As soon as the evening newspapers of several newspapers came out that day, half of the Shanghai market was in a sensation. For a while, the pressure of public opinion was surging towards the Ye family, and the Ye family was greatly affected.

Even if Ye Yipin has ten full blood slots, he was blown up by today's evening newspaper.

A confession was published in the evening newspaper -

This confession was written by Sheng Chunlai, a former "textile king" who is still serving a prison sentence, and he confessed that he had done a lot of wrong things, and that he wanted to confess all the crimes he had committed before, hoping to get extrajudicial mercy and strive for leniency.

He confessed one thing in detail in the confession, that is, how many years ago he united with Ye Yipin to frame the Mai family, the original owner of the former Shengshi Weaving and Dyeing Factory and now Xinhua Weaving and Dyeing Factory, and used a lot of unfair means to take the property that belonged to the Mai family as his own, forcing the Mai family to be desperate and have no way to complain. In his confession, he expressed his deep apologies to the surviving descendants of the Mai family.

Sheng Chunlai repeatedly emphasized one point in the confession, at that time, he was used by traitors for profit, and he was instructed by Ye Yipin before and after, and now he is sober and repentant......

As soon as the confession came out, Ye Yipin became the target of public criticism, which aroused public indignation. From that night on, the door of the Ye family was covered with layers of rotten eggs and eggshells, and the rotten vegetable leaves in front of the door were piled up at the same height as the threshold. There were even people who threw dead rats into the Ye family's courtyard.

As soon as this incident came out, the people of the Ye family did not sleep peacefully for a day.

Ye Yipin was sick again, but this time he was probably not angry, and he was scared out of the disease more.

said that if you see the newspaper, you will see the newspaper, who did he Ye Yipin provoke, who is the shopkeeper of the splendid cloth shop and the shopkeeper of the embroidery workshop? Could it be that Ye Yipin has done too much evil in his life, and God specially sent the surnamed Lin to punish him?

The Ye family wanted to issue a clarification, but no newspaper accepted their manuscripts, and this time Ye Yipin finally experienced the despair of having no way to complain.

Two days later, Ye Yipin dragged his sick body and eldest son to the embroidery workshop to find coriander to make peace. Not as smooth as last time, this time they didn't even see the face of coriander, and they were slapped in the face by a lawyer named Su Liwen, who claimed to be the legal counsel of the Splendid Cloth Shop and Chu Embroidery Workshop.

Last time, Ye Yipin came to the embroidery workshop to be domineering and yelled at five and six, and this time he had to pretend to be a grandson in front of people.

He and his eldest son stacked the gifts they brought in front of Baifeng.

Glancing at the stack of gift boxes piled up like a hill, Baifeng showed disdainful eyes.

Ye Yipin smiled very flatteringly at Baifeng, and looked like a sycophant, "Miss Baifeng, please invite Shopkeeper Lin out to meet us no matter what." ”

"Nope." Baifeng didn't bother to talk to them more.

Ye Yipin remembered that last time he was also in the storage and embroidery workshop, and Coriander put his words in front of him - he did not accept any flattery from him.

The nail of coriander, he can't touch. Ye Yipin came up with another shopkeeper's idea, "The shopkeeper of that canal ......"

"Our shopkeeper went to Mai's factory to discuss business with Mr. Mai." Baifeng deliberately bit the word "wheat" very hard, as she expected, as soon as Ye Yipin heard this, the expression on his face became very unnatural. When Baifeng saw someone coming in, he said to Ye Yipin, "If you have anything, tell him." ”

Baifeng raised his hand and pointed to the door.

Following the direction of her finger, the Ye family father and son saw a young man with silver-rimmed glasses and a well-mannered man walking forward.

This young man is Su Liwen, the new legal counsel of the Splendid Cloth Shop and the Chu Embroidery Workshop, he has just come from the Splendid Cloth Shop, and from the monthly taxes paid by the Splendid Cloth Shop and the Chu Embroidery Workshop, he can understand the business conditions of the two sides, and calculate the losses caused by the two sides during the Ye family's suppression.

