Back in Hangzhou, Xu Huaisong began to work at the law firm from 9 to 5, and devoted more energy to the Zhou Jun case.

Ruan Yu knew what this was for.

The old case ten years ago has been going through all his strength, and as a lawyer, it is difficult for him to do more for it.

But they all saw how much guilty Xu's mother felt for ten years, how Xu's father was carrying the infamous reputation, how angry the victim's family was, and how the acquitted suspect was in a down-and-out situation.

All three families were covered in bruises in that case.

Xu Huaisong was powerless to do anything about this, so he tried to find some hope in the similar Zhou Jun case.

If the Zhou Jun case can be revealed and if the tragedy can be stopped from happening again, he can prove it to his mother, maybe his father did nothing wrong back then.

He was busy with the case, and Ruan Yu was bored at home. If he didn't have to go to Huanshi, he would get up early and stick to him and go to the law firm to modify the script, saying that this would save the electricity bill at home.

Xu Huaisong did not expose her. He paid the electricity bill in the law firm, but it was his own money.

More than half a month passed, because Zhou Jun always insisted on defending his innocence during the interrogation and the facts and evidence was not sufficient, the procuratorate conducted additional investigations on the case.

Zhang Ling and Xu Huaisong, who were circulating day and night, finally had a breath of breath.

But Ruan Yu calculated his fingers and found that he was about to return to the United States.

Afraid that he "takes off suddenly" like last time again, Ruan Yu asked him in advance this time.

Xu Huaisong sat in front of the computer and worked hard. He took a sip of the milk she handed over and said, "You can leave a few days later than originally planned."

"Can the trial be postponed at will?"

Xu Huaisong shook his head: "It's not a trial. I was going back to sign a few important documents that were just generated two days ago. I cannot use electronic signatures or bear the risk of mailing."

"Then don't need to sign now?"

"I want to sign."

"Then why don't you go?"

Ruan Yu blinked and was a little confused. Xu Huaisong's words were always accurate and accurate, and there were rarely any cases where he could not say it was clean once or twice.

What's wrong with this?

He silently said, "Come here."

Ruan Yu walked over for no reason and was then wrapped in his arms.

After she sat firmly on his lap, Xu Huaisong explained: "Lu Shenglan happened to come to China to do business, and said that he could give me the documents to sign and then take them back to San Francisco."

It turns out that this is how I can stay with her for a few more days. No wonder I am vague.

Ruan Yu was stunned and nodded to tell him that he knew.

Xu Huaisong looked down at her: "Don't think too much, just a few documents, there is no need to meet me, I'll ask Xiao Chen to help me get it."

"Well..." Ruan Yu dragged his voice and paused, "I was either thinking about this, or I thought... she could help you, I just asked you to make a comeback and time for me."

"College-workers are sharing their work with each other. Besides, I'm not trying to do anything for you."

"Um?"

Xu Huai Song smiled and said, "I can't see you, I feel uncomfortable first."

Ruan Yu said nothing, but his eyes raised with a smile, hugged his neck, kissed his chin, and was about to leave.

Xu Huaisong lowered his head and took thirty times to fight her lips.

Three days later, Ruan Yu went to Huanshi to hold a script conference as usual.

Xu Huaisong sent her to the door and told her to keep communicating at any time as before, avoid being alone, and to keep it natural if she meets Wei Jin.

The police's secret touch was going deeper, and as an insider, Ruan Yu had to pretend to be unaware of it, so after getting off the car, he secretly previewed his expression and speech details in his heart.

But the reality is that she didn't need to consider the question of "who should I choose from Peking University and Tsinghua University". Because half a day passed, the seventh-floor conference room was quiet and Wei Mian, who was on the 19th floor, did not come down.

Just when she was feeling good about her luck, at lunch time, she saw the secretary of the producer Zheng Shan coming to deliver milk tea.

The same brand and taste as last time.

A thought flashed through her mind and she received a WeChat message that confirmed this idea.

Li Shican: Don’t be nervous, I’m on the 19th floor.

It turns out that good luck is fake.

It was Li Shican who found some reason to blow the air conditioner on the 19th floor, which made her avoid possible contact with Wei Jin.

She replied: Thank you, I'm sorry, I'll waste your day.

Li Shican: It's okay, I'm idle, the air conditioner here is easy to blow and it doesn't cost money.

She didn't go back again. She was about to press the lock screen key when she suddenly noticed a new friend application below.

When I clicked on it, I seemed to be a newly registered user, and my avatar was still the default. The verification content: Hello, I am Lu Shenglan.

Ruan Yu was stunned.

The day before yesterday, Lu Shenglan asked his assistant to send the information to the law firm. He was very up and down and did not meet Xu Huaisong. Now he should have gotten back the documents he signed. What does it mean to suddenly add her on WeChat?

She couldn't figure it out and accepted it.

Lu Shenglan quickly sent a message, straight to the point: Hello Miss Ruan, I'll take the liberty to bother you. I'm going back to the United States today. I want to invite you some tea before leaving, if it's convenient for you.

Ruan Yu does have lunch break.

But why did she suddenly invite her to have tea?

