You Have Today

After Bao Rui's episode, Cheng Yao sat down, and she took a deep breath before starting to read about her next case.

The client in this case is Lin Fengjuan, 25 years old, only one year older than Cheng Yao. Initially, she went to the Legal Aid Center of the Law Society for consultation, and the staff found that she was in compliance with the legal aid situation, and she applied for legal aid for her. Only then was the case assigned to Cheng Yao.

It's just that the registration material from the Legal Aid Center is very concise. I can only learn that Lin Fengjuan's parents are migrant workers and the family is in a difficult situation. Lin Fengjuan got married one year ago and gave birth two months ago. Divorced a month ago.

As a result, half a month ago, the child was found to have severe heart disease during a physical examination and had to be operated on, but he didn’t have the money to pay for the operation. The daily cost is still very large. Lin Fengjuan demanded that the father be sued to pay the child support.

Cheng Yao simply read the information and thought the case was actually very simple. Even if the child is divorced, the child’s biological father does not waive the child’s maintenance obligation, but must still pay the corresponding maintenance fee. Although this is a very simple and straightforward law, but in practice, many people refuse to pay maintenance after divorce. At this time, the reminder is useless, and they can only resort to the law and finally rely on The court enforced it.

Cheng Yao thinks, what he needs to do for Lin Fengjuan this time is to prepare the prosecution materials, and then prosecute the child’s father in one fell swoop. If the other party is dissatisfied with the first instance, he will also accompany him. Too.

Without further ado, Cheng Yao immediately contacted the other party according to Lin Fengjuan's number on the information. She appointed the other party to the quiet petty bourgeoisie downstairs.

——

Half an hour later, Lin Fengjuan came.

Although only 25 years old, Lin Fengjuan feels very vicissitudes, and looks much older than his actual age. Her skin is slightly peeling, obviously there is no time to take care of it, and there is also a deep black under the eyes, a pair of eyes, with hopeless pain and fatigue, but in the bottom of the facial features, you can see that if you take good care of your life, She should be a beauty.

She looked at the elegant environment and high-end furnishings in the cafe, and for a moment twisted her old coat, a little embarrassed: "I'm in a hurry, I didn't have time to change clothes." She subconsciously covered a stain on her chest. "Not yet Be careful when your baby spit milk."

Cheng Yao smiled at her and motioned her to sit down: "Sit down, just a child must have been in a hurry. You should not be able to drink coffee during lactation. I ordered you a cup of fresh taro hot barley milk." Cheng Yao said When he was finished, he called a waiter and poured another cup of hot water into Lin Fengjuan.

Lin Fengjuan's emotions gradually calmed down. She sat down, took a sip of hot milk, and finally took the initiative to talk to Cheng Yao: "Are you? Are you lawyer Cheng's assistant?" She was a little embarrassed, "I heard The surname of the lawyer who took my case was Cheng."

"I am Cheng Yao." Cheng Yao said while handing his business card, "I will take full responsibility for your case and will do my best to help you get as much support as possible."

Although Cheng Yao wore a formal dress and performed very professionally, Lin Fengjuan heard that she was Cheng Yao, but her face still showed disappointment, worry and frustration.

"You are so young..." She lowered her head and touched Cheng Yao's business card. "You look younger than me, I'm 25, and you just graduated when you look at it."

Cheng Yao just wanted to explain, and listened to Lin Fengjuan sigh: "But still thank you, willing to take my case with no money, legal aid is always free, and I can't expect any barrister to represent me. It's worth a minute."

Cheng Yao smiled, not embarrassed: "Although the profession of lawyers seems to be older, it seems that they are more qualified and more reassuring, but it is not quite appropriate to use age to identify whether a lawyer is professional."

The case of Li Mengting is now proceeding in an orderly way according to her approach, and everything is now as she expected, which makes Cheng Yao full of confidence, her eyes are bright and serious, staring at Lin Fengjuan not humble and exaggerated: "Young lawyers also have young lawyers Our advantages are more energetic, our ideas and brains are more alive, and there is a possibility that we will find a new way of handling cases, and we are more willing to concentrate on a case than a senior lawyer."

Lin Fengjuan was a little embarrassed, and she nodded.

