042. The Targeted
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Jing was startled by his sudden movements, she had just lost one of her shoes in the pool, and now she was taking a step and slipping a step, and she was dragged indoors by him.
Entering the room, he slammed the door with his backhand.
"Whatever else you have on your agenda today, I'm going home, now!"
Jiang Jing said fiercely, turned around and was about to leave, but he clamped his wrist tightly.
"Please let go, your current behavior is enough to ruin the two of us ......"
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a tightness in her waist, and the whole person was directly taken into his arms.
Her mind exploded.
"Mr. Guan, please let go!"
Jiang Jing stretched out his hand to push him, but he hugged her tighter, his big hand domineeringly wrapped around her waist, resting his chin on the top of her head, and pressed her hard against his chest.
She was a little confused, struggling uneasily in his arms, but suddenly heard him ask in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
"I'm so good!"
Jiang Jing replied quickly, with all his strength, and pushed him away.
He subconsciously took a few steps back, and wanted to attack him fiercely, but he saw him take a few steps back and sit listlessly on the bed.
His eyelashes drooped, and he exuded a strange low air pressure.
She wanted to come forward to ask, but she was afraid that he would do something out of the ordinary again, so she hesitated for a few seconds, and finally opened the door and turned to leave.
"Don't go. ”
Guan Zhinian ordered coldly behind her.
"You rest early. ”
She replied coldly.
Guan Zhinian didn't answer again, just let out a light snort.
She took a deep breath, collected her emotions, and walked out of the room.
There was a loud smashing sound behind him, and Guan Zhinian dropped everything he could, smashed the LCD TV, and the glass coffee table.
When she looked back, the room was in shambles.
Guan Zhinian turned his back to the door, with one hand on his waist and the other on his forehead, and the whole person gasped violently, like a wounded beast.
I don't know what kind of nerves he is having, she only knows that this is his private matter, and it has nothing to do with her work or her divorce lawsuit.
She shouldn't have meddled, and she couldn't afford to.
The people outside were stunned by the loud noise in Guan Zhinian's room, and the host just now trotted in to find him, and met Jiang Jing who was hurrying out with a red face.
"Miss Jiang, what happened?"
Jiang Jing didn't know what the situation was, and now her mind was a mess of porridge, and she left without saying a word.
She took a taxi on the side of the road, because she looked too embarrassed, she couldn't go home directly to worry Li Jiu and Guoguo, knowing that she went to the clothing store she frequented, bought a new set of clothes, spread her wet hair, and wandered around the pedestrian street outside for a long time before she was ready to go home.
The mobile phone rang suddenly, and she glanced at it to show that it was Fu Xinran, who had not been in contact for a long time.
"Seniors. She picked up the phone quickly.
"Xiao Jiang, I haven't been in touch for a long time, how are you?" Fu Xinran's warm and jade-like voice came, inexplicably with some soothing effect.
She sighed faintly, sat down on a bench on the side of the street, exhausted, and nodded silently.
"I'm fine. ”
"Did he cooperate with you well? He personally promised me not to cause you trouble. ”
"Well, there is. ”
Jiang Jing's voice was a little hoarse, and Fu Xinran quickly heard that something was wrong.
"What's wrong, little ginger, what's going on??, the forensics process didn't go well?" he asked quickly.
"No, I'm fine. Jiang Jing whispered and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Senior, I heard that you went abroad, when will you come back, I will go to pick you up." ”
"I'm just going to be there for the next two days! Fu Xinran said softly, then paused, and said: "My father is the royal lawyer of Master Guan, he went to the Guan family today to redraft the will, he must be in a bad mood in the new year, I want to call you and comfort him." ”
"You...... How do you know he's going to be in a bad mood?"
Jiang Jing asked hesitantly.
