144 All our lives we have been mad
Xu Mushen's performance was like the performance before the will was exhausted, and I thought of the few times he had erupted, and this time, it seemed to be even more turbulent. [≤ eight [≤ eight [≤ read [≤ book, .▽.o√
Little by little, his face enlarged in front of me, as if he wanted to swallow me with his light breath.
I closed my eyes and tilted my head to the side.
It didn't take long for the pain in his hand to disappear, followed by his deep voice penetrating his ears: "Haven't you slept well these days?" Bags under the eyes came out. ”
I opened my eyes suddenly, and the man in front of me was already sitting back in his place, and he reached for his cigarette case, took out a cigarette and lit it, as if nothing had happened.
"Oh, I didn't sleep well." I replied.
"Let's have lunch together." He stood up and cleaned up the papers on the table, and we will talk about the divorce lawsuit during dinner.
I said, "Ciyun asked me to have lunch with him." ”
Xu Mushen paused lightly, raised his head and said, "We are talking about business, I'll call him." ”
Xu Mushen didn't ask for my opinion, took out his mobile phone and called Jiang Ciyun and said that he wanted to talk to me about Yan Jin's divorce lawsuit.
He hung up the phone and said to me, "Ciyun has agreed." I'm tired of eating at the restaurant near the law firm, and I drank alcohol today, so you can drive me. ”
I didn't really want to eat this meal, but I couldn't say no right now.
"Where do you want to eat?" I asked.
"Let's see on the way." Xu Mushen took his mobile phone and wallet, and threw it to me when he passed by me: "Go." ”
I followed him, and when he went down the stairs, he almost fell, and I grabbed his arm with my quick hand, and Miss Zhao and the lawyer were still downstairs, poking their heads out to look at us.
"Boss, where are you going?"
Xu Mushen glanced at me, twisted his arm and sped up his steps downstairs, and said to them, "Go to lunch, remember to close the door." ”
I drove, and Xu Mushen quickly sat in.
"Where are you going?"
He said, "Let's go straight ahead and see." ”
I drove slowly, Xu Mushen never said stop, in fact, he had already passed by many places where he could eat, and kept turning his head to look out the window.
This feeling of suffocation is quite terrible, and I began to look for opportunities to test: "By the way, Mu Shen, why don't you stay in love, isn't it too high?" ”
Xu Mushen turned his head to look at me and chuckled: "Why do you suddenly care about my life's events?" Do you think I should go to the temple like Ah Shen? ”
He said this seriously, which is actually quite funny.
I said, "No." Shouldn't friends care about each other? What a lawyer, what are you going to do in the temple? ”
"Then if you weren't married, would you consider me?" He brought it up for no reason, and my grip on the steering wheel stiffened.
"Say what? Let's think about what to eat, it's all a long way away. I pretended to be natural and pulled away from the subject.
But he didn't want to give up on this topic, and asked: "The lawyer's question must be answered seriously." ”
I thought about it for a moment and said, "Probably not." ”
"Reason."
"If we were really fated, we should have met it a long time ago." My heart was already turbulent, I didn't know how Xu Mushen knew me before, and I really didn't remember seeing him before I met him. I greedily wanted to find some clues in a natural way.
"Really?" Xu Mushen smiled: "Stop, the one in front looks good." ”
I chuckled in my heart, the place where Xu Mushen pointed was where my parents used to open a restaurant. I think I borrowed some money from my aunt to open the store, and then closed it because of my father's illness and health problems.
Those stores and the surrounding storefronts have also changed several times. The one my parents used to open is now also a restaurant, a small shop, and the signboard has the words "special pot".
"Is it a special pot?" I confirmed with him.
Xu Mushen asked, "Hmm." ”
After hearing the affirmative answer, my heart was even more confused, if I hadn't heard Shang Lin's words, I could have thought it was a coincidence, but now I think he did it on purpose.
I parked the car in front of the parking space in front of the store, Xu Mushen unbuckled his seat belt and got down, and I followed closely and walked into the store together.
Behind the glass sliding door, the aroma is particularly strong, and there are guests at two of the eight tables. As I passed by a table, I could vaguely hear the bottom of the pot hissing.
