i gave myself away

"Why didn't you say he was your father just now?" Shi Mo growled in horror after returning home, "I thought it was the person involved, so I said that about him. If I had known it was your father, I wouldn't have helped you."

"Many people say that we are carved out of the same mold." The implication is that you are wrong, so don't blame me.

Shi Mo suddenly lost his voice, his bulging eyes were like frogs, staring as big as beans.

"You can scold him, let him wake up." Xie Jincheng pushed open the closed window, and a gust of cold wind rushed in, filling the whole house with chills, "He came to me and asked for 100 million alimony , I refused to give it to him, so he got angry and made a scene at the door.

Heh, I have doubled the expenses they paid for raising me back then. Before I left home, I also said that I don’t want any of the things they gave me.They have money and don't need alimony at all, it's just squeezing my value. "

Shi Mo opened his arms awe-inspiringly: "Come on, give you a loving hug."

Xie Jincheng hugged Shi Mo: "Don't talk about me. It's quite abnormal for you to curse people today." His eyes seemed to penetrate Shi Mo's heart, so sharp that people couldn't look directly at them, "What happened?"

Shi Mo looked away from Xie Jincheng guiltily, but said nicely: "It's nothing, I just love fighting against injustice and being righteous!"

"Really?" Xie Jincheng poked Shi Mo's cheek playfully, "Your thoughts are written all over your face, the case was lost, and Jiang Jing made things difficult for you again?"

The vigor that he had built up was smashed to pieces, and the pride that the hero had condensed just now turned into powder, and Shi Mo wanted to fight: "Nonsense, how could Lawyer Shi lose the lawsuit, it's just, it's... ..." what?Losing the lawsuit is losing the lawsuit, there is no other result, Shi Mo lowered his eyes in frustration, all the reasons he had thought up were too flimsy to withstand a single blow, and they would come to naught with just one touch.

"Give me the verdict."

After receiving the verdict handed over by Shi Mo, Xie Jincheng turned to the court's point of view at the back, and after reading it carefully, he patted Shi Mo's head with the verdict: "Appeal."

"It's not my turn to represent the appeal, right?" Shi Mo pouted, "How could she still find me after losing the lawsuit? If it wasn't for you, she wouldn't let me represent her."

"Why, give up?"

Shi Mo muttered: "Who said I gave up, I'm just stating the facts."

"No lawyer can win a lawsuit for a lifetime, and I am the same. The reason why the outside world boasts that I have never lost a lawsuit is because the definition of my failure is different from the public's understanding. I personally think that as long as my defense reasons affect the court's decision, If the court does not fully support all the other's claims, then I will win the case. Of course, there is another reason, I will not accept any case that loses at first glance, but you are still far away from this step."

Xie Jincheng taught earnestly: "The case is heard by a judge. As long as it is a human-involved act, it must be subjective. The same case may have different judgment results. Before the result comes out, I believe there must be voices supporting your side. , It’s just that the voice is too weak to resist the voices against you, which led to the loss. Remember, losing the lawsuit is not a denial of your ability, but a motivation for you to continue to persevere. Applying to the procuratorate for a protest, or even taking the path of sex, as long as you uphold justice, there will be hope one day. I once represented an old case. The party lost the first instance and the second instance ten years ago, and the application for retrial was rejected. Afterwards, the party persevered in petitioning. Last year, when the central inspection team came to our province for inspection, the party submitted the first materials, and the case went to the High Court. Finally, the High Court raised the trial and changed the sentence. "

Shi Mo said in surprise: "The ten-year long march, the baby has grown up, and he can persist for so long."

"The client was wronged. It is not my credit that he won the lawsuit. I just helped him add a few petitions based on the raw materials. The reason why he won the lawsuit is that the court gave him justice. You are the party of justice. I believe the court will always I will support you, if you fail in the first trial, you will go to the second trial, apply for retrial, and apply for a protest at the procuratorate, and continue to fight."

Xie Jincheng's words flowed into the bottom of his heart like a trickle, washing away the dust and dirt, Shi Mo woke up like a dream, had a great realization, and the knot in his heart was also loosened.

He thought for a while and murmured in a low voice: "However, I was not in good condition in the court session that day and I performed abnormally. I am also responsible."

Xie Jincheng was taken aback for a moment, Shi Mo would be fully prepared every time the court session was held, and his complexion was kept in the best condition. Looking back, he realized that he was the culprit: "Is it too late for me to say 'I'm sorry' now?"

"It's too late. You want to compensate me 500 million yuan for mental damage, so it's decided, and it will be deducted from the arrears." Shi Mo's spirit was lifted, and when money was mentioned, his whole body glowed with a strange look.

Xie Jincheng was very helpless, and hugged Shi Mo even tighter: "I'm sorry, I will pay more attention next time."

"I still want to have a next time," Shi Mo struggled awkwardly, "One time is not enough."

"Indeed, the first time is only once."

When mentioning that time, Shi Mo immediately blushed. That experience was so comfortable. In the following month, Xie Jincheng had the cheek to do it with him a few times. His body became dependent on Xie Jincheng. So far, he He still has a sense of accomplishment, that is, he has not confessed his love yet and agreed to be with Xie Jincheng.This is his last bargaining chip. If he opens his mouth, he will definitely lose to Xie Jincheng for the rest of his life.

