If this is not love

Chapter 24 is still here (4)
If she said that holding hands with Wang Yichen again, she felt nervous and excited... He heard it, and wished he could hold her hand and wash it ten or eight times.

If she said, they were almost about to kiss, but unfortunately, at the critical moment, they felt a bit of embarrassment inexplicably, and turned their heads at the same time.She thought, the time for KISS has not come yet, after all, they have been good friends for ten years and need time to adapt.Hearing this, Tan Shaojie was very grateful for that "critical moment", otherwise...

Such days continued for a few more days.

The end of the year is getting closer and closer, and the work of the firm has become busy again.There were economic dispute cases, smuggling crimes, and domestic violence and divorce cases, but Ruxu couldn't dismiss the case, so she lined up three in one go.

Tan Shaojie went to work on time every day, and he also started to take over CASE.The first time he took a criminal case turned out to be a criminal case. The suspect was charged with premeditated murder. The case was complicated and he appeared in court as a defense lawyer.That day, all the colleagues in the firm were sitting in the auditorium, all looking forward to it, curious about how he would behave.

As a prosecutor, Han Chen was also present in the courtroom. Ruxu exchanged glances with him from a distance, nodded and smiled.

Afterwards, she sat in the auditorium, straightened her waist, clenched her hands into fists on her knees, and stared at Tan Shaojie intently.Generally speaking, such a case should be defended by an experienced lawyer, so as to be more sure of victory. Tan Shaojie has never actually litigated, what will be the result?

"Xiaoxu, do you think Young Master Tan will win?"

"do not know."

"This case is very pending. All the evidence is against the suspect. The murder charge is unavoidable. If Tan Shao can win, he will really become famous in the industry."

"En." Ruxu pursed her lips, for some reason, she also felt nervous.Since Tan Shaojie took over the case, he no longer idled around. He worked hard in the office during the day, and went to her house to have dinner at night. She was driven to the kitchen, and he was typing in front of the computer, sometimes frowning and thinking, and sometimes smiling...

She took time out of her busy schedule to study this case, and felt that the chance of winning was not high, but it was not hopeless.Last night, when he was still sleeping on her sofa and covering him with a blanket, she suddenly thought that no matter whether the lawsuit wins or loses, at least he has worked hard.

In the solemn and tense atmosphere, Tan Shaojie was calm and composed, his eyes were full of confidence, he spoke eloquently, calmly put forward his own cross-examination opinions on the evidence of the prosecution, and clearly expounded his own defense views.The judge announced an adjournment, and everyone held their breaths waiting for the trial results——
Although the defendant had the fact of murder, there was a reason for the incident in this case, and the defendant's behavior was justifiable self-defense.Therefore, the charge of intentional homicide was not convicted, and the sentence is as follows...

As soon as the verdict came out, everyone was in an uproar!

Ruxu couldn't help applauding and stood up.What Tan Shaojie brings to everyone is not a surprise, but a shock, right?He actually won, really won, and could make murder a self-defense, she had to admire him.

As soon as she got out of the court, she saw an elderly couple in plain and shabby clothes came to greet him, crying and laughing at Tan Shaojie, holding his hand tightly, almost kneeling in front of him.Tan Shaojie hurriedly helped them up and sent them to the taxi himself.

Ruxu approached him, "Who are those two old people?"

Tan Shaojie touched his nose with a smile: "Secret."

She chased after her, "You are not allowed to keep secrets from me!"

He couldn't help laughing: "Why not? You are not my wife."

She blushed: "Because I have no secrets for you anymore, and I have told you everything. It's not a private matter, why can't you tell me?"

He stopped and pointed to his cheek, "Okay! If you want to know, just give me a kiss."

Damn boy, make fun of her again!Standing on tiptoe, she suddenly reached out and squeezed his face: "Damn it! Tan Shaojie, don't think I can't guess. That couple is the defendant's family members, grandparents, right? The defendant grew up with the old man since childhood, you I was afraid that the old people would not be able to stand the stimulation because they were too old, so they were told not to enter the court to listen. On the other hand, in fact, you have already been sure that you have found evidence to prove that the defendant was just self-defense..."

"Small sample, not bad! You've seen through it all." He proudly raised the corners of his lips, his handsome features were especially handsome under the warm sun.

Ruxu didn't say that she secretly peeked at his documents in the morning, but she still didn't expect his performance in court to be so good.

The more I know about this man, the more I realize that he is not as useless as before.

Ruxu looked at Tan Shaojie, feeling confused, what kind of guy is he?It often surprises her.

The two of them hadn't finished talking when Zhou Wei'an and his wife appeared on the steps outside the court.Qiao Weiwei walked behind, with big sunglasses covering her face, her face was pale, her red lips were tightly pressed, and she left in the other direction with a cold snort as soon as she went out.It turned out that their case was in the second trial in the next court.

Ruxu met them, a little embarrassed, unable to tell whether it was embarrassment or shame, and quickly said to Tan Shaojie: "Talk slowly, I'll go first."

