Shanghai Embroidery Lady

Chapter 117 The Mysterious Visitor
Ye Zijin froze for a moment when he heard the word Zizheng, only to hear Wang Xinyu gushing again: "It's true, I saw him sitting in a car, I wanted to go up to check, but the car drove away again .”

"Did you see it clearly?" Ye Zijin was still dubious. In the past three years, Zizheng has occasionally sent her a letter through Lu Bo, but the latest letter did not mention returning to Shanghai. Ye Zijin originally thought about it. It has been three years and Zizheng can go home, but she has been unable to contact Zizheng for a long time.

Wang Xinyu couldn't help holding Ye Zijin's hand, and said restrainedly, "I can't be mistaken, Zizheng is already in Shanghai, maybe he will go home soon!"

Ye Zijin's expression was a little dazed, she couldn't believe it was true, she had been separated from her brother for more than three years, and now that she said that she would meet again, she felt mixed feelings.

"Since it's all right, why didn't he tell us in advance?" Ye Zijin forced herself to calm down. The current political situation is turbulent, and the anti-communist storm in Shanghai is still spreading. She suddenly worried that Zizheng would encounter any danger when he returned to Shanghai.

Wang Xinyu lowered his voice and said: "Zizheng has a special identity, and he must have come to Shanghai secretly this time. He didn't tell us because he was afraid of implicating us."

Ye Zijin thought about it, and felt that it fit Zizheng's style of doing things, so he said to Xinyu: "If he comes back, I will tell you in time, go back and rest first, the work of the newspaper office is so tiring."

Wang Xinyu smiled sweetly, and told Ye Zijin not to go home.

Ye Zijin slept very restlessly that night, and had a dream in a daze. In the dream, Zizheng was arrested and locked in a dark, dark room with scars all over his body. He reached out to her for help.Ye Zijin was about to shout out, but was knocked out with a stick by the person behind her...

When she woke up, she felt dizzy and groggy as if she had slept for a long time, and the sap in her dream seemed to hit her on the back of the head really.Ye Zijin turned on the light and saw that everything around her was as usual, and the window was already slightly bright. She breathed a long sigh of relief, and suddenly hoped that the person Wang Xinyu saw was Zizheng.If Zizheng really returns to Shanghai, she will do her best to protect her younger brother.

In the morning, Ye Zijin called Xiaoyue to ask her to go to Heniantang to buy some medicinal materials for postpartum nourishment and send them to Wenying's house.

Xiaoyue was a little puzzled, and asked: "Miss Wen doesn't like you like that, why are you still being so nice to her?"

Ye Zijin kept looking at the documents sent without raising her head, "She is a poor woman, if she hadn't really fallen to a certain level, how could she go out to buy abortion pills by herself at the risk of being intercepted by tabloid reporters, even There is no servant, it seems that Paramount doesn't want to care about her."

Xiaoyue sighed and said, "That's right, it's a pity for the child in her belly."

Soon after Xiaoyue left, Xiaowu came to inform that there was a gentleman surnamed Huang waiting in the living room.

Mr. Huang?Ye Zijin thought for a moment, and the only person with the surname Huang she knew was Huang Jiajun. However, she had only met one of the four young masters of Shanghai Bund a few times, so she was not familiar with him. She has heard a lot.

Huang Jiajun can be said to be proud of his spring breeze now. He has just been promoted to the post of Secretary of the Executive Yuan of the National Government, and his official career is promising.When he saw Ye Zijin, he started to exchange pleasantries, talking about his friendship with Meng Haoxiang for many years.

Because of Wenying's matter, Ye Zijin already knew a thing or two about Huang Jiajun's true face. At this moment, facing this polite and personable hypocrite, Ye Zijin just smiled faintly, waiting patiently for him to explain the purpose of coming this time, thinking about the end Pour cold water mercilessly.

Seeing that Ye Zijin was very polite and thoughtful, Huang Jiajun heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the thorny problem in front of him would be solved soon.

"Miss Ye, I came to you this time to ask you to do me a favor." Huang Jiajun sat on the sofa in a suit and leather shoes, leaning forward slightly, looking very sincere.

Ye Zijin said: "Mr. Huang, please tell me."

