Chapter 84
Wei Lai came to the court again the next day, and he seemed to have followed Xiao Dong's suggestion and brought a lawyer with him.

I am not in charge of the case, but I have met Wei Lai in the corridor.She looked surprised when she saw me, she didn't seem to know that I was working in the court, so she lowered her head in panic and avoided my sight.

I lightly pulled the corner of my mouth and walked into the office.

Of course, the progress of work was very slow afterwards, until Lingling came back, I raised my head.

Without my opening, Lingling took the initiative to come over and talk to me: "Lawyer Jia, let me tell you, the woman in the divorce case came today, and I received her. Her conversation, temperament, and personality are very good. She looks pretty, and I don't know what the man is thinking, how can she not want such a wife."

Lingling was originally on the woman's side, and she read too many romance novels on weekdays.I ignored her words and asked directly: "What did the woman ask for in our court?"

"It's not about fighting for the custody of the child. As a mother of a child, it is natural to not want to be separated from her son. And from the perspective of family affection and morality, a child cannot lack maternal love."

"So simple? Didn't you make any other demands?"

Lingling thought for a while, then shook her head and said: "No, the purpose of her coming here is very pure, that is, she wants the custody of the child, and she proposes that the man must pay the child's maintenance before he reaches adulthood."

I paused, and it turned out that this is the key.

After Wu Mi's party put forward harsh conditions, did she plan to settle for the next best thing and focus on alimony?
To put it bluntly, it is actually about money.

Today Xiao Dong was away from the court because he had something to do. I was a bit late when I got off work, and I was the last one when I left the court.As soon as he walked into the parking lot, he heard a soft voice behind him: "Jia Ru."

My heart tightened, and I turned around slowly.

Suddenly I felt that Xiao Dong had miscalculated. Since this case was handed over to our court for public trial, no matter how hard he tried to prevent it, it was impossible to prevent me from meeting certain people.

For example, Willie.

I didn't even bother to pull the corners of my mouth to smile at Wei Lai, and my eyes became cold in an instant.She was the same as when she was in the cemetery that day, still wearing a long white skirt and a beige wool coat.

"Can we talk?" she demanded of me.

What are you talking about?your marriage?It has nothing to do with me.

I directly refused: "There is nothing to talk about." Turning around, I was about to walk towards the parking lot, but when I heard her catch up, I said urgently, "Jia Ru, let's chat, it won't take you too long."

Raising his wrist and looking at his watch, he said expressionlessly, "5 minutes, just say it here."

Wei Lai: "Are you a lawyer from the court? Can you tell me that I have a good chance of getting custody of the child?"

"Our court will not give any indeterminate answer to the outside world. The issue of child custody itself is negotiated between your husband and wife. If the negotiation fails, it will be handed over to our court for judgment. We will consider various aspects such as economic conditions, living environment, and physical condition."

After hearing what I said, Wei Lai's face turned pale, and then he closed his lips tightly and said nothing.

I have no reason to watch her here in a daze, since I don't need the "5 minutes" time, then leave.When I started the car, the figure in my peripheral vision was still standing there motionless, but when I drove the car out, she suddenly ran to the front of the car.

With one foot on the brake, he was driven forward by the inertia.

Seeing me stop the car, Wei Lai ran around the front of the car to the car window, and when I frowned and rolled down the car window, she asked anxiously: "Jia Ru, can you ask Ayu to persuade Wu Mi? "

I stared up at her coldly through the car window, maybe I felt awkward, she avoided her eyes and whispered: "Wu Mi is determined to take the child away now, only Ayu can persuade him .I asked Ayu for help, but he..."

"Five minutes is up," I cut her off, "please move out of the way."

Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, but he refused to give up: "Can you listen to me before leaving? Apart from this, I actually want to talk to you about Teacher Jia. Jia Ru, let's find a quiet place sit down."

She didn't notice the coldness in my eyes deepened when she mentioned my father.

I turned my gaze to the front, and said in a cold tone: "Wei Lai, everyone in this world is qualified, but you are not qualified to call my dad Teacher Jia. You can just stand by the car and don't leave, try and I will Not stepping on the gas pedal."

Willie backed away.

