But when I saw the woman standing outside the door with her arms folded, her hair was meticulously coiled, she was wearing a white sequined dress, and she was carrying a black and white striped chain bag on her shoulder, and she looked very imposing.

"Sister Ruzhen?" Tong Qiangqiang opened the door in surprise.

Zhong Ruzhen smiled coldly: "Aren't you Miss Liang, why do you recognize me again?"

Tong Qiangqiang just didn't hear her taunt: "Sister Ruzhen, why are you here?"

Zhong Ruzhen's tone was still piercing and mean: "Didn't I hear that a woman who had been missing for three years suddenly came back with a different identity, I always have to take a look at the real person." ”

As she spoke, her eyes went up and down, left and right.

Tong Qiangqiang stood slightly embarrassed, letting her scrutinize. In fact, Tong Qiangqiang probably guessed that Zhong Ruzhen learned about her from Han Lie.

"You're going to let me stand like this?" Zhong Ruzhen frowned in displeasure.

Tong Qiangqiang hurriedly turned sideways and made his debut.

Zhong Ruzhen stepped on his high heels, swaggered inside, looked twice, and sat down on the sofa.

"Sister Ruzhen came over so early, did you have breakfast, do you need to drink something?" Tong Qiangqiang subconsciously walked to the minibar.

"No need. Zhong Ruzhen refused, "I'm here to urge you to get up." Hurry up and pack up and go back to the city together in a while. ”

Tong Qiangqiang was slightly stunned.

"What's the matter?

Without waiting for Tong Qiangqiang to answer, Zhong Ruzhen's delicate eyebrows were gently raised. He continued, "Then I am unfortunate to inform you that I am the assistant manager of Hyatt Suites Rongcheng, and I will be responsible for the liaison with you during your visit to Hyatt Court. ”

Tong Qiangqiang blinked his eyes: "You are working in Xiyue Court now?"

If she remembers correctly, Zhong Ruzhen seems to have been engaged in the advertising industry before.

"Uh-huh. Zhong Ruzhen spread his hands, "Is there any problem?"

"Nope. Tong Qiangqiang shook his head, "No problem at all." The next few days will be in trouble. ”

What should I say about her relationship with Zhong Ruzhen...... In fact, it is in a very strange state. In terms of kinship, Zhong Ruzhen is her former sister-in-law, and aside from the Zhong family, it seems to be a general friend and friend. And she was able to endure Zhong Ruzhen's poisonous tongue and meanness, and even, she was faintly afraid of Zhong Ruzhen, and she couldn't resist her so far.

Therefore, now that Zhong Ruzhen came to "invite" her in person, Tong Qiangqiang really didn't dare to throw his face like he did with Mai Xiuze.

Tong Qiangqiang's nerves finally relaxed after a night's tense, and his mood was much lighter.

When she and Zhong Ruzhen went downstairs, it was almost nine o'clock. In the lobby of the hotel, Mai Xiuze seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and took the initiative to come forward to help Tong Qiangqiang pull the suitcase, Tong Qiangqiang didn't like to trouble others, not to mention that the suitcase in her hand was not particularly heavy, so she refused directly.

Mai Xiuze sighed: "Why do you like to steal men's jobs so much now?"

Tong Qiangqiang simply said to Zhong Ruzhen Nunu: "If you want to help so much, go and pick up the one in Sister Ruzhen's hand." ”

She and Yan Xi went out this time with two suitcases, and Yan Xi only took away part of the clothes and backpacks, but did not bring suitcases. As soon as she went downstairs to the elevator, Zhong Ruzhen helped her pull another one.

I don't know what's going on, after the words came out, Tong Qiangqiang saw Mai Xiuze and Zhong Ruzhen glance at each other, and then a trace of embarrassment flashed on Zhong Ruzhen's face.

Mai Xiuze was also a little different from usual, and paused for two or three seconds. After only two steps, he gentlemanly wanted to take the suitcase from Zhong Ruzhen's hand, and his tone was no longer hippie when he talked to Tong Qiangqiang: "I'll come." ”

"No, I don't. Zhong Ruzhen refused lightly, and turned sideways slightly, avoiding Mai Xiuze.