"I told you, Zhinian is just like that, he has been treated unfairly since he was a child, and he no longer trusts anyone in his heart, he goes home on this kind of day, and no one gives him a good look, he is nothing on the surface, and his heart is uncomfortable. ”
Fu Xinran said, sighing helplessly, "These things, it's a long story, in previous years, I accompanied him to drink two glasses, and listened to him vent a few words, even if it was over, now that I'm not here, I'm still a little worried about him." ”
Jiang Jing lowered her eyelids, looked at the tips of her shoes, and did not answer.
"Anyway, forgive him today, he's had a hard time. When I come back, I'll talk to you about it, and you'll understand. ”
Fu Xinran enlightened her a few more words, and was about to hang up the phone, when she suddenly remembered something and stopped him.
"Senior, I, I happened to hear him say something about a murderer, do you know, what's going on?"
Last time, she was lying at Guan Zhinian's house with a fever, and she wanted to get up to find the bathroom, but she overheard his conversation with Dr. Liu.
She wasn't interested in anything unrelated to the lawsuit in the first place, so she didn't think to ask.
But today's Guan Zhinian's behavior is so abnormal that she has the feeling that she can't continue this job.
She was suddenly a little afraid of him.
“...... I shouldn't have told you about these things, but now that you've heard it, it's okay for me to tell you. ”
Fu Xinran sighed and said: "Actually, he is the third child of the Guan family, and the second child is also a boy, three years older than him, he has been polite and excellent since he was a child, and he learns things quickly, and I am fortunate to have met him." ”
Later, the family went on vacation, and when they were playing in the water by the lake, they accidentally fell into the water. ”
At that time, the adults were not in front of him, Guan Jingli couldn't swim, and seeing that the year was about to sink, he jumped down without hesitation. ”
Jiang Jing listened, her ears buzzed, and her heart suddenly panicked.
"And then?" she asked, in a hoarse voice.
Then, the best second young master of the Guan family drowned, and the old lady of the Guan family died of a heart attack in a hurry, and became the target of public criticism at a young age. It wasn't until I finished college that I was called back. ”
Jiang Jing listened, feeling a little uncomfortable, thinking about his crazy collapse just now, and suddenly felt like a bad person with a great crime.
"I see, senpai. I've got something to do right now, message me before you come back and I'll pick you up. ”
She hung up the phone in a hurry, got up and rushed to the side of the road to get a taxi.
She returned to the party site where Guan Zhinian took her, and everyone had dispersed, leaving only a few waiters there to clean the venue.
took out his mobile phone to call him, and it was all turned off.
She went to look for him in the suite just now, but found that the door was closed and there was no movement inside.
"Anyone?"
She knocked on the door, but no one paid any attention to her.
Standing in the doorway, she drooped her shoulders a little dejectedly.
She has always felt that she should take care of her own affairs, don't interfere with others, don't ask, don't pay attention, as long as she concentrates on herself, it is the best and safest state.
However, looking back now, I really don't look like a person, like an emotionless work machine.
doesn't care about people, doesn't accept care, always keeps a distance from people she thinks is safe, her world is always black and white, full of right and wrong, just like a lawsuit, either win or lose.
So much so that when she was kicked out of the office, no one stood up to say goodbye to her.
She was never a nostalgic presence.
Because she has no feelings and no heart, she has not given real feelings to others, and naturally no one will be willing to have a heart to heart with her.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little sad.
As soon as your nose is sore, you will cry uncontrollably.
Trembling and taking a deep breath, she simply threw down her bag and sat down on the ground.
Jiang Jing felt so tired, wanted to rest, and wanted to cry.
She didn't know how long she had been sitting before she heard the door open next to her, and she turned her head to face a red wine bottle.
Guan Zhinian seemed to have drunk a lot, and was leaning crookedly on the door frame to look down at her.
"Yo, who's this?"
She scrambled to her feet and opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
"What are you going to do when you come back, you're afraid that I'll mess up?
Guan Zhiqing laughed, raised the wine bottle and poured himself another sip of wine, and then smiled self-deprecatingly at her.
