leave you

Feng Qingqing called Xue Jin back half an hour later.

"I asked the little sisters in your college and found out some news, but I can't guarantee the authenticity." She was not sure about what she said, but she was able to call Xue Jin back, which means that the news is probably true, "It is said that Gu Zhi Something happened to Lin’s family, and he refused to be a graduate student after he went back. My friend doesn’t know exactly what happened, but many people said that he repaid his favor and joined Sunco, you..."

Xue Jin frowned, vaguely guessing something.

"Then I know what I know." He thanked Feng Qingqing, promised to treat him to dinner next time, and added after thinking about it, "Don't mention this to Luo Shan, he must tell me about his big mouth."

"Okay," Feng Qingqing smiled, "Why should I tell him about this, don't worry."

After finishing talking with her, Xue Jin went to Mrs. Li first.After the rich wife made up her mind to get a divorce, she moved out of her husband's mansion and lived in a small duplex apartment building under her own name. She played with flowers and plants every day, and she seemed to be living quite comfortably.Xue Jin made an appointment with her in advance, and went over to discuss some details with the information. She also readily agreed, and quickly sent the address to Xue Jin's mobile phone.

It is said to be an apartment building, but there are not many such apartments in the entire Jiangcheng - located in the best location by the river, each building has a total of two households, and has its own independent garden, that is, it is an apartment The name of the house can be sold at the price of a luxury villa.

Xue Jin parked the car, took a heavy information bag from the back seat, and was about to ring the doorbell when he heard the sound of a sports car engine behind him.

Someone stopped the car behind him and asked hesitantly, "Are you... Lawyer Xue?"

He turned his head and met Li Yuanyuan's face in the convertible sports car.

She was wearing a simple shirt and trousers, with light makeup on. She looked fresh and capable, as if she had just come back from get off work, and she was different from when Xue Jin met her that night.Seeing Xue Jin looking over, Li Yuanyuan took off her sunglasses and said hello in a friendly way: "I'm not mistaken, hello."

"Hello, Miss Li." Xue Jin smiled and nodded slightly, "I am Xue Jin, Mrs. Li's attorney."

With Mrs. Li's relationship, it's not that he never thought of meeting Miss Li, but Xue Jin really didn't think of this situation in advance.

Li Yuanyuan obviously came to see her mother, since Xue Jin had already said hello, he couldn't leave her to ring the doorbell first, so he stood there and waited for her to park the car before entering the door with her.

"I've heard a lot of people mention you, but I didn't expect you to be more handsome than the rumors." Ms. Li was obviously interested in him, and chatted with him while walking, "I heard that you are studying abroad in the province of M, but unfortunately I Go late, or maybe we have known each other long ago."

"The Chinese community in Province M is not small. Many of my friends stayed there and mentioned Ms. Li."

Li Yuanyuan had a look of disbelief at first, and then couldn't help laughing: "Really? Then we know each other now, and I will invite you next time on my birthday. You must remember to come."

Her attitude is natural and generous, and she will stop talking, and she will not say unnecessary words. Even Xue Jin, who is so picky, can hardly find anything wrong. The two chatted happily, and finally added the WeChat.Mrs. Li was sitting on the open terrace by the garden arranging flowers, she obviously did not expect them to come in together, and greeted with a smile: "What a coincidence, come, sit down and have a cup of tea together."

"I came to see you on vacation today, and I happened to meet Lawyer Xue outside the door." Li Yuanyuan sat down next to her, asked her aunt to make tea, then looked back at Xue Jin, and said with a smile, "With the help of Lawyer Xue, look Don't worry about it."

Xue Jin nodded slightly, but did not speak.

She was expressing her mother's position, and she was on her mother's side in the divorce lawsuit between her parents.Although Li Kangwen has several small houses outside, Li Yuanyuan is the only child born in wedlock, and he has already started to take over the family business. It can be seen that he is still very satisfied with this daughter-now Li Yuanyuan is standing on Mrs. Li's side. Not to mention how much better I feel, at least I have more confidence when I go to court.Xue Jin knew that she was reassuring her mother, and it was hard to say what she would do in the future, so she simply kept her mouth shut and waited until the mother and daughter had finished chatting before coming to talk to him.

Fortunately, Li Yuanyuan didn't stay for too long, and left after sitting for a while. Mrs. Li sent her out. When she came back, Xue Jin had already put the materials on the table by category.

"Really careful." She boasted, and sat down opposite Xue Jin, "Others say you are too young, but I think young people with such meticulousness will only be more promising than those old guys in the future."

"You have won the award, you should." Xue Jin smiled and handed her the compiled list of evidence, "Please take a look at this first, and then we will check the specific content to see if there is anything else that needs to be added."

