You’re My Belated Happiness

After the video call ended, Ruan Yu closed his laptop, tired as if he had just finished 800 meters.

At the end of the conversation, Xu Huaisong asked her to make a preliminary comparison of the works of the two parties in the directions mentioned just now, combined with the original anti-color palette, and organize them into documents, and asked her how long it would take.

She said three days after estimating.

This estimate is the speed at which the blood was beaten, and it was necessary to freeze an "old cervical spine" with high-intensity work throughout the whole process. Ruan Yu was already mentally prepared, but Xu Huaisong seemed to be very busy, saying that he would have time to follow up after a week. case.

She relaxed her self-requirements and even accepted Shen Mingying's invitation to go out after finishing her work on the seventh day.

Shen Mingying pulled her out to go shopping and relax. She deliberately didn't worry about her troubles all the way. Instead, she asked her if she was wearing clothes in front of Xu Huaisong.

She looked like "the world is not worth it": "No, but I want a video tomorrow..."

Shen Mingying smiled wildly.

The two of them went shopping for a day, with large bags on their arms, and they were about to go home in the evening, and they arrived at the last perfume counter on the battlefield.

Still energetic, Shen Mingying rushed in and asked Ruan Yu to try two bottles with her finger, and then went to pick her own money.

The shopping guide came up and spoke the introduction while spraying the perfume on the test paper, shaking it twice and handing it to the tip of Ruan Yu's nose.

Floral and fruity perfume, the top notes of citrus and lime fruit are refreshing, like the taste of summer in the memory, clear and bright, but also faintly brewing a bit of bitterness that will eventually be fulfilled.

It was comfortable at first, but the moment Ruan Yu bowed his head was stagnant.

It was not because of the fragrance, but because she felt that her back was cold, and it seemed that someone was looking at her behind her.

The shopping guide watched her meal and mistakenly thought she didn't like the taste, so he picked up another bottle instead.

She glanced back at the trend and found nothing wrong. Shen Mingying, who was no longer in the distance, was trying the fragrance and was able to try her energies.

Ruan Yu suppressed his doubts, and after trying a few bottles in a row, the creepy discomfort became stronger and stronger.

She waved to the shopping guide to indicate that she was no longer needed, and was about to go to Shen Mingying, when she suddenly heard a surprised female voice behind her: "Sister Ruan, it's really you!"

Ruan Yu turned his head and saw a thin, petite girl carrying LV's "lunch bag" and beckoning to her.

A bit familiar, but not so recognizable at a glance, she hesitated: "Excuse me, are you?"

The little girl seemed to be frustrated for a moment, but she quickly raised her interest and came forward: "I'm Cen Sisi, senior sister, don't you remember me?"

Cen Sisi? Ruan Yu's brain was swiftly running, and he was stunned for a while to piece together that little memory.

Oh, it seems to be a direct school girl of her third grade. I first met at the school meeting. She attended the new orientation meeting as a senior "old man", and she chatted a few more words when she met someone in the same department. But afterwards, apart from a chance to say hello on the road, there were no special contacts.

Cen Sisi smiled and showed a pair of tiger teeth: "It's been a long time, I just sneaked at you for a long time, I was afraid of admitting it!" After a pause, he said, "I didn't expect you to stay in Hangzhou after graduation."

At this point, Shen Mingying came over after picking up the perfume. She did not recognize Cen Sisi when she was in a different school from Ruan Yu in the same city. Ruan Yu introduced both sides.

The three blocked a section of the passage, and the pedestrians passed by, Ruan Yu hurriedly avoided.

Cen Sisi also seemed to realize that this is not the place to talk, and said, "Sister Ruan, we happened to happen by chance, shall we sit on the top floor?"

Ruan Yu glanced at Shen Mingying. Just now the two expected to return after picking up the perfume. Shen Mingying has already contacted her boyfriend to pick it up. It is estimated that it will be here soon.

"Then you renew the past, I will withdraw first?" She made a decisive decision, "I will send you this big bag and small bag back to the apartment, anyway."

When her boyfriend drove over, Ruan Yu was not polite with her, and turned around to go to a dessert shop on the top floor with Cen Sisi.

