Chapter 16
"Lawyer Su, I'm still a little worried that I won't win this lawsuit." Zhuang Wanyi said softly, and sent a voice message over, her voice was a little weak, Zhuang Wanyi no one will care about her now, winning or losing this lawsuit actually means that she can still take this road in the next life.
If she loses, then she loses completely, and if she wins, she may become popular all over the Internet because of this opportunity.
It is said that the night can provoke her emotions the most, Zhuang Wanyi is in this big room, and it seems a little desolate to stay alone, and she has encountered something again.
"It's okay, don't worry." Su Ze also typed a string of words, "Tomorrow I will go to the company you mentioned to find out, and there may be more convincing evidence from others." ”
"Thank you, Lawyer Su." Zhuang Wanyi is not even in the mood to look at the handsome guy now, after sending this sentence, she washed up and gave Xu Xiaoxiao and Su Ze a good night, and then prepared to fall asleep.
After Su Ze saw the thank you lawyer Su, he originally didn't want to reply to these polite words, but twenty minutes passed, and Zhuang Wanyi's message came from his mobile phone, so he typed another string of words.
"No thanks, let's rest early."
It seemed that this was not enough, and he sent another good night.
Maybe it's because after Su Ze said good night to her, Zhuang Wanyi's mood became much better and she fell asleep peacefully.
On the other side, Xu Xiaoxiao was still lying on the bed and worried about Dong Jiu's affairs.
She Xu Xiaoxiao is not such a casual person, will she like Dong Jiu after a long time of contact? Impossible things. But there was always a feeling in her heart telling him that Dong Jiu was Dong Jiu, and there had never been a second Dong Jiu with the same name and surname.
Xu Xiaoxiao just thought that she missed Dong Jiu in high school too much, to be honest, she felt that the current Dong Jiu who was a lawyer laughed was no different from Dong Jiu in high school.
It seems that I want to make a good appointment with Dong Jiu and make things clear to him, and I can't be so ambiguous anymore.
Xu Xiaoxiao secretly made up her mind in her heart to prepare for tomorrow!
Dong Jiu's home is a little deserted, there have always been only Chen Xuefen and Dong Jiu, this may be the deepest night of conversation between mother and son.
"Dong Jiu, tell your mother, do you have a girl you like?" Chen Xuefen will not beat around the bush, she is a person who will say whatever comes to mind, especially for her son, and has never been evasive in language.
At this time, Dong Jiu happened to come out of the bathroom and wiped his hair with a dry towel, and water droplets fell.
From the temples, to the cheeks, and from the angular face to the neck, there is something tempting.
"Hmm... Yes Mom. Dong Jiu's hand wiping his hair was stunned, but he still admitted that sooner or later he had to say it.
Dong Jiu is not stupid, he has been so happy these days, and others can see through it as well, he originally planned to tell his mother tonight, but he didn't expect Chen Xuefen to open his mouth.
I can't hide any of my thoughts, and my mother will see through it.
"I was going to talk to you today..."
Dong Jiu was about to talk about it, but was interrupted by Chen Xuefen.
"You, you haven't been able to hide things since you were a child." Chen Xuefen interrupted Dong Jiu's words, this sentence did not mean any blame, and it even sounded a little spoiled.
After serving the last dish, he pulled out two more chairs and said, "Let's eat first." ”
Dong Jiu nodded and threw the towel next to the dirty clothes to be washed.
"Mom, do you agree with me falling in love?" After Dong Jiu said this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.
"Why not? You're not too young, it's time to find a suitable girl to fall in love. Chen Xuefen said.
Is it suitable for girls... What if it doesn't fit?
Dong Jiu was still thinking about this question in his heart, and Chen Xuefen said another sentence and pierced Dong Jiu's heart.
"When will you bring it back for Mom to see?"
After hearing Dong Jiu admit the news, she was actually quite happy, she and Dong Jiu would finally not be the only ones in this family, her wish was that Dong Jiu could find a daughter-in-law who really loved each other, and the two could spend the rest of their lives together in peace.
But after this sentence came out, Dong Jiu's expression was a little wrong.
After Chen Xuefen saw it, she didn't continue the topic much, but changed the topic and continued, "What? Haven't caught it yet? ”
"Hmm." Dong Jiu hummed softly, he didn't even catch up, why did he come to ask his mother if he agreed to fall in love with him, it turned out that something was wrong here.
Falling in love can really affect IQ and get carried away. Dong Jiu thought to himself in his heart, but he was willing, just to get carried away by Xu Xiaoxiao.
"Why?" Chen Xuefen continued to ask, and for a moment she began to be afraid that the other party disliked her son for not being good enough, but she couldn't say it.
Dong Jiu understood his mother's worries, and only said one sentence, "Mom, don't worry, she doesn't look down on me." ”
"She's a doctor and her family is pretty good, but we're not bad now, and I haven't been able to fall in love with her for other reasons." Dong Jiu added another sentence.
