Chapter 279: This breath must be returned
Dongning City, in the president's office building of the Shen Group.
In the afternoon, Shen Tingnan's life was not easy at all, and he didn't even have an appetite for lunch, so he just ate a few bites casually and asked the secretary to leave.
Obviously, now that Li Wanwan is unwilling to break up with him, Li Jiangxiong and his wife will definitely protect their baby daughter.
If he insists on going his own way, not to mention that the project he is currently cooperating with the Li family will not be guaranteed, and the two projects of the Shen family invested by Li Jiangxiong, he will definitely withdraw the funds.
In fact, drawing a clear line with the Li family and not communicating with each other again will not cause much damage to Shen Tingnan and the Shen family, and he can completely deal with it.
What he was afraid of was that Li Jiangxiong would spare all his financial, material and human resources to suppress him and the Shen family for the sake of Li Wanwan.
After all, Li Jiangxiong is a bigwig in the domestic business circle, and he has been in the business circle for most of his life, so no one can give him some face.
But the matter between him and Li Wanwan has been tossed back and forth for half a year, and he doesn't want to, and he can't continue to drag it on.
If Li Jiangxiong really wants to suppress Li Wanwan for him, then he can only accept it.
After suffering all afternoon, it was finally six o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Tingnan set off to the agreed hotel to meet the Li family.
"You're here. When he arrived at the hotel, Li Wanwan was waiting for him in the lobby of the hotel, and when he saw him enter the lobby, he got up and walked over, and greeted Shen Tingnan very calmly.
Shen Tingnan looked at her, nodded, and asked lightly, "What about Uncle Li and Aunt Li?"
"Rest upstairs, we'll come down after a while, let's go up first." With that, Li Wanwan went to grab Shen Tingnan's arm.
Shen Tingnan looked at the hand she held her arm, and her handsome eyebrows twisted slightly, but she didn't pull her arm away in the end.
After all, in front of the public, it is still necessary to give Li Wanwan some face.
Moreover, how does he think that Li Wanwan today is not quite right, her expression is too quiet, or too calm, not like the usual Li Wanwan at all.
"Okay, go up first. At this time, Shen Tingnan didn't want to bother to guess anything, so he just lightly took Li Wanwan and walked towards the elevator.
"Wanwan, you should know what I'm here for this meal today?" After they arrived at the box and the waiters all retreated, Shen Tingnan looked at Li Wanwan and said in a deep voice.
Li Wanwan glanced at him, didn't speak, sat down directly, picked up the juice, and drank it slowly, her eyes flickered a little, and she didn't look at Shen Tingnan at all.
Looking at him, faintly, Shen Tingnan sighed, also sat down beside her, looked at her and said, "Wanwan, we can be friends, isn't it good?"
"Shen Tingnan, I said, I won't break up with you. Finally, Li Wanwan couldn't hold it back, put down the juice and glared at Shen Tingnan and roared out, "I told you the first time I saw you, I want to sleep with you, my purpose for approaching you is very clear, you have promised to be with me several times, and you have proposed to break up several times, what are you when I am Li Wanwan, is it a dress, wear it if you like it, throw it away if you don't like it, and change it to a new one?"
Looking at Li Wanwan, Shen Tingnan's eyebrows couldn't help but tremble.
He didn't expect that after so many days, Li Wanwan didn't figure it out at all, but insisted even more, and helplessly, he lowered his head, "Wanwan, I'm sorry, I can't make myself like you." ”
"I don't care if you like me or not, I like you anyway. At this moment, Li Wanwan's domineering and unruly habits were undoubtedly revealed, and she looked at Shen Tingnan and continued to yell and shout, "Shen Tingnan, let me tell you, I am pregnant, even if you don't want to marry me, you have to marry me." ”
- I'm pregnant, even if you don't want to marry me, you have to marry me.
Li Wanwan's words were like a depth charge, which exploded in Shen Tingnan's mind in an instant, blowing him up completely.
Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at Li Wanwan in front of him, his face full of shock.
How so?
How could Li Wanwan get pregnant?
Could it be that just because the night he was drunk, the two of them slept together, and Li Wanwan became pregnant?
However, that night, if he really did something to Li Wanwan, how could he not be impressed at all.
