Qian Heng didn't finish all the dishes in the end, because Cheng Yao didn't give him this chance, she pursed her lips and tried her best to eat most of the food before Qian Heng, and more fortunately, a phone call from Huang Ran completely saved Qian Heng constant. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, after more than an hour of in-depth face-to-face, finally had a result.
"Lawyer Qian, I really don't know what to say." Huang Ran, who had delicate makeup when she came here, was so smeared by crying that she couldn't see it. Her eyes and nose were red and swollen, and she looked sad, but her eyes The hatred and hostility in it are gone.
Cheng Yao and Qian Heng rushed back to the hospital and saw such a scene.
Huang Ran came over and grabbed Qian Heng's hand: "Thank you, thank you for persuading me to come see Lin Li." She couldn't hold back her tears when she said this.
Cheng Yao looked at Chen Linli who was still sitting on the hospital bed and was weak. She had obviously cried just now. She looked at Cheng Yao and wanted to get up from the hospital bed and kowtow to Cheng Yao.
"Lawyer Cheng, thank you, thank you for allowing me and my mother-in-law to have this opportunity to have a good chat, thank you for solving this case in this way."
…
—
After Cheng Yao and Qian Heng left, Huang Ran and Chen Linli had an in-depth and candid chat for the first time. Huang Ran, who had seen the video of the accident before, knew in her heart that she had been blaming her daughter-in-law all along. She did have deep feelings for her son, but her distorted emotions, anger and pain had nowhere to vent. She subconsciously still regarded Chen Linli as an enemy and hated him. Look at her to make yourself feel better.
At the beginning of this meeting, Huang Ran still put on airs and hated her, but she didn't expect that when Chen Linli saw her, she didn't say anything, and she didn't even mention Kaili's separation. Lying on the hospital bed, tears came down.
In the end, she was just like herself, a person who had lost her son. Besides her son, she also lost her husband. No matter how big the hatred or the big misunderstanding before, at this moment, Huang Ran suddenly felt that it didn't matter, they were just two equally poor women in the world.
The two women didn't even say a word, just sat with each other, crying silently to each other.
Although he didn't say a word, at this moment, Huang Ran had reached a reconciliation with Chen Linli in his heart.
This is the woman his son loved the most during his lifetime, and she really gave up on herself when the accident happened and wanted to save her son first, so why would I make things difficult for her? She lost her son and grandson in pain, so why isn't she
The two of them cried silently for half an hour. After half an hour, Chen Linli wiped away her tears and opened her mouth.
…
There is no deep hatred between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Chen Linli is an open-minded person. Once she spoke, the conversation went very smoothly. After hearing Chen Linli's original intention of not wanting to split Kaili, Huang Ran agreed with Chen Linli's general direction of the inheritance plan without hesitation. .
In this one-and-a-half-hour meeting, we cried for half an hour, talked about Kaili for half an hour, and for the remaining half an hour, the two wounded women seemed to be warming in the same fire, recalling the same deeply loved one. deceased.
"Akai is actually quite childish sometimes. I promised to buy him a marshmallow last time, but I forgot and got angry with me because of it."
"This kid was very aggressive when he was a child, so he should restrain his temper when it comes to you."
…
—
But now, although these two women are still not completely intimate, their faces are equally sincere.
"Lawyer Cheng, Lawyer Qian, thank you. We won't fight the second-instance lawsuit. We want to settle." Chen Linli's face was full of genuine gratitude, "You are the best lawyers I have ever met, the most professional, and the most It is humane, which is the best portrayal of the profession of lawyers."
Until Chen Linli and Huang Ran sent Cheng Yao and Qian Heng out of the hospital, Cheng Yao was still in a daze: "Is this the end of this case?"
Qian Heng glanced at her, not without shock in his heart, and it was hard for him to imagine that such a case where the two parties were fighting each other to the death would end with such warmth. Huang Ran agreed not to divide Kaili, so Chen Linli will use the remaining real estate and cash to compensate her share. But the general direction and the two reached an agreement. Qian Heng and Cheng Yao only need to negotiate the specific division plan. It is not wrong to say that the case is almost settled.
