What Comes Around Goes Around

After closing several cases in a row, Cheng Yao was free and had an appointment with Tan Ying, who had finished her annual leave.

This night, Tan Ying brought some breaking news.

"Suddenly, Liang Par resigned! Not long after joining Jun Heng, and there was no sign, he resigned suddenly. We didn't know what was going on, but the partners in the office jointly issued a notice yesterday. The reason for Liang's resignation was that we found out that she had lost the evidence you last time. After thorough investigation, Qian Par asked her to take the blame and resign."

Cheng Yao paused while holding the chopsticks: "Why is that still involved? Will it be investigated thoroughly? Hasn't it been a while?"

Tan Ying rolled her eyes: "Forget it, your business is nothing trivial in Qian Par's eyes. He has been verifying your name for a long time. Because of this announcement, a female par actually made such a low-level mistake. And also let the assistant lawyers of the team behind them. Anyway, Liang still has a reputation and cannot be confused in the legal circle of City A. I heard that she can only leave City A and go to City B to develop. This woman is true. It's hypocritical enough that even I thought she was a good person at the beginning. Now the reviews of her in the office are really messed up, it's too bad, we all think she is jealous of Qian par likes you..."

Cheng Yao was not without emotion. In the past, she really thought that one day, she would be able to pierce Liang’s hypocritical face in front of the public. However, now that she learned that Liang was still self-reliant, her heart was not violently comfortable. sense.

Since joining the BRICs and slowly using a case to prove herself, she discovered that a person is strong enough that she would not be considered in the unexpected world at all. Life is alive and you will never be able to prevent anyone from misunderstanding. However, at this time, instead of chasing down those who misunderstand yourself to dispel rumors, explain and clarify, it is better to be yourself, speak with achievements, and slap your face with actions.

Tan Ying rolled her eyes: "To be honest, what happened to you and Qian Par? Just broke up like this? Can you get back together?"

Cheng Yao ate a piece of beef and quickly changed the subject: "This meat is good, you have a piece."

"Fine, not to talk about money par, but still gossip in the chat, do you know? Wang Lu and Li Minglei are going to get married! The two finally have no love, this time it’s made public, and they have gone to take wedding photos! Now I'm showing affection in the house all day and feeding us dog food!"

Cheng Yao looked at the wedding photos of Wang Lu and Li Minglei in Tan Ying's mobile phone, blessing and a little complicated envy. Obviously trying to restrain himself, but still can't help thinking of that man.

"Yeah, I forgot to say. Li Meng has just handed in her resignation letter. She was interviewed by her tutor lawyer last week, saying that she goes to work on time every day and never works overtime, and she has a sense of being a lawyer. No, I didn't take the initiative to do things. I thought I was in a state-owned enterprise. I didn't adjust my mentality. I also handled the case step by step. I didn't have any enthusiasm. She led the lawyer to euphemistically said that she felt she was not suitable to be a lawyer."

Tan Ying's face was a little relieved: "I really deserve it. I didn't work hard and I was always jealous of others. She didn't say bad things about you behind her when you left. What's the use? She is not as skilled as people who don't want to grow. Now she is dissuaded. , Make your own feeling!" Tan Ying said here, glanced at her mouth, "I have also noticed the interns who chewed their tongues behind their backs before. During the assessment, none of the interns stayed, because they were all unqualified. Not surprisingly, how can serious people gossip in the tea room every day?"

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they talked a little bit more before returning home happily.

——

Just bid farewell to Tan Ying, and Qin Qin, who was too busy recently to lose contact, actually called Cheng Yao.

"Hey, Yaoyao, I have a case source."

"It's my boss. Something has happened to her family, and an inheritance lawsuit may be required."

Cheng Yao heard that there was a case, and quickly entered the working state: "What's the matter?"

"As far as my boss, you know, Chen Linli, my current public relations company was founded by her and her husband Zhang Kai. She is the named director of the company and is responsible for managing personnel and administration."

"Something happened to the old man in her family?"

"No." Qin Qin sighed, "Flying misfortune, her husband and son had an accident. A few months ago, the family of three went to Turkey on vacation and took a hot air balloon. As a result, there was an accident when the hot air balloon landed. She threw it out, and although she was immediately sent to the hospital, her husband and children were not rescued."