Sullivan's attitude towards the Ye family's father and son was still relatively polite, and invited the two of them into the pantry. Before he entered the pantry, he glanced at Baifeng, who was idle in the counter to get his nails trimmed, and wrote two words in his eyes - tea.

Baifeng is so angry in her heart, can this kid treat her as a girl? She is the proprietress of the dignified embroidery workshop and the master elite of the big league...... How can you not even do such a small thing as serving tea?

When Baifeng came out of the pantry with an empty wooden plate, she suddenly realized that she was suffering from some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder......

In the pantry.

Ye Yipin couldn't help but relax a little when he saw that this young man's attitude was okay, but the doubts in his heart did not diminish at all, "May I ask you ......?"

He didn't know when there was such a figure in the Splendid Cloth Shop and the Embroidery Workshop.

"I'm Sullivan, the legal counsel of the Splendid Cloth Company and the Chu Embroidery Workshop." After introducing himself, Sullivan politely bowed slightly to the Ye family's father and son.

The sitting posture is upright and elegant, and the atmosphere is very natural - no matter how Ye Yipin looks at it, he thinks that this young man named Sullivan is not ordinary.

Look at his son Ye Chengfeng again, sit wherever he wants, with his legs crossed, his hands holding his knees, and his feet are restless. He was born noble, and his clothes were also very bright, but he didn't have a bit of a noble and elegant temperament all over his body.

The comparison between Sullivan and Ye Chengfeng is obviously the difference between cloud and mud. Ye Yipin's heart was desolate......

"Legal counsel? What is legal counsel? Ye Chengfeng's nostrils were facing the sky, and he didn't put Sullivan in his eyes.

Ye Chengfeng thinks very highly of himself, and he is born with a sense of superiority, and he is very dissatisfied with the matter of Sheng Chun's confession. That's the grievance of the previous generation, what does it have to do with him? According to the rules of the ancestors, the family business is not passed on, he is the son and eldest son of the Ye family, anyway, when Ye Yipin dies, he is the head of the Ye family, and the business matters are naturally decided by him.

There is a good saying, "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse", he doesn't care how much the Ye family's business will suffer because of this incident, anyway, he just waits to inherit the family business, and the big deal is to earn the money back after he inherits the family business.

Originally, Ye Chengfeng was reluctant to come with Ye Yipin this time, he couldn't get used to Ye Yipin's timid appearance. After coming, he scolded the two shopkeepers of the Splendid Cloth Store and the Embroidery Workshop in his heart. Their Ye family came to visit them in person, they were giving them face!

No matter what kind of face Ye Chengfeng throws, Sullivan still has that attitude of neither humility nor arrogance, and patiently explains: "Legal counsel is to provide legal services for my client, and mediating disputes and defending the legitimate rights and interests of my client is one of my duties and obligations." ”

Ye Chengfeng was still half-understanding the words, but Ye Yipin reacted very quickly, grabbed a word, and said down:

"Mediate disputes – yes, we're here to mediate disputes today!" The more he looked at Sullivan, the more pleasing he became. He didn't know anything about legal counsel, as long as this young man could calm the conflict between him and the surnamed Lin. "We came to Mr. Lin today, just to mediate the dispute!

There was a bit of a misunderstanding between me and Shopkeeper Lin, but she couldn't take revenge on me, so she found a prisoner who was still in prison to write a confession to slander me, and also published those nonsensical things publicly. That's not to say, you say.

I don't know how Shopkeeper Lin coaxed that prisoner, I hope she can make that prisoner re-issue a statement to prove the innocence of our Ye family, and we were also framed! ”

When Shopkeeper Lin said this, the expression on his face could be described as changeable. He was sometimes indignant, sometimes helpless, sometimes innocent, and during this period, he also expressed his disbelief with the shopkeeper Lin he said. It's not at all like a person who comes to the door to ask for reconciliation.

