The Way To Escape the Scum - Chapter 34
Lin Chuqing didn’t realize what was going on for a while. It took a long time to finally straighten out the messy relationship between these people.
“Uh, so, the scumbag prospective ex-husband you said lost something and was about to go to jail to pick up soap with Big Brother Flower Arm…is Liu Wenbin?”
She looked at Ling Xiao in disbelief. Chen Cheng also kept nodding his head, indicating that all this was true.
So they pursed their lips a few times and fell silent together.
The system sneered: “Little ancestor, don’t think that every woman likes to speak with fists as much as you do. It scares people.”
However, Lin Chuqing’s expression was not so much fear, but rather subtle entanglement.
After a while, she trembled all over, as if she could no longer maintain a good etiquette posture, quickly lay down on the table and buried her face in her arms.
System: “Hey, hurry up and comfort others. She must be terrified of such a **** thing—”
“Oh, you’re right.”
Ling Xiao thought about it, sorted out the words, then leaned over and patted Lin Chuqing on the shoulder, and said with a heavy heart:
“Ms. Lin, please get up. I understand your feelings very much. I’m sorry about our mutual ex-husband. My condolences.”
“However, it’s very hurtful for us to hold back without laughing, and it’s very difficult for us to do it.”
System:…? ?
“Hahahaha!!”
Lin Chuqing raised her head, her eyes sparkling, where is there a trace of fear left?
The deepest nightmare that was once could be shattered so easily.
In the end, they are nothing but vulnerable scum!
After a long time, Lin Chuqing said “I’m sorry”, and couldn’t help but let Ling Xiao repeat the situation at that time, and kept asking where others were now.
After listening to it over and over again, she returned to her gentle and polite manner, and Binbin stretched out her hand.
The hurt caused by her two husbands can no longer frighten her.
“I would be happy to appear with you at that time, as a witness, to unmask his hypocrisy with my own hands.”
“Also, my divorce proceedings, please also ask the two of you.”
A new beginning is waiting ahead, and she also took that small step and strode forward since then.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and the hot heat came from the overlapping palms.
The future may be faced with wind and rain, or resistance and hardships from all parties.
But so what?
None! Place! fear! fear!
After Lin Chuqing’s mood changed completely, she immediately moved out of the big villa when she returned. Since I haven’t figured out a plan for my future life, I’ll just take a trip around the world first. As for the divorce proceedings, she called from time to time to inquire about the progress of Ling Xiao and Chen Cheng, and she could just rush back to the court when the time came.
The unpretentious and boring life forms a sharp contrast with Ling Xiao’s bitter life of moving bricks.
However, in the following days, the law firm was not very calm.
Zhuma Ba always came back from a business trip and found that his wife had run away. Like a thunderbolt from the blue, the whole person was not well at that time.
So he instantly switched to a distorted personality, regardless of his identity, he ordered a few tall bodyguards and rushed to the law firm for a while to beat/smash and add personal threats.
Ling Xiao: ? ?
Why, the boss can trample the socialist laws openly?
While exchanging glances and thinking about how to deal with the troublemaker, Lin Chuqing’s phone also called.
It turns out that Mr. Ba not only ran here to run wild, but also ordered another group of people to go to his mother-in-law’s house to intimidate and intimidate, and if he dared to divorce, everyone would be buried together.
Who wants to be buried with such a scum?
The two places were harassed at the same time, and now Lin Chuqing’s little childhood affection has completely disappeared, and she replied decisively:
“Isn’t this a criminal?”
“Do what you want, lawyer Chen, beat him!”
So in the riot, Chen Cheng was slightly injured and accidentally kicked a certain part of the boss with high heels.
Chen Cheng: “Ah, sorry, just self-defense.”
Ling Xiao watched this familiar scene, the corner of his mouth twitched, and then he called the criminal investigation captain familiarly.
“Hey, hey, hey? Someone here intentionally damages property, intentionally hurts, and acts of intimidation. By the way, is this considered a black meeting? I’m so scared!”
“Oh, call another ambulance, that hospital was fine last time, understand?”
Captain Criminal Investigation: …You are really good at law.
After that.
The feedback received from the criminal investigation team leader showed that Mr. Ba was transferred to a certain ward and accidentally became a patient with Liu Zhanan.
It seems that the two of them get along quite well, and they feel a little sympathetic to each other.
Later, they were detained in the detention center and became classmates in bunk beds, weeping together behind bars, waiting for the final sanction of the law.
…
So, this world is really full of all kinds of wonderful fate.
