Shanghai Embroidery Lady

Chapter 98
In the Millennium Pavilion, Ye Zijin poured wine for Qiao Zhiqing. Qiao Zhiqing drank it all in one gulp, and said with a smile to everyone at the table, "This is my distant niece Ye Zijin, the owner of Shen Ji Huafu Store, oh, no, in a few days it will be time." It's called Shen Ji Hua Clothing Factory, please take care of my niece in business."

Everyone repeatedly claimed that Ye Zijin invited Qiao Zhiqing to dinner this time mainly because the bank and Zhao's factory had already settled, and she made a special trip to thank Qiao Zhiqing.Unexpectedly, Qiao Zhiqing was very considerate for her, and suggested that she call some more people.With Qiao Zhiqing's face, Ye Zijin was able to invite these big textile tycoons and department store bosses.

Boss Ma of Xianshi Department Store toasted Ye Zijin with a glass of wine, and said cheerfully: "Since she is Mr. Qiao's niece, how can we elders not take care of it? From now on, the goods from Shenji Huafu Factory can be directly sent to Xianshi Department Store The company sells."

"Thank you, Boss Ma." Ye Zijin also drank a cup and toasted in return. Most of what she said was polite. Even though she was not familiar with these bosses, she had heard of some fame anyway, and it was always useless to praise the good places. That's right, the atmosphere at the table was harmonious for a while, and everyone chatted happily.

But Ye Zijin was too strong to drink, and after toasting one by one, she felt a little dizzy.Holding on to her smile, she found a reason to leave the private room. As soon as she reached the door, she suddenly felt her stomach churn, and she hurriedly ran all the way to the bathroom.

After a burst of gut-wrenching vomiting, Ye Zijin's complexion was as pale as paper, and his hands and feet were cold.She leaned on the wall and came out slowly. When she passed a mirror, she accidentally glanced at herself in the glasses. She found that her hair was a little messy, and her face looked like she was just recovering from a serious illness. She quickly took out a Western lipstick from her small handbag and prepared to touch up her makeup.I just slipped my finger accidentally, and the lipstick fell to the ground and rolled out.

Ye Zijin hurried over to pick it up, suddenly a pair of spotless black leather shoes came into view, and saw a hand with strong knuckles picked up the lipstick on the ground one step ahead of her.

"So it's you, Miss Ye." The man handed the lipstick to Ye Zijin and smiled faintly.

Ye Zijin subconsciously brushed her messy hair to her ears, tried her best to calm down, and said politely, "Long time no see, Boss Meng."

Meng Haoxiang smelled alcohol on her body, and knew that she had drunk a lot. He didn't like women drinking too much, let alone his beloved woman, and immediately felt displeased: "It's been a long time, Miss Ye. It's really impressive, even Boss Qiao and Boss Ma can be invited to dinner by you, I have to admit that you are quite capable."

Ye Zijin could hear the irony in Meng Haoxiang's words, and he didn't want to argue with him at the moment, so he just said with a normal expression: "Boss Meng is not proud of his spring breeze, I heard that you are going to marry your beautiful wife Ruhua soon, I am here to predict I wish Boss Meng and Ms. He a happy marriage for a hundred years. I am sorry that I still have distinguished guests, so it is not convenient to chat with Boss Meng." After speaking, he took the lipstick and walked past Meng Haoxiang.

Meng Haoxiang was secretly angry at her still indifferent attitude, he took Ye Zijin's hand and pushed her against the wall.Ye Zijin's wrist was painfully held by Meng Haoxiang, and after such a push, his mind became even more dizzy.

"You really don't care if I marry her?" Meng Haoxiang asked unwillingly.

Ye Zijin raised her face, stared fixedly at Meng Haoxiang's dark eyes like jade, and said coldly: "This is a matter between you and Miss He, and has nothing to do with me."

