I'm so poor, I pretend

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

The legal assistant who had just left opened the door slightly and leaned halfway in.

For some reason, she just felt that the atmosphere in the Kung Fu office seemed a little different from when she just came here, but she couldn't say exactly what was different.

Maybe it's because Lawyer Shen's cousin is not sitting on the sofa?

Or those takeaway boxes on Lawyer Shen's desk?

The little assistant's eyes quickly scanned every corner of the office, and finally looked in the direction of Shen Yizuo.

——I saw Shu Jiabao standing beside Shen Yi's desk with an obedient look on his face, and when he saw the person at the door looking towards him, he raised his hand very friendly and greeted him.

And Shen Yi still looked the same, there was no special expression on his face, but he always felt a little different from when he just met.

But now the little assistant doesn't have the time to think about it, she knocked on Shen Yi's door, of course she had something to say.

"Lawyer Shen, there's a call from the police station about Yan Lie's case."

I don't know why the call didn't reach Shen Yi's mobile phone but the landline of their law firm, but fortunately, Shen Yi hasn't got off work yet, so there is no delay.

"Okay, I'll come." Hearing that it was Yan Lie's case, Shen Yi didn't have the heart to entangle Shu Jiabao anymore.

After speaking, she stood up from the chair, but her left hand was still gently covering the right side of her lower abdomen. Although she had already taken the medicine, she still hadn't recovered.

This action caught Shu Jiabao's eyes, and she frowned dissatisfied.

She really wanted to push Shen Yi on the chair and sit and rest, but she rationally told herself that she couldn't do that, if she really did, Shen Yi would probably annoy her.

The only thing she can do now is to wait here for the other party to come back.

"Clean up the table before I come back." Before leaving, Shen Yi glanced at Shu Jiabao who was standing beside her.

After leaving the office with the little assistant, Shen Yi suddenly felt a sense of relief, as if not having to face Shu Jiabao alone was a relaxing thing, the two walked down the stairs to the side of the landline, Shen Yi Yi took a call.

This process didn't last too long, she was seriously communicating with the person on the other side of the phone, and after hanging up the phone, Shen Yi realized that the little assistant standing by was staring at her.

The hesitant to speak and the curious look in his eyes made Shen Yi feel uncomfortable.

"What are you looking at?" She put the microphone in her hand back on the landline, turned around and looked at the little assistant, her eyes were full of doubts and incomprehension.

Of course, there is still a bit of guilt that has never been shown, and only she knows it.

——Could it be that Shu Jiabao accidentally left some marks on her body just now?

It shouldn't be, the other party should not be such an ignorant person.

Not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, just thinking of such a possibility makes Shen Yi feel uncomfortable.

She is a very strict person, especially when she is working, she cannot allow her image to be flawed in front of her subordinates.

While she was distracted for a while, the little assistant finally said, "Lawyer Shen..."

"Did you just change your lipstick in the office?"

she asked, blinking.

But his eyes were fixed on Shen Yi's lips, his face was full of curiosity, women are very sensitive to changes in lipstick color, and Shen Yi's lipstick color not long ago was obviously not this color.

"What?" The jump between what the other party said and what he was thinking was too great, and Shen Yi couldn't keep up for a while.

"The color of the lipstick is different from what I saw just now, it looks better." The little assistant explained again, but as innocent as she was, she just thought that Shen Yi deliberately changed another lipstick not long ago.

"..." Only then did the person who knew the inside story realize what the other party said.

"Yes, it was indeed changed just now." She continued calmly and followed the other party's words. Although she was still calm on the surface, her heart was already turbulent.

Fortunately, the other party didn't see any clues, and soon returned to his job.

After parting with the little assistant, Shen Yi didn't go back to the office directly, but walked around to the bathroom. She took a good look at herself in the mirror for a while - she saw that there was nothing wrong with the person in the mirror. The makeup on the face was not too fancy, and it was still very delicate. The only thing that made people feel a little wrong was that the lips became moister and redder more vividly.