"I have read the case information you registered with the Legal Aid Center, it is relatively simple, but to sort out the thinking, all I need to help you represent is a maintenance dispute, right?" Cheng Yao came up with a prepared list of materials, "That The originals in these forms also need you to provide, such as the divorce certificate with your ex-husband, the child’s birth certificate, your household registration book..."

Before Cheng Yao finished, Lin Fengjuan interrupted her with an embarrassed expression: "I... my child... don't ask the ex-husband to support."

Cheng Yao was stunned: "Why?" She was a little puzzled, "So who are you going to sue for this support?"

"Ask... ask the child's biological father..."

The breastfeeding man cannot submit a divorce, so the breastfeeding divorce is either the woman’s proposal or the man and the woman’s consultation. Earlier, Cheng Yao had been curious about Lin Fengjuan's simple case information. Why did he divorce one month after the child was born? What caused Lin Fengjuan to initiate a divorce or agree to a divorce.

This doubt has now been finally answered.

It turned out that the child was not her ex-husband.

Lin Fengjuan's face was red and green for a while. Obviously, she felt embarrassed herself when she got married and gave birth to someone else's child.

Cheng Yao gave her some time to calm down, and he continued to ask after choosing the words: "So what happened to the child's biological father?"

Lin Fengjuan bit her lip tightly, her eyes slowly turned red: "It's all my fault." She said that she couldn't help sobbing, "Amin and I actually had a good relationship, we work. I met in the future. I got married after three years of love. He has a good temper and is also very good to me. If... if there wasn’t that high school classmate meeting, it would be nice."

In her intermittent narration, Cheng Yao finally understood the ins and outs.

Not long after Lin Fengjuan and his ex-husband Amin got married, the high school classmates held a party. This time the party almost went to the whole class. Lin Fengjuan didn't think much and went with pleasure. She used to be beautiful when she was in high school, it was a class flower. Now she is just married, she is spoiled by Ah Min, her eyes are full of happiness, the whole person is shining, and it is a star-like presence at the high school classmates' party. And the most passionate about her was the first love of Lu Jian in high school.

"Everyone said they wished me a happy wedding and kept toasting me in turn. I was very happy that day and I drank it. I didn't expect to drink too much in the end, and I was a little confused." Lin Fengjuan said again, "I didn't know it later What happened, everyone left, and Lu Jian left me."

Speaking of which, Lin Fengjuan's eyes are mostly dodge, and she seems to want to erase this history briefly: "I don't know what happened later, when I wake up again, I... I have been in the hotel with Lu Jian, There is a relationship..."

Although she shed her responsibilities quite artistically and made herself really unconscious and error-free, Cheng Yao can also know from her expression and body movements that she is afraid that she was at a high school classmates meeting Lu Jian, the first love, rekindled the spark under the stimulation of alcohol. The two people reminisced on the past goodness of each other, so they crossed the Lei Chi halfway through the half-push, and had a relationship.

Lin Fengjuan kept emphasizing: "I regret it when I wake up. Ah Min is very kind to me. I am really sorry for him like that, but that night and Lu Jian were really a mistake. I only have Ah Min in my heart. , I want to have a good life with Amin, and I don’t want to have a relationship with Lu Jian."

"So you concealed the matter of the night and did not tell Amin?"

"Yeah." Lin Fengjuan nodded awkwardly. "Really, this is the only time I have done something wrong this time. Lu Jian and his girlfriend were also talking about marriage and did not want to have a long time with me." Development, we all know each other that night was just a small episode, and will not affect each other’s marriage, so I think that if it is only once, although it is wrong, it is not told to Amin, but to us. A kind of protection for marriage."

Where is this protection? Cheng Yao would like to say that when you decided on alcohol and Lu Jianchun once, there was no respect for this marriage in your eyes.

Was it derailed once, only physically derailed, the spirit still loves the husband, and would not be divorced because of the derailment, is it called protection marriage does not affect marriage?

However, despite his disagreement, Cheng Yao listened to Lin Fengjuan professionally and patiently.

"I didn't even send a WeChat message to Lu Jian afterwards, and we just completely disconnected, and Amin didn't doubt it. Gradually, I also forgot about that incident. Before that, Amin's career has improved. , We have been preparing to have children." Speaking of which, Lin Fengjuan cried in tears, "I just didn't expect that more than a month after the class meeting, I tested my pregnancy."

