"Lawyer Cheng, have you guys figured out when to pay back my money?"
Lu Juan knew nothing about what she was about to face. Cheng Junliang glanced at the girl in front of him and finally mustered up his courage. He once again solemnly and seriously apologized to Lu Juan for losing the original IOU—
"I will take responsibility for my mistakes, Ms. Lu, and I also want to do my best to make up for my mistakes. First of all, I will not charge you for this loan dispute case. I will bring the part of the money to teach the lawyer. I will accept you again, so we will represent this case for free, I will try my best to win the lawsuit, and then apply for enforcement; but if we lose the lawsuit because of the loss of the original IOU, I will bear the compensation of 120,000 yuan."
Obviously, what Lu Juan wanted to hear was not Cheng Junliang's apology, and she was not interested in winning the lawsuit, and the last sentence of assuming compensation made her face calm down.
"It's just that before that, there are some things that I think you should know about." Cheng Junliang didn't hesitate any longer, took out the recording of Pan Zhendong's cheating, and a copy of the cohabitation agreement that Pan Zhendong rented for Xiaosan and himself, and briefly stated The fact that he cheated.
Because she thought that she could get the 120,000 yuan from Cheng Junliang, Lu Juan's face was pretty at first, but as the recording played, her face slowly sank, and Qi Xi watched it again after the recording was completely played. I found that Lu Juan's expression was ugly, her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes became a little dazed.
She had a pale face, as if she hadn't reacted all of a sudden, she was stunned for a moment, and finally regained her thoughts, and looked at Qi Xi out of focus, as if looking for an answer: "Why is he with her?" ...Although she is younger than me, she is not as good-looking as me, why? Why?"
Cheng Junliang, Qi Xi, and Gu Yan didn't know the identity of the mistress, but Lu Juan obviously understood right away.
She bit her lip tightly until there were bloodstains on her lips.
Pan Zhendong's derailment had obviously hit Lu Juan unprecedentedly. The girl's eyes were red and she couldn't bear it anymore. She immediately called Pan Zhendong—
"Pan Zhendong, you're going to die, you're cheating on me behind my back, spending my money to support other little bitches! Are you a fucking human?"
Lu Juan's emotions were completely out of control, and she hurled insults at the other end of the phone.
Pan Zhendong tried to coax him at first, but later he found that he couldn't get past it, and he no longer hid himself. He seemed to have a problem with Lu Juan: "She doesn't look as good as you, but she has a better temper than you. A hundred times! A sweet mouth will make things happen, understand me, know that I am a man working hard outside, can comfort me, and know how to worship me."
As soon as Pan Zhendong fought back, he said clearly: "What about you? I encountered a little setback when I started my business before, but you are fine, complaining at home every day, arguing with me, and not knowing how to encourage me at all. Whoever succeeds in starting a business at the beginning ?You just don’t like me, look down on me, so I have a little twists and turns, you tell me to find a new factory to work, don’t you fucking think I’m not good enough? Strong to death, not gentle at all, I have endured you for a long time , a woman like you, to be honest, I don’t want to marry you either, now that you’re dead if you’re not married, and you’re my wife, why don’t you just sit on my head and shit? Who would dare to want a tigress like you? ah?!"
Lu Juan's hand holding the phone kept trembling: "Didn't you say that you broke up with me because of the pressure of starting a business before, and now you decide to reconcile with me and hurry up to save money and marry me?"
After Pan Zhendong was exposed, he simply tore his face: "Do you believe this? I will tell you the truth, I will never marry you. Anyway, now you have lost your IOU, so don't bother me in the future. Go ask that little lawyer for money, I don't bother coaxing you!"
After Pan Zhendong finished speaking, he didn't care what Lu Juan wanted to say, so he hung up the phone.
Listening to the beep on the other end of the phone, Lu Juan looked dazed and helpless.
After digesting her emotions for a long time, she finally began to show pain and despair.
"He can't do this to me...he can't..."
She held back for a long time, and this time, she finally burst into tears.
Qi Xi and Gu Yan looked at each other, and as expected, their guesses were all right.
