After Shen Boteng left, I sat at the round table and poured myself a cup of tea slowly, relieving my wine.

Feeling that his head was a little clearer, he walked towards the hanger with slight steps, took the coat from the top and put himself on meticulously, and pushed them out of the box.

I stopped a car outside the teahouse. After getting into the car, Shen Bowen called, and his voice was full of smiles and said, "Good job." ”

I poked my knee in the window of the car and said tiredly, "You're doing a good job of fanning the flames." ”

Shen Bowen said: "However, according to Shen Boteng's cleverness, he won't know what is going on." ”

I said, "It doesn't matter, I'll just beat me to death and not admit it." ”

Shen Bowen said: "Need help? ”

I said, "No, the worst is that he kills me." ”

Shen Bowen smiled and said, "That's not it, he definitely won't kill you." Shen Bowen added another sentence later: "But whether he will make your life worse than death, I don't know." ”

I said, "Photographs plus negatives." ”

Shen Bowen said: "According to the friendship between us, will I still harm you? ”

I sneered and said, "What kind of friendship do we have?" Do you want me to die for you with this little friendship? ”

Shen Bowen said: "Don't be sarcastic about me, don't be so angry, I've prepared things for you." It's in your room. ”

I said, "You got someone to go to my room?" ”

Shen Bowen said: "Otherwise, how can I hand over things to you?" Face? ”

I rubbed my brows and said, "Forget it, you should fight in front of Yuan Zi during this time, don't do all your work in vain." ”

Shen Bowen said: "Okay, I will make more use of it." ”

After we hung up the phone, I looked at the scenery outside the window in a long daze, and I was suddenly very curious about how Shen Boteng would coax Yuan Zi, instead of letting Yuan Zi know about our previous relationship, it was better to let her misunderstand our current relationship now. In the past, a woman can forgive, after all, it is in the past tense, but this kind of thing is happening, and it is during his relationship with her. was caught and raped by her in bed. It's a different story in this sense, even if it increases the risk of exposing me.

However, I am curious about what kind of choices and expressions Shen Boteng and Yuan Zi will have next, whether they choose to forgive or break up.

People like Yuan Zi are typically innocent and are too well protected by their families, so they imagine many things too beautifully, and love is sacred in their eyes. There should be no flaws, and the more they maintain a high degree of devotion to love, the more they can't see sand in their eyes.

And this time, the sand in her eyes is still angular.

It's hard to forgive.

After I returned to Shen's house and arrived at the room, I searched around the house, and finally found a box of things from under the quilt, and when I opened it, it was indeed a negative of the photo, plus some photos, I put it in my hand and looked at it a few times, and then I used a lighter to burn all the photos.

After all the qiē was over, I came out of Shen's house and went to the hospital again.

The next day I came out of the hospital, early in the morning to Shen Boteng's company to find him, but after arriving there, only Secretary Dai in the company in Shen Boteng's office to sort out the papers, and others are not in the company, I asked Secretary Dai where Shen Boteng went, Secretary Dai said to me, Shen Boteng since last night after leaving the company, has not been back, I heard this, pondered for a while, and then anxiously asked: "Can you help me contact him?" ”

Secretary Dai didn't seem to understand what was going on, and she asked puzzledly, "Do you have anything to look for him?" ”

I said, "Yes, something very important. ”

When Secretary Dai saw my anxious face, he thought something was really wrong, and he didn't dare to stay longer, so he said to me, "Wait a minute." I used the phone to contact Shen Boteng, after the phone called, someone over there answered, the person on the phone seemed to be Assistant Zhou, Secretary Dai and Assistant Zhou conveyed that I was looking for Shen Boteng and asked Assistant Zhou if Mr. Shen was by his side now.