At first glance, people thought it was a brighter lipstick shade, but Shen Yi himself didn't like too conspicuous shades.

Due to her career, she will use those more restrained lipstick colors.

But where is there any new color number, it was obviously kissed by Shu Jiabao.

The other party just kissed her in the office for a while, and even ate all the lipstick on her lips!

——Perhaps this is the reason why the little assistant said this just now.

Shen Yi raised her hand, and lightly pressed her fingertips on her lips, looking at herself in the mirror in a daze.

After returning to the office, she found that Shu Jiabao had returned to sit on the small sofa, and all the lunch boxes on her desk had been cleaned up and thrown into the trash can, only the neat files were still there, as if Waiting for the master who left to come back and continue to browse.

Shen Yi approached the table, turned her head away, and saw that the expression on Shu Jiabao's face did not change.

Although the other party's face was full of reluctance, he didn't say anything.

"Don't read it." She quickly covered the case file in her hand, and said to Shu Jiabao, "If you want to eat tonight, we'll go right away."

"You didn't watch it?" Shu Jiabao spoke slowly, a little suspicious.

The words coming out of Shen Yi's mouth made her feel unreal. She pursed her lips and did not follow Shen Yi's words. On the contrary, she said in a strange way: "Why don't you read it, Sister Shen Yi, It's okay, you can continue watching."

"Even if you want to go out of this door sideways for a while, as a cousin, I will definitely guard you every step of the way and send you into the hospital gate."

Although his attitude was not good, there was always some concern in his words, Shen Yi could hear it naturally, and he didn't care too much with the other party.

"You like me, right?"

She looked at Shu Jiabao, so straightforward at the moment.

It was so straightforward that Shu Jiabao was at a loss. Although this was something both of them acquiesced to, they never said it out.

So she didn't understand what Shen Yi meant by saying such things at this stall.

You just said that you don't talk about personal affairs during working hours, and now you slap yourself in the face?

Before Shu Jiabao had time to think about how to reply, Shen Yi spoke again: "But if I am an irresponsible lawyer who puts myself first in everything and has no sense of responsibility, then what else do you like about me?"

After sublimating the matter to a different level, no matter how big Shu Jiabao's complaints were, she could only swallow them down. She pursed her lips, and turned her eyes away from Shen Yi.

She couldn't refute this.

Because what Shen Yi said is not wrong at all, she can't say the kind of nonsense that "whatever you become" I will like you.

"Then look, I won't make trouble."

"Don't look at it." Shen Yi picked up the coat she hung on the back of the chair, put it on her hand, and looked at Shu Jiabao, "It's not much use to look at this case, it's a foregone conclusion."

After speaking, she took the lead and walked towards the door.

The call from the police station just now told her that the serious case had already been found and the police had found enough evidence to prosecute both obstruction of justice and drunk driving and wounding. Shen Yi was asked to come to the police station for a final investigation tomorrow morning.

In other words, she completely lost the case, and she didn't even have to wait for the trial.

The nature of the case has changed. As Yan Lie's attorney, the last thing she can do is to wait for the police to re-prosecute, and then fight for the other party in court to save a few years.

There is always a price to be paid for crime, and justice arrives late.

I don't know why, when Shen Yi just received the call, she felt relieved.

Perhaps subconsciously, she also despises people like Yan Lie.

Although Shu Jiabao didn't know why things suddenly became like this, she knew that Shen Yi didn't have to work overtime, which was good news for her, so she quickly picked up her bag and followed.

Although the follow-up of the case is still a bit cumbersome, they are all very simple things, and many things can be done by the assistant.

But the time stretched a bit too long. While waiting for the last court session, Shen Yi took on a few more cases sent by the legal aid, but they were all simple cases, so he wasn't too busy.

