Chapter 31: I Am a Man

Zhu Shan was in a bit of a trance when she left.

Obviously, two hours ago, she was still immersed in the joy of saving Wang Huili, but at this moment, she was pulled into the deep sea by an invisible hand.

Zhu Shan sat by the wall of the old teahouse, watching the flow of people passing by.

Half an hour later, she took out her mobile phone, opened WeChat, and typed quickly.

Zhu Shan: [Brother Ling Xiao, are you busy? 】

Within two minutes, the phone rang.

Ling Xiao: [Busy.] 】

The word 'busy' can't stop Zhu Shan.

Zhu Shan: [Then I'll come to you, okay?] 】

Ling Xiao: [Yusen Building, 42nd floor, Zero Law Firm. 】

Zhu Shan is also the first time to come to Lingxiao's office.

Yusen Building is a very new office building, with an exterior wall that resembles a shampoo bottle and is covered in blue glass.

Yuwa TV is a historic building, with a total of 16 floors.

Compared with Yusen Building, the speed of the elevator can be described as snail speed.

Zhu Shan took the elevator to the 42nd floor here, and it was only a blink of an eye.

After getting out of the elevator, several large black characters in block letters of "Zero Law Firm" hit the front, without too many bells and whistles, as if there was no money to do art work.

To the right of Zhu Shan is a wall, and to the left is a glass gate.

Is this a whole floor?

Zhu Shan silently withdrew the idea of having no money to be an artist, and replaced it with words such as solemn, clean, and low-key.

Zhu Shan walked over, the glass door did not open automatically, and it seemed that permission was required to enter.

She fumbled around the door for a while and found the doorbell.

After a while, a young lady in a formal pencil dress came to open the door.

Zhu Shan said politely: "Hello, I'm here to find Ling Xiao." ”

"Do you have an appointment?"

Still need to make an appointment?

Zhu Shan was a little stunned, and then shook her head.

"I'm sorry, I'll arrange for you to consult with another lawyer, do you think it's okay?"

Zhu Shan waved her small hand on her chest and explained, "I'm not here to consult the case, I'm just here to find him." ”

The young lady's face did not change, and her eyes shook on Zhu Shan: "Are you Miss Zhu Shanshan?" ”

Zhu Shan nodded.

"Hello, my name is Doreen." She half-turned around and made a 'please' gesture inside, "Ling Lu has said hello, you can go in directly." ”

The working environment of Ling Xiao's office, that is with the TV station. Completely different picture.

Zhu Shan's column group is a very ordinary row of desks, with a plastic partition in the middle, and the position of one person is only about one meter two.

Because the colleagues around me often have to go out to shoot materials, there are no requirements for dress, how comfortable everyone is.

Including the anchor, he usually wears a big T-shirt in the office, and only changes into a formal shirt when he is recording.

So a lot of times when you look at a glamorous anchor on TV, in fact, the following may be a pair of athletic shorts that you can't imagine.

In Lingxiao's law firm, everyone has an independent desk, and the desktop is very large, although it is full of all kinds of documents and papers.

The staff are all dressed in formal attire, as if they were filming a modern movie.

In this environment, Zhu Shan felt that she had to take her steps lightly.

Doreen takes Zhu Shan to a small room with snacks and tea.

She stood at the door, still with the standard 'please': "Miss Zhu Shanshan, Ling Lu has something to do now, please wait here for a while." ”

"Okay."

When the door closed and the space was completely quiet, Zhu Shan let out a long breath, then pulled out a chair and sat down.

This law firm really gives people a tense feeling from the inside out, from the environment to the staff.

Zhu Shan looked around, this room was only a few square meters, and it looked like a customer waiting room.

In the center, a round table in the color of wood is placed on a five-tiered gold carved pastry plate, each layer is a different color pastry, small and delicate.

There is a transparent teapot next to it, and the tea inside is pink and somewhat foggy, with some flowers floating in the center.

Zhu Shan poured herself tea and ate snacks leisurely.

She suddenly remembered that Wu Jing had said that Ling Xiao only accepted lawsuits from the rich.

No wonder the law firm is so imposing.

Zhu Shan shook her head, and couldn't help but let out a disgusted sound of "tsk" in her mouth.

Suddenly, there was a gossip in the next room, starting with the most common "Have you heard?"

Zhu Shan couldn't help but sigh, it turned out that lawyers also talked about gossip and right and wrong.

She didn't want to hear it, but the word "Ling Lu" made her heart prick up her ears.

