Chapter 218: Talking About Love and Cases (1/2)
The secretary and the receptionist gradually walked away, and Xu Xiaoli smiled with interest. Half a year ago, Cai Baoer married Jingbo as she wished. She went to the wedding ceremony with several colleagues. At that time, Jingbo had a polite smile on his face, and his expression did not show much joy of the newlyweds. Instead, he seemed a little confused about marriage. Jingbo's parents were very happy at the wedding. Jiang Huizhu would intentionally or unintentionally say how good and excellent her daughter-in-law Cai Baoer was to everyone she met.
Now? Jiang Huizhu, who cares so much about face, can be seen quarreling by outsiders. She must have tolerated Cai Baoer to the limit, right? Maybe before going abroad, she can send a puppet to watch and see the excitement.
The Jing family was in a panic. Jiang Huizhu had always been in poor health. When Cai Baoer contradicted her, her blood pressure rose. She was very regretful for marrying this daughter-in-law who was inconsistent in appearance and reality. She fainted in a hurry.
Jingbo and Jingran were waiting anxiously in the hospital corridor. Jiang Huizhu was still undergoing a physical examination. She was kidnapped a few days ago, and they finally cooperated with the serious crime team to rescue her. Since then, her health has not recovered and she is always a little weak. This time she fainted and it is unknown how many days she will need to recover.
Jingbo said softly, "Sorry, Dad."
Jingran sighed, shook his head and said, "Kingsley is none of your business. We didn't know Bowie was such a person. If you want to blame it, it's your mom and I who made a mistake and let you marry such a wife." He turned to look at Jingbo and said seriously, "Kingsley, don't blame your mom. She just wanted you to marry a wife who is well-matched with you, with a family background and cultivation that are worthy of you, so that the couple will have topics to talk about and can go on for a long time. But she is just an ordinary person, deceived by Bowie's appearance, and ended up making our family restless. Alas, now it seems that it's better to let you be with Sharp Sister."
Jingbo was in a trance. It has been a long time since he heard anyone mention Sharp Sister. After getting married, he planned to be loyal to his wife and forget the past. He thought that when two people were together, as the amount of phenylalanine increased, their feelings would naturally deepen, but he was wrong again. He and Cai Baoer had different ideas. He focused on research, while Cai Baoer paid more attention to how much profit he could get and how many wealthy businessmen and noble families he knew.
The couple could no longer communicate with each other. He did not understand why Cai Baoer enjoyed wealth but was still so utilitarian, and Cai Baoer could not understand his stubbornness in physics research. Gradually, Cai Baoer's true nature was exposed. She often scolded the servants, threw things when she was in a bad mood, and could get angry for a long time for someone's unintentional words. After a long time, he didn't like to go home anymore. He often worked in the laboratory until late at night, and then rested directly in the office.
He raised his head and looked at his tired father, and smiled, "Dad, I know Mommy is doing this for my own good, and I won't blame her." Since he can no longer be a good boyfriend or a good husband, let him be a filial son through and through, otherwise how can he live up to the pain he and Sharp Sister had suffered?
Cai Baoer has not shown up. Jingbo called her but no one answered. The doctor said that Jiang Huizhu fainted because she was too excited and stimulated. He couldn't figure out what Cai Baoer said to her mother to make her so angry.
In the afternoon, the effect of the tranquilizer wore off, and Jiang Huizhu finally woke up. She looked at her husband and son's worried look, and cried about Cai Baoer's failure to save her on the day she was kidnapped!
It turned out that day that Cai Baoer said that she knew a famous Chinese medicine doctor who wanted to take her to see a doctor. When the two went to the bathroom downstairs, the kidnapper suddenly appeared. They hurried upstairs and saw the door of the clinic upstairs, but she fell on the stairs. Cai Baoer left her and quickly ran up and closed the door.
She was very scared at the time and ran upstairs despite the pain in her feet. As a result, when Cai Baoer saw the kidnapper not far behind her, she locked the door without hesitation. No matter how she knocked on the door and shouted, she was indifferent and watched her being dragged away by the kidnapper through the glass door.
