Chapter 185: The long-lost Wen Shizhong
Leng Qingxi looked at Bai Shunan in a daze, and Bai Shunan continued: "To do design, it must come from your heart, isn't the theme of this time natural?" How can you be so natural? Qingxi, your talent and comprehension in design are not available to ordinary people, you should be confident, instead of thinking about what the jury likes all the time, you should think about what you want to do. ”
Leng Qingxi opened his mouth excitedly, and said half-loudly: "Shunan, you really woke up the dreamer with a word, do you know how long this problem has been bothering me?" It turned out that I had gone around in a strange circle on my own. ”
Bai Shunan stood up and touched Leng Qingxi's head with a smile: "Fool, why didn't you come and talk to me earlier, I held it all day, and I wasn't afraid of getting sick." ”
"Didn't I see you're too busy? I don't want to bother you, besides, it's my own business, and I want to fix it myself. ”
"I don't allow you to say that, even if you're busy, it's not as important as your business, have you forgotten? We said we would take it together. ”
Leng Qingxi looked at Bai Shunan's serious appearance and nodded: "I know, thank you." ”
The two were chatting about the design draft, when Leng Qingxi's phone suddenly rang.
Leng Qingxi took out the phone and saw a hint of surprise when he saw the number of the caller.
The call was actually Wen Shizhong's, since Leng Zhanglin's accident, Wen Shizhong has never contacted Leng Qingxi, although Leng Qingxi didn't know all kinds of reasons, but she didn't ask again, after all, she had too many things about herself at that time, and even wanted to leave this world for a while.
Later, her life changed drastically, from finding out that she was pregnant to deciding to marry Bai Shunan, she never contacted Wen Shizhong again, because she knew very well what kind of feelings Wen Shizhong had for her.
So she felt that since he didn't show up, it was better not to let him know about these things, after all, it was not something that could make him happy.
But today, Wen Shizhong suddenly called, but Leng Qingxi was a little caught off guard.
Bai Shunan glanced at Leng Qingxi and said to her, "You answer the phone, I'll deal with some things." ”
Leng Qingxi nodded at him and picked up the phone.
On the other side of the phone, Wen Shizhong's voice was a little hoarse: "Qingxi, where are you?" Are all of them true? ”
"Shizhong, why did you call me all of a sudden? What do they say? ”
"You're pregnant, is it true that you're married to Bai Shunan?" Wen Shizhong's voice was a little choked.
"Well, why are you asking me when you already know about me?" Leng Qingxi asked with some embarrassment.
"I don't believe it, and I don't want to believe it, Qingxi, can we meet? I have a lot to say to you. ”
"Now?" Leng Qingxi's tone was uncertain.
"Yes, right now, where are you, I'll go and pick you up right away."
Leng Qingxi hesitated for a moment, looked at Bai Shunan, who was talking not far away, and finally agreed.
Bai Shunan saw that Leng Qingxi hung up the phone, and also hung up the phone, walked to Leng Qingxi's side, and looked at Leng Qingxi. Leng Qingxi stood up, picked up his clothes and bag, and said to Bai Shunan with some apologies: "I'm really sorry, you are finally at home, but I have to go out." ”
"Where are you going? I'll drive you there. Bai Shunan also followed to get his clothes.
"Shunan." Leng Qingxi stopped him: "No need, I'll just go by myself." ”
Bai Shunan lowered his head: "You're going to see ......"
"It's not Mu Xun City." Leng Qingxi said categorically.
Bai Shunan raised his head.
"I'm going to see a friend, he's helped me before, I don't know what he's looking for me, but I can't help but go."
Bai Shunan nodded, indicating that he understood, he watched Leng Qingxi walk out of the house, and did not forget to tell her to be careful on the road.
Leng Qingxi stood at the intersection and waited for a while, then saw Wen Shizhong's car driving over.
Seeing Wen Shizhong again, Leng Qingxi felt that it had changed a lot from before.
In Leng Qingxi's impression, Wen Shizhong has always been a gentleman as gentle as jade, his every smile is so appropriate, and his clothes are always so decent.
She had never seen Wen Shizhong like this, his suit and shirt were crumpled, his tie was not beaten, his face was covered with blue scum, his eyes were deep-set, and he didn't look like he was resting well.
"Shizhong, what's wrong with you?" When Leng Qingxi saw Wen Shizhong, he couldn't help but exclaim.
Wen Shizhong smiled bitterly and opened the car door for Leng Qingxi, his gaze stayed on Leng Qingxi's upright stomach, and then unnaturally moved his gaze to the side, and said with some loss: "Let's get in the car first." ”
Leng Qingxi got into the car and asked what he had just said again.
Wen Shizhong looked at Leng Qingxi, and spoke painfully for a long time: "Qingxi, I didn't expect that in just a few months, such a big change would occur, if I knew that it would become like this, I would definitely come to see you desperately." ”
Leng Qingxi looked at Wen Shizhong in a daze, not knowing what was going on.
It turned out that after Leng Zhanglin's incident, Wen Shizhong had been running for Leng Zhanglin's affairs, and helped Leng Zhanglin despite the opposition of his family, which made the elders of the Wen family very dissatisfied.
