You do not understand

There was no one in the cake shop at this time. Jiang Xun chose a place by the window, ordered a cup of the cheapest coffee, stirred it a few times, and heard the wind chime at the door. He looked up and saw that Duan Yanzhe was coming in from outside the door. , his eyes fell on his face accurately, and he nodded at him.

Duan Yanzhe looked dusty, and when he sat down, Jiang Xun could see the white shirt inside from his slightly opened coat, with some light red marks on it.

Although Jiang Xun was curious, he didn't say a word, but just handed him the plastic-wrapped menu on the table: "What do you want, I invite you."

Duan Yanzhe smiled and tilted his head forward: "What did you order?"

Jiang Xun said, "Black coffee."

Duan Yanzhe snorted, and said with interest: "Is it delicious?"

Jiang Xun was stunned, picked it up and took a sip: "It's not bad."

Duan Yanzhe rubbed his hands, stood up from his seat, and walked towards the cashier. Soon, he returned with the same cup of black coffee and sat down again.

The table was very small, and Duan Yanzhe barely huddled, his long legs were thrown out of the table, and his sitting posture was nondescript. He wanted to adjust it, but he didn't know how to adjust it, so he hid his legs in the hem of his coat randomly.

He took a sip of black coffee and asked, "What's the matter? Are you not going home again?"

Jiang Xun didn't pay attention to his actions, and kept his head down. Hearing Duan Yanzhe's question, he suddenly raised his head: "Lawyer Duan, can you do me a favor?"

Duan Yanzhe still had a faint smile, looking extraordinarily approachable: "What's the matter, tell me."

Jiang Xun looked at his smile, and a voice in his heart encouraged himself. He finally opened his mouth and said, "Lawyer Duan, my father invested the money in Ding Haoyi. Now that something happened to Ding Haoyi, my father knew that he was raising money illegally." , now there is no one investor who comes out to chase the money, this money...do you have a way to get it back?"

The amount of information in his words was astonishing, and Duan Yanzhe was a little overwhelmed: "What?"

"..." Jiang Xun realized that he was in a hurry, like pouring beans, he leaned back a little, and said it again, "In December, my dad did business with Ding Haoyi and invested in almost all of our family's money. Later, Ding Haoyi had a problem, and his property was probably confiscated. My dad only found out that he was raising funds illegally two days ago, and at the same time, the investors didn’t plan to take it for self-protection.”

"..."

"I heard you say that the procuratorate can distinguish, I think...you may have a way?"

After Jiang Xun finished speaking, he stared at Duan Yanzhe seriously with his black eyes.

Duan Yanzhe stopped laughing, and lowered his head to stir the coffee in front of him. After about a few seconds, he raised his head again: "Is this money a must? Let your dad earn more."

"..." Jiang Xun was stunned, unable to understand what he meant.

Seeing that Jiang Xun was silent, Duan Yanzhe went on to say: "If you keep the green hills, you may not have firewood. I'm afraid you don't know the manpower and material resources that will be used here..."

Jiang Xun understood, and hurriedly interrupted: "Lawyer Duan, I won't let you do it for nothing. I will pay your lawyer's fee. How much do you want?"

Duan Yanzhe pursed his lips: "It's not just about money."

"Ten thousand!" Jiang Xun sat up straight, holding the coffee cup with both hands, "Is ten thousand enough?...Or as a deposit?"

Duan Yanzhe frowned, and forced a smile: "I don't know what your father thinks now, but with this 1 yuan emergency, spend this time first, what do you think?"

"..." Jiang Xun fell silent.

As soon as he didn't speak, the pleasant atmosphere just now suddenly stiffened. Duan Yanzhe watched Jiang Xun lower his head slightly, staring at the black coffee in front of him, hiding his eyes in his broken hair.

Duan Yanzhe lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and finally asked the question in his heart: "Why does your father not only ignore you, but let you worry about him? To be honest, you are facing a critical juncture in your life now, and you are still in school. He can’t bear with all kinds of problems? Why tell you these messy things, can you solve them?”

Jiang Xun didn't expect him to say that, so he raised his head and stared at him.

