016. Sixteen-year-old Miss Wei Qi

Tan Jing stood between the mother-in-law and Ono Meidai, as if he was protecting the mother-in-law behind him, and stood directly facing Ono Meidai: "Didn't Secretary Ono not decide when to come?" ”

He said it with a smile, and that smile looked at Maida Ono in the eyes of a mockery. She had the intention of not going with Tan Jing, and now it seems that this thought must have been thoroughly understood by Tan Jing, so she deliberately came to give her a dismount.

"Isn't the reporter going to see Master Wei in the afternoon?"

"We met in the morning, and we had lunch together." Tan Jing still looked at her with a smile, and when he saw her obviously displeased expression, his smile deepened, "I came with him to Yiyuan Bridge." ”

Ono Meidai was shocked: "Prince Wei is in the old mansion?" ”

"We had lunch together at the old house." Tan Jing said, leaning sideways and making a gesture to her, "I've finished talking with Miss Seven, if Secretary Ono doesn't want me to be there, then I'll leave." ”

Ono Meidaiwei was ruthless, Wei Jieling was obviously a little stunned of her, and she kept standing and watching from a distance, not daring to speak.

"Let's talk about the reporter staying," Ono said hatefully, "you don't want to leave yourself." ”

As soon as she said this, she immediately secretly screamed that it was not good, that her words were too failed, rude, and decent.

She coughed lightly, wanting to make amends, so she smiled slowly at Tan Jing: "Please stay and listen to the reporter." ”

Tan Jing still responded with a smile, looking submissive. Ono Midai walked in front of him, and felt more and more that he was hateful with a smile, that face was usually smiling, but it was not as hateful as this time before.

The mother-in-law who had guided Ono Meidai earlier had already taken advantage of the time they were talking to clean up her appearance, hid behind Wei Jieling tremblingly, and followed them into the living room.

Wei Jieling's expression was quite calm, and she was able to politely invite the two of them to sit down, and then instructed the girl to bring the original tea and make new tea.

Ono Meidai looked at her quietly, Wei Jieling had a straight back, and only sat next to the stool, describing everyone as a lady. Although she was nervous, her expression was still calm, and her demeanor was polite and courteous, which made Ono Meidai have a great affection for Miss Wei Qi, and her tone was more gentle.

"Miss Seven, let me introduce myself, my name is Midai Ono, and I am the secretary of the Consul General of the Japanese Consulate in Marina, Shun Sukawa."

Wei Jieling nodded: "It's just a matter of housework, I didn't expect to alarm Consul Qichuan, and I bothered Secretary Ono to go on this trip." ”

Ono Meidai bowed slightly, and when she finished speaking, she continued: "Consul Qichuan saw in the newspaper that Miss Seven was going to file a lawsuit, and he was very concerned, so he specially sent me to ask if Miss Seven needed help. ”

Ono Meidai's words are equivalent to understanding and expressing her position to Wei Jieling, and Sukawa will fully support her to win this lawsuit. But the attitude of the consulate made her feel scared, she was still young, but the deep mansion compound that raised her had already told her that the person who gave you a gift for no reason will always take more things from you in another way.

Wei Jieling was unwilling and did not dare to accept the kindness from the Japanese, she coughed lightly, and spoke very slowly, perhaps trying to appear slow and logical, but in Ono Meidai's peace talks, it was more of a soft voice: "In this matter, I don't want to go against my father's will, but I failed to coordinate with several brothers in the family, so I had to resort to the law, hoping to get a fair ruling." ”

"What is the fair verdict that Miss Seven wants?" Oda asked.

"Previously, Mr. Sun, the founding father of the country, founded the Republic of China, and clearly proposed the equality of men and women." Wei Jieling tugged at the corner of her clothes, and peeked at Ono Meidai's face as she spoke, "Since men and women are equal, then I think our sisters are also qualified to inherit our father's inheritance." ”

Ono Meidai then asked: "Of the six inheritances left by Duke Wei, what did Miss Seven get?" ”

"The six cents of the inheritance that my father gave to my brother has removed the dowry he had prepared for our sisters." Wei Jieling smiled, "But if these fathers don't stay, my brother will also give them." My father only knew my brothers too well and knew that he was gone, and the brothers were afraid that they would not want to do this with our sisters, so they arranged it a few years ago when my mother died. ”

Ono Meidai nodded: "The Republic of China does have laws that clearly stipulate that daughters in the family have the same inheritance rights as men, and if the eldest prince of Wei insists on recovering the property used for Yizhuang, you can participate in the equal division of the inheritance." ”

Wei Jieling raised her eyes to look at her: "Since the law has such a provision, then it is enough to make a fair ruling in full accordance with the provisions of the law, please Secretary Ono to tell Consul Qichuan, I am grateful for her kindness, but I don't need any help." ”

Tan Jing listened silently on the side, in fact, he had found the problem from the beginning, Ono Meidai's words were more like hinting to Wei Jieling, if she did what she did, she would definitely win the lawsuit, and she didn't need anyone's assistance at all.

Thinking so, he looked at Midai Ono again.

