Chapter 123: Does it make him feel ashamed
This encounter with Wen Shanglin is also a must-do at this moment, but I don't want to agree to it so directly.
This is the only sky garden restaurant in Yicheng - Anmei Yidis Restaurant!
It was built in the sixth century B.C. by Nebuchadnezzar II of the Babylonian kingdom in the city of Babylon for her homesick princess Ammeidis, but it no longer exists.
Yicheng's Anmei Yidis is a replica of the Babylon Hanging Garden, where all the flowers and trees are planted in the villa, and the long vines cover the spiral staircase on the top floor of the entire villa, so from a distance, the garden seems to be suspended in mid-air.
Extraordinarily spectacular, but also extraordinarily beautiful!
There are only two garden seats in this restaurant.
It has been said that if a gentleman chooses a garden seat for that young lady, it must be because that woman has a great deal of weight in his heart.
Just below the villa's restaurant, a car came from a distance and came to a quiet stop.
Zong Quan got out of the car and opened the door, "Miss Lin." β
Mansheng got out of the car, she looked up at the villa, and only felt that the greenery in front of her was cute. She lowered her eyes, then turned her head and said, "Xiaoquan, I can go up by myself, it won't be too long." β
β¦β¦
The staircase of the villa swirled, with ivory white wood grain, all the way up. Under the leadership of the waiter, the vine walked up slowly.
All around is full of flowers, and those trees and plants surround people, almost walking in the shade of greenery.
Just ahead, there was a retro round table in the building, and Wen Shanglin sat quietly at one end of the round table.
His gaze didn't seem to have shifted, so it had been falling on her since she went to the top.
Today's Lin Mansheng is wearing a beige coat in winter, which is almost pure beige, almost white. So under the sun, her fair face is also very transparent. I don't know when it began, her makeup is elegant but delicate, and she walks towards her picturesquely.
As she approached, the waiter immediately pulled out a chair for her, "Miss, please take a seat." β
"Thank you." Mansheng thanked him softly and sat down quietly.
Although it is winter, the weather today is gloomy and sunny.
On the round table are vases of the same vintage, blooming with the warmest flowers of winter, and everything is beautiful. In such a season, it is really rare.
Wen Shanglin smiled, "I ordered a bottle of red wine, can I have a drink?" β
"I have a driver in charge of driving, so it doesn't matter." Overgrowth has responded.
The waiter opened the red wine for the two of them and filled the glasses in front of them.
Wen Shanglin took the red wine and tasted it gently, "Taste it." β
She just smiled and said, "You don't have to taste it to know that it must be a very expensive variety." β
"Since when did you start talking about value and money as soon as you opened your mouth?" This is something that Wen Shanglin has never discovered before.
Mansheng looked at him and asked, "Since when did you choose such a romantic restaurant for your customers?" β
"I'm different from person to person." Wen Shanglin frowned, surprised by her rebuttal, but also novel.
"Coincidentally, I'm also different from person to person." β
For a moment, it seems that no one will back down, which really makes others look at it and don't know how to continue.
The manager in charge of the restaurant was wearing a black suit and served on his side, and he asked with a timely smile, "Mr. and Miss, do you want to order first?" β
The young lady present remained silent, maintaining her smile all the time.
A gust of wind blew, but Wen Shanglin said, "You should be hungry when you come over, order food." β
"There's no hurry." Mansheng refused, "After drinking this cup, it's too late to order more." β
This seemed to be a stalemate, Wen Shanglin waved his hand, and the managers and waiters present all stepped back, "I want to talk to Miss Lin first." β
With no one else, this hanging garden is even more expansive.
"What do you think of here?" Wen Shanglin suddenly asked, "I remember one time you were reading a magazine and talked about it. β
I still remember that at that time, he occasionally came back one afternoon, and happened to hear her and Shao Xuan chatting, probably talking about the newly opened restaurants in Yicheng, among which was this Anmei Yidis restaurant.
Hearing his words, her thoughts flew past in the wind, and she remembered that there was indeed such a thing.
β¦β¦
At that time, Mansheng was still living in Nanxiangju in the other courtyard, living a step-by-step life as a young grandmother.
At that time, Zeng Ruoshui was busy with work, and Shao Xuan happened to be free, so he came to accompany her.
