What Comes Around Goes Around - Chapter 92

After getting angry, Cheng Yao finally thought about it calmly. Faced with such a big disagreement, she and Qian Heng failed to reconfirm the communication at the beginning of the relationship. It can be said that they are both responsible. Qian Heng feels well that since Cheng Yao agreed to the relationship, he naturally accepted not marrying and DINK; Cheng Yao subconsciously believes that Qian Heng chased him, of course he should have approved his own principles.

Today, facing this principled contradiction, Cheng Yao is very confused.

Fortunately, the reality did not give her a chance to think about these things, and now she is facing a more intuitive dilemma.

Now she is still in Liang’s team, and Liang still has a bright knife to herself. Is it just that at this time go directly to complain to Qian Heng? Cheng Yao didn’t want to. She does not bother to influence Qian Heng, who is a partner of Jun Heng, as a girlfriend. This is unprofessional and has no independent female style at all.

What’s more, even if you really want to file a complaint, there is nothing to say. Did Liang still let himself sit on the bench? Without knowing the abilities of team members, it is not a mistake to let the other party participate in core affairs, and only do auxiliary work first. This is almost any workplace. As a boss, it is not a mistake. Liang is still doing superficial work well enough. In front of everyone in Jun Heng, she is just a female par of Cheng Yao, who treats the rest of the staff, is also kind and gentle, but has strong ability at critical moments, outstanding work, and looks good. Suddenly it was very popular in Junheng. If there is a confrontation, in contrast, Cheng Yao, a young lawyer who is in love with his boss, may be less convinced than Liang.

“In the workplace, who doesn’t encounter some storms? Who doesn’t meet two bitches? Cheng Yao, don’t panic, just do it!”

Qin Qin’s encouragement was still in his ears, Cheng Yao clenched a fist, full of fighting spirit in his heart.

I don’t know if it was her working status that Liang still conscience finally found out. In the new working day, she finally arranged a case for Cheng Yao.

“It’s just a divorce case. The amount of the subject matter is not too big, about five million. Cheng Yao, you are responsible for it. Try it first.” Liang still handled the materials to Cheng Yao very publicly, without personal hostility towards her. She glanced at Cheng Yao, “I asked you to do auxiliary work before, firstly to understand your character and ability, secondly, I want to temper your character, and thirdly, it is for your good. If you come to mine The team will handle big cases independently. I’m afraid I won’t be able to convince the public. In private, everyone still feels that I take care of you because I know the relationship between you and Qian Heng.” Liang still said calmly, “This is a small case. , But everything started from an early age.”

Even Cheng Yao had to wonder if he was too sensitive before, and he blamed Liang still.

It was just that when she took the case materials back to the desk and opened it, the heart of self-reflection almost stopped.

This case, as Liang still said, the amount of the subject matter is not large, and the case is simple. Both parties are not rich or expensive, but it is completely incompatible with simplicity, and it can even be said to be a bit complicated.

The two have only been married for three years. However, they have lived together for more than ten years before. There are various kinds of property that need to be divided. The list is printed on A4 paper and has more than ten pages, and there are many clues.

For more than ten years of living together, I was in you, and you in me, and any traces of it have the taste of the other party. Now that you want to divide, it is indeed a mess. As an attorney, it is a little bit messy. I’m afraid it will make mistakes if it is poor.

However, facing the mine that Liang still buried on him, Cheng Yao was not timid. Qian Heng went abroad again because of the foreign-related marriage case, and he happened to devote himself fully to the case at hand.

For this case, Cheng Yao almost worked hard. She wanted Liang to still look at her abilities and wanted to tell her that she was not dependent on Qian Heng’s dodder flower.

Cheng Yao is acting on behalf of the woman Wu Jie, who is an old aunt in her fifties. In order to sort out the property list, Cheng Yao interviewed the other party several times and found that the other party was an extremely difficult person. She must compare her baht and baht. She is shrewd and greedy for petty and cheap. She is almost pathologically obsessed with dividing her ex-husband’s property.

