Chapter 69: A Chance Encounter

Baby, girlfriend, Secretary Qin?

In an instant, these three words went back and forth in Sheng Yinglai's mind, spinning and turning, strung together into a connecting rope.

Thinking of that possibility, she covered her mouth in some surprise.

"Hey, why don't you speak?" On the phone, Qin Yan was still talking.

Sheng Yinglai stared at the phone, blinked, and then hung up the phone quickly.

Lou Shengkun pushed the door and walked in at this time, straight towards Sheng Yinglai, Sheng Yinglai quickly put down the phone and pushed it back to its original position.

"Mom, I have something urgent to deal with here, you go home first, and I'll tell you more in the evening. As he spoke, he went to fetch the coat that hung on the chair.

Sheng Ying paused and responded, "Okay, you are busy with yours first." ”

Her voice was low, not quite the same as just now, Lou Shengkun put on his clothes and looked at her suspiciously.

"Anything else?" he asked.

Sheng Ying looked at him and shook his head, "No." It's nothing. ”

As she spoke, she raised her hand to arrange Lou Shengkun's collar.

"I'll leave first. Lou Shengkun went to get the mobile phone on the table, and his movements paused for a few seconds, and Sheng Yinglai's heart also twitched with his pause.

Thankfully, he quickly picked up his phone and left.

Sheng Yinglai stroked his chest and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

She took out her mobile phone, found Qin Yan's number from the address book, and hesitated.

In the apartment, Qin Yan sat alone on the sofa, looking at the mobile phone in front of him in a daze.

"Why don't you speak?" she frowned, guessing, "Could it be that I accidentally pressed it?"

She thought about it and was about to dial it again, but when her finger touched the screen, she hesitated.

Lou Shengkun was at work, but she still didn't bother him.

At this moment, Lou Shengkun and Qi Zhe hurried to the hospital.

Half an hour ago, the hospital called and said that Xu Shufen's situation had changed.

The two hurried and finally arrived at the hospital.

When I got to the door of the emergency room, I saw the doctor come out.

"Doctor Zhai, how are the people?" Qi Zhe had always been in contact with the people in the hospital, and now he took the initiative to ask.

Zhai Yongming took off his mask and handed it to the nurse behind him.

"The person was rescued, but it is still unknown when he will wake up. Zhai Yongming glanced at Lou Shengkun next to him and replied.

"What is the specific reason? How could such a dangerous situation suddenly appear?" Lou Shengkun was used to commanding people in the company, and because he was in a hurry, his tone was not particularly friendly.

"Who is this?" Zhai Yongming was not stimulated by his tone and maintained his dignity.

"I forgot to introduce, this is my boss, Mr. Lou Shengkun. Qi Zhe stood between the two and gave a brief introduction.

Zhai Yongming nodded and continued, "In the case of patient Xu Shufen, I suggest that Mr. Lou should send a bodyguard to guard it. ”

Lou Shengkun was puzzled, and was about to speak, Zhai Yongming said again, "Come with me." I'll take you to see the surveillance. ”

In the monitoring room, three people gather in front of a computer.

At 3:20 p.m., this woman was sneaking around outside Xu Shufen's hospital room. The surveillance screen paused, and Zhai Yongming pointed to a woman dressed in black and wearing a peaked cap on the screen.

Lou Shengkun looked at the woman's face and found that it was still covered with a scarf.

At twenty-two minutes, she entered Xu Shufen's hospital room, stayed in it for about five minutes, and then ran out. ”

"Fortunately, our nurse found out in time, and if it was a little later, Xu Shufen would not be able to be rescued. Zhai Yongming pointed to the nurse in the monitoring and sighed.

"Mr. Lou, we have reason to suspect that someone may be unfavorable to Xu Shufen, so ......"

"Wait. Lou Shengkun interrupted him and asked him to move forward the picture, "Yes, this is it, zoom in." ”

Lou Shengkun watched the face of the woman in black gradually enlarge, and indeed saw that the woman's face was covered with a scarf, he rubbed his chin, and vaguely remembered where he had seen this dress.

On a hot day, normal people can't wait to be able to cross the less well, how can they wrap themselves so tightly?

"Is there any problem?" Zhai Yongming asked him.

