Sheng Minou looked at me, the frown between his brows flattened, and a sneer appeared on his lips.
"Very well," he said, "I hope you will do what you say."
This is a different time than before, and of course I will walk the talk.
I don't force, because there is no need to force; I don't entangle, because sooner or later you will fall into my arms by yourself.
"It must be." I smirked at him again and again, but he didn't bother to pay attention to me, and turned around to continue changing clothes.
Sheng Minou's back muscles are well-proportioned, with clear lines between the ups and downs, and his skin color is that kind of white that is close to sickness. It's so strange, it's so naked that he can't be naked anymore, but I feel that this back is more abstinent than wearing clothes for no reason.
She moved her fingers, and desperately suppressed the throbbing.
"Then...it's a deal." Afraid that my eyes would be too explicit to show my flaws, I could only look away quickly, and went to my row of cabinets with the keys in hand.
After taking a shower before coming out, Sheng Minou had already left.
Since Yao Jing refused to plead guilty, she must go through court trials again and again, and the lawyer's fee alone is a huge sum. After Wei Shi found out, he secretly took 100,000 in cash, wrapped it in a vest bag, and packed it in an ordinary shopping bag. He told me to go outside the store and forced it into my hand.
"Don't say I gave it to him, or he will definitely not want it." Wei Shi kept looking into the room like a thief.
I hugged the bag of money tightly, feeling the arduous mission I had never had before: "Why take cash, you can't transfer money?"
"I just took the account from another store today without depositing it in the bank." His expression changed suddenly, and he said quickly, "I've left it to you, I'm leaving." After saying that, he rubbed his feet with oil and ran run away.
As soon as I turned around, the store door was pulled open by Shen Xiaoshi, and his expression was also not very good.
He glanced at the bag in my arms and asked, "What is it?"
I felt guilty and hid behind my back: "It's nothing, he brought me... the shoes."
"Shoes?" Shen Xiaoshi didn't believe it at all. He reached behind me and snatched the bag. After opening it, he was stunned for a while, "So much money?"
There is nothing wrong with Qian, but I lied to him. Lying about an unnecessary matter is enough to show that the money has something to do with him.
He picked up a wad of money, raised his head and asked me with a sullen face, "San... Did Wei Shi give it to me?"
I shook my head no, I nodded no, I was too embarrassed to look at him.
"He just... wants to apologize to you."
"Apologize? With money?" He gritted his teeth, "Does he think I'm selling it?"
I was startled, and instantly felt that my eloquence had encountered an unprecedented Waterloo on his side, so I hurriedly changed my tune and said, "No, no, I made a mistake, and I made a mistake in conveying it! This is...he borrowed it from you, as a friend to you. A little help from you."
Shen Xiaoshi threw the money back vigorously, not acknowledging it.
"Who cares?"
He recited a sentence fiercely, turned around and chased Wei Shi with the bag of money, as if he wanted to return the money to the other party face to face.
Looking at his gradually away back, I couldn't help shaking my head and sighing.
The fate of Qingwan F4 in the future is hard to say.
Shen Xiaoshi went there for a full hour before returning. I saw that he was empty-handed and in a bad mood. I guessed that the money should be repaid, but the exchange of words between the two of them might not be so happy during the repayment process.
"Brother Feng, don't worry, I won't lose any of the money that should be given to Lawyer Sheng." Shen Xiaoshi said with a serious face, "Even if I sell my blood or kidney, I will still get the money out."
When I heard him say that, my head was going to hurt, and I waved my hands again and again: "No way, no way."
If he sells his blood and kidneys to make money, he might as well sell himself to Sheng Minou to repay his debts, everyone is happy anyway.
In the afternoon, Shen Xiaoshi asked for leave, saying that Sheng Minou wanted him to go over to discuss the strategy for the next trial. As a friend, and as a "fisherman" who was luring gulls, I expressed my desire to go with him.
Liu Yue was the only one left in the pawnshop, so she couldn't open normally, so she had to close the shop early.
When we arrived at Jinshang Law Firm, the front desk ushered us into the meeting room. As soon as we entered the door, we saw not only Sheng Minou and Wu Yi sitting there, but also three other lawyers.
Shen Xiaoshi sat at the conference table with them, and I found a chair to sit in the corner as before, watching quietly.
"Mr. Shen, we are going to ask Dr. Xu Weibo from Qingwan Mental Health Center to do a psychological evaluation for your mother, Ms. Yao Jing." Wu Yi slid a form to Shen Xiaoshi, "If the results show that she is mentally unstable, Or extreme depression, which we can use as a starting point for a new defense."
Shen Xiaoshi saw and scanned the item, and quickly signed it in the lower right corner.
"In addition, we want to use the media to stir up the case." A female lawyer said, "Domestic violence is a very good topic and will attract considerable attention."
"The media?" Shen Xiaoshi was puzzled, "Why did you do this?"
"actually… "
"Because it can be a win-win situation." The female lawyer was still thinking about how to explain to Shen Xiaoshi, and Sheng Minou took her words.
