"When is your court hearing? I'll go over and cheer you on."
Shu Tinglan told him the specific time,
"If you are busy, there is no need to come all the way."
"Of course I will come. This is the highlight moment for our lawyer Shu to shine. I want to record it." Yi Muyang joked.
Shu Tinglan was a little worried: "I still don't know what the court will do in the retrial, and I'm a little worried about living up to Xu's mother's expectations." Although there are many things that she can't control, the hopes of Xu's mother and Xu Wei's life are weighing on her, and the pressure is on her.
Quite big.
"Ting Lan, do your best in everything, and just have a clear conscience." This is the attitude he has pursued in recent years, just like when he abandoned Song Song's body in Sanjiangyuan, it was a last resort.
"Yeah." After chatting for a while, he hung up the call.
In the WeChat interface, there are two call requests from Zhuo Yuan and two sentences
"I'm downstairs."
"Tinglan, let's talk."
Shu Tinglan got up and stood by the window. He saw that Zhuo Yuan's car lights were not turned off downstairs, so he stood by the car and looked up. Maybe he saw her figure by the window, so he called again and asked to come over.
He was always forceful, so Shu Tinglan had no intention of going out, but this time he got through and remained silent, waiting for him to continue.
He didn't speak for a moment, only the sound of their breathing intertwined on the phone, both familiar and unfamiliar.
After a long time, he finally spoke:
"Tinglan, I'm sorry. I lied before. I don't want to be friends with you. I never wanted to be friends with you."
"Tinglan, I regret it. I want to pursue you again."
He was standing next to the car downstairs, tilting his head slightly to confess to her. In the silent night, every word hit Shu Tinglan's weak nerves. Her breathing was stagnant, as if she had heard some joke of the century.
I can barely control my temper and want to yell,
"What crazy talk are you talking about? Zhuo Yu'an, we can't go back."
"I don't want to go back either. I have a boyfriend and a new life."
Zhuo Yuan's confession was beyond her expectation. She had always been on guard against him. The biggest reason for being wary of him was that she was afraid that he would know the existence of the children and steal them from her.
She never thought that he would want to look back. Wasn't the divorce enough?
"Tinglan, my life has not been good these past few years. I regret agreeing to divorce you. If I had insisted on it, would the outcome have been completely different?"
It's okay that he didn't mention it. When he mentioned it, Shu Tinglan breathed in his chest: "So you blame me? You blame me for not fighting side by side with you and persisting, blame me for giving up first?"
As a result, Zhuo Yu'an was silent for a second and answered truthfully: "Yes, it's your fault, and it's my fault." For many wounds, he just wanted to tear them open completely, expose them, and then treat them, instead of hiding them.
Shu Tinglan was shaking with anger
: "Zhuo Yu'an, go to hell!"
After saying that, she hung up the call. If it weren't for throwing objects from high altitudes against the law, she would have wanted to smash the flower pot next to the window sill and kill him.
Xiaoxin heard the noise in the guest room and hurriedly turned on the light and came out
: "Lawyer Shu, what happened?"
Shu Tinglan looked at the girl in front of him, and the thoughts that were so densely intertwined finally returned.
