Chapter 20: Decision-making

Zhong Wenshi committed suicide. Use your expertise to extract the pure, deadly venom from the tiger thorn merry that can be found everywhere in the courtyard. Even detailed steps and records were left behind.

His body and belongings have all been transferred. Liang Wan sat in the living room, holding the "Lancet" in his hand, and the title page of the magazine read: My wish in this life has been fulfilled, and there is nothing to love in life. Inside was a letter to his only daughter, Zhong Lingshu.

After Zhang Rishan saw it, he put it back as it was and sent it away.

"Where did you send the teacher?" Her voice was hoarse. Zhang Rishan handed her a bottle of mineral water that had been carefully unscrewed, but she didn't answer.

"Tomorrow's report will be that Professor Chung committed suicide in his apartment."

Her petite body curled up on the couch. Zhang Rishan held her hand: "Liang Wan, tell me what you are thinking?" ”

He was used to being in control, and today's event was undoubtedly an accident, and he was a little uneasy. These uneasiness are all about Liangwan. He couldn't see her clearly.

"Are you blaming me?" Seriously, he had this concern.

"I know you don't want anything to happen to him."

She was right, he was the last to want Professor Zhong to have an accident. Because Zhong Wenshi's existence is still valuable to Zhang Rishan, not that he Zhang Rishan is in awe of life. In his eyes, human life that has nothing to do with him is no different from other commodities, they are all commodities marked with price tags.

Zhang Qishan's situation is not 100% stable, and he still needs him. What's more, he has a certain weight in Liang Wan's heart.

But he knew that Liang Wan was different from him. Her heart is soft. So it's easy to get hurt; She is also very strong, she carries many things by herself, she is kind, and she is used to looking at others with the greatest kindness, but at the same time, she is smart and sees through many things.

Liangwan is the purest white.

………………………………………………………………

Zhong Lingshu did not believe that his father would commit suicide.

But the letter was indeed in my father's handwriting, and the style of the language was clearly his.

"Kiss my son's spiritual book,

When you read this letter, I am no longer alive. Don't doubt, don't resent, don't be sad. If I don't make such a choice, with my body, I'm afraid I still have to live. But I have no regrets in this life, I have done everything I should do, being too greedy will not only suffer myself, but will also harm the people around me in the end. Life is too short to be happy; There is no end to learning, don't go alone. Go first for your father, and go to your mother. You take care of yourself. ”

Zhong Lingshu looked through it repeatedly, and he could almost memorize it. This suicide note looks ordinary and traceable.

"Liang Wan, I know that he returned to China to see you three months ago, you must know something, tell me."

Liang Wan didn't dare to look her eyes. She hadn't lied to her, but she didn't want to tell her what had happened. So there was no direct answer.

"This is the teacher's choice, Lingshu, I am as sad as you."

Zhong Lingshu is proficient in behavioral psychology, and Liang Wan is transparent in her eyes.

"You really know, don't you? But you can't tell me. She put away her father's suicide note, "Maybe you think it's better if I don't know." But Liang Wan, I Zhong Lingshu never needed false comfort, I wanted the truth. Even if it's a bloody, ugly truth. ”

Zhong Lingshu handled the aftermath for his father in an orderly manner.

She didn't show much sadness. Cremation, setting up a funeral hall, counting relics, dealing with the influx of media. Secretly investigate his father's traces in recent years. She didn't have much time to be sad.

Liang Wan has not seen Zhong Lingshu since the funeral. She would occasionally hear news of Zhong Lingshu from Zhang Yanwen.

She moved out of Zhong Lingshu's apartment, and she didn't really want to live in Xiyuan. Therefore, an application for dormitory accommodation was submitted to the hospital.

She called Zhong Lingshu to meet and wanted to hand over the key to her in person, wanting to know how she was doing.

Zhong Lingshu was silent for a moment, and then said on the phone: "You feel guilty about me, so you can't live in peace anymore, can you?" ”

"No, I told you, I live with my boyfriend now......"

Zhong Lingshu was silent for a moment, she hated her current self a little. Whether Liang Wan knew the cause of his father's death or not, but her father's death was not caused by her after all, she just relied on Liang Wan's tolerance for her and vented her irrepressible sadness.

"Wanwan Sorry ......"

Hearing the crying on the phone, Liang Wan became anxious: "Lingshu, don't cry, don't be afraid, you still have me......"

"I'm sorry...... I know you're sad too, so I'm still ...... you."

Liang Wan couldn't help crying, during this time, she was really, really sad.

Zhang Rishan was attracted by Liang Wan's cry. Seeing that she was on the phone, I guessed that the person on the other end of the phone should be Zhong Lingshu. It didn't bother. It's better to cry out than to suppress it.

