Self-investment

Luo Yimu and Jian Ling talked and laughed all the way to the gate of the court. Two lawyers came a step ahead of them. Seeing them coming, they went forward to greet them.

Chen Jin didn't lock the door, and when he saw Jian Ling's mouth bald, he said directly: "Morning, teacher, wife." He was poked by his colleague with an elbow.

Jian Ling was a little puzzled, "What teacher?"

Luo Yimu said calmly: "It's okay. Don't listen to his nonsense."

"That's right! I'm talking nonsense, Miss Jian, don't be surprised, I'm just like this, I always love to talk nonsense."

"..." It was fine if he didn't say this, but he became worried after he finished speaking. Can such an unreliable lawyer do it?

"Okay, it's cold outside, don't just stand around here, go in." Luo Yimu said.

They were about to enter the court when they saw Hao Xinyi arrived with a few people accompanying him. It rained a little this morning, but it had stopped now. There was still a man who came down early to hold an umbrella for Hao Xinyi and opened the car door Only then did Hao Xinyi stretch out one foot from the black car, and slowly raised the back of his hand. The umbrella man was very discerning, and quickly helped her raise the hand, and invited her out, "On the ground It's slippery, Madam Hao, please be careful where you step."

That style is really better than that of Empress Dowager Cixi back then.

The person who held the umbrella for her, Jian Ling, also knew him. He was the little boy raised by Hao Xinyi who came to deliver things to Jian Ling back then. He didn't expect Hao Xinyi to be in love this time. This little boy has been with her for almost half a year. Replace it with a new one.

Jian Ling looked coldly at Hao Xinyi getting off the car in style, and saw her attire clearly. She was wearing a pair of black stiletto knee-high boots and short woolen boots and trousers that were as short as her thighs. Today's temperature is close to 0 degrees. She The two white thighs are exposed to the north wind, and it seems that they don't feel the cold at all, but the upper body is wearing a silver-gray short fur coat, the wool is fluffy, and the proportions are extremely uncoordinated. The fur ball on the bamboo stick looks very funny.

Hao Xinyi was going out in full dress today, as if she wanted to pile all her wealth on her body. Seeing this uncoordinated fur ball stick walking towards her, Jian Ling still greeted herself with a smile as if nothing had happened. , "Ah Ling, how are you doing these days? Don't go to see mom, mom misses you to death."

Jian Ling almost vomited out the last night's dinner, and frowned in disgust, "You're looking for someone to destroy my store, so who will you show this mother-daughter love scene?"

Hao Xinyi walked in, only for Jian Ling to see clearly, she was wearing ball hair, her face was covered with thick powder, heavy makeup, long eyelashes, eyeliner also drooped down, and the color contact lenses were so big that the whites of her eyes could hardly be seen, her cheeks The red painting is pink and tender, and the lips are also moist. She squeezes her throat and speaks, afraid that others will see that she is over 40. There are two diamond-studded earrings on her ears, and the diamond necklace on her neck is dazzling. She wears a diamond ring the size of a pigeon egg. Looking closely, she looks like a moving jewelry booth, full of jewels and eye-catching.

"Ah Ling, you misunderstood my mother! I... I just said that I have no money, let them go to my daughter to try, after all, mother is just a woman with no power to restrain a chicken, you are different, you are doing big business Yes, but it’s only a few million, and mom thinks you’ll be able to get it out, and she never said anything like letting them smash your store.”

It is estimated that there are not many people in the world who put their face all out, but Jian Ling was unlucky enough to meet one, and that person was her own mother, who was so angry that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, snorted coldly, and said sarcastically: "Yes Ah, 900 million is a small amount of money, if you sell my dad’s house, you will have everything, you don’t have to spend a penny, and you can continue to wear furs and diamonds, and be your rich wife without any worries.”

"900 million?" Hao Xinyi opened her eyes innocently, "These vampires! When they asked me to collect the debt, they said it was 600 million! I thought that Ah Ling, you are so powerful, 600 million is just a drop in the bucket for you What? Mother gave birth to you in October, and blood is thicker than water. Isn’t it worth a mere 600 million yuan for me to give birth to you and raise you?”