Cheng Yao handed tissue paper to Lin Fengjuan.

Lin Fengjuan talked about it here, and his emotions have been slightly out of control: "I was actually very upset at that time. The one I had with Lu Jian, because I drank too much, and... I didn't do any safety measures. The time is counted. I’m also a little scared, but... but I think, in case it’s Amin’s, after all, Lu Jian and I are so different, how come that is so coincident..."

Lin Fengjuan clenched his fingers: "What's more, I didn't think much at first, I just felt unwell, dizziness, drowsiness, and pantothenic acid in my stomach. At that time, Amin accompanied me when I went to the hospital for examination. I couldn't hide it...he heard that I was pregnant and hugged me in the air in a circle. I, I really have no reason to tell him to beat the child."

Lin Fengjuan may not know that when she took the wrong first step, she was destined to go wrong step by step. Cheng Yao did not expect that there was still such a tortuous case about the simple maintenance dispute case.

"So you have the luck and left the child?"

Lin Fengjuan nodded with a choked voice: "Amin likes this kid so much, I think God will help me, it will be his kid."

It is really illusory to place hope in heaven.

"After the child was born, because he was a boy, he looked like me. Amin didn't feel anything, and I was very happy. The child, Amin, didn't cry in his arms. I feel like it must be his child."

"So your ex-husband, how did you find out that the child is not his?"

"After the child was born, the hospital checked the blood type, which did not match with Amin." Lin Fengjuan said hardly. "After that, Amin never returned home, never visited me and the child again. He It's totally like a different person."

Lin Fengjuan burst into tears: "After that our two families broke out completely. Amin proposed to me a divorce and told me that I would wear such a green hat to him, even if the court would judge the divorce, I felt guilty in my heart, Knowing that the two of us were over, they divorced him."

"I just didn't expect to find that the child had congenital heart disease after the divorce. It was still very serious and required surgery. Postoperative care also cost a lot of money." Lin Fengjuan talked about the child, his eyes were open, "Although I am wrong, this child That’s right, he’s so small and cute, I can’t let the kids go. But I’m still on maternity leave and the basic salary is not high. After that, the maternity leave ends. I’m afraid I have to resign to take care of my children. It’s not good, there is no source of income at home. I was wrong when I divorced Ah Min, so it was considered a clean-out. Now I want to follow up to treat the children well, and I can’t always let good-hearted people donate to crowdfunding...”

"So you want to ask Lu Jian to support?"

Lin Fengjuan nodded: "The child is indeed his, and his family is very good..."

"Have you talked about this with Lu Jian?"

Cheng Yao asked about this, and the expression of frustration and pain on Lin Fengjuan's face deepened: "I contacted Lu Jian on WeChat, but only to find out that he didn't know when he got me black early, and I didn't know if the phone number was also I changed it, he didn’t answer his phone, left a text message, and didn’t reply. I didn’t even know where he worked or lived. There was really no way to think that he could only prosecute.”

Cheng Yao grasped the key point and said: "After all, litigation is a very energy-consuming and time-consuming matter. It may be a year after the litigation process is completed, but the child support can not wait so long. It must be as soon as possible. If the negotiation is successful, it would be better. So, you can give me Lu Jian's contact information, and I will call him."

After Cheng Yao got the number, he called Lu Jian on the spot.

Almost quickly, Lu Jian picked it up: "Hello?"

It seems that he didn't change his mobile phone number, he just didn't answer Lin Fengjuan's phone...

Cheng Yao immediately informed the other party about the cause and effect of the incident, but Lu Jian did not buy it: "I said it was impossible! Impossible! I was about to get married. I don’t want my fiancee to see what happened to Lin Fengjuan’s WeChat. After dragging her black, I thought at the beginning that the text messages were just a joke that Lin Fengjuan was bored with. She hadn't ignored her! I didn't expect to rely on me when I did this!

Cheng Yao hurriedly said before the other party hung up: "If you do not actively cooperate with this matter, I will send a lawyer letter directly to the Personnel Department and Legal Department of your work unit on your behalf. Know whether we are deliberately harassing or seriously defending our rights."

Although this was just a shot of Cheng Yao, Lu Jian heard this sentence, and his attitude was somewhat relaxed. Although he was reluctant, he finally agreed with Cheng Yao's request for meeting.