Shao Xuan is an interior designer, so she has a special interest in architecture in her professional field. The Hanging Gardens are the legend they had heard of when they were young, the emperor who loved the princess so much that he built a castle for her.
Shao Xuan sighed even more: This restaurant is so expensive! And I've heard that only reservations are accepted, so you may not be able to get in just because you have money!
There is the expensive Haitian Tower revolving restaurant in the front, and this sky garden restaurant in the latter, which is simply out of reach!
Mansheng held the magazine and read it again and again, because she was too yearning for that legend that was close to a fairy tale, she couldn't help but say: The revolving restaurant can see the night view, but this garden restaurant must be just as beautiful during the day! Xiao Xuan, I'll take you and Ruoshui in the future!
Shao Xuan nodded again and again: Okay, okay, Miss Lin, you can take us with you! No, you should be the young grandmother of the Wen family! With such an identity and such a name, who will not let you in?
But at that time, Xu was too yearning for a while, and forgot his identity, in fact, he was not recognized by the Wen family at all, but he still talked about jokes, and wanted to give himself a little motivation and expectations, so he responded: What he said is also true!
Her boastful words were heard by Wen Shanglin, who suddenly returned!
"Knock knock-" The knock on the door that day suddenly woke them all up!
When Shao Xuan saw Wen Shanglin, it was like facing an enemy, cautious and panicked, one was that her identity was different, Wen Shanglin was too high, and the other was afraid that she would be involved, after all, her status in the Wen family was too unbearable.
Wen Shanglin smiled and said: You continue to talk, I just came back to get a shirt.
Shao Xuan hurriedly pushed her up and asked her to help.
As the young grandmother of the Wen family, she got up and went into the dressing room to look for a shirt for Wen Shanglin.
At the moment when the shirt was handed to him, Wen Shanglin's sneering male voice came: You really dare to think that it is not enough to be a young grandmother at home, and you want to go outside to show off your might!
β¦β¦
Showing off your might......
That's what he said at the time.
"yes, I've always wanted to be here." At this moment, Mansheng remembered the past, but responded calmly. Sweeping her gaze to the foreground, she smiled and said, "But it turns out, but that's it." β
"This restaurant is more difficult to book than Haitian's revolving restaurant!" Wen Shanglin saw her cold appearance, but he was dissatisfied!
"So, what are you booking this table for?" Creep asked as he spoke.
Wen Shanglin was asked by her, but he was a little stunned, and he couldn't answer for a while.
Mansheng didn't ask for an answer, she then asked, "Do you want to exchange the 300 acres of land in your hand for my shares, so you want to entertain me with a banquet?" β
"Even if I really think so, if I feast you here, you will hand over the shares?" Wen Shanglin asked, suddenly looked at her and said, "No, you definitely won't!" β
If the more than 1,000 acres of land is a treasure that she refuses to withdraw, then the shares in her hand are the only trump card and a symbol of her identity!
Without shares, she is nothing in Jinyue in the Lin family!
"That's right, you're right." "At this point, you really know me. β
"Anyway, we've been husband and wife for five years!" Wen Shanglin said coldly.
"Since you know that I won't hand over the shares, isn't it a waste for you to put this game in place?" Mansheng smiled, and suddenly she stared at her eyes and asked again, "What are you trying so hard for?" β
This voice was a bit of a pun, Wen Shanglin raised his eyebrows and said, "You made an appointment with me today, Director Lin." β
"But you're here anyway." "And we have decided on such a restaurant......
"According to the rules of the guest and the host, I want to ask Director Lin, what is the purpose of your appointment with me today?" Having said that, Wen Shanglin didn't mean to be half a guest.
Mansheng looked at him fixedly and said, "Yi Shan said that it was you who set a trap and deliberately arranged it to make her fail in the project in Ice City, and it was you who introduced the contact person and said that it was very reliable, so she would be gullible." It was you who caused it to make her end up being deceived. β
She said lightly, not questioning or interrogating, just saying this, she had already made up her mind, "Yishan's temperament is impulsive and reckless, and when others say a few words, she will believe it." β
"She often talks nonsense, and she doesn't say anything less to slander you, a sister like her, even if she is related to you, what she says can be believed?" Wen Shanglin couldn't help but smile and asked.
