Chapter VII

Qiao Yun pulled Qiao Xiaoqiao Before he could turn around, he saw that Ye Chengyu had already taken a step and walked over.

Qiao Yun subconsciously protected the child, but saw that he didn't squint at her at all, and directly crossed the door of the car parked next to her and got into the car.

The door was slammed shut, and with a snort, the sedan drove away like a gust of wind.

Qiao Yun was stunned all the time, and his eyes were always staring at the direction he left, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Mom, let's not go buy it, okay? Let's go home. Qiao Xiaoqiao was very sensitive to the change in Qiao Yun's feelings, and the little girl tilted her head to look at her after a long while.

Qiao Yun glanced down at her, and only after a moment did he show a bitter smile and nodded at her.

She's really not in the mood right now.

At night, Qiao Xiaoqiao has been very silent, and she usually has to sleep after Qiao Yun finishes the story, but tonight she quietly circled herself in the quilt and looked at Qiao Yun with wide eyes and said nothing.

Qiao Yun was a little surprised, and after tucking the corners of the quilt for her, she couldn't help but ask her, "Baby, what story are we going to tell tonight?" ”

Qiao Xiaoqiao shook her head, a pair of big round eyes still staring at her without blinking.

Qiao Yun was a little curious about her reaction tonight, but she asked her what was wrong, but the little girl just didn't speak.

Qiao Yun was a little worried about her, and was originally going to coax her to sleep before writing materials, but now she put it down, lifted her small quilt and got into the quilt.

She hugged Qiao Xiaoqiao's soft little body in her arms, shared a pillow with her, and gently patted her back with her hand.

Qiao Xiaoqiao's face was very close to hers, and she blinked, and her long eyelashes brushed her face.

Qiao Yun patted her on the back and asked softly, "Why isn't the baby sleeping?" Sue sΓΉ mom, what's wrong with you today, okay? ”

The little girl was silent for a long time, and finally raised her head and asked timidly, "Mom, where is my father?" ”

Qiao Yun's body stiffened in an instant, her heart was sour, the little girl had asked this question before, how did she answer her?

Dad works far, far away? Daddy will be back soon, baby, don't worry?

If there is another answer, Qiao Yun doesn't want to think about it anymore......

She looked down at her lost daughter, and she had something in her heart that she wanted to say but couldn't say anything.

Qiao Xiaoqiao has always been very well-behaved and obedient, but she is very sensitive, and now she saw that Qiao Yun suddenly fell silent, and the obvious eyes slowly accumulated splashes, she was stunned for a moment, and then she cried whining.

She cried while holding Qiao Yun's small body arched in her arms, sobbing: "Mom, I was wrong... Woowoo...... I'll never ask my dad again, don't be sad, mom...... Woowoo woo ......"

The world of children is very simple, and their love is also the most susceptible to the influence of adults, Qiao Yun was originally a little sad, but now it is even more uncomfortable to be cried by Qiao Xiaoqiao like this, and with her crying, she can't help but want to cry, but no matter what, she still has to be strong in front of the child.

"Baby, don't cry, okay? Mom is not angry... Our little Joe is so well-behaved, how can my mother be angry? ”

Holding back her sadness, Qiao Yun patted Qiao Xiaoqiao's small body, pulled a tissue from the side, and helped her wipe her tears.

Qiao Xiaoqiao cried for a while and stopped crying, she hugged Qiao Yun tightly and buried her little head in her arms and sobbed.

"Mom." The child in her arms suddenly called her, and Qiao Yun said "um" and let go of her little body.

Qiao Xiaoqiao's eyes were red, and her white face was also dyed red because of the crying just now, and she looked a little pitiful, Qiao Yun's eyes were full of distress.

The little girl lowered her head, and after a while, she raised her again to look at her, and asked with some hesitation and some caution, "Is Uncle Dad?" ”

Qiao Yun was stunned for a moment, and the depression that had accumulated in his heart suddenly spread with Qiao Xiaoqiao's question.

The child was still looking at her with hopeful eyes, Qiao Yun didn't know how to answer her for a while, took a deep breath, suppressed the depression in his heart, and then said: "Uncle is not Dad, Xiao Qiao, you are good, Dad will come back, when Xiao Qiao grows up and can be as tall as his mother...... Dad came back. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Good. The little girl was silent for a while, and only after a moment did she say a word aggrievedly.

Qiao Yun took her back into his arms and patted her gently, and opened his mouth to sing a lullaby to her.

……

It was night, the lights in the box of the "Charming Night" bar were dim, the air was filled with the smell of tobacco and alcohol, the music was a little harsh, and Ye Chengyu sat alone and drank in annoyance.

His face was not good, and the friends around him who were called by him did not dare to step forward lightly, and finally a dancing girl mustered up the courage to walk over, but was instantly frightened back by his cold eyes.

The cold aura that emanated from all over his body was intimidating.

Ye Chengyu's face was condensed, but he couldn't suppress the annoyance in his heart, he even felt a little sarcastic that his behavior was ridiculous, he was the one who forced her to kill the child at the beginning, and now when he saw her appear in front of him with a child, he felt that he was angry......

……

Ye Chengyu frequently appeared around Qiao Yun at first, Qiao Yun was a little uncomfortable at first, but he had stopped a lot in the past few days, and he had not appeared in front of her since that evening.