"Child....... The child is mine?" After being stunned for four or five seconds, Shen Tingnan finally came back to his senses and asked.
Li Wanwan looked at him, and finally couldn't stand it, staggered her gaze, and said firmly, "Who else would it be if it wasn't yours, Shen Tingnan, do you still want to cheat?"
- his?!The child is his?!
Shen Tingnan's brows tightened, "I was drunk that night, and we ......."
"That's right, that's that night!" Without waiting for Shen Tingnan to finish speaking, Li Wanwan directly interrupted him, and said with certainty, "Although I took the initiative that night, the child is definitely yours." ”
Looking at her red lips and listening to her words of affirmation, Shen Tingnan only felt that the dark clouds were pressing down and the storm was coming.
"Wanwan, I don't have any impression of what happened that night, if we ......."
"Shen Tingnan, don't you want to admit it, don't you even want me and the child together?" glared at Shen Tingnan, and again, Li Wanwan interrupted him and questioned him angrily, and the tears in his eyes suddenly fell.
At this moment, the door .......of the private room was pushed open from the outside, and Li Jiangxiong and his wife walked in together.
"Wanwan, what's going on?" Seeing her daughter glaring at Shen Tingnan with tears in her eyes, Mrs. Li immediately strode over and asked eagerly.
"Listen to Nan, what's going on?" Li Jiangxiong also followed, looked at the two of them and asked.
"Uncle Li, Aunt Li. Shen Tingnan reacted, pushed away the dining chair and stood up, and greeted Li Jiangxiong and his wife politely.
"Dad, Mom!" With teary eyes and a face full of grievances, Li Wanwan threw herself into Mrs. Li's arms.
"Wanwan, listen to Nan, what's going on?" Holding her daughter, Mrs. Li asked anxiously and distressedly.
Shen Tingnan looked at them, frowned and thought for a while, but still decided, "Uncle Li, you, Aunt Li, I know that Wanwan is pregnant, but this child is ......."
"Shen Tingnan, this child is yours, you dare not marry me. Again, before Shen Tingnan's words were finished, Li Wanwan interrupted him with a shout.
Li Jiangxiong and his wife looked at the two of them, and now they finally understood what was going on.
Obviously, the two of them already knew about Li Wanwan's pregnancy, but they never expected that Shen Tingnan took the initiative to ask them for this meal in order to break up with Li Wanwan.
Suddenly, Li Jiangxiong's face sank, Mrs. Li's brows also frowned, and her face became not very good-looking.
"Tingnan, what's wrong with you, are you planning to break up with Wanwan again?" Sinking in his breath, Li Jiangxiong didn't get angry, just looked at Shen Tingnan, and tried to ask him calmly.
Shen Tingnan also looked at Li Jiangxiong, took a deep breath, nodded without changing his face, and said, "Uncle Li, I am really not suitable for Wanwan, Wanwan and I have done a good job during this time, but I just can't like Wanwan, I can't treat her as my future wife, these are my problems, it's not my good." ”
"What about the child, it's not just your personal problem now, you have a child, do you still want to break up like you played at home, just say break up?" Mrs. Li died in a hurry, and as soon as Shen Tingnan's voice fell, she questioned him angrily, and said, "Let me tell you, Tingnan, Wanwan's child must be born." ”
Li Wanwan is the only daughter of their Li family, and the only thing they are looking forward to now is that Li Wanwan can get married and have children as soon as possible, and continue the incense for their Li family.
"Child ......." looked at Mrs. Li and Li Wanwan, Shen Tingnan's brows were almost twisted into the word "Chuan", "If the child is really mine, I will definitely be responsible." ”
"Why, listen to Nan, listen to what you mean, do you suspect that the child in Wanwan's belly is not yours?" Suddenly, Li Jiangxiong also furrowed his brows and asked with a majestic expression.
"Uncle Li, Aunt Li, I was drunk before I went on a business trip, and I did wake up to find Wanwan by my side, but I ....... that night"
"Shen Tingnan, the child is yours. Again, Li Wanwan insisted.
"Shen Tingnan, is it possible that our Li family will wronged you and insist on planting a child who is not you on your head?" Holding Li Wanwan, Mrs. Li said angrily.
