Zhu Shan doglegs.

Maybe it's called knowing the current affairs.

She's afraid of something unpleasant to talk about at night!

Ling Xiao snapped his fingers calmly: "Let's go." ”

Zhu Shan followed in small steps: "What about Li Shang?" ”

"Back to the law firm."

"Why are we going?"

"Dinner."

"So early?"

Ling Xiao stopped, glanced back at her, and looked casual: "It's not early, there is something to do in the evening!" ”

Something?

Zhu Shan's eyes lit up, and she was extremely considerate: "If you have something to do, go and get busy, I can do it myself." ”

Ling Xiao leaned over slightly, the corners of his mouth rose, and his tone was extremely slow: "Blame me for not making it clear, the events of the night have something to do with you." ”

His arrogance made Zhu Shan want to punch him.

But she didn't dare.

Zhu Shan lowered her eyes and subconsciously frowned and bit her lip, which was a frequent action when she thought.

She was wondering what reason she could get out.

The next second, a slight pain in her right cheek interrupted her thoughts.

Ling Xiao pinched her plump cheeks lightly and sighed, "What are you thinking about me here?" ”

The meaning of those words reached Zhu Shan's ears and was equivalent to: Be honest!

Zhu Shan huffed and compromised: "Got it." ”

Ling Xiao was satisfied, turned around and walked forward.

Yuhe in early spring, the sky was dark at more than four o'clock in the afternoon, but Zhu Shan's mind was not calm.

She thought that seeing Ling Xiao again would be very, very angry, or very, very embarrassed.

Actually, neither.

Maybe he showed up today to help himself.

Or maybe it's something else.

At the moment when he pinched her face just now, Zhu Shan felt that she didn't hate him as she imagined.

When she arrived at the parking lot, Zhu Shan saw the beautiful prosecutor Shu in the trial from a distance.

She changed into a hip-wrapping knitted dress, with a long coat on the outside and a belt at the waist to outline the delicate waist.

She stood in front of a white car, as if waiting for someone.

The direction of the gaze, Zhu Shan was sure, was waiting for Ling Xiao.

Before Zhu Shan could figure out the situation, Ling Xiao grabbed her arm and walked forward.

He opened the passenger door of the white car, pushed Zhu Shan in, and then closed it in response.

The action was so fast that Zhu Shan didn't have time to resist.

Before Zhu Shan closed the car door, she only faintly heard a sentence: "Ling Xiao, have you been to see the victim?" ”

Observing through the car window, Zhu Shan felt that the two were not chatting very well.

She also tried to roll down the window and gossip, but unfortunately she couldn't open it.

After a while, Shu Qiwen left.

The two obviously parted unhappily.

After Ling Xiao got into the car, as if nothing had happened, he asked Zhu Shan while hitting the steering wheel, "What do you want to eat?" ”

"Whatever!" Zhu Shan's eyes rolled, "You are very familiar with Prosecutor Shu?" ”

"College classmates!"

"Oh~ In the past, I was affectionate and friendly, but now I am facing the court! Idol dramas are standard. ”

Regarding Zhu Shan's joke, the corners of Ling Xiao's mouth rose and he did not refute it in time.

The exit from the courthouse's parking lot is curved like a serpentine, and it takes a while to drive out.

In this way, Ling Xiao seemed to take the time to glance at Zhu Shan.

Zhu Shan saw it and immediately became vigilant: "What are you doing?" ”

"As I said, neither of us should cause any trouble to each other during the marriage."

Zhu Shan's heart jumped heavily, thinking of what happened in the morning.

Is this the beginning of reckoning?

She licked her lips and explained, "I was wronged for that incident today!" It was an accident! I didn't mean to cause you trouble. ”

Ling Xiao glanced at Zhu Shan: "Article 258 of the Criminal Law, the crime of bigamy, a person who has a spouse and marries him, or marries another person knowing that he has a spouse, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than two years or criminal detention." ”

“？”

"Getting along with others in the name of husband and wife is also counted."

“？”

"If you have the idea of developing a relationship with someone else, you are not far from the fact of the crime."

Zhu Shan didn't know why: "So? ”

"So don't worry." Ling Xiao's tone was calm, "I won't know the law and break the law." ”

Zhu Shan thought for a few seconds before she reacted: "I didn't say that you and Prosecutor Shu would affect me, and I won't sue you for bigamy, anyway, ...... next year."

Suddenly, the phone rang, interrupting Zhu Shan.

Ling Xiao put on a Bluetooth headset and turned it on.

His tone was confident: "Mr. Ren rest assured, today's trial is going well, and the third trial will definitely let Ling Gongzi be released in court." ”

Mr. Ren?

Ling Gongzi?

Today's defendant is also surnamed Ren Lai.

This means that the rape charge will not be successful.

Zhu Shan suddenly remembered the words of Prosecutor Shu.

- Ling Xiao, have you ever been to see the victim?

