You Have Today - Chapter 37
Excluding the little episode of renting with Qian Heng, Cheng Yao’s work has been going very smoothly recently. Bao Rui checked the registration records of Chen Qingmei’s pregnancy test hospital. Dong Shan really filled in the information and signed it.
It’s easy to have a signature. It’s easy to apply for a handwriting identification. In addition, Bao Rui also extracted the inseparable monitoring of Dong Shan and Chen Qingmei’s ins and outs, as well as supporting evidence of the remaining details. As long as it cooperates with the DnA paternity test, it is a The complete chain of evidence is up.
I don’t know if God helped me. Chen Qingmei’s cord blood DnA identification did not cause any fetal risk. She almost completed the paternity test quite smoothly.
“The report shows that the child in Chen Qingmei’s belly and father Dong belong to the same paternal line.”
Although it is a great thing for his case, Cheng Yao’s heart is a little inexplicably complicated.
People always say, don’t believe who looks up, who bypasses the sky. But many times, Cheng Yao found that these words were just self-consolation, and more often, those good people who had mixed up with the wind and water were not good people.
Just like Chen Qingmei, she is an absolute exquisite egoist. She is selfish and savvy. She knows the rules of the patriarchal society. She puts herself into a shape suitable for the patriarchal aesthetic. It is delicate and tender, as if she can’t live without gentleness from a man. Properly obedient and obedient. However, her heart is clearer than anyone else. She is so low-profile, she is not really without thinking, willing to be a subordinate of a man, everything is obedient to a man; on the contrary, she knows what she wants and knows more than anyone. To achieve this purpose.
She may not only not love Dong Shan, but even the child with blood in her stomach.
She was never a sacrificial and dependent person in a patriarchal society, but a vested interest in feminism.
What impressed Cheng Yao even more was that after completing the paternity test, Chen Qingmei did not go back alone.
It was raining that day, while Cheng Yao was waiting for the rental, he saw a man of similar age to Chen Qingmei walked towards her under an umbrella.
“Why didn’t you care so much, the next time you stood inside, it was raining on the rain, and you are still pregnant with children, what if you catch a cold?”
The man looked ordinary and ordinary, but the kind of focus on Chen Qingmei between his eyebrows made him shine.
When there is love in one’s eyes, it is always dazzling.
He had only one umbrella in his hand, but carefully guarded Chen Qingmei with one hand. One umbrella almost tilted onto Chen Qingmei’s head, and his left half of his body was exposed to the rain uncovered.
Chen Qingmei looked weakly at each other and snuggled into her arms: “Xie Ming, it would be nice if I met you earlier.”
The man who was called Xie Ming blushed a little shyly: “It’s not too late to meet now. You have been too bitter before and only met Dong Shan who was kind to you. You mistake your gratitude for love, but you didn’t. I thought Dong Shan’s singleness lied to you. He hadn’t divorced his wife at all, and he hurt himself now… I will protect you in the future.”
Chen Qingmei’s eyes were a little wet: “But… but now everyone is scolding me, it’s Xiaosan, the fox spirit who seduce Dong Shan, a shameless woman.”
“Others don’t understand the truth of the matter at all. I don’t care what other people say about you.” Xie Ming smiled very gently. “You don’t care about those bad remarks. The public is already generalized. The public opinion is very misleading. I believe you are enough. How can you, a person with such a courage, do such a thing.”
…
The two men said something before holding hands together and leaving. As the two snuggled up and left under an umbrella, they were still talking about something that Cheng Yao could no longer hear.
Long after Dong Shan died, she has found a fresh next “host”.
Although this man doesn’t look rich, but with this kid in his stomach as a bargaining chip, Chen Qingmei can get the wealth that will never be used up in her life. She doesn’t need to care about money anymore, although she can find an honest man who makes herself happy, really Really treat her well and love her to protect her and tolerate her and believe her. Like any girl of her age, let’s have a normal love relationship.
So realistic, yet invulnerable.
Perhaps people in this world who are cheeky and have no lower limit live better? Killing and setting fire gold belt, repairing bridges and making up roads without corpses?
——
As if to verify Cheng Yao’s ideas, the first trial of Dongshan’s inheritance dispute was held without any suspense. Under the agency of Qian Heng, Jiang Wenxiu and Dong Min had nothing to say in the face of the evidence chain. The 210 million yuan in Dong Shan’s legacy will belong to the child in Chen Qingmei’s stomach.