Liang Wan and Zhong Lingshu cried and laughed, and reconciled.

"Speaking of which, I haven't met the boyfriend you've been thinking about yet, so let's just take this opportunity to come out and meet him."

Liang Wan couldn't find a reason to refuse. So it was decided.

turned around and saw Zhang Rishan standing at the door.

Liang Wan was reluctant to move to his master bedroom, and since Zhang Rishan returned to Xiyuan, he would basically stay overnight in the guest room where Liang Wan was.

"You're back."

He stepped forward and hugged her.

nestled in his arms and told him about making an appointment with Zhong Lingshu.

Zhang Rishan immediately called his assistant to arrange everything.

…………………………………………………………

The meeting was made at the restaurant Linxian Building, which was not far from Zhong Lingshu's residence.

The place Zhang Rishan picked is naturally not an ordinary place. The Chinese-style decoration is full of antiquity. Along the way, there were only waiters in an orderly manner, and no other guests were seen.

Zhong Lingshu was still here for the first time, and he only felt that he had come to another world.

"Why didn't you see any other guests along the way?"

"The customers here are regular customers, and they usually eat in their own private rooms."

"Then this Mr. Zhang Rishan also often comes here to eat?"

"President Zhang doesn't come often."

I don't come often and pack an exclusive private room, so luxurious.

Zhang Rishan and Liang Wan have already arrived. The moment Zhong Lingshu saw Zhang Rishan, he couldn't find the right words to describe it in his profound knowledge, and he only had "I'm X, so handsome!" "This instinctive and crude word.

It stands to reason that Zhong Lingshu is Liang Wan's best friend, at least he has seen Zhang Rishan's photos, right? She really didn't. Given that Liang Wan had dated high-value scumbags before, when Liang Wan excitedly described to her how handsome her new boyfriend was, she had no interest in knowing what he looked like. So much so that Liang Wan and Zhang Rishan have been dating for half a year. It was the first time I knew what he looked like.

"Hello, I'm Zhang Rishan, and I've heard the name of Dr. Zhong for a long time."

"Zhong Lingshu."

Zhong Lingshu was born into a medical family, and has a deep intersection with the so-called upper class. She carefully studied and observed all aspects of Zhang Rishan as if unintentionally, and finally came to the conclusion that he was at least a rich third generation, who had been in a high position for a long time, and the city government was quite deep. Liang Wan will definitely not be able to play him. So I was worried about Liang Wan's relationship. Although her face was not obvious, her cold eyes and words revealed her thoughts. Liang Wan couldn't see it, but Zhang Rishan saw it.

Liang Wan has no family and no siblings. The father and daughter of the Zhong family have been regarded as family by Liang Wan in a certain sense. Not receiving the blessing of his own mother. Zhang Rishan still hopes to make Liang Wan's friends become staunch supporters of their feelings. He didn't want any more twists and turns between him and Liang Wan.

Zhong Lingshu is gossiping with Liang Wan about interesting things. made Liang Wan smile.

"The promotion and evaluation of professional titles in China now also depends on academic qualifications, Wanwan, you are a master, and you are trampled on the ground by those postdoctoral fellows every minute. Really not thinking about doing a PhD? You can be an alumnus with me, I showed my professor your paper. He's very interested in you......"

Liang Wan didn't have time to answer, but was interrupted by Zhang Rishan with a smile, "I'm sorry, please allow me to interject." Wanwan, what I told you in the hospital before my last business trip, do you remember? ”

Liang Wan was stunned, of course she remembered, but she hoped that what he said was not the same thing as what she thought.

"I said we'd get married when I got back, and you said yes."

He pulled out a delicate jewelry box. When it opens, it's a diamond ring.

"The ring was ready for a long time, and I always carried it with me. Our name is engraved on it. I just couldn't find the right time. I think now is a good time. Since Miss Chung is Wanwan's best friend, she just gives us a witness, how about it? ”

As soon as he made this move, although it was unexpected by Liang Wan, it directly dispelled Zhong Lingshu's worries. What promise is there for a woman like marriage. A man's willingness to marry a woman is, of course, proof that the man is serious about the woman.

"My pleasure." Kicked Liang Wan under the table. Motioned for her to react.

Zhang Rishan picked up her left hand. "When you get married, you can still do what you want to do. If you want to go to the United States to study for a PhD, I fully support you. He looked into her eyes and said sincerely, "Liang Wan, are you ready to marry me?" ”

Zhong Lingshu complained in his heart: It's not about asking if you're willing, but if you're ready, it's really cunning.

