Ji Liangchuan, I have loved you for so many years IV
Chapter 2 Indelible Zhang Yi
Chapter 2 Indelible Memories
The next morning, Ji Liangchuan was in charge of waking up one big and one small, making a fuss and getting up a little angry, he half-opened his eyes and yelled at his father: "Dad hates..."
Ji Liangchuan's "wound" that hadn't healed last night opened again. He squeezed his little face helplessly and said, "Nao Nao, if you don't get up again, Mom will be angry."
Then the little guy immediately opened his eyes, opened his arms and asked Ji Liangchuan to hug him.Ji Liangchuan smiled and hugged him up from the cot, coaxing him to put on his clothes and shoes.
Shen Meng also finished packing before entering the master bedroom. Seeing that the father and son were almost packed, after a quick breakfast, they went straight to the childcare center in the city center.
Unexpectedly, the construction area of this childcare center is so large. At first, Shen Meng thought it was just a privately run small unit building. There are many famous cars parked in the parking lot in the front square. It seems that only people with status bring their children here. Train here.
Ten minutes before leaving class, Ji Liangchuan pulled Nao Nao to walk ahead, and Shen Meng followed closely behind.That little devil couldn't walk well, he insisted on jumping over, and several middle-aged women passing by couldn't help but look at him, and praised him again and again: "This kid is really good-looking, look at those big eyes, The one with a small high nose bridge is still so white."
"Yeah, mom and dad look good, no wonder."
Shen Meng smiled embarrassedly at those people, and hurried over to drag the little devil forward. According to his jumping method, he would have to be late in the past.
After arriving in the classroom, most of the parents and children have already arrived. They are the last couple, looking at them with unison eyes.Shen Meng was a little embarrassed, but who knew that little devil still felt very proud, and smiled happily under everyone's eyes, Shen Meng was a little speechless, and quickly hugged him to find a corner seat and pulled Ji Liangchuan to sit down.
A teacher on the stage was obviously a little dissatisfied with their family, and immediately said: "The parents and children should all be here, this child's affairs can't be pinched, and it's a bad thing for the child if he doesn't listen to a little bit." This is so irresponsible, I hope that everyone here can come to the classroom a little earlier in the future."
Seeing that everyone around them was looking at them, Shen Meng blushed a little at the moment. Looking at Ji Liangchuan and Ji Muchen, the two Ji Liangchuan and Ji Muchen, they were completely unaware and just whispering to themselves. Sometimes thick-skinned is also a kind of happiness .
The class is some very simple common sense of life, such as teaching the baby to wash his hands before meals every day, not to walk around while eating, and the time for the baby to watch cartoons for no more than four hours a day. What Ji Liangchuan taught his little devil was basically the same as usual, and Shen Meng felt that what Ji Liangchuan taught was more comprehensive than this teacher.Sometimes for the sake of educating Nao Nao, he can give many examples in an instant, with a childlike interest, so that Nao Nao can quickly integrate into his education, and the effect is needless to say.
Shen Meng was thinking about it, when suddenly a childish voice of dissatisfaction came from her ear, and suddenly, she was about to break out in a cold sweat!
"Teacher! These fathers have taught them! I don't want to listen to the noise!"
This little devil is going to piss her off!
The laughter of the parents suddenly came from the ears, the teacher on the stage was a little embarrassed, and after a blink of an eye, he calmed down and said: "My child, maybe the other children don't know?"
Ji Liangchuan held onto Nao Nao's shoulder dumbfounded and said in a low voice, "Nao Nao, it's very impolite to interrupt the teacher, be quiet and listen carefully."
Nao Nao bit his lip, nodded and stopped talking.At the critical moment, this little devil still listened to Ji Liangchuan very much.
After that, Nao Nao really didn't say a word, and listened carefully the whole time, which made Shen Meng very relieved.
Just 10 minutes after she calmed down, she saw a 30-year-old woman sitting next to Ji Liangchuan, who was gentle and virtuous, and had a relatively mature temperament. She had been whispering to Ji Liangchuan all the time, and Shen Meng immediately leaned over and stretched her ears to eavesdrop. .
"Your son is really a very smart type. He is only three years old. My son is four years old, and he still can't reach this level. At most, he can understand what adults say, and he can speak sentences quite neatly, but he is not as good as himself. The ability to think, let alone make your own judgments on external information." The woman said.
"Really? At the age of four, he should be able to interact with adults a lot and have the ability to think independently. Is your son quite introverted?" Ji Liangchuan asked patiently.
"Hey, it's all because my husband and I are usually too busy. When we get home, we just put him to sleep and rarely play with him. Maybe he feels too lonely." The woman said worriedly.
Seeing this, Shen Meng thought the two of them were just exchanging ideas about raising children, so they didn't think much about it.
After a while, there was a burst of low laughter from the side, and the woman laughed so hard that her face was still blushing.Shen Meng was stunned, and immediately pulled Ji Liangchuan's arm and looked at him with a smile, "Honey, I'm thirsty, can you buy me a bottle of orange juice and come back?"
Ji Liangchuan patted her head: "Okay."
Instead, he politely said to the woman next to him, "Excuse me, I'll go out for a while."
"Okay, you go." The woman replied very gently.
Seeing Ji Liangchuan leaving through the back door, Shen Meng immediately sat next to the woman.The woman was startled, and smiled politely, and she also smiled hypocritically, ignoring her.
After waiting for a while, Ji Liangchuan came back with a bottle of orange juice and a can of milk, only to find that his seat seemed to have been forcibly changed, and he glanced at the lady awkwardly, who also glanced at him, and said nothing What.He sat down and handed the milk to the little devil. The little devil listened quite seriously, and when he saw that his father bought him milk, he immediately "giggled" and said, "Thank you, dad!"
This guy, he kisses whoever feeds him, he can see it.
Then he handed the orange juice to Her Lady Queen, who looked a little unhappy beside her. Shen Meng glared at him, took the orange juice and drank it, ignoring him.
During the break, Ji Liangchuan made noise in the classroom, while Shen Meng went to the bathroom.As soon as I entered, I heard a woman's voice inside: "Simeng, are you hungry, let Dad take us to eat delicious food later, okay?"
The voice sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember where she heard it. However, when she turned around and saw the mother and daughter, she froze in place.The memory of more than two years ago suddenly drilled into her mind, those happy, happy, sad, resentful, all kinds of emotions flowed through her heart, these complex emotions almost overwhelmed her A heart that was already at peace.
The person opposite also noticed that there was a person standing there in a daze at the door, so she raised her head, and then she was also in a daze, and the two of them were speechless for a while.The baby in the woman's arms was looking at her, a stranger, with wide-eyed eyes. The facial features and eyes were so similar, so much like her father.
Shen Meng's heart suddenly felt like being bitten by a vicious snake, and it hurt like a needle prick.
Chen Yajie first broke the silence with a slight smile: "Sister Shen Meng, long time no see. In fact, I saw you in the classroom just now, but I didn't have a chance to say hello. How are you doing?"
Shen Meng knew that he must have seen her too. She and Ji Liangchuan were the last to arrive, so she didn't pay attention to who was sitting in the classroom at all, but those who arrived early must have seen her.For a moment, she felt a little flustered in her heart.
"I'm fine. My son is quite naughty. You... are my daughter. I remember Hong Dou telling me that she was my son?" Shen Meng also smiled.
Chen Yajie suddenly grinned: "Yes, Hongdou is the savior of me and Simeng. Last time I was kidnapped, Hongdou saved our mother and daughter. Later, she came to see me once after I was rescued, saying that I was carrying When she looked at me, she felt very heavy, she must be a big fat boy, you said her speech is unscientific, haha!"
Shen Meng also laughed, and then she couldn't laugh anymore. Looking at the little girl's cute face, she asked Chen Yajie in a low voice, "Her name is Du Simeng?"
What a sad name.
Chen Yajie looked down at the little man in her arms, but her expression was very gentle: "Well, he got up, he's a brain, it's not like you don't know."
Shen Meng suddenly felt very uncomfortable. She felt sorry for Chen Yajie, but she didn't know how to comfort her. She felt that if she said anything, it would be like hurting her.
Seeing her solemn expression, Chen Yajie smiled and said: "Sister Shen Meng, don't think too much, and don't feel guilty about me. I have never regretted choosing him. I really love him and know that he will be the best in my life. It is impossible to forget you. I respect that he keeps a part of his own small world in his heart. In fact, I have exchanged a lot of what I want. He is very good to me and Simeng now. I believe that although he has no love for me, he still loves me. There is already a strong family relationship, so don't blame yourself anymore, okay?"
She felt sore in her heart, and walked over to hold their mother and daughter together with her little Simeng. Chen Yajie knew that she was feeling uncomfortable, and patted her on the back: "It's okay, we are fine, you and Your lover and son will be fine too."
Shen Meng wet her eyes and nodded fiercely.
After she calmed down a bit, she asked Chen Yajie: "Where are others? Are they in the classroom?"
Chen Yajie shook her head: "No, when he saw you in the classroom just now, he went out through the back door and said he was waiting for us in the parking lot."
"Yajie, I want to meet him, I hope you don't mind." Shen Meng said suddenly.
Chen Yajie nodded: "It's okay, let's go, I will take Simeng to continue the class."
"Simeng, say goodbye to Auntie." Chen Yajie coaxed the little man in her arms.
The little girl said "goodbye, auntie" very well.
Shen Meng couldn't help touching her little face: "Goodbye, Si Meng."
With an uneasy heart, Shen Meng found the elevator and directly pressed the basement floor. Looking at the jumping numbers in the elevator, she felt that her heart was also jumping along with these numbers. Anxiety and panic were intertwined in her heart, making her steps tremble. Some confusion.
In the huge parking lot, she looked around and searched for the car that belonged to him in her memory.She remembered that during the period of their relationship, he used most of his savings to buy a high-end car in order to pick her up every day, just to be worthy of her and to make it convenient for her to come and go.Maybe because of the connection between the memories between them, even if he is richer now than in the past, he would not change the car, so she stubbornly searched for the shadow of that car.
After searching for a while, she really saw a shadow that looked like it.When I got closer, I found that the car, the license plate, and the aromatherapy in the car hadn't been changed. Sure enough, this person is really one-sided, and what he believes is a lifetime.
It's just that there was no one in the car, she looked around and saw smoke curling up behind a pillar, suddenly she held her breath, and her voice almost slid out from the deepest part of her throat: "Little belly, is it you?"
She obviously felt the sudden shock of the smoke, and the person behind the pillar threw the smoke on the ground and ran away.Seeing that familiar figure from behind, Shen Meng thought, chased after him and called him, "Little Belly!"
He was running so fast that Shen Meng couldn't catch up with his high heels, and sprained his ankle all of a sudden, she fell to the ground and let out a cry of surprise.The back suddenly froze, he hesitated, turned his face slightly, wanted to look but didn't dare to look, his voice was low and hoarse: "How are you?"
After so many years, he still cares about her so much.
Shen Meng's ankle was twisted badly. She tried to stand up, but her injured foot couldn't exert any strength. She could only look at Du Xiaohang who was opposite and said, "Don't run, I just want to see you, nothing else .”
Du Xiaohang turned his head away in pain, but he didn't dare to go any further. After a long silence, he said, "I promised you that I would never see you in this life... I have already hurt you, at least, I don't want to break my promise to you again." you."
In a word, it made her heartbroken.
"I'll call you for an ambulance." Du Xiaohang said as he took out his cell phone.
"No, I'm fine." Shen Meng stopped him, and asked again, "How have you been these few years?"
Du Xiaohang was silent, and it took a while to reply: "It's pretty good."
"Why do you have to be called Simeng? Why bother?" Shen Meng lowered her head and said in a deep voice.
There was silence.
I don't know when the sunny and cheerful boy will become the taciturn man who likes to smoke today, maybe it's all because of her.
"Is your ankle badly twisted? Do you really need to call an ambulance?" Du Xiaohang asked, still turning his back to her.
Looking at his tall but thin back, she shook her head, gritted her teeth, and wanted to stand up by herself. Just as she was about to shift her weight to the other foot, someone suddenly supported her arm to stand up, and another indifferent voice sounded: "Don't worry about it, I'll take her to the hospital."
Both of them were startled, it was Ji Liangchuan.She looked up at him, without any warmth in her eyes, staring straight at a figure in front of her, with a cool tone.
Du Xiaohang stopped talking and just stood there silently.
The Nao Nao next to him was already able to read words and expressions at such a young age, seeing that his parents' expressions were not very good and he dared not speak, he held Ji Liangchuan's other hand and stood there solemnly.
Ji Liangchuan helped Shen Meng up, walked all the way to his car, opened the door and helped her sit in.
The car started, and a harsh sound echoed in the empty parking lot.When the car passed by Du Xiaohang, Shen Meng looked out of the window and kept looking at him. With just a quick look, her heart was full of holes.
He was thinner, had a beard, and his hair was cut short, but he was not in good spirits.Why is there such an expression, as if he is also trapped in memories and cannot come out.
When they got to the hospital, Ji Liangchuan didn't say a word to her, and Nao Nao didn't even dare to speak.
After the hospital prescribed a lot of medicines for external application, Ji Liangchuan took them to dinner.At the dinner table, he has been taking good care of Shen Meng, serving her food, telling her not to eat anything carelessly, and taking the time to play around, but she still can't see the slightest warmth in his eyes, she knows he is angry , he was trying to regulate his emotions.
At night, after putting Nao Nao to sleep, Shen Meng went to the study to find Ji Liangchuan.He was typing on his laptop, looking very focused.She walked over and put the hot milk on his table and said, "Drink the milk, don't work too late, I'll go to bed first."
Ji Liangchuan didn't look at her, and responded lightly: "Okay."
Then, she walked back to the room, simply climbed into bed and fell asleep.
The next day, she was still walking with a limp, but she didn't want to delay Jiang Yifei's case any longer. This head injury was just right, and her foot was sprained again. She really should be careful recently.
Before leaving, Ji Liangchuan took her bag and said bluntly: "I'll see you off, your foot is injured, it's not safe to drive."
With a warm heart, Shen Meng nodded obediently.
Along the way, he didn't speak to her, and he sent her to Xiangri before leaving.She was also in a panic. It wasn't that she didn't want to explain to him, she hated the atmosphere between them.But what's the use of explaining, Du Xiaohang will always be the knot between the two of them, so let time fade it away.
