Chapter 77
In the next two days, Ye Chuxiao took Mi Lier to play in the playground, aquarium, and zoo, and took many photos. .Sending her back to school on Sunday, Ye Chuxiao sat alone in front of the computer at night, flipping through the photos, her eyes got wet just looking at them, and her fingertips couldn't help stroking Mi Lier's face on the screen.

Baby, how long can you stay with your mother?
When the wind blew the window, she regained consciousness and quickly wiped away her tears, not allowing herself to be weak.

After drawing the design drawings in the middle of the night, she went to sleep. The next morning, when she entered the hall, she happened to meet the boss. When she saw her, she expressed concern: "You don't look well. You should stay up late and pay attention to rest."

Ye Chuxiao nodded with a smile, and at this moment, her cell phone rang, she said sorry, and picked it up to answer it.It was this action that made the boss notice that the ring on her hand was gone, and his eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't say anything, and went back to his office first.

The call came from the engineering team, saying that there was something wrong with the decoration, so Ye Chuxiao just put something on the seat and hurried over.After a busy morning, he invited the owner to have a meal at noon. When he came out, it was almost two o'clock. Seeing that the location happened to be near Yunshui Pavilion, he remembered what he said when he met Lu Zhengnan on Friday. After hesitating for a moment, he finally dialed his number Number.

"Mr. Lu, are you free now?" Her tone was still polite and distant.

At this moment, Lu Zhengnan was standing outside the meeting room, where the heads of various departments were waiting for him to have a meeting, but he still replied: "You are free, tell me."

"It's about the inspection and acceptance of the decoration of Yunshui Pavilion mentioned last time." Ye Chuxiao replied: "If you are free, please come over and see if there are any problems, so that we can correct them in time."

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Lu Zhengnan hung up the phone, opened the door and went in, only said "You guys discuss first, I'll look at it later", and left in a hurry.

When they came to Yunshui Pavilion, when Lu Zhengnan parked his car at the door, he didn't dare to go in for a while.

He obviously wanted to see her so much that his heart ached, but he was afraid that seeing her would make his heart ache even more.

He finally walked in, and saw her sitting on the sofa by the French window from a distance, with her head half lowered, her long hair hanging from her shoulders, reflecting the quiet sunlight, it was picturesque.

At that moment, he lost his mind in a trance. This was exactly the scene he had been looking forward to, his home, his lover, waiting for him to come back.

"Hey, Boss Lu arrived before me." However, the voice from behind suddenly broke the illusion.

Lu Zhengnan came back to his senses, and Ye Chuxiao, who had been reading the materials, didn't realize that someone had arrived until then, stood up and smiled slightly: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Wang, are you here?"

"Originally, I called Xiaoye to talk about other things. I heard her mention that you are going to check and accept, so I will come over to have a look. You are our big customer." Aiwei's boss laughed, but his eyes were quietly on The other two are spinning around...

Seeing that Ye Chuxiao's ring was gone this morning, he already felt a little strange. Later, he heard that Lu Zhengnan hadn't come to pick her up for a while, and there seemed to be something wrong with the two of them at the door when they got off work last Friday. Therefore, he was even more suspicious.

Since I have Lu Zhengnan as the backer, Ivy's business is very easy to do, so this God of Wealth can't just throw it away. He purposely took this opportunity to come here just to find out. If there is a problem, he can help him quickly. Make a round.

Ye Chuxiao didn't mind him coming, on the contrary, she was glad that she had more people, not to mention that she didn't have to contact Lu Zhengnan alone, and Lu Zhengnan was the person on the scene, even if he was unhappy, his expression remained the same.

Along the way, Mr. Wang praised Ye Chuxiao for being capable and careful, while Lu Zhengnan just nodded with a smile, while Ye Chuxiao just followed his duty and introduced without saying much. The two of them had almost zero communication throughout the process.

Mr. Wang saw it in his eyes, and was even more anxious in his heart. After reading it, he invited Lu Zhengnan to go to a nearby tea house for a sit-down.But at this moment, someone from his company called and asked him when he could go back to the meeting.

