Survival

four

Xiaobai lowered his eyes, "Is it because I didn't win the lawsuit?"

Xiaobai's name was really correct, his skin was white and tender, coupled with his innocent expression now, Yu Sheng couldn't help standing up and pinching his cheek.

"What are you thinking about? It's my own interest." After pinching, Yu Sheng sat back in his original position.

He smiled happily, his indifferent smile was really beautiful in Yu Sheng's eyes.

"Then would you like to share with me the cases where you pay more attention?"

Yu Sheng glanced at the time, and agreed, "The shortfall of public funds last year, the serial murder case and the theft case at the beginning of this year."

Xiaobai nodded quickly, "These are all big cases that have happened here in the past two years. There are so many people involved, including officials, business circles and gangsters!"

The corners of Yu Sheng's mouth turned down, but she was smiling with that expression, she lowered her head and played with her fingers, "That's why it's worth studying."

Xiaobai narrowed his eyes, "But lawyer Xiao was the defense lawyer, and they all won the lawsuit."

Yu Sheng suddenly raised his head to meet Xiao Bai's eyes, and almost blurted out, "I didn't!"

As a lawyer, psychology is a compulsory course, and he can see through the rest of his life at a glance, "Why are you so excited?"

Yu Sheng picked up his bag and went out, Xiaobai's voice came from behind: "I support you, Yu Sheng!"

Yu Sheng screamed in his heart, Xiaobai is sick, Xiaobai is sick.

Yu Sheng drove to the place where he bought the paint. It has been two years, but nothing has changed.

I didn't hear the usual voice, sister Yu Sheng.Looking at the counter, it turned out to be the boss.

Yu Sheng didn't speak, and took a box of paint to the counter before asking, "Where's that young man?"

The boss was a little unhappy about Yu Sheng's impoliteness, and said in a bad tone: "I went abroad to study."

Yu Sheng was silent for a moment, but still changed.

I thought that nothing would change in two years, but the appearance looks the same, but I still feel that the daily life of the past is different.

At this time the phone rang suddenly, and Yu Sheng pressed the answer button.

"Yu Sheng, she plagiarized your painting again. This time the evidence is sufficient, because I held an exhibition for you two years ago, and the painting was in it, and there are photos for records."

"Okay, tell her"

Maybe she had already notified Ye Yun that she was going to court before she even said Ye Yun.

Yu Sheng put a box of paints into the car as quickly as possible, locked the door and immediately crossed the overpass to the building opposite.

Pushing open the glass door, he saw the lady at the counter was answering the company's phone. Yu Sheng felt bad, so he immediately walked to the corridor behind the counter, but unfortunately he was stopped.

"Miss, you can't go in."

Yu Sheng threw the handbag into her arms, and before she could pick up the things that fell on the ground, he walked into the corridor that he hadn't walked in several times.

The counter lady in the law firm mainly relies on her temper and quality, so the counter lady who is used to it still picks up the things on the ground, puts them back in the bag, and then goes to the corridor to look for Yu Sheng.

Yes, it is used to go.

The four walls of the law firm are all white, and they are suffocatingly clean. It is strange that the cleanliness can also be suffocating, because there is another factor.

Quiet.

very quiet.

"knocking"

"Come in"

The deep voice inevitably made Yu Sheng pause for three seconds, and pushed open the glass door after three seconds.

At this time Xiao Chengyi looked up and saw a stranger, and blurted out, "Who are you?"

Yu Sheng frowned slightly, yes, he is a barrister, how could he remember every client, let alone she is not his client.

"I came to you to help me with the lawsuit."

I came to you to help me with the lawsuit.Such a simple and direct sentence.

Xiao Chengyi lowered his head, and the deep voice entered Yu Sheng's ears again, "You should go to the counter and wait for the notice."

"I don't want to be late for the third time."

Xiao Cheng thought of something, but he forgot it when he was about to know it, and his mind went blank.

"Sit down and talk."