I drove away from the courthouse with a feeling of depression.

When I got back to the apartment, it was already dark again. I felt quite tired these two days. The work pressure was not too great, mainly because I was tired.

I thought that at least there would be hot food waiting for me when I got home, but when I entered the door, it was dark and deserted, and it was obvious that Zhou Yu hadn't come back yet.After turning on the light, I took out my phone, but there were no missed calls or text messages.

After hesitating for a while, he dialed the number and was picked up after more than a dozen rings. When Zhou Yu’s voice came through, it was obvious that the surroundings were commotioning: "Hello? Jia Xiaoru? I’m going to be back late tonight. There’s something wrong with Mizi. Don’t worry. Wait for me."

It's for Wu Mi again!

I was angry at first, but when I heard the noise coming from the mobile phone and Zhou Yu's behavior of not saying hello, I suddenly became annoyed: "What's the matter with Wu Mi? Are you crazy about drinking and drinking? Are you The ones who accompany the wine or the ones who wipe people's butts?"

But I didn't get a reply from Zhou Yu when I questioned him. His mobile phone seemed to be snatched away, and then I heard Qian Xiaobao's loud voice: "Boss, we will stay with Mizi tonight. Where is the end of the world?" If there is no fragrant grass, how can we not find a woman."

I was so angry that I almost dropped my phone, what a mess!
After I hung up the phone, I wanted to be angry, so I sent a message to Zhou Yu: If you don't come back before ten o'clock, you don't have to come back.

But he turned around and looked at the high-tech door of his room, which couldn't even be locked.

I ate the instant noodles cooked last night, and I am not in the mood to cook tonight, so I still cook instant noodles.Halfway through the meal, I felt very boring. I was sitting alone in the empty house. I might understand that Zhou Yu was busy with business, but he was busy with that shit.

Poured out the rest of the noodles, came out of the shower and looked at the phone, there was still no message or call.

Instead of doing meaningless things, I sent another text message to Zhou Yu before going to bed: I will move back to my apartment tomorrow.

In the same middle of the night, someone came back quietly.I woke up the moment the door was pushed open, and he tiptoed to the bed, then walked away quietly to the bathroom.

When Zhou Yu came back, he was already warm. He lay down next to me quietly, and then quietly climbed his palm on my waist. After waiting for a while, he realized that I hadn't "woke up", so he slapped me up brazenly and tightly. hug.

It has become a habit for him to hug me when he sleeps. I pretended to be asleep and never opened my eyes.

Maybe it's because his embrace is always warm, and the powerful heartbeat is beating regularly, so I still fell asleep vaguely.

When I woke up, my surroundings were empty. I reached out to touch it, and it was cold. It was obvious that I had left for a while.

I checked my phone, but there was no reply.

There was a sarcasm at the corner of the mouth, don't you even care that I will move away?

I pinched the center of my eyebrows, I felt a bit of a headache.The breakdown of a marriage usually starts when a man returns home late. I have to think of a way to bring his soul back.

However, when I opened the door and walked out of the bedroom while thinking about the trick, I suddenly saw a figure passing by, blinking, thinking it was a hallucination, but saw the man go to the table and put down the plate, then turned around and ordered: "wash Have you washed it yet? If not, go quickly and come out to have breakfast after washing." I retreated to the bedroom without making a sound, my mood fluctuated, and unexpectedly he was still at home.

When I washed up and went out, Zhou Yu was already sitting at the table waiting.

Walking over silently, I found that the plate on the table was not the poached egg that I thought it was, but a steak that had been cut into small pieces, and there were some fruits and vegetables on the side.I couldn't help raising my eyebrows, what was going on in his head early in the morning, how could he cook steak for breakfast?
"Try it, I fried it to medium rare."

As soon as the beef came into my mouth, I tasted red wine. If he didn't pour red wine when frying, or soaked the steak in red wine.When red wine meets beef, it may be an adventure arranged by God, and the fit is amazing.

I have to say that his steak was fried well.

He asked casually, "Why did you think of frying steak in the morning?"

