Chapter 222: Exit the circle

At eight o'clock in the morning, in a chain snack shop in the city center, Ling Li was eating breakfast.

She always wakes up early these days, and she can't sleep before six o'clock. On weekends, she didn't want to get up, so she couldn't sleep, so she lay on the bed in a daze, watching the light outside the window gradually brighten up, and listening to the sound of people and cars downstairs gradually becoming noisy.

From time to time, I could hear the sound of the door opening and closing in the distance.

It stands to reason that the weekend is the day when she goes to Nanzhiyi to clean up, but Ling Li doesn't want to go out at all, and she doesn't want to touch that string at all.

It's easy for her to suppress the negative emotions, and once she sees the intimate picture of the two on the other side, she doesn't know what she will look like crazy.

Since he didn't rush it, she just pretended to forget.

I got past the weekend when I barely went downstairs, and then on Monday, I still woke up early.

On the day when she had to go to work, she didn't want to lie down and pretend to be decadent, so she simply got up, cleaned, washed her hair, took a shower, and cleaned up together, and it was just seven o'clock.

After exercising, she was a little hungry and the window was already bright, so she decided to go out early for a rich breakfast.

Now she has a small amount of savings, and she has more money, and she only orders everything she wants to eat when she enters the snack shop.

But she looked at the table full of all kinds of food in front of her, and suddenly she lost her appetite.

However, the thrifty habits she has developed over the years have made it impossible for her to waste food, especially a lot.

Ling Li mechanically stuffed all kinds of food into her mouth without knowing the taste, and at the same time focused her eyes on the "Yongzi" in the soy milk cup, and in her ears was the morning news with the loudest voice on the TV hanging above her head.

"Now it's on the entertainment news. Tang Chu, who starred in two high-rated TV series last year and sold more than one million records, suddenly held a press conference yesterday afternoon to announce his retirement from the entertainment industry......"

The host spoke very quickly and emotionally, coupled with the volume of the TV was too loud, and there were a few noises from the channel and the hoarseness of the current, which was very weird to listen to.

However, the aunt who returned from morning exercise next door was discussing one after another louder than the movement on TV.

"Yo hey, this Tang Chu will retire when he says he will retire, I chased two films last year, one in ancient costume and one in modern times, both of them are very good-looking." Aunt Jia patted her thighs and sighed.

Aunt B's voice was also as loud as a gong: "Oh, it's a pity, these young dolls, I think he is the only one who plays well." ”

"It's not," Aunt Jia seems to be a fan of Tang Chu, "Tang Chu looks good and acts well, and his character is good, where to find it!" The good actors have all withdrawn from the circle, and the rest are some little fresh meat with only one face, and the drama is simply unwatchable. ”

The aunt who sat opposite them smiled incomprehensibly: "What do you know? Tang Chu's new drama is about to be released, isn't this hype? ”

Aunt Ding tapped on the table and obviously disagreed with C: "What are you hyping about!" Tang Chu was also chilled by his mother, no matter what kind of girlfriend he made, he was not satisfied with his mother, and insisted on making him yellow. Life is boring anymore, why do you work so hard. Hurry back, hurry back! ”

Aunt A suddenly realized, and sighed for a while: "No wonder, I said that people in their thirties have never had a serious girlfriend, it turns out that the head of the family is strictly controlled." ”

"What a strict tutor!" Aunt Bing scoffed, "This is called Ma Bao Nan, Mom is only willing to say a word, and she has no responsibility at all, so she deserves to be beaten as a single?" Earn so much money and bite eggs! ”

The dirty words in the last sentence show the righteous indignation of the aunt.

"Mommy boy?" Aunt Jia was obviously shocked: "I can't see it, Zhou Zhouzheng's young man, is this kind of person?" ”

Ling Li sighed softly and put down the cup full of soy milk in her hand.

Since Sunday night, the news of Tang Chu's withdrawal from the entertainment industry has been repeatedly swiped, whether it is mobile phone news or web push, and his face in a black suit and frowning like a mournful woman at the press conference always pops up.

