Wei Jieling is very calm when facing Qi Chuan Xun, she has nothing to rely on Qi Chuan Xun, so she is neither humble nor arrogant when she speaks. The latter asked her about the progress of the lawsuit, and she only said that the court had only sent the summons and that she had not yet met Wei Yingguo.

Qi Chuan Xun was reluctant to let her see Wei Yingguo, so he proposed to find a private house for Wei Jieling. Because once the brother and sister reconcile, then her plan will be lost.

"I have a question for Consul Sukawa, Secretary Ono once told me......" Wei Jieling said this, pausing deliberately to peek at Ono Meidai's reaction. Although the latter's face did not change, his frightened expression could not be concealed in any way. Wei Jieling smiled, and then said the second half of the sentence that was enough to pronounce the fate of Ono Meidai, "She said that you care about this business very much and hope that I can win the lawsuit." ”

Ono relieved herself, a ring of sweat on her neck, and a faint mark of water on the collar of her shirt around her neck.

Qi Chuan Shun nodded lightly: "Yes, I very much hope that Lao Weigong's will can be executed, not only because Lao Weigong is a friend of the Japanese Empire, but also because I have had the same experience as you, but I lost the lawsuit, so I didn't get a penny, no inheritance, and no dowry." ”

She said these words with a calm face, which surprised both Wei Jieling and Ono Meidai, who immediately left the table and bowed to Qi Chuan: "Please allow me to leave the table." ”

"Mei Dai, please sit down." Qi Chuan Xun smiled kindly at her, her back was straight, her posture was dignified, and she did not lose to Wei Jieling, who was born in a wealthy family, "When this happened, I had not yet studied in graduate school, and Xu Meidai had just been born......

Wei Jieling immediately said: "If this past incident makes Consul Qichuan feel unhappy, then you don't need to say it. ”

"It's okay." Sukawa Shun smiled at her again, "I was very unhappy at the time, but as the old saying goes, if you lose your horse, you don't know if you are not blessed, if you don't lose that year, then I wouldn't have gone to graduate school, met my teacher, and entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs...... I might be the head mother of another family. ”

Midai Ono returned to the table and said, "That would be too great a loss for the Empire." ”

"Personally, maybe it's a blessing?" Qi Chuan Xun said, "My mother died very early, she didn't have the good fortune of Mrs. Wan, she became a concubine, and she didn't give birth to a son yet, so she could only be bullied...... I didn't really have any skills at the time......"

Her eyelids drooped, as if to hide some emotion: "After she died, my brother took away the property that my father left me, which made my life at home very difficult...... That's when I met my teacher. ”

The atmosphere in the box was sad, which made Wei Jieling sit still, she felt that she should comfort Qi Chuan, but she didn't know where to open her mouth - she and Qi Chuan's first meeting, as a high-ranking consul general, Qi Chuan's time should not be sentimental to feel this and confide in a stranger these sad pasts.

So she pursed the corners of her mouth and said nothing.

Ono Meidai took over the conversation in time: "Mr. Tu Feiyuan has always been discerning, I once heard him comment on you through the population, saying that the phoenix must bathe in fire to be reborn in Nirvana. ”

"That's the teacher praising me." Qi Chuan Shun sighed slowly, "The process of bathing in the fire is too painful, if it weren't for the corner, I would never have come to this road." ”

Ono Meidai didn't answer this time, and Sukawa didn't continue, and the box fell silent, so Wei Jieling knew that they were waiting for her to speak.

"Consul Qichuan's brother is really kind." She found a self-righteous entry point, "I can't imagine why a blood-related brother would be so mean to his sister. ”

"For a person, when the stakes are big enough, the father will even sell his daughter, let alone the brother and sister." Qi Chuan Xun said lightly, "So don't believe your brother, the property left by Old Wei Gong to Wei's Yizhuang is enough for him to sell his daughter." ”

Wei Jieling opened her mouth, and finally said: "Don't worry, I haven't seen him since I submitted the complaint to the court, and I won't see him, I'm afraid that in his heart, I'm already an enemy, not a sister." ”

Qi Chuan Shun smiled slightly, as if he was very satisfied with her words: "Don't give in to your brother, Miss Seven, you take a step back, and there is a cliff behind you." ”

"Consul Qichuan is giving me a way," Wei Jieling looked like she was grateful to her, "I am grateful for your kindness." ”

Qi Chuan Xun raised his eyes and looked at Wei Jieling: "So I hope that Old Wei Gong's will can be executed according to his wishes, because not everyone meets someone who can give her a way when they are cornered." ”

Wei Jieling didn't answer immediately, she and Qi Chuan Xun made eye contact, as if they wanted to read the other party's true emotions from the other party's eyes, and had several silent exchanges in a very short time.