Mansheng was also smiling, but there was boundless depth in her shallow eyes, "Other things, she may be talking nonsense, but as long as it is related to me, even if she thinks she thinks it is true!" For example, if it wasn't for my trickery, I would never have married into the Wen family, and she was not wrong! β
She even admitted it?
Wen Shanglin suddenly felt stunned, in the five years he knew her, every time he thought that he would be involved with her, the beginning was the scene of being "caught raped in bed" that day!
Every time Wen Shanglin mentions it, she is silent and silent!
When he was confronted by him one day and was on the verge of collapse, she shouted: I didn't want to do that!
But now, she actually admitted that she was doing it herself!
"Since you have to admit it one day, what did you do when you pretended to be innocent!" Wen Shanglin sneered and said, but I don't know what's going on, and my heart palpitates.
"So, now you admit it, don't you?" Mansheng said coldly, "If the project of Bingcheng fails, even if you don't participate in the whole process, you will lead it!" β
Wen Shanglin was silent at this time, but his silence seemed to be equivalent to that he had already admitted it.
"The 300 acres of land you want to take out now are exchanged for shares, do you really want to become the owner of Jinyue?" Creeping said quietly, but at the same time he couldn't understand him, "What's in it for you to do such a thankless thing?" Or, because the divorce was finally proposed by me, your self-esteem was hit, so you were unwilling, so you tried every means to crusade? β
"Wen Shanglin, you keep saying it, I will regret it, when I cry, you don't hesitate to pester me, and always refuse to let me go, do you really want to get back together with me?" Suddenly, a possibility that had never been imagined came out of the mouth of the man.
But it was shocked into Wen Shanglin's heart!
It's like a lake that was originally clear and clean, but when the cold winter comes, countless frosts and ice have accumulated. And this cold winter has never left since it arrived, so the ice has never been unraveled.
But because of these words, the frozen lake was suddenly smashed open by a knife, and a hole was opened, which caught Wen Shanglin off guard.
In the silence of each other, Wen Shanglin smiled disdainfully, "The word compound is not what you said, I just want you to know that you can enter our Wen family, but leaving the Wen family is not something you can withdraw casually!" Even if you do pull out, you will always have to pay the price! β
Since the topic has been picked up, he no longer has any scruples, Wen Shanglin even said, "Lin Mansheng! Your father will not let the shares held by the Lin family fall into the hands of outsiders, but this time, there is no other way to change it! At the end of the day, what kind of solution will he propose? β
Just back then, Father Lin's proposal was directly - marriage!
"I didn't expect that at such a time, you, the dignified Wen Clan's President Wen, would be willing to remarry me?" Creep has also understood.
There was really some joy of success, Wen Shanglin smiled, "I will still accept you and let you live back in Nanxiangju, are you very surprised and happy?" Don't worry, if you enter the Wen family again this time, I won't let you enter or exit through the back door again! After all, you're also the director of Jinyue now! However, after entering the Wen family, I don't have to work anymore! β
Should she be grateful for his generosity? Or is he a different kind of person?
"Do you know the story of cats and fish?" Creeping asked suddenly.
Wen Shanglin was a little puzzled, and heard her say slowly, "That little cat has always wanted to get a fish, so it goes to the river every day to catch fish." But the river was too fast, and the fish swam too fast for the kitten to catch the fish. The kitten saw that there was a fisherman next to him, and the fisherman liked to tease the kitten to pass the time, and the kitten thought to himself, if I stayed obediently, the fisherman would give it a small fish. β
"I waited and waited, but when the summer was over, the rivers were frozen in the winter, and the fishermen did not give the kitten a fish. Then the next year, the fisherman came again, and he was finally willing to give the fish, but the kitten didn't want it anymore. Creeping whispered a story, her eyes bright.
"There are some things that you don't want anymore, you just won't think about them anymore!" Mansheng smiled, but he was more resolute than he had ever been, "What's more, I never really wanted to!" β
What does she mean by that?