Lu Zhengnan, who didn't want to have the three of them together in such an embarrassing way, simply said his goodbyes. Before leaving, he couldn't help but look at Ye Chuxiao, but she turned her eyes away and didn't look at him.

"See you some other day." His face darkened, he nodded, and left first.

After he left, Mr. Wang finally couldn't help it, and sighed: "Xiaoye, didn't you quarrel with Mr. Lu?"

Ye Chuxiao clasped the folder tightly with her fingertips, pondered for a moment, but said softly, "We broke up."

Mr. Wang's face suddenly changed: "Hey, you..." Then he felt that he had lost his composure, and his tone eased: "Don't be like this, young girls are impulsive and have a little conflict. It doesn't matter if you quarrel, don't take it lightly. Separate, you see Mr. Lu's conditions are so good, it's too late for others to envy you..."

"His qualifications are too good, so I can't afford to climb high." Ye Chuxiao smiled faintly: "Mr. Wang, are you going back to the company now? I may have to meet a client."

Mr. Wang cut off the conversation resentfully, glared at her, got into the car and ignored her.

Ye Chuxiao watched his car disappear at the bend, walked slowly to the edge of the garden and sat down, looking at the path of fallen leaves that he walked on last time.

On that day, she felt that she would be old forever. It turned out that the relationship has never been able to withstand the fleeting time. As the two of them walked, they missed it and lost the warmth in their palms.

In the future, she should walk alone, as if he had never appeared by her side.

From that day on, the boss's attitude towards Ye Chuxiao was not as good as before. In the past, whenever the sales department had an order, Ye Chuxiao would be given priority, but now it is given to others.There were also gossips in the company, saying that Ye Chuxiao had been sidelined.

These words reached Shen Ya's ears, and she asked Ye Chuxiao what was going on during the meal.

"I told him that I broke up with Lu Zhengnan." Ye Chuxiao replied calmly, but Shen Ya almost jumped up in anxiety: "Why did you tell him this, it's not that you don't know, he's just a snobby .”

Ye Chuxiao remained calm as usual: "People always rely on their own ability to make a living, so can they rely on others for a lifetime?"

Shen Ya was speechless.

Back upstairs after dinner, when she passed the lobby, she was stopped by the front desk: "Designer Ye, I have your letter." When she said this, she had a weird expression on her face.

When Ye Chuxiao received it and saw that it was a special envelope for the court, she immediately understood, looked at her and smiled, "Thank you."

Shen Ya was already panicking at this moment, she entered the door and pulled Ye Chuxiao to the corner, and asked nervously, "Is it Qi Zhen..."

"Yes." Ye Chuxiao nodded, patted the envelope in the palm of his hand, his eyes darkened: "Finally sued."

"Hit it." Shen Ya thought of Qi Zhen and Lu Zhengnan, and immediately gritted her teeth angrily: "My cousin has a classmate who is a lawyer. I'll ask her to help you. We don't rely on others."

Ye Chuxiao shook her hand and smiled warmly: "Thank you, Yaya, what is said on the Internet is indeed true, girlfriends are far more reliable than men."

"You are still joking at this time." Shen Ya pinched her angrily, but her heart was sore.

"I'm fine. Now, I have nothing to be afraid of." Ye Chuxiao comforted her softly: "I won't give up easily."

Shen Ya nodded with a sigh.she believes.Ye Chuxiao may be stupid or stubborn, but there is always a spirit in his body, which cannot be defeated or bent.

Not long after they returned to their seats, a phone call called Ye Chuxiao to the boss's office.

"I heard that you received an official letter from the court today?" Mr. Wang looked gloomy.

"Yes." Ye Chuxiao admitted, paused, and then explained: "It's a private matter of my family and has nothing to do with the company. Don't worry."

Only then did Mr. Wang ease his tone by two points: "It's best not to have any adverse effects on the company. You know, word of mouth is very important in our business."

