Chapter 67 Grievances
Chi Jinjin was relieved that they didn't see her, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.
"I'm so tired." said the person behind.
"You haven't had many cases lately, and they're simple. Why are you so tired?"
"You don't know how stupid the intern I'm teaching is. He doesn't even know the most basic things. I don't know how he was recruited." A woman complained.
Another man said, "Indeed, there are several interns recently. Among us, Xiao Wang should be the one with the easiest time."
"Why is Xiao Wang so relaxed?" a woman asked.
The man replied, "She's bringing in people from Fuhua. There are only two of them in our entire institute. You know, let's not talk about qualifications but academic qualifications, but these two are the newest to the top. In the future, they will be the backbone of our institute."
"It's not easy at all." Wang Qing sneered and said sarcastically, "So what if he's from Fuhua? The one I brought with me is stupid as hell. He can't accomplish anything, but is always causing trouble. He has no manners at all."
"That shouldn't be the case. Fuhua should be of good quality."
Wang Qing sneered and said, "Don't you know that academic qualifications don't equal character?"
Chi Jinjin listened to every word she said without missing a word. She had thought it was her illusion before, but she didn't expect that she really didn't like her, and in her eyes, she was so unbearable.
She wanted to get up and argue with her.
But she finally accepted the reality. She had just arrived at the institute and had no background or connections. Her words carried little weight, so even if she was extremely angry, she had no choice but to endure it.
Chi Jinjin lowered her head and stuffed pieces of meat into her mouth, using the chewing sounds to cover up Wang Qing's unpleasant voice.
After returning home, Chi Jinjin huddled in the corner of the sofa. She just couldn't understand why Wang Qing didn't like her.
The next day, Chi Jinjin felt depressed when she thought about meeting Wang Qing, but she calmed herself down and went to the station as if nothing had happened.
The biggest difference between adults and children is probably that adults have many masks, and they know which mask is more suitable to wear every day.
Today, Wang Qing took on a new case. A high school girl fell from the third floor and is now unconscious in the hospital. The girl’s family believed that the girl fell from the building because another girl pushed her down, so they sued her.
Now they are in charge of the defendants.
The defendant's girl was named Xiao Zheng. They had agreed to meet at nine o'clock, but she was an hour late. When she walked in front of them, she sat down casually without any courtesy, crossed her legs and chewed bubble gum.
Chi Jinjin looked at Xiao Zheng from the side. She had dyed her hair red, had green manicure, and had heavy makeup on her face.
"Go ahead." Wang Qing asked.
Xiao Zheng chewed bubble gum, shook his legs, and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Tell me the whole story of how you pushed your classmate. I need to know the details," said Wang Qing.
Xiao Zheng was speechless and said bluntly, "What do you mean by pushing? I didn't push that bitch. No matter how many times I have to say, that bitch fell down by herself!"
"Please be careful with your words," Wang Qing said coldly. "Do you think we don't know what you're up to at school? Your classmates have all reported that you've bullied her time and time again. Look at this."
Wang Qing threw a stack of documents in front of her and said, "These are all evidence against you. They're all the result of your past sins! I'm telling you, either you tell me the whole story of how you pushed that person down, or you can expect to be sentenced to life imprisonment or the death penalty. With all due respect, if you tell me, I can still try to get a maximum of ten years in prison."
"Ten years?" Xiao Zheng slammed the table and said, "I didn't push anyone, why should I be locked up for ten years?! Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
"Since you want to continue like this, then wait for the other party to sentence you to life imprisonment." Wang Qing's face turned ashen.
"Fuck your mother!" Xiao Zheng cursed.
The next second, Xiao Zheng's mother, who had been sitting next to him silently, slapped Xiao Zheng in the face.
She said angrily, "At this point, you still don't tell the truth. What do you want?"
Xiao Zheng covered her face, tears streaming down her face. She cried aggrievedly, "I'm telling the truth. What do you want me to say? I know I'm not a good student and I hate her, but I'm not so bad as to push her off the third floor. Mom, why don't you even believe me?"
"Look at you now. You don't study hard, and all you do is get into fights and cause trouble at school. How can I trust you? If you don't tell the truth, your dad and I will no longer care about you!"
Xiao Zheng stood up from the sofa and retorted, "You never cared about me in the first place. All your hearts are on your younger brother. Everything good in the house goes to him, never to me!"