Wen Shanglin was a little dazed for a moment, the wind blew through her hair, slightly messy, "The wind here is too big." I'm afraid of the cold, so I'll go first. β
"Do you think Lin Yishan will really come to beg you? She's always against you! Her figure had disappeared from front of her, and Wen Shanglin said coldly, "Do you want to choose to help her!" β
The pace of sprawling suddenly stopped, Wen Shanglin only thought that she had finally turned back, but she heard her say without warning, "In your eyes, I am so good at acting, and his acting skills are not bad, aren't we the most tacit couple?" β
What did she say?
Wen Shanglin was dumbfounded, watching her figure disappear in disbelief, and the whole person was shocked!
β¦β¦
Lin's Jinyueββ
Lin Yishan was escorted to the company by Lin Yifan, and apologized for her indecent behavior in the conference room yesterday. As long as everyone was present before, Lin Yishan apologized one by one. This morning, just apologizing made her run for hours.
Lin Yifan's next words made Lin Yishan even more annoyed, "What? You're asking me to go and apologize to Director Wei now? β
Lin Yifan said in a deep voice, "You said that yesterday about his improper relationship with the eldest sister, what do you think he would think in his heart?" At this time, another Wittur director had already resigned, and if he did resign, there would be no independent directors in the company! The end of the year is coming, and when the year-end meeting comes, the directors will be held accountable! β
Lin Yishan didn't know it would be so serious, and now that she thinks about it, she feels annoyed!
But it was already like this, and she couldn't help but flinch!
"You have to go! Gotta go! Lin Yifan said even more resolutely, "Stabilize Director Wei, at least you have to apologize, and you must bow and apologize seriously!" Even if he resigns at that time, then the director can still have a legitimate statement here! β
"But ......"
"Lin Yishan! If you don't go, you really don't have to go home! Lin Yifan directly called her name, you can imagine how anxious he is now!
β¦β¦
The afternoon was peaceful, but the cold sunlight on the top layer of the sea and sky seemed to have no temperature, probably because the high places were really too cold.
But in the cold house without heating, Wei Rong sat quietly alone, holding a book in his hand, flipping through it casually.
"Rong Shao, it's the second miss of Lin's Jinyue, she just called, saying that someone has gone downstairs to Haitian Mansion and wants to see you!" Fang Yizhen stepped forward.
"Didn't tell her, I'm not available?" Wei Rong asked out loud.
"It's already been said, but that Miss Yishan said that she came to apologize, very sincerely!" Fang Yizhen said again.
Wei Rong's head didn't raise either, and his cold side face was even colder than this world, "Since I have already told her that she has to wait, it is her own choice." β
"Yes."
After a long timeβ
Zong Quan turned back, "Rong Shao, I just drove Miss Lin to the west of the city, before Miss Lin went to Anmei Yidis's villa restaurant to meet Mr. Wen of Jia Rui, but there was no lunch, Miss Lin left directly. β
Ame Edith?
"Princess of Babylon." Wei Rong whispered, as if he was interested in this restaurant.
Fang Yizhen saw that it was too cold here, and couldn't help but propose, "Rong Shao, why don't you go and take a look?" β
As soon as the words came out, I felt that it was inappropriate, Miss Lin and that Mr. Wen had just been there, if Rong Shao went again, wouldn't it be like a deliberate trip?
Unexpectedly, Wei Rong put away the book and put it away, and actually got up and said, "I haven't sketched for a long time, let's go and take a look." β
β¦β¦
Zong Quan immediately prepared the drawing board and painting tools, and Fang Yizhen stepped forward to prepare the coat for him, "Rong Shao, everything is ready." β
Outside the Haitian Building, because of the sunshine, it is much warmer than the inside of the house. Zong Quan stepped forward to open the door, Fang Yizhen followed, but saw a slightly trembling figure standing outside!
It turned out to be Lin Yishan, the second lady of the Lin family!
Just now, after Lin Yishan was asked to leave, she was directly instructed by Fang Yizhen not to enter again. Because Lin Yishan originally refused to listen, she was finally forced out for disrupting Anning.
But who would have thought that she never left, and actually stayed here and waited!
The patience of the second lady of the Lin family is surprisingly good at this time!
