060, noisy
Sensing the subtle change in his expression, Tong Qiangqiang's nerves tightened.
This question is undoubtedly full of suspicion about Han Lie.
But she couldn't control herself from thinking about it.
I wonder if Han Lie has long known that An Lu is Mrs. Smith's woman.
I think about what role Han Lie played in Zhong Wenhao's rape of An Lu.
She remembered in a trance that because she had been emotionally inclined to Han Lie from the beginning, even the small doubts she had had were gradually dispelled as her feelings for him deepened.
In the space of two or three seconds, her thoughts turned back and forth, but she couldn't read what Han Lie was thinking in this short silence.
Then I saw him stand up straight, his eyes narrowed unpleasantly, and he asked coldly and directly, "When do you think I should know?"
Tong Qiangqiang expected that with Han Lie's paragraphs, he would definitely be able to hear the doubts hidden in her words.
Being mentally prepared and facing his indifference are two different things.
Tong Qiangqiang felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and said slowly: "I just want an answer, and I must be determined." I will believe what you say. β
In fact, another rational villain in the body had kicked her fiercely, despising her blindness. But what can be done? In love, how many people can really not be blind?
She loved him. She feared that her suspicions about him would be amplified by the chaos of information from the outside world. So she desperately needed his words to cut off this suspicion.
She wanted to give him all her credit.
Looking at the earnestness in the depths of her eyes, a little pitiful, Han Lie's heart seemed to be held by something, and his eyes flickered and disappeared. Instantly, he said: "The day I accompanied you to An Jinghong's house was the first time I saw An Lu. When I was in Sydney with you, An Jinghong had already reached out to Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith had just come to talk to me about it, and he wasn't sure what he was going to do. Unexpectedly, An Lu didn't even have a child. β
Han Lie's tone was steady, but the more steady it was, the more it made her feel as if he was angry. Tong Qiangqiang completely regretted why he asked, and pulled Han Lie's hand: "Uncle...... I see......"
Han Lie stared at her and didn't speak.
Tong Qiangqiang pursed his lips, just wanted to quickly say something to transition the small unpleasantness just now, and asked: "Mr. Smith terminated the cooperation with the Zhong Group like this, as the defaulting party, he should be compensated, right?"
The loss is not only the Zhong family, it is simply the practice of "killing 10,000 enemies and losing 8,000 yourself".
Mr. Smith's ability to do this for Anlu shows his love for Mrs. Smith.
"It's supposed to be compensation, but it's not as serious as you think. Probably because the matter was too complicated, Han Lie only gave a simple explanation: "In order to get this opportunity to cooperate, the Zhong family had a lot of compromises on some specific cooperation conditions. Mr. Smith was the lead prosecution in the joint case. Even if it has been decided to cooperate with Zhong's before, there are still many people who are interested in it. β
So it means that as long as Mr. Smith holds Pilo Island, he doesn't have to worry about anything in the future?
Didn't the news say that Zhong's ...... had already attracted investment through this development project?
Han Lie paused for a moment and said, "In order to cooperate with the development of Pilong Island, the Zhong family has recently launched a lot of new projects, and the initial investment is very large. It is very likely to face a tight cash flow situation. β
Tong Qiangqiang didn't know much about business operations, but she understood the meaning.
Anyway, Mr. Smith is the key to turning Chung around.
Tong Qiangqiang bit his lip and looked at Han Lie - he was a member of the Zhong family, and at the same time he had a deep friendship with Mr. Smith, what would he do next?
Han Lie pinched his eyebrow bone and said lightly, "I'm going to make up for sleep first." β
As he spoke, without waiting for Tong Qiangqiang's reaction, he walked towards his own bedroom.
The black silent wooden door closed airtightly, and Tong Qiangqiang shrugged his shoulders in frustration.
In the evening, Han Lie went out in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to eat dinner. And that night, he didn't come back to sleep.
Regarding Mr. Smith's decision to terminate the cooperation, there was a lot of noise in the news, but Zhong never gave a positive response.
The next day, Tong Qiangqiang, accompanied by Ah Hua, went to the hospital again to visit Anlu.
When he came for the first time, An Lu didn't wake up, and when he came for the second time, he followed Han Lie without seeing it, and this third time, Tong Qiangqiang saw An Jinghong and a doctor in a white coat walking out of the ward from a distance.