Zhou Yu said: "You don't understand this. You have to eat a good breakfast. A foreigner eats bread, shredded silk, and bacon in the morning to be strong. If you feel delicious, I will fry it for you every day. Or You like to eat shrimp, let's go back and buy some Argentine red shrimp, and I will give you steak and shrimp to eat, and occasionally poached egg whites."

I looked at him silently.

Even the calm look on his face couldn't hide it from my eyes.In the past, our morning pattern was that whoever got up early made breakfast, and if it was too late, they would buy it outside and settle it separately. It was not mandatory for both parties to sit down and eat.Now he is there planning my daily breakfast recipes in the future, either he is whimsically talking big, or he is panicking.

So the person who was supposed to go to work early in the morning is still sitting at the table talking to me about breakfast, can I understand that he saw the text message I sent him last night, and was afraid that I would really move things and leave in a fit of anger Woolen cloth?
Zhou Yu felt uncomfortable being watched by me: "Why don't you eat it? Steaks don't taste good when they're cold."

I lowered my head and forked the rest of the beef into my mouth. It was really delicious and I can't let it down. I'll talk about other things after eating.

When I finished eating the steak and started to eat the matching cherry tomatoes, I heard Zhou Yu ask from the side: "Are you going to work later? Is there any other use for the car today?"

I raised my head: "Do you want to use a car?"

"Well, if you don't need a car, I'll drive you to the court, and then I'll pick you up when you get off work."

As soon as I thought about it, I understood his intention, and I couldn't help laughing, with a slight sarcasm on my face, "Zhou Gongjin, you are treating the symptoms like this, not the root cause."

Obviously those eyes flickered for a moment, and then asked pretending not to understand: "What are you talking about?"

I looked at him and asked without answering, "Is there anything in the institute that you must solve today?"

He shook his head, "Recently, the office is full of miscellaneous things, but if you get the car, you may go to the countryside to visit the community and spread the knowledge of safety protection some years ago."

"You must be present at this event?"

"No, you can arrange the people below to do it."

I nodded: "Okay, you spare half a day, and I will also ask the unit for half a day off."

"What are you going to do?" Seeing his anxiety, I deliberately said, "Move."

He immediately changed his face when he heard it, and rushed to grab my hand on the table and said: "Jia Xiaoru, don't. I was the one who made a mistake last night. I didn't see the previous text message. When I saw the latter one, I was already on my way back. .”

"So you were actually waiting for me when you fried the steak early in the morning? Afraid that I would sneak away while you were at work, and even make excuses for the car to drive away?"

Zhou Yu's expression obviously thinks so, and also calculates so.

I laughed when I saw this: "Don't worry, you did it yourself when you moved here, and you have to come if you want to move it out. Besides, even if I don't have a car, I still have the popularity of calling a friend to help me. "

He frowned, "Looking for Xiao Dong?"

I went back coldly: "I am not the only friend of Xiao Dong."

He turned his eyes away awkwardly and took out his phone.

After listening to him explain what happened in the institute, I also called Lingling and asked her to take half a day off for me.It was deliberately not to call Xiao Dong in front of him, lest he hear it and be careful.

I was not in a hurry to collect the empty trays on the table, so I tapped twice on the table with my fingers before getting to the point: "Tell me, how long do you plan to manage their affairs? Divorce? The court trial results? Or follow-up entanglement? long time?"

Zhou Yu looked embarrassed: "It's not that I want to take care of this matter, but Mizi is my brother, and I can't ignore him."

"What about Willie?"

He froze for a moment, a little awkward: "She did come to me and wanted me to help her persuade Mizi to give her the custody of the child. But now Mizi's parents are very tough about the child. I just learned yesterday It was actually his parents who filed the lawsuit."

I raised my eyebrows, it turned out that there was this layer behind the incident.

But that has nothing to do with what I'm going to talk to him about, I just want to know when will it end?
I asked, "When did you become so indecisive?"

Before the campus bullying case and the car accident case, he was not domineering and bullying. I don’t know how many times he sent me with a hot temper.This time it's just Wu Mi's drinking madness, he can't handle it.

Zhou Yu refused to admit it: "I don't have it, anyway... Anyway, no matter who looks for me tonight, I won't go out."