Lou Shengkun pondered for a long time, then turned his head to look at Zhai Yongming, "Doctor Zhai." Can you look at the surveillance in other places, maybe you can see this woman's face. ”

Zhai Yongming nodded, "Yes, yes, but the hospital has a large flow of people, and there are a lot of cameras in different places, which can not be found in a while." ”

"Don't worry, it's up to our people. Lou Shengkun pointed at Qi Zhe, "Assistant Qi, I'll leave it to you." ”

Qi Zhe hummed and stepped forward to communicate with Zhai Yongming.

The room was stuffy, the air was not smooth, Lou Shengkun walked out of the door and breathed for a while.

The man lowered his eyes and rubbed his brows in some distress.

The matter was correct with his guess, someone took money to Xu Shufen, made her tell a lie, and then asked her to hide, but he didn't expect Xu Shufen to be found by them.

The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and the other party chose to cut off Xu Shufen's life.

Lou Shengkun let out a long sigh, but this person was in the dark, and he was not very easy to ponder.

The only thing that is certain is that the other party is a woman.

With his mind buzzing, he shook his head, intending to go to the bathroom to relieve himself and sober up.

At the door of the bathroom, Lou Shengkun washed his hands and came out, and bumped into an acquaintance head-on.

He looked at the man and frowned, "Why are you here?"

Zhang Xianli avoided his gaze, and said with some embarrassment, "What, Zhou Zili is injured, I'll come over and take a look." ”

"Where's Qin Yan, she's alone at home?" he said coldly.

Zhang Xianli answered, and Lou Shengkun turned his head and left.

"Hey, she let me go. Zhang Xianli followed, chasing after the explanation.

Lou Shengkun didn't speak, just thinking that it was inconvenient for Qin Yan to be at home alone.

"Lou Shengkun. Zhang Xianli suddenly grabbed his arm and said sharply, "Don't talk nonsense in front of others." ”

"What are you talking about?" Lou Shengkun stopped, his eyes staring at her and clutching his hand.

Zhang Xianli withdrew her hand in embarrassment, squinted and smiled, "No, it's nothing, you are casual." ”

In Qin Yan's apartment, the man threatened her to take care of Qin Yan before leaving, otherwise he would stab her and Zhou Zili in front of her mother Luo Wenyu.

Zhang Xianli didn't know how much he knew, but no matter how much, as long as the news of her and the man reached Luo Wenyu, Zhang Xianli would probably not have a comfortable life for a long time.

At that time, she agreed, and at this time, he caught her breaking her promise, and she didn't know how he would go to Luo Wenyu to say.

Lou Shengkun understood in an instant, turned around, and looked at her with his arms crossed.

"You, Zhou Zili's business?" he raised an eyebrow. There was an indecent smile on the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry, I will tell Aunt Luo well." ”

After speaking, he walked forward without looking back.

Zhang Xianli was stunned for a while, and then remembered to scold him, "Lou Shengkun, you sinister villain!"

"You'd better not beg for help, or I'll see how I'll kill you!"

The hallway was empty, and the echoes were loud.

After Zhang Xianli finished scolding, she turned her head and saw the "No Noise" posted on the wall, she scratched her head in embarrassment, and hurriedly covered her mouth and ran to Zhou Zili's ward.

Lou Shengkun strode out of the hospital while calling Qin Yan.

He dialed it several times, and all that came from the other end was a mechanical voice.

Don't have your phone with you?, he guessed suspiciously, lowered his head and dialed it again.

Still like that, no one answered.

Lou Shengkun dialed the phone and sat in the car.

"Go to Dingcheng Apartments. He commanded.

Xiao Fan nodded, and started the car without saying a word.

The road to Dingcheng Apartment, he only walked once in the morning, and he knew how to drive without navigation.

Lou Shengkun dialed again, but still no one answered, so he simply threw away his mobile phone and leaned on the back seat to pretend to sleep.

At half past four in the afternoon, downstairs of the Dingcheng apartment.

The sun was still hanging high, and the wind was carrying the heat, shaking the hem of the pedestrians' clothes and blowing their hair.

During working hours, there are not many people on the road, and occasionally one or two people holding umbrellas pass by.