The doctor was talking to An Jinghong with a solemn expression, An Jinghong listened carefully, and didn't see Tong Qiangqiang, with the doctor, I don't know where to go.
Tong Qiang walked into the ward, and there was a nurse left inside, changing the bottle for An Lu.
Seeing that An Lu had woken up, Tong Qiangqiang was overjoyed: "Little deer." β
An Lu didn't answer her.
But seeing her sitting on the hospital bed, her long straight black hair seemed to be hanging on her scalp, and her face turned pale. Her eyes stared blankly into the void, her arms clasped on a pillow, her posture as if she were holding a child, her lips moving and muttering to herself.
Tong Qiangqiang frowned and took two steps closer, only then could she vaguely hear that she was not muttering to herself, but humming a little tune.
The sound is muffled and the tone is fragmented. But it's easy to recognize, it's "Bugs Fly".
"Little deer......" Tong Qiangqiang looked at An Lu in a daze, "...... are you?"
"Can't you see it?" sighed the nurse who changed the hanging bottle for An Lu, "When I woke up, I found that the child was gone, crying and fussing, and I was going to lift the hospital, and several nurses joined forces to suppress her, and she was calmed down by injecting tranquilizers." Those who don't know are afraid that this is a mental hospital. β
"When you wake up later, you don't cry or make a fuss, and it's what you see now. Hugging the pillow and humming, no one called it, and once she wanted to take the pillow away from her arms, she began to cry and scream again as if she was going to fight with the other party. β
Tong Qiangqiang's nose was sour and he covered his mouth.
An Jinghong's cold question suddenly came from behind him: "Why are you here again?"
Tong Qiangqiang turned around when he heard this, and not only saw An Jinghong, but also Mr. Smith.
used to be guilty of An Jinghong's brother and sister. Now that there are more Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Tong Qiangqiang suddenly felt a heavy sense of guilt on his shoulders, and his eyes turned red: "Mr. Smith......"
Noticing Tong Qiangqiang's expression on the verge of crying, Mr. Smith panicked a little, "Tong, don't be like this. Mind going out and talking to me?"
The two of them left the hospital room and stopped by the window where Han Lie had leaned yesterday.
Mr. Smith pulled the humidor out of his pocket, quickly reacted to the occasion, and put it back away. Instead, he asked Tong Qiangqiang: "Do I need to hand you a tissue gentlemanly?"
He had already returned to his previous tone, Tong Qiangqiang relaxed a little, sniffed, bowed his head solemnly, and said, "I'm really sorry about the deer." β
"Tong," Mr. Smith said, giving him a lift on the shoulder, "don't do that. I already know the situation. We all know who is right and wrong, don't we, and if I really have to think about it, I will also bear a large part of the responsibility. β
Tong Qiangqiang looked up at the expression on Mr. Smith's face, and there was a deep sense of self-blame.
"If I had made up my mind earlier and had a good talk with Yi about Xiaolu, the current series of things would not have happened. Mr. Smith tilted his head slightly and looked out the window, "I've been thinking about Yi's emotions and worrying that she will be sad." But now, how do I talk to her? β
Tong Qiangqiang followed Mr. Smith's gaze. He also looked out the window at the bright sunlight, alternating between Mrs. Smith's smiling appearance and red-eyed independent appearance in the wind, and Mr. Smith was silent together.
After a few seconds, Tong Qiangqiang asked, "...... Aren't you going to bring Mrs. Smith back?"
If you can hide it for a while, you can't hide it for a lifetime. She even wondered if it would be helpful for Anlu to let Mrs. Smith come back and reunite Anlu with her mother. In fact, the heart disease of the mother and daughter is the same, isn't it?
Mr. Smith turned his face and shook his head, "Not intended." β
Tong Qiangqiang hesitated to tell Mr. Smith what she thought, so he heard Mr. Smith say next: "I plan to take the fawn to Sydney." β
Tong Qiangqiang was stunned for a second, and then was pleased.
"I've got in touch with the hospital in Sydney. Mr. Smith was stunned, "I hope Yi won't be frightened when he sees the fawn." β
"When will you be transferred to the hospital, is the time set?" asked Tong Qiangqiang.
"I'm going through the formalities for the fawn. But I'll wait for me to finish this side of the matter at the earliest. β
When he said the second half of the sentence, Mr. Smith's expression was extremely strange and indifferent for a moment.
