After the divorce, the boss doted on me

Back in the office, Tan Man took out her mobile phone from a pile of documents, and sent a text message to Gu Mochen.

"Lawyer Gu, are you working overtime tonight?"

Within a few seconds, I received a reply from the other party: "Why?"

"I have some legal matters, and I want to consult you."

As soon as the news was sent out, the phone rang. It was Gu Mochen who called. Tan Man was taken aback. She didn't expect that the other party would call directly.

She glanced around, picked up her phone and walked out.

"Hello, Lawyer Gu."

"What's the matter, what's the problem?"

"It's not me, it's a student in the school. The situation is a bit complicated, and I can't explain it for a while, so I think, if you come back early at night, I will consult you by the way."

According to the current situation in the country, it is generally not a good thing for ordinary office workers to consult legal issues. After seeing her text message, Gu Mochen stopped the urgent file in his hand, walked to the window, and called her.

At this time, he inexplicably became playful: "Do you know the fee standard for consulting me?"

"what?"

It's just a question, not a charge.

Tan Man never thought about the question of consulting fees, but then she thought about it, she is a big name, why waste time answering your questions for free.

"Eh...then, shall I treat you to dinner?!"

Gu Mochen was just talking casually, but he didn't expect her to answer like this, but he did it unintentionally, and smiled on the other end of the phone: "Okay, just tonight, how about it?"

"Tonight?" If Tan Man had a sip of water in her mouth at the moment, she couldn't help but spit it out, which would be too efficient, "Then, well, just tonight."

"Well, I'll pick you up at your school after get off work."

"You don't have to be so polite, just tell me the location, and I'll just take a taxi there."

"I'm just dropping by. Xiaobei Kindergarten will have a parents' meeting in the afternoon. I'll take him there when it's over."

It turned out to be the case.

Manman was embarrassed for a while: "Alright then, I'll wait for you at school."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Mochen looked at the bustling CBD street scene downstairs, and couldn't help chuckling. The still congested intersection looked much more pleasing to the eye today.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Mochen arrived at the gate of Bo'ai Special Education School on time.

Tan Man took her bag and rushed to the elevator. In the elevator, she took out her lipstick and traced it lightly on her lips, licked it, and then straightened her hair and skirt. I smiled with satisfaction.

The black Audi car had already parked not far from the gate, the driver's window was down, and she saw the highly recognizable side face at a glance. He seemed to be talking on the phone. When seeing her, she couldn't forget Wei Wei nod.

Tan Man also responded to him with a smile, and was walking towards the car when someone behind her suddenly stopped her.

"Manman, is your boyfriend here to pick you up?"

Tan Man turned her head, and it was Mr. Zhang from the Finance Department who was talking.

Teacher Zhang was a middle-aged woman in her early forties with a loud voice and overly enthusiastic voice. When she called out, Tan Man subconsciously glanced at the man in the car. Fortunately, the man was still on the phone.

"It's not a boyfriend, you misunderstood Teacher Zhang."

"The little girl is still shy. It's normal for you to fall in love at your age. I'm afraid that many male teachers in the school will be sad."

"Ms. Zhang, don't make fun of me. I'm leaving first. My friend is waiting." He waved to her and walked away.

When she came to the car, she hesitated whether to sit in the co-pilot or sit in the back with Xiao Bei.

"Sit here." He had finished talking on the phone, looked at her, and turned his head slightly to the passenger seat of the car.

Tan Man froze for a moment, then walked over obediently.

After fastening the seat belt, Tan Man turned around and greeted the little guy sitting honestly in the rear safety seat: "Hey, Xiao Bei, are you having a good time driving today?!"

"Manman!" Xiao Bei blinked his bright eyes, "Brother said, I'm going to have dinner with Manman tonight, happy."

Tan Man subconsciously shifted her eyes to the man beside her, and the other man turned her gaze back just in time. Their eyes met, and the air suddenly became ambiguous. In his eyes, there was something completely different from the usual calm and serious, like Lingling waves. , flickering, disrupting her breathing, of course, all of this is limited to her unilateral fantasy.

"Xiaobei, you can't be called Manman, but sister!"

His eyes returned to the road ahead, and there was determination in his eyes.

When the children behind heard it, they became emotional, and as if deliberately against him, they shouted a few decibels higher: "Manman!"

At this moment, Gu Mochen frowned.

Tan Man couldn't help laughing, it was rare for her to see two brothers with such a big age gap, even competing for such a trivial matter.

She chuckled: "It's okay, Xiaobei and I are friends, it's more kind to call Manman!"

Hearing this, the other party was a little upset: "Then you should change your address too."

"What?" Tan Man didn't understand what he meant.

"Lawyer Gu!" When he said these three words, he glanced at him with a bit of disgust in his eyes, "Are you my client?!"

