i gave myself away

Xie Jincheng has an appointment with his father and the client this evening. The client is a friend of his father's real estate business owner, surnamed Jiang. This time, he is going to file a big lawsuit with a bid of 2 million yuan. He wants to entrust his father to represent him in the lawsuit, so he invites them to dinner .

Who would have thought that Xie Jincheng's court session today was not going well, and the other party's lawyers were quite difficult to deal with, making the originally simple case very complicated, and the court session did not end until 05:30 in the afternoon.On the way to the dinner place, there was a traffic control, and Xie Jincheng was blocked halfway, unable to advance or retreat.

Seeing that the agreed meeting time was approaching, he had to call his father to explain the situation.

The father's irritated voice came out from the earpiece, so loud that even the music in the car was dumbfounded: "How many times have I told you to leave an hour early, leave an hour early, did you not listen to my words! "

"Dad, I've been in court until now, and I set off as soon as the session was over, but I didn't expect the traffic control." Since the last time he defied his father, Xie Jincheng was no longer willing to fight and suffer like before. The father was reasonable and pointed out that his father was wrong, but instead of making his father realize his mistake, it made his father punish him more severely for not being able to vent his anger, and the relationship between the two fell into a deadlock.

"All in all, come here quickly, don't make everyone wait for you!"

His father hung up the phone angrily, Xie Jincheng squeezed the steering wheel tightly and remained silent, only the tense veins on the back of his hands revealed his mood at the moment.

An hour later, Xie Jincheng rushed to the place to eat, and as soon as he opened the door of the box, he was scolded by his father.

"There are so many people waiting for you alone, you really embarrass me!"

The lively box suddenly fell into a dead silence.There were more than a dozen people in the box, except for Mr. Jiang, all of them were unfamiliar faces, and their clothes were full of luxury, but my father just sternly scolded them in front of everyone without any scruples.

His face was completely lost and his face was torn into thin slices. Xie Jincheng's temper cultivated by forbearance for many years allowed him to control his anger well. He walked to the seat next to his father without saying a word. Mr. Jiang also laughed apologetically, causing He takes his seat.

According to the normal development, he should sit next to his father and enjoy this unpalatable dinner in silence, but his father repeatedly provoked him to the bottom line of anger.

"What are you doing sitting here? That's your younger brother's position." Seeing that he was silent and didn't explain, his father became even more angry, his face was so dark that it was almost like a storm.However, there are not too many seats in the box, there is only one vacant seat, and this is Xie Zhanhong's seat, so what about Xie Jincheng?

The father paused, and then realized that he had missed the eldest son alone when counting the number of people. He asked the waiter to add a seat with a black face, and deliberately said for the sake of face: "I thought you wouldn't come, so I asked the waiter to remove the seat."

Xie Jincheng sneered mockingly.

His younger brother, Xie Zhanhong, was studying in a foreign university, and he was just on vacation. His father must have asked his younger brother to get to know these big bosses so that he could expand his network and inherit the family business in the future.As for him, it was just an accessory brought at President Jiang's request.

Soon, his brother Xie Zhanhong arrived.A sunny young boy with the most fashionable haircut, dressed in trendy clothes, tall and handsome, is a beautiful scenery wherever he goes.

Xie Zhanhong was a hip-hop dancer and played in a band. He had been hanging out with similar people abroad for a long time, and learned a glib tune, which made him more pleasing than the taciturn Xie Jincheng.As soon as he came, he politely greeted his uncle and aunt, which gave his father enough face.

President Jiang cheerfully said to his father, "Zhanhong has grown up. He was only that tall the last time I saw him. I haven't seen him for a few years, and he has grown into a tall, rich and handsome brother just like his brother. Both of your sons are well taught."

"Naughty boy, it's hard to teach." His father gave Xie Zhanhong a reproachful look, but his smile deepened, "Zhanhong, why did you come here so late?"

Xie Zhanhong thoughtfully took his father to a seat, poured tea for everyone, and said with a smile: "Dad, I don't want to either. I came here at three o'clock, and I was afraid that I would be late and delay everyone's dinner. Who knows that there is a traffic jam on the road, and I will leave after a long time No, I want to get out of the car and run over."

