Chapter 111: Reluctance to admit it

"Yan Yan, your little cousin is amazing. ”

Zou Yan was writing the final copy, and Yao Ling, a colleague and friend at the next table, came over to talk to her, "Have you read the gossip on Weibo?"

She stopped what she was doing, took her mobile phone and glanced at it casually, it was not a hot news, and the hot search was quite low. The Sheng family has always been very low-key, but those who like to dig gossip and love the secrets of wealthy families will engage in something like the four young people in Beicheng, the talents of the sea market or something.

Sheng Xiao happened to be included in the four young people in the northern city, and he was the most outstanding one, but he was too low-key, and there was no lace news at all. Now that it is difficult to find such a lace, this group of people is naturally like chicken blood, and some people in those hot gossip forums have specially opened posts to discuss.

Sheng Xiao's reviews are unanimously praised, both inside and outside the circle.

Zou Yan went to the gossip group and read the posts, and almost all of them compared him to a dream lover, and they were overly curious about what his other half looked like.

A few of the gossip broke in the post, but they can't be faked anymore.

"It's just that the paparazzi are obscene, and Lulu has a normal brother-sister relationship with him. She glanced at the tall candid photo, it should be an angle problem, and it looked a little ambiguous.

She put down her phone and continued to work.

Yao Ling smiled and said, "How do you know that your sister doesn't have this idea? Now the little girls are all very shrewd, such a golden mountain is placed in front of them, who can not be moved." ”

"I know her character. ”

"However, if she really has anything to do with Sheng Xiao, do you think the Sheng family will agree? Although she is just a cousin, it feels strange that she really married in. ”

Zou Yan stopped his hand and looked sideways, "Are you so idle?" Is it really okay for you to gossip about my family affairs in front of me?"

Yao Ling stuck out her tongue and slid back with a smile.

In the evening, Zou Yan went home after dinner with someone, and she asked the maid, but Sheng Taoguang had not come back yet.

Yuan Meihua was reading in her study, when Zou Yan went in, Zhuo Meihua was reading, she bought a lot of maternal and infant books a while ago, and she has been reading, and it is not the first time to be a mother, but that serious look is like being a mother for the first time.

Zou Yan didn't know if she was as serious and cautious as she is now when she first became a mother.

"Mom. She gently closed the door, walked over to her and sat down, looked at her feet, and began to swell a little, "How long have you been sitting?

Yuan Meihua closed the book and rubbed her eyebrows, "No, I'll read it for a while and go to sleep." In the last month or so, I was finally going to get through, and the doctor told me that I might be born prematurely, and after the New Year, I went directly to the hospital to give birth. I hope you don't come out early, and it is best to have a caesarean section at the time we chose before. ”

"You're so careful, probably not. ”

She smiled and touched her belly, "It's better not." At this moment, she seemed to begin to fantasize about the good days after the birth of the child, and after a moment of silence, she collected her thoughts, looked at Zou Yan, and asked, "What about you?

"Yes. ”

"Do you really have, or are you perfunctory to me?"

"Mom, if you think I'm an eyesore in this house, I can move out. I have already thought about it, and when you give birth to the child, I will go to the Haishi branch, and I have already handed in the application. As for getting married, I don't want to think about it for the time being, but when I think about it, I'll naturally come back with someone, maybe pregnant. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about. Yuan Meihua twisted her eyebrows, "Your current identity is different from before, you don't even think about getting pregnant before marriage." I really don't understand, which one of the people I arranged for you is not a young talent, you have to have good looks, you have to have a family background, and the attitude of people is also very good, what are you not satisfied with?"

Zou Yan didn't want to talk about this, "By the way, do you know about the scandal between Sheng Xiao and Lulu?"

Yuan Meihua glanced at her and said, "You also said it was a scandal, do you think I would believe it?" Yuan Lu is much more sensible than you, what can be done and what cannot be done, she knows very well in her heart. I don't need to say anything more at all, but you, a few years older than her, are not sensible at all. ”

Zou Yan was not in a hurry or annoyed, and asked slowly: "Then what if Lulu is really with Sheng Xiao?"

"What?"

