Chapter 77: Are You Jealous?
Meng Yan lowered his eyes and covered the smile under his eyes.
The thousand-year-old fox who is proficient in the art of speech is different when he chats about fasting.
People preemptively proved their innocence, saying that it was all "gossip", if he really wanted to be crooked, he didn't trust it, and he tarnished the old man's innocence.
He smiled and replied ambiguously: "There is gossip all the time." β
There is a suspicion of avoiding the important and trivializing this, and he doesn't say whether he wants to be crooked, but it is an indirect statement, and the two people on the other side understand.
In the evening, the sky sank and the clouds overheaded, a prelude to a torrential rain, the wind was strong and quiet, and the leaves rustled, and the air was filled with the smell of earth and plant roots, almost overshadowing the scent of sandalwood burning in the incense burner.
Meng Zelin laughed twice, "Also, if you do business, where can you avoid the bloody storm." β
Meng Yan opened his cup and took a sip of tea: "You are right." β
Meng Zelin said: "Just like us, even if we are thousands of miles away. Haven't you just come back and been involved in unwarranted disputes?"
Meng Yan laughed and said nothing.
Meng Jingchuan understood that although he had a good attitude and only maintained basic etiquette, he was still suspicious of them.
"Grandpa, he didn't mean anything else, he just wanted to say that what he didn't do was not done. Meng Jingchuan explained straight to the point, "To be honest, over the years, we have seen each other for very little time, and our relationship is weak. β
"Besides, the day of your car accident, it happened that we were going back to Beicheng, this incident was too coincidental, what do you think?"
"To be honest, I don't really know it. Meng Yankai was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, his tone became cautious and serious, "If the driver is inexperienced." Dusch also didn't sit on the relatively safe left side, and the outcome was likely different. There's a next time, and I have good reason to be suspicious of suspicious people, so I can avoid risks and take precautions, right?"
"Yes, yes, of course, it is reasonable for anyone to be wary and suspicious after encountering such a thing," Meng Zelin agreed. said calmly, paused for a moment at the end, and said: "It's just that, Yankai, we have plans to go side by side with you this time, and we will definitely not do such a hurtful thing." β
"Shoulder to shoulder?" Meng Yan raised his eyebrows, chewing on the words, as if he believed it or not.
Meng Zelin said: "Jingchuan returned to the headquarters, and he was not very familiar with the environment, so he needed someone to take care of it. And in foreign business, he can also give you a little help. The two of you work together, and the future is promising. β
The words were very subtle, but Meng Yankai, who should have understood, understood.
Meng Zelin is using his own voice in the overseas market to back him up, in exchange for Meng Yankai to help Meng Jingchuan gain a firm foothold in the headquarters.
This is a very fair deal, after all, on the surface, with their respective sides, it is difficult to win or lose with Meng Zeshi's faction, not to mention that from time to time there are other shrimp soldiers and crabs that will muddy the waters under the pool.
"You're pretty straightforward. Meng Yankai hooked his lips.
Meng Yankai never replied positively, and Meng Jingchuan said it didn't matter. Expressing understanding, "I know you have concerns and mistrust, and if you are not in a hurry at this time, you can wait and see, or wait for the previous matter to be cleared before making a decision, anyway, our sincerity is already here." β
Meng Jingchuan opened the wine, Meng Yankai raised his hand to cover the cup: "No, I'll drive." β
Meng Jingchuan quipped: "You have been bitten by a snake for ten years and are afraid of the well rope, so you can feel at ease when you drive yourself?"
Meng Yan smiled, which was considered a default.
??
After entering the private room and waiting for the dishes, Huo Shifang mentioned to Du Shi the reason for looking for her.
He has a cousin who is preparing to make a movie, she refuses to be funded by her family, and unsurprisingly encounters some difficulties in attracting investment and finding actors. Walked into a dead end.
This cousin has a good relationship with him, and he promised not to use his own resources to help her, but he can help her introduce insiders.
"When she told me, I immediately thought of you, I heard that your agency not only has brokerage business, but also does film and television planning and investment, although it has not been established for a long time, it can produce many well-known and blockbuster movies every year. β
Du Shi said with a faint smile: "It mainly depends on the foresight and vision of the high-level. So, do you mean that you want Ning Tian to invest in your cousin's movie?"