Cheng Yao was stunned. Qin Qin's boss also heard a little bit about her. She was slim and she heard that she was very beautiful. Although her family was poor, she was very motivated in school and work. Zhang Kai’s father opened a small factory. He was not very wealthy, but he was kind-hearted and loved to do charity. He used to be Chen Linli’s patron. He would uniformly invite the poor students who were funded to come to the house for a reunion dinner during the holidays. , Chen Linli and Zhang Kai met with each other, and they began to fall in love. Although their family identities are far apart, the two men eventually cultivated Zhengguo, got married, and had a son, Zhang Ran.

Although Zhang Kai has a wealthy family background, Zhang Kai chose to start his own business and founded Kelly Culture. He is one of the dark horses in the public relations industry. Not only has he made great achievements in the field of public relations and marketing consulting, Zhang Kai has a firm vision and used the company's surplus to invest in various industries such as real estate, energy and the Internet. Now he directly established Kaili Holdings, with a net worth of nearly 10 billion.

"The situation in her family is like this. Her parents disappeared a long time ago. Her father-in-law also went a few years ago. Her husband is the only child, so the family now only has her and her mother-in-law Huang Ran." Qin Qin sighed She sighed, "Her mother-in-law has always been at odds with her. Before, when she was in love with her husband, her mother-in-law had always intervened. Now her son and grandchildren are gone. Seeing her is like meeting an enemy. After two trips, she said that she had a bad life and killed her son and grandson."

"Now her mother-in-law is biting her to death, and she is fighting for her death and life for the inheritance. You know, she usually takes good care of me, and I want to help. She also hired many well-known lawyers before, but for the next, I feel that No, I changed several times in a row. Last week, at the first trial, the verdict seemed to be unkind to her. She was going to appeal for a second-instance to change a lawyer, but she didn’t find a good one. I will tell you about the cases you have dealt with. She is pretty good. Interested, you can meet her and chat if you have no problem."

Cheng Yao entered the BRICS as an independent practicing lawyer. There is no lawyer to teach, so no one will divide the source of the case for her. If she wants to develop, the pressure to expand the source of the case is on her own head, facing Qin Qin’s kindness After she thanked, she immediately made an appointment with Chen Linli while the iron was hot.

——

Chen Linli set the time for the next morning, and the place was a quiet tea house.

Cheng Yao arrived first, and not long after, Chen Linli also appeared on time.

Suddenly lost love, but still two, shocked her whole body a little tottering, the originally small skeleton looked thinner, as if the cold wind blows, Chen Linli can be blown down, but it gives Cheng Yao a deep impression. What impressed her was Chen Linli's face. She was very, very beautiful, the kind of beauty that made one look unforgettable, but beauty was beautiful. At this moment, she could not hide her pale face and bloodshot eyes.

"Lawyer Cheng, hello, I think Qin Qin has introduced me to you." Chen Linli spoke very softly, like water, "The situation in my case is..."

"The most controversial estate between you and your mother-in-law is the equity of Kaili Holdings. You do not want Kaili Holdings to split, and you want to allocate it to your mother-in-law in the form of real estate, cash and other assets, and you have full control of Kaili Holdings; but your mother-in-law But I hope to divide it into equity." Cheng Yao pursed her lips, trying not to stimulate the other's tone. "And the current dispute in the court trial is probably about the time of your husband and son's death."

Chen Linli was a little surprised: "How did Lawyer Cheng know? Because it was an inheritance dispute, the first instance was not allowed to attend."

"Although your case will not be heard publicly, your mother-in-law, Ms. Huang Ran, has been interviewed by some media, and I found some homework." Cheng Yao was a little sorry. "As for the dispute in the court trial, I asked the Turkish side for this. The English report of the accident revealed that the local handling of the time of your husband and son's death was flawed in Cappadocia, Turkey, which led to disputes over the order of death."

Chen Linli smiled weakly: "Lawyer Cheng doesn't need to check those reports. I can tell you the first-hand news of the case."

"I know that losing two people you love at the same time is very painful. I want you to minimize the details of recalling this matter as much as possible. So I do my homework first. If not necessary, I will try my best to ask you for unrelated cases. Details, there are only a few key questions, you can answer me."

This time, Chen Linli was really surprised. The expression on her face was mixed with sorrow and emotion. She looked at Cheng Yao: "I only want Kaili, and I don't need the rest. Can you help me get it?"

"I will do my best."

Chen Linli nodded: "I would like to invite you to represent this case." She glanced at Cheng Yao, "My mother-in-law's lawyer is Qian Heng."

Cheng Yao paused.