"Director Captain!" As soon as Lin Yishan saw him, although she felt extremely humiliated, she had to step forward, "Please accept my apology, I was wrong before, I'm really sorryββ! β
Just in front of the building, Lin Yishan stood in front of Wei Rong, she bowed and apologized, "If you don't accept it, I'll continue to wait here!" β
She was still groveling, as if she couldn't wait for him to respond!
Wei Rong glanced at her and said, "You can continue to wait, but I advise you, even if it is a stone tablet, I will not accept it." β
After saying that, Wei Rong had already passed her and left-
β¦β¦
The car drove up to a hillside with a watchtower at the top of the hillside.
After Zongquan negotiated, he went directly to the top of the tower.
Set up all the drawing boards, facing the opposite side of the watchtower, in the distance, you can see the hanging garden restaurant of Ammeiedith!
Zong Quan and Fang Yizhen didn't understand the reason before, but after they arrived here and climbed to the top of the tower, they all understood.
The two stepped aside, and Wei Rong quietly began to paint. Drawings without paint, only sketch pens are sketching at the moment.
Surrounded by flowers, the garden seemed to be a product of something that did not belong to this world.
Fang Yizhen was looking at the garden restaurant in the distance, but Zong Quan was comparing the real thing in front of him and the pictures on the drawing board, and it didn't take long for the drawings to take shape.
Wei Rong raised his eyes from time to time and looked into the distance with a telescope. The pavilion could see clearly that the bottle of red wine was still on the table, and two wine glasses were among them, one slightly less than the other.
Because it was wrapped, even if the guests left, they never moved.
Sitting and drinking, the hanging garden, isn't it just to convey the heart of admiration?
β¦β¦
The office came here to discuss the debt recovery issues that had been sued at hand, but who knew that Zhao Feiming said, "Director Lin, that boy is waiting for you again!" β
If it was the previous time, there was not much impression, then when it was mentioned at this moment, it would be remembered immediately.
Mansheng was also surprised, "He's still waiting for me?" β
"Do you want to ask him to go? Just say you're not there? Zhao Feiming asked.
Mansheng thought about it, but stopped him, "Just let him in." β
β¦β¦
The boy came in under the leadership of Zhao Feiming. A stubborn boy with a heroic but childish face, although cramped, he is not panicked or afraid.
"Lawyer Zhao, you go out first." Mansheng commanded, and Zhao Feiming nodded and left.
Seeing that he seemed to be cold, a cup of hot tea was poured for him in the lounge, "Sit down and have a cup of tea." β
The boy sat down decisively, but he was very obedient.
After drinking half a cup of tea, the paleness on the boy's face faded, and his complexion had warmed up.
Only then did he ask him, "I heard that you have been waiting for me, why?" β
The boy looked at her, and suddenly stopped talking.
"If you want to thank me for helping you that day, you don't have to be so angry. If you still have to repay it, then sweep the floor of this office. β
After listening to this, the boy went directly out of the lounge, picked up the broom and began to clean, and the people outside were stunned!
Zhao Feiming hurriedly asked, "Director Lin, what's going on?" β
"Let him clean up, or he'll be upset if he eats someone else's stuff for nothing." Creeping said with a smile.
β¦β¦
After reading the documents on Mansheng's side, the boy also finished cleaning and knocked on the door and came in, "I've finished sweeping, you can check it." β
Mansheng nodded, "No need to check, I see that your hair is so straight, so it must be clean." β
"What does it have to do with straight hair!" The boy asked.
"Haven't you heard? Straight hair, must be a stubborn temper, my mother said. Mansheng said with a smile, the boy was a little embarrassed, and then smiled in amazement.
This was the first smile I had seen since I saw this boy, and he said softly, "Now you don't owe me anything, you don't have to wait for me every day." β
The boy was silent for a long time, but suddenly said, "But, I want to follow you!" β
"Me?" It made Mansheng stunned, she really didn't expect it, "Why do you think like this?" β
The boy said very directly, "I think you are not small, and you should be famous if you follow you!" β
"How do you tell?" Mansheng asked a little freshly, this is the first time, and someone will take the initiative to say that they want to follow themselves.
The boy said, "I saw you that day, there are many people around you, I have seen the female bosses of those big enterprises and their daughters, and there are many people around them!" You say you're not a lawyer here, but they all seem to listen to you, and you're better than every one of them! β
"Maybe you're wrong, maybe they're listening to me because I'm a customer, or maybe because someone else." Creeping smiles.