Yu Sheng sat down, at this moment there was the sound of hands beating on the glass door again.

"Come in."

The counter lady bowed to Xiao Chengyi before turning her head and handing Yu Sheng's handbag to her. Yu Sheng said thank you and took the handbag back.

One can tell at a glance that the quality of the people here is terribly high, just an ordinary counter lady can see her face, she has seen Yu Sheng sitting on the chair and didn't say anything that you can't come in, miss.

This kind of words, one time is enough, many times seem cheap and useless.

She turned around and left, Yu Sheng felt a little lucky that she hadn't told Xiao Chengyi about the plagiarism case yet.

"I sued her for plagiarism two years ago, but she was not convicted because of insufficient evidence. You were the defense lawyer at that time."

Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows, and the little forehead lines were revealed in front of Yu Sheng's eyes without any concealment.

Yu Sheng went on to say: "Now she is so stupid to copy my painting again, this time there is evidence."

Xiao Chengyi had a question in his mind, and he didn't know whether he should ask it or not. Since he had the evidence and was so sure, why did he insist on looking for him, and since he was a former defense lawyer, wouldn't he be afraid that he would not answer or would not take it seriously?

In the end Xiao Chengyi chose not to ask, and Yu Sheng showed him the photo Ye Yun had just sent her, holding the phone in front of him.

That was the painting that was plagiarized this time.

Xiao Chengyi focused his eyes for a moment, but lay down on the back of the chair the next second.

"Ring-ring-ring"

Xiao Chengyi picked up the phone.

"Tell her I'm already the plaintiff's attorney for the prosecution."

"Well, let her go."

Xiao Chengyi hung up the phone and continued to look at Yu Sheng. He was not particularly handsome, but he was honest enough, like a man who would be very handsome if he was serious.His eyes are a little blurred, but they seem to be very firm, and he can't see clearly for the rest of his life.

She didn't avoid his eyes, until she looked at him, until Yu Sheng couldn't help but say, "My name is Yu Sheng."

He blinked, his expression was completely different from just now, "Hello Miss Yu, happy cooperation."

He was very strange, when others said that they had a good cooperation, they would stretch out their hands and wait for the other party's back to shake, but he didn't.

"Tell me the details."

"This is a painting I drew two years ago, before I got married, but I didn't finish it, and I finished it after the divorce."

"Afterwards, I went to the UK to develop, and I just came back yesterday. This painting was sold during the two years."

"When exactly?"

Yu Sheng paused, Xiao Chengyi looked up at her, then lowered his head again.He repeated, "When exactly?"

"......I have no idea."

Yu Sheng didn't know at all, after all, Ye Yun helped her with these things, she only knew that all the paintings she asked him to sell before were sold out.

"Can I call you again tomorrow?"

Yu Sheng really doesn't know.

It's supposed to be a waste of his time, but he doesn't mind, "Okay."

Yu Sheng stood up, turned his head to leave, and glanced back halfway through. With his clean and neat hair, he was more like a president than a lawyer.

After Yu Sheng came out, he took a deep breath and thought, after two years, finally.

Yu Sheng sent a message to Ye Yun.

[I have two lawsuits now]

[Who is the lawyer? 】

[Leave the divorce to Xiaobai, leave the plagiarism to Xiao Chengyi]

【Okay, I'll help you out】

Yu Sheng's hands trembled and he typed a few typos, 【My new home, respect Beihai? 】

Is my new home ready...

Then Ye Yun got used to it, he sent an address and told Yu Sheng that the key was still there.

Yu Sheng turned off her phone and followed the navigation to her new home.

A house that can be considered luxurious is definitely enough to live alone for the rest of your life.A house without a gate, only the wooden door to enter the interior.

Yu Sheng looked for the lower right corner of the door, and sure enough, he found the key.This is where Ye Yun put it when he moved before. Once, Yu Sheng helped him bring him the briefcase he had missed, but he couldn't enter the door.

He told her: "The doorknob is on the left so the key is on the bottom right."

