Chapter 7: Worries
After the fright of the playground, Lingche suddenly seemed to be a different person, all his troubles were thrown out of the clouds with tears, and he became extremely hard at work. She always thought that maybe only hard work could repay Xiang Ke for taking care of her, and only in vain did Xiang Ke's helpless good intentions when he was coerced and lured by his mother to be her boyfriend. Although Ling Che felt that the distance between him and Xiang Ke had unconsciously narrowed a lot, Xiang Ke still maintained his usual rigor, and treated Ling Che as seriously as he did with other staff. Ling Che was very grateful to him for being strict with herself, because only by being strict with herself would she feel that her job was not earned by relying on her father's relationship, and her efforts still had the value of being recognized and needed.
The mother watched her daughter become more lively day by day, and the stone in her heart gradually let go. At dinner that day, she stared at Lingche's round little face, and suddenly said whimsically: "Lingling, tomorrow grandpa's birthday, call Xiang Ke to come to the house for dinner, you have been dating for so long, everyone wants to meet him." ”
Su Lingche suddenly snorted: "Mom, Lawyer Xiang is very busy." ”
"No matter how busy you are, you have to eat." The mother nagged: "The future mother-in-law can't see her son-in-law." ”
"Do you want to see him, or do you want your aunt to see him?" Ling Che stared at his mother and sighed: "It's all a family, can you not fight with your aunt!" ”
"It's different, everybody wants to see your boyfriend anyway." Mother looked at Lingche and sighed: "Then you are fighting for your own breath, Su Lingxi ......"
Before her mother finished speaking, she was interrupted by Lingche: "Su Lingxi has been prettier than me since she was a child, she is sensible and better than me, and the boys who like her will always like me more than me, and the boys who chase me will desperately chase her when they see Su Lingxi." She is always radiant and charismatic. She can take on cases on her own now, but I'm just a small clerk who takes off. Mom, I'm not as good as Su Lingxi everywhere, but I'm also working hard and living hard. Although Dad is gone, he is guarding us in heaven, and we are very happy together! ”
After listening to Lingche's words, her mother was stunned for a long time before she said slowly: "Mom knows that Mom is too demanding of you. Actually, Lingling, it was his grandfather who wanted to meet Xiang Ke, although his grandfather was retired, he had been paying attention to the dynamics of the political and legal circles, and he was very interested in Xiang Ke. This time, my grandfather took the initiative to ask me if your father had a student named Xiang Ke, and I told him that the two of you were dating. ”
"But Lawyer Xiang works late every day, not to mention you, I rarely have the opportunity to see him in a department." Quiet and secluded.
"How can this work?" Mother was a little anxious: "You rarely see each other, how can you call a relationship?" You can't tell him, I'll tell him. With that, he picked up his phone and dialed Ke's number.
Ling Che hurriedly grabbed the mobile phone in his mother's hand: "No, lawyer Xiang will appear in court in a few days, he doesn't have time." ”
After a long time, the phone was finally connected, and Xinxin's sweet voice came from the microphone: "Hello, Lawyer Xiang is still in a meeting, do you have anything to do?" ”
"Oh, forget it, I'll call him when he's done." The mother hung up the phone, and suddenly said with a look of resentment: "Why is it that a girl answers the phone, and Xiang Ke is unreliable?" ”
"Isn't it the one you chose?" Ling Che smiled and said, "Xinxin is his secretary, and he will transfer his mobile phone to the office landline when he has a meeting, which is normal!" Mom, don't talk nonsense about me and lawyer Xiang in front of outsiders, you know our company's regulations. ”
"What regulations? That's not just to lie to a stupid girl like you. The mother nagged disdainfully: "If there are really so many regulations, how did Lin Jiarui and the person surnamed Qin get together." ”
"Mom! You mention it again! Lingche resisted.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, don't mention it, as long as you and Xiang Ke are okay." Mother said with a smile.
"Ignore you, I'm so tired today, I want to take a shower and go to bed early." Lingche burrowed into the bedroom with a grimace on his face.