“Lawyer Xiaocheng, there is an old TV set in the garage that has been scrapped for more than a year. You forgot to include it on this list. This old TV is now sold for several hundred yuan. How can it be cheaper? Things? Must be divided!”

“And those flowers on the balcony, you should also include them. Some orchids were bought at the International Orchid Expo Festival. They are precious. If he wants to get the orchids, he has to give me cash at a discount!”

…

Cheng Yao didn’t understand that they had been living together for so long, and the man hadn’t cheated, so why did he get a divorce? Now when she saw herself as the client, she understood everything.

Too pretentious! Being tricky, just looking for opportunities, you are greedy for small deals Living with such a person is indeed very tiring. When living together, Wu Jie may still be able to constrain because he is not a legal wife. After marriage, Wu Jie may let herself go… Wu Jie’s husband asked for a divorce, and Cheng Yao is also considered. Some understand.

Cheng Yao had an appointment with her partner in the cafe downstairs three times. After learning that Cheng Yao would pay, Wu Jie was not polite at all. Not only did she order a meal, she also ordered a cup of take-out and a bunch of snacks. Yao talked, while she finished eating sandwiches, cookies and pudding, Cheng Yao had no doubt in this posture. The other party came here on an empty stomach without eating.

“Lawyer Xiaocheng, you said that your lawyer’s fees are a bit expensive, can you make them cheaper? Look at my family’s conditions, you also know that if you divorced a dead old man, you have one set of assets It’s a small house. I don’t have much cash left. I guess it’s going to be difficult even to provide for the elderly. You young lawyers, you can make a lot of money with just one mouthful. Will the lawyer’s fee be reduced again?”

“Aunt Wu, the lawyer’s fee is based on the two-pronged standard of government guidance and market regulation. According to different cases, there is a range that will not be inflated, but at least we must let our lawyers cover the cost. I will charge you. , It’s already the lowest in divorce cases in accordance with the lawyer’s fee standard in City A.” Cheng Yao smiled, “You seem to be a lawyer who just moved a mouthful, but you see, you don’t ask anyone to touch this mouthful. Ask a lawyer to explain that this slogan must also have professional accumulation. Besides, if I charge you particularly low, you should be wary, because the low price can only show that the professional services and standards provided by the lawyer may be lower than normal standards. , The cost is low, and the strength is poor, so the fee will naturally be low, but in this way, you are the one who suffers in the end.”

Wu Jie made a few complaints and nagging about the charges, crying for a while, and complimenting Cheng Yao for a while, but it was a pity that Cheng Yao finally pushed her back.

This is the first time Cheng Yao has encountered such a difficult party, and she has to spend a lot of time and energy dealing with Wu Jie. Fortunately, in the end, all the property lists were sorted out, and the response to the suit was completed. Wu Jie, who was difficult to please, was also comforted, and she waited for a few days to open the court.

——

Cheng Yao was full of fighting spirit because of the smooth progress of Wu Jie’s case, but Liang who watched all this was still getting more irritable. She admitted that she was selfish when she took the case. The case with a value of 5 million, the difficult and caressing parties, the complicated property list, just these three points, for Jun Heng who does not lack the source of the case, can pass directly, but Liang still took it, and Assigned to Cheng Yao.

She did it on purpose. She wanted to see Cheng Yao being entangled to collapse and disintegrate when faced with such a market party; faced with such a complicated property name, she made a mistake in sorting out; faced with a case of only 5 million yuan, the psychological gap was too big and difficult to settle. Angry…

She almost waited coldly for Cheng Yao to make a mistake and step on the thunder, and then forced herself into an embarrassing situation.

It’s just not, none of this. Cheng Yao didn’t complain, didn’t complain, and didn’t have anything. She accepted her case assignment as easily as a good employee who knew nothing about it. She was serious and down-to-earth and went all out.

Liang was still standing at Cheng Yao’s desk, picking up the list of responding materials and evidentiary materials she had compiled in the Wu Jie case. The more I looked at it, the less he felt.

