76th Morning Light This is what you owe me, and you must pay it back
Shi Chuxi picked up the phone, and the man had already gotten out of the car first.
She hesitated for a while, and sent a voice message to Shi Yu: "I have to work overtime at night, and the staff restaurant will provide overtime meals, you eat dinner first, don't wait for me." β
After sending, Shi Yu quickly replied with an OK gesture.
She put her phone away and glanced at the man outside the car.
He stood on the side of the road, his hands in the pockets of his suit pants, the evening light shone on him, the lines of his side face had no expression, his lips did not have the various smiles of ordinary days, but there was a faint cold front, and his narrow and deep eyes behind the lenses looked into the distance slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
She found that when he was alone, she put away his usual gentle and harmless, and the whole person revealed a cold and indifferent sense of distance.
However, she didn't have much fear, this man has experienced great changes in his life that ordinary people can't imagine, and naturally has emotions in his heart that ordinary people can't easily peep into.
Bo Anying resigned, and his ascension to the throne seemed to be expected, but she did not see the slightest joy in him, but felt a kind of loneliness.
If she could, she wanted to soothe this loneliness in his heart.
Don't worry, they have a long life to live in the future, and they will always get better.
She cheered herself up like this.
The red lips couldn't help but smile, pushed the car door, the body suddenly shook, and a lazy and delicate figure got out of the royal blue Aston sports car that had just been parked not far on the right hand, the black lace dress showed the sexy curves of the figure, with a pair of thin black leggings and high heels, walking swaying, sexy and charming.
It's Ning Lijiao.
Her eyes shook. The hand pushing the door involuntarily stuck in mid-air, watching Ning Lijiao twist her waist and step on ten-inch high heels without squinting out of the parking lot.
When I saw Ning Lijiao, I would naturally think of Jin Heng......
She will feel like a huge blender churning in her chest, and her whole body trembles like chaff, especially when Ning Lijiao was so close to Bo Yunshen just now, although she knew that these two people couldn't hit each other, cold sweat still spread from the soles of her feet and crawled all over her back.
The car window was knocked twice, she was startled, and turned her head to see Bo Yunshen standing by the car door, she desperately took a deep breath. Calm yourself down.
The car door was pulled open from the outside, the man lowered his head, Sven's lenses were reflective, and he couldn't see the color of his eyes, but he could feel his gaze stay on her pale face, and his voice was gentle: "Uncomfortable?"
"I'm a little hungry, I have low blood sugar as soon as I'm hungry. She said with difficulty.
He stretched out his arm to pull her out of the car, bent down to hug her, she quickly pushed him: "What are you going to do?"
His thin lips hooked: "I thought you were hungry and refused to come down, because you wanted to wait for me to hug you." β
"Not really. She snorted and turned her head quickly. He said in a muffled voice: "Where to eat, I'm starving." β
Restaurant, Shi Chuxi looked around, this is a high-end western restaurant with a quiet environment, seeing that he seems to come often, he simply gives him full authority to order.
At about half past seven, when he was almost finished, seeing him call after call, Shi Chuxi planned to go to the bathroom and leave.
Coincidentally, she saw Ning Lijiao again on the way to the bathroom.
Ning Lijiao put her phone to her ear and walked to a secluded window in the corridor.
Shi Chuxi walked with his head bowed quickly in a few steps, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a name.
"Jin Heng, I found her. β
Her breath stopped as if someone had taken her breath and her steps had taken root.
"Hehe, what's wrong, I can't bear it? I haven't done anything to her yet. Ning Lijiao smiled lowly, and could hear a faint choking in her voice.
ββ¦β¦β
"It was you who proposed to me a year ago, and in a blink of an eye, you were looking for a woman here behind my back, what are you loving me with?"
ββ¦β¦β
"I'm not excited!" Ning Lijiao's voice was suppressed and a little hoarse: "...... Hehe...... You're wrong? You've made a mistake that all men in the world make, you love me, do you think I'll believe it? You liar!"
Ning Lijiao let out a wry smile from time to time, and then seemed to be repeating what the person on the phone said, and it seemed that the person on the phone was trying to calm Ning Lijiao's emotions. Is that person Mr. Jin, Jin Heng?
It should be.
