The devil affectionately calls me a bad guy

"I went to work normally."

Li Lin now sat more relaxed. Even if he was a top student after graduation, he still had to be a tool.

"After becoming an executive, I felt that something was missing from my life, so I took the postgraduate entrance exam."

Li Lin's heart skipped a beat.

"Failed."

"No, I passed it in one try. It wasn't that difficult unexpectedly."

Damn, what a genius!

"Then, you don't think that the postgraduate entrance examination is not very difficult, so you can study for a doctorate at the same time," Li Lin complained subconsciously.

"Not really. Although I have such an idea, I met my current wife when I was a graduate student. If I had continued to study for a doctorate, we would not have much time to spend together," Dai Lin's eyes showed a glimmer of light, but soon dimmed.

The good things in the past were like thorns entangled in his body. He could not forget them, nor was he willing to get rid of them. He was tortured by them all the time.

"And then?" Li Lin narrowed his eyes and tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

"Considering a better life after marriage, we decided to develop in a bigger city," Dai Lin smiled bitterly, and then the nightmare began.

"There's one thing I don't understand," Li Lin crossed his arms and leaned back, "Is there any necessary connection between wanting a better life in the future and deciding to move to a bigger city?"

"This one……"

"Going to another city means you have to give up your current good job and start over. You'll need a new house, and all your expenses will increase exponentially," Li Lin held his forehead and sighed. "What kind of better life is this? Ah, sorry, please continue."

"Well... then with my wife's encouragement, I invested most of my savings into starting a business," Dai Lin lowered his head little by little.

Li Lin could guess this reaction even if Dai Lin didn't say it. The business venture was definitely a failure.

Places that can bring a better quality of life are often accompanied by terrifying competition. Industries are already saturated, and the only result of starting a business without connections and sufficient foundation is to be defeated.

"So, how many times have you started a business?" Li Lin held his forehead and sighed.

In order to have a better life, people abandon their existing high-quality life and throw themselves into a huge meat grinder. As a result, both bones and meat are chopped into pieces and become food for others.

"three times."

Li Lin opened his mouth, raised his hands and gestured for a long time before complaining weakly, "Excuse me, have you ever watched Chinese TV series?"

Dai Lin silently raised his hands and covered his face.

He understood what Li Lin meant. His current experience was exactly like the miserable character in a Chinese drama. He gave up his current easy life for the so-called better life, and then his life became more and more miserable.

Although I don't want to admit it at all, he is a domestic violence and drug addict, and he is definitely a useless character who drags down the heroine in domestic TV dramas.

"By the way, Mr. Dai Lin, what does your wife do and how much is her salary?"

"For the sake of our family, she gave up her graduate studies and her job, choosing to be a housewife at home," Dai Lin shrank his fist, "I owe her too much."

Li Lin held his chin up and leaned back slightly.

First of all, he is not prejudiced against women. He strongly supports the idea that women can hold up half the sky. But now he is thinking on the premise that Dai Lin is innocent, which means he must find a reasonable explanation for Dai Lin's domestic violence and drug use, and the best way to explain a bad behavior is to shift the blame to others.

"If your wife continued to study for a master's degree at that time, would it have worked?" Li Lin blinked.

"Well..."

Dai Lin's expression suddenly became subtle, his eyes flickered, and he was reluctant to look Li Lin in the eye.

"I understand. Even if your wife continued to study for a master's degree, she wouldn't be able to do so, so she had to give up for you," Li Lin concluded.

"That's not the case! My wife is just...she's just a little distracted because of me. As long as she works hard, as long as she works hard to concentrate and turn her attention from her bags and cosmetics... back to her studies..."

As he spoke, Dai Lin's voice became lower and lower, and his head lowered.

Well, it's a bitch...

"Well, I understand what you mean. Don't force yourself," Li Lin sighed. "It's not because your salary after marriage is not enough for your wife to buy bags and cosmetics wantonly, so your wife wants you to start a business in a bigger city. If you become a big boss, you can buy bags and cosmetics at will."

"Well - she, she has done so much for me, of course I should be nice to her, she gave up her job for me..."