The things that need to be settled here are other than fighting the Zhong family. What else could there be? Tong Qiangqiang unconsciously curled his fingersβ
From the very beginning, she had been in contact with Mr. Smith as a friend, and all she saw was his image as Mrs. Smith's husband, which she had almost forgotten for a long time, that Mr. Smith was also a businessman for many years.
To get to where he is today, he has his own wrist in the mall. Just looking at the fact that he wants to terminate the contract with the Zhong family at the expense of breach of contract, you can see one or two of his decisiveness and toughness.
But because everything he did was for Mrs. Smith, Tong Qiangqiang decided that Mr. Smith was different from the ordinary mercenary ruthless businessman.
Tong Qiangqiang is even thinking, as the saying goes, "things gather by like, and people are divided by groups". Since Han Lie can maintain a friendship with Mr. Smith and is valued by Mr. Smith, does it mean that the part of Han Lie's businessman is the same as Mr. Smith's?
Han Lie, he ...... Did you say anything?" Tong Qiangqiang always cared about Han Lie's position in this matter.
Mr. Smith understood the meaning of her words, looked a little serious, and said, "Han has always been a man of principle. β
Immediately afterwards, he asked Tong Qiangqiang: "Tong, that person is your husband, right?"
Tong Qiangqiang nodded, and shook his head again: "I just divorced him yesterday." β
Mr. Smith smiled with relief, "I am very happy with this news. β
Tong Qiangqiang thought he meant that he didn't have to care about her relationship with Zhong Wenhao. Unexpectedly, Mr. Smith's next sentence was, "I look forward to attending your and Han's wedding as soon as possible." β
Tong Qiangqiang: The Mr. Smith who said this sentence in the ...... is the Mr. Smith she knows......
When the two returned to the ward, Ah Hua was waiting alone in the corner, and An Jinghong was feeding An Lu.
Anlu still maintained that posture and state. An Jinghong held the bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, scooped up the stumbling rice in the bowl with the spoon, sent it to An Lu's mouth, and gently coaxed: "Little deer, listen to my brother." Mouth. β
An Lu really opened her mouth slightly, An Jinghong handed the spoon in, An Lu spontaneously took the spoon as if a conditioned reflex, and took away the rice on the spoon, and the air was the small movement of her teeth grinding against the stainless steel spoon. Immediately, An Lu chewed obediently, but his gaze was still unfocused.
A series of actions, like a robot, mechanically executes the commands given by the program.
And at least, she can listen to An Jinghong's program.
Tong Qiangqiang wanted to cry a little again. Thinking about what Han Lie told her about last night, I think it was the brother and sister who depended on each other for their lives, and An Jinghong was not just an elder brother to An Lu.
Mr. Smith should have the same feelings as Tong Qiangqiang, and asked Tong Qiangqiang in a low voice: "Do you have an idiom in China, called 'the eldest brother is like a father'?"
Tong Qiangqiang nodded.
Mr. Smith looked at An Jinghong and An Lu, and his expression was slightly moved.
Silently watched An Jinghong feed An Lu one bite at a time, very quickly. When the bowl was at the bottom, An Jinghong did not forget to take a tissue to gently wipe the corners of An Lu's mouth.
Then he got up with the bowl in his hand, and went to the bathroom, bowing politely to Mr. Smith, and treating Tong Qiangqiang with no respect.
Tong Qiangqiang can only rely on him, at least thanks to Mr. Smith, and he doesn't have to be kicked out by An Jinghong.
The door to the ward was suddenly pushed in from the outside.
But it was Zhong Wenhao who rushed in in a hurry, and when he saw Mr. Smith, he steadied himself a little.
An Jinghong's face had changed: "What are you doing here?!"
Zhong Wenhao turned a deaf ear to An Jinghong's words and looked at him. Respectfully bent over Mr. Smith: "Mr. Smith, can you give me ten minutes to have a good chat with you?"
He must have arrived in a hurry, and his voice was slightly panting.
Mr. Smith was obviously unpleasant at his rash intrusion, frowned, and coldly refused: "Sorry, I didn't want to talk to you. β
An Jinghong had already stepped forward to drive Zhong Wenhao out of the ward, Zhong Wenhao gritted his teeth, and knelt on the ground in front of Mr. Smith: "Mr. Smith, please!"
