You’re My Belated Happiness

Two days later, the case opened smoothly. Cen Sisi didn't even submit his defense, let alone appear in court, and the entire trial was nothing but a process.

After the evidence was complete, the defendant gave up automatically. One week later, the court pronounced Ruan Yu in favor.

She put the result on Weibo and ended the matter completely. That night, Liu Mao asked to go to the city center for dinner.

For this meal, Liu Mao’s rhetoric was "celebration," and the reason she accepted it was to thank him for his busy schedule.

As for Xu Huaisong, she thought he was probably in the United States, so she sent him a message to inform him of the verdict and thanked him.

Xu Huaisong's voice came back: "I'll be late..."

The words came to an abrupt end here, because a female voice was inserted in the background: "Huaisong, look..."

The word "Look" fell, and the speech was cut off.

After three seconds, the message was withdrawn.

Ruan Yu was a little confused. what's the situation?

She stared at the phone and waited for a few minutes. Without getting a reply, she pretended not to hear the voice message just now, typing and asking: "Lawyer Xu, what did you withdraw?"

Xu Huaisong: "Nothing."

Then there is no more text.

Ruan Yu got stuck for some reason, so that when he entered the restaurant, he was absent from snacks.

That female voice sounds very young, so it's not Tao Rong.

She is called "Huaisong", so she should be a Chinese woman.

Her tone is very casual, so maybe she knows him very well.

So, what is the relationship between this person and him?

When the case was settled and all the intersections should have ended, Ruan Yu realized that in the past month, she had never known whether Xu Huaisong was single or not.

Looking back now, when I was videotaping with him, he once said that he was going to eat, and he got a plate of macaroni within two minutes after he walked away. Then, this dinner must not be made by himself.

In other words, he was not at home alone.

Besides the orange cat, he said he was not the owner of the cat. She thought at that time, it was probably a friend who was fostered by him, but now that she wants to come, maybe it is the mistress's?

Ruan Yu recalled all kinds of things in the past, and felt more and more that he had neglected too much in the abnormal state of fear and fear, until Liu Mao shook his hand in front of her and asked her: "What's wrong?"

She recovered and found that she had been sitting opposite him for a long time like a wandering soul.

The waiter who ordered the food looked at her with a smile, as if waiting for her advice.

With a low "Ah" she glanced at the large row of hooks on the menu, and said, "That's enough, how can two of you finish eating."

Liu Mao was strange for a while: "Two people?"

This time it was changed to Ruan Yuzhuan: "Isn't it?"

"Didn't I just say that Huai Song will come later?"

She didn't even hear it.

She "hehe" smiled: "I mean, I have a small appetite and ignore it, you two can eat so much."

The waiter went down with the menu.

To hide her embarrassment, she drank a sip of water, and then asked, "Didn't he go back to San Francisco?"

"Yesterday after finishing the case over there again."

Ruan Yu said "Oh" and cleared his throat: "It's very hard, he used to go back and forth like this?"

Liu Mao smiled: "No, come back once a year."

"Oh, then he's in America..."

"Are you married?" Ruan Yu's cell phone rang before the words were asked, it was Shen Mingying.

Because she didn't know the purpose of the call and was afraid of revealing something, she got up and walked to the entrance of the restaurant before answering the phone: "Mingying."

As soon as he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Xu Huaisong's car parked at the door.

But she didn't have time to deal with it, because the female voice in the receiver sounded very anxious: "Look at Weibo!"

"what's happenin?"

"Cen Sisi committed suicide on the live broadcast. Some people say she was driven to death by you!"

She was so startled that her knees slipped and slipped a step, and her elbow was held by her hands in a timely manner.

Xu Huaisong stood in front of her: "What's the matter?"

She raised her head blankly, and said, "Cen Sisi committed suicide..."

Today when she announced the verdict, Cen Sisi committed suicide.

Ruan Yuchan started to open Weibo and found that the live broadcast had been blocked. Calling Cen Sisi's mobile phone number was also unanswered.

"Who can contact her family, think about it carefully." Xu Huaisong's voice is still very calm.

Yes, there is one person.

She dialed Li Shican's number.

The phone was connected in seconds, and Li Zhican's voice was also very unstable. He gasped and said, "I already know. I contacted her father. If it goes well, she should be sent to a city hospital."

Ruan Yu didn't know the specific situation, and asked: "How did she..."

"Cut your wrists and take medicine, don't worry, it's not necessarily a dead end."

Li Shican sounded very busy, too. After hanging up the phone, Ruan Yu stared at the steps under his feet in a daze, and did not return to his senses.