Lu Juan did conspire with Pan Zhendong to transfer the 120,000 yuan debt to Cheng Junliang, who was negligent and lost the original document.
Lu Juan's emotions completely collapsed: "I... I didn't mean to look down on him at all. It was because I cared about him and wanted to spend the rest of my life with him, so I was so worried about his work and his entrepreneurial progress. It was because I wanted to form a business with him. The family, who will have a son and a daughter in the future, only hope that he can have a more stable job to ensure the economic foundation for having children in the future... "
Lu Juan's words are full of great grievances and bitterness: "When we were in love, especially at the beginning, I only thought about being a boyfriend and girlfriend. At that time, I didn't care whether his job had a future, because I never thought about the long-term. On the contrary, he didn't care about what he did, and he would never bother him about these things. Looking back now, at that time, he often praised me for being sensible, considerate and gentle, but later... "
Qi Xi can naturally guess what happened later. Later, Lu Juan must have cared more about Pan Zhendong and wanted to have a long-term plan with him, so she began to have higher expectations for his work in all aspects. Naturally , the contradiction comes.
Some men are teenagers until they die, and they can talk to each other when they are in love with their girlfriends, but once the woman mentions the word marriage or responsibility, these teenagers run faster than anyone else, and they can immediately draw a line with the woman, expressing I suddenly don't love it anymore.
Pan Zhendong Dalue is such a typical male who has no sense of responsibility. He longs for freedom without taking any responsibility. Therefore, once Lu Juan starts to make demands on him and has many constraints, he starts to feel uncomfortable and feels like Lu Juan is like a parent. He also cares about east and west, and then dislikes Lu Juan's strength, loses love for her, and begins to look for a substitute who can worship him but never care about him.
A man like him needs a stupid woman who adores him or a bad woman who pretends to adore him for money, not any down-to-earth woman who wants to settle down and live.
Lu Juan was still crying, but at this point, Qi Xi also understood that the alliance between her and Pan Zhendong had collapsed.
**
Lu Juan made such a fuss, and now she faces Qixi, Gu Yan and Cheng Junliang with embarrassment: "Lawyer Cheng..."
Pan Zhendong's growling just now was loud enough for Cheng Junliang to hear everything clearly.
Lu Juan lowered her head: "Forget about this case. I was deceived by lard, and I am sorry for you. If it weren't for you, I would have been sold and returned the money..."
Lu Juan has been in the society for a long time, and her attempt to blackmail Cheng Junliang was deliberate before. It is impossible for her to say that she instantly realized her mistake and immediately felt guilty as she said. Because of the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Pan Zhendong's betrayal hit her emotionally very hard. In her great anger, she wanted to punish and take revenge on the cheating partner, so she immediately changed her strategy and joined forces with Cheng Junliang. It was a shrewd and philistine decision.
But anyway, no matter how insincere Lu Juan's apology was and how selfish it was, at least things went in the direction Qi Xi and the others expected.
What's more, Cheng Junliang's loss of the original IOU was indeed a work mistake.
As a girl, at this time, Qi Xi felt that it was time for her to play. She took Lu Juan's hand and offered the same remedial plan as Lu Juan stepped down: "Cheng Junliang will still take responsibility for what he did wrong. The agent can still give you free, and we will help you together, but you need to cooperate."
Gu Yan, who had been silent all this time, also opened his mouth: "Although the original is lost, as long as you can provide other evidence to prove the existence of this loan, and cooperate with the bank transfer records, the court will approve the loan."
"I have evidence." This time, Lu Juan finally told the truth, "I repaired my old cell phone before, and Pan Zhendong thought I lost all the chat records with him, but in fact I have already backed up the chat records. It can be clearly seen that he admitted that this is a loan."
Speaking of this, Lu Juan showed her shame in a sophisticated manner: "I'm sorry, I have been hiding it from you before, and I didn't provide these.
Regardless of whether Lu Juan was genuinely aware of her mistake or was just pretending, in short, everyone had to muddle along and let the story go.
**
In the end, Cheng Junliang's sincere apology won Lu Juan's forgiveness, and Lu Juan at least verbally admitted her mistake to Cheng Junliang, and cooperated to submit supporting evidence to prove the arrears.