In relation to the protection of fetal interests such as inheritance of inheritance and acceptance of gifts, the fetus is deemed to have the capacity for civil rights. Therefore, this part of the inheritance share will be retained. Once the child is living, the formalities for inheritance will be formally processed. If the child is born dead, the retained share will be recovered and continue to be re-processed in accordance with legal inheritance.
At the end of the trial, Jiang Wenxiu was pale, but still capable and elegant, but Dong Min couldn’t help but collapse and cried and asked Mr. Dong.
The facts are clearly in front of him, precisely because Mr. Dong agreed to the paternity test, so that Chen Qingmei can defeat.
Before that, Jiang Wenxiu and Dong Min must have trusted Father Dong wholeheartedly, before they even realized that he had become Chen Qingmei’s breakthrough.
Jiang Wenxiu and Dong Min had not guarded against Mr. Dong, thinking that he and them were standing in a trench, but they did not expect to be turned back by a cold gun behind the “comrades” in the trench.
This feeling of trusting a person wholeheartedly but being completely betrayed, probably no one except the person concerned can feel empathy.
“Grandpa, how did my mother and I treat you all these years? Is your heart long? You say your mother is the only daughter-in-law you recognize, but you have been secretly standing on the side of Xiaosan behind!” Dong Min felt that his feelings were deceived by his grandfather, and his eyes were disappointed and unbelievable except for tears.
“At the time when your legs and feet were inconvenient after the stroke, you started to have a bad temper and did not let the nurses get close. You think who is the one who wipes your body every day for tea and meals? Mom would rather give up several companies for foreign mergers and acquisitions Good opportunity, always with you, waiting in front of the saddle, occasionally tolerating your bad temper. Has your mother ever complained?”
“Speaking that I am your only granddaughter, but is it practical? Grandpa, this is the last time I call you grandpa. Since then, I don’t have grandpa in Dong Min.” Although Dong Min is arrogant, but at critical moments, he also has Mother Jiang Wenxiu’s style, her tone was strong and refused, “I will change my mother’s surname, from now on, there is no Dong Min, only Jiang Min.” She laughed self-deprecatingly, “You don’t care about Dong anyway. Is there a girl in my family, after all, you Dong family, there is already a future.”
“And you, you lawyers who endorse this kind of Primary Three, don’t you have a conscience?” Dong Min looked at Qian Heng Bao Rui and Cheng Yao, “I curse that you will all be cheated by someone after you are cheated, and you will never be happy forever! You have no morality for money! The law? The law is a joke! There is no fairness and justice at all. The law is just a shady cloth for you assholes! The Marriage Law does not protect marriage at all, but those children of the third year! ”
“Minmin, stop talking.”
Dong Min’s emotions were fierce, but Jiang Wenxiu’s expression was not calm, but her expression was still calm. She nodded slightly to Qian Heng and apologized before pulling Dong Min away.
She is very clear that the lawyer is just a profession, who does not represent the lawyer’s own personal position, so Jing Wei is very clear, until the end, did not have any anger towards Qian Heng and Cheng Yao.
“It’s my carelessness, miscalculation of human nature, and misjudgment of affection. But whenever I’m alert, I stop you from giving you the opportunity to contact my father-in-law or play emotional cards with my father-in-law. Perhaps this is not the result.”
“But no matter what, people should bear the consequences for their actions. This is my negligence, and I am willing to gamble to lose.” Jiang Wenxiu finished his eyes, “Min Min, this class is also your life Lesson here. Mom can’t protect you too much all the time, and you should grow up too.”
Even at this moment, she is still decent and generous, making Cheng Yao even more admired, sympathetic and indescribable shame.
The first-instance verdict proved the existence of the parent-child relationship. The child Chen Qingmei, as long as he was alive, could be divided into a rich legacy no matter how. Jiang Wenxiu and Dong Min could only hold on the inherited share even if they appealed I’m making a fuss about it.
Although this case is only the first trial, the overall situation is set.
But acting for a person like Chen Qingmei, even if she won, she seemed not to be happy at all, but she had no sense of accomplishment.
Is this the job of a lawyer? What is the significance of my job? Where is the value of a lawyer?
On the way back to the law firm, Cheng Yao felt a little unhappy. Qian Heng seemed to have been used to this kind of scene for a long time, but he was quite surprised. But after looking at Cheng Yao thoughtfully, Bao Rui was the most excited.