I shook my head, "What I said just now is a temporary solution, not the root cause. If you don't go out tonight, what about tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? Then, what you are looking for today is not an excuse to get drunk, but something else, such as getting injured in a fight with someone , are you going or not?"

"This...you should go and have a look." Zhou Yu looked at me carefully.

But there was no joy or anger on my face at this time, and he had no way to argue, so he could only ask in a low voice: "Can I make a phone call to find out the situation?"

"Zhou Gongjin, you don't need to lower your posture so low."

A certain person immediately showed grievance upon hearing the words: "My daughter-in-law said she was going to move out, can I not lower my posture?"

Knowing that this person is a rascal, I can take advantage of all the conditions that are beneficial to him, and I will not be fooled by him. I continued: "Actually, it is a multiple-choice question. Brother, friend, wife, which one do you choose?" Rai defined as his friend.

Zhou Yu opened his eyes wide and took it for granted: "It goes without saying, of course it is to choose a wife. You are the one who will live with me for the rest of my life, and no matter how stupid I am, I will never want you for someone else's sake."

While his answer caught my heart, I thought it was just his instinctive response.I can only say that in his heart, I rank the three first, but what I want him to do now is to let go, it may hurt, but there will always be an end.

I pulled out the hand held by him, and leaned back into the chair, "Zhou Gongjin, Wei Lai has looked for me."

He knew that he would turn pale with shock when he told this fact. Sure enough, his originally calm expression suddenly changed, and he stared at me urgently and asked, "What is she looking for you for? Are you...arguing?"

Laughing, "Am I the temper that will quarrel with others at any time?"

"But the other day you saw her..."

"That day was because," I paused for a second, "Dad's residence is not allowed to be disturbed by her."

It's about Dad that I lose my mind.On weekdays, I am still a very rational person. Of course, when faced with this scoundrel in front of me, my sanity sometimes disappears.

Zhou Yu asked: "When did she find you? Where did she find you?" It seemed that something was wrong, and she said to herself in confusion: "No, she doesn't have your phone number, and she doesn't know my address. Where else can I find you?"

"Court." I threw out two words lightly.

He looked up in panic, "Did she go to court? When?"

"Yesterday. Since Wu Mi's party will go to the court to file a lawsuit, she will naturally find a lawyer to come to the court as a party. She saw me and waited for me to get off work in the parking lot of the court."

"No wonder you were so angry with me last night." He turned his mind quickly, and immediately got to the point.

I don't deny that the appearance of Wei Lai itself has caused fluctuations in my mood.

Zhou Yu asked again: "Did she say anything to you?"

"Let me send you a message to help her persuade Wu Mi to give her the custody of the child."

"I told her that I have nothing to do with it and I don't have time to do it. Why did I come to you?" What he blurted out made my heart skip a beat. He wasn't actually helping Wei Lai?
Seeing that I was silent, Zhou Yu asked again: "Did she tell you anything else?"

I snorted softly, "Forgive me for not having so much time to deal with her."

Zhou Yu noticed the change in my attitude, got up from the chair, squatted down in front of me, and said, "Jia Xiaoru, she has been looking for a chance to explain to you what happened back then, if you don't want to listen to her, So listen to me, okay?"

Before I could speak, he had already forcibly grabbed my hand and continued: "I know that the person you care about most in your heart is her. After the car accident four years ago, she became the thorn in your heart." , I can’t pull it out because it’s too deep. But if we don’t try once, who knows if it will heal?”

At this time, Zhou Yu's eyes were sincere and his tone was sincere. He didn't talk about other people's divorce anymore. He wanted to remove the thorn in my heart.

For a moment I was shaken, and there was a voice in my heart saying: so what if I listen?Right and wrong are always definite.

Just when I was about to grit my teeth and nod, there was a sudden movement on the door, and we both subconsciously turned around at the same time, and saw Zhou Liang walking in with a bag on his back.

He didn't seem to expect that we would be at home, and after a pause, he yelled angrily: "What kind of rhythm is this? Marriage proposal? Kneel down and beg for mercy? Third child, if so, you are too worthless."

I felt a sense of powerlessness, for Zhou Liang's sudden appearance, and for the decision I had just picked up to be interrupted.