It has nothing to do with me, Meng Haoxiang was secretly annoyed, he said this to her back then, but now she returned it intact.But he still held Ye Zijin's hand tightly, his eyes were full of disappointment and anger, "Okay, Ye Zijin, you are amazing, you don't need to care..."

Ye Zijin only felt that he was suppressing her to the point of suffocation, and the discomfort in her stomach came back again, and she was biting her lip, her forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat.She just felt that her body was about to fall, and she was weak and weak.In panic and confusion, she grabbed his shirt collar, but her body still couldn't stop sliding down the wall.

"Zijin, what's wrong with you? Zijin!" Meng Haoxiang hugged her, calling her name, and when his fingers touched her forehead, it was cold and wet.Looking at her pale face, Meng Haoxiang regretted his deliberate neglect these days, she is a woman after all, how could she bear so much.Meng Haoxiang wanted to go out with Ye Zijin in his arms, but Ye Zijin, who still had some consciousness, strongly resisted.

"I...I'm going to say goodbye to Boss Qiao and the others first..." Ye Zijin's voice floated softly in Meng Haoxiang's ears.

Meng Haoxiang helped her up and said, "I'll send someone to Boss Qiao to tell you, I'll take you to the hospital first."

Ye Zijin really couldn't force herself to go back to the Millennium Pavilion. She covered her belly with one hand, and Meng Haoxiang wrapped her hand around her shoulders with the other, and was half-carried and half-supported by him out of the Rongshun Pavilion.

Unexpectedly, Meng Haoxiang and Ye Zijin were surrounded by a group of people as soon as they left the gate of the restaurant. The news about Meng Haoxiang and He Manling's marriage has been widely circulated these days. Both of them are outstanding figures in the upper class, so they naturally attract a lot of attention , Many tabloid reporters are eager to dig out any new developments.

When they saw the two walking out of the Rongshun Pavilion with such an intimate embrace, the reporters waiting here exploded, scrambling to throw a series of ridiculous questions at Meng Haoxiang, making the atmosphere very awkward.

"Boss Meng, I heard that you are going to marry Ms. He soon. Is this true? Did you know about Ms. He's wedding dress fitting at Baihe Studio?"

"Boss Meng, what is your relationship with this lady? Are you a lover or a girlfriend?"

"Boss Meng, this lady's complexion is not very good. Are you going to the hospital now? Is this lady pregnant?"

………………

Meng Haoxiang pushed aside the besieging reporters while protecting Ye Zijin.The driver, Deng Fu, saw that the boss was having trouble getting out, so he hurried over to help, and the two of them got into the car through the crowd and numerous cameras held up high.There was still a series of cameras clicking outside, which was disturbing.

The driver finally squeezed out and got into the car, started the car and went to the hospital.

The next day, some tabloids rushed to report what happened at the Rongshun Pavilion last night.Many headlines are very eye-catching, such as "Boss Meng went to the hospital with his family at night, and Ms. He is heartbroken and never leaves the house." There was even a "Linglong" magazine directly discussing how to identify philandering men based on this news, in short, all kinds of ridiculous rumors There is a lot of noise.

The hospital was peaceful, Ye Zijin took medicine and slept all night in the hospital, Meng Haoxiang stayed by Ye Zijin's side the whole time.

Early in the morning, Qian Jiang and Qu Xiangtian brought porridge and steamed buns, because Ye Zijin was there, neither of them mentioned today's newspaper.Qu Xiangtian pulled Qian Jiang out of the ward, Qian Jiang sighed and said: "He is a dedicated man, but why is he written as a philandering son, those newspaper companies who kill thousands of dollars, I hope I won't let them close down. "

Qu Xiangtian said helplessly: "This kind of matter still needs to be handled by the eldest brother himself. Don't be foolish and self-assessed and cause trouble again. I heard that Miss He fell ill, and I have sent someone to deliver some supplements to her, elder brother If he can't leave now, we as brothers have to help him take care of it, otherwise the eldest brother will be in trouble for Lord Hua in the future."