A female voice: "Aunt Deng in the cleaning department told me that Ling Lu was married in secret, and his wife cheated. ”

B Female Voice: "Isn't it?" How does Aunt Deng know? ”

A female voice: "He has been cleaning in the company for several years, more or less than we know." ”

B female voice: "Not very credible! Not to mention that he has never seen Ling Lu's wife, he has never even heard of it, and he doesn't wear a wedding ring. ”

A female voice: "Actually, I don't believe it, hasn't Ling Lu been living in the office for the past few years?" How many times a month can I go home? Like a family man? ”

There was silence for two seconds, and another female voice burst out.

C female voice: "You also said that he has lived in the office in recent years, right?" If you don't go home, you must have a bad relationship between husband and wife, and in the past few months, how many times have you seen him live in the office? Sometimes we leave work earlier than us, and you know why? ”

Female voice A and female voice B said in unison: "Why? ”

C female voice: "Because I'm busy with a divorce lawsuit." ”

Female voice B: "Who are you listening to?" Is he really secretly married and cuckolded? ”

C female voice: "You don't care who I listen to, anyway, I heard that Ling Lu personally went to the hotel to arrest the people, beat them half to death, and said that they would kill the pair of dog men and women." ”

A female voice: "This is too ruthless, isn't it?" ”

C female voice: "Do you think Ling Lu is a loser?" ”

B female voice: "Can his wife cheat in the face of Ling Lu's appearance?" ”

C female voice: "Who knows the reason, maybe not..."

A female voice: "Don't say it, don't say it, be careful of being passed out." ”

Female voice B: "Let's go back to work." ”

Zhu Shan: "......"

Her little head, big question mark.

If she understands correctly, and there is no other lawyer surnamed Ling in this law firm, then this gossip is, she! Zhu Shan! Cheating???

Where the hell is this rumor coming from?

The causal connection that can't be written in the eight-o'clock dog blood drama!!

This has to be a ceiling out of nothing, right?

After a few more minutes, there was a knock on the door.

Zhu Shan immediately wiped her mouth and stood up.

Doreen pushed open the door and smiled with eight teeth: "Miss Zhu Shanshan, Ling Lu is done with his work." ”

Zhu Shan followed around the large office, then walked through a corridor, and finally arrived at Ling Xiao's office.

His office is still double-doored.

Sure enough, it's the big boss, and there is a spectrum!

Doreen knocked on the door, and without waiting for a response, motioned for Jusan to enter.

Zhu Shan pushed open the door and walked in, her lips opening slightly uncontrollably.

Ling Xiao's office is about 30 square meters, and on the left is a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling windows.

She walked over and leaned down at the glass, and the cars and passers-by on the road became the size of sesame dots; Looking up is the blue sky, ethereal like a blue gem.

This should be refractive glass, which is not dazzling when looking directly at the sun, and does not feel hot when it is close.

On the right wall is a three-seater leather sofa with a black solid wood table with a professional tea set.

Zhu Shan knew at a glance that it was an ornament, because Ling Xiao never drank tea.

He likes to drink coffee.

In front of it is a bookshelf with neat file boxes and small labels on the sides.

It's the same as in Ling Xiao's room.

There is an unknown green plant in the corner of the wall, taller than the Zhushan people, and the leaves are large and full.

Ling Xiao raised his head and saw Zhu Shan with his hands behind his back, looking around with his back slightly arched, like a leader who went down to the grassroots level to inspect.

But the leader doesn't wear a Mickey T-shirt with jeans, and he doesn't wear a macaron-colored checked headband on his head.

Ling Xiao was amused by her funny appearance, and clasped the table with the back of her hand: "Sit down." ”

Zhu Shan glanced back, rolled her eyes, ran over and sat down.

She didn't forget to get down to business, tilted her head, and said in a murmuring tone: "Ling Xiao, can you help?" ”

This slightly coquettish and pleading appearance made Ling Xiao unconsciously look at her twice.

He turned his gaze to her little face, fixed on the gauze on her forehead, and his thin lips opened lightly: "What's the hurry?" ”

"It's Yang Maoxue's wife, Fang Xinnuo, who helped her fight the divorce lawsuit."

Fang Xinnuo said that if he can get divorced, he will definitely leave.

Ling Xiao is an undefeated 'satanic lawyer'.

Send sub-questions.

Ling Xiao: "Divorce lawsuits are not easy to fight, unless the other half has cheating, domestic violence ......" Ling Xiao paused and reacted, "She really suffered domestic violence?" ”

"Yes!"

Ling Xiao picked up the pen, unscrewed it, opened a document and sketched on it: "Then you should find the police." ”

"There is no evidence."

