Xiao Lang Jing

The court that accepts class action cases is in Qinghe.After withdrawing from the turmoil, settling all the operations of the company, and taking annual leave with Zhao Meng, Song Qiran took Zhao Meng back to the city where he was born and grew up.

The Song family owns several properties in Qinghe. Originally, Song Qiran planned to take Zhao Mengxian back to his separate apartment for a transition night due to the sudden departure of the trip, and then formally return to the ancestral house to visit his parents early the next morning.But I don't know where Song's father and Song's mother got the good news, so they sent the old housekeeper and driver to stop Song Qiran and Zhao Meng at the entrance of the intercity expressway, and followed the car all the way back to the Song family's villa.

Not to mention how delicate Zhao Meng's mood was.

He is a 30-year-old who seems to be more than half past, and it is the first time that he is sitting in the back seat with an ugly daughter-in-law to see his in-laws, waiting to be ushered in. He is embarrassed and nervous, and the meeting with Song's parents It was a stroke of genius, he was completely unprepared. When Song Qiran went home with him, he had done his homework a long time in advance and prepared a suitcase full of gifts, but now he is empty-handed and can't even do the basic etiquette. After a while, I have to calmly introduce myself and explain my relationship with Song Qiran in front of the two elders.

He couldn't open that mouth at all.

No matter how you look at him, he looks like a kidnapper with evil intentions, defrauding someone innocent and cute who has high hopes for him.

Of course Song Qiran was aware of Zhao Meng's embarrassment, he wanted to comfort the people around him, but because he lived alone in the provincial capital for many years and didn't go home often, he had some relationship with his parents, even he didn't like their reaction when they saw Zhao Meng. too accurate.In fact, he was no less nervous than Zhao Meng, but what he worried about was the excessive enthusiasm that his parents might not be able to control.

They owed their only son something because of what happened ten years ago. When they urged him to fall in love, Father Song had already exaggerated to the point of wanting him and his partner to be called brothers, and even discussed with him about the ownership of the company's shares. question.Song Qiran understands that they want to make up for their feelings, but such unconventional enthusiasm is often more shrinking than cold rejection.

Zhao Meng is not a thick-skinned person, and he doesn't have much experience in love. Although he is not young, he still looks like a pure boy in his emotional mode. Song Qiran worried that his parents would be too straightforward and would scare him .

Zhao Meng suddenly sighed heavily beside him.

"What's wrong?" Song Qiran squeezed his palm.

"Tell me later, if my mother-in-law asks if I have a car or a house in the provincial capital, how should I answer?"

Song Qiran laughed out loud.

"My mother would never ask you such a question."

He pushed Zhao Meng lightly, but told him in a soft voice:

"Then you tell my mother, you have me is enough."

Zhao Meng looked at him in disbelief.

"In your eyes, am I the one who can say such things without changing my face?"

"It doesn't matter if you say such things with a smile on your face."

Zhao Meng never dreamed that at the door of Song Qiran's house, the little guy who suddenly became naughty choked hard.His shriveled appearance is very interesting, he was a bit caught off guard, and he felt helpless when he wanted to get angry but couldn't. Even Zhao Meng himself didn't notice that the one who had raised his hand to pinch Song Qiran finally changed it to hug someone How pampering is the movement in the arms.

Song Qiran's heart felt warm.He thought that Zhao Meng didn't need to say anything, his parents were sophisticated and discerning people, as long as Zhao Meng appeared there, they would know that his son had never missed this person.

Regardless of background and personal achievements, Zhao Meng has the most gentle and tolerant heart for Song Qiran in the world, which cannot be replaced by anything.As long as he is there, it is far enough.

The car stopped, and through the car window, Song Qiran had already seen the gate of his villa, and there were many people standing in front of the gate, but Song Qiran didn't see his parents, he opened the car door and walked down, facing him to stop him. The person at the gate called "Second Uncle".

Song Xincheng's face was sullen, and seeing Zhao Meng get out of the car following Song Qiran, his eyes became even more dissatisfied.

"Brother and sister-in-law are waiting for you inside." That sentence, he only said to his nephew, "You haven't been home for a long time, remember to talk to them more when you go in later."

