Chapter 111
"Mom, are you here?" Tong Dayong stood up hurriedly and said.
Wu Changlan had a sullen face and said nothing. Only then did Tong Dayong realize that it must be because of Chen Lijun's incident that Wu Changlan had such an attitude towards him.
This did not happen in the past. The two brothers of the Tong family have lived in the Chen family for so many years, and they have done many wrong things, but Tong Dayong has never seen his adoptive mother take it easy. It seems that this time it is really wrong.
Same.
"Mom, sit here." Tong Dayong quickly straightened the sofa. Even if Wu Changlan had a long face, he did not dare to neglect. After all, this was the benefactor who had raised them for many years.
Wu Changlan glanced around the room, then sat down on the sofa, "Don't call me mom again, I'm not your mom in the first place!"
Tong Dayong stood still, not knowing what to say. Chen Lan put down the luggage bag in his hand and said to Wu Changlan: "Mom, what did you say? Why don't you distinguish between good and bad? What did my brother do wrong?"
"He didn't do anything wrong, I did!" Wu Changlan said coldly.
Seeing his adoptive mother come all the way to Shenzhen, it must have been a very hard journey. In addition, his son was in jail, so it was normal for him to feel a little emotional. Tong Dayong didn't want to be an eyesore in front of her, so he walked into the kitchen to cook.
At this time, Gu Manling carried a bag of ingredients she had just bought from the supermarket and walked into the house panting. When she saw Wu Changlan, she called her "Auntie". Wu Changlan had heard Chen Lan talk about her in advance, so she said with a smile:
"You must be Gu Manling. This child is so polite. Come and have a rest."
Seeing that Tong Dayong was back, Gu Manling said hello to him, handed him the ingredients in her hand, and said: "Brother Dayong, you cook first, we will help you later."
"No need to help, just sit with my mother for a while."
Gu Manling walked to the sofa, sat next to Chen Lan, and chatted with Wu Changlan with Chen Lan.
After a short rest, Chen Lan directed her mother to take a shower in the bathroom, and then went to the kitchen to help Tong Dayong cook.
"Brother, don't blame mom. Chen Lijun was arrested and she felt uncomfortable."
"I can understand it. Don't say she doesn't feel good, I don't feel good either, but what can I do?"
"My parents plan to hire a more powerful lawyer for Chen Lijun to defend him, saying that he showed remorse during the robbery."
"I have also thought about this question. Xiaolan, you are an educated person. Do you think this is feasible?"
"It's hard to say. Besides, I don't study law, so I don't dare to say nonsense. Based on my feelings and some legal knowledge, it should have no effect. If you think about it, I am his sister, and it is human nature for him not to have the heart to attack me.
, cannot be regarded as an act of repentance. On the other hand, what if he had taken someone else hostage? He would definitely have taken action against them. It was wrong for Chen Lijun to take hostages under those circumstances. It was adding guilt to crime."
Tong Dayong felt that Chen Lan was right, "Have you said these words to your mother?"
"I told her, but she didn't listen. I'll take her to consult a lawyer tomorrow and we'll find out."
"Now that she's here, let's not disappoint her too much. We'll hire a lawyer to defend Chen Lijun. It can alleviate the situation a little bit. I hope he can change his ways in the future. If you need money, I have it here. I'll wait.
I’ll give you a bank card later, and you can just say it’s yours.”
Chen Lan patted Tong Dayong on the back, "I just found a job not long ago, where did the money come from? No one would believe me if I told you. Let's talk about it later. Since mom is here, she must have brought money.
"
"I don't have much money. I used it to invest in shares some time ago. I still owe Ah Bing 30,000 yuan."
"Brother, if that's the case, then you should save up money as soon as possible to pay back Sister A Bing's money. Make it clear with her and don't get involved."
Tong Dayong pondered for a moment and sighed: "The money must be repaid, but the money can be repaid, but the friendship cannot be repaid."
Chen Lan tilted her head and looked at Tong Dayong, "Brother, are you still thinking about Sister A Bing?"
"I don't know. At first, I thought she had lied to me. Gradually, I realized that I only cared about when she was wrong, not when she was good to me."
"Brother, feelings are not necessarily directly proportional to material things and efforts. It doesn't mean that you have to like her because she is good to you. According to your logic, things about love in the world won't be so complicated."
Tong Dayong smiled and nodded, "By the way, you said you saw Amei on the pedestrian street. Where did you see it?"
"Just...just..."
"It's in the middle of the pedestrian street, the section with the most traffic." Gu Manling walked into the kitchen and answered quickly.
"Yes, yes, it's in the section with the most people."
"Is she alone?" Tong Dayong asked.
"Yes, she is the only one." Gu Manling answered again.
Chen Lan handed the washed dishes to Tong Dayong, "Brother, you went to Jiangxi to look for Amei. Have you found her family?"
Tong Dayong briefly talked about Amei's situation in Jiangxi. Chen Lan and Gu Manling were surprised when they heard it. They didn't expect that Amei, who looked similar to Xu Bingbing, had such a troubled life experience and experiences.
Chen Lan said: "Brother, I think you should not be too attached to emotional matters. You and Amei only met for one night. You like her, and her life experience is worthy of sympathy, but in the vast sea of people,
Trying to find someone without any clues is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Gu Manling added: "So, it's better to cherish the people in front of you."
Tong Dayong turned to look at Gu Manling who was breaking the garlic, "Manling, you mean, I still have to cherish Ah Bing, right?"
"I didn't say that. The person in front of me may not be Ah Bing."
Tong Dayong felt a little disgusted. He understood what Gu Manling meant. He couldn't say anything in front of Chen Lan, so he lowered his head and did what he had to do.
Soon, dinner was ready, and everyone sat around to eat. After Wu Changlan had a rest, her face became much happier, and she was no longer so sarcastic towards Tong Dayong. In fact, she also understood the truth, but her son had committed a serious crime, and she
He was very anxious and at a loss he turned his anger on Tong Dayong.
After dinner, because Tong Dayong's room was the master bedroom and was larger, he and Chen Lan exchanged rooms, letting Chen Lan and her mother live in the master bedroom.
In the afternoon of the next day, after Tong Dayong finished handling his work matters, he took his adoptive mother Wu Changlan to take a look around Xixiang Pedestrian Street. The Xixiang Pedestrian Street area is the place with the largest flow of people and the strongest commercial and cultural atmosphere in Xixiang.
I have the impression that there are several law firms there.
He wanted to take Wu Changlan to consult a lawyer about what should be done in a case like Chen Lijun's and how to reduce his crime.
Sure enough, they easily found a law firm at the entrance of the pedestrian street. Tong Dayong and Wu Changlan slowly climbed up to the third floor and entered the door of the law firm.
Like many companies, this law firm has a front desk as soon as you enter the door. The background wall behind the front desk has "Shengmou Law Firm" in large golden letters.
When the lady at the front desk saw the guests coming, she greeted her with a smile. Tong Dayong said: "Miss, we would like to consult a lawyer."
"Sure, sir, what legal issues do you want to consult?"
Seeing that she was just a front desk lady, Tong Dayong said: "We will discuss the details after meeting with a lawyer."
The lady at the front desk understood what he meant and said with a smile: "That's it, sir, if you tell me what kind of matter it is, I can introduce you to a lawyer who is good at it, and our consultation is chargeable."