"I know it's all my fault!I'm sorry for An Lu!Let her be like this!But I'll marry her!I'll take good care of her for the rest of my life!I'll protect her and won't let her get hurt again!" He said and turned in the direction of An Lu, "Lulu, Brother Wen Hao's fault! Brother Wen Hao is sorry for you! Wait until you're okay, Brother Wen Hao will take you home! We can still have children in the future! If you want to have a few children, okay?"
"You bastard!Who wants to have a baby with you?!" An Jinghong clenched his fists and smashed Zhong Wenhao in the face.
Zhong Wenhao didn't hide, let An Jinghong beat him, and continued to beg Mr. Smith while being beaten one by one: "It's all my fault! It has nothing to do with the Zhong family! Mr. Smith, you can't do this! I do everything I want to do by myself! You can do whatever you want from me! I just ask you to consider the interests of the development of Pilong Island again! You can't cut off everyone's common financial route just because of one woman!"
Tong Qiangqiang thought that Zhong Wenhao was really in a hurry, so he tried to trap and persuade Mr. Smith from all angles so recklessly. But what he said was uncomfortable even for Tong Qiangqiang to listen to, so how could Mr. Smith be comfortable?
Mr. Smith took two steps back, and the expression on his face became more and more unsightly.
Zhong Wenhao kowtowed on the ground as if he was out of the way. Kowtow to An Lu, kowtow to An Jinghong, and even more kowtow to Mr. Smith.
In Tong Qiangqiang's eyes, no matter how bad Zhong Wenhao is, at least he is a dignified man. But right now, he suddenly made Tong Qiangqiang feel sad.
As the eldest young master of the Zhong family, how could he have lowered his stature and humiliated himself so much?
"Get up for me!" a breathless command resounded in the ward.
Several people heard the voice, and Zhong Yuanshan appeared at the door of the ward at some point. On the side, Zhu Jinhua was red-eyed, and trotted to Zhong Wenhao's side quickly, trying to pull him up from the ground.
Zhong Yuanshan's voice was full of anger, probably doing his best at the moment, and he coughed violently as soon as he finished shouting, but fortunately he quickly suppressed it.
Zhong Yuanshan waved his hand, Sun Xian pushed Zhong Yuanshan in, stopped next to Zhong Wenhao, scolded coldly "embarrassing", immediately looked at Mr. Smith, and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Mr. Smith, I am the chairman of the Zhong Group, Zhong Yuanshan." β
Mr. Smith shook hands with Zhong Yuanshan: "Hello, Mr. Zhong. β
Zhong Yuanshan withdrew his hand and said sincerely: "I didn't expect our first meeting to be in this situation. I apologize to you on behalf of the Zhong family and the Zhong family. And as Wen Hao's grandfather, I need to say sorry to you even more. β
Zhong Yuanshan lowered his head slightly.
His identity, everyone present could not afford this great gift. Mr. Smith understands, of course. Hurriedly bent down slightly: "Mr. Zhong, you don't need to be like this. I am not an indistinguishable person who distinguishes between right and wrong, and we do not have the so-called concept of 'father and son repayment' as you Chinese. β
Zhong Yuanshan raised his head again: "I know." But I am Chinese, and what I should show should be expressed. β
Immediately, he turned his head to look at An Lu, and then asked Mr. Smith: "Regarding the termination of cooperation, you have already decided, and it is imperative, right?"
Mr. Smith nodded.
"Okay, then please send a formal letter of termination. We will also follow the procedure to claim compensation. β
"Grandpa!" Zhong Wenhao was incredulous at Zhong Yuanshan's easy compromise.
"Shut up!" Zhong Yuanshan squinted at Zhong Wenhao coldly, and reprimanded him with hatred that iron is not made of steel, "Since ancient times, there has been no reason to force buying and selling in business. And our Zhong family will not go out of business because of this cooperation!"
Tong Qiangqiang was also surprised. She thought that Zhong Yuanshan personally went out to fight for it again, but she didn't expect it to be so simple.
Mr. Smith's face also had a hint of surprise on his face, and he quickly smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhong, for your understanding." You can rest assured. On the media side, I will not disclose the reasons for the termination of our cooperation. After all, it's a disgraceful thing for both of us. β
Over there, Zhu Jinhua looked at An Lu for a while, noticed that she was wrong, and asked An Jinghong with concern: "Lulu, she is ...... now."