She said, "Aren't you afraid of stealing?"

"Why do thieves have time to look for the corner of the door? They are ready to steal, so it is impossible not to use the props."

Yu Sheng looked at the key, opened the wooden door and entered the house.

Yu Sheng observed the four weeks, and even the refrigerator was full, but what she thought was, is the methamphetamine she had before she left, still there?

She climbed the stairs to the second floor, which contained a small living room and three bedrooms.

Her intuition was that the master bedroom was the only room on one of the walls, how could it be possible that the master bedroom was in one of the rooms on the same wall.

She opened the door to see crystal meth on the bedside table.

The previous apartment faced west, so there was hardly any sunlight, not to mention that there was no window in the master bedroom.

It is noon now, and the sun is fierce. The methamphetamine refracted by the sun is so beautiful that people are suffocating. Unfortunately, there is still a plastic film blocking the more beautiful refraction. Many girls are greedy for the beauty to try it. But the most beautiful things are often the most poisonous.

Yu Sheng picked up a small packet of methamphetamine, opened the plastic film, put it in front of his nose, sniffed it and put it back immediately, he was choked at that moment, because Yu Sheng took it orally, and some of them burned like inhaling inhaled into the nostrils.

But Yu Sheng's nose is sensitive, and she wouldn't have any smell at all. After all, it needs to be burned to emit smoke, but she actually smelled strong.

Maybe it was left too long.

When Yu Sheng raised his eyes, he saw the painting that was originally in her bedroom, the painting that she drew with her sister.

Yu Sheng opened the door and closed it with one hand without turning around.She walked to one of the rooms opposite, full of books.

What about paints, panels and supports?

Yu Sheng impulsively took out the phone from his pocket, and paused when he was about to press the button.

She was asking herself what she was doing.When did she become so impulsive.

Yu Sheng put the phone back in his pocket before the screen turned on, "It's time..."

Yu Sheng left again, but he didn't close the door. When he closed the door, there was a gap. There was strong sunlight in that gap, but the shadows were surrounded by darkness, so obvious dividing lines.

Yu Sheng went to the next room, and when he opened the door, he saw a space twice the size of the master bedroom, which was obviously enlarged.

There are really a lot of materials here, but the paint has already filled a floor cabinet.

There are also dozens of supports and drawing boards.

Yu Sheng glanced at the date of birth, it was the year she left.

It should have been decorated here for a while, no wonder, she was still thinking about how Ye Yun's movements were so fast, and everything was ready in one morning.

Turns out it was just a temporary move of things from the apartment to the master bedroom.

Yu Sheng closed the door with one hand and walked back to the study next door.

Because she didn't close the door, she opened the door and walked in. It was a study.

Yu Sheng randomly picked up a book, and started to read while standing. After standing for two hours, her legs began to feel sore. She walked around to the moving chair behind the desk, and sat down in slow motion while reading.

I have to admit that psychology books are really fascinating, especially suitable for the rest of my life, which is a sensitive human being.She has been easy to see through human nature since she was a child, and it only takes a short time for her to realize that most of the people around her don't like her, especially her relatives.

Yu Sheng read almost half of the books on psychology.She was tired, and when she read the fifth book, she closed her eyes and wanted to rest for a while.

But not long after I closed my eyes, I opened my eyes again, and pressed the power button of the phone. After waiting for 2 minutes, the target was the time—one o'clock in the morning.

Yu Sheng didn't expect that she had read it for so long. In retrospect, it is true that a book on psychology is not thin.

She arranged the books on the table, at least to let herself know which one she had read.

The sun goes down early, waiting for the next dawn is such a happy moment, how many methamphetamine patients are still addicted to the world full of youthful love.

Yu Sheng turned off the lights and left the study. She walked to the studio next to her, picked up the materials she needed to use, and started painting under the moonlight.

She didn't turn on the light, she just wanted to be quiet.

Yu Sheng uses a lot of paint, and her paintings always have a thick layer of paint. She pays attention to details, because she thinks that details are the focus of painting.