Rao is Ling Li felt that he was good looking and a little handsome before, but this night and morning came down, and he was also a little disgusted.

Speaking of which, it is because Qingyin's case has a little understanding of Tang Chu's gossip, from a small fresh meat to a powerful Xiaosheng, whether from the perspective of a singer or an actor, it can be regarded as powerful and word-of-mouth, I don't know why he retreated so suddenly.

But this has nothing to do with her, she doesn't even know what role Tang Chu has played and what songs she has sung, this is neither pink nor black, so there is no need to increase the click rate on this hot topic.

And the gossiping aunts at the next table had a loud voice, and there was a heated discussion around the ten deadly sins of Ma Baonan.

Ling Li ate the remaining half bowl of noodles in a few bites, asked for water to rinse her mouth, and went to work with her bag.

Before leaving, I passed by my aunt's table, and when I heard that their topic had changed qualitatively, I had already begun to discuss the repertoire of the evening square dance that I picked up my grandson in the afternoon.

The law firm is located in the Baiyang Building a few hundred meters away.

Ling Li had heard enough of the aunts denouncing Ma Bao Nan in the morning, and as soon as she entered the foyer of the building, Ling Li met another victim who was said to be Ma Bao Nan.

Lu Xiaoxiao, a pregnant woman, did not have the consciousness of being careful not to move the fetal gas when she was pregnant with a child, and when she saw Ling Li's back, she ran over and slapped her vest vigorously, and the strong internal force shook Ling Li almost vomited out her breakfast.

"Tap!" She grinned and patted her heart, couldn't help but feel a little nauseous, and retched.

Lu Xiaoxiao's expression was exaggerated, covering her heart and making a thief's weak appearance: "Is it possible that pregnancy can still be infected?" Do you have it too? ”

"What nonsense!" Ling Li glared at her, "I just ate two buns, two fritters in the morning, a cup of soy milk, an egg, a plate of side dishes, and a bowl of corn paste and a bowl of beef noodles." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao's mouth grew into an O-shape, and after a while, she said, "Beautiful girl, I thought you would stop somewhere in the middle, but you reported the name of the dish in one go!" Is your stomach a black hole? Can it fit so much? ”

As she spoke, she pinched Ling Li's waist with her paws dishonestly, touched her waist again, and lamented: "God is really unfair, some people don't eat for long, I drink some water and get fat, I can't get two hundred catties in ten months!" ”

Hearing her Zeyang say, Ling Li deliberately turned her head and took a good look at Lu Xiaoxiao.

She was wearing a small silk black coat, a burgundy shirt, black wide-legged pants underneath, and a pair of five-centimeter mid-heeled shoes...... Uh, it seems that the effects of pregnancy are indeed starting to gain weight.

However, after not seeing her in the past few days, her skin seems to have improved a lot.

Lu Xiaoxiao is still a little maternal after all, at least she doesn't see people without makeup like before, at this time, she is not completely without makeup, but her lips are red and her teeth are white, and her skin is so tender that she can pinch out water.

Ling Li was stunned, and involuntarily rubbed her hand on her face, and said, "Your skin seems to have gotten a lot better, it's thin and smooth, and it's white and red." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at her proudly, stroked her long hair, and said with a little relief in her voice: "Maybe I'm pregnant with a daughter, so I'm getting better and better." It's good to have a daughter, but if you give birth to a son, you have to strangle it to death. ”

"Huh?" Ling Li didn't know what to do: "Why?" ”

Patriarchy is the norm, and when I come to Lu Xiaoxiao, as long as my daughter doesn't want a son, what is the reason?

Lu Xiaoxiao was a little impatient in her eyes, but she also patiently explained to her: "Didn't you say it?" I can't raise my son well, I'm such a strong single mother, and my emotional experience is bumpy, maybe I'll raise a mom boy. ”

When it comes to the issue of Ma Baonan, and the issue of the child's father, Ling Li pouted, not wanting to say another word on this issue.