Sullivan patiently listened to him finish speaking, and then said: "Mr. Ye, fabricating facts and damaging the reputation of others is slander. ”

Ye Yipin couldn't wait to pat his thigh to applaud him, he was excited, "Yes, you're right!" The confession published in the newspaper is a fabrication of facts and damage to my Ye Yipin's reputation, and the surname Sheng is slandering me! ”

"If you want to be held accountable, you should go to the person who deliberately slandered you, you shouldn't come here." Sullivan said, "You just said that the shopkeeper of the Splendid Cloth Company tricked a certain prisoner into writing that confession......

Ye Yipin hurriedly said: "Yes, that's it!" ”

"Mr. Ye, what you have said, you have to be in charge. You said that Shopkeeper Lin tricked the prisoner into writing a confession, please show evidence. Sullivan's expression grimaced.

Ye Yipin was dumbfounded. Why is the situation reversed? The meaning of the young man's words just now was not that Sheng Chunlai slandered him, but that he slandered Shopkeeper Lin?

It's a bit of a mess, and he has to take it slowly.

Sullivan added: "If you can't prove this, you say that such irresponsible words are damaging the reputation of my client, and we can sue you in court." And-"

Not done yet?

The father and son of the Ye family saw that Sullivan took out a material from his briefcase that he didn't know what it was about.

Sullivan held the material in his hand, "This article records the oral testimony of the editor-in-chief of Shuyuan Pictorial, as well as his autograph. According to him, he slandered the Splendid Cloth Shop and the Chu Embroidery Workshop in the "Shuyuan Pictorial", but he was actually instructed by someone, and spent money to buy the person who instructed him to do this-" He looked at Ye Chengfeng, whose face changed drastically, "It is the eldest son of the Ye family, Ye Chengfeng." We have sufficient evidence to prove that you maliciously slandered the reputation of the Splendid Cloth Shop and the Embroidery Workshop, and have engaged in deceptive acts to boycott our client's business. During this period, I have reported the losses caused by the Splendid Cloth Shop and the Chu Embroidery Workshop to the Taxation Bureau and other relevant departments, and a special person will soon intervene to investigate the matter.

After verifying the situation, you need to pay compensation to the Splendid Cloth Shop and the Embroidery Workshop. If you don't accept it, we'll see you in court. ”

Ye Yipin's body collapsed, and the whole person fell into the chair. He didn't expect this matter to reach the top management.

Ye Chengfeng was also confused, he knew that once he went to court with the Splendid Cloth Shop and the Chu Embroidery Workshop, he would be finished - he was the one who spent money to buy the editor-in-chief of the "Shuyuan Pictorial", and he was also the one who maliciously slandered the Splendid Cloth Store and the Chu Embroidery Workshop. If he goes to court because of this matter, he will not only be discredited, but also likely to lose his inheritance.

Only then did he realize that Ye Yipin brought him to the door to seek reconciliation, which was actually the right thing to do.

But they didn't even see the face of the shopkeeper, but they were slapped in the face by a legal adviser who came out of nowhere, what is this called?

Ye Chengfeng was not convinced, got up suddenly, and yelled at Sullivan: "What are you!" Call your shopkeepers out! ”

Su Liwen's face did not change, and said: "Mr. Ye, your blatant scolding and unreasonable troubles have already constituted harassment to us, and I have to remind you that your behavior violates the "Public Security Administration Punishment Law". ”

Ye Yipin shouted angrily at Ye Chengfeng: "You sit down for me!" ”

Ye Chengfeng was still unconvinced, but he was also afraid of the consequences, so he had to obey Ye Yipin.

Ye Yipin weakly hugged his fist at Su Liwen, and when he spoke, he didn't have the domineering momentum of the past, "Mr. Su, I'm sorry for you to bring a message to your shopkeeper, and we'll disturb you another day." ”

How did the Ye family's father and son come and leave?