She hadn't planned to say it. She asked Cai Baoer why she left her behind. Cai Baoer said confidently that the kidnappers wanted to catch her. It was better for her to be caught alone than for both of them to be in danger.
Jing Ran leaned over and hugged Jiang Huizhu, "Okay, okay, don't think about it anymore. It's all over. Don't be afraid of anything!"
Jing Bo frowned and trembled with anger. The truth of his mother's arrest was like this! Cai Baoer came home and said that she went forward to rescue but failed to save her. She blamed herself and felt guilty! All the past flashed in his mind one by one. He could no longer deceive himself. Cai Baoer just wanted to find a husband who was rich and gave her face. It had nothing to do with her previous love at first sight and secret love for a long time.
Looking at his parents, he felt that he couldn't go on like this. Their marriage should end.
Jing Bo found Cai Baoer at Cai's house with a lawyer and took out the divorce agreement directly. Cai Baoer glared at him and shouted, "What do you mean? Mommy fainted and it's none of my business. You've always known that she's not in good health. How can you put all the blame on me?" Cai Baoer's father and brother also questioned him why he wanted to divorce after only six months of marriage!
Jingbo knew he was not good at arguing, so he had discussed the matter with the lawyer before coming here. So, when he heard their questions, he didn't say anything, but just turned to look at Lawyer Zhang.
Lawyer Zhang pushed his glasses and smiled, "It's like this. Ms. Jiang Huizhu was kidnapped a few days ago. There are still some doubts in the case. Now Ms. Jiang Huizhu accuses Ms. Cai Baoer of standing by and watching her being kidnapped, and deliberately locking the escape door so that she can't escape. However, due to your relationship with Mr. Jingbo, the Jing family decided not to pursue this matter for the time being, but you must dissolve your marriage with Mr. Jingbo."
The Cai family father and son were a little shocked and looked at Cai Baoer in disbelief. Cai Baoer looked at Jingbo in panic and said, "Kingsley! It's not like that! Mom was... Mommy has been caught by the kidnappers. If I rush forward, it will only make one more person to be caught. That's why I locked the door to block the kidnappers. How could I deliberately not save Mommy? "
"Ms. Cai, if you insist, Ms. Jiang means to meet directly in court."
Cai Baoer seemed to have heard something funny, and shook her head at Jingbo and said, "Kingsley? We are a family. Do we have to confront each other in court? That's ridiculous!"
Lawyer Zhang turned his head to look at Jingbo. Jingbo said nothing and stood up and walked out. Lawyer Zhang picked up his briefcase and nodded politely to them, smiling: "In this case, please wait for my lawyer's letter, Miss Cai, we can only meet in court."
Seeing that Jingbo had already walked to the door, Cai Baoer had no intention of changing her mind, and she frowned and shouted, "Enough! Divorce!"
She frowned and vented to Jingbo: "How satisfied do you think I am with this marriage? You said you were from a noble family, but that was in the past! Now it's just a gallery owner and a primary school principal. How noble do you think you are? How can you compare with our Cai family? You are obsessed with that stinky policewoman in your heart, do you think I don't know? You obviously know the richest man Zhaotian and you are indebted to him, why don't you help me make a connection? Do you have Do you think of me as your wife? Count how many times you go home in a month? You say you study physics, but who knows if you go out to fool around? You..."
Jingbo had no interest in what she said, interrupted her coldly, and said the only sentence of the day, "Sign it."
Cai Baoer stared at him unwillingly. Lawyer Zhang pushed the divorce agreement signed by Jingbo in front of her, looked at his watch, and smiled, "Ms. Cai, please sign it. We have to rush to the hospital to visit Ms. Jiang. I heard that she was sick this time."
Father Cai sat on the sofa with a gloomy face and scolded, "Bowie, sign it!"