The family cases that Qian Heng has handled have always been confrontational, quarrelsome and ugly. This is the first case that ended in such a gentle way.
For the first time, Qian Heng began to reflect on whether, in addition to professionalism, should he really add a little more emotion and human touch? Looking at the case with a softer eye
In this huge world, people can form a family, which itself is a kind of fate with a small probability, and the original intention of forming a family is always out of love. Is that when it is finally necessary to separate? Can you keep your face
The marriage of Qian Heng's parents was not unhappy, but Qian Heng only felt that such a marriage of the older generation was already difficult to replicate in today's eccentric society. Therefore, before meeting Cheng Yao, Qian Heng never thought about getting married, let alone forming a family, and only watched the separation and reunion of the parties with a cold eye.
It's just that at this moment, he is suddenly a little uncertain. If he had met Cheng Yao earlier, if he had had more understanding and respect for family and marriage earlier, would the cases he has handled have been different? result
For the first time, he began to face up to his own heart, and for the first time began to think carefully about Cheng Yao's words, the equality she pursued, the love and marriage she wanted...
—
While thinking in confusion, Qian Heng followed Cheng Yao to the outside of the hospital, and then he suddenly heard Cheng Yao's surprised voice.
"It's snowing!" She took out her mobile phone to take a picture, which looked like she was in Kyoto.
The memories of Japan swept Qian Heng so unexpectedly, he suddenly couldn't restrain himself at all, he just stepped forward and hugged Cheng Yao from behind.
"Cheng Yao, I can't live without you."
Cheng Yao's whole body was trapped in Qian Heng's arms, and the man's breath lingered on the tip of her nose. It was clear that there was a cold wind and snowflakes around her, but for a moment, Cheng Yao only felt that she was experiencing midsummer in Qian Heng's arms.
Qian Heng stepped up the hug: "Don't like others." His voice was low, "Don't like Gu Beiqing."
"I would be jealous."
It's not that Cheng Yao doesn't yearn for the warmth in her arms, but she still breaks free from Qian Heng's arms rationally and restraintly.
"Qian Heng, between us, it has nothing to do with others. Whether I like others or not is not up to you." Cheng Yao lowered his gaze and checked the time, "I'm leaving, and I have an appointment for dinner with my senior." Night snack."
"..."
It was the first time that Qian Heng used his beauty tricks, and he didn't even want face. Relying on his good looks, he tried in vain to get ahead by his body, but he was slapped in the face in the end.
Standing in the wind, he watched Cheng Yao walk away, his appearance became calmer, but his heart became more turbulent. At a certain moment, Qian Heng even considered the feasibility of buying Gu Beiqing as a murderer...
—
Wu Jun received the call from Qian Heng when he was watering the flowers and plants at home.
The other party's voice was cold: "Hello, are you home?"
Wu Jun recalled the last time Qian Heng treated him mercilessly as if he was tearing down a bridge when he crossed a river, and the alarm rang loudly: "I'm not here!"
"Oh, that's it. I had a box of king crabs brought in by air and wanted to send them to you. It's fine if you're not here."
"I'm here! I'm here!" Wu Jun immediately changed his words, "I was wrong just now!"
—
A quarter of an hour later, Qian Heng really appeared at the door of Wu Jun's apartment. He was rude and went straight into the house.
"I have something to ask you."
Wu Jun wanted to cry but had no tears: "Where is my king crab? Are you fucking lying to me again?"
Qian Hengli said confidently: "Didn't your physical examination record last year say that you had high uric acid? Eat less seafood, it will be good for your health."
"..."
"Okay, let's talk about my problem first."
Wu Jun was downcast, the longest road he had walked in his life was probably Qian Heng's routine: "What?"
"That friend of mine is broken."
