215. Don't meet again
After Xiao Zhou's confession, the case was put on the agenda, and the trial day was only half a month away.
Tang Jinzi is my defense lawyer, and Xiao Zhou's lawyer is really not Xiao Dong, he is sitting in the hearing seat. From the beginning to the end, Xiao Zhou confessed, and explained how he communicated with the manager of Qitai in my name to ask for a huge amount of money, and how he used my laptop to send emails to blame me one by one.
Due to Xiao Zhou's special status, the trial was suspended for 15 minutes and the judge and the side bench discussed it, during which I saw that Xiao Zhou kept his head hanging and did not look at anyone. At this time, she was described as haggard, her face was pale, and she had lost a lot of weight.
Suddenly, when Xiao Dong got up from the hearing seat and left, her eyes involuntarily raised and followed, but she only saw Xiao Dong's back as he walked out of the courtroom and dimmed. Witnessing this scene, I felt very uncomfortable.
A text message suddenly came from the mobile phone, and I opened it to see that it was sent by Xiao Dong: Come out.
I walked outside the courtroom and saw Xiao Dong standing in a secluded corner, and when I arrived, he turned his eyes to look over, "I said that day that the answer will come back to me after the court trial is over, and now it is basically decided, do you still want to ask?" ”
After a moment of silence, I asked, "Why?" ”
"Because I am unwilling, Zhou Yu abandoned you in front and left you behind, and said that he would not hit the south wall and not look back, how many times have you hit this south wall, even if his head is broken and bleeding, he still has to hit it. I am not willing to stay by your side for so many years, and in the end it is in vain, since it is useless for me to get close to you again and again, then I will change the way, even if it is to force you to come to me. Here's the answer. ”
So, the cause of all this, is still me?
"Are you sure that in the end, this case will not be resolved? Still is...... You thought about pushing Xiao Zhou out early in the morning? ”
Xiao Dong's eyes sank, and he said lightly: "You said this, but not me." ”
I was shocked and looked at him in disbelief, "Xiao Zhou, she is like this to you, aren't you a little moved?" ”
Xiao Dong couldn't find any emotion on his face, only indifference.
How can a person be so ruthless, and this person is still Xiao Dong, whom I have known for eight years!
"Jia Ru, let's not meet again in the future." These were the last words that Xiao Dong left for me before turning to leave.
At this point, Xiao Dong and I are really strangers.
I didn't listen to the results of Xiao Zhou's trial, and left the courthouse directly, and I was sitting on a park bench when Tang Jin called. Listening to his account of the results, his heart did not fluctuate at all, and he asked, "Why don't you bring those doubts to court?" ”
Seeing that I was silent, he said again: "If you hadn't greeted me in advance, I dare to assure you that I would definitely be able to extract more evidence from Zhou Wen's mouth." Her will is already very weak, and it is not difficult to break through the bottom line in her heart. ”
"Tang Jin, you also want to compete with Xiao Dong?"
He paused before he said, "Xiao Dong's achievements in City A are indeed impressive, but I am long past the age of proving my ability to others. It's just curious why you choose to do it even though you know the truth. ”
I looked into the distance and said slowly, "I used to think that the truth was very important, it was the evidence of the facts. But in many cases, the so-called truth is just a cloak of reality. Tang Jin, since Xiao Dong can stand in this position, even if you take words out of Zhou Wen's mouth, it is useless, he has already stayed out of the matter. ”
Tang Jin chuckled, "It turns out that you have seen the situation clearly, and I thought you were missing the old feelings." ”
"It's okay, this time it seems that you are helping me fight this lawsuit, but it is actually a confrontation between me and Xiao Dong, he didn't lose, and I didn't win." A person, even if he can do it well for emotions, then the weakness that is revealed to you is not a real weakness, so I am no longer Xiao Dong's weakness.
Tang Jin: "I'm looking forward to your next confrontation with him." ”
I smiled and put my phone down.
Got up from the bench and patted the dust on his buttocks, this side of the matter is over, and it is time to find someone to settle the score.
I took a taxi and reported the address, and arrived at my destination in ten minutes. Looking up at the advertisements scrolling on the large screen of the shopping mall, the promotion information of Bashan Book City occupied at least three minutes long, and it seems that the shopping mall has also smelled a new commercial atmosphere, so it is willing to invest in the promotion of the book city. It can be said that this book city has driven the economic chain of the entire mall to operate.
I took the elevator up to the tenth floor, and I was greeted by the smell of books, and the rows of bookshelves did not even let go of the location of the elevator entrance.
