Chapter 037 The Thirty-Seventh Melon
"Master Gu, you are so mean. I only knew about this big news after seeing other people reporting it."
Wang Mingqiang muttered to himself, and did not forget to hand the packed egg tarts to Gu Xicao.
Gu Xicao smelled the fragrance and smiled: "Thank you for buying egg tarts for me again. Thank you. But I didn't expect the reporters to report this so quickly."
It's a lie.
After all, this kind of thing is Teacher He’s privacy. How could Gu Xicao tell Wang Mingqiang casually?
However, Hong Kong reporters are really well-informed. The people arrested last night were all reported in various newspapers this morning.
Could it be that these reporters have made their home in the police station? !
"Humph, I don't believe you." Wang Mingqiang was not too angry. He shook his head and said with a smile: "Anyway, next time if you have any news that is convenient to disclose, you must think of me more. I will definitely repay you."
"Don't worry." Gu Xicao ate the egg tart, said perfunctorily, and sent the man away.
Today, Gu Xicao's business is still booming.
At around four or five in the afternoon, she was planning to close her stall. Just as she had packed up her things, she saw He Yiquan and Lin Yuan approaching.
"Teacher He?"
Gu Xicao was a little surprised and stood up to greet him.
He Yiquan led Lin Yuan over. Lin Yuan trotted to Gu Xicao's side and grabbed Gu Xicao's arm: "Sister, the teacher is here to pay back the money for fortune-telling."
"Fortune telling?" Gu Xicao was stunned for a moment, then she understood. She suddenly realized and said with a smile, "Teacher, why are you so polite? I can't accept this money. You keep it."
She's not that short of money yet.
He Yiquan shook his head, took out his wallet from his pocket, counted out 188 and handed it to Gu Xicao: "Miss Gu, I must give you this money. Thanks to your help yesterday, my daughter didn't get into trouble. I was so anxious yesterday that I couldn't remember it. Otherwise, I should have given you this money yesterday. Please accept it."
Seeing He Yiquan's insistence, Gu Xicao accepted it and asked, "Teacher He, how is the situation over there? What do the police say?"
When talking about this, He Yiquan's face showed a bit of dejection.
She forced a smile: "Nothing, everything is going well."
"The teacher is lying." Lin Yuan interrupted He Yiquan with full energy. He turned his head and said to Gu Xicao with his schoolbag on his back, "Sister, the teacher was crying in the office this afternoon. I heard from the math teacher that it was because the lawyer they hired said that they might not be able to win the lawsuit against Teacher He's husband, and even that bad mother-in-law might be released!"
"How could this be possible?" Wang Laoshi was eavesdropping on the side. Hearing this, he was furious: "Are the laws in Hong Kong made of paper? A beast like this who poisoned his own granddaughter would be shot in our mainland!"
He Yiquan's eyes were sore and he clenched his fists. "I hope so, but the police also said that if Sun Chuanzong wrote a letter of apology to Yang Fengxia, Yang Fengxia would most likely be given a light sentence and might not even have to go to jail."
When Gu Xicao heard this, he immediately became furious.
Who wrote this legal text?
Relatives intentionally murdered each other, and there was actually a letter of forgiveness to get a lighter sentence? !
"Teacher He, please don't cry first." Gu Xicao comforted He Yiquan and said, "There will always be a way out."
Wang Laoshi felt sorry for him and said, "Yes, your family's situation is complicated, but if you hire a good lawyer, you may be able to put that beast in jail."
"But we don't know any good lawyers in our family."
He Yiquan smiled bitterly.
She is just an elementary school teacher and her family is just well-off. It is not easy for her to find a good lawyer.
Gu Xicao was stunned for a moment. She took out Gu Yue'e's business card from her pocket and said, "Maybe I have a solution."
"15th floor or 16th floor?"
Gu Xicao looked at the buttons in the elevator and couldn't help but feel a headache.
If I had known my memory was so bad, I should have written down the floor yesterday. Now I think the buttons in this kind of high-end office building would be marked with the companies on the floor, but who would have thought that there was nothing there.
Now, there is no phone and I can’t contact Gu Yue’e. It’s really a big problem.
Forget it, I'd better ask the system.
"Miss, where are you going?" A lady next to Gu Xicao saw her hesitating for a long time, so she asked with a smile.
Gu Xicao looked back and was stunned for a moment when he saw the woman. The woman was not very beautiful, about forty years old, but her temperament was very gentle and gentle. One could tell at a glance that she was definitely a well-read woman.
Next to her was a little girl of about seven or eight years old. The little girl was wearing a princess dress and was very well-behaved.
"I want to go to COD Law Firm. Which floor is it on?" Gu Xicao asked.
When the woman heard this place, her expression was slightly stunned, but the girl said, "COD Law Firm, isn't that where dad works? It's on the 17th floor, pretty sister."
"Really, thank you, little sister!"
Gu Xicao was overjoyed and quickly pressed the button.
She was about to talk to the mother and daughter when the elevator door opened. The woman nodded at Gu Xicao and said gently, "Sorry, we have to go out now. Xiaodie, say goodbye to your sister."
"Goodbye, sister." Xiaodie waved, holding the woman's hand and skipping out of the elevator.
Gu Xicao smiled and waved at them, and only breathed a sigh of relief after the elevator door closed.