Qiao Yun has been very busy these days, and several traffic accident cases in her hands have to be held in court, all of which are in the cities around City C, and she takes Qiao Xiaoqiao alone, so she has hardly stayed overnight, so the time is very tight, and she usually rushes back to City C immediately after the trial.

In just a few days, she has obviously lost a lot of weight, and her complexion is not very good.

In the divorce case she received a few days ago, Qiao Yun had already signed an agency contract with the lady surnamed Zhang, and she did follow the path of legal aid.

The woman wanted to divorce her husband, and she needed a compensation for the fact that she was beaten, but her husband didn't seem to be very happy with the divorce, and in the later inquiry, Qiao Yun noticed that the woman was beaten not only by her husband, but even by her husband's uncles and aunts.

The case also needs to be investigated and evidence collected, and it is best to have a police record from the public security organ and a medical certificate from the hospital to prove that the domestic violence and assault are proved, but it is obvious that the woman does not have a police record.

Qiao Yun thought about it and planned to help her apply for divorce litigation with the court first, and the problem of domestic violence can be combined with the divorce lawsuit to apply for moral damages, as for the beating of others, it will be beaten as a tort case, and then it will be dealt with after the court's divorce judgment.

The woman had no objections at first, and Qiao Yun also made the stakes of the case clear and what she said, and wrote a complaint for her and sent it to the grassroots court to file the case, but the woman regretted that she had withdrawn the divorce lawsuit afterwards.

Qiao Yun was really depressed when she received her call, didn't she tell her before? Why did she suddenly withdraw the lawsuit and not say a word to her in advance?

She has a lot of cases in her hands, and the woman didn't tell her why she withdrew the lawsuit, so she didn't care about it for a while, and went to work on other cases first, but because of this, the problem came again.

On this day, the woman and her younger brother came to the law firm, Qiao Yun happened to be busy with the matter at hand, and was about to ask her about withdrawing the lawsuit, but before she could speak, the woman suddenly became excited, threw away the cane she was holding, and said loudly: "You lawyer is black-hearted!" It's been so long since I got my case, and you won't help me! Did you say you took my husband's money? You're still calling me a divorce! How can I get a divorce first, after the divorce, the money is his, how can I get the money again? You, how can you do that......"

Qiao Yun couldn't listen to the rest of the words, because the woman began to scold as she spoke, and the content was a little ugly.

Although their law firm occupies the first floor of the office building, there are not many people in ordinary times, because the lawyers have their own cases to be busy and are not stationed in the office all the year round, but today it happens that there are a few other lawyers' clients, plus the interns are still relatively large during this time, the woman scolded like this, almost the entire law firm can hear her voice, Qiao Yun stood in the office with an ugly face.

She has not said anything, especially in this situation, as long as she speaks, it will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire.

The woman's love became more and more excited, Qiao Yun kept frowning and didn't speak, and when she paused slightly, she saw the stitches and said: "I have explained to you many times, divorce must be before the tort case, domestic violence is at most one of the divorce matters, and the joint property of the husband and wife cannot be compensated to you alone-"

Before she finished speaking, the woman scolded again, Rao is Qiao Yun's good temper suddenly became angry, she took a deep breath, walked directly to the door and pulled the door open, and said to the woman: "If you don't believe me, then I have nothing to explain, you can choose to terminate the agency contract and find someone else." ”

……

Finally got people away, Qiao Yun was physically and mentally exhausted, she sat on the chair, her eyes empty.

In the past few years, she has basically lived a fast-paced life, and there is no distinction between working days and rest days, working days need to be held all over the country, and the parties are received on weekends, Qiao Xiaoqiao has been by her side for four years, she has almost turned herself into a superwoman, and she is a father and a mother.

There was a photo of Qiao Xiaoqiao and her on her desk, she was only two years old at the time, the whole person was very cute and pink, and her big eyes were crescent-shaped when she smiled, Qiao Yun stared at the photo for a long time, and suddenly felt much better.

Qiao Xiaoqiao is very healing, as if as long as she looks at her cute face, her troubles will be gone.

Qiao Yun calmed down and opened the door and went out, and as soon as he walked to the pantry, he saw Ye Chengyu coming out of Director Tang's office.

He was dressed in a well-made black suit, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he looked much more heroic than before, Qiao Yun was stunned for a moment while holding the cup, and then raised a smile at him and said hello.

Director Tang followed behind him, and she had to do a full set of plays.

Sure enough, as soon as she was filled with water, Tang Lei said to her with a smile: "Lawyer Xiao Qiao will also come to this dinner at noon today?" ”

Qiao Yun subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Ye Chengyu suddenly said before she could speak: "Lawyer Qiao is busy with business, maybe he doesn't have that time." ”

Qiao Yun's expression was stiffened by his lukewarm tone, she raised her eyes to look at him, but he glanced at her lightly, and his expression was as contemptuous as he wanted.

Qiao Yun smiled, didn't mind the irony in his words at all, and continued with Director Tang's words: "Director Tang is really sorry, you must have heard that thing just now, it's really not good at noon today......"

It's just that before she could finish speaking, Ye Chengyu had already walked past her with empty eyes.