Zhu Shan still remembers that during the trial, Prosecutor Shu said that the victim was in poor condition and was still hospitalized.

After Ling Xiao hung up the phone, Zhu Shan spoke: "Ling Xiao, have you ever been to see the victim?" ”

Ling Xiao obviously didn't expect Zhu Shan to ask like this, he stepped on the brakes at the red light, took off the Bluetooth headset with a blank face, and threw it casually: "Is it important?" ”

Does it matter?

Zhu Shan frowned: "Of course it's important!" ”

"What if you've seen it? What if you haven't seen it? ”

Before Zhu Shan could respond, Ling Xiao had already spoken: "Do you want me to sympathize with her?" ”

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that.

But it's a bit cold-blooded.

"Justice is about evidence." Ling Xiao looked at Zhu Shan's small face and said in a calm tone, "I am a lawyer, and my duty is to stand firmly on the client's side and defend him. ”

The red light turns green and the vehicle sets off again.

Zhu Shan thought for a while, then turned her head to look at Ling Xiao.

I can't say what's wrong, but Zhu Shan just feels awkward.

The car stopped at the mall, and Zhu Shan followed Ling Xiao to a hot pot restaurant.

The hot pot restaurant is decorated in Chinese style, and it is quite eye-catching in the open-air plaza of the mall.

Seeing the signboard of the hot pot restaurant, Zhu Shan was uncontrollably excited and grabbed Ling Xiao's arm: "Has 'Zhengyuan Hot Pot' moved here?" I was going to eat the next day after I returned to China, and when I went to the address of the original store, it was all demolished. ”

Ling Xiao's gaze slid over Zhu Shan's little hand and let out a faint "um".

After taking a seat, Zhu Shan ignored the waiter's obstruction and ordered the bottom of the spicy pot.

She ticked the menu and said arrogantly: "Medium spicy? I don't know what 'medium spicy' is. ”

Zhu Shan paused and raised her eyes to look at Ling Xiao: "Can I ask for a boiled beer?" ”

Without waiting for Ling Xiao to speak, Zhu Shan emphasized: "I am twenty-two years old. ”

Her expression was serious, and her eyes were full of sincerity, which made Ling Xiao laugh.

Immediately, he raised his chin and said in a tone that was not beaten: "You are so afraid of me? ”

"Have you forgotten that all the things that Ling Yue and I were punished when we were children were because of you!"

Ling Xiao nodded his head, as if he was recalling something.

Then, he muttered in a tone, "Copying homework? Skipping class over the wall? Minors in Internet cafes? Cram School ......"

Zhu Shan's teeth were clenched, and she hurriedly waved her hand to stop it: "Don't say it." ”

It was a time of repression that I don't want to look back on.

"Drink."

Ling Xiao was leisurely two words, Zhu Shan reacted, and then smiled and picked up a pencil and ticked "boiled beer" on the menu.

Boiling beer is to boil beer with red dates, wolfberries, white fungus, mash, etc., and the astringency of the wine is dissipated, and rock sugar is added, just like a drink.

Zhu Shan quickly settled a pot of boiled beer because the bottom of the pot was too spicy.

The previous disdain for "medium spicy" is now particularly comical.

She had forgotten that she hadn't been back in years, and she hadn't been so spicy for a long time.

Ling Xiao saw her like this, got up and went to the counter to get the old yogurt.

Zhu Shan was so hot that she took off Ling Xiao's coat, fixed her eyes on the lawyer's badge for two seconds, and then looked up to search for Ling Xiao's figure.

In the lively hot pot restaurant, the heat lingered, and he stood in front of the freezer, bending down to carefully select drinks.

Ling Xiao took the yogurt, came back and sat down, and raised his eyes to meet Zhu Shan's gaze.

Zhu Shan's eyes were very heavy, she supported her cheek with one hand, and her little face was a little deformed: "Ling Xiao, you are really powerful today, if you were the one who defended my father back then, wouldn't you be ......?"

Ling Xiao grabbed the yogurt, put the straw to her lips, interrupted her, and was full of arrogance: "Yes." ”

Zhu Shan was stunned for two seconds, took the yogurt and took a sip, before saying, "You are so confident." ”

"Or else?"

Zhu Shan rolled her eyes again at his arrogance.

Ling Xiao took a sip of tea, and his tone was unhurried: "I'll go to your place to carry my luggage later, and then go home." ”

？？？

Sudden topic.

Zhu Shan's big eyes flickered twice, her little face gradually distorted, and she spit out the straw: "Have you bought a house?" It can't be your house, right? ”

Ling Xiao leaned back in the chair, looking like a compassionate scoundrel: "After marriage, half of your property." ”

How dare Zhu Shan reverie his assets.

She put down the yogurt heavily, and said without being salty or light: "We will divorce next year." ”

Ling Xiao pursed his thin lips and nodded, "Hmm".