Zou Yan didn't answer immediately, just glanced at her, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I'll just talk about it." It's almost ten o'clock, and you're not going to sleep yet? I'll help you upstairs. ”

Yuan Meihua's expression was slightly condensed, but she didn't ask much, but she still fell into her heart, and she really didn't take it to heart. She never thought that anything could happen between these two people, and what Pei Li had been nagging in her ear all the time was that she hoped that Yuan Lu would find someone with a family background comparable to her, and she didn't want to climb high, let alone let her marry into a wealthy family or something.

I hope she can live an ordinary life and be healthy and happy all the time.

And when Yuan Lu mentioned Sheng Xiao before her, she was just sparse and ordinary, could it be that there was something really?

Zou Yan saw that her expression was different, and it was estimated that her question was asked in her heart at once, "Mom, don't think about it too much, I'm just asking casually." They don't have much. ”

Yuan Meihua smiled, "I don't care if they have anything, what I only care about is what Taoguang will think in his heart, if he is enlightened, what can be the problem with the two of them together? ”

"Really, do you think so?"

I don't know if it will consolidate her position, but it is very likely that it will make her and Sheng Taoguang suspicious.

If Yuan Lu was really with Sheng Xiao, those people didn't know how to chew the root of their tongue, and they would definitely think it was her scheming.

Yuan Meihua sighed, "I can't take care of Sheng Xiao's affairs, whether they want to be together or not, then I can't decide." When that day comes, I won't interfere. Some people stop it, why should I be this bad person. ”

"Lulu, that kid, shouldn't want to take this step. She has so much affection. It's not you, you just think about yourself, and you never think about me. If you marry well, then it will really strengthen my position. ”

She grabbed Zou Yan's hand and said, "Don't think that if I give birth to a child, I won't care about you anymore, since I took you with me, I will be responsible for you to the end, you are my daughter, because of you, I have gone through the most difficult time, and I have this determination to let our mother and daughter live a good life." In my heart, you are important, and I will give you the best. ”

Zou Yan pursed her lips and smiled, hugging her shoulder, "I know, I'm not jealous, you can rest well." ”

......

Yuan Lu just wanted to find out the source of this gossip, who was going to make waves, as for the comments on the Internet, she didn't read it, no matter what they said, she couldn't drop a piece of meat if she said it. Maybe Sheng Xiao said it in advance, so she didn't take this seriously, but she was just annoyed by the people who were doing trouble behind it.

As soon as the scandal came out, the next day, the assistant of the brand boss took the initiative to call, saying that he had time to eat together and discuss how to solve the problem.

Yuan Lu took Hu Fang with him, and ordered a few pieces with a good amount of wine.

At the dinner table, Hu Fang apologized and toasted with the counterpart several times, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. Yuan Lu personally entertained Mr. Fang, they had met once before, on the golf course.

Mr. Fang said: "I have been on a business trip before, and I only came back in the past two days, and the secretary told me that you asked me several times, but because of the advertisement, she didn't reply to you." In fact, it's all a small problem, and it's good for everyone to open it. As for the people on my side, they are also strong-blooded, and they can't listen to a single heavy word, and as a result, this matter will make a big fuss, and I don't know if it will affect your company. I've heard that several projects have been broken?"

"In the final analysis, it's our fault, and it's normal to have a few projects, and I accept them. I'm sorry for the trouble I posted to you. Yuan Lu took the wine glass, "This glass of wine is my apology to you, and I promise that this will not happen again in the future." Your brand is a household name in China, and this incident will definitely have an impact on your brand. You see, if you let the company's accounting department do the accounting, I am willing to make compensation. ”

Mr. Fang waved his hand, "It is normal for young people to make some mistakes, and the most important thing is how to solve problems after they occur." You did a good job, we are also friends, and it would be too much to talk about compensation. It seems that you are so sincere, I will hand over the promotion of our online products to you, and in two days, you will come over in person to sign a contract. How?"

