042
Jiang Yujin's law firm opened, and a row of flower baskets were placed at the entrance.
The receptionist, security guard, and cleaner were all replaced by Liang Dongmo. After Jiang Yujin greeted the dutiful old man at the reception, he felt as if he had entered a nursing home.
"Liang Dongmo, what kind of people did you hire? Are you even going to be able to keep my law firm running?"
Jiang Yujin was furious. Not only had he replaced all the people he had hired, but Liang Dongmo, who had a perfectly good CEO office, was occupying his desk in this tiny place.
"Come and sit down." Seeing that he was angry, Liang Dongmo was pleased and invited him to sit down.
She didn't go to work today. She was dressed casually, wearing a dark red knit sweater with a caramel-colored straight skirt. Combined with her face, which only showed any expression when she was in bed, she gave off a cool and refined vibe.
"Where should we sit?" Jiang Yujin crossed his arms, displeased with Liang Dongmo's behavior.
The seats were taken by Liang Dongmo; the chairs were so small, it was a bit cramped for two people.
"I'm not playing with you anymore, Liang Dongmo. It's not like there aren't other places to go." Jiang Yujin's office was occupied, but he still had the reception room and lounge to go to.
Alpha anticipated that he wouldn't obediently listen, and prepared well, said, "It's locked up. I have the key. Come and get it yourself if you want."
Jiang Yujin was helpless against her, unaware that she was like prey slowly approaching, and with the slightest touch, the alpha could succeed.
Liang Dongmo steadily supported the omega's buttocks, and with his other hand touched the tie on his chest. The chair was of good quality, supporting the weight of two adults. "Xiao Jin looks very good in a suit on his first day of work."
Alpha's purpose wasn't just a simple tie; she unbuttoned a few buttons on her shirt, reached inside, and kneaded the dough to check if she could bake a perfectly controllable loaf. Although her cooking skills were good, she hadn't baked bread for anyone in the past two years, so while she wasn't exactly rusty, her pre-practice techniques were quite skillful.
Just as she was about to take things further, the omega regained his senses and decisively slapped away her mischievous hand, saying, "It's work time, so take back what you're thinking about all day."
The omega turned her back to her and fastened her unbuttoned tie. Liang Dongmo knew she had upset the omega, so she took the initiative to come forward and help her tie her tie, and everything returned to normal.
The law firm's first client came to the office three days after it opened.
After sending Liang Dongmo to work, Jiang Yujin discussed the details with him in the meeting room.
The client, He Yuan, was an omega who had long suffered domestic violence and had a two-year-old omega child with his current alpha husband. He timidly accepted the hot tea offered by the receptionist, took a sip, and began to recount his past in fits and starts. His life was a series of arranged marriages, marriages, and children—almost the same process for all omegas in society. The only difference was that He Yuan did not continue his studies after graduating high school.
After graduating from high school, he worked to support his family. He went on a blind date arranged by his parents. Before the marriage, the alpha's sweet words made him think that this person was very good. Without further confirmation, he hurriedly got married. Not long after the marriage, the alpha revealed his true nature. He stayed out all night and returned reeking of alcohol. He Yuan only found out after getting the marriage certificate that the alpha not only drank but also liked to beat people and forced himself on him while drunk.
He Yuan took advantage of a break while out buying groceries to visit a law firm to ask a lawyer if he could win custody of the child in this situation if he got divorced.
He had a child shortly after getting married, and the alpha wouldn't let him go out to work, so he had to stay home and take care of the child full-time.
After a preliminary assessment, Jiang Yujin advised him to find a job as soon as possible and move out of that house. "I will prepare the contract, Mr. He. If you are sure you want to sue your husband, come to the law firm at this time tomorrow to sign the contract."
He Yuan was still a little hesitant, "I don't know if I can come out tomorrow."
He was afraid that Jiang Yujin wouldn't believe that her husband had abused her, so he pulled up his long sleeves to show Jiang Yujin the new wounds he had inflicted the day before yesterday. The new and old wounds were intertwined, looking gruesome and terrifying.
"Young man, don't be afraid. Our lawyer Jiang is a good man and will definitely get justice for you," Grandpa Wang assured him, patting him on the shoulder.
“I will do my best to fight for your maximum rights.” Jiang Yujin frowned. Domestic violence is a serious matter. “Mr. He, after signing the contract, we need you to keep records of any previous domestic violence incidents as evidence. Please move out as soon as possible during this period, protect yourself, and can you go for a forensic examination tomorrow?”
Suddenly, the timid omega stood up, as if recognizing something. "I'm sorry, I won't sue anymore. May I leave now?"
He viewed the person opposite him as a monster, and when he got up, he knocked over the water glass in front of him, said "sorry" and ran away.
The tea spilled on the table and floor was still warm. Jiang Yujin felt confused. "Uncle Wang, you can go back to the front desk. I'll clean up here."
The old man is getting on in years, so it's not easy for him to get the five social insurances and one housing fund.
"These young people these days are terrible, Xiao Jiang, are you burned?" Grandpa Wang sighed.
"It's alright, sir. The water is a bit cold, so it won't be too hot if it splashes on your clothes. We'll have other clients who get emotional in the future."
