The next day, Wei Lai came to the court again, and seemed to have listened to Xiao Dong's advice and brought a lawyer with him.

I wasn't in charge of the case, but I met Wei Lai in the hallway. She looked at me in astonishment, as if she didn't know I was working in the courthouse, and bowed her head in a panic to avoid my gaze.

I tugged at the corners of my mouth and walked into the office.

However, the progress of the work was slow after that, until Lingling came back and I looked up.

Without me to speak, Lingling took the initiative to come over and tell me: "Lawyer Jia, let me tell you, the woman in the divorce case came today, and I received her." Her conversation and temperament are very good, and she is also beautiful, and I don't know what the man thinks in his heart, can he still have such a wife. ”

Lingling was originally on the woman's side, and she watched too much romance on weekdays. I ignored her words and asked directly: "What claim did the woman make when she came to our court?" ”

"It's not about fighting for custody of the child, as the mother of the child, it is normal for people not to want to be separated from their son. And from the perspective of family affection and morality, children cannot lack maternal love. ”

"So easy? Didn't make any other claims? ”

Lingling thought for a while, shook her head and said, "No, the purpose of her coming here is very pure, that is, she wants custody of the child, and proposes that the man must pay alimony for the child before he reaches adulthood." ”

I had a meal on my hand, and it turned out that this was the key.

After Wu Mi's side put forward harsh conditions, did she plan to retreat and focus on alimony?

To put it bluntly, it's actually for money.

Xiao Dong was not in the court today, and I rushed to a report when I got off work, and I was the last one when I left the court. As soon as I walked into the parking lot, I heard a soft call from behind me: "Jia Ru." ”

My heart tightened, and I slowly turned around.

Suddenly, I felt that Xiao Dong had miscalculated, since this case was handed over to our court for public trial, no matter how much he tried to prevent it, it would be impossible for him to prevent me from meeting with some people.

For example, Wei Lai.

I didn't even bother to smile at Wei Lai, and my eyes turned cold in an instant. As she had done that day at the cemetery, she still wore a long white dress and a beige wool coat.

"Can we talk?" That's what she asked of me.

What to talk about? Your marriage? It has nothing to do with me.

I directly refused: "There is nothing to talk about." He turned around and was about to walk to the parking lot, but when he heard her catch up, his tone was eager: "Jia Ru, let's talk, we won't delay you for too long." ”

Raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said expressionlessly: "Five minutes, just say it here." ”

Wei Lai: "You're a lawyer for the court, aren't you?" Can you tell me what are the odds of getting custody of the child? ”

"Our court will not give any uncertain answers, the issue of child support itself is negotiated by your husband and wife, and if the negotiation fails, it will be handed over to our court for judgment, which will be considered from many aspects such as economic conditions, living environment, and physical condition."

Wei Lai's face turned pale when he heard me, and then he closed his lips and said nothing.

I don't have a reason to watch her in a daze here, since I don't need to have "five minutes" to leave. The figure in the afterglow was still standing motionless when I started the car, but when I pulled it out, she suddenly ran to the front of the car.

With one foot on the brakes, people were led forward by inertia.

Wei Lai saw that I stopped the car, ran around the front of the car to the window, and after I frowned and rolled down the window, she asked with a worried face: "Jia Ru, can you ask Ah Yu to persuade Wu Mi?" ”

I stared up at her coldly through the car window, and I was embarrassed by me, she avoided her gaze and whispered, "Wu Mi is now determined to take away the child, and only Ah Yu can persuade him." I asked Ah Yu for help, but he ......"

"Five minutes is up," I cut her off, "please get out of the way." ”

Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, and refused to give up: "Can you listen to me and then leave?" In addition to this matter, I actually want to talk to you about Teacher Jia, Jia Ru, let's find a quiet place to sit down. ”

She didn't notice the coldness in my eyes deepening, as she mentioned my father.

I turned my gaze forward, and when I spoke, my tone was cold: "Wei Lai, everyone in this world is qualified, but you are not qualified to call my dad Teacher Jia." You can just stand by the car and see if I can step on the accelerator. ”

Wei Lai stepped back.

I drove away from the courthouse, and my heart was cold.

