Su Yu and Huo Ran met in the elevator.

Huo Ran's expression was still faint, he changed into an iron-gray dark pattern fine checkered jacket suit, only buttoned the front button of the suit, the dark blue polka dot tie was properly tucked in the jacket, the shirt shallow exposed the cuffs, and the delicate cufflinks reflected the faint light.

Su Yu stared at him in the elevator reflector, as well as himself next to him.

She is wearing a simple white shirt, a light gray dark brown dark grain knitted tweed skirt, a small pouch in cold green, and a black cocoon coat.

Although the two were a little embarrassed, they were both adults, so they could only pretend that nothing happened.

As soon as Lu Yuzhou saw Su Yu, he praised her dress according to the usual practice: "A model of dressing for women in the workplace." ”

Su Yu bent her lips and smiled, she came early today, carried the breakfast of two or three people in her hand, and shook it at Lu Yuzhou: "There is breakfast." ”

Breakfast was prepared by Aunt Lin, she knew that Su Yu worked with her college classmates every day, and wanted her college classmates to take care of her more, so she simply made more breakfast.

Huo Ran is a bachelor, too lazy to prepare breakfast at home, and usually goes to the law firm to eat something casually to cushion his stomach.

Lu Yuzhou simply cleaned up the table and helped Su Yu put out the breakfast.

The red wooden lunch box neatly arranges the food, ham and egg sandwiches, sweet potato cakes, tenderloin patties, egg soft cakes, three servings of hot milk, and a plate of after-dinner fruit.

Lu Yuzhou ate several sandwiches in a row, Huo Ran didn't talk much, but he also ate a lot of things, and the two of them ate the entire plate in a while.

Su Yu took a photo with satisfaction and passed it to Aunt Lin.

Aunt Lin was very happy: "Next time you have time, bring these two young men to me." ”

Lu Yuzhou looked at it and was happy, he wiped his mouth clean, made a victory gesture, and said: "Su Yu, take a picture of me, you have to be handsome, my mother said, my face is the most popular among middle-aged and elderly women." ”

As a result, Huo Ran's face also appeared in the mirror.

He didn't know when, so he stood silently behind Lu Yuzhou and naturally snatched half of the shot.

Lu Yuzhou was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

Huo Ran laughed, and suddenly there was a knock on the door: "Lawyer Huo, the client is looking for you." ”

*

After breakfast, everyone went to work.

Lu Yuzhou has a backlog of several divorce cases in his hands, and the court has not yet been held, and the judges are tired of him every day urging the court.

Su Yu followed Huo Ran to the living room to meet the parties.

It was an elderly couple, dressed decently and well-mannered, the old lady raised her head, her eyes were red, and the old gentleman was wearing glasses and wearing a Tang costume, and he held the old lady's hand tightly.

He stood up and greeted, "Lawyer Huo." ”

Huo Ran nodded.

Su Yu went out and poured four cups of hot tea and came in.

The old lady's mood was not very stable, and as soon as her eyes blinked, tears fell, and she looked away and wiped her tears.

Su Yu silently handed her the tissue.

The old gentleman's voice was hoarse: "My wife and I are both university professors, and my daughter committed suicide the day before yesterday. On dying out. ”

As he spoke, his throat rolling up and down, choking.

Her eyes were full of red bloodshots: "She is a best-selling author, there is a book that has been involved in the storm of suspected plagiarism, she said that she did not plagiarize, but netizens have been abusing her, and she has always had depression, the day before yesterday she participated in the new book sharing meeting, someone smashed eggs at her on the spot, threw garbage, insulted her, and then as soon as the sharing meeting ended, she locked herself in the hotel room and jumped from the upstairs." ”

When Su Yu heard this, his eyelids jumped, and his heart chuckled.

The old gentleman held back his tears and continued: "Her pen name is Mu Yu. ”

Su Yu's heart tightened, she thought about it, it turned out to be the author she had discussed with Xian Yu that day...... She actually committed suicide.

Huo Ran leaned back in the chair, pursed his lips slightly, his dark eyes were very calm, and he said indifferently: "I only take on criminal cases, if it is confirmed that it is a suicide, I cannot prosecute." ”

Before the old gentleman could speak, the old lady gritted her teeth, raised her eyelids, and her eyes were red and swollen: "They killed my daughter, I want to sue them, if it weren't for them, my daughter wouldn't have died." ”

Huo Ran said: "If you think there is no plagiarism, you can arrest a few typical people and sue for defamation; If you want to identify plagiarism or not, or if you want to file a lawsuit, I can recommend you to a professional IP lawyer. ”

"I don't fight intellectual property lawsuits, I want them to pay for my daughter's death."