A few days later, Jiang Yifei's case was settled in court, and Shen Meng limped to court with a foot injury.This was something she had never done before, and she inevitably felt a little out of control.But without further ado, she doesn't know the details of Chi Cheng, and it is very likely that he will be bought by Zhou Bingyan, who will turn right and wrong in court, and fabricate some empty evidence, so that she will be unable to argue at that time, which will make it easier for Zhou Bingyan.
After both sides sat down, Shen Meng saw that the judge's expression obviously didn't pay much attention to pre-court mediation, as if he had left the matter to Shen Meng and Chi Cheng.Zhou Bingyan over there had a serious face and a calm expression. He kept looking away and didn't want to take another look at Jiang Yifei.Looking at his indifferent eyes, Jiang Yifei opened her mouth with heartache: "Zhou Bingyan, let me ask you, do you dislike Coco? It's because you always wanted a son, that's why you left us mother and daughter in the cold, right?"
Chi Cheng immediately turned his gaze to Zhou Bingyan, reminding him to be cautious in his words and deeds.Zhou Bingyan had been trained by Chi Cheng before coming here, so she didn't dare to speak too casually, but explained in a calm tone: "No, I'm just busy with work."
"No matter how busy you are at work, you don't come home only two or three times a week, right? When you see Ke Ke, you don't play with her at all, and you don't answer me even more. Are you someone outside?"
As soon as the words came out, Zhou Bingyan frowned suddenly, and looked at her with wide eyes: "What did you say?"
Chi Cheng answered immediately: "Ms. Jiang, please don't make unsubstantiated guesses about my client, we can sue you for defamation."
Jiang Yifei was taken aback suddenly, pointed at Chi Cheng's nose and said, "I slander you? You're never married, and you're not a woman. How can you understand my uneasiness? Did you charge Zhou Bingyan a lot of money!"
Shen Meng immediately pulled Jiang Yifei's sleeve vigorously, and reminded her in a low voice: "Ms. Jiang, calm down, your attitude will easily cause the judge's dissatisfaction in court, and you can't say such words!"
Jiang Yifei wasn't such an unqualified shrew at first, she was confused by Zhou Bingyan's anger, so she forgot her sense of proportion for a while.She gradually calmed down: "Lawyer Shen, I don't accept the settlement, I must divorce this person."
In the end, the pre-trial mediation failed, and Jiang Yifei was determined to file a divorce lawsuit to let Zhou Bingyan leave the house.
In the end, there was another quarrel, and Shen Meng had no choice but to start preparing for the first trial.
After coming out of the court, Jiang Yifei was depressed and said a few words to her before leaving.Shen Meng was waiting for the car at the door, when Ji Liangchuan sent her a text message, the content was simple: wait for me to pick you up.
She was very touched in her heart. He was obviously angry, but he was still reluctant to let her go to and from get off work alone when her foot was injured.She pursed her lips, feeling the need to apologize to him, the most important thing for two people to be together is to communicate.
Just as he was thinking, a car next to him slowly pulled up, and a person poked his head out of it.Chi Cheng looked at her with a playful smile and said, "Hey! Shall I see you off?"
Shen Meng glared at him, subconsciously, she had already classified Chi Cheng as the No. [-] person like Zhou Bingyan, so her original sense of admiration for him was gone.She didn't even bother, and turned around to wait for her husband in another place.
Seeing her, Chi Cheng didn't seem very happy, so he immediately got out of the car and stood in front of her: "Hey, you can't treat me and Zhou Bingyan as the same kind of people. I'm just his lawyer, so of course I'm going to speak for him. Jiang Yifei If you can’t understand, I understand, and you, as a lawyer, can’t and don’t understand me either!”
Shen Meng looked at him coldly, and asked him with a cold snort: "Then let me ask you, is Zhou Bingyan having an affair?"
Chi Cheng firmly denied: "No."
"How do you know he's not there?" Shen Meng didn't bother to talk to him.
Seeing that he couldn't give a reason, when Shen Meng was confronting him, Ji Liangchuan called.When she picked it up, she seemed a little anxious: "Mengmeng, I have a temporary video call with an attending physician from the United States. I sent a driver to pick you up. Where are you now?"
When Shen Meng heard that it was a video call about Ji Yuankang's treatment over there, she immediately said to him: "No need, it happens that my friend is here, and he has a car to take me there."
Ji Liangchuan didn't push back any further: "Alright then, let me know when you get home."
Seeing that he was anxious, she didn't dare to delay him any longer, she hung up the phone after saying a few words in a hurry, turned her head and said to Chi Cheng, "Send me off."
Chi Cheng suddenly gave a "puchi" smile: "Why are you still acting like a young lady? Count me as unlucky, get in the car."
Shen Meng didn't know what was going on, but she couldn't be polite to Chi Cheng at all.It stands to reason that when they were in college, the two of them had different elective courses, and the general courses were all sitting on one side of the other, so they were not familiar with each other at all.But these few times she met him, she was always so rude to him without any hesitation, as if she had known him for a long time, maybe it was because of this person's natural feeling of being close to others.
Chi Cheng was driving the car over there, and suddenly said: "By the way, let's go have a meal together. There is a good beef brisket noodles nearby. Have you tried it?"
Shen Meng shook her head: "No, I happen to be hungry too, so treat me."
"Okay, okay, I really admire you."
After the two found the beef brisket noodles, they went in and ordered two bowls of the signature beef brisket noodles. Shen Meng just felt hungry, but she didn't have much appetite. Unexpectedly, the big bowl of beef brisket noodles came up, and the aroma made her have an appetite immediately. Not to mention picking up the chopsticks to eat, there is no image, and Chi Cheng on the opposite side is taken aback: "Are you so hungry?"
"It's so fragrant and delicious. I'll recommend some good restaurants in the future." Shen Meng didn't show politeness to him, and asked for another drink after a while.
Chi Cheng was not angry, but smiled instead: "It's really easy to feed, a bowl of noodles is so delicious."
Shen Meng raised his eyes and stared at him, he was startled suddenly, as if remembering something important, he handed her his mobile phone and said, "Hurry up and take a picture of me, make it look better, and eat later."
Shen Meng took over the phone in doubt and pointed it at him: "What are you doing? You are a big man and you still take pictures? Besides, you don't know how to take selfies?"
"Every time I take a selfie, I feel very unnatural. Why don't others take pictures of me, make me look handsome!" Chi Cheng said while posing.
Shen Meng asked him to take a few photos at several angles and then handed him the phone. Chi Cheng took it over and looked at it, and was quite satisfied and praised that she knew how to choose the angle, and the photos she took were much better than the ones she took herself.
"What are you going to do?"
"Log in to the dating website and use it! Otherwise, what else can you do?" Chi Cheng said frankly.
Shen Meng couldn't help squinting and smiling, with some sauce still on the corners of her mouth, she looked at him and said, "Don't just talk nonsense when you see a pretty girl? If you are cheated, you will embarrass our lawyer."
Chi Cheng looked a little embarrassed by her eyes, immediately turned his eyes away, and muttered in a low voice: "Rabbits don't eat grass by the side of the nest, rabbits don't eat grass by the side of the nest, rabbits don't eat grass by the side of the nest..."
Shen Meng looked at him puzzled: "What are you talking about? Eat quickly!"
Chi Cheng let out an "oh" and didn't say anything else, just staring at the powder.
It wasn't until Shen Meng was sent home that Chi Cheng said, "You limp, can you fight me in court?"
Shen Meng rolled his eyes at him: "We are fighting with words and not with feet, so let's stop here, I can go up by myself."
"Are you sure you don't need someone to help you?" Chi Cheng asked her.
She waved her hand, obviously thinking he was long-winded.
"Hey, by the way, you should think about that matter, but it really won't work, let's split it into four, you give four and I give six, how about it?" Chi Cheng asked her again.
She stood at the door and thought for a while: "I'll think about it again, go back and see you in court."
Look at what this sentence said, and immediately made him her enemy.He sat in the car with a helpless smile, watched her go in, and then drove away.
After entering the door, Nao Nao was asking Xiuyun to take the painting.When Nao Nao saw Shen Meng, he immediately threw away the paintbrush, jumped into Shen Meng's arms, and was tired of her. Shen Meng kissed his face and asked him, "Nao Nao, are you good today?"
"En!" The little guy nodded and said again, "Father won't let me upset Auntie Xiuyun."
Speaking of Ji Liangchuan, Shen Meng didn't see him, and hurriedly asked Xiuyun, "He hasn't come home yet?"
Xiuyun nodded and said, "The young master called and said he would be back later."
Shen Meng nodded. It may be that the video conference was very urgent and lasted for a long time. Ji Yuankang's illness had gradually stabilized a few days ago, but he suddenly relapsed during the observation period in the hospital, and he is now receiving emergency treatment.Thinking of this, she sighed, dragged Nao Nao upstairs to play with him with building blocks for a while, and when she saw that he was sleepy, she gave him a bath and put him to sleep.
It was almost ten o'clock when the work was over, and Ji Liangchuan hadn't come back yet.She wanted to call him to ask about it, but she was afraid of disturbing him, so she went to the study to sort out the things he usually used, and then cleaned his office area.
After that, she sat there looking at her official documents and waited for a long time before she heard the door outside the house. She was shocked and immediately stood up and went out to meet him.I saw Ji Liangchuan entering the door in a hurry, with a tired face.Shen Meng walked over to take his briefcase. She wanted to explain Du Xiaohang's matter to him, but seeing that his expression was calm and obviously in a bad mood, she could only ask about the video conference first: "How is the situation?"
Ji Liangchuan frowned: "Several doctors over there are discussing, asking for my opinion, and saying that a heart transplant should be performed if necessary."
When Shen Meng heard this, she immediately froze: "Is it already this serious?"
Ji Liangchuan didn't say anything else, he just patted her on the shoulder lightly, changed his shoes and went into the living room.
"Did you eat?" she asked cautiously, following behind.
He walked straight into the bathroom and said, "I don't want to eat, I have no appetite, I'll take a shower first."
She leaned over and handed him the towel, and put the bathrobe in the changing basket by the door.Ji Liangchuan took off half of his clothes, suddenly raised his eyelids to look at her, and finally smiled slightly: "Why are you so obedient like a kitten today?"
Shen Meng bit her lower lip. She shouldn't have let him take care of her own trivial matters when his father was in critical condition. After hesitating for a while, she changed the subject and said, "Don't skip your meals. You have a bad stomach. Last time If you are hospitalized, if you make any trouble, I will really ignore you."
Ji Liangchuan took off half of his shirt, leaned over and pulled her into his arms while his chest was still wide open.Shen Meng could feel the heat from his warm chest, and immediately felt very at ease.He stroked her head, and spoke to her in the usual noisy tone: "Okay, okay, then help me get a bowl of noodles, I'll finish eating obediently, don't bother Xiuyun."
Shen Meng smiled sweetly in his arms: "Well, then you go wash, I'll cook the noodles."
Leaving her embrace, she felt empty in her heart. She held his hands and raised her head to look at him shyly: "Do you still have that today?"
Ji Liangchuan tapped her nose, and smiled lightly: "Let me go today, I'll make up for you another day, I'm a little tired."
She was a little disappointed, but nodded obediently.
Shen Meng made a bowl of tomato and egg noodles for Ji Liangchuan in the kitchen, fearing that he was not nutritious enough, so she put two more eggs in it.Ji Liangchuan has never been picky about food. Although he was born as the eldest son of the Ji family, he usually eats whatever is given to him.
After Ji Liangchuan took a shower, he went to the dining table to eat noodles while wiping his hair. Shen Meng sat opposite him and watched him eat without moving. He was a little embarrassed: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just like to see you." Shen Meng's eyes were intense.
He smiled and continued to eat.
After he finished eating, she hurriedly got up to wash the dishes, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.After she took a shower, she thought that Ji Liangchuan had already gone to bed, but after entering the bedroom, she found that he was still waiting for her.
Ji Liangchuan patted the quilt and said, "Come, come here."
She was taken aback, isn't she tired today, is this guy excited again?
Unexpectedly, as soon as she passed by, Ji Liangchuan pulled her over to flatten her feet, and quietly began to rub her twisted parts.She lowered her head, watching his white fingers move nimbly, and a deep warmth welled up in her heart.
After rubbing for a while, he raised his head and asked her, "How do you feel better than yesterday? Is it better?"
Shen Meng nodded: "With you as a masseuse master, how dare you not be good, you have to rub it for me tomorrow!"
Ji Liangchuan stretched out his big hand to pat her side face, and smiled dotingly: "Okay, my wife."
It could be seen that he was in a better mood, Shen Meng suddenly threw himself into his arms, and said coquettishly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you to see him with Nao Nao... I couldn't control my emotions for a while. mood."
Ji Liangchuan stroked her soft hair again and again, and suddenly sighed: "Last year, he came to see me once, but I didn't dare to tell you."
Shen Meng immediately opened her eyes wide, got up from his arms in disbelief, and asked him with her eyes.
Afraid that she might misunderstand, Ji Liangchuan quickly said, "He didn't let me tell you. He promised not to see you again, so he didn't want you to know that he still misses you. Actually, he didn't say anything, just asked about your recent situation. Then go away."
"Have you two made a move yet?" Shen Meng suddenly asked anxiously.
Ji Liangchuan pinched her nose helplessly: "Is your husband that kind of person? I'm a civilized person. I only talk about reason and don't do anything, okay? Besides, I don't need to do it myself when beating someone, I can find someone .”
Shen Meng knew that he was starting to be dishonest again, so she turned around and pinched his nose, and said angrily, "Okay, you, Ji Liangchuan, did you hide it deeply enough? Are there still many of my suitors in the past few years?" Was stopped by you?"
Unexpectedly, that person suddenly pursed his lips deeply, his expression was obviously hit by her!This old fox!
"If there are any troubles for you, please let me know at any time, and I can make them disappear from your sight within a day." Ji Liangchuan said with a smile on his face.
This made her back feel cold: "Are you going to be killed by others? Why are you so dark? Give me more sunshine and more positive energy. You still have a son to educate! Do you hear me!"
Ji Liangchuan raised his hands in surrender: "Impossible, I am a person of quality, I never fight, trust me."
