Cure the cold-faced general by solving crimes

Chapter 84 Can’t be happy

Throughout the afternoon, Jiang Xihe sat by the window sulking, occasionally crying.

She didn't eat dinner either. Pei Zhizhao took the official document to the inner chamber and stayed with her to digest her emotions.

"Sir, I have caused trouble for you." Jiang Xihe had been saying this all afternoon, and Pei Zhizhao patiently continued to comfort her, "It doesn't matter, I will judge you this way regardless of whether you wrote the complaint or not."

Jiang Xihe was unwilling, "I believe in myself too much."

She could not forget the moment when she opened Liu Quanan's airway and saw the foreign object. Xie Wumei's mocking mouth was repeatedly superimposed on this scene.

Pei Zhizhao put down the official document and walked to her side, picked up her hand and held it in his palm, "Isn't it wrong to believe in yourself?"

Jiang Xihe buried her head. She couldn't explain where her emotions came from. In the past few years, she had never lost when she wrote the petition, and never once had she been more worried than this time.

"None of us can predict the situation of the Liu family. We can only say that Huiren Medical Center is well prepared. They knew that Liu Quan'an had physical problems, but they still encouraged you to have an autopsy."

Jiang Xihe could not forget Xie Wumei's look before leaving. It was condescending, arrogant and unreasonable, which made her very heartbroken.

Pei Zhizhao consoled him, "In my opinion, it is entirely your fault that the Liu family can get the money. You don't have to blame yourself."

Jiang Xihe was still unhappy, feeling like a big stone was weighing on his heart.

Pei Zhizhao used his hands hard and rubbed along the edge of Jiang Xihe's fingers, "If you think about the happy things again, what did Sun Wuzuo say to you when he left?"

Jiang Xihe's depressed mood finally eased a little, "You praised me. When I was in Tongshan Mansion, I just watched and listened. This time I actually did it myself and it succeeded. Master is very happy."

The night was getting darker, and windproof lanterns were hung on the wall in the backyard of the county government office. They flickered and illuminated the night in the distance with a faint light.

Jiang Xihe still couldn't be happy.

Pei Zhizhao put his arm around her shoulders and let her lean on his shoulders.

Jiang Xihe sighed, burying himself in his chest, and his eye circles turned red again, "Sir, I am not a sentimental person, but I just felt so angry this time, especially when Xie Wumei accused our relationship in public. I hate Xie Chengshan for following the trend. They said in court Those words made Huiren Medical Center have a good reputation."

Pei Zhizhao could feel Jiang Xihe's little head nuzzling his heart, and he chuckled, "Xie Chengshan is happy if he is happy. Since Liu Quanan's death is not directly related to the hospital, they are businessmen. Isn't it normal to find opportunities to exaggerate themselves? ?”

Jiang Xihe gritted his teeth, "I just don't want them well. Wouldn't today's autopsy in court be like making wedding clothes for them?"

Pei Zhizhao laughed, "That's not like you. Tell me, why are you so prejudiced against Huiren Medical Center? Are you so resistant to the Xie family?"

Jiang Xihe couldn't figure out why, "I didn't like Xie Wumei when I first saw her."

Pei Zhizhao was dumbfounded, "If you don't want to see me, I'll see you. You won't see this person again in the future. You still want to delay your meal because of this person?"

Jiang Xihe was not in the mood, but thinking that Pei Zhizhao had been accompanying her all the time and not eating, Jiang Xihe leaned softly and cutely into his arms.

Jiang Xihe was embarrassed, "They talked about our marriage like that in court. Does it really matter, sir?"

Pei Zhizhao smiled, "What does it matter? We met because you are a lawyer. What can they say? I handle the case impartially and will not change one bit because of you. If I am afraid of this, how can I face our feelings?" ? On the contrary, why do you mind so much?"

Jiang Xihe also knew that she shouldn't be like this. Not to mention delaying Pei Zhizhao's work, it was pretentious for her to sit here.

