Chapter 61: "Back to Normal"
Sure enough, not long after this case, Shi Mu received another court summons, but this time, it was the identity of the defendant.
Lin's mother had no choice but to invite lawyer Gao to help defend again.
Early the next morning, Lawyer Gao came to Lin's house and wanted to do some understanding of the case through Shi Mu first.
Because Shi Mu was unwell, he had to let Lin Zi speak on his behalf.
Lawyer Gao asked Lin Zi in detail about the contradictions and grievances between the two, and Lin Zi told Lawyer Gao everything in 1510.
Lawyer Gao nodded frequently while taking notes.
"I see."
"Lawyer Gao, what are our odds?"
Lin Zi was a little worried.
"Basically, there is no problem, as long as there are witnesses to testify."
"Witnesses? Can I be a witness? ”
"Yes, but in the end, you have to find another one that has nothing to do with Shi Mu, after all, no matter what, you are also her relative."
"I see, I will. Lawyer Gao, I'll leave everything to you. ”
"I'll do my best, and then about the witnesses, I'll ask Miss Lin to help me follow up."
"I'll go to them and testify."
After Lawyer Gao said goodbye to the Lin family, Lin Zi thought of Xu Shen and immediately sent a message to Xu Shen, hoping that he could testify in court.
—Xu Shen, are you there?
After a long time, Xu Shen did not answer.
Lin Zi was a little anxious, so he sent a message again to ask Xu Shen.
—Xu Shen, are you here, I have something to look for you.
- I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I didn't look at my phone just now, what's wrong, what's the matter?
— That is, do you know about Shimu?
- I probably know that I have won the case before.
- Hey, Bi Ran's parents were unwilling and dissatisfied with the outcome of the previous case, so they applied for an appeal again.
- Sister-in-law, what do you need me to do?
—I just hope you can testify in court, just tell me how Bi Ran usually treats Shi Mu.
— I see, I'll go, don't worry.
- Thank you very much, Xu Shen, but there is one more thing that needs your help.
- Sister-in-law, you said, as long as I can help, I will do my best.
- Today, the lawyer came to our house to investigate, he means that he hopes to have more witnesses, which is more beneficial to winning the lawsuit, I thought about it, Bai Yuchen and Chen Fan are more suitable, so the testimony is also more favorable, so can you help me persuade them to testify in court, because I am not very easy to come forward, I am afraid that they will refuse directly.
— No problem, wrap it up on me.
— Then thank you, Xu Shen. When this is over, I'll treat you to dinner.
- No thanks, I'd love to help you, I hope this matter ends soon. However, I still have to eat the rice.
— Got it, yours is indispensable.
After Lin Zi sent a message to Xu Shen, he was relieved.
Soon, it was the day of the trial.
Lin Zi sat in the hearing seat with Lin's father and Lin's mother, very nervous.
The plaintiff's lawyer and Mr. Gao went back and forth and did not give in to each other.
Under the aggressiveness of the plaintiff's lawyer, Mr. Gao applied for the presence of witnesses.
After hearing the testimony of the witnesses, the plaintiff's lawyer was instantly speechless.
Mr. Gao seized the opportunity and pressed forward step by step.
After discussion between the judge and the judge, the results were announced.
After walking out of the courtroom, Lin Zi and Lin Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and now they can be regarded as being able to return Shi Mu's innocence.
After getting out of court, when he returned home, thinking of the things of so many days, his hanging heart could be regarded as falling, Lin Zi was finally relieved, and he could be regarded as fulfilling his promise to help Shi Mu.
At the Lin family's dinner table.
"Come, let's raise a glass to celebrate, our Mumu can be regarded as clearing suspicions."
Father Lin said, raising his glass.
Lin Zi and Lin Mu also raised it one after another.
"Mumu, what's wrong?"
Mother Lin saw Shi Mu sitting aside, her expression was depressed and a little worried.
Shi Mu raised his head, barely pulled out a smile, and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little uncomfortable." ”
When Mother Lin heard this, she was a little anxious, touched Shi Mu's forehead, and said, "I don't have a fever either, where is it uncomfortable?" ”
"I'm just a little tired and want to go up and get some rest."
"Mumu, you haven't eaten all day today, why don't you eat two bites first to fill your stomach?"
Seeing this, Lin Zi immediately said to Mother Lin: "Mom, don't force her, so many things, Mu Mu is really tired, you just let her go up and rest first." ”
Lin Mu looked at Shi Mu with a worried face and said, "Okay, Mu Mu, you go and rest first." If you're hungry, remember to ask Sister-in-law Lin to cook you food. ”
"Well, thank you, Auntie."
Shi Mu nodded obediently. Turned around and went upstairs.
After returning to the room, Shi Mu curled up in the corner of the bed, and the moonlight outside the window was projected in front of the bed, which looked particularly cold.
Shi Mu's lips were pale, his whole body trembled a little, and his eyes were full of indescribable sadness.
"Mu Mu, this kid, it's really pitiful."
When Lin Mu thought of what she had experienced recently, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Shi Mu.
"Xiao Zi, you have to pay more attention to Mu Mu in the future, don't this kind of thing happen again. We adults can't bear it, let alone a girl. ”
Mother Lin sighed.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of her, and this kind of thing won't happen again."
The next day, accompanied by Lin's mother, Shimu returned to school.
Time will smooth everything out, and slowly, everything will return to normal in life.
Lin Zi thought of the meal promised to Xu Shen before, and immediately took out his mobile phone and called Xu Shen.
