayed in front of him, lingering.

Fall in love with him, fall in love with him, fall in love with him!

She chuckled and came to her senses.

Just now...... What did she think? Despair came flooding her, and it only overwhelmed her in an instant.

She jerked to her feet, something slipped off her, and she looked down to see that it was a white men's down jacket.

"Senior sister, are you awake?"

A familiar voice sounded from the corner of the office, and then Bai Tingnian's handsome face appeared in front of her, she was stunned for a moment, "Xiaobai, why are you here?"

"I have a case that will be held in court in the next year, and I want to do my homework in advance and find a case. Bai Tingnian walked over, bent down to pick up the down jacket and put it on her, "It's you, senior sister, why are you falling asleep here? The heating has also stopped during the holidays, and it is easy to catch a cold when you fall asleep like this." ”

Xin Pet has been dreaming, sweating, but he doesn't feel cold, Bai Tingnian covered her with a down jacket, and he wore a thin sweater, and he didn't know how long he had stayed in this cold office, and his face was a little blue.

She hurriedly took off the down jacket and returned it to him, her hand inadvertently touched his hand, and it was as cold as ice, "Leave me alone, I'm in good health, I'm not so easy to catch a cold, you can wear it quickly, it's a physique that is easy to catch a cold, and there is still work after the year, don't delay it due to illness." ”

Bai Tingnian's physique is indeed not very good, he often gets sick and asks for leave when he goes to school, and he puts on cotton clothes early in winter, and the professors say regretfully that if it weren't for the physical drag, with his grades, he should be able to jump several times in a row and graduate with Xin Pet.

Just because the professors talked a lot, Xin Pet became sympathetic, got acquainted with him, took care of him a lot on weekdays, and Bai Tingnian became more and more clingy to her and dependent on her, which is why it seemed that Xin Pet was bullying him on weekdays, but he was not angry at all, because he knew that Xin Pet was really good to him.

Bai Tingnian obediently put on the down jacket and asked again, "What are you doing here? Do you want to come back to work?" “

"I can't come back yet. Xin Pet shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You also know my current situation...... Even if the Criminal Psychology Department can't stay any longer, it can't come back immediately, which will affect the reputation of our law firm, and reputation is more important than anything else in this business. ”

"We're not afraid to compromise our reputation. Bai Tingnian frowned, "And where can you go if you don't come back?"

"There's always somewhere to go. If you can't do it, you can travel the world. Xin Pet laughed self-deprecatingly, "It's too far to say this now, I'm on bail pending trial now, I can't go anywhere, I have to be on call, and I'll talk about it when I'm really free." ”

"Senior sister, if you believe me, I will definitely help you regain your freedom. Bai Tingnian earnestly assured.

Xin Pet smiled and tiptoed and patted his head, "I know, we Xiaobai are the most powerful." ”

"Don't talk to me in this child-like tone. Bai Tingnian complained dissatisfiedly, "I was an adult when we first met, what did I make you feel like a child?"

Seeing that he was really angry, Xin Pet stuck out his tongue, "Just kidding." If you're not happy, I apologize. ”

"It's just a verbal apology, it's so insincere. Bai Tingnian's face was stilted.

"What kind of sincerity is that?" Xin Pet said.

"At least invite me to a meal, senior sister, you already owe me a lot of food, you should pay back one or two meals." Bai Tingnian took out his mobile phone and shook it, "You can call to determine the location now." ”

Xin Pet knew that he had indeed promised to invite him to dinner many times, but he had never invited him once, and this time he was blocked by him, and he knew that he was at a loss, so he had to nod and agree.

"Well, it's just that there aren't many places to choose from when you eat. ”

Bai Tingnian saw her and smiled happily, "If you can eat your school sister's meal, it's no problem to eat skewers at a roadside stall." ”

"I can't eat the skewers. Xin Pet sighed, his heart hurt too much, so he should give himself a holiday, "Where are there roadside stalls at this time? You can only find where to eat. ”

There are not many hotels that open on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and finally the two drove to Yongsheng Plaza, where the restaurants are still open, but they are overcrowded. After going around every floor, they finally found a vacant place, and the two didn't look up at what the store was, so they walked in, and when they ordered, they found that it was a Korean-style barbecue.

"No skewers and good barbecue. Bai Tingnian took off his down jacket, took over Xin Pet's coat again, put the clothes neatly on the back of the chair, and handed her the menu, "Senior sister, what do you want to eat?" said and poured water for her, got up and went to the self-service area again, and brought her a small plate of cut cantaloupe.

Xin Pet was embarrassed to be taken care of by him, and pushed the menu back to him, "I said today that I would invite you to dinner, so naturally you ordered." I'm not a picky eater, you can order whatever you want. ”

Bai Tingnian no longer pushed her, looked at the menu, and ordered, Xin Pet lowered his head and thought about his thoughts, he didn't pay attention to what he ordered, and when the dishes were ready, she realized that they were all what she liked to eat.

"Considerate and careful, who marries you is really blessed. Xin Pet sighed, watching him barbecue himself, pork belly and veal steak were bubbling on the baking sheet, teasing her appetite, she had been bitter in her heart for so many years, she thought she couldn't feel hungry, but she still swallowed her saliva when she smelled the aroma of meat.

"Then do you want to marry me?" Bai Tingnian sprinkled the roasted meat with seasonings, poured the sauce, and sandwiched it into her bowl, while doing these things, and when the meat was in front of her, he raised his head, looked at her through the fireworks, "I will make you happy for a lifetime." ”

His overly beautiful eyes, enchanted by the fireworks, actually made Xin Pet's heart tremble, and he hurriedly lowered his head to eat the meat, shaking his head while eating, "Sure enough, I have grown up, my wings are hard, and I dare to tease my senior sister." ”

Bai Tingnian laughed, "Your tone is really like my mother." ”

Xin Pet stuffed a mouthful of meat and raised his head, "It's not okay to marry you, I can be a mother, you are so well-behaved, I must love you." ”

"Senior sister, you are taking advantage of me. "Bai Tingnian is dissatisfied.

Xin Pet raised his eyebrows, "Who let you flirt with the elders?" ”

Bai Tingnian sighed, stopped, and decided not to quarrel with her, anyway, he didn't win once.

After eating, Xin Pet wanted to go back to his own house, not to go to Xin's house, before parting, Bai Tingnian looked at Xin Pet, who was getting thinner and thinner, and asked with a worried face: "Are you really okay alone?"

"I'm used to living alone, no problem, don't worry. Xin Pet knew why he was worried, in fact, her current situation did seem worrying to outsiders, and only she knew that she was much worse off than she looked.

"If you have something, you must call me, don't hold it alone. Bai Tingnian still instructed uneasily, "And I am your lawyer now, and I also need to know all your thoughts." ”

"Alright. Xin Pet got into the car and waved to him through the window, "Go back, you are so worried about it at a young age, be careful of hair loss." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Bai Tingnian to say anything, he stepped on the accelerator and left, and in the rearview mirror, the figure of the young man became farther and farther away, until it became a white shadow and could no longer be seen.

The disguise on Xin Pet's face was only then removed, and he stepped on the accelerator almost ferociously.