Qi Xi took a look, and with Lu Juan's evidence, even though there were no original documents, it could be concluded that there was a loan relationship between Lu Juan and Pan Zhendong. Cheng Junliang should have won the case for sure.
Both Lu Juan's case and Cheng Junliang's plight have finally been satisfactorily resolved.
"Gu Yan, Qi Xi, thanks to your help this time, otherwise I don't know what to do." The matter finally had a happy ending, Cheng Junliang finally let go of the big stone in his heart, and his face became relaxed and comfortable, "You guys Not only did I get rid of the 120,000 yuan in debt this time, but it also prevented me from committing suicide. It saved my life. Let me give me a chance to treat you to a meal, which is a rare gathering after graduation."
Qi Xi was also very happy that this matter could be resolved smoothly. He quickly expressed his approval of Cheng Junliang's proposal, and Gu Yan naturally had no objection, so the three of them found a nearby Cantonese restaurant and decided to celebrate it Fan.
Although both Qi Xi and Gu Yan said that they can eat whatever they want, but in order to express their sincerity, Cheng Junliang still found a relatively high-end Cantonese restaurant: "You two don't save me money, you both said that you must learn how to spend money before you can learn how to spend money." Earn money, after you spend it, I am more determined to earn it.”
Because he was happy, Cheng Junliang even called for drinks during the dinner, pulling Qi Xi and Gu Yan to have a toast.
Probably because people are in good spirits on happy occasions, Cheng Junliang respected Qi Xi and Gu Yan for several rounds, and managed to drink himself up even though he was not a big drinker.
Cheng Junliang blushed from drinking, and talked more than usual, dragging Qi Xi to babble about his vision and plans for the future, even when he will pay back the money he borrowed from his classmates, Qi Xi has nothing to do Report in detail.
Qi Xi knew that Cheng Junliang probably had too much to drink, and he didn't have any malicious intentions. Therefore, when he was brought so close to chattering, although he felt a little uncomfortable, he was embarrassed to push him away. Fortunately, Gu Yan, who didn't drink much at first, , I don’t know if he was really happy tonight, pulling Cheng Junliang aside to fight for a drink, and this is how Qi Xi was rescued from an embarrassing situation.
What Cheng Junliang caught Gu Yan talking about was different from what Qi Xi said. He began to recall his life in the university, and babbled about the employment and current situation of several people in the same dormitory, until he mentioned Zhang Jialiang——
"By the way, Gu Yan, on the day of your graduation ceremony, why did you block Zhang Jialiang in the men's room and beat him up? I heard that you beat him very hard. Zhang Jialiang's face was bruised and purple after that day."
Cheng Junliang obviously drank too much and started talking, but he was still full of gossip: "I heard that you paid for the medical expenses later, and Zhang Jialiang was going back to his hometown. Anyway, in the end, he thought that one more thing would be better than one less thing. If you have entanglements with you later, isn’t it okay for you to have a lukewarm relationship with him? Why did you make such a big commotion all of a sudden? Beat him like that?”
Cheng Junliang burped: "You are too impulsive, no matter what it is, you can't do that, if Zhang Jialiang catches you, it may affect your future in the future, and if you beat him up, you will lose money." With so much medical expenses, aren't you wasting so much money?"
Cheng Junliang made a slip of the tongue after drinking, completely unintentional, but Qi Xi was stunned.
His words were too informative, Qi Xi was stunned for a moment before he could react.
After the graduation ceremony, Qi Xi couldn't find Gu Yan to apologize, so he blocked Zhang Jialiang, and after finding out that the perpetrator was indeed Zhang Jialiang, Qi Xi had reported to the police, but the police couldn't accept the case because he couldn't meet the standard of establishing a case. Qi Xi was suffocated at the time, and originally wanted to ask Zhang Jialiang to give a theoretical warning, at least to make him pay the price, knowing that in the future, he would never harass any girl like this again.
It's just that that day was very miraculous, Qi Xi didn't find Gu Yan, nor Zhang Jialiang, so...