"Qian Heng, you need to be honest when asking questions, do you know?" Wu Jun exploded, "It's already this time, and I'm still one of my friends? Do you think I'm stupid? You and Cheng Yao are dating, Jun Heng is up and down. Now I know it all! You fucking warned me not to have unspoken rules for pretty subordinates, and what I said seemed to be true, but I ended up attacking Cheng Yao behind my back, you beast! You have a good face! Shameless!"
"..." Qian Heng was a little embarrassed, his voice was a little unnatural, but his expression was still very righteous, "Anyway, that's what happened."
He quickly regained his composure, and briefly explained the situation to Wu Jun: "But now she doesn't agree to get back together with me." Qian Heng's voice was puzzled, "She said that I feel too good about myself, and that we are not equal enough. .”
Wu Jun almost didn't laugh on the spot: "Cheng Yao is really good! Help me avenge myself! Qian Heng, you kid also have today?"
Qian Heng's face was not good-looking: "I came to you for consultation, not because you scolded me."
Wu Jun teased Qian Heng for a while before giving him serious advice: "You have to let go of the sense of superiority in your heart, it's okay if people don't agree to get back together now, since you're still single anyway, then you should pursue it again You have to let people see your sincerity, you like her very much, but if you hold her back too much, people can only feel one-tenth of your love, naturally feel that you love too little, love too much self."
Qian Heng's tone was decisive: "Even if she is not single, I will pry her corner."
"It's all right if you have this awareness? Then let's go after her, man, facing the woman you like, what face can't you let go of? Launch an attack, try various methods of chasing her, if it doesn't work, just pester her." Bad fight, you have a relationship with her, can you still handle it?"
"Must be like this? Stalking is too out of my style..."
"If you're not single, you'd even be willing to be a male mistress. What do you care about style? Is style acceptable? Qian Heng, you want to chase Cheng Yao back, it's time to let go of your sense of superiority. You People, if they don't get beaten twice, they don't know how to write miserable words."
…
Qian Heng's face was as colorful as a palette, he paused, and then said with difficulty: "So why do you stalk?" He turned his head, "I have no experience."
Wu Jun slapped his thigh: "Then you are really asking the right person, I have experience!" He pointed out with a teaching face, "This is a stalker, first of all, I don't really want you to be disgusted all day long. To jump in front of people, you need to find the right opportunity. This opportunity, if it is not so deliberate, can make you appear in front of the other person continuously, so that the other person can see you all day long. It is best to take the initiative Looking for you. In this way, you gradually occupy all the private time of the other party, just like aggression, eating away the other party's territory little by little, like boiling a frog in warm water. When the other party finds out, it is too late to escape Out of your palm!"
…
—
After listening to Wu Jun's words, Qian Heng fell into deep thought.
The reason why Cheng Yao can be with her in private without doing it deliberately...
Qian Heng was trying to think of countermeasures while walking on the road. The environment of Wu Jun's neighborhood is good, but there are a lot of stray cats. Beside the trash can in front of Qian Heng, there is a small orange cat, rummaging for food...
Qian Heng stared at the orange cat for a while, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Wu Jun, you go downstairs."
Wu Jun:? ?
Qian Heng was very calm: "Bring a box and help me catch a stray cat."
…
—
Cheng Yao and Gu Beiqing had just finished their supper and had just returned home when they received a call from Qian Heng.
Cheng Yao was a little annoyed: "You can talk about work matters, not personal matters."
Are you kidding me, she hasn't recovered from Qian Heng's condescending remarks about straight male cancer in the afternoon.
"Cheng Yao, I need your help."
Qian Heng's voice sounded very earnest: "It's like this. I picked up an injured stray cat in the community, and it feels like it's dying. I'm not very good at handling it. Can you help me? I know it needs to be treated. Send it to the pet hospital first, but this cat is not very cooperative, and I can't handle it alone."
When Cheng Yao raised Megatron for Qin Qin, she liked small animals very much. When she heard that Qian Heng had picked up an injured stray cat, she didn't care about anything else for a moment: "Where are you? I'll be right over."
