What Comes Around Goes Around - Chapter 98

When Chen Linli’s situation stabilized, Cheng Yao hired a caregiver for her and hurried back to the law firm without stopping.

Before leaving, she asked Chen Linli about the contact information of several accident witnesses. Chen Linli would still look for objective evidence to support it rationally.

“Everyone is enthusiastic. When we had an accident, several of our compatriots stopped traveling and accompanied us to the hospital. I was also injured at the time, with a concussion and a waist injury. My head was dizzy and I couldn’t get up. , These kind people help to cover the medical expenses, as well as the translators who are good at English.”

Chen Linli is still grateful to this day: “But all the lawyers who could ask at the first instance also asked. It was chaotic at the time. No one cared about anything else. No one can remember when Akai He Ranran disappeared. I was lying in the ambulance too, maybe because of a concussion, or maybe because I didn’t dare to recall it at all. I hardly have any memory of this period…”

“It’s okay, don’t force yourself to think about it anymore.” Cheng Yao patted Chen Linli’s hand, not panicking at all, she wanted to ask these witnesses, not the time of Zhang Kai and Zhang Ran’s death, what she was concerned about was Something else.

——

“Hello, Mr. Su, I am Chen Linli’s attorney, Cheng Yao. Regarding the incident that her husband and son suffered a hot air balloon accident in Turkey, I would like to thank you again on behalf of Chen Linli. Now I want to ask you, at that time… ”

…

Chen Linli gave herself a total of seven contacts, Cheng Yao asked them one by one, until the last Xu Jin, Cheng Yao finally heard the answer she wanted.

“Speaking of videos, I really did shoot them.” Xu Jin is a college student. She is very embarrassed. “I am a small internet celebrity on Douyin. In order to maintain traffic, I have to shoot a lot of videos every day. That time I went to Turkey. , I’ve been filming almost the whole process, and I’m going to go back to see which streaming videos can be cut into fun.”

Cheng Yao’s eyes lit up completely: “So, did you take the video of the accident?”

Xu Jin gave an “um”, and then explained, “I really don’t mean any disrespect to the deceased. It’s just because of my professional habits. I was filming at the time. I didn’t stop, the ghosts and gods continued to film, but I Assure you, I haven’t posted it online. Although I want traffic, I won’t even have a bottom line.”

“Thank you. Chen Linli told me that after the accident, you have always volunteered to do the translation. I will thank you again for her. I believe you will not do such a thing, but now I want this video to confirm something. , Do you have any more?”

“I have. I have backed up everything I took.”

In the end, Xu Jin packaged the entire video and passed it to Cheng Yao. Cheng Yao opened it as soon as he received it.

As Xu Jin said, she started the filming from the hot air balloon taking off. Cheng Yao watched patiently. Finally, the part she was waiting for came. There was a sudden shaking in the video screen, followed by screaming and shaking, and then There were various languages ​​shouting, and Cheng Yao tried to distinguish the sentences in Chinese from these chaotic sounds.

“Someone has thrown it out! Save people!”

“There are three people injured. Hurry up, who will do CPR?”

…

At that time, the situation was urgent and panic. Everyone, regardless of their nationality, showed the utmost kindness to rescue in the face of the disaster.

And as Chen Linli said, after being thrown out, Chen Linli was the least injured. Although she had a concussion, she was still conscious. This is faithfully presented in Xu Jin’s video. She even photographed Chen Linli’s situation in a panic. She was injured on her waist and could not move, her body was bruised, her clothes and faces were blood stains, her face was pale, but she did not take care of it at all. Own injury…

“Please, help me see my husband and children…” In the video, she endured a headache. Even though she couldn’t move her waist and was so embarrassed, she still wanted to crawl to see Zhang Kai and Zhang Ran.

Chen Linli’s face was filled with great anxiety and fright and despair. Even at this moment, Cheng Yao still couldn’t bear it, especially when she learned that Zhang Kai and Zhang Ran were seriously injured, her instant reaction was an unreserved pleading.

“Save my husband and children first, save them first…”

Like holding a driftwood on the sea, she ignored her injury and took the rescuer’s hand…

Cheng Yao knew that he didn’t need to watch everything next. She turned off the video. Sitting in front of the computer, I couldn’t be calm for a long time.