As for Zhao Meng, he waved to Song Qiran.

"I've discussed it with your parents. You go first. Officer Zhao, I'll borrow it for a while. I have something to say and I want to talk to him first. After the talk, I'll send him back in person."

Song Qiran immediately became nervous.

"Second uncle, is there anything you can't say at home?"

"Do you also remember that this is the Song family?"

Song Xincheng's sudden words made Song Qiran startled, and then lowered his head.He was rarely so direct and severe, and he would always hold his nephew in his hands like his own child, but when he really showed his usual aggressive demeanor in officialdom, he would create a An atmosphere that no one else can comment on.

Zhao Meng speculated that Song Xinmin, who had never shown up here at this time, must have acquiesced in his brother's way of pulling people halfway.

Song Qiran's expression seemed to be very tangled. Although the reasons were different, Zhao Meng still remembered the heavy embarrassment in his heart when he faced his parents in his hometown in Yicheng. He didn't want to embarrass the little guy, so he took the lead in pointing at Song Xincheng. nod.

"I'll go with you," he said, "but you have to tell Qi Ran where we're going later, he won't be relieved if you don't tell him, and you don't want him to go home so rarely that he's always restless, right? .”

Song Xincheng frowned tightly, very unhappy.But seeing his nephew take another step forward with a sincere face, he finally didn't clenched the corners of his mouth, and replied in a low voice, "Go to my office."

Under Song Qiran's concerned gaze, Zhao Meng followed Song Xincheng into another car.Song Xincheng's office is not far away, but only a 10-minute drive away.Zhao Meng noticed that the driver changed lanes on the way and did not directly pass the road in front of the city hall as instructed by the navigation.

"The timing of your visit is not right." Song Xincheng seemed to have guessed what Zhao Meng was thinking, and said first, "During this time, there will be citizens sitting in front of the government office building from time to time to express their support."

"Sit quietly?" Zhao Meng was surprised.

"Yue Lan's search plan has been announced on the Internet one step ahead." Song Xincheng said unhappily, "The matter of class action lawsuits has now been put on the agenda. I don't know where they found volunteers. They have been in succession in the past two days. Arriving in Qinghe from other places, the municipal party committee issued a notice to stabilize the law and order, and all major long-distance bus stations, railway stations, and airports have to send additional personnel to be on duty, and even I don’t have enough people.”

After Song Xincheng finished speaking, he suddenly gave Zhao Meng a stern look.

"They did this because I withheld some of the materials in Yue Lan's hands. Do you understand now? Those people are unscrupulous in order to achieve their goals. I even lenient Yue Lan himself, but they insisted on That ridiculous lawsuit has attracted the attention of the media, yet you let Qiran come back to Qinghe at this time, Zhao Meng, what are you pretending to be?"

Zhao Meng immediately understood the source of the hidden anger in Song Xincheng's tone.He hesitated for a moment, but still told him:

"Secretary Song, in fact... Qiran has already made a decision. He will participate in the lawsuit."

"You think I can't figure it out?" Song Xincheng asked back, "He is immature, and you are going crazy too?"

After he taught Zhao Meng that sentence, he stopped talking. After a while, the car stopped in the parking lot of the government compound.Zhao Meng followed Song Xincheng's footsteps through layers of security guards and entered his small office building.

There, Song Xincheng showed Zhao Meng the materials he kept in his hands for the first time.

Many of them are directly related to Song Qiran.

The diagnosis records and conversation recordings of the psychological counselor, the video of the electric shock in the special treatment room of the rehabilitation center, the reading notes Song Qiran handed in during his stay in the hospital, the video of his speech in the morning class, and the examination report of the last physical examination before he was discharged from the hospital.

Song Xincheng slapped the whole document bag on the table, the water in the teacup rippled under Zhao Meng's nose, and spilled some on the table.

"Do you know what these are called?" Song Xincheng asked.

"These... are all Qi Ran's information."

"This is called evidence!" Song Xincheng yelled, "The class action is a lawsuit against public institutions and government departments, and all the trial process is open! There is no privacy agreement! Do you understand what this means! "

He was so angry that he threw the document bag in Zhao Meng's chest directly.

