Chapter 209 – Opposition
Fatty pacified so-and-so, ”We haven’t seen Lin Hao yet, maybe it’s just fake news? Can we believe what Hao Shufen said? You also yelled all the way to the ward, now, do not let Zi Shan hear, well, we will go to find Lin Hao later to ask a clear understanding, I think 80% of this matter will not be true, Lin Hao, no matter how it is not possible for Li Rongxuan to go to work as a defense attorney. Think about it, a few days ago he even made up for the baby’s birthday in the hospital room, we can all see his intentions, right?”
Xue Jing stomped her foot hatefully, “Seeing him make up for the baby’s birthday a few days ago, I also think that this is good of him, the original places that made me look bad, may be Zi Shan’s illness made me too sensitive, but how can Hao Shufen be bullshitting about Li Rongxuan’s matter? This matter I must find Lin Hao to ask a clear question, if it’s true, I, I ……” she gritted her teeth, “See if I don’t tear that mouth of his bad!”
“I really didn’t think that a lawyer would have to be bad and be able to piss off fifteen people in half a month.” She took a long breath: “really do not want Zishan this time to meet someone who is not lady ah, I really hope that Hao Shufen is telling lies, otherwise Zishan know will be sad into what? Alas, let’s go, let’s go see Zi Shan. Don’t worry, I won’t show anything in front of Zi Shan.” She pulled up Fatty’s hand and tried to put a smile on her face.
Zi Shan back against the wall, listening to the two people into the ward closed her eyes and opened them, it seems, that day she is not paranoid, is Chu Xiang and so and so quiet really hid things from her. The reason is very simple, is for her good, do not want her in the middle of recuperating from the illness of any changes – but, Lin Hao what else is she does not know?
She thought of Lin Hao’s smiling face, of his big warm hands, and couldn’t help but sigh softly… was it because she was too paranoid, or did she love Lin Hao not deeply enough, so why was it that just three or two words that she hadn’t gotten to know for sure could cause her to regenerate her mistrust of Lin Hao? Was she bad, or was Lin Hao really bad?
When she heard the sound of so-and-so coming out to look for her, Zi Shan was just about to come out from around the corner when she heard Lin Hao’s voice: “Zi Shan isn’t in her room? Where can she go? She can’t go far. Where’s the caregiver?”
Xue Jing didn’t pay any attention to Lin Hao’s words, after shouting out two more times Zi Shan didn’t get a response she turned around violently and looked at Lin Hao who was trying to enter the ward because he didn’t get an answer from her, “Barrister Lin, you’ve been doing very well in business lately, in the case of your father and Zi Shan’s illness and hospitalization, you haven’t even formally returned to work at the firm yet and you still managed to get people to send you silver, you really do have a good reputation. ”
Zi Shan listened to Xue Jing’s words with sarcasm, her feet didn’t move nor did she respond to Xue Jing’s call, she didn’t know why she was hiding to listen to Xue Jing and Lin Hao, she really wasn’t sure what she wanted to hear, anyway, she subconsciously wanted to hear what Lin Hao would be saying to Xue Jing when he had his back to her.
Lin Hao gently turned around and glanced at Xue Jing, ”What do you mean by that? I know you’re a bit upset with me, but it’s mostly just a misunderstanding… Now that Zi Shan hasn’t been discharged from the hospital, how could I possibly go back to work at the firm? I’m also just going over there to take a look, I don’t have an official job. I know you care about Zi Shan, but don’t be so hostile towards me okay, you know if Zi Shan sees this, she’ll be in a difficult position, I don’t want Zi Shan to have to choose between you and me, you feel the same way right?”
Xue Jing was not moved: “You really have a good mouth, knowing what I said I was asking about but being able to steer away from the topic, well, since you want to pretend you don’t understand, then I’ll just ask – I met Hao Shufen today, guess what she said to me?” Her eyes were dead set on Lin Hao, “Hao Shufen was so smug when she saw me.”
Lin Hao’s face didn’t change significantly, “If you don’t have anything else, then I should go see Zi Shan, she’s not in the ward. Today, is the day that Zi Shan and I made an appointment, there’s nothing going on in the afternoon so I came a little bit earlier, I wanted to accompany Zi Shan for dinner, I didn’t come to listen to you say some inexplicable words.”
When Zishan heard this, her heart was slightly relieved, it sounded like Lin Hao didn’t have any abnormality to her, and Hao Shufen’s words really can’t be trusted, as for the misunderstanding between Lin Hao and XJ, she thought she should find a chance to let them get along well, one is her boyfriend, one is her good friend, she really didn’t want to be like fire and water between the two people.
Sox Jing stepped forward: “Hao Shufen had come to the hospital, once kneeling in front of Zi Shan is trying to beg Zi Shan big things into small, small things into nothing, her son assassinated Zi Shan things to erase, saying what is just accidentally hurt, is not Li Rongxuan initiative to hurt people, but, Zi Shan refused, and Hao Shufen had a big fuss here, to Zi Shan said very excessive words, these things we have said to you, you will not forget, right? You’ve said all these things, you won’t forget, right?”
Lin Hao walked past her, “I’ll go find Zi Shan.” He didn’t want to pay attention to Xue Jing.
However, Xue Jing followed closely, “Hao Shufen didn’t resent me, didn’t get annoyed, didn’t glare at me as hard as she did before, and she was really pleased and relieved when she saw me today because her son was saved – she told me that she had hired the most famous lawyer in the city to defend her son, and that at least he wouldn’t have a problem with the law. her son’s defense, and that at the very least it wouldn’t be a conviction for murder.”