Chen Linli glanced at her: "During the first instance, I found all the well-known lawyers I could find. Two senior lawyers acted as court lawyers, and the rest were hired as think tanks. There were eight people in total. I was not satisfied and changed four. My mother-in-law only hired Qian Heng. But the first trial was unsatisfactory. With so many people I hired, they couldn't resist Qian Heng."

Cheng Yao bit her lips tightly.

"There are too many people, but I find that it is counterproductive. Each lawyer has a different idea of ​​handling a case. Everyone is very experienced and stubborn. It is better to leave it to one lawyer."

"Why did you think of me in your case?"

Chen Linli lowered her gaze: "Before contacting you, I have looked for other lawyers. Because of Qian Heng's name, I went to the legal circle to find out. Besides him, I also heard that Lawyer Deng Ming is also very professional. I was really interested in listening to the subject matter of the case, but as soon as I heard that the opponent was Qian Heng, I refused to say that my schedule was not enough."

"Later I heard about you." Chen Linli paused, "I don't want to lie to you my original intention to find you, because they said you are Qian Heng's ex-girlfriend and he likes you very much."

"Ms. Chen, I'm sorry. I can only serve clients with my professional ability. I will never use my identity to bypass the law to influence the other party's lawyer or the outcome of the case." Cheng Yao is neither humble nor overbearing, "If you like me I would like to ask you to be smart."

"I did think carefully at first. I hope that as you, I can influence Qian Heng and the outcome of this case. But when I saw you, I changed my mind. I'm sorry that I had such offensive thoughts about you before. "

Chen Linli firmly said: "I still want to ask you to be my lawyer. I accidentally learned that you are Qin Qin's friend. Qin Qin also showed me the cases you have handled. You are very resilient and capable. In addition, You used to work under Qian Heng, and you know his style and thinking mode better than other lawyers. You know yourself and your opponent. I think only you may have a chance of winning."

——

In the end, Cheng Yao accepted the case at Chen Linli's plea, and obtained the first-instance files and case-related materials. She guessed right, the controversy in the first instance really was the order in which Zhang Kaizhangran and his son died.

Because there is no will, the order of death between father and child is different, and the resulting legal inheritance of the estate will be completely different. The legal first heirs are the spouse, children and parents. So if Zhang Kai died first, the share of the joint property that belonged to Zhang Kai in the marriage would be evenly distributed to Chen Linli, Huang Ran, and Zhang Ran who had survived at the time. After Zhang Ran's death, all of Zhang Ran's inheritance will be inherited by Chen Linli. But if Zhang Ran dies first, then his inheritance will be equally distributed to Chen Linli and Zhang Kai. After Zhang Kai dies, all Zhang Kai’s property will continue to be distributed equally.

In short, if Zhang Ran died first, then Chen Linli would get less inheritance; if Zhang Kai died first, Chen Linli would get more inheritance. In practice, once the father and child die at the same time, it is presumed that the father died first.

Only in the case of Chen Linli, the first-instance judgment determined that the child died first, which led to an increase in Huang Ran’s inheritance share. The real estate and cash alone were not enough to fill her due share, and the division of Kelly’s shares was inevitable.

Cheng Yao looked at the material carefully and found that there was no wonder the time of death was controversial, because Zhang Kai and Zhang Ran did not die on the spot after being thrown out of the hot air balloon. The two died on the way to the doctor. On different ambulances, to be honest, no one paid close attention to the specific time of death. The Turkish side determined that the child died only because the child was thrown further away, so it naturally assumed that the weaker child was more injured and thus directly presumed the first death, as in the death certificate issued.

If it can be proved that Zhang Kai died first, the result would be completely different. There is a high probability that Chen Linli can preserve Kaili's equity.

Fortunately, there is still enough time before the second trial. Cheng Yao took the time to carefully sort out the list of Chen Linli and Zhang Kai's post-marital property, but his energy was a little lacking. In order to do a good job of this case, and many other new cases, she asked Gu Beiqing's partner to work together.

It's just that the two of them came out of court talking and laughing, and Cheng Yao felt a death ray. She turned her head subconsciously, and as expected, it was not Qian Heng who was standing at the corner of the court hall?

He was wearing a suit, extremely cold and handsome. He stood with an alienated and unpleasant expression. He coldly scanned Cheng Yao and Gu Beiqing beside her, and then turned his head. Next to him is the deputy of the Intermediate Court. The dean, was pulling him to say something.