I don't know what she said on the other end of the phone, I just stood there quietly waiting, and after Secretary Dai finished calling, she put down the mobile phone in her hand, turned around and said to me: "Mr. Shen is now drinking morning tea at Dongfeng Zhai, are you going to find him?" ”

I said, "Yes, I'm going to him." ”

Secretary Dai said, "Then I will write you the address and room number." ”

I nodded and said, "Thank you." ”

"No," she said, "it's just a gesture." ”

I stood there and waited, and Secretary Dai turned around and went to the table to find a box of pens and papers, and wrote down the address and room number for me.

After leaving Shen Boteng's company, I took the address to Dongfeng Zhai to find Shen Boteng, when I arrived there, Shen Boteng was having morning tea with the engineer of the shipyard, Assistant Zhou accompanied him behind, when he saw me standing at the door, he bent down and said something to Shen Boteng who was talking to the engineer, and Shen Boteng just raised his face and looked over, there was not much expression in his eyes, it was very light, and he faded out of the water.

Soon, as if he didn't see me, he lowered his head and continued to talk to the engineer about some details on the drawings that needed to be revised.

I knew that this morning tea might not be over so early, so I left from the door, went to a sofa in the hall for guests to rest, and waited for a long time, until Assistant Zhou led the engineer in charge of the engineering drawings of Shen's ship out of a corner.

After he sent people away, he glanced sideways at the sofa waiting for me, I immediately got up from the sofa and walked towards Assistant Zhou, I said, "I'm looking for Mr. Shen." ”

Assistant Zhou glanced at me and said, "Come with me." ”

I followed Assistant Zhou towards the private room, and after he sent me to the door, he didn't go in again, but stopped, I glanced at him, clenched my fist, and finally walked into the room.

Shen Boteng was waiting for me in the room, after I closed the door, my face turned white, biting my lip and slowly arrived in front of him, Shen Boteng looked at me, pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Sit." ”

I sat opposite him according to his words, Shen Boteng poured me a cup of tea, I held the cup a little nervously, and asked him, "How are things?" ”

Shen Boteng asked, "What are you asking?" ”

I asked worriedly, "Yesterday Yuan Zi ......"

Shen Boteng smiled and said, "You're worried? ”

I said, "I was sobering up and thinking about it, I didn't expect to be bumped into by her......"

Shen Boteng said: "Her plane last night flew abroad. ”

I was surprised and said, "She's gone?" ”

Shen Boteng said: "Well, it is estimated that it will take a while to be able to digest this matter." ”

I said, "Why aren't you in a hurry at all?" ”

Shen Boteng said: "Do you want me to be in a hurry? ”

I was a little embarrassed and said, "Of course not...... I was just. I thought about it for a moment and said, "I'm just thinking, after all, Yuan Zi is now your fiancée, and you should be nervous when this kind of thing happens." ”

Shen Boteng said: "Everything has happened, and the tension is irreparable, so it's better to wait for her to dissipate her anger." ”

I asked worriedly, "Will she sue Yuan Jiangdong about this?" ”

Shen Baiteng tasted the red wine in his hand and said, "I don't know." ”

I said, "You don't blame me?" ”

He asked, "Why blame you." ”

I said, "I was the one who caused this to happen, after all, I am the culprit." ”

Shen Boteng said: "If this matter is planned by you and there is no hurry, I will naturally blame you." ”

My heart pounded.

Shen Boteng said with a smile: "I asked Yuan Zi who notified her to come here, and the answer she gave me was Shen Bowen, and I felt no surprise at that time, Shen Bowen should have made a move, how could he be kind to me." ”

There was a sweat in my palms, and I said with a sneer: "I didn't expect it to be Shen Bowen, a villain, I said why Yuan Zi suddenly appeared." ”

Shen Boteng said: "Well, let him be." ”

The chopsticks in his hand put a crystal dumpling on the delicate blue plate, put it in my bowl, and said, "I guess I haven't had breakfast yet." ”

I couldn't react to his gentle attitude, I stiffened my neck and shook my head and said, "No ......"

He said: "I wanted to go to the company to find me in such a panic, I guess I didn't eat." ”

He tapped the edge of the plate with his chopsticks and said, "Eat." ”

It took me a lot of effort to lift my hand and grab the chopsticks.

