Chapter 569 Mrs Fu
568
The judge asked the prosecution and the defense to discuss in the inner court.

Fu Zhengye had to leave the court temporarily. Before being taken away by the court police, he gave Tang Xi'en a thumbs up and smiled at her in a friendly manner.

Tang Xi'en smiled at him awkwardly, turned his head to look at Fu Shiyu who was sitting in the spectator seat at the back, nodded to him, and followed the chief lawyer to the judge's inner court.

After closing the door, the judge took off his robe, took his seat, and invited everyone to sit too.

The judge looked at the prosecutor: "In this case, do you want to consider taking evidence again?"

The prosecution didn't say anything at first, and it was obviously a bit difficult to get off the horse. After a while, he said, "We will discuss it with the defense lawyer later."

The judge glanced at him and nodded: "Go ahead and tell me the result before the trial tomorrow afternoon."

"Good Your Honor."

The group was about to leave the inner court when the judge suddenly called Tang Xi'en: "Tang, wait a moment."

Tang Xi'en turned around and pointed to himself: "Are you talking about me?"

The judge nodded and the lead lawyer closed the door for them.

Tang Xien returned to her seat with a very special mood. No one has called her Tang for many years.

Most American women take their husband’s surname after marriage, so according to American habits, everyone should normally address Tang Xien as Mrs Fu, but since there is no such thing in China, Tang Xien still keeps her real surname "Teng" after marriage, so when she came to Los Angeles , everyone calls her by her last name directly, Teng for those who are more friendly, and Mrs Teng for those who are more formal.

Now the judge suddenly called out "Tang", which made Tang Xi'en a little unaccustomed to it. At first, she wasn't sure if he was calling herself, but her English name when she was studying in the United States was Tang.In fact, she should have chosen a more formal English name back then, but she found it troublesome and didn’t know what to choose, so in those years, her classmates called her Tang directly, because the Chinese name written in foreign countries is Tang Xien, according to According to the tradition of American names first, everyone used to regard Tang as her name, which has been called for many years.

The judge smiled at her kindly: "I heard that you returned to your country after graduation. Are you returning to Los Angeles to become a lawyer now?"

Tang Xien was startled: "Do you know me?"

Although his face was kind, the judge was serious both in court and in court, with a kind smile on his face all the time: "I was sad for a long time when you rejected my offer back then."

Tang Xi'en was surprised for a while, and finally recalled the offer from a professional judge's assistant in a California court in his third year at Harvard Law School.She didn't expect that the judge would still remember her after so many years.

"Your ability is not limited to being a second lawyer." The judge lamented, "If you don't dislike the low salary of the court, how about coming back to be my assistant? When the opportunity comes, you may be able to become a judge. In California, There are not many Chinese female judges. I believe you can be a great Chinese female judge."

This remark made Tang Xi'en very excited.

She just missed the post of deputy director of the Department of Treaty and Law, and she was frustrated and regretful. Right now, the judge's affirmation was like injecting a steady stream of fresh water into her dry career field.

In addition to being pleasantly surprised, she also felt very touched, calmed down, stood up, and bowed to the judge: "Thank you for your appreciation, but I already have a job in our country. Second counsel in the case because the defendants are my family members."

The judge was a little surprised when he heard the words, but he didn't break the casserole and asked the end. He just nodded with a smile: "You are very good, no matter where you are, you will attract attention. You will become a great legal person. Believe in yourself!"

"Thank you!"

"When this case is over and you have time, let's have a meal together." The judge smiled and nodded at the door behind her, "The prosecutors are still waiting for you, go quickly."

Tang Xi'en pursed her lips and smiled, "Goodbye!"

After closing the door, the lead lawyer was still waiting outside, and they went to the prosecutor's office together.

The prosecution took out the plea agreement, saying that if Fu Zhengye pleaded guilty now, it would be a five-year sentence. After deduction of vacation and parole, he would actually only need to sit in prison for three years; more than 20 years in prison.

In fact, everyone knows that the prosecution proposed a plea agreement at this time because the prosecution has no confidence in this case, so Tang Xi'en and the chief lawyer really want to reject the plea offer, but according to the procedure, they still have to go back and talk to Fu Zhengye. discuss.

It was already late when he came out of the prosecutor's office, and Fu Zhengye had already been escorted back to the detention center. Tang Xi'en and the chief lawyer made a schedule for tomorrow morning, and then went back to the hotel with Fu Shiyu directly from the court.

She has been very tense all day, and now she just wants to rest and relax, and she doesn't even bother to have dinner in a restaurant outside.After returning to the hotel, he took a shower, ate some dinner delivered by the hotel, and then lay back on the bed to rest.

Fu Shiyu took care of his work, came in after taking a shower, groped into the quilt in the dark, and touched her belly that became flat when she lay down with his big warm hands for a while.

She noticed that he seemed very interested, turned over and hugged him, and let him go in silence.

……

Afterwards, she nestled into his arms, put her arms around his waist, stroked his stubbled cheeks with her hands, and asked softly, "You seem to be in a good mood today?"

He embraced her with one hand, stroking her smooth shoulders with his big palm, took a few sips of the mineral water on the bedside table with the other hand, and said with a smile: "The child is almost four months old, I am happy."

She knew that he was happy because of the progress of Fu Zhengye's case, but she couldn't bear to expose him. After all, even if Fu Zhengye was acquitted, there would be a lot of follow-up troubles.

She turned to tell him what happened in the inner court in the evening, and he was quite moved after hearing that, and asked her, "Will you regret it?"

"Of course not!" She rubbed her cheeks into his hot arms, and said firmly, "Because I love you, I can only feel lucky and have no regrets at all."

He sighed, hugged her tightly, buried his face in her fluffy hair, took a deep breath, and murmured: "I will always remember the sacrifice you made for the Fu family..."

Although she didn't mention to anyone that she missed the post of deputy director, how could Fu Shiyu not expect it?He didn't mention it, but he didn't want her to spend her time comforting him instead.

He knows her so well...

He didn't stop her from coming to the United States this time, because he knew that it was useless to stop her, she would still come, and he was very clear about her sense of responsibility to him and the Fu family.

Tang Xi'en nestled in Fu Shiyu's arms, almost falling asleep in a daze. Fu Shiyu hugged her and was about to close his eyes to rest... The surroundings were quiet and warm, and there was a deep love in the air.

Suddenly, a rapid vibration of the mobile phone broke the tranquility of the night.

　There are two more.