Gathering his emotions, Jiang Xihe sighed, "I never expected that things would turn out like this. I have imagined countless endings, but the sad part is here. I have never thought about this real ending. "

Pei Zhizhao still remembers Jiang Xihe's vow at the beginning. She said that she was very sure of winning the lawsuit.

No matter how much comfort he said, it would only make Jiang Xihe more troubled. Pei Zhizhao stopped talking, patted Jiang Xihe's back, and silently looked at the mottled tree shadows outside the window.

Until Jiang Xihe said in Pei Zhizhao's ear, "Sir, let's go out for something to eat?" He knew that the weather had passed for her.

After walking out of the county office, the evening breeze blew in. Jiang Xihe straightened his sleeves and showed it to Pei Zhizhao, "Look, sir, I wore the long dress you bought for me today. I like it so much. I thought that the lawsuit would be won. It's a good day." Show off to you, and the result..."

In Pei Zhizhao's eyes, it may take a long time for Jiang Xihe to get over what happened today.

"It's the same now. In my mind, the two hundred taels of silver you won for the Liu family is a victory. Let me see, does this dress fit you?"

Pei Zhizhao took Jiang Xihe's hand and took a step forward, looking up and down. The clothes fit well, and Jiang Xihe's exquisite figure was outlined very enchantingly.

Pei Zhizhao's heart suddenly tightened. He was suddenly looking forward to getting married.

There was a wonton stall not far from the county government office. The big pot was boiling with steam. Jiang Xihe pointed, "Sir, let's have a bowl of wontons."

The wonton stall owners were an old couple. When the woman saw the guests coming, she started putting wontons into the pot. The man held a towel in his hand and wiped the table clean three times. He smiled and stepped back to the woman to help.

Jiang Xihe stared at the couple with his hands on his cheeks, and then looked at Pei Zhizhao when he had enough.

Pei Zhizhao smiled and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Jiang Xihe was all soft and cute, "Your Majesty has been with me all afternoon, I know it all, but I can't get over this hurdle in my heart. I always feel that I am sorry for your love and care."

Pei Zhizhao laughed, "You are the one I want to marry, and we will live many, many days in the future. If I don't accompany you, will I throw you to the window and cry alone?"

Jiang Xihe leaned on Pei Zhizhao's shoulder, "That's so kind of you, sir."

Pei Zhizhao didn't care about the old couple at the wonton stall. He put his arm around Jiang Xihe's waist with one hand and stroked her hair with the other. The moment Jiang Xihe tilted her head, he placed a kiss on her forehead.

His lips were warm and gentle. Jiang Xihe's heart tightened, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a red cloud flew onto her cheeks.

Pei Zhizhao whispered in her ear, "I have wanted to do this for a long time, will you be disgusted?"

Jiang Xihe didn't want to speak.

Pei Zhizhao whispered, "If you say you don't like it, I will never do it again."

How could you ask such a direct question?

Jiang Xihe blushed, hoping that Pei Zhizhao would stop asking, but because of these few words, Jiang Xihe's mood, which had been depressed all afternoon, finally cleared up.

Two bowls of steaming wontons were brought to the table. Pei Zhizhao picked up one with a spoon, cut it into two pieces with chopsticks, blew it again and again, and handed it to Jiang Xihe's mouth.

The old couple at the wonton stall pretended not to notice the intimacy between the two, smiling and shaking their heads.

Jiang Xihe's eyes narrowed, the moonlight shone into her eyes, and Pei Zhizhao handed the spoon to her mouth again. Jiang Xihe took it in one mouthful, and the aroma of meat instantly filled her mouth.

"Adults, eat too." This time it was Jiang Xihe's turn to feed Pei Zhizhao.

The two of them came back and forth, and the two bowls of wontons quickly reached the bottom.

Pei Zhizhao walked Jiang Xihe to the door of his house and stopped.

The lush hibiscus tree blocked most of the light in the alley.

Under the moonlight, Jiang Xihe's eyes were brighter and his lips were more delicate. Pei Zhizhao buried his head and held Jiang Xihe tightly in his arms...