“In our case, using the paternity test and the chain of evidence to prove the parent-child relationship when the biological organization of the biological father is completely lost, I feel that I can get the classic case of the family case last year… In addition, this time the lawyer fees are quite generous, I’m going to change my car. What do you think is a good car? I want to buy an Audi, but people say that the owner of an Audi car is the easiest to derail. I think the color is not good. Should I buy a Volvo?”
…
——
Cheng Yao’s sorrowful emotion lasted till the end of get off work.
In the past two days, Qin Qin returned home, and Megatron gave her back. Now, when he returns home, he can’t even have a dog to pluck. When thinking of this place, Cheng Yao just feels even more lost…
It was Qian Heng, who very coldly declined Chen Qingmei’s dinner. Then an internal call called Cheng Yao into the office.
Cheng Yao was trembling, afraid that there was nothing he could do to be taught by Qian Heng.
As a result, he just sat down. Qian Heng opened the drawer and lost a large piece of chocolate. He opened his eyes, his tone unnatural: “Quickly eat.”
Cheng Yao:? ? ?
What happened to Qian Heng? Why did you suddenly eat chocolate?
“It’s about to expire, and it’s a waste not to eat.”
“…”
However, Cheng Yao quickly discovered the problem, and she turned to the outer packaging of the chocolate: “No, this is one year away from the expiration.”
Qian Heng’s expression was a little bit embarrassed and angry: “Don’t easily question the boss, has anyone told you? What the boss said is what.”
“Hey…” Cheng Yao said cautiously, “Because the boss you said before, as a lawyer, you can’t say what other people are. Nothing like language is evidence. It must be verified by yourself before you can believe…”
“Are you going to eat chocolate for you?”
“…”
Qian Heng cleared his throat: “I think you will be discouraged when you come back from the court, eat some chocolate, and adjust your mood. Otherwise, this negative energy emotion will be contagious, and all colleagues in the large office area will get it. One by one is downcast, is Jun Heng still opening?”
Cheng Yao grabbed the chocolate and was very touched. Although Qian Heng was poisonous, he actually observed the fluctuation of his emotions in subtlety, which was really quite unexpected. Although only a small piece of chocolate was on his hand, Cheng Yao felt that it was a friendship that was heavier than Mount Tai.
“You get this.”
The result was that when Cheng Yao was moved, Qian Heng handed over a small piece of paper.
Cheng Yao was very puzzled: “This is?”
“Chocolate invoice.”
Cheng Yao:? ? ?
“I will deduct it directly from your salary.”
Cheng Yao: wtF? ? ?
Qian Hengli said with confidence: “I personally bought chocolates for you, and I recommend that you keep this invoice and keep a memorial.”
Qian Heng, are you a devil? ! ! I have been so mournful, even the chocolate money should be my own? ! !
Although Cheng Yao’s heart was full of roars, she still cleverly obeyed Yang Fengyin’s words: “Thank you boss! Then I’m out!”
“Eat here.” Qian Heng insisted, his hands crossed in front of him, staring at Cheng Yao, “I still have something to say.”
Cheng Yao:? ? ?
“You have a lot of opinions on this case.”
“No…no…”
“Really do not have?”
Cheng Yao shook his head again and again: “Really not.”
“Then I will inform you that, given that this case was courted by Bao Rui, your contribution is relatively small, so your share is not counted.”
Cheng Yao exploded: “If I knew I didn’t share, I wouldn’t be willing to participate in this case! Acting for Primary Three, I didn’t promote any fairness and justice in the law! If I had the right to choose myself, I would starve to death as soon as I didn’t have a case. I won’t take this kind of case anymore! People must be alive when they are alive! There must be a bottom line!”
Qian Heng raised an eyebrow: “Look, you really have opinions.”
“…”
“The share will be for you.” Qian Heng pursed his lips, “Now let’s talk about your opinion about me.”
“…”
Qian Heng apparently dug the pit, and waited for Cheng Yaoyi to jump in without looking back. Now he looks at Cheng Yao with all his spare time, apparently preparing to fill the soil and bury it alive…
Now that the matter is over, it is meaningless to cover up. Cheng Yao simply let go: “Agent Chen Qingmei is fighting for justice and calling for the disadvantaged groups? Is it to promote truth, goodness and beauty?! Is it consistent with the core values of socialism? !”
“Cheng Yao, this is your biggest mistake.”