"Nonsense," my father scolded with a smile, "what are you running in the cold weather, be careful of freezing."

"I was afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't get out of the car and ran, that's why I was late. Uncles and aunts, I am late. I will punish myself with three glasses." After three glasses of white wine, everyone nodded and booed happily.

The smile on his father's face never stopped. Everyone praised Xie Zhanhong for being sensible, but no one focused on Xie Jincheng.

Also for being late, Xie Zhanhong could be forgiven and get his father's care, but what Xie Jincheng got was punishment and blank stares.Anyway, in the eyes of his father, Xie Jincheng was synonymous with "incompetent", and no matter what he did, it was a wrong choice.

There were sharp-eyed and slippery businessmen present, and they could clearly see the relationship between the three of them. Therefore, Xie Zhanhong had so much wine that he could hardly breathe, and the words of praise could be heard every minute and every second. It popped out of different people's mouths.

The proud son of heaven, the attention of all.

But Xie Jincheng was as obscure as the gravel in the stars all over the sky, dim and obtrusive, only a few people would toast to him meaningfully, and his attitude was very different from Xie Zhanhong's.

Afraid of Xie Jincheng's embarrassment, Xie Zhanhong immediately toasted Xie Jincheng.

"Brother, I respect you, you have worked hard to take care of your parents, thank you."

A smile appeared in Xie Jincheng's eyes, and he touched Xie Zhanhong's wine glass: "I wish you all wishes come true."

Mr. Jiang happily raised his glass to smooth things over: "Brother, you have really raised two good sons. Come, I respect you!"

The father toasted back: "It's nothing, the eldest son is not sensible and rude, don't mind."

For the eldest son alone, this meant a lot. Everyone looked at Xie Jincheng in embarrassment, but saw that his expression did not change. The lotus is not shaken by foreign affairs.

Everyone immediately admired Xie Jincheng's good temper and calm attitude.

After three rounds of drinking, he was numb from drinking and his tongue grew thick. Mr. Jiang talked about the case incessantly, saying how badly he was abused by the defendant and how dishonest the defendant was.To put it simply, Mr. Jiang affiliated himself with the defendant company to build real estate, and agreed with the legal representative of the defendant company that after the completion of the project, the legal representative of the defendant company would transfer the company's equity to Mr. Jiang. Who knew that after the completion of the project, The legal representative of the defendant company denied everything Mr. Jiang had done, and was unwilling to transfer the equity.

Mr. Jiang slapped the table and complained bitterly: "You said how could there be such a dishonest person who spent my money for nothing and didn't give me the equity, and didn't give me the money for the completion inspection and settlement. I'm at a loss. ! Zhanhong, do you think I can win if I sue him?"

Xie Jincheng and his father obviously wanted to entrust Xie Jincheng and his father, but he asked Xie Zhanhong instead. It can be seen that Mr. Jiang also has a steelyard in his heart and knows who is the future barrister.

However, everyone present, including his father, made a mistake. Xie Zhanhong did not have the talent to be a lawyer. Even though he was well-educated and quick-witted, he couldn't stand boring legal provisions. He liked music and dancing and planned to develop into the entertainment industry in the future. For this reason, he coaxed his father several times before coaxing his father to agree to take over the lawyer's work after he graduated from college.

He didn't have any lawyer's ink, so he asked his brother for help as a matter of course.With a smile on his face, he pretended to be listening and thinking seriously, but secretly patted Xie Jincheng under the table, showing a look of asking for help.

"Zhan Hong is new to the legal industry and is not familiar with it yet. I will answer for him. Regarding your question, the key to whether you can win the case is which side's evidence is more solid and convincing. Although affiliation is a common practice in the construction industry phenomenon, but in the final analysis, it is a violation that is not accepted by the law. If the evidence is not solid, the court will favor the more legal side when making a judgment. It's decided, Zhanhong doesn't dare to guarantee that he will win."

Mr. Jiang's face changed. He originally asked this question to get a reassurance of victory, but he didn't expect Xie Jincheng to tell the truth, which made him even more worried.

