Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 1598 Family and Business

Meanwhile, the lawyer received a communication from his wife.

"Are you there?" Opposite Yu Jian, the woman's voice was gentle, but also mixed with a touch of hoarseness, as if shrouded in lingering exhaustion all the time, "Well, it's nothing, I just want to ask you, what is today? Yingying's birthday, will you come back to eat with us at night?"

"It doesn't matter to me." Then, the wife sighed as if mocking herself, "Anyway, I know that in your heart, work is always more important than our family. But the child wants you to come back... she When I went out in the morning, I asked me eagerly if my father would come back, what would you like me to tell her?"

"Usually, how many of the things you promised her were postponed because of busy work. The child has such a birthday all year round. You should think about it yourself."

go back?The lawyer glanced at the mountain of case files on the table, and the defense strategy has not yet been figured out, let alone today, I am afraid that he will have to work overtime every day in the future.

"Xiaoying, didn't you just celebrate your birthday?" While continuing to flip through the criminal law book, he was also perfunctory, "Her classmate seems to have given her a big Transformer?"

"That's all happened last year!" The wife's tone of voice suddenly became higher, with full of complaints, "How can there be a father like you, you don't care about the children's affairs at all, I see you, you don't even care about your children. You don’t even know that your child will be admitted to the higher education department next year?”

"As I remember, Xiaoying's grades have always been pretty good." The lawyer frowned slightly, took a pen, and circled the relevant laws and regulations, "He has always been the first in the class, so we don't have to worry about it."

"Can you go back... I have to look at it again. There are a lot of things, and I may not be able to finish it. Otherwise, don't wait for me."

"Okay...you are busy, you are busy!" The wife's voice trembled, revealing a kind of suppressed anger, "You are busy working all day, and you have ruined your own reputation! After so many years, you represent How many of the parties involved are good people? You did not hesitate to use deceit to help them win a light sentence, just to earn so much money, even my children and I were stabbed in the back by neighbors... You did those things that hurt morality, you Are you not afraid of retribution on us?"

"Do you think that you are very special, a gold medal lawyer, and the chief legal adviser of Shengyuan Group. People seem to be polite when they see you, but do you know what people say about you behind your back? They say you want Money is shameless!"

"Hey, I have to talk to you about your matter." The lawyer changed the hands of the receiver. When it comes to his own career, he obviously pays more attention to it.

"No matter what crime the defendant has committed, it is his legitimate right to have a lawyer defend him, and no one has the right to deprive him of it. Even if no one takes up the case, the county government will assign a lawyer to defend him. Someone has to do this.”

"You think that helping good people have a good reputation, and other lawyers also think so. If everyone is vying to accept one party's entrustment, what will the other party do? Some people still have to accept it. With the same effort, one party will get Praise, the other party suffers from infamy, do you think this is fair?"

"I did what most people wouldn't do. I was 'sacrificing my career' you know?"

"Now that I have accepted the entrustment of one party, I will naturally fight for his interests wholeheartedly. No matter how I think about him in my heart, I can't help the other party and make trouble for him. I can do it Separating emotion from reason, and not defending my position for the influence of personal feelings, this just proves my professionalism!"

He spoke eloquently and eloquently, as if what he was facing now was a trial.

"Okay, okay, don't bring home what you did in the courtroom, I don't understand, ah, I don't want to hear it either." His wife interrupted him impatiently, "There, Yingying, you Tell her yourself that you won't come back, don't let me carry everything for you. I still have to cook, so that's it first. "

With a bang, the communication was disconnected.The lawyer shook his head helplessly, and put the communicator back in place.

Like many male chauvinists, he has always believed that the most important thing for a man is to fight for his career, and only when his career is successful will others respect you.As for the family, it is a place to rest, a "strategic rear".Therefore, the rear must be stable and not cause too much trouble for yourself.

He and his current wife met on a blind date.At that time, he held the mentality of "marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous man", and only wanted to find a woman who could take care of the family for him. As for whether she was beautiful or not, that didn't matter.

Maybe it was because of his good luck that he met someone who satisfied him within a few blind dates.Good-looking, gentle and virtuous, he works as a music tutor in the academy.Although his personality is a bit introverted, but for him, this is enough.

The nature of his occupation determines that he has to do a lot of communication during working hours.Talking outside is enough, and he doesn't want to find such a lively wife and have to spend extra energy to coax her.Just don't talk much, just bury your head in housework, take care of your husband and teach your children, that's fine.

His wife is also very satisfied with him.His eloquent and eloquent elite temperament was originally very attractive to the opposite sex.The two only dated a few times before finalizing their relationship.

Perhaps it is also the reason for being a habitual lawyer, he has a habit of not giving an inch in the conversation.Your point of view is inconsistent with mine, but I think I am correct, then I will cite classics and must refute you.Such a style will put a lot of pressure on people in a relationship. There is a saying that "a man who wins a fight with his girlfriend ends up single."

But his wife is really submissive, no matter how much he argues, she has never blushed with him, and mostly obeys him: "You are right." This undoubtedly makes him very satisfied.

The first quarrel they had after their marriage was related to his career.

At that time, he took a case and defended a criminal suspect. His wife was very excited when she found out what happened. She said that the victim in this case was about the same age as our daughter. who defended it?

At the beginning, he patiently explained to her, but this time his gentle wife was relentless. She kept repeating how pitiful the victims were, and that the criminals should be punished by the most severe laws and so on.He gradually became irritable.

He couldn't understand why his wife was so emotional, just like those foolish people who could be easily bewitched by public opinion.When he saw something, he would yell, and when he saw something, he would cry. He didn't have the patience to tell her any more, so he took the file and went to the office.

