At three o'clock in the afternoon, Judge Christine ruled to accept the case, accepted the plaintiff's lawsuit request, and issued a temporary injunction to immediately freeze the property involved.
Kawashima Qi then requested that because the defendants in this case involved more than a dozen individuals and companies, they needed time to communicate with each other, and many of them were in Yingzhou, so he asked the judge to give him more time to prepare.
Christine granted his request and gave the defendant twenty days.
Lu Ming did not express any objection. To be honest, this case created a new history. The local court of the First Federation, the Kingdom of Griffinni, interfered with the internal affairs of other federations.
Therefore, it is understandable to give the defendant sufficient time to prepare.
But this is the case with courts at all levels in the kingdom. They are all very independent. The Court of Appeal or the High Court can overturn the judgment of a lower court, but they have no power to interfere with what cases the lower courts hear.
…
The next day, after adjusting his schedule, Lu Ming managed to squeeze out a morning and arrived at Fernald College.
The school has officially started, it’s time to show your head, otherwise you will really have to go to Form 1.
I really can't see what connection this school has with my family.
However, it may be a good thing to discover things slowly and wait for things to develop naturally.
Especially, judging from what Biju said, the secret of her family might be a shocking secret, and when she really discovered it, there would be no turning back.
For the time being, it is more important to accumulate my own strength. Everything I do now is to prepare for returning to the north to confront my enemy head-on. If the secret of my family is more terrifying, it is not a bad thing to discover it later.
The head teacher, Ms. Lin, was a pretty young woman, very enthusiastic and gentle. She talked non-stop to Lu Ming on the way, and it seemed that she wanted to ease Lu Ming's nervousness or embarrassment.
"You are not the oldest in the class. The 'big guy' in our class is twenty-one this year, and he only started the first grade of primary school when he was thirteen." Teacher Lin said with a smile.
Lu Ming nodded in agreement, just wanting this road to reach the end quickly.
"And the youngest in our class, who is also the best student, is only thirteen years old and has skipped two classes!"
Lu Ming forced a smile in response.
"Are you working as a servant in someone's house? So, your time to study is limited?" Teacher Lin asked again with concern.
Seeing that Lu Ming was silent, Teacher Lin said softly, "Teacher Wang told me about your situation. If you have any difficulties, you might as well tell me. I will definitely help you if I can!"
Lu Ming sighed inwardly, it was the patient and instructive teacher Wang from the Academic Affairs Office.
Finally, Lu Ming's eyes lit up, and he finally saw the horizontal doorplate of Class 3, Grade 2 in front of him.
The classroom was originally noisy, but as soon as Teacher Lin came in, it immediately became very quiet.
"Come, sit here!" Teacher Lin led Lu Ming to the last row and said, "Meizhen is a good student and is our class monitor. If you have any questions, you can ask her! She is the classmate Jin Meizhen who skipped two grades that I mentioned on the way!" He then said to the tall figure who had stood up, "Meizhen, this is the classmate Qianxing I told you about. You have to help him improve, okay?"
Teacher Lin looked at the students who were looking back eagerly, and raised his voice slightly, "The new student is Lu Qianxing, everyone get along well."
Lu Ming was not allowed to introduce himself, so as to avoid embarrassment. He was in Form 3 last year, but not only did he not advance to Form 4, he had to repeat a grade in Form 2 instead.
"Student Lu Qianxing, please take a seat!" A clear and pleasant voice came from the side. Lu Ming looked over and was slightly startled. Why did he look so familiar
This small, narrow face is particularly charming.
Where have you seen this before
Oh, it’s Bess’s best friend at school. They look like they were cut from the same mold. They’re about the same height, quite tall.
Kim Mi-jeong? Yes, that one, it seems to be Kim Mi-yeon. I have an impression of it. I think that snake-like face is really like a beauty filter in the future, so she is also called Mi-yeon, so I remember it.
Now this little face with delicate eyebrows and long hair has a pointed and charming face shape, but it is delicate and tender, and the temperament is completely different, giving people a very pure and lively feeling.
Are they sisters? Twins
Yes, at that time Bis asked, was Kim Mi-yeon here to see her elder sister or younger sister
But how come one goes to an aristocratic school and the other goes to a charity school filled with mostly poor students
Even if my parents are divorced, it shouldn't be like this, right
Lu Ming sat down and looked at Jin Meizhen curiously from time to time. The two sisters had completely different temperaments. Jin Meizhen was wearing the school uniform of Fernald College, a very traditional one, with a light blue jacket, a knee-length black skirt, white socks with laces, and black cloth shoes. She looked extremely pure, bookish, beautiful and quiet.
"Brother Qianxing, why are you looking at me strangely?" Jin Meizhen was very calm and confident, staring at Lu Ming curiously with her big, watery eyes.