——

Without further ado, Cheng Yao asked the other party to meet directly today, and she sent Lu Jian the address of the cafe where she and Lin Fengjuan were located.

Lu Jian was very close to the cafe. Ten minutes later, he rushed over with an ugly face. Although this man has some oily noodles, he is tall and has long legs and a straight face. According to current standards, he is a handsome guy.

It's just that Cheng Yao is accustomed to Qian Heng's face, and has long been immune to this "fatty powder". She judged objectively in her heart that this temperament was almost ten thousand miles worse than Qian Heng.

One side evaluated that Cheng Yao was not idle, she secretly opened the recording pen skillfully.

As soon as he sat down, Lu Jian glanced at his watch, quite impatiently: "I only have ten minutes, what do you say quickly."

Lin Fengjuan was irritated by his attitude, and raised his voice at the moment: "Han Han is also your child! He is lying in the hospital now, waiting for life-saving money. He is a life! Is it worth ten minutes?"

Lu Jian was also annoyed: "Lin Fengjuan, did you give up your brain when you gave birth to a baby? I heard that you gave birth to a son with heart disease and started looking for other students to find out about my family situation. Fuck me? Do you have a dream? I'm definitely not going to recognize this kind of'happiness as a dad'. It's miserable for you to have a sick child and be abandoned by her husband, but you can't spit out blood, what is it? My child? What has it to do with me?"

"It's yours." Lin Fengjuan's eyes were splitting. "It's not my ex-husband. It must be yours. The time is right."

"Yes, I have a relationship with you." Lu Jian admitted that it was very pleasant, but the tone was full of sarcasm, "But who knows if you have a relationship with others?"

"You!" Lin Fengjuan was angry. "Except for my ex-husband, I only had a relationship with you! Not his child, of course it is yours!"

"Of course you can say that. If the child was not found to be your ex-husband, can you continue to tell him that you have only slept with him in your life?" Lu Jian didn't care, "You can just happen to me when you are newly married." Relationship to your husband wearing a green hat, you are such a casual woman, who knows how many green hats to wear to your husband. I think you say it is my child, because I am the best family among these men!"

Lin Fengjuan didn't realize the cruelty of the man until then.

She remembered clearly how Lu Jian hugged her softly after she was a little bit, saying that he was his eternal first love, eternal white moonlight, and only hated to meet her again as a married woman, otherwise how Also have to rob her back. He said that his current girlfriend was only a product of family marriage, and she was the only one in her heart. Lu Jian remembered every love story at first. She remembered how he coaxed her and said that she wanted to relive the past with her. Then it was kissing, touching, then, and then everything was out of control.

After the child was found by Amin to be not her own, Lin Fengjuan regretted it, and regretted that she had not insisted on secretly beating the child, so that she would not be discovered; however, until now, she really regretted from the bottom of her heart, regretting that she had made a mistake. After Lu Jian's rhetoric, he betrayed Amin.

Lu Jian, a despicable man, now pours dirty water on himself completely.

Lin Fengjuan red eyes: "Since you think I am a woman who can do my best, the child can not be yours, then you and I will go to the paternity test directly. If you want the paternity test, the child is not yours. I will not say anything. Apologize, and never bother you again!"

"Why should I do a paternity test?" Lu Jian was also annoyed. "First, you can't prove what happened to us, and second, you can't prove what happened. To be honest, I'm really not familiar with you, classmate. I haven’t contacted you once before the meeting. Why should I do a paternity test with your child? And I’ve done a paternity test, and others will see me when I know it. Even if it’s not related to you, it’s related to the arrangement. You Don’t count on my face, I’m going to be a human being!"

After Lu Jian finished speaking, he didn't have the patience to continue talking. He took out a pile of cash from his bag and threw it in front of Lin Fengjuan's eyes. "If you take these three thousand dollars, it will be my compensation for you that night. , From now on we will be clear."

"I... I will go to the court to apply for a paternity test..."

Lu Jian snorted. He looked at Cheng Yao with undisguised contempt and contempt in his eyes: "Have your lawyer never told you? Even the court can't force someone to do a paternity test. If I refuse, you I can’t do a paternity test at all. Lin Fengjuan, I advise you to stop it. I really dare to find someone to come to my unit to make trouble. Lu Jian definitely has the ability to make you unable to walk around.”