Shi Chuxi's whole body was cold, and it could be heard from this brief call that Ning Lijiao was questioning Jin Heng, and what she asked was about Jin Heng taking care of her in Linhong.
Of course, it can also be explained from another side that Jin Heng loves Ning Lijiao very much, maybe he also comforted Ning Lijiao on the phone and said that the person he loves the most is her love words.
Fingers clenched involuntarily, Shi Chuxi gasped, in this shady relationship, she had long guessed that Jin Heng's identity might be a man with a family or something, otherwise he would not have shown his face from beginning to end, sure enough, she guessed that he had a girlfriend, no, to be precise, he had a fiancΓ©e, Ning Lijiao just said on the phone that he had proposed.
The sound of high heels came from behind him, Shi Chuxi came back to his senses, raised his legs and left.
In the next moment, two bodyguards stopped in front of her, and Ning Lijiao's lazy and cool voice came: "Miss Shi." β
Shi Chuxi paused and turned around, "Miss Ning." β
"Did you hear what you said just now?" Ning Lijiao walked over in high heels, Shi Chuxi was not short, almost a little taller than Ning Lijiao, but Ning Lijiao had ten-inch high heels on her feet, which directly pressed her in terms of temperament.
Shi Chuxi pursed her lower lip: "I'm sorry." β
Ning Lijiao didn't appreciate it: "Are you sorry for eavesdropping, or are you sorry for interfering in my relationship with Jin Heng?"
"I didn't get involved in your relationship with Mr. Jin, and I didn't know anything about his identity before. β
"Cheap!"
"Miss Ning, please pay attention to your ......"
Ning Lijiao interrupted her with a sneer, "You can be a man's mistress casually without knowing anything, what are you not a lowly person?"
Shi Chuxi's face was bloodless in an instant, biting her lip, she looked away in embarrassment, for the first time in her life, she was scolded like this, and she couldn't refute a word.
"I was in the parking lot just now, and I seem to see you coming in a sports car. Ning Lijiao stepped on her high heels and approached her a few steps, and said in a soft tone like an intimate chat between friends: "It seems that the other party is either the new owner you found, or your new boyfriend." β
Shi Chuxi's face turned paler, and his heart almost slowed down several beats.
"Look at your expression, that man should be your boyfriend, do you like him?" The smile on Ning Lijiao's face was lazy, but his tone was like quenched ice, and he said unhurriedly: "A woman like you who sells her body is also worthy of falling in love?" You said, if I told your current one, he would ......?"
"Don't!" Shi Chuxi screamed in fright, his nerves stretched to the limit, and he tried to find his voice: "Miss Ning, my contract with Mr. Jin ended last month, I am especially sorry for the hurt that this relationship has done to you, I really didn't know Mr. Jin's identity at first, I didn't even know what he looked like, his full name, I was very short of money at the time, I was really short of money, I was desperate, I couldn't help it." His secretary was the work of his secretary, and she could testify to it. β
"Do you think I'll believe this now?" Ning Lijiao lifted her eyelids, and all the voices seemed to be squeezed out of between her teeth: "It's a fact that you seduced him, do you know that he has proposed to me, and we are about to get married, as a bride, I suddenly heard that my husband was breading a young and beautiful girl outside and maintained an illicit relationship for many months, what do you think I will think?"
Shi Chuxi bit her lip harder and was quiet for a minute. Suddenly, he said in a clear manner: "Then what do you want? Even if you go all over the world now to publicize my relationship with Mr. Jin, it will embarrass me at most, but there is still no way to change what has happened, Miss Ning, you are a smart person, if this matter breaks out, Mr. Jin will only be angry with you, and the contradiction between you will only get bigger and bigger." I guess, that's not what you want to see the most. Now that he's shown that he still loves you, I'm just a tool for him to meet his physical needs in a foreign land, to put it mildly. Instead of you dwelling on the past here and affecting the relationship between you, it is better for you to forget about it. Do you have a point?"
Ning Lijiao stared at her stunned, as if she was thinking carefully about her words, Shaoqing, frowned and asked, "Do you guarantee that the relationship between you and him is really broken?"
"I promise. She nodded vigorously: "Just a month ago, Mr. Jin and I never met again." β
"Who brought it up?"
"It's me. β
"You?"