After looking around the book city, he pulled a member of the "think tank" and asked, "What about your boss?" ”
"Boss, I didn't come to work today."
Frowning, I went up to the pavilion again to look around, and made sure that the person was not here before leaving the book city. I took a taxi to Bashan Night Rain again, but the receptionist also said that the boss had not come today.
The mobile phone in his pocket rang suddenly, it was a call from my mother, and as soon as I connected it, I heard my mother ask: "Xiaoru, did you take the rice grains?" My heart sank, "I didn't go to kindergarten, you didn't receive rice grains?" ”
"When I went to kindergarten, I said I had already been picked up."
I hung up the phone and sprinted, usually calm, but once it was about rice grains, I panicked. When I rushed to the kindergarten in one breath, my mother was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and when she saw me coming, she cried and said: "Xiaoru, the rice grain was really picked up, the teacher said it was a man, will it be ......?"
At this time, he had no intention of comforting the mother, patted her on the shoulder and walked over, and asked the teacher, "Why did you hand the child over to a stranger to take away?" The teacher said with a white face and panic: "At that time, the parents were crowded at the door after class, and I delivered the children to the parents one by one. ”
My heart was shocked, and Mi Li called Dad?
The figure flashed in front of him, and it was the old mother who ran over, dragged the teacher and asked urgently: "Is that man tall and thin, very handsome, and with ...... hair Hair is also short? ”
The teacher nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, wearing a navy blue suit." ”
My mother turned to look at me, her eyes suspicious.
I turned my head and left, the hand holding the mobile phone couldn't help but tremble, it was a fire burning in my heart, and I was so angry that when I answered the phone, I roared incoherently: "Zhou Yu, where did you bastard take the rice grains?" ”
I only heard Mi Li's voice on the mobile phone: "Mom, I'm on Dad's side." ”
"Who's your dad?" I wanted to grit my teeth, but what I said was that Mi Li could only suppress the volume. Mi Li didn't know that I was angry at the moment, and still answered me innocently: "It's Uncle Zhou, my uncle told me a few days ago that he was my father." ”
I took a deep breath and tried to keep my tone relaxed: "Then Mi Li told Mom, where are you now?" ”
"In a place where there are a lot of people."
"Uncle Zhou is not by your side? You give him your phone and let mom talk to him. ”
Mi Li answered, and heard his voice coming: "Dad, Mom said I want to talk to you." ”
Unexpectedly, the hateful voice said, "Tell your mother, Dad is busy now and has no time to answer the phone." ”
"But you're idle." Rice grains are honestly charged.
I couldn't help but raise my voice anymore and shouted: "Zhou Yu, you answer the phone for me." "I believe that my voice is enough to reach his ears through the phone, but I was greeted by a phone call!
He hung up!
When I dialed the phone number again, but when I heard the shutdown voice, I wanted to slam the phone on the ground, but the monstrous anger was nowhere to vent. The old mother caught up and asked uncertainly: "Xiaoru, was he taken away?" Hasn't he forgotten the past? Why does Mi Li call his father? ”
"Mom, you go back first, don't worry, I will definitely find the rice grains back."
Mom didn't move, she reached over and grabbed my arm, "Xiaoru, you've been shaking." ”
Yes, my teeth chattered even when I spoke, and my whole body trembled uncontrollably. I don't know if it's a little more angry or more panicked, I wiped my face and shook my head, "I'm fine." ”
After calming my mother and leaving in the car, I immediately took a taxi to the book city.
It's not that I'm calm enough, but judging from the voice of a child in the voice that came from Mi Li's side just now, they should be here.
I went straight to the pavilion in the air, and the receptionist at the door greeted me warmly when he saw me, and I changed my shoes and went straight to the door. After walking around the scene outside the classroom, I finally saw a grain of rice in a pottery room.
Mi Li rolled up his sleeves, his little hands were full of mud, and he was extremely focused on learning to make teacups with the teacher.
Speaking of which, the idea here came from me, but so far I haven't brought rice grains to play, and it was actually the first time that Zhou Yu brought me to play. But he was nowhere to be seen outside the classroom, and I saw that there was still half an hour left before I left the class.
I didn't ask the staff, and I broke into the office without knocking on the door.
But before I knew it, a room full of people sat around the long table, and all eyes were on me, and my mind flashed when the breeze swept by the farthest away.
"Let's adjourn the meeting first." After a deep voice spilled out of his mouth, everyone in the room got up one after another and went out the door, and soon there were only me and him in the office.