I felt that this situation was a kind of overwhelming, and it was creepy, but I still pretended to be relieved and slowly ate the dumplings that Shen Boteng gave me, I ate very slowly, and Shen Boteng sat across from me, looking at me with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth.

Even though the dumplings on the plate were delicious, they were as tasteless as candles in my mouth, and even made it difficult for me to swallow them. Craftsman pounds.

After finally finishing eating, Shen Boteng recruited the waiter again, ordered a bunch of things, and gave it to me from time to time, watching me eat.

After this meal was completed, I followed Shen Boteng out of Dongfeng Zhai, and before he got in the car, he asked me if I was going to take me to the hospital, and I immediately shook my head and said, "No, it's not very convenient." ”

When Shen Boteng heard this, he nodded and said, "Well, be careful on that road." ”

He stooped into the car, which slowly left in front of me and disappeared at the end of the road.

I moved my stiff body, wiped my hands on my clothes, and thought to myself, it's too weird, I already had a plan to be known by him, and I was ready to bear a qiē when I came, but I didn't expect things to be far from developing in the way I imagined, which surprised and frightened me, what the hell is going on? What exactly does Shen Boteng mean?

I didn't figure it out, so I didn't stay here at Dongfeng Zhai, stopped a car and went straight back to the hospital.

After that, my injuries were almost healed, and after the doctor said that I could be discharged, I went to the discharge process alone, and no one accompanied me during the process.

On the third day after Yuan Zi went abroad, Shen Bowen flew abroad, and even put down the work here, while Shen Boteng didn't move at all, and was busy holding various meetings in the company all day long.

And at present, Junda of the cargo carrier No. 1049 is already in the tail position, and he is so busy that he has very little time to rest.

In the past few days in the hospital, I remembered that I had not been to the hospital to see Shen Ting for a long time, so I went to the hospital the day after I was discharged, at this time Shen Ting did not know when he had reached the stage of unconscious, he was very weak, when I went to see him, he opened his eyes at noon and looked at me, the rest of the time basically closed his eyes.

Let the nurses prick him with needles to test and draw blood, but he didn't react at all.

I didn't expect that the last time I asked Xiaolan to pretend to be Jiang Meirong to test him, it would have such a big impact on him, I looked at him lying dying on the bed, and my heart suddenly had mixed feelings, and there was a sense of evil.

In the afternoon, the second wife came to see Shen Ting, she stood by the bed and called the master a few times, Shen Ting reacted a little, opened his eyes and glanced at her, and also said: "Rong Hui...... There you are. ”

But after such a sentence, he fell asleep again, no matter how the second wife called his name later, there was no response, the second wife was frightened, because Shen Ting was dead, so she quickly pressed the service bell, and after all the doctors rushed in, when Shen Ting was examined, the doctor said that there was a heartbeat, and breath, it was a normal coma, so let the second wife not worry.

The second wife breathed a sigh of relief, and after the doctor left, she stood on the edge of the bedside and kept touching her tears, and after a while, she looked at me with red eyes, didn't say anything, covered her lips and left the ward.

Seeing this scene, I thought to myself, this second wife is not without feelings for Shen Ting, and the sadness and worry on her face are much more real than that of the third aunt.

It seems that it is not that it does not care.

After the second wife left, the third aunt also came to Shen Ting's ward, she looked at Shen Ting twice, saw that he did not react, and also left with red eyes.

In the past, Shen Ting was a little sick and went to the hospital, and the third wife was always rushing to come to the hospital to take care of him.

If it is true that there is no filial son in front of the bed of a long-term illness, this sentence really expresses Shen Ting's current situation.

There was no one to take care of him, so I could only stay there and guard Shen Ting, and for two or three days, he was in a fairly stable condition, although he had been asleep for a long time, but he occasionally woke up.

