's always better to be low-key. 。After sending Ane off, I returned to the Zhuo family's courtyard. It was eerily silent, with only the faint glow of night lamps illuminating the surrounding walls. 。I...Having been reminded by Xiao Xin, she realized that the house didn't look like it had been empty for over three years at all. There wasn't a speck of dust and no musty smell of neglect. 。Seeing this, I already had a bottom line in my heart. Besides Zhuo Yunan, no one else would come. At that time, when she went on a self-driving tour with her mother, she forgot to change the password of the door lock. At this moment, she calmly walked to the front door and changed the password with her hand. 。Then he told Xiaoxin,
"Get some rest early, you'll be busy tomorrow." 。She told Xiaoxin to go to sleep early, but she couldn't fall asleep herself. She held her computer and leaned against the headboard, reviewing the materials and checking for any important information she might have missed. She didn't stop until well into the late night. 。I'm also having trouble sleeping. It's been a long time since I was back, so seeing this place brings back a lot of memories. 。The furnishings in the house were just as they were many years ago. The curtains were still the ones Zhu YUAN had changed for her, because she didn't sleep well and would wake up around 5:30 am whenever there was a little light filtering in. So Zhu YUAN had gotten her curtains that blocked out light very well. 。He lived at her place for a very long time, even longer than his mother did, so the house was full of traces left by him. 。She shouldn't come back to live here just to save money on a hotel. 。I didn't fall asleep until well past three in the morning, and then I was woken up by the doorbell at 8 a.m. 。Xiao Xin opened the door, and it was Lin Zhixiao, who burst in full of energy. She carried a large bag of breakfast, familiarly going to the dining room to put it down. 。"Why was the front door password changed" she grumbled while busily tidying up.
She knew Shu Tinglan was coming back to stay yesterday, so she had hired a cleaning lady to tidy up and even bought new bedding for both of her bedrooms. 。I originally wanted to come over last night, but Fu Shenyi went crazy. She was exhausted and fell asleep headfirst. She only rushed over this morning. 。Shutinglan woke up groggy. Hearing her words, she realized that she had overthought things last night. Indeed, with Zhu Yu'an's current attitude towards her, there was no way he would help her clean the house. 。She told Lin Zhixuan the new password, then washed her face simply and sat at the table to eat breakfast. 。Xiaoxin is still a bit hesitant in front of Lin Zhi'ao. Mainly because Lin Zhi'ao is too stunningly beautiful, and her extroverted personality and strong aura make Xiaoxin feel uneasy. 。She secretly glanced at Lin Zhifan, then her face flushed involuntarily. Lin Zhifan sat opposite her, wearing an open-collar silk white shirt. The faint red mark below his collar evoked endless imagination. 。Xiao Xin always boasts that she is a fresh face, but after all, she just stepped out of the ivory tower. Recently, following Lawyer Shu, she has met elite figures who were once out of reach, which left her somewhat at a loss. However, these people, because of Lawyer Shu's relationship with her, are particularly kind to her, so much so that she always feels overwhelmed by their attention. 。Lin Zhihao found her amusing: "Tinglan, I remember when we graduated, there wasn't someone as innocent as Xiaoxin back then." 。Shu Tinglan glanced at her faintly: "That's you" 。Shu Tinglan was nowhere near as outgoing as Xiaoxin when she first graduated. At first, she had to gather all her courage just to speak to someone. 。Lin Zhixiao chuckled, “Indeed, you didn’t make a sound until you made a huge splash.” 。She was referring to Shu Tinglan's secret dealings with Zhuo Yu'an behind her back. 。Why do I keep thinking about the past Lin Zhixian immediately stopped the conversation and changed the subject. "You're on a business trip, so Mr. Yi can really take care of both kids" Although Lin Zhixian liked those two little rascals, when she thought about taking care of them, she felt scared. 。Mr. Yi is very capable, and the children especially listen to him. 。Xiao Xin finally found a topic she could talk about. 。"So, you're going to listen to him, Mr. Shu" she said sarcastically. 。。“Her lawyer Shu is very capable, she only has a soft side in front of these old friends.” 。Shu Tinglan stopped talking and focused on the photos of the children going to school that Yi Muyang had sent her on his phone. 。She and Yi Muyang would have a video call at a fixed time every day. They were both busy with work during the day and rarely contacted each other, but Yi Muyang would occasionally take some pictures for her, sometimes of children, and sometimes of him training at the club. 。Yi Muyang said: "We are kind of like a long-distance relationship now." 。"Shu Tinglan was filled with remorse: "After this case is over, I'll never take any out-of-town cases again." 。"Yi Muyang sent a "touching" emoji and then said: “It’s okay, experiencing the feeling of long-distance love isn't bad either.” 。"Shutinglan casually patted a breakfast on the table and showed it to him.
" 。"Such a sumptuous breakfast" "Lin Zhixuan bought ..." 。Eat more. 。" Good。She was too engrossed in her phone chat. Lin Zhihao knocked on the table and shouted: "Enough! It's early morning, stop showing off your love!" 。Then Shu Tinglan put away her phone. 。After breakfast, Lin Zhixuan first sent them to find Xu's mother and then to the court. 。Because today was a court hearing, it was relatively less tense. On Xu's side, besides Shu Tinglan and Xiaoxin, there was also Han, the director of the Law Association, who came. After detailed communication between both parties on the case, Judge Liu asked Shu Tinglan if he had any further thoughts
Shu Tinglan concisely stated his own requirements: first, hoping to review Xu Wei's case files from 18 years ago, and Wang Mou, the current suspect's case files. 。During her time in Senzhou, she couldn't access the case files from 18 years ago. All investigations and evidence collection were based solely on the statements and materials provided by Xu's mother and Xu Wei, which was very limited. Therefore, it is very necessary to thoroughly review the court files from that year; secondly, I hope that at the formal trial, Wang某 can appear as a key witness in this case. 。Judge Liu was cooperative this time, even going out of her way to accommodate her request. She immediately approved her request to review the relevant materials. 。
The formal trial will probably be in about a week, which gives Shu Tinglan ample time to prepare. 。After leaving the court, Director Han couldn't help but praise Shu Tinglan again. During the meeting just now, Director Han barely spoke. Shu Tinglan dominated the entire process. She didn't say a single unnecessary word, every sentence was to the point, and she managed the pace very well. Even the people from the court hardly interrupted her. 。Director Han kept saying, "The son surpasses the father. Xiao Shu, you have a bright future. Your Lawyer Sun can retire with peace of mind." 。Shu Tinglan humbly said: "This time being able to have a retrial, it's all thanks to Director Han for running around and making connections. Lawyer Sun told me to come to Senzhou to learn more from you." 。"Director Han is also not polite: "Xiao Shu, if you have time, come to my office for a sit. This case has a big influence. If you don't understand anything, feel free to come to me." 。Okay, thank you, Director Han. 。Shu Tinglan actually didn't interact much with Director Han and the others. Compared to Lawyer Sun's straightforwardness, Director Han was a master manipulator. She hadn't forgotten how, during the seminar, he used just a few words to pass this hot potato onto her. 。But everything has its pros and cons. After taking on this case, she also made significant progress and gradually came to understand the true meaning of her profession from Xu's mother's trust. 。ow is he supposed to live his life now”To cover the medical expenses, the family has already spent all their savings and borrowed every penny they could. But it's only a drop in the bucket, unable to...
