Zhan Bai's little hand held his big palm tightly, and while walking down the stairs, he said, "By the way, Dad, grandma's lawyer has arrived and has been waiting for you in the living room for more than an hour."
"Lawyer?" Mu Shaoling went downstairs with him, but he didn't see Li Wenqi. There was a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa, whom he didn't recognize.
It seems that the lawyer Zhan Bai was talking about is the one in front of him.
Xu Huanlin, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately stood up when he saw Mu Shaoling going downstairs. He is one of the top lawyers in City A and has helped many wealthy families in lawsuits. However, when he saw Mu Shaoling, he was inevitably a little nervous.
"Mr. Mu, hello, my name is Xu, and this is my business card." Xu Huanlin approached and handed over his business card respectfully.
Mu Shaoling didn't take it, with a cold expression on his face, "What's the matter with Lawyer Xu?"
"That's right, I'm your mother's lawyer, and I want to discuss something with you in detail." Xu Huanlin said, still holding his business card in his hand and froze there.
Mu Shaoling didn't take the business card, which made him a little embarrassed.
"Where's Lawyer Li Wenqi?" Mu Shaoling looked indifferently, took Zhanbai's hand, walked to the sofa and sat down.
He had promised to find a good lawyer for Zhang Yali, and the best lawyer in City A was Li Wenqi. In this unwinnable case, Li Wenqi followed up in a daze, just to sell him a favor.
Zhan Bai turned his head and said to the nanny beside him, "Auntie, Dad is hungry, can you bring him a bowl of porridge?"
The little guy didn't care about his physical condition, the nanny immediately smiled and nodded, walked into the kitchen and brought him a bowl of warm porridge.
Xu Huanlin withdrew his business card in embarrassment, and sat down in his original seat, "Your mother refused to accept the help of lawyer Li Wenqi, and instead hired me as her attorney."
Li Wenqi also knew that if he was one of the top barristers in City A, then Li Wenqi would be one of the top lawyers in the country, and it was not ordinary people who could invite him to a lawsuit.
"She hired you personally?" Mu Shaoling questioned.
There was no victory in this case, but Li Wenqi tried his best to minimize her sentence. After all, he was a headache for all the prosecuting lawyers.
It was really stupid for Zhang Yali to find such a character without using him.
"Ms. Tang helped to come forward." Xu Huanlin pushed his glasses. Many lawyers were eager to make a move about this case that caused a sensation in City A.
It's just that the Mu family's case is not so easy to get, they can only move around, so when Tang Maixiang came to ask him for help, he agreed without thinking.
Mu Shaoling didn't make a sound, picked up the porridge brought by the nanny, and sipped it slowly.
If it wasn't for Tang Maixiang's disturbance at the T Group a few days ago to awaken her memory, he would have already forgotten about this character.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xu Huanlin guessed in his heart that if he didn't say anything, he was acquiescing to himself as the lawyer representing this case, right?
"Mr. Mu, this case has no chance of winning, but I can maximize the reduction of sentence for Ms. Zhang." Xu Huanlin said.
"Yeah." Mu Shaoling was still drinking the porridge, without raising his eyes. What he said, any lawyer would say it.
Xu Huanlin continued: "Mr. Mu, what you said is very helpful for reducing the sentence. Can you prepare a pleading letter and let me submit it to the judge?"
"I'm very busy." Mu Shaoling figured out the purpose of his visit.
Li Wenqi said long ago that if he used his status as a son to intercede with the judge on Zhang Yali's behalf, he would greatly help Zhang Yali.
After all, she was planning to steal her own things. With Mu Shaoling's speech, he could compile a reason to convince the judge that Zhang Yali had a compelling reason to do so.
Mu Shaoling refused.
"Mr. Mu, Ms. Zhang has committed a crime. She will spend several years in prison." Xu Huanlin was confident that he could persuade Mu Shaoling, but unexpectedly, he refused quickly.
After finishing the last sip of porridge, Mu Shaoling put the bowl on the tea table and said indifferently, "Seeing off the guests."
"Mr. Mu?" Xu Huanlin stood up, wanting to fight.
The nanny stepped forward and said, "Lawyer Xu, this way please."
"Mr. Mu, Ms. Zhang is your mother. Even if you don't write this pleading letter, can I invite you to appear in court that day?" Xu Huanlin stood up, wanting to gain an advantage for Zhang Yali.
"I'm going on a business trip." Mu Shaoling took Zhan Bai's hand and left.
Xu Huanlin was sent out by the nanny.
Mu Shaoling looked at his son, his little white face was full of confusion, "What do you want to ask?"
"Dad, will grandma really go to jail?" Zhan Bai asked, although the adults were careful not to discuss this matter in front of them, he still knew something.
In addition, after listening to what Zhang Huanlin said, he probably understood the matter.
"A person who has done something wrong, should he be responsible for what he did wrong?" Mu Shaoling asked, leading Zhan Bai out of the house.
"Yes." Zhan Bai said.
"Grandma, she is responsible for what she did." Mu Shaoling explained to him.
After finishing speaking, he looked at the dim sky, if Ruan Bai was here, he would definitely blame himself for educating his children like this.
She always said that Zhan Zhan and Ruan Ruan are still young, so they shouldn't be educated in this way, and must use euphemistic methods to convey the correct three views and ideas.
Mu Shaoling held Zhan Bai's hand tightly, and sighed in his heart, "Xiao Bai, if you don't agree with my way of educating children, you must come back soon."
Ruan Ruan and Tao Tao, who were accompanying Mr. Mu in the garden, saw them approaching, and immediately ran to Mu Shaoling's side.
Taotao hugged his leg and asked concerned: "Papa, why did you get out of bed? Mama said that sick people should lie on the bed and sleep obediently."
"I'm fine." Mu Shaoling bent over and hugged his youngest son. When Ruan Bai was mentioned, he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
Taotao stretched out her little hand, touched his forehead, and then touched her own forehead, this is what Ruan Bai often did when he was sick.
He nodded and said, "It's not hot anymore!"
Ruan Ruan looked up at him, "Dad, has your fever gone?"
"Well, the fever is gone." Mu Shaoling carried Taotao and walked to the gazebo, Zhanbai and Ruanrou obediently followed beside him.
He sat on a chair in the gazebo and put Taotao on the ground.
Mr. Mu had something to say to him, so he said to the three children: "Zhan Zhan, Ruan Ruan, Tao Tao, can you go over there and play?"
"Okay." Zhan Bai and Ruan Ruan nodded.
Taotao originally wanted to rely on Mu Shaoling, but was led by her brother and sister to the swing.
After the children left, Mr. Mu asked, "Is there any news about Xiaobai?"
"No." Mentioning Ruan Bai, Mu Shaoling's eyes flashed with pain.
Mr. Mu looked at the three children not far away. Since Ruan Bai was kidnapped, he realized more and more that Ruan Bai had paid a lot for the Mu family.
Thinking of Ruan Bai supporting the group with one hand, and when Mu Shaoling came back, Mr. Mu felt guilty for the foolishness he had committed back then.