Ono Meidai was bluntly rejected by Wei Jieling, and she was not annoyed, she smiled very good-naturedly, and said: "If Miss Wei Qi really thanks Consul Qichuan for his kindness, then please thank Consul Qichuan in person." I came this time, just to send an invitation for Consul Qichuan, please Miss Seven to appreciate her face, on the 21st of this month, the consul will send a car to pick you up. ”

Wei Jieling looked at her blankly, suddenly turned her face again, and glanced at Tan Jing, who had been silent.

Ono Meidai subconsciously followed Wei Jieling and turned to look at Tan Jing, she didn't know what Tan Jing said to Wei Jieling, but it was obvious that Wei Jieling trusted him more.

This realization made Ono Meidai feel displeased, so she spoke to Wei Jieling in a more gentle tone: "Does Miss Seven still have any doubts? ”

"I ...... I don't know......" Wei Jieling said hesitantly, "I thought it was just an ordinary lawsuit, I don't know why Consul Qichuan suddenly cared about ......"

"Consul Sukawa had the same experience as you." Ono Meidai said, "Before I came, Consul Sukawa also said that try to reconcile your relationship with Master Wei, because brothers and sisters should be family, not enemies. ”

This sentence surprised Tan Jing, because it really didn't seem like something that Sukawa Shun, who had made a decision to kill, could say.

Wei Jieling was silent for a long time, she took a breath slowly, and smiled at Ono Meidai: "Thank you Consul Qichuan for your kindness, but I don't have to send a car to pick me up, I'll go over by myself." ”

After she said this, she went to look at Tan Jing again, as if this was said by Tan Jing. Seeing this scene, Ono Meidai smiled slowly: "Talking about the importance of reporters in the coastal economic circles, with you paying attention to this case, presumably the court will also be forced by public opinion to handle it impartially." ”

"It is the duty of judges to adjudicate cases impartially, and if judges do not adjudicate cases fairly, then the law is useless." Tan Jing said, "Miss Seven's case is the first female heir lawsuit in the Republic of China, if the court can handle it impartially, it will have a great impact on similar cases in the future, and even the social atmosphere will have an impact." ”

While they were talking, Wei Jieling's gaze was wandering between the two. Ono Meidai noticed that Wei Jieling's gaze when she looked at Tan Jing was a warm gaze with a slight smile, although it was not an admiring lover with a girl's gaze, but it was not much different from admiring a talented friend.

After Tan Jing finished speaking, he smiled at Wei Jieling: "Miss Seventh must fight this lawsuit well." ”

Wei Jieling bowed her head slightly: "That's nature." ”

Ono Meidai coughed: "Family, if it can be resolved peacefully, it is best not to go to court." ”

"I think this court is decided." Before Wei Jieling could speak, Tan Jing took the lead in speaking, "If it can be resolved peacefully, it will not be in court." ”

"Oh, I got to know the reporter again." Ono Meidai smiled at him, the smile was exactly the same as the smile that Tan Jing often wore on his face, if he gave Ono Meidai a mirror now, it would definitely startle her, "Presumably when I was not there, the reporter talked to Miss Seven very happily." ”

"Ah, yes," Tan Jing nodded with a matter-of-fact nod, "and Secretary Ono had the same pleasure chatting with Miss Seven this afternoon...... If I hadn't been there, I'm sure Secretary Ono would have been happier. ”

Obviously, these two people had the same idea when they took over the task from Qichuan Xun: avoid each other and come to meet Wei Jieling by themselves. It's just that Ono Meidai was one move short of chess, and was preempted by the talk.

She didn't want to see Tan Jing just because she didn't like this person, but why didn't Tan Jing want to see her?

Do you not want to see her, or is there something to avoid her?

Ono Meidai's gaze was fixed on Tan Jing's face again, and the latter looked back without showing weakness, with that smile she didn't like.

"If the reporter is wrong, I'm happier when you're here." She spoke again, "After all, Consul Qichuan wants us to come together. ”

As a listener, Wei Jieling's expression immediately changed, and like everyone else in Binhai, she had long admired the name of the competition, knowing that this economic reporter did not belong to any party, so she could maintain her impartial position and report news that people could believe.

But Ono's words seemed to imply, implying that the competition already belonged to them.

Ono Meidai is not a person who will easily lose her words, and Tan Jing is worried that her words are not unintentional, but from the instructions of Sukawa Shun.

Tan Jing's face also changed slightly, but obviously, he had better control over his expression than Wei Jieling, so he just nodded, "Of course Consul Qichuan wants us to come over together, my report on the Japanese side's arbitrage of foreign exchange from the Chongqing authorities has made her very impatient." ”

After he finished speaking, he added another sentence: "Now that my attention is on Miss Wei Qi, I think Consul Qichuan can breathe a sigh of relief." ”

He said it to Wei Jieling, and he wanted to explain his relationship with Sukawa, or rather, he wanted to explain his relationship with the Japanese side.

"It's a pity that I wasn't there when the reporter talked to Miss Seven." Ono said, "The reporter's impression of Consul Sukawa doesn't seem to be very good. ”

"I have a good impression of everybody, and at the same time a bad impression of everybody." Tan Jing flatly denied it, carefully adjusting his facial expressions in an effort to make himself look like the person he described himself, "Where there is preference, there is a position, and news reports cannot have a position, and neither can a journalist." ”
