Chapter 7: The Dust Settles
Pei Zile is my sophomore student, and Lin Dong's derailment time was four years ago.
There is no need to justify who cheated first, the facts have shown that it was Lin Dong who was at fault first. Lin Dong's lawyer had no new evidence, and he couldn't even come up with more favorable evidence about Pei Shaobei's relationship with me other than the elevator encounter.
The scale of the law was completely tilted to my side, but the moral comments did not let me go, and I won the lawsuit, but again, it became a complete joke in the eyes of others.
The moment the verdict came out, I saw my parents hugging each other and crying, my eyes were red, but my heart became more and more sour. Pei Shaobei was still standing not far away, looking at me calmly and gently, I smiled at him gratefully, he hooked his lips, lowered his head and told the people around him to clean up the aftermath.
When I appeared in court, I didn't see Zhang Jiajia's shadow. That's right, I thought that if I forced the main room to leave, I could get a property of five million for nothing after becoming a regular, but now not only did the money fail, but I also knew that I was just one of the many juniors, how could I not be cold and desperate.
"You vicious woman, I'll let you harm my son!" Liu Juan's sudden pounce caught me off guard, but fortunately, Pei Shaobei reacted quickly, and he pulled me aside, so that I would not be embarrassed in front of the public.
Liu Juan slammed on the ground, sat cross-legged, patted the ground with her hands, and cried.
"Oh my God, is there any heavenly reason! This vicious woman herself will not lay eggs and seduce men everywhere, coquettish and shameless, relying on knowing barristers to buy relationships, bullying us orphans and widows! You all come and see what this cheap woman looks like!"
I didn't expect Liu Juan to be so shameless, and scolded at the door of the court.
My face burned instantly, and the people around me pointed and talked about it.
"Bang!" two crisp slaps interrupted Liu Juan's crying.
Liu Juan covered her face and looked at my mother in a daze, choking and almost turning her back on her breath.
"My daughter has divorced your son, and I can't bear your kind of scum! If you dare to humiliate my daughter again, I will fight with you!"
My mother was a virtuous and gentle person, who had never blushed with anyone in her life, but now she protected me like an eagle, her eyes were fierce and trembling.
Maybe it was her mother's tone and the word "desperate" that scared Liu Juan, she couldn't cry or scold for a while.
At this time, Lin Dong squeezed in from outside the crowd, pulled Liu Juan up with a red face, and said hurriedly, "Mom, what are you making trouble here?"
Liu Juan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly raised her hand and slapped Lin Dong, "You little rabbit cub, if anything happens to my eldest grandson, I won't live!"
Lin Dong also seemed to understand, and immediately turned around and ran. Liu Juan followed and ran two steps, then turned back and pointed at me and said fiercely, "You wait for me!"
The excitement was gone, and the crowd dispersed.
Lin Dong's lawyer came over and looked at Pei Shaobei and then at me, and left with a sneer. My parents were very grateful to Pei Shaobei and insisted on inviting him to dinner, but Pei Shaobei said that there was another case that would be heard in the afternoon and needed to prepare materials.
My parents didn't dare to force me to stay, Pei Shaobei looked at me and stopped talking.
I hurriedly said, "I'll transfer the lawyer's fees to you as soon as possible!"
Pei Shaobei's expression was stagnant, and there was an indescribable feeling in his eyes when he looked at me, a little aggrieved and a little angry, I was a little inexplicable when I saw it, but I didn't care because I was troubled by Liu Juan.
I accompanied my parents home to dinner, and after calming them down, I went back to my house. When I entered, I looked at the house full of shitties and almost thought I had gone to the wrong room.
Pots and pans were thrown to the floor, clothes and shoes, cupboards and cupboards, not a single place was neat.
I thought it was Liu Juan who didn't want me to be better than what I did before leaving, so I had to roll up my sleeves and clean up by myself, just squatting down and not starting to move, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and as soon as I turned around, I saw Lin Dong and Liu Juan sweating profusely pushing the door and walking in.
"You?" Before I finished speaking, Lin Dong picked me up and pressed him to the sofa, I immediately struggled desperately with both hands and land, Liu Juan saw that I was scratching his son, and rushed over to help Lin Dong hold me.
"Lin Dong, you're crazy, you let go of me!" I struggled and shouted angrily!
"Hmph, Gu Wan, if I go crazy, I will be driven crazy by you!" Lin Dong suddenly tore open my shirt and kissed me with his mouth open. I felt a wave of nausea, but even more horror.
"Lin Dong, you can't do this to me, Lin Dong, you let go of me, let go of me!" I almost pleaded with tears.
"Smack!" Lin Dong slapped me hard, "Why, the barrister who can serve the other door won't serve his husband? Don't you just dislike me for not touching you? I'll let you get your wish now!"
