Chasing

When Wei Yi went home, he first discussed with his son about going to the court to take notes on Wednesday.

He said to Wei Wenxi: "You also know that your mother sued me to get back your custody rights. The court will start next week. The judge wants to hear your opinion. Dad will pick you up at noon on Wednesday and go to the court to make a record. Then you don't have to go to the court, and I'll send you back to school when it's done, do you think it's okay?"

Wei Wenxi rolled her eyes and asked Wei Yi, "I really don't need to go to court?"

"No, I made a record for you, which means you have appeared in court."

"That's fine, I'll go. As long as I don't see her." Wei Wenxi agreed.

Wei Yi rubbed his son's head, and assured him: "Don't worry about this."

On Wednesday, Wei Yi simply took a day off. He sent his son to school in the morning, and then ran to Yu Wei's place to stay.Yu Wei's moving company is busy on weekends, and usually there is not much work. When Wei Yi arrived there, Yu Wei and Liao Bin were sitting in the office watching a movie. Seeing Wei Yi coming, Yu Wei was quite surprised: "My Mom, what kind of wind brought you here?"

"There is a strong northerly wind in spring."

"Why didn't you go to work? Isn't this the season of the year for you to prevent fire?"

Wei Yi said: "Zhang Xinrui wanted Wen Xi's custody back, so he sued me. Wen Xi didn't want to see his mother, and didn't want to go to court, so the court said he should make a record to hear his opinion. Good as evidence. The judge asked me to go in the afternoon, so I simply took a day off. Didn’t I just send my child to school? Go to the court for the record."

"She even sued you, she's really shameless." Yu Wei turned to Liao Bin and said, "I told you that your brother Wei's ex-wife has ignored Wen Xi for more than ten years, and put her on the bed. The child went abroad as soon as he threw it away, and he didn't even pay child support, but he was ashamed to ask for custody rights, yes, he said before that he would remarry."

Liao Bin said: "I guess I just want to fight for it."

"Fart, it's because you brother Wei is honest and easy to bully. If you want me to tell you, that guy Xiao Han is really good, and he will come out after a comparison. By the way, Wei Yi, is Xiao Han still chasing you now?" Yu Wei She started making fun of Han Jifei and pretended to care about him.

"You can pull it down, can't you be serious?" Wei Yi didn't answer directly.

"Am I not serious?" Yu Wei smiled, then straightened his body, and asked him with a serious face: "How are you and Xiao Han now? Be lenient when you confess, and strict when you resist." Seriousness has become seriousness, the Oscar should give him a Best Actor award.

Wei Yi shook his head and said, "I don't even have any thoughts about him. He scolded me some time ago, and within a few days, he posted it cheekily again."

"Hey..." Yu Wei sighed, and lamented, "What's this called? The man is ruthless, but the concubine is interested."

Wei Yi punched Yu Wei, and said, "Every day, if you don't make fun of me, you can't live, can you?"

"Yes." Yu Wei laughed even worse.

Wei Yi waited at Wei Wei's place until his son finished school at noon, and he happened to ask the teacher for leave, so he picked Wei Wenxi away.The father and son ate, went home and rested for a while, and went to the court when the time came.

Judge Sun found a trial court and asked the clerk to make records for her. She asked Wei Wenxi, "You know your mother sued your father, do you want to get back your custody?"

Wei Wenxi replied: "I know."

"So what do you think? Do you want to live with your father? Or with your mother?"

"Aunt Judge, the person called my mother, I have seen her once since I was a child, and she ran to school to find me. If she didn't tell me, who would know that she was my mother? I don't want to see her at all, and I don't think she is my mother, because I never got any maternal love, my father raised me as both a father and a mother, and I couldn't choose to live with her."

Wei Wenxi's logic is clear, his language is sharp, and he has a maturity that does not match his age. The clerk was a little surprised, stopped typing, and looked at the judge in confusion.

Judge Sun said to the clerk, "You just need to memorize it according to what he said. A child at this age already has his own ideas."

The clerk nodded, and tapped his fingers on the keyboard again.

"Then what else do you want?" Judge Sun asked again.

"I hope she will stop bothering my dad and me in the future."

Judge Sun smiled, and said to Wei Yi, "Your son will definitely grow up to be great."

Wei Yi knew that his son had objections to his mother, but he did not expect to be so angry in front of an unfamiliar judge. He put his arms around Wei Wenxi's shoulders and said to the clerk, "Please, explain what my son just said. Remember, don’t miss it.”

