Can not doing what one wants be called rebirth?

Chapter 95 93. Continuous
Guan Yongyi’s birthday is in early October.

For Libra girls, studying law is the most suitable choice.

Born with fairness and justice on our shoulders!
This holiday, she also did not choose to return to her hometown in Guangzhou.

I have two pending cases on hand and the law firm needs me.

This is the perfect excuse to go against your family.

The first contract case was relatively simple and could be easily completed by the supervising lawyer Shang Lingzhi alone.

She just needs to do some clerical work on the side.

Commonly known as, to give a helping hand.

The client's name is Miao Keyan, a young modern girl who is incredibly beautiful.

Although she was a novice in legal affairs, she was obedient and well-behaved. Her boss helped her find Le Ying Law Firm and asked the latter to handle all the signing matters.

With the assistance of a professional lawyer, the live broadcast contract was successfully signed.

Anchor Miao Xiaoxian signed a six-month contract with Douyu and received a considerable signing fee.

She still remembered that when Miao Keyan paid the balance of the lawyer's fees, he smiled and sent her a big WeChat red envelope.

But the second marriage case was not so simple.

Before the October holiday, Le Ying Law Firm quickly organized the case materials. Guan Yongyi was responsible for sorting and analyzing them, and accompanied Shang Lingzhi to the High-tech Zone Court.

The case was successfully filed.

But there is still a hurdle to go before entering into the litigation process.

The Donghu High-tech Zone Court first organized mediation between the two parties.

One party firmly disagreed with the divorce, while the other party insisted on getting a divorce, so the mediation failed.

The purpose of the court is to strive to make every citizen feel fairness and justice in judicial cases.

In such cases, judges often give priority to mediation and try not to grant a divorce for the sake of stability and harmony.

The demands of both parties are diametrically opposed, so we can only wait for the official trial to open after the National Day.

"Difficult."

At Le Ying Law Firm, half of the coffee in front of Shang Lingzhi was still left.

She frowned and sighed.

"Our client is different from other clients."

While analyzing, Shang Lingzhi explained to her junior how to handle marriage and family cases.

"Her request is for a quick divorce, which is completely different from the core disagreements in other divorce cases."

"She didn't want to know how much money to get, how to divide the money, or where the child would go. Guo Minjie didn't get involved in any of these."

"Um"

Guan Yongyi nodded, not quite understanding.

"So do you know what is the most critical point in this case in meeting the customer's needs?"

Shang Lingzhi asked.

"We have to race against time?"

Guan Yongyi thought about it and answered in a low voice.

"Yes, smart!"

Shang Lingzhi gave a thumbs up and continued.

"The grassroots courts are always very delicate in handling such matters. They can delay and use various excuses not to grant the divorce. Anyway, if the parties are dissatisfied, there are higher courts to back them up."

"This case involves neither complicated division of property nor disagreement over the fate of children. It can be said that there is absolutely no corruption risk at all."

"Due to the strong will of the other party, the probability of judging that the relationship has not broken down is very high!"

"But appeals take a long time, and our clients may not be willing to wait that long."

Shang Lingzhi shrugged and pointed out the current bottlenecks and difficulties.

"It would be great if we could get a breakthrough from the spouse of the person involved."

How to break through?
The signature pen in Guan Yongyi's hand flew back and forth, and he couldn't think of anything.

"That's all for today, Guan Guan."

"Your birthday is tomorrow, right? Here, sister will give you a small gift."

In the evening, the setting sun penetrated into the office building along the window sill. The hall was filled with yellow light, which made the gift box warm.

Shang Lingzhi brought the gift box to Guan Yongyi and looked at her schoolmate as she adjusted her short hair with a surprised expression.

"Sister Ling, how did you know?"

"It's on your resume, idiot."

"I still don't want it"

"Here! It's a small gift. Don't be polite to your sister."

Growing up, Guan Yongyi had very few friends.

Every birthday, either her parents spend it with her, or it is the unchanging Zhou Si Ning.

Good sisters, forever.

She once thought that when she grew up, Zhou Sining would be the only one who would celebrate her birthday with her.

But it was clear that her thoughts were very different from the facts.

She returned to her home in the sunset and had just ordered some takeout when the doorbell rang.

“Why is the takeaway so fast today?”

The short-haired girl opened the door and found a familiar figure smiling at her with eight neatly aligned white teeth.

At the door was Lu Jincheng.

He was holding a large square box in his hand, which was covered with a thin cloth and could not be seen clearly.

"Happy birthday in advance~ Here's a small gift for you."

Although the guest hadn't invited him yet, Lu Jincheng took the initiative to walk into the room, and didn't seem polite at all.

"what?"

Guan Yongyi pursed her lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Such a big box, you call it a small gift?

"No, you're too polite, just forget it."

She subconsciously shook her hands, wanting to refuse, but was interrupted by Lu Jincheng.

"Here! It's a small gift. You're being polite."

Lu Jincheng stuffed the box into her palm with a serious attitude.

"I wasn't polite to you when you lent me your stereo."

"."

Guan Yongyi was about to say something when the gift in the square box suddenly moved, scaring her.

What a gift!
Moving. Alive?

"Meow~"

The box was covered with cloth, and the kitten's delicate and faint meowing echoed in the living room.

Pure and tender, with a slight vibrato.

"This, this is...?"

Now, without any introduction, Guan Yongyi knew what the gift was.

The box is a cat airline box, and there is a kitten inside!

She carefully placed the box on the ground, opened the side door of the airline box, squatted down, and took out the sweet-smelling ragdoll cat with both hands.

“Oh my god, it’s so pretty!”