Baifeng thought that if they couldn't see the person they wanted to see, they would rely here to stage a scene of crying, making trouble and hanging themselves, but they didn't expect Sullivan to send such a difficult person away in just a few words. She also felt that the Ye family's father and son were a little deserted and ran away when they left.

Baifeng hadn't looked at Sullivan before, and from this moment on, he was impressed by others, and even favored them.

Baifeng slipped away to the splendid cloth shop to find coriander, and asked her about Sullivan, "What is the origin of the surname Su?" ”

The person was recruited by Coriander herself, and Coriander said that she knew the whole thing about that person, so she didn't need to check it anymore, so she didn't secretly investigate Sullivan's identity.

Coriander replied: "Are the people of the Ye family gone?" ”

"Gone, gone, just gone! The one surnamed Su sent it away! Baifeng suddenly felt that it was always very rude to call people "surnamed Su", so she was busy and changed her words, "It's Mr. Su." His name is Sullivan, right, Levine, polite and sharp, oops, how can there be such a man in the world? ”

The corners of Coriander's mouth twitched, she still wanted to ask how there could be a woman like you in the world!

"I'm a nymphomaniac, but I don't see I'm busy!" At this time, there is no computer and no computer, no matter how strong Cilantro's brain is, there are times when she is tired when facing a lot of numbers. She is a beginner in abacus, and she is not very slippery.

Compared with last month's performance, this month because of pressure from all parties and many other reasons, and last month because of the Mid-Autumn Festival to carry out a promotional event, this month is not an important festival, but there are so many emergencies - in comparison, the embroidery shop of the splendid cloth store has indeed lost a lot.

"Qian Lang, taking advantage of the momentum of the fashion show, I will spread the news today that you will have the opportunity to draw tickets for the fashion show when you enter the store. Take advantage of this event to make up for the loss of this month. ”

Xiao Wu on the other end of the counter couldn't help but wonder, "Don't wait for the Ye family's compensation?" ”

Anyway, compensation is already a sure thing, with the compensation paid by the Ye family, the loss of the splendid cloth shop can also be recovered.

"The compensation that should be compensated, the money that should be earned still has to be earned, and it is almost the end of the year, is it possible that you don't want me to wrap you with a big and bulging red envelope during the New Year?"

As soon as he heard that there were red envelopes to take during the Chinese New Year, Qian Lang was full of enthusiasm and immediately went to do the errand that the coriander explained. He was not stupid, he went straight to the editor-in-chief of "Shuyuan Pictorial", and even threatened him to post an apology statement in "Shuyuan Pictorial" next week, and then helped the Splendid Cloth Company to make a small advertisement for the lottery event, and carefully introduced the upcoming fashion show next month.

Coriander was still settling accounts at the Splendid Cloth Shop, and Xiao Si came to inform her: "Miss Lin, the second master is here, waiting for you in the embroidery workshop." ”

"Oh, I see."

Coriander put down the work in her hand and went to the embroidery workshop.

She went straight upstairs, but saw a figure flickering in the pantry, and then someone opened the bead curtain to reveal his face, it was Fujihikodo.

"You're not waiting for me upstairs, why are you here?"

Since the embroidery workshop recruited a few apprentices, the studio on the third floor is no longer a studio for coriander alone. He can't talk to coriander under the noses of those people.

Fujihiko pulled the coriander into the pantry, "I made you soup, how about you taste it." ”

As soon as she entered the pantry, the parsley smelled a greasy smell that hooked her index finger.

On the table is a beautiful rosewood food box, next to the food box is a bowl of pork knuckle soybean and kelp soup, a small bowl of rice, a spoonful of chopsticks, and a wet towel.

