After discussing with Sun Zhengyi, Zhou Liwen decided to hold his troops for the time being, and do a solid job before proceeding to the next step. As for Jin Xinyi's side, you can put a long line to catch a big fish first, Zhou Liwen is not afraid that Jin Xinyi will turn his face after he is temporarily freed, not to mention that even if he wants to turn his face, he must have this qualification.

A little person like him, since he said those words, he has been on a thief ship, and it is absolutely impossible to get down. The best outcome is to go all the way to the black, and perhaps finally be freed in the form of witnesses. Besides, Son Zhengyi's people are not vegetarians, and the people he found to deal with Jin Xinyi are all experts, and there are hundreds of ways to pinch the other party, so he is not worried about him backing down at all.

Subsequently, Zhou Liwen asked Pang Yishan to arrange a reliable lawyer to cooperate with Sun Zhengyi to do this matter, and after arranging all this, Zhou Liwen boarded a plane to Europe and went to France to meet Lin Yaxuan and them.

When he arrived in France, Zhou Liwen immediately felt that his head was big when he saw Lin Yaxuan and Shi Wen. These two women actually became best friends, and they were closer to each other than their sisters. Seeing Shi Wen's meaningful smile, Zhou Liwen beat a drum in his heart, and even cold sweat came down behind his back.

"What the hell are you doing?" had dinner in the Zhuangyuan, and Zhou Liwen was uncomfortable eating this meal, especially when the Western-style table was divided, Shi Wen specially gave Zhou Liwen and them side dishes. Lin Yaxuan just thought she had good intentions, but Zhou Liwen obviously saw another meaning from Shi Wen's actions, and finally got through to dinner, and found an excuse to go outside to smoke a cigarette, and Shi Wen came out of the house not long after. Looking back and seeing that Lin Yaxuan was still in the living room, Zhou Liwen couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, I won't ruin your marriage." asked Zhou Liwen for a cigarette, Shi Wen lit it and said quietly: "Originally, I just wanted to see what kind of person your wife is, but now I know why you love her." ”

"What do you mean?" Zhou Liwen frowned and said.

Spit out a cigarette, Shi Wen said: "Compared with you Xiaoya, we are completely two types of people, if I am a fire, then she is flowing water, Lao Tzu said, good is like water, although water is soft, but it can grind away the hardest rock, compared to fire, it may not be so vigorous, but as a wife, Xiaoya is more suitable than me." ”

Zhou Liwen listened to Shi Wen's words silently, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. Shi Wen described it very appropriately, as she said, she is a fire, a fire that can burn people, with her, Zhou Liwen feels extremely exciting and intense feelings, but with Lin Yaxuan, Zhou Liwen can calm down, look at her quietly, don't think about anything, that kind of tranquility and warmth feel the warmth of home.

"I'm sorry......." Zhou Liwen said softly, his eyes soft and with a hint of guilt.

Shi Wen smiled, the cool breeze at night blew her long, she stretched out her fingers to remove the silk on her face: "I'm very happy to be with you, we are all adults, no one is sorry for anyone, I used to have my own thoughts before, but these days with Xiaoya for a long time, I understand why you chose her." Remember my words and treat her well, she is a good wife, and don't let her down. ”

Zhou Liwen nodded silently, then looked up at Shi Wen, and wanted to ask her if she had made any decisions? How else would you have said this? However, when he saw Shi Wen's clear gaze, he didn't say a word in the end.

"Do you want to drink some freshly brewed black tea?" At this time, Lin Yaxuan's voice sounded from not far away, and when she looked back, she saw that she was holding a tray with two cups of black tea in it.

"Of course you need to" Shi Wen nodded with a smile, snuffed out the cigarette butt in her hand that was about to finish smoking, and then took a cup of black tea from the tray, and praised Lin Yaxuan's craftsmanship after tasting it, this black tea is very authentic.

"It's not that you taught me well, I haven't made English black tea before, so I'm worried that it won't taste you." Lin Yaxuan smiled embarrassedly, and then asked curiously, "By the way, what did you talk about just now?" ”

"Let's talk about you." Shi Wen said deliberately.

"Talk about me?" Lin Yaxuan looked at her suspiciously, and then at Zhou Liwen.

Shi Wen immediately burst out laughing, and then said: "Let me tell your husband, you are a very, very good woman, and it is his blessing to be able to marry you, so that he must not let you down." ”

Lin Yaxuan was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned red, and she didn't know what to say like a little girl.

"Don't believe me? If you don't believe it, ask your husband" Shi Wen grinned and put her arms around her shoulders, raising her hand to point to Zhou Liwen.

Zhou Liwen nodded with a smile to show that Shi Wen did say so. Of course, as for the other few words in their conversation just now, Zhou Liwen would not be stupid enough to say it in front of Lin Yaxuan.