Since I was a child, I was afraid of being looked down upon by others, but now I may be looked down upon, but I just want Xu Xiaoxiao to be able to afford it alone, this may be loving someone.
"So, are you guys because of work?"
Although it is said that lawyers are very busy, doctors are not lazy professions, and people who don't have some strength really can't sit firmly in the position of doctors, it seems that that girl should be very good.
Thinking of this, Chen Xuefen felt a little more happy in her heart, and when she saw that Dong Jiu did not reply, she said, "Do you have a photo?" Can I let my mom take a look? ”
"It's not because of work, it's because of some of my problems." Dong Jiu knew that saying this would make Chen Xuefen worried, but he didn't plan to tell his mother about it, so he had to hide it.
After speaking, Dong Jiu went to the coffee table and picked up the mobile phone he threw down, the photo, Xu Xiaoxiao's WeChat circle of friends has.
"You see, this is the one."
The girl in the photo looks very delicate, without a little makeup, and her bones reveal that she is clean.
The more Chen Xuefen looked at the photos, the more satisfied she felt, she was already beautiful like this without makeup, so what if she wore makeup? Isn't it a fight with the four beauties of ancient times?
Chen Xuefen nodded and said, "This girl is very good." ”
"It's a pity, she's a bit hard to chase." Dong Jiu smiled bitterly, when he was flipping through Xu Xiaoxiao's circle of friends, he clicked on the chat interface between him and Xu Xiaoxiao, so he saw Xu Xiaoxiao's news, and it was fake to say that he was not sad, but he was not a vegetarian, how could it be considered a pursuit without a little difficulty?
When Chen Xuefen heard this, she didn't want to say anything, she believed that Dong Jiu, who could say it, had already finished speaking, without a trace of concealment, but just said softly, "Come on, you don't have any experience in chasing girls, the main thing is to be good to her, so that her heart can be turned into you, so that you can catch up." ”
Although Dong Jiu has never chased girls, he has watched a lot of TV series, and he knows a little bit about it.
For example, the girl's message should be replied in seconds, giving her enough security, and comforting her when she is sad and disappointed, these are enough.
When he was just flipping through Xu Xiaoxiao's circle of friends, he sent a sentence to the past.
"Xiaoxiao, since you don't refuse, I'm going to start pursuing you."
Dong Jiu didn't say anything, but after saying that he knew, he didn't speak again.
This state of affairs lasted until a quarter past ten o'clock in the evening.
Dong Jiu was still a little scared in his heart, if he wanted to pursue Xu Xiaoxiao, he would definitely take her to meet her parents, he was afraid that Xu Xiaoxiao would react if he knew that he was the same Dong Jiu back then.
Dong Jiu gently opened the door of his room, revealing a crack out, the TV flashed and flickered, and saw that his mother was still sitting in front of the TV watching variety shows, so he came out and sat next to his mother.
"Mom, what if I cheat on a girl?" As soon as Dong Jiu said this, Chen Xuefen's face immediately changed.
"You, deceived the girl?" Chen Xuefen couldn't believe it, so she asked again.
"Hmm." Dong Jiu didn't realize the error of this sentence, nodded and said yes.
"Which girl did you fool?" Chen Xuefen's expression was a little serious, and she sat up straight and took Dong Jiu's hand.
"Mom, I didn't mean that, you think too much." Only then did Dong Jiu realize what he had just admitted, and hurriedly denied it.
"It's quite complicated to say, but it's definitely not that kind of deception, I'm pursuing someone for the first time, mom, you can see it." Dong Jiu said another word, which made Chen Xuefen quiet.
"And what do you mean?" Chen Xuefen looked at her son, and couldn't guess the meaning of his two sentences, indicating that he had deceived a girl?
In fact, it's not terrible to lie to girls, what is terrible is that you need to use more lies to round this lie for this lie, paper can't contain the fire, and when the girl knows these things, it becomes out of control.
Chen Xuefen feels that as long as it is not against morality, she will choose to forgive.
Two people are not suitable for falling in love at all, what needs to be seen is whether the other party will choose to tolerate some small problems of the other party, be considerate of each other, understand each other, so that you can go further and longer, if you keep complaining about each other's small problems, of course you will not have a long-term love.
Chen Xuefen felt that her son should not be able to do anything out of the ordinary, so she patiently asked, "Can you tell your mother about it?" Of course, you can also have your own little secrets, and I can't bear to see you so upset. ”
"Mom, I met a girl when I was a freshman in high school, and she took care of me everywhere, but I... Left without saying a word. Dong Jiu's voice was a little low when he said these words, but fortunately Chen Xuefen had good ears, otherwise he really couldn't hear it.