Guan Yongyi stared at her intently, his bright eyes filled with love.

Unless they are born with allergies, few girls can resist a beautiful ragdoll cat.

What's more, both its parents are CFA-level, top-quality cats carefully selected by the cattery. Its big blue eyes are like two bright gems, filled with curiosity and exploration of the world.

The short-haired girl's mouth curved into an arc. The full-term kitten was swaying, its paw pads pink, stepping on her palm again and again.

One deep and one shallow, both stepped on her heart. "Do you like it?"

Lu Jincheng squatted beside her and watched her wiggle her fingers, asking questions with the answers.

"Yeah! I like it, I like it!"

Guan Yongyi couldn't let it go and nodded vigorously.

She has always been aloof and rarely expresses her emotions so clearly.

Lu Jincheng's birthday gift really touched her heart.

"This is the cat litter and cat food it usually uses. You don't have to be so troublesome to drink water. Just use boiled tap water."

Lu Jincheng pointed to another pile of things he brought and said.

"Okay, I'll message you if I have any questions."

Guan Yongyi listened carefully.

"The baby is only over 30 days old. He needs to go to the hospital for vaccinations and deworming. You have to remember these things."

"Yeah, I know."

Guan Yongyi nodded.

Ding dong~!

The doorbell rang again.

This time it was the delivery guy.

Guan Yongyi turned around, holding a bag of dinner for one person in her hand, and just happened to meet Lu Jincheng's curious gaze.

This takeaway came at a really bad time!

He just gave himself a birthday present.
Isn't it a bit impolite to eat dinner alone in front of him?

Has he eaten?

She suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

“This is what you ordered before you came.”

Guan Yongyi was halfway through his speech when he immediately realized that the explanation was even stranger.

"Hey, have you eaten yet? Can I buy you dinner?"

"Hahaha, no need."

Lu Jincheng smiled and stood up gracefully without any hesitation.

"Since your takeaway has arrived, I'll go back first."

"Isn't your birthday tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow, there's still time."

At exactly nine o'clock, the door of Guan Yongyi's house rang again.

Zhou Si Ning carried a lot of bags and ran to her best friend's house to spend the night.

Tomorrow is Guan Guan’s birthday. Since she is a person who attaches great importance to rituals, of course I must be the first one to wish her the best in person.

Unexpectedly, when the door opened, the first person who caught my attention was not my pretty best friend.

But
——A little kitten the size of a palm!

"Wow wow wow!"

"so cute!!!"

"Guan Guan, where did this little kitten come from?"

Zhou Si Ning's tone rose eight degrees, she quickly kicked off her shoes, threw her bag casually on the sofa, and squatted on the ground to look at it carefully.

Those jewel-like starry eyes look familiar.

"So cute! Give me a kiss, auntie!"

She couldn't help but kiss the kitten on the forehead.

There's no way, girls really have no resistance to this kind of creature.

"My birthday present."

Guan Yongyi squatted down beside her and told the story with a smile.

"Gift? So early?"

Zhou Sining looked at his wrist. It was not yet ten o'clock.

"Yes, Lu Jincheng sent it over this afternoon."

"Is this a gift from him?"

Zhou Si Ning was a little surprised at first, but then she thought that he seemed to have mentioned it when they were having dinner.

"Well, I was a little embarrassed at first, and wanted to treat him to a meal."

"Make sense, then what?"

"He didn't agree. He said tomorrow."

"That's it"

"So when we cut the cake tomorrow, we'll be together?"

"also."

Zhou Si Ning is an iron man, but old relatives are transient.

In this way, Guan Yongyi's annual birthday party broke the original fixed pattern.

The two of them took a shower, washed their skin, and tidied themselves up. Then they lay down at the head of the bed, turned on the projector, and watched the newly released Korean drama side by side.

The night breeze is cool and the tree shadows are peaceful.

Occasionally, there would be a purring sound, which came from a kitten that would crawl over my belly and gently step on my milk.

Nearing twelve o'clock, Zhou Si Ning jumped out of bed, ran to the living room, and took out the birthday present she had prepared for a long time from her bag.

"Happy birthday, baby!"

At the same time, a beep sounded from the WeChat group chat named Ran Dong.

【Happy birthday to Guan Guan~】

There were also three emoji fireworks emoticons attached, which were very common birthday wishes.

Guan Yongyi leaned against the head of the bed, scrolled through the unread messages on his phone, threw it aside, and took the gift from Zhou Si Ning.

"Thank you, Bao"

The short-haired girl smiled and thanked him halfway, and the next second, her profile was instantly lit up by colorful beams of light.

A "bang" sound coming from downstairs of Unit 6, Building 2, broke the silence of the long night.

Outside her and her window, brilliant fireworks suddenly burst into life.

"Guan Guan, look quickly, is it because of the National Day? There are people setting off fireworks outside!"

"Yeah. What a coincidence."

Guan Yongyi placed his hands on the windowsill and looked up at the sky, with fireworks reflected in his eyes, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

The light faded, leaving only a few stars in the night sky.

They closed the curtains and returned to bed.

Guan Yongyi unlocked his phone again, stared at the three emoji expressions for a long time, and typed the word "thank you" in the group.

Probably not?
Maybe he was asleep, so the other party didn't reply.

Before going to bed, Zhou Si Ning held the kitten in her arms and turned to look at her best friend.

She had one last question.

"Have you decided what it's called?"

"Mianmian."

In the darkness, Kwan Wing-yee put on headphones, and Eason Chan's voice looped in her mind.

She slowly closed her eyes.

"Guan Mianmian."