Huo Shifang denied: "No, I didn't mean that. Now that she has prepared the script and other aspects, just go through the normal review process, if Ning Tian feels interested, it is of course a good thing to be able to invest, and if she thinks it is not suitable, just refuse her. Also, if there are suitable actors in your company, I hope to recommend them. β
"Choosing an actor has to be a two-way choice, not only your cousin likes it, but also the actor has the willingness to act, whether it is an investment or an actor, everything has to be read the script. "I can tell my agent first, she is also in charge of some film and television projects in Beicheng, if appropriate, so that they have time to meet first." β
She thought for a moment, and then put the ugly words in front of her: "But I can't guarantee that the result will be as good as I want." β
"It's okay, I'm very grateful for the opportunity. β
"That's so polite. β
The dishes are served one after another. Du Shi looked at it, it was all relatively light dishes, Huo Shifang took the initiative to say: "I think you have a bone injury, you should avoid it, it's right to be light." β
Du Shi smiled: "You have a heart." β
Huo Shi glanced at her, and found that the expression on her face made him feel a little familiar, polite and detached, with a faint smile between her eyebrows and eyes, as if deliberately created, which gave people an ethereal sense of distance.
After revealing the matter of asking for help, Huo Shifang provoked the topic again, in a casual tone: "Is there a result of the last car accident?"
Du Shi swallowed the food, stopped the chopsticks, and said meaningfully: "How can I know about the affairs of your Meng family?"
Huo Shi said relaxedly: "Strictly speaking, I am not a member of the Meng family, so I don't know. It's just that there are a lot of coincidences in this matter, and it looks weird, what do you think?"
"Me?" Dusch looked at him, smiled, and said slowly, "I don't have any ideas. β
"It's you who had the accident, but maybe the target was originally Meng Yankai, so you're not afraid that he will be involved in these things again?"
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, after all, it's the first time I've experienced it. Du Shi sighed fearfully, "But with the last incident in the glass room, my threshold has also been raised, as long as I don't cause any substantial damage, it's nothing to be afraid of." β
"The first time?" Huo Shifang seemed surprised. "I thought that when you fell in love with Meng Yankai, you had already experienced a lot. β
Du Shi wondered: "What do you say? I didn't make it public when I fell in love with him, and even if anyone wanted to target him, they wouldn't be able to calculate it against me." β
Huo Shi put down his chopsticks and supported his elbows on the edge of the table, "However, I think there should be no peace around him, especially now that he has been promoted, there are many voices supporting him." The limelight is too strong, suppressing some people, and it is easy to provoke some right and wrong. β
Du Shi lifted his eyes, his gaze swept over his arms, and the cuffs of his folded shirt, and pretended to be stupid absentmindedly: "You know the affairs of the Meng family well, and what you said is beyond my imagination, it turns out that Meng Yankai's situation in the company is so difficult." β
"After all, if you have anything to do with the environment of the Meng family, there are some things that you can't do if you don't want to know. Huo Shifang asked again: "Didn't Meng Yankai mention the company's affairs to you at home?"
"No, I don't understand what he told me. Ducks listen to thunder. Du Shi blinked, as if embarrassed, looking like a simple Kuotai with a monotonous life of "no brains".
"And what do you usually talk about?"
Du Shi said abruptly: "What are you talking about, he is very tired from work, and he falls asleep." β
Huo Shifang suddenly burst out laughing.
Du Shi looked at him with bright eyes, and laughed as well: "What are you laughing at?"
Huo Shi waved his hand and quickly apologized, "It's nothing, I just think the relationship between the two of you is different from what I imagined." β
"What's the difference?" Dusch asked.
He thought for a moment: "No, at least I don't think he's a person who doesn't understand amorous feelings." Wouldn't it be boring to be around such people?"
"Hey. What else could he do? He's rich. Du Shi said, "The perfect man in this world has long been extinct, how can he be expected to make money and be gentle and considerate?"
Huo Shifang didn't understand: "If you have money, you can accept all his shortcomings?"