"I've met her for so many years, and the last time I went to the hospital with an ankle injury, I saw her, and the subsequent contact made me realize that what I liked was always her."
Dong Jiu didn't dare to say that he had discovered his heart of wanting to fall in love with Xu Xiaoxiao very early, so he just replaced it with these words.
"You know, I've changed too much in the past few years, and she didn't see that I was the same Dong Jiu before, but if I fell in love with her, I don't think I should lie to her... She's so smart she'll definitely find out. ”
After speaking, Dong Jiu lowered his head, and many thoughts sprouted in his heart, but he denied them one by one.
He was so hasty before that he forgot about this problem, what would Xu Xiaoxiao do when he knew that he was the previous Dong Jiu, and how to explain it in order to get Xu Xiaoxiao's forgiveness.
Xu Xiaoxiao once said in a chat that she hates being deceived the most.
"It's your fault in this matter, but as long as it doesn't touch the bottom line, I think such a gentle girl will forgive you." Chen Xuefen took her son's hand and slapped it twice before she spoke.
"But what if her bottom line is to deceive?" Dong Jiu questioned.
"Mom, do you know, I was quite cowardly in the first year of high school, and some classmates would come to bully me, and I didn't tell you that I was afraid that you would worry."
Dong Jiu thought about it and planned to tell the whole story, so that his heart knot could be completely untied.
"I didn't tell you that I was bullied, I used to look really bad, I can't deny that, so sometimes, I don't dare to socialize until she shows up." Dong Jiu said that his eyes were a little red.
Xu Xiaoxiao will always shed tears in his heart.
"Her presence has solved many of my difficulties and made me feel that this world is beautiful and the future is promising." Dong Jiu was a little choked up after speaking.
Chen Xuefen patted Dong Jiu on the shoulder and said, "It's my mother who didn't take good care of you, I'm sorry Dong Jiu..."
This matter is her negligence, she admits that she has been teaching Dong Jiu not to bow her head, and has been emphasizing the family reasons of her family, it is her point of view that is wrong, I didn't expect to say this, if she was Dong Jiu's age, I am afraid she would have been tired of hearing it a long time ago.
"I've also done something bad, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Chen Xuefen really didn't expect her son to experience this on campus, she just blindly cared about his grades, and didn't care about his social situation.
Dong Jiu is too filial, Chen Xuefen thought of this, coupled with Dong Jiu's reddened eyes on the side, which made her want to cry when she saw it, she is not a strong woman, she will cry at some moments, but she never wanted Dong Jiu to see it.
She gave Dong Jiu a bad high school days.
"Don't be sorry Mom, I took a break from school to work, and when I came back, I met a friend I met in my previous winter vacation in that class, and the two of us worked together."
"I don't dare to think about her, I've been studying hard, studying hard, and when I got to college, my habits haven't changed."
Su Ze is also the most important person in his life, without him, he would not dare to have these thoughts, and even pursue Xu Xiaoxiao, it was Su Ze who gave him the courage, he was still too weak...
"I got the certificate, my friend and I started a career, and we happened to have an ankle injury and went to the hospital, so we met again."
"But she didn't recognize me, and I didn't dare to face my past, so I didn't admit it at first." After Dong Jiu finished speaking, he leaned on Chen Xuefen's shoulder as if he was still a six-year-old child.
"Everyone's lies are meaningful, and some people lie for themselves and for profit, but you are not." After Chen Xuefen adjusted her emotions, she continued.
"It's because you love someone too much that you worry about it, and I'm happy for you. At first, Mom was worried about whether your liking was real or fake, but this time, it seems that it is true. ”
Chen Xuefen seemed to recall some of the past, and did not speak for a long time.
This time it was twelve o'clock in the evening, Dong Jiu did not fall asleep, and Chen Xuefen did not fall asleep.
"But if you love someone, you should be honest with each other, right?"
Chen Xuefen asked Dong Jiu,
Dong Jiu didn't speak, but nodded, Chen Xuefen felt her shoulders move a little, she knew that Dong Jiu nodded, so she continued.
"It's better to settle the misunderstanding between you as soon as possible, you know?"
"Got it." Dong Jiu's voice trembled as soon as he spoke, he didn't dare to speak more, he was afraid that his tears would fall as soon as he spoke, he was not a child, he couldn't cry.
At least he couldn't cry in front of his mother, so he felt really ashamed.
"Don't do stupid things in the name of love, you know? If we can't catch up, we can stop in moderation. Chen Xuefen still couldn't help but remind.
Dong Jiu did not reply.
Chen Xuefen spoke again.
"She'll forgive you, do you trust Mom?"
"I believe it, and I believe she will forgive me." Dong Jiu finally made up his mind, and when this Zhuang Wanyi's lawsuit was over, he would find Xu Xiaoxiao to explain it clearly.
