It was still a respectful tone, but with an unquestionable toughness, Zhang Jingchi said slowly: "Auntie, I came to your house today with sincerity. If you want a dowry of 100,000 yuan, I will only give you more, not less. But there are some things I want to put here, and I won't go into what you did to Li Cheng before, but I hope you don't use some wrong things that she hasn't done to morally kidnap her. In my heart, Li Cheng is my treasure, and I will not allow anyone to trample on my treasure in any way, whether it is in action or words. ”

As soon as Zhang Jingchi's words fell, Huang Rimei's face sank instantly, and she quickly slammed the wine that Li Dajun showed her on the coffee table, and said coldly: "Don't think that if you bring something over, you can point fingers at me at my house, how can I also be your elder!" What I want to do to my second sister is my business, she was born to me, I can do whatever I want to do to her, you can't care! ”

Not minding my mother's attitude of dropping to freezing point all of a sudden, Zhang Jingchi took out a bank card from his pocket and put it on the coffee table, he said lightly: "There are 150,000 yuan in this card, it should be my gift to my aunt, and after I get the certificate with Li Cheng, I will send another sum of money to my aunt." ”

took out his business card and put it on the bank card, Zhang Jingchi continued to say lightly: "This is my phone, if my aunt has any difficulties in the future, just call me, I will try my best to help my aunt solve the difficulties." ”

Huang Rimei's face was still not good-looking, but Li Dajun immediately played a round, he picked up the bank card and said directly: "Brother-in-law is so polite, he brought so many gifts, and he also prepared the gift money." My mother is also nervous about the marriage of the second sister, and if she doesn't agree, she communicates until she agrees, everyone is a family! ”

After saying a bunch of nonsense, Li Dajun changed his words and asked, "Brother-in-law, what is the password of this bank card?" ”

Zhang Jingchi held my hand tightly, and he said slowly, "Li Cheng's birthday." ”

Suddenly overjoyed, Li Dajun said to me enthusiastically for the first time: "Second sister, wait a minute, you take your brother-in-law out to visit Suixi, and come home for dinner at noon, and my brother will personally cook a few good dishes for you." ”

Zhang Jingchi took me to stand up and said, "No, we still have something to do in the afternoon, and I will come over to get the household registration book in the afternoon." ”

I opened my mouth and wanted to speak, but Zhang Jingchi said again: "Auntie, let's go first." ”

Huang Rimei sat there steadily, snorted and said, "When I go to check the bank card, there is indeed so much money on it, I will ask my wife to come back and get you the household registration book, and it will be given to you tomorrow at the earliest, don't think I'm so blind." ”

My other hand was clenched, and my nose suddenly became a little sore.

Pulling Zhang Jingchi, I said, "Mom, I'm leaving." ”

Huang Rimei immediately stood up, walked into the bedroom by herself, and closed the door with a "bang".

It was Li Dajun, he enthusiastically sent us to the car, when Zhang Jingchi reversed, he still stood on the side of the road to help command, and when Zhang Jingchi completely reversed the car, he also bent over and smiled at Zhang Jingchi and said, "Brother-in-law, you go slowly." ”

Zhang Jingchi signaled to him, started the car and drove off.

When the car was speeding away, I kept looking out of the car window, Suixi, a small county town that carried my life trajectory for more than ten years, was getting older and older, all the familiar scenery was blurred into a piece in my eyes, and the pedestrians on the large and small roads that I had walked countless times were in a hurry, and the more I looked, the more strange I felt.

When I got to the traffic light, Zhang Jingchi's hand suddenly covered my hand, and he looked at me but didn't speak.

In the end, he drove the car directly to the parking lot of the Songyuan Hotel.

After we took our luggage up and closed the door, Zhang Jingchi suddenly hugged me, his chin rested on my shoulder, and it took him a while before he said, "Li Cheng, I'm sorry." ”

I was stunned, I didn't understand why he was saying sorry.

When my mood eased a little from the cold reception I received just now, I thought that he had given my family 150,000 yuan just now, and my mood became complicated again, I buried my head there, and said faintly for a while: "Why do you give me so much money in my family, in the hearts of my family, I am not worth so much money." ”

His hand was attached to my waist, Zhang Jingchi clasped me in his arms, he imprisoned me tightly, and only after half a sound did he say: "I really wanted to talk to your family politely at first, but I couldn't stand them discussing how much gift money you were worth in front of you." Your family can value you as a commodity, but you can't. In my heart, you are more expensive than anything else. I thought I could do anything, I thought I could untie the gap between you and your family, I thought I could take you home and you could be happy. But it turned out that I was wrong, in fact, I couldn't do anything and couldn't change anything, I just made the relationship more stiff. ”

There was too much chagrin and frustration in Zhang Jingchi's tone, which I had rarely heard in him before.

I was still in a panic, but I also thought that Zhang Jingchi had been driving for a night, he must be extremely tired now, and the most important thing he should do is to take a good rest.

