Chapter 42 Reversal of Judgment: Can you hug me?
Lu Tian looked at his smug expression, her nails dug deep into her palms, blood seeping out of her clenched fists, making her briefly sober.
She suddenly had some strength, and a voice in her head told her not to give up, not to give up! Such a scum has not been punished yet, how can she give up her life!
Fang Rui rolled his eyes at Lin Qianjie, "You haven't won the case yet, what are you so proud of?"
Lin Qianjie grabbed Attorney Wang and said proudly, "With Attorney Wang here, how could I not win? Fang Rui, remember to attend my celebration party when the time comes, I'll take you to eat something good."
"Mr. Lin, Ms. Jiang asked us to go back." Wang Li waved his hand away and said coldly.
"Got it."
"Nie Yan, we can't lose!" Lu Tian stared at Nie Yan closely, "I will take my medicine well, I will control my emotions well, and I won't let those experts diagnose me as crazy. I can't lose!"
Lu Tian was not doing this for herself, her life was already ruined, she just didn't want a scum like Lin Qianjie to harm another innocent girl.
Let the tragedy end with her.
Nie Yan was not so confident. Psychiatric appraisal is not as easy to distinguish true from false as other physical evidence. In other words, if Lawyer Wang bribed those experts, even if they gave a false appraisal report, they would not be able to refute it.
——The
audience was noisy, but Mu Mian seemed to have blocked out the outside sounds and concentrated on painting the picture in his hand.
Jiang Yun felt that the girl sitting next to him was very strange. She seemed to want to talk to her, but she always hesitated.
Mu Mian finally thought of the opening remarks, "Hello. Do you know the person in the portrait?"
Mu Mian handed the portrait she had just painted to Jiang Yun with a tentative tone.
The picture on the paper was a loving mother holding a baby. Mu Mian used delicate brushstrokes to completely restore the photo.
Jiang Yun took the painting, she took a look at it, and her expression was stunned. The memories that she had suppressed flooded into her mind like a tide.
She looked at Mu Mian coldly: "Who are you and what is your relationship with Mu Mian?"
Mu Mian did not speak, she did not know whether to recognize her mother. Her mother's expression did not seem to be happy, and even a little... disgusted.
Why would a mother hate her own child?
Jiang Yun continued: "You are from the Shen family, right? Didn't I tell you not to bother me? Whether Mu Mian is dead or alive has nothing to do with me, and I will not go to see her. If you want money, I can give you a large sum of money, but the premise is that you don't bother me again..."
"Why... don't you want to see her?" Mu Mian felt that her mind was confused.
Although her adoptive mother treated her very well and loved her like a precious and fragile porcelain, that was not loving a child, she was just caring for and taking care of an autistic patient.
All her knowledge of her mother came from beautiful fairy tales, so she couldn't understand the current situation. Of course, she couldn't understand fairy tales very well either.
"She is the nightmare of my life. I can't accept that I have a child who is like a fool." Jiang Yun pinched his eyebrows, trying to stop himself from recalling the past, "You have raised her for so many years, just continue to raise her, why are you looking for me now?"
So that's the case...
Mu Mian looked at Jiang Yun, trying to keep her eyes on him. Mu Mian saw her pitiful self in her cold eyes.
Sister is right, not all mothers will love their children, only mothers in fairy tales will do that.
Jiang Yun also looked carefully at the strange girl in front of her. The girl's eyebrows made her feel familiar. She wanted to ask if you are Mu Mian, but she felt it was impossible.
Mu Mian should be a girl with low intelligence. She can't speak, can't draw, and it's even more impossible for her to appear in front of her.
Mu Mian might even be dead. A child like that won't live long, and shouldn't live too long.
"Okay," Mu Mian snatched her painting back from Jiang Yun's hand, and she tried to speak in a calm tone, "I promise you, she won't bother you."
Jiang Yun looked at her empty palms, and she asked, "Who are you?"