Huang Jiajun smiled and said: "Actually, it's not a difficult task for Ms. Ye. I was ordered to purchase [-] sets of woolen military uniforms this time. Time is running out. I would like to invite you to remember to hurry up. As long as you can make it within half an hour It will be completed within a month, and the price is easy to negotiate."

Ye Zijin pretended to be surprised and said: "It's such an unfortunate coincidence. Shen Ji has just received a few big orders, and even signed the contract. The French consulate is also urging this batch of silk shirts. This matter, Secretary-General Zhu I also know it. I’m really sorry, Shen Ji’s scale is small and the progress is slow, and without that diamond, I really can’t handle this porcelain work.”

In fact, Ye Zijin also knows that Huang Jiajun is the biggest beneficiary of this deal. On the surface, he said that the price is easy to negotiate, but once he really talks about the price, Shen Ji will definitely be pressured again and again, otherwise it will not be enough for them to steal it. appetite.Ordinary merchants dare to offend the government when they do business with the government. It's not that they say that one is one.

Seeing that Ye Zijin moved out of the French consulate as an excuse, Huang Jiajun smiled and said: "Miss Ye is a smart person, she must be able to tell which is more important. I came to ask Shen Ji for help because of Boss Meng's face. You are not only a If you don't give me Huang some face, will Boss Meng feel embarrassed?"

Ye Zijin heard that there was some aggressive posture in his words, as if he was a person who turned his face when he saw a good word. "Mr. Huang is too much. I have always been trustworthy in business. Since I have an appointment with the French consulate, I have to feel sorry for Mr. Huang. I know you are also kind, but the time limit of half a month is too tight. , I am really powerless."

Huang Jiajun's face instantly turned cold when he saw that Ye Zijin didn't get in the oil and salt.He originally wanted to take advantage of this to curry favor with Secretary-General Zhu, because Secretary-General Zhu is on good terms with Meng Haoxiang and Ye Zijin, and Meng Haoxiang is Ye Zijin's fiancé. If he takes care of Ye Zijin's business, then he will ask Ye Zijin to help them If you speak more good things in front of you, you can win over Meng Haoxiang, a powerful ally in the future, and you will be valued more in the Executive Yuan.But Ye Zijin didn't help.

"Since Ms. Ye insists, then I won't be able to force others to make things difficult for me. I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." Huang Jiajun raised his chin haughtily, glanced at Ye Zijin, and said with a smile, "Boss Meng, please be sure to give it to me on the day of my marriage." A wedding invitation, Boss Meng and I have been good friends for many years, I will definitely attend his wedding."

Ye Zijin nodded and thanked, and also heard the sarcasm in his words, and smiled calmly, "When Mr. Huang is happy to have a son, I will come to congratulate him personally. Oh, I made a mistake, it should be Mr. Huang .”

Huang Jiajun's face froze, and he hurried downstairs without saying goodbye.The reason why Huang Jiajun is so angry is because of the news that has been making a fuss some time ago. Huang Jiajun's father was once a powerful military governor. Mr. Huang is going to marry a woman who is almost the same age as his son as his wife. I heard that The woman is already pregnant with Mr. Huang's flesh and blood.Huang Jiajun has always regarded this matter as a family scandal, and Ye Zijin's mention of it undoubtedly angered him.

"It's rare for you to leave guests in such a rage, how did that man offend you?" Xiao Wu joked looking at Huang Jiajun's back.

"He didn't offend me, it's just that I hate seeing him." Ye Zijin replied.

Xiao Wu smiled and said, "It seems that I'm not that annoying, that's why I can hang around in front of you all day."

Ye Zijin said unhappily, "That's because it's too annoying to watch, and I've already treated you as non-existent."

Xiao Wu: "..."

After Xiaoyue came back from delivering the things, she found Ye Zijin, felt a little bit sorry for Ye Zijin, and said: "Miss Wen didn't want to open the door, so I had to leave the things at the door and leave. It's really a dog who bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know a good heart."

Ye Zijin had already expected that Wenying would not see Xiaoyue, and she must still be resentful of He Manling, so she said to Xiaoyue, "Forget it, let her go, it's hard work on you."

Xiaoyue looked puzzled, and said: "But shortly after I left, I saw another person go in."

"Who is that person?" Ye Zijin asked.

