Xu Huaisong hurried out of the court with his mobile phone in hand, and said to Liu Mao, "I'm not very proficient at Wubi."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in a suit and leather shoes chased out from the towering white building behind him, and came to thank him specially, saying that his expression in the court defense was very beautiful, and he was sorry for his misunderstanding of him before.
This is someone from SG. Yesterday Xu Huaisong suddenly returned to China without saying hello. At first, he mistakenly thought that he had run away and almost demolished his law firm.
Xu Huaisong took the phone from the far away call and said you're welcome.
Pure and pleasant American pronunciation.
A Lincoln was parked not far away, and someone had already opened the door for him. He nodded to the other party, and sat in the back seat before holding the phone closer again.
Liu Mao on the other end started to talk about business: "You got the case for you."
Xu Huaisong was polite this time: "It's hard work."
In contrast, Liu Mao stiffened: "People hide from you like the plague. You are buying and selling by force. There are so many law firms in Hangzhou, why does she have to choose Zhikun?"
"Because of this lawsuit, only I know how to fight it."
"Just such a civil dispute, which law firm can't handle it? Oh, and, you are interested in her, that's no problem, but in this matter, you are a lawyer first, and you can't do whatever the client says? What does she want? , you said it could be achieved without blinking your eyes?"
Xu Huaisong laughed.
The driver in the driver's seat saw that he was in a good mood and grinned at the rearview mirror.
He looked back at the other party, nodded friendly, and smiled even more when he spoke again: "I blinked. Also, I don't know what I mean to her, you know?"
Liu Mao choked, marveling that he had completely missed the point.
"I'm talking about the case..."
"When I say it can be achieved, I am making a judgment from the perspective of a lawyer."
"No, the domestic legal system is different from yours. If this case is placed in China, it should start with the theft of the outline."
"In any country, you should start with the theft of the outline," Xu Huaisong corrected him, listening to the phone with the other ear, "but what if the outline wasn't stolen at all?"
Liu Mao was stunned: "What did you say?"
Just as Xu Huaisong was about to explain, there was a sudden vibration in his palm. He moved his phone away, saw a new message on WeChat, and changed his message: "Did you push my business card to her?"
"yes."
"Then let's not talk about it."
Liu Mao on the other end tried to stop with an "ah" sound, but he cut off the phone anyway.
But when Xu Huaisong clicked on WeChat, what he saw was Xu Huaishi's news.
Poetry: "Brother, sister Ruan's Weibo has not been active for the past few days, and comments and private messages are still closed. Didn't you tell me to leave this matter alone and leave it to you?"
The implication is, why it hasn't been dealt with after so many days.
He bowed his head and typed: "Not so fast, you study hard."
"Are you sure you don't want me to make a new statement?"
Xu Huaisong sent a voice over: "Before I lied boldly, but now I regret it? Any statement must be held accountable. Now it is the cusp of the storm. This juncture is completely overthrown and restarted. Have you ever thought about how public opinion will deteriorate? Do you think , Is there anyone who believes in you, in her?"
Shi Jingbing: "I know I was wrong...then let's give Senior Sister Ruan an explanation in private, shall we?"
Xu Huaisong: "There is no "we". The private explanation is between me and her. Shut up."
Poetry: "Oh...but brother, I've been thinking about this so much that I can't even read the books. I think I might need a huge sum of money to divert my attention. [Lovely] that... Li Shican's concert tickets are going on sale soon oh!"
Xu Huaisong didn't call her back, just transferred the money, and before putting down his phone, he took another look at the "Contacts" under the message bar.
It was empty there, and there were no red circles marked with numbers.
Ruan Yu hesitated for a long time, and only gave up struggling near the evening. He clicked on Xu Huaisong's business card for the hundredth time, and pressed "Add to Contacts" boldly, but was stuck in the process of sending the verification application again.
What do you say
Hello Lawyer Xu, I'm Ruan Yu
Lawyer Xu, excuse me, please go through the application
She shook her head, deleted the full typed line, and sank into the sofa holding her phone.
This situation is very similar to high school.
When she first fell in love with Xu Huaisong back then, she actually considered confessing her love, and relying on her dad being his head teacher, she secretly obtained his QQ number. But he just didn't have the courage to send the application, so he could only stare at his little personal information that hadn't changed for thousands of years and go back and forth.
One bang, then decline, three exhaustion, so she didn't add his QQ for three years.
After calming down for a while, the phone suddenly vibrated. She thought it was a message from someone, but when she picked it up, it turned out—Xu Huaisong: "I passed your friend verification request, and now we can start chatting."
Ruan Yu bounced up instantly.
She sent the message? Accidentally pressed it? What is her verification content
After tossing and turning and getting no answer, she jumped off the sofa anxiously, took a few steps and then crawled back silently, brushing her bangs.