After all, it is a matter between Lu Xiaoxiao and Li Guo, who is almost blank in terms of feelings, where is she qualified to be the role of the bystander?

The elevator at work is always very crowded, Lu Xiaoxiao is now delicate and expensive, where does Ling Li dare to pull her into the car.

After waiting for two waves and wasting more than ten minutes, I finally waited for an empty elevator.

Waiting on the eleventh floor, when the two of them passed by the front desk, Xiao Cheng suddenly stopped Ling Li.

"Sister Ling," the girl at the front desk smiled sweetly and glutinously, and bent down to hold a bouquet of flowers from under the table as if by magic: "Look, someone sent you flowers early in the morning." ”

Ling Li's scalp was numb, she subconsciously wanted to get rid of it, and said to Xiao Cheng with a dry smile: "How could it be mine?" It must have been sent by the wrong one. ”

"Why!" Xiao Cheng's smile added a bit of ambiguity: "The little brother who sent the flowers can explain it clearly and submit it to Lawyer Ling." There is no second lawyer Ling in our firm besides you. ”

Ling Li bit her lip, feeling Lu Xiaoxiao raise her eyebrows and look like she was watching a good show, only to feel that the bouquet seemed to have her mouth open, and she didn't even dare to stretch out her hand.

"It must have been sent by mistake, didn't you listen to Lu Chengling?"

If you don't do it, you just put the pot on the scourge next door.

Before Lu Xiaoxiao could refute, Xiao Cheng had already cut through the mess and took out a card from the bouquet: "This card is clearly written!" Your recipient, even if you hear it wrong, I still know the words. ”

Unexpectedly, even the name was written, and it was impossible to live or die, so Ling Li had to take the bouquet of flowers with a meaningful smile on Xiao Cheng's face.

didn't hold it steady for a while, the card just now fell to the ground, and the side with the words was facing up, with a line of words dancing on it: "The queen of the night, give it to you who is clear and transparent." ”

Except for a short sentence, there is no payment and no contact information.

"Oh~~It's so meaty~~ I'll just say there's a situation~~" Lu Xiaoxiao stretched her voice and squeezed her eyebrows, Ling Li habitually ignored her many scenes, and before she had time to add drama to herself, she hid back in her lattice with the flowers.

As for who gave the flowers, Ling Li knew very well.

In fact, the moment I saw the flower just now, the face with thin eyebrows and fine eyes jumped into my mind.

The one who keeps calling her Lawyer Ling must be the client, and except for Xie Keer, who only openly and honestly said that he wanted to pursue her last Friday, no one else seems to be doing such useless work.

His words from last Friday are still ringing in my ears. His deliberate approach before made Ling Li a little scared, but at least his last sentence still hit her a little.

The obvious sincerity in his eyes made her feel unbearable for a moment, and even blamed herself for being too ruthless.

At that time, I was so dizzy that I forgot to reject him on the spot.

There is Lu Xiaoxiao everywhere who she never thinks it is a big deal, knowing that Ling Li is avoiding her, but she just came over to gossip, her eyes are shining: "Black tulips, high-end goods." Yes, the person who sent you the flowers is either rich or sincere, how about it? Do you know who it is? ”

Ling Li opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

She wanted to throw the flowers away, out of sight and out of mind, but the flowers were innocent.

After thinking about it for a long time, she still found a bottle filled with water and planted the flowers. It's just that it's not placed in a prominent place in front of the table, but piled up behind a thick pile of codex, and with the backlight, the black and slimy mass is not so noticeable.

Lu Xiaoxiao watched her go in and out for a while, and finally the tulip that was beaten into the cold palace was full of pain: "Such a good flower, why are you hiding it?" Tyrannical Treasure! ”

Ling Li didn't want to mention this matter at all, took out the case file materials to be used in the afternoon, shook her swollen head, and waved her fist at her, saying impatiently: "You shut up for me!" ”
