Chapter 67 Fear
"Ziyun," he called her name in a gentle voice, but the words he said made Meng Ziyun feel like she was falling into an ice cellar. "Whether it's direct or indirect, it's a fact that she hasn't woken up yet because of me. The last words before she closed her eyes were to ask me to help take care of you. Because of me, you lost your only relative, so I feel guilty towards you."
Ji Yanxing looked at her stunned expression and continued: "I have tried my best to compensate you over the years. Maybe you have other ideas, but this is the only thing I can do.
"Is it because of Yu Nian?" Meng Ziyun asked in a trembling voice.
Ji Yanxing: "She is my wife."
Meng Ziyun opened his eyes wide, his fingers clenched so tightly that the joints turned white, "You love her"
It has only been a short time since he fell in love with Yu Nian?
Ji Yanxing's eyes darkened and he was silent for a few seconds. He neither admitted nor denied it, and said calmly: "This is what a husband should do to show his loyalty to his wife."
——
Yu Nian was in a bad mood.
In the morning, she received a call from the court. It was a case she was responsible for during her internship. The client, Feng Xiaoyang, wanted to divorce a domestic violence man. The evidence and statement were all prepared, but the client suddenly wanted to reconcile with her husband and the two did not plan to divorce.
The Bar Association assigns several legal aid cases to law firms every year, but lawyers usually hand over such formalistic cases to trainee lawyers. Yu Nian was assigned to handle Feng Xiaoyang's case. This was the first client she had received entirely by herself. Apart from rational factors, she also emotionally hoped that Feng Xiaoyang could live a good life. During the first meeting, Feng Xiaoyang told her that her husband was her first love, but after marriage he suddenly treated her badly and often abused her after drinking. She wanted a divorce and asked Yu Nian to help her out of her misery.
When she first entered the workplace, her supervising lawyer reminded her based on her experience as a veteran lawyer not to focus too much on her clients, to stay away from their lives, and to keep her sympathy and desire to help others in check, as it was just a job.
Yu Nian kept it in mind, but felt some sympathy for her first client.
She thought Feng Xiaoyang would start a new life after the divorce, but she didn't expect that she regretted it and reconciled with her abusive husband.
Yu Nian advised herself not to care about it, everyone has their own choices, but whenever she thought about it, she still felt very depressed, and her work efficiency in the afternoon became lower.
But what she didn't expect was that Feng Xiaoyang actually came to her with her husband.
Yu Nian didn't drive today, she took Ji Yanxing's car. After work, she sent a text message to Ji Yanxing, and he replied that he was on his way to the law firm. After putting her phone away, she walked to the side of the road to wait for a car. A man and a woman suddenly blocked her way. Yu Nian was startled and saw Feng Xiaoyang and her husband Zheng Yao. "You are the lawyer who persuaded my wife to divorce me, right?"
Zheng Yaoliu's rough and vulgar voice sounded, and his still presentable face showed a vulgar expression. He glanced at Yu Nian from top to bottom, and touched his chin with his blackened fingers.
Yu Nian pursed his lips and said, "It's your wife who wants to divorce you. She applied for legal aid from the Justice Bureau. I was just assigned to handle it..."
"Stop talking nonsense to me. My wife has told me everything," Zheng Yao put his arm around Feng Xiaoyang's waist and looked at her with a ferocious expression. "If you hadn't told her that she could get at least half of my property if she divorced me, she wouldn't have divorced me! A black-hearted lawyer like you, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for making such a shady money?"
Seeing Yu Nian, a thin woman, Zheng Yao sneered: "I won't ask you for more money for the travel expenses, lost work time and mental damages that I wasted on the lawsuit. Just give me 20,000 yuan and I'll leave."
When he finished speaking, Yu Nian didn't look at him, but looked at Feng Xiaoyang and said coldly: "Ms. Feng, please take your husband away, or I will call the police."
"Call the police!" Zheng Yao clicked his tongue and laughed gruffly.
"Aren't you a lawyer? I didn't hit you. What law did I break? It's useless to call the police!"
It had been so long since she had dealt with such people that Yu Nian almost forgot the ugly faces of the low-level scoundrels. She took out her cell phone and was about to call the security office of the law firm when her phone was suddenly knocked away by a hand and fell to the ground with a "bang".
Zheng Yao was about to take his hand back, but when he saw that Yu Nian's phone was good, he bent down to pick it up and smacked his lips. "I'll take the phone and use it as collateral first. If you don't give me the money, I promise to come to see you every week."
He saw that Yu Nian was well dressed. Feng Xiaoyang told him that everything Yu Nian was wearing, the bag she was carrying, and even the jewelry she was wearing were all high-end items, and twenty thousand yuan was like two hundred yuan to her.
Just think of it as paying the money to get rid of the trouble. It was her who helped that bitch Feng Xiaoyang and wanted to divide his car and house.
Yu Nian frowned. There was a huge difference in strength between men and women. She did not fight with him. She was about to leave without saying a word and ask for help after getting rid of Zheng Yao.
Zheng Yao probably saw that she was scared and thought she was a soft persimmon. He put his hand on her shoulder and said in a fatherly tone, "Women should be kind and not make money just by doing anything!"
Before he could finish his words, a strong hand grabbed his arm and pulled his hand away from Yu Nian's shoulder.
The sickening feeling disappeared.
Yu Nian was pulled into Ji Yanxing's arms, and her whole body was enveloped by the familiar smell of his body. She looked up at him, and suddenly relaxed, only to find that her body was shaking. Smart people do things in a traceable way, but stupid people are stupid in their own way. She was really afraid that Zheng Yao would beat her regardless of the consequences, even if he was punished more afterwards, she was beaten in vain.
Ji Yanxing held her in his arms and looked her up and down, as if he was checking whether his belongings were bumped or not, and checked her from head to toe.
"I'm fine." Yu Nian said softly.
Ji Yanxing was relieved at this moment. He turned to look at Zheng Yao who was being controlled by the bodyguards. The anger between his eyebrows could not be concealed, as if he was looking at a dead object. His voice was like ice: "Take him away."
Bodyguard: "Yes!"
"Why did you take me away? This is a society ruled by law!" Zheng Yao's ferocious face was extremely ugly, and he roared at Ji Yanxing, "Believe it or not, I will sue you! Let me go!"
His accusations were useless. His voice faded away. Along with Feng Xiaoyang's crying, Ji Yanxing took Yu Nian's phone from the bodyguard, wiped it with a wet wipe, and returned it to her, whispering, "Go home."
"Yeah." Yu Nian took the phone and looked up at him, "What are you going to do to him?"
Ji Yanxing held her hand and said, "Let him pay the price."
Yu Nian looked at him with some concern, "Don't dirty your hands."
"..." Ji Yanxing paused and looked at her with amusement, "I'm not a gangster."
I thought ":..."