So the reason I didn't find these two people was because Gu Yan blocked Zhang Jialiang into the men's toilet and beat him up
Qi Xi couldn't help looking at Gu Yan with a stunned gaze.
Gu Yan, who can be an excellent pacesetter and a good student, can beat people directly
Qi Xi couldn't believe it at all.
Probably because her gaze was too explicit, Gu Yan was a little annoyed at being watched, and he glared at Cheng Junliang: "Hurry up and drink something to sober up, and stop talking."
It's a pity that drunk people can't be rational. Not only did Cheng Junliang not shut his mouth, but he talked more and more. He looked at Gu Yan, then turned back to stare at Qi Xi: "By the way, what's going on with you two? I didn't dare to say that I didn't dare to ask before, but what happened at the graduation ceremony? Gu Yan, do you like Qi Xi? Qi Xi, why do you... "
When Cheng Junliang said this, he probably had a headache after being drunk, and rubbed the center of his brows, but the chatterbox couldn't be closed: "Do you know? After graduation, everyone was discussing your affairs, and some said that Gu Yan couldn't make love, so they fought Zhang Jialiang, an innocent passerby who happened to pass by, vented his anger; others said that after seeing Qi Xi's clarification and apology, everything was a beautiful misunderstanding. In fact, Gu Yan didn't like Qi Xi, but Zhang Jialiang. Later, he beat Zhang Jialiang because of his love for life. hatred… "
"..."
It just gets more and more outrageous!
Although Cheng Junliang was drunk, Qi Xi still felt that he had to clarify for Gu Yan: "Don't listen to this kind of nonsense, Zhang Jialiang is a bastard, Gu Yan beat him must be doing harm for the people and doing justice for the sky! Zhang Jialiang, stop spreading such messy rumors, you will affect Gu Yan's girlfriend!"
Cheng Junliang's eyes were already a little confused, but the spirit of gossip drove him to continue asking: "Then you and..."
Qi Xi was filled with righteous indignation: "Gu Yan definitely didn't like me! Gu Yan didn't have that kind of unreasonable thoughts towards me! It's all Zhang Jialiang who caused me to misunderstand Gu Yan!"
I don't know if it's just bringing up the old story again, but Gu Yan showed a rather subtle expression on his face, which seemed to be a mixture of unhappiness and a little bewilderment, which made it difficult for Qi Xi to describe.
Cheng Junliang soon lost his drink, covered his mouth and hurried to the bathroom to vomit, so Qi Xi and Gu Yan were left during the banquet.
I don't know why, but now that Qi Xi and Gu Yan are alone during non-working hours, they often feel their heartbeats are messy and at a loss, and I don't know if it's because of drinking.
Qi Xi tried hard to dispel this feeling, so he raised his hand and picked up the wine glass to take another sip, but Gu Yan took the glass away as soon as it reached his mouth, and then Qi Xi's hand was handed over by Gu Yan something else.
She looked down, only to see that it was a can of yogurt.
Gu Yan looked quite calm, he stuffed the yogurt to Qi Xi with one hand, and was still pouring tea for himself with the other, completely unable to see what he had just done.
Facing Qi Xi's gaze, the man reluctantly explained: "Stop drinking." He glanced in the direction of the bathroom, "You girl, do you want to vomit like Cheng Junliang later?"
"Drink some yogurt, yogurt can reduce the stimulation of alcohol on the gastric mucosa."
I don't know if it's because of drinking, but Gu Yan's face was a little red. He glanced at Qi Xi, then looked away, and explained with some difficulty: "Cheng Junliang is already drunk like that, and he will definitely be drunk later. Responsible for sending him home, I don't want you to be drunk like this, then I will send you two home one by one, how heavy is my task?"
makes sense.
Qi Xi didn't dare to drink again, and obediently planned to drink yogurt, but he didn't know if the yogurt straw was determined to be against her, and Qi Xi didn't insert it several times.
In the end, Gu Yan seemed unable to bear it any longer, and reluctantly took the yogurt away from Qi Xi's hand, then helped Qi Xi insert it, and then handed it back to her.