Before he could move, Zhou Wei'an's wife, Chen Yirong, said coldly: "Hey! I said Lawyer Wang, why did you leave as soon as you saw us? Speaking of which, you won the lawsuit last time because you helped a woman surnamed Qiao to frame her. Don't you want to know the result of our appeal? Today's lawyers and judges are very fair!"

Ruxu didn't want to know, but from Chen Yirong's tone, anyone who wasn't stupid could guess the result.I'm sorry to Zhou Wei'an, but it doesn't mean I have to accept his wife's bitter ridicule, Ruxu turned her face to Zhou Wei'an, and said sincerely, "Congratulations."

"Thank you. Lawyer Wang, I really want to thank you for Shanshan's sake." Zhou Wei'an smiled and nodded at her in a very gracious manner. Battle, now it is being widely praised inside and outside the court, your kid is going to become famous."

Tan Shaojie raised his chin proudly, "Really? I thought I was already famous."

"Stinky bastard! Arrogant guy!" Zhou Wei'an elbowed him hard, and he quickly jumped away.

"Hehe, why? You can't think of it, you want to be jealous of me?" Tan Shaojie retaliated bluntly, elbowing him suddenly, Zhou Wei'an was hit, screaming in pain, it seems that the two men are in a good mood.

With Ruxu beside her, she couldn't help laughing.It wasn't until this moment that she felt that the shadow of Qiao Weiwei's case had finally disappeared from her heart.

Zhou Wei'an pointed at them: "Today is really a good day, the wind and the water are smooth, do you want to celebrate together? Or is it just the two of you?"

"What a world of two people..." Ruxu realized, "Things of a feather flock together" is absolutely correct, the way Zhou Wei'an and Tan Shaojie spoke is infinitely similar, but Mrs. Zhou's face is really ugly, people who don't know think her appeal has failed too!

Tan Shaojie said with a smile: "I also want a world of two, but unfortunately I don't have a chance! Look at my gang, they all said they want to celebrate together!" After finishing speaking, a group of smiling people came down the steps one after another, all business colleagues. "Look! Fortunately, Xiaoxu and I came out early, otherwise we wouldn't even have the chance to talk alone."

Zhou Wei'an still wanted to say a few words, and the nanny got out of the car with Shanshan, and came to greet them.

"Father." Shanshan ran over happily, Zhou Wei'an picked up her daughter, spun around, and kissed the child's face, showing how close the father and daughter are.Shanshan stretched out her small arms, hooked them around Chen Yirong's neck, and called out sweetly: "Mom, Dad, can we go home?"

Only then did Chen Yirong calm down a little, and took the child from Zhou Wei'an's hand, "Go, I'll take you back."

Shanshan didn't have time to greet Tan Shaojie and Ruxu, so she had to shake her hands vigorously: "Uncle Jie, Auntie Xiaoxu, next time you will take me to Anti-Dou Paradise! Uncle Jie is awesome! Auntie Xu... goodbye!"

Ruxu likes Xiao Shanshan from the bottom of her heart, and secretly feels sad that she has a mother with a bad temper. She hopes that Chen Yirong can realize how important family warmth is to a child's growth.Speaking of which, although Zhou Wei'an had an affair, he is indeed a good father who loves his children...

Zhou Wei'an's family left, and all the colleagues in the office pointed at Jie Xu and said in unison: "There is a situation!"

Tan Shaojie touched his nose with a smile, noncommittal.

Ruxu pretended not to understand, "What's the matter? You gossip men and women, you can change careers and become paparazzi."

"Haha, is Xiao Xu shy? Young Master Tan, I really have you. When did it turn into an underground affair? You did a good job of keeping it secret, but it doesn't seem to fit your Young Master Tan's style!" A male lawyer laughed.

Ruxu couldn't help turning cold: "I don't like this kind of joke. If you still want to have fun tonight, you'd better stop it. I have a boyfriend who is developing. If you hurt my reputation, be careful and I will sue you!"

She has a boyfriend?Absolutely big news, explosive big news!However, everyone saw that she was so indifferent that she seemed to be really angry, so they didn't dare to ask more questions.

Tan Shaojie frowned, and slapped his unrestrained male colleague, "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. Let Lawyer Wang file a complaint, be careful that no one will defend you!"

"Haha, it's a joke, it's purely a joke! Xiaoxu, don't be angry!" Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the male colleague hurriedly apologized.

Others have smoothed things over. "That's right! It turns out that Xiaoxu has a date. You guys, don't bring her up with Tan Shao in the future, even as a joke."

There was no expression of joy or anger on Tan Shaojie's face, he straightened his straight suit smartly, "You are right, underground love is really not in line with my young master's style. If I have a formal relationship with a woman, I will definitely introduce her to everyone "He glanced at Ruxu calmly, if one day she could find out what he wanted and accept him, he would definitely tell the world impatiently - this woman is his!