Yuan Lu was stunned, Mr. Fang had already taken the wine glass and touched it with her, "But this wine, you can't escape today." ”

Yuan Lu immediately came back to his senses, drank the wine in the cup with him, smiled, and said, "That's natural, Mr. Fang takes care of me so much, I will definitely accompany me to the end." ”

The people who followed Yuan Lu were very surprised, but they didn't expect that not only would they not be blamed, but they also gave them a bigger business, and they got tens of millions of promotion fees a year for the promotion of all products.

Yuan Lu's company is small, in fact, it can't eat such a big one.

She knew that this was due to Sheng Xiao's name, the last time they played golf, she heard that this party always wanted to cooperate with Sheng Xiao, but Sheng Xiao did not speak.

"But Mr. Fang, my company is small, and you are such a big company, I am afraid that I can't eat it, and when the time comes, I will be really ashamed to mess up you and smash your signboard. Yuan Lu took the wine and poured it for Mr. Fang and himself, "Otherwise, when my company grows bigger in the future and all aspects are perfected, how about you hand over the publicity and promotion to me?"

Mr. Fang squinted and looked at her with a smile, and after a while, he nodded and toasted with her again.

After that, cup after cup, Yuan Lu caught them all.

At the end of the meal, Yuan Lu was already drunk, she was holding on to the last shred of reason, and after sending people away, she went to the bathroom to vomit.

This accusation is still trivial.

If you really should eat the benefits he gave, it will not be good to add trouble to Sheng Xiao when the time comes.

Hu Fang and Zhang Xin were taking care of them by the side, and after Yuan Lu vomited, his mind was not very clear. When Hu Fang came, he took the antidote medicine, fed her hard, and poured warm water on her. Help the person to the sofa and sit down to rest first.

The others left first, and Yuan Lu was lying down, his stomach was very uncomfortable, but he wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit.

At this time, the door of the private room was pushed open, Zhang Xin and Hu Fang turned back, they hadn't seen this person, Hu Fang got up, "May I ask who you are?"

"I'm a friend of Yuan Lu, you go first, I'll take care of it here. ”

The two were quite vigilant, "No need, Mr. Yuan told us before that if she was drunk, send her home." Moreover, now that our Mr. Yuan is drunk, we don't know if you are her friend or not. ”

"Now, this is my ID card, and I'll keep it here for you. If something happens, you call the patrol to arrest me. ”

Zhang Xin looked at the name on the ID card, Meng Zheng.

She tucked her ID card back, "Who knows if it's true." ”

Meng Zheng smiled, "Then I'll escort you back, okay?"

Hu Fang and Zhang Xin glanced at each other, and when they saw that the other party was tough, the two didn't say anything.

Meng Zheng stepped forward to take a look at Yuan Lu's situation, and saw that her face was a little pale, he glanced at the wine bottle on the table, it seemed that he had drunk a lot, and it was all white. A woman, where can she bear such an irrigation.

Meng Zheng said: "Go to the hospital first, I see that her face is a little wrong." ”

Hu Fang and Zhang Xin looked at it, and there was indeed something wrong.

The two of them did as they said, and one of them helped Yuan Lu up, but fortunately, she was light and easy to carry.

Meng Zheng followed behind them, and when they got downstairs, there was a car waiting.

Just as I was about to get into the car, a car came up and honked its horn twice.

Zhang Xin had a good memory, and when he saw the license plate of the car, he immediately stopped and said, "That's Mr. Sheng's car." ”

The car stopped quickly, Lao Qin got out of the car, hurriedly walked over, saw Yuan Lu being carried unconscious by them, and then looked at Meng Zheng who was standing behind them, and finally said to Zhang Xin: "Mr. Sheng has something to do, let me pick up someone." ”

Zhang Xin nodded again and again, "It's just right, we're going to the hospital, Sister Lu has drunk a lot, which will make her face pale and cold sweat, and it feels a little wrong." ”

"Then get in the car. ”

Lao Qin glanced at Meng Zheng again, and then came over to help carry Yuan Lu over.

Meng Zheng stood where he was and did not step forward to stop him.

Waiting for people to get in the car, Lao Qin hurriedly drove to the hospital.

When their car left, Meng Zheng walked around the car in front of him, walked to the Bentley Mulsanne that had been parked on the side, and knocked on the window.