It's just that Qi Xi's yoghurt hasn't had a few sips yet, Gu Yan has a new request for some reason, and he stares at Qi Xi: "You and I change places."
"ah?"
Qi Xi thought she had heard wrong.
In the end, Gu Yan's attitude was very firm: "Change your position."
Qi Xi drank alcohol, although she was not drunk, but she was a bit slow in her reactions. For some reason, Gu Yan's instructions made her feel very safe, so she barely thought about it, she stood up docilely and obediently, and then obediently exchanged with Gu Yan. seat.
Does the seat still talk about Feng Shui
Qi Xi sat in Gu Yan's seat, and didn't feel any difference.
Cheng Junliang didn't know how he vomited, and he hasn't come back yet.
Qi Xi looked at Gu Yan, feeling a little nervous and a little cramped. She took a bite of food, and there were some reasons why she had nothing to say, but also some reasons of curiosity: "Were you really angry at that time?"
Gu Yan was stunned: "What?"
"That's when the graduation ceremony was slandered by me."
Qi Xi bit her lip and apologized again: "I'm sorry Gu Yan, I was really impulsive at that time, you ignored me at that time, you didn't sue me, and you didn't take any action to ask me to pay the price , I thought you were very magnanimous, and you didn't mind this matter so much, I didn't expect that there was an episode where you beat Zhang Jialiang up."
Gu Yan was able to beat people with his hands. It can be seen that it really drove Gu Yan to the point of insanity. Because of this, Qi Xi once again realized that his behavior at that time should have caused considerable damage and impact to Gu Yan. Otherwise, Gu Yan wouldn't have to beat him at the risk of being defended by Zhang Jialiang.
It's just that I didn't expect that, after thinking about it for a moment, Gu Yan vetoed Qi Xi's idea, and he pursed his lower lip: "I hit Zhang Jialiang, not because you misunderstood me because of him."
Gu Yan lowered his eyes and stared at the dinner plate, as if he could see the flowers on the dinner plate, and after a moment of silence, he added: "It is true that I hit him very, very angry, but it was for other reasons. "
Qi Xi stared at Gu Yan with an expression of wishing to hear more about it.
It's a pity that Gu Yan didn't go on talking, he raised his head and stared at Qi Xi: "I don't want to say the reason." He looked away, and his voice became softer, "It's my secret."
Okay, okay, in modern society, who doesn't have a secret!
Qi Xi understood and didn't ask any more questions, but he only felt in his heart that he should treat Gu Yan better in the future.
Probably because of the graduation ceremony, recently Qi Xi discovered that although Gu Xuehan hadn't pursued this matter long ago, and neither had Gu Yan, she still spontaneously wanted to treat Gu Yan well.
Qi Xi was thinking about it in his mind, but was interrupted by the sharp voice of the woman among the young lovers at the table behind him—
"I want to break up with you! You trash man! You don't treat me well at all! Every time you ask me out, it's for that kind of thing! Today you slept with me all afternoon, and now you bring me to dinner. I want to order something You won't let me order an expensive dish, and I still have a cold today, and when you eat, you only care about yourself, and you don't care about my life at all!"
After the girl made a crying voice, the boy's exasperated voice followed closely: "Are you ashamed or not? The matter of opening a house is still on the table, what's the matter? Is it just me? Do you think you don't want it?" , then every time I ask you out, don’t come here! Isn’t it the same thing with boyfriend and girlfriend? I also found a princess? You should read less novels and TV dramas. It’s all about pampering your girlfriend into a princess Fake! In the real world, which woman is as pretentious and coquettish as you? Which man is as meticulous as those men in TV dramas? Can you get close to your life? Don’t I give you money every month? ?”
Because this table was sitting behind Qi Xi and Gu Yan, even if Qi Xi didn't want to hear these private information, he had to be forced to transmit it.
It's just that the quarrel between couples who had nothing to do with Qi Xi at first suddenly escalated to affect Qi Xi at some point.