Wei Jieling felt regret when she retracted her gaze, she was too presumptuous, Qi Chuan's rank was much higher than her, and even she could feel it. When she looked into Qi Chuan's eyes, she saw only real sadness and sincere consolation, giving people the feeling of digging out their hearts and lungs.

And what about Wei Jieling...... Even she could feel it, her eyes were full of all kinds of complicated defensive emotions.

"Consul Qichuan takes care of me," she softened her tone and said softly, "I don't dare to think about how you came here back then, I am not as strong as you, if you replace me with you back then, I think you will handle it more calmly than me." ”

"Miss Seven has the courage to sue her brother in court, and she is already much stronger than mine back then." Qi Chuan Xun shook her head with a smile, she picked up the small cup of sake on the table, and signaled to Wei Jieling, "Respect Wei Gong's heart for the family, and respect his spirit in the sky." ”

The two cups touched, and she covered her mouth with wide sleeves and drank it up.

After the meeting, Sukawa Shun sent Wei Jieling to the entrance of the box, and Ono Meidai was responsible for sending her to the car. After the door of the store was opened, the coastal air mixed with the humid moisture rushed to her face, Wei Jieling paused in front of the store and said, "I seem to smell the smell of gunpowder." ”

"It smells of gasoline," said Ono, "and the consul's car is a new car." ”

Wei Jieling smiled, the driver she brought had already parked the car at the door of the sauce grill, Wei Jieling walked out of the store, and she could get into the car in two steps.

"Secretary Ono," she seemed to say something to Ono Medai, but Ono immediately interrupted her, "Miss Seven be careful on the road." ”

Wei Jieling immediately understood, and then stretched out her hand to the car, a little sister who had oil on her braids hurriedly got out, folded and handed two small gift boxes to her, Wei Jieling first picked one of them and handed it to Ono Meidai: "A meeting gift for Consul Qichuan, please smile." ”

Ono Meidai bowed to her and thanked her, and Wei Jieling then handed over the second one: "This is for Secretary Ono, I thank you very much." ”

The last five words were a little slow, and Ono was stunned for a moment, then realized that her opinion had been adopted by her.

"Thank you, Miss Seven." She stretched out her hand and wanted to take her gift, but she paused again and hesitated, "It's all my business, and I don't dare to let Miss Seven break the bank." ”

These two gifts, Qi Chuan Shun must have a purpose, and Ono Meidai was afraid that Wei Jieling would lend her the opportunity to give her a gift with some small notes.

"Take it." Wei Jieling didn't know about her worries, "It's the top duck egg powder from a rouge gouache shop under my name, I only received three boxes today, and I made a special trip to leave one for you." ”

Ono Meidai hesitated for a moment and hinted, "Maybe I'll see you again in two days, Miss Seven really doesn't have to be so polite." ”

"Why, the Japanese custom is to give gifts when you say goodbye completely?" Wei Jieling looked at her in surprise, "Then will I see Consul Qichuan again in two days?" ”

Her reaction made Ono Meidai feel at ease, and she laughed with Wei Jieling, and reached out to take her gift: "It's just that I'm embarrassed to let Miss Seven break the bank." ”

She went back with two gifts. The one in Sukawa Shun is an expensive bottle of Bolai perfume, which is bottled in a glass bottle with a golden pattern, which is very elegant, and it is a style of Chinese patterns.

"Perhaps it was specially made." Sukawa said, "It's really a generous gift that doesn't show any wealth." ”

As she spoke, she opened Ono Meidai's portion again, which was indeed the duck egg powder that Wei Jieling said, the oval egg-shaped object was lying obediently in the yellow satin box, the powder was delicate, and the taste was not strong. Qi Chuan Shun applied a little with his index finger, wiped it on the back of his hand, and lowered his head to sniff: "Mei Dai will use it to decorate her cheeks tomorrow." ”

She said, closing the compact.

After Ono took the powder box home, she immediately opened the satin box, and after finding nothing, she used scissors to break the powder cubes, rummaging through the scraps for a long time, but still found nothing. It seems that Wei Jieling really didn't put anything for her, Ono Meidai put the scissors next to the messy box of duck egg powder, she fell on her back on the bed, and secretly laughed that she was really nervous.