“Lawyers are a job, shouldn’t they ideally feel that they want to fight for justice? As long as they accept the agent of the client, they should fight for the client, instead of thinking about justice and injustice.” The head, “I know that when lawyers act as agents, they don’t have a predetermined position, and the profession of lawyers is not so ideal and bright. As long as they receive agents, they must be seriously responsible for the end, but you clearly have the right to choose clients. If she is a client, she will starve to death. Why should she accept Chen Qingmei? She didn’t have to be whitewashed when she was a Primary Three, not to mention that she didn’t love Dong Shan, and her extramarital affairs with Dong Shan were completely because she wanted to make money. …”
There are too many doubts in Cheng Yao’s mind. She doesn’t understand why Qian Heng wanted to pick up this kind of client: “What’s more, if you take the case of Chen Qingmei, it also has a great negative impact on her reputation, why should you do this? So many people say it is a cancer in the industry, you are clearly not!”
Qian Heng was stunned for the first time. This was the first time someone said this to himself.
Cheng Yao’s eyes were too bright, and Qian Heng subconsciously avoided his gaze: “You are fighting for justice.”
Cheng Yao thought he had misheard: “What?”
Qian Heng’s voice was low and sexy, and he repeated it word by word: “Every case you do, as long as you extract evidence within the legal scope to defend the client, you are fighting for justice.”
“The justice you understand is too narrow, and you only focus on case justice. But for the progress of law and the process of the legal system, procedural justice is more important than substantive justice. Because of substantive justice, sometimes you simply have no way of knowing, What is true, what is false, what is right, what is wrong, the lawyer is not a judge, the lawyer is not at the scene of each dispute, the lawyer is not responsible for determining the right and wrong, and given the imperfect development of the law, there are In many cases, when the algorithm officer makes a distinction between right and wrong, absolute justice will never be possible.”
Cheng Yao pursed his lips and stared at him.
Qian Heng just gave Cheng Yao a light glance: “Like the case of Dong Shan Heritage, today the result of the first trial is obviously not just for Jiang Wenxiu and Dong Min, but for the children in Chen Qingmei’s stomach Words are just. Although his mother is a minor three and is synonymous with immorality, he cannot choose his birth. Although the third party is not eligible for inheritance, he also has a legitimate right to inherit as a child born out of wedlock. . He is innocent. As a person, he should not be deprived of his legitimate rights and interests because of the stains of his background.”
Cheng Yao was silent, she was too jealous, but calm down, Qian Heng was right. There are all kinds of disputes in this world, each of which has complicated and changeable facts, there is no absolute justice that can be achieved.
“What is procedural justice is justice that is more visible than substantive justice. It is the justice of the refereeing process and the justice of legal procedures.”
Speaking of procedural justice, Cheng Yao is not without doubt: “However, over-emphasis on procedural justice will lead to trials like the Simpson murder case in the United States. Because of procedural justice, so many bad people escaped the sanctions of the law.”
“While emphasizing procedural justice sometimes allows some guilty people to escape sanctions, more often it protects more innocent people from being wrongly convicted. Because of procedural justice, there will be no more cases of Nie Shubin.” Qian Heng’s eyes are deep and his tone is calm, “And every case you are doing is guarding justice in the process and also guarding justice in the legal sense, and it is making the country’s legal system a little better. Every law-abiding lawyer can only do a little, but it is a force that is the normal operation of this society and the law.”
Is my work so great?
Cheng Yao didn’t say anything, but Qian Heng seemed to see through her mind at first glance: “The lawyer’s job is to support the family, to make money, to make a better life. To put it plainly, it’s really not so noble.”
“But if you work conscientiously in this position, maintain the dignity of the law, and adhere to the belief of procedural justice, then in the future, there will be one innocent person who suffers the wrong legal accountability and is mistaken for public opinion. ‘Bad people’, there will be one less’Nie Shubin’ who is unable to argue and lose his life in the future. Cheng Yao protects others and protects himself, because each of us lives in the current legal system.”
Cheng Yao lowered her head, and the emotion she had just agitated gradually calmed down.
Qian Heng took a sip of tea: “You are still too young.”
Cheng Yao suddenly found himself unable to refute. Her heart is a huge shock and complex emotions, maybe every job is very small and ordinary, but it is precisely because so many ordinary people stick to their ordinary positions, society can operate and progress.
“I know why the outside world scolds me for cancer, because since I don’t lack money, I can obviously choose rich “good people” as clients, but I will defend the “bad people.” Qian Heng paused, “But this is not the case. Does the lawyer mean?”