"I understand." Ye Chuxiao agreed to leave his office, and when he arrived at the door, he stopped him again: "Hey, Xiaoye, there is really no way to undo the matter between you and Mr. Lu?"

Ye Chuxiao's hand on the doorknob stopped, and after a moment, she turned her head and smiled faintly: "No."

His face completely collapsed, Ye Chuxiao left without saying a word.

Mr. Wang threw away the signature pen in his hand, and cursed bitterly: "I don't know how to flatter you."

At first it was because of Lu Zhengnan that he fired Tang Qianqian, but now, Lu Zhengnan also withdrew, leaving him empty-handed.

This Ye Chuxiao, causing him to lose two Gods of Wealth in vain, is really abhorrent!

Since then, Ye Chuxiao's treatment in the design department has taken a turn for the worse. There are almost no orders assigned to her, and it is all up to her to go out and attract customers.

But Mr. Wang is right in saying that word of mouth is really important in their business.Ye Chuxiao is willing to spend more time in doing things than others, and she is down-to-earth and sincere, so all the customers who have worked with her have a good impression of her, and they often recommend her to people they know. It has not fallen to the point where there is no bill to sign.

Today's old couple was led by Ms. Chen who misunderstood her because of Shiman's matter last time. Business.

The old couple lived frugally for their children to go to school for the rest of their lives. Fortunately, their children were also filial. They chipped in to buy a big house for their parents, and asked them to decorate it according to their own wishes. However, the old man was still reluctant to spend more money on the children, so he asked again and again. How can it be cheaper.As a mother herself, Ye Chuxiao understood their feelings very well, and took the trouble to help them analyze and compare the cost of each place, striving for the most affordable decoration plan.

"Xiao Chen is right, you are a real girl." Before leaving, the old lady held her hand and thanked her repeatedly.

"It should, Auntie." Ye Chuxiao sent them to the car with a smile, and she was about to go back to the company. At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind her: "What a coincidence, Ms. Ye, I met you here."

Ye Chuxiao was startled, turned around, and saw Chen Ze with a smile on his face. He probably just came out of the teahouse after talking with someone, and he still had the car key in his hand: "Where are you going, I'll give you a ride." .”

"No, thank you." She looked indifferent.

Chen Ze came over, stood still in front of her, and said in a narrow tone, "Actually, I was sitting in the booth next to you just now. I think you are very gentle when you talk to others. Why do you just talk to me like that?" Be alert? Although I was entrusted by President Qi to file a lawsuit with you, it is just work. In private, I have no malice towards you, even..." He paused, raised his eyebrows: "I'm still very interested."

His speaking style is as straightforward as Lu Zhengnan's, but Ye Chuxiao is not sensitive to this kind of people.

"See you in court, Lawyer Chen." Ye Chuxiao took half a step back and opened the distance between them: "From our standpoint, it's not appropriate to do it in private."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and stopped the taxi. He watched her get into the taxi, but at the moment the door was about to close, he smiled and handed over a business card: "Many friends have many ways, and we will keep in touch in the future. "

Ye Chuxiao glanced at him, then asked the master to drive.

Two meters away from the car, a white butterfly-like piece of paper flew out of the window and was brought to his feet by the wind. It was the business card just now.

"Hey, it's not environmentally friendly." He shrugged and smiled, turning his fingertips slightly, and the key drew a silver arc in the sun: "However, it's quite tasty."

In the busy day after day, time passed quickly, and it was the day of the court in a blink of an eye.

Shen Ya asked for leave to accompany Ye Chuxiao to the court. Lawyer Sun who accompanied her was a friend of Shen Ya's sister. Still young, and having lived with her mother since birth, the courts will lean in her favor.

But in Ye Chuxiao's heart, he was still nervous, afraid that if he lost the lawsuit, he would lose the rice grains.

Seeing that it was still a while before it started, she went to the bathroom, slapped her face with cold water over and over again, forced herself to calm down, and then opened the door to come out, but at the corner, she met Qi Zhen and Chen who had just entered the hall but.