They spent more than an hour reviewing the evidence, and it was already dinner time after the work was completed, so Xue Jin stayed for dinner again with great hospitality. Before leaving, Mrs. Li also sent him to the door and invited him to come again next time.

"It's not good to bother you all the time, let's make an appointment at the law firm next time." Xue Jin smiled and begged for mercy, "It's right to do my job well. If I still come here all the time, I'd be too embarrassed."

"You said the same thing when I invited you to Yuanyuan's birthday party last time. It's just a light meal. There's no need to bother you." Suddenly remembered something and asked, "Lawyer Xue, I remember you graduated from Z University?"

Xue Jin was a little puzzled, but still nodded: "Yes, what's the matter?"

"Then you should be in the same class as someone... Gu Zhilin, lawyer Gu, do you know him?"

"..."

Seeing him stunned, Mrs. Li thought he didn't know him, so she smiled and said: "It seems that I was abrupt, but there are some overlaps in other aspects. If you want to get to know Mr. Gu, it doesn't matter if you don't know him."

Xue Jin was also just stunned for a moment, and immediately adjusted his expression after recovering, showing just the right doubts.

"Acquaintance is acquaintance, but we are at the same level and in different classes, and we are not very familiar with each other." He quickly used a set of "we are not familiar with each other" rhetoric. Facing acquaintances, it may be cheating, but it is definitely enough to lie to Mrs. Li, "Lawyer Gu is professional. The ability is very good, I don't know much about other aspects, if you want to know more, I can inquire for you..."

Most of Mrs. Li didn't know Gu Zhilin at all. It should be that the magazine exposed the framed photo of him and Li Yuanyuan and wanted to find out. It turned out that Gu Zhilin was in the same school as him, so she asked casually.He dealt with it casually, successfully disregarded his relationship with Gu Zhilin, and then got into the car under Mrs. Li's slightly pityful gaze, ending this miraculous meeting.

It's normal for a mother to be interested in her daughter's gossip, he can understand it, and if Li Yuanyuan really has something to do with Gu Zhilin, the Li family will probably have another big trouble.

But what did that matter to him?Xue Jin thought.

He dropped his cell phone on the coat of the co-pilot and drove directly to Yixin.Originally, she planned to pretend to be deaf and dumb as if she didn't know anything, but Li Yuanyuan seemed to have calculated the time, and suddenly sent a WeChat message.

"Lawyer Xue, my mother didn't ask you anything, did she?"

Xue Jin raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect her to ask so directly: "Which aspect is Miss Li referring to?"

"Come on, she must have asked you about Gu Zhilin, right?" Li Yuanyuan said to the point.

Since she didn't intend to show off, Xue Jin told her the truth: "I don't know Lawyer Gu well, so I didn't say anything."

"That's good, thanks."

After saying thank you, Ms. Li seemed to have achieved her goal and didn't ask any more questions. Xue Jin looked at the time and guessed that Su Yao was probably in the store, so he pushed the door and got out of the car.

"Mr. Xue," the waiter who was on duty was the same as last time, and immediately greeted him when he entered the door, "The boss is not here tonight, do you want to go upstairs or play by yourself?"

Today is Thursday, there are not many people, and Su Yao is not there, so it is not interesting for him to go upstairs and stay by himself.Xue Jin found a place by himself at the bar and sat down, waved him off and said, "I'll sit by myself and I'll be back in a while."

"Okay, just tell Ah Sang what you want to drink."

It wasn't the first time he was playing downstairs by himself, the waiter smiled knowingly and went about his own business.

The bartender Ah Sang is obviously a newcomer. He looks very young and his movements are not very skilled. He even put small labels on different wine bottles to distinguish them.Standing at the bar, he saw Xue Jin sitting down in front of him, he nodded cautiously and said hello: "Mr. Xue, what would you like to drink?"

"You are busy with your work, I have to drive, so I won't drink."

Su Yao is not here, he has no other plans tonight, he is planning to pass the time and go home to sleep later, so there is no need to drink.

To be honest, Xue Jin sat downstairs just for fun, and felt that it was boring to be alone upstairs, so he leaned against the bar and chatted with Ah Sang while playing mobile games.He was good-looking, and after sitting for a while, someone came over to strike up a conversation, but they all left when they saw that he didn't have that kind of intention - Yixin was a half-members bar, and the people who came and went were all regular customers, and no one wanted to make trouble here.

The mobile game is actually quite boring, but Xue Jin enjoyed it very much, but Ah Sang, who has been quietly staying at the bar all the time, got tired of watching it first.

"Mr. Xue, it's 11:30, are you hungry?" He asked, "I want to go to the back to get some food, can I bring you something?"