"Yes." The clerk girl agreed.

The judge asked Wei Wenxi a few more innocuous questions, and then the clerk typed out the transcript, and Wei Wenxi signed her name on it, and then pressed her thumbprint.

Wei Yi gave the statement of defense to the judge, and then led his son away.

What puzzled Wei Yi was that just a few days before the trial, Judge Sun called him and told him that Zhang Xinrui had withdrawn the lawsuit.Without even thinking about it, Wei Yi blurted out and asked why.

The judge said: "I called her to do some work, and read to her the record of your son. The next day, she told me that she wanted to withdraw the lawsuit. She didn't say the specific reason. It is estimated that knowing the odds of winning is almost Zero. Let’s have a good talk between you adults, don’t start a lawsuit every now and then, it’s not very interesting, and it’s a waste of trial resources.”

"Yes, thank you, Judge Sun."

"What are you polite, I will give you a ruling in a few days."

"Row."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Yi felt so relieved that he finally didn't have to go to court to face Zhang Xinrui again.Unexpectedly, on the way home, Zhang Xinrui called him and asked him to have dinner with him.

Wei Yi thought for a while, and still agreed, just like what the judge said, it's better for adults to have a good chat if they have something to do.He set the place at the coffee shop at the gate of Han Jifei's community, but Zhang Xinrui smiled and said to him, "You really don't want to have a meal with me?"

"There's food there too," Wei Yi said.

When Wei Yi arrived, Zhang Xinrui was already waiting inside. She was wearing a ponytail, a black coat, and light makeup. She was more energetic than the last time I saw her.

Wei Yi sat across from her, flipped through the menu brought by the waiter, and ordered a plate of pasta and a drink.And there was a plate of chicken salad in front of Zhang Xinrui, nothing else.

"You just eat this?"

"We're losing weight." Zhang Xinrui said.

"Oh."

The two didn't have much to say when they met, and Wei Yi didn't have the nerve to ask her why she withdrew the lawsuit, as if it seemed that he didn't have enough lawsuits.

On the contrary, Zhang Xinrui spoke first: "Actually, I also know that I have gone too far, and I also know that I can't win this lawsuit, but I just want to try." She smiled, looking a little sad, " That day I went to school to see Wenxi, he didn't know me, I said I was his mother, he just looked at me coldly, with hatred on his face, I don't know why a child can behave like this, so I just I really wanted to bring him back to me. Later, I didn’t wake up until the judge told me what Wen Xi said to him. This probably exhausted Wen Xi’s last bit of expectation for my mother, so I withdrew the lawsuit."

"It's good that you know." Wei Yi responded bluntly.

Zhang Xinrui ate a mouthful of salad, and then asked him, "By the way, when will you get married?"

Wei Yi didn't expect Zhang Xinrui to mention this, and he was not mentally prepared at all, "Oh, oh, it's not decided yet."

"You stumble when you lie. You lied to me last time."

"..." Wei Yi didn't say anything.

Zhang Xinrui smoothed his ponytail and said: "I will leave in May. When Wen Xi grows up, if he wants to study abroad, tell him to consider my side. I will do my best to take care of him. After all, he is my son." Son. I know it’s too late for me to say anything now, who made me fail to fulfill my responsibility as a mother.”

Now that Zhang Xinrui said so, Wei Yi didn't know how to speak. The two finished their meal in relative silence. Zhang Xinrui excused something and left first. Wei Yi sat there drinking the drink in the cup with a straw in his mouth. With divine skill, Han Jifei actually appeared opposite him.

"Why are you here?" Wei Yi asked him as he spat out the straw.

Han Jifei said: "I came here sitting nearby, and you didn't look at me. I heard you calling in the car, and I was a little worried, so I came over to have a look."

Wei Yi smiled: "I'm already such an adult, what are you worried about?"

"Seeing that you're all right after talking, I'm relieved again."

"Stinky boy."

Han Jifei smiled, leaned on the sofa, and looked at him quietly.

Wei Yi was not at ease, so he invited the waiter to pay his table and Han Jifei's bill together, but the waiter told him: "You two tables have already settled separately, what else do you want?"

Wei Yi looked at Han Jifei in surprise, and Han Jifei pointed to the seat where he was sitting just now and said, "It's just a piece of cake, and it's not too expensive."

"Okay." Wei Yi stood up and said, "Then I'll go home first."
