Chapter 80: Knowing three things and having the support of elders
The call went through.
"Hey, Lawyer Zhuo, I'm leaving for the Civil Affairs Bureau now. Can you be there on time at nine o'clock?"
Li Zao pressed hard, and Zhuo Jingfan twisted his swollen eyebrows, not knowing how to speak.
"Lawyer Zhuo? Lawyer Zhuo? Are you listening?"
"Yes, yes."
"Nine o'clock Civil Affairs Bureau..."
"Li Zao," Zhuo Jingfan suddenly interrupted, "We are still in the hospital."
"???" You? Who?
hospital, ward.
When Li Zao saw Lu Xiangning lying on the hospital bed like a dead person, and he didn't even react when he kicked him, he was so angry that he was trembling.
Zhuo Jingfan also just woke up from a hangover, looking decadent and defeated, completely different from the high-spirited barrister he used to be.
"I'm just staying with you in bed."
"Ha..." Li Zao sneered, "Lawyer Zhuo, I knew he was unreliable. I didn't expect you to be so unreliable. You still have the nerve to call yourself a 'barrister'. All those glorious achievements of yours were made possible by money, right?"
?”
"..."
"It doesn't matter. You are his lawyer. It's the same for me to talk to you."
Zhuo Jingfan: "You have to be present in person for divorce. You are indispensable."
Li Zao: "Oh, you can cover the sky in Jiangcheng with just one hand, but you can't handle such a small thing?"
Zhuo Jingfan: "My hands are small and I cannot cover the sky. I am a lawyer and I can only act according to the rules."
Li Zao even laughed in anger. In terms of rhetoric, she couldn't argue with Zhuo Jingfan, and in terms of tricks, she couldn't understand Lu Xiangning.
Looking at the dead man on the bed, she turned to the bathroom to get a large basin of tap water, and poured it all on his dog's head.
A whole basin of cold water fell from the sky, directly waking Lu Xiangning up.
Zhuo Jingfan took a step forward and hid far away.
Lu Xiangning opened his eyes wide and raised his head. His mouth woke up before his brain, "Cough..."
He choked on a mouthful of water.
Zhuo Jingfan pressed his back against the wall and moved out step by step.
It's too dangerous here and he wants to go home.
With a "bang" sound, Li Zao slammed the plastic washbasin to the ground, which frightened Zhuo Jingfan into silence.
It also made Lu Xiangning wake up completely.
He blinked hard and regained consciousness, then lifted up the soaked quilt and staggered down from the "water bed".
However, as soon as his right foot touched the ground, he fell to the ground half soft and half slippery.
Zhuo Jingfan narrowed his eyes and couldn't see.
Li had been standing beside the bed for a long time, neither moving away nor coming forward.
"What's the matter with you? Do you want your life?" she asked sternly, her turbulent momentum comparable to Mount Tai.
Lu Xiangning was sitting on the ground, his head was dizzy and his hands and feet were weak.
He felt the water on the ground seeping into his pants, making his butt and thighs feel cold, and then he let out a "tsk" with disgust on his face.
Too dirty.
My mind is awake, and my pain-sensing nerves are also awake. I have a headache, a dry throat, a burning stomach, and pain in my legs.
Li Zao wasn't standing very close, but he could still smell the overlapping smell of tobacco and alcohol, "The marriage hasn't even been divorced yet, and you can't wait to celebrate it? You're drinking and smoking, and you're still so drunk, are you?"
Do you think your life is too long?"
Lu Xiangning is even more decadent than Zhuo Jingfan. His hair is like a bird's nest, and the strands are still sticky in bunches. His lips and chin are green, and he has not changed his clothes. His whole person exudes an indescribable sourness.
Stink.
Dirty and smelly.
Looking at it this way, his normally proud face is no longer so prominent.
The more Li Zao looked at him, the more annoyed he became.
"Lu Xiangning, are you sober? Just reply when you are sober. You are obviously a speaker, why are you pretending to be mute?"
Lu Xiangning: "..."
Zhuo Jingfan: "..."
Lu Xiangning slowly got up from the ground, holding on to the edge of the bed, struggling to stand firm.
He said: "Good morning."
Zhuo Jingfan: "..." It's over. Our combat effectiveness is zero. It would be better for me to leave early.
Taking advantage of Li Zao's back to him, he tiptoed to the door and disappeared through the door of the ward.
"Close the door, Lao Zhuo!" Lu Xiangning shouted.
He wanted a meeting, but his wife didn't close the door when she was angry, causing him to kneel down and admit his mistake.
Zhuo Jingfan ran out the door, took two steps back, stretched out only one hand, and hurriedly closed the door.
Li Zao and Lu Xiangning were the only two people left in the ward.
Li Zao asked straight to the point: "Have you forgotten what you said yesterday? Anyone who refuses to leave is a dog. You said so yourself."
Lu Xiangning's mouth hardened slightly, "It's still early..."
"Now, follow me to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
"It's not convenient for me right now, so I want you to pour water all over me."
"I know you have a spare suit in the car. Put it on and go right away."
Lu Xiangning asked back, "Are you that anxious? Are you rushing to find Ji Li?"
Good, he succeeded in pouring a bucket of oil on her anger.
Just as Li Zao was about to curse, the door to the ward was suddenly knocked open, and Zhao Zichu appeared at the door wearing a hospital gown.
And Haitang followed closely.
"A Ning," Zhao Zichu was weak, but it did not affect her speed in running towards Lu Xiangning, "You...what's wrong with you?"
In front of Li Zao, Zhao Zichu kept sticking to Lu Xiangning's body, with tears in his eyes, he asked, "Why is there so much water? You are all wet, An Ning, where are you injured?"
Lu Xiangning sighed heavily, brushed Zhao Zichu's hand away, and said coldly: "I'm fine, I'm not hurt at all."
Once or twice, he would think about the friendship they had grown up with together without being defensive.
But if it happens too often, he will feel annoyed.
He has expressed his position countless times openly and secretly, but if she just doesn't listen, then he won't just condone her.
"Auntie, why are you here? Zichu's body has not recovered yet, please take her back quickly."
Haitang looked embarrassed, "I stopped her, but I didn't stop her. Aning, Li Zao, are you quarreling? Did we come at the wrong time?"
Lu Xiangning was still stubborn, "We didn't quarrel. I was drunk. Li Zao cared about me and gave me a few words."
Zhao Zichu looked at the water all over the floor, even the hospital bed was wet, and then looked at the cracked plastic basin that fell on the ground, and he immediately guessed what was going on.
She said: "I have honey over there. Can I get some for you?"
Lu Xiangning shook his head, "No need, you go quickly."
Haitang assisted, "Zichu, you stay and take care of Aning, I'll get it."
Lu Xiangning: "..."
Li Zao's anger had been building up in his head. Looking at Haitang's actions, he couldn't help but sneer, "I thought Zhao Zichu knew that it was her personal behavior, but I didn't expect that there were elders supporting her. It's ridiculous, so ridiculous."
Haitang paused, the anger on her face clearly visible, but she kept holding it in.
The same goes for Zhao Zichu. The expressions of mother and daughter at this time are exactly the same, and there is a pitiful grievance on her face. It can be said that she is better than her predecessor.
Lu Xiangning let go of Zhao Zichu's hand and pushed her to sit on the edge of the bed, "Sit down, don't move, I don't need your support."
Zhao Zichu's ability to understand is also outstanding. She said: "I'm fine now, you don't have to worry about me."
