In the name of love

Lu and Ji Lan sat there drinking for a while, but no one came to harass them.

But Yulu reasonably thinks that it's because he and Ji Lan came in together, most people would think that Ji Lan is his companion, old asses like them know the unspoken rules in the circle more or less, if they want to find someone to comfort, they go to the banquet, I won't bother the couple who just want to enjoy a romantic evening.

"Well... you just said that your elder brother came to see you yesterday? Is he, is his life going well after marriage?"

Realizing that he should start some topics, Yulu made the opening remarks first.Although it was Ji Lan who said he wanted to have a long chat with him, Ji Lan had remained silent since he came in, quietly sipping the juice in his hand as usual.

"Well, Jize and sister-in-law are fine."

Ji Lan warmed the wine glass with both hands, "Ji Ze had a girlfriend who had been with him for a long time. When he was studying for a doctorate in the United States, that girlfriend abandoned Ji Ze for some reason. At that time, Ji Ze was very depressed and even committed suicide. I was in Cornell at the time, and I drove fourteen hours overnight across the continent to find him and get him back from hell."

Yulu listened to him tell the past.

"So it's great that he can have a wife who likes him and a happy family like he is now. The child's due date seems to be next spring, and Jize is very happy."

Yulu observed Ji Lan's expression, but as usual, when Ji Lan talked about things related to herself, her expression was always extraordinarily indifferent, as if she was suppressing or hiding something.

"You...you brothers from the Ji family seem to have a good relationship?" Yulu asked.

Ji Lan glanced at him unexpectedly, and then said thoughtfully: "How is your relationship?...Actually, only Ji Ze is the only one I know well. We are similar in age, and we played together since we were young."

He talked about his own affairs, "But Ji Ze and I were not born to the same mother. Ji Ze's mother died of a sudden illness, and my mother is my father's successor. I have another younger brother of the same blood, that is my third brother Ji Hong, he is working as an accountant in L city now, but we usually meet each other during the holidays, so we seldom contact each other."

Ji Lan suddenly laughed for some reason, "It's amazing to say that, although he is not the closest brother, Ji Ze gives my family the most feeling, just like a senior."

Yulu found that she couldn't look directly at Ji Lan's smiling face.

"Then... what about your fourth and fifth brothers? I remember that there are five brothers in your family."

"Five brothers, three sisters, my father had three wives and a mistress, so our family is very prosperous."

Ji Lan shrugged helplessly, "The fourth brother was born to his mistress, but we all treat him as an ordinary brother. He is an excellent doctor in the Radiology Department of City G. Speaking of which, someday I have the opportunity, I should introduce him to you." You should know the fourth brother and the senior, maybe one day the senior can help the fourth brother."

Lawyers, doctors, and accountants... The eldest brother is still the heir to the president. The rich and powerful families that only appear in TV dramas really exist in the world. Yulu, whose father is unknown, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He didn't wait for Yuli to ask again, and went on, "As for the younger brother...he is the strangest one in our family. Study in a foreign school arranged by my father, and study in an art university in China."

Ji Lan sighed lightly, "I used to study a lot of scripts for him, wondering why these things attracted him so much, but his thinking is indeed very different from that of our family."

Yulu couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect you to be a good brother."

Ji Lan was taken aback, her cheeks were rarely flushed, "It's always my family, and that younger brother is Jize's favorite since he was a child. Every year, seeing my younger brother absent from the family banquet, Ji Ze will be very lonely."

At this moment, the vodka ordered by Yulu came in, it was made into a bright red wine, and a cold green swizzling stick was inserted on it, which had a very strange atmosphere.Yulu picked it up and took a sip, and suddenly a feeling of warmth burned into her lower abdomen. In Yulu's eyes, Ji Lan's reddish side cheeks were as beautiful as a Greek statue, and Yulu suddenly had the urge to kiss her desperately.

"Why does Ji Lan... want to be a lawyer?"

He quickly changed the subject, suppressing the old deer in his chest.

If Yulu became a lawyer for Sam, with Ji Lan's qualifications, she should be outstanding no matter what industry she is engaged in. There is really no need to stay in this circle of criminals and lies all day long.

"In the beginning, I thought that the law might help the Ji family's business, so I wanted to choose an industry that could help the family at critical times."

Ji Lan spoke leisurely.

"But after actually practicing, I unconsciously dealt with criminal cases. In the process of defending others...sometimes I feel that as I win the case, as the judge is persuaded by you...it seems that I am also affirmed. what."