As she said that, Xiao Zheng's mother slapped Xiao Zheng in the face again.
"My time is limited, so I advise you to explain clearly as soon as possible." Wang Qing said coldly.
Xiao Zheng's mother angrily scolded Xiao Zheng, "Hurry up and tell me!"
Xiao Zheng's tears kept falling and he sobbed violently.
"Yes! I pushed her! I wanted her dead. I saw her sitting by the window, so I pushed her. Are you satisfied with what I said? Yes, I am!"
Xiao Zheng said this hysterically, then wiped his tears and rushed out of the office.
Xiao Zheng's mother didn't chase after him. Instead, she slowly apologized to Wang Qing and said to him, "Lawyer Wang, it doesn't matter how many years she's sentenced to. She should bear the responsibility for her mistakes. The most important thing is to reduce the compensation to a minimum. Our family really doesn't have much money, and her brother will need to buy a house when he grows up."
"Don't worry, I will do my best to fulfill your demands." Wang Qing said.
Chi Jinjin, who had been watching for a long time, couldn't help but say, "Maybe what she said is true? Teacher, I think that as lawyers, we should first listen carefully to what our clients say. When we were in school, our teacher once told us that as lawyers, we have to believe our clients..."
"Who told you to talk? Is there a place for you to talk here?" Wang Qing immediately retorted Chi Jinjin, and then said to Xiao Zheng's mother, "I'm sorry, interns don't know the rules."
"It's okay, it's okay." Xiao Zheng's mother said with a smile.
After Xiao Zheng's mother left, Wang Qing bluntly accused Chi Jinjin, "Who told you to speak just now? Are you the teacher or am I the teacher? When you were in school, didn't your Fuhua teacher tell you not to interrupt the teacher? Didn't you not talk nonsense when the teacher is working on a case?"
"I, I just think that we should listen carefully to what Xiao Zheng says..." said Chi Jinjin.
"Don't I know her background? She needs an intern like you to teach her. Why don't you just stop being an intern and go directly to the institute to work? I'm not qualified to teach you." Wang Qing took the documents on the table and walked out, muttering, "What a joke! You think you're so great just because you graduated from Fuhua University? You really think you're a piece of cake."
Wang Qing spoke so loudly that almost everyone on the first floor knew that Chi Jinjin had been reprimanded.
When she walked out of the office, people around her started talking and looking at her.
Chi Jinjin could only pretend nothing happened, pretend to be unaware, and continue to do what she had to do.
She was a little worried about Xiao Zheng and didn't know how the child was doing.
But what Wang Qing said was not completely wrong. She was just an intern and really didn't have much say, so she couldn't speak carelessly.
But my heart felt like there was a stone pressing on it, and my whole body felt very heavy.
In the evening, Nan Xuqiu ordered some food and asked her to help taste it, and also ordered rice for her.
Chi Jinjin carefully analyzed the taste of the snacks that she was going to give him to try so that he could use them as a reference.
"Jinjin, are you unhappy today?"
Chi Jinjin was talking, but Nan Xuqiu suddenly asked.
Chi Jinjin thought about what happened during the day and replied, "No, I'm not unhappy about anything."
She tried to make her voice sound cheerful.
"Um."
Fortunately, Nan Xuqiu didn't seem to be suspicious.
After hanging up the phone, Chi Jinjin fell into silence. She had never felt so physically and mentally exhausted when she was in school.
Thinking about having to go to work tomorrow and seeing Wang Qing’s impatient expression.
She really wanted to throw up her hands and quit.
But thinking about how hard she had worked to find a job, the reality made it impossible for her to just walk away.
At this time, the phone rang again. Chi Jinjin picked it up and looked at it. It was Nan Xuqiu calling again.
Chi Jinjin answered the phone.
Nan Xuqiu said: "Jinjin, please come downstairs. I'll be waiting for you downstairs in your dormitory."
"I'm downstairs?" Chi Jinjin ran to the balcony and saw Nan Xuqiu's car. He was leaning against the car. He seemed to see her and waved to her.
It’s so late, what is Nan Xuqiu doing here?
Chi Jinjin was confused, but still came to him.
"Let's go for a walk?" Nan Xuqiu said.
Chi Jinjin thought that she had just eaten so much and did have some indigestion.
So he nodded.
Nan Xuqiu opened the passenger door and let her in.
Then he took her to a nearby park.
