Once Upon A One Night Stand

"I won't allow it!" The man said word by word. The thought that she no longer loved him filled his whole body with powerlessness and anxiety.

He could clearly feel the tension inside every inch of his body. He was not afraid both when that thing happened and when the lawsuit was not going well, but he was broken-hearted when hearing such a sentence from her.

No matter how strong a person was, he had his own weaknesses. In the past 30 years, weaknesses never haunted him, for he lived a pure and heartless life. Now she had become his weakness and a single sentence from her could wipe away all his hopes.

If she didn't love him, everything he did would be meaningless.

Shu Tian gripped the clothes hard, disappointed when finding him with no nostalgia or love in his eyes like before. "You can't control me, just like I can't control you. Li Han, I've never done anything sorry to you, and I can't hold on anymore..."

"So, you want to leave me?" The man's eyes instantly turned cold.

"It's you who forced me to leave!"

"Impossible." Li Han looked grim, standing tall in front of her like an insurmountable wall, but only he knew that he lost all his strength and could fall at any time when hearing this.

Shu Tian wiped the tears off her face and closed her eyes in pain.

"I have told you I wouldn't let you go. No matter when, I will tie you to my side."

He had said this countless times, but none of it scared Shu Tian. Hearing this, she was not moved or guilty but felt a sense of constrained urgency. "Will you even if I was in pain for the rest of my life?" "I won't let you suffer."

Shu Tian twitched her lips helplessly without saying anything.

"I'll send someone to look after you for the next few days if you don't want to see me. I'll try my best to get the best result for the case. You can beat me or scold me after the case is over." No one knew how painful Li Han felt when he said these words. He just hoped that these things would be solved quickly and stopped standing between him and Shu Tian anymore.

Taking the unintentional word seriously, Shu Tian felt that he was going his own way.

Li Han finally left.

Sitting in the interrogation room and looking at the white walls around her, she realized that her mood had changed drastically.

In the past, she was waiting for him to save her, but now, she was more like awaiting her doom.

It was not easy to leave, not to mention that this was the police station. Even outside, it was easy to find her with Li Han's influence and status.

Besides, Ye Lihua and Shu Changlei were still in J City. Actually, she had nowhere to go, and she had to support her parents. Although she might become a disgrace to them, she could not give up all of these. Thinking of what might happen, she was extremely flustered and anxious. The two pieces of printed paper were quietly placed on the table. If it weren't for the tear stains on them, she would have thought that everything just now was an illusion.

The slightest thought of Li Han betraying her made her so broken-hearted that she could not breathe. Moreover, he was speaking to her in a tone with a kind of non-negotiable order. He let her wait until the case was over.

Shu Tian looked grim, and her face was filled with gloom never seen before. She was afraid that they would end up being enemies.

She used to believe everything he said, but now she should think more about herself.

Staring at the two pieces of paper with a gloomy expression, she suddenly thought of a man who impressed her and immediately called the police to bring the phone to her.

After a long time with a busy signal, she didn't hear the sound until she thought that no one would pick it up, "Hello?"

The man's low voice came through the phone, like the sound of two fine jade stones colliding.

"Hello, Mr. Meng. This is Shu Tian." She held the wireless landline in both hands, having her heart in her mouth.

"Miss Shu?" Meng Shichuan was shocked since he didn't expect it to be her. "It's rare for you to come to me. What's the matter?"

"Mr. Meng, I want to ask you for a favor." Shu Tian didn't beat around the bush. "You've known about my case, and I want to ask you to help me change a lawyer when the trial is about to begin." "Change a lawyer?" Meng Shichuan was a little surprised, twirling slightly while sitting in the swivel chair. "You want to replace Li Han?"

"Well, I've met him." Shu Tian said with difficulty, "As you said, that's right."

Thinking that not long ago, she had sworn that Li Han would not do this, but it went athwart. Shu Tian had mixed feelings, and mostly, she was disappointed in that man.

It was he who betrayed her trust and love.

Thinking of this, she felt a strong hatred in her heart. She raised her voice and said again, "I want to replace the lawyer."

Meng Shichuan did not have an overreaction. He was neither happy nor unhappy. As he said, he simply wanted to help her. "The lawsuit will be held soon. It is not easy to replace the lawyer now. Moreover, Li Han will not let go easily in this matter."

"Then..."

"How about this? Let's make a bet." Meng Shichuan cut in in a frivolous but steady and firm tone. "Just bet that if Li Han really wants you to plead guilty in this case, I will take you away."

Shu Tian was no stranger to this sentence, which Meng Shichuan had told her countless times before. Because she was firm enough in her heart at that time and paid no attention to it before. Having other thoughts in her heart at this time, she naturally felt more convinced.

But she never wanted to escape, never.

"I can't leave now. I..."

Meng Shichuan interrupted her. "It's okay. I'll give you time to think about it. You can wait until the result of the case comes out."

Shu Tian bit her lip. "The lawyer really can't be replaced?"

"Well, it's too late now."

It was too late.

These words drove Shu Tian to a corner.

It had been so long before she realized something was wrong. It was too late to do anything. Meng Shichuan was just waiting for her to fall into the trap.

"Are you afraid?" The man deliberately provoked her.

Shu tian lowered her eyelids and unconsciously tightened her hands holding the phone. "I'm not afraid. I'm just not giving up yet."

Meng Shichuan replied, "It's okay. I'll wait until you give up."