Hehe, she believed it, maybe what he did to those suitors she never knew about, she didn't even bother to think about it.
While teasing me poorly, Ji Liangchuan's expression suddenly darkened, he held her hand, and his voice was calm: "That day, he came to the office to look for me, I thought I could restrain myself..."
Shen Meng immediately panicked: "You really got called, didn't you?!"
Ji Liangchuan immediately held her down: "No, we didn't do anything, I said that I thought I could let go of what he did to you and me, but seeing the affectionate look in his eyes when he asked you, to be honest, I I feel very scared, I am afraid that one day he will take advantage of your sympathy and snatch you away from me. Therefore, I am very shy about this person, so sometimes I need a long time to adjust about him My own emotions. Mengmeng, I hope you can understand me a little bit, I am not a saint, I also have a vulnerable side, fear of losing things, uncontrollable emotions and irrational thinking.”
He wants to save face and have strong self-esteem. Shen Meng understands it all too well. Now that he is so frank in telling her about his fragility and narrow-mindedness, she is really moved. She immediately squeezed his big hand and nodded: "I understand. After all, I have known him since we were so young. Although many things happened later, you said that it is really difficult for you to completely forget a person who grew up with you since childhood. I understand you, please You also understand me, let's run in slowly, anyway, we still have time, right?"
Ji Liangchuan looked at her pretty eyebrows and smiled softly: "Okay, we won't mention this matter, I have to inform you that I'm going to the office tomorrow to book the fastest ticket to the United States, is that okay?"
Her heart suddenly sank a little, and she was mentally prepared for him to leave, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.She didn't dare to show displeasure in front of him, and said simply: "Okay, don't you need me to accompany you this time?"
Ji Liangchuan shook his head: "Nao Nao is getting more and more sensible, he will feel uneasy if neither of them is by his side, and he will enter kindergarten this summer vacation, you should keep in touch with the teacher here."
Hearing this, Shen Meng couldn't hold her breath any longer, her eyes suddenly turned red: "How long are you going? It's only May now, and it's September when Nao Nao enters kindergarten. Don't tell me you'll be back before then?" Aren't you coming? Didn't you promise me to accompany me to Hongdou's wedding in August? Hongdou and Ye Nianjin are noisy godfathers and godmothers? Why don't you go? "
Shen Meng knew that these were secondary, the important thing was that she didn't want to be separated from him for so long.Ji Liangchuan occasionally went on business trips and often did not come back for two weeks, which was already hard for her to bear, not to mention it was several months this time.
Ji Liangchuan looked at her distressedly, and rubbed the corners of her eyes: "No, since I promised you to accompany you to Hongdou's wedding, I will definitely not break the promise. I just don't know the specific situation in the United States. It may take a long time to match the type, or you may find a matching heart, and you can come back immediately after the transplant operation, Mengmeng...he is my father."
Hearing this, she didn't dare to make trouble anymore, and nodded: "I understand."
After the two fell asleep, Shen Meng kept hugging him, smelling the fragrance of his body greedily, as if after this night, they would never see each other again.
A few days later, the divorce lawsuit between Jiang Yifei and Zhou Bingyan officially started. Shen Meng's foot injury was completely healed. She put on a professional female suit and brought the materials prepared in advance to enter the trial court together with Jiang Yifei.Zhou Bingyan, who was the defendant over there, was also sitting there in a black suit with a blank expression, and beside him was the defense lawyer Chi Cheng.
When Chi Cheng saw her, he smiled and nodded his head to express his politeness, and she also nodded. Then Chi Cheng looked away and chatted with Zhou Bingyan attentively and in a low voice, which seemed to be very professional.She felt admiration in her heart, Chi Cheng was so casual with her in private, but she didn't expect to be so rigorous and serious at work.
Not long after the trial started, the fight between the two sides became heated. Shen Meng fully integrated into Jiang Yifei's role to defend her, with articulate and sharp words: "Dear presiding judge, my client and the defendant Zhou Bingyan have been married for three years and five months. Later, I gave birth to my beloved daughter Ke Ke, but the defendant Zhou Bingyan, who is the biological father, did not come to the hospital to accompany my client, Ms. Jiang Yifei, to give birth on the day Ke Ke was born. Therefore, we have reason to believe that the defendant Zhou Bingyan, after the pregnancy test found out that my client was pregnant with a daughter, caused domestic cold violence against my client due to the old concept of patriarchal patriarchy.”
Chi Cheng on the opposite side was not to be outdone, and immediately captured the key points to fight back: "As the prosecutor's lawyer said, the so-called parental responsibilities should refer to a series of support and education that are beneficial to the healthy growth of children. This information was obtained by Jiang Yifei at the time. The information provided by the hospital where Ms. gave birth clearly shows a payment bill, and the bank card number paid has been verified to belong to my client, Zhou Bingyan. That is to say, my client has borne all the expenses of his wife and daughter financially. As for why my client was not present to accompany Ms. Jiang Yifei's delivery that day, it was because my client took over a huge project that day. We also have sufficient information to confirm the signing time and specific project content of the project, and as far as I know, Ms. Jiang Yifei, the prosecuting party, resigned from her job after getting married and became a full-time wife, so all sources of income depend on my client, and it is understandable that my client is too busy at work. I think theoretically It does not constitute domestic cold violence."
After Chi Cheng finished speaking, Shen Meng was taken aback. She didn't expect Chi Cheng's level to reach this level, and she was a little confused at the moment. The judge on the stage was waiting to hear her statement, so she sorted it out and continued. : "Presiding judge, this transcript is a testimony of my client and the nanny of the defendant Zhou Bingyan's family. Please listen to it."
The legal staff came to take away her small tape recorder and began to play it publicly. A voice sounded inside: "Mr. Zhou usually goes directly to the study to work after returning home, and doesn't talk to Ms. Jiang very much. Occasionally look at Ke Ke, and the rest During the rest of his life, he was locked in the study room by himself, and I brought him his meals in the study room, and he never came out to eat..."
After listening to this passage, Zhou Bingyan's complexion was a little bad, and he glanced at Shen Meng impatiently, obviously feeling that she was too involved in his family's affairs.
Shen Meng glanced at him, and continued with some sarcasm: "According to Ms. Jiang herself, since Ke Ke was born, the defendant, Mr. Zhou Bingyan, has almost never had sex with my client. This has constituted serious sexual violence..."
"Enough! Are you sick? This is our husband and wife's business, why are you investigating?" Zhou Bingyan was suddenly furious, and stood up to accuse her.
This incident obviously hit Zhou Bingyan in the ribs, the judge immediately asked Zhou Bingyan to be quiet, and Chi Cheng pulled Zhou Bingyan down and sat down again.
Shen Meng suddenly felt a little strange. It stands to reason that this kind of thing is a normal speech in court. A man like Zhou Bingyan who has his own company and deals with business, law, and social interaction every day should not lose his mind.Could it be that what made Zhou Bingyan angry was not because she investigated their privacy, but because of the matter in the boudoir between the two of them?
She thought about it for a long time and didn't think about it. After she calmed down, Chi Cheng said again: "Judge, I want to submit a few groups of photos, may I ask?"
Seeing the presiding judge nodding, he handed over the information to the legal staff.After some operations, those photos appeared on the screen directly in front of him.Shen Meng saw that Jiang Yifei's face turned pale as soon as he saw the first photo, and then turned his head to look at Zhou Bingyan.Zhou Bingyan was also staring at her at the moment, with determination and questioning in his eyes, the obvious dissatisfaction was about to be vented.
Those few photos were of Jiang Yifei and a young man talking and laughing face to face in a cafe. The man was no less than Zhou Bingyan in terms of appearance and temperament, and even made people have a good impression of him at first sight.Shen Meng was stunned suddenly. If Jiang Yifei cheated in marriage first and became the wrong party, then all her previous efforts would be in vain, and it is very likely that this lawsuit will definitely be lost.This Chi Cheng, I didn't expect that he was really capable.Thinking of this, she immediately raised an objection: "Presiding judge, from the photos, Ms. Jiang Yifei didn't know that someone was taking these photos, which means that these photos were all taken secretly. I suspect that the opposing defense lawyer's method of obtaining evidence was improper."
Chi Cheng immediately shot back: "Judge, these photos were not taken by me or someone else I instigated, but my client, Mr. Zhou Bingyan, who is my husband, because he cares too much for his wife, Ms. Jiang Yifei, so he hired a private detective to follow him. And asked the private detective to report the situation of Ms. Jiang Yifei at any time. As far as I know, before the relationship between Mr. Zhou and Ms. Jiang broke up, because the business of Mr. Zhou’s company has been very good, many competing companies were forced to Abandoned several lucrative projects, so Mr. Zhou once received threatening letters in his e-mail, such as 'withdraw your investment shares in such and such company immediately, or you will be rude to your family' , 'Give up the opportunity to bid with a certain company, or you will wait for the body to be collected', etc. This document is a printed version of the threatening letters that Mr. Zhou received, please refer to the presiding judge."
Shen Meng felt more and more overwhelmed, this time the opponent was really too strong, what he said was well-founded and well-founded, and there was also conclusive evidence.
After the presiding judge had read the materials, he signaled Chi Cheng to continue talking, and Chi Cheng continued, "So based on these evidences, I have reason to believe that my client secretly took photos of the prosecution party for the purpose of protection and love, which is not counted as a crime." It violates morality and ethics. I don’t think I need to explain what these photos can show.”
Jiang Yifei's face was pale, and she suddenly squeezed Shen Meng's hand.Shen Meng was taken aback for a moment, and immediately cheered up and looked at the proud Chi Cheng and said, "Then I would like to ask the other party's defense lawyer, if a man and a woman drinking in a cafe can be easily considered to have an improper relationship, then let's go forward What's the point of going to eat beef brisket noodles together for a few days? Could it be that the two of us are also in love?"
Chi Cheng was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Shen Meng to bring up the matter between the two of them as an argument.And Shen Meng also knew that it was impossible for this guy to insist that he was in a relationship with her in order to refute her.
Seeing that Chi Cheng was silent, the presiding judge asked Shen Meng again: "Does the prosecution have anything else to say?"
Shen Meng grasped that domestic cold violence is bound to win the battle, so she took out the materials she had prepared and presented them to the legal staff, saying: "On May [-] this year, Ke Ke, the daughter raised by my client and the defendant Mr. Zhou, once sent an High fever, very serious condition, Keke is only over one year old, the consequences of a child of this age having a fever are unimaginable, but my client couldn’t get through to the mobile phone of the defendant Mr. Zhou that day. I checked the telecommunications company, and Mr. Zhou’s mobile phone was at the same time. I received a business call, which ruled out the problem of mobile phone failure and mute in the meeting, but the defendant did not want to answer my client’s call at all. After that, my client made about five more phone calls, and the defendant, Mr. Zhou, did not answer all of them. Usually, it proves that it is a very urgent matter when one person desperately calls another person, not to mention that the caller is his wife, so I have reason to believe that the defendant, Mr. Zhou, deliberately neglected to answer the phone, which can prove that the defendant is Mentally cold violence was carried out on my client, and the information presented to the presiding judge was a copy of the call records of the telecommunications company."
Chi Cheng immediately responded: "I would like to ask the other party's defense lawyer, if there is a quarrel between the husband and wife, how can one party answer the other party's phone call if the fire is not put out. My client just thinks that the prosecution's desperate phone calls are just family matters, and the business is busy. He, as you said, because there is a business call coming, as a businessman, we can all understand the importance of a call, so I don't think this is domestic violence, I can only say that they are arguing, Mr. Zhou doesn't want to reconcile for the time being."
Shen Meng suddenly smiled confidently, and said, "Then, may I ask what Mr. Zhou was doing from 10:45 in the morning to 18:10 in the evening when Ke Ke was sent to Sanye Hospital? As I said just now, If a one-year-old child has a fever and causes a respiratory infection, the consequences will be unimaginable, but her father took such a long time to visit his daughter in the hospital. Isn’t this domestic cold violence?”
Chi Cheng immediately retorted: "Just now, the other party's defense lawyer also mentioned that Ms. Jiang's phone call to my client about her daughter's illness was not answered, which means that my client has never heard of the news, so how can I use this paragraph? Time to measure whether there is cold violence?"
Having said that, Shen Meng looked at Chi Cheng and suddenly smiled slightly.Chi Cheng immediately reacted, and his face was a little embarrassed.
"At that time, I personally called Mr. Chi and asked him to notify Mr. Zhou. I remember that time was around 11:15 am. Where is Mr. Zhou?" Shen Meng explained sharply.
It was Chi Cheng who notified Zhou Bingyan, and she asked Chi Cheng to go. Both of them remembered that time, not long after Ke Ke was sent to the hospital, around 11:15.In other words, Chi Cheng himself became a powerful witness against his client.
The entire courtroom suddenly became deathly silent, and Shen Meng caught Chi Cheng by surprise.If he was telling the truth, he had indeed notified Zhou Bingyan after putting down Shen Meng's phone, and told him to rush to the hospital quickly.But Zhou Bingyan didn't listen to him, and there was a problem, and Shen Meng took advantage of it.But even if he lied, Shen Meng definitely has no evidence. He can say that he forgot to notify Zhou Bingyan because of some delay, so that his lawsuit can still continue.
During these few minutes of silence, Shen Meng read a kind of pain in his eyes, which made people feel distressed, but this is her battlefield, and women's tenderness and sympathy cannot be allowed to flood here, Chi Cheng Now her opponent.
After a while, the presiding judge asked Chi Cheng: "Does the defendant's defense lawyer have anything else to say?"
Chi Cheng pursed his lips tightly, then took a deep breath and said, "No more, presiding judge."
Shen Meng froze for a moment.
In the first trial, she won.
After coming out of the trial court, Shen Meng felt that the tense force all over her body dissipated from her body in an instant, and she collapsed on the pillar on one side.Jiang Yifei, who came out after her, said to her: "Lawyer Shen has worked hard, your performance today is wonderful."
Shen Meng looked at Jiang Yifei very dissatisfied and said, "Didn't I tell you, you must tell me about any hidden dangers in your marriage, who is that man who drank coffee with you? Why didn't you tell me in advance? Did you know that lawyers are likely to be sentenced to lose on the spot in the face of unprepared testimony?"
Jiang Yifei shook her head immediately: "That is my personal nutritionist, and I have no improper relationship with him."