With his hard work and the cooperation of some unorthodox means, he won the case, and the verdict was lighter than the media expected.He had a good celebration with some friends outside, but after returning home, his wife didn't speak to him for several days.

Sometimes the wife would cry silently, saying: "If one day our daughter is killed, as long as you are given enough money, you will defend the murderer, right?" The horns were sharp, in her heart she really equated the victimized girl with their daughter, which made him feel baffled and ridiculous.

After this incident, he realized that he and his wife had different views.He values ​​interests more, while his wife values ​​"justice" more. On this point, he cannot persuade his wife to move closer to him.

But other than that, his wife is indeed virtuous, so he didn't think about divorce, but he will seldom talk to his wife about matters related to lawsuits in the future.

After a few years of peace like this, as his reputation became more and more famous, many lawsuits he handled were on the news, and it was difficult for his wife not to know.And most of these cases were quite vile criminal cases, which stabbed his wife's heart again, and she began to feel sorry for the victims again, complaining that she had no conscience.

There was even one time, when they had the most intense quarrel, the wife said in tears, I was willing to marry you, in addition to liking you, a large part of it was because of my good opinion of the profession of lawyers .In my mind, lawyers should uphold justice for those who have been wronged. Lawyers should be great, not like you, who help the evildoers and help the powerful turn black and white!

She said, you know what, you really completely destroyed my admiration for this profession.

That was the heaviest thing she ever said to him.

At that time, he knew that the relationship between them was irretrievable.

Maybe two people with different views can't get along no matter what.

Over the years, he has watched his wife become more and more haggard.From a quiet and innocent girl, she was worn down day by day by the disappointment accumulated in her marriage and turned into a yellow-faced woman.

His career has been going uphill all the time, he is proud of his life, he is getting younger and younger, but his wife seems to be getting more and more vicissitudes.However, she is still virtuous, and she still does her best to do housework well, and she puts more of the focus of life on her daughter.

Her husband has let her down, and her daughter has become her only spiritual sustenance.Except for their daughter's affairs, they can hardly say a few words now.

My daughter is like her, kind, simple, and has very good grades.Only when going to the parent-teacher meeting will the wife's face shine again.

The days passed like this.Neither of them thought about divorce.

For him, it was too troublesome, and he was too lazy to find another one.As for the wife, her family education is very rigid. If the husband and wife have a disagreement, the family will intuitively think that it is her fault.Even her mother gave her a serious lecture, telling her that a woman should regard her husband as the heaven, and she must treat her husband well.

Born in such a family, it is completely impossible for her to divorce independently.

Now the only thing that can connect these two people who have different dreams in the same bed is probably their daughter.The daughter is very dependent on them, and they also hope to give her a complete family.Just make do with it.

He pinched the bridge of his nose, and when the lawyer was about to continue working, his assistant knocked on the door and came in, sending him a letter.

It was sent from the prison, and it was sent by Sheng Zeqi, a client he had represented.

He said in the letter that he recently fell in love with a girl, which he dreamed about.Now he can't be sure if she is real, but he is serious this time, if he can find her, he is willing to treat her well for the rest of his life.

He also drew a picture in the letter, which is the outline of a girl, please help him find it outside.

Looking at his letter, the lawyer couldn't help laughing, even diluting the pressure brought by his wife.

After taking so many cases, he is still very good at judging people.From the very beginning when he came into contact with Sheng Ze, it was obvious that he was really not that kind of vicious criminal, but just a spoiled and willful child.Many of his ideas are very simple, so simple that people find it interesting.Take this time as an example, he would really like a girl of his dreams, which is a pure manifestation.

At that time, although I told him that the court is the battlefield, and the relationship between them is similar to that of comrades-in-arms, but to be more realistic, it is better to say that they are just a relationship of mutual use.

He wants to use himself to help him with the lawsuit, and he also wants to use him to earn money and become famous.And they did get what they wanted.

To me, he is just an ordinary client, the only thing that is a bit special is that he is also the son of his boss.

Unexpectedly, after the case was closed, he trusted himself a lot and regarded himself as a dependable elder. He was willing to write to himself and tell him many things that he was unwilling to tell Mr. Sheng.

He is also very careful. At the beginning, he just casually mentioned the birthday for his daughter, and he remembered the date.In the next year, he specially sent a letter in time, wishing his "little sister" a happy birthday, and drew her a birthday-themed picture.

The paintings are very beautiful, he paints every year, and he has piled up many envelopes in his home.The daughter liked him very much after seeing the painting, and wanted to try to reply to this "brother who had never met before".But the wife objected. She didn't have any affection for his client, and she didn't want her daughter to have anything to do with them.

Therefore, these paintings became a secret shared by him and his daughter.He will quietly give it to her, and the daughter will hide it in her room.The wife probably knew about it too, but as long as they didn't bring it up in front of her, she couldn't see it or worry about it.

Now the lawyer took a few glances at the "Dream Girl" he painted, and for some reason, this girl looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.But he didn't have time to investigate in detail. If he had that time, he might as well investigate a few more cases of the same kind.Anyway, write back to him in a few days and tell him that he tried his best to check it, but he didn't find it, that's it.

Speaking of which, since today is my daughter's birthday... the lawyer suddenly thought of something, and turned the letter to the back. Sure enough, he still maintained the annual tradition of wishing his little sister a happy birthday.

An outsider can remember her daughter's birthday and wish her every year, but I don't remember it. It seems that it is really inappropriate... After this subtle guilt flashed in my heart, the lawyer looked at the documents on the table again, and thought for a while. After a while, he finally decided to pack his briefcase and go back first.

At worst, I will have to work overtime for a few more days. After all, my daughter's birthday is only once a year.
