The Tsing Yi Lane project was officially launched.

Zhou Shen went to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony in the afternoon, and many leaders in the city also came to the scene.

After the ceremony, Zhou Shen also needed to entertain several leaders of the Urban Construction Bureau and the Housing Management Office for dinner, and Fang Qin accompanied him.

Because there is often contact at work, they are very familiar with each other, and after three rounds of drinking, everyone is not so serious, the atmosphere is a little more relaxed, and unconsciously began to talk about gossip from work.

"Director Wang, I heard that Liu Dong from Shengyang Real Estate went to the hospital last night, what's going on?"

"Cerebral thrombosis."

"It's so serious, so it doesn't matter now?"

"I don't know about this, you have to ask Director Chen, Director Chen went to the hospital to see him this morning."

Director Chen, who was on the other side of the table, took a sip of soup and squinted his small eyes: "The situation is not very good, the doctor asked the family to go back and prepare for the future." ”

"No, I just had dinner with him a while ago, so I can't see what's wrong with him!"

"Who can say for sure about this body? Especially when you reach a certain age, high blood pressure, diabetes, anything can kill you! What's more, this Liu Dong has always been unrestrained, a person in his fifties is still full of flowers, and he just finished the divorce procedures with a wife on the front foot, and married a little girl on the back foot and entered the door. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I've heard about this too, I've seen that girl once, she looks very smart, but she's only 18 years old, a few years younger than his eldest son, and I don't know how to do it."

"Hahaha...... What's so bad about this, swallowing a pill is still alive, but now his appearance is really harming other girls. ”

"How do you say that?"

"Heh... Yesterday I wanted to go to the hospital to see him, but the ward didn't let me in. His eldest wife and eldest son called a group of people to block the door, and the second wife who just left last year was not a worry-free thing, holding the little daughter who had just turned one year old and her mother's family were all guarding the corridor, and the most disadvantaged thing was the little wife he just married, because she had just entered the door, and there was still time to move in her stomach, so the hospital did not let her in. ”

"Tsk... Why bother? What's the trouble! ”

"Fight for property. Sheng Yang is such a big family business, the eldest wife and the second wife have a few children, don't they all wait for him to close his eyes and share more inheritance! It's just that I pity the little girl who just entered the door, I saw her at the gate of the hospital yesterday, and she stood on the steps in the sun and quarreled with the Liu family, with a handful of tears and snot, and I looked sad...... But I can't complain about others, I can only blame her for her bad life, and her stomach is not angry, if she gave birth to a boy and a woman earlier, she can still have an extra share when she makes a will, and now she is a weak person, how can she fight the first two! ”

"Think about it, this rich man's family is like singing, making trouble all day long."

There was a sigh at the table, all because the little girl who had just entered the door of the Liu family was not worth it.

Director Wang took another sip of soup, drunk, but said the truth.

"You all think that Liu Dong's little wife is not angry, but I don't think so, I think she is lucky...... You think, it's good to be a girl, if you really get a child out, won't Liu Dong be widowed if she has three longs and two shorts? It is estimated that it will be difficult to find a good family with a drag oil bottle in the future, so now it is beneficial to her, Liu Dong died and she shared an inheritance, wouldn't it be better to find a man to marry while she was young? ”

"Yes, yes... That's the reason..."

It was like waking up a person from a dream, and the people at the table began to echo Director Wang's idea.

Zhou Shen never said a word, sitting on the main seat as a qualified observer, but his face became colder and colder, and his heart became colder and colder.

Director Wang of the Housing Authority drank some wine and became a little fluttery, wiped his face with a warm towel next to him, and made a concluding speech with his stomach up: "So I said that I should be older or settle down, if I really want to find a little girl to play outside, if I really marry home, it will hurt others, and when the time comes, he will die, isn't it bad to leave a small one?" What's more, this old husband and young wife will not have a good result, don't you look at the news that always says... Ouch, Director Guo, why are you kicking me......"

Director Wang, who was talking loudly, screamed, and only came to his senses after being kicked under the table, only to see that the people at the table were staring at him from the corners of their eyes.

At this time, he finally woke up half of his wine, realized that Zhou Shen was also on the table, and quickly raised his eyes to look over, only to see Zhou Shen looking at him expressionlessly.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhou, I just said what I said casually, there is no malice, this old husband and young wife also have to look at the eight characters of the zodiac, and it is said that there is a prosperous husband who is worthy of it..."

The more Director Wang said, the more chaotic it became, there were really no three hundred taels of silver here.

Fang Qin pinched a handful of sweat in his heart while paying attention to Zhou Shen's expression, he felt that this meal was really bad, how could he come around to this kind of topic.

"Director Wang, what kind of prosperous husband is not prosperous, why do you still believe this! Come on, come on, drink, drink! Fang Qin raised his glass to break the deadlock, and the people at the table immediately agreed.

Director Wang knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he was quite sensible, so he punished himself with three glasses of wine.