"Then you have to tell me, so that I can prepare a very innocent evidence between you, which caught me off guard just now." Shen Meng complained.
Jiang Yifei stammered and said again: "Because... because he once pursued me, but I refused. I have a family, so I can't agree to him. I was afraid that there would be trouble, so I didn't tell you..."
Shen Meng sighed, just as she was about to say something, she saw Zhou Bingyan and Chi Cheng coming out of it, and they immediately left the hall ahead of time.
After watching Jiang Yifei leave, Chi Cheng drove over and shook his hand at her.Seeing that he was in a good mood, she got into the car without making much effort. Chi Cheng saw that she looked a little tired, so he simply said, "Okay, let me take you to the tea room for a few cups of Tieguanyin, and look at your face."
Shen Meng glanced at him, her eyes full of admiration: "Chi Cheng, to be honest, among the opponents I have met in the past few years after graduation, you are considered the strongest, and also the most sensible and honest. I am very special now. I believe that Zhou Bingyan has never done you any favors, and it is impossible for you to accept it."
Chi Cheng started the car embarrassingly and replied: "Hey, I can't do such a thing as telling me to lie against my conscience to win a lawsuit, but you are really good and can speak well. When I was in S University, I I also heard some bad rumors about you, but I didn't take it seriously."
"That doesn't count? It's been so many years and I still remember it, and I even brought it up! You're deliberately complaining about me, aren't you?" Shen Meng pretended to be angry and said to him.
Chi Cheng smiled honestly, she looked carefully at his right cheek, and there was actually a shallow dimple.She witnessed Chi Cheng's character today, and she finally made up her mind about what she was considering.
Two people are sitting in the tea room, and the Guzheng music is playing in the room, which is very charming with the fragrance of tea here.The bronze tables and chairs and the antique murals made her feel that this corner was so peaceful that it was unreal.
While the two were drinking, they were discussing about the law firm that they had discussed before. Shen Meng said to him: "I agree with your idea, but it's okay, you give six and I give four."
Chi Cheng was immediately overjoyed: "Okay, these are not problems, the key is to have your own square inch of land. In the past few days, I will check the address, choose a few that are more suitable, and then apply for a business license, and then verify the capital. That's right. , do you have any money? I am going to choose the address in the city center, maybe the rent will be relatively more expensive, and the scale should not be too shabby, what do you think?"
Shen Meng nodded: "Tell me, roughly how much, I'll see if I have enough money."
Chi Cheng did the math: "Whatever it takes, it should be 100 million, then you will pay 40, and I will pay 60."
Shen Meng thought about it, she started the company because she didn't want to be a woman like Jiang Yifei who only spent her husband's money, and wanted to surprise Ji Liangchuan, so she wouldn't take a penny from Ji Liangchuan even if she was beaten to death.But she has only been in the law firm for a few years, and she is not considered a senior lawyer. In order to curry favor with her, she dismisses all the huge lawsuits that Mr. He usually brought her, and her usual savings are less than 40.If she asks her family for money, her parents will be terrified. Those who don't know will think that the two are going to divorce, so it's better not to alarm the family.
Shen Meng didn't want Chi Cheng to see that he had financial difficulties, so he simply said, "Okay, but I need some time, I can't give you such a large sum of money too quickly."
"Don't worry, I'll choose the address first." Chi Cheng said.
Shen Meng glanced at him suddenly, and asked curiously: "No, you graduated in the same class as me, and you are not considered a senior lawyer. Where did you get so much money?"
Chi Cheng suddenly sniffed proudly and said, "You don't know that when I was studying abroad, I worked part-time every day, slept four hours a day, and used the rest of the time to earn money and study. I even wrote several manuscripts about international Legal. It was praised by the school after it was published, and the school gave me a scholarship for it, and I kept it!"
She is simply a model and good student, she was moved by what she said, a top student is a top student...
In the past few days, she has been thinking about fund preparation, and Ji Liangchuan's itinerary to the United States has finally been booked, and she will fly to the United States early next month.After careful calculation, she actually didn't have a few days left, and felt a sense of loss in her heart unconsciously.
While worrying about where to get the 40 yuan, Hongdou immediately reminded her with a phone call!Red bean, red bean, you are too unlucky!Shen Meng was secretly happy.
"Hey, where are you? I made an appointment with the owner of the bridal shop to try on the wedding dress. Come and accompany me. That unlucky Ye Nianjin is accompanying a big client, so I don't have time right now." Hong Dou was obviously a little angry .
Originally, Shen Meng planned to accompany her to try on the wedding dress, but now he even happened to borrow money together!Thinking of this, she should get down and hang up the phone and run to the bridal shop she mentioned.
As soon as she opened the door and went in, she saw Hongdou looking at the wedding dress brochures with a face full of hopelessness. She looked up and saw her coming, and immediately waved her over: "Shen Meng, come and take a look! These wedding dresses are all the latest styles, I It’s all tricky! Help me!”
A married woman is the happiest, especially when choosing a wedding dress, she has a deep understanding.She remembered that when she was picking out her wedding dress, someone told her to choose two sets, but it didn't work out in the end!
Shen Meng sat next to her and accompanied her to look at the photos. These are all handmade wedding dresses inlaid with rhinestones directly from Europe. A set costs 10,000+, and some are even more expensive.This guy Hongdou has her rich fiancé and doesn't think about these things at all. He just cares about which suit is beautiful.
The two of them were chatting, when Hongdou's phone rang, Shen Meng was close enough to hear the call from Ye Nianjin.
"Girl, have you bought the book I asked you to buy for me?"
"What's more, I've been shopping in online bookstores all day today, but I can't find the book you mentioned? Are you sure it's called "Those Crises, These Business Opportunities"?"
Ye Nianjin was almost annoyed over there, and immediately said: "It's called "These Crisis, Those Business Opportunities"! How could you find it with all the wrong names! I've told you three times, why don't you remember it? Tell me secretly." Are you stupid after all?"
Seeing that Shen Meng was covering her mouth and laughing, Hongdou immediately yelled in embarrassment: "Go, go, how dare you dislike me, your fiancée is trying on wedding dresses here, and you actually went to meet some bad client, isn't she glamorous?" Female client?"
There was a slight smile on the other side: "Is he a 50-year-old man who picks his feet? I don't want to give up you because of him. I'm rushing to the bridal shop. You try first, and I'll be your adviser later."
When Hong Dou heard that her fiancé was coming soon, her expression couldn't hold back immediately, she smiled happily, and forgave Ye Nianjin's meeting with the big man without principle, and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you here, Drive carefully!"
Shen Meng was still smiling there, and suddenly realized, no, if Ye Nianjin came over, how could she tell Hongdou about borrowing money, so she immediately took the time to pull Hongdou to the corner resting area to talk to her blindly Chat: "Hongdou, have you recently opened your own small treasury to earn extra money?"
Hongdou hurriedly shook her head: "Don't talk about earning extra money! I spent a lot of money on online games recently, and my heart hurts to death!"
Shen Meng stared at her speechlessly: "How old are you still playing online games? I won't go around in circles with you, am I your best friend?"
Hongdou blinked and looked at her: "Why are you crazy? I don't want to play any kind of sisterhood scene with you!"
"Let me tell you directly, I want to borrow some money from you, do you have enough money?" Shen Meng said directly, not wanting to go around with her.
After being stunned for two seconds, Hongdou looked at her with wide eyes, and asked her back as if she didn't understand: "What did you just say?"
She frowned: "What are you doing? Don't tell me you don't want to!"
Hongdou immediately patted her hand hard: "Miss Shen, Mrs. Ji, are you kidding me? You are a daughter, you are a wealthy lady! You borrow money from a poor office worker like me, Are you humiliating me on purpose?"
Only then did Shen Meng realize that it was against common sense to think from Hongdou's point of view, and quickly explained to her: "No, the situation is like this, I don't want to work with Mr. He anymore, I always feel that I will do everything when I leave Ji Liangchuan As if I can’t do it, I want to go out and do it alone. You know my character, I don’t want to touch Ji Liangchuan’s money if it’s my own company, yesterday I calculated that my private money plus one yuan is only 30 yuan, and it’s still a hundred thousand yuan short Woolen cloth."
Only then did Hong Dou understand, she thought for a while: "So that's the case, have you discussed it with Prince Ji?"
"I want to give him a surprise! I'm going to get everything done, the company has been renovated, and then I'll take him there! He can't help but admire me!" As she spoke, Shen Meng raised her chin with a smug expression on her face .
"Hey, I'll show you when I go home. I should have tens of thousands in my hand. If I don't have enough money, don't let me ask Ye Nianjin to borrow it." Hong Dou said.
Shen Meng nodded: "I understand, you're not married yet, so it's easy to make his family resent you."
She curled her lips: "It's true of you, he gave birth to a son, and An Anxin can enjoy the glory and wealth at home. Your husband won't pick you."
"Don't mention it. I recently received a lawsuit. The woman became a full-time wife at home after she got married. Now her husband doesn't cherish her very much. I think there must be a reason for this." Shen Meng analyzed.
Hongdou nodded: "Okay, okay, I'll lend you all, and accompany me to continue choosing the wedding dress."
After accompanying Hongdou to choose a few sets with relatively new styles, Hongdou hurriedly carried these sets into the fitting room.When she was trying on the wedding dress, Ye Nianjin also arrived, and Shen Meng sat in the rest area and waved to the door.Ye Nianjin waved his hand to greet her, then came over and asked, "Where's the girl?"
"I'm trying clothes inside. Sit down, and I'll ask you something." Shen Meng suddenly said to Ye Nianjin mysteriously.
Ye Nianjin was puzzled, sat across from her, and leaned over: "What's wrong?"
"In case Hongdou married you and became a full-time wife at home, would you look down on her?" Shen Meng asked.
Ye Nianjin smiled, with a warm face: "Isn't it? My girl told you so?"
"No, I'm just curious, just ask."
"Of course not. I support whether she goes out to work or stays at home. The key depends on which way of life she likes." Ye Nianjin said.
Shen Meng thought for a while, she had never asked Ji Liangchuan this question, and instinctively felt that Ji Liangchuan's answer should be similar to Ye Nianjin's, but she just didn't like being seen as married into a wealthy family, so she stopped working hard on her own.Forget it, let's act according to our own will.
"What's the matter? Suddenly asking this?" He asked.
Shen Meng shook her head: "It's nothing, just ask casually. By the way, let me ask you another question. If Hongdou gave birth to a daughter, would you be a little disappointed and not so enthusiastic?"
Ye Nianjin was amused by these words: "Stop teasing me, I wish she would give me a daughter soon!"
Shen Meng blinked: "Don't Hongdou don't want to have a baby, and are you going to wait two years?"
At this time, Ye Nianjin shrugged embarrassingly, and suddenly leaned over and whispered in her ear: "She has never let me touch it, I'm about to get internal injuries, you are better with her, help me persuade her."
With a "puchi", Shen Meng couldn't help laughing out loud, and glared at him: "Why are you so useless, just put her on the bed, how dare she refuse!"
Ye Nianjin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Are you considered a girlfriend?"
Just as he was talking, Hongdou came out of the fitting room wearing a pure white long wedding dress that shone with silver light. The two people sitting in the rest area were refreshed, especially Ye Nianjin, who was stunned.
This is Shen Meng and Hongdou's favorite. It has a long European-style tube top, and there is a circular hollow pattern in the middle of the chest, which looks particularly elegant and beautiful.The skirt is also dotted with yarn-woven butterflies, making the overall look noble and glamorous.
Ye Nianjin smiled and walked over to hold her hand, Hongdou blushed, waiting for him to praise her beauty as a fairy, but the black-bellied ghost said: "So, a man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle! "
Hongdou put aside his hand and stared at him: "Ye Nianjin! If you are not angry for a day, I will be unwilling, right? At this time, I have to directly praise that I am a natural beauty, and I look good in anything I wear! Do you know how to chat? !"
Ye Nianjin patted her face, and coaxed: "Just kidding, you are the most beautiful. Really, this set is very beautiful, let's buy this set?"
Hongdou curled her lips, seeing his sincerity: "I'll try another style, and you can help the staff."
"Okay, let's go." Ye Nianjin pinched her cheek fondly and smiled.
After trying many times, they were not as amazing as the first set. The three of them agreed that the first try was the best. While Ye Nianjin was there to pay the deposit, Shen Meng secretly whispered to Hongdou's ear with a hidden smile: "Damn. You cried to me just now, you have already made an appointment with someone else, why don't you give them meat?"
Hongdou blushed, and elbowed her: "Oh, what are you asking for? Aren't they all our virgins? The old man's traditional concept can't be changed, so I insist on staying until the wedding night."
Shen Meng understood, sighed and said: "Your Holy Mother has heard about it a long time ago, and she is willing to bow down."
In the evening, Ye Nianjin took the two of them to eat outside.Shen Meng accompanied the two of them to eat while talking about preparing to raise money to start a company. Money was not mentioned at all, but Ye Nianjin suddenly said: "Call me if you need it. You want to open the company in the city center." , I guess it will cost a lot of money.”
As soon as the words came out, both Shen Meng and Hong Dou were a little moved, but they both made an agreement not to ask men for money, women should be self-improvement!
Then Shen Meng smiled and said, "Ye Nianjin, I'm just saying this to you. From now on, you will be my best friend, Shen Meng. Just give me a call if you need anything."
After finishing speaking, she proudly poured a glass of beer and toasted Ye Nianjin.Ye Nianjin smiled gently and clinked glasses with her: "Okay."
The three of them chatted very happily. If it wasn't for the phone call from Ji Liangchuan urging her to go home, she would have wished not to go back tonight, and chat until dawn.
She drove home, and while waiting for the light, a text message from Hongdou came over: Ye Nianjin, this damn ghost, would be so kind?I kind of doubt his sincerity.
Shen Meng couldn't help but lower her head and smile: You idiot, he told me on the surface, but he actually told you.Don't you know that a man who chases a woman has to get his best friend first?Are you very moved after listening to it, wishing to throw yourself into his arms?
Hongdou's text message came in seconds: Oh my God!So it is!Why does my IQ seem to be unable to keep up with your rhythm?
Shen Meng replied: Cute girl!
Hongdou sent an emoji: You two just dislike me every day!I want to break up with him!Be friends with you!