I am so lucky to meet such a kind mother and daughter.
"Master Gu." Gu Yue'e had been waiting in the law firm for a long time. When she heard that Gu Xicao had arrived, she stood up and came out to greet her. Seeing her enthusiasm, Lawyer Wu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and secretly increased the importance of this client today in his heart.
Since the second lady of the Gu family can treat him so close, I think he must have a very important background.
I just don’t know which family the lady or wife is from?
Just as Mr. Wu was thinking about this, he saw Gu Yue'e leading a girl of about eighteen years old in, and his expression was a little surprised for a moment.
"Hello, Lawyer Wu." Gu Xicao extended his hand and was not at all surprised by Lawyer Wu's shocked expression.
"Hello. What's this lady's name?"
Mr. Wu quickly calmed down, gave an official smile, asked everyone to sit down, and asked his secretary to bring some coffee.
Gu Xicao said: "My last name is Gu, but the one who asked you to sue this time is not me, but a friend of mine..."
She had investigated the lawyer's information in advance. He was a big name in the circle. He opened his own law firm in his early forties and had never lost a lawsuit. Although he had a bad reputation, his abilities were outstanding.
If he were to help He Yiquan with the lawsuit, whether it was a criminal case or a divorce case, it would be a sure win!
Gu Xicao gave a brief account of He Yiquan's situation.
He Yiquan was originally going to come with her today, but Xu Xinxin had a fever and vomited again in the morning and had been sent to the hospital. He Yiquan naturally couldn't leave his daughter behind, so he had to ask Gu Xicao for help.
"That's the situation. I've also seen this case reported in the newspaper."
Lawyer Wu suddenly realized what was going on. He crossed his hands on the table and said, "It's not difficult to win this case. I would not normally take such cases, but for Miss Gu's sake, I will make an exception this time. However, the fees here are not cheap, at least 50,000 yuan. In addition, we will take 10% of the divorce property."
Gu Xicao breathed a sigh of relief. This was much better than what He Yiquan had originally envisioned. "Okay, my friend won't be reluctant to spend the money. Let's settle it today, and tomorrow I'll..."
"Xiaodie, Xiaodie, your daddy is discussing business, you can't go in..."
Before the speaker finished speaking, a little girl had already pushed open the door.
When the little girl's face came into view, Gu Xicao was stunned. Isn't this the little girl in the elevator?
"Daddy!" Xiaodie quickly ran to Mr. Wu and threw herself into his arms: "Xiaodie is here to see you."
"Xiaodie?" Mr. Wu was a little surprised, but there was no anger on his face. He waved at the secretary, motioning her to go out first.
Wu Lingdie climbed onto her father's lap and sat down. When she looked up, she found the little sister opposite her was looking at her curiously. She exclaimed, "Sister, so you are here to see my Daddy."
"Yes, what a coincidence." Gu Xicao smiled, "Lawyer Wu, this is your daughter. She's so cute."
"Yes, this child is naughty and always comes to me suddenly."
Mr. Wu ruffled his daughter's hair, with an embarrassed smile on his face: "Sorry, wait a minute, Xiaodie, you go out first, daddy will come and play with you after he finishes his work."
"Okay, but you can't make me wait too long. I brought a gift for daddy, daddy has to hurry up." Although Xiaodie was a little reluctant, she still climbed down from the seat obediently.
Lawyer Wu wanted to save face for the Gu family, so the case was quickly settled.
Finally, seeing that the time was almost up, Mr. Wu said with a smile, "It's already this hour, why don't I treat you two to a meal?"
"If anyone wants to treat you, it should be me who treats you."
Gu Xicao said, "Today, thanks to Miss Gu's help in making the connection, and Lawyer Wu's willingness to help, I think if my friend knew that Lawyer Wu personally took over this case, he would surely be able to sleep peacefully."
"Miss Gu, I feel embarrassed to hear you say that. We must put our all into this case." Lawyer Wu came out with the two of them, smiling.
As soon as they walked out of the office, the three of them heard a noise coming from the living room and Xiaodie's crying.
Mr. Wu felt nervous and ran over quickly.
But Xiaodie hid in his ex-wife's arms with her face covered. When she saw Mr. Wu coming over, she immediately shouted in grievance, "Daddy!"
"Xiaodie, what's wrong with you?" Mr. Wu hurried over.
When the woman next to her saw this, her face darkened, she stamped her feet and said coquettishly, "Husband!"
When Mr. Wu saw the woman, his expression changed slightly, and his face became a little stiff. "It's you. Why are you here too?"
"What do you mean I'm here too."
The woman snorted and touched her belly. "It's almost noon now, and I came to bring you food. But as soon as I got here, your daughter ran over and bumped into me. If I hadn't been quick, I don't know what would have happened to me now!"
"You're talking nonsense. Xiaodie was playing with me here just now. She was several steps away from you. How could I bump into you?"
Shu Ya, who was holding Xiaodie, couldn't help herself anymore. She clenched her teeth and tightened her cheek muscles. "But you, you clearly saw Xiaodie stop, but you still hit Xiaodie in the face."
Xiaodie raised her head, and everyone saw that half of the girl's face was red. The finger marks were very clear, and it was obvious that the person who did it had shown no mercy.