It is true that as Qian Heng said, many family disputes have been done for the sake of money and the ugliness that he will tear his face for profit, but there is never a lack of beautiful love in the world, even if the outside world feels unworthy, it feels false. But Chen Linli loved Zhang Kai deeply, and she did not cheat.

——

After getting what she wanted, Cheng Yao didn’t rest for a moment. She called Qian Heng almost immediately.

“Qian Heng, I want to talk to you. Shall we meet?”

Qian Heng was a little surprised, but there was a hint of joy in his calm tone: “Okay.”

Without further ado, Cheng Yao hoped to meet right away, but Qian Heng was unexpectedly eager. He coughed unnaturally, “Now, let me come here. See you at the cafe downstairs from the law firm.” ”

Obviously she was closer to that cafe, but Cheng Yao sorted out the materials of Chen Linli’s case before going down, and found that Qian Heng had actually arrived first.

Cheng Yao found a quiet place by the window and ordered hot tea. During this process, Qian Heng didn’t speak, but looked at her carefully and intently. Cheng Yao was a little awkward with that look. She couldn’t help but looked up at Qian Heng, but she was so good-looking. This stare didn’t have much momentum, and after the stare, Qian Heng’s gaze became even more presumptuous.

He kept looking at her, as if the world didn’t exist, only Cheng Yao was in his eyes. Obviously the two had only seen each other recently, but Qian Heng’s eyes made it look like they hadn’t seen each other in ten years.

As soon as the waiter in charge of the order left, only Cheng Yao and Qian Heng were left in this corner of the space.

Qian Heng pursed his lips, then averted his gaze: “What do you want to talk about?”

Cheng Yao was not modest either: “That’s it. Coming today, I want to talk to you about the case of Chen Linli and Huang Ran…”

Before he could finish his words, Qian Heng raised his head. He looked at Cheng Yao, his tone a little bit astonished and a little bit gritted, “You are looking for me because of the case?”

Cheng Yao was at a loss: “How about it? Didn’t you agree to see me to communicate the case?”

“…”

“Okay, I won’t talk nonsense. That’s it. In the case of Chen Linli and Huang Ran, I want to try to let the two parties meet. I hope to negotiate a settlement and reach a pre-trial settlement before the second instance.”

Although Qian Heng’s expression was terrible before he spoke, with a bit of viciousness, once Cheng Yao talked about the case, Qian Heng quickly entered a professional state.

“Impossible.” He took a sip of his tea and glanced at Cheng Yao. “Huang Ran doesn’t want to see Chen Linli at all. It is too late to hate. There is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation.”

“That’s because Huang Ran has always insisted on her prejudice. She feels that Chen Linli and her son are only interested in Zhang’s money, and she doesn’t love Zhang Kai at all. She always feels that Chen Linli has used her son and can’t get it from the bottom of her heart. Accepting Chen Linli is why she is so hostile to her. But the fact is not like this. Chen Linli loves Zhang Kai very much, more than she loves herself. Her original intention of wanting Kaili is not to fight for inheritance. If Huang Ran can understand this, It is not that there is no possibility of reconciliation.”

Qian Heng’s tone was indifferent: “Cheng Yao, I taught you a long time ago, stay away from the client, don’t believe the client’s story, don’t pursue the details, just understand the client’s request, and solve it professionally from the legal level.” Qian Heng’s expression was a bit disdainful, “What’s more, I have already said that love can be pure, but marriage is impossible. There are always various interests involved in marriage. Marriage is a cage. In the end, it is like this. The war of interests of the painted skin is for the sake of money. If Chen Linli is really not for money, he will not give up after the first trial?”

Cheng Yao pursed her lips. She brought a computer and directly put the compiled documents, videos, and witness testimonies in front of Qian Heng in the same way: “A lawyer who only cares about the client’s demands is safe and understandable, but more often , What is the original intention behind the client’s request? I always feel that sometimes the outcome of the case is also very important. Lawyers need to be professional, but they also need feelings.”

She is neither humble nor overbearing, looking into Qian Heng’s eyes: “I always remember your guidance, but I also have my own way and style, and I also have my own thinking. I will not blindly trust the client. I am a lawyer and do anything. I have reason to infer any conclusion.”

“These evidences, now I would like to ask you to take a look.”

——

As Qian Heng finished watching Cheng Yao’s materials and videos, his face slowly let go of his initial disdain and cold arrogance.

