It may be that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and I don't know the identities of those people, so I have been smiling politely at them.

Zhuang Yan was used to being calm, except for the soft gasp when he entered the door, he was still as usual when dealing with people.

The two tables were in a large box, and the atmosphere was originally a little depressing, like the aura of many people colliding, creating a series of silent gunsmoke in a small space. Some people raised their hands towards Qin Shoucheng and saluted, some people shook hands with him with a smile, and the people at the two tables were all middle-aged and elderly without exception.

Whenever Qin Shoucheng greeted one of them, he would ask me to call them uncle or uncle. After Lele went to school, he became more and more afraid of life, and he came to my ear several times and asked, "Mom, should I call him grandpa?"

Because the box was a little noisy, his voice was very loud, and Qin Shoucheng nodded her little nose with a smile every time: "Yes, all of them are called grandpa." ”

As soon as he opened the banquet, he raised his glass and introduced me to the people present: "This little girl's name is Shen Xi, the goddaughter I recognized some time ago, and I will be my daughter in the future, and I will gather with you today, just to bring you recognition......"

When Qin Shoucheng contacted them to come over for dinner, he should have said this in advance, because they stuffed me with red envelopes one after another, and some of them were quite bulging.

I didn't dare to answer, and subconsciously looked at Zhuang Yan.

Fortunately, Qin Shoucheng coughed out at this time: "You don't know my temperament, the first time the two juniors saw that you elders didn't have time to prepare things for filial piety, you gave the money first? ”

Towards the end of the banquet, Qin Shoucheng's wife and Qin Ye also came over.

As soon as his wife saw me, she immediately took my hand and looked me up and down happily, I couldn't tell if she really wanted a daughter to be so enthusiastic, or if she was giving Qin Shoucheng face.

It is said that a woman after marriage is unhappy can be seen from her face, she has kind eyebrows, a disc face, and two deep dimples at the corners of her mouth when she smiles, which is particularly good. She especially likes Lele, and she kisses and touches her in her arms, not to mention how happy she is.

Qin Ye's wife went to Xinjiang for a few years, so the two of them delayed the progress of having children, so she liked my two children so much.

Qin Ye's face was not good from the moment he entered the door, and after he had a round of drinking, he walked up to me and gritted his teeth and whispered: "Shen Xi, you can do it, there are a lot of means, you can actually let my father support you, you ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhuang Yan's hand suddenly put on his shoulder, and secretly forced, taking Qin Ye's entire body aside two steps: "According to seniority, I seem to be your brother-in-law." But I'm older than you, and I'll call me by my name in the future, so I hope you don't mind. ”

Zhuang Yan's eyes were cold, and I knew that he must have remembered the stupid things Zhuang Xiaoting had done.

Qin Shoucheng knew the grievances between them, and coughed next to him to remind him, and I quickly glanced at Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan knew the measure, and quickly let go of Qin Ye's shoulder, I saw Qin Ye twist his shoulder slightly, Zhuang Yan obviously used force just now, pinching him.

Qin Boyu stood in line with Heizi, and Qin Ye played for Baizi students before, they each stood in a pair, no matter which side wins in the future, the Qin family will not fall. This is something I only figured out later, I don't know if this abacus is too shrewd, but I have to admire Qin Boyu's scheming.

At the beginning, Zhuang Xiaoting was introduced by Qin Ye into the circle, and almost all of them sided with Bai Zi, but Qin Ye had already been dismissed at that time, so I guess he was so threatened by Zhuang Xiaoting at that time because he wanted to push her into the fire pit and find out which people were really towards Bai Zi's students. The other girls who accompany the wine, the smarter ones will be tight-lipped, and Qin Ye doesn't dare to take the risk of casually finding someone to help him, so Zhuang Xiaoting is the best candidate.

Thinking of this, when I looked at Qin Ye's face again, I felt a wave of nausea in my heart.

After the banquet, Zhuang Yan took us home with a stack of business cards.

In the car, he read the business card while telling me the origin of those people, it is estimated that half of them had been comrades-in-arms with Qin Shoucheng, their comrades-in-arms in that era were deeply meaningful, Qin Shoucheng once mentioned the matter of almost dying in the flood fight, judging from the conversation at the dinner table, these people are likely to have a fatal friendship with him.

But these people have all gone into business after retiring from the army, and those who come here today are all successful people in the business world.

The other table is more miscellaneous, from all walks of life, Zhuang Yan said that one of the old people is Song Qianxiu's grandfather!

The people in Qin Shoucheng's circle are very good, no wonder Song Qianxiu was so powerful before.

"Heehi, after a while, I want to get back into business. ”

A person like Zhuang Yan, as long as he does not slump after failure, the possibility of a comeback will be much larger than that of ordinary people, because he has connections and abilities. The most important thing in doing business is networking, and today I just expanded a group of contacts, and I knew that there was a boom in his heart when I looked at his eyes.