Mai Xiuze didn't insist, put his hands in his trouser pockets, turned around and said to Tong Qiangqiang: "Let's go, the car is waiting outside." ”

After speaking, Mai Xiuze took the lead and left. Zhong Ruzhen followed in silence. Tong Qiangqiang walked at the end, furrowing his eyebrows, his eyes wandering back and forth between them, how to look at it, how to feel that the atmosphere between the two was very strange.

However, when he walked out of the door of the hotel and saw Han Lie leaning against the car door waiting, Tong Qiangqiang was in no mood to explore the strangeness between Mai Xiuze and Zhong Ruzhen.

I didn't see Han Lie in the lobby just now, Tong Qiangqiang thought that he wasn't with them, but it turned out that he was outside.

His gaze gently swept over Tong Qiangqiang, turned around to pick up the suitcase in Zhong Ruzhen's hand, and put it in the trunk.

Mai Xiuze came back to Tong Qiangqiang: "You always need my help now, right?"

Tong Qiangqiang glanced at Mai Xiuze, dragged the suitcase to the back of the car, and lifted the suitcase to the trunk himself.

After Han Lie put Zhong Ruzhen's suitcase, he left the back of the car and went back to the passenger seat, not only did he not say a word, but he also did not give Tong Qiangqiang a hand.

Mai Xiuze looked at this scene of ignoring each other, and helped his forehead with a headache. As soon as he turned his head and collided with Zhong Ruzhen's line of sight, Zhong Ruzhen almost immediately lowered his eyes and called Tong Qiangqiang to sit in the back seat of the car together.

Mai Xiuze felt more and more headaches, sighed silently, and sat in the driver's seat.

Four people sat in the car, and it was quiet all the way.

Fortunately, Tong Qiangqiang didn't have any desire to speak, and always looked at the scenery outside the window, in a daze. After a while, she retracted her gaze, unconsciously slid off the screen of her mobile phone, and suddenly found that in WeChat, Yan Xi replied to her a minute ago: I am already in Beijing. All is well. Don't read it.

The nerves that had been tense all night finally relaxed, and the haze in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot, and Tong Qiangqiang's lips unconsciously hooked a light smile.

Han Lie in the passenger seat, through the rearview mirror, saw Tong Qiangqiang staring at the mobile phone screen with a smile on her face, and the ring on her left ring finger was particularly dazzling.

Han Lie's eyes sank, and he looked out the window with his face away.

After a little over an hour, we arrived at Hyatt Court.

Han Lie and Mai Xiuze seemed to have other things to do, and left after sending Tong Qiangqiang and Zhong Ruzhen away.

Zhong Ruzhen was responsible for bringing Tong Qiangqiang to the room prepared for her, starting from the door, all the way to the hotel waiters respectfully greeted Zhong Ruzhen, "Hello Manager Zhong", Zhong Ruzhen had a faint expression, and at first glance he was a leader who loved to put on a show.

Knowing that Zhong Ruzhen's character is like this, Tong Qiangqiang still can't help but want to laugh.

Zhong Ruzhen is finishing the floor of the elevator. Through the mirror, he caught Tong Qiangqiang's smile that he didn't have time to hide, and raised his eyebrows unhappily and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tong Qiangqiang naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to confess what he wanted to scold, so he asked, "It seems that people from the outside world don't know that the boss behind Xiyue Court is Han Lie, right?"

Zhong Ruzhen hooked his lips: "Do you think that if the people inside the Zhong family knew that the boss of Xiyue Court was an uncle, they would let Xiyue Court squeeze the hotels under the Zhong Group? ”

Tong Qiangqiang frowned.

In the past three years, even if she doesn't deliberately understand it, she can often browse the news about Zhong's family, so she has a general understanding of Zhong's current situation. Although there is no obvious confirmation on the position. But everyone has already tacitly assumed that Han Lie is the most powerful leader of the Zhong family, and after experiencing two successive fluctuations in the capital chain three years ago, Zhong's industry has inevitably shrunk slowly in the past three years, and has concentrated financial resources on the cooperation in the development of Plang Island. With the loss of one or the other, Chung is now losing its competitiveness even in the hotel industry.