Du Shi smiled and said embarrassedly: "He's still good-looking, looking at that face is in a better mood, if it's boring, it's boring." β
Huo Shifang looked at her, as if he wanted to speak, his eyes were curious, and finally said: "I thought you married him because you loved him." β
Du Shi suddenly covered his lips and laughed. Indescribable surprise: "You men still believe this?"
Huo Shifang looked at her half-mocking eyes, and didn't know how to answer for a while, and said after a while: "Let's score people." β
After the meal, Du Shi and Huo Shi put them at the door of the open-air parking apron.
A raindrop fell on her forehead, and Dusch looked up at the sky and strode into the car.
After getting into the car, the smile on Du Shi's face disappeared inch by inch, she watched Huo Shifang's car drive out through the window, frowned and didn't know what to think, and whispered to the driver: "Go back to Yiyuan Villa." β
The car started slowly.
Dusch pulled his phone out of his bag. called Zhou Youning and told her about Huo Shifang's cousin at that time.
Zhou Youning said after a general understanding: "Yes, I can meet when I have time, but if I think I will lose money, I may refuse directly." β
Du Shi said disapprerovingly: "Of course, anyway, I think this is just a pretense for him to come out for dinner, the daughter of the Huo family lacks connections and resources?" she muttered, "I think there is something wrong with this person??"
Zhou Youning didn't know what she was talking about, "Why don't you be more specific?"
"He's either purposefully testing me for something, or is it??" Dusch didn't go on.
Zhou Youning patiently followed the temptation: "Either it??" οΌβ
Dusch paused and said, "He wants to seduce me." β
Her voice was drowned out by the crackling sound of the rain falling on the roof of the car.
Soon the rain trickled down the car window, and the lights on the side of the road became unreal under the blur of the rain.
Zhou Youning was stunned for a moment over there, and couldn't stop laughing.
Du Shi thought about Huo Shifang's words to her, and was a little angry, holding the earpiece and lowering his voice and saying angrily: "Dirty man! Asking a married woman about getting along with her husband after marriage is what a normal single man with brains should do?"
The car drove to the intersection of the traffic light, suddenly stopped, Du Shi's body leaned forward violently due to inertia, and then leaned back on the seat, she frowned and looked at the driver, and was stunned.
The familiar side face slowly turned to face her, and the thin lips were raised: "What did he ask you?"
Du Shi opened his lips and watched him not make a sound for a long time, quietly hanging up the phone that was on the phone.
Du Shi clasped his hands and looked around the carriage, looking puzzled. Knowingly, he asked, "This seems to be the car I went out in, right?"
Meng Yankai didn't answer and asked, "Why didn't you tell me when you met him?"
Du Shi stepped forward, grabbed the front car seat with his hand, put his head between the two seats, smiled brightly, and said in a sweet and soft tone: "Why do you want to tell you? If you have to ask for a reason, didn't I already tell you when I spread WeChat?"
The rain was pouring down, the wipers kept wiping, and just after the glass was wiped clean, the rain continued to gather into a new water curtain, blurring the vision.
Meng Yankai snorted coldly: "It's out." β
Dusch put his face behind his hand and asked him, "What about you, what are you doing there?"
Meng Yankai turned his face back: "What else can you do?" Of course eat." β
Dusch approached: "With whom?"
"You??" Meng Yankai pressed his eyebrows and turned his face, the tips of the two noses were rubbed, and his words were pressed back into his throat.
Snorting and blending, Du Shi looked at him unexpectedly, his lips opened slightly, his eyelashes moved, he blinked uneasily, immediately sat back in his place, looked in front of him, and reminded him in a low voice: "It's a green light." β
Meng Yankai was silent. I started the car in silence, and there was basically nothing to say on the road.
Dusch reached out to wipe the fog from the car window and looked out through the blurred glass.
The sky seems to have been dug into a hole, and the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it is raining sparks with lightning, lightning splitting the sky, and deafening thunder is coming, and there is a sense of science fiction that the city is about to be overturned.
As soon as the car drove into the villa area, a thunderbolt fell, and the lights on the side of the road were instantly extinguished.
There was a power outage.
The garage door won't open. Meng Yankai parked the car in the yard, looked at the rain pouring outside, and handed the blazer placed in the co-pilot to Du Shi, her arm was in a plaster cast, and she couldn't get wet.