Jiang Yujin took a few tissues and wiped the water off the table. When he was interning abroad, he followed Liu Jiaren. His teacher had the opportunity to witness the scene of the client's ex-husband wielding a knife. Such situations are strictly controlled abroad. The client's ex-husband was sentenced to ten years in prison and prohibited from contacting or approaching the client's residence and workplace.
There are many unfair things in the world, and since he became a lawyer, he was already mentally prepared to deal with all sorts of thorny issues.
The omega named He Yuan did not come back at the same time the next day.
A month later, to everyone's surprise, he came to the law firm again, this time with his alpha husband.
"I'm sorry, my wife has disturbed you."
Jiang Yujin felt very uncomfortable with the alpha's sizing-up gaze, which was made of him dressed in a very respectable manner.
"You must be Mr. He's husband?"
"Hello Attorney Jiang, my name is Song Nan, the character 'Nan' has the water radical, and I am He Yuan's legal husband."
He Yuan held her two-year-old child, hiding behind her husband without saying a word.
"I heard that it was your suggestion that he wanted a divorce, is that right, Attorney Jiang?"
"This gentleman himself wanted a divorce, which is why he came to our law firm for consultation."
Upon hearing Jiang Yujin's words, the omega holding the child immediately tensed up.
"Yes, but..."
He stammered, as if he wanted to say something more.
Song Nan is taking him home.
"Don't wash your dirty linen in public. This is our family matter, and I hope Attorney Jiang won't go around talking about it." Song Nan was about to get a promotion, and if word got out that he had abused his wife, it would not only ruin the good image he had worked so hard to build at the company, but also make his promotion hopeless.
"You can rest assured about that. All our law firm staff have signed confidentiality agreements and will not disclose our clients' privacy." After Jiang Yujin finished speaking, the omega holding the child became emotional.
He Yuan seemed to know what he would encounter when he got home, and struggled fiercely to protect the young child in his arms.
"I'm not going back! Attorney Jiang, I'm going to sue my husband! I want a divorce! I won't accept mediation! I'm going to sue him!" He Yuan shouted these words desperately, and then burst into tears.
A few days ago, when he was holding his child and was knocked to the ground again by Song Nan, he finally woke up to reality.
The child suffered a mild concussion, and he cried his heart out in the pediatric ward, saying he was useless.
Song Nan couldn't pull away the crying He Yuan, so she tried to take the child away.
Jiang Yujin blocked his way and said he would call the police, but Song Nan, for the sake of his reputation, said, "If you want a divorce, the child must stay with me. You can figure out the rest yourself," and left the law firm.
The beta who came to visit heard the commotion and the alpha went outside. When he went inside, he saw that it was a complete mess.
"Damn, you're the class monitor?" Lu Anshi didn't want to interfere with Jiang Yujin's business. He couldn't help but greet an acquaintance.
"You know him?" Jiang Yujin was pulled out of the reception room by Lu Anshi.
"You forgot again? Never mind, we were in the same class in high school."
Lu Anshi gave a brief explanation, and Jiang Yujin nodded thoughtfully. "He had excellent grades, so why didn't he continue his studies?"
Lu Anshi chuckled, "You're not angry about what he did anymore, Brother Jiang?"
“Work matters should not be mixed with personal matters. He is now my client.”
No wonder He Yuan left the law firm in such a hurry the first time he came; it turns out he recognized him.
Jiang Yujin loosened his tie and let out a breath. "I'll go in and ask him what to do next. You wait for me in the office."
"Okay, okay, we'll wait for you to get off work and have dinner. We'll go early, without your partner."
After returning to China, he had a few meals with Lu Anshi, and their relationship improved. Jiang Yujin realized that he and Lu Anshi had become good friends.
Under Grandpa Wang's persuasion, He Yuan made up his mind to sue Song Nan. What worried him most was the custody of his two-year-old child. The child was his heart and soul, and he couldn't bear to leave the child he had watched grow up.
“If your husband contacts you privately, tell him to come to me. Don’t meet with him alone.” Jiang Yujin has a responsibility to reduce the risk of harm to his clients.
"Jiang... Attorney Jiang, do you really want to help me?" Omega's tone was hesitant. They had a past conflict, and Omega wasn't sure if this arrogant young master from high school would genuinely help him.
Jiang Yujin naturally adopted a businesslike attitude. He understood the employer's concerns. "Mr. He, after signing the contract, we are in the same boat. Please explain in detail the time and process of the domestic violence you have suffered at the hands of your husband over the years, so that we can collect evidence."
A glimmer of light appeared in He Yuan's dormant eyes. Looking at his adorable child, he couldn't help but shed tears again. "Attorney Jiang, what you said last time about me finding a job, I've found one. It includes room and board, and I can even bring the child." Washing dishes in the kitchen is tiring, but it's better than living in fear in that house.
"Congratulations, you've taken the first step." Jiang Yujin abhorred domestic violence and infidelity, but as a lawyer with professional skills, he had to control his emotions. Just now, if it were the old him, he would have definitely punched that alpha named Song Nan.