Han Lie Mingli manages Zhong's hotel, and secretly uses Hyatt Court to squeeze Zhong's and beat himself. Oh, it turns out that he is still reluctant to completely tear his face with the people of the Zhong family.

"Since you're working at Hyatt Court. So you're helping Han Lie?" Tong Qiangqiang's hand was half-propped on the lever, looking at Zhong Ruzhen, who was standing with his back against the wall of the car. She still remembers Zhong Ruzhen's ambivalence when the Zhong family was in crisis due to tax evasion. Now that you have already taken a firm stand and stood on the opposite side of the Zhong family with Han Lie?

Zhong Ruzhen was silent for two seconds, and asked rhetorically: "Do you know what the specific situation of the Zhong family is now?"

This time it was Tong Qiangqiang's turn to be silent. She really didn't know. I'm not interested in knowing.

Tong Qiangqiang didn't answer, and then asked rhetorically: "So you already know Han Lie's true face?"

Zhong Ruzhen felt a little amused: "What do you mean by 'Han Lie's true face'?"

"He ......," Tong Qiangqiang paused, "Han Lie came back to destroy the Zhong family. ”

Zhong Ruzhen hooked his lips: "If I say." When my uncle first returned to the Zhong family, I knew about it?"

Tong Qiangqiang frowned slightly: "Did he tell you?" or ...... You've been with him since the beginning?"

"Do you think that with Uncle Xiao's character, he will take the initiative to tell me the purpose of his return to Zhong's house? Shouldn't you know Uncle better than I do?" Zhong Ruzhen maintained a smile on his lips.

Tong Qiangqiang was silent.

Zhong Ruzhen hugged his arms: "You can't hide it." Uncle once suspected that your disappearance was done by the Zhong family's insiders, and after investigating for a long time, I helped me. I know what your relationship is with him. ”

Tong Qiangqiang pursed his lips and emphasized two words: "Once." ”

Zhong Ruzhen felt amused again, shrugged his shoulders, and said again with a deliberate sneer: "Ok, I know that you and him used to be in a relationship between men and women. ”

The words "relationship between men and women" turned around in Tong Qiangqiang's heart. The relationship between her and Han Lie was indeed ridiculous. What is it? A nephew is not a nephew, and a girlfriend is not a girlfriend. The only thing he ever admitted was that she was his woman. It's only because he deceived her mind and body.

The fingers hanging on the side of his legs couldn't help curling, and the fingers holding the lever unconsciously clenched for several points, Tong Qiangqiang opened his face and lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes.

Zhong Ruzhen probably smelled some changes in her from her silence, and returned to the question that Tong Qiangqiang asked before: "Actually, I guessed it myself." In the early days. Hu Xiaoting had three children before giving birth to Zhong Ruchen and Zhong Runing, I shouldn't have known. It was revealed to me by my uncle. I was not an accomplice of my uncle, but from the beginning, he never deliberately concealed his hostility towards the Zhong family from me. ”

Tong Qiangqiang's eyelids jumped slightly.

Zhong Ruzhen straightened his body, changed his foot to exert his strength, and then leaned back into the car, and continued: "Because I have long guessed the purpose of Uncle Xiao's desire to destroy the Zhong family, I have always been a thoughtful bystander. In due course. Be a-stirring stick. For example, the time An Lu rolled down the stairs, I just deliberately failed to act. Well, from this point of view, I can be understood as my uncle's accomplice. Or, you can also understand me as one of my uncle's pawns. ”

The word "chess piece" made Tong Qiangqiang stiffen his back sensitively.

The elevator reached their floor with a "ding".

"I volunteered, though. Zhong Ruzhen smiled coldly, picked up the suitcase, and stepped out of the elevator first.

Arranged for Tong Qiangqiang. It is a superior suite, large and spacious and well equipped.

As soon as he entered the door, Tong Qiangqiang first took off his shoes and socks at the entrance, stepped on the floor with his bare feet, first turned around slightly, and when he returned to the entrance, he hooked his feet and looked at the soles of his feet.

Clean. There was no hair or debris on it, and there was no discomfort on the soles of my feet during the barefoot walk.

"What's the matter? After Miss Liang's preliminary investigation, are you still satisfied with this room?" Zhong Ruzhen asked leaning against the wall with one shoulder and in his usual mocking tone.