"Don't worry, I'm not in the mood to play with women today, and after drinking this, I'll go to sleep. ”
After speaking, he waved his hand at her, "You go, Xiao Budian is still waiting for you at home." ”
"Let's drink somewhere else, I'm in for a treat. ”
Jiang Jing snatched the wine bottle in his hand, pushed the door into the room, found his mobile phone and wallet, and pulled him to leave.
He didn't listen, he stood crookedly in place, looking at her with a faint gaze.
"What, you're not afraid of accidents?"
"I'm a lawyer, and I'm never dumb. She said lightly, dragged him out of the door, and closed the door with a shake of her hand.
Getting him into the car, she deftly started the car, kicked the accelerator, and merged into the traffic.
Guan Zhinian sat in the co-pilot, there was no sound at all, she thought he was asleep, but when she turned her head, he had big black eyes open, staring ahead for a moment.
Passing by a convenience store, she parked her car, went to buy a lot of beers and snacks, and bought a lot of snacks along the way, and drove all the way to the north, and after more than 30 minutes, the car stopped at the entrance of a riverside park.
"I'll introduce you to a great place to drink. ”
Jiang Jing said, carrying large bags of things, and helped him open the car door and motioned for him to get out of the car.
Guan Zhinian raised his eyes and glanced at her, got down from the co-pilot, twisted his eyebrows and looked at the small broken park in front of him, with displeasure written on his face.
In the square in front, there are many uncles and aunts who dance square dances, bringing their own audio equipment, and gathering together in waves, some dancing elderly disco, some dancing ghost step dances, and male and female pas de deux.
Jiang Jing found an excellent position: facing the river in the back and watching the dance in front.
Guan Zhinian's strength has not yet passed, and at this time, he bypassed those selfless uncles and aunts with a disgusted face, and staggered down next to her.
"That's it?"
"It's my family's only reward. Jiang Jing opened a can of beer and handed it to him, and opened another can for herself, "In the past, when I was hit, when I was in a bad mood, I came here to watch them dance, listen to their chatter, blow the evening breeze, and look at the night scene, and I had no worries." ”
Guan Zhinian turned his head to look at the black rumbling river, and rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"If you go to engage in pyramid schemes, I can be abducted by you. ”
As he spoke, he was about to drink the wine himself, but Jiang Jing raised his hand and patted him.
"You drink the wine I bought?"
"Hmph, I spent two million today for some reason!" Guan Zhinian glanced at her impatiently, ignoring her hand that was about to clink glasses, and raised his head to take a sip.
I don't know what kind of beer this is, it's so unpleasant.
He smacked his lips, "If you can't afford a good one, swipe my card, can you drink this thing?"
"What could not be drunk, with some side dishes, perfect. ”
Jiang Jing took a big bite of the fried chicken nuggets she bought, and then drank half a can in one go.
Guan Zhinian looked a little stunned, put down the beer, and raised his hand to stroke her head.
"You've got water in your head, Jiang Jing. ”
Who can tell him what happened, now this Jiang Jing is obviously not the one he knows!
"What, do I look abnormal?" Jiang Jing slapped his big hand away and sighed in satisfaction, "Comfortable." ”
It felt like going back to the time when she used to be here to recharge her batteries.
"If the old man is here, he must also think that you have a problem with your brain. ”
Guan Zhinian wrung his eyebrows and glanced at her, he wanted to eat something, and he disliked the fried food she bought, and wanted to drink, but this wine was too unpalatable, I really don't know how she drank it so fragrantly.
"I'm sorry. Jiang Jing smiled and watched the people in front of her dance the square dance, and said coldly.
"Huh?"
Guan Zhinian's attention was attracted by the old man dancing next to him, and he didn't even look back.
"Nothing. Jiang Jing followed his gaze and smiled, "How is it, amazing, right?"
"How old are you still jumping like this, the old man in my family can only lie on the bed and scold. Guan Zhinian sat back in a marble chair, his fingers stroking his watch, tilting his head and muttering in a low voice.