One night, because I couldn't sleep, I sat on the edge of Shen Ting's hospital bed and read a book, Shen Ting, who was plugging in an oxygen mask and had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, which made me startled.

Shen Ting's eyes didn't seem to see very clearly, he looked at me for a long time, he blinked, his black lips under the oxygen mask moved, as if he was talking, but I couldn't hear it clearly, so he turned sideways and stuck to his oxygen mask, and then he heard his faint words: "Liang Sheng......"

This time, he recognized me and didn't think I was Jiang Meirong.

I looked at him, smiled and said, "Master, you're awake." ”

He blinked, moved his lips again, and after I turned my ear sideways, he said under the oxygen mask, "Ritsu, Ritsu, Ritsu......"

He said several words, but because Shen Ting was out of breath, he didn't finish the word for a long time, but I guessed what he wanted to say, and I asked, "Is it a lawyer?" ”

He blinked, his head moving slightly.

I said, "What do you need me to sit on?" ”

Shen Ting wanted to say something, I continued to put my ear on his oxygen mask, but after waiting for a long time, there was indeed a sound of difficult breathing, I raised my face to look at him, it turned out that he was already asleep.

Early the next morning, Shen Ting, who was originally very weak, woke up completely, not only did he not have to fall asleep for a long time, but he could sit up from the bed, and his face did not look so gray.

I thought it was Shen Ting's illness that was going to get better, after all, every time he got sick, it was too weird, but it was also very sudden, and when the doctor came to check, I saw that the doctor's face was not happy with the good situation, but with a trace of sorrow, I felt that something was wrong.

Shen Ting's sudden improvement does not seem to be a good omen, and it may be bad news.

The second wife and the third wife learned that after Shen Ting woke up this morning, they both came to the hospital to see Shen Ting, but when they arrived at the door, they were turned away by the bodyguards at the door, because the lawyer was in Shen Ting's ward at the time.

The third and second wives could only wait outside the door, and I stood outside the door, standing there quietly.

In order to understand Shen Ting's condition, the anxious third wife actually asked me how Shen Ting was doing when she was waiting for this file, and I described Shen Ting's sudden awakening to the third lady in 1510, and she sighed, full of anticipation and said: "I hope that after the master wakes up this time, there will be no more stubble, and he must be well." ”

As soon as she finished saying this, Shen Ting's closed ward door was suddenly opened at this time, and it was Shen Ting's assistant Assistant Zhu who walked out of the room, and the second and third wives both looked at him expectantly at the same time, but Assistant Zhu's eyes patrolled around them and fell on me, and then he said, "Fourth wife, the master let you in." ”

I couldn't believe it, even uncertain, and asked, "Me?" ”

Assistant Zhu said with certainty: "Yes, it's you." ”

The third lady asked a little unconvinced: "Why is it her?" We haven't seen my master for so long, and we've been waiting at the door of the ward for so long early in the morning, so it stands to reason that we should be the first to see him, even if it's about seniority, it's not her turn. ”

Assistant Zhu said: "This is Shen Dong's order, sorry for the third wife." ”

The third wife wanted to say something, but Assistant Zhu looked at me again and said, "The fourth lady should go in." ”

Only then did I realize that this matter was true, so in the eyes of the third lady full of thorns, I followed Assistant Zhu into Shen Ting's ward, and when I arrived inside, Shen Ting was leaning on the hospital bed, listening carefully to what the lawyer said.

After we came in, Assistant Zhu took me to stand at the door and said to Shen Ting, "Shen Dong, Miss Liang is here." ”

Only then did Shen Ting raise his face to look at me, and the lawyer stopped reading at the same time.

Shen Ting had a pair of reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, he was in good spirits, his eyes fell on me for a long time, he beckoned to me and said, "Come here." ”

I slowly walked towards Shen Ting, and when I came to his bedside, I whispered, "Master." ”

Shen Ting nodded, didn't say anything, but raised his face to look at the lawyer and said, "I signed the things for her." ”

I still haven't understood what Shen Ting asked me to sign.