Shen Meng smiled softly.
(End of this chapter)
The next morning, Ji Liangchuan was in charge of waking up one big and one small, making a fuss and getting up a little angry, he half-opened his eyes and yelled at his father: "Dad hates..."
Ji Liangchuan's "wound" that hadn't healed last night opened again. He squeezed his little face helplessly and said, "Nao Nao, if you don't get up again, Mom will be angry."
Then the little guy immediately opened his eyes, opened his arms and asked Ji Liangchuan to hug him.Ji Liangchuan smiled and hugged him up from the cot, coaxing him to put on his clothes and shoes.
Shen Meng also finished packing before entering the master bedroom. Seeing that the father and son were almost packed, after a quick breakfast, they went straight to the childcare center in the city center.
Unexpectedly, the construction area of this childcare center is so large. At first, Shen Meng thought it was just a privately run small unit building. There are many famous cars parked in the parking lot in the front square. It seems that only people with status bring their children here. Train here.
Ten minutes before leaving class, Ji Liangchuan pulled Nao Nao to walk ahead, and Shen Meng followed closely behind.That little devil couldn't walk well, he insisted on jumping over, and several middle-aged women passing by couldn't help but look at him, and praised him again and again: "This kid is really good-looking, look at those big eyes, The one with a small high nose bridge is still so white."
"Yeah, mom and dad look good, no wonder."
Shen Meng smiled embarrassedly at those people, and hurried over to drag the little devil forward. According to his jumping method, he would have to be late in the past.
After arriving in the classroom, most of the parents and children have already arrived. They are the last couple, looking at them with unison eyes.Shen Meng was a little embarrassed, but who knew that little devil still felt very proud, and smiled happily under everyone's eyes, Shen Meng was a little speechless, and quickly hugged him to find a corner seat and pulled Ji Liangchuan to sit down.
A teacher on the stage was obviously a little dissatisfied with their family, and immediately said: "The parents and children should all be here, this child's affairs can't be pinched, and it's a bad thing for the child if he doesn't listen to a little bit." This is so irresponsible, I hope that everyone here can come to the classroom a little earlier in the future."
Seeing that everyone around them was looking at them, Shen Meng blushed a little at the moment. Looking at Ji Liangchuan and Ji Muchen, the two Ji Liangchuan and Ji Muchen, they were completely unaware and just whispering to themselves. Sometimes thick-skinned is also a kind of happiness .
The class is some very simple common sense of life, such as teaching the baby to wash his hands before meals every day, not to walk around while eating, and the time for the baby to watch cartoons for no more than four hours a day. What Ji Liangchuan taught his little devil was basically the same as usual, and Shen Meng felt that what Ji Liangchuan taught was more comprehensive than this teacher.Sometimes for the sake of educating Nao Nao, he can give many examples in an instant, with a childlike interest, so that Nao Nao can quickly integrate into his education, and the effect is needless to say.
Shen Meng was thinking about it, when suddenly a childish voice of dissatisfaction came from her ear, and suddenly, she was about to break out in a cold sweat!
"Teacher! These fathers have taught them! I don't want to listen to the noise!"
This little devil is going to piss her off!
The laughter of the parents suddenly came from the ears, the teacher on the stage was a little embarrassed, and after a blink of an eye, he calmed down and said: "My child, maybe the other children don't know?"
Ji Liangchuan held onto Nao Nao's shoulder dumbfounded and said in a low voice, "Nao Nao, it's very impolite to interrupt the teacher, be quiet and listen carefully."
Nao Nao bit his lip, nodded and stopped talking.At the critical moment, this little devil still listened to Ji Liangchuan very much.
After that, Nao Nao really didn't say a word, and listened carefully the whole time, which made Shen Meng very relieved.
Just 10 minutes after she calmed down, she saw a 30-year-old woman sitting next to Ji Liangchuan, who was gentle and virtuous, and had a relatively mature temperament. She had been whispering to Ji Liangchuan all the time, and Shen Meng immediately leaned over and stretched her ears to eavesdrop. .
"Your son is really a very smart type. He is only three years old. My son is four years old, and he still can't reach this level. At most, he can understand what adults say, and he can speak sentences quite neatly, but he is not as good as himself. The ability to think, let alone make your own judgments on external information." The woman said.
"Really? At the age of four, he should be able to interact with adults a lot and have the ability to think independently. Is your son quite introverted?" Ji Liangchuan asked patiently.
"Hey, it's all because my husband and I are usually too busy. When we get home, we just put him to sleep and rarely play with him. Maybe he feels too lonely." The woman said worriedly.
Seeing this, Shen Meng thought the two of them were just exchanging ideas about raising children, so they didn't think much about it.
After a while, there was a burst of low laughter from the side, and the woman laughed so hard that her face was still blushing.Shen Meng was stunned, and immediately pulled Ji Liangchuan's arm and looked at him with a smile, "Honey, I'm thirsty, can you buy me a bottle of orange juice and come back?"
Ji Liangchuan patted her head: "Okay."
Instead, he politely said to the woman next to him, "Excuse me, I'll go out for a while."
"Okay, you go." The woman replied very gently.
Seeing Ji Liangchuan leaving through the back door, Shen Meng immediately sat next to the woman.The woman was startled, and smiled politely, and she also smiled hypocritically, ignoring her.
After waiting for a while, Ji Liangchuan came back with a bottle of orange juice and a can of milk, only to find that his seat seemed to have been forcibly changed, and he glanced at the lady awkwardly, who also glanced at him, and said nothing What.He sat down and handed the milk to the little devil. The little devil listened quite seriously, and when he saw that his father bought him milk, he immediately "giggled" and said, "Thank you, dad!"
This guy, he kisses whoever feeds him, he can see it.
Then he handed the orange juice to Her Lady Queen, who looked a little unhappy beside her. Shen Meng glared at him, took the orange juice and drank it, ignoring him.
During the break, Ji Liangchuan made noise in the classroom, while Shen Meng went to the bathroom.As soon as I entered, I heard a woman's voice inside: "Simeng, are you hungry, let Dad take us to eat delicious food later, okay?"
The voice sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember where she heard it. However, when she turned around and saw the mother and daughter, she froze in place.The memory of more than two years ago suddenly drilled into her mind, those happy, happy, sad, resentful, all kinds of emotions flowed through her heart, these complex emotions almost overwhelmed her A heart that was already at peace.
The person opposite also noticed that there was a person standing there in a daze at the door, so she raised her head, and then she was also in a daze, and the two of them were speechless for a while.The baby in the woman's arms was looking at her, a stranger, with wide-eyed eyes. The facial features and eyes were so similar, so much like her father.
Shen Meng's heart suddenly felt like being bitten by a vicious snake, and it hurt like a needle prick.
Chen Yajie first broke the silence with a slight smile: "Sister Shen Meng, long time no see. In fact, I saw you in the classroom just now, but I didn't have a chance to say hello. How are you doing?"
Shen Meng knew that he must have seen her too. She and Ji Liangchuan were the last to arrive, so she didn't pay attention to who was sitting in the classroom at all, but those who arrived early must have seen her.For a moment, she felt a little flustered in her heart.
"I'm fine. My son is quite naughty. You... are my daughter. I remember Hong Dou telling me that she was my son?" Shen Meng also smiled.
Chen Yajie suddenly grinned: "Yes, Hongdou is the savior of me and Simeng. Last time I was kidnapped, Hongdou saved our mother and daughter. Later, she came to see me once after I was rescued, saying that I was carrying When she looked at me, she felt very heavy, she must be a big fat boy, you said her speech is unscientific, haha!"
Shen Meng also laughed, and then she couldn't laugh anymore. Looking at the little girl's cute face, she asked Chen Yajie in a low voice, "Her name is Du Simeng?"
What a sad name.
Chen Yajie looked down at the little man in her arms, but her expression was very gentle: "Well, he got up, he's a brain, it's not like you don't know."
Shen Meng suddenly felt very uncomfortable. She felt sorry for Chen Yajie, but she didn't know how to comfort her. She felt that if she said anything, it would be like hurting her.
Seeing her solemn expression, Chen Yajie smiled and said: "Sister Shen Meng, don't think too much, and don't feel guilty about me. I have never regretted choosing him. I really love him and know that he will be the best in my life. It is impossible to forget you. I respect that he keeps a part of his own small world in his heart. In fact, I have exchanged a lot of what I want. He is very good to me and Simeng now. I believe that although he has no love for me, he still loves me. There is already a strong family relationship, so don't blame yourself anymore, okay?"
She felt sore in her heart, and walked over to hold their mother and daughter together with her little Simeng. Chen Yajie knew that she was feeling uncomfortable, and patted her on the back: "It's okay, we are fine, you and Your lover and son will be fine too."
Shen Meng wet her eyes and nodded fiercely.
After she calmed down a bit, she asked Chen Yajie: "Where are others? Are they in the classroom?"
Chen Yajie shook her head: "No, when he saw you in the classroom just now, he went out through the back door and said he was waiting for us in the parking lot."
"Yajie, I want to meet him, I hope you don't mind." Shen Meng said suddenly.
Chen Yajie nodded: "It's okay, let's go, I will take Simeng to continue the class."
"Simeng, say goodbye to Auntie." Chen Yajie coaxed the little man in her arms.
The little girl said "goodbye, auntie" very well.
Shen Meng couldn't help touching her little face: "Goodbye, Si Meng."
With an uneasy heart, Shen Meng found the elevator and directly pressed the basement floor. Looking at the jumping numbers in the elevator, she felt that her heart was also jumping along with these numbers. Anxiety and panic were intertwined in her heart, making her steps tremble. Some confusion.
In the huge parking lot, she looked around and searched for the car that belonged to him in her memory.She remembered that during the period of their relationship, he used most of his savings to buy a high-end car in order to pick her up every day, just to be worthy of her and to make it convenient for her to come and go.Maybe because of the connection between the memories between them, even if he is richer now than in the past, he would not change the car, so she stubbornly searched for the shadow of that car.
After searching for a while, she really saw a shadow that looked like it.When I got closer, I found that the car, the license plate, and the aromatherapy in the car hadn't been changed. Sure enough, this person is really one-sided, and what he believes is a lifetime.
It's just that there was no one in the car, she looked around and saw smoke curling up behind a pillar, suddenly she held her breath, and her voice almost slid out from the deepest part of her throat: "Little belly, is it you?"
She obviously felt the sudden shock of the smoke, and the person behind the pillar threw the smoke on the ground and ran away.Seeing that familiar figure from behind, Shen Meng thought, chased after him and called him, "Little Belly!"
He was running so fast that Shen Meng couldn't catch up with his high heels, and sprained his ankle all of a sudden, she fell to the ground and let out a cry of surprise.The back suddenly froze, he hesitated, turned his face slightly, wanted to look but didn't dare to look, his voice was low and hoarse: "How are you?"
After so many years, he still cares about her so much.
Shen Meng's ankle was twisted badly. She tried to stand up, but her injured foot couldn't exert any strength. She could only look at Du Xiaohang who was opposite and said, "Don't run, I just want to see you, nothing else .”
Du Xiaohang turned his head away in pain, but he didn't dare to go any further. After a long silence, he said, "I promised you that I would never see you in this life... I have already hurt you, at least, I don't want to break my promise to you again." you."
In a word, it made her heartbroken.
"I'll call you for an ambulance." Du Xiaohang said as he took out his cell phone.
"No, I'm fine." Shen Meng stopped him, and asked again, "How have you been these few years?"
Du Xiaohang was silent, and it took a while to reply: "It's pretty good."
"Why do you have to be called Simeng? Why bother?" Shen Meng lowered her head and said in a deep voice.
There was silence.
I don't know when the sunny and cheerful boy will become the taciturn man who likes to smoke today, maybe it's all because of her.
"Is your ankle badly twisted? Do you really need to call an ambulance?" Du Xiaohang asked, still turning his back to her.
Looking at his tall but thin back, she shook her head, gritted her teeth, and wanted to stand up by herself. Just as she was about to shift her weight to the other foot, someone suddenly supported her arm to stand up, and another indifferent voice sounded: "Don't worry about it, I'll take her to the hospital."
Both of them were startled, it was Ji Liangchuan.She looked up at him, without any warmth in her eyes, staring straight at a figure in front of her, with a cool tone.
Du Xiaohang stopped talking and just stood there silently.
The Nao Nao next to him was already able to read words and expressions at such a young age, seeing that his parents' expressions were not very good and he dared not speak, he held Ji Liangchuan's other hand and stood there solemnly.
Ji Liangchuan helped Shen Meng up, walked all the way to his car, opened the door and helped her sit in.
The car started, and a harsh sound echoed in the empty parking lot.When the car passed by Du Xiaohang, Shen Meng looked out of the window and kept looking at him. With just a quick look, her heart was full of holes.
He was thinner, had a beard, and his hair was cut short, but he was not in good spirits.Why is there such an expression, as if he is also trapped in memories and cannot come out.
When they got to the hospital, Ji Liangchuan didn't say a word to her, and Nao Nao didn't even dare to speak.
After the hospital prescribed a lot of medicines for external application, Ji Liangchuan took them to dinner.At the dinner table, he has been taking good care of Shen Meng, serving her food, telling her not to eat anything carelessly, and taking the time to play around, but she still can't see the slightest warmth in his eyes, she knows he is angry , he was trying to regulate his emotions.
At night, after putting Nao Nao to sleep, Shen Meng went to the study to find Ji Liangchuan.He was typing on his laptop, looking very focused.She walked over and put the hot milk on his table and said, "Drink the milk, don't work too late, I'll go to bed first."
Ji Liangchuan didn't look at her, and responded lightly: "Okay."
Then, she walked back to the room, simply climbed into bed and fell asleep.
The next day, she was still walking with a limp, but she didn't want to delay Jiang Yifei's case any longer. This head injury was just right, and her foot was sprained again. She really should be careful recently.
Before leaving, Ji Liangchuan took her bag and said bluntly: "I'll see you off, your foot is injured, it's not safe to drive."
With a warm heart, Shen Meng nodded obediently.
Along the way, he didn't speak to her, and he sent her to Xiangri before leaving.She was also in a panic. It wasn't that she didn't want to explain to him, she hated the atmosphere between them.But what's the use of explaining, Du Xiaohang will always be the knot between the two of them, so let time fade it away.