"Yes. Shi Chuxi eased up, his eyes revealed a touch of softness, and he said slowly: "I brought it up, Mr. Jin is a good person, he didn't embarrass me, otherwise I would have breached the contract and paid him a large amount of liquidated damages." β
"Do you like him?" Ning Lijiao's eyes suddenly stared sharply at the smile on Shi Chuxi's face, and her voice was sharp and abnormal: "Are you in love with him?"
Shi Chuxi had a few seconds blank in his mind, subconsciously shook his head, and hurriedly denied: "No, I didn't, I didn't even see him, how could I fall in love with him." β
"Not the best. Ning Lijiao's delicately drawn thin eyebrows were still tightly wrinkled, her face was a little colder, and she stared at her indifferent mouth: "If you want me to be relieved, if you promise me one thing, I will no longer care about you and Jin Heng." β
Shi Chuxi intuitively felt that the other party had bad intentions, but she had no choice: "You say." β
"You have been fostered by others, you have been fostered by others, no matter how much hard work you use, no amount of sophistry can change this fact of existence. Ning Lijiao's eyes flashed with a sneer of disgust: "I want you to break up with your current one, you have ruined my relationship, I feel bad when I see you doing well, this is what you owe me, you must pay it back." β
Parted?
Want her and Bo Yunshen?
Doesn't that mean that they want to divorce?
Shi Chuxi was completely speechless.
β¦β¦
On the street, facing the tidal wave of traffic, she stood for a long time.
The ringtone of the mobile phone came into her ears, and she was blankly in front of her, it was Bo Yunshen's phone.
He must have been waiting in the restaurant for a long time. Call someone to find it.
But how can she see him with such a dejected appearance now, he is so shrewd, once she asks about it, she will definitely not be able to hide it.
She doesn't want to destroy the image in front of him, no girl in love in the world likes to expose her dark side, her ugliness and unbearability in front of each other, and she is no exception.
The phone hung up in a hurry, she reached out and stopped a taxi, and after getting into the car, the phone kept ringing, she took a breath and turned off the phone, turned her head to look out the window, and suddenly found that she had burst into tears at some point.
β¦β¦
Push open the door to the apartment. There were several dishes on the table, all of which had not been touched.
She went to the bathroom to wash her face, and when she came out, Shi Yu was coming out of the kitchen, holding the reheated dish in her hand: "After washing your hands, come and try my handiwork." β
When Shi Chuxi washed her face and looked in the mirror just now, she found that there was nothing abnormal except that her face was a little paler, so she pulled out a chair and sat down, and said, "Didn't I say it? There are employees in the hotel who have overtime meals, I have already eaten, you don't have to wait for me." β
"I've cooked so many dishes, and I'm going to eat them alone. Do you think I have an appetite?" Shi Yu put a white porcelain bowl with soup in front of her: "Well, even if you don't eat, you can always drink the soup I made for you." β
She looked at the soup in front of her, the familiar aroma, it was his craftsmanship, and she couldn't help but think of that man again, he was like this, he made a good dish, and would cook all kinds of delicious food for her.
Will you never be able to eat again?
Her eyes were sour, she lowered her eyelashes and drank the soup silently.
After a while. After drinking a bowl of soup, she wiped her lips with a tissue and asked him, "What time are you going to Oujia Group tomorrow?"
"I've been told I'm going to be there at eight o'clock. β
"Then you hurry up and eat, and go to bed early after eating. After Shi Chuxi finished explaining, he turned around and went into the bedroom.
Shi Chuxi is very abnormal today, no, it should be said that since the moment he returned to China, she has become as if she is not the Shi Chuxi he knows.
Shi Yu stared at her back until the bedroom door closed, lowered his handsome face thoughtfully, scooped a spoonful of soup, and slowly blew it.
β¦β¦
Shi Chuxi lifted the quilt in his pajamas, and unconsciously looked at the pillow he had slept on. glanced sideways at the turned off phone, picked it up and sat on the bed, and opened the phone with bated breath.
As soon as the phone was turned on, there were eight more missed calls.
She thought for a moment, then dialed back.
The phone rang twice and was picked up, and the man's low voice oozed extreme displeasure: "Why don't you answer my phone?"
"My phone is dead. β
The man snorted softly, obviously not believing, and asked again, "Are you back to the apartment?"
"Hmm. β
"Shi Chuxi, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise I'll go up now. β
So, he's downstairs?