A hundred meters away from the east gate of Dingcheng Apartment, there is a dessert shop that has only opened recently.

Qin Yan doesn't like sweets very much, and this is the first time she has walked into this store.

The clerk greeted her, Qin Yan nodded slightly, and dragged his somewhat inconvenient legs inside.

Half an hour ago, she received a call from Sheng Yinglai asking her to meet.

Qin Yan didn't know why she suddenly contacted her, because of her leg injury, her first reaction was to refuse. But Sheng Yinglai was very persistent and wanted to meet.

She thought about it for a long time and agreed to meet downstairs in the apartment.

Qin Yan walked slowly, and raised his eyes to see Sheng Yinglai sitting in the corner at the end.

In private, she hardly had the opportunity to meet Sheng Yinglai alone.

This sudden meeting made me a little nervous because of my doubts.

Sheng Yinglai was wearing an off-white silk satin shirt, with a dark blue one-step skirt underneath, and her hair was slightly curly, showing a sharp temperament.

Qin Yan looked down at his floral dress and knitted jacket, feeling that it was too idle.

"Mrs. Chairman. She walked over and shouted.

Sheng Yinglai nodded slightly, noticing that she was not walking very smoothly.

"Sit down and talk. She gestured to the chair opposite.

Qin Yan pulled out the chair and sat down in a very normal posture as much as possible.

Sheng Yinglai looked at her in silence for a few seconds, and then said, "Do you know what I called you out for today?"

Qin Yan shook his head: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly." ”

"I heard you quit?"

"Hmm. Qin Yan replied, "It's been a few days. ”

"Tell me why you resigned?" Sheng Ying leaned back and forth in a chair, his hand resting on the gauze wound.

Qin Yan looked at her movements and remembered that Lou Shengkun said that she had been injured.

She withdrew her gaze, "A little bit of a private matter." ”

Sheng Yinglai nodded, this was similar to what Chu Jiaqi said.

"Because of Sheng Kun?"

Qin Yan was slightly stunned, a little surprised.

"I heard you're dating Sheng Kun?"

Sheng Yinglai threw another bomb, and Qin Yan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Could it be that Lou Shengkun has already told her?

"Did Lou Shengkun tell you?" she asked, answering in her heart.

Sheng Yinglai shook his head: "I guessed it myself." ”

"What kind of girlfriend Sheng Kun has, I don't object. She paused and said, "However, if you want to talk about marriage, forgive me for being honest." Secretary Qin, you're a little bit close. ”

She stared at Qin Yan, her gaze invisibly revealing a sense of disdain.

Qin Yan pinched the corners of her skirt, although she had long known that she would face this day, but when she was told that you were poor and that you were not qualified, her heart would still feel like being pricked by a needle.

She straightened her back, eased her emotions, and looked at Sheng Yinglai, "Aunt Sheng, have you asked Lou Shengkun's opinion?" She didn't call the chairman's wife anymore, and left Lou Sheng, in fact, there was no need for this.

"His opinion doesn't matter. Sheng Yinglai touched the ring on his ring finger and said confidently, "Lou Sheng is such a big company." He has understood his responsibilities since he was a child, and I didn't care who he fell in love with in the past few years. In my eyes, this is just a temporary pastime before he got married, just for fun, and business marriage has long been a tacit thing. ”

Hearing her say this, Qin Yan laughed a little for a while, Lou Shengkun also said that she was a reasonable mother and would not care about these opinions.

It seems that he does not know his mother well enough.

"What are you laughing at?" Sheng Yinglai said angrily.

Qin Yan didn't reply, but said, "Auntie, I have always respected you." I don't want to make us both ugly because of this. ”

"Then you will break up with Sheng Kun, as long as you two are not together, I will not come to trouble you. ”

"You just said that you wouldn't interfere with him getting a girlfriend. Qin Yan raised his eyebrows, feeling a little inexplicable.

"That was before. Sheng Yinglai retorted.

"Whether it was before, now, or in the future, I will not consider breaking up with Lou Shengkun. Qin Yan shook his head and looked at Sheng Yinglai's resolute gaze.

"Qin Yan, let me tell you, don't toast and don't eat and drink!" Sheng Yinglai raised his voice, his tone a little irritable.