In fact, she didn't think the two had any "old" or "narrative" and couldn't stop the enthusiasm, so she invited her to eat some desserts and talked about the latest situation.

Because she considered herself unfamiliar, she didn't talk much. When asked about her career, she answered vaguely: "It's a freelance job."

Cen Sisi "wow": "Is it a writer?"

This association is not obtrusive, because both of them are from Chinese.

Ruan Yu said: "It's not really an ordinary writer." Because she didn't want to be asked for her pen name, she took the initiative and changed the subject after she said, "What about you, what job did you find after graduation?"

Cen Sisi bit the straw, feeling a little embarrassed: "I, I work at home and company."

Ruan Yu just wanted to say "it's good too", so he heard the phone ringing.

It's from Liu Mao.

She was afraid of something important, so she got up and said, "Excuse me, answer the phone."

Cen Sisi glanced over the words "Lawyer Liu" on her screen and nodded: "What are you polite? You are busy."

Ruan Yu got on the phone outside the shop and heard the other side say: "I just got news from the court, and the case has progressed to the stage of adding a defendant."

Liu Mao is very efficient. He filed a complaint with the court six days ago and applied for an investigation order. The object of the lawsuit was Weibo at first, and after the court accepted the case, it asked the platform to provide information about the infringer. It is impossible for the operator to assume responsibility for it and must cooperate with the investigation.

Now he probably has the identity information of the writer "Su Cheng".

"It's fine, thank you very much," Ruan Yu said.

"What are you polite? I'm not here to ask for credit. I want to ask you personally. I don't know if it's a coincidence. You may know the defendant."

Ruan Yu was taken aback: "Know?"

"Yes, I heard Uncle Ruan say before that you graduated from Hangzhou University, right? The defendant is of the same family as you, and your name is Cen Sisi for three terms. Do you have any impression?"

Ruan Yu: "..."

This dog's blood was really caught off guard.

She subconsciously tilted her head to the French window of the dessert shop. Cen Sisi was looking at her while biting the straw, and when she saw her, he smiled at her.

The lips are red and the teeth are white, and the apricot eyes are dripping bright.

Ruan Yu smiled back at her, and when Liu Mao asked "what's the matter", he turned his eyes and said, "...I have dessert with her."

Now Liu Mao choked.

She calmed down, told the story again, and asked: "You mean, from the Internet storm to the occasional encounter today, maybe it's not a coincidence?"

Speaking of this, Liu Mao hadn't answered yet, she herself shuddered first, and she had strong goose bumps.

"Do not rule out this possibility."

"But I don't remember any holidays with her during school..."

"Thinking kindly, maybe it's just a coincidence, but if it's not, don't panic. You tell me first, does she know who you are talking to?"

Ruan Yu recalled: "Maybe I saw the remarks I gave you. It was written as'Lawyer Liu'."

"Then you can talk frankly and openly with her."

Ruan Yu frowned. She hasn't been relieved yet, is she going to swipe the knife?

"If she doesn't know your pen name, since you have this relationship, then I suggest to mediate privately and strive for a settlement plan that maximizes your interests, which is better than going to court. The litigation process is too time-consuming, compared to other In lawsuits, it is especially appropriate to defend the right of reputation sooner rather than later."

"But if she has a bad intention from the beginning, then the three words'Lawyer Liu' are enough for her to guess what you are preparing. Besides, she should have received a notice from the court in the past two days, and soon you will have to open the skylight as well. , There is no longer a problem of stunning snakes..."

Liu Mao explained in detail, after Ruan Yu hung up the phone, he bit the bullet and pushed the door back to Xiuluochang.

These days, it's really overwhelming.

She recalled all the inconsistencies with "Su Cheng" in recent years, and tried to match those entanglements with this direct school girl. Before she could clarify them, she saw Cen Sisi turning her head and looking at her face and asked. : "Senior sister, what's the matter with you? His face is so ugly."

Ruan Yugan smiled, closed his eyes and closed his heart after sitting down, and opened the door: "School girl, do you have a pen name called Su Cheng in Jinjiang?"

Cen Sisi's eyes widened in surprise: "Senior Sister, are you a fairy?"

She cleared her throat: "I am not a god, I am Wenxiang."