Shu Jiabao also made a decision during this period, and signed a contract with a company that is relatively well-known in the industry. This matter...she hasn't mentioned it to her family for the time being.

After signing the company, there is also a broker.

Shu Jiabao's agent, surnamed Zhao, is called Zhao Man. She is a woman who is nearly 40 years old. Most people call her Sister Zhao.

Soon, Zhao Man helped her take on two new dramas. Although she may not have as many roles as in Gong Zheng's drama, but fortunately, they are all good scripts. After reading it, Shu Jiabao also feels quite good. satisfy.

In this way, after Shen Yi was finally free, she didn't have much time.

On this day, Shen Yi appeared in court for the last time to defend him as Yan Lie's lawyer, and the final judgment of the court finally came down. So far, the case that has been going around for more than half a year finally came to an end.

Shu Jiabao happened to have time that day, so she also came to the court to attend the final trial. She also watched Shen Yi's defense in court, and felt that the trip was worthwhile.

After leaving the court, Shu Jiabao stood in the lobby of the court waiting for Shen Yi to come out. The two met and were about to leave when they met Qiu Yu who also came to listen.

Although they were far away, Qiu Yu saw Shen Yi at a glance.

"Lawyer Shen, you have worked hard during this time." Qiu Yu took off her police cap and walked towards Shen Yi. After getting closer, she realized that the person next to Shen Yi was Shu Jiabao. My sister is here too."

It seemed that he hadn't thought of it.

"Officer Qiu is the one who has worked so hard to investigate the case." Shen Yike replied politely.

Although he was smiling, the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Don't work hard, serve the people." Qiu Yu smiled brightly.

For her, the happiest thing today is that the verdict has finally come down, and those who committed the crime have been punished as they should. It is worthwhile for her to lead her team members to solve the case without sleep or food.

Now it seems that it is worth it.

After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at Shu Jiabao: "Ah, by the way, little sister Shu, today the case is finalized and our team wants to celebrate tonight. Lin Jia will also come. Are you coming?"

Shu Jiabao didn't expect that the topic would suddenly turn to herself. She glanced at Qiu Yu, then at Shen Yi with the usual expression in her eyes, and suddenly felt that she was being targeted for no reason.

This woman, Qiu Yu, has no good intentions!

What does this celebration have to do with her? If she goes, won't it be a slap in the face?

Lin Jia is Lin Jia, she is her.

Just because you have a good relationship with Lin Jia doesn't mean you have a good relationship with me. Shu Jiabao simply rejected the other party's invitation, and both parties said goodbye politely.

The two got into the car one after another, and after fastening their seat belts, Shu Jiabao asked curiously: "Sister Shen Yi, do you have any trouble with this Qiu Yu?"

She found that this was not the first time this person targeted Shen Yi, as if there was something wrong with him.

Just because of this, she has classified the other party into the category of "seeking trouble for nothing", but every time she hears it from Lin Jia's mouth, it is not the same thing. Qiu Yu in Lin Jia's mouth is a good policeman.

That's why Shu Jiabao asked this question, wondering if Shen Yi offended someone inadvertently.

"No, she just doesn't like me." Shen Yi quickly started the car after fastening her seat belt.

The conclusion of the case was indeed cause for celebration, and she was now driving to a place to eat.

Shen Yi herself also realized that she could still feel a little kindness from Qiu Yu when they were not familiar with each other before, but since the other party took over the serious case and began to investigate deeply, she had some prejudice against herself.

This is not unusual, the police have no tolerance for sand in their eyes.

In the eyes of law enforcement officers, there are only two colors in the world, black and white.

However, the profession of lawyers is often in a gray area. Lawyers only defend their clients according to the law, regardless of right or wrong.

With different positions, naturally thinking is also different, so Shen Yi doesn't care much about Qiu Yu's attitude towards him.

They didn't spend too much time on the topic of Qiu Yu. The car drove through several intersections and stopped in front of a restaurant.