"Cover your hands. After saying that, let her wait.
Meng Yan pushed the car door down, went to the trunk to get an umbrella, and then opened the back seat door to let her out.
Dusch looked at his feet, which were a pair of burgundy patent leather pointed toes and thin heels, with a crystal diamond chain on the instep. I was embarrassed and said, "The shoes are new, they don't have a bottom, and they can't get wet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his hand was stuffed into the handle of the umbrella.
Du Shi took it with a smile, Meng Yan opened his hand and stuffed it into the crook of her feet and lower back, leaned over and hugged her horizontally easily.
Du Shi pinched the handle of the umbrella with one hand, but the strong wind and rain swept the umbrella to the ground, and the rain beckoned to the two of them.
Meng Yankai held her to speed up, steadily ascended the steps, and passed through the courtyard, Du Shi's body was thrown in his arms, the rain covered her face, she closed her eyes tightly, and urged with laughter: "Hurry up, hurry up, the rain is in?"
When they entered the house, almost all of them were wet except for Dusch's hands.
Meng Yankai put her down and took off the suit covering her hand, and there was a lot of water in the recesses of the fabric of her clothes.
Dusch's satin dress clings to his body, shining white with lightning. Meng Yankai could see her appearance clearly, and the curves under the black polarized fabric were exposed.
Meng Yankai's eyes darkened and darkened, Du Shi was taking his feet out of his shoes, and he asked, "The clothes are also new?"
She replied with a casual "um".
"New dress, new shoes??" Meng Yankai laughed timidly, "Have dinner with Huo Shi?"
Du Shi finally found something wrong, she raised her face, her eyes were dark, and her eyes were full of smiles: "What's the matter? Every time I eat with you, it's also a new dress, I just received this pair of shoes not long ago, which matches today's clothes." β
Dusch looked down at his shoes and asked him, "Do you think they look good?"
Meng Yankai stared at her, and his tone was slow and methodical: "Do you think I should say that I look good or not?"
Because of his backlight, even if the lightning illuminates the rainy night, she can't see his expression clearly.
Du Shi put his hand on his chest and smiled softly, "Of course women like to listen to good things." β
"So you go to dinner with other men, and you want me to compliment you on how well you dress?"
Du Shi took off his high heels and was much shorter than him, and Meng Yankai whispered, constantly lowering the height of his head to meet her.
Dusch stepped back, and he grabbed him by the waist.
"Aren't you asking for too much?" he breathed as he stopped at her lips.
Du Shi smiled and stretched out his hand to pat him: "Are you jealous?"
The hand was suddenly pressed, Du Shi's hand against his chest could not be withdrawn, he was wearing an almost soaked shirt, through the thin fabric, she felt the heart beating strongly in the chest, the hard texture, the body temperature was burning, her palm was hot and itchy.
"Men are a little bit possessive, you know?"
"Oh??"
He laughed dumbly and asked, "Oh what?"
"It's literal, it means I know. "He's getting closer. Du Shi knew that she could put an end to this seductive detachment by approaching half a finger distance, but she didn't move.
Meng Yankai decided to give himself a good time, and was about to paste it, when there was a sudden sound of the door opening near the restaurant.
Aunt Fang found the candles and prepared to put them in an easily visible place for them to spare.
Du Shi puffed out his cheeks and poked his chest, Meng Yankai let go of her, and the two went in.
When Aunt Fang saw that they were back, she lit a candle and gave it to them.
Meng Yankai took a candle to light the way, and Du Shi followed him upstairs, she said, "The clothes are soaked, so cold." β
After entering the bedroom, he went into the cloakroom to change clothes, and Meng Yankai also took off his clothes and put on a bathrobe on his body.
The two didn't speak, and wisps of atmosphere lingered in the air.
Du Shi went to the bathroom to find a dry bath towel to wipe her hair, and she stood by the bathtub without moving, feeling the footsteps approaching behind her, and the smell of his body gradually enveloped her.
He wrapped his big palm around her hand that was rubbing the bath towel above her head, and Dusch's fingertips trembled. It was as if the tip of my heart was trembling lightly.