The volume of her mobile phone was not low, Xu Huaisong heard Li Shican's answer and said silently, "Go."

Ruan Yu raised his head: "Where to go?"

"A city hospital, knowing the result the first time, is it better than just standing here and waiting?"

Ruan Yu and Xu Huaisong got into the car.

A hospital in the city seemed very calm, and there was no shocking waves after receiving an emergency patient who committed suicide.

But with the strong smell of disinfectant, Ruan Yu's steps were too heavy to move.

Xu Huai-song told her to wait aside, and stepped forward to ask the information desk. Before asking the result, he heard a loud noise coming from the direction of the hospital's gate.

He and Ruan Yu turned their heads at the same time and found a bunch of reporters holding up cameras and microphones, surrounded by a man wearing a mask, rushing to ask questions.

Ruan Yu recognized at a glance that the person surrounded by him was Li Zhican.

Li Shican also saw her standing in the bright hall, and quickly took out her mobile phone.

Five seconds later, Ruan Yu's phone shook and received his message: "Don't be here, go."

Xu Huaisong caught a glimpse of the news and frowned. When reporters flooded the hall like a tide, he pulled Ruan Yu and walked towards the back door of the hospital.

Ruan Yu was staggered by him, his mind still spinning fast.

In a flash of lightning, she seemed to understand, and when she was approaching the parking lot, she stopped and said, "Li Shican, is this to guide public opinion?"

Regardless of whether Cen Sisi was rescued or not, according to the trend of public opinion, Ruan Yu, the original victim, would most likely be bombarded as the perpetrator.

Therefore, Li Zhican intends to disclose his entanglement with Cen Sisi to reporters and let dirty water splash on him.

The attractiveness of a traffic star is much greater than that of a small web writer.

Xu Huaisong didn't speak, it seemed to be acquiescence.

Ruan Yu blinked dryly, took away the hand he was holding, turned his head and left.

He catches up and pulls her back: "What are you going to do?"

"Can't let him destroy his future?"

To her, "Wen Xiang" is just a pseudonym, and even if the pseudonym is ruined, she is still Ruan Yu.

But Li Chican is Li Chican.

Xu Huaisong took a breath, grabbed her wrist and said, "He is an adult, he should be responsible for his actions and decisions."

The two remained silent for two minutes, and vaguely heard that Li Shican was already answering reporters' questions.

Ruan Yu sighed.

Xu Huaisong released his hand and lowered his eyes: "I'm sorry."

Ruan Yu didn't understand the meaning behind the phrase "I'm sorry". He looked down at his reddish wrist and said, "It's okay."

The two went back to the car and waited for news.

After half an hour, Li Chican’s WeChat came in: "People are out of danger, and reporters have been blasted out of the hospital. Where are you? I'm coming to you."

Ruan Yu glanced at Xu Huaisong: "He is coming to me."

He said "Um" and started the car: "Report my license plate number and ask his assistant to drive the nanny car out first. He takes the safe passage to the underground garage by himself."

Ruan Yu understood the meaning of adjusting the tiger away from the mountain.

The car drove roundabout to the underground garage. Li Shican came alone, changed his outfit, and got into the back seat of Xu Huaisong's car.

The car door closed for a moment, and the atmosphere inside the car was unusually solemn.

Ruan Yu turned his head and didn't know what to say.

Still Li Zhican said cheerfully: "The man was rescued, what are you doing with this expression? Do you think that someone who really wants to die can start a live broadcast with such great fanfare?"

Of course Ruan Yu understands this truth, but: "Then what do you do?"

"She planned for a long time, just to drag you and me into the water one after another. I couldn't do it alone. It's better to use tactics, not cover up, and control public opinion first."

She frowned and wanted to say something, but she saw Li Zhican turn her head to Xu Huaisong: "This is Lawyer Xu?"

"Ok."

"It turned out that you didn't do the thing about Cen Sisi?"

Xu Huaisong shook his head, "No." As he said through the rearview mirror, he met his eyes.

Eyes met, and both of them understood.

In fact, Li Shican only made a long Weibo picture and some public opinion control at the beginning, but did not pick out the fact that Cen Sisi is a "Wen Xiang" school girl.

He saw Xu Huaisong in the video that day. He guessed that this person had an unusual relationship with Ruan Yu, and heard her call him "Lawyer Xu", so he thought that the exposure of the incident was his hand.

After being questioned by Ruan Yu, Li Shican saw that she didn't know, and out of a secret mood of "unwilling to make a wedding dress for others", he hesitated and did not explain.

