In the early morning of the next day, Shen Mingying came to Ruan Yu's apartment again. Her boyfriend confiscated her mobile phone with great force, carried her into bed after a sleepless night, went to the living room by himself, and called a friend in the legal industry.
The situation is out of control, and the current conflict of public opinion has nothing to do with "writing poets", but with the long Weibo author "Su Cheng".
This person had been at odds with Ruan Yu two years earlier, and this time he obviously took the opportunity to take the lead. They discussed and decided last night to resolve the issue through judicial channels.
Ruan Yu woke up after three hours of sleep, went to the kitchen to make brunch, pasta with vegetable soup, and when the plate came out, Shen Mingying said excitedly: "I have contacted Zhikun Law Firm, which is in Hangzhou. Lawyers Your electronic business card has been sent to your email address."
She said "Okay", and after placing the plate, her face changed in the next second: "Is the world so small?"
Or is Hangzhou too small
Shen Mingying asked her what was wrong.
Ruan Yu shook his phone, his face wrinkled together: "This person is my previous blind date."
Just the day before yesterday, Liu Mao contacted her once on WeChat, asking if the troubles of that day were resolved. She didn't intend to have a deep relationship with him, and she didn't want to trouble others, so she lied that "it was resolved".
Shen Mingying was speechless for a long time, and asked: "Then what should I do, the situation statement has been sent."
What can be done? The lawyer who got in touch after going through several favors, said that it would be embarrassing for the middleman to change.
And according to Shen Mingying's friend, Zhikun is the most outstanding law firm in Hangzhou, and Liu Mao's professional field perfectly fits Ruan Yu's needs. You can't just give up the best choice just because you lied.
Ruan Yu sniffed: "That's it, I'll contact him."
When Liu Mao answered the phone, he was obviously also surprised. But he seemed to be quite considerate, and he didn't expose her lie, and took it over naturally.
After talking a few words, he said, "Whenever is convenient for Ms. Ruan, let's have a face-to-face meeting."
Regardless of whether he has selfish intentions or not, this kind of thing can't be clearly explained on the phone. Ruan Yu agreed, saying that she could do it anytime.
Liu Mao was probably looking at the schedule. After a moment of silence, he said, "I have a court hearing today. Can I be at the office at ten o'clock tomorrow morning?"
"No problem. So is there anything I can do today?"
"You can take the key records of slandering and slandering you on the Internet platform to the notary office for online evidence preservation, and I will assist you remotely. In addition, don't disclose your willingness to sue for the time being, so as not to startle the snake. Other evidence that has not been released can also Also stand still. Since we are going to file a lawsuit, we can't show our cards too early."
He was not stage fright when he talked about work, and Ruan Yu trusted him by explaining everything in detail, especially the last sentence "we", which gave her a real sense of security.
She said, "I see, thank you, Lawyer Liu."
Liu Mao said "You're welcome", and just happened to get another call, so she hung up on her, and then connected to the next one: "Huai Song? Is there any problem with the information I gave you last time?"
At eight o'clock the next morning, Ruan Yu lingered in front of the dressing table, worrying.
She hasn't slept well for a few days, so she shouldn't wear makeup, it's not suitable to have dark circles under her eyes, but she can put on full makeup, and she's afraid that Liu Mao will cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
After all, she was a blind date, and the relationship was a little sensitive, but this time she just wanted to do business.
She hesitated for a few minutes, put on a light base makeup, picked up a stack of documents that Liu Mao asked her to prepare in advance, and went out.
As soon as he walked to the entrance, he happened to receive a call from him.
His voice sounded apologetic: "Miss Ruan, I'm sorry, I may have a friend here later."
"Have a friend?" Ruan Yu didn't understand for a moment, thinking that this was to let her dove.
"It's what I mentioned to you last time. The senior member of our firm happened to be in China. He said that he was very interested in intellectual property and wanted to participate in this case."
Ruan Yu breathed a sigh of relief. What does she think is a big deal.
She said "it doesn't matter", and in order to dispel his worries, she smiled and said, "It's a good thing for me to have two lawyers at the partner level participate together."
"Hmm..." Liu Mao pondered.
"What's wrong?"
The other end laughed twice: "That's right. Strictly speaking, he hasn't taken the domestic bar exam, so he's not considered a lawyer here."
Oh, Ruan Yu understood why he was sorry. He was worried that he would make her feel rude if he brought a "non-professional" colleague.
But it does sound strange. Since he doesn't even have a domestic lawyer qualification certificate, is that "financial father" coming to watch the show
"If you mind..."
"It's okay." Ruan Yu said immediately.
It was clear at first glance that Liu Mao was in a rather difficult situation. If he could just drive away the boss, would he still need to apologize to her
Of course she didn't want to make it difficult for him.
"Then I'll see you later."
"see you later."
After making a decision, Ruan Yu put on his shoes and went out. Before he closed the door, he glanced back at the calendar on the white wall: May 11th.
This date was inexplicably familiar to her mouth, and she thought about it all the way before she remembered what was going on.
It's her diary.
In the attic of my hometown back then, the opening page of the diary was: "May 11th, the weather was fine. I met Xu Huaisong three times today."
She was in the taxi and sighed at the thought.
On this day ten years ago, Xu Huaisong was everywhere in his heart, and on this day ten years later, he was busy with a lawsuit brought about by him.
She was an angel in her previous life, and when she broke her wings, she hit Xu Huaisong, and now she's here to pay off the debt, right
Ruan Yu tilted his head and looked out the window with emotion, his eyes were indifferent until the words "Zhikun Law Firm" in bold appeared in his sight.