Xu Huaisong on the other end of the phone stared at the screen, watching the greeting saying "Slightly slightly slightly slightly" and curled the corners of his mouth.
what is she doing
It was early morning in San Francisco, and Ruan Yu didn't know that he had returned to the United States in the blink of an eye, so he sent the message at this time.
He picked up the coffee in hand and took a sip, waiting for her to speak, but there was no movement on the screen.
This silence is like a "confrontation" that lasted for three years in high school. On the stage they built, they acted back-to-back, invisible to each other, and mistakenly thought that all the affection was a script of one person.
But that curtain was lifted many years later.
Xu Huaisong glanced at the interface of Jinjiang novels that had been torn up by him on the screen of his mobile phone, got up and walked to the huge French windows, looking at the bright lights of the city that never go out at night, seeing the golden spots projected on the wide open space in the distance. On the surface of the water, pulsating with the wind, there is a little burning feeling in the tranquility.
After a while, his phone vibrated again.
Nephrite: "Hello, Lawyer Xu, I'm Ruan Yu, we met yesterday."
Judging by his tone, he still intends to continue pretending not to know him.
He blinked lightly, and typed in cooperation: "Hello."
"Lawyer Xu, if it is convenient, I would like to ask you a question."
"Um."
"Um... what is the content of the verification I just sent?"
Xu Huaisong smiled at the screen, as if reading her collapse and struggle from the string of ellipses. Ten seconds later, he simply took a screenshot for her.
Nephrite: "..."
After a full two minutes of silence, the phone vibrated again.
Nephrite: "I'm sorry, I accidentally pressed it... Attorney Xu, are you in the United States now?"
Xu Huaisong glanced at the information of his mobile phone operator exposed in the screenshot, and replied, "Yes."
Nephrite: "Sorry, I don't know..."
Xu Huaisong wanted to say it's okay, he was a late sleeper, but after typing, he felt that the tone was inappropriate, so he deleted it.
In this moment of silence, Ruan Yu has already connected: "Sorry to disturb your rest, let's talk again when it is convenient for you."
He looked back at the empty cup of coffee and squeezed the space between his eyebrows.
God has finished mentioning it, which means that he can go to sleep
Ruan Yu didn't send any more messages. He turned to her circle of friends, stared at the blank interface, and the line "friends only show the circle of friends of the last three days" for five minutes, and pressed the lock screen button.
Seemingly annoyed by her distant attitude of pretending to be stupid, Xu Huaisong turned and walked into the bathroom, and took off his bathrobe again.
The water from the shower dripped from head to toe, and after a shower, he came out with wet hair, glanced at the phone on the table, finally picked it up, and replied: "It's five o'clock in the afternoon in San Francisco time."
So Ruan Yu got another key message that he was in San Francisco.
In the past eight years, he may have lived in that place more than 10,000 kilometers away from her, separated by the entire Pacific Ocean.
Of course, it will be the same in the future.
She was suddenly a little rejoiced.
In this way, they don't need to communicate face to face, and all secrets will become much safer across the screen.
So five minutes later, when Xu Huaisong attached her email address and asked her to send the information first, she also made up her mind to take the overall situation into consideration and didn't hesitate anymore.
But this night, Ruan Yu still didn't sleep well. Because 5:00 p.m. in San Francisco time is 8:00 a.m. in Beijing time, which means that she will have to discuss the case with Xu Huaisong as soon as she opens her eyes.
Surrounded by online violence for a while, her biological clock was already disordered, and this agreement put pressure on her, causing her insomnia for most of the night, so that when the alarm clock rang at 7:30, she couldn't resist and choked it in seconds.
When I woke up again, it was already past the appointed time, and the phone screen displayed "08:27". Ruan Yu regained consciousness and got out of bed.
She was relieved to see no news when she opened WeChat. As a lawyer in California, Xu Huaisong should not be a leisurely person, so he wouldn't wait for her.
But an apology is still due.
She hurriedly sent a message: "Lawyer Xu, I'm really sorry, I got up late, are you free now?"
There was no reply from that end.
Ruan Yu got out of bed to wash up, and the phone was still quiet until after breakfast. So she didn't have to gobble it up, and could fill her stomach slowly.
Just as she put down the empty milk can, the phone vibrated, as if she was sure she had finished her breakfast. She opened it and saw a simple "um" from Xu Huaisong.
Ruan Yu has no experience in litigation, so he doesn't know how to communicate with lawyers. Seeing that he is so cold and doesn't dominate the conversation, he can only type again: "Then let's talk about the case?"
"Let's talk."
Ruan Yu was taken aback, isn't he in San Francisco
next second.
Xu Huaisong: "Video, if it's convenient."
The author has something to say: Song Song: Are you ignoring me
Ruan Ruan: No QAQ, it was WeChat who made the first move!
