All-rounder...
Still so handsome...
Xiaobao instantly turned into a little fanboy, full of admiration for the lawyer in front of him.
"Hello, Lawyer Gu," Lu Zixiao stood up and shook hands with Gu Yize in a friendly manner. "I wonder if you still remember us. We've met before."
"Of course, you are Lu Zixiao, right?" Gu Yize said with a smile, "When your parents asked me to defend you a few years ago, you were still in junior high school. Now you are so handsome."
Lu Zixiao smiled politely: "You look better too."
"Thank you for the compliment," Gu Yize laughed. "Don't be so reserved when communicating with me, and don't be so polite. It makes me uncomfortable, as if I'm too old to listen to you."
"Can you try to treat me as your peer? After all, I don't look old, right? I'm in the prime of my life."
"Indeed, you are getting younger and younger as you age," Lin Ze said. "My cousin said he has experienced this very well."
"Really?" Gu Yize raised his eyebrows. "Did Ah Xing tell you anything else? About me..."
"Don't ask, if you ask, he always praises you." Lin Ze shrugged. "Besides, he hasn't been to our house for a long time, and we don't talk much."
"Then why doesn't he come?" Gu Yize asked.
"You two are together every day and you ask me?" Lin Ze was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"That's right," Gu Yize said, "Then I'll go back and ask him."
Lu Zixiao was confused as he listened. He always felt that there was something behind the words between the two people, but he didn't know what was wrong.
When Gu Yize was talking, he always felt that there was a pair of extremely bright eyes surrounding him, so he turned his head to look across the table and finally met Xiaobao's big watery eyes.
"Hello, little friend," Gu Yize's tone suddenly became gentle, "You are just as cute as my sister. What's your name?"
"My name is Lu Yuchen," the little guy answered softly, "My brothers all call me Xiaobao."
Gu Yize was stunned for a moment, staring at Xiaobao's fair and tender face for a long time before slowly asking, "When did you find it?"
"In July," Lu Zixiao said softly, "Xiaobao escaped back by himself."
Gu Yize's eyes widened when he heard this: "So powerful?!"
"Well, Xiaobao is very brave and smart," Lu Zixiao said. "He escaped to the police station, and the traffickers were caught on the spot. It was a close call."
"I didn't expect that, kid." Gu Yize looked at Xiaobao in surprise, "Under such a well-behaved appearance, there is actually a fearless heart."
"Not really," Xiaobao smiled, his face slightly red. "I just wanted to go home so badly at that time that I didn't care about anything else. I could only run with my head down, not daring to stop."
When Lu Zixiao heard him talk about this, his heart still felt as if it was being pinched by a pair of big hands, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists under the table.
"No matter what, it's good to be home." A trace of heartache appeared on Gu Yize's face. "You suffered a lot during your time outside, didn't you?"
"Well, I feel a little uncomfortable and I miss home."
Xiao Bao lowered his eyes and whispered, then quickly cheered up and looked up at him: "But fortunately, it's all in the past. I have my own family now, and brothers who love me. I feel very happy."
Gu Yize couldn't help but be moved. Looking at his satisfied little face at this moment, it was as if he saw Sisi who had just returned home more than ten years ago.
Perhaps it is because there are little ones like this in the family that these people can understand what it means to be a brother.
Gu Yize reached across the table and gently touched the top of Xiaobao's head, but his eyes turned to Lu Zixiao, "I'm sorry, your parents asked me for help back then, and I asked my eldest brother and others to help keep an eye on it, but there was no result, and in the end I couldn't help you."
"How can you say I didn't help? Weren't you the one who provided my parents with all the clues back then?" Lu Zixiao sighed, "I can only say it was fate that played tricks on me."
This topic immediately resonated with the two brothers, and the atmosphere became heavy for a moment.
"You two should calm down quickly and don't make Xiaobao so sad," Lin Ze advised. "Let the past be in the past. The child has moved on, so you shouldn't stop and keep looking back."
"Well, you're right," Gu Yize breathed a sigh of relief. "Zixiao, just spoil him. Xiaobao looks just as well-behaved and obedient as my sister used to be. He's nothing like my naughty brothers."
"From what you said..." Lin Ze joked, "What? Is your sister not behaving well now?"
Gu Yize sighed with emotion: "The little girl has grown up. She has reached the peak of puberty and rebelliousness. It's hard to control her now. Our whole family is almost obsessed with her."
Even though he said that, the three people present could hear the doting in his tone, and it was obvious that he was also a crazy doting sister-loving man.
"Okay, enough small talk, let's get down to business."
Gu Yize clapped his hands and quickly changed the subject. "I've roughly understood Li Mingyang's situation. His main goal is to get his parents to divorce as soon as possible. This isn't difficult, but there are some issues at the moment."
"Li Mingyang is too young. According to the new regulations, I can't have him as my direct client. After all, lawyers have to sign a power of attorney contract when they accept a job, and Li Mingyang can't sign this himself, so I need to find other relatives of his or an intermediary he trusts."
"Brother Yangyang's other relatives...seem to be only Grandpa Li and Grandma Li," Xiaobao murmured with a worried look on his face, "but they don't know about this yet. What should I do?"