Looking at Li Wanwan and Mrs. Li, Shen Tingnan opened his mouth, but he couldn't refute it.
"Tingnan, what do you mean, Wanwan and the child, do you want it or not?" Seeing that Shen Tingnan actually suspected that the child was not his, Li Jiangxiong was also a little annoyed.
"Uncle Li, Aunt Li, if the child is mine, I will definitely be responsible,......." Saying, Shen Tingnan hesitated, then glanced at Li Wanwan, "I will also marry Wanwan." ”
"Shen Tingnan, you just suspect that the child is not yours, right, you just don't want to marry me anyway, right?" Seeing Shen Tingnan's attitude, Li Wanwan asked angrily.
"Listen to Nan, now the matter between you and Wanwan is already well known, you don't want to marry Wanwan, and you don't want children, you want to embarrass our Li family. Mrs. Li felt sorry for her daughter, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she directly released cruel words, "We Wanwan are not easy to bully, and our Li family is not easy to bully. ”
"Uncle Li, Aunt Li, if the child is really mine, I will definitely be responsible, and I will marry Wanwan, but if it is not mine, I hope that my uncle and aunt can understand. Listening to Mrs. Li's words, Shen Tingnan became more and more determined.
"Listen to what you mean, you just don't want to marry Wanwan!" Li Jiangxiong sighed deeply and waved his hand, "That's it, even if you marry Wanwan for the sake of the child, Wanwan will not be happy, but, listen to Nan, you have gone back on your word several times, deceived and wasted the resources and feelings of Wanwan and our Li family, I won't settle this account with you." ”
"Since Uncle Li thinks so, then I have nothing to say. Shen Tingnan twisted his eyebrows fiercely and lowered his head, "I still say the same thing, if the child is really mine, I will definitely be responsible to the end, if not, then I will never take the blame." ”
"Shen Tingnan, why are you doing this to me?" Glaring at Shen Tingnan, Li Wanwan had no weak heart, only anger.
"Uncle, aunt, I'm sorry, this meal, I'm afraid there is no need to eat it together, you use it slowly, I'll go first." Glancing at Li Wanwan, the words fell, Shen Tingnan directly raised his legs and strode away.
"Shen Tingnan!" Seeing Shen Tingnan leave their family like this, Li Wanwan shouted anxiously.
"What is it called, you are still not my daughter Li Jiangxiong, do you have a little dignity. With a dull face, Li Jiangxiong swept at Li Wanwan and scolded.
"Dad, Mom. Looking at her parents, Li Wanwan was sad and aggrieved.
Could it be that she is really so bad, and Shen Tingnan doesn't like her so much?
"Okay, don't cry, I want to see how long this Shen Tingnan can be tough. Mrs. Li wiped the tears on Li Wanwan's face and comforted her.
Looking at Li Wanwan, Li Jiangxiong took a deep breath, "Don't worry, I will definitely get this breath back." ”
..............
Leaving the hotel and getting into the car, Shen Tingnan did not let the driver go home, but went to the company again.
After the showdown, to make it clear, all the words that had been suppressed in his heart in the past few months were spit out, and Li Jiangxiong's attitude was clear, but Shen Tingnan suddenly relaxed.
Although the words of Li Jiangxiong and his wife have been said very clearly, at this moment, Shen Tingnan has no fear at all, and there is only incomparable clarity and firmness.
After all these years of crawling in the shopping mall, he is no longer the fledgling hairy young man, he doesn't know anything, he doesn't understand anything, even if he is not as good as the Li family in terms of financial and material resources, he can always fight with the Li family.
What's more, now, Shen Tingnan's heart is already looking at death as home.
It's a big deal, a failure, start again, anyway, Shen Molin has also grown up, she can work and make money by herself, and live a good life.
Therefore, he is not afraid, at this moment, Shen Tingnan is not afraid at all, but is exceptionally clear.
However, just because he is not afraid does not mean that he will sit still.
Therefore, now, he will go back to the company and take all kinds of preventive measures, lest he will be caught off guard when Li Jiangxiong really starts to make trouble.
On the way back to the company, his mobile phone rang, and when he saw it, it was the unfamiliar number that he called at noon today, knowing that it was Shen Molin, he hurriedly answered the phone.