Jiang Jing grinned, raised her head and took another sip.
The evening breeze is very cool tonight, although she is very uncomfortable when she falls into the water today, she also feels refreshed and relaxed.
"No, your wine is too hard to drink, I'll find someone to send the wine," Guan Zhinian saw her eating and drinking non-stop, and he always felt uncomfortable, so he took out his mobile phone and asked a maid to send it, but found that the mobile phone screen didn't know when it was broken.
"Don't look at me, my phone is soaked in water. ”
Jiang Jing was watching the children over there skateboarding with relish, without even looking at him.
It didn't take long for her to reach the bottom of a few cans of beer, so she picked up his can, "If you don't drink it, then I'll drink it." ”
Guan Zhinian snatched it away.
"You're really in the water in your head, and you're ready to claim compensation from the person who threw you in the pool. ”
When Jiang Jing heard this, she just smiled and opened another can for herself.
"yes, that's the kind of person I am. When others scold me, they cause me mental harm; when others beat me, it is a double physical and mental injury; when others misunderstand me, they are framed and slandered; when others look at me, it is terrible, it is harassment, hahaha......"
Guan Zhinian glanced at her with disgust, thinking that she had only drunk the second can, so that she would not be drunk like this.
"What struck you?"
He asked slowly.
"No, it's just sudden...... Suddenly tired. ”
Jiang Jing tilted her head to look at him, raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you for saving me today, and besides, I'm embarrassed to leave you there alone, I'm afraid that something irreparable will happen......"
Guan Zhinian laughed speechlessly as if he had heard some joke.
"What's the matter? No matter how much I wave, there is a bottom line. Like you, you send it to the door, you are naked, I still have to think about it, understand?"
"Hmm......" Jiang Jing nodded, "I've seen all those backgammon friends of yours, and they are indeed good-looking, I understand, I understand." ”
"Good-looking is good-looking, good-looking skin, it's not at the same level as you, understand?"
Guan Zhinian was reasoning with her seriously, but suddenly felt that his arm sank, and Jiang Jing was already tilting his head and leaning on his arm in a daze, and his mouth was still vaguely fragmented.
"yes, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you, my nickname is ...... Call a bottle to pour, trouble you, send, send me home......"
Guan Zhinian: "......"
He felt that he had probably done too much.
God will punish him for the misfortune of the second half of his life.
Jiang Jing got drunk with a few bottles of beer, no wonder she usually doesn't drink at all, she always looks serious, what is the drunk driving offense, it turns out that she doesn't drink at all.
Guan Zhinian sniffed, listened to the chaotic music in the square, and the whistle of the steamer by the river, looked up at the full moon in the sky, but suddenly felt relaxed.
Since both of them were drunk and couldn't drive anymore, he asked passers-by to borrow his mobile phone to find a substitute driver, and then helped Jiang Jing, who couldn't walk steadily, to wait on the side of the road.
Jiang Jing also said that she would send her back, and when she asked her home address, she couldn't tell clearly, and it was noisy and noisy along the way, and it was annoying enough to be annoyed in the year of the pass.
Thanks to the old man's blessing, the reporters all rushed to the Guan family's old house, and at this time his door was quiet, and he found a servant to help carry her in, he was already sweating and exhausted.
"Throw her upstairs in the guest room and I'll take a shower. ”
He threw down a sentence and got on the elevator by himself, and the two servants took Jiang Jing, who was still talking nonsense, and took the elevator on the other side.
This is Mr. Guan's personal lawyer, so naturally he has to arrange the best guest room.
They settled Jiang Jing and went downstairs.
Guan Zhinian was really tired today, so he ordered someone to put hot water, and he wanted to take a bath.
The fatigue of the day finally melted away in the bathtub, and he sighed comfortably, tilted his head and closed his eyes.
"Vomit ......"
Suddenly, a retching sound sounded, and the sound of hurried footsteps came from far and near, and before he could react, his bathroom door had been pulled open.