Cai Baoer sat on the sofa suddenly, pulled the divorce agreement on the coffee table and signed her name. Jingbo took Lawyer Zhang away without wasting any time. When he left the door, he could still hear Cai's father scolding, "Bowie! Look at you now? It seems that you have studied in the UK for so long but still haven't changed your temper. Tomorrow I will arrange for you to go abroad. Don't embarrass me in Hong Kong..."
It turned out that she was exiled to the UK by her family when she went to study abroad. It was not that her family valued her at all... Jingbo shook his head in self-mockery, looked up at the stars in the sky, and showed a relaxed smile. He would never make such a foolish decision about love again.
After listening to the report of the puppet, Xu Xiaoli smiled gloatingly. In the original drama, Jiang Huizhu was rescued by the sharp sister. This time, there was no sharp sister to take care of her all the way. It seems that she has suffered a lot, and even her health is not good. She was relieved that the Jing family was so unhappy.
After deciding to go abroad, Xu Xiaoli has been paying attention to international cases. Not long after, she found that a multinational company was recruiting members of the lawyer team and planned to fight a large-scale commercial lawsuit with its long-time opponents. This case had a great impact. If she won, she would gain both fame and fortune, so the selection criteria of the lawyer team were also very high.
Xu Xiaoli submitted her resume and received a reply letter for an interview at the US headquarters three days later. She went to the United States on a business trip, successfully passed the initial and re-examinations, and became a core member of the lawyer team.
Only Chen Yuqi knew about this matter from beginning to end, but Chen Yuqi encouraged her. She was still young and people were very tolerant of her. Even if she failed, it would not affect her future, so Chen Yuqi always encouraged her to go out and fight while she was young. Once successful, her worth would double.
After returning to Hong Kong, Xu Xiaoli finished the only two cases left, and then told her family that she was going to the United States to develop. Xu Fei's first reaction was to oppose, "Sharp sister, Hong Kong is also very good, why do you want to go to the United States? You can't learn from those people who worship foreigners, otherwise I won't forgive you!"
Xu Xiaoli smiled and said, "Sir Fei, what are you thinking about! I've only been there for a year or two, and I will come back after this big case is over. This case is very challenging and influential. If our legal team wins, your daughter's value will be different."
Xu Fei still frowned, Xu Jiaxi handed him a newspaper and said, "Grandpa, I know the case that my aunt is talking about. Look, it's all in the newspaper. It's a super big case and has attracted a lot of attention. If my aunt wins this big case, it will be so glorious!"
Xu Fei took the newspaper and squinted his eyes to read it carefully. He used to be a policeman, so he could naturally see the influence of this case on lawyers. He was no longer worried and nodded, saying, "In this case, go ahead, come on! I believe that Xi Li Mei will definitely win!"
Liang Xiu'e held her hand and kept reminding her, "Xi Li Mei, take good care of yourself when you arrive in the United States. Hire a nanny to cook for you on time. Don't ignore your health for work. Now that the conditions at home are better, there is no need to work so hard. If there is anything, call us and we will fly over immediately..."
Xu Xiaoli boarded the plane with the blessings and expectations of her whole family. In the United States, she and the members of the legal team cooperated very well. Although there was competition between them, everyone knew that they could only win if they united. She used her ability to sneak into the other camp and check their details. After she had a plan in her mind, she felt more relaxed and never went wrong in finding evidence.
So, in just eight months, they won this international case, which was a sensation. By then, Xu Xiaoli had become the chief barrister of the legal team. When the case was over, her name was well-known in the legal profession and she instantly became a celebrity on all the major pages of Hong Kong.
What happened in the United States next was dispensable. She went for in vitro fertilization, and then told her family that she would have to accept some interviews and publicity in the United States and stay for a while. After that, she would take a vacation and travel to relax.
Xu's family knew that she had been working very hard in the past few years, and they agreed with her decision to travel, so they didn't urge her to go home.
One year later, Hong Kong Airport.
