Zhang Liying shrank her body, looking at the corridor with offices on both sides, even in the daytime, the light seemed very dim, for some reason, as soon as she walked into the building, it was like entering autumn, a chill made her goosebumps all over her body, and it was cold to her heart.

Was it because the air conditioning in the building was running too much, or was it because of the lack of sunlight in the hallway? But she'd been there many times before, and she had never felt that way.

She rubbed her hands against her bare arms, regretting that she didn't wear long-sleeved clothes when she went out, and at this moment, a strange feeling enveloped her heart.

It's like walking at night, someone follows you silently.

She was now standing in the hallway with her back to the wall, with an unobstructed view of the entire hallway leading up to the stairs at either end, and for the first time she felt that there was an eerie silence in an office building if no one was moving.

She suddenly had the idea of escaping, although she knew that her fear was a little inexplicable, but it was difficult to suppress it.

"Isn't this Xiaoying?" The sudden sound startled Zhang Liying.

A middle-aged and somewhat bald fat man held a thermos cup in his hand and a leather bag under his arm, and walked towards her from the direction of the elevator step by step: "Why are you here? Come, go to your uncle's house and sit down!"

Zhang Liying frowned lightly when she looked at the person who came, this person was Feng Xingping, another deputy of her father, her father often criticized him for not being active in his work, liking to eat and drink with public funds, and even having problems with his life style, so Zhang Liying has never had a good impression of this frivolous person.

When I met him in this situation, I don't know what ugly words will come out of his mouth. Those who had a good relationship with their father in the past were lukewarm to themselves, let alone this person who usually had a bad temper with his father.

"I'm here to find Uncle Tan. As soon as Zhang Liying smelled the smell of wine on him, she turned her head away with disdain. Strange to say, as soon as the man came with the smell of alcohol and smoke all over his body, the cold feeling that permeated the air around him disappeared immediately.

"You kid, I just want you Uncle Tan, don't you miss you Uncle Feng?" Feng Xingping's fat face spewed alcohol in front of her, patting Zhang Liying's shoulder as he spoke, and pushed Zhang Liying into his office with an almost presumptuous forced action, "Come, come, come to Uncle Feng and sit down here and talk to uncle." ”

Zhang Liying didn't know what this man who was known for his problematic style wanted to do, but it was broad daylight, and it was an office building outside, and there were more than sixty people working in this building. Zhang Liying bit her lip and thought to herself.

As soon as he closed the office door, Feng Xingping immediately turned his head, and his expression, which was already eight points drunk, suddenly became much more sober, he pulled Zhang Liying to a corner away from the door, and asked in a serious low voice: "Xiaoying, what are you doing here?"

Zhang Liying was very nervous by his sudden change, she paused and said, "I came here to find Uncle Tan and want to ask my dad what the hell is going on...... But I came here a few times, but I didn't meet him. ”

"Where did he go?"

"Went to a meeting?"

Feng Xingping sneered: "I'll bet with you, he's in his office right now and hasn't gone anywhere! Silly girl, don't you see downstairs, his car and driver are still there? How can he go out?"

Seeing that she didn't believe it, he smiled slyly, picked up the phone and called, and his tone suddenly became half-drunk again: "Head, head, I'm back...... Hehehe, I didn't drink much, just eight taels...... I said, where are you now? Our Miss Zhang is here, and she is waiting for you...... It's a meeting, when can I come back? Oh, I can't come back this afternoon, okay, no problem, I'll greet Xiaoying on your behalf...... Hehehe, look at what you said, with my friendship with her father for so many years, can I not do my best to greet her......?

He hung up the phone and smiled slyly at her: "He said he wasn't coming back from a meeting." But I just pulled the landline in his office. ”

Zhang Liying cried immediately when she heard it, how could she even be like her father's best friend and assistant, could it be that the previous friendship with her father who called her brother and brother was all fake?

"Silly girl, what are you crying about? What is there to cry about...... If you were deceived and cried, your Uncle Feng would have cried to death......" Feng Xingping waved his hand with the smell of wine.

Zhang Liying stopped crying, but the tears were still rolling in her eyes, and she choked up for a while and said, "Uncle Feng, can you tell my father the truth about this......"

Feng Xingping made himself a cup of tea first, while blowing hot air, looked at her crying little face, shook his head, and stopped for a long time before saying, "How do I know the truth...... Just because of your dad's relationship with me, will he tell me?"

Zhang Liying knew that her father and Feng Xingping didn't get along well, but now, among so many colleagues, only Feng Xingping was willing to stand up and help her, she couldn't help but feel a little more good about this fat man, she sobbed: "But I don't even know what crime my father was arrested for......

Feng Xingping burped and blew the hot air in the cup: "You know Pengda Company, right?"

"I don't know......" Zhang Liying shook her head.