"She was fired, right? Because of her bad attitude."

Dai Lin's expression froze, and he opened his mouth to refute, but in the end he couldn't say anything, so he could only lower his head helplessly.

"Ha... a jerk man will drag down a good woman," Li Lin sighed and leaned back, "Similarly, a jerk woman will drag down an honest and good man. It has nothing to do with whether they are men or women. All scumbags are the same. Although, most people now think you are the scumbag."

"I, no, my wife is just a little, immature..."

"Really, Mr. Dai Lin, I won't beat around the bush with you. Although there is substantial evidence of domestic violence and drug abuse, there are reasons to prove your innocence," Li Lin spread his hands.

"Then I'll leave it to you—"

Before Dai Lin could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Lin in a louder voice.

"But your life can no longer be restored. All kinds of..."

Li Lin laughed faintly.

“The meaning has changed.”

Chapter 248: Cheating Depends on the Situation

Perhaps he understood what Li Lin was going to do, as Dai Lin fell into a long silence until the meeting time was up. He left the meeting room under the guidance of the police officer without saying another word.

Li Lin sighed deeply, put the information back into his bag, reached out and grabbed Xiyu's arm, carried Xiyu, who had not yet woken up, on his back, and left the meeting room.

Dai Lin's autistic behavior, like burying his head in the ground, was within his expectations.

After all, Dai Lin is a typical honest and good person.

This goodness lies not only in his character, but also in his ability. Not to mention that he was able to get into that university, he was able to work as an executive and take the postgraduate entrance examination at the same time, and he passed the examination. It can be seen how strong Dai Lin's personal ability is. In comparison, Dai Lin's wife is much more subtle, but from Dai Lin's words and expressions, it can be seen that Dai Lin's wife is capable, but has big problems with her character, and she quit her job by being fired.

Logically speaking, such a daughter would often be suspected of being the problematic party in such family dispute cases.

But Dai Lin had two fatal buffs on his head. The first was that his domestic violence was witnessed by many people, and he even resorted to knife fighting in the end. The second was that he was found to have a two to three-year history of drug abuse.

These two buffs are extremely likely to arouse public resentment. Dai Lin is an excellent person with a good personality, and has nothing to do with domestic violence and drug abuse. However, there is a reason in Dai Lin's head that makes people believe that he would commit domestic violence and drug abuse.

I failed in starting a business three times.

One failure can make a person fall from grace. Dai Lin failed in his business three times. His comfortable life fell into a slump three times. Dai Lin's wife had to start over again to find a job to support the family. According to the routine of domestic dramas, Dai Lin's wife thrived after finding a job, while Dai Lin could not get back on his feet. The huge gap caused Dai Lin to turn into a parasite.

Regardless of whether this is the case or not, the onlookers will automatically imagine it this way.

Up to now, Dai Lin's rebuttal to the verdict has been extremely powerful.

Facing accusations of domestic violence, Dai Lin said that he did commit domestic violence, but he did not know why he did so.

Facing the accusation of drug use, Dai Lin said that he had never touched those things, but he cooperated quite well with the inspection report provided by the prosecutor and did not make a fuss and say that it was a false accusation.

How should I put it? He is indeed a good person. If he really committed domestic violence against a drug addict, he would most likely grit his teeth and never admit that he had done such a thing.

Unfortunately, this subjective judgment cannot serve as evidence of innocence.

As for Dai Lin’s wife, she only needed to show her wound and there was no need to explain anything.

"Um..."

Xiyu moaned softly, and the arm on Li Lin's shoulders tightened slightly. She buried her face in Li Lin's neck and turned it gently, as if she had not slept yet.

"Don't sleep, Lawyer Xiyu..."

Seeing that Xiyu looked like she was about to fall asleep again, Li Lin sighed deeply and squeezed his hands tightly on Xiyu's thighs.

"The sun is shining on my butt."

"Well--"

Xiyu withdrew her hands and pressed them on Li Lin's shoulders. She raised her head slightly and looked around in confusion. All her hair slowly fell down, and Xiyu reacted.