Xu Xiaoli walked out slowly, holding her three-month-old baby, followed by her assistant and nanny. Xu Guoliang saw her and waved to her happily, but his hand suddenly froze in the middle of the wave. He pulled off his sunglasses, stared at the child in Xu Xiaoli's arms, ran up to her and pointed at her and asked, "Sharp sister... How come you went abroad and brought back a child? Whose child is it?"
Xu Xiaoli smiled and showed him the baby's face, "Second brother, this is my son, his name is Xu Jiaze."
Xu Guoliang looked at her, then at the baby, with a look of being struck by lightning. After a long while, he reacted and looked around and said, "Where is Xiaoze's father? Where is he? Didn't he come back with you?"
Xu Xiaoli held him back, "Second brother, let's talk about it when we get home."
The Xu family looked at the baby They looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally Liang Xiu'e received Xu Fei's eyes and asked carefully: "Xi Li Mei, why is Bao Bao's surname Xu? This, Bao Bao's father...what's going on?"
Xu Xiaoli pretended to be depressed and said: "I didn't know people well. I thought it was my fate, but the other party didn't want to marry me at all, and later he disappeared." She raised her head and smiled, "I also figured it out. Maybe I just don't have a smooth relationship in this life. Now I have Xiaoze, and it's enough for me to live with him."
Xu Fei and Liang Xiu'e looked at each other, not knowing how to comfort him. The man disappeared, and they couldn't even vent for Xi Li Mei, so they could only let it go.
Xu Xiaoli moved to Repulse Bay to live with her parents. Xu Guoan and Xu Guoliang had already moved out and bought an apartment near their company. She kept the two old people company, so they wouldn't let them be too lonely, and they could also let them enjoy the joy of family.
As the days passed, the Xu family saw that she seemed to be the same as before, without any shadow, and gradually they were relieved. As for her refusal to get married, they no longer cared about it. They just hoped that she could be happy. With Xiaoze, they were not afraid that she would be without support in the future.
Xu Xiaoli's fame was getting bigger and bigger. When she applied to become a senior barrister a few years later, Jiang Huizhu looked at the interview in the magazine and sighed in her heart. If she hadn't interfered, such an excellent daughter-in-law would have belonged to their Jing family, and Jingbo would not have been alone and childless in his thirties. Thinking of her son who devoted himself to the laboratory, she felt a headache.
Jingbo's years of research finally yielded significant results. His new function can help astronomers calculate the life cycle of the sun. At the award ceremony, he said to countless people who were as fascinated by physics as he was: "Rational thinking allows me to solve many scientific problems. I have always believed that everything in the world can be analyzed and calculated rationally, but today I want to tell you that I completely deny all my previous ideas.
Only by experiencing love and being loved can you understand that the most precious feelings in the world can only be felt and appreciated with the heart, and there is no way to calculate! Because of my previous persistence, I lost my most beloved girlfriend, and my calculation theory hurt her deeply. I often wonder if it is possible to make a time machine in my lifetime so that I can go back to the past and redeem this regret..."
Jingbo's words made the reporters excited, and they desperately wanted to dig out who his "girlfriend" was. Jingbo had only been in contact with Xu Xiaoli and Cai Baoer in terms of feelings. Major media quickly dug out many inside stories of the year and competed to report them.
The focus of the report shifted from Professor Jing's many years of affection, to Jiang Huizhu's failure to recognize her talent, and then gradually shifted to Xu Xiaoli's inspirational story of hard work, which inadvertently pushed her reputation to a higher level.
Xu Xiaoli no longer cared about the Jing family. Over the years, her feeling of indifference towards the original owner had gradually faded. Everyone who had bullied Sharp Sister had fallen, and she would not hold on to them anymore. In addition to work, she just raised her son with all her heart, was filial to her parents with all her heart, and often stayed at home to experience the warm feeling.
In this life, she was not lonely at all. She worked hard to improve her status for her family, but her family had never changed for ten years. This was enough. The parents and brothers in this life completely made up for her regret of being an orphan before she crossed over. She seemed to understand why her master let her experience it. Only after experiencing all kinds of things could she find that her obsession in her heart was actually nothing big.