How many painters use low-quality and small amounts of paint to complete the so-called art in order to save money.Although Yu Sheng's paintings are now expensive, this habit started when she decided to become a painter.

Another reason why she wants to be a painter is that she feels that her life is like a painting, controlling her own destiny and every detail of her life.But a dividing line was forcibly drawn two years ago, which is as dazzling as a crack.

When she came back to her senses, her painting had already started, and Yu Sheng relied on her own mood to draw a picture that Yu Sheng couldn't even see clearly.

Half an hour before the painting was finished, it was almost dawn. She simply packed up and sat on a chair on the balcony to wait for the dawn.

She saw the bluebirds, and their throaty voices were especially shrill and desperate in the quiet morning.

Waiting for the dawn, although the sun is the same, but every time the rest of my life can't sleep after smoking meth in the UK, she waits for the dawn, she doesn't know how many more she can see, but now it seems Like a kind of hope, obviously nothing has changed.

Yu Sheng stared blankly at the sky, the city, and the sun all morning. She was thinking,

Human beings use bricks and planks to build what they think is a beautiful home, but they can't create a world. You can't stay in fantasy all your life. Once you go out, you will see another world.

She stood up and began to dress up after washing.Light makeup can at least cover up that haggard face.

Before she left, she still didn't forget to call Ye Yun to ask about the details of the painting's sale.

Yu Sheng was slightly surprised, then regained his calm mood, took a deep breath, and drove to his law firm.

Yu Sheng parked the car in front of the law firm, this time there was no need to cross the overpass.

She went straight in, and she was still the lady at the counter, "Miss Yu, please wait a while, I will inform Lawyer Xiao for you."

Yu Sheng couldn't help but look in all directions. In fact, they were all just simple white, but the hall was too empty.

At this time, a small group of people came out from the end of the corridor, and only the sound of footsteps surrounded the hall.

They passed her by as if they hadn't seen Yu Sheng.It should be the staff here, and Yu Sheng is just the plaintiff in one of the cases, nothing special.

After standing for about half an hour, the counter lady finally received a call saying that Yu Sheng could come in.

Yu Sheng desk curtain nodded slightly and headed for the only glass door in the corridor.

"knocking"

"Come in"

Same words, same tone as yesterday.When Yu Sheng opened the door, he saw that neat hair again. He lowered his head but looked up at Yu Sheng for a moment.

"I thought the connection you were talking about was just a telegram."

It may seem impolite to sit on a chair for Yu Sheng without asking, but she doesn't care.

She approached her upper body and pressed her elbows on the table, "I don't have your phone number."

In Xiao Chengyi's eyes, this posture was a bit strange, he put down his pen and lay back.

He pursed his lips hard, "There should be a law firm's number on the Internet."

Yu Sheng chuckled, "What I want is your private number."

Xiao Chengyi's only thought now is - this woman is really...

Before he opened his mouth, he heard Yu Sheng's voice again.

"It's obviously you who bought that painting."

These words wandered in Xiao Chengyi's mind for half a minute. "Um"

"You came to buy my paintings after you won the lawsuit, what were you thinking?"

what's on your mind

...God knows.

"It's nothing. Don't worry about this lawsuit. The materials have been arranged."

He continued: "Why didn't you tell me you were arranging divorce proceedings?"

Yu Sheng rolled his eyes a few times before answering: "Is there any conflict with the plagiarism incident?"

"First, you are currently involved in two cases, and there will be a lot of trouble in scheduling the trial. Second,..."

"I filed the divorce lawsuit two years ago. What do you think the judge will think?"

Yu Sheng was silent for a moment, and only raised his head after 2 minutes. During these 2 minutes, Yu Sheng looked at his fingers while Xiao Chengyi looked at her.

"are you hungry?"

This sentence blocked Xiao Chengyi's mouth, and he didn't know what to answer.

She went on: "I'll treat you to lunch."

There is no too much explanation, only to make up for the mistakes.