The boy didn't care at all, but still urged and asked, "Then do you want me to follow you now?" β
Mansheng didn't give an answer, she closed the file and replied, "If you can find my company and show up in front of me, then I will have a good talk with you." β
β¦β¦
At night, the winter in Yicheng is particularly dark.
In the gorgeous night, Mansheng accompanied him to a high-end club.
Tonight, Lin Yifan invited a guest from Bingcheng, who was the person in charge sent by Ou Yan, the project partner. Fang Cai had already had dinner together, and now that he came here, Manager Wang, the person in charge of the other party, even asked Lin Mansheng to continue to accompany him during the banquet. Sprawling followed, but she couldn't adapt to such a place.
Mansheng brought an in-service team leader of the company's security department over this time, Gao Jin is a man after all, and he is in good health, so he is also relieved. It's just that even if you go with you, you can only be left aside to stand and wait when you arrive at the clubhouse.
"Director Lin! Come and drink, have another drink! The other party began to pour wine, and Mansheng also drank cup by cup.
Speaking of which, the amount of alcohol is not bad, and it looks good compared to ordinary women. Therefore, after more than ten cups, she is still not drunk, but very sober!
It's just that she already understood, so she gradually frowned.
From the beginning of the dinner to the present, the other party has made it clear that she has no intention of talking sincerely, but she can only continue to negotiate, trying to find a second way!
Finally, after Mansheng drank another glass, she felt a little uncomfortable, so she got up with a smile, "I'm sorry, Manager Wang, I'll go out first, and I'll be back in a while......"
As soon as Mansheng walked out of the box, Gao Jin immediately followed, "Director Lin, are you okay?" β
"It's okay......" Mansheng endured, she just wanted to go to the bathroom.
But in the aisle, when he looked up, he saw a group of people coming towards him, the lights were a little dazzling, and he felt slightly dizzy because he had drunk too much wine.
But after fixing his eyes, he saw it thoroughly.
The person in front of him, led by Zeng Lounan!
And the other person is actually Wei Rong!
They walked side by side, one handsome, the other graceful, each showing their own unique masculine charm, but it made the women on both sides review frequently. There are many rich and powerful men in this world, but there are few men with good looks. What's more, it's still two men who appear together!
Mansheng didn't know that they would come, and they were still in the clubhouse, and they didn't expect to meet them.
Mansheng watched Wei Rong gradually get closer.
But it seems that it is the first time to meet him in this kind of Fengyue place.
"Creeping?" Zeng Lounan was a little surprised when he saw her. After all, as the daughter of the family, it is really difficult to appear here. Even if it was Zeng Ruoshui, the Zeng family would never allow her to drink like this outside, and it was also a place for men to have fun.
But Mansheng was very disapproving, but shouted very politely, "Mr. Zeng." β
"You're here to socialize?" Wei Rong already understands that what she calls overtime today is like this!
This "Mr. Zeng" showed his identity, but Zeng Lounan still frowned, but he didn't say much, just changed his words, "I met you so coincidentally, I made an appointment with Director Wei today." β
Creep smiled and nodded, she had already seen it.
"Mr. Zeng, I have a few words to say to Director Lin." Wei Rong said.
Zeng Lounan certainly understood, and replied "slow chat" and went to his box first.
As soon as the person left, Mansheng turned his head to look at Gao Jindao behind him, "Team Leader Gao, you go back to the box first." β
"What a coincidence." Mansheng turned her head to look at Wei Rong again, and she whispered.
She was slightly drunk, after drinking, her face was pink, she took off her coat, the lace-up bow on the front of her shirt had slipped off unconsciously, and the skin at the collar was open, and she looked like she was defenseless and could be attacked at will, which was simply a crime!
"You are the director of Jinyue! Not a female PR! Wei Rong stared at him, and he said coldly, "What is it like to accompany the wine and laugh here!" β
Did he think she would be willing? Is she really happy?
So, is it a shame for him now?
Mansheng still had a smile on her face, but she didn't know that she was about to stiffen when she laughed today, and she also replied coldly, "Even if it is a female publicist, it depends on her own ability!" β