"Is it like 'I am indeed right'?" Yulu asked with a smile.

"No, it's not something so superficial."

Ji Lan closed her eyes slightly, "Rather than saying that the court is a place to find the truth, it is better to say...it is the place where all the people involved find the answer. Judges, prosecutors, lawyers, victims, informers, and attorneys And witnesses...everyone is the same, what they seek is not the 'truth' that really happened in the past, but an 'answer' that satisfies them."

He opened his dark eyes under the lens, "Sometimes it's very interesting to stand in court and look at all kinds of people. A court session may only last less than an hour, but you can see many people in it." A person's life. What he has experienced in the past, what he is suffering now, and what kind of blueprint he has drawn for the future... In the courtroom, in the one-meter-square podium, there is nothing to hide. "

Ji Lan took a deep breath and squeezed the wine glass tightly in her hand.

"I think it's because of this... that I find the courtroom fascinating, and I choose to become a lawyer."

Yulu is a little dazed, he has been watching this junior lawyer all the time, Yulu always feels that Ji Lan is like a precise litigation machine, he is not particularly happy when he wins the case, and he is not discouraged when he loses the case, just like Ji Lan himself said, "It's just Do what I should do', enter instructions, insert coins, and Robert Ji Lan will serve you to the end.

This was the first time that Ji Lan confessed her thoughts in front of him. For some reason, Yulu felt her nose a little sore, but it was not because she was moved.

"That prosecutor...is very difficult to deal with."

The two drank quietly for a while, and Ji Lan suddenly spoke again.The voice is deep and low, which belongs to the tone of work.

"You can tell from the content of his indictment. He praised the defendant from the very beginning. All the favorable personality traits of Ye Chang that we investigated earlier were included in the facts of the indictment. In this way, Even if we brought up these things in subsequent trials, it would have little effect on swaying the judge."

Ji Lan interlaced her fingers and pressed them against her lips, covering half of her face.

"Even if we can produce evidence that Chang Ye once worked as a volunteer in a children's placement center, the judge will feel that even though Chang Ye was a good person, he has changed because of the oppression of the church. What's more, the more we put the 'before The better Ye Chang's speech, the stronger the contrast afterwards, and the easier it is for the judge to accept the statement that 'the defendant has changed'."

Ji Lan let out a long breath.

"This is a very clever technique. No prosecutor I have met in the past has ever done this. I think he knows my image manipulation technique very well. He blocked all the paths I could go in advance. My past None of these methods will work in this case.”

"As expected of a prosecutor with a [-]% conviction rate..." Yulu sighed.

Ji Lan nodded, "I'm afraid he has studied all the cases I have fought, and not only against me, I have also watched the courts he has held a little bit. He will change his prosecution strategy according to the style of different lawyers, which is very important. Formidable opponent."

Seeing Ji Lan's serious expression, Yulu rubbed his lips with the side of his finger.

"Mrs. Ye's matter is also very difficult. I originally wanted to apply for her to testify, but I gave up because of Mr. Ye Chang's mood."

Ji Lan said while rubbing her fingers together.

"Mrs. Ye is Ye Chang's biggest weakness. He always feels sorry for his wife. He is afraid that Ye Chang will collapse before Mrs. Ye speaks in the next court session. I think this is what Prosecutor Ai wants. He doesn't need it." Asking more questions, just confirming his husband's sexual orientation to Mrs. Ye, whether Ye Chang can bear it is still a problem."

Ji Lan sighed, "And he added it in court. If I had applied before, I could slowly think about the reasons for refusing Mrs. Ye as a witness, but in that situation, I was completely caught off guard. I have to say that he really Very clever, and a formidable opponent."

"Is there no other way? How about applying for refusal afterwards?" Yulu asked.

Ji Lan habitually raised her long leg and straddled the other leg, making her figure more elegant and slender.

"The prosecutor wants to pass it on, let him pass it on!"

After a long while, Ji Lan said that Yulu saw him rubbing the five fingers of his right hand, as if he was thinking about something.

"Thanks to Ai Jian, let Mrs. Ye become our hostile witness. Cross-examination can do much more than cross-examination. I will let him know that it is not worth the loss for him to take this risk."

Looking at Ji Lan's sharp eyes like ice skates, Yulu couldn't help swallowing.This man always seems to be like this. When talking about work, he is completely different from Ji Lan who rarely talked about his personal affairs just now.

"No way, we really don't have many ways to go in this case."

Ji Lan also seemed to find that she had