There are very few people in the park now, and it is almost quiet.
Street lights spread forward like little suns, illuminating the gloomy intersection.
Nan Xuqiu and Chi Jinjin walked slowly under the street lights.
"Why did you suddenly think of going out for a walk?" Chi Jinjin asked him curiously.
Nan Xuqiu stopped, and Chi Jinjin also stopped.
He turned to her and said, "Because I think you're unhappy, I brought you here to relax. If you keep unhappy emotions in your heart, you'll get sick."
"I, I'm not unhappy..." Chi Jinjin lowered her head, looked at her toes, and said stubbornly.
Nan Xuqiu touched her head and said softly, "Little girl, there's no one here now. If you want to cry, just cry. No one will see you, and no one will say you're not strong."
Chi Jinjin stopped talking, and finally couldn't help but let the tears as big as beans fall.
Don’t you feel wronged?
Of course she felt wronged, especially wronged.
She couldn't understand why Wang Qing just didn't like her, why she treated her like that, when she had clearly done her best to do everything she asked.
But she didn't dare to express these grievances easily.
She didn't cry when she was laughed at, and she didn't cry when she was scolded by Wang Qing. But Nan Xuqiu's gentle words instantly shattered her coconut-like shell, overturned the fortress in her heart, and left the crybaby nowhere to hide.
Chi Jinjin didn't dare to look up at him. She lowered her head and cried like rain. She tried hard to restrain herself, but she couldn't help it. The grievances came out with her tears.
Nan Xuqiu reached out and hugged Chi Jinjin in his arms, wrapping the crying and trembling Chi Jinjin with his warm coat.
He held up Chi Jinjin's face, wiped her pearly tears, and asked distressedly, "What happened to make our little girl so sad?"
Chi Jinjin didn't answer, but just shook her head, indicating that she didn't want to say it.
Nan Xuqiu didn't force her, but held her in his arms and hugged her tighter.
The two people embraced each other under the warm street lights, and they seemed to be glowing...
After crying for a while, Chi Jinjin's depressed mood felt much better.
She also thought it through. She didn't care whether Wang Qing liked her or not. She just had to do her job honestly. It would only be a few months anyway, and she wouldn't have to look at her face after a few months.
After sending Chi Jinjin back, Nan Xuqiu also returned to school.
He looked down at his arms and saw that his clothes were stained with Chi Jinjin's tears, including two eyes and one nose.
It looks quite cute.
Nan Xuqiu smiled.
But when he thought of how sad and aggrieved she looked today, the smile on Nan Xuqiu's face gradually disappeared.
So, why is it so sad?
A cold look appeared in Nan Xuqiu's eyes.
The next day, Chi Jinjin went to work as usual.
Wang Qing still had a bad face and ignored her. Chi Jinjin took out the book she had prepared in advance and started reading it.
After get off work, Chi Jinjin no longer waited for her to call her. After she got off work, Chi Jinjin left with them.
In the elevator, Wang Qing glanced at Chi Jinjin with disgust in his eyes.
When the elevator arrived, Chi Jinjin still took the initiative to let them go out first.
After arriving at the door.
A Mercedes drove up.
Others excitedly asked, "Sister Wang, that's your boyfriend's car, right?"
Wang Qing tucked the hair behind his ears and said proudly, "Yes."
"Wow, I'm so envious of Sister Wang," the other female teachers said. "If we talk about the happiest person in our institute, it's probably Sister Wang. She's excellent, her boyfriend is a rich second-generation rich kid, and most importantly, she still loves our Sister Wang very much."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'm leaving. Bye." Wang Qing stepped on her high heels and got into her boyfriend's car arrogantly.
After Wang Qing left, Chi Jinjin also planned to take the bus.
But suddenly a bicycle bell rang from behind.
Chi Jinjin moved aside, the bell was still ringing.
Chi Jinjin looked back and saw that it was Nan Xuqiu riding a bicycle.
"Why are you here?" Chi Jinjin asked in surprise.
Nan Xuqiu stopped in front of her and said, "I'm here to pick you up from get off work. Want to get in the car?"
Chi Jinjin smiled and got into Nan Xuqiu's car.
Nan Xuqiu carried Chi Jinjin away slowly.
Some girls behind them couldn't help but gossip, "There's such a big difference between people. The comparison is really shabby. But that intern's boyfriend is so handsome."