Qian Jiang nodded and smiled, "It's still you who are thoughtful, but this Miss He is really pitiful. After chasing for so long, she still failed. Who told me that our elder brother is so outstanding, she is so persistent and reluctant to let go. Alas, why didn't we encounter such a good thing."

Qu Xiangtian glanced at Qian Jiang contemptuously, and said, "Look at your stomach, Miss Ye is not pregnant, you seem to be pregnant for more than five months, if you eat like this, you will really become a pig, I am afraid that Miss Duan will be pregnant in the future." I'm going to beat you with a whip."

"Hey, stinky fourth child, you are more powerful than that savage girl..." The two laughed and left.

In the ward, Meng Haoxiang filled the porridge and handed it to Ye Zijin. Ye Zijin said thank you softly, took a sip before putting it down.Because I just vomited last night, whatever I eat right now tastes bland in my mouth, I have no appetite anyway, so I simply don’t eat.

Meng Haoxiang thought she was still angry about what happened last night, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I'm sorry, I was too impulsive yesterday..."

Ye Zijin lowered her head and remained silent, she didn't know what to say, when she thought of the news that he and He Manling were about to get married, her heart felt like a ball of wet emotions, making her suffocated.

"You want to buy Zhao's old factory and start a wholesale garment business?" Meng Haoxiang saw that she was a little uncomfortable, so he changed the subject.

Ye Zijin replied: "Yes."

It was only yesterday that Meng Haoxiang found out why she invited Qiao Zhiqing and his party to dinner. It turned out that she had such an adventurous plan. Meng Haoxiang was a little surprised at first, but he also knew that Ye Zijin was different from ordinary women. She was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. The ambition is not inferior to that of men.

"Did you ask Boss Qiao as a guarantee to borrow money from the bank? Even if you bought the factory, the money for the equipment is not a small amount. Are you really confident that you can earn back the principal with interest?" Meng Haoxiang asked casually.

Ye Zijin actually didn't have a clue in his heart, but since he decided to do this, he couldn't lose first in terms of momentum, so he blurted out: "I believe that within three years, I can pay off the bank and make some money. As long as I have enough Orders and broad sales, I will take care of these myself."

Meng Haoxiang nodded, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Since Boss Ye is so confident, what else can I say, I can only support it."

His eyes suddenly changed, he stared at those beautiful eyes, and said in a gentle voice: "Zijin, why didn't you come to find me as a guarantor? Is it because of that news? It's all fake. Manling and I There has never been any engagement, I only love you..."

Ye Zijin was stunned for a moment, forcing herself to stay awake, remembering the charity dinner, Ye Zijin raised her face, and said calmly: "That night, why did you enter the Licha Hotel without waiting for me, because you deliberately wanted me to be stopped outside Embarrassing?"

Seeing that she was concerned about that matter, Meng Haoxiang said: "I also know that you went to see Zhao Jinnian that day and forgot the time we agreed on, so you were angry. As for Manling, I met her at a banquet, and I didn't invite her in advance. She is a female companion, just to see you come in with Ding Kai later..."

"That's why you competed with Ding Kai for the sapphire necklace? You are a little too petty, Boss Meng." Ye Zijin glanced at him, and his expression softened a little.

Meng Haoxiang said indignantly: "You said I was stingy, what about you? You haven't come to me for so long, don't you miss me at all?"

"I don't want to." Ye Zijin blurted out, then turned her face away to look at the scenery outside the window.

Meng Haoxiang suddenly picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into Ye Zijin's mouth, then hugged her and sealed her lips.

Ye Zijin was lying in Meng Haoxiang's arms, her mouth was full of the smell of steamed buns, Meng Haoxiang's lips only touched hers lightly, but she could feel the warmth of his lips.Ye Zijin puffed her cheeks and finally swallowed the steamed bun, wiped her shiny lips, and said in a low voice, "This is a hospital, what should I do if someone sees it!"

