Chapter 426: Winter Comes
After Nan Zhiyi was acquitted, Ling Li's dejected appearance made Zhu Jinchuan not too relieved.
After Zhu Jinchuan dug her out of a pile of reporters at the gate of the courthouse, he took her to his car and planned to take her home.
When they left the courthouse, it had already begun to rain, and a curtain of rain covered the city, and Ling Li, who was supposed to cry a lot, was suddenly quiet and well-behaved.
Zhu Jinchuan became more and more uneasy, but he also knew that he had no position to say anything at this juncture. So, he simply sent Ling Li back to Uncle Zhang, and simply explained the cause and effect before leaving.
With her family taking care of her, she won't do stupid things, right? As for the injuries left by Nan Zhiyi this time, they can only be left to time to remedy.
I don't know if I can wait until the day when she comes out completely.
After sending Ling Li away, Zhu Jinchuan suddenly didn't want to go home.
Because this case has delayed too much work, I don't have the heart to rest now, so I simply go back to the office and numb myself with work.
In the elevator of Baiyang Building, Zhu Jinchuan rubbed the back of his sore neck, remembering his experience these days, and smiled bitterly. He didn't understand what Nan Zhiyi was thinking, why he had to be asked to represent this case and watch such an entangled plot.
Then, he once again left Ling Li behind and fled alone.
In all fairness, he Zhu Jinchuan has never been a person who admits defeat easily, but he understands that if Nan Zhiyi refuses to let go, Ling Li will only go all the way with him.
Unexpectedly, this courageless coward did not dare to take responsibility for the woman he loved.
Something flashed through his head, and he suddenly realized something.
Could it be that by letting him participate in this case, Nan Zhiyi entrusted Ling Li to him in such a form?
He thought about it and felt that he was thinking too much, rubbing his eyebrows and smiling bitterly for a while, gradually putting away some divergent thoughts.
What else could he do with Ling Li? Between getting along day and night, he has long had irrepressible feelings for her, how can it be that she has no one to guide her, no one cares, a person who hits her head full of blood, or gets into the tip of the horn and can't get out again.
He was no longer able to stand alone.
After getting out of the elevator, he went back to the office. It's just that I thought it should be dark there, but unexpectedly, there are still office lights on.
"Xiao Lu?" Zhu Jinchuan was a little surprised, "Aren't you still on vacation?" ”
"I'll come back to get the file, and I can't do anything without taking maternity leave."
"It's better to pay attention to your body, the work can't be done." He whispered, pushing open the door to his office.
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't have the usual radiant spirit, only looked at Zhu Jinchuan, and sighed deeply: "I really don't understand you, why let them get close again?" What if she insists on going with him? ”
Zhu Jinchuan smiled bitterly: "Do you think I can stop it?" Even if I don't stop it, can they be together? ”
Lu Xiaoxiao thought about it, and smiled bitterly: "I understand what you mean." ”
Between Ling Li and Nan Zhiyi, now that Tao Xing and Lu Dongsheng are in the middle, it is too difficult to act as if nothing happened.
What's more, Nan Zhiyi couldn't predict what kind of harm his actions would cause to others, no matter whether he still had feelings for Ling Li or not, he would not let Ling Li stay by his side.
Zhu Jinchuan obviously understands better than her, but seeing too clearly is often not a good thing.
Lu Xiaoxiao wanted to persuade him a few words, but found that there was no way to talk about it.
Instead, Zhu Jinchuan persuaded her: "Go back, you are not a lonely person like me, what are you doing here if you don't go back to your home?" ”
Lu Xiaoxiao nodded, glanced back at a lonely lamp in his office when he went out, and then silently went downstairs and got into Li Guo's car parked on the side of the road.
She had just fastened her seatbelt, but she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable and shed tears.
Li Guocai started the car, and when he saw tears in the corners of her eyes, he immediately became nervous: "Wife, what's wrong?" Who made you angry? ”
Lu Xiaoxiao took out a tissue, pressed the corner of her eye, and observed in the mirror that the eyeliner did not flower, and replied sullenly: "It's okay, it's just a feeling." ”
After that, she told Li Guo about her conversation with Zhu Jinchuan in the office, and sighed and commented: "The person who pays has no regrets, and the person who is loved is not necessarily happy, the triangular relationship between these three people is really harmful and hurts himself." ”
Li Guo was also silent for a while, took the time to free up a hand, and squeezed Lu Xiaoxiao's hand: "No matter how difficult things are, they will always pass, don't worry, Ling Li is stronger than you and me, and I wish the lawyer is also an understanding person." No matter what happens, I believe they will find their own happiness. Especially Ling Li, even if there is no Nan Zhiyi, she will not be depressed for too long. ”
Lu Xiaoxiao nodded firmly, with a burst of pride in her eyes: "Of course, I watched Xiao Lingzi grow up with my own eyes, how could it be bad?" ”
Li Guo smiled: "It's so old-fashioned, as if you are someone else's elder." ”
Lu Xiaoxiao raised her chin: "Isn't it, she has no relatives and no reason, I am half of her relative." ”
Li Guo smiled, he wanted to have fun and say a few more words, but suddenly remembered Ling Li's family, and another thing came out of his head.