Gu Beiqing happened to have a call from a client, so she walked away, leaving Cheng Yao to walk towards the door. She got closer to Qian Heng and finally heard their conversation clearly.

"Qian Heng, I have a niece. I just graduated from law school this year. I am quite curious about the job of the law firm. I just happened to find a job. I am a little confused. I admire you very much. Do you have time to join me these days? Have a meal?"

Cheng Yao subconsciously raised her head and glanced at Qian Heng, her heart mixed with surprise, tension, and disappointment.

Qian Heng is very good. A man like him is single. It is not unreasonable that people who want to introduce him to him are flocking to him. It is just that knowing this fact is one thing, and it is really uncomfortable to hit this scene directly.

He is single now, and he is facing the olive branch of the vice president of the court. I am afraid he should at least reconcile everything.

"Dean Wang, I may not have much time lately."

Dean Wang has a good temper: "Why don't you wait for a while? It's not in a hurry anyway. What case have you been busy with recently?"

"Not busy with the case." Qian Heng's voice was cold and calm. "Busy dealing with the mess left by his girlfriend."

Dean Wang was really surprised: "Aren't you single?"

"Oh, sorry, I was wrong, it's an ex-girlfriend, and broke up."

"How did you break up?"

Qian Heng raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Yao coldly: "She ran away with someone."

Dean Wang didn't want to match his niece with Qian Heng at all, and patted Qian Heng's shoulder sympathetically: "Young man, want to start something..."

Cheng Yao was stunned, and was inexplicably knocked down by such a pot.

Dean Wang answered the phone, said hello to Qian Heng and left. There were not many people in the court session today. Only Cheng Yao and Qian Heng were left in a large court hall.

"What is it that I ran away with someone?" Cheng Yao endured it, but still couldn't hold it back. "I saw character after the breakup. Is there any distorted fact like you?"

"I haven't slept well recently." Qian Heng's face was still cold. He glanced at Cheng Yao, then lowered his gaze, "You can sleep and eat."

Although the tone is calm, the content of this statement is completely accusing. However, it was also at this time that Cheng Yao discovered that under Qian Heng's beautiful eyes, there was a faint bluish-black shadow, which set off his white face and was even more shocking.

"I have never heard new people laugh but old people cry." Qian Heng sneered, yin and yang strangely said, "This is true."

Now it was Cheng Yao's turn to get angry: "Don't tell me that the breakup is my fault, why don't you tell Dean Wang, you are a gangster, fall in love or not get married?"

Qian Heng glanced at Cheng Yao: "I didn't play a hooligan. It's you who do the hooliganism." He turned his head sideways. "After sleeping, he ran away, and he was divided. Now he is partnering with other men to **** the source of the case. "

Cheng Yao smiled. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Qian Heng provocatively: "Have you never heard a word? If you want to learn well, sleep with the master first. After sleeping, the master will grab a job, which is quite reasonable. "She made up her mind today to be angry with Qian Heng. "If you don't work hard to develop your career and make money, how can you afford a young body when you want to get married when you get older?"

Qian Heng's face was ugly, he stared at Cheng Yao firmly: "Cheng Yao, do you want to **** me off?"

"We have broken up. My future has nothing to do with you. You are also 28 years old, and you are about to enter middle-aged and elderly. You should keep your health in peace, calm your heart, and hurt your liver."

"Cheng Yao!" Qian Heng's calm expression finally cracked completely. He grabbed Cheng Yao's hand and drew her to the front. "For you, is marriage so important?"

Cheng Yao also looked back at Qian Heng: "Yes. Marriage is not the goal. You don’t have to get married when you fall in love. But if it happens, marriage will be a normal development in my daily life. I can’t talk to you. A love with no future and end in sight."

After she finished speaking, she wanted to get rid of Qian Heng's hand, but Qian Heng didn't make her wish. He squeezed a little tighter: "Give me some more time."

"Give me some more time". In this case, it sounds like full of hope. However, it is because of the vague hope that Cheng Yao dare not stay. Some things, without expectation, will not be hurt. She is almost tough Throwing away Qian Heng: "We have broken up. When we see me in the future, we will not show mercy under our hands."

Qian Heng has been thinking about the nature and meaning of marriage lately, trying to find a way to go on with Cheng Yao. He just heard Cheng Yao's words, he patronized Qi at first, but he did not understand what Cheng Yao said. "No mercy" means, until he saw Cheng Yao's name on the second-instance appeal materials of Chen Linli's Huang Ran inheritance dispute.

She is the other party's lawyer.