“Save my husband and children first, save them first…”

In the video, Chen Linli’s voice was hoarse and desperate, Qian Heng pressed her lips tightly, his face was mixed with surprise, stunned and a subtle daze.

“Chen Linli just attempted suicide once. I know that from Huang Ran’s point of view, this must be a show. No matter what she does to remember Zhang Kai Zhangran, Huang Ran will wear colored glasses to see it.” Cheng Yao paused. “This video comes from people who witnessed the accident at that time. There was no editing and no falsification. If you don’t believe it, you can go for identification. Chen Linli was also injured at the time, and there was a concussion, and the situation was not good. People are in danger, especially those who are in danger At that time, the first reaction is often the most true emotional projection in the heart. Most people in Chen Linli’s situation will definitely ask someone to save themselves first. This is nothing to blame, it’s just a human instinct.”

“But Chen Linli didn’t. Her first reaction was to save Zhang Kai and Zhang Ran first. Because of love, she overcame even the most selfish self-saving instinct. At the most dangerous time, she blurted out to save her husband and children.” Cheng Yao looked at Qian Heng, “Looking at this, do you still think that Chen Linli and Zhang Kai got married out of interest, not love?”

For the first time, Cheng Yao straightened up in front of Qian Heng and explained everything with evidence. She felt proud and full of pride, and the sense of mission as a lawyer in her heart became stronger.

“I have always felt that the law is cold and neutral, but lawyers should be more humane outside of the rationality of the law. This will not only affect the professionalism, but even make a lawyer better.” Cheng Yao Looking directly into Qian Heng’s eyes, “I will not deny that you are more professional than me, but sometimes, your knowledge of the profession is not entirely correct. If we handle this dispute in a lawsuit, my chances of winning It’s very young. Starting from the time of death, it is too difficult to overturn the transnational death certificate, but can we think about a better way to resolve this dispute?”

The girl in front of her is bright and confident, she seems to have a brilliant light, professional, strong, but not aggressive. Qian Heng never avoided any opponent’s gaze on the case, never bowed his head to any opponent, and never needed to admit to his opponent that he was wrong.

For so many years, he has never missed it.

However, this time, he subconsciously looked away.

Cheng Yao is right.

“Our lawyers are conflict resolvers, but the method of resolution is not necessarily limited to disputed lawsuits and family disputes. It can also be reconciled.” Cheng Yao pursed her lips, earnestly and attentively, “Chen Linli loves Zhang Kai very much. Zhang Ran, I believe Huang Ran is the same. This accident has dealt both Chen Linli and Huang Ran a blow to the loss of their loved ones. With love for their loved ones, why can’t they reconcile if they love the same deceased?”

Struggling while the iron is hot, Cheng Yao also confided that Chen Linli did not want to divide Kelly and that it was the actual person in power behind Kelly.

“There is no principled contradiction between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, but Huang Ran’s misunderstanding and prejudice led to miscommunication. If you split your inheritance and fight with each other, no matter who wins the lawsuit, is it really a win? It’s just a lose-lose that seems to have won. I took the money and lost the affection. I can’t reconcile it for a lifetime. The dead Zhang Kai and Zhang Ran would want to see this ending? Chen Linli and Huang Ran are not bad guys, and neither Deep hatred, love the same people, and endure the same sorrows. If you are fought to death by mistakes, and you are bruised and bruised, no matter who wins, isn’t it a tragedy?”

Serious men are charming, and so are serious women. Looking at Cheng Yao in front of him, Qian Heng, in addition to his uncontrollable miss and love for her, gave birth to an impulse to compete with her for the first time.

Cheng Yao grew faster than expected. She is still a bit naive in terms of professionalism and experience, but her tossing energy of refusing to admit defeat allows anyone to feel a little bit of sympathy.

Qian Heng once knew that Cheng Yao was working hard. He used the eyes of men to see women more. The appreciation of her was more on the level of men and women. Her hard work was also icing on the cake. exist. And until this time, Qian Heng met Cheng Yao again with the eyes of his opponent for the first time.

I have always heard that women who are very good and love to participate in male competition are not attractive, but Qian Heng thinks they are all wrong. Cheng Yao at this time is more charming than ever before.

It is also the first time for Qian Heng to make an exception: “I will communicate with Huang Ran.”