As a novice lawyer with such a short work experience, Cheng Yao is really excellent. Although Wu Jie’s case is not difficult, the format of the respondent, the detailed list of evidence, and the neatness of the materials are all these details. You can see the hard work and professionalism of a lawyer. Cheng Yao is perfect in almost every detail. She clearly listed Wu Jie and her husband’s pre-marital and post-marital properties, so detailed that even Liang was still a little embarrassed.

When I was prejudiced against Cheng Yao, I felt that she was incapable of taking a short cut by Qian Heng. She was not worthy of Qian Heng. But now that she knows that she is capable of making Qian Heng admire, Liang still feels Not only is there no mood to ease, but jealousy is more suppressed.

She knows that she is so unprofessional, public is public and private is private, and should not bring emotions to Cheng Yao at work, but she can’t help it. And Liang still found that this kind of hostility, as time went by, became stronger and stronger. Her heart was like a black cat full of malicious intent and ready to attack, especially when she saw Wu Jie’s response to the case. This kind of resistance and malice reached its zenith.

But after receiving a call from Qian Heng this morning, after communicating with the regular work in the office, he actually thanked himself very carefully and seriously again.

“Thank you for taking care of Cheng Yao for me.”

Qian Heng with the word “thank you” is never in the dictionary, because Cheng Yao has frequently thanked herself recently.

At this moment, Liang still completely lost his mind. Cheng Yao couldn’t solve this case perfectly simply. She couldn’t rely on this case to get everyone’s affirmation so easily. She can’t continue to be together with Qian Heng…

At this moment, her sanity was completely obscured by twisted jealousy and unwillingness. She carefully looked through the evidence in Wu Jie’s case, and there was no one around. Liang still fought with heaven and man for a long time, and finally she took the original evidence like lightning. I took a piece of paper…

In this case, it doesn’t matter what Cheng Yao decides. As long as he saves the field in the end, the client can still get the usual judgment in his favor. Even if the process is tortuous, it does not affect the interests of customers, nor does it affect the final result.

——

The foreign-related marriage case that Qian Hengxin took is more complicated than expected. He has been in Los Angeles for almost a week, and has not seen Cheng Yao for a week. Two people can only communicate by video now.

Even though there are huge disagreements about the future, human feelings never accept the shackles of wisdom, just hearing Qian Heng’s voice, Cheng Yao’s heart throbs with joy.

She had never been to Los Angeles, and she kept asking this question and that with curiosity. Qian Hengyu was gentle. Because of the jet lag, it was clearly the early morning on the west coast of the United States. He also worked overtime for several nights due to heavy work. Speaking for Cheng Yao patiently.

“It was finally a bit empty at dusk. I went to Venice Beach. The sea was beautiful and the sky was blue. This is a famous beach in California.” Speaking of this, Qian Heng paused, and after a while, Cheng Yao did it again. He heard his deep and nice voice.

“But I think it’s not as good as the beach in City B.”

Cheng Yao looked at the pictures of Venice Beach on the Internet and protested: “How could it be possible that Venice Beach is much more beautiful! Just tell the truth, and I won’t be jealous of your unbalanced heart!”

Qian Heng’s voice was calm and natural. In the video, he lowered his head slightly: “Because you are not in Venice Beach.”

Cheng Yao was stunned, she couldn’t help but giggled.

Qian Heng and her talked about other things, and naturally asked about work: “Is there anything wrong with the team after arriving at Liang still? Is there anything I need to come out and help you communicate?”

Cheng Yao resisted the grievance in her heart, and said naturally: “No.” She didn’t want to talk about work, so she changed the subject skillfully.

“My case is a bit complicated. It would take ten days before I could return to China.” Qian Heng’s eyes were gentle, “but I will shorten the rest time and come back in a week.”

Cheng Yao was a little embarrassed: “Just relax, don’t overwork, ten days is ten days, and I can’t wait for three days.”

“I can’t wait.”

…

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yao’s ears were still a bit hot.

For Qian Heng, she has a passion for drinking poison to quench her thirst. Knowing that there is a disagreement with each other about the future, knowing that this kind of major life philosophy conflict will explode sooner or later, knowing that some conflicts will disappear without thinking about it, knowing that over time, myself and Qian Heng will always be due to marriage and future Quarrel and discord, knowing that the most sensible way at this moment should be to keep a distance, give each other space to calm down, and think about whether you can still reconcile in this contradiction, whether you can compromise and accept Qian Heng’s unmarried and DINK, but still bear it. Can’t help but want to get close to this man.

