Back in the office, Tan Man took out his mobile phone from a pile of documents and sent a text message to Gu Mochen.

"Lawyer Gu, are you working overtime tonight?"

Within a few seconds, I received a reply from the other party: "What? ”

"There's a little legal matter, I'd like to consult you."

As soon as the news was sent, the phone rang, and it was Gu Mochen who called, Tan Man was startled, he didn't expect the other party to call directly.

She glanced around, picked up her phone and walked out.

"Hey, Lawyer Gu."

"What's wrong, what's the problem?"

"It's not me, it's a student in the school, and the situation is a bit complicated, and I can't explain it for a while, so I thought, if you come back early in the evening, I'll consult you by the way."

According to the current situation in China, it is generally not a good thing for ordinary office workers to consult legal issues, after Gu Mochen saw her text message, he stopped the urgent file in his hand, walked to the window, and dialed her.

At this time, he inexplicably played: "Do you know the fee for consulting me?" ”

"Huh?"

Just ask, don't you collect money.

Tan Man has never thought about the issue of consultation fees, but after thinking about it, people are famous, why waste time answering your questions for free.

"Uh...... So, I'll treat you to dinner?! ”

Gu Mochen just said it casually, but he didn't expect her to answer like this, but he had no intention of interjecting willows, and hooked a smile on the other end of the phone: "Okay, just tonight, how about it?" ”

"Tonight?" If Tan Man had a mouthful of water in his mouth at the moment, he would definitely not be able to squirt out, this would be a little too efficient, "Then, okay, just tonight." ”

"Well, I'll pick you up from your school after work."

"Don't be so polite, you name a location, I'll just take a taxi myself."

"I'm just stopping by, there is a parent-teacher meeting in Xiaobei Kindergarten in the afternoon, and I'll take him directly over when it's over."

I see.

Manman was embarrassed for a while: "Okay, I'll wait for you at school." ”

Hanging up the phone, Gu Mochen looked at the bustling CBD street scene downstairs, and couldn't help but chuckle, the intersection that is still congested looks a lot more pleasing to the eye today.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Mochen arrived at the gate of Bo'ai Special Education School on time.

Tan Man took her bag and rushed to the elevator, in the elevator, she specially took out her lipstick and lightly traced it on her lips, sipped it, and cut her hair and skirt, everything was in order, and smiled with satisfaction at herself in the mirror.

The black Audi had stopped not far from the gate, the cab window was down, and she saw at a glance the highly recognizable side face, which seemed to be talking on the phone, and when he saw her, he did not forget to bow slightly.

Tan Man also responded with a smile and was walking towards the car, when someone suddenly stopped her behind her.

"Manman, is your boyfriend coming to pick you up?"

Tan Man turned around, and it was Mr. Zhang from the Finance Department who spoke.

Teacher Zhang is a middle-aged woman in her early forties, with a loud voice and excessive enthusiasm, as soon as she shouted like this, Tan Man subconsciously glanced at the man in the car, fortunately, the other party was still on the phone.

"It's not your boyfriend, you misunderstood Mr. Zhang."

"The little girl is still shy, how normal it is for you to fall in love at your age, I'm afraid that many male teachers in the school will be sad."

"Teacher Zhang, don't make fun of me, I'll go first, my friend is waiting." He waved at her and walked away.

When she came to the car, she hesitated whether to sit in the co-pilot or sit in the back with Xiaobei.

"Sit here." He had finished speaking, looked at her, and tilted his head slightly to the passenger seat of the car.

Tan Man was stunned for a moment, and then walked over obediently.

Fastening his seat belt, Tan Man turned around and greeted the little guy sitting honestly in the back seat: "Hey, Xiaobei, aren't you happy today?!" ”

"Vines!" Xiaobei's shining eyes blinked, "Brother said that he was going to have dinner with Manman tonight, and he was happy." ”

Tan Man subconsciously moved his gaze to the man next to him, and the other party also happened to turn his gaze, looking at each other, the air suddenly became ambiguous, and in his eyes, there was something completely different from the usual calm and serious, like a rippling wave, flickering, disrupting her breathing, of course, all this was limited to her unilateral fantasy.

"Xiaobei, you can't call it Manman, you call it Sister!"

His gaze returned to the road ahead, and there was a resoluteness in his eyes.

When the child in the back heard it, he was emotional, as if he was deliberately against him, and shouted a few decibels: "Vines!" ”

At this time, Gu Mochen frowned.

Tan Man couldn't help laughing, it was rare for her to see two brothers with such a big age gap competing for a small thing the size of a sesame seed.

She smiled: "It's okay, Xiaobei and I are friends, it's more cordial to call Manman!" ”

When the other party heard this, he was a little unhappy: "Then you should also change your name." ”

"What?" Tan Man didn't understand what he meant.

"Lawyer Gu!" When he said these three words, he glanced at him, and there was a little disgust in his eyes, "Are you my client?!" ”

Tan Man pondered for a moment, and said faintly: "You are older than me, then I will follow Xiaobei and call you brother, right?" ”

Brother?!