Sensing his gaze, Duan Yanzhe breathed out the clouds nonchalantly, and amidst the smog he opened his mouth again: "Let's not talk about anything else, you may not really know what is going on between your father and Ding Haoyi. .If he wants to file this lawsuit, let him find a law firm, or come to our firm by himself. You are a minor and cannot replace him."

"..."

"Also, find evidence from the law firm. Does he have evidence to prove that Ding Haoyi is raising funds illegally? Empty words are useless—"

"My dad is in the hospital." Jiang Xun opened his mouth again, and said in a hurry: "Heart disease, it's very serious, and he's still in the Third Hospital, and he still needs money, and he can't get away at the moment."

"..." Duan Yanzhe was stunned, his brows frowned even more fiercely, and his tone became a little colder: "Since this is the case, why do you still give me 1 yuan? He doesn't spend money on medical treatment?"

Seeing that Jiang Xun was silent again, Duan Yanzhe flicked the cigarette ash, and said decisively: "Lawyers are not engaged in charity, and no matter how much I want to help you, I can't help you. This case has no evidence now, and secondly, it takes time and effort. You want to use this It is impossible to run it down with a little money."

Jiang Xun opened his mouth to speak, but Duan Yanzhe immediately interrupted him: "I know you mean you can give me [-] yuan first, but the follow-up costs may be huge. Your father's investment is coming back, maybe it's just to pay the lawyer's fee, maybe this The lawsuit cannot be won at all, so all the efforts have been in vain.”

"..."

"Think about it for yourself, and tell your dad. Rather than letting him wait for an unknown result, it's better to adjust his emotions and use the money to concentrate on treating the disease. We'll talk about it later."

Jiang Xun took a sip of coffee, and everything Duan Yanzhe said made sense, he knew it.

But reason doesn't always have the upper hand over emotion.

Duan Yanzhe didn't know their family's current difficulties, and didn't know what this sum of money meant to his father, that's why he said it so calmly.

"So, you don't want to?" Jiang Xun said lightly.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Duan Yanzhe was expressionless, and said as a matter of course: "This is not a matter of willingness or not. If you change any lawyer, as long as you weigh it, you will know that you can't do it."

"Okay." Jiang Xun nodded, seeing that Duan Yanzhe's cup of coffee had run out, he stood up from his seat: "That lawyer, I have to go."

Duan Yanzhe didn't know if it was in his own heart, or he thought he had noticed a trace of dissatisfaction that Jiang Xun hadn't concealed, so he tapped the table lightly with his finger: "Jiang Xun, don't think I'm unreasonable, it's for your own good."

Jiang Xun didn't stop moving, he put his schoolbag on his shoulder and let out a "huh".

Duan Yanzhe was dissatisfied with his answer, and wanted to speak again, but Jiang Xun suddenly said, "Lawyer Duan, if you were me, what would you do?"

Duan Yanzhe's open mouth closed instantly, he put out the cigarette, pursed his lips, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Then after a while, he raised his head again and said: "Do what I want to achieve the most and the easiest to achieve. I can't take into account other people's feelings one by one, so they have to adjust themselves. People can't be too greedy. If you want everything , often can’t do anything.”

Jiang Xun also showed an incomprehensible smile, raised his hand to Duan Yanzhe and wrote lightly, "I'm leaving."

After speaking, he took a few steps to the door without looking back, opened the door, and ran across the road.

Duan Yanzhe didn't move, and sat there watching Jiang Xun until his back disappeared. Duan Yanzhe was also relieved from the dark and intense atmosphere of the conversation, and felt the temperature of his body cool down, especially the part of his chest that was wet with red wine. A piece of ice cold.

He wrapped his coat tightly and got up to go home.

The family was happy and peaceful, when Duan Yanzhe entered, Duan Xingyue's daughter rushed towards him, "Hug, uncle!"

Duan Yanzhe picked her up, put her in the armpit, and walked to the sofa: "What delicious food does Niuniu eat at night?"

Ye Tingyi was watching TV, her eyes moved over, and suddenly she was a little angry: "You think Niuniu is your briefcase? Will you take care of the baby?"

Duan Yanzhe put the child on the sofa, and said with a smile, "Didn't you get your clothes dirty while drinking, hello, sister-in-law."

Niu Niu became anxious and shouted, "I still want my uncle to hug me!"