A few days later, Jiang Yifei's case was settled in court, and Shen Meng limped to court with a foot injury.This was something she had never done before, and she inevitably felt a little out of control.But without further ado, she doesn't know the details of Chi Cheng, and it is very likely that he will be bought by Zhou Bingyan, who will turn right and wrong in court, and fabricate some empty evidence, so that she will be unable to argue at that time, which will make it easier for Zhou Bingyan.
After both sides sat down, Shen Meng saw that the judge's expression obviously didn't pay much attention to pre-court mediation, as if he had left the matter to Shen Meng and Chi Cheng.Zhou Bingyan over there had a serious face and a calm expression. He kept looking away and didn't want to take another look at Jiang Yifei.Looking at his indifferent eyes, Jiang Yifei opened her mouth with heartache: "Zhou Bingyan, let me ask you, do you dislike Coco? It's because you always wanted a son, that's why you left us mother and daughter in the cold, right?"
Chi Cheng immediately turned his gaze to Zhou Bingyan, reminding him to be cautious in his words and deeds.Zhou Bingyan had been trained by Chi Cheng before coming here, so she didn't dare to speak too casually, but explained in a calm tone: "No, I'm just busy with work."
"No matter how busy you are at work, you don't come home only two or three times a week, right? When you see Ke Ke, you don't play with her at all, and you don't answer me even more. Are you someone outside?"
As soon as the words came out, Zhou Bingyan frowned suddenly, and looked at her with wide eyes: "What did you say?"
Chi Cheng answered immediately: "Ms. Jiang, please don't make unsubstantiated guesses about my client, we can sue you for defamation."
Jiang Yifei was taken aback suddenly, pointed at Chi Cheng's nose and said, "I slander you? You're never married, and you're not a woman. How can you understand my uneasiness? Did you charge Zhou Bingyan a lot of money!"
Shen Meng immediately pulled Jiang Yifei's sleeve vigorously, and reminded her in a low voice: "Ms. Jiang, calm down, your attitude will easily cause the judge's dissatisfaction in court, and you can't say such words!"
Jiang Yifei wasn't such an unqualified shrew at first, she was confused by Zhou Bingyan's anger, so she forgot her sense of proportion for a while.She gradually calmed down: "Lawyer Shen, I don't accept the settlement, I must divorce this person."
In the end, the pre-trial mediation failed, and Jiang Yifei was determined to file a divorce lawsuit to let Zhou Bingyan leave the house.
In the end, there was another quarrel, and Shen Meng had no choice but to start preparing for the first trial.
After coming out of the court, Jiang Yifei was depressed and said a few words to her before leaving.Shen Meng was waiting for the car at the door, when Ji Liangchuan sent her a text message, the content was simple: wait for me to pick you up.
She was very touched in her heart. He was obviously angry, but he was still reluctant to let her go to and from get off work alone when her foot was injured.She pursed her lips, feeling the need to apologize to him, the most important thing for two people to be together is to communicate.
Just as he was thinking, a car next to him slowly pulled up, and a person poked his head out of it.Chi Cheng looked at her with a playful smile and said, "Hey! Shall I see you off?"
Shen Meng glared at him, subconsciously, she had already classified Chi Cheng as the No. [-] person like Zhou Bingyan, so her original sense of admiration for him was gone.She didn't even bother, and turned around to wait for her husband in another place.
Seeing her, Chi Cheng didn't seem very happy, so he immediately got out of the car and stood in front of her: "Hey, you can't treat me and Zhou Bingyan as the same kind of people. I'm just his lawyer, so of course I'm going to speak for him. Jiang Yifei If you can’t understand, I understand, and you, as a lawyer, can’t and don’t understand me either!”
Shen Meng looked at him coldly, and asked him with a cold snort: "Then let me ask you, is Zhou Bingyan having an affair?"
Chi Cheng firmly denied: "No."
"How do you know he's not there?" Shen Meng didn't bother to talk to him.
Seeing that he couldn't give a reason, when Shen Meng was confronting him, Ji Liangchuan called.When she picked it up, she seemed a little anxious: "Mengmeng, I have a temporary video call with an attending physician from the United States. I sent a driver to pick you up. Where are you now?"
When Shen Meng heard that it was a video call about Ji Yuankang's treatment over there, she immediately said to him: "No need, it happens that my friend is here, and he has a car to take me there."
Ji Liangchuan didn't push back any further: "Alright then, let me know when you get home."
Seeing that he was anxious, she didn't dare to delay him any longer, she hung up the phone after saying a few words in a hurry, turned her head and said to Chi Cheng, "Send me off."
Chi Cheng suddenly gave a "puchi" smile: "Why are you still acting like a young lady? Count me as unlucky, get in the car."
Shen Meng didn't know what was going on, but she couldn't be polite to Chi Cheng at all.It stands to reason that when they were in college, the two of them had different elective courses, and the general courses were all sitting on one side of the other, so they were not familiar with each other at all.But these few times she met him, she was always so rude to him without any hesitation, as if she had known him for a long time, maybe it was because of this person's natural feeling of being close to others.
Chi Cheng was driving the car over there, and suddenly said: "By the way, let's go have a meal together. There is a good beef brisket noodles nearby. Have you tried it?"
Shen Meng shook her head: "No, I happen to be hungry too, so treat me."
"Okay, okay, I really admire you."
After the two found the beef brisket noodles, they went in and ordered two bowls of the signature beef brisket noodles. Shen Meng just felt hungry, but she didn't have much appetite. Unexpectedly, the big bowl of beef brisket noodles came up, and the aroma made her have an appetite immediately. Not to mention picking up the chopsticks to eat, there is no image, and Chi Cheng on the opposite side is taken aback: "Are you so hungry?"
"It's so fragrant and delicious. I'll recommend some good restaurants in the future." Shen Meng didn't show politeness to him, and asked for another drink after a while.
Chi Cheng was not angry, but smiled instead: "It's really easy to feed, a bowl of noodles is so delicious."
Shen Meng raised his eyes and stared at him, he was startled suddenly, as if remembering something important, he handed her his mobile phone and said, "Hurry up and take a picture of me, make it look better, and eat later."
Shen Meng took over the phone in doubt and pointed it at him: "What are you doing? You are a big man and you still take pictures? Besides, you don't know how to take selfies?"
"Every time I take a selfie, I feel very unnatural. Why don't others take pictures of me, make me look handsome!" Chi Cheng said while posing.
Shen Meng asked him to take a few photos at several angles and then handed him the phone. Chi Cheng took it over and looked at it, and was quite satisfied and praised that she knew how to choose the angle, and the photos she took were much better than the ones she took herself.
"What are you going to do?"
"Log in to the dating website and use it! Otherwise, what else can you do?" Chi Cheng said frankly.
Shen Meng couldn't help squinting and smiling, with some sauce still on the corners of her mouth, she looked at him and said, "Don't just talk nonsense when you see a pretty girl? If you are cheated, you will embarrass our lawyer."
Chi Cheng looked a little embarrassed by her eyes, immediately turned his eyes away, and muttered in a low voice: "Rabbits don't eat grass by the side of the nest, rabbits don't eat grass by the side of the nest, rabbits don't eat grass by the side of the nest..."
Shen Meng looked at him puzzled: "What are you talking about? Eat quickly!"
Chi Cheng let out an "oh" and didn't say anything else, just staring at the powder.
It wasn't until Shen Meng was sent home that Chi Cheng said, "You limp, can you fight me in court?"
Shen Meng rolled his eyes at him: "We are fighting with words and not with feet, so let's stop here, I can go up by myself."
"Are you sure you don't need someone to help you?" Chi Cheng asked her.
She waved her hand, obviously thinking he was long-winded.
"Hey, by the way, you should think about that matter, but it really won't work, let's split it into four, you give four and I give six, how about it?" Chi Cheng asked her again.
She stood at the door and thought for a while: "I'll think about it again, go back and see you in court."
Look at what this sentence said, and immediately made him her enemy.He sat in the car with a helpless smile, watched her go in, and then drove away.
After entering the door, Nao Nao was asking Xiuyun to take the painting.When Nao Nao saw Shen Meng, he immediately threw away the paintbrush, jumped into Shen Meng's arms, and was tired of her. Shen Meng kissed his face and asked him, "Nao Nao, are you good today?"
"En!" The little guy nodded and said again, "Father won't let me upset Auntie Xiuyun."
Speaking of Ji Liangchuan, Shen Meng didn't see him, and hurriedly asked Xiuyun, "He hasn't come home yet?"
Xiuyun nodded and said, "The young master called and said he would be back later."
Shen Meng nodded. It may be that the video conference was very urgent and lasted for a long time. Ji Yuankang's illness had gradually stabilized a few days ago, but he suddenly relapsed during the observation period in the hospital, and he is now receiving emergency treatment.Thinking of this, she sighed, dragged Nao Nao upstairs to play with him with building blocks for a while, and when she saw that he was sleepy, she gave him a bath and put him to sleep.
It was almost ten o'clock when the work was over, and Ji Liangchuan hadn't come back yet.She wanted to call him to ask about it, but she was afraid of disturbing him, so she went to the study to sort out the things he usually used, and then cleaned his office area.
After that, she sat there looking at her official documents and waited for a long time before she heard the door outside the house. She was shocked and immediately stood up and went out to meet him.I saw Ji Liangchuan entering the door in a hurry, with a tired face.Shen Meng walked over to take his briefcase. She wanted to explain Du Xiaohang's matter to him, but seeing that his expression was calm and obviously in a bad mood, she could only ask about the video conference first: "How is the situation?"
Ji Liangchuan frowned: "Several doctors over there are discussing, asking for my opinion, and saying that a heart transplant should be performed if necessary."
When Shen Meng heard this, she immediately froze: "Is it already this serious?"
Ji Liangchuan didn't say anything else, he just patted her on the shoulder lightly, changed his shoes and went into the living room.
"Did you eat?" she asked cautiously, following behind.
He walked straight into the bathroom and said, "I don't want to eat, I have no appetite, I'll take a shower first."
She leaned over and handed him the towel, and put the bathrobe in the changing basket by the door.Ji Liangchuan took off half of his clothes, suddenly raised his eyelids to look at her, and finally smiled slightly: "Why are you so obedient like a kitten today?"
Shen Meng bit her lower lip. She shouldn't have let him take care of her own trivial matters when his father was in critical condition. After hesitating for a while, she changed the subject and said, "Don't skip your meals. You have a bad stomach. Last time If you are hospitalized, if you make any trouble, I will really ignore you."
Ji Liangchuan took off half of his shirt, leaned over and pulled her into his arms while his chest was still wide open.Shen Meng could feel the heat from his warm chest, and immediately felt very at ease.He stroked her head, and spoke to her in the usual noisy tone: "Okay, okay, then help me get a bowl of noodles, I'll finish eating obediently, don't bother Xiuyun."
Shen Meng smiled sweetly in his arms: "Well, then you go wash, I'll cook the noodles."
Leaving her embrace, she felt empty in her heart. She held his hands and raised her head to look at him shyly: "Do you still have that today?"
Ji Liangchuan tapped her nose, and smiled lightly: "Let me go today, I'll make up for you another day, I'm a little tired."
She was a little disappointed, but nodded obediently.
Shen Meng made a bowl of tomato and egg noodles for Ji Liangchuan in the kitchen, fearing that he was not nutritious enough, so she put two more eggs in it.Ji Liangchuan has never been picky about food. Although he was born as the eldest son of the Ji family, he usually eats whatever is given to him.
After Ji Liangchuan took a shower, he went to the dining table to eat noodles while wiping his hair. Shen Meng sat opposite him and watched him eat without moving. He was a little embarrassed: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just like to see you." Shen Meng's eyes were intense.
He smiled and continued to eat.
After he finished eating, she hurriedly got up to wash the dishes, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.After she took a shower, she thought that Ji Liangchuan had already gone to bed, but after entering the bedroom, she found that he was still waiting for her.
Ji Liangchuan patted the quilt and said, "Come, come here."
She was taken aback, isn't she tired today, is this guy excited again?
Unexpectedly, as soon as she passed by, Ji Liangchuan pulled her over to flatten her feet, and quietly began to rub her twisted parts.She lowered her head, watching his white fingers move nimbly, and a deep warmth welled up in her heart.
After rubbing for a while, he raised his head and asked her, "How do you feel better than yesterday? Is it better?"
Shen Meng nodded: "With you as a masseuse master, how dare you not be good, you have to rub it for me tomorrow!"
Ji Liangchuan stretched out his big hand to pat her side face, and smiled dotingly: "Okay, my wife."
It could be seen that he was in a better mood, Shen Meng suddenly threw himself into his arms, and said coquettishly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you to see him with Nao Nao... I couldn't control my emotions for a while. mood."
Ji Liangchuan stroked her soft hair again and again, and suddenly sighed: "Last year, he came to see me once, but I didn't dare to tell you."
Shen Meng immediately opened her eyes wide, got up from his arms in disbelief, and asked him with her eyes.
Afraid that she might misunderstand, Ji Liangchuan quickly said, "He didn't let me tell you. He promised not to see you again, so he didn't want you to know that he still misses you. Actually, he didn't say anything, just asked about your recent situation. Then go away."
"Have you two made a move yet?" Shen Meng suddenly asked anxiously.
Ji Liangchuan pinched her nose helplessly: "Is your husband that kind of person? I'm a civilized person. I only talk about reason and don't do anything, okay? Besides, I don't need to do it myself when beating someone, I can find someone .”
Shen Meng knew that he was starting to be dishonest again, so she turned around and pinched his nose, and said angrily, "Okay, you, Ji Liangchuan, did you hide it deeply enough? Are there still many of my suitors in the past few years?" Was stopped by you?"
Unexpectedly, that person suddenly pursed his lips deeply, his expression was obviously hit by her!This old fox!
"If there are any troubles for you, please let me know at any time, and I can make them disappear from your sight within a day." Ji Liangchuan said with a smile on his face.
This made her back feel cold: "Are you going to be killed by others? Why are you so dark? Give me more sunshine and more positive energy. You still have a son to educate! Do you hear me!"
Ji Liangchuan raised his hands in surrender: "Impossible, I am a person of quality, I never fight, trust me."
Hehe, she believed it, maybe what he did to those suitors she never knew about, she didn't even bother to think about it.