Hao Xinyi's wishful thinking is very good, she knows that Jian Ling has no money, how much money can such a small Internet cafe have?A monthly revenue of [-] is amazing, but I can't stand Jian Ling's orders. A few months ago at the Luo family, Hao Xinyi noticed that the relative named Luo Yimu looked at Jian Ling a little bit wrongly. Hao Xinyi If he is a genius in this area, how can Luo Yimu's little meaning to Jian Ling fool her?He secretly asked his trusted people to squat near Jian Ling's Internet cafe for a while, and sure enough, he found out that Luo Yimu and Jian Ling had already lived together.

Luo Yimu's name, Hao Xinyi, has been heard for a long time. He is 35 years old, only 6 years younger than Hao Xinyi. He is a university professor. , such a person, you say she is just a teacher in the university who is paid a dead salary and has no money?Hao Xinyi wouldn't believe it even if she was killed, so she confidently asked the debtors to go to Jian Ling, thinking that Luo Yimu would send those people away with money even for Jian Ling.

But Hao Xinyi didn't expect Luo Yimu to be so stubborn. He didn't give or say a penny, and directly used his relationship to cheat the debtor. Hao Xinyi's creditor didn't dare to offend Luo Yimu, so he had to pass on all his anger When it comes to Hao Xinyi, they have threatened Hao Xinyi several times, saying that the end of the year is the deadline, and if she doesn't pay back the money before the end of the year, they will directly ask Luo Shisen for the debt.

If Luo Shisen knew about this, Hao Xinyi's painstakingly planned plan of marrying into a rich family would be ruined. She had been holding Luo Shisen, an old man, for so long and tried her best to conceive and give birth to a son. Isn't it just to become a rich wife? what?The members of the Luo family, big and small, are all bad-mouthed and spectators, just waiting to see her jokes. She and Luo Shisen have not yet received a certificate. Luo Shisen originally only wanted his son and not her. Once the news of the high gambling debts outside leaked out, Luo Shisen would kick her out without saying a word, and then he would really die.

Thinking of this, Hao Xinyi glanced at Jian Ling.

Jian Ling's beautiful facial features are completely inherited from her. The current Jian Ling is almost carved out of the mold of Hao Xinyi when she was young. She is also fresh and fresh, as delicate and beautiful as flower petals covered with dew in the morning. I feel pity for her.

Looking at her young and beautiful face, Hao Xinyi felt vicious jealousy in her heart, jealous of Jian Ling's youthful beauty, and then thought bitterly, if it wasn't for the shallow eyelids when she was young and ignorant back then, seeing that Jane Ling's father had a little money, Having given birth to his child a long time ago, he wouldn't be so old and decrepit so quickly, so now he can only beg for mercy on the old man Luo Shisen.

As for Jian Ling, why does she have such a good life?At such a young age, Hao Xinyi could seduce a proud man like Luo Yimu. Hao Xinyi listened to the descriptions and reports of her confidants every day, as well as the photos of Luo Yimu and Jian Ling getting along with each other. It was so natural and intimate. Jian Ling is so in love with her, it's just that she can't take out her heart and give it to Jian Ling.Hao Xinyi thought about herself again. Compared with Jian Ling's beauty when she was young, she was even worse than Jian Ling now. It's a pity that she didn't have such a good life as Jian Ling, and she didn't meet such a high-quality and perfect lover as Luo Yimu.

The person who is beautiful, elegant, rich in family, extraordinary in bearing, hard to find even with a lantern, was bumped into by Jian Ling as if he was lucky.

What about women?As long as there is money, men and women are not important to Hao Xinyi.

The more Hao Xinyi thought about it, the more she hated her. She felt that Jian Ling and her father were responsible for today's tragedy. She gritted her teeth and accused Jian Ling, "Even you were born by me. Is there anything that is not mine? Now that the wings are hard, do you know that you are fighting with your mother? It’s just asking you to take out a few million, and it’s like killing you? If it weren’t for you, my mother wouldn’t be reduced to Now this is the field! Everything I did today was caused by you!"

When she talked about the excitement, the blue veins on her forehead were completely exposed, even the thick foundation couldn't cover it, and her long nails pointed at the tip of Jian Ling's nose, wishing to poke into her eyes.

Luo Yimu took half a step forward and blocked Jian Ling behind him, with a serious expression on his face, "Ms. Hao, please respect yourself."

