The Way To Escape the Scum - Chapter 29

    Liu Wenbin was taken to a special hospital by police uncles, and Liu’s mother was given a silver bracelet for obstructing official business. The breath of the scum was completely gone, Ling Xiao felt refreshed, no dizziness, no stomach pain, and walked back to the ward with a relaxed pace.

    Ling Xiao hurried over to pick it up. The white and tender baby in her arms was sleeping soundly, she took advantage of the opportunity to poke her little cheek, and then she couldn’t help poking again and again.

    “It looks like a steamed bun.”

    “…you tap.”

    Chen Cheng saw that Ling Xiao was having fun here and was full of energy.

    How long has it been since they sat together so calmly?

    After a long time, Chen Cheng suddenly broke the silence and warmth:

    “What are you going to do next?”

    She didn’t say it very clearly, but Ling Xiao understood the meaning of this sentence at once—

    “After you divorce, where are you going to live with your children, and why should you live?”

    Yes, it is very difficult for a woman with children and no social experience to survive alone in this society. This is not a false worry, but a real, unavoidable reality.

    Ling Xiao took a meal, turned and stared at the friend in front of him.

    Chen Cheng wears a decent suit at all times. He has a cool temperament but makes people feel safe. He became a partner of a well-known law firm at a young age. She is not condescending at the moment, but points out the problem earnestly and helps her friend think about the way out for an independent life in the future.

    Maybe the other party doesn’t know that, in Lu Yuanyuan’s heart, she has always been dreaming and wishing she could live like that.

    She envied and followed, but never reached the other side she longed for.

    Ling Xiao smiled and pulled her cuff.

    “Lawyer Chen, I can’t decide this issue, and I also need your opinion.”

    “Me?”

    “That’s right—” Ling Xiao lengthened his voice deliberately, and spoke seriously.

    “Hello lawyer Chen, my name is Lu Yuanyuan, I am 25 years old and graduated from the law department of X University. I am currently unemployed.

    “I have passed the judicial examination, I can drive a car, I can cook, and I have recently mastered the new skills of ‘tear with scumbags’. Generally speaking, it is very easy to use. As for the treatment, it is not High, enough to rent a house and add milk powder.”

    “I heard that your income has reached 2 million a year now, should you consider finding an intern and assistant?”

    Ling Xiao nodded himself and walked out the back door openly.

    “Especially my character, Mr. Chen must be at ease, why should I be the first candidate?”

    Even if Chen Cheng was stern, his eyes widened in shock by this series of self-promotion.

    “You, why did you suddenly have this idea?”

    She thought that her friend would plan to find a relaxed clerical position first, and then live in her parents’ home or herself to make the transition… But she never expected that she would enter **** mode when she came up!

    Moving out alone with kids and wanting to move from a hard and busy career – is it possible?

    But Chen Cheng didn’t categorically deny it, but tried to tell from his friend’s face whether it was just a joke.

    This is not a whim, but a never-ending decision.

    Chen Cheng reconfirmed: “Do you want to be a lawyer?”

    “Well, that was my college dream, you know.”

    Although after years of pain and repression, the dreams of the past have been scattered, and the people who once dreamed of it have also drifted away – but since you can set sail again, why not do what you really want to do things?

    How hard is it!

    For a few minutes, both were relatively speechless. Chen Cheng stood by the window, paced gently, lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a long time before sitting down again.

    She restrained her softness and instantly became a young and promising lawyer Chen, and the ward suddenly became an interview site.

    “In this case, I received the resume, and I will treat you as an ordinary applicant at this moment. Now, I need to clarify the answers to a few questions.” Her voice became very oppressive , the battle-hardened momentum unfolded.

    “First, how to solve the child’s problem?”

    This is also the most realistic problem at present, but Ling Xiao has long considered it.

    “As far as the current situation is concerned, Nan Nan’s custody will definitely belong to me. I don’t have a sustainable independent economic status yet, I have to work, and she is too old Small and inseparable from people, so it’s really a difficult balance.”

     But Ling Xiao didn’t want to give up on his own initiative.

    Lu Yuanyuan has been suffering for so long, why should she be compelled to change a living method?

    “However, she is an important family member to me, and is definitely not an item that can be thrown away at will. I have both work and children. Although it is difficult, it is definitely not impossible. things to come.”