————
The life of a trainee lawyer is extremely busy, especially working with a partner of a top law firm like Chen Cheng. It is common to have irregular meals, not to mention working overtime.
Although Chen Cheng takes care of Nan Nan from time to time, and the nanny he hires is also very dedicated, in fact, it is extremely difficult to balance work and life.
However, Ling Xiao actually enjoyed it. In other words, Lu Yuanyuan was also very happy.
Ling Xiao will stay up all night with Chen Cheng to read the files, analyze the case, and then go back to accompany the children for a while.
They will also go to various trade unions and women and children protection organizations from time to time to give public consultation lectures, hoping that more people will come forward and speak out.
They have seen all kinds of parents, and they have also seen the real bitterness of all kinds of people.
There are old mothers whose son was in a car accident and daughter-in-law ran away with money, and there are left-behind girls who are bullied by the same villagers and have nowhere to go. There are 70-year-old granny with gray hair who wants to divorce her abusive husband, and young wife whose husband cheats after just one month of marriage.
Unfortunate families, each has its own misfortune.
Ling Xiao never complains or feels tired, and her business level has skyrocketed, and she will soon be able to be on her own. A year later, when it was time for the interns to be converted into practicing lawyers, several other partners secretly came over to dig a foothold.
“Have the courage and ability, how can you do it with me? It’s all a top big case.”
“I wanted a male assistant, but you’re really good and changed my mind.”
Ling Xiao declined one by one.
When Chen Cheng asked, she just smiled: “It doesn’t matter how big or small the matter is, the cases we handle are the important lives of others.”
Darkness is more likely to grow in the corners. And those women who have never been seen need to accumulate every tiny effort until they can be seen and heard, and get the freedom and dignity they deserve.
“Fortunately, we share the same persistence.”
On the day she went to pick up the lawyer’s license, Ling Xiao put on a gray suit, the same suit she wore on the first day of work, it looked like a valiant shirt. Nan Nan clapped his hands beside him, and kept shouting “Mama is so handsome”.
I don’t know if it was arranged by God or not. This day also happens to be the day when Liu Wenbin accepts the final trial.
Accompanied by Chen Cheng, Ling Xiao went to the association to receive a heavy license. They counted the time and arrived at the court on time—they have come here countless times this year, but the mood at this moment is naturally different from before.
In the past, it was for others, but this time, it was for myself, to completely break with Lu Yuanyuan’s past.
The court is solemn and solemn, everyone is in a hurry, the public prosecutors, the parties, the criminals, the lawyers… all seek fairness and justice from different positions.
The two found the court seat and saw Liu’s mother sitting on the chair. She is much older, and she is no longer the rich lady who thinks highly of herself. Because the matter of his son was ridiculed by everyone, he also squatted orange for a while, and had no face to go out at all.
Seeing her ex-daughter-in-law striding forward with great energy, she immediately wanted to get up and cry, but under the gaze of the bailiff, she bowed her head and dared not speak.
Irrelevant people. Ling Xiao didn’t even bother to give her a look.
At two o’clock in the afternoon, the court session will start on time.
The heavy door was pushed open, Liu Wenbin was heavily handcuffed and shackled, dressed in orange prison uniform, and was escorted by heavily armed bailiffs to the defendant’s stand.
Now he has a shaved head, and his eyebrows are full of shrinking and vicissitudes.
He squatted honestly, and when his eyes met his ex-wife, he would panic and dodge. It was obvious that he was afraid of her, and he did not have the arrogance when he used violence at that time.
However, seeing his ex-wife sitting next to the prosecutor with a radiant face, and Chen Cheng sitting in the auditorium, Liu Wenbin couldn’t help but feel a little strange.
Isn’t that friend of hers the lawyer who helped her to request the incidental civil damages? Why did you go down there alone to be a spectator?
Ling Xiao seemed to see through what her ex-husband was thinking, and took out his lawyer card without haste.
“Oh, I speak for myself today.”
Liu Wenbin:…
Why? Why did this woman get better after she left him!
Criminal evidence was displayed one by one, shocking, and the prosecutor pressed step by step without any loopholes. But Liu Wenbin has been interrogated countless times in the detention center, and looking at the physical evidence and listening to the questions, he has become numb.
Ah, and the video of how I was “justified” and the medical records that were humiliated and dared not touch, were once again shown in front of everyone.
Murder.
His life is completely ruined. The only possibility is to behave well in court, beg for mercy, and try to sentence less.
Liu Wenbin took a deep breath and began to cry and repent.