An Jinghong said coldly and perfunctorily: "She's fine." β
Zhu Jinhua looked back at An Lu suspiciously, and knew in his heart that An Jinghong should be reluctant to say it.
She took a step closer, and wanted to talk to An Lu, but An Jinghong reacted quickly to block it, as if she was afraid that Zhu Jinhua would be unfavorable to An Lu.
Zhu Jinhua's expression was rather gloomy: "The children have already been formed...... The doctor said it was a boy......"
An Jinghong didn't eat the oil and salt, and asked unceremoniously: "So what? What are you trying to do now?"
Zhu Jinhua's gaze swept towards Tong Qiangqiang intentionally or unintentionally at this time, and the awe-inspiring hatred in his eyes flashed quickly. Immediately, her gaze shifted to Mr. Smith, "Please apologize to Mrs. Smith on my behalf." β
Everyone was shocked to learn that Mrs. Smith was An Lu's mother. If nothing happens, the Zhong family will be able to marry Mr. Smith. A good thing that rejoices and rejoices, but it ......
Mr. Smith did not respond.
Zhu Jinhua was a little swept away by him, and he was stunned slightly. Still asked: "Lulu likes our family Wen Hao very much, the two children were going to get married before, and now the children are gone, butββ"
"Shut up!" Zhong Yuanshan shouted angrily, "You still have the face to mention this?!"
Zhong Wenhao is also unwilling to give up this relationship, the matter of the cooperation case was mastered by Zhong Yuanshan, and it will inevitably not be able to turn around, but marrying An Lu, he is now imperative, and then his mother's words, he fought for Mr. Smith: "Mr. Smith, Lulu and I really like each other." β
He wanted to say, "I don't believe you asked Lulu", but looking at An Lu's appearance couldn't help him at all, he asked An Jinghong instead: "That day in the Zhong Mansion, you heard and saw with your own ears, Lulu promised to marry me, didn't you?"
An Jinghong seemed to be extremely enraged by Zhong Wenhao's shamelessness, and swung a fist into Zhong Wenhao's face again: "She was bewitched by you brute! Brute! Brute! I have to kill you today!"
He grabbed Zhong Wenhao's neckline, punched one punch after another, and beat Zhong Wenhao to the point that he staggered back again and again.
"Wen Hao!" Zhu Jinhua was so anxious that he couldn't do it, but when he glanced at Zhong Yuanshan, although his face was blue, he didn't mean to stop it at all, and his heart was cold, so he could only go up and block it himself, choking and shouting: "Stop fighting! Don't fight anymore! Do you want to make the deer uneasy?"
An Jinghong was touched by Zhu Jinhua's words, let go of Zhong Wenhao's collar, and said angrily: "Get out of here!"
Suddenly without shackles, Zhong Wenhao almost fell, but fortunately held on to the back of the sofa in time.
Within sight, a pair of feet retreated sharply because of his approach.
Zhong Wenhao looked up and saw Tong Qiangqiang caressing his bulging lower abdomen to avoid him.
All the anger in his heart seemed to have suddenly found an outlet, and he suddenly bullied forward: "It's all you! It's all you and Han Lie! You say! Do you already know An Lu's identity?! You deliberately look at my jokes, right?! It's all you and Han Lie who teamed up to frame me! To frame me!"
Too suddenly, Tong Qiangqiang was grabbed by Zhong Wenhao's shoulders. He glared at her, shook her body, and questioned her viciously.
Several people around had a bad premonition. Ah Hua was the first to urgently exclaim, "Miss Tong!"
An Jinghong, who was closest to him, hurriedly stepped forward to pull Zhong Wenhao away, Zhong Wenhao was like crazy, one hand was still on Tong Qiangqiang's sleeve and he was unwilling to let go, and he just cursed in his mouth, "Slut!"
Mr. Smith helped Tong Qiangqiang hold Zhong Wenhao's hand.
Zhu Jinhua saw that his son was about to die by An Jinghong's arm, so he grabbed one of An Jinghong's arms in a panic.
An Jinghong Huo Ran waved his arm to shake off Zhu Jinhua, Zhu Jinhua didn't stand firm, and bumped Tong Qiangqiang, but knocked Tong Qiangqiang away from Zhong Wenhao's restraints.
However, Tong Qiangqiang was forced to retreat again and again, but his heel didn't know what he tripped, his center of gravity was unstable, and he suddenly fell backwards.