While teasing me poorly, Ji Liangchuan's expression suddenly darkened, he held her hand, and his voice was calm: "That day, he came to the office to look for me, I thought I could restrain myself..."
Shen Meng immediately panicked: "You really got called, didn't you?!"
Ji Liangchuan immediately held her down: "No, we didn't do anything, I said that I thought I could let go of what he did to you and me, but seeing the affectionate look in his eyes when he asked you, to be honest, I I feel very scared, I am afraid that one day he will take advantage of your sympathy and snatch you away from me. Therefore, I am very shy about this person, so sometimes I need a long time to adjust about him My own emotions. Mengmeng, I hope you can understand me a little bit, I am not a saint, I also have a vulnerable side, fear of losing things, uncontrollable emotions and irrational thinking.”
He wants to save face and have strong self-esteem. Shen Meng understands it all too well. Now that he is so frank in telling her about his fragility and narrow-mindedness, she is really moved. She immediately squeezed his big hand and nodded: "I understand. After all, I have known him since we were so young. Although many things happened later, you said that it is really difficult for you to completely forget a person who grew up with you since childhood. I understand you, please You also understand me, let's run in slowly, anyway, we still have time, right?"
Ji Liangchuan looked at her pretty eyebrows and smiled softly: "Okay, we won't mention this matter, I have to inform you that I'm going to the office tomorrow to book the fastest ticket to the United States, is that okay?"
Her heart suddenly sank a little, and she was mentally prepared for him to leave, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.She didn't dare to show displeasure in front of him, and said simply: "Okay, don't you need me to accompany you this time?"
Ji Liangchuan shook his head: "Nao Nao is getting more and more sensible, he will feel uneasy if neither of them is by his side, and he will enter kindergarten this summer vacation, you should keep in touch with the teacher here."
Hearing this, Shen Meng couldn't hold her breath any longer, her eyes suddenly turned red: "How long are you going? It's only May now, and it's September when Nao Nao enters kindergarten. Don't tell me you'll be back before then?" Aren't you coming? Didn't you promise me to accompany me to Hongdou's wedding in August? Hongdou and Ye Nianjin are noisy godfathers and godmothers? Why don't you go? "
Shen Meng knew that these were secondary, the important thing was that she didn't want to be separated from him for so long.Ji Liangchuan occasionally went on business trips and often did not come back for two weeks, which was already hard for her to bear, not to mention it was several months this time.
Ji Liangchuan looked at her distressedly, and rubbed the corners of her eyes: "No, since I promised you to accompany you to Hongdou's wedding, I will definitely not break the promise. I just don't know the specific situation in the United States. It may take a long time to match the type, or you may find a matching heart, and you can come back immediately after the transplant operation, Mengmeng...he is my father."
Hearing this, she didn't dare to make trouble anymore, and nodded: "I understand."
After the two fell asleep, Shen Meng kept hugging him, smelling the fragrance of his body greedily, as if after this night, they would never see each other again.
A few days later, the divorce lawsuit between Jiang Yifei and Zhou Bingyan officially started. Shen Meng's foot injury was completely healed. She put on a professional female suit and brought the materials prepared in advance to enter the trial court together with Jiang Yifei.Zhou Bingyan, who was the defendant over there, was also sitting there in a black suit with a blank expression, and beside him was the defense lawyer Chi Cheng.
When Chi Cheng saw her, he smiled and nodded his head to express his politeness, and she also nodded. Then Chi Cheng looked away and chatted with Zhou Bingyan attentively and in a low voice, which seemed to be very professional.She felt admiration in her heart, Chi Cheng was so casual with her in private, but she didn't expect to be so rigorous and serious at work.
Not long after the trial started, the fight between the two sides became heated. Shen Meng fully integrated into Jiang Yifei's role to defend her, with articulate and sharp words: "Dear presiding judge, my client and the defendant Zhou Bingyan have been married for three years and five months. Later, I gave birth to my beloved daughter Ke Ke, but the defendant Zhou Bingyan, who is the biological father, did not come to the hospital to accompany my client, Ms. Jiang Yifei, to give birth on the day Ke Ke was born. Therefore, we have reason to believe that the defendant Zhou Bingyan, after the pregnancy test found out that my client was pregnant with a daughter, caused domestic cold violence against my client due to the old concept of patriarchal patriarchy.”
Chi Cheng on the opposite side was not to be outdone, and immediately captured the key points to fight back: "As the prosecutor's lawyer said, the so-called parental responsibilities should refer to a series of support and education that are beneficial to the healthy growth of children. This information was obtained by Jiang Yifei at the time. The information provided by the hospital where Ms. gave birth clearly shows a payment bill, and the bank card number paid has been verified to belong to my client, Zhou Bingyan. That is to say, my client has borne all the expenses of his wife and daughter financially. As for why my client was not present to accompany Ms. Jiang Yifei's delivery that day, it was because my client took over a huge project that day. We also have sufficient information to confirm the signing time and specific project content of the project, and as far as I know, Ms. Jiang Yifei, the prosecuting party, resigned from her job after getting married and became a full-time wife, so all sources of income depend on my client, and it is understandable that my client is too busy at work. I think theoretically It does not constitute domestic cold violence."
After Chi Cheng finished speaking, Shen Meng was taken aback. She didn't expect Chi Cheng's level to reach this level, and she was a little confused at the moment. The judge on the stage was waiting to hear her statement, so she sorted it out and continued. : "Presiding judge, this transcript is a testimony of my client and the nanny of the defendant Zhou Bingyan's family. Please listen to it."
The legal staff came to take away her small tape recorder and began to play it publicly. A voice sounded inside: "Mr. Zhou usually goes directly to the study to work after returning home, and doesn't talk to Ms. Jiang very much. Occasionally look at Ke Ke, and the rest During the rest of his life, he was locked in the study room by himself, and I brought him his meals in the study room, and he never came out to eat..."
After listening to this passage, Zhou Bingyan's complexion was a little bad, and he glanced at Shen Meng impatiently, obviously feeling that she was too involved in his family's affairs.
Shen Meng glanced at him, and continued with some sarcasm: "According to Ms. Jiang herself, since Ke Ke was born, the defendant, Mr. Zhou Bingyan, has almost never had sex with my client. This has constituted serious sexual violence..."
"Enough! Are you sick? This is our husband and wife's business, why are you investigating?" Zhou Bingyan was suddenly furious, and stood up to accuse her.
This incident obviously hit Zhou Bingyan in the ribs, the judge immediately asked Zhou Bingyan to be quiet, and Chi Cheng pulled Zhou Bingyan down and sat down again.
Shen Meng suddenly felt a little strange. It stands to reason that this kind of thing is a normal speech in court. A man like Zhou Bingyan who has his own company and deals with business, law, and social interaction every day should not lose his mind.Could it be that what made Zhou Bingyan angry was not because she investigated their privacy, but because of the matter in the boudoir between the two of them?
She thought about it for a long time and didn't think about it. After she calmed down, Chi Cheng said again: "Judge, I want to submit a few groups of photos, may I ask?"
Seeing the presiding judge nodding, he handed over the information to the legal staff.After some operations, those photos appeared on the screen directly in front of him.Shen Meng saw that Jiang Yifei's face turned pale as soon as he saw the first photo, and then turned his head to look at Zhou Bingyan.Zhou Bingyan was also staring at her at the moment, with determination and questioning in his eyes, the obvious dissatisfaction was about to be vented.
Those few photos were of Jiang Yifei and a young man talking and laughing face to face in a cafe. The man was no less than Zhou Bingyan in terms of appearance and temperament, and even made people have a good impression of him at first sight.Shen Meng was stunned suddenly. If Jiang Yifei cheated in marriage first and became the wrong party, then all her previous efforts would be in vain, and it is very likely that this lawsuit will definitely be lost.This Chi Cheng, I didn't expect that he was really capable.Thinking of this, she immediately raised an objection: "Presiding judge, from the photos, Ms. Jiang Yifei didn't know that someone was taking these photos, which means that these photos were all taken secretly. I suspect that the opposing defense lawyer's method of obtaining evidence was improper."
Chi Cheng immediately shot back: "Judge, these photos were not taken by me or someone else I instigated, but my client, Mr. Zhou Bingyan, who is my husband, because he cares too much for his wife, Ms. Jiang Yifei, so he hired a private detective to follow him. And asked the private detective to report the situation of Ms. Jiang Yifei at any time. As far as I know, before the relationship between Mr. Zhou and Ms. Jiang broke up, because the business of Mr. Zhou’s company has been very good, many competing companies were forced to Abandoned several lucrative projects, so Mr. Zhou once received threatening letters in his e-mail, such as 'withdraw your investment shares in such and such company immediately, or you will be rude to your family' , 'Give up the opportunity to bid with a certain company, or you will wait for the body to be collected', etc. This document is a printed version of the threatening letters that Mr. Zhou received, please refer to the presiding judge."
Shen Meng felt more and more overwhelmed, this time the opponent was really too strong, what he said was well-founded and well-founded, and there was also conclusive evidence.
After the presiding judge had read the materials, he signaled Chi Cheng to continue talking, and Chi Cheng continued, "So based on these evidences, I have reason to believe that my client secretly took photos of the prosecution party for the purpose of protection and love, which is not counted as a crime." It violates morality and ethics. I don’t think I need to explain what these photos can show.”
Jiang Yifei's face was pale, and she suddenly squeezed Shen Meng's hand.Shen Meng was taken aback for a moment, and immediately cheered up and looked at the proud Chi Cheng and said, "Then I would like to ask the other party's defense lawyer, if a man and a woman drinking in a cafe can be easily considered to have an improper relationship, then let's go forward What's the point of going to eat beef brisket noodles together for a few days? Could it be that the two of us are also in love?"
Chi Cheng was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Shen Meng to bring up the matter between the two of them as an argument.And Shen Meng also knew that it was impossible for this guy to insist that he was in a relationship with her in order to refute her.
Seeing that Chi Cheng was silent, the presiding judge asked Shen Meng again: "Does the prosecution have anything else to say?"
Shen Meng grasped that domestic cold violence is bound to win the battle, so she took out the materials she had prepared and presented them to the legal staff, saying: "On May [-] this year, Ke Ke, the daughter raised by my client and the defendant Mr. Zhou, once sent an High fever, very serious condition, Keke is only over one year old, the consequences of a child of this age having a fever are unimaginable, but my client couldn’t get through to the mobile phone of the defendant Mr. Zhou that day. I checked the telecommunications company, and Mr. Zhou’s mobile phone was at the same time. I received a business call, which ruled out the problem of mobile phone failure and mute in the meeting, but the defendant did not want to answer my client’s call at all. After that, my client made about five more phone calls, and the defendant, Mr. Zhou, did not answer all of them. Usually, it proves that it is a very urgent matter when one person desperately calls another person, not to mention that the caller is his wife, so I have reason to believe that the defendant, Mr. Zhou, deliberately neglected to answer the phone, which can prove that the defendant is Mentally cold violence was carried out on my client, and the information presented to the presiding judge was a copy of the call records of the telecommunications company."
Chi Cheng immediately responded: "I would like to ask the other party's defense lawyer, if there is a quarrel between the husband and wife, how can one party answer the other party's phone call if the fire is not put out. My client just thinks that the prosecution's desperate phone calls are just family matters, and the business is busy. He, as you said, because there is a business call coming, as a businessman, we can all understand the importance of a call, so I don't think this is domestic violence, I can only say that they are arguing, Mr. Zhou doesn't want to reconcile for the time being."
Shen Meng suddenly smiled confidently, and said, "Then, may I ask what Mr. Zhou was doing from 10:45 in the morning to 18:10 in the evening when Ke Ke was sent to Sanye Hospital? As I said just now, If a one-year-old child has a fever and causes a respiratory infection, the consequences will be unimaginable, but her father took such a long time to visit his daughter in the hospital. Isn’t this domestic cold violence?”
Chi Cheng immediately retorted: "Just now, the other party's defense lawyer also mentioned that Ms. Jiang's phone call to my client about her daughter's illness was not answered, which means that my client has never heard of the news, so how can I use this paragraph? Time to measure whether there is cold violence?"
Having said that, Shen Meng looked at Chi Cheng and suddenly smiled slightly.Chi Cheng immediately reacted, and his face was a little embarrassed.
"At that time, I personally called Mr. Chi and asked him to notify Mr. Zhou. I remember that time was around 11:15 am. Where is Mr. Zhou?" Shen Meng explained sharply.
It was Chi Cheng who notified Zhou Bingyan, and she asked Chi Cheng to go. Both of them remembered that time, not long after Ke Ke was sent to the hospital, around 11:15.In other words, Chi Cheng himself became a powerful witness against his client.
The entire courtroom suddenly became deathly silent, and Shen Meng caught Chi Cheng by surprise.If he was telling the truth, he had indeed notified Zhou Bingyan after putting down Shen Meng's phone, and told him to rush to the hospital quickly.But Zhou Bingyan didn't listen to him, and there was a problem, and Shen Meng took advantage of it.But even if he lied, Shen Meng definitely has no evidence. He can say that he forgot to notify Zhou Bingyan because of some delay, so that his lawsuit can still continue.
During these few minutes of silence, Shen Meng read a kind of pain in his eyes, which made people feel distressed, but this is her battlefield, and women's tenderness and sympathy cannot be allowed to flood here, Chi Cheng Now her opponent.
After a while, the presiding judge asked Chi Cheng: "Does the defendant's defense lawyer have anything else to say?"
Chi Cheng pursed his lips tightly, then took a deep breath and said, "No more, presiding judge."
Shen Meng froze for a moment.
In the first trial, she won.
After coming out of the trial court, Shen Meng felt that the tense force all over her body dissipated from her body in an instant, and she collapsed on the pillar on one side.Jiang Yifei, who came out after her, said to her: "Lawyer Shen has worked hard, your performance today is wonderful."
Shen Meng looked at Jiang Yifei very dissatisfied and said, "Didn't I tell you, you must tell me about any hidden dangers in your marriage, who is that man who drank coffee with you? Why didn't you tell me in advance? Did you know that lawyers are likely to be sentenced to lose on the spot in the face of unprepared testimony?"
Jiang Yifei shook her head immediately: "That is my personal nutritionist, and I have no improper relationship with him."