Lin Dong said and went to untie my pants, this time I couldn't suppress it anymore, crying and begging, "You can't treat me like this, Lin Dong, we are divorced, you belong to rape, I want to sue you, I want you to go to jail!"
The restraint at my wrist was loosened, and I took the opportunity to struggle, and took advantage of Lin Dong's bending to raise my foot and kick it hard.
Lin Dong rolled to the ground with a muffled snort, hugging the loose belt and curling up like a shrimp.
I couldn't care about anything anymore, tightened my shirt and ran out at a fast pace. I heard Liu Juan's eager shouts behind me, as well as Lin Dong's low cursing, so distant, strange, and terrifying!
I instinctively called Pei Shaobei, and even forgot that he had a court session in the afternoon.
The mobile phone rang a few times before it was picked up, Pei Shaobei's deep voice soothed my emotions, and I cried so much in an instant that I couldn't even speak clearly.
I waited at the door of the community, and about thirty minutes later, a black car drove over, and it was not Pei Shaobei who got down, but the man I saw during the trial, who should be Pei Shaobei's assistant.
Call the police, chase people, ask the housekeeper to clean up the house, and toss until seven o'clock in the evening, and everything is done. I did not pursue Zhang Jiajia for stealing, nor did I pursue Lin Dong and Liu Juan for coercing me, at this moment, the only thing I hope is that these people will leave my life forever, forever, and life and death have nothing to do with me.
Lin Dong looked extremely haggard when he left, and seemed to feel a little guilty for not pursuing me. He came over and wanted to say something to me, but was blocked by Pei Shaobei's assistant, Lin Dong hesitated for a long time, and finally didn't say anything, turned around and pulled Liu Juan away.
I looked at his back, my nose ached, and I burst into tears.
From loving each other to hurting each other, what deviations have happened in between, and who is wrong?
I began to feel that love is the most unreliable thing in the world.
Pei Shaobei's assistant didn't stay after he finished it, and left quickly, and even his gratitude to me was alienated and frightened.
I sat alone in my empty home, surrounded by cold.
I showered, ate and threw myself into bed.
I thought I would not be able to sleep, but I didn't expect to fall asleep as soon as I touched the pillow, and I didn't even dream, until half past six the next day, the alarm clock set on weekdays woke me up on time, I rubbed my head and sat up, brushed my teeth and washed my face, and when I opened the closet to change clothes, I realized that I was divorced!
This message made me feel indescribably relaxed, and after the relaxation, there was a faint heaviness, and I made breakfast with mixed feelings and opened the door to work.
As he was locking the door, a greeting came from behind him.
"Morning!"
The sudden encounter made me a little embarrassed, and I was a little embarrassed to think of my crying for help yesterday.
"Morning, morning, Lawyer Pei!" I greeted with a red face, pretending to wait for the elevator as if nothing happened, but I didn't expect Pei Shaobei to come over too. I looked at his light gray tracksuit and asked, "You, wear this to work?"
"Did I say I went to work?" Pei Shaobei smiled lightly and tilted his head to look at me.
I became more and more embarrassed, fortunately the elevator came, I hurriedly stepped in first, Pei Shaobei immediately followed, still the elevator of two people, for some reason, I remembered the short video that was transmitted to the big screen by lawyer Lin Dong in the courtroom, my face burned instantly, and my feet subconsciously moved to the side.
Pei Shaobei looked at me sideways, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
I couldn't stand being looked at by him, and shouted angrily, "You, what do you look at, I'm a newly divorced person, what's so good-looking, don't you know how to write the word avoidance?"
Pei Shaobei was provoked by my angry words and raised his eyebrows, he glanced me up and down, and suddenly showed disgust, "Xiaole has always said how gentle and generous his teacher is, beautiful and kind, it is really better to see than to hear!"
"You, what do you mean!"
He really knew that I was Pei Zile's teacher for a long time?
At this time, the elevator stopped on the third floor, I thought that when I got to the first floor, in order to avoid Pei Shaobei's gaze, I rushed straight out, but was pulled back by Pei Shaobei, I was about to get angry, but the elevator went down again, and a few people who just came up looked at me and Pei Shaobei in surprise, and I was so embarrassed that I almost had to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Pei Shaobei's low muffled laughter came, I raised my foot and stepped on him hard, and I didn't dare to look at him as soon as the elevator stopped, and walked out quickly.
When I arrived at the gate of the community, I couldn't help but look back, in the morning light, Pei Shaobei walked idly on the gravel pavement of the community garden, his tall figure attracted the sideways eyes of passers-by, and occasionally a naughty boy brushed his side, he would also stop, laugh and tease for a while.
The corners of my mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, once upon a time, my most dreamed life was to walk with Lin Dong, hand in hand, with my beloved son by my side, warm and peaceful, and grow old together.
It's just that now, it's no longer possible!
I hurriedly stopped the sourness spreading in my heart and walked out of the community quickly.