When the lawyer put a copy of Shen Ting's inheritance in front of me, I was completely stupid, and Shen Ting said: "After my death, I will resign from my position with regard to the Shen family, and all the property in my name, including 10% of the shares of the Shen family, will be passed on to you." ”

My head crashed for a moment, and I asked, "Master?" Could it be that you are mistaken? ”

Shen Ting didn't pay attention to my surprise, he said: "Sign it, I didn't make a mistake, I'm very sober." ”

The lawyer handed me the pen, but I didn't pick it up for a long time, because at this time, I couldn't recover from this huge surprise, and the inheritance letter on it was only symbolically distributed to some of his aunts and his sons and children, and a large amount of property, including Shen's shares, was given to me almost unchanged, which was the last thing I expected.

I'm just Shen Ting's fourth aunt's wife, what does he mean by this?

Seeing that I didn't move, Shen Ting sneered and said, "Don't think it's a trap, my good sons and daughters, I know exactly what I have done during this time, including you." ”

I was shot cold by his words, and he said, "However, I can forgive you for being Pei Rong's daughter." He looked at the agreement and said, "This is the property of my life, and it is better to give it to you than to give him to those wolf ambitions, but before signing the agreement, I have a request, and you can choose for yourself." ”

I sat there with my neck crossed, not knowing how to speak, and Shen Ting didn't give me a chance to speak, because he continued: "When inheriting this property, you must have a legitimate identity, that is, my Shen Ting's official wife, I don't have too many requirements for you, keep the Shen family, don't let him fall into anyone's hands, Zhu Wen and Jiang Hua will assist you in the company's affairs." He gasped for breath when he said this, and said: "There is another requirement, that is, after inheriting my property, I cannot remarry in this life, if I remarry, it means that I will take the initiative to give up the inheritance of all my property, and Zhu Wen and Jiang Hua will supervise it for me." ”

Shen Ting looked at me and said, "You choose for yourself." ”

Zhu Wen moved a table in front of me, spread Wen Jiàn on the table, put a pen aside, and everyone didn't speak, just looked at me silently, waiting for me to make a choice.

My head was spinning rapidly, Shen Ting's motivation for asking me to sign this contract, and his conditions, as long as I and him become an official husband and wife, then, there will never be any possibility between me and Shen Boteng, I have really become his stepmother, in charge of this Shen family.

Shen Ting is using another way to sever the relationship between me and Shen Boteng, and he is letting me choose, if he dies, I can take the initiative to quit the Shen family, and I will have great freedom in what I want to do in my life in the future, and it is not impossible for me and Shen Boteng to do it.

I looked at the contract in front of me, and sat there unmoved, my eyes fixed on the pen.

If I sign my name, then my life will be turned upside down, I will have the same supreme rights as men, I don't have to be held back by anyone, I can even have a property that I can't spend in my life, and I won't even look down on me anymore, I can finally get rid of the sorrow and fate of the lowest people.

I will be brilliant, and I will have the capital to fight against all the injustices in my life.

From now on, I will no longer be afraid of anyone.

But if I sign this inheritance letter, between me and Shen Boteng, it will never be possible again, and the identity between us will become a mountain that can never be crossed.

How do I choose? This is undoubtedly a very difficult problem to choose, love and money, which is more important?

There is no doubt that I love Shen Boteng, if I take away all his qiē, then I will become a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh in the eyes of Shen Bowen and Shen Boteng, and we will become enemies from now on, but if I give up the current qiē, then I will always be trapped in his hands for the rest of my life, I will never be able to escape, and I will be controlled by him for the rest of my life.

I thought about these two possibilities, and a voice kept sounding in my heart, she was telling me, no, Liang Sheng, your life should be controlled by yourself, as long as you sign this thing, you will have the capital to compete with some people you need to look up to before, at this time, you are an upright person.