"Brother. As soon as the phone was connected, Shen Molin's extremely cheerful voice came like a silver bell.
Hearing her voice, Shen Tingnan's heavy mood seemed to be much better immediately, and he took a deep breath and asked, "Where is your mobile phone, haven't you got it back yet?"
"Huh....... Yes, the hotel said to help me express it, and I can get it tomorrow. On the other end of the phone, Shen Molin and Li Hedong were sitting in a small restaurant together, just after dinner, when they were talking to Shen Tingnan on the phone, a pair of bright eyes looked at Li Hedong sitting beside him for a moment, and asked with a smile, "Brother, have you had dinner?"
"Nope. Shen Tingnan approached the back of the chair, closed his eyes, raised his hand and pressed his somewhat tired eyebrows, "You have fun, don't worry about me, just call me twice a day to report my safety." ”
On the other end of the phone, Shen Molin listened, thought of something, and asked again, "Brother, you and Li Wanwan .......?"
"It's all said, you don't have to worry about my business, since you're going to play, just have fun. Without waiting for Shen Molin to finish speaking, Shen Tingnan directly interrupted her.
He didn't want to see Shen Molin unhappy, especially for him and for the company's sake.
"Hmm. Shen Molin nodded, looked at Li Hedong sitting beside her, thought about it and said, "Brother, if I ......."
Halfway through, though, she hesitated again.
"What?"
"Hee-hee....... Nothing! Brother, you must not have eaten, hurry up and eat, don't go hungry and have stomach problems. Shen Molin decided to go back and tell Shen Tingnan about her and Li Hedong in person.
"Good. Shen Tingnan nodded, and then admonished, "Be careful outside, call me immediately if you have something." ”
"Got it, it's really long-winded, hang up. When the words fell, Shen Molin hung up the phone directly.
"I'm afraid your brother will object to us being together?" Seeing Shen Molin hang up the phone, Li Hedong reached out, and the warm thumb and fingertips couldn't have been gentler at the corner of her mouth, wiping off the shallow oil stains on the corner of her mouth for her.
Shen Molin looked at him and shook her head vigorously, "My brother won't object, as long as I like it, my brother will definitely like it." ”
"Hmm. Li Hedong nodded and smiled, "Let's go back to the hospital! ”
As he spoke, he had already stood up, hunched his back to carry Shen Molin.
"Hmm~~" Shen Molin hurriedly shook her head, "No, I'll be fine for a long time, go by myself." ”
As soon as the words fell, she jumped briskly and walked out of the restaurant.
Li Hedong looked at her cheerful figure, raised his lips and smiled, took the things, and immediately followed.
..............
Back at the hospital, Li Hedong fetched hot water and washed Shen Molin's feet.
In a small-town hospital with poor conditions, or more precisely, a small-town clinic, it is impossible to take a bath or take a bath, so two people can only stay for one night.
"Sleepy or not, go to bed early!" After Shen Molin finished soaking her feet, Li Hedong went to pour water and came back, and saw her dangling by the bed with her bare feet, like a child, and couldn't help but smile and go over to get a towel to wipe her feet.
When Shen Molin saw it, she hurriedly avoided it, "I'll come by myself." ”
Li Hedong was about to wipe her feet just now, but she didn't let her, so she wanted to come by herself.
However, this time, Li Hedong didn't listen again, grabbed the soles of her feet with his big palm, squatted in front of her, wiped her feet seriously, and said with a smile while wiping, "I said I came here just now, but I didn't wipe it." ”
"......." looked down at him, and before she knew it, Shen Molin's cheeks were red again.
From childhood to now, only when her parents are still alive, she has been so spoiled and careful to wipe her feet, Li Hedong is the first person to wipe her feet besides her parents.
"Alright, lie down. With her feet dry, Li Hedong gently put her feet on the bed, and then pulled the quilt on the side and covered her.
"Where are you sleeping?" Looking up at him, Shen Molin hurriedly asked again.
"I'll pay some money and sleep in the bed next door. Li Hedong put away the towel that Shen Molin used to wipe her feet, went to help her put the pillow well, replied with the corners of his lips crooked, and said, "Okay, sleep!"
