62 The Lights Reset | You're a Minglian
Lin Weifeng bit her lip and chuckled: [Officer Jiang, the dignified sharpshooter, is also having a secret crush? ]
Jiang Yu replied immediately, his tone carrying a pitiful yet self-righteous tone: [Lawyer Ke Lin, you are in a relationship with someone you know.]
“…”
Lin Weifeng was choked and the tips of his ears suddenly felt hot.
Is this called feeling unworthy?
This worry is unnecessary...
However, I hope I am just worrying too much.
She quickly typed the following line: [So, Ms. Hate Sky High has returned to her evil form, and her true identity is actually Yue Lao.]
The other side immediately sent a string of cartoon expressions of bowing and thanking.
Lin Weifeng chuckled, the light from the screen reflected in his eyes.
Put down your phone and continue eating.
Xing Zhou placed his chopsticks on the edge of the bowl and raised his hand. "I declare that my feeling of unworthiness is purely a habit of thought and has nothing to do with Zhou Rui. Don't label me a needy man."
Lin Weifeng glanced at him sideways, lowered his head to look at the food, and was too lazy to say anything.
As the aroma lingered, she suddenly remembered something and looked up. "Once the legal proceedings begin, Zhou Rui will likely be hired by Jin He as a translation partner. Would that embarrass you?"
"I won't." Xing Zhou answered simply, "Rejecting someone doesn't mean I'm being unfair to her, but I mean I'm being worthy of her."
Lin Weifeng thought this made sense and nodded.
Xing Zhou: "But she deleted my WeChat without leaving a single message."
"……oh."
"I just don't need to pick her up." He smiled childishly.
After working non-stop for an entire afternoon, the printer started to smoke and went on strike during the New Year.
Fortunately, the chain of evidence has been roughly sorted out and will not affect the notarization and certification procedures. Sheng Xin sent the updated materials to the liaison personnel in Nandun.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and Sheng Xin asked Lin Weifeng to take a short break from the case and go back to spend time with his parents.
Lin Weifeng stopped working.
However, she did not rush home immediately, but went to the detention center.
She wanted to visit Axun before the New Year.
In this world, it is difficult for kindness between strangers to be conveyed unconditionally.
Since Ah Xun had secretly protected her once, she also wanted to see if she could help him legally.
Crime continues to occur in this world.
If every criminal organization could have an Ah Xun, perhaps their collapse would become more promising.
In the meeting room, the light was cold white.
Ah Xun was wearing specific grey clothes, and it was obvious to the naked eye that he was in good condition and did not harbor any deep hatred or grudge.
Even through the thick glass, Lin Weifeng could still see the smile on his lips.
Lin Weifeng picked up the phone and said softly, "Do you need legal assistance?"
“I’ve already applied.”
"What does your family do? Can I bail you out?"
Ah Xun smiled helplessly but without complaint: "I don't have a home."
Lin Weifeng opened his mouth and nodded.
"How did you get on this path?" she asked.
Ah Xun lowered his eyes and recalled.
"The first time I saw Miao Zheng was at the border," Ah Xun said slowly. "He was in his prime, with no mercy in his eyes. He just wanted to get on with his journey. I thought he was a ruthless man."
He smiled, his fangs sharp in the cold light. "I was short of money for my mother's medical treatment. He said I grew up in the border area, so I had the environment and geographical advantages. If I did him a favor, he would give me all the money. I was so short of money, so the deal was done with just one sentence."
Ah Xun smiled and said, "It's that simple."
He shrugged, and his blue coat wrinkled with the movement, like a folded piece of the past.
Lin Weifeng asked in a low voice: "Then, is your mother's illness cured?"
"No, she died before she got the money."
"Feel sorry."
"fine."
"Didn't he give you the money?"
"No, it was my mother who left in such a hurry. He actually gave me the money."
"So you've been following him." Lin Weifeng said calmly.
"I had nowhere else to go, and he was trustworthy and gave me money, so I went with him." He raised his eyes, his gaze frank. "Besides, he didn't ask me to kill anyone, he just asked me to dig something up. To be honest, I didn't know it was a cultural relic at first."
Lin Weifeng nodded slightly to show his understanding.
Ah Xun tapped his fingertips twice on the table. "Everything is determined by fate. We have no control over it."
He continued in a low voice: "There's no certainty or uncertainty about the path of the lower class. It's where you end up."
"Actually, I came here today to thank you." She gripped the phone tighter. "After all, you helped me that day."
Ah Xun's smile slowly faded, and his voice dropped. "I'm not just being nice to you. I'm polite to everyone who's been captured. Swearing and using force on others isn't honorable."
"But aren't you loyal to him?"
His face was reflected in the glass, young but with old scars. "Loyalty is conditional."
"What's the meaning."
"I don't want to kill anyone, but he's starting to enjoy playing with people's lives."
At this point, he suddenly grinned, as if telling a belated joke: "Now it's good, I'm finally in. I don't have to commit any more crimes, all I have to do is make meritorious deeds."
The meeting room fell into a brief silence, with only the rustling sound of electricity in the receiver.
Lin Weifeng held the microphone, his fingertips turning slightly white.
Good guys and bad guys can never be clearly distinguished.
Human nature is too complicated.
She took a deep breath and whispered, "Happy New Year, Axun. Stay in there and have a good time."
"I will." Ah Xun nodded, and for the first time, a light appeared in his eyes. "This time, I want to walk the rest of the way like a human being."
Seeing that Ah Xun was in good condition and walked out of the detention center, Lin Weifeng couldn't help but smile.
Before New Year’s Eve, people started sending Happy New Year greetings to my phone.
Meng Lu, not knowing if she had miscalculated the date while abroad, joined in the fun: "Happy New Year."