After a long time, my mother suddenly shouted outside the door: "Lingling, do you think Xiang Ke will like her after seeing Xixi?" ”
Lingche shook his head helplessly: "Mom, you really can't finish your heart, if Xiang Ke is really that kind of person, he is not worthy of our sincere treatment, and Xixi will not like him, don't worry." If it's mine, someone else can't take it away, and if it's not mine, I can't keep it. ”
"Oh." The mother sighed, also thinking that she seemed to be too worried, smiled self-deprecatingly, ignored Lingqing, and began to clean up the room.
After taking a bath, Lingche nested comfortably in the warm quilt, holding a book in his hand, flipping through it boringly. Suddenly, the phone rang, Su Lingche casually raised the phone, and Xiang Ke's voice was full of heavy exhaustion: "Lingling, where are you?" ”
When working, Xiang Ke will always be an iron-faced and selfless face, how terrifying he is when he pulls up the appearance of training people, if he calls her Lingche, it means that he is in a good mood, if he calls her Su Lingche, then be careful, Xiang Lawyer may lose his temper at any time, if he calls you Miss Su, then you will be miserable, and there will be very serious and serious things happening. Ling Che was thinking in his heart, when did he call himself Lingling, this nickname is usually only shouted by family members, what does Xiang Ke mean. Ignoring his own thoughts, Su Lingche pretended to be calm and said, "At home, are you done with the meeting?" ”
"Hmm." Xiang Ke sighed, "I miss you." ”
Lingche's heart instantly rose to his throat, and he suddenly became messy: "Lawyer Xiang? ”
Xiang Ke smiled helplessly: "You haven't been dangling in front of my eyes for almost a week, I don't have time to take care of you, have you worked hard lately?" ”
"Of course." Ling Che nodded seriously, as if Xiang Ke was right in front of her: "I don't want to mention how hard I work." I know that this case you have been working on recently is a bit tricky, but unfortunately I can't help much, I will do my job well, I will assist Lawyer Zhang well, so that you try not to be distracted by other trivial matters. ”
"Hmm." Xiang Ke smiled slightly, as if he saw Ling Che's sincere face, "I know you're very well-behaved." ”
Very well-behaved? Is this a word used to describe a clerk? Ling Che shook his head and said without thinking: "Lawyer Xiang, don't worry, you will definitely win this case, I believe you." ”
"Hmm." Xiang Ke Chang let out a long breath, "Rest early, see you tomorrow." ”
"See you tomorrow." Lingche put down the phone, but there was a faint sweetness in her heart, and even she didn't realize that after this phone call, she actually had a kind of anticipation for going to work tomorrow. I'll be able to see Lawyer Xiang tomorrow. Xiang Ke is also a teacher and friend to her, and she feels that under the influence of Xiao Min, she has admired him a little. But Xiang Ke is too busy, even in a department, she has a rare opportunity to see him, if she sees him, there is a good chance that she will be scolded if she makes a mistake, but even if she is scolded, Lingche is also happy, just like everyone in their team knows in their hearts, scolding you to the lawyer, it means that he looks up to you and thinks you still have room for plasticity, if the lawyer Xiang is too lazy to pay attention to you one day, then you are really not far from leaving.
The case that Xiang Ke is studying recently is really tricky, and that's because their defendant is the government. Although the industrial belt was built on the outskirts of the city, far from the city, the city's inhabitants could even ignore its existence entirely. The government has connived at corporate pollution for the sake of financial performance, and it is only the poorest families in the area who are unlucky, most of them are old and weak, women and children, and young people have gone to work in factories, and they can risk their lives to make money, and they can ignore what the future holds. When he saw the little girl who had lost the luster of her life at a young age, and when he saw the skinny old man who was dying, Xiang Ke knew that he had to take care of this matter, although the possibility of winning this war was almost zero.
Lingche hadn't been to that area, but when she saw the photos and shocking data that Xinxin had brought back, she couldn't help but feel worried about Xiang Ke. Unlike the rest of the team, who had all of them presented Ke with a shrine, Lingche knew that it would be a war with no chance of winning at all. His father even paid the price of his life for such a thing! But she couldn't help but support Xiang Ke, and even she felt that she was not worthy of supporting him, so she could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that Xiang Ke's efforts would not be in vain, and that his efforts could awaken more people's civic consciousness.
Thinking of this, Ling Che couldn't help but sigh, and silently muttered in his heart, Xiang Ke, see you tomorrow.