The office is a single-family building with a Nordic style as a whole. I don't know whose aesthetics it is, but a sense of "sexual frigidity" blows over my face.
She got out of the car, reported her name to the front desk, and went up to the third floor with the receptionist.
The young man who led her in saw her silent all the way, and said with a smile: "Miss Ruan is here for the first time, our office is not so serious, you feel cautious if you are not familiar with it, just come a few more times."
Ruan Yu coughed and said in a low voice, "I don't really want to come here a few more times..."
"..." is also oh.
Chen Hui scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "You are very humorous." When he reached the stairs, he stretched out his hand, "Go straight to the end, and the one on the left is right there. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. My surname is Chen, and you can call me Xiao Chen."
Ruan Yu said "thank you", and when he reached the door of the negotiation room, he knocked on the door three times to show his courtesy.
There was a "please come in" from inside, which should be Liu Mao's voice.
She pressed the doorknob and went in, seeing Liu Mao who was sitting on the brown leather sofa get up quickly, and greeted him with a smile: "Miss Ruan."
Ruan Yu called him "Lawyer Liu" and glanced at another sofa chair in front of him.
There was someone sitting there.
The man seemed to have no intention of getting up. He was looking down at the information, with his back turned to her, only the back of his head showing.
But at a glance, she felt shockingly familiar, just like the strange feeling that arose in her heart when she saw the date "May 11".
The one who gave her a strange feeling just by the back of his head
She froze for a moment, but for some reason, her heart beat unstoppably fast.
Liu Mao's voice interrupted her train of thought at the right time. Seeing where her eyes fell, she realized the impoliteness of the "host" and said, "Ah, let me introduce..."
The person on the sofa seemed to hesitate for a second, then stood up and turned around.
Ruan Yu's eyes moved accordingly, and when he landed on the face of the person opposite, he was completely dumbfounded in place with his heartbeat that had already been on high alert.
In midsummer and May, the negotiation room was air-conditioned, but the blood in her body surged rapidly at this moment, the heat soared, and her head felt dizzy for a while.
It's like encountering the Three Gorges Dam suddenly opening the gates to release the flood, and listening to the ups and downs.
The eyes of the two met through a layer of scorching air. As if she had been burned by something, she let go of her hand, and all the translucent file bags in her arms fell to the ground with a crackle.
Thin lips, flat eyebrows and deep sockets, this face.
Xu Huaisong
How could it be Xu Huaisong
The partner Liu Mao was talking about was Xu Huaisong
The "Three Questions of Death" that hit the bottom of my heart made Ruan Yu almost rub his eyes. Fortunately, Liu Mao's action of picking up the file bag reminded her, she quickly squatted down, and said dizzily, "Sorry... I will do it myself."
In fact, Liu Mao was also dizzy. He didn't even have time to export his introduction, what's wrong with both sides
While Ruan Yu buried his head in picking up the documents, his eyes drifted wildly to the pair of shiny leather shoes not far away. He felt that the other party's eyes seemed to be on the hair on the top of his head, and felt that his scalp was almost burnt.
Shouldn't it be Xu Huaisong? She was crazy about writing novels, did she admit to the wrong person
He's been gone for eight years, hasn't he
Luckily, she picked up a bunch of paper bags, and Liu Mao also straightened up, looked at the two of them in doubt, and asked, "You two know each other?"
Xu Huaisong's eyes moved away from Ruan Yu's body, and before he opened his mouth, he heard her rush to answer: "I don't know, I don't know..."
She seemed a little guilty after answering, and lowered her eyes a little, so she didn't notice Xu Huaisong's slight eyebrow raising.
In the silence, she lowered her head and heard his answer: "Well, I don't know him."
Even the sound is similar...
Ruan Yu was almost suffocated, and Liu Mao tried to resolve the inexplicable embarrassing atmosphere, and said with a smile to her: "Then let me introduce, this is the partner of our law firm, Xu Huaisong."
She tightened the document bag in her arms, raised her eyes, and nodded to the person opposite: "Hello."
Liu Mao then introduced Ruan Yu: "This is the client of this case, Ms. Ruan."
Xu Huaisong nodded and said, "Hello."
Seeing the strange state of the two of them, it might not be suitable for a polite handshake. Liu Mao couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask them to sit down.
Ruan Yu walked towards the sofa chair, his steps were all vain.
In fact, when she still had some unresolved feelings for Xu Huaisong a few years ago, she also fantasized about reuniting with him one day after a long absence. ——For example, in the colorful streets, or in the crowded playground, the beach where the sea and the sky line.
Romantic, gorgeous, full of all good colors.
But it's definitely not like it is now.
She, a twenty-six-year-old "middle-aged girl", was casually wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, holding a stack of materials filled with all fantasies about him from body to soul, and she was about to address these fantasies, and He conducts in-depth legal discussions himself.
Too, too embarrassing.
Ruan Yu stood up straight the moment he was about to touch the sofa chair. Xu Huaisong and Liu Maoqi, who were already seated, looked up at her.
She suppressed the anxiety in her heart, looked down at them with the documents in her hand, and said solemnly: "Two lawyers, as the saying goes, you have to forgive others and forgive others; endure a moment of calm, take a step back, and the sea and the sky will be brighter; saving a life is better than making seven grades." Buddha…”
Xu Huaisong raised his eyebrows again, and behind those gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes gradually became darker, but quickly faded away.
Ruan Yu bit the bullet and continued, lying with a lack of confidence: "I mean, I suddenly don't want to sue..."