"Oh, it's okay." Lu Ming waved his hand.
Soon, the lullaby came. It was the first math class. Lu Ming had just learned about negative numbers and soon fell on the desk, thinking about Gui Linghua's case. Maybe he slept late yesterday and got up too early today, so he felt a little tired; or maybe it was the routine in the classroom, and there was always sleepiness everywhere. Gradually, Lu Ming felt that he could hardly open his eyelids.
Suddenly, Lu Ming was startled and sat up straight, but it was the bell for the end of get out of class that rang.
"Brother Qianxing, this is the key point of this class, take a look!" Jin Meizhen placed a notebook in front of Lu Ming and stuck out her tongue: "Sometimes, the teacher repeats the same thing over and over again, afraid that people won't understand. Sometimes I also feel sleepy."
Lu Ming was stunned. Jin Meizhen's notebook looked very worn out, but the handwriting on it was very neat and densely packed without leaving any empty space. It was obvious that Jin Meizhen cherished it very much and tried her best to make the best use of it.
"Brother Qianxing, negative numbers are actually very easy to understand..."
Lu Ming waved his hands helplessly, "I understand. Negative 100 plus negative 100 equals negative 200, and negative 100 plus 50 equals negative 50."
"Okay!" Jin Meizhen looked very happy and said, "It will take a few more classes to get to the addition and subtraction of negative numbers. During these classes, if you fall asleep, I will help you keep an eye on the teacher."
Lu Ming thought to himself that he didn’t know when he would see me next time, and nodded: “Thank you!”
This little girl is still likable. She is graceful and smart.
"The next class is the study of matter, which talks about the chemical and physical changes of matter... Brother Qianxing, did you learn well here before..." Jin Meizhen suddenly covered her mouth, as if she had said something wrong.
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment and then understood that it must be Teacher Lin who told her in advance to improve her academic performance and also said that she was in a reduced class. So, she looked at which subjects she was lacking in and which ones she had to repeat, so she had a better understanding of them, and then she prescribed the right medicine to help herself improve.
But he accidentally let it slip that he knew his class had been shortened.
Lu Ming was helpless and said: "It's nothing. I was in the third grade last year and the second grade this year. There's nothing to be ashamed of..." He originally wanted to tell the little girl not to worry too much.
But who would have known that when he said this, the teacher of Gewu happened to come in. The originally buzzing classroom suddenly became quiet, and Lu Ming's words seemed particularly harsh.
Everyone immediately turned around and looked at Lu Ming as if he were a monster.
Then, some people started laughing.
"Quiet!" Teacher Gewu frowned and glanced at Lu Ming who was sitting in the last row. "Student Lu Qianxing, I hope you won't affect classmate Jin Meizhen's studies and won't hold her back!"
As a male teacher, he naturally likes the female students who are good at studying, smart and beautiful. As for the poor students who were downgraded, it would be better to destroy them humanely.
"Okay!" Lu Ming agreed.
The teacher was stunned and looked at Lu Ming deeply. He immediately realized that it would be difficult to scold this student again.
Most children, at this time, would either show inferiority complex or anger, but this one was different. He actually responded to me very straightforwardly and frankly. Well, this guy needs to be appeased.
The bell rang for the fourth class, and Lu Ming stood up, thinking that he would show up again in half a month.
The students all rushed out, with the sound of various rice bowls clattering. Moreover, the corridor outside was like an earthquake. Naturally, everyone ran to the cafeteria, wanting to be at the front of the line.
Lu Ming smiled, as if nothing was different from his previous life.
Turning around, he was slightly startled, but saw that Jin Meizhen did not move, but took out a very clean handkerchief from the desk, which contained a hard bun. Seeing Lu Ming looking at her, Jin Meizhen was very calm, took a small bite of the bun, swallowed it, and saw that Lu Ming had not left yet, so she smiled and said, "Brother Qianxing, you have to come in the afternoon! I heard from Teacher Lin that you don't come here many times a year, right?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Isn't the subsidy given by the school enough? Why don't you apply for more? At least it should be enough for you to eat meals with vegetables in the cafeteria, right?" It seemed that discussing this topic with her was not sensitive, and this little girl didn't seem to care.
"Oh, I've saved my allowance. I want to use it after I get into college. I should be able to get a full scholarship, but going to college, broadening my horizons, and becoming an excellent student seems to be very expensive. I've also applied for a work-study program and clean the classroom every day." Jin Meizhen smiled at Lu Ming, "Brother Qianxing, how much do you make as a servant a month? Do you have to support your family? It's hard, right?"
Lu Ming nodded, "Not bad!" He glanced at her, turned around and walked out of the classroom.
In the afternoon, when he did not go to school but went to Room 408 to meet relevant witnesses, Lu Ming actually felt a vague sense of guilt.