The girl was obviously overwhelmed, she immediately patted the table and stood up: "Who said that in reality there is no such caring boyfriend who knows the cold and the warm, but you have it right in front of you!" She said while pointing her finger at Qi Xi And Gu Yan, "That's the man, he only applauds his girlfriend, just now the girl wanted to drink, he passed the yogurt to the girl, but the girl couldn't insert the straw in a coquettish manner, her boyfriend didn't dislike it at all, so he patiently inserted the straw for her There was someone smoking at the table to the left of them just now, and the girl's seat was downwind and would passively inhale second-hand smoke, the boy immediately asked the girl to switch places with him."
…
Qi Xi didn't care what the couple was arguing about, she was just a little stunned.
It turned out that the position was just changed...
Qi Xi couldn't help looking at Gu Yan.
The corners of Gu Yan's lips were very flat, and he explained: "It's nothing, don't listen to their nonsense, I just feel that my position is a bit stuffy, and your position is downwind, so I want to breathe."
Gu Yan didn't look at Qi Xi. After he said this, he changed the subject very deliberately: "Why hasn't Cheng Junliang come back? I'll go to the bathroom to see him."
After leaving these words, Gu Yan left in a hurry.
The couple behind Qi Xi has reconciled, but Qi Xi's heart is still not peaceful. She feels that she seems a little bit abnormal recently, as if many emotions have become inexplicable.
And... what do you mean being coquettish and unable to insert a yogurt straw? This is blatant slander! I didn't want to act like a baby, I really didn't intervene!
The more Qi Xi thought about it, the more wronged she became, she simply took the extra can of yogurt on the table and decided to have another cup.
It turned out that it was really bad luck today. She inserted the straw for a long time, but she didn't insert it again.
Until the yogurt in his hand was taken away again, he helped to insert the straw in one go, and then was handed to Qi Xi again.
"Squeamish."
Qi Xi looked up, only to see that Gu Yan was supporting Cheng Junliang, and had already returned to his seat. He took a sip of tea quite naturally, and he didn't seem to be looking at Qi Xi. If it wasn't for the voice of Gu Yan, Qi Xi would have thought that it was Gu Yan's voice. What I just heard was a hallucination.
Qi Xi was a little angry, what's wrong with being coquettish? Is being squeamish illegal? What's wrong with being squeamish
**
After Cheng Junliang vomited, he obviously became more sober. He finally went to buy the bill firmly, while Qi Xi and Gu Yan stayed on the table, intending to pack the dishes that Cheng Junliang was too enthusiastic about but didn't eat at all.
After the two finished packing, they realized that there were as many as six packing boxes, and Gu Yan couldn't carry that much by himself, so he glanced at Qi Xi: "Please help me carry a few."
These packing boxes are not heavy, and it's not that Qi Xi doesn't intend to carry them, but remembering that Gu Yan "attacked" her coquettishness just now, she said a little angrily, "Aren't I coquettish? I can't lift them, my hands are already coquettish." It fell off automatically."
Qi Xi just finished talking, and planned to reach out to pick it up after speaking, but Gu Yan didn't let her pick it up again. He put all the packing boxes on the table, and then took a tissue from the table. Before he could react, Gu Yan stretched out his hand and gently wiped Qi Xi's mouth with a tissue.
Because of the sudden incident, Qi Xi was still in a daze until Gu Yan's hand left, she just stared at Gu Yan like that.
It's just that although the reaction became slow, the feeling in her heart didn't. Qi Xi couldn't control it at all, and her face began to turn red.
She stared at Gu Yan: "What were you doing just now?"
Gu Yan was very calm and calm: "Wipe your mouth for you, there is yogurt on your mouth."
Qi Xi bluffed and slightly raised his voice: "I have my own hands!"
Gu Yan's expression was natural and calm, but probably because of the alcohol, Gu Yan's face was a little red, and the man glanced at Qi Xi: "Didn't your hands fall off automatically because of your squeamishness?"
After Gu Yan finished speaking, he picked up the six packing boxes by himself, and walked towards Cheng Junliang to pay the bill, leaving Qi Xi stunned.
Why does it sound like Gu Yan is out of kindness to help his delicate self, but Qi Xi always feels like he was being bullied by Gu Yan instead