When I returned to the apartment, it was already dark again, and I felt quite tired in the past two days, and the work pressure was not too great, mainly tired.

I thought that there would be at least a hot meal waiting for me when I returned home, but when I entered the door, it was dark and deserted, and it was obvious that Zhou Yu had not come back yet. After turning on the light, I flipped out my phone, and there were no missed calls or texts.

After hesitating, the dial passed, and it rang more than a dozen times before it was picked up, and when Zhou Yu's voice penetrated, it was obvious that Zhou was coaxing: "Hey? Jia Xiaoru? I'm going to come back later tonight, there's something going on here, don't wait for me. ”

It's for Wu Mi again!

I was already angry in my heart, but when I heard the noise from the mobile phone, and Zhou Yu's behavior of not saying hello, I suddenly became annoyed: "What's the matter with Wu Mi?" Drinking and drinking crazy? Do you accompany the drinker or do you wipe people's butts? ”

But I didn't get a reply from Zhou Yu when I asked him, his mobile phone seemed to have been snatched away, and then I heard Qian Xiaobao's loud voice: "Boss, tonight we will accompany Mizi without getting drunk and homeless, there is no grass at the end of the world, and we can't find a woman." ”

I was so angry that I almost dropped my phone out, what a miasma!

After hanging up the phone, I couldn't get angry, so I sent a message to Zhou Yu: If you don't come back before ten o'clock, you don't have to come back.

But when he turned around and looked at the high-tech door of his room, he couldn't even lock it.

I ate the instant noodles I cooked last night, and I wasn't in the mood to cook tonight, so I still cooked instant noodles. Halfway through the meal, I felt very bored, I sat alone in the empty house, Zhou Yu was busy with business, I may be able to understand, but I was busy with that bad thing.

I poured out the rest of the noodles, and when I came out of the shower, I looked at my phone, but there was still no message or call on it.

Don't do meaningless things, I sent another text message to Zhou Yu before going to bed: I will move back to my apartment tomorrow.

In the middle of the same night, someone quietly returned. I woke up the moment the door was pushed open, and he crept to the bedside and quietly walked away to the bathroom.

When Zhou Yu came back, he was already warm, he quietly lay down beside me, and quietly climbed his palm to my waist, and waited for a while to find that I was not "awake", and then he unscrupulously stuck up and hugged me tightly.

I was used to him hugging me when I slept, and I pretended to be asleep and never opened my eyes.

Maybe it was because his arms were always warm, and the powerful heartbeat was beating regularly, and I still fell asleep.

When I woke up, my side was empty, and when I reached out and touched it, it was cold, and it was obvious that I had walked for a while.

I took my phone and checked it, but there was no reply.

The corners of his mouth pulled up a cool arc, didn't he even care if I would move away?

Pinched his eyebrows, a little headache. The breakdown of a marriage usually begins with the man returning late, and I have to think about what tricks to bring his soul back.

However, just as I was thinking about the trick and pulling the door open and walking out of the bedroom, I suddenly saw a figure swaying in front of me, blinked, thinking it was a hallucination, but saw the man go to the table and put down the plate and then turned around and ordered: "Have you washed up?" If you haven't already, go quickly, wash up and come out for breakfast. I retreated to the bedroom without saying a word, and my mood fluctuated, and I was surprised that he was still at home.

By the time I washed up and walked out, Zhou Yu was already sitting at the table waiting.

Mo Sheng walked over and found that the plate on the table was not the poached egg he thought, but a steak that had been cut into small pieces, and some vegetables and fruits were served next to it. I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows, what kind of crazy brain was pumping early in the morning, how could he fry steak for breakfast?

"Taste it, I'm medium-rare."

As soon as the beef entered my mouth, I tasted red wine, either he drizzled red wine while frying it, or he soaked the steak in red wine. When red wine meets beef, it may be an adventure arranged by God, and the fit is amazing.

I have to say that his steak is fried at a good temperature.

casually asked, "How did you come up with the idea of frying steak in the morning?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "You don't understand this, you have to eat breakfast well, foreigners eat bread, shredded, and bacon in the morning, so that their bodies are strong." If you think it's delicious, I'll fry it for you every day in the future. Or if you like to eat shrimp, let's go back and buy some Argentine big red shrimp back, I'll give you steak and shrimp to eat in different gears, and occasionally poached egg whites. ”

I watched him silent.