"It took ten years for Qiran to come out of the shadows of the past! You want him to testify in court now? What to do? Let the whole country know that he has a history of mental illness? Know his sexual orientation? Or know that he eats How much suffering? I told you, it is impossible to win this lawsuit! Is it possible that the result is the same, are you crazy or stupid and let him get involved with that group of people? "

"I don't want to." Zhao Meng replied beyond Song Xincheng's expectations, his tone was firm, not like irrational words, "If I had a choice, I just want him to stay away from all these things, I wish he would never remember That memory, even if he doesn't remember that he ever liked me, it doesn't matter. But I am not the person involved, Qi Ran is. All of us, including Qi Ran's parents, have no right to influence his decision. Secretary Song, he is a Adult, the smartest, kindest, strongest, bravest adult I've ever met. I would do nothing but support his decision."

"Bastard!" Song Xincheng cursed suddenly, "Zhao Meng, stop pretending to stay out of it. What I'm talking about with you isn't just about the class action lawsuit! You think it's all about the rehabilitation center case Is it related? Think carefully about who is the source of it? How dare you follow Qiran back to the Song family, how dare you face his parents. If Qiran was not because of you, what kind of life would he be living now? ? He has the Song family and me, will he live a little bit of unhappiness?"

Zhao Meng's face turned pale in the face of Song Xincheng's accusation.He moved his lips, but didn't speak back.

"I know what you're thinking." Song Xincheng sneered, "You're thinking that you don't know. You don't know anything, so you are innocent. But have you ever thought about Qiran's parents? The eldest brother and sister-in-law will know one day To tell the truth, if Qiran participates in the lawsuit, they will even learn about everything in the most painful and embarrassing way. How do you want them to face you in the future? Treat you as a family and hand over Qiran with peace of mind. Is it in your hands, or when I see you, I think of the hardships and tortures my only son has suffered for you? Poor parents in the world, Zhao Meng, you feel your conscience and say, can you face them? !"

Zhao Meng's eyes flickered for a moment, and he clenched his fists, showing a struggle.

Song Xincheng stared at him coldly, waiting for his answer.

Who knew Zhao Meng laughed.Song Xincheng's words did hurt him, but that pain was really nothing to Zhao Meng now.

"I know what you want to say." He just replied, "But if I am shaken because of this little thing, how can I take care of the little guy for the rest of his life? You don't need to persuade me, I won't persuade Qiran to change his mind."

Song Xincheng stared at him for a long time, until he couldn't help himself, and he lowered his head and laughed.

Song Xincheng's smile contained unwilling annoyance, but he was still smiling after all.

"Yes," he said, pointing at Zhao Meng, "I haven't read many books, but at least I have some backbone."

Zhao Meng breathed a sigh of relief.Sure enough, he thought.

"Actually, you don't have to try me." Zhao Meng said, "No matter what happens, no matter how many difficulties there will be in the future, I will never be a deserter, nor will I leave Qi Ran alone and let him face everything alone."

"Fart, who cares to test you." Song Xincheng scolded, "I simply don't want to hand over such a good child to you. But for a child who is not so determined and stubborn, I have let you go. He is far away."

Unfortunately he is not, Zhao Meng thought with a smile, he only likes me.

"Secretary, I will protect him." Zhao Meng assured Song Xincheng again.

Song Xincheng shook his head.

"Don't call me a secretary, I won't be a secretary from next week."

Zhao Meng was stunned.

"I said earlier that if the lawsuit must be fought, I will resign immediately to avoid suspicion." Song Xincheng saw that Zhao Meng wanted to say something, and raised his hand to stop him, "This is my decision, and Qi Of course it doesn't matter. The Song family can't raise children who are indecisive, we are only responsible for the decisions we make, you don't need to feel that I have been burdened."

When he said this, he changed the subject at the same time, washed away his usual majestic appearance for the first time, and looked at Zhao Meng calmly.

Zhao Meng remembered Song Qiran's evaluation of Song Xincheng in the past, saying that he was originally a considerate and open-minded person.

At this moment, Song Xincheng looked at Zhao Meng with an ironic gentleness in his eyes, not like an elder, but like a kind brother.

"Since you don't call him Secretary anymore, let's call him Second Uncle instead."