After Coriander sat down, Fujihiko wiped her hands with a wet towel and handed the spoon to her, "Taste it." ”

Coriander dug up a spoonful of soup, blew it cold and put it in his mouth, made a delicious exaggerated expression for face, and gave Fujihiko a thumbs up, not sparing the best words, "It's delicious!" Your cooking skills are getting better and better! It's almost time to overtake the chefs of Rong Kee Restaurant! ”

Fujihiko Hall was very useful, sitting opposite the coriander physically and mentally, watching her feast, and couldn't help but show a gentle and doting smile.

Coriander was eating happily, and said coldly: "You just came out of the house, did Liangliang feed it?" Has the yard been cleaned? ”

Fujihikodo elongated his face with a brush, and the speed of changing his face was smacking.

This girl ignores him but cares about whether a dog is full or not, can he be in a sunny mood?

"Why don't you ask me if I've eaten?"

Could it be that in her heart, he is not as important as the dog at home?

- Fujihiko couldn't help but think so.

Looking at his resentful eyes, Cilantro sneered, and handed the spoon to his mouth with a bowl, "Come, I'll feed you-"

Fuji Yantang's face was softened, and then he tensed up again, daring to love in the eyes of this girl, he is at the same level as Liangliang?

He is arrogant and doesn't open his face, and if he doesn't eat, he won't eat.

"Don't eat and pull down." The coriander was still not serving, and she said as she ate, "Do you know what the pet keeper is called?" Shovel,, official! If we raise Liangliang, we should take responsibility for taking care of it, I am its first shovel officer, you are my person, you are its second shovel officer, you have to take this responsibility with me! ”

"I'm enough for you to be in charge." Fujihiko is not that interested in dogs.

Coriander said again, "You can't even take care of a dog, how can you take good care of our children in the future?" You don't like shoveling for dogs, how can you take a child with a handful of and urine? ”

Fuji Yantang suddenly felt that what she said was very reasonable, but the vinegar in his heart still hadn't passed, "That person is the same as a dog, can it be the same?" ”

"It's called seeing the big from the small, and I can see from your attitude towards pets that you are not suitable for children. So don't talk to me about having children in the future. ”

Coriander will leave the conversation here first.

Fuji Yantang understands it, dare to love this girl is throwing bricks and leading jade, and the last sentence is the point she wants to say! Watching the coriander nibbling on the fragrant pig's trotters, he suddenly had an epiphany again-

"Do you think I brought you food and drink to talk to you about having a child?"

"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, what do you say?"

Fujihikodo has the heart to hit the wall. He really didn't understand how this girl could eat such a taste from a cup of pig's trotters, soybeans and kelp soup.

He roared inwardly, then held his forehead and said weakly: "Okay, don't say anything more, I won't bring you food in the future." ”

Coriander looked at the helpless Fujihiko with a smile, a pair of apricot eyes bent into the shape of a crescent moon, and the smile on her face became bigger and bigger.

"Wouldn't it be too much for you to take back the bones I ate to feed Liangliang?"

At this moment, Fujihikodo's heart was almost broken.

He is a dignified second master and likes a ...... What kind of woman!

However, he was sure that there was no woman who could make him feel such ups and downs.

"Eh, I'll tell you seriously, you've seen my silkworms."

Fujihiko doesn't know whether to cry or laugh, please don't talk to me about pets anymore.

Coriander didn't notice his awkwardness, and said to herself, "It's the ones I kept in the barn." I want to convert that warehouse into a silkworm house and raise my silkworms. My silkworms are treasures, and you can't find outsiders to do this, so you can't find outsiders to do it, do you want to take the time to help me tidy up? ”

Fujihiko resisted the urge to roll his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Why do I want to fix you so much!" ”

"I'll tell you seriously, what do you think I'm raising dogs for, just to keep watch over those silkworms."