Lin Weifeng replied ruthlessly: [Not yet.]
Meng Lu sent a string of festive emojis: [With such good news, why not celebrate the New Year in advance? ]
Lin Weifeng raised an eyebrow: [You know this too? ]
Meng Lu said: [I still need to follow up on the report.]
Lin Weifeng pretended to be arrogant: [I'll tell you when I have news.]
Meng Lu: [Demolish the bridge after crossing it.]
After a series of emoji battles, Lin Weifeng exited the dialog box.
She discovered that Wenling had also sent a blessing not long ago: [I was a little offended yesterday, I'm sorry, but I really want to be the first to wish you a happy new year.]
Lin Weifeng replied generously: "The bracelet is very beautiful, thank you. I also wish you a happy new year."
Wenling said: [Let’s talk after the New Year.]
Lin Weifeng: [Okay.]
Before driving home, Lin Weifeng inexplicably opened the dialog box with Jiang Yu again.
It seems that just by looking at his profile picture, my heart can be instantly at peace.
With a light slide of her fingertips, she subconsciously entered his circle of friends and unexpectedly discovered that Jiang Yu had changed the background photo.
It became their wedding photo.
In the photo, he lowered his head slightly to help her straighten her veil; she smiled with her eyes curved like soft river water.
Lin Weifeng quietly left a like.
When passing by a flower shop, Lin Weifeng wanted to buy a bunch of hyacinths, but the New Year was approaching and the store only had red flowers left.
So I turned into the stationery store next door, picked out lavender card paper and gold liner pen, and prepared to DIY it myself.
When they returned home, Gu Chengxiu and Lin Haidong were planning on bringing the first-time gift to Jiang Yu's house tomorrow, and were walking around the house.
Lin Weifeng said, "Why such a big fuss?"
Gu Chengxiu said: "Don't let your future son-in-law suffer."
Lin Weifeng sat on the sofa and sorted out the things he was going to take with him on the coffee table.
Lin Haidong happened to pass by, and she asked softly, "Dad, do you really have no objection?"
Lin Haidong paused, as if he was gently struck by this question.
Thinking back on what he had said and done, he smiled and sighed.
So he put the things in his hand on the corner of the coffee table, lowered his head to pat the non-existent dust on his palms, and sat down next to her.
"Perhaps, no matter who my daughter finds, I will have opinions, but they are different." He rubbed his eyebrows and said in a tone that seemed to be reconciling with himself, "I can't always be so strict that I can't let you get married or grow up."
Lin Weifeng blinked calmly: "Dad, weren't you worried about him before?"
"I was worried. I'm still worried now."
"Then how come it becomes so refreshing?"
Lin Haidong turned his head, the light creating fine lines at the corners of his eyes. "Because you like it."
Lin Weifeng swallowed, lowered his eyelashes, and his throat seemed to be gently blocked by something.
Lin Haidong reached out and rubbed the top of her head: "I didn't tell you that your Uncle Wen always invites our two families to dinner and outings, trying to match you and Wenling in various ways."
"You didn't agree?"
"I was afraid you'd be unhappy," he said with a wry smile. "I've turned 'I agree' over and over again in my head, but my throat feels like it's been sewn shut, and I can't utter a single word."
Lin Weifeng smiled.
Lin Haidong said, "I know Dr. Wen well. He's excellent, reliable, and flawless. If you like him, then everyone will be happy. After all, wasn't it for this moment that I signed you up for Gongda's blind date?"
"He's a good guy," Lin Weifeng admitted. "Maybe he's too busy and ended up on the blind date market. Although I haven't really spoken to him much, I think he's a very suitable husband."
Lin Haidong: "Not suitable for you?"
Lin Weifeng chuckled and shook his head.
Lin Haidong said, "To be honest, my dear, I left him at home last time on purpose, waiting for you to come back. I wanted you to take a look at him, and to hand over this 'right to choose a spouse' to you."
"Dad, you know my temper," Lin Weifeng raised his eyes, his eyes bright, "I never choose, I just accept."
"I know." Lin Haidong nodded, "But from a parent's perspective, they have to pave every path before they let you go."
Lin Weifeng understood and nodded.
"So what about now?" she asked. "You seem so busy and happy, why are you so determined to stand on Jiang Yu's side?"
Lin Haidong tapped his broken shoulder with his knuckles and said earnestly, "Why else could it be that Xiao Jiang brought you back intact?"
He was talking about after Operation Fanhua.
Lin Haidong sighed, raised his eyes, and added earnestly, "What I brought back is not only you, but also the light in your eyes."
He paused, as if recalling some scenes.
She continued, "When I came back yesterday, your mother told me that she recently changed the curtains and the color of the tulips on the table. In the past, your daughter would have been so happy, dancing with joy, saying this is beautiful and that is beautiful. Unfortunately, lately, no matter what new things she changes, you don't react."
"Doesn't this explain it all? The one who can bring the light back into your eyes is Xiao Jiang."
Lin Weifeng was stunned.
She didn't notice at all.
It turned out that these days, her mother had been trying different ways to make her happy, using colors and the scent of flowers to make her happy.
She herself was so overwhelmed by the panic of not receiving any news from Jiang Yu that she couldn't see anything.
She turned her head to look at Gu Chengxiu who was busying around.
Suddenly, my eyes became hot.
All the tenderness she had missed now rushed to her nose, making it so sour that she could only lower her head and let the tears fall quietly.
Lin Haidong finally said:
"Life is short, and I don't want to be conservative anymore.
Since you like him, we as parents will treat him well.
Be nice to him from today on.
Instead of worrying about the risks taking him away from now on.
The higher the risk, the better we should treat him, starting today.
That’s the right thing to do.”