She hurriedly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, the curtains open. Looking down in the night, he saw his car parked underneath.
"No, don't come here. She glanced in the direction of the bedroom door, and faintly heard the sound of Shi Yu walking and humming outside, and the knuckles of holding the curtain turned white, and whispered: "I rushed back because I suddenly found out that my period was coming, and there was no sanitary napkin for a while, and the back of my skirt was also stained, so I was embarrassed to see you." β
ββ¦β¦β
His voice slowed down a lot: "Are you feeling better now?"
"It's better. β
"The next time you encounter this kind of thing, tell me directly, you are my wife, I can do such a thing as buying sanitary napkins. β
"Oh. She responded deftly. My heart was filled with emotion and guilt.
Painful eyes stared at the car downstairs, he sat in the car and didn't get out, but she could imagine that his eyes must be gentle at this time.
She was shameful after all, shameful to deceive him.
So good that he contrasts her dirty......
"You have been fostered by others, you have been fostered by others, no matter how much hard work you use, no amount of sophistry can change this fact of existence. β
Although Ning Lijiao came with malice, she also said the truth, no matter how she quibbled, an unbearable relationship with Mr. Jin did exist and could not be changed.
"Go to bed early, I'll go back. β
A man's soft voice came from his ears.
She bit her lower lip. I bit my lip until there was a smell of blood before I let go, and said in a low voice, "Well, drive slower on the road." β
Poured into the bed, tears flowed out, tomorrow ...... How was she going to face him.
Crying until I fell asleep, I vaguely remembered a person, Jin Heng.
If she can contact him, then she may be able to ask him to stop Ning Lijiao, but now, she doesn't want to end this marriage with Bo Yunshen. I don't want Ning Lijiao to retaliate against her like crazy.
can only find Jin Heng and let him restrain Ning Lijiao.
Yes, Mr. Jin has always been very talkative, he is a complete gentleman, as long as she finds him, he should be able to transfer Ning Lijiao back to Country F.
How can I contact Jin Heng? Lin Xianghui hid and couldn't find it.
But there is another name in my heart - Jiang Mucheng.
For the first time, she took the initiative to dial Jiang Mucheng's phone, "Mr. Jiang, I'm Shi Chuxi." β
"Miss Shi, are you asking about going to the zoo tomorrow?"
She was stunned, yes, how could she forget that she had promised to accompany Xiao Qinyan to the zoo a few days ago, that was just right, and she would find another opportunity when she saw him tomorrow.
"Well, yes, I want to ask Xiao Qinyan if he is better?
"I asked, she was looking forward to it, and Chen's mother said that the little girl had packed her backpack after dinner today, so the plan to go to the zoo tomorrow remained unchanged. β
"Okay. β
Next.
Shi Yu went out first in the morning, and when Shi Chuxi went out, he saw that it was already seven o'clock, and he had to take the subway. Hurried downstairs and found Jiang Mucheng's car parked below.
Wu Qinyan leaned on the window of the car and waved his little hand at her excitedly.
"Miss Shi, morning. Jiang Mucheng sat in the driver's seat and personally came down to open the car door for her.
"Early, Mr. Jiang, early, Xiao Qinyan. Shi Chuxi sat in the car with a smile and pinched Wu Qinyan's soft face, "Are you happy today?"
Wu Qinyan's big black grape-like eyes flashed with expectation, and he nodded his little head busily. I wanted to compare dumb words, but my right hand was wrapped in gauze, and my little face collapsed all of a sudden.
"It's okay, Xiao Qinyan, I believe Mr. Shi, as long as you are strong and brave, cooperate with the doctor, and listen to your father, your hands will be fine!" she smiled encouragingly and touched her little head.
Wu Qinyan believed and trusted Teacher Shi very much, and he was happy again when he heard these words.
Jiang Mucheng, who was in the driver's seat, saw this scene from the rearview mirror, and a helpless smile appeared on his cold face. sighed: "Miss Shi, your words are much more effective than mine, and I feel that I can't say a single sentence when I say ten sentences." β
"Mr. Jiang, I still say the same thing, take more time to accompany Xiao Qinyan, as long as you do it, you will find that she will trust you as much as she trusts me. Shi Chuxi was blunt.