Feng Xingping sighed, a little girl of this age cares about celebrities, fashion, novels, comics, and cosmetics, how can she care about these social news, he lowered his voice and said: "This matter is quite a big trouble in our city, and some time ago, the old employees of their company made a big fuss. ”

"What the hell is going on? Is it related to my father?" Such a big matter, if my father was involved, it would definitely be a very serious crime, Zhang Liying was so anxious that her eyes widened and she immediately stood up.

Feng Xingping took a sip of tea, approached her and said:

"At that time, the company's business was not doing well, so last year it was sold to a foreign company, and it was sold for more than 50 million, but as soon as the foreign company turned around, it dismissed all the employees of the original company and resold the company for almost 200 million. But that company's fixed assets alone are far more than 300 million.

So the employees of that company started to make trouble, and as soon as the investigation began, they immediately found out that they had embezzled state-owned assets, and your father happened to be a government official who came forward during this transaction, you understand, right? So he was involved in taking bribes and deliberately selling state-owned assets at a low price, so he ......."

"My dad wouldn't do that! He must have been wronged. ”

Feng Xingping took another sip of tea, shook his head and sighed: "I don't know about this, your father won't let me know about work, the relationship between the two of us...... Hehe, I don't say you know ......"

"Cousin, can you make it clear?" Jiang Chang followed Zhang Wenli back and forth in the room several times, and he finally couldn't hold his breath and shouted.

Zhang Wenli walked into the bathroom without saying a word, rubbed the clothes soaked in the red plastic bucket with her hands, shook off the laundry detergent foam on her hands, and after the clothes were washed, she got up and took the clothes through the living room and walked to the balcony to dry the clothes, Jiang Chang immediately followed and shouted: "Don't you pretend not to hear it, I've been talking for a long time, it turns out that I am singing a one-man show!"

Jiang Chang grew up beside his grandmother since he was a child, and his cousin Zhang Wenli, who was nineteen years older than him, had just stepped into society at that time and lived in his grandmother's house due to his work unit. So Zhang Wenli took care of Jiang Chang like a little mother, and Jiang Chang's feelings for Zhang Wenli were much closer than ordinary cousins and brothers.

Zhang Wenli has always been obedient to this cousin, because she has no children, so Zhang Wenli paid a kind of maternal love to Jiang Chang. Even when he was rebellious, he would rebel against his parents' words, but he only listened to Zhang Wenli's words, as long as she said a few words, he would always listen.

But now Jiang Chang asked Zhang Wenli about Zhang Liying's father, but Zhang Wenli was reluctant to say, Jiang Chang became more and more unhappy in his heart, so he simply made a little temperament and took away her clothes that had not been dried, Zhang Wenli turned around and walked back to the living room, he followed behind her, snatched the rag that was wiping the table in her hand and threw it into the garbage basket in the corner,

"If you don't tell me, I won't leave! I don't want to do anything here until you tell me!" he sat down on the couch with his arms folded and huffing.

Zhang Wenli looked at him and sighed: "Changchang, you are already an adult, why are you still a child's temper! Why are you asking this, I have already said it, this is my own business, you don't need to worry about me, as for your cousin-in-law...... Alas, look at his own creation. ”

"It's not that I want to know, I'm too lazy to care about that man's business, it's Xiaoying, that's her father, she has the right to know!" Jiang Chang has always hated this cousin-in-law, but Zhang Wenli and Zhang Liying are very important people to him, and their fate is linked to that man. So even if he doesn't like that man, he wants this man to be safe and sound more than anyone else, so that Zhang Wenli and Zhang Liying can regain their old smiles.

"Yingying, she wants to know ......," Zhang Wenli asked as she looked at him blankly.

"Yes, this time she is determined to get all this out of the way, don't you understand her temper? Jiang Chang has experienced Zhang Liying's silent stubbornness many times, which can be described as impressive.

"Yingying, she's still young, she knows that this is not good for her......" Zhang Wenli snorted into the kitchen.

"Don't say these useless words in front of me!" Jiang Chang showed no mercy to her, "Don't think that I don't know the relationship between you and Yingying, don't tell yourself how much you care about her, you both hate that the other party doesn't exist." ”

Zhang Wenli put down the rice cooker that was being cleaned in her hand and raised her eyebrows: "If she has to think like this, I can't help it, I am absolutely sincere to her!"

"Don't talk about this, I'm here for my cousin-in-law's business, you quickly say that the matter is clear, I'll go back and tell Xiaoying, so that she won't be thinking nonsense there. Jiang Chang waved his hand impatiently.

is the so-called stepmother is difficult to do, Zhang Wenli has not been easy these years, especially in the face of a stubborn and smart girl like Zhang Liying, but this is also Zhang Wenli's own finding, there were so many good young men waiting for her to choose, but she looked down on others, she had to bear the infamy of a third party who destroyed people's families, and a man with a family, it was strange that Zhang Liying, who was already sensible at that time, would have a good impression of her.