Even if he looked calm on his face, he couldn't hide my eyes. In the past, our morning pattern was who got up early and who made breakfast, and if it was too late, they each bought it outside, and did not force both parties to sit down and eat. Now he's planning my daily breakfast recipe for the future, and he's either talking whimsically or—he's panicking.

So the guy who was supposed to be at work in the morning was still sitting at the table talking to me about breakfast, can I understand that he saw the text message I sent him last night, and was afraid that I would be really angry and move things away?

Zhou Yu was uncomfortable with me: "Why don't you eat it?" The steak is not tasty when it is cold. ”

I lowered my head and picked up the rest of the beef and put it in my mouth, it was indeed delicious, and I would talk about it after I had eaten anything else.

When I finished the steak and started to eat the cherry tomatoes, I heard Zhou Yu asking, "Are you going to work in a while?" Is there any other use for the car today? ”

I looked up: "You want to use a car?" ”

"Well, if you don't need a car, I'll drive you to the courthouse, and then I'll pick you up when you get off work."

As soon as I thought about it, I understood his intentions, and I couldn't help laughing, with a slight sarcasm on my face, "Zhou Gongjin, you treat the symptoms like this, but not the root cause." ”

Obviously, those eyes flashed, and then pretended not to understand and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

I looked at him and asked instead of answering, "Is there anything in the office today that you have to solve?" ”

He shook his head, "Recently, the institute has been full of idle things, but if you take a car, you may have to go to the countryside to visit and go to the community to promote safety protection knowledge from a few years ago." ”

"You have to be there for this event?"

"No, you can arrange for someone below to do it."

I nodded: "Okay, you spare half a day, and I will also take half a day off for the unit." ”

"What are you going to do?" Seeing his apprehension, I deliberately said, "Move." ”

As soon as he heard this, his face immediately crossed, and he hurriedly grabbed my hand on the table and spoke: "Jia Xiaoru, don't." I was confused last night, I didn't see the previous text message, and I was already on my way back when I saw the second one. ”

"So when you fried steak early in the morning, you were actually waiting for me, right? Afraid that I will take advantage of you to move away secretly when you go to work, and even find an excuse to drive away in the car? ”

Zhou Yu's expression obviously thought so and calculated so.

I smiled when I saw this: "Don't worry, it was your own hand when I moved here, and if I want to move away, I naturally have to come here." Moreover, even if I don't have a car, I still have this popularity when I call a friend to help. ”

He frowned, "Looking for Xiao Dong?" ”

I coldly replied: "I'm not just Xiao Dong's friend. ”

He looked away and reached for his phone.

After listening to his explanation, I also called Lingling and asked her to ask for half a day off on my behalf. It was deliberately called to Xiao Dong in front of him, so that he would not be careful when he heard it.

I was not in a hurry to put away the empty plate on the table, and I tapped my fingers on the table twice to get to the point: "Say, how long are you going to take care of their affairs?" Divorced? The results of the court trial are out? Or will it be longer to follow-up? ”

Zhou Yu looked embarrassed: "It's not that I want to take care of this matter, but Mizi is my brother, and I can't ignore him." ”

"What about Welai?"

He stiffened, a little awkward: "She did come to me and wanted me to help her persuade Mizi to give her custody of the child." But now the child's parents have a very tough attitude towards this matter, and I only learned yesterday that it was actually his parents who filed the lawsuit. ”

I raised an eyebrow, it turned out that there was this layer behind the incident.

But it's not about what I'm going to talk to him about, I just want to know when it's going to end?

I asked, "When did you become so indecisive?" ”

In the previous school bullying cases and car accident cases, he was not a bully once, and he didn't know how many times he had a hot temper at me. This time, it's just Wu Misa's drunkenness, and he can't handle it.

Zhou Yu didn't admit it: "How can I have it, anyway...... Anyway, no matter who looks for me tonight, I won't go out. ”

I shook my head, "What I just said is a symptom but not a cure." If you don't go out tonight, what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? Then, today is not an excuse to get drunk, but something else, such as who you fight with and get injured, do you go or not? ”

"This ...... I guess I'll have to check it out. Zhou Yu was looking at me.