—
Not long after, Cheng Yao rushed to Qian Heng's villa.
The winter night is so cold, but Qian Heng is only wearing a thin suit, holding a cat in his arms and standing at the door looking forward to it. If his arms were replaced with a child, it would be like an abandoned man with a child It's like waiting for a scumbag wife.
Cheng Yao shook off the inexplicable thoughts in her head: "How is the cat, let me see? Where is it hurt?"
As a result, Cheng Yao hadn't touched the cat yet, and the cat in Qian Heng's arms suddenly jumped up and gave Qian Heng two paws with precise movements.
Cheng Yao was a little surprised: "Didn't you say that this cat is dying of illness? Why do I look very energetic?" She looked at the cat writhing in Qian Heng's arms, trying to break free, "And this cat looks wild, and It's in good condition, how did you pick it up?"
Qian Heng didn't answer, just raised his hand: "It's broken."
Cheng Yao didn't even think about it, but he successfully changed the subject, and took his hand to check. She said anxiously, "It's bleeding, this kind of stray cat, you have to get a rabies vaccine."
Qian Heng was still very calm, and also very righteous Ling Ran: "It doesn't matter to me, save this cat first."
In fact, his hand was scratched badly by the cat, with several bloody cuts, Cheng Yao tried to restrain himself, but looking at the wound, he couldn't help the pain in his heart, as if he had been punched lightly by someone, a little dull.
She put down the flight case she bought along the way: "Put the cat in first."
Qian Hengyiyan put the orange cat with its teeth and claws in it: "Let's go, there is a pet doctor not far from here..."
But before he finished speaking, Cheng Yao came to hold his hand, and pulled him into the car forcefully and not to let go: "Get rabies vaccine first."
"Need not… "
"Not negotiable."
Qian Heng still didn't cooperate: "It's enough to inject within 24 hours."
Cheng Yao didn't bother to persuade him anymore, she stared into Qian Heng's eyes: "Do you still want to marry me?"
Qian Heng pursed his lips and said nothing.
"If you want to, then get rabies vaccine first."
—
Just like that, Cheng Yao carried the flight case and took Qian Heng busy inside and out, and finally watched him clean up the wound and get the first injection of rabies.
After doing all this, Cheng Yao felt that a stone had fallen from her heart, and she took Qian Heng and the cat to the pet hospital.
"The cat is in good health, ten oranges and nine fat. This cat is quite heavy, but it has fleas. It needs to be dewormed outside the body and vaccinated against rabies. For stray cats, it is best to train them to eat cat food. In addition, it is recommended to be neutered …”
The pet doctor was very patient, and told Cheng Yao Qian Heng a lot, but he was a little curious before leaving: "But this cat is so fierce, how did you catch it?"
Qian Heng gave the doctor a vicious look: "I didn't catch it, I picked it up."
But the male doctor didn't get the hint from Qian Heng's eyes at all. He said carelessly: "How could this kind of wild and unruly stray cat be picked up by someone? It's very vigilant, and it will scratch you as soon as someone approaches. I guess It takes at least two people to catch it."
"..."
Cheng Yao frowned, she looked at Qian Heng suspiciously, but Qian Heng looked open, and he also looked straight back.
"You picked it up?"
"kindness."
"It's so fierce, how can I pick it up for you?"
"I just picked it up."
But even if Qian Heng didn't admit it, Cheng Yao already knew the answer from his unnatural tone and reddish earlobes.
"Did you catch the cat on purpose?"
Qian Heng poked his neck: "No."
"That's it."
"..."
"Qian Heng."
"Yes, I caught it." Qian Heng looked at the cat in the air box, "It's cold, it's wandering outside alone, and I'm wandering alone at home, it's very suitable, I fell in love with it at a glance, in the future Live with it."
"..."
Qian Heng's voice was dry and cold, and he didn't feel any emotion at first, but when he thought about it carefully, he always felt that every word was full of strong accusations.