The restaurant that Shen Yi booked today is a French restaurant, and a special person was hired to play the violin beside it. White roses were used as decorations, and the romantic atmosphere was very strong, which made Shu Jiabao feel a little flattered.

"Sister Shen Yi, we have known each other for almost two years." Shu Jiabao picked up the drink cup in front of him, raised it, and motioned to the person across the table, "At this time two years ago, I was the first in the school of University A. See you for the first time."

At that time, Shen Yi came to their school to find friends to pick up things, and saw her somewhere.

Of course, she also caught Shen Yi's skin at a glance, and she was attracted to him, so she agreed to this ridiculous deal.

I just didn't expect things to turn into what they are today.

"It's been almost two years." Shen Yi echoed, but his absent-minded look made people feel a little perfunctory.

The other party's attitude made Shu Jiabao feel a little unhappy, but what Shen Yi was about to say soon made her understand why she was so absent-minded.

"Xiao Shu, I have something to tell you." Shen Yi took a sip of the juice in the glass and said seriously.

Half of the food on the table was eaten, and both of them were almost full. At the end of the meal, Shen Yi finally decided to say what he had been brewing for a long time.

She looked up at the person across the table, her eyes full of solemnity.

Such a serious and formal appearance made people feel a burst of depression.

Shu Jiabao put down the glass in his hand and sat upright, feeling a bad premonition for some reason.

She didn't know what Shen Yi was going to say, but she always felt...

Not a good thing.

But what can be called bad between them?

In just a split second, Shu Jiabao came up with the answer.

"After today, let's end our relationship." Shen Yi opened his lips slightly, and said what he had been thinking about for a long time.

Her expression was very calm, just like when she first told Shu Jiabao about starting this relationship, she was relaxed and natural, without any nostalgia.

For this result, Shu Jiabao was not too surprised.

It seemed to be expected, but she still felt the sadness spreading from her chest.

"how……"

"Why did you say this all of a sudden?"

She tried her best to imitate the look of Shen Yi, pretending to be calm.

But even though she has good acting skills, she can't act as cool as the other party at this time.

Shu Jiabao only felt that his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he spoke in a rough voice: "We have been getting along well during this time, haven't we?"

Shen Yi shook his head: "Every time I transfer the money to you, you haven't received it for a long time. This is not in line with our previous agreement."

At first it was agreed that the relationship between the two was only about money, but in the past six months, Shu Jiabao has frequently crossed the line.

Since the relationship has deteriorated, it is better to end it directly.

Shen Yi thought this way a long time ago, but just in time for the case in hand to be completely concluded and dealt with together, but Shu Jiabao's reaction was so big that she never imagined.

Seeing the other party like this, she also began to feel a little uncomfortable.

"And, even if you are willing to accept it now, I may not have that much money to give you."

"What do you mean?" Shu Jiabao hurriedly asked as if she had grasped the life-saving straw from Shen Yi's words.

The urgency in his tone revealed his intention not to draw a line with the other party.

Shen Yi said slowly: "I have thought about a lot in the past six months, many things I have never seriously thought about before, the case of Yan Lie makes me think that maybe I should take a good rest and think about my future. What way to go."

When she was with Xiao Yuhan before, she never thought about it, because Xiao Yuhan's material needs were too strong, she could only take cases non-stop, and then buy a house, a car, and let them live a prosperous and comfortable life as soon as possible Life.

But in the past few years, without Xiao Yuhan, her work pace is no longer so fast, but she still has no time to stop and think about her career plan.

Yan Lie's case was a great inspiration to her. When she was studying, she studied criminal law, so the lawsuits she has accepted until now have great limitations.

As for this type of lawsuit involving criminal cases, it is difficult not to touch those gray areas.

Criminals are human beings too, and they need defense attorneys too.

As lawyers, their duty is to defend their clients as best they can, and conflicts will inevitably arise.

So, Shen Yi thought...