As for Xu Huaisong, after the video that day, he found that Li Shican was very familiar, so he remembered the "idol" Xu Huaishi talked about every day. After verifying his identity, of course he thought that a series of actions on the Internet were his meaning.

And he also didn't discuss this matter in depth with Ruan Yu for the same reason that he was "unwilling to be a wedding dress for others."

In the end, it turned out that Cen Sisi had picked herself up, in order to create an image of a "victim" early, pave the way, and make a big fuss on the day when the verdict was down.

Xu Huaisong and Li Shican looked at each other helplessly, then lowered their heads and pinched their eyebrows.

Ruan Yu, who didn't know the inside story, was a little confused.

But neither of them obviously intended to explain.

Li Zhican first said: "It doesn't matter, small scenes, my team will solve this problem. You go back early to rest, and don't read Weibo these days."

Ruan Yu nodded. After he left, he leaned back on his chair, exhausted physically and mentally.

Xu Huaisong didn't speak, and drove the car out of the parking lot towards her apartment. When I got downstairs at her house, I saw a BMW parked there.

As soon as Ruan Yu pulled the car door, he heard Xu Huaisong say "wait."

She stopped and saw him loosen his seat belt and get out of the car. At the same time, a man got down from the driver's seat of the BMW.

The other person walked up to her a few steps and said, "Is it Miss Ruan?" He pointed to the person in the back seat of the BMW, "Ms. Cen's father wants to talk to you."

Xu Huaisong walked around in front of her, "If you have anything to talk to me."

The other party showed a puzzled expression: "Are you?"

"I am her lawyer."

The driver glanced back. Cen Rongshen nodded, got down from the back seat, touched the ground with his crutches, and slowly walked to stand in front of the two of them. In the night, a pair of eagle-like eyes were sharp and compelling.

Ruan Yu subconsciously took a small step behind Xu Huaisong.

But the next moment, the expected confrontation did not occur. The man over a hundred and a half years old solemnly bowed to them, a full ninety degrees, and then straightened up and said, "Miss Ruan, I am very sorry for causing you trouble. , I apologize to you for Sisi, and at the same time as Sisi’s father. It was my neglect of discipline and care for her that caused the situation like this."

Ruan Yu didn't expect it to be such a scene, and he didn't answer for a while.

Xu Huaisong stepped aside and didn't stand in front of her anymore.

Cen Rongshen nodded to him, seeming to express his gratitude, and then said: "I only got the diagnosis report today, confirming that Sisi is suffering from a serious mental illness, so I often have paranoid and extreme behaviors, not just against you. Of course, Telling you this is not hoping to get your sympathy or understanding. If you are wrong, you are wrong. You have the right to be held accountable, and the Cen family is also obligated to pay compensation. I just think you deserve this explanation."

Ruan Yu's eyes flickered, he was silent, and nodded: "Thank you."

Cen Rongshen smiled. It is estimated that he is a person who doesn't laugh much, so it seems a little weird to squeeze the corners of his mouth.

He said: "I have already understood the compensation agreement in the judgment. Besides, I want to pay you a sum of money for mental damage, or what other compensation do you need?"

Ruan Yu shook his head: "I only hope that the impact of this incident will be minimized, and my life, as well as Li Zhican's life, can return to normal as soon as possible."

"You don't need to talk about it, it should be." Cen Rongshen smiled naturally this time, "Scican, this kid is also a stubborn temper... Don't worry, I will cooperate with him to clarify the truth, and I am willing to disclose my daughter if necessary. His condition."

Speaking of this, Cen Rongshen glanced at Xu Huaisong, probably seeking his advice as Ruan Yu's lawyer.

Xu Huaisong smiled kindly, and said, "I have no opinion on the compensation issue. I just took the liberty to ask Mr. Cen, how did you find here tonight?"

Cen Rongshen stagnated, and shook his head to signal that he was confused: "I am old, I have a bad memory, and forgot the most important thing. I am here to remind Miss Ruan that your address is in my Sisi notebook. I found out, I don't know if she has any other extreme behaviors. In the two days, I will confirm all her recent external contact records for investigation. For safety reasons, I hope you will not live here for the time being. I am willing to bear the costs caused by this. "

Ruan Yu raised his head and glanced at the dark windows in Room 302 of the apartment building, restrained his fear and said, "Okay."

Cen Rongshen nodded goodbye to the two, turned around and got in the car and left.

Before Ruan Yu recovered from his last words, he heard Xu Huaisong say: "Go, go upstairs and get some clothes."

"Ok?"

"Live with me tonight."