Cen Sisi slammed to the edge of the glass, grinned and rubbed her hands with a grin. His eyes were so painful that they burst into tears. It took him a long time to relax, and said, "Senior sister, did you kid me?"

Ruan Yu was silent, slid his phone and turned to the Jinjiang page to show her.

She was dumbfounded: "The world is too small!" After saying that, she probably remembered the **** storm on the Internet, "The school sister, I was on Weibo before...I, I calm down..."

After she finished speaking, she held her palms and kept fanning her face, her face was flushed red, and it took a long time to sit up in distress: "Senior sister, this is a big misunderstanding. I knew Wenxiang was you. I would definitely not send that one. Long Weibo..."

According to Liu Mao's reminder, Ruan Yu had the upper hand in controlling the scene and said, "Why?"

"How could you do such a thing as plagiarism!" She seemed more outraged than Ruan Yu's book fan, but she quickly became discouraged again, "Senior sister, did you tell me?"

Ruan Yu listened to Liu Mao and nodded without evasiveness.

She narrowed her mouth: "Well, I was originally sorry for you..."

"I didn't want to make the matter a big deal either. If you think it's a misunderstanding, we can also consider reconciliation." Ruan Yu squeezed out a gentle smile.

"Really, Senior Sister?" Cen Sisi sighed for a long time, "That would be great. I have to let my dad know about this, and I must not scold me. If you are willing to forgive me, I will definitely apologize to you publicly and try to get rid of it. For the negative impact on you, I won’t be stupid in the future... You just let me be a cow and make up for it, and I will..."

"What a big deal," Ruan Yu interrupted her bold ambitions with a smile, "but I don't understand the reconciliation process. I have to ask a lawyer to talk to you. Tomorrow Monday, do you have time?"

Cen Sisi's face was embarrassed: "I may not be able to leave for the company's one-day meeting, or the day after tomorrow?"

"Row."

"Then the court..."

"I can contact them to postpone the process, you can rest assured."

Cen Sisi twisted her fingers and nodded, lowering her head not to look at her.

Seeing that she was so embarrassed, Ruan Yu exchanged WeChat and mobile phone numbers with her, and found an excuse to go home.

When she got to the apartment, she dialed Liu Mao's phone and told the whole conversation.

Liu Mao taught her to talk less and observe more on the last phone call. After listening, he asked, "In your opinion, did the defendant lie?"

Ruan Yu didn't want to think she was lying. Because if this is the case, looking back at the past few years, it would be really scary to think carefully.

But: "It's not good...Her series of reactions gave me a feeling of overstrength."

"I understand." Liu Mao said relievedly, "It doesn't matter, you did a good job, and I leave the rest to me... and Lawyer Xu will do."

Upon hearing Xu Huaisong’s name, Ruan Yu remembered the "war" to be fought tomorrow morning, and asked: "Now that the situation has changed, will the work of Lawyer Xu continue?"

Liu Mao pondered: "I'll explain the situation to him, so let's go as planned for the time being."

"Ok."

Ruan Yu sighed, hung up the phone, physically and mentally exhausted, went to bed early after the shower, and fell into the fear of being dominated by Xu Huaisong on time at 8 o'clock the next day.

Because she was thinking about Cen Sisi, when she turned on the video, she was not in a high mood and said absent-mindedly to the camera: "Lawyer Xu is early."

Xu Huaisong was still in the study room last time, and glanced out the window lightly: "It's not early."

She immediately realized that she had said something stupid and laughed.

Xu Huaisong looked at her, picked up the materials at hand, his tone was neither salty nor light: "I read the documents."

The document was sent to him by Ruan Yu before going out yesterday. She asked: "Do you see any problems?"

Xu Huaisong was about to answer, and suddenly saw a flash of WeChat, and it was Xu Huaishi again. He didn't intend to respond, but he glanced at her first half of the sentence: "Brother, that Su Cheng actually..."

Seeing that it was the business, he had to say "wait" to Ruan Yu and clicked on the news.

Ruan Yu listened boredly to his ups and downs until a quarter of an hour later, he found that her own side had a frequency with him.

I clicked on WeChat and saw that Liu Mao pulled them into a group.

