Chapter 90: Style
Almost a minute after turning on the phone, Ling Li watched the number after the SMS option jump to "177" before stopping, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
There is so much information about the Spring Festival, don't think about it, it must be a group of lazy people who sent insincere cut-and-paste copies of the Spring Festival blessing text messages.
She clicked on it, and sure enough, the first one was "On the first day of the Year of the Rooster, I will send you blessings wholeheartedly......"
Flipping through one by one, deleting one by one, and finally deleting it made her upset, so she simply pressed all and emptied them all.
Looking at the empty text message inbox, someone with OCD is finally in a good mood, eats a bowl of noodles on the side of the street, and walks home slowly.
It's the sixth day of the first month, and she has officially lived the dream of sleeping until she wakes up naturally, and she doesn't have to do anything but be paralyzed.
Tian Daniu, a member of the study committee of all evils, said that although her limited qualifications are not worthy of her homonymous name with "Lingli", but in view of her correct attitude and serious study, and because the court does not open for business during the Spring Festival, she will be given two days off, and the judge will be on duty after the year.
This is also a helpless thing, because Nan Zhiyi, the main owner, is not there, and a lot of work cannot be carried out without his cooperation.
Tian Zhengyan said that Nan Zhiyi was escorted home by Nan's parents on the first day of junior high school, and then he was locked up and couldn't go out, and he had to memorize the family rules every day.
is such a big person, who usually commands at the students and makes him high, and mocks her coldly and fanciously, but he can be managed like this by his parents, which is really evil and evil.
She was curious for a while, and asked Tian Zhengyan what the situation was at Nan Zhiyi's house, why he didn't want to go home during the Spring Festival, and always worked against Nan Zhijun like a rebellious teenager, what was it for?
As a result, Tian Zhengyan's face sank on the spot and asked her not to ask, and told her again and again afterwards that if she didn't want to do this case, then immediately ask Nan Zhiyi the questions she was curious about, and ensure that he would immediately withdraw the commission to cut off the robe and never deal with her again.
It was rare to gossip but touched a nail, Ling Li was frightened by Tian Zhengyan's black face, and quickly threw the idea that arose at this time to Java.
She walked home from the city center for a full two hours, thinking about what had been forcibly stuffed in her head these days, and digesting the food in her stomach by the way.
As she was about to get home, a somewhat familiar car came into her sight on the side of the road.
Looking at the license plate again, it is even more familiar.
She reacted a few seconds later to whose car it was, and just wanted to turn around and dodge, but was caught by Zhu Jinchuan who was coming on.
Ling Li was a little at a loss.
The 200 million compensation case she just took over smashed her dizzy, and it was a bit foggy these days, coupled with Tian Zhengyan's close attention, Ling Li had no time to think about the previous case and the plan to resign later.
Of course, there is no time to prepare, and face Zhu Jinchuan, who has brought her a series of bad emotions.
Suddenly encountered, she wanted to pretend not to know and hide with her head down, but Zhu Jinchuan had already seen her, and she looked in a good mood.
Sighing secretly, she had to say, "Good luck director." ”
After a pause, he felt that his sentence was too dry, and he didn't even look sincere in greetings, so he had to add: "Which elder are you here to greet the New Year, right?" ”
Zhu Jinchuan shook his head slightly, denying her conjecture.
Then the voice was soft: "I came to see if you came home." Ling Li, where have you been these days? ”
As soon as he opened his mouth, Ling Li couldn't continue.
Although she had figured it out a long time ago, she was caught off guard and faced Zhu Jinchuan directly, still with such a gentle appearance, Ling Li still didn't know what to do, and she didn't even have the courage to raise her eyes and face him.
She was silent for a few seconds, and finally replied: "I went to play with my friends, thank you for your concern, I'll go home first." ”
After speaking, he lowered his head and leaned slightly to avoid him, but unexpectedly, at the moment when he staggered, he grabbed his left arm and bent it.
This unexpected contact made her heartbeat speed up slightly, and she immediately calmed down because of the pain in the position where she was being held.
Ling Li frowned and looked at his hand: "Director Zhu, is there anything else?" Can you let me go first? ”
He didn't let go, only said softly: "I regret it these days, I just want to say sorry to you sincerely." You can't get through the phone and you're not at home, I'm worried that I can't find you. ”
Zhu Jinchuan has found her?
Ling Li was stunned, and suddenly remembered that when she deleted the message just now, there seemed to be a record of a certain phone number dialed dozens of times during the Spring Festival, and she didn't care about it at the time, but now that she thinks about it, the string of eleven digits seems to be the number of Zhu Jinchuan.
As soon as she looked down, she noticed that he was still holding her arm, a little anxious, her ears began to heat up, and she hurriedly said, "Okay, I know, but please let go of my arm first, okay?" ”
Zhu Jinchuan didn't seem to hear her request, and it seemed that he was inadvertent, but the force in his hand increased a little more.
He said: "Second sister, I don't want to say that I have a hard time but to use you or something, if it's wrong, it's wrong, please give me a chance to make amends, okay?" ”
Listening to his sincere apology, but with a firmness that could not be refused, Ling Li felt a pang of chagrin in his heart.
Although there are not many pedestrians on the road, you can pull and pull with a man under the noses of your neighbors, and once you hear and see it, you don't know what it will become.