He said to Lu Xiaoxiao: "A few days ago, I heard from a colleague that the little girl who was attacked by Qian Yang with severe head trauma seems to have some abnormal brain waves. ”
Lu Xiaoxiao was taken aback: "Is it about to wake up?" ”
Li Guo frowned: "I don't necessarily have to wake up, this is a mixed blessing." It may be to wake up, or it may be that the condition is getting worse, who can tell? ”
Lu Xiaoxiao was a little looking forward to it: "I hope that little girl can wake up, as soon as Qian Yang dies, no one will know what is going on in that case, and that girl will know a little clue." ”
The look in Li Guo's eyes was a little obscure.
Lu Xiaoxiao immediately sensitively noticed his emotional changes, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Guo wanted to speak and stopped, and after thinking for a few seconds, he shook his head slightly: "I don't know why, I always feel that this matter is not over." Xiaoxiao, if you are free, you should remind Ling Li, it is better to be careful, it is better not to live alone. ”
"What the hell is going on? Did you find anything in that case? The doubts in Lu Xiaoxiao's heart became more and more serious, "If you don't make it clear today, we won't go home." ”
Li Guo said with a complicated expression: "I didn't find anything, but it doesn't make sense in many places." For example, why was Zhong Zhuowen attacked on the way to Heishui Town, and was the reason why she went there the reason why Qian Yang wanted to kill him? For another example, what kind of character is the homeless man who was killed by Qian Yang's penicillin allergy? I've always felt that there should be a thread that strings these things together to form a reasonable inference. It's just that now the person concerned is dead and faint, and there is really no way to find out the answer. ”
Lu Xiaoxiao frowned when she heard this: "You mean that there may be people who are not good for Xiao Lingzi?" Is there still a murderer? It seems that it is indeed necessary to remind Xiao Lingzi. ”
Her whimsical inference gave Li Guo a headache, and she quickly explained her: "This is my professional habit, in fact, I am too worried, since the real murderer has been punished, there should be no danger." ”
Lu Xiaoxiao stared at him with a suspicious look, Li Guo's eyelids jumped when she saw it, and she simply suggested in a brisk voice: "Let's go, take you for a ride in the rain, lest you have nothing to do and think all day long." ”
After speaking, he stepped on the accelerator and raised the speed of the car, which caused Lu Xiaoxiao to exclaim.
————
Autumn goes to winter, sending away the golden ginkgo biloba leaves in late autumn, ushering in a hazy and unbearable winter.
Fortunately, the heating in the law firm is sufficient, and even in the weather close to zero degrees outside, Ling Li can work in single clothes without worrying about the cold outside.
After writing the closing report in the morning, Ling Li handed over the file back to the archives.
Lu Xiaoxiao, who had already returned to work, passed by her and deliberately bumped her shoulder: "I heard that you won again?" ”
"Well," Ling Li's expression was calm, "this case is very simple, not difficult. ”
Lu Xiaoxiao scoffed: "Look at your arrogant appearance, now that you have the ability, dare to talk to the old lady?" ”
Ling Li was so aggrieved: "This is what I think, why do you keep picking on me." ”
"Humph!" She shook her head, then pointed at the tip of Ling Li's nose, "I have always been tough on the little sluts who covet my partner's position. ”
Ling Li shook her head helplessly: "How can it be so exaggerated." ”
However, Zhu Jinchuan mentioned at the regular meeting two weeks ago that Ling Li has been practicing law for three years, and she can propose to become a partner if she has achieved excellent results in the past year, and Lu Xiaoxiao began to target her with everything.
It's just that Ling Li knows that the queen is just a joke on a whim.
After making fun of Ling Li, Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly turned the gun again: "What he thinks about you, are you still confused?" ”
was mentioned by Lu Xiaoxiao Zhu Jinchuan, Ling Li sighed: "For more than a year, you have come to ask once every two weeks, and it has become a daily routine." ”
Chong Lingli squeezed her eyes, and Lu Xiaoxiao was not embarrassed at all: "I know you hate me for blatantly pimping, but Lao Zhutou is really good, and I also hope that you will be happy." ”
Ling Li pursed her lips, but didn't say anything after all.
She once thought that after experiencing the case of Nan Zhiyi's innocence, and seeing the collapse she suffered because of Nan Zhiyi, she wished Jinchuan would wisely give up pursuing her.
Unexpectedly, he still insisted.
It's still a quiet concern, it's still the flowers on the table every week, the takeout she forgets to eat when she eats, or the cup of hot chocolate on the table when she's working overtime.
It lasted like a long stream for more than a year, but more and more people felt the difference he had with Ling Li.
Basically, the current situation has been known to the whole law firm, and Director Zhu has a relationship with Lawyer Ling that goes beyond the relationship between teachers and students.
Ling Li really didn't know how strong Zhu Jinchuan's psychology was. She collapsed and cried because of Nan Zhiyi, he saw it in his eyes, but he could completely ignore it, as if Nan Zhiyi had never appeared.
After saying Zhu Jinchuan, Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered that she had been able to make the little rookie in front of her happy.
She pursed her lips and asked cautiously, "What about him?" Still no news? ”
Ling Li's hand froze for a moment, and then nodded slightly.