Cheng Yao’s eyes brightened. As long as Qian Heng is willing to communicate, there is a high probability that the case will have a good ending.

“Huang Ran’s prejudice against Chen Linli is not a day or two. For some things, it is better for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to communicate face-to-face. I can’t guarantee that she is willing to meet Chen Linli, but I will try to facilitate their meeting.”

Qian Heng will not make a 100% guarantee, but with his words, Cheng Yao knows that she can rest assured.

——

After communicating this, Cheng Yao had some relief, and his stomach screamed out of time.

Qian Heng did not regard Yao as his tone, his tone was trying to be natural and unnatural: “What do you want to eat?”

“No, I have an appointment with my senior to have dinner together, and there are still several cases to discuss with him. He is already waiting for me at the entrance of the coffee shop.”

Before Qian Heng had time to say anything, Cheng Yao waved his hand to him in an official manner. She walked out of the coffee shop with a bright expression and capable posture, while outside, Gu Beiqing was smiling gently at her.

Gu Beiqing didn’t see Qian Heng. He waved to Cheng Yao, and the two of them left talking and laughing.

Handsome men and beautiful women, very beautiful scenery, but this scenery is how you look at Qian Heng’s eyes.

Qian Heng seemed to swallow 10,000 lemons, sour from the inside out.

Except for this jealousy and pantothenic acid, Qian Heng doubted his principles for the first time.

Chen Linli and Zhang Kai have been married for eleven years. For eleven years, in Qian Heng’s consciousness, all feelings have been wiped out by the firewood, rice, oil and salt of marriage, and marriage inevitably involves mixed interests and money. There will be no pure love in love at all, and it will only expose people’s selfishness and indifference. . What’s more, in the marriage of Chen Linli and Zhang Kai, the two are very different from each other in their family backgrounds, their social status is very different, and it is not surprising that they are mixed with the difficult relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and the colored vision around them. There is also a son in the youth rebellious period. It is completely Hard mode.

Qian Heng has handled so many family disputes. Based on past experience, this should be a typical marriage dispute that has been exhausted by reality. Regardless of whether there is love at the time of marriage, in short, at this moment, it is definitely gone.

It’s just that Chen Linli’s cry that she would rather give up and save her husband at a critical moment lingers in Qian Heng’s heart.

In the marriage, stripped of all the intricate and tedious details, does such a deep love always exist? Marriage is not necessarily the tomb of love, but will it precipitate a stronger love?

Is the insistence on non-marriage really right?

This question lingered in Qian Heng’s heart after Cheng Yao proposed to break up with himself. He subconsciously observed all the couples he could come into contact with in life, and even seriously began to think about the benefits of marriage. He didn’t realize it himself, he was already trying to persuade himself, trying to overthrow the principles he had adhered to for so long. If you insist on not marrying, you will lose Cheng Yao, and this knowledge almost drives Qian Heng to a desperate situation. For the first time in his life, he felt contradictory, tangled and no longer decisive, and he was a little confused about his principles.

Marriage may not be as unbearable as expected. Just like Chen Linli and Zhang Kai, there is still love and tenderness in marriage.

Because I have handled too many marriage cases that expose the ugly human nature, I believe that marriage is ugly. Is it really just a stubborn prejudice?

And more importantly, Qian Heng is increasingly unable to deceive himself.

He didn’t want to lose Cheng Yao, being with her was the life he yearned for. With her life splendid and bright, he could not lose her, and he was afraid of losing her.

Qian Heng vaguely remembered a line in a certain film and television drama.

“You are the first person I want to see when I wake up in the morning, and the only person I want to kiss before going to bed every night.”

Qian Heng only felt dismissive at the time. This sentence was hypocritical and overly literary.

However, he didn’t really understand its meaning until now.

When you have someone you truly love, suddenly, you understand all the love dialogues in the film and television dramas and all the songs about love.

In Qian Heng’s heart, principles and feelings clash violently. He only felt that at this moment, he was becoming less and less determined about not getting married and DINK.

He walked out of the cafe, and then saw Gu Beiqing who was untying his scarf to tie Cheng Yao. Gu Beiqing’s movements are gentle, and as long as he is a man, he can see what it means when he looks at Cheng Yao.

At this moment, Qian Heng only felt that a whole new star was exploding in his mind.

He is not dead yet! Did Gu Beiqing pry up the corner in front of him? !