“Uh-oh—”

Because her brain was too confused, Xiyu hugged Li Lin's neck with a red face and screamed. Passersby turned their heads to look at them. Xiyu's face suddenly became redder. She immediately lowered her head and buried her face in Li Lin's neck, shivering.

It seems that there is no way to regain composure for the time being.

Li Lin sighed, looked around and walked towards a coffee shop.

Xiyu held the coffee, lowered her head and said nothing.

She only remembered that Dai Lin was shaken by the shock of her determined eyes, and then she woke up on Li Lin's back.

"Lawyer Xiyu, don't you remember anything?" Li Lin sighed.

"Well, this..."

Xiyu's eyes flickered. As a lawyer, she fell asleep during a conversation with her client and didn't remember anything...

"Of course I remember!"

So embarrassing.

"Really?" Li Lin held his chin with his right hand and gently shook the coffee in his left hand. "Lawyer, you don't remember anything, right?"

If Xiyu remembered, he would have been pushed into the police car by now.

"Goo-"

Xiyu swallowed hard and wanted to refute, but she really didn't remember anything. After staring at Li Lin for a minute without giving up, Xiyu lowered her head.

"Lawyer Xiyu, you are amazing," Li Lin chuckled. "You made Dai Lin burst into tears and said he would atone for his sins in court. But you seemed to be too tired and fell asleep because of the effort."

"Eh! Is that really the case?!"

Xiyu stood up with shining eyes, extremely excited. This was the development she had been looking forward to the most. Under her firm gaze and inspirational words, Dai Lin turned over a new leaf and admitted his guilt. Although she could not resist Cao Cao's request, it was impossible for Cao Cao to forcibly change his client's wishes.

"Yes, that's true," Li Lin nodded with a smile and quietly moved his waist bag behind his back. "I really admire you, lawyer."

Xiyu blushed, subconsciously straightened her chest, and coughed softly, "Ahem - of course! As long as I make up my mind, there is nothing I can't do!"

"Yes, yes, then lawyer, you go back and sort out the information and try to reduce Dai Lin's sentence," Li Lin nodded, "I'll go meet Dai Lin's wife."

"Hmm? Going to see the defendant..." Xiyu held her chin in thought for a while and then said seriously, "I want to go too!"

"No, Lawyer Xiyu, you can't go."

"Hey! Why!"

"Don't forget your identity, Lawyer Xiyu." Li Lin raised his fingers and tapped the table lightly. "You are a notorious bad lawyer. If you show up... the defendant will probably think you are trying to use some trick to refuse to meet."

"Goo-"

Although Xiyu was very unwilling and wanted to refute, she had no idea how to refute. After struggling for a long time, Xiyu fell on the table like a deflated balloon.

"Then I'll leave it to you. If the defendant is willing to settle with us, it will be more convenient for us."

"Then I'll leave first."

Li Lin smiled and pushed the bill towards Xiyu, then quickly picked up his backpack and left.

Looking at the bill in front of her, Xiyu opened her mouth and sighed, then silently picked up the coffee and took a sip.

"so bitter……"

"Did you lie to Xiyu or Dailin?"

After Li Lin left the coffee shop, Lu Qin immediately floated out.

"Or did both of them lie?"

"Who knows~ I won't make any judgments before I see Dai Lin's wife in person, but she's a bad woman..."

Li Lin paused and raised the corners of his mouth.

"Sure enough, we still have to find a bad woman to judge."

Chapter 249 You, are just changing clothes, right?

For a moment, Li Lin felt that he had come to the wrong place and met the wrong person. Subconsciously, Li Lin took another look at the door number, and it was indeed the door number mentioned in Ye Zhirou's text message. Li Lin reached out and touched the face of the woman who peeked out from the crack in the door.

It really felt like Ye Zhirou's face.

But what's going on? Is this woman with messy hair, dark circles under her eyes, and a drained look, really the materialistic Ye Zhirou who is always so refined?

Li Lin hesitated for a moment, then moved his hand that was touching Ye Zhirou's face down and touched the clothes on Ye Zhirou's chest.

What's up with this extremely tacky outfit!

"You, wouldn't you..."