Meng Haoxiang smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? You were already photographed by those reporters last night. You must have been in the newspaper today. There is nothing to worry about, and it's not something shameful. Our relationship will be announced sooner or later. It doesn't matter if it's a step earlier. "

Ye Zijin blushed, bit her lips and said, "Of course you men don't care. If something happens later, the newspaper will write that a certain boss chooses another spouse, and a certain woman is abandoned. Public opinion has always been towards you men. You can have many Concubine, the more you have, the more face you have. Others will say that she is capable and capable; and if any woman dares to remarry after being divorced, she will be scolded for being incomplete. It's not fair, I can only protect my own reputation as much as possible."

Hearing her fierce words, Meng Haoxiang felt that her serious look was a bit naive and funny, so he couldn't help laughing: "Then how many concubines should a man like me marry to be able to hold his face? I heard that The boss has eight concubines, I can't compare to him in terms of looks and strength, can I?"

"You..." Ye Zijin glared at him, knowing that he was making fun of herself, she snorted softly and ignored her.

Meng Haoxiang gently took her hand and put it on her chest, and said with a smile: "Zijin, I, Meng Haoxiang, am not a light-hearted person, and I will not promise anything casually. Today, I will officially tell you that this The only person I want to marry in my life is you, and I will only have one wife in this life."

Ye Zijin only felt that the palm of his hand was warm and moist, she wanted to take it out but he grabbed it back tightly.She began to avoid his gaze, but seeing his firm attitude, her heart softened unconsciously.

Ye Zijin looked up at him, and couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, your Boss Meng can only have one wife, but you can have many concubines at the same time..."

"There is absolutely no concubine! You are so difficult to deal with if you are alone. Wouldn't it make me angry to death if there are too many children? But you can have many children, seven or eight are fine..." Meng Haoxiang joked.

Ye Zijin glanced at him, and said two words coldly, "Rogue."

A few days later, the rumors that started to spread were overwhelmed by another more shocking news. Meng Haoxiang publicly admitted his love relationship with Ye Zijin in front of reporters, and said that he and Ms. He Manling were just friends for many years, as close as brother and sister.Ye Zijin suddenly became the object of discussion of countless ladies and ladies, either envious or jealous, apart from talking about Ye Zijin, they occasionally sympathized with He Manling when they talked about it.

The day before Meng Haoxiang's public relationship was the opening day of Ye Zijin's Shen Ji Huafu Factory. Because of the coincidence of these two events, some people maliciously speculated that Ye Zijin wanted to use Meng Haoxiang to promote Shen Ji's brand. Jin is a scheming and snobbish woman, in short, there are all kinds of comments, praise, criticism, and malicious attacks, but Ye Zijin ignores them, and puts all her thoughts into the first order that Shenji Huafu Factory received.

This morning Meng Haoxiang came to Baohui Foreign Firm, and Secretary Luo brought him the daily newspaper as usual.Meng Haoxiang randomly picked up a copy of "Ta Kung Pao", glanced at the greasy headline, and said mockingly: "The pens of these national governments are quite good at whitewashing, and they blame their own incompetence on the despicable and cunning of the Communist Party."

Secretary Luo said: "Those from the investigation department must find some way to excuse themselves, otherwise Jiang Gong will scold them severely, and even scolding their mothers will not be enough."

Meng Haoxiang glanced at the newspaper with a disdainful expression, "The death of Zheng Shaoming was covered up by making pornographic news before, but this time the inspector sent from Nanjing died again, and it was because there were spies inside. I think they can come up with something next time." For what reason, it's ridiculous."

Secretary Luo smiled and said: "Who made them unable to find any clues, pity those pens that have racked their brains."

Meng Haoxiang took off his suit and hung it on the coat rack. His white shirt looked whiter and softer under the sunlight of the autumn morning. Looking at the blue sky, he was in a good mood. He turned to Secretary Luo and said, "Order one for me." Seats for two at Maisel West tonight at seven."

"Okay." Secretary Luo smiled, nodded in understanding, and then went out.