Wen Shizhong has always been the default inheritor in the hearts of the literati family, and his every move and his growth are all within the plan of the literati family.
But this time, Wen Shizhong openly rebelled against the elders for the sake of a woman, which made the elders of the Wen family very angry.
They locked Wen Shizhong at home, made him reflect, and found someone to take care of him, which was a few months. When he was released, he learned about Leng Qingxi's experience in the past few months from others.
Wen Shizhong's mood is very complicated now, and when he learned the news that Leng Qingxi almost committed suicide, he was really shocked. And when he learned the news that Leng Qingxi was pregnant and married, he was sad and anxious.
He looked at Leng Qingxi, not knowing how to express his feelings, Leng Qingxi sighed.
"Isn't there something to say? Let's find a place to sit down and talk. Leng Qingxi knew that Wen Shizhong must have a lot of things to ask him.
Wen Shizhong nodded and drove to the café where the two of them had been before.
Wen Shizhong and Leng Qingxi sat in the café, but their mood was very different from before, at that time, Leng Qingxi regarded Wen Shizhong as his good friend, but now Leng Qingxi's mood is quite complicated.
And Wen Shizhong was even more uncomfortable, in the past, he was determined to win, and expressed his thoughts to Leng Qingxi more than once, he would wait for Leng Qingxi, he also thought that Leng Qingxi would eventually leave Muxun City, and at that time, it was time for him to take action.
But he didn't expect that he was late, yes, he was more than one step late.
He took a sip of coffee to suppress the irritability and anxiety in his heart, he had too much to say to Leng Qingxi, he didn't know Leng Qingxi's attitude towards him now, whether it was because she was resentful of herself, resentful that she didn't help Leng Zhanglin, and disappeared after Leng Zhanglin died.
"Qingxi, how are you doing these days?"
Leng Qingxi seemed to think seriously for a while before saying, "It's good now." ”
"It's good now, which means it wasn't good before, right? I'm sorry, I know, after Uncle Leng's death, you have been through a lot, I'm sorry, I didn't stay by your side. Wen Shizhong looked at Leng Qingxi and said very guiltily.
"Don't say that, you've helped me a lot, you've done your best in my dad's matter, I know. My dad was killed by me, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. Leng Qingxi said with a gloomy expression.
Leng Zhanglin's matter has been a long time, but Leng Qingxi has never been able to let go, and in her heart she always thinks that she killed Leng Zhanglin.
"Qingxi, don't say that, you know it's not like this, you can't carry such a burden forever."
Leng Qingxi shook her head, this kind of thing, how could she forget it.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it, Se Zhong, how are you doing?" Leng Qingxi looked up and asked.
"I ...... Qingxi, I'm sorry, but I've been locked up at home by my family all this time. The elders of the Wen family thought that I had disobeyed them and did not act according to their arrangement, so they locked me up and told me to reflect on myself, and I was only freed today. ”
"What? How so? Leng Qingxi grew his mouth, looked at Wen Shizhong, and asked in disbelief, "Aren't you the heir of the Wen family?" How could they do this to you. ”
Wen Shizhong smiled bitterly: "What heir, it's just their puppet." What the elders want is a puppet with no feelings and no weaknesses, completely at their mercy, always putting the interests of the Wen family first. For so many years, I have been doing according to their arrangement, without the slightest resistance, but they have intensified, and even the slightest request from me has not agreed. ”
"Your request, your request?"
"I saw that Xuncheng didn't seem to be like helping, and the mastermind behind the acquisition of Uncle Leng's company seemed to have a big background, so I wanted to use the power of the family, who knew that this was always opposed by the elders in the family, thinking that I was making too much of a fuss for a friend, and I had a big fight with them and was locked up."
It turned out that this was the case, Leng Qingxi thought secretly in his heart. To be honest, Wen Shizhong disappeared quietly at that time, and Leng Qingxi's heart said that there was no resentment that was a lie.
Although she knew that Wen Shizhong was just a friend of hers, and she had a lot more things to do for her, she was still a little resentful, Wen Shizhong disappeared without explanation, and ignored her.
Now Leng Qingxi knows how much sacrifice Wen Shizhong has made for himself, and how many things have happened.
"And now they've promised to let you out?"
"yes, they told me you were married and had children, and they thought the threat could be lifted, so they released me. After I came out of the house, the first thing I did was to come to you to confirm, Qingxi, are these true? Wen Shizhong held Leng Qingxi's hand with some excitement and asked.
Leng Qingxi pumped his hand outward, but it didn't work. She sighed: "That's right, it's all true, after my dad left me, I divorced Mu Xuncheng, and after that, you must have heard of it, it was Bai Shunan who gave me, and I owe him too much." Since he doesn't dislike me, the only way I can repay him is to marry him. ”
"But do you really love him?" Wen Shizhong asked reluctantly.
"Shunan is very good to me, and I feel safe with him." Leng Qingxi did not answer Wen Shizhong's question.
"Qingxi, what about this child? Is it Bai Shunan's? Wen Shizhong asked with red eyes. Leng Qingxi was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