"In the next year, I probably won't take any more cases." She looked at Shu Jiabao and said softly, "I'm out of money, you should find someone else."

Not accepting cases, not going to court, means that there is no source of income.

Apart from the law firm's year-end fixed dividends, she will not have any income.

So terminating the relationship with Shu Jiabao is also a matter of course.

And she also wants to go to country X to study and exchange ideas by the way. Compared with criminal cases, international law has a wider scope, more market, and a larger amount of money involved.

Of course, it is also the general trend of today.

But there's no need to tell Shu Jiabao about this, it's her own business.

And this sentence "find someone else" also has a taste of temptation in it.

Shen Yi knew that she had feelings for Shu Jiabao other than a lover, but this feeling was not enough to make her deviate from her desired life track.

She may like the other party, but it is far from reaching the level of being desperate.

So she also wanted to test her position in Shu Jiabao's heart.

Sure enough, the other party reacted greatly after hearing these words, and even stood up directly. The two of them just looked at each other up and down, and Shen Yi still sat on the chair without moving.

She looked at Shu Jiabao calmly, waiting for his reaction.

"Shen Yi, you seem to take people too lightly." Shu Jiabao said every word, with an unconcealable resentment on his face.

The words "find someone else" made her feel a strong sense of humiliation. She didn't understand how Shen Yi could casually say such insulting words. Couldn't they be sincere in getting along with each other for more than half a year?

Shu Jiabao turned around and left angrily.

It's just that after going out, she didn't leave immediately, but stayed in front of the restaurant for a short while, she thought that Shen Yi would at least come out and say "sorry" to herself, but she didn't.

Shen Yi had no intention of chasing after him at all.

After calming down, Shu Jiabao realized that he seemed to be provoked by Shen Yi again, the other party deliberately used the words "you go find someone else" to provoke her, in order to drive her away.

Whether it was "no money" or any other reason, in Shu Jiabao's view, it was just an excuse to quickly get rid of him.

Moreover, after half a year, the other party clearly knew that what he cared about was not money, nor was he short of money.

After she figured this out, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

So I stopped a car on the side of the road, reported an address, and went home.

Shu Jiabao went home, to the home she didn't go back to often, this was the first time she went home in these months.

——The Shu family is located in a villa area within the city center of A. People who can afford a villa here are all either rich or expensive, so when a taxi appears in this area, only It will make people feel very weird.

The owner of the house is away all year round, and the young lady Shu Jiabao doesn't come back often, so when Butler Lin saw her, he still couldn't believe it.

"Miss, why don't you tell me in advance when you come back, I'll..."

But before he finished speaking, Shu Jiabao interrupted him: "Uncle Lin, do you have the key to the garage at home?"

…………

Nuo Da’s underground garage, with the lights turned on, I saw row after row of luxury cars parked neatly. Some of these cars were bought by Shu Jiabao’s father when he was young, and some were bought by herself. They park almost every year. A new car comes in.

However, although some cars have not been driven for a long time, they have not shed dust, and there are people who arrange regular cleaning at home.

Shu Jiabao walked around the entire garage, and finally stopped in front of a big red Ferrari. She lowered her eyes and carefully looked at this car. This car was a birthday present from her family on her birthday last year.

It is limited to [-] units worldwide, and she only drives a little more diligently in the first two months after receiving it, and almost stops at home the rest of the time.

Thinking of this, she already had a decision in her heart.

Shen Yi wanted to get rid of her, but she was not an object, he had it when he wanted it, and threw it away when he didn't want it.

Just relying on the attitude of the other party, she can't do what the other party wants so easily.

Although the pretense of "no money" is easy to use, it is also very easy to break.

Thinking of this, Shu Jiabao turned and looked at Steward Lin who had been waiting there all along. She pointed to the car in front of her and said calmly, "Uncle Lin, give me the key to this car."

The author has something to say:

Two in one again, good night.