But there was no joy or anger on my face at this time, and he had no choice but to ask in a low voice: "Is it okay to make a phone call to find out the situation?" ”

"Zhou Gongjin, you don't need to put your posture so low."

When someone heard this, he immediately showed grievances: "My daughter-in-law said that she was going to move away, can I not lower my posture?" ”

Knowing that this man is a scoundrel and can take advantage of all the conditions in his favor, I will not be fooled by him, and continue: "Actually, it is a multiple-choice question, brother, friend, wife, which one do you choose?" "I would define Weyl as his friend.

Zhou Yu's eyes widened, and he took it for granted: "Then it goes without saying, of course it's to choose a wife." You are the one who wants to live with me for the rest of my life, and I can't do without you for the sake of others. ”

Although his answer was close to me, I thought it was just an instinctive response. can only say that in his heart, I am the first in the position of the three, but now what I want him to do is a parting, it may hurt, but there will always be an end.

I pulled out the hand he was holding, leaned back into the chair, "Zhou Gongjin, Wei Lai has looked for me." ”

He would have been shocked to know this fact, and sure enough, his originally calm expression suddenly changed, and his eyes stared at me urgently, "What is she looking for you?" You guys...... Noisy? ”

He smiled, "Am I the temperament to quarrel with people at any time?" ”

"But you saw her that day......"

"It was because," I paused for a second, "my father's dwelling would not allow her to intrude. ”

It's about my dad, and I'm going to lose my mind. On weekdays, I'm still a pretty sane person, but of course, in the face of the scoundrel in front of me, my sanity sometimes disappears.

Zhou Yu asked, "When did she look for you?" Where did you find you? It seemed that something was wrong, and he couldn't figure it out and said to himself: "No, she doesn't have your phone number, and she doesn't know my address, where else can she find you?" ”

"The courts." I tossed out two words lightly.

He looked up in horror, "Did she go to the courthouse?" When? ”

"Yesterday. Since Wu Mi will go to the court to file a lawsuit, she, as a client, will naturally find a lawyer to come to the court. She saw me and waited for me to get off work in the courthouse parking lot. ”

"No wonder you were so angry with me last night." His mind was spinning fast, and he immediately got to the point.

I don't deny that the presence of Wei Lai itself has caused fluctuations in my mood.

Zhou Yu asked again: "Did she say anything to you?" ”

"Let me send a message to you and help her persuade Wu Mi to give her custody of the child."

"I told her about this, I can't take care of it, I don't have the time to take care of it, why did I come to you?" The words he blurted out made my heart move, he wasn't actually helping Wei Lai?

Zhou Yu saw that I was silent and asked again: "Did she tell you anything else?" ”

I snorted, "Forgive me for not having so much time to deal with her." ”

Zhou Yu noticed the change in my attitude, got up from the chair and half-squatted down in front of me, and looked at me before speaking: "Jia Xiaoru, she has always wanted to find a chance to explain to you the incident back then, if you don't want to listen to her, then listen to me, okay?" ”

Before I could speak, he forcibly grabbed my hand and continued: "I know that the person you care about the most in your heart is her, after the car accident four years ago, she has become the thorn in your heart, and she can't pull it out, because it is so deep. But if we don't try it once, who knows if we'll be cured? ”

At this time, Zhou Yu's eyes were sincere and his tone was sincere, he didn't say anything about other people's divorces, he wanted to pull out the thorn in my heart.

For a moment I was shaken, and a voice in my heart said, "What about listening?" Right and wrong, black and white, is always a certainty.

Just when I was about to grit my teeth and nod, there was a sudden movement on the door, and the two of us subconsciously turned around at the same time, and saw Zhou Liang walking in with a bag on his back.

He didn't seem to expect that we would be at home, and after a pause, he yelled in a weird way: "What kind of rhythm is this? Propose? Kneeling and begging for mercy? Third, if so, you're too useless. ”

I felt a sense of powerlessness, for Zhou Liang's sudden appearance, and for the decision I had just picked up being interrupted.