Seeing the strange eyes of a few passers-by, Ling Li was even more anxious, twisting his hand several times but not being able to break free, and wanted to break his hand in a hurry, but to no avail.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Jinchuan is thin, but it is not at all comparable to Nan Zhiyi's weak chicken who she throws at her casually, she just let him relax two fingers for a long time.
Ling Li was forced to have no choice but to repeat repeatedly: "You let go!" ”
It's just that this sentence, which should have been aggressive, changed under her somewhat annoyed and helpless mood, but brought some children to play games and play games and play angry tones when adults can't win.
Zhu Jinchuan was stunned for a moment, only to feel that the thin and soft voice drilled from his ears and eyes to the bottom of his heart, and his heart was blown by the smokey wind, and he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth: "Okay." ”
With that, let go of his arm, take a step back, and distance himself from her.
When she was embarrassed for a while, she raised her eyes to look at Zhu Jinchuan's calm and waveless expression, and then caught a glimpse of the nail marks on his fingers that he had just scratched, and for a while he was angry, weak-hearted, and unreasonable, and had mixed feelings, so he had to be silent in embarrassment.
Instead, Zhu Jinchuan spoke first: "Before the Spring Festival, you said that you were going to resign, and I was angry with you, okay?" ”
She bit her lip and didn't know how to answer, seeing that Zhu Jinchuan seemed to be approaching again, remembering the clamp that was so easy to break free just now, her previous firm determination to resign suddenly collapsed, and hurriedly replied: "...... Good. ”
Zhu Jinchuan pursed his lips and smiled: "Then what about giving you a holiday on the fifteenth day of the first month?" Is it okay to take a few more days off? ”
Ling Li had no choice but to nod again: "...... Good. ”
This two good in a row, the hills and ravines that made him frown slightly between his eyebrows finally dispersed, raised his head and patted her head, with a simple word: "Good." ”
Ling Li raised her head in astonishment and looked at the gentle and peaceful face in front of her.
Recently, why does everyone treat her like a dog, Nan Zhiyi shoots her, and I wish Jinchuan to join in the fun?
Ling Li hugged her backpack tightly, her eyes were full of panic that could not be concealed, and her lips were bitten white.
Finding that she couldn't quickly deal with the surging complex emotions, and was afraid that she would do something out of the ordinary if her self-control collapsed next, she simply turned around and fled in the direction of Xiaolou.
Raising his eyes to look at the slender back of the deserted escape, Zhu Jinchuan's eyes were dyed with a slight smile.
The eye-catching color of deep purple and red unexpectedly suited her, not only did she look fair and delicate, but the skirt-like hem of the coat was also extraordinarily delicate. Although it is still thin and lacks mature charm, it is much more pleasing to the eye than the old-fashioned and serious dress in the past
Inadvertently, the little wild girl back then has grown into an adult.
And the thick long hair that reached her waist rose and fell as she ran, reflecting the black and shiny brilliance of the sun, as if even the wind she brought up when she ran was dyed with a dazzling color.
Watching Ling Li's back disappear into the stairwell, Zhu Jinchuan couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth and chuckle. Such a vivid appearance, how could it ever appear on Ling Li? It gradually coincided with the beautiful and resolute shadow in his mind.
His mind sank slightly, and he immediately regained his composure.
A few days ago, because the phone couldn't get through, I was afraid that something would happen to her, which was really a bit torturous, for fear that this stupid girl wouldn't be able to think of anything to hurt herself for a while, and then he would really become a sinner.
Later, I learned from Uncle Zhang that she had returned to Nanxi, and I wished Jinchuan peace of mind for the time being, but he still couldn't help but come here every afternoon to wait, wanting to personally confirm that she was safe and sound.
Finally, when she came back and saw her figure, she was finally completely relieved, and the big stone that had been hanging in her heart for a long time fell to the ground.
Regarding Ling Li's attitude at that time, he was not without regrets and unbearable, but if there was a chance to go back in time and let him choose again, he would probably continue to choose before.
Her overly cautious personality and not so good qualifications make her really not suitable for being a lawyer, but since she chose and didn't give up, some bottlenecks can only be broken through by her own strength, and no matter how much help others give her, it will be useless after all.
And this time, the use hidden behind the case is an ordeal, but also an opportunity, which can help her recognize what she is looking for, whether it is the sudden care of others, or the realization of self-worth.
Just like the process of a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, the pain and struggle when breaking the cocoon is also to make its wings strong and ready to fly.
Growing up has never been easy, so in the more than a year that Uncle Zhang entrusted Ling Li to him, he would resist the urge to help her again and again, allowing this little rookie to wander and struggle in self-denial, and be tempered repeatedly in failure.
Fortunately, after this biggest setback, she didn't see him as an enemy, and the brilliance in her eyes was still flashing, and she was a little weak, compared with the lifeless appearance after the trial, she had obviously woken up.
Look at the fingers on her hands that have been broken by her, there are still traces of crimson and purple, and there are even some peeling skins in some places, like tiny crescents.
Zhu Jinchuan shook his hand and said to himself: "This girl is still so fierce." ”
After that, he smiled with relief, silently stood in place and looked at a window in the small building, and after a few seconds, he opened the car door and started the engine, and left along the winding alley.