The window of the car was lowered halfway, revealing Jiang Ren's heavy face, "It's Sheng Xiao's person." ”

Jiang Ren guessed it, and he also remembered the car.

Meng Zheng said: "There shouldn't be any big problem. ”

Jiang Ren got out of the car, "I'll go on a trip, you go back first." ”

As he spoke, he walked over to the other car, pulled the door and got in.

Meng Zheng didn't stop it, knowing that he couldn't stop it, so he didn't do much.

......

Yuan Lu arrived at the hospital, but after examination, there was no major problem, it may be caused by recent fatigue, high pressure, and excessive drinking. The doctor prescribed medicine and found a bed for her to lie down and hang the bottle.

Zhang Xin guarded her, and Hu Fang accompanied her for a while before going back first.

After Uncle Qin paid the fee that should be paid, he sent a message to Sheng Xiao and briefly informed him of the situation.

"Would you like something to eat? I'll buy it." ”

Zhang Xin shook his head and said, "No, thank you, uncle." ”

Uncle Qin stood by the side, he thought about it for a while, and took a photo for Sheng Xiao to make him feel more at ease.

Sheng Xiao was driving, and the phone was placed on the storage box and vibrated twice. When the car met the red light, he picked it up and looked at it, frowning slightly.

In the back seat of the car, Liang Yunyue and Pei Ying were chatting, and the topic was thrown to him, and there was no response for a long time.

Liang Yunyue glanced at him, and didn't know what he was looking at, he was a little fascinated.

She coughed, "Sheng Xiao." ”

"Huh?"

He took away his phone and retracted his mind by the way.

Liang Yunyue said: "I said it's still early, do you want to have a drink, you two haven't seen each other for a long time, catch up with the old days, and cultivate your feelings." ”

Sheng Xiao: "Pei Ying has been on the plane for more than ten hours, and there is a jet lag, so she should go back and rest now." What's more, Grandpa Pei and Grandma Pei are still waiting for her. ”

Speaking of the two old men, Liang Yunyue has nothing to say.

Pei Ying arrived at three o'clock this afternoon, and Liang Yunyue went to pick up the people, and after picking them up, Sheng Xiao was the east and had a meal together. In fact, the dinner table has already been reminisced, and going out for a drink is obviously Liang Yunyue's idea.

The Sheng family and the Pei family are world friends, Liang Yunyue has a good relationship with Pei Ying's mother, these two children often played together when they were young, and they went to the same school, and they were in different classes in high school, and then they studied abroad together.

The relationship is very good, but later Sheng Xiao returned to China, and the two had less contact, and they were busy with their own lives, and only occasionally chatted about their recent situation online.

Pei Ying came back two years ago, and the two had dinner together, and Sheng Xiao personally entertained her.

After so many years of friendship, there is no place for strangeness.

The Pei family's focus has now shifted abroad, immigrating to the United States a few years ago, but the old people in the family have stayed in China without changing them. Pei Ying's grandparents are from Haishi, and when she came back this time, her grandparents were very happy.

The old man still lives in the old bungalow left by his ancestors, and he spends a lot of money on maintaining the house every year.

The house is on Yu'an Road, and there is a famous ancestral house of the Pei family here.

After the red light, Sheng Xiao's speed was a little faster than just now.

Soon arrived at Yu'an Road, Sheng Xiao personally sent people in, Grandpa Pei was indeed waiting for his father, standing in the yard, and was very happy to see them come in.

"Xiao Nan is here. ”

The old man is still very tough, his hair is gray, but his complexion is very good, and his spirit is better than that of a young man.

Sheng Xiao called politely, "Grandpa Pei." ”

Old man: "Xiao Sheng, I haven't seen you for a long time, come in and have a cup of tea?"

Sheng Xiao was about to refuse, but Liang Yunyue came in with the prepared gifts, "Okay, do you remember me?"

Liang Yunyue walked to Sheng Xiao's side.

Old man: "How can I not remember, I am not old enough to recognize people." ”

"Yes, Dad Pei, you look like you're only sixty. ”

"Fast forward, fast forward, I'll ask someone to make tea for you, I don't have anything else here, just the best tea." ”

The old man was very enthusiastic, and Liang Yunyue was also smiling and wanted to follow, but Sheng Xiao didn't move, and said, "Grandpa Pei, I still have some things to deal with, and I'll come to drink tea next time." ”

When Liang Yunyue heard this, she turned her head and glared at him.

