Chapter Ninety-Seven: Empathy
Ji Ning understands Su Xin's current mood, and if it were her, she would not be able to swallow this breath. She asked Su Xin again: "Does your sister know that you are so close to your brother-in-law now?" ”
Su Xin was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly: "I don't know, I don't want her to know." My sister's personality is too soft, even if she knew that my brother-in-law was cheating, even if my brother-in-law was violent, she never thought about divorce. If I hadn't discovered this problem and persuaded her not to wronged herself, she might still choose to grit her teeth and endure it now. ”
She didn't know what Su Qin was thinking in her heart, there were many good men in the world, why did she hold on to this man? Just because this man saved the two sisters back then?
But what should have been paid off all these years has also been paid off, and the two sisters don't owe him anything at all.
"I was afraid that my sister would be indifferent, so I approached my brother-in-law to get more evidence. But if my sister knew, she would definitely persuade me to let go, so I didn't want her to know. ”
Ji Ning squinted her eyes, after today's conversation, her opinion of the two sisters had changed. Sister Su Qin is not as rational as she seems, and her sister Su Xin actually has a lot of thoughts in her heart.
Therefore, no one should be a face.
Ji Ning snapped his fingers and said neatly: "Okay, I will keep today's matter a secret." Don't worry, I won't let your sister suffer in this case, she will not lose a single point in what she deserves. ”
She wasn't moved by Su Xin, even if Su Xin didn't say this tonight, without this evidence, Ji Ning was still sure that she could win this battle. Because in her eyes, there is no such thing as failure. Getting back the compensation due to the party is her most basic requirement for herself.
After talking about the case, there is still some time. Su Xin asked Ji Ning to stay and chat, put aside each other's identities, and simply say a few words as friends. Su Xin seems to know Ji Ning very well, and even knows what flavor of coffee she drinks. Without waiting for Ji Ning to reply, the coffee had already come up.
Ji Ning, who was already about to get up, raised her eyebrows after seeing the coffee.
"Lawyer Ji can't let me drink three cups of coffee alone, right?" Su Xin looked at Ji Ning lazily. said: "I have already drunk a cup just now, coffee is not boiled water, drinking too much is not good for the body." ”
I have to say that having a bewitching face still has an advantage. For example, now, Ji Ning did not refuse Su Xin. She continued to sit in her seat, smiling, "If you go to become a lawyer, you should be very successful." "It is also a skill to always be able to grasp the weaknesses of the other party and make the other party powerless.
Hearing the word lawyer, Su Xin's eyes flashed with envy, but she quickly restrained herself. She took her coffee and said with a smile: "I am not as good as you, I can choose my own life." The ideal is luxury, and I'm very satisfied to survive in this city. ”
I don't know why, hearing Su Xin's words, Ji Ning actually had a feeling of sympathy. When there was an accident in her family, she also had such thoughts. With huge debts on her body, she has no money, and the salary she just paid for an internship at the office is very small.
In those unbearable nights, Ji Ning would stand on the roof of the building, looking at this city lit up and singing at night, thinking that if she gave up her job and found a career with quick money, would she be able to relieve a lot of pressure?
She admits that this idea is quite normal. Many times the choice is not in their own hands, and for the sake of their livelihood and family, they have to say compromise.
Fortunately, Ji Ning met a nobleman, which gave her today's achievements. But not everyone has nobles, just like the two sisters Su Xin.
Ji Ning didn't say anything, and listened to Su Xin quietly.
Speaking of this, the flamboyance on Su Xin's face was gone. She took a sullen sip of her coffee, as if she were drinking. Although he said the truth in front of Ji Ning, he didn't mean to tell it all.
only told Ji Ning one thing: "Our parents died in a car accident when we were very young, and it was my brother-in-law who took us in, and we have lived together all these years." Later, my brother-in-law proposed to my sister, and my sister agreed. ”
Ji Ning also knew what happened later, Su Qin entered the modeling circle, and as her fame became higher and higher, her relationship with her husband became worse and worse.
"My sister is just brainless, there are so many ways to repay her kindness, but she chose the worst one." Su Xin smiled bitterly, and before she knew it, she had finished drinking the coffee in her cup.
Seeing that she was getting more and more excited, Ji Ning got up and woke her up: "You have said enough today, go back and rest early, and wait for your sister to come back." After a pause, Ji Ning hesitated, but still reminded him more: "Don't forget that the lawsuit between you and Mr. Ye is not over yet, and you have to go to court." ”
"Hehe, I forgot about it." Su Xin stood up slowly, and the expression on her face suddenly became mysterious: "Actually, there is a secret, I ......" Halfway through the words, he held back stiffly, obviously not wanting Ji Ning to know.