Shi Mo went to Yang Ping and gave her the verdict.

"I hope I can continue to represent the case of the second instance." Shi Mo looked directly at Yang Ping's changed expression after reading the verdict, and said his request seriously.

Yang Ping closed the verdict, and subconsciously stroked the bracelet with her fingertips: "Lawyer Shi, I am very glad that you are willing to represent us. You are a friend of an old classmate, and I also regard you as a friend. I think since we are friends, you You don't mind if I speak bluntly?"

Shi Mo's eyelids twitched, coming, he must be criticized: "Of course I don't mind."

"Lawyer Shi, you are an outstanding lawyer. I know that you have won many lawsuits, but the legal industry includes too many laws and regulations. Not every lawyer is proficient in all types of cases. There are always areas where you are good and bad. I am not denying your excellence, but that you may not be very good at this type of cases or what is the reason that prevents you from playing your due level. In fact, I think you It is a shame to do our case, if it is not an old classmate, you may not take our case that is not suitable for you, I am sorry for this, I think you should do a better and better case."

Yang Ping said it very thoughtfully, she didn't accuse Shi Mo directly, nor did she directly refuse, but used a more tactful way to maintain Shi Mo's self-esteem.

Shi Mo smiled gratefully, opened his mouth and said, "Thank you, Manager Yang, I still hope that you can give me a chance to continue representing the second trial and make up for my mistakes. I don't need to charge any lawyer's fees. Lawyers are just assistants, not Decision makers, no lawyer can guarantee that their case will win. How the case is judged is determined by the judge based on the comprehensive facts and evidence. They will only use our opinions as a reference but not necessarily adopt them all. Losing a case does not necessarily mean that a lawyer Incompetent, besides, I also submitted a proxy statement after the trial, supplementing my unexplained point of view in the trial. You were also present at the trial, and you have read the materials I wrote. Is my level so bad that you are completely disappointed? , I believe you can also judge. I am willing to take any responsibility for my mistakes during the trial process. If you are willing to entrust me to continue to represent, I will not charge any lawyer fees. I just hope that you will not deny my ability because of this. .”

Yang Ping stared at Shi Mo's eyes without blinking. Those eyes seemed to be filled with fiery dragons, full of boiling fighting spirit and hope. She hadn't seen such eyes for a long time. In a materialistic society, she really worked hard for her work. There are almost few people in the world, and people start to take detours, go through the back door, and exhaust all kinds of unrighteous ways to obtain the desired benefits.

"Honestly speaking, I also see your ability. Maybe I am more serious personally. I can't see any mistakes. I'm sorry." Yang Ping sighed, she was very puzzled, "Actually, I don't understand why you are so persistent? You If you find me through the relationship of old classmates, I will definitely agree to you."

"To put it bluntly, I hope you think highly of me," Shi Mo expressed his thoughts bluntly, "Don't think that I'm a trash who can only rely on relationships and has no ability."

Yang Ping was silent, Shi Mo's firmness and bravery were sucked into her chest bit by bit like air molecules, into her heart, she touched the bracelet on her wrist bitterly, the luster of the artificial gems faded, and it was no longer as dazzling as before Eye-catching, and the diamonds on Shimo's watch still exude dazzling brilliance.

"Sometimes I'm jealous of you." Yang Ping picked up the water cup and took a sip of tea with a wry smile. The tea was freshly brewed green tea. I don't know if it was because of her mood or because the tea leaves were put in too much. Putting down the water glass, he swallowed the tea with difficulty, "Obviously I am an old classmate who has known him for more than ten years and has a good relationship. Why does he know more about you than me. I asked him jokingly, if you lose the lawsuit What to do. He told me very firmly that you will definitely take the initiative to find me and request to continue to represent the second trial. I asked him, won’t you go to his relationship for help? I remember he laughed at that time, and he shook his head and told I, no, your self-esteem does not allow it, you are a brave and strong person, you must hope to work hard on your own to gain my approval. He really knows you very well, and he has even figured out your thoughts. "

Shi Mo scratched his temple in embarrassment: "Uh, we are friends after all."

Yang Ping looked at Shimo's watch with a wry smile. The strap was luxurious and noble, and the dial was shining with stars. It was obviously not something a lawyer of Shimo's level could afford: "Do you think I will believe that you are just friends? After drinking, he asked You sent him back, and you sent him to the airport. When I chatted with you, I was full of praise. You were almost the person he talked about. At first, I didn’t believe this fact, but my eyes made me have to Believe me, forgive me for asking, when did you start?"

"Uh, actually we don't have that kind of relationship." Shi Mo paused, it wasn't that kind of relationship, what was it?There are kisses, hugs, caresses, and even skin-to-skin contact, but would it be so intimate if it was just a sexual relationship?In fact, he was just stubborn and refused to admit it, but he had already admitted the relationship between the two in his heart.Let him think about when he was tempted, it seems that he wanted to commit suicide, or maybe earlier, if the starting point is to start with the gratification of two feelings, then carefully calculate...

"About half a year."

Their hearts have been together for half a year.