"Then look for evidence." Ling Xiao spoke clearly, without a bit of Siton's elaboration, "The police records, medical records, and injury records have been recorded." Including but not limited to telephone, text message, email, video recording and other audio-visual materials. Witness testimony from relatives, friends, or neighbors. or a letter of repentance or a letter of guarantee made by the man......"

Ling Xiao raised his head and raised his chin slightly: "All of the above can be regarded as evidence." ”

Zhu Shan closed her eyes and shook her head.

"Nothing?" Ling Xiao lowered her head and focused on the documents, "She didn't call the police?" ”

"Hmm."

"Why?"

Zhu Shan: "Because there is no evidence. ”

The conversation turned again.

Ling Xiao was a little impatient: "Zhu Shanshan, you have already said this once. ”

In the next second, Ling Xiao's brows furrowed: "Then why did you say that she was subjected to domestic violence?" Spiritual? ”

"Not only that, but also physical... That's it... That ......"

Ling Xiao was originally looking at the document with her head down, but when she heard that Zhu Shan couldn't say a complete sentence, she looked up curiously and saw that her whole face was ripe into a red shrimp.

Ling Xiao interrupted: "Sex. Mistreat? ”

Zhu Shan was stunned for two seconds, and nodded several times in a row.

"That's not going to be easy."

"Why?"

"I don't know how to explain it to you, but it's really hard to define it as domestic violence."

"Why? She was obviously very uncomfortable, and she cried bitterly. ”

"Crying... It doesn't have to be uncomfortable. ”

“...... What do you mean? A flash of inspiration flashed in Zhu Shan's head, and even her neck was dyed red, "How do you know?" ”

"I'm a man."

After speaking, Ling Xiao stood up and walked to the bookshelf, his fingers skimming over the file boxes one by one, as if he was looking for something.

Zhu Shan sat on the chair, blinked twice with big eyes, slowly raised her hands, and rubbed her arms around her: "You won't... Perverted, right? ”

Ling Xiao sighed and turned to look at Zhu Shan.

When their eyes met, Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, and his dark eyebrows were wandering inch by inch on Zhu Shan's face at this moment.

Zhu Shan took a deep breath: "What are you looking at me, what are you doing?" ”

"What are you afraid of?"

"I..." Naturally, I'm afraid that you will have thoughts about me.

I didn't say the words in my heart, but my heartbeat was chaotic. Zhu Shan diverted the topic: "The people in your company make up my gossip. ”

"What?" The corners of Ling Xiao's mouth were stained with a smile.

He didn't expect Zhu Shan's thoughts to jump so quickly and the topic changed so quickly.

Also stiff.

He turned around and continued looking for papers.

Zhu Shan stood up and walked over, tilting her head: "Then let me ask you, is there another 'Ling Lu' in your company besides you?" ”

"Nope."

"I just heard them say that Ling Lu's wife cheated, isn't that me?"

Ling Xiao's eyebrows were beating, and his fingers tapped twice on the file box, neither light nor heavy.

Zhu Shan reacted instantly, this was equivalent to 'I am your wife', and she hurriedly made up for it: "It's damaged my reputation." ”

Ling Xiao looked at Zhu Shan sideways, with a ruffian expression: "Then I'll help you send a lawyer's letter?" ”

Zhu Shan: "......"

The smile on the corner of Ling Xiao's mouth did not close, and he raised his hand to grab the file box from the bookshelf and open it.

Zhu Shan looked at him with a calm face, coping with it easily, and was not angry: "Ling Xiao, will I never be able to say anything about you?" ”

"You can change the subject." Ling Xiao's fingers rustled over the documents, and his tone was joking, "Isn't this your area of expertise?" ”

Zhu Shan held her head, rolled her eyelids, and gasped: "Headache!" Headache! ”

This is Zhu Shan's regular performance, highlighting her dissatisfaction with Ling Xiao.

But in the next second, she felt her hot breath approaching.

Zhu Shan subconsciously took a step back, but was pressed on her shoulders by a pair of big hands.

Ling Xiao's deep voice fell: "I'll take a look." ”

Zhu Shan had a momentary pause in her breathing.

She saw Ling Xiao's sharp eyebrows and eyes circulating in her head very seriously, as if there was still a warmth that she had never experienced.

"Did you go for a dressing change today?"

“......”

Hearing no response, Ling Xiao shifted his gaze downwards and stared at her little face.

Her lips were red and her eyes were moist, as if she was going to... Cry?

"It hurts?" Ling Xiao closed the file and put it in the space on the bookshelf at random, "I'll take you to the hospital." ”

Zhu Shan seemed to have finally returned to his soul, and pulled his sleeve: "Exaggerated techniques, you are so angry." ”