Maybe this is love, knowing the danger, but still indulging yourself.

——

Fortunately, there is not only love in life, but also other things that require people to struggle.

On Tuesday, the afternoon was the opening of Wu Jie’s divorce and property division case. It’s just that Cheng Yao, who was holding the winning ticket, was caught off guard by a sudden change.

Before getting married, Wu Jie’s husband asked Wu Jie to borrow one hundred thousand yuan because of renovations. Wu Jie, who must compare the price of the baht, naturally asked him to write an IOU. This part of the money was borrowed before marriage, so although the two married later , But now, in the event of a divorce, Wu Jie requires her husband to return this part of the pre-marital loan, which is completely legal.

Originally, with the original IOU and the bank transfer flow, it was very straightforward to prove the facts, but now, when Cheng Yao finally sorted through the responding materials before the trial, he found that the vital original IOU was missing. !

“How is it possible? I have never brought this material out of the office. I turned it over in the morning and it was still complete.

Cheng Yao and Tan Ying nervously rummaged under the table, in the drawers, in the desktop files, and even dig out the trash can, but they still couldn’t see the IOU.

Cheng Yao went to retrieve the video from the door of the law firm. In the past half day, no suspicious person entered the law firm, but where did I go?

The court was about to begin in more than an hour, and Cheng Yao was completely caught off guard by this unexpected incident.

Although Cheng Yao had provided duplicate copies of the IOU to the plaintiff and the court in response to the lawsuit, once there was no original evidence, the other party could claim that the copy was untrue on the grounds that there was no original verification. As for the turnover transfer, It can also be claimed that it is not a money transaction formed by borrowing money. At that time, this pre-marital loan will most likely not receive legal support.

It’s a pity that God seems to be going against Cheng Yao, until the court session, she still couldn’t find the original IOU.

On the way to the marriage court, Cheng Yao’s heart was hot for a while and cold for a while. It was the first time that she encountered this kind of thing. Apart from being at a loss, she was panic, uneasy and ashamed. Various thoughts flashed in her mind.

No matter how the IOU disappears, if it is gone, it is gone. Now it doesn’t make sense to think about anything else. It’s the first thing to do.

When Wu Jie gave this original IOU to herself, she did not ask herself to sign any original document handover of evidence. Therefore, even if Wu Jie claimed to have given herself this IOU, she could do it without evidence. Dismiss the responsibility on the grounds of not receiving it.

With Wu Jie’s character that must be compared with each other, if she knows that the evidence is missing, she will never let herself go easily. Once she admits that she has lost the evidence, it is almost conceivable how she will make trouble.

People always tend to protect themselves in times of crisis, but…

It’s just that Cheng Yao doesn’t want to be a person who infringes on the interests of her clients for self-protection. Even if she is about to face ugly consequences, even if she may not end up, she still decides to confess to Wu Jie and admit her mistakes.

At Junheng, security is always very good, and entry and exit are required to be registered. Therefore, everyone habitually puts the lawsuit documents on the desk. First, the desk drawer is full of various case materials, and there is no space; Cases to be handled in the near future are easier to find on the table. Therefore, Cheng Yao, like other colleagues, put the materials of Wu Jie’s case on the table.

Cheng Yao still doesn’t understand why the IOU is gone. She seems to be right. However, thinking about it carefully, this is indeed her negligence. If she could lock the case materials when she left her seat, this would not happen. It’s up. The rest of the colleagues on the table is obviously not a reason for exoneration. After all, what everyone is doing may not be correct. No matter how cautious and meticulous as a lawyer is.

Although it was painful, it was another lesson that practice taught Cheng Yao.

——

As the court was approaching, Wu Jie naturally couldn’t accept this. She almost scolded Cheng Yao in the most vulgar language she had mastered. Cheng Yao didn’t refute this except for a serious apology.