Tong Qiangqiang curled the corners of his lips, took out a pair of hotel slippers from the shoe cabinet in the entrance and put them on, and pulled two suitcases into the bedroom.

Zhong Ruzhen reminded her behind her: "Just put a luggage, don't toss it first." I have to move on to the next trip. ”

Tong Qiangqiang was suspicious: "Isn't it still arranged?"

She and Zhong Ruzhen just connected. She has her own plan for the investigation project, and then she can get Zhong Ruzhen to cooperate with her.

"I'm not talking about your inspection itinerary. Zhong Ruzhen was in the middle of speaking, and there was a knock on the door. Zhong Ruzhen turned his head and hooked his lips and said to Tong Qiangqiang: "They are here." ”

Tong Qiangqiang walked over to answer the door in confusion.

"Sister~" "Miss Liang." ”

Shi Xiao and Maggie greeted each other at the same time and smiled at Tong Qiangqiang.

Tong Qiangqiang was slightly stunned: "You ......"

Shi Xiao has already walked in and took the initiative to hook up with Tong Qiangqiang's shoulder: "Of course we are here to play with you~ Three years, three years, you rarely come back, how can you not play with us?

After speaking, seeing that Tong Qiangqiang didn't react, Shi Xiao's expression shrugged: "Are you really so ruthless?

Tong Qiangqiang: "......"

The self-ripening and snorting skills of this stone shino are even more unbearable than before......

Staring at Shi Xiao's tears, Tong Qiangqiang naturally couldn't really say that she was self-inflicted. Although she really didn't plan to see the old people in Rongcheng at first, but they were all here, she couldn't drive them away, right?

Tong Qiangqiang was a little helpless, and his eyes turned around Zhong Ruzhen, Maggie and Shi Xiao: "So what's the next arrangement?" Soon she cautiously added again, "It should be only you." No one else, right?"

"Ofcourse!" Shi Xiao put away her tears almost instantly, and cheered: "Today is our four women's own party~"

The four of them quickly went from the hotel to the nearest shopping mall in Rongcheng.

When it comes to shopping, women will never be able to easily control their desires. Tong Qiangqiang just didn't want to spoil their interest at first, but after she really shopped, she still bought two of Dior's latest summer dresses.

And she was already the most restrained among them, seeing that Shi Xiao was almost going to try on the clothes of the whole store, Tong Qiangqiang couldn't help but pull Maggie's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Why does Shi Xiao look like he hasn't been shopping for months?"

"Miss Liang. You guessed it. Maggie smiled, "Shi Xiao and I are actually on Mr. Mai's side. Mr. Han has never been surrounded by secretaries and assistants, but many times, Mr. Han needs an assistant for many things, and the only ones who can use and trust him are me and Shi Xiao. After all, I have been working for many years, and Shi Xiao just graduated last year and officially joined the company. is often anxious, Mr. Han's requirements are high, and she is not close to people, she has been tortured to a little nervous breakdown. ”

Tong Qiangqiang frowned very lightly, automatically ignored the part of Han Lie mentioned by Maggie, and only fixed the conversation on Shi Xiao, muttering: "It doesn't seem to be tortured too badly." I think her personality is still as outgoing as before. ”

At the end of the day, she didn't forget to correct Maggie: "You don't need to call me Miss Liang, just call me Liang Yin." ”

From the moment she was in the hotel, Maggie called her "Miss Liang" instead of "Miss Tong" in the first sentence, Tong Qiangqiang found out that someone must have told Maggie what she called her now.

Zhong Ruzhen came out in a black bandeau slim skirt at this time, which was extremely sexy, and Shi Xiao kept envying her figure on the side.

Tong Qiangqiang remembered to ask Maggie the question she was embarrassed to ask Zhong Ruzhen before: "Do you know that Sister Ruzhen is still alone?"

She hasn't forgotten the child whose father was unknown that Zhong Ruzhen lost three years ago.

Maggie glanced at Zhong Ruzhen before answering Tong Qiangqiang with a smile: "This kind of private question, Miss Zhong herself knows best." ”

Tong Qiangqiang only felt that Maggie's smile was a little strange.