Ji Ning was not interested in this secret, and said in a straight voice: "My company still has something, you can go back first." Afraid that something would happen to Su Xin, she asked again, "Do you want me to call a car for you?" ”
Su Xin didn't refuse, Ji Ning went out and called a taxi, and after Su Xin reported the address, Ji Ning helped her pay the fare and leave with confidence.
Outside without air conditioning, the temperature is very high, and the hot sun hangs in the sky, and the heat on your body is dissipated to the earth. Ji Ning was wearing high heels, and he could still feel the heat coming out of the floor. After a while, fine beads of sweat began to ooze from her forehead.
Ji Ning wiped his sweat and walked in the direction of the company. As he walked, he suddenly remembered that Ji Meng didn't seem to have called him for a while. According to Ji Meng's usual habits, she basically calls three times a month, and each time she comes to ask for money.
Now it has been nearly half a month since Ji Meng called last time. Could it be that Ji Meng has recently worked part-time and is not short of money to spend? Or is it because she is going to prepare for an internship next semester, so the school is busy, and she has no time to call?
Ji Ning thought suspiciously, no matter what, she felt that she still had to call Ji Meng in person, even if there was nothing to do, she should care about a few words.
However, as soon as she took out her mobile phone, she hadn't even unlocked the screen yet, and Ye Shaochen's call came. Ji Ning glanced at the hot sun, and decisively walked to a cool place to rest, and then picked up Ye Shaochen's phone.
Ask him, "What's wrong?" I'm out there now. She thought that Ye Shaochen must have called her when he saw that she was not in the office.
The background sound on the phone was very quiet, Ye Shaochen was also silent for a while, and Ji Ning thought that no one answered. After a while, I heard Ye Shaochen say, "Go see Su Qin?" ”
"It's not." Ji Ning said. She tilted her head and tucked her phone between her shoulders, freed up her hands to grab tissues from her bag, and then carefully wiped the sweat from her forehead and neck. Only then did he say: "But it's about the same, Su Qin is out of town now, and I met her sister Su Xin." ”
Ye Shaochen's hand paused, and there was a little surprise in his voice: "Su Xin? Ji Ning heard that something was wrong with Ye Shaochen's words, and only then did he remember that there was something between Su Xin and Ye Shaochen, no wonder he was surprised. But before contacting Su Xin, didn't Ye Shaochen inquire about her family members first?
When she saw Su Xin, Ji Ning thought at first that Su Qin's case was deliberately found by Ye Shaochen, but now it seems that it is not, and Ye Shaochen does not know about it.
Since Ye Shaochen didn't say it, Ji Ning didn't pretend not to know. Answered truthfully: "Well, gave me some information that would be helpful to the case, and then chatted for a while, and is now on my way back." ”
Ye Shaochen asked, "What did you talk about?" His focus is on the back, and he doesn't seem to be paying attention to the circumstances of the case.
"It's nothing, it's just some things about her and her sister, and there are some inexplicable things that I don't understand, I don't care. What's wrong? You seem to be interested in this? Ji Ning asked Ye Shaochen rhetorically, and the meaning of exploration in his words was very obvious.
This asked Ye Shaochen, and he realized that he had accidentally said too much. Afraid that if he continued to talk about it, he would expose his cooperation with Su Xin, so Ye Shaochen sorted out his thoughts and resumed his calm voice.
replied slowly: "It's nothing, Xiao Li said that you have been out for a long time, and I am curious about what content can keep you." His tone was naturally excessive, and he couldn't hear anything abrupt. Then he said, "Is it far from coming back?" Do you want me to pick you up? "We've managed to turn the tide of things.
"No, you don't." Ji Ning refused without thinking about it, and fanned the wind with the tissue in his hand: "I'm on the street opposite the company, and I can get there in five minutes." She regretted in her heart why she didn't bring an umbrella when she came out, so that she wouldn't be so hot.
Although the wind from the tissue fan was weak, it finally eased up a little. She continued to walk forward against the sun: "Why don't you prepare a glass of water for me, I guess I'll be very thirsty when I go back." The water on her body had evaporated, and she was now eager to jump into the pool.
Ye Shaochen let out a "hmm" and said, "I'll talk about it when you come back." ”
Ji Ning said yes, and then the pace under his feet subconsciously accelerated a lot.
When crossing the street, a handsome young man walked over without saying a word, and the black umbrella in his hand covered the sunlight above Ji Ning's head, and Ji Ning suddenly felt that the whole person was fine. She raised her head and met the young man's bright smile, especially his white teeth, which was impressive.
"Thank you." Ji Ning smiled and said gratefully.
As soon as Ji Ning spoke, the young man suddenly became shy, his face flushed, and he didn't know where to put his hands. Finally, he put it on the back of his head, scratched it twice, and stammered, "No...... You're welcome, it's as it should be to serve beautiful women! ”