Gu Mochen frowned: "I don't have the habit of recognizing my sister!" ”

"And what do you call it?" Tan Man pursed his lips.

The other party did not respond.

After a while, she suddenly opened her eyes wide, and suddenly said: "Oh, I know, you pay me salary, it's my boss, let's call Boss Gu, how about it?!" ”

“……”

If Gu Mochen hadn't been driving a car, he would definitely have to squirt a mouthful of old blood.

Before the invitees could ask what they were going to eat, the invitees took the steering wheel and drove them directly to the door of a private restaurant.

After parking the car, Gu Mochen pulled Xiaobei to walk in front, and Tan Man followed closely behind, and walked into this somewhat antique "He Ma's Private Cuisine".

"Welcome, hello, how many people may I ask?!" The little girl who greeted the guests at the door greeted Gu Mochen warmly and greeted Gu Mochen, who had just entered the door.

"Three, booked a box, surnamed Gu." Gu Mochen walked in front calmly, pulling Xiaobei's back, looking like a good father of the Gu family who had achieved fame.

"Mr. Gu, please come here, in the lotus room!" The little sister walked briskly ahead and led them into the box.

Tan Man was a little surprised, this façade looks like an ordinary private restaurant, the decoration inside is chic and attentive, the whole environment is fresh and elegant, which makes people appetize, but at first glance, it is not an ordinary place for consumption.

"This place, I've been here a few times, it tastes good." After taking a seat, Gu Mochen said.

Tan Man smiled and nodded, behind the smile, she heard the sound of her wallet crying, fortunately, when a bank account manager came to the school to sell a credit card last month, she wisely got one.

The little sister walked in with the menu card and handed it directly to Gu Mochen.

"What do you want to eat?" He looked up at Tan Man.

"I'm not a picky eater, you can just order it." She pursed her lips and smiled.

When Gu Mochen heard this, an intriguing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When he began to flip up the menu, the little girl next to him began to introduce enthusiastically.

"The new family set menu launched by our store not only has children's dishes, but also suitable for parents and parents, and the amount is just enough for your family of three to eat, do you want to try it?"

Mom?!

She was about to look up and explain something, but the man opposite turned a deaf ear and said, "Okay, that's it." ”

The little sister respectfully left the box.

Tan Man was a little depressed, covered her cheeks with her hands, and muttered: "Do I look so old, where do I look like my mother?!" ”

When Gu Mochen heard her words, he laughed sullenly: "I thought you would mind something else, such as 'a family of three'." ”

After being reminded by him like this, Tan Man realized the implication of this, and smiled awkwardly: "This shows that compared with others, what women care about most is age." ”

"I take Xiaobei out, and I am often treated as a father, just get used to it." Looking at her slightly red face, Gu Mochen suddenly felt better, "Say, what questions do you want to ask?!" ”

"Say it now? I'm embarrassed to talk about work at mealtime. ”

"It's okay, I'll send you home after eating in a while, and I'll go back to the law firm." He spoke with ease, especially with certain words.

"You're so busy today, why didn't you say it earlier, and I wasn't particularly anxious about that." She looked at him with a little apology on her childish face.

"It's okay, you can use your time efficiently."

When Tan Man heard this, she didn't be polite anymore, anyway, this meal was her treat.

So she took out the torn advertising paper from her bag and handed it to him, and the other party roughly understood it at a glance.

"The victim was a student at your school?" He asked.

"Yes, she is a mentally handicapped girl, named Xiaoqing, ten years old, her parents are migrant workers, she applied for a poverty support quota to enter our school, and now she has been treated unfairly because of xx, trying to protest by dropping out of school, posting big-character posters outside the school, I know that it is futile to do so, and it may backfire, but these are really facts, but the school is closed to the news, and that He Li also resigned. So I want to ask, in the case of Xiaoqing, if there is a glimmer of hope if she goes through the legal process. ”

"The so-called hope is to get compensation or to send the other party to prison?"

"Actually, I don't know the specific circumstances of the case, and I haven't even met and spoken to her parents, but that little girl used to be my student, it's really pitiful, I know that kind of isolation, grievances and nowhere to redress grievances, besides, they are all outsiders, under the influence of the other party, it is even more difficult to get any fair treatment."

"So you're making claims?" Gu Mochen frowned, "Not afraid of getting into trouble?!" ”

Tan Man blinked his innocent eyes: "No, I'm ...... It's just a matter of consulting first, and besides, if I help privately, no one will know. ”

Gu Mochen looked at her thoughtfully for a few seconds before continuing: "Sexual assault and molestation of children under the age of fourteen, especially vulnerable children with intellectual disabilities, is definitely more than half a month of detention such a punishment, how much can you say about the specific situation?" ”

Looking at the other party's ignorant shake of his head, Gu Mochen smiled bitterly: "Then I can't make any judgment now." ”
