Mickey ate the chocolate cake in her hand. The waiter said it was the sweetest, but she still couldn't suppress the bitter taste in her mouth.
She wanted to reply to Dou Yian, "What can happen to me?"
But she couldn't tell.
She just asked him to come because she had something to do.
Dou Yian pulled up the chair and sat down. Without asking any more questions, he picked up a piece of cake and ate it with her.
"Did I disturb you and Uncle Cheng?"
"No, just chatting about home affairs. I told Lao Cheng that I have an urgent client."
Mi Qi held back her tears while eating the cake. After her mood stabilized, she raised her head and said to Dou Yian, "Lawyer Dou, if I get divorced, can I ask you to be my lawyer?"
Dou Yian looked calm and blinked.
"I suspect my husband has someone outside."
Mickey spoke it calmly, just like talking about other people's things.
Dou Yian put the half-eaten cake on the table, crossed his hands and leaned on the armrests with his elbows.
"If you are consulting a lawyer as a client, I would suggest that you collect evidence first and turn suspicion into factual basis." Dou Yi'an paused and continued, "If you are chatting with a friend, I will ask you, Have you thought about it? Is divorce your decision?"
His voice was gentle, softer and more refreshing than the music played in the coffee shop.
Mickey bit her fork and looked back at the past unconsciously.
"I was in a free relationship with Jiang Si. I walked into the wrong classroom and took his seat, and that's how we got to know each other. He is recognized as a talented and handsome guy in the school, and I am not bad either. After graduation, I originally wanted to work for a few years before getting married. , but everything went smoothly for him. As soon as he graduated, he got an offer from the law firm he most wanted to work in. After meeting my mother, my mother was extremely satisfied with him, and he proposed to me while the iron was hot. Yes, Things went according to the plan in my heart, but the time was too much ahead of schedule.”
"But Jiang Si loved me very much at that time. Love can dispel all worries. I said to myself, since I am going to marry him sooner or later, it doesn't make any difference if I marry him sooner or later, right? I married him."
"After we got married, Yanyan and Xixi were born one after another. The daily food, rice, oil and salt took up almost all my time. I didn't even have the time or energy to think about other things. Day after day, day after day, Just came here. I don’t know when I discovered that he was getting younger and better as he lived. As for me, my face became more and more ugly, and my figure became more and more bloated. He smiled at me less and less, and I followed him. He talks less and less. It’s like...him and I are on opposite ends of a seesaw, and no one can get closer to the other, otherwise life will get out of control."
"Love will disappear, I know. Passion will always tend to become dull, I also understand. Even if he has a woman and doesn't take her home, he can still maintain the superficial affection like this, I accept it."
"My mother is like this. She said that if my father hadn't divorced her, she would never leave."
"I hate my mother being such a coward, but I have become like my mother. Oh, don't you think it's funny?"
"Today I went to the law firm to see him, and he was very unhappy. I said something on the way home, but he didn't like it and threw me on the side of the road." Mickey covered her forehead and couldn't stop choking, "I Realizing that I can do whatever he wants with me, it all depends on his mood!"
Midge's insecurity reaches its peak when she is thrown under the bus.
Mickey talked a lot to herself and said everything she wanted to say.
She didn't know where to say it, and she didn't know where to go.
Dou Yian handed over the tissue box.
Mickey came to her senses, took a cigarette to cover the makeup on her face, and heard him say: "I understand."
Not understanding what he knew, Mickey showed a pair of doubtful eyes.
Dou Yian smiled slightly: "I understand my identity sitting here, your friend."
A friend who listens to your grievances.
Mickey lowered his eyes in shock.
Yes, after all she said, she was just vomiting her bitterness, instead of starting from the logic of handling a matter.
"sorry, I……"
"If you treat me as a friend, don't apologize and say thank you." Dou Yian interrupted softly, "Otherwise, I will charge a fee."
Mickey blinked and her brain twitched: "Then there will be no charge this time, right?"
She knows that lawyers charge by the minute and time is expensive.
Perhaps her expression was particularly serious. Dou Yian was amused and turned his face to the side with a bright smile.
Mickey's mood was inexplicably brighter.
Dou Yian packed up most of the cakes he bought on impulse and took them back to the law firm as snacks for his colleagues. Mickey insisted on paying the money herself and left two dollars to take back to a pair of children.
After coming out of the coffee shop, Dou Yian offered to see her off.
Mickey shook his head: "No, I'll take a taxi from Didi."
It was quite embarrassing when he was bumped into when he arrived at the gate of the community last time.
Dou Yian waited with her for Didi to come over, when Mi Qi's cell phone rang.
It was actually a message from the recruitment software, and a company invited her for an interview.
"No..." Mickey blurted out in surprise, confirming repeatedly.
"What's wrong?" Dou Yian thought something had happened.
Mickey pushed the phone in front of his eyes: "A housewife like me is actually willing to invite me for an interview?"
Dou Yian was happy for her: "Congratulations."
Mickey was incredulously caught in self-doubt: "Did I edit my resume to make it look better, so they didn't know my situation and sent me an interview notice..."
Didi's car came and Dou Yian opened the door for her.
"Do what you can, don't think too much about other things, just leave it to God to decide." He also pointed to the top in a serious manner.
Mickey got in the car and felt like the evening was like an amusement park adventure.
I thought I had hit rock bottom, but a ray of light came through.
She did the unthinkable in her worst mood:
Make friends, or make friends with your husband’s mortal enemy.
I got a notice, and my resume was sent back to the interview notice.
These things that should be done in youth are as fresh as the first time for 33-year-old Mickey.
Back home, both Yanyan and Xixi fell asleep.
Mickey put the cake in the refrigerator to give it to them tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, Gu Fanghua also fell asleep. It seemed that Jiang Si didn't show off in front of his old mother.
Mi Qi returned to the room and found that Jiang Si had not returned home.
She called him.
The phone was immediately turned off.
very good.
Now you don’t even want to pretend, right?
Mickey was trembling with anger, and she was only trembling with anger.
In a room with no lights, she sat on the bed, yelling that she was a bitch, and quietly wept like a bitch.
A married housewife has no self, her identity and emotions are all tied to the man, and she becomes pitiful if she is not careful.
At this moment, a thought flashed through Mickey's head:
Should we check all the hotels in Rongcheng and find out the whereabouts of Jiang Si?
But it's just a thought.
Given Jiang Si's professional prudence, it was impossible for him to use his own name when checking into the hotel.
As Dou Yian said, "It's not easy to collect evidence of a divorce lawyer's cheating."
And when Mickey chose not to confront him about the lipstick, it already represented a compromise.
After thinking about it, Mi Qi decided to let Jiang Si take the initiative to come back to her.