When my hands trembled and I wanted to hold the pen, another voice in my heart said: "No, Liang Sheng, you can't sign, don't you like Shen Boteng?" Don't you want to get this guy? If you sign this thing, he will never belong to you again, and you will never have a chance to get him, you can only watch him marry another woman and become your daughter-in-law, you can only watch him hate his eyes, do you want such a result? ”

The two voices kept fighting in the ring in my heart, my heart was a little confused, I was sweating, and even the pen on the table seemed a little blurry, what should I do, what should I do, what kind of life do I want to live, who will sue me.

My mind was full of confusion, until Shen Ting, who was sitting on the hospital bed, asked me: "How is it, have you thought of your answer?" If you don't sign it, I can let it go, and I can even let Shen Boteng marry you on the condition of inheritance, and when the time comes, you will be his Mrs. Shen, do you want to? ”

Shen Ting's voice was supreme temptation, he was like a devil at this time, he smiled and said, "Liang Sheng, you really have to think about it carefully." ”

I said, "I don't understand. ”

Shen Ting said: "You don't understand anything. ”

I said, "I don't understand why you're doing this. ”

Shen Ting said: "Because I really want to see what my son's misguided expression will be, I should be very surprised." Shen Ting said with a gloomy smile: "I really want to see what you will become in the future, and whether you Liang Sheng have the ability to digest the qiē I gave you." ”

I said, "Do you want to take revenge on Shen Boteng?" ”

Shen Ting said: "The best revenge, that is, her people have rebelled, and his things have been stolen, which must be quite exciting." ”

What else I wanted to say, Shen Ting said: "Stop talking nonsense, make a decision." ”

Everyone looked at me again, and was interrupted by Shen Ting, and the answer suddenly became clear in my heart, I will not forget what kind of life I have lived in the past twenty-three years, being belittled by men, forced by life, humiliated, tortured, framed, hurt, all of them, I will not forget jì, so will Liang Sheng live like that in the future?

The answer is, no, I don't want to live like that, I want to get rid of that.

I glanced at Shen Ting and said coldly, "I'll sign." ”

I stretched out my hand and picked up the pen on the table very simply, glanced at the inheritance, and without any further hesitation, simply signed my name on the contract.

Shen Ting smiled, and he smiled extremely sarcastically: "Sure enough, no one in this world can escape the mercy of power and wealth. ”

I said, "I've had enough of living like a dog." ”

Shen Ting said: "But you lost a chance to be with him." ”

I said, "He can't love me forever, but money is different, and he is the only one who is most loyal." ”

Shen Ting said: "Yes, I used to think that some things were more loyal than money, but later, I found that money is dead, as long as you control it, it can bring you supreme glory, supreme warmth, but some things, such as feelings, are uncontrollable, because if you don't pay attention a little, his thoughts have betrayed you 108,000 miles away, you can't control it at all, and you can't always know what others are thinking, but money is different, it has no thoughts, You can harness it. ”

Shen Ting smiled and said: "Liang Sheng, you are very sensible, I think that all women will be confused and ignorant when facing feelings, you have chosen an eternal guarantee for yourself, in the future, you will become the person they are afraid of, you can control them, you can even instruct them, you don't have to look at anyone's eyes anymore."

I said, "Thank you." ”

Shen Ting said: "No, we are mutually beneficial, and you are Pei Rong's daughter, I should treat you well." ”

I said, "You've really given me a really nice gift." ”

After that, Shen Ting's lawyer signed some agreements for me again, which were so many that it was unclear what these texts were for, and after all of them were done, Shen Ting was a little tired, so he asked Assistant Zhu to send me out of his ward.

After I arrived outside the ward, the third and second aunts were still waiting outside the door, and when they saw me come out, they carefully observed my face, and the third aunt even rushed to me and asked me what Shen Ting told me just now.

At this time, my feelings had stabilized, and I smiled at the third aunt and said, "The master said that he wanted to drink chicken soup at noon." ”

The third aunt asked, "That's all?" ”

I said, "Of course, that's all." ”