He is posting pictures to the group, three in a row. The small picture is the Weibo private message interface, with a sentence behind it: "Two people, look at this."

Ruan Yu opened the big picture and laughed angrily.

This is a screenshot of a chat log from "The Poet Writer". The first picture shows that a Weibo trumpet calling herself "Su Cheng" actively contacted her, suggesting that she sue "Wenxiang" for copyright infringement, and Listed a lot of benefits of doing this.

"The poet writer" implied that he did not believe that she was "Su Cheng". In order to convince her, "Su Cheng" had to send a message in a large size to prove it.

Ruan Yu didn't hold onto the image of the lady when he was angry. He pointed to the screen and said, "It's really green tea?"

Xu Huaisong's expression was obviously stagnated.

She realized that she was out of state and stroked her bangs unnaturally: "I'm sorry, I'm excited."

But Xu Huaisong only blinked twice and asked, "What is green tea?"

He probably doesn't care much about domestic internet buzzwords. Ruan Yu gave a light cough and said solemnly: "It's the green tea I drink. My friend just sent me an online shopping link, hehe..."

Xu Huaisong opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, closed it again, and then opened Baidu.

Ruan Yu continued to click on the next two screenshots to see.

The chat record is an in-depth negotiation between the "Su Cheng" trumpet and the "Poet Writer". Finally, the latter said that she would contact a lawyer to consider the proposal in good faith.

But now that this chat record was in Liu Mao's hands, Ruan Yu thought, "The poet writer" should be her ally. This "sincere consideration" is probably a bluff.

She asked Xu Huaisong, "Lawyer Liu taught her to say that?"

Xu Huaisong wanted to say "it's him", but couldn't, so he nodded: "Maybe."

As the principal agent, it is not surprising that Liu Mao had contact with the key figure in the case, the "poet writer". Ruan Yu didn't think much about it, and asked, "Then what should I do next?"

"You ask Liu Mao." After he finished speaking, he hurriedly lowered his head and typed words without even looking at her.

Ruan Yu didn't pay much attention either, and sent a message in the group to ask Liu Mao.

It took a full two minutes before he replied: "If you are angry, block Cen Sisi's WeChat account."

"..." You can't get angry with this kind of elementary school students' tantrums, right?

She just wanted to say euphemistically, would this be too arrogant? It was because Xu Huaisong sent a message in the group: "Are you elementary school student?"

Zhikun Liu Mao: "...then what do you say?"

Xu Huai-song: "You go to assist the parties to do online evidence preservation."

Zhikun Liu Mao: "...Okay, then what?"

Xu Huaisong: "It's okay with you."

Ruan Yu felt once again that the relationship between Xu Huaisong and Liu Mao seemed really not good.

In order to alleviate the tension in the group, she typed: "Lawyer Liu, trouble!"

Liu Mao didn't even reply "you're welcome" and he was silent.

There Xu Huaisong knocked on the table and pulled her attention back: "Is there a defendant's phone number?"

She nodded: "Yes."

"Will the recording forensic meeting?"

Ruan Yu was taken aback, and quickly understood what he meant.

As Liu Mao said, it would be too stupid to break with Cen Sisi right away. She should pretend to be ignorant and talk to her. In this way, besides the chat record of "Writing the Poet", she will have one more in the court trial. A supporting certificate.

With this in mind, Ruan Yu couldn't help being in awe of Xu Huaisong's ingenuity, thinking that he was really more reliable than Liu Mao, and sat upright and said, "Not very well, can you teach me?"

"Ok."

On the other side, Liu Mao leaned lonely on the swivel chair, watching the private conversation he had with Xu Huaisong a few minutes ago, and sighed.

Xu Huai-song: "Later she will ask you what to do next, and you'll just stop the defendant out of anger."

Zhikun Liu Mao: "Why? Would you like to show some professionalism as a lawyer? At this time, you should collect evidence in an informal way."

Xu Huaisong: "I know, you can just answer as I say."

The author has something to say: But what did we Maomao do wrong? The red envelope on the tenth day was given to poor Mao Mao.

Song Song: This is what Baidu said, what is green tea bitch?

Mao Mao: Ha ha, you'll know by looking in the mirror.
