Her eyes followed the tall figure until he turned the corner and disappeared at the end of the corridor. Jian Yunxi blinked and suddenly understood - it turned out that the capable and dashing sister Tao Xi could also have such a girlish look.
"Are you... familiar with each other?" Jian Yunxi asked in a low voice.
"I know him, but he doesn't know me."
Tao Xi sighed, took out a mint from his pocket, and handed one to Jian Yunxi: "Let's go, go back to work."
Jian Yunxi recalled the man just now. There was nothing special about him. Why did he make Tao Xi so scared?
The afternoon's trial was about a private loan dispute. The plaintiff was an old lady in her sixties and the defendant was her nephew.
During the trial, the old lady was very emotional and slammed the table several times, cursing: "You ungrateful bastard! I lent you money to buy a house, and now you don't even pay back the interest!"
The defendant looked impatient: "There's no interest mentioned on the IOU, why should I pay more?"
The presiding judge banged the gavel and said, "Silence! Plaintiff, please provide evidence of the interest agreement."
The old lady was stunned: "At that time...it was spoken orally at that time!"
Jian Yunxi looked down at the case file and suddenly noticed a line of small words on the back of the IOU: "Annual interest rate 8%". She hesitated for a moment, but raised her hand and whispered: "Judge, there is a handwritten interest agreement on the back of the IOU..."
The whole audience's attention was instantly focused.
The presiding judge took the IOU, looked at it carefully, and nodded, saying, "There is indeed an agreement. Defendant, do you have anything else to say?"
The defendant's face turned pale and he finally had to admit his mistake.
After the court was adjourned, Judge Chen patted Jian Yunxi on the shoulder and said, "You have a good eye and you have a bright future!"
When I got home in the evening, my grandparents had already prepared a sumptuous dinner.
"Xixi, how are you today?" Grandpa asked with a smile.
"Very good!" Jian Yunxi ate his meal with bright eyes, "I even helped the judge find the key evidence!"
Grandma picked up a piece of braised pork for her and said, "Eat slowly and don't choke. My Xixi is really good."
Grandpa was also very happy: "Work hard and don't embarrass me!"
Jian Yunxi called Lu Yang in the evening to share interesting things about her first day of internship: "I thought the court was dull and boring, but I didn't expect it to be completely different."
"That's because you are sunny, so you only see the good side. Yunxi, the reason is you, because you are so good!"
"You're better at praising people than Judge Chen!"
"Is Judge Chen a man or a woman?"
"Female, female, probably in her forties!"
Lu Yang took an exaggerated breath: "Fortunately, otherwise, after hearing you mention her so many times, I would have thought I had fallen out of favor."
"You're annoying!"
The interesting things about the court internship continue.