"Then go to sleep, don't think about it." Chen Xuefen is also a little sleepy, it's really too late now, since the family has no debts, she has been used to going to bed early, today is because Dong Jiu has a pursuer, this is a little sleepy, I didn't expect Dong Jiu to come to her to ask for some opinions.
After all, what woman doesn't love beauty, and if she can go to bed early, she will definitely go to bed as early as possible.
At this time, Zhuang Wanyi and Xu Xiaoxiao had already fallen asleep, and Su Ze also began to fall asleep, leaving Dong Jiu and Chen Xuefen without sleeping.
Dong Jiu will also have a headache, and he will make an appointment with Zhuang Wanyi and Su Ze to find the people under the company early tomorrow morning to ask if they can find strong evidence.
He glanced at the wall clock on the wall, it was already past twelve o'clock, and if he stayed up any longer, he would not be able to get up tomorrow.
"Good night mom." After Dong Jiu said good night to Chen Xuefen, he stumbled towards his room, and after Chen Xuefen saw him enter the room, he also turned off the TV and walked towards his room.
When you are old, you can't listen to these words, and if you listen too much, you will think of the happy days in the past, and people will only recall the past when it is not good, and it seems that it is still not good now.
Chen Xuefen shook her head and turned off the lights.
After Dong Jiu returned to his room, he opened WeChat on his mobile phone, sent Xu Xiaoxiao a good night, and added a sentence.
"I miss you a little, more than a little."
I also sent a cat lying in front of the window, with the emoji of I miss you so much, it looks like an idiot.
In the curtains that were not drawn, a glimmer of moonlight was revealed, and there was a moon today.
Soon Dong Jiu also fell asleep.
Early the next morning.
Xu Xiaoxiao got up early to prepare to go to the hospital, she knew that today was the day for Dong Jiu Su Ze and Zhuang Wanyi to find evidence, but she still had to go to work in the morning, so she couldn't go with them in the morning.
She was afraid that Zhuang Wanyi would oversleep, so as soon as she arrived at the hospital and started work, she called Zhuang Wanyi and prepared to call her to get up.
She started work at eight o'clock, and they made an appointment at nine o'clock, so it shouldn't be too late to call Zhuang Wanyi at eight o'clock, right?
But she didn't expect that within a few seconds of the phone, Zhuang Wanyi answered the phone and shouted loudly.
"What's the matter, smile? Aren't you in the morning class today? "Zhuang Wanyi missed no one could miss Lawyer Su Zesu, so I set an alarm clock last night, an alarm clock at seven o'clock, plus washing and makeup, going to have breakfast at eight o'clock, and then rushing to the meeting place, the time is just right.
"You're up?" Xu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised when she heard this voice, but then she thought of Su Ze, the lawyer, and explained all this again.
She could see that Zhuang Wanyi was really interested in Su Ze.
"I just wanted to call you to get up, I'm afraid you'll be delayed, and I'll hang up since I'm up." After Xu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he was about to hang up the phone.
"Eh, wait, wait, wait!" Zhuang Wanyi immediately said three words in a row, "Xiaoxiao, are you coming in the afternoon?" ”
"Definitely yes, you're frizzy, I'm not at ease." Xu Xiaoxiao said with a grin, this is a joke, but she can't rest assured that Zhuang Wanyi is true, she can't wait to pay attention to these news at all times.
This matter is related to the second half of Zhuang Wanyi's life, all of her college life is pressed on this career, and if she doesn't mix this mouthful, there is really no place for her to find a good job.
"Go to your class, you're frizzy." Zhuang Wanyi glanced at the time on her watch, it was almost eight o'clock, she knew what time Xu Xiaoxiao went to work, and she didn't want to delay her.
"Make a call when you come and we'll pick you up."
"Okay, okay, got it." After speaking, Xu Xiaoxiao hung up the phone, she was afraid that the two of them would chat for a few more minutes, so she took her card to report and started to work.
On the other side, Dong Jiu and Su Ze also got up at eight o'clock.
The two did not choose to eat at home, but arrived at the agreed place forty minutes in advance to buy breakfast, it is a breakfast shop, it is a ten-year-old store in the city, the local people know that this shop is cheap and delicious, Zhuang Wanyi is a native, this shop is not easy to find.
There were still four days left before the court session, and they couldn't afford to delay that time, and there were still many things to meet and discuss, which had been decided the night before.
Calculate that they only have three days, minus today, if there is no harvest today, then the day will be in vain, but this is also the most effective, once there is any evidence, this is the most effective and convenient.
Zhuang Wanyi is a person in the circle, and it is not very difficult to get to the address of some small artists in the company in this city.
When she and Su Ze were discussing the case last night, they made a list, and there were a total of six artists, one of whom was still somewhat familiar with Zhuang Wanyi.
We met and chatted for some days when we collaborated on commercials before, but we didn't have much contact after the commercials were filmed.