Seeing Mr. Jiang's state of mind, his father snapped at him more or less sharply: "The person is asking Zhan Hong, not you. What are you answering for him? Do you have any brains, huh? Do you need to think so much?" The voice was as loud as a bell, just when the waiter came in and opened the door, the scolding was spread along the corridor, and all the passing waiters could hear it.

There was silence in the box.

Xie Zhanhong was frightened by his father's attitude, and he hurriedly apologized to Xie Jincheng: "Brother, Dad didn't do it on purpose, it was my fault. Dad, don't be so fierce, brother, he just told the truth."

"He's just talking nonsense without thinking at all!" When his father saw Xie Zhanhong, he meant to blame him for scolding him severely, and his temper became angry because of his good face, and his temper became even worse. He pointed his finger at Xie Jincheng mercilessly, "Hey I didn't ask you, why did you interrupt, do you have a place to speak here?"

"Oh." Xie Jincheng smiled instead of anger. He picked up the goblet, swirled the red wine in the glass gracefully, as if he was chatting with his friends, "Dad, this is a public place, please give me some Face, thank you."

"I gave you face, why don't you give me face?" Father glared, "It's impolite, interrupted, talked nonsense, and now you're talking back to me!" Several accusations were laid down, as if Xie Jincheng was too numerous to write down. Humans have to be punished in public to calm the public down.

"Dad, you drank too much. Let's talk less. Brother is an adult, and he wants to save face. Let's talk about it when we go home." Xie Zhanhong looked at Xie Jincheng anxiously. He was familiar with Xie Jincheng's temper, the longer Xie Jincheng smiled, the more angry he became, "Brother, don't take it personally, Dad is drunk."

Xie Jincheng smiled all over his face: "Dad is really drunk, no one asked him, but he kept talking."

His father's face turned blue suddenly, and he couldn't catch his breath suddenly, gasping for breath, Xie Zhanhong jumped up anxiously, hugged his father's shoulders quickly, patted his father's back, and said reproachfully: "Brother, don't talk too much, He is our dad after all, and dad has asthma."

Xie Jincheng's smile suddenly subsided. He seemed to be thrown into the Antarctic ice cave. He was completely cold from head to toe, and even his beating heart froze. The word "father" can make him humble without reason?Can asthma become a reason for him to be abused in public without rebuttal?

His father blamed him, and everyone didn't help him, and now even his closest brother blamed him.At that moment, he felt that he was slowly sinking, sinking, sinking to the bottom of the valley, and when he looked up, there was darkness, and he could not see the sun, because the world had abandoned him, no one would reach out to him, and he could only wait in despair. Here, gradually die, decay, and finally become a mummy, except for a shriveled body like a walking dead, without soul and life.

Just when he was most desperate, a phone call made all his negative emotions explode.

The hissing and shouting on the other end of the phone resounded through the heart with strong pain.

"Ah—fucking debts, fucking making money, fucking living! If you die, you'll be fine, and all your troubles will be gone! I'm going to jump, you guys remember to collect my body, and burn me three times a day. Zhuxiang, give me my favorite beef..."

"Shimo?!" Xie Jincheng's face changed drastically, "Where are you! Don't get too caught up!"

"What kind of talent from Peking University, what kind of national pillar, are all bullshit, as long as you have no money or ability, you are a fucking coward!"

There was no response from the other end of the phone, the painful cries continued, and the surrounding voices were also very noisy.

Shi Mo wanted to commit suicide, and this call was obviously made by Shi Mo accidentally pressing it!

"Shi Mo, Shi Mo!" Xie Jincheng shouted sharply, his calm heart suddenly erupted like a volcano, like a tsunami and an earthquake, like the sky collapsing!That is the person he cherishes and loves the most, if even Shi Mo leaves him, his world will collapse completely.

He immediately grabbed his coat and rushed out.

When my father heard Shi Mo's name, he was furious. He slapped the table and stood up. He said angrily, "Where are you going! You are still in contact with that person!"

Xie Jincheng's footsteps stopped, his five fingers suddenly closed into fists, he clenched his phone tightly, and with the last trace of reason, he said: "As a father who doesn't treat his son as a son, you have no right to ask me about my affairs!"