“That’s how it happened. I’m sorry to lose the original evidence.” Cheng Yao’s attitude is very sincere. “Aunt Wu, please don’t get angry. First of all, even if there is no original, I will fight for this one hundred thousand, and once the lawsuit is due to I lost the IOU, and this one hundred thousand yuan failed to get support, then I personally compensate you this one hundred thousand yuan, and I will definitely not let you suffer any loss due to my personal reasons. This is a letter of commitment I drafted. I have already Signed, please have a look.”

“I’ve never seen a lawyer like you. You have a clever face and a dumb belly. He looks so good that he doesn’t look good. It’s all kind of stuff. Before his hair grows up, he came out to cheat money. The barriers to becoming a lawyer are really low! Ability, you lost even the important evidence I gave you, so there is **** in your mind?”

Wu Jie was very angry and her attitude was very bad: “You have lost the evidence, and you still expect the dead old man to admit the loan? “I will also fight for this one hundred thousand.” What do you use to fight for it? Your brain?”

Wu Jie was a bit swearing, but Cheng Yao’s letter of commitment finally calmed her emotions. With Cheng Yao’s assurance and constant apologies, she finally cleared up her emotions and went to court with Cheng Yao.

——

Cheng Yao suppressed her emotions. Although the IOU was lost, she was not ready to give up easily.

The trial judge announced the trial discipline, confirmed the identities of the parties and the attorneys representing the parties, informed the parties and their agents of their rights, the composition of the trial, and asked whether there was any application for recusal, and then the trial began. In order to find out the truth and confirm the facts, the plaintiff reads out the indictment, and after the defendant makes a defense, it is the stage of proof production and cross-examination.

“Agent Wu Jie claims a loan of 100,000 yuan before marriage, and a copy of the relevant IOU has been submitted to the other party. Do the other party and the agent disagree with this fact?”

Under Cheng Yao’s care, Wu Jie maintained her emotional stability. Neither of them showed the loss of the original IOU, and Cheng Yao was even more composed.

The winner is here!

“No, we admit the loan and have no objection.”

As if hearing Cheng Yao’s prayer in the dark, Wu Jie’s husband’s attorney, without knowing that the original IOU was lost, approved the copy of the IOU provided by Cheng Yao at the time of the lawsuit!

At this point, Cheng Yao’s hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

The judge began the cross-examination process: “The defendant Wu Jiefang is asked to show the original IOU.”

Traditionally, when responding to a lawsuit, only a photocopy is required, and the original is issued to the judge during the trial, and the judge and the photocopy can be checked for correctness.

Cheng Yao stood up: “I’m sorry the judge, our original is lost.”

And almost at the same time, as Cheng Yao expected, Wu Jie’s husband and his attorney bowed their heads to discuss.

Not long after, Wu Jie’s husband stood up and changed his words: “Judge, I want to clarify that I don’t admit this loan. In fact, this loan does not exist. This IOU is that Wu Jie said before marriage that he wanted a love. The deposit, I was forced to sign, but there was no debt at all.”

Once any lawyer knows that the original evidence of the opposing party is lost, his first reaction is to make his client deny the authenticity of the evidence. After all, the original is gone, and there is no proof. The evidence of the photocopy has always been far worse than the original. It can be said to be fake.

Wu Jie’s husband’s lawyer did the same.

Cheng Yao showed Wu Jie’s transfer records without hesitation: “This is evidence that my client lent 100,000 yuan, which can fully prove that the debt really exists.”

Wu Jie’s husband’s lawyer naturally retorted: “This money is Wu Jie’s return of the loan from my client, not her loan.”

Cheng Yao did not make concessions: “I have completed the burden of proof for our loan transfer. You claim that this 100,000 is our party’s return of the loan to your party. Then, please provide evidence for the fact that your party lent 100,000. .”

The other party further argued: “At that time, Wu Jie used cash for the 100,000 yuan.”

…

Court debate, you come and go. After the 100,000 yuan before marriage, Cheng Yao and the lawyer of the other party debated the division of property after marriage. In the end, both parties completed their respective statements. All the dust has settled, and only the judge will choose. Sentencing.
