You’re My Belated Happiness

Xu Huaisong hurried out of the court with his mobile phone and said to Liu Mao, "Wubi is not very proficient."

As soon as he had finished speaking, a man in a suit and leather shoes was chased out in the towering white building behind him, and he came to thank him specially, saying that he was very beautiful in the court defense, and he was sorry for the misunderstanding of him before.

This is the person from S.G. Yesterday Xu Huaisong suddenly returned home without saying hello. At first, he mistakenly thought that he was fleeing and almost demolished his law firm.

Xu Huaisong took the cell phone that was on the phone and said you were welcome.

Pure and pleasant American pronunciation.

There was a Lincoln parked not far away, and someone had already opened the door for him. He nodded to the other party in tribute, and then took the back seat to get closer to the phone.

Liu Mao on the other side began to talk about business: "Help you get the case."

Xu Huaisong was polite this time: "Thanks."

On the other hand, Liu Mao stubbornly stiffened: "People hide from you as if they hide from the plague. You are simply buying and selling. With so many law firms in Hangzhou, why does she have to choose Zhikun?"

"Because of this lawsuit, only I know how to fight."

"Just such a civil dispute, which law firm can't handle it? Oh, and you are interesting to her, that's okay, but in this matter, you are a lawyer first. Can't the client just say what she wants? What does she want? , You can say it can be achieved without blinking your eyes?"

Xu Huaisong laughed.

The driver in the driver's seat saw him in a good mood and grinned in the rearview mirror.

He glanced back at the other person, nodded friendly, and smiled more when he spoke again: "I blinked. Also, what I mean to her, I don't know myself, you know?"

Liu Mao choked, marveling that he had completely missed the point.

"I'm talking about the case..."

"I say it can be achieved, it is a judgment made from the perspective of a lawyer."

"No, the domestic legal system is different from yours. If this case is in China, it should start with the theft of the outline."

"It should start with the theft of the outline in any country," Xu Huaisong corrected him, changing his ear to listen to the phone, "but what if the outline is not stolen at all?"

Liu Mao was stunned: "What did you say?"

Xu Huaisong was about to explain, suddenly there was a vibration in his palm. He moved his phone away, saw a new WeChat message, and said, "Did you push my business card to her?"

"Yes."

"Let's not talk about it yet."

Liu Mao on the other end tried to stop him with a "hey", but he still cut off the phone.

But when Xu Huaisong clicked on WeChat, what he saw was Xu Huaishi's news.

Shi Jing's disease: "Brother, Sister Ruan hasn't moved on Weibo these days, and comments and private messages are still closed. Didn't you tell me to leave it alone and leave it to you?"

The implication is that why so many days have not been processed.

He lowered his head and typed: "Not so fast, you study hard."

"Really don't want me to make a new statement?"

Xu Huaisong said in the past: "I used to have the courage to lie, but now I regret it? Any statement is to be held accountable. Now it is on the cusp of a storm. This juncture is completely overthrown, and you have thought about how public opinion will deteriorate? Do you think , There are people who believe in you, believe in her?"

Shi Jing is sick: "I know I was wrong... Then in private, should we give Senior Sister Ruan an explanation?"

Xu Huaisong: "There is no "we", the private explanation is my and her business, you shut up."

Shi Jing's disease: "Oh... but brother, I always think about it, and I can't read the book. I think I might need a huge sum of money to divert attention. [Cute] That...Li Chican's concert ticket is fast It's on sale!"

Xu Huaisong didn't return to her again. After transferring the money, she was about to put her phone down and glanced at the "Contacts" under the message bar.

It was empty and there was no red circle marked with numbers.

Ruan Yu hesitated for a long time before giving up struggling near the evening. He clicked on Xu Huaisong's business card for the hundredth time, bit the bullet and pressed "Add to Contacts", but he was stuck in the process of sending verification applications.

What are you talking about?

Hello, lawyer Xu, this is Ruan Yu?

Attorney Xu, excuse me, can I go through the application?

She shook her head, deleted the full line of words, and sank her head into the sofa holding her phone.

This situation is very similar to the high school era.

When she first fell in love with Xu Huaisong, she actually considered confessing that she secretly obtained his QQ number by relying on the relationship that her father was his head teacher. But I didn't have the courage to send an application, so I could only stare at his personal information that had remained unchanged for thousands of years and turned back and forth.

She made her anger, faded, and exhausted, so she didn't add him to QQ for three years.

After she calmed down for a while, her phone suddenly shook. She thought who had sent the message, but when she picked it up, it was - Xu Huaisong: "I passed your friend's verification request, and now we can start chatting."

Ruan Yu's whole body bounced up instantly.

Did she send the news? Accidentally pressed it? What does her verification content fill in?