With an ice knife in her eyes, Hao Xinyi met her eyes, and her arrogance was reduced by half. She took a step back pretending to be charming, tilted her head, opened her eyes and smiled sweetly at Luo Yimu, "Ah Mu, we met before, don't you remember? When your cousin celebrated his birthday, we were not outsiders, so you still have to call me cousin sister-in-law."

Hao Xinyi thought very simple, Jian Ling's appearance was inherited from her, and she is only forty this year, and she is well maintained, not a few years older than Luo Yimu, since Luo Yimu likes Jian Ling's appearance, he can use it himself Think carefully, isn't it easy to hook Luo Yimu over?Being able to hook up with Luo Yimu is much better than being caught by Luo Shisen, an old ghost. Young, beautiful and rich, who doesn't like it.

Luo Yimu has no experience in this kind of situation, and her life experience is not enough to understand the thoughts of a brazen woman like Hao Xinyi.Hao Xinyi's attitude towards Jian Ling was so bad, Luo Yimu already hated her very much, and felt that Hao Xinyi's movements and expressions were very strange, which made her subconsciously feel uncomfortable. The double disgust combined, Luo Yimu saw She felt that she was polluting her sight at a glance, so she turned her head away lightly.

Jian Ling looked at Hao Xinyi's expressionless face, her heart became colder and colder, and finally turned into ice, and the last trace of expectation for her in the deepest part of her heart disappeared along with her distorted face.

When I was very young, looking at other people's mothers, I also imagined that one day, my mother would come back to me, send me to and from school every day, tell myself bedtime stories, and then kiss my forehead .

Later, even though I knew it was impossible, I still had illusions about the word "mother".

Not all people are suitable to be parents. Some people are born cold-blooded and don't care about anyone but themselves.

This is something Jian Ling knew very early on.

Just don't give up.

Until today, facing her with my own eyes and confirming this sentence, the last flame in Jian Ling's heart was finally extinguished, leaving no trace.

Jian Ling hates Hao Xinyi, and also hates herself who was born by Hao Xinyi. Hao Xinyi is right, she is always her blood, and half of her DNA is in her body, so Hao Xinyi's bad nature is also in Jian Ling's bones, Jian Ling's essence It's the same with Hao Xinyi, otherwise, before meeting Luo Yimu, Jian Ling wouldn't be so bad, coaxing those good girls as she pleases and being dissolute.

Jian Ling was choked by the sudden great fear, she couldn't breathe, her heartbeat seemed to have stopped, her legs were weak, she subconsciously took two steps back, fortunately Luo Yimu was behind her to support her so she didn't fall fall.

"Why are your hands so cold?" Luo Yimu hugged Jian Ling from behind, held her hand, frowned slightly, wrapped her cold fingers in his palm, rubbed them, and breathed out softly.

Jian Ling looked at her numbly, her eyes were full of sadness, she was full of confidence in the future between herself and Luo Yimu the day before, but because of Hao Xinyi's words, she suddenly felt guilty and afraid, thinking about the things she had imagined The future with Mumu is just a mirage in the desert, and she is a thirsty traveler in the desert. After running desperately, she finds that there is nothing, nothing, because the bad roots are buried in her heart, and Jiangshan is easy to change her nature It's hard to move, sooner or later I will do something that I'm sorry for Mumu.

"Is it cold?" Luo Yimu directly opened his clothes and put Jian Ling's hand on his hot chest. A burst of warmth came from Jian Ling's palm to his heart. Seeing Luo Yimu's concerned gaze, he was stunned.

The heat transmitted by Luo Yimu drove away all the overwhelming cold and despair in Jian Ling's heart just now, the light in those eyes shot straight into Jian Ling's heart, warm and bright, and immediately all the darkness transmitted by Hao Xinyi disappeared invisible .

As long as Mumu is there, even if it is a mirage, I have to climb to the side to have a look.Mumu dared to believe in herself, dared to like herself, but Jian Ling didn't understand why she was confused and timid because of Hao Xinyi's few words.

Maybe people are like this, when they see the darkness at first sight, they feel that there is no way to go, and their eyes are full of darkness, but as long as someone sprinkles a beam of light into her heart, she can follow that beam of light. As the guidance becomes wider and wider, the future suddenly becomes brighter, and the fears and fears of the past suddenly seem insignificant.

Jian Ling took a deep breath, turned back and held Luo Yimu, the two held hands warmly, Jian Ling also showed a relieved smile, and said, "I'm not cold, Mu Mu, don't worry."