Because Qin Shoucheng didn't say anything to Zhuang Yan and them not to go against "Chen Shimei", Zhuang Yan and Jiang Yang stabbed out his wife forcing me to write an IOU and going to the kindergarten to "kidnap" Lele according to the previous plan. The reporters Jiang Yang found were easy to solve, as long as they gave money to break the news, they didn't dare to write their biological father's name directly, and all the pseudonyms they used, but a discerning person could guess who it was if he thought about it carefully.

This incident is definitely not the most powerful chess piece to dispel the forces of "Yue Buqun", but it can become one of the straws that crush the camel.

After watching the changes for three days, various posts began to appear on major forums on the Internet, starting with the illegitimate daughter of "Chen Shimei", and then following the posts to naturally explode a bunch of his black material. It's hard to tell if it's true or fake, but I was told that I might be harassed before Zhuang Yan decided to fight back.

I was a victim in the incident, and everyone's spearhead was mainly focused on the topic of "corrupt officials", so it didn't have much impact on me for the time being.

I don't know if anyone has heard of Internet PR, Zhuang Yan said that it should be Heizi who decided to start first, so he found Internet PR to buy a water army to build momentum. Sometimes things in officialdom have nothing to do with justice, and if some people have to step down, any reason may become a stumbling block to their failure.

When Bao Yuanyuan came to look for me, I was working in the company, and when I went to look for her in the lounge, she was looking at the scenery outside the window and smiled back at me.

She was wearing a dark tweed coat and a big red scarf, and her long hair, which was almost waist-length, was cut short to her collarbone, and sprinkled casually and lazily around her neck, and the whole person seemed to be two years younger suddenly.

I couldn't say anything, so I quickly ran over and hugged her fiercely: "Where have you been?" Brother Jiang has been looking for you, I have sent you so many messages, but you don't reply, I am ...... to death."

Her complexion was very good, and the smile between her eyebrows was faint, as if she had really returned to herself: "Xixi, there are some things that you may never know." My love and marriage have failed, and I don't want to listen to your comfort, that's why I disappeared for so long. ”

"You ......" I looked around to find the baby, and I always felt that she wouldn't really want the child.

When I tried to slide down to her flat belly, she immediately understood what I wanted to ask: "Child, it's gone." Didn't Jiang Yang tell you?"

I shivered violently, staring at her with wide glasses for a long time, trying to find even the slightest flaw in her plain and calm face. I have been looking forward to her reunion with Jiang Yang, after she left, Jiang Yang changed, and no longer likes wandering flowers, which is exactly what Bao Yuanyuan once wanted him most.

I anxiously told her about Jiang Yang's changes and told her that Jiang Yang missed her, but she seemed to be listening to a stranger's story and shook her head: "Xixi, I met a person who came back this time to get a divorce certificate with Jiang Yang." Did I tell you that I have no more than three things? Before I married Jiang Yang, I broke up with him twice, and this time I mentioned divorce for the third time. ”

Her calmness made my heart palpitate, but I saw in her eyes an indescribable firmness.

She has always been assertive about her own affairs, and I read the long paragraph she sent me many times, and I saw her determination in it. In fact, I have long known that it will be difficult for her to get back together with Jiang Yang, but I am unwilling to accept this fact.

Both ends are people I feel sorry for, I can't help anyone to speak, and after hesitating for a while, I finally chose to be silent.

She told me that she had traveled a lot during this time, and when she finally stopped, she met a man whom she admired. Yes, it's pure appreciation, it's very chatty. She had just gone through a failed marriage and would not be so quick to commit to a new relationship.

"Hee-hee, maybe I'll develop with this guy, but maybe a long time later. I really can't go back to Jiang Yang, there are some roads, I can't turn back if I choose, life is so helpless, my biggest luxury was to try to let him change for me. The right relationship will make you try to change for the better, but I just wanted to try to change myself to cater to him, and that wasn't the marriage I wanted......"

For more than half a year, she turned Bao Yuanyuan, who would cry and be disappointed, back into a cold and intellectual beauty when she first met. After her calmness, how much sadness and sadness are hidden that I don't know?

I didn't bother with the purpose of her return, there was still an hour before I got off work, so I asked for leave to take her home to see the two children.

After arriving home, Jiang Yang was actually playing with Lele, and the little girl's giggling laughter filled the entire living room. When his eyes looked straight towards the door, he happened to collide with Bao Yuanyuan's line of sight.

"Yuan...... Yuanyuan, when are you coming back?" he stood up suddenly, his eyes subconsciously glancing at Bao Yuanyuan's stomach.

Bao Yuanyuan still smiled faintly: "Just returned." It's okay that you're here, have you signed the agreement? Are you free tomorrow, let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. ”