"It's Ms. Feng on the big stage. I also find it strange. Didn't the newspaper say that Ms. Feng robbed Ms. Wen of her sweetheart? Then why would Ms. Wen still want to see Ms. Feng? It should be the enemy." Xiao Yuebai Can't figure it out.

Based on the understanding of Feng Qixia, she and Wenying are not the same people. Although Wenying has a tricky personality and speaks harshly, she is not serious and is very loyal to her friends;Feng Qixia went to see Wenying?The reason for this is really unpredictable for her.

In the evening, Ye Zijin went to Xinghui Cinema to watch a movie with Meng Haoxiang as scheduled. Today, a Hollywood movie called "Mata Hari" was released. Nowadays, it is popular to watch trendy foreign movies with lovers.

Ye Zijin kept staring at the jumping images on the black and white curtain, and didn't notice Meng Haoxiang's tight jaw and ice-cold face at all.The film tells the story of a German female spy. It was the first time she watched such a film, and she realized that the work of a spy is so cautious and dangerous.

After the movie ended, Meng Haoxiang finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Did you ask Xiaoyue to get medicine today? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ye Zijin was taken aback for a moment, she clearly asked Xiaoyue to deliver some postpartum nourishing herbs to Wenying today, but Meng Haoxiang misunderstood her as being unwell.

Before Ye Zijin could answer, Meng Haoxiang had already firmly held her shoulders, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and said in a deep voice, "How long are you going to hide from me? Have you already... aborted the child on your own initiative! Are you punishing me?"

Ye Zijin had never seen him so angry before, there was an uncontrollable grief in his eyes, as if he was going to crush her in the next moment.

"What are you talking about?" Ye Zijin felt amused and moved.

Meng Haoxiang let her go and said tremblingly, "Why did you do this? Why didn't you tell me?"

Ye Zijin smiled helplessly and said, "Of course I don't need to tell you, because I'm not pregnant."

Meng Haoxiang was skeptical, "Today my subordinates saw Xiaoyue going to Heniantang. Could it be that the medicine was given to someone else?"

After Ye Zijin told Meng Haoxiang what happened, Meng Haoxiang coughed twice, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You were so angry just now, you didn't even listen to my explanation." Ye Zijin complained.

It was only then that Meng Haoxiang realized that his reaction just now was a bit extreme. The reason why he couldn't give her a title for so long was because of other difficulties.

"Didn't you realize that I've been very unhappy tonight?" Meng Haoxiang questioned.

Ye Zijin smiled slightly, "I really didn't notice this, the movie theater is so dark, and you have a dark face, how can I see clearly."

Meng Haoxiang suddenly pulled her into his arms, grabbed her hand and put it in his palm, said: "I'm getting more and more sophistry, as punishment, you have to make it up to me tonight."

Ye Zijin pushed his hand away, looked into his deep eyes, "Boss Meng is playing a rascal again."

Meng Haoxiang sent Ye Zijin to the door of his house. Ye Zijin was about to speak to tell Meng Haoxiang to go back to his own villa, but Meng Haoxiang covered his mouth.There was a light callus on his hand, which looked very rough when pressed against her lips.Seeing his cautious and serious face, Ye Zijin unconsciously obediently obeyed his arrangements.

"Keep quiet, someone else should have entered your house." Meng Haoxiang whispered in her ear.

Ye Zijin's heart tightened, someone else came?Could it be a thief?Following Meng Haoxiang's gaze to the ground, Ye Zijin also found the man's shoe prints.

Meng Haoxiang took out the key in her handbag and gently opened the door, and took out the pistol in her pocket with one hand.

Ye Zijin's heart even rose to her throat. Fortunately, Meng Haoxiang accompanied her back. If she came back alone and met someone bad, she didn't know what to do.She always thought that Meng Haoxiang just wanted her to live with him in urging her to move, but she didn't expect that this kind of alley full of fish and dragons was really not safe.

The door made a slight sound, Ye Zijin hid behind Meng Haoxiang, the room was pitch black, and the atmosphere was suffocatingly tense.

Meng Haoxiang suddenly reached out his hand and turned on the light, and was about to pull the trigger with a click in his hand.

Only a familiar voice came, "Brother-in-law, sister..."

Ye Zijin saw a person standing in front of the table, also holding a gun in his hand, that person was actually Zizheng!