Jiang Mucheng was quite taught and agreed: "You are right, so don't I take the time to come over and play with her? Learn from you, I will continue to work hard." β
"Uh-huh, come on. β
β¦β¦
Zoo.
Unlike what Shi Chuxi imagined, the zoo was deserted. There is not a single tourist, only the keepers at each post.
Wu Qinyan took Shi Chuxi's hand and went to see the giraffe from time to time, and then went to see the black bear, and had a lot of fun.
The child's energy is always unlimited, and when the adult is tired of playing, the little girl is still full of interest.
Shi Chuxi sat on the chair next to her to rest, Jiang Mucheng came over and handed her a bottle of mineral water.
She said thank you and took it, but found that it was unscrewed, and stopped in surprise.
Young girls nowadays are very protective of themselves when they are outside, and they are especially wary of any opened water handed by the opposite sex.
Jiang Mucheng smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm used to it, if you don't worry, I'll buy you another bottle." β
"No, I don't think Mr. Jiang is that kind of person. Shi Chuxi took two sips without thinking, and asked him casually: "Mr. Jiang used to twist the lid of mineral water for other girls?"
"My sister. β
All right.
She wanted to start the conversation, but she ended up talking to death, and took two more sips of water, "Have you covered this place? β
"I'm very privacy-conscious. Jiang Mucheng opened the mineral water in his hand and took a sip, "I believe Miss Shi has heard a lot of scandals about me, if you appear here with me today, I don't know how those reporters will write tomorrow." β
Indeed it is.
Shi Chuxi tilted his head to look at him: "And the most important point, you want to protect Xiao Qinyan, the outside world seems to have many versions of her life experience." β
"They say she's my illegitimate daughter?" Jiang Mucheng sneered, slowly took a sip of mineral water, and stared at Wu Qinyan, who was lying outside the glass window, "If she were my illegitimate daughter, I wouldn't let her be left behind, and I would have recognized her as an ancestor." From this point on, I am much stronger than Jin Heng. β
Jin Heng?
Shi Chuxi felt that he was not having auditory hallucinations, but really heard Jin Heng's name from his mouth.
But...... Maybe it was a weak heart, or maybe she already knew that he was not Jin Heng, and she didn't dare to mention Jin Heng's name in front of him rashly for a while.
"Miss Shi, I don't know if I should say it or not?" Jiang Mucheng looked at her with complicated eyes.
She was stunned: "Of course." Mr. Jiang has something to say. β
"Honestly, about the last time Miss Shi said that you are proficient in French, I went to have someone do an investigation, and my starting point is to collect more talents who know French, of course, it would be great to be able to dig you into our company, but I seem to have accidentally found some unreasonable places in Miss Shi. β
"Where is it unreasonable?
"Miss Shi, don't you know? The entire personnel department of large and small enterprises in Linhong City has been greeted by people in advance, which is why you have submitted a lot of resumes and never responded. β
Shi Chuxi's head buzzed, as if there were many voices ringing, and he muttered, "When is it?"
"About ten months ago. β
Ten months ago, that is, a month before she arrived in Linhong City from the imperial capital.
Her jaw tensed: "What does Mr. Jiang mean...... Someone wanted to ban me in Linhong City ten months ago. Don't let me get any formal jobs, is that what you mean?"
"Yes. β
At this moment, Shi Chuxi's first thought was Tang Zixiao, it was easy for the Tang family to ban her in Linhong City and prevent her from finding a decent job.
However, there were always things waiting for her that she couldn't imagine, and Jiang Mucheng then said quietly: "Doesn't Miss Shi feel strange when she hears this? If this is the case, you shouldn't enter any big company, but you just entered the Tya Hotel, and you went up at the speed of a rocket all the way. Just ask who in the whole hotel has such a promotion speed as you, and within a month, he jumped a few levels from the marketing department and was transferred to the secretary's office, unless the person who ordered you to be banned ten months ago was someone who could turn his hands into clouds and rain in Tiya. β
Shi Chuxi couldn't hear who he was alluding to.
A lot of things, now looking back and thinking about it carefully, there are indeed a lot of illogical places, she submitted her resume a year ago, and last month the personnel department of Tya said that she found her resume, no more, no less, just one year.
It was at this time that she met Bo Yunshen, and then they were drunk again and they shouldn't have happened, and finally she got a certificate with him.