Shen Molin shook her head and held his strong arm with both hands, "Then you go and tell the nurse quickly, I'll wait for you." ”
Standing in front of the hospital bed, looking at the girl who was almost close to herself, flashing with such clear big eyes and full of concern for herself, Li Hedong smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll be back soon." ”
"Hmm. Shen Molin nodded and let go of his arm, "Go ahead." ”
Li Hedong hooked his lips and smiled, and then strode out.
After a while, he came back with a quilt and put it on the bed next door, looking at Shen Molin, who was still shining with big clear eyes, and all eyes were glued to him for a moment, he went over and gently rubbed the top of her hair, "Okay, sleep!"
Shen Molin shook her head, "I don't want to sleep at all, you can chat with me for a while!"
As she spoke, she shifted her ass to make room, and then patted her side.
Li Hedong smiled, sat down, leaned into the head of the bed, and then reached out and hugged Shen Molin into his arm, allowing her to lean comfortably on his body.
Suddenly being hugged like this, Shen Molin's heartbeat missed a beat almost immediately.
She took the initiative to move Li Hedong's position, but she didn't let him hold her.
At this moment, she was attached to his arms, half of her little face was pillowed on his chest, in the quiet ward, she could even hear the sound of his heartbeat very clearly, all at once, so strong and powerful, this feeling, really good, very wonderful, made Shen Molin's already crimson cheeks even redder in an instant.
"What do you want to talk about?" hugging Shen Molin, Li Hedong pulled the quilt, covered her, and asked her in a low and soft voice.
It's summer, but it's cool at night in the mountains.
SHEN MOLIN LOOKED UP AT HIM, THE TWO OF THEM WERE SO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER, THEY COULD ALMOST SMELL THEIR BREATHING, AND ASKED WITH A RED FACE, "WHY WOULD YOU THINK OF COMING HERE, IF IT WEREN'T FOR ME CHASING YOU TO THE DEATH AND SEEING THE NEWS YOU POSTED ON FACEBOOK, NO ONE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT YOU ACTUALLY CAME TO TEACH IN THIS BIG MOUNTAINOUS AREA." ”
Li Hedong looked at her, smiled, and replied simply, "My hometown is in Yunnan. ”
Looking at him, Shen Molin couldn't help but be stunned, "How did I hear that you are an orphan?!"
Li Hedong nodded, "Yes, I am indeed an orphan, my parents died very early, my grandmother raised me, and then when I was seventeen years old, my grandmother also left." ”
Looking at him, Shen Molin couldn't help frowning, "That'....... Don't you have any other relatives?"
Li Hedong nodded, "Yes, there is an uncle and an uncle, but after my parents passed away, they never cared about the life and death of my grandmother and me, so when I went abroad, I completely cut off contact with them." ”
"Your uncle and your uncle are so ruthless. Shen Molin's eyebrows were furrowed, she never expected that Li Hedong's life experience was so much more bitter than she originally knew.
Looking at the girl in his arms, Li Hedong hooked his lips and smiled lightly, not impressed.
He had put these things down many years ago, but whenever he had the chance, he would come back to pay respects to his parents and grandparents, but he never had contact with his uncles again.
"So, did you think about coming here to teach from the beginning?" Shen Molin asked again.
Li Hedong shook his head, "No, at the beginning, I just came back to pay respects to my relatives, and I didn't think about where I was going to go in the future. ”
Shen Molin nodded, and unconsciously, she hugged him with both hands, and the whole person was closer to his arms, and then continued to talk to him about other things.
Perhaps, I was excited for most of the day today and tired, or perhaps, Li Hedong's arms were too warm and comfortable, leaning on his arms, the two of them chatted and chatted, and fell asleep unconsciously.
Looking at the little girl who hugged him and slept in his arms, Li Hedong's eyes overflowed with tenderness and indulgence that he had never had.
Bowing his head, he kissed her forehead, and then, carefully holding her, letting her lie down, and pinching the corners of the quilt for her.
Just sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her quietly, looking at the shallow curvature of the corners of her lips, sleeping extra peacefully and sweetly, Li Hedong couldn't help it, leaned down, and gently dropped a kiss on her red lips, then got up and turned off the light, and then went to lie down on the bed next door.