"It's pretty good too. Aren't you a DINK before? Many people in DINK like to have cats and dogs to accompany them. Kittens and dogs are also very caring. You don't have to worry like children, which is also very good. "
"Cheng Yao, I have already decided not to dink."
Cheng Yao shoved the flight case into Qian Heng's hand: "You should think about this kind of important matter related to the future. Maybe you will still think that Dink is good after a while. After all, you have adhered to the principle for so many years. Then you keep the cat and depend on each other for your life." Well, I'll go back first."
As soon as Cheng Yao turned around, her hand was grabbed by the other party.
"I recently went on a business trip to Taiwan and brought you your favorite pineapple cake."
"Um?"
Qian Heng's voice was a little unnatural: "Would you like to eat at my place?"
"No need." Cheng Yao smiled, "I just had supper with my senior and I'm already full."
After finishing speaking, Cheng Yao waved her hand and left quickly.
—
As a result, not long after Cheng Yao returned home, someone knocked on the door just after taking a shower.
She opened the door, and outside the door was Qian Heng carrying a flight case and a cat.
"There's a power outage at my house."
"The water is still off."
"The gas is off, too."
Qian Heng stiffened his neck and announced expressionlessly: "So I'm staying here tonight."
As if he was afraid that Cheng Yao would object, he rushed ahead of Cheng Yao and continued: "I don't live in a hotel. The news just came out a few days ago. Even five-star hotels don't do a good job of cleaning, it's not hygienic." He sideways He started, "Legally speaking, I am still a legal tenant paying the rent here, and you have no right to drive me away. Under special circumstances, it is reasonable for me to live here."
Cheng Yao leaned against the door and looked at him with pursed lips, but she had to admit that Qian Heng was really a legal tenant.
She had no choice but to turn aside and let Qian Heng go: "Your villa, you won't continue to have electricity, water, and gas tomorrow, right?"
Qian Heng said solemnly: "We will continue to stop tomorrow."
"Then it's time to recover the day after tomorrow?"
"It's hard to say the day after tomorrow."
…
Cheng Yao was so annoyed that she laughed back, she never expected that Qian Heng could be so straightforward and thick-skinned: "It's okay, I'll take a taxi to take you back to the villa tomorrow, and I'll help you make sure it doesn't stop. You got it."
"You don't need to connect it." Qian Heng's tone was a little unnatural, "From now on, you don't need to connect the water pipes." He looked up at Cheng Yao, "I'll fix it."
"Your noble hands can fix plumbing?"
"I can enroll in a plumber training class. In this world, nothing can trouble me. I can also be the most professional in plumbing."
"..."
When Qian Heng first asked Cheng Yao to get back together, Cheng Yao was still holding back the anger of being stabbed by his ubiquitous sense of superiority, and at the same time held a skeptical attitude towards him.
This man, really figured it out? Really think it through? Saying that wanting to get married and have children is not an impulsive or unconscious decision
It's just that Cheng Yao has calculated thousands of times, and didn't expect that Qian Heng has such a rascal side.
On the surface, Qian Heng was still calm and composed, but his omnipresent gaze following him, his attitude as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and the faint sense of anxiety that he tried to please himself but failed to do so, had already leaked bit by bit. .
He still thinks that he is covering up everything cleverly, but he doesn't know that all this is just trying to cover up.
It's so obvious.
It's really too obvious.
Qian Heng is like a dedicated actor who has received a script that is so embarrassing to death, but still works hard to finish it, using such a poor excuse to try to save what little dignity he has left.
Cheng Yao was both funny and angry inside.
It's already this time, are you still carrying it? Do you still pursue human self-awareness? You are not single, who is single? !
She didn't bother to talk to Qian Heng, she glanced at him, and answered Gu Beiqing's call as if no one else was there: "Senior, tomorrow morning? Okay, I'm free, it's the weekend, let's have a brunch together. Okay, then you come to me Pick me up here."
See if I don't piss you off!