Liang Wan wanted to withdraw his hand. But it didn't work out. Zhong Lingshu looked at Liang Wan inexplicably, and by the way, he sweated for Zhang Rishan.

She smiled reluctantly: "Zhang Rishan, let's go back and talk about it, okay?" ”

His heart kept sinking, so much so that he pinched Liang Wan's hand. She didn't say anything. Realizing his own abnormality, he unloaded his strength, but he did not let go.

He smiled and said, "Okay, listen to you." ”

……………………………………………………………

Zhang Rishan didn't say a word in the car, and the air was a little depressed.

Liang Wanhui shook his hand. He put down the acoustic panels. He didn't speak, he took her to his lap and kissed her. It goes on and on, and then it gets heavier and heavier. The hands that unbuttoned her blouse were pressed by Liang Wan. He paused and looked at her with a smile that saddened her.

Liang Wan couldn't resist the temptation between his eyebrows, held his face with both hands, followed his example, took his beautiful thin lips, and used the tip of his tongue to delicately trace the outline of the lip flap.

………………………………………………

Liang Wan felt that she was carried out of the car by Zhang Rishan and carried her all the way back to the room, but she was too tired to move, so he put her in the bathtub to clean up her body. When he opened his eyes, there was no figure of Zhang Rishan beside him. A double ring on the left hand and a diamond ring on the ring finger come into view.

She got up barefoot and walked out of the bedroom and walked towards the study where Zhang Rishan had been staying for a long time. The servants she met on the road did not dare to look at her, and no one greeted her. Gives birth to a strange alienation.

Liang Wan shouted at the familiar figure: "Zhang Qing." ”

"Miss Liang." It's the same respectful, but it's not the same as ever.

"Tell me what happened? Why don't you see Uncle Zhong? "On weekdays, at this time, I always see Uncle Zhong's busy figure.

"Uncle Zhong will go back to the old lady of the Zhang family to do things from today onwards."

I see. For her sake, Zhang Rishan drove the old housekeeper who was loyal to him back to the old mansion. No wonder everyone doesn't want to pay attention to her. In their eyes, they have probably become a Daji-like existence. Again, she felt that the analogy was not appropriate. She is Daji, hasn't Zhang Rishan become the king?

Zhang Rishan is closing his eyes and recuperating.

Liang Wan walked in and saw two authoritative economic newspapers on the table. It was the two copies that had been in her room yesterday, and she had read them carefully.

The huge headlines on the homepage are all aimed at the Qiongqi Chamber of Commerce. The text is all about Zhang Rishan. The wording is quite harsh. Such articles appeared in newspapers and periodicals under national brands. It's scary to think about. The other is a statement by Zhang Rishan announcing his resignation as president of the Qiongqi Chamber of Commerce.

These newspapers and periodicals would not have appeared in Xiyuan without Uncle Zhong's permission, because Zhang Rishan did not allow it. But they still appeared in Liang Wan's bedroom.

He had never told her about it. If he hadn't seen these articles yesterday, Liang Wan wouldn't have paid attention to financial news at all. That day, she used her phone to search for related reports. It is complicated, and it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. But they are all singing about the decline of the Qiongqi Chamber of Commerce and the Zhang family.

"The men of the Zhang family always think that they are omnipotent, but they are not ......" Zhang He Yueying's words to her before echoed in her ears over and over again.

"Get up. Hungry or not? ”

As soon as Liang Wan came in, he found out. Finding that she was not wearing shoes, he frowned, got up and took out a pair of women's slippers, and asked her to sit down and put them on for her.

He half-squatted on the ground and looked up at Liang Wan who was sitting on the sofa.

"Did you turn down my marriage proposal because you read those reports?"

"Zhang Rishan, am I worth it?"

"In my heart, you deserve my life in exchange. But Liang Wan, do you remember? You said when we first got together that you would only believe what I said. No one else's will pay attention. ”

He knew that this was a bit difficult for her, after all, such a battle was unimaginable for her, an ordinary office worker.

"It's not that bad. If you stay with me, maybe in another three months, at most half a year, everything will have a result. “

Liang Wan nodded and shook his head again. He was willing to trade his life for it, but she wouldn't. Some people, some words, one by one.

"He has been walking on the edge of the knife, and life and death are only ...... in an instant"

"Would you rather look at the living Zhang Rishan from afar, or guard the dead Zhang Rishan......"

"He's with you, full of weaknesses......"

"Miss Liang, we don't want anything to happen to the president, if something happens to him, the Zhang family will be finished......"

Liang Wan traced his eyebrows with his fingers, with a reluctant expression on his face, and words against his will.

"Zhang Rishan, let's get here."