In just a few minutes, Jane's mind turned back and forth, from darkness to light, and the face that had been pale just now returned to blood in an instant, wrapped in a white woolen scarf, it looked flushed, looked good, and smiled, Seeing Luo Mu stunned, he pinched her waist secretly, grinding his teeth in her ear, "Come to seduce me at this time."

With hot air spraying on her face, Jian Ling smiled even more charmingly, and whispered: "I just seduce you, what's the matter? You are my girlfriend, who else can I seduce if I don't seduce you?"

The more you talk, the less serious you are.

Luo Yimu doesn't know how to read minds, and if she can't read it, the twists and turns in Jian Ling's mind linger, but seeing her look sad for a while, and then brighten up for a while, she guesses that the rain is over, and she feels relieved a lot, Ignoring Jian Ling's little teasing regardless of the occasion, she nodded to Hao Xinyi's people and said, "The time is almost up, let's go in together."

Is there any lawyer in Jinling who doesn't know Luo Yimu?Many of them are even Luo Yimu's students. Even if the two parties are different, the lawyers on Hao Xinyi's side will give Luo Yimu a little sympathy when they see Luo Yimu, and respectfully call Mr. Luo. How dare they have Luo Yimu speak? He didn't listen, so Hao Sheng persuaded Hao Xinyi a few words, gave her a step down, and half pushed her to go to the court.

In the first court session, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed. Basically, both parties made statements and submitted evidence. Hao Xinyi's request was to share 60% of Jian Ling's father's inheritance, which was equivalent to 200 million in cash. Jianling's lawyers seized the loopholes in the will and pointed out the amount that Jianling had transferred to Hao Xinyi over the years, indicating that Jian's father's inheritance briefs had already been converted into cash and given to Hao Xinyi in installments, and Hao Xinyi asked to redistribute the inheritance demands are unreasonable.

The two sides were at a standstill, unable to reach a final result. The judge announced an adjournment. Luo Yimu watched the whole process without saying a word. After the trial, he walked out of the court holding Jian Ling's hand and asked her if she was hungry.

"It's okay." Jian Ling said.

She was dazed by the whole morning's trial, and she couldn't understand many professional terms. When the judge needed her to speak, she said it. Ling suddenly felt that they were really powerful, Jian Ling couldn't keep up with their thinking at all, and wondered if Luo Yimu had ever been a lawyer, and whether she was so high-spirited and unafraid when she was a lawyer, as if the entire court was her own home field.

Jian Ling had originally wanted to go to an adult university and study law. After this one time, this belief became stronger and she was almost unable to restrain it.

"Mumu, what do you think of me going back to study again?" Jian Ling asked casually when she came out.

Of course it is good to miss school, learning is endless, Jane makes himself know how to make progress, Luo Yimu is too happy, he raises his hands to support, but... "Can you take care of the business of your Internet cafe?"

"That's right..." Jane raised her eyebrows, and the idea of ​​going to study again that she had just established collapsed.

She still needs to take care of the business of the Internet cafe. Whether she is busy or not, she is absolutely inseparable from people. The monthly income and expenditure, the annual equipment replacement, and the purchase of goods all require energy, and then she will be distracted to go to university , is a bit unrealistic.

"Hey..." Jian Ling sighed, "I really regret that I didn't listen to my father's advice to continue studying in college. Even if I want to, I don't have a chance now."

"It's a good thing to want to learn, and you don't have to go to college to learn it. You spend an hour less playing with your phone every day and take the time to read books you're interested in." Luo Yimu said with a smile, "If it's not good enough, let's spend your money like chicken feet. If you practice your handwriting well, you are also learning.”

"Well, Mumu, what you said makes sense." Jian Ling nodded thoughtfully.Her handwriting is indeed a bit ugly, and it is even uglier compared to Luo Yimu, "Mumu, you write so beautifully, why don't you teach me?"

"You can make plans." Luo Yimu teased her, "I'm very strict, so don't cry if you can't hold on."

"No, I'm such a strong person, how can I cry?" Jian Ling spoke sternly, and suddenly rolled his eyes again, with an evil smile on his lips, and half tiptoed into Luo Yimu's ear and said: "Except in bed, when you make me too comfortable."

After finishing speaking, she couldn't help but chuckle, the hot air in her breath hit Luo Yimu's side face, causing a wave of heat to flow through her heart, and her throat couldn't help tightening.