After the dinner was over, Fang Qin sent those leaders away one by one, and then he turned back to find Zhou Shen.

Zhou Shen was standing on the steps at the entrance of the hotel at that time, holding his mobile phone in one hand and half of the cigarette that he had not finished smoking in the other.

Fang Qin was a little dumbfounded at that time, he had followed Zhou Shen for more than ten years, and he couldn't remember that Zhou Shen could smoke before.

It seems that this meal was really bad.

"Mr. Zhou, what Director Wang said just now is all drunken talk, don't take it to heart."

Zhou Shen smiled and shook his head: "I won't mind if my mouth grows on others." ”

"That's good, I thought you were angry?"

"Why should I be angry?" Zhou Shen took another puff of cigarette, and the white mist that Teng had risen up was quickly blown away by the night wind, and after it was gone, Zhou Shen's bottomless eyes were revealed, "I naturally won't be angry, because what he said is very reasonable." ”

Fang Qin's heart was shocked.

Zhou Shen stood there and hooked the corners of his lips, showing a pale smile.

After a long time, I heard his voice.

"Fang Qin, Lao Liu is gone, just when you went to send Director Wang to them, Sheng Yang called me..."

……

On the way back to send Zhou Shen, Fang Qin kept an eye on the movement in the back seat, but Zhou Shen was silent all the way, leaning straight on the leather chair, and staring calmly at the street lamps flashing outside the window.

Until the car arrived at the door of the villa, Fang Qin opened the door for him.

Zhou Shen took his suit and got out of the car, still holding his mobile phone in his hand, walked to the door with his head bored, and suddenly turned back halfway through.

"Mr. Zhou, do you have anything else?"

"I won't go to Lao Liu's funeral tomorrow, you can send me two wreaths."

"Okay." Fang Qin responded, but Zhou Shen stood there without focus and didn't leave.

Fang Qin felt that Zhou Shen looked very heavy at that time, as if there was a huge grief gathered in his heart, but he had nowhere to say, and in the end he just nodded slightly, as if talking to himself.

"Actually, Director Wang's words are really not wrong, that girl should be glad that she didn't have any children before Lao Liu left......"

In this way, she can start the rest of her life cleanly.

The second half of her life is still very long, and she should be accompanied by another person, who has a similar age and similar experience with her, and the two of them gave birth to a little life together, watching the little life grow up slowly, and they grow old together little by little.

It's just that Zhou Shen won't say these words.

He took it to heart and didn't tell anyone, not even that person.

It was already late when Zhou Shen arrived home, and after the early hours of the morning, the lights in the front hall had been turned off.

At this point, He Huan should have fallen asleep a long time ago, he lowered his footsteps and passed by the living room, and he didn't even turn on the lights in order not to make a noise, but he hit something with one foot.

With a "bang-" sound, Zhou Shen's knee hit a hard object, and then a jingle bell similar to the sound of a wind chime.

"Zhou Shen..."

He Huan, who was sleeping on the sofa, was woken up by the sound of bells.

Zhou Shen rubbed his knees and turned on the light, the living room was instantly bright, and he turned around and was stunned by the scene in front of him.

In front of the sofa there was a crib with a pink mosquito net, a light blue bedbell hanging on the top of the tent, a velvet blanket on the bed, and a few plush toys placed on it......

What's going on?

Zhou Shen only felt confused in his mind.

"Is it pretty? Is it warm? I saw it when I visited the mall this afternoon, and I didn't expect the delivery master to be so efficient, so I came to install it in the evening..."

He Huan got down from the sofa and wrapped his arms around Zhou Shen's arm as if offering a treasure to "invite merit".

Zhou Shen's face quickly darkened, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

He Huan didn't notice the change in his expression at all, dragged him to the front of the small bed, and pressed a button on the bed bell hanging on the top.

"Look, the little dolphin on the bed bell will turn, there is a circle of colored lights in the middle, and there is music coming out, each of which is a lullaby, and when the baby sleeps..."

"Retreat!"

"Huh?" He Huan was halfway through the "explanation", and was a little annoyed when he was innocently interrupted by Zhou Shen, "Why do you want to return it, the mall just happened to have an event today, and this bed was bought at a 6% discount, which is very cost-effective, and..."

"I said quit!" Zhou Shen's voice was already extremely cold.

He Huan also noticed that this man really didn't like this small bed.

"Do you think this bed takes up space in your home? It doesn't matter, I'll move it to the guest bedroom tomorrow, anyway, I'm going to buy it sooner or later, and it won't necessarily be discounted when the time comes. ”

He Huan She has her own reason, Zhou Shen looked at her eagerly explained, and her ten fingers gradually tightened and pinched into the flesh.

"Who told you you would buy it sooner or later? I don't know why you have to buy a crib that you won't use, but you return it for me, and I don't want to see this thing at home when I come back tomorrow! ”

Zhou Shen's voice has changed from indifference to bad.

He Huan's eyes widened in a daze, and she suddenly felt that the cold man in front of her was a little strange.