Tossing over and over to get no answer, she jumped off the sofa in a hurry, walked a few steps and then crawled back silently, stroking her bangs.

Xu Huaisong on the other end of the phone stared at the screen and curled his mouth at the line of "Slightly Slightly Slightly Slightly" greeting.

What is she doing?

It was early in the morning in San Francisco, and Ruan Yu didn't know that he was back to the United States in the blink of an eye, so the message was sent at this time.

He took a sip of the coffee at hand and waited for her to speak, but there was no movement on the screen.

This silence is like the "confrontation" that lasted for three years in high school. On the stage they built, they played back-to-back scenes that were invisible to each other, mistakenly thinking that all their affectionateness was the script of one person.

But the curtain was unveiled many years later.

Xu Huaisong glanced at the screen of the phone, the interface of Jinjiang novels that he had turned over, got up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the bright lights of the city that never extinguished in the middle of the night, watching the golden light spots projected on the wide expanses in the distance. On the surface of the water, pulsating with the breeze, a little searing in the tranquility.

After a while, his phone vibrated again.

Nephrite: "Hello, Lawyer Xu, this is Ruan Yu. We met yesterday."

Looking at this tone, I still intend to continue to pretend not to know him.

He blinked faintly, typing and cooperating: "Hello."

"Lawyer Xu, if it is convenient, I would like to ask you a question."

"Ok."

"That... what is the verification content I just sent?"

Xu Huaisong smiled at the screen, as if reading her collapse and struggle from this series of ellipsis. Ten seconds later, he simply snapped a screenshot to her.

Nephrite: "..."

After being still for two full minutes, the phone vibrated again.

Nephrite: "Sorry, I accidentally pressed it... Attorney Xu, are you in the United States now?"

Xu Huai-song glanced at the screenshot. He revealed the mobile phone operator information and replied: "Yeah."

Nephrite: "Sorry, I don't know..."

Xu Huaisong wanted to say that it was okay. He slept late in the first place. After typing, he felt that the tone was inappropriate, so he deleted it.

In this moment of silence, Ruan Yu has already connected: "Sorry to interrupt you to rest. Let's talk when it is convenient for you."

He looked back at the empty cup of coffee and pinched his eyebrows.

God has finished talking about it, which means, he can sleep?

Ruan Yu didn't send another message. He turned to her Moments, stared at the blank interface and the line "Friends only show the Moments of the last three days" for five minutes, and then pressed the lock screen button.

Appearing to be irritated with her alienated attitude of pretending to be stupid to the end, Xu Huaisong turned around and walked into the bathroom, and untied the bathrobe again.

The shower water dripped from head to toe. After a shower, he came out with wet hair, glanced at the phone on the table, finally picked it up, and replied, "It's five o'clock in the afternoon, San Francisco time."

So Ruan Yu got another key message, he was in San Francisco.

In the past eight years, he may have lived in a place more than 10,000 kilometers away from her, separated from her by the entire Pacific Ocean.

Of course, it will be the same in the future.

She suddenly felt a little grateful.

In this way, they do not need to communicate face-to-face, and all secrets will become much safer through the screen.

So five minutes later, when Xu Huai-song attached her email address and asked her to pass on the information, she also made up her mind to take care of the overall situation and did not hesitate.

But this night, Ruan Yu still didn't sleep well. Because 5 p.m. San Francisco time is 8 a.m. Beijing time, this means that as soon as she opens her eyes, she will talk to Xu Huaisong about the case.

Surrounded by cyber violence for a while, her biological clock was already disordered, and she was pressured by this agreement, and she suffered from insomnia most of the night, so that when the alarm clock went off at 7:30, she didn't resist and pinched it in seconds.

After waking up again after the appointed time, the phone screen displayed "08:27". Ruan Yu waked up and got out of the bed.

She opened WeChat and saw no news, she breathed a sigh of relief. As a lawyer in California, Xu Huaisong shouldn't be a leisurely person, so he wouldn't wait for her.

But an apology should still be made.

She hurriedly sent a message: "Lawyer Xu, I'm really sorry, I got up late, are you free now?"

There was no reply on the other side.

Ruan Yu got out of bed to wash, and his phone was still quiet until breakfast was over. So she didn't have to gobbling, and she was able to slowly fill her stomach.

As soon as she put aside the empty milk can, the phone shook, as if she had finished her breakfast. She opened it and saw Xu Huaisong sent a simple "um".

Ruan Yu has no experience in litigation and is not clear about the mode of communication with lawyers. Seeing that he is so cold and does not lead the conversation, he has to type again: "Then talk about the case?"

"Interview."

Ruan Yu was taken aback, isn't he in San Francisco?

Next second.

Xu Huaisong: "Video, if it's convenient."

The author has something to say: Song Song: Will you ignore me?

Ruan Ruan: No QAQ, it was WeChat's first move!