    “In the daytime, I will work with Nan Nan temporarily until I can find a competent nanny to take care of. Of course, I will take care of myself after get off work, after all, the contact with the mother is a baby It is an indispensable life for the healthy growth of young children. When she grows up, I promise that I have enough free time and money, and I don’t need to make too many choices.”

     But this can be very hard and requires a lot of energy and willpower.

    Chen Cheng was not worried, and continued to ask questions.

    “Second, why choose me? How can you convince me that you really want to go down this road?”

    Ling Xiao was happy when she heard it.

    The tough-mouthed and soft-hearted interviewer still cares too much about this friend, and is even a little unsure whether this change is genuine, for fear of repeating the mistakes of two years ago.

    “I asked you if you were short of interns, the first point… I must be trying to take a shortcut!”

    “To be honest, it doesn’t prove anything without taking reasonable and legal shortcuts.”

    “I also made the final decision after considering the conditions of each law firm and my own abilities. Even if it wasn’t you, I plan to send my resume to others.”

    Chen Cheng couldn’t help frowning slightly, but he heard Ling Xiao’s sudden change of words.

    “I want to work with you because you deserve it.”

    It is worth learning, admiring and trusting.

    For those who are in the dark, if there is a faint light guiding the direction, then even if they stumble, they will feel much more at ease, until the day when they can be completely independent.

    This is the real thought in Lu Yuanyuan’s heart.

    She didn’t say it, but Chen Cheng probably knew the sincere appreciation behind him, his face turned slightly red, and he could hardly hold back his cold expression.

    Lu Yuanyuan’s grades have always been very good, and she also passed the judicial examination with excellent grades. Although they have been buried in twisted families all these years, the basic knowledge should not be completely abandoned. Moreover, the person in front of him was able to use legal knowledge and learn to use it to escape from the police station, which is enough to show his strength.

    If you want to be a lawyer, you will probably spend about a year of internship before you can practice formally. Chen Cheng is confident that she has the ability to give Lu Yuanyuan professional guidance, but there is one more and the most important point, which she does not dare to finalize.

    After friends go through life and death, can they get rid of those irrelevant people, really think about it clearly, and love themselves more?

    How will those remaining shadows affect her next life?

    Chen Cheng spoke slowly.

    “The last question involves some practical work. You can say whatever you want, and treat it as a case you are about to deal with.”

    “I currently have a client here who is a successful male who can afford high legal fees. Wife, who is a stay-at-home wife, is suing him for divorce—”

    She stared at each other’s expression without moving.

    “The client often cheats and domestic violence, but the wife’s family always clings to him, so she has been patient. Until some time ago, the wife suddenly sued for divorce, and asked for child custody and parental rights. Part of the property division. He was very angry and wanted to entrust me to respond.”

    “What would you do if you were the client’s attorney?”

    The words of adults are cruel and vague, but everyone can understand the meaning.

    What Chen Cheng wants is just an attitude.

    Ling Xiao analyzed without hesitation.

    “There are many ways to deal with it, for example, confirming whether the wife has unfavorable evidence on his side, explaining it in advance, and for example, refusing to admit that the relationship between the two has broken down… In short, although I I don’t agree with this kind of person morally, but lawyers must do their best to maintain the legitimate interests that the client requests, which is also the norm of professional ethics.”

    She said it very well, maybe many people will like this cold and rational answer, and it is enough to prove their ability.

    But this is by no means the answer Chen Cheng wanted.

    She frowned and was silent for a long time. However, seeing Ling Xiao carefully put the child down, got up with a smile, suddenly approached, leaned over and whispered in his ear.

    “The above is the standard answer I would tell others.”

    “But that’s not what you want to hear, right? There are many things that are more important than money, right? For example, as a person’s independent dignity, and for example, stick to the bottom line of self…”

    “Since I want to live freely and follow my heart, then it’s not good to refuse this kind of commission, and I know that you will definitely refuse.”

    Ling Xiao got up and asked with a smile:

    “What, am I eligible to be your intern?”

    Long time.

    Chen Cheng finally showed a sincere smile.

    She stood up and nodded lightly.

    “Nice to meet you and welcome to work with me in the future.”

    As for who this “you” refers to…

    It’s her and Lu Yuanyuan.

    There are some guesses that don’t need to be said.