"Hey, Xu Shen, are you at school today?"
"What's wrong, sister-in-law."
"Do you have a class this afternoon?"
"I'll see, huh...... Sister-in-law, I don't have classes. ”
"That's great, didn't I say before that I'm going to invite you to dinner when the matter is over, so see you in the small restaurant at noon today?"
"Sister-in-law, it's just a small restaurant, can't you eat something good?"
This Xu Shen's appetite is really not small, Lin Zi couldn't cry or laugh a little.
"Okay, okay, you're the hero, you have the final say, what do you want to eat?"
"Sister-in-law, I know that there is a very good shop, I will send it to you later, then we will see you at noon."
"Okay."
Lin Zi hung up the phone and received a message from Xu Shen.
Lin Zi took a look at the store, Xu Shen really knew how to choose, he just picked an Internet celebrity store, the kind that had to queue for hours.
There's no way, since they've already promised him, so be it. Lin Zi looked at the class schedule and thought that there were no classes all day today, so he looked at the time, and immediately went to take a taxi to line up to get the number, otherwise he was afraid that he would have to eat dinner.
When he arrived at the Internet celebrity store, Lin Zi queued up there alone for a long time, from morning to noon, for four hours, but Lin Zi's legs were numb.
is also a coincidence, as soon as Xu Shen came, Lin Zi was called.
As soon as Lin Zi saw Xu Shen, he immediately said angrily: "You really know how to pick a place, I have been queuing all morning." ”
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law."
Xu Shen showed a pitiful look.
After the two sat down, Xu Shen crackled and ordered a table of dishes.
"You're really welcome, you order so much, can you finish eating?"
"We can't finish eating, hehe, the members of our club haven't eaten and are waiting to be fed."
Xu Shen scratched his head embarrassedly.
"You're the president, why do you still make the members hungry."
"Isn't it like I've been too busy lately? Besides, my living expenses are all used on the club's equipment, think about my little, and now I really have no money to eat. ”
Saying that, Xu Shen pretended to be aggrieved.
Lin Zi looked at Xu Shen's appearance of playing treasure, and was a little funny.
"Come on, come on, stop acting, you can eat more today."
"By the way, sister-in-law, do you have any arrangements for the May Day holiday?"
"Me? I don't know, maybe my parents want me to go home, but I'll talk about it then. ”
"Then do you want to come to our club's activities? It's exciting. ”
Xu Shen raised his eyebrows at Lin Zi.
"Come on, I just want to get some rest."
"Sister-in-law, you don't care about me anymore, I'm so sad."
Xu Shen pretended to wipe away tears.
"Okay, okay, stop acting, oh, eat more."
Lin Zi said and sandwiched a large piece of meat for Xu Shen.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Lin Zi waited for Xu Shen to gobble up, and was ready to go to the front desk to pay.
"Miss, your order has already been bought."
"Huh?"
Lin Zi was a little surprised, "Can you tell me, who paid for it?" ”
"This, we don't know, a person just came over, pointed to your table, and bought the order."
"Well, well, thank you."
Lin Zi returned to his seat and said to Xu Shen, "Do you dare to believe it?" Someone actually bought the order, and I don't know who it is? ”
Xu Shen wiped the corners of his mouth and said nonchalantly, "That's not good." He turned to the waiter and shouted, "Pack, thank you." ”
"But ......"
"Don't be, sister-in-law, it must be some kind person, or your admirer, I think it's good."
After Xu Shen finished taking the packaged dishes, he pushed Lin Zi out of the door.
Looking at the fading backs of the two, a man with a mask and hat walked out from the side, holding the receipt he had just paid.
The man walked out the door, got into the nanny car next to him, took off his mask and hat, and showed his face.
"Brother Rui, where did you go just now, the director is looking for you everywhere."
Assistant Xiaoyu saw the man return to the car and said eagerly.
"It's okay, I've done a little personal thing."
Xu Chenrui looked down at the long ticket in his hand, and couldn't help but shake his head, this stinky boy, he ordered so much, he just wanted to kill himself.
Xu Chenrui thought of receiving a call from Xu Shen in the morning, and felt a little funny in his heart.
"Brother, brother, are you there?"
"What's wrong?"
"Brother, help me, it's the end of the month, and I'm running out of money to eat."
"I remember that you have enough pocket money every month, why, all at once?"
"Brother, you don't know, I'm the president of our club, and the replacement and maintenance of equipment are all my money, so, brother, you can't die without saving."
"So?"
"Brother, as long as I survive tomorrow, I will have money, so, hehe, brother, invite me to dinner."
"But I, I'm going to film tomorrow, so it's better for me to transfer money to you directly."
"No, no!"
Hearing Xu Shen's excited voice on the other side of the phone, Xu Chenrui couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Huh? Can't just send you the money? ”
"Brother, you just invite me to dinner, my location has been booked, you can just come and pay when the time comes."
"Hey, what the hell are you kid doing?"
"Brother, no, no, I still have something to do, I'll hang up first."
"Wait, I won't pay for you."
"Oh, brother, forget it, let me tell you, I'm going to invite my sister-in-law to dinner, but I don't have any money, but how can you make my sister-in-law pay, so, brother, come over and pay for me when the time comes."
"Hey, why do you two want me to pay for dinner?"
"Brother, I'm also helping you and giving you a chance to perform, if you don't want to, I can only tell my sister-in-law next time."
"Alright, alright, send me the location then."