"Don't think I don't know what you little girls are thinking, it's just that you want to climb to the rich, chicken dog to ascend to heaven. Sheng Yinglai's eyes were disdainful, and the more he said, the more outrageous he became, "I used to think you were an honest person, but I didn't expect to know people and faces, but I didn't know my heart, I looked quite simple on my face, but in fact, my heart was full of flowers, twists and turns, and I was thinking about how to hook a man." ”

"Have you said enough?" Qin Yan pinched the corners of her skirt, clenching it tighter and tighter, the green tendons on the back of her hand were clearly prominent, she gritted her teeth, trying her best to maintain her dignity.

"What, I'm upset when I say it?" Sheng Yinglai came closer, his eyes were not as friendly as before, and he was very different from Sheng Yinglai, who Qin Yan had been in contact with in the past.

Sharp and unrelenting.

Could it be that what Zhang Xianli said is right, Sheng Yinglai is a person, as long as you don't conflict with her, she will always be a smile on you. And once it touches her reverse scales, countless sharp thorns will be erected, stabbing at you one by one.

If the person in front of her had nothing to do with Qin Yan, then she would have gone back a long time ago.

However, Qin Yan couldn't. She is Lou Shengkun's mother, gave birth to him and raised him.

"You're wrong. She looked at Sheng Yinglai and confided word by word, "I'm with Lou Shengkun, I haven't thought about his money, although I am a child of a poor family, I also know how to write the word 'self-esteem'." From childhood to adulthood, even if the conditions were difficult, I insisted on carrying it, compared to what kind of business marriage you said, the door is right. I think it is more valuable for both parties to be emotionally attached to each other and appreciate each other. ”

"You know what?"

"I understand, I believe you understand, Auntie. Qin Yan paused for a moment and slowed down his tone, "The story of you and the chairman has always been a good story in the circle, and even Lou Shengkun said that he is your light bulb." ”

He also often said that you worked hard from scratch back then, had a difficult start, and were a husband and wife in distress, so you would not have any opinions. Qin Yan said, seeing that her face was getting heavier and heavier.

"Don't talk nonsense here, Sheng Kun won't say such things. After becoming an adult, Lou Shengkun rarely communicated with Sheng Ying anymore, and occasionally, he was always interrupted by various work calls.

"Did I talk nonsense, you can go and ask him. Qin Yan stiffened his back, like a soldier facing battle.

"On purpose, right?" Sheng Yinglai suddenly glared at her.

"Let me ask him so that he knows that I have come to you, and then provoke our mother-son relationship?"

Qin Yan sighed, "I didn't think so. ”

"I won't mention to him about meeting you today, whether you mention it or not, it's your own business. She pursed her mouth, a little dry in her throat, "I'm sorry about you breaking up with him." I still say that I won't leave him unless he proposes to break up. ”

As he spoke, Qin Yan pushed back his chair and got up.

Sheng Yinglai sneered, "Do you think he really likes you?"

Qin Yan paused to leave and waited.

"Like you, Sheng Kun has not been in contact with before. She laughed and looked up at Qin Yan's back, "For three years, I have also loved to death, and in the end, it's not like I'm going to be scattered." ”

"That woman has been with him longer than you've been with him. Which green onion do you think you count?"

"I don't know which onion I will be in his heart in the future. She turned around, her faint gaze sliding over Sheng Yinglai's body, "But I understand, at least now, at this moment, I have weight in his heart." ”

She retracted her gaze and smiled lightly, "For me, that's enough." ”

"Out of company. She nodded slightly and walked away.

Sheng Ying looked at her slightly lame back, gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "Qin Yan, you will regret it!"

With a bang, the cup on the table fell to the ground.

The clerk heard the voice and cast a strange look.

Qin Yan's eyes did not squint, his back was straight, and he walked out of the store without looking back.

She doesn't regret it, and she doesn't let herself regret it.

Out of the store, there is a fresh food supermarket across the road.

Qin Yan remembered that he was going to cook dinner for the man, and slowly paced towards the opposite side.

When she arrived at the door, as soon as she turned around, she saw Sheng Yinglai getting into the car angrily, the exhaust was arrogant, and the car drove away.

She pulled out her phone and was about to check the time, only to find that there were several missed calls.