The old lady gritted her teeth, she trembled her hands, took out a few photos from her bag, put them on the table, and said, "These people are all girls who scolded people at the sharing meeting that day!" They scolded my daughter for not dying, saying that my daughter had used someone else's talent to make money. ”

Huo Ran twisted his eyebrows, glanced at it a few times, and said: "Legally speaking, your daughter's suicide has nothing to do with these people, and it cannot be prosecuted, and even if it is sued, it cannot be proven." ”

I don't know which word angered the old lady, she stood up suddenly, her face flushed, and her tears kept rolling down: "Aren't you a lawyer?" Why do you say that there is no way, those villains humiliate my daughter with the law that cannot be proved, you, as a lawyer, also said such things. ”

Her eyes widened, her chest heaving violently, and she was clearly angry.

Huo Ran didn't have a good temper, he wrinkled his eyebrows, lost his patience, and was already planning to send off guests.

Su Yu also felt that the old couple's request could not be completed at all.

The old gentleman was much calmer, he pressed the old lady's shoulder to calm her down, and he stared at Huo Ran; "Lawyer Huo, we believe in your professional ethics ......"

Before he finished speaking, Huo Ran took a sip of tea and said, "But unfortunately, I don't have any professional skills in intellectual property." ”

The old lady broke down and cried: "You don't know that these demons are still humiliating my daughter, and they still refuse to let her go in peace." ”

Su Yu sent the two old men away and returned to the office.

Huo Ran has already entered the state of work, he still has a rape case in his hand, and the court will be held in a while, he heard the sound of the door opening, he didn't raise his head, and said directly: "Read these materials and sort out the key points, because the evidence is a bit miscellaneous, you sort out a list of evidence, and give it to me after you finish it." ”

Su Yu didn't speak, and took the materials in his hand.

It was a little heavy, and she shook it hard to steady.

Huo Ran saw that Su Yu didn't move, and his low and pleasant voice sounded: "Su Yu, you can't save everyone, especially, when you don't have the ability to save people, or perhaps, the other party doesn't need your salvation at all." ”

Su Yu bit her lower lip, returned to her desk, and began to browse through the materials.

Lu Yuzhou didn't return to the law firm until the afternoon, he won the divorce case, and he planned to go out to celebrate, he asked, "Su Yu, do you want to have dinner together?" ”

Su Yu replied, "Okay." ”

Huo Ran turned the pages of the dossier: "Shouldn't you ask me before you ask my intern?" ”

Lu Yuzhou didn't bother with Huo Ran: "Let's go, Lawyer Huo has a treat today, Su Yu let go of his belly and eats hard, as far as I know, Lawyer Huo has a large amount of money today, and the money for several cases has arrived, right?" ”

Su Yu smiled.

The place of dinner was set at the shopping mall not far from the law firm building.

Lu Yuzhou suggested: "How about eating Brother Zhang's hot pot?" It's so cold, just to warm yourself up. ”

When he was about to arrive at the restaurant on the seventh floor, Lin Xianyu called.

Su Yu hung up the phone and conveyed with a smile: "Do you mind having one more person?" ”

"Don't mind." Lu Yuzhou said.

Su Yu blinked: "A judge of the Executive Board, her name is Lin Xianyu, and she is my friend. ”

Of course, Lu Yuzhou knew Lin Xianyu.

When he was in college, Lin Xianyu was Su Yu's good friend, and several people more or less intersected, but after Su Yu and Huo Ran broke up, they naturally didn't get along, and now they finally got together, and they are all in the same legal circle, regardless of the identities of judges and lawyers, there are a lot of gossip to talk about.

Lin Xianyu and Lu Yuzhou toasted, she said slowly: "Fortunately, we don't have a common case now, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to eat together." ”

Lu Yuzhou poured a beer: "Yes, there was no sentence before - you must invite friends from the public procuratorate and law to invite guests, because they don't have time to eat, and they don't dare to eat when they have time." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he made himself laugh and laughed convulsively.

But Lin Xianyu's smile was also low, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Actually, what I'm most afraid of are those who are not satisfied with the verdict, they say that they want to petition at every turn, and they need evidence to petition, and then deliberately find someone, wait for me at the door of the court, and run away as soon as they stuff something into my hand, and then someone in the corner must be secretly taking pictures, and the most angry thing is that what he gave me is actually a box of insoles!" Why the hell, you want to slander me for bribery, and you actually think that a box of insoles can buy me! This is a contempt for my * naked. ”

Lu Yuzhou laughed even louder.

The soup in the hot pot kept rolling and bubbling, Huo Ran didn't say much, he concentrated on the next thing for the three of them to eat, he was quite good at studying food, every time he clicked on something, he would look at his watch, estimate the time, and then scoop it up.

Unlike the university, he is not like before, he only cooks for Su Yu alone.

Lin Xianyu also ate the shrimp slip under Huo Ran, because the time was accurate, the shrimp slip was fresh and tender, and the taste was very good.

Lu Yuzhou also remembered a lot of gossip in the circle: "That's right, you know that intellectual property bull, right?" Yesterday, he fired his housekeeper. ”

Su Yu didn't know about it either, she raised her eyes and waited quietly for Lu Yuzhou's words.

Lu Yuzhou smiled cheaply: "Guess, the cleaner told the story between that lawyer and whom?" After he finished speaking, his dark eyes fell on Huo Ran and Su Yu's bodies, which was meaningful.