"Then you have to tell me, so that I can prepare a very innocent evidence between you, which caught me off guard just now." Shen Meng complained.
Jiang Yifei stammered and said again: "Because... because he once pursued me, but I refused. I have a family, so I can't agree to him. I was afraid that there would be trouble, so I didn't tell you..."
Shen Meng sighed, just as she was about to say something, she saw Zhou Bingyan and Chi Cheng coming out of it, and they immediately left the hall ahead of time.
After watching Jiang Yifei leave, Chi Cheng drove over and shook his hand at her.Seeing that he was in a good mood, she got into the car without making much effort. Chi Cheng saw that she looked a little tired, so he simply said, "Okay, let me take you to the tea room for a few cups of Tieguanyin, and look at your face."
Shen Meng glanced at him, her eyes full of admiration: "Chi Cheng, to be honest, among the opponents I have met in the past few years after graduation, you are considered the strongest, and also the most sensible and honest. I am very special now. I believe that Zhou Bingyan has never done you any favors, and it is impossible for you to accept it."
Chi Cheng started the car embarrassingly and replied: "Hey, I can't do such a thing as telling me to lie against my conscience to win a lawsuit, but you are really good and can speak well. When I was in S University, I I also heard some bad rumors about you, but I didn't take it seriously."
"That doesn't count? It's been so many years and I still remember it, and I even brought it up! You're deliberately complaining about me, aren't you?" Shen Meng pretended to be angry and said to him.
Chi Cheng smiled honestly, she looked carefully at his right cheek, and there was actually a shallow dimple.She witnessed Chi Cheng's character today, and she finally made up her mind about what she was considering.
Two people are sitting in the tea room, and the Guzheng music is playing in the room, which is very charming with the fragrance of tea here.The bronze tables and chairs and the antique murals made her feel that this corner was so peaceful that it was unreal.
While the two were drinking, they were discussing about the law firm that they had discussed before. Shen Meng said to him: "I agree with your idea, but it's okay, you give six and I give four."
Chi Cheng was immediately overjoyed: "Okay, these are not problems, the key is to have your own square inch of land. In the past few days, I will check the address, choose a few that are more suitable, and then apply for a business license, and then verify the capital. That's right. , do you have any money? I am going to choose the address in the city center, maybe the rent will be relatively more expensive, and the scale should not be too shabby, what do you think?"
Shen Meng nodded: "Tell me, roughly how much, I'll see if I have enough money."
Chi Cheng did the math: "Whatever it takes, it should be 100 million, then you will pay 40, and I will pay 60."
Shen Meng thought about it, she started the company because she didn't want to be a woman like Jiang Yifei who only spent her husband's money, and wanted to surprise Ji Liangchuan, so she wouldn't take a penny from Ji Liangchuan even if she was beaten to death.But she has only been in the law firm for a few years, and she is not considered a senior lawyer. In order to curry favor with her, she dismisses all the huge lawsuits that Mr. He usually brought her, and her usual savings are less than 40.If she asks her family for money, her parents will be terrified. Those who don't know will think that the two are going to divorce, so it's better not to alarm the family.
Shen Meng didn't want Chi Cheng to see that he had financial difficulties, so he simply said, "Okay, but I need some time, I can't give you such a large sum of money too quickly."
"Don't worry, I'll choose the address first." Chi Cheng said.
Shen Meng glanced at him suddenly, and asked curiously: "No, you graduated in the same class as me, and you are not considered a senior lawyer. Where did you get so much money?"
Chi Cheng suddenly sniffed proudly and said, "You don't know that when I was studying abroad, I worked part-time every day, slept four hours a day, and used the rest of the time to earn money and study. I even wrote several manuscripts about international Legal. It was praised by the school after it was published, and the school gave me a scholarship for it, and I kept it!"
She is simply a model and good student, she was moved by what she said, a top student is a top student...
In the past few days, she has been thinking about fund preparation, and Ji Liangchuan's itinerary to the United States has finally been booked, and she will fly to the United States early next month.After careful calculation, she actually didn't have a few days left, and felt a sense of loss in her heart unconsciously.
While worrying about where to get the 40 yuan, Hongdou immediately reminded her with a phone call!Red bean, red bean, you are too unlucky!Shen Meng was secretly happy.
"Hey, where are you? I made an appointment with the owner of the bridal shop to try on the wedding dress. Come and accompany me. That unlucky Ye Nianjin is accompanying a big client, so I don't have time right now." Hong Dou was obviously a little angry .
Originally, Shen Meng planned to accompany her to try on the wedding dress, but now he even happened to borrow money together!Thinking of this, she should get down and hang up the phone and run to the bridal shop she mentioned.
As soon as she opened the door and went in, she saw Hongdou looking at the wedding dress brochures with a face full of hopelessness. She looked up and saw her coming, and immediately waved her over: "Shen Meng, come and take a look! These wedding dresses are all the latest styles, I It’s all tricky! Help me!”
A married woman is the happiest, especially when choosing a wedding dress, she has a deep understanding.She remembered that when she was picking out her wedding dress, someone told her to choose two sets, but it didn't work out in the end!
Shen Meng sat next to her and accompanied her to look at the photos. These are all handmade wedding dresses inlaid with rhinestones directly from Europe. A set costs 10,000+, and some are even more expensive.This guy Hongdou has her rich fiancé and doesn't think about these things at all. He just cares about which suit is beautiful.
The two of them were chatting, when Hongdou's phone rang, Shen Meng was close enough to hear the call from Ye Nianjin.
"Girl, have you bought the book I asked you to buy for me?"
"What's more, I've been shopping in online bookstores all day today, but I can't find the book you mentioned? Are you sure it's called "Those Crises, These Business Opportunities"?"
Ye Nianjin was almost annoyed over there, and immediately said: "It's called "These Crisis, Those Business Opportunities"! How could you find it with all the wrong names! I've told you three times, why don't you remember it? Tell me secretly." Are you stupid after all?"
Seeing that Shen Meng was covering her mouth and laughing, Hongdou immediately yelled in embarrassment: "Go, go, how dare you dislike me, your fiancée is trying on wedding dresses here, and you actually went to meet some bad client, isn't she glamorous?" Female client?"
There was a slight smile on the other side: "Is he a 50-year-old man who picks his feet? I don't want to give up you because of him. I'm rushing to the bridal shop. You try first, and I'll be your adviser later."
When Hong Dou heard that her fiancé was coming soon, her expression couldn't hold back immediately, she smiled happily, and forgave Ye Nianjin's meeting with the big man without principle, and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you here, Drive carefully!"
Shen Meng was still smiling there, and suddenly realized, no, if Ye Nianjin came over, how could she tell Hongdou about borrowing money, so she immediately took the time to pull Hongdou to the corner resting area to talk to her blindly Chat: "Hongdou, have you recently opened your own small treasury to earn extra money?"
Hongdou hurriedly shook her head: "Don't talk about earning extra money! I spent a lot of money on online games recently, and my heart hurts to death!"
Shen Meng stared at her speechlessly: "How old are you still playing online games? I won't go around in circles with you, am I your best friend?"
Hongdou blinked and looked at her: "Why are you crazy? I don't want to play any kind of sisterhood scene with you!"
"Let me tell you directly, I want to borrow some money from you, do you have enough money?" Shen Meng said directly, not wanting to go around with her.
After being stunned for two seconds, Hongdou looked at her with wide eyes, and asked her back as if she didn't understand: "What did you just say?"
She frowned: "What are you doing? Don't tell me you don't want to!"
Hongdou immediately patted her hand hard: "Miss Shen, Mrs. Ji, are you kidding me? You are a daughter, you are a wealthy lady! You borrow money from a poor office worker like me, Are you humiliating me on purpose?"
Only then did Shen Meng realize that it was against common sense to think from Hongdou's point of view, and quickly explained to her: "No, the situation is like this, I don't want to work with Mr. He anymore, I always feel that I will do everything when I leave Ji Liangchuan As if I can’t do it, I want to go out and do it alone. You know my character, I don’t want to touch Ji Liangchuan’s money if it’s my own company, yesterday I calculated that my private money plus one yuan is only 30 yuan, and it’s still a hundred thousand yuan short Woolen cloth."
Only then did Hong Dou understand, she thought for a while: "So that's the case, have you discussed it with Prince Ji?"
"I want to give him a surprise! I'm going to get everything done, the company has been renovated, and then I'll take him there! He can't help but admire me!" As she spoke, Shen Meng raised her chin with a smug expression on her face .
"Hey, I'll show you when I go home. I should have tens of thousands in my hand. If I don't have enough money, don't let me ask Ye Nianjin to borrow it." Hong Dou said.
Shen Meng nodded: "I understand, you're not married yet, so it's easy to make his family resent you."
She curled her lips: "It's true of you, he gave birth to a son, and An Anxin can enjoy the glory and wealth at home. Your husband won't pick you."
"Don't mention it. I recently received a lawsuit. The woman became a full-time wife at home after she got married. Now her husband doesn't cherish her very much. I think there must be a reason for this." Shen Meng analyzed.
Hongdou nodded: "Okay, okay, I'll lend you all, and accompany me to continue choosing the wedding dress."
After accompanying Hongdou to choose a few sets with relatively new styles, Hongdou hurriedly carried these sets into the fitting room.When she was trying on the wedding dress, Ye Nianjin also arrived, and Shen Meng sat in the rest area and waved to the door.Ye Nianjin waved his hand to greet her, then came over and asked, "Where's the girl?"
"I'm trying clothes inside. Sit down, and I'll ask you something." Shen Meng suddenly said to Ye Nianjin mysteriously.
Ye Nianjin was puzzled, sat across from her, and leaned over: "What's wrong?"
"In case Hongdou married you and became a full-time wife at home, would you look down on her?" Shen Meng asked.
Ye Nianjin smiled, with a warm face: "Isn't it? My girl told you so?"
"No, I'm just curious, just ask."
"Of course not. I support whether she goes out to work or stays at home. The key depends on which way of life she likes." Ye Nianjin said.
Shen Meng thought for a while, she had never asked Ji Liangchuan this question, and instinctively felt that Ji Liangchuan's answer should be similar to Ye Nianjin's, but she just didn't like being seen as married into a wealthy family, so she stopped working hard on her own.Forget it, let's act according to our own will.
"What's the matter? Suddenly asking this?" He asked.
Shen Meng shook her head: "It's nothing, just ask casually. By the way, let me ask you another question. If Hongdou gave birth to a daughter, would you be a little disappointed and not so enthusiastic?"
Ye Nianjin was amused by these words: "Stop teasing me, I wish she would give me a daughter soon!"
Shen Meng blinked: "Don't Hongdou don't want to have a baby, and are you going to wait two years?"
At this time, Ye Nianjin shrugged embarrassingly, and suddenly leaned over and whispered in her ear: "She has never let me touch it, I'm about to get internal injuries, you are better with her, help me persuade her."
With a "puchi", Shen Meng couldn't help laughing out loud, and glared at him: "Why are you so useless, just put her on the bed, how dare she refuse!"
Ye Nianjin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Are you considered a girlfriend?"
Just as he was talking, Hongdou came out of the fitting room wearing a pure white long wedding dress that shone with silver light. The two people sitting in the rest area were refreshed, especially Ye Nianjin, who was stunned.
This is Shen Meng and Hongdou's favorite. It has a long European-style tube top, and there is a circular hollow pattern in the middle of the chest, which looks particularly elegant and beautiful.The skirt is also dotted with yarn-woven butterflies, making the overall look noble and glamorous.
Ye Nianjin smiled and walked over to hold her hand, Hongdou blushed, waiting for him to praise her beauty as a fairy, but the black-bellied ghost said: "So, a man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle! "
Hongdou put aside his hand and stared at him: "Ye Nianjin! If you are not angry for a day, I will be unwilling, right? At this time, I have to directly praise that I am a natural beauty, and I look good in anything I wear! Do you know how to chat? !"
Ye Nianjin patted her face, and coaxed: "Just kidding, you are the most beautiful. Really, this set is very beautiful, let's buy this set?"
Hongdou curled her lips, seeing his sincerity: "I'll try another style, and you can help the staff."
"Okay, let's go." Ye Nianjin pinched her cheek fondly and smiled.
After trying many times, they were not as amazing as the first set. The three of them agreed that the first try was the best. While Ye Nianjin was there to pay the deposit, Shen Meng secretly whispered to Hongdou's ear with a hidden smile: "Damn. You cried to me just now, you have already made an appointment with someone else, why don't you give them meat?"
Hongdou blushed, and elbowed her: "Oh, what are you asking for? Aren't they all our virgins? The old man's traditional concept can't be changed, so I insist on staying until the wedding night."
Shen Meng understood, sighed and said: "Your Holy Mother has heard about it a long time ago, and she is willing to bow down."
In the evening, Ye Nianjin took the two of them to eat outside.Shen Meng accompanied the two of them to eat while talking about preparing to raise money to start a company. Money was not mentioned at all, but Ye Nianjin suddenly said: "Call me if you need it. You want to open the company in the city center." , I guess it will cost a lot of money.”
As soon as the words came out, both Shen Meng and Hong Dou were a little moved, but they both made an agreement not to ask men for money, women should be self-improvement!
Then Shen Meng smiled and said, "Ye Nianjin, I'm just saying this to you. From now on, you will be my best friend, Shen Meng. Just give me a call if you need anything."
After finishing speaking, she proudly poured a glass of beer and toasted Ye Nianjin.Ye Nianjin smiled gently and clinked glasses with her: "Okay."
The three of them chatted very happily. If it wasn't for the phone call from Ji Liangchuan urging her to go home, she would have wished not to go back tonight, and chat until dawn.
She drove home, and while waiting for the light, a text message from Hongdou came over: Ye Nianjin, this damn ghost, would be so kind?I kind of doubt his sincerity.
Shen Meng couldn't help but lower her head and smile: You idiot, he told me on the surface, but he actually told you.Don't you know that a man who chases a woman has to get his best friend first?Are you very moved after listening to it, wishing to throw yourself into his arms?
Hongdou's text message came in seconds: Oh my God!So it is!Why does my IQ seem to be unable to keep up with your rhythm?
Shen Meng replied: Cute girl!
Hongdou sent an emoji: You two just dislike me every day!I want to break up with him!Be friends with you!
Shen Meng smiled softly.