Mu Tong put down the fruit plate, and said to Niu Niu, "Don't make trouble, let uncle rest", then turned to Duan Yanzhe with a smile and said, "I'm back."

Ye Tingyi gave him a disgusted look: "It's getting more and more sloppy."

Duan Yanzhe didn't argue, just smiled, took off his coat and went upstairs.

Duan Xingyue was looking at his phone while walking down the stairs. When he saw Duan Yanzhe, he raised the phone and shook it: "The screen was swiped by Ding Haoyi's crap today."

Duan Yanzhe paused: "Then who will be transferred?"

Duan Xingyue shook his head: "Now the deputy will do it for me. I heard that there is a high possibility of transferring people from other places."

Duan Yanzhe said: "What's going on, is there any information about Ding Haoyi?"

Duan Xingyue wondered: "Why do you care about this?"

"I have a potential client that has something to do with this."

Duan Xingyue waved his hand: "You are overwhelmed, this case is not accepted, what potential clients, this is clearly looking for trouble for you, if you think you are living too well, just tell me."

"..."

"Pick up quickly, come down to eat fruit, and hug your niece."

Duan Yanzhe changed into home clothes, and when he reached the stairs, Niuniu hugged his thigh.

He lifted her buttocks, hugged her, and asked her to wrap his arms around his shoulders: "How about it, is kindergarten fun?"

Niuniu pinched his face and said bitterly: "It's not fun, someone bullied me."

"Who bullied you, how did you bully you?"

"Pull my braids, grab the Guoguo that the teacher gave me, and push me off the seesaw."

As she spoke, she rubbed her tender cheeks against Duan Yanzhe's chin. Mu Tong was still peeling oranges, but when he heard her words, he stopped his hands and hurried over, hugging Niu Niu in his arms: "Why don't you give it to Mom?" Say? Who pushed you, did any children hit you?"

Duan Xing looked at her more unbearably: "You are too exaggerated, it's like this among children, how can you think of beating someone from grabbing food?"

Mu Tong shook his head in disapproval: "Why don't you have any sense of crisis at all? Now elementary school students know how to fight in groups. Children may be bullied and won't express themselves."

"..."

She plugged the child's ears: "In my opinion, bullying classmates at school should be punished. The cost of crime is too low."

"Don't take it for granted." Duan Xingyue hugged Niu Niu and put it on his lap, "It's easy to say, the rule will trigger a series of social problems immediately, don't just look at it and be filled with righteous indignation."

Mu Tong said bitterly: "You are still a lawyer, so you can't have a sense of justice?"

Duan Xingyue sneered: "I don't have a sense of justice now? Besides, lawyers are not messengers of justice. What do you think, Yanzhe?"

Niuniu struggled from Duan Xingyue's lap to Duan Yanzhe's lap, and smiled at him.

Duan Yanzhe stroked her hair without saying a word.

Ye Tingyi looked at Duan Yanzhe and said, "I like children so much, when will I have my own?"

Duan Yanzhe pouted.

Ye Tingyi was about to be pissed off by his foolishness, Duan Yue who was reading the newspaper suddenly said, "That's right, don't think I'm young, when I was your age, I already found your mother."

Duan Yanzhe hugged Niu Niu's waist: "I never thought about it, I want to play for another two years, there is currently no suitable candidate."

As soon as Duan Yue's newspaper was released, he glared at him: "What do you mean playing for another two years? You have already spread your reputation far and wide for your playfulness, and you still think that the old Duan family's face hasn't been completely humiliated by you?"

Seeing Duan Yanzhe lower his head, Mu Tong hurriedly came out to make a rescue, and said half-jokingly, "Recently, a classmate of ours got married and found someone of the same sex. Would Yanzhe like a boy?"

Duan Xingyue secretly winked at her.

It's a pity that Mu Tong didn't see it, and continued: "Really, male-to-female marriages are popular recently. The boss of our company found Xinfei Technology's youngest son. It's very sweet. He even gave us a gift when we came back from our honeymoon."

Duan Yue snorted: "He goes to some entertainment places all day long, what kind of high-end men and women can he meet? Not to mention the youngest son of Xinfei Technology, I would be very happy to bring back a clean family. After thinking about it, It's just that Liao Xue is more compatible with him and doesn't dislike him."