Mu Mian didn't answer.
The trial was over at this time. Jiang Yun looked at Mu Mian again, then she put on sunglasses and left with her assistant.
Mu Mian felt a huge sadness drowning her. But she couldn't describe that feeling, she couldn't even cry, but her mind was blank, as if all her memories had been cleared.
"Mu Mian, why are you in a daze again!" Fang Rui searched for a long time before he saw Mu Mian sitting in a daze in the corner. She looked very different from usual.
Mu Mian looked very lonely at this moment, as if there was a glass cover covering Mu Mian, and she was the only one inside.
The memory suddenly returned to Mu Mian's mind again. Even though she revised the part about her mother again, she still couldn't suppress the surging sadness.
"Fang Rui, I'm very sad, I need comfort," Mu Mian opened her arms to Fang Rui, "Can you hug me?"
Fang Rui glanced at Xi Zhou, most people were walking out. He didn't really want to hug someone in public, even if that person was Mu Mian.
But now Mu Mian looked very fragile.
Fang Rui sighed, reached out and hugged Mu Mian, "Have you seen your mother?" He saw the painting in Mu Mian's hand and probably guessed what had happened.
"Yes, she is completely different from what I imagined. She doesn't like me. It's nothing, some mothers just don't love their children. This is common sense."
Mu Mian found that she didn't love her mother that much. She was just confused by the image of her mother that she imagined. That image embodied Mu Mian's wish to be loved as a normal person.
When she really saw her mother, her imagination was shattered, so she was so sad.
Because that meant that she would never get the emotional experience that a normal person should have.
Feeling the warm touch, Mu Mian suddenly felt that the huge wave of sadness had receded, but another strange and fresh emotion swept over. Mu Mian didn't know what it was, but it occupied Mu Mian's brain and made Mu Mian feel unprecedentedly happy.
At this moment, Mu Mian wanted to possess Fang Rui's body more than ever.
Mu Mian reluctantly let go of Fang Rui.
Fang Rui reached out and touched Mu Mian's head, ruffled her short hair, and comforted her, "Mu Mian, it's okay if she doesn't like you, there are still many people who will love you."
Fang Rui decided to be better to Mu Mian in the future, she seemed to lack love.
"I know there are many people who love me. But Fang Rui, you can't rub my head, it's like rubbing a kitten or a puppy. I don't like it!" Mu Mian reached out and tidied her hair.
Even though her adoptive parents and sister didn't treat her as a normal person, their love was real. Even those psychological experts she hated gave her a lot of love. So Mu Mian's growth was not lacking in love.
"If you really like to touch my head, I can allow you to do it, but you have to donate your body to me."
"...I can see that you are not so sad now. Then let's go back!"
Mu Mian followed Fang Rui out. When he saw Nie Yan and Lu Tian at the door of the court, Mu Mian remembered to ask about the result of the trial: "Prosecutor Nie, did you win the case?"
"No. The court is adjourned temporarily. Both parties need to provide additional evidence. The other party requested a mental evaluation of Lu Tian."
"Then do you want to hug Prosecutor Nie?"
Fang Rui said unhappily: "Why should I hug her?" Fang Rui really wanted to open Mu Mian's mind and see what she was thinking about day by day?
"She is your friend. She didn't win the lawsuit. Don't you want to comfort her?"
"I have already comforted her verbally. Adults don't comfort people by hugging."
Mu Mian tilted his head and said, "But you hugged me just now."
"..." Where did the fragile Mu Mian just now go? Is Mu Mian's emotional recovery ability so strong?
Chen Xue has excellent hearing. She immediately came over and asked, "Mian Mian, what were you saying just now? I seemed to hear the word hug."
"It's not that difficult to mislead psychiatrists and psychologists to make a wrong diagnosis," Mu Mian changed the subject, "It's easy to pretend to be sick or not. Which one does Lu Tian need to do? I can teach her."