Fujihiko Tang thought it was ridiculous, "Can your silkworm still run with long legs?" ”

"I'm afraid someone will steal it." Coriander said, "Have you ever heard of the Miao people's worm Gu? It is to enclose all kinds of poisonous insects in a space, do not feed them, let them kill each other, eat themselves, and the last one left is the most poisonous. ”

Fujihiko slowly straightened his face and listened to her continue:

"When I first came to Shanghai, I brought a bamboo tube with me, and in the bamboo tube was the silkworm eggs I put in, I was originally raising it for fun, and then the bamboo tube was touched away by Qian Lang along with the baggage, and then I found it again, but it has been a long time, I almost forgot about those silkworms, and I made an amazing discovery - I opened the bamboo tube and found that the silkworm eggs inside were gone, and I also put my hand into the bamboo tube and was bitten ——"

Fujihiko couldn't help but look at the hand she was gesturing to, his eyes showing concern.

"I shine in the light, there are two silkworms left in the bamboo tube, they are grown up eating their own compatriots, although they are no different from ordinary silkworms in form, but the color of their bodies has changed greatly, they have many colors, and they exude a fragrance. Before forming cocoons, they eat meat.

Later, I kept all the eggs they laid, and I kept them, and as a result, they were raised as colorful silkworms. ”

"Colored silkworms?" Fujihiko did see a basket of colorful insects in the warehouse, and he felt disgusted at the time, so he didn't look closely, just thought it was the bad taste of coriander.

"The silk they spit out is all colorful, and you can go back and see it if you don't believe it. And I found that the embroidery threads made from those silks are hundreds of times better than the best embroidery threads sold on the market today! "Coriander is not exaggerating at all.

She used the silkworm cocoons at home to make a few handfuls of embroidery thread, and asked Shi Lan to use them to make a real thing, and Shi Lan used those embroidery threads of different colors to embroider a small flower on her handkerchief. By now, her veil is old, but the flowers on it are still fresh.

"If that's the case, then we'll have to put it all together. Both of us are busy, and it's not easy to raise silkworms, so I think we still have to ask someone to help. ”

Fujihikodo is to the point, and this is where the melancholy of coriander comes in.

"I can't wait to be a servant now."

Knowing that she was busy, didn't he bring her food and drink, but he didn't expect to be twisted by this girl's kindness.

Fuji Yantang thought about it for a while, and had a suitable candidate in his heart, "Why don't you let the little four, the five, the six, their sister and the third girl come to help us." ”

Coriander couldn't help but complain, "Their family's name is too casual." ”

Fortunately, this sister who is the third in line is fortunately not called Xiao ...... Three.

Fuji Yantang smiled mysteriously, "You asked Baifeng to check the details of Xiao Si and Xiao Wu, but there are some things you may not know." My mother was an orphan and grew up in an orphanage, and according to my grandmother, it was love at first sight when my father was volunteering at the orphanage. I went to the orphanage to investigate the cause of my parents' deaths. Xiao Liu'er and they are all children of that orphanage, and there are many children there, almost all of whom are not related by blood. Their interests and hobbies are different, so the direction of development is also different, some have become drivers, some have become drivers, and some have gone to school......

Although children are still being sent in, it is no longer an orphanage, it is like a big miscellaneous home, a big family. When Sanniu grew up, she chose to stay there and work to feed the children there. When Xiao Liu'er didn't work, they were all brought by Sanniu and several other sisters and brothers. ”

Coriander suddenly couldn't eat it, looking like a child who had done something wrong, pouted and sniffled, raised his hand and took the initiative to admit his mistake, "I'm guilty - I robbed Xiao Liu'er of money." ”

Now that I think about it, I really shouldn't have been.

Coriander felt so guilty in her heart.

Seeing her like this, Fuji Yantang felt distressed and a little crying and laughing.

"Okay, don't feel uncomfortable, I'll send him a big red envelope during the New Year, and it will be regarded as compensation for him."

Coriander suddenly brightened, picked up the dishes and chopsticks again, and said sweetly: "Husband, you are so good." ”

"Ahem." Fujihiko covered his mouth and coughed, but he couldn't cover the red roots of his ears. (To be continued.) )