“And she said that the most famous lawyer’s name is Lin Hao, I think there is no second Barrister Lin Hao in our Bluewater City, right? How do you explain this matter?” Xue Jing stood up in front of Lin Hao and looked straight into his eyes forcing him to look at him, “Did you really become Li Rongxuan’s defense attorney, you have to know that you can’t hide something like this.”
Lin Hao took a breath and looked at her, “What I do has nothing to do with you, right? Even if I did agree to Hao Shufen, I still have my plans.”
Xue Jing stared at him in disbelief, “Did you really promise Hao Shufen to go on the defense for Li Rongxuan? Have you forgotten about Li Rongxuan stabbing Zi Shan and almost killing her? How can you stand up to Zi Shan if you let Li Rongxuan commute his crime.”
“Of course I will be able to stand up to Zi Shan, I have my plans for Li Rongxuan’s matter, I don’t have to explain to you.” Lin Hao lowered his head, “Who are Hao Shufen and Li Rongxuan, of course I haven’t forgotten.”
Xue Jing pulled his arm to stop him from going any further, “Why? If you don’t give me a clear explanation, I’ll call Chu Xiang right away, and we’ll have a good talk with Zi Shan today – there’s something about you on the day of Zi Shan’s operation.”
Lin Hao broke away from so-and-so Jing’s hand, “You–!” Taking a long breath to hold down his temper, he looked coldly at Xue Jing, “You’re just Zi Shan’s friend, I’m her boyfriend, do you think she’ll believe whatever you guys just say to Zi Shan? Do you really want to force her to choose between me and you? However, I can tell you one reason, although I didn’t have to say it, but for the sake of Zi Shan’s body.”
“Hao Shufen is Zi Shan’s stepmother, no matter how many conflicts the two have that’s Zi Shan’s elder, while Li Rongxuan is Zi Shan’s younger brother, they have the same blood flowing in their bodies! They are all Zi Shan’s family, if we really let Li Rongxuan get a heavy sentence, then Zi Shan and the Li family will have a deep enmity, so how can she go back to the Li family in the future? She’ll really have no mother’s family.” He said this and glanced at Xue Jing, “I’m doing this for Zi Shan’s sake, not just for the sake of venting my anger.”
Seeing the anger on Xiao Jing’s face, he shook his head, “I’m also angry, I’m also annoyed with Hao Shufen and Li Rongxuan, but what can you do about it now? You are not a child, not when people hit you a punch you return two slaps, besides things are far from simple, that in the end are Zishan’s relatives. I, am doing this for Zi Shan’s sake, I don’t want her and her family to turn against each other.”
Xue Jing glared at him, and then without a hint of warning threw a slap on Lin Hao’s face, “Shameless! You can use any reason to do what you want to do, but don’t say anything to me about what’s for Zishan’s good – Hao Shufen tried to kill Zishan when she was young, and Li Rongxuan didn’t treat Zishan as a sister when he did it, so why should Zishan still ask for these evil people, and rush to treat these people who have poisoned her several times as her relatives? Why should Zi Shan still ask these evil people to rush to treat these people who have poisoned her several times as her relatives?”
She didn’t think that Lin Hao’s brain had gone into the water, nor did she think that Lin Hao’s brain had gone out of his mind, because Lin Hao was a barrister, a lawyer who had a reputation throughout the province, and that the good use of that brain was well known to everyone, and such a person said that kind of far-fetched reason to her, and also said it with such a straight face, she felt that scolding a couple of sentences really wasn’t enough to vent out her anger.
Lin Hao coldly received a beating, anger flashed in his eyes, “Don’t think that just because you’re a woman, I’ll repeatedly tolerate you, if it wasn’t for the sake of Zi Shan, I’d definitely let you know what the consequences of your hands hitting someone would be.” He took big steps and walked forward, “I see, you really don’t deserve to be Zi Shan’s friend.”
Xue Jing didn’t stop him this time, “Lin Hao, we’ll let Zi Shan know ……”
“Know what?” Lin Hao looked back at her full of disdain, “Know that you hit me? You think Zi Shan will believe whatever you say, I’m telling you Zi Shan won’t be biased, don’t forget I’m Zi Shan’s boyfriend, my words are more believable to Zi Shan than yours.”
Xue Jing glared at him, “You wait ……” she suddenly exclaimed, “Zi Shan? You, why are you here?” Seeing Zi Shan walking out, she got a little flustered, wondering what Zi Shan had heard, “That, we were looking for you, I called out to you several times, why didn’t you answer me?”
Lin Hao turned back in surprise, saw Zi Shan stood there coldly looking at him, heart is a burst of panic: “Zi Shan, you listen to me, things are not what you think, I certainly will not be to help Hao Shufen mother and son, I just ……”
Zi Shan ignored him, after her gaze moved away from his body, she took a step towards so-and-so: “On the day of my surgery, what did Lin Hao do that I don’t know about?” Her heart was aching, it really hurt so much.
Lin Hao would actually go to the defense for Li Rongxuan, then in court she and he would become opposites, and by then Lin Hao would come to prove that Li Rongxuan wasn’t at fault and the one who was at fault was her, Li Zisan? Betrayal, deception, such pain made Zisan’s eyes red, but she didn’t shed any tears.
Xiao Jing was a bit flustered, glancing at Lin Hao and going over to help Zi Shan: ”Why are you alone? Fatty and I have been here for a while and haven’t been able to find ……”