We asked for a pot chicken, Xu Mushen asked for a bottle of beer, and I said, "You drank a lot in the law firm, and you still drank it?" Didn't you work in the afternoon? ”
Xu Mushen laughed twice: "The afternoon is relatively free. What about you, when do you work? ”
"I guess I'll be there tomorrow." I picked up the tea that is not of high quality and drank it, it was very bitter, this kind of tea is the standard configuration of small restaurants, a few years ago ten yuan a catty, restaurants below the mid-range are basically this category, my parents have also bought it to entertain guests, although it is not delicious, somewhat familiar taste.
I carefully looked at the decoration of the store several times, it was really a long time ago, it was still a cement floor, the table was a yellow square table with four corners, there was no glass door, and the smoke exhaust performance was not good.
Not now, except for the smell of tea and this place, I really can't get back the feeling I had at that time.
"You seem to be interested in this." Xu Mushen suddenly opened his mouth.
I turned my head to look at me. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but the appearance of Shang Lin, who was heart-pounding and disturbed his peaceful life, began to seem that nothing was wrong.
"Have you been here before?" I don't answer rhetorical questions. I know that Xu Mushen stayed in this city when he was studying, he and Jiang Ciyun met, and later Jiang Ciyun came out of school to do business failure, and the two of them met, and they also lived in the house rented by the owner of the billiard room. I also know that Xu Mushen's family relationship with his family is also lukewarm, but apart from these, I don't know much about him, on the contrary, he understands me and guesses what I am thinking again and again. If you have known each other for a long time, or have been paying attention to it for a long time.
"I should have been here." Xu Mushen gave me an ambiguous answer.
I looked at him, and I didn't think that Jiang Ciyun and I were together was a reason to stifle the possibility of Xu Mushen and me, after all, before Jiang Ciyun, I had married another man. Is that love letter really for me, or is it ...... Just the same name and surname?
"By the way, I remember asking you if you've ever been in a relationship, and you said it was a secret crush. Who's that girl? I asked suddenly.
Xu Mushen's action of touching the cigarette stopped slightly, he squinted, and asked me with some tears and laughter: "What's wrong with you today?" Seems to be particularly concerned about my emotional experience. Are you going to introduce me to a girlfriend? ”
I said, "Just ask, you see, you should know my affairs very well, but I am always vague about your affairs, isn't that fair?" ”
"Even though I'm a lawyer, there are things that aren't fair. Don't talk about me, let's talk about the case. Xu Mushen seems to be deliberately avoiding these topics.
I do want to know what Yan Jin needs to divorce if he is a lawsuit, or what kind of procedures he will take, after all, when Lu Li and I divorced, I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau privately by myself, and I didn't know much about litigation.
I nodded: "Okay, it's okay to talk about the case." It seems unlikely that Yan Jin and his daughter-in-law will mediate the divorce in private, and the girl refuses to leave, so she may still have to go through legal procedures. ”
The cigarette on Xu Mushen's fingertips had already been lit, and he slowly exhaled the smoke and said: "If it is a divorce by litigation, when the court finds that the relationship between the husband and wife has indeed broken down after mediation and there is no possibility of reconciliation, the court can make a judgment granting the parties a divorce." ”
I dodged slightly, since Jiang Ciyun quit smoking, I am not used to the smell of smoke, and the brands they smoke are also different, so the taste is different.
I cleared my throat and asked, "Listen to you, it doesn't seem to be difficult to solve." ”
Xu Mushen tugged at the corners of his mouth and said lightly: "Small case." Litigation divorce is generally about children and finances, and these Yan Jin writes very clearly on paper. Although it is a matter of child support, the court will take into account who is more capable of raising the child and who is more conducive to the child's growth and development. But Yan Jin is not obsessed with this, as long as he can get a divorce, he wrote on it that he can meet all the other requirements of the other party, including child custody and the specific division of property. Most of Yan Jin's property belongs to Yan Jin personally, and the part after marriage, what he is willing to give is actually more than what his wife can get. So he really decided to divorce and let him take the time to come to my law firm. I filled in the information so that it could be delivered early. ”
The aroma suddenly crossed between us, a large pot was placed on the table, and the beer that Xu Mushen asked for also came. There are a lot of corn cakes pasted on the side of the pot, and the chicken and peppers are very beautiful in color, which makes me very appetizing when I look at it.
I wanted to use the chopsticks to move, but Xu Mushen's hand stretched out, he helped me peel off the chopstick cover, polished it a few times, and then handed it to me and said: "This kind of disposable chopsticks have a lot of wooden thorns, which is easy to prick your hands, and when you eat out in the future, it's best to grind it like this." ”