It's all Lou Shengkun's.

She steadied herself. Dial it back.

It only took a few seconds for the other side to connect.

"Where?" the man's voice was a little urgent.

"At home. If he knew that he had sneaked down, he would definitely be angry again, so Qin Yan adhered to the principle that more is better than less, and chose to lie.

"Where are you?" Lou Shengkun snorted, as if sneering.

"A small big house, where else can you hide?" Through the mobile phone, Qin Yan seemed to be able to feel the cold atmosphere on his body.

Qin Yan listened to him rummaging through the cabinets on the opposite side, and when he thought of his strange tone, he scratched his face and said, "Are you back?"

"Tell me, where are the people?"

"......" Qin Yan knew that his lie had been exposed. I had to tell me honestly.

She waited at the door of the fresh food supermarket for about five minutes, and then saw Lou Shengkun striding towards her from across the road, the man had a black face, obviously angry.

Qin Yan tried his best to adjust his depressed mood after meeting Sheng Yinglai, and when he approached, he had a big smiling face on his back.

"It's no use laughing. Lou Shengkun frowned and didn't give face.

Qin Yan spread his hands and hugged the man's waist, his face next to his chest.

"Let me hug. ”

Let her slow down a little longer, after this time, she is still the Qin Yan who can't be defeated before.

Lou Shengkun noticed that there was something strange about her, and the black face that he was trying to maintain instantly collapsed, he stroked her hair and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Qin Yan shook his head in his arms, "It's nothing, I just want to hug you suddenly." ”

It was rare for her to be so sticky, Lou Shengkun just hugged her like this, his heart rippled slightly, he held up her chin, bowed his head, and kissed her eyebrows.

Qin Yan looked up at him, her eyebrows and eyes were moist, the man's face was reflected in her eyes, and there was a lot of sweat on her forehead because of running.

"Well, wipe your sweat. She lifted her hand and wiped the sweat from the man's forehead with the back of her hand.

Lou Shengkun wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned over slightly, getting closer to her.

A faint scent of tea lingered on the woman's body, ran out, rushed to him, and hooked him. With a thought, he leaned in and bit her lip.

At the entrance of the supermarket, a man and a woman stood in a huddle, and the hot wind lifted the woman's skirt in bursts, swept her ankles, and ran to the man's trousers.

His kiss was very gentle, and Qin Yan gradually lost it, but she still had a sense of shame in the end.

Standing at the gate of other people's business, how dare she come here in the future.

She pushed him away, the back of her ears flushed, and she wiped the back of her hand against the corner of her lips and took his hand.

"Let's go. She said.

Seeing her leading herself to the supermarket, Lou Shengkun frowned, "Don't go home?"

"Buy some groceries and go back, I'll cook tonight." ”

Lou Shengkun held her hand and didn't move, "No, your legs are ......"

"It's out of the way, it's a big deal to go slower. Qin Yan shook his hand, "Besides, it's all here." You can't run in vain. ”

"You wait, I'll buy it. With that, he took Qin Yan to a row of chairs at the door.

Qin Yan crossed his arms and looked at him, "Do you know which part of the meat I want to buy, how is the meat fresh, do you want to cut it and peel it?"

Lou Shengkun shook his head: "I don't understand." ”

"If you don't understand, let's go in together. Qin Yan took his hand again and pulled it in.

Lou Shengkun passively held him, and thought about it for a while, it seems that he still has a lot of room for improvement in the future.

The two of them sat on the escalator and went down to the first floor.

At present, many office workers have not yet left work, and there are not many people in the supermarket. There are only a few of them.

Qin Yan led Lou Shengkun to the fresh area first, Lou Shengkun was afraid that she would go too fast, so he deliberately slowed down.

Lou Shengkun looked around and stood behind Qin Yan, forming a half-circle in case someone accidentally bumped into him. Qin Yan hung her head, her gaze slid over the pieces of sliced pork, and when her gaze stopped, she reached out to take it, but collided with the other person's arm.

"You want this ...... too" she looked up at the other person, but the word "?" was stuck in her throat.

"You ......" Xiang Lanyi tilted his head. He looked at her in amazement.

Gao Pan Qin Yanlou Sheng Kun