After Lu Jian finished speaking, he no longer looked at Lin Fengjuan. He glanced at his watch, and then picked up the bag impatiently. Lin Fengjuan only looked at the money on the table in a daze.

Cheng Yao was dumbfounded at Lu Jian's behavior. Speaking of such words, wouldn't it be tantamount to implying that he bought Lin Fengjuan all night with these three thousand dollars? How is this different from treating others as prostitutes?

What Cheng Yao saw was obvious to Lin Fengjuan as the party, but she did not jump up and smash the cash back to Lu Jian's face to let him roll. It wasn't until Lu Jian's figure completely disappeared that Lin Fengjuan shivered and put the 3,000 pieces in his bag.

A bowl of rice can beat a heroic man. When a person faces extreme reality, she is not qualified to speak about self-esteem and principles.

Cheng Yao knew that Lin Fengjuan needed money, and she needed a lot of money to save her son Han Han.

She collected the money, and wept in embarrassment and shame: "Lawyer, I... I really need money."

Cheng Yao patted her hand on the table: "I understand. You don't need to be embarrassed. I am your attorney. I will do my best to protect your interests and stand on your side."

Lin Fengjuan looked at Cheng Yao almost for help: "Cheng lawyer, what Lu Jian said, is it true? Is it true that even if we go to sue, the court can't force Lu Jian to do a paternity test with Han Han? "

"Indeed it is."

Lin Fengjuan said frustratedly: "So... what else can I do?"

Cheng Yao smiled and lit up the recording pen: "He just admitted that he had had a relationship with you just now, which means that in any case, Han Han has a probability of being his child. Although the court cannot enforce a paternity test, the evidence In the case that the child may be his, but he insists on rejecting the paternity test, then he will have to bear the consequences of the proof. If we can find the rest of the evidence chain, for example, the time you opened the house at the time was used to infer the time the child was born. It’s not consistent, his blood type, and whether there are any genetic characteristics in the child that are consistent with Lu Jian, etc."

Cheng Yao calmly said: "In short, I will help you find all these related evidences and then submit them to the court. As long as the evidence chain is strong enough, even if Lu Jian refuses to do the paternity test, the court can also conclude that he has a parent-child Relationship."

When Lin Fengjuan heard this, her eyes were all bright. She seemed to rekindle her hopes. She changed her doubts about Cheng Yao and thanked her sincerely: "Thank you for being a lawyer! Thank you very much!" From the bag, a part of the cash just taken out was wanted to be stuffed into Cheng Yao, "I know you have no money to pick me up for this case, this... this is my heart!"

Cheng Yao pushed the money back politely: "We have subsidies for handling cases." She thought about it and suddenly laughed, "I still have private subsidies." She added in Lin Fengjuan's puzzled eyes, "In short there is no shortage of money You don’t have to worry about it. The case with a 10 million target amount is a case, and the case for legal aid is also a case. All the parties to the case are equally important in my heart. I will do everything I can and should do."

Cheng Yao looked at Lin Fengjuan: "So you just have to do what you should do. Your baby is still waiting for you at home. I will help you get a taxi. I will contact you as soon as I have anything to look back at."

Lin Fengjuan was sent away, and Cheng Yao sorted out his current ideas and information and returned to Junheng.

Although the case of Lin Fengjuan is only a legal aid case, it is not the one he had expected before. How to prove the parent-child relationship without Lu Jian's cooperation is still a challenge.

But although the case was difficult, Cheng Yao was filled with satisfaction.

This is the first time she has separated from Qian Heng, she has faced the parties independently herself, and she has completely independent thoughts on handling cases. For a while, even Cheng Yao was somewhat proud of herself. In the past, I have read the classic cases, listened carefully to the discussion of colleagues, and humbly consulted the time.

Some efforts may not be effective in the short term, but one day, it will pay off.

Cheng Yao has always remembered the words of writer Gladwell--

"The reason genius in people's eyes is extraordinary is not that they are super talented, but that they have made continuous efforts. Ten thousand hours of tempering is a necessary condition for anyone to change from ordinary to a world-class master."

As long as you work hard, as long as you spend 10,000 hours, or even 20,000 hours, you can surely reach Qianheng slowly but slowly, and one day, you will be able to stand side by side with Qianheng.