Xue Jin just finished playing a round, and he moved his fingers and raised his head and smiled at him: "Okay, I don't eat sweets, you can take whatever else you want."

The lighting effect near the bar is very good, and it can turn a three-pointer into an eight-pointer when it hits a person, so his smile is really a bit lethal.Ah Sang blushed a little when he saw him, nodded and went to the back kitchen, and came back after a while with a tray full of salty snacks and sandwiches.

"I told you to take all the salty ones if you don't eat sweets. Do you want to be so obedient?" Xue Jin was amused by this honest child, "Don't you want to eat something else?"

"I can do it." Ah Sang bowed his head embarrassedly, and returned to his seat, "I don't know what you like to eat, anyway, I also like salty food, so..."

He didn't look very old, probably still in school, with a fair complexion and big eyes, a typical boy's body, and sitting at the bar with a hat on, he looked pure like a kid who went to the wrong door.Xue Jin saw that he was very interesting, so he casually took a sandwich from the plate and ate it, and continued to tease him maliciously: "I'm teasing you - it's so easy to be shy, Su Yao didn't hire child labor, did he?"

"No, I'm an adult... There are guests coming, I'll go and have a look first."

Ah Sang's ears were red, seeing someone coming to order wine, he quickly slipped to the other side of the wine cabinet as if running away.But Xue Jin was sitting there, and there were not always customers who asked him to make drinks, and he couldn't always leave Xue Jin alone, so it didn't take long for this kid to come back in a daze.

"Afraid of me?" Xue Jin started a new game and was having fun, taking time to glance at him with a smile, "Let me ask, you won't pry your boss's corner, are you still in college?"

"...Mmm." The kid explained honestly, "Sophomore."

"Which school?"

"Z is big."

Now that Xue Jin really became interested, he didn't care about the game anymore, he put his phone aside and started to concentrate on flirting with others: "Then you have to call me Senior Brother Sheng."

Ah Sang looked at him in surprise and suspicion, Xue Jin let him look at him generously, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, I don't look like a graduate from Z University? Tell me which college you are from, maybe I still know your teacher .”

This is not to tease Ah Sang. Most of Z’s college students stayed in Jiangcheng after graduation, and many even stayed in school directly. Xue Jin’s class was especially large, and there were nearly ten of them in the law school alone.After so many years, Xue Jin's classmate might actually teach Ah Sang's professional class.

Ah Sang obviously didn't want to say more, he hesitated for a long time and didn't tell him.Xue Jin just wanted to have fun, didn't want to really inquire about any privacy, and just received a call, so he went out first after talking.After he left, the foreman came over to ask about the situation. Ah Sang thought for a while and shook his head: "Mr. Xue didn't drink, so he ate something and played some games."

"He doesn't stay downstairs often, but he had a good chat with you today." The foreman kindly reminded him, "Mr. Xue is a very nice person. Instead of waiting for the boss to solve your little problem, you might as well ask him directly." Mr. Xue—he is a lawyer, and he is much more reliable in resolving disputes than our boss."

Ah Sang sat on the chair with his head down, hesitantly said: "...Is that bad? There's no need for others to help me..."

"As you heard, he graduated from University of Z. If he happens to know someone, he might be able to do it with just a few words." The foreman patted his head and sighed, "It's not a big deal at all, and you don't want to Continue to suspend school, and you won’t lose a piece of meat if you ask.”

"What's missing a piece of meat?" Asked Xue Jin who just came back.

The foreman smiled: "It's nothing, I'm chatting with Ah Sang. Are you having fun, Mr. Xue?"

"It's okay, the sandwich is delicious." Xue Jin picked up his coat that was draped over the back of the chair with one hand, and handed him a card with the other hand, "I'm leaving a little earlier, please swipe the card for me, thank you. "

It was a VIP card given by Su Yao, it was anonymous and had no consumption quota, but there were very few people who had this card, all of them were his buddies, usually swiping their faces was enough, and almost no one used it.Xue Jin doesn't usually swipe, but Su Yao is not here today, so he is more or less used to putting on a show, and just happened to carry the card on his body, handed it out, waved his hand and left.

Seeing him go out, the foreman passed the card to Ah Sang: "Let it go, and return it to Mr. Xue directly next time."

"Don't you need to brush?" Ah Sang asked stupidly.

"Swipe what, there are only five cards in total, and they have been issued since the opening, and no one has ever swiped them." The foreman smiled helplessly, "Keep it safe, and don't miss the opportunity next time."

As midnight approached, Yixin's passenger flow gradually increased, and he quickly turned around to do other things and didn't care about this side anymore.Ah Sang stared at the card for a long time, and after a long time of mental construction, he finally put it away silently.