Tan Man thought for a moment, then quietly said: "You are older than me, so I will follow Xiaobei and call you brother?"

elder brother? !
Gu Mochen frowned: "I don't have the habit of mistakenly identifying my sister!"

"Then what did you call it?" Tan Man curled her lips.

The other party did not respond.

After a long while, she suddenly opened her eyes wide, and suddenly said: "Oh, I see, you pay my salary, you are my boss, let's call it Boss Gu, how about it?!"

"..."

If Gu Mochen hadn't been driving a car, he would definitely have sprayed his old blood.

Before the inviter asked what they were going to eat, the invitee took the steering wheel and drove them directly to the entrance of a private restaurant.

After parking the car, Gu Mochen led Xiao Bei to walk in front, Tan Man followed closely, and walked into this rather quaint "Ma Ma's Private Kitchen".

"Welcome, hello, who are you?!" The little girl welcoming guests at the door enthusiastically greeted Gu Mochen who had just entered the door.

"Three of you, I have booked a box, surnamed Gu." Gu Mochen walked in front calmly, pulling Xiaobei's back, looking like a good father of the Gu family who has achieved fame.

"Mr. Gu, this way please, in the lotus room!" The little girl walked ahead quickly and led them into the box.

Tan Man was a little surprised. This restaurant looks ordinary from the outside, but the decoration inside is unique and thoughtful. The whole environment is fresh and elegant, which makes people appetite. However, it is not a place for ordinary consumption.

"I've been to this place a few times, and it tastes good." After being seated, Gu Mochen said.

Tan Man nodded with a smile. Behind the smile, she heard the sound of her wallet crying. Fortunately, when a bank account manager went to the school to sell credit cards last month, she wisely applied for one.

The little girl walked in with the menu card and handed it directly to Gu Mochen.

"What do you want to eat?" He looked up at Tan Man.

"I'm not picky eaters, you just order." She pursed her lips and smiled.

When Gu Mochen heard this, an intriguing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When he started flipping through the menu, the little girl next to him began to introduce it enthusiastically.

"The newly launched family set menu in our store not only has dishes for children, but also suitable for parents. The portion is just enough for your family of three to eat. Do you want to try it?"

Mother? !
She was about to raise her head to explain something, but the man on the opposite side said without paying attention: "Okay, that's it."

The little girl left the box respectfully.

Tan Man was a little depressed, covered her cheeks with her hands, and muttered: "Do I look that old? How do I look like a mother?!"

Hearing her words, Gu Mochen let out a muffled laugh: "I thought you would mind something else, such as 'a family of three'."

After being reminded by him, Tan Man realized the implication, and smiled awkwardly: "This shows that, compared with other things, what women care most about is age."

"I took Xiaobei out, and I was often treated like a father, so I just got used to it." Seeing her slightly red face, Gu Mochen suddenly became in a good mood, "Tell me, what questions do you want to consult?!"

"Say it now? How embarrassing to talk about work during meal time."

"It's okay, I'll take you home after dinner, and I have to go back to the law firm." He said it lightly, especially certain words.

"You're so busy today, why didn't you tell me earlier, I'm not particularly anxious about that matter." She looked at him with a little apology on her childish and pure face.

"It's okay, you can use your time efficiently."

When Tan Man heard this, she was not polite anymore. Anyway, this meal was her treat.

So she took out the torn advertising paper from her bag and handed it to him, and the other party probably understood after a glance.

"The victim is a student of your school?" he asked.

"Yes, she is a mentally handicapped girl named Xiaoqing. She is ten years old. Her parents are migrant workers. She applied for a poverty support quota to enter our school. Now she is being treated unfairly because of xx, and she tries to protest by withdrawing from school. , Posting big-character posters outside the school, I know it’s futile, and it may be counterproductive, but these are really facts, it’s just that the school blocked the news, and that He Li also resigned. So I want to ask, like Xiaoqing Is there a glimmer of hope if we go through legal procedures.”

"The so-called hope, do you hope to get compensation or send the other party to prison?"

"Actually, I don't know the specifics of the case, and I haven't even met her parents. It's just that the little girl used to be my student. It's really pitiful. I know the feeling of being alone and helpless, and having no place to appeal for grievances." , besides, they are all foreigners, and under the influence of the other party, it is even more difficult to get any fair treatment."

"So you are arguing yourself?" Gu Mochen frowned, "Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?!"

Tan Man blinked her big innocent eyes: "No way, I... just consulted first, and besides, if I help in private, no one will know."

Gu Mochen looked at her thoughtfully for a few seconds before continuing: "Sexually assaulting and molesting children under the age of fourteen, especially vulnerable children with intellectual disabilities, is definitely a punishment beyond half a month's detention. The specific circumstances How much can you say?"

Seeing the other party shaking his head in ignorance, Gu Mochen smiled wryly: "Then I can't make any judgment now."