Halfway through, the four of them had a meal at a restaurant in the mall. Continue to visit the mall. After it was dark, at the instigation of Shi Xiao and the approval of Zhong Ruzhen and Maggie, Tong Qiangqiang went to the bar with them again.

In the past three years, C'blue has been doing better and better, and it has become more lively, and it is obviously just the time when the bar has just opened, and it is almost full. Fortunately, Mai Xiuze was a platinum-level guest here, and as soon as Maggie came out, they quickly sat in the booth.

It's amazing, in fact, Tong Qiangqiang, Zhong Ruzhen, Maggie, and Shi Xiao are not familiar with each other. In her own definition, she has neither relatives nor friends in Rongcheng. But if you really want to say that after living in Rongcheng for more than ten years, the only people she has really come into contact with are indeed these three women, plus An Jinghong and An Lu, brothers and sisters.

After a day of trouble, Tong Qiangqiang had unilaterally regarded these three women as friends in his heart. Maybe the atmosphere is due to the atmosphere, or maybe because of the matter of Yan Xi's grandfather's house in the past two days, the mood is a little heavy, and it is rare to relax, Tong Qiangqiang will follow the three of them, how to come, for the three of them to be curious about her life in the past three years, she can say as much as she can.

And the three of them have more intersections between work and life on weekdays, and after a few glasses of wine, they began to complain unconsciously about their bad things, staggering to and fro, Tong Qiangqiang looked funny.

However, as a result of indulging the three of them like this, Tong Qiangqiang wanted to find someone to accompany her to the bathroom, but no one could stand steadily.

Tong Qiangqiang glanced around.

Clusters of light were projected in all directions, shining on the faces of men and women, and the beams were not very bright in the first place, and her night blindness made her even more difficult to see.

Tong Qiangqiang had no choice but to call a girl who sold alcohol, stuffed her with a tip, and asked her to help take her to the bathroom.

The process went quite smoothly. also because Tong Qiang had a lot of money, and the other party also helped her get to the cubicle in the bathroom. Tong Qiangqiang wondered if the other party thought she was blind.

Just thinking about it, her ears suddenly caught the ambiguous woman's coquettish voice and the man's gasp in the compartment next to her, Tong Qiangqiang sat on the toilet, and the movement was separated by a door panel, and then suddenly one of them seemed to be pressed on the door panel.

The woman was obviously a little upset: "Fuck off! Is it so bad? Get out of the way! I don't have time to play with you! This is the women's toilet!"

"I just want to you here. You're my bitch! How can I fuck you!" The man scolded, his movements seemed a little rough, and it was very clear on the door panel.

"The old lady is just unhappy, how are you!"

This was followed by a push and shovel.

Tong Qiangqiang was a little stunned. Because the voices of both men were familiar to her.

Shaking back to her senses, she hurriedly put on her pants, opened the door on her side and walked out.

At this moment, there was a man's cry of pain next door.

In the next moment, the door next door was pushed out from the inside, and a man flipped out from the inside, fell to the ground, and fell in front of Tong Qiangqiang.

From such a distance, Tong Qiangqiang could still see him clearly.

His face was not very good, and when the colorful beams of light shone on his face, she could clearly see his sunken blue and black eye sockets, and his dull and gray complexion.

To be honest, Tong Qiangqiang couldn't believe that Zhong Wenhao had become like this now.

He couldn't say how handsome and chic he was before, but he was also well-dressed and looked like a dog.

Zhong Wenhao was still lying on the ground, his expression was a little painful, touching his waist, as if he was caught by the small steps of the upper and lower steps. Scolded into the compartment: "Slut!"

The woman in the cubicle walked out at this moment, her clothes were still a little messy, and the makeup on her face was heavy, but she was as amorous as ever.

Probably out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a person next to him, Hou Ling's gaze swept over, he didn't recognize Tong Qiangqiang for a while, he quickly swept away, and looked back two seconds later, his expression was slightly surprised, and he looked at Tong Qiangqiang: "It's you?"

Zhong Wenhao on the ground also looked at Tong Qiangqiang when he heard this, and he didn't recognize Tong Qiangqiang at first sight, and he was stunned for a moment.