It's getting more and more outrageous, he dares to tease himself on the street.Luo Yimu narrowed his eyes and licked the roots of his teeth dangerously. It seemed that when he went back later, he had to clean her up and let her know how to behave.

They deliberately walked a step slower than Hao Xinyi, thinking that Hao Xinyi and his party had already driven away, but who knew they still ran into them in the garage.

When Hao Xinyi saw Luo Yimu approaching, she put on a smile, tapped her high heels twice, trotted up to her, and smiled shyly, "Amu, why don't you come home often? Your cousin still There is a grandma who misses you very much, we are a family, and the relationship will not break up if we move around frequently, don't you think?"

"..." Jian Ling knew that Hao Xinyi had many lovers, but she had never seen her flirt with anyone. For a moment, she couldn't believe what was happening in front of her.

What's happening here?His own mother came to seduce her girlfriend?

Hao Xinyi really broke the lower limit of Jane Ling's acceptance time and time again.

"Sorry, Ms. Hao, I don't know you well. Please call me by my first and last name in the future." Luo Yimu didn't like Hao Xinyi's way at all. She didn't understand the purpose of Hao Xinyi's courtship to her, and felt that this woman was too inexplicable .

Luo Yimu refused quite bluntly, Hao Xinyi not only didn't feel embarrassed, but smiled even sweeter, "I just entered Luo's house, it's normal for you not to be familiar with it, as the saying goes, once you are born, you are familiar twice. After two trips to Luo's house, we'll get to know each other naturally, don't you think so? Or if you're busy with work, it's okay for me to visit you on behalf of your cousin and grandma, okay?"

Seeing her own mother jumping around like a clown, Jian Ling thought it was embarrassing and lost the point.

Luo Yimu only reluctantly gave her face for Jian Ling's sake. Seeing that she couldn't hear good words, he didn't bother to waste any more words, without raising his eyebrows, he sneered, and said lazily: "You are worthy ?”

Even if Luo Shisen came in person, whether he could see Luo Yimu would depend on Luo Yimu's mood. Such a low-ranking Chawu really didn't have any self-knowledge.

Hao Xinyi was refuted by Luo Yimu on the spot, without any sympathy, her face turned red and white at times, and Jian Ling watched it with great interest, Luo Yimu didn't want to waste time on irrelevant strangers, so he pulled Jian Ling Get in the car and drive out of the parking lot in less than 1 minute.

This incident was a bit of a random episode for her, but Jian Ling was very happy to see Hao Xinyi slumped, and when she got out of the parking lot, she gave a thumbs up and praised Luo Yimu for being so good, and with one sentence, Hao Xinyi was stunned. speechless.

Jian Ling spoke vigorously, and the expression on her face was lively and interesting. Luo Yimu looked at her in the rearview mirror, thinking to himself, it's really a good bamboo shoot out of rotten bamboo, and someone like Hao Xinyi can give birth to Jian Ling who is so smart and beautiful. But listening to Jian Ling's admiration for Jian's father, she thought that she probably inherited more of her father's excellent genes.

"My dad used to always say that I look like Hao Xinyi." After Jian Ling was happy, she asked Luo Yimu in a threatening tone: "Tell me, were you tempted when Hao Xinyi seduced you?"

Luo Yimu almost choked to death on his own saliva, and was so shocked that he couldn't hold the steering wheel steadily. The car skidded on the road, scaring her into a cold sweat, and scolded: "What nonsense?"

"Don't tell me you didn't see it, it's so obvious, you almost throw yourself into your arms!" Jian Ling said angrily.

"..." Luo Yimu suddenly realized it belatedly.

No wonder Hao Xinyi's attitude has a disgusting and weird intimacy. It turns out that this is called "seduction".

This is really beyond the lower limit of Luo Yimu's cognition, which makes her stomach churn.

"She... is really a cruel person..." After a long time, Luo Yimu suppressed his nausea and sighed in a low voice.

She took advantage of the time while waiting for the red light to examine Jian Ling carefully, and concluded with peace of mind, "It's not like."

The appearance and temperament are not the same, Jian Ling was carved out by God completely according to Luo Yimu's preferences, there will never be another similar person in the world.

As soon as he parked his car at the Internet cafe, Luo Yimu received a call from Guan Xu.

Guan Xu said, "The paternity test results are out."