He agreed.

I thought he would not agree, but I didn't expect him to agree so easily.

"Want to take my car?"

Yu Sheng said, "I'll drive, you don't have a time limit for eating, right?"

Xiao Chengyi nodded, "Then let's go."

Yu Sheng drove to her home, but she didn't know why, there were so many restaurants nearby.

It took half an hour to arrive at Yu Sheng's home, which was much closer than the previous apartment. At first, she thought it was just convenient for her to buy paints, but it turned out not. There were enough paints in the cabinet for her to use for half a year.

"your home?"

Yu Sheng nodded, got out of the car, opened and locked the door, barely speaking during the process.

She regretted it.

"Sit down, I'll go to the kitchen."

"Um"

Yu Sheng opened the refrigerator and saw the dazzling array of ingredients, she thought to herself

How to do.

Yu Sheng poked his head out and said in a voice that could be heard from the distance between them, "Xiao Chengyi, come here."

To put it simply, Yu Sheng doesn't treat him as a guest at all, and she has long forgotten what it means to be a guest.

Xiao Chengyi was a little dazed, he stood up and walked in the direction of Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng opened the refrigerator, what Xiao Chengyi saw were the ingredients, he turned to look at Yu Sheng, thinking

what do you want?

Although the answer appeared in his heart, he still felt that he should not ask.

At this time, Yu Sheng discovered that Xiao Chengyi was actually not very tall, but he was definitely half a head taller than Yu Sheng. Even so, what he had was what every girl liked, money, power, and appearance.

Money and power are one, and no one would envy a barrister like him, and his appearance is good-looking, and he would not think he is good-looking at the first or second glance. nice.

There are many people chasing him.

Yu Sheng panicked and realized that Xiao Chengyi had already taken out the ingredients and walked behind her.

"can you cook?"

"will not."

Yu Sheng turned around and walked to him and put the tomato and noodles back into the refrigerator, "Forget it, let's go out and eat."

Yu Sheng's voice trembled a little, because her drug addiction seemed to be on the verge of breaking out, she said she was going to the bathroom, then turned her head and left.

Xiao Chengyi went back to the living room and waited for Yu Sheng, although he still didn't understand why he took her to her home even though he couldn't cook.

He couldn't see her clearly.

As a lawyer, he can't see through people's hearts.

Yu Sheng bit her own arm hard in the toilet until the drug addiction slowly disappeared. She controlled her drug addiction very well in the UK and consumed less, smoking at most twice a month.

However, there is no way to quit methamphetamine. After controlling it for a long time, the next drug addiction will be more serious, so I will only use it for the rest of my life.

Yu Sheng pulled down her long sleeves, and there were all kinds of tooth marks in her long sleeves, all of which were deep, but Yu Sheng didn't just bite the same place, so it fell apart after two days.

After tidying up and going out, she said, "Let's go, what do you want to eat? Fabric?"

When I saw him take out the noodles just now, I thought he should want to eat noodles.

Xiao Chengyi stood up and said no need.

Yu Sheng said, "Go out first, I'll close the door."

After locking the door, Yu Sheng opened the door of the co-pilot's seat, and then went around to the driver's seat. Before entering the car, he said that you want to take a taxi in a residential area, and if you can hit it, you win.

He looked back at the passenger seat with the door open, and got into the car without being able to refuse.

he thought.

I can call for a car...

There was no music in Yu Sheng's car, and it was eerily quiet, "Where do you want to eat?"

Xiao Chengyi intertwined his hands, "No need, please drive me directly to the lawyer's office."

Yu Sheng could see that this man's face was unusually thin, but he was also stubborn, and he couldn't refuse the second time he was asked.

"Go around here, they have good fabric."

Sure enough, I saw him bow his head and play with his fingers, without saying a word.

Yu Sheng chuckled and continued to drive to the place she said.

Of course, only Yu Sheng could see this smile from the mirror with his peripheral vision.

15 minutes is really close, but the distance to go back is far away.