I saw him smiling and looking like he was about to leave.

Old man: "Since there is something, then you go first, don't delay." ”

Pei Ying nodded, "Yes, Brother Sheng Xiao, if you have something to do, go and get busy." After my aunt finished her tea, I would ask someone to take her back. ”

"Good. ”

The master said so, and Liang Yunyue had nothing to say, so she could only go along with it.

Sheng Xiao said goodbye, turned around and hurried away.

......

Jiang Ren wore a mask and walked past them, walked to the nearby stairwell, and hid in the dark. No one noticed him.

Zhang Xin didn't eat well at the dinner table, so his stomach began to get hungry, and his stomach was uncomfortable, so he wanted to drink a sip of hot porridge.

"Uncle Qin, I'll go out and buy some porridge to drink, and you help me watch Sister Lu. ”

A bottle of water hangs down, and Yuan Lu's face will be a lot better.

Uncle Qin said, "You stay here, I'll buy it." ”

When Uncle Qin left, he poured her a cup of hot water and went out to buy food.

After Uncle Qin walked away, Zhang Xin suddenly felt sick to her stomach, and couldn't help but run to the bathroom to vomit, she moved very fast, and went to the toilet by the way, but when she was about to open the door, the door was stuck, and she couldn't open it.

At this time, Yuan Lu was lying on the bed alone, she was lying in the aisle, the surroundings were quite secluded, when Zhang Xin walked away, she covered half of her face with clothes, thinking that she was going to go back quickly, so she didn't call the nurse to come and take care of it.

Few people passed by here, Jiang Ren came out of the stairwell, walked to Yuan Lu's side, pulled off the coat covering her, and looked at her face.

She looked much better, her cheeks flushed slightly, and as soon as her clothes were pulled away, her body trembled slightly, as if she was a little cold. It's really cold in this aisle, and the last bottle can go home after hanging up.

He stretched out his hand, the back of his fingers rubbed lightly against her cheek, his hand was a little cold, and at this touch, she shrunk her neck again, as if she had a feeling.

At this time, she opened her eyes slightly, and a vague shadow appeared in her vision, even with her face.

She muttered, "It's uncomfortable." ”

Jiang Ren heard it, such a lingering tone, he had never been able to resist.

I couldn't resist it before, and I can't resist it now.

Even if he resisted in his heart, as long as she gently seduced him, he would always take the bait.

So he got angry and then hurt her without words, so as to make himself comfortable.

But in the end, was it really comfortable? He didn't even think about it, he just stubbornly felt that he couldn't like it.

How could he admit how fast and intense her heart was beating when she came to him and saw her. Basically, there is no need for her to ask those two words, just look at her, and when you see the enthusiasm in her eyes, you don't have any other ideas in your head.

How could he admit that when he was bumped into by her in the movie theater, he was nervous and flustered, his palms were sweaty, and his first reaction was to be afraid. Then there was chagrin, annoyance at why she looked like this, seducing so many men.

He wouldn't admit that his heart hurt as if he was being broken when he saw her face scratched.

He wouldn't admit the ecstasy that grew in his heart when he saw her tattooed his name on her chest.

He wouldn't admit it, and told himself firmly that it was just an obsession with her body, not a liking. No man can resist it.

A woman of this appearance is born to seduce men.

Like his father's mistress, men are nothing more than obsessed with hue.

He won't be like his dad, absolutely not.

Just like his mother, he is paranoid about one thing, and he is crazy about it.

In the past, those people always said that he was sick, and he would inherit his mother's disease, which could not be escaped.

He didn't think so.

Now the doctor has determined that he does have it, and that the degree of his condition is in the middle stage. It's already some serious paranoia.

He squatted down, took her hand, and asked softly, "What's uncomfortable?"

"Belly...... Child. ”

He was about to reach out and rub it for her.

"Jiang Ren. The two words that suppressed the anger fell into his ears.