Qi Zhen was silent, but Chen Ze greeted with a smile: "Ms. Ye, you arrived early."

Ye Chuxiao didn't say a word, and passed them by, aligning with Zhenzhen without even taking another look.

The moment she passed by his side, his eyebrows moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't.

Standing beside him, Chen Ze glanced at his expression out of the corner of his eye, with a half-smile.

At this time, Shen Ya also saw Qi Zhen from a distance, and came over angrily, wanting to settle accounts with him.Ye Chuxiao stepped forward quickly and stopped her: "It's not necessary."

These three words fell into Qi Zhen's ears, and with a stab in his heart, he whispered to Chen Ze: "Go in."

Shen Ya cursed bitterly at his back: "Be ruthless, you will be punished sooner or later."

Qi Zhen seemed to have never heard of it, but there was a faint wry smile on his lips...

The court trial officially started, everyone took their seats, Ye Chuxiao and Qi Zhen were standing far away from each other.

At that moment, Ye Chuxiao only felt irony and sadness.

In the past, this was also the person she loved deeply, and she offered her heart devoutly with both hands, only wishing to be cherished by him, loved by him, and to stay together forever.

However, at this moment, the past fleeting years are like water, and the good times are like dreams. They are all annihilated in this short distance of a few meters. a familiar stranger.

At the beginning of the defense, Chen Ze in the court was completely different from the one in the court, and his momentum was aggressive.The photos of the dilapidated Tongzi building that Ye Chuxiao was renting now, and the experience of doing odd jobs, were all collected by him as evidence that she did not have the conditions to support her.He even mentioned that when Ye Chuxiao was still working in the supermarket during her pregnancy, she was knocked into giving birth prematurely, which caused her child's hearing impairment.

At that moment, Ye Chuxiao's face was pale, his lips trembled slightly, and he cast hateful eyes at Qi Zhen.

Qi Zhen's eyes were slightly astonished, and he looked at Chen Ze, but he didn't seem to realize it, and he still didn't back down, and his words were sharp.

In addition, they had already worked in private before, and the situation in court was clearly one-sided. Lawyer Sun was outnumbered and retreated steadily.

Seeing this situation, Ye Chuxiao was flustered at first, but in the end, all that was left was coldness.

"Excuse me, can I say a few words?" She interrupted Chen Ze suddenly, and Lawyer Sun immediately applied to the judge.

After getting permission, Ye Chuxiao said slowly: "Yes, what happened to Mi Li'er was my fault, but at the beginning, I had no other choice. I was pregnant, but the child's father married another woman. I also once I thought about not wanting this child, but I can't bear it." She held back her tears and forced a smile: "So I finally kept her, but I had no education or work experience at the time, where could I work? , who wants me? I can only do odd jobs everywhere, so that after the child is born, at least I can feed her, and our mother and daughter will not starve to death..."

Having said that, she couldn't control her sobs, and some people present had red eyes.

"Yes, my conditions cannot be compared with Qi Zhen." She looked at the jury: "But every mother who has ever been a mother knows that for the sake of children, let alone washing dishes and setting up a street stall, even if it is desperate, We all want the best for our children. In the past, now, and in the future, I have never given up trying for a moment...never...please believe me...and please...don't separate us, mother and daughter, who are we I can't live without anyone... I really can't live..."

In the end, she was sobbing, and the room was silent. Even the female clerk on the stage couldn't help but turn her face away to wipe away her tears.

Chen Ze's fingertips twisted the corners of the documents on the table into a ball, and then slowly spread them out. He wanted to speak a few times, but he stopped talking, and only took a deep look at Qi Zhen.

At this moment, Qi Zhen lowered his eyelids and didn't look at anyone.

In the corner of the door, there was another person standing. He was looking at Ye Chuxiao who was crying bitterly on the dock. His hand hanging by his side was trembling slightly, and finally clenched into a fist...