Her hand paused on the screen for a long time, and was about to exit the dialog box and ask Xu Huaisong what was going on. Then she saw her news: I have no other intentions, I just want to talk to you about Huaisong's situation in the United States. If possible, please keep it confidential to him for the time being.

What's going on in the United States?

Ruan Yu frowned and typed: I only have one hour in Huanshi.

Lu Shenglan: Then I'll drive over, can you reach the main entrance in ten minutes?

Nephrite: Yes.

Ruan Yu arrived at the door of Huanshi and got into Lu Shenglan's car.

She was still wearing neat professional attire. When she saw Ruan Yu, she took off her sunglasses and greeted her, and then she had nothing to say until she entered the private room in the opposite tea room.

The tea was on, and seeing that the person on the other side seemed to be still brewing, Ruan Yu asked tentatively: "How can Miss Lu know my WeChat account?"

Lu Shenglan lowered his head and smiled: "That's the time."

With four simple words, the atmosphere suddenly solidified.

Lu Shenglan then raised his eyes: "I'm sorry about what happened that day, but today I'm not here to apologize to you. What I want to say next will also give you new apology. But if I don't say these words, you may never know."

Ruan Yu frowned.

After coming out of the tea room and returning to Huanshi, Ruan Yu was in a state of distractedness all afternoon. He was named by the producer several times, but he didn't even hear the issues discussed clearly.

It was not until the meeting ended in the evening that Xu Huaisong said that he had arrived at the door that she cheered up and went downstairs.

In the lobby on the first floor, Li Shican was sitting on the sofa chair with his elbows and playing with his cell phone. He saw her coming out of the elevator and looked up at her.

Ruan Yu was slightly stunned, and then he understood.

He probably calculated the meeting time and came here to ensure that she returned home safely.

Although it seems a bit of a big deal.

Ruan Yu looked back at him gratefully, walked out of the hall, went to Xu Huaisong's passenger seat, and after he tied up his seat belt, he didn't see the car leaving.

Xu Huaisong turned his head, his eyes still falling in the direction of the hall.

Ruan Yushun looked at him, saw Li Shican look here, then took his cell phone and turned away.

She explained: "He is because..."

"I know." Xu Huaisong interrupted her.

Although it was a long distance away, he could understand Li Shican's intentions at a glance.

He said: "It's pretty good. With him, you're more at ease. Your safety is the most important thing."

Ruan Yu looked at his expression and saw that he should be feeling relieved, so he didn't say anything more and leaned against the back of the chair with his head tilted.

Xu Huaisong turned his head, looked at her depressed look and asked, "What's wrong?"

She opened her mouth and closed her mouth again, shook her head silently: "No, I'm just tired of meetings."

"Then don't go back to cook, eat outside tonight."

"Um."

The car started slowly and poured into the endless stream.

Ruan Yu turned his head out the window, watching the sky darken little by little, and the high street lights on the road lit up one after another, just like at noon, Lu Shenglan's plain sentence slowly illuminated Xu Huaisong's world that she had never seen before.

She said: "You probably don't know why Huai Song chose to study law. In fact, he didn't understand his father from the beginning. At that time, he also felt that Uncle Xu seemed to be a villain of "taking money, □□". So he initially chose to study in the United States because he wanted to be a lawyer different from him. Maybe looking back now, it's a bit naive and funny."

"It's not easy for yellow people to be there. Fortunately, I've been used to being with them since I was a child and have many friends in school. But he doesn't. He is single and only talks with grades when he is discriminated against and unfairly treated."

"Americans do take this trick. When his grades are repeatedly topped the list, they gradually became convinced and said that the Chinese boy was a genius. But they didn't know that the genius they called had been in the hospital twice because of overwork."

"He graduated with the best grade in the whole grade and was admitted to the most difficult bar in the United States. But later, you should have guessed it too. He held a rebellious mentality and rubbed and conflicted with his father all the way, but finally, after becoming a lawyer, he walked back to his father's trajectory step by step, smoothed these edges and understood his father's difficulty."

"The day Uncle Xu suddenly had a cerebral infarction and was diagnosed with cerebrovascular dementia, he sat in the hospital all night. After that, he began to take over his father's case and took on everything. He didn't say anything, but I can see that from that time on, he really put his heart into it. A lawyer is no longer a job, but a career."

"You may not imagine that a person like him actually had a tobacco addiction. He was infected shortly after Uncle Xu fell ill. The pressure in those two years was too great. There was no way. He could only rely on external objects to stimulate him. It was not until the third year that he returned to normal and quit smoking."

"What you see now is that after eight years of hard work, he is incredible. He has capital, so he can say that he will return to China, but this does not mean that his giving up is easy."

"No one knows these things. If I don't talk about them, he may never mention them. And than if you never know, I think it's better for me to talk too much. Anyway, we wouldn't have been friends."

"I'll say one thing that you hate. He may be willing to give up his eight years of hard work overnight, but this is really not a matter of course. If you still don't consider accommodating him to the United States, at least cherish his sacrifice."

Ruan Yu pursed his lips, looked at the traffic outside the window, and tightened his passport in his bag.