"Where am I as good as you say, but I think Sister Wen, you are much better than me, after graduation, Ah Wen asked me to take charge of some company business, but now except for the Foundation, I don't touch most of his business. On the contrary, Sister Wen, I heard that you are basically taking care of your husband's family's business? ”

Shi Wen nodded, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to say that I am a strong woman?" ”

"I ...... I just think you're better than me. Lin Yaxuan said embarrassedly, the word strong woman has both positive and deprecating meanings, and it is impolite to say that people are strong women in front of others, Lin Yaxuan hurriedly explained.

Shi Wen was very generous, just smiled and said: "Actually, it's not wrong to say that I'm a strong woman, in fact, you don't know, many people in Europe call me so privately." However, I don't think you agree with you, on the contrary, I think you are the happiest. Sometimes, it is not a good thing for women to be too strong, no matter which country's passport we hold, but after all, we are Chinese in our bones, Chinese culture and traditions, women are under the wing of men, such women are the happiest. ”

Lin Yaxuan shook her head, Shi Wen praised her so well that she was really embarrassed. These days with Shi Wen, they have long become very good friends, although the two have completely different personalities, but the personalities do not hinder the friendship between them, in Lin Yaxuan's heart, she admires Shi Wen very much, after all, she can master such a big career in Europe as a woman, which is something that ordinary men can't do.

Zhou Liwen heard the chat between the two women clearly, but he didn't interject or say anything, so he could only drink the black tea awkwardly. After a few sips, Zhou Liwen found a reason to go back to the house, and when he returned to the living room, he looked at Lin Yaxuan and Shi Wen who were sitting in the garden corridor outside through the window, and sighed softly.

The following days were relatively relaxed, and due to the arrival of Zhou Liwen, Zhuang Yuan was more angry. However, Shi Wen left the afternoon the next day, she ostensibly said that the company had something to deal with, but in fact, Zhou Liwen knew that she was deliberately avoiding it. On the way to the airport, the two didn't say anything, until they arrived at the airport, and when they got off the car, Shi Wen suddenly hugged Zhou Liwen tightly, and then laughed and shed tears.

"I won't give up, even if I can't become your wife, it's enough for us to have each other in this life." She whispered in Zhou Liwen's ear, Zhou Liwen looked at the other party with mixed feelings, held her hand tightly until her fingers were withdrawn in her palm, and then stepped out of the car door and quickly disappeared behind the airport door.

Shi Wen's departure made Zhou Liwen breathe a sigh of relief and at the same time brought a touch of sadness in his heart, he knew that he was sometimes, especially for Shi Wen, he was a little selfish, but at the same time, he didn't want to hurt the hearts of two women who loved him. Choosing this method may be a better result. Zhou Liwen comforted himself like this, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought about it. This kind of attitude, when I was studying, I once heard the teacher talk about it, it should be called "A QF Arrow Gentleman" Zhou Liwen didn't expect that he would one day use this way to comfort himself.

When she returned to the village, Lin Yaxuan also asked about Shi Wen's situation, saying that she regretted that she couldn't stay with them for a few more days or something. Hearing his wife say this, Zhou Liwen didn't say much, just followed her words and coped with a few words, and in the following days, they either took a leisurely vacation in the village, or drove to nearby attractions. After staying for a few days, they left France for Germany, where they stayed in a historic castle that was said to have been the castle of an elector hundreds of years ago.

For this place, both Zhou Liwen and Lin Yaxuan like it very much, living in the ancient castle rich in historical precipitation, especially the hall where there is a portrait of the former owner of the ancient castle, as if in ancient Europe in the seventeenth century.

"Sir, coffee." In the afternoon of this day, Lin Yaxuan, who had been riding a horse for half a day, went back to the room to rest, and Zhou Liwen, who was in good spirits, lingered in the corridor of the ancient castle, looking at the collections of various generations of masters with interest.

As he turned downstairs to the hall, a voice rang out, and when he looked back, it was the butler who was asking him if he wanted coffee.

"Thank you Hans." Zhou Liwen smiled and nodded to the old housekeeper. It is not easy to maintain such a large castle, and according to local law, even the owner of the castle only has the right to own it and not the right to renovate it, in order to maintain the historical value of the castle. But to maintain the entire castle so well, the cost is a huge amount of money every year. In many parts of Europe, many of the nobles who inherited the family castle were willing to leave the place deserted or resell it because they could not afford to pay such a sum of money.

Like this castle, it is owned by the Schiller family, and the contemporary owner of the family is Count Herbert, who bears a noble title and has the word "von" inlaid in his name. Of course, unlike the British royal family, the title of nobility of Earl Herbert was only symbolic, and although his ancestors were once electors, by his generation there was little difference from ordinary Germans, except for some real estate, antiques and shares in a few small businesses.