"How could I possibly stay with you!"

Ling Xiao didn't refute, the corners of his mouth were torn apart, and his tone was slow: "Then you go back and come back next year." ”

Of course, Zhu Shan knew that this return meant returning to SJP, but she finally returned to China.

And it was not easy to get into the TV station.

Zhu Shan's tone was unhappy: "Did I come back to hinder you with anything?" ”

"As far as you don't have a long mind, can I rest assured that today's incident is concerned?" Ling Xiao's eyes turned around her, his eyes were full of banter, "She doesn't seem to be very tall." ”

"A girl is 1.65 meters and not short."

"Then I'm going to have to compliment you on being awesome?"

Zhu Shan: "......"

Ling Xiao touched his chin and looked at it: "Really one meter six five?" Lied, right? ”

“！！！” Zhu Shan pursed her lips, a little weak-hearted, and unconsciously raised her voice, "There must be shoes on!" ”

Ling Xiao snorted lightly.

As soon as Zhu Shan opened her mouth, she reacted that the topic had gone astray.

She pulled back the topic and said strongly: "I'm not going back!" ”

The two looked at each other, and Zhu Shan blinked within two seconds, and her tone was lowered by two points: "I don't want to go back, I just want to stay in Yuhe." ”

Ling Xiao didn't speak immediately.

His well-proportioned fingers tapped on the tabletop.

After a few seconds, he shook his hand and said in a tough tone: "Zhu Shanshan, two choices, first, return to SJP immediately and come back next year; Second, under my nose, I practiced honestly and didn't think about anything. ”

Zhu Shan was a little timid because he called himself by his surname, and because of his words, he felt a long-lost sour nose, and looked at Ling Xiao for several seconds before lowering his head.

She has known Ling Xiao since she was born.

The Zhu family and the Ling family are neighbors, and Ling's father and Ling's mother are geologists, and they often travel on business for months or even a year.

So Ling Xiao and Ling Yue have been eating at Zhu Shan's house.

Zhu Shan and Ling Yue were born in the same year, and they have the same smell and have a very good relationship.

And Ling Xiao is four years older than the two of them.

Ling Xiao has good grades, is exquisite, and has an age advantage, so he has suppressed Zhu Shan and Ling Yue since he was a child.

So Zhu Shan and he have also been enemies since childhood.

Although the relationship has never been intimate, he doesn't think he hates him to the point of forcing himself out of the country.

But that's just the way it is.

Whether it was six years ago or now, he forced himself to go abroad.

Zhu Shan remembered six years ago.

She was sixteen years old at the time, a freshman in high school, and Ling Xiao was already a sophomore.

She had been living in the Ling family for two years after losing her parents, and suddenly one day, her aunt, whom she had never met, came to her and said that she wanted to adopt her and take her back to SJP.

Naturally, she didn't want to go to SJP.

She put her hope on Ling's father and Ling's mother, hoping that they could adopt her.

In fact, in the two years in the Ling family, except for the lack of compliant adoption procedures, Zhu Shan was no different from adoption in their family.

She already treats them as relatives.

I thought it was a logical and undifficult thing to do.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was Ling Xiao who cut off her only life-saving straw.

After Ling Xiao learned the news that Ling's father and Ling's mother were willing to adopt Zhu Shan, she took a late flight from the city where the university was located to rush back to Yuhe overnight, and strongly expressed that she did not agree with adopting Zhu Shan.

Zhu Shan clearly remembers that night, it was pouring rain.

Ling's mother slapped Ling Xiao hard, it was the first time Zhu Shan saw Ling Xiao being beaten.

Ling Xiao was slapped to the ground, and the lightning and thunder outside the window made his face cold.

His eyes drooped, and there was still rain in his hair, dripping down his jaw: "Disapproval is disapproval." ”

Ling Xiao's words were exchanged for Ling's mother's beating, but he was still stubborn and stubborn.

Zhu Shan didn't even cry, the April day felt cold, she stood aside in a daze and watched Ling Xiao being beaten, watching Ling Dad and Ling Yue persuade the two mothers and sons.

After a while, Zhu Shan came back to her senses and went up to hold Ling's mother: "Auntie, don't fight, I'll go with my aunt." ”

With tears on her face, Ling's mother hugged Zhu Shan: "Shanshan, I cut off relations with him, don't worry, I will go to the relevant department tomorrow to go through the procedures for adopting you." ”

"Mom." Ling Xiao raised her head and said in a deep tone, "She has relatives, and you have two sons, do you think you are so good at going through the adoption procedures?" ”

Ling's mother was so angry that her hands trembled, and she went up and patted Ling Xiao's shoulder and back vigorously: "You have studied law, you are amazing!" ”

Zhu Shan went up to pull away Mother Ling.

She was originally an outsider, and she had been in the Ling family for two years, so what qualifications did she have to let people drive away her biological son and adopt herself?