He leaned forward, clasped his fingers, placed them on the table, looked directly at Shen Xiaoshi and said, "Through public attention, we can promote the progress of the trial better and faster, and our law firm can also advertise for free. Good reputation. Why not do it?"
Shen Xiaoshi seemed a little hesitant. After all, the media's involvement meant that the case would be put under the nose of the public for others to comment on. Even if you code anonymously, there is no guarantee that it will not have an impact on your future life.
I have attended many of their meetings, so I know a little bit about it, so I reminded Shen Xiaoshi in a low voice: "Xiaoshi, the direction of public opinion may also affect the jury."
Although the jury has sworn to make its own independent judgment, it will not be influenced by any external objects. But under the overwhelming public opinion offensive, who can really guarantee that they will not be shaken unless they are isolated from the world and don't listen or watch
I felt Sheng Minou looked over, so I looked at him reservedly and nodded at him.
Unlike the past when I couldn't turn my eyes away as long as Sheng Minou was around, this time when I entered the meeting room, my eyes were mainly focused on Shen Xiaoshi, and it was only now that I looked at him.
No matter what I thought in my heart, on the outside, my eyes did not follow him anymore.
I had carefully laid a trap that looked harmless, random, and silent. I know my gull is very sensitive, as long as my eyes show a little eagerness, and my movements go beyond the slightest, he will be vigilant. So I need to be very careful to catch him completely.
"Since it's a win-win situation, should the lawyer's fee be waived?" I began to negotiate the price for Shen Xiaoshi, "The benefit brought by such a big advertisement is more than just the lawyer's fee. In general, you still earn money. "
Wu Yi laughed and said, "You can't say that..."
"Yes." Sheng Minou interrupted him and readily agreed.
Wu Yi shut up all of a sudden, cupped her hands at me for a while and said, "You're right!"
As soon as Shen Xiaoshi heard that the lawyer's fees would be waived, his expression brightened instantly, and he exchanged glances with me, showing joy on his face.
Shen Xiaoshi said: "Okay, I will do as you said."
They continue their meetings, and I regress back into being a wallflower.
Suddenly the phone vibrated and received a friend request. I saw it was Zheng Mimi's.
I quickly passed the request, Zheng Mimi was still online, and immediately sent a sentence: "Junior brother, you invited me to eat ham last time, this time I will treat you to a big meal."
Invite me to a big meal
I frowned a little bit, and said inexplicably, "I don't need to ask you back."
After a while, Zheng Mimi sent an emoji with tears in her eyes, and finally told the truth.
"I don't want to invite you specifically. Do you remember the charity dinner I told you about last time? It's next month. I wanted my cousin's husband to be my male companion, but he ruthlessly refused. I again I'm afraid that if you invite a boy around you casually, he will think too much, and it will be very annoying. But you won't, after all, you belong to yourself."
It turned out that this was the case, it was false to invite me to dinner, but it was true to ask me to help.
"It's okay without a male companion..."
"No! I already told my cousin that I want to bring a super handsome boy to the dinner party, and Haikou has boasted about it. You want me to be my unlearned, spendthrift, and super annoying cousin Is it a joke?"
After a while, maybe seeing that I didn't reply for a long time, she felt that it was difficult to impress me, so she launched a unique trick - voice acting like a baby.
"Please, brother, you know, you are the most handsome boy in my heart. I really can't think of anyone else who is worthy of being my male partner except you. You are so special, so special Bright, so different, since you and I have met among all living beings, it is fate, so you are not willing to help me with this little favor?"
Because I was in a meeting, I converted this article into text, and after reading it, I was about to type to reject it, when I heard Sheng Minou's calm and steady speech, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I suddenly changed my mind.
Turning the volume of the phone to the maximum, I clicked on Zheng Mimi's voice message.
"Please, junior brother..."
In an instant, a sweet and soft female voice suddenly sounded in the meeting room, and everyone was taken aback when they heard it, and stopped their movements to look at me in unison.
Inside, Sheng Minou's gaze was extremely cold, as if he was very dissatisfied that I interrupted his meeting.
Whoops, the king is angry.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I got up quickly, clutched my phone and walked out embarrassedly, pretending to press the speaker by mistake while talking on the phone, and said softly, "Wait, I'll talk outside."
Passing behind Shen Xiaoshi, I patted him on the shoulder lightly, pointed to the door, and signaled myself to go outside to answer the phone.
Shen Xiaoshi was also stunned by the nasty voice just now, and it took him a long time to react and nodded at me.
All the way, I pretended to hold my mobile phone and turned into the safe passage, and I let go only after making sure no one was there.
I couldn't go back within five minutes, so I took out my cigarette case and simply lit a cigarette in the safe passage.
Sitting on the steps, I clicked on the chat box, and after Zheng Mimi's voice message, I replied her with a simple "OK" gesture.
Zheng Mimi was overjoyed and kept thanking me.
"No, thank you." I smiled and exited the chat software.
