Chapter 362: Don't Give Up
The recent changes in Nanzhiyi are very obvious.
Since Zhong Zhuowen's accident, his alienation and indifference to Ling Li have long been gone, and he has been so good all of a sudden that he has even opened up a lot of new skills to take care of her, and even asked students to run errands and bring takeaway to her.
These days, he often comes to knock on the door, if she doesn't open the door for a little longer because of something at hand, the anxiety in his eyes is clearly visible, and the moment he sees her, the whole person is in a relaxed state, which makes Ling Li feel that he cares about her very much.
Even sometimes with her back to him, she could feel the burning of the gaze behind her, and when she couldn't help but look back to find out, she would meet those dark eyes that did not dodge or avoid.
She could see her own shadow in his eyes, and she could clearly feel the tangle between his brows.
But Zhong Zhuowen still can't sleep, she no longer has the heart and passion to make their relationship go further.
What's more, when he and she gradually get rid of the shock and grief of Zhong Zhuowen's attack in a few days, she is not sure whether he will return to the previous situation.
I haven't gotten it before, so I'm not afraid of losing. What would she do if she was accustomed to his tenderness and care, and suddenly lost it?
She didn't know if she was timid or didn't like it enough, anyway, she just wanted to shrink into her shell now, ignoring the wind and waves outside.
couldn't help but think for a while, Ling Li heard her uncle shouting downstairs: "Xiao Li, come out and send Professor Nan, he is leaving." ”
didn't have time to think about it, Ling Li hurriedly gathered his thoughts and hurriedly went downstairs.
When he went downstairs, Zhang Shouzhen was still holding Nanzhiyi for dinner.
Nan Zhiyi looked at the dishes that had been placed on the table, and felt a little regretful, but still decisively refused: "I still don't eat it, I have to work overtime tonight, and it's easy to get sleepy if I eat too much at your place." I had to stay awake and finish my preparations as soon as possible, so that the time for the inspection could be as short as possible. ”
He said this, paused slightly, and then turned his gaze to Ling Li: "It's over there early, so I can come back early." ”
Zhang Shouzhen was stunned for a moment, immediately laughed, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, come back early, come back early." ”
Ling Li pondered for a while, and finally whispered: "Be careful yourself." ”
Nan Zhiyi turned his eyes to her, smiled slightly, and ordered again: "You have a good rest, be with your family every day, don't run around, I'll be back as soon as I'm done with work." My phone won't turn off anymore, you can find me at any time. ”
Ling Li's heart felt a little soft and warm, and her heart itched out of place, but she warned herself not to think too much.
In special times, don't take anything he says seriously.
Zhang Shouzhen looked at them and smiled almost from ear to ear: "Okay, good, don't worry, I'm optimistic about Xiaoli." ”
The word "optimistic" is simply meaningful, and he thought that others could not hear it, so he shook his head proudly.
Her cheeks turned red uncontrollably, and Ling Li turned her head in embarrassment, only to see an unexpected figure.
"Master?" She was a little stunned, "Why are you here?" ”
Zhu Jinchuan raised his eyes slightly, raised a brown paper envelope in his hand towards her, and said concisely: "Verdict." ”
————
Zhu Jinchuan came, and Nan Zhiyi, who couldn't stay just now, didn't even leave, and agreed to stay for dinner.
Looking at a square table, the two of them were sitting facing each other, and Ling Li felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.
Nan Zhiyi and Zhu Jinchuan, both of them were expressionless, their eyes were not on each other, but they both paid attention to each other's every move with their spare eyes.
remembered that day at the police station, Zhu Jinchuan had quarreled with Nan Zhiyi for a few words, and then Ling Li fainted due to illness, and when she woke up, only Zhu Jinchuan was left by her side.
I don't know what happened between these two after the quarrel?
Ling Li didn't dare to ask or want to know the answer, she had a headache about how to end the atmosphere that seemed to have cremation flashing in the air, or what kind of topic to find to get rid of the current embarrassment.
However, fortunately, she can still hang her head and pretend to read the verdict seriously.
Zhu Jinchuan brought three verdicts, in addition to the two cases represented by Ling Li, as well as the case of Jin Yu.
His prediction after the trial was very accurate, and Jin Yu's sentence was a death sentence with a suspended limit.
The verdict has not yet taken effect, because I heard that Jin Yu appealed, and he did not know what his wife ate*, and had already increased the compensation to 2 million, hoping to get a few more victims and obtain further commutations.
Ling Li pursed the corners of her lips, a little disapproving.
"Leave that alone, you have at least two more lawsuits to win. Very well done, Ling Li. He spoke up and expressed his appreciation.
Ling Li hooked the corners of her mouth, her eyebrows stretched, and there was still a faint joy floating after all.
Zhu Jinchuan looked at her with a smile, and his heart that had been hanging was slightly relaxed.
Although Ling Li didn't go to work these days, he deliberately didn't tell him about Zhong Zhuowen's situation, but he knew some of the reasons.
He could guess that she had gone to the hospital that day, and he could also guess that she had been embarrassed by Shimena, and he could guess that she might have gotten into the horns.
Therefore, after getting the verdict of the case, he decided to send it to her in person as soon as possible, firstly, to have good news that could relieve her emotions, and secondly, to come and see with his own eyes and determine her state.
However, Ling Li did not have the sorrow he imagined, which still surprised him a little.
Could it be because of this person?
Zhu Jinchuan raised the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and seemed to look at the billboard in the distance casually, but his eyes actually quietly slipped past Nan Zhiyi, who was sitting quietly opposite.