So I gently broke free from his embrace, and I pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's none of your business, my family is like that, I'm fine, you haven't slept all night, you go sleep for a while." ”

Zhang Jingchi refused, he said: "I'm going to sleep, how boring you are alone." ”

I hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll lie down with you." ”

I didn't close my eyes all night, Zhang Jingchi was really sleepy, not long after he lay down, I heard his even snoring, and I couldn't sleep, and I didn't want to go out alone, so I took my mobile phone and leaned on the head of the bed to play games.

At nine o'clock, Zhang Jingchi's mobile phone suddenly rang rapidly.

I took it and glanced at it, and the caller was remarked by Zhang Jingchi that Luo Mihui's new number.

I glanced at Zhang Jingchi, who was sleeping peacefully, and I couldn't bear to wake him up, but I was worried that the company was looking for him urgently, so I gently pushed him and said, "Zhang Jingchi, Luo Mihui is looking for you." ”

I guess he was too tired, Zhang Jingchi slept very deeply, I pushed him several times, and he rolled over and continued to sleep.

The phone was hung up all at once.

Soon, Luo Mihui sent a text message.

The words were concise and to the point, and it made my scalp tingle for a while.

She said: "Jingchi, please call me immediately when you see it, something happened." ”

I suddenly became nervous, pushed Zhang Jingchi hard, and hurriedly called him to him: "Zhang Jingchi, you get up." “

Being pushed and yelled by me like this, Zhang Jingchi opened his eyes in a daze, looked at me very suspiciously, and asked vaguely: "What's wrong?" “

I shoved his phone into his hand and said, "Luo Mihui is looking for you!" Look at the text messages! ”

Unlike my anxiety, Zhang Jingchi sighed, he slowly half sat up, swiped his phone and glanced at the text message, and then he calmly signaled me not to worry, and he went to the balcony to call.

It didn't take long for Zhang Jingchi to return.

His face was not very good, and I was so worried that I had to ask cautiously, "Is something wrong?" ”

Reaching out and stroking my hair, Zhang Jingchi said lightly: "It's a trivial matter." But I have to hurry up and go back to deal with it, and tomorrow we get the household registration book, and we have to go back to Shenzhen first. Wait for the next time I'm free, and then I'll take you back to Suixi to play. ”

Even if his tone was light, I could feel that this time was not a trivial matter, I frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Otherwise, we will go back to Shenzhen to deal with the problem right now?" As for the household registration book, I will ask Li Dajun to send SF Express to me when the time comes. ”

Zhang Jingchi was still a little stubborn, but I intuitively felt that this time the matter was very troublesome, and I didn't want him to delay for a second, so I grabbed his arm and kept persuading.

couldn't resist me, Zhang Jingchi finally agreed.

By the time we got back to work, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

At this time of the day, the company is just some design department and proofing colleagues working overtime, and only half of the lights will be turned on. But today it's brightly lit.

As soon as she saw us enter, Luo Mihui immediately greeted us, she glanced at me, and then leaned into Zhang Jingchi's ear and whispered a few words.

Different from Luo Mihui's slight anxiety, Zhang Jingchi's face was not shocked, he turned around and said calmly: "Li Cheng, I may be busy late tonight, I'll find a colleague to send you home first." ”

I don't know what happened to him, my heart is in turmoil, I don't want to be a trouble for him, so I don't ask more, I pretend to be casual and say: "It's still early, I'll take the subway back by myself, you're busy with you, I'm so big, I know the way." ”

Zhang Jingchi hesitated slightly, I pushed him and pretended to be relaxed and said, "Go and go, I know how to go home." ”

At this moment, Luo Mihui, who was standing on the side, said: "That's it, you go and do your work, I'll help you take Li Cheng back, and I promise to send her home safely." ”

Zhang Jingchi is really familiar with Luo Mihui to the point that he doesn't need to be polite, he is no longer polite, but tells me to go to bed early or something, so I don't know how many floors I went up to.

In the past six months, because I was transferred to be Xu Zhiyong's errand runner, I had less contact with Luo Mihui, and because of my relationship with Zhang Jingchi, she seemed to be very unhappy with me, and every time she was not by my side, she always blackened her face towards me.

In order to avoid embarrassment, after Zhang Jingchi left, I took the initiative to say, "Director Luo, I'll just take the subway." ”

Glancing at me lightly, Luo Mihui said lukewarmly: "Hehe, your heart is really big." Something happened to your boyfriend, and you can still stay home now. ”

I was stunned for a moment.

I must be restless when I go home, but I don't want to stay here and ask questions and cause more trouble for Zhang Jingchi.

But I wasn't familiar enough with Romihui to reveal my inner thoughts, so I pursed my lips and kept silent.

Glancing at me again, Luo Mihui took out the key from the handbag she was carrying, and she took two steps forward before turning around and asking coldly: "If I'm not mistaken, you know Chen Liang very well, right?" ”