“I was obsessed for a while, and it was only a few fights. It was just a little spat between husband and wife. I have never had domestic violence before! Really, in fact, I am a good man who loves family—”
The prosecutor listened carefully, and then, with sympathetic eyes, asked for witnesses to appear in court.
…Wait, what?
Liu Wenbin stunned as he watched his ex-wife slowly come in, smiled at him, and walked onto the witness stand.
“I’m Lin Chuqing, his first wife.”
“When he was with me, he committed domestic violence almost every day. There is no reason. If I insist, he is probably just a repeat offender who enjoys it…”
Lin Chuqing testified in a dazzling suit and coherently. Compared with the melancholy and tired appearance a year ago, it was almost impossible to tell that it was the same person. Not to mention that the last time Liu Wenbin saw his ex-wife was many years ago. At that time, she was skinny and had almost no desire to live.
Ling Xiao heartily echoed the condemnation: “There are still such shameless people in the world!”
The ex-wife and ex-wife looked at him with disdain, and then ignored it contemptuously as if looking at garbage.
They live freely and brightly, and they are just prisoners, waiting for the judgment of fate.
What is that look? How dare they!
Liu Wenbin only felt that the humiliation and collapse she experienced at the moment was no less than the shattering of the earth when she woke up in the hospital.
It’s all of them, his whole life is ruined!
“Ah, ah, let me go, you two bitches, you should have been killed in the first place…”
Foul language echoed in the courtroom, the judge hurriedly struck the gavel, and several bailiffs crushed him. No matter how stupid Mother Liu was, she knew what the consequences would be, and she fainted as soon as she rolled her eyes.
Ling Xiao quietly admired the other party’s self-defeating behavior for a while.
Good guy, another friendly comrade?
Then frowned and said, “Your Majesty, our defendant is so arrogant in contempt of court, it seems that he has no intention of repentance. With this attitude, can we still be lenient?”
Judge: It’s hard for me too!
So with the joint efforts of the three parties of the public security, procuratorate and law, and Liu Wenbin (?), the sentence was successfully extended and the sentence was pronounced in court.
Life imprisonment, deprivation of political rights for life.
The gavel hits and the dust settles.
Some people, even death is too cheap for them. Perhaps only under the isolation of the barbed wire, through the long years of torment and remorse, can it be called redemption.
The year-long case came to an end, and the past was left in the past, and even the air became lighter.
Ling Xiao, Chen Cheng and Lin Chuqing smiled at each other and left the court hand in hand.
Lin Chuqing lived a free and comfortable life after her divorce, opened a cultural company, and became more and more happy as a girl back then. Now that the baby has grown, when the mother wants to show off a wave of cute children, she strongly invites two people to play at her house.
“I don’t know what happened to your ex-husband.”
Lin Chuqing talked about this man again, and said indifferently, “Oh, I heard that there was a fight between prisoners and he died.”
Life is so twisted, and death is so sloppy. Perhaps a person’s good and evil, there is also God’s will in the dark.
Ling Xiao agreed to the invitation, set the time to Saturday, and said that it was time to take Nannan to play together, and everyone could go out for an outing.
Lin Chuqing waved away happily. Ling Xiao also watched the party and friend leave, and whispered “Goodbye”.
She always clapped their shoulders with them and said “goodbye” with mischievous laughter, but there was rarely such a solemn time.
Chen Cheng felt something, and stopped.
For a long time, for some reason, she suddenly took out her sunglasses and covered her eyes.
Chen Cheng slowly opened his mouth and said, without any emotion in his voice:
“I really congratulate you today, I got a lawyer’s license, and I’m waiting for Liu Wenbin’s judgment.”
There are still many, many questions that I want to ask this partner. But when he was full of words, when he was speaking, there was only silence.
I don’t know who’s sigh, quietly drifting away with the wind.
Ling Xiao smiled brightly, but was not sad.
“Yeah, today is such a good day for farewell and reunion.”
“It’s an end, but it’s also a new beginning.”
The passion and thoughts, responsibility and faith flowing in my heart, as well as the gratitude that cannot be expressed in words, are like hot magma, about to erupt.
Ling Xiao felt the rhythm of the heart and the beating hope conveyed.
Everywhere she looks, she is full of tenderness.
That’s it.
“The next road, she has been able to walk alone.”
The afterglow of the setting sun outside is about to end, and the sky is dyed with a strange color, which is a fire cloud that has not been seen for a long time.
People stopped to look up and admire, immersed in the beauty of this moment.
“Goodbye.”