This person has now become one of the reasons why he is most worried about Ling Li. He believed that Nan Zhiyi would not have any ill will towards Ling Li, and he could even see the secret feelings between the two of them.
But it was their closer and deeper ties that worried him the most.
Zhu Jinchuan is not like Lu Xiaoxiao, he never likes to meddle in other people's emotional affairs, it is like a person who knows how to drink water and knows it, and he thinks it is a well-intentioned interference, but in fact, if he doesn't do it well, he is not a person at both ends, and it can be said that it is the most loss-making business in the world.
knew that he should stand by at this time, but he couldn't help it and wanted to help her show her the way.
A few meters away, Ling Li's aunt pulled Zhang Shouzhen and looked at the three people at the table, showing a hint of doubt: "Don't you think, it's a little weird over there?" ”
Zhang Shouzhen was unaware and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
My aunt stared at it a few more times, turned around, and lowered her voice: "Don't you think that the atmosphere between these two men and one woman is not quite right?" Professor Jinchuan and Nan, why do you feel a little bit right? ”
Zhang Shouzhen came back to his senses after a few seconds, and his eyes were round: "You said Jinchuan?" Impossible! He is much older than Xiao Li, and he has been divorced! ”
My aunt hurriedly pulled him to turn his back and said, "You be quiet, don't be afraid that he will hear it!" ”
After that, he whispered to Zhang Shouzhen: "Zhu family boy, you and I watched grow up, is he a warm-hearted person, don't you know?" I cooked for him for half a year, and I haven't seen him smile sincerely, and when he looks at other neighbors, he is also polite to the outside, is he too attentive to Xiao Li? ”
As she spoke, she glanced over there a few more times and came to a conclusion: "Anyway, I don't look right." ”
Zhang Shouzhen was a little reminiscing, thought about it, and shook his head resolutely: "No, Jinchuan is grateful for his kindness, he is just sensible early, unlike other boys who have no heart and lungs, where is the cold-hearted person you said?" ”
After speaking, he glanced at his wife and gave him a warning: "Don't tell right and wrong!" If there is something unpleasant, I don't blame others, I blame you! ”
My aunt stacked a pot of soup on the table next to her, turned around angrily and left.
Zhang Shouzhen didn't care, pursed his lips, picked up the soup and was about to serve it, but saw a strange woman in front of him.
His hair was messy, his face was pale, and his eyes were red, and he was ghostly.
Zhang Shouzhen was a little vigilant, and stepped up to meet him: "Are the guests eating?" ”
The woman nodded slightly, and looked around, her gaze focused.
In the next second, she bypassed Zhang Shouzhen in front of her, and really ran to Ling Li's table.
Zhang Shouzhen didn't have time to remind, so he had to pull his neck and shout: "Xiao Li! ”
At the same time, Ling Li had already heard the voice, and as soon as he looked up, a somewhat familiar figure came into view a few meters away.
Ling Li saw the person in front of her clearly, stunned, and very surprised.
But in less than a week, she could barely recognize Shimena.
Her hair was messy, her eyes were red, and her eyes were full of hatred as she stared at Ling Li.
Nan Zhiyi immediately stood up vigilantly and stopped in front of Ling Li: "What are you doing here?" ”
"What for?" She sneered, "What do you say, what else can I do for?" ”
His heart couldn't help but tighten, Ling Li hurriedly stood up, pushed away Nan Zhiyi in front of him, and said in an anxious voice: "What happened to Zhong Zhuowen again?" ”
Shi Meina kept looking at her, and after sneering twice, she gritted her teeth and said, "Ling Li, why don't you die with your family?" ”
Nan Zhiyi's eyes narrowed slightly.
Looking at her cheek bite tightly, the knife in her eyes was eager to stab Ling Li in a few transparent holes, needless to say, it must be Zhong Zhuowen's side, something is wrong again. Moreover, I'm afraid it's the kind of life and death.
Shi Meina's eyes were frighteningly red, and she continued to scold Ling Li: "The family is harmful, and your sister has caused Chengheng to be imprisoned for eight years and fall ill. Now it's your turn to be weird, to help you find out what to solve the case, my Wenwen, now lying in the hospital I don't know if I live or die, the doctor told us to either give up, or go to artificial lungs, our family, I'm afraid it's just that people and money are empty! ”
Her upside-down words made Ling Li stunned for a while, especially what artificial lungs were that Ling Li didn't know at all.
Nan Zhiyi naturally knew, and after a little groaning, he speculated that in addition to the cause and effect.
It should have been that at first they thought that the lung infection was not too serious, but it was not controlled, and now the respiratory system is no longer functioning, and Zhong Zhuowen is struggling to close the ghost door, and it is possible to use a huge artificial lung.
That's almost a cost of 20,000 or 30,000 a day, even if Zhong Chengheng has a base of several million in state compensation, it can't last three months.
Besides, the chance that artificial lungs can save people back is less than 30%.
His gaze swept over Shi Meina, and then looked at the nervousness and concern on Ling Li's face, Nan Zhiyi sighed slightly.
It seems that what she cares about is not Shi Meina's threat, but Zhong Zhuowen's safety.
After a few seconds, he made a decision, and said to Shi Meina: "Sixteen-year-old girl, her vitality will be very tenacious, and the artificial lungs can hold her until her bacteria are self-limiting, and her lungs can recover their function, you can trust the doctor." As for the cost, feel free to come to me. ”
