Chapter 133 Mother-in-law Comes to the Door
"Lawyer Qin, have you forgotten what our relationship is now? Your client sued me, and you asked me to meet your elders?"
She laughed softly, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice, "It's not convenient if I don't have time, but if Lawyer Qin withdraws the lawsuit, I will be free."
Qin Zhaoming did not expect what Ji Sisi said.
"Then there is still a chance to meet again. You will meet sooner or later."
Ji Sisi didn't say anything else and turned to talk to Xie Zhonghua.
Qin Zhaoming also wisely left.
In the evening, Ji Sisi and Xie Zhonghua were walking on their way back to the guesthouse.
Xie Zhonghua took the initiative to ask, "Do you know Lawyer Qin?"
"I don't know him, but he seems to know my husband. He was asked by my mother-in-law to help."
Xie Zhonghua stopped walking, his expression was incredulous yet complicated, "Your mother-in-law helped outsiders to sue you?"
Ji Sisi nodded. She blurred the details of Qi Yan and Shen Wanqing's occupations and just gave a general idea so that Xie Zhonghua would understand. Any more information would not help the case.
Xie Zhonghua suddenly smiled helplessly.
"Early this morning, I thought you and Chen Chen were husband and wife. I didn't expect that I misunderstood. I'm so sorry."
Ji Sisi was surprised and belatedly explained, "Professor Chen and I are friends. I am currently working in their institute, so we have some rapport."
"I understand now. Don't worry too much about this case. Based on the information we currently have, the chances of winning are very high."
"Well, thank you for your hard work later."
As they were talking, they arrived at the guesthouse and went back to their rooms.

Jianghai Detention Center.
Ji Nian was on the verge of collapse every day. She felt that her neurasthenia was very severe, especially since a new woman came across the street yesterday.
The crying sound was exactly the same as her mother's.
Ji Nian exhaled a breath and stared at the opposite side with resentful eyes.
Wang Cuifen felt a breath stuck in her chest and when she closed her eyes, she saw the scene of Ji Sisi talking about the house yesterday.
She was worried that she would be homeless after she was released. The factory dormitory was limited and she would definitely not be assigned one for a while.
Thinking of the factory, Wang Cuifen choked up and tears blurred her vision.
Now that this has happened, she's afraid that no one will want her to work for the rest of her life. How will those people view her in the future?
As she thought about it, Wang Cuifen's tears began to fall and she began to sob.
In the silent night, the intermittent sobbing made it impossible to fall asleep.
The first victim was Ji Nian on the opposite side.
Ji Nian couldn't stand it anymore and started to curse, "Shut up, is it because someone in your family died that you came here to attend such a funeral?"
Her voice had recovered halfway, but it was still hoarse and sounded like smoke.
Wang Cuifen was a little presbyopic. She couldn't see Ji Nian's face clearly in the dimly lit corridor, but she felt that the voice was somewhat familiar.
Ji Nian saw the person on the other side clearly through the railing.
It's really Wang Cuifen! Ji Nian turned around in shock, her heart pounding wildly, the only sound in her ears was her heartbeat.
How did her mother come in?
Ji Nian was full of questions.
Because of Wang Cuifen's presence, Ji Nian had trouble sleeping. He used to be able to sleep for four or five hours, but now he would wake up from nightmares just after falling asleep.

Shen Wanqing packed up carefully and prepared for the appointment.
Qin Zhaoming had been waiting downstairs for half an hour. When he saw his master's wife coming down, he went forward to inform her.
"Master's wife, Ji Sisi refused."
Shen Wanqing's well-maintained face flashed with surprise, "She didn't agree?"
"Well, she said she's not available unless the lawsuit is dropped."
Shen Wanqing's face was gloomy. "Did you say anything else?"
"No, she has also hired a lawyer. I met with the other party yesterday, and it seemed that the other party came prepared."
"Are you scared?" Shen Wanqing smiled, "But it's okay. I don't want you to win, but to send Ji Sisi to me as well."
"This may be difficult."
Qin Zhaoming couldn't help but frown, "Master's wife, as a lawyer, I have the responsibility to help my clients win every lawsuit."
"Did I ever say I want you to lose? I mean it doesn't matter if you lose. I don't care about Ji Nian's fate. I just don't like this pair of sisters. All I want is news about Yanyan."
As the trial date draws closer, Ji Nian's mouth becomes tighter and tighter. Before, he could still ask about Yanyan's recent situation, but now he can forget about it.
She just wanted to let Ji Sisi know that she, as the mother-in-law, didn't like Ji Sisi.
She would rather send this daughter-in-law to jail than acknowledge her!
Qin Zhaoming's frown deepened.
He felt that the master's wife in front of him was becoming more and more unfamiliar, as if she had become a completely different person since coming to Jianghai.
Or has he never seen his master's wife clearly?
"I will do my best, but that little charge is not enough to put Ji Sisi in jail. Master's wife, if you don't think highly of Ji Sisi, why didn't you stop Qi Yan in the first place?"
The Master’s wife is clearly an insider herself, don’t she understand this simple truth?
"I only knew about his marriage half a month earlier than you." Shen Wanqing's eyes were cold as ice and his voice was chilly.
Qin Zhaoming remained silent. The relationship between mother and son had always been cold, but he didn't expect it to be so strained.
"Come with me. I want to see the good daughter-in-law chosen by Qi Yan."
Shen Wanqing did not give up. She got up early for today and spent almost an hour packing.
"That's...ok."
This was the first time that Qin Zhaoming showed an unwilling expression in front of Shen Wanqing.
Shen Wanqing showed some dissatisfaction, "Zhaoming, why do you look unhappy?"
Qin Zhaoming then realized that his emotions were written on his face. After calming down, he began to explain bitterly.
"No, maybe I went to bed too late last night and didn't get enough rest."
"Well, go to bed early. The court session is only two days away. Once you have dealt with everything, you can return to the capital. I have already informed your teacher."
Qin Zhaoming nodded but didn't reply.
-
Qin Zhaoming didn't know where Ji Sisi was staying, and the only way to contact her was Liu Guihua.
After being comforted by Ji Sisi yesterday, Liu Guihua did not seem so afraid of this famous lawyer from the imperial capital.
"I don't know where Sisi lives either."
While Liu Guihua was speaking, she glanced at the woman behind Song Qinming.
Qin Zhaoming asked several times, but Liu Guihua was still unwilling to reveal it.
Shen Wanqing gradually lost her patience. She walked up to Liu Guihua and said, "I have something important to tell Ji Sisi. I am her mother-in-law. Can you tell me where she lives?"
Liu Guihua burst out laughing and looked at Shen Wanqing as if she were a fool.
"Sister, are you kidding me? Are you Sisi's mother-in-law?"
Liu Guihua just thought it was ridiculous because Ji Sisi's husband's family was in the northwest.
The woman looked at least seven or eight years younger than her. Liu Guihua remembered that the material of the clothes she was wearing cost 6 yuan per foot.
Although the woman didn't have much jewelry on her, the bracelet on her hand looked expensive.
With all her clothes, she would look at least fifty years old. How could such a person be Sisi's mother-in-law?
Liu Guihua urged the two to leave.
"Or you can leave your address and I can tell Sisi when the time comes."
"Lawyer Qin, my aunt Liu's workplace is a place that provides services to the public. Shouldn't you go to the Public Security Bureau to find someone?"
Ji Sisi's voice came from behind.