“Even if you become a bad guy, you have to investigate whether there are comprehensible and sympathetic factors for him to do bad things, such as hacking the wife of a husband under the last suppression of domestic violence, such as legitimate defense, even surrendering, and subjective viciousness. Wait; even bad guys, murderers who have no excuses and sympathetic reasons, also have the right to be punished legally. The law will punish these bad guys, but in the process of refereeing, Nor can he torture a confession by torture, nor can he torture or punish him when he is punished, but also let him know clearly why he was subjected to such sanctions, so that he may learn from his lessons and change himself.”
Qian Heng took a deep look at Cheng Yao: “The protection of the law has always been the basic rights and dignity of everyone, even if it is a bad person.”
When Qian Heng said these words, his eyes were clear, and it was rare that those cold eyes had a temperature. The deepest part of the pupil was as if there was a small swaying fire light, coupled with his lethal face, Cheng Yao only felt that it was a little difficult to look directly at the moment.
The handsome man is serious and really charming.
“Cheng Yao, lawyers protect good people and bad people, because the biggest meaning of the law is fairness.”
An unfamiliar emotion swelled in Cheng Yao’s heart, fiery, hot, and eager to try, like holding a newborn chick in his arms, and was experimenting and brewing his first wingspan flight.
It was as if someone had set her hands firmly away from her with the thick fog that had been lingering on her chest, sweeping away her confusion and hesitation with force, and she could finally see the sun again.
Yes, this is the meaning of being a lawyer, the interests of clients and procedural justice. This is the foundation of social justice, and its significance far exceeds narrow case justice.
“If society can function normally with good morality, the law will not appear. But morality is too subjective, your morality may be immoral in the eyes of some people, then social governance will never be There is a unified standard, and everyone clamors that their own morals are the norms. The result?”
Qian Heng blinked: “As a result, this society will only get worse because of these ethics, and it will become a mess. People don’t know exactly what can be done and what is in line with the “morality”, and those who pride themselves on morality People in the Highlands can use their own morals as a benchmark to suppress and punish aliens.”
“Today, I killed someone, but because the other party is a childless sexual assault, that is morally, I am completely right, then my murder should be legal. But you have not thought about it, if everyone In this way, all people are directly punished with morality. Those who have been beaten into bad people have no legal process to verify whether he is a bad person? As long as we are sentenced to death morally, should he die? No rights? But is he really a bad person?”
He looked at Cheng Yao: “Do you want to live in such a society?”
“You are a lawyer. What you defend is not fairness and justice in narrow cases, but the dignity of the law and the justice of procedures.”
“Since lawyers acting for’bad guys’ and’immoral people’ have no problems in professional ethics, why should we reject the large-scale cases? We represent these people and do not allow us to be morally flawed.” Qian Heng looked at Cheng Yao, “That is to say, our work has not only maintained the dignity of the law, but also used our professional skills to win a better life for ourselves. The money that can be earned legally, so why not make it? Is it too much money?”
Cheng Yao gently looked up at Qian Heng, and the other party was still the cold look that the stranger was not allowed to enter. The speech just now seemed like a unilateral discourse, but Cheng Yao felt that –
It’s really good to be a lawyer.
It’s great to be Qian Heng’s assistant lawyer.
“Boss, one day, when I become a well-known lawyer, I will pay you today’s consultation fee according to the number of hours!”
Qian Heng raised his eyes: “Don’t think too much, eat chocolate first.”
Cheng Yao found out that she didn’t even think of eating chocolate just now. The piece of chocolate that was held in her hand was softened by the heat in her palm. She moved the packaging and took a bite.
Yuck Yuck!
When the taste melted in his mouth, Cheng Yao almost spit out.
Her voice changed: “Coriander-flavored?????Coriander-flavored chocolate??”
What is the devil’s taste? ? ? ?
“Imported from Japan, Morinaga “BAKe” coriander-flavored chocolate, I heard that it is also limited edition. “Qian Heng finally had some expression on his face, showing a little concern. “I have always been curious about this taste, and I don’t want to try it for the first time. Just let you try it. How? Does it taste dark? How exciting is it? Will you die after eating? ”
“…”
Cheng Yao really wanted to find a “poisonous in shit” expression on Qian Heng’s face.
Go to yours! Will you give me this toxic stuff? !
Qian Heng obviously didn’t feel Cheng Yao’s killing intention. He touched his chin thoughtfully: “I’m actually curious about a snack too. For that old dry mother ice cream, I’ll try it for you next time. .”
“…”
Cheng Yao thought angrily that when I became a well-known lawyer, I think I should send you to prison to reform and reform! This is really poisonous!
Qian Heng, will you die if you let me move? !
