The sun sets in the west, in the Meng family courtyard.
Lin Haitang was dressed in ethnic minority clothing, sitting on a stone bench in the yard and blowing the evening breeze.
Those eyes were blurred, as if they were lost in thought, and their fingers were subconsciously stroking a crabapple in front of them...
"Lawyer Lin?"
"Ah?" Lin Haitang was frightened by the sudden sound and shrank his hands.
When she turned around and saw Meng Lang walking towards her, her face seemed unnatural for a moment.
"Why are you alone here?"
"Oh, Auntie said she would go out to pick some fruits and come back. Weiwei and Xiaoyu are still upstairs trying on clothes, so I'll come down first to get some air."
Lin Haitang said casually, his eyes just staring in front, as if he was studying the begonia flowers in front of him attentively.
"That's it..."
Meng Lang sat down opposite Lin Haitang politely, picked up a jujube from the fruit plate on the table and took a bite.
Opposite Lin Haitang seemed to have just taken a shower, and her hair was still dry. As she got closer, she could smell the fragrance of orchids lingering on the tip of her nose.
The set of clothes I was wearing was bought when I went to the town market this afternoon.
The top is a collarless piping right-sided cardigan, with patterns embroidered on the edges and collar. The embroidery is exquisite, the colors are bright, and it has strong ethnic characteristics.
Due to the extended trip, they didn't bring enough clothes. At Yan Weiwei's instigation, they bought a bunch of ethnic costumes.
The characteristic of this kind of clothes is that the shorts and shorts are short, which inevitably exposes a piece of snow-white skin. Coupled with the beautiful and unparalleled appearance, the face is slightly red under the reflection of the setting sun, which makes Lin Haitang look more delicate than Hua at this time...
"cough!"
Seemingly sensing the other person's unscrupulous gaze on her, Lin Haitang finally broke through and coughed dryly to alert the pervert.
"What were you thinking about and you were so lost in thought just now?" Meng Lang asked with a smile.
"Hmm... I didn't think anything of it." Lin Haitang deliberately avoided Meng Lang's gaze.
"Hey! Your expression has something to do with me, right?"
"No!" Lin Haitang immediately denied it, but when he raised his head, he met Meng Lang's eyes that were half-smiling but not smiling.
Lin Haitang rolled his eyes at him.
"Yes! It has something to do with you. Just now I was thinking about how a little kid who was bullied to tears by his sister every day grew up to be the frightening 'Guanzhong Hero'."
"Uh..." Meng Lang looked embarrassed.
"Can we not bring this up? My childhood was miserable enough..."
Lin Haitang suppressed laughter.
He immediately turned his head and asked seemingly casually.
"It's been so long, do you still remember what happened when you were a child?"
"Remember, why don't you remember? I can forget everything else. I can remember the hatred between brother and sister for the rest of my life!" Meng Lang said with a smile.
"Really? Then do you remember that when you were a child... you used to go to the town to go to the market like today?"
"Going to the market?" Meng Lang was stunned for a moment.
"It seems so, but it must have been when I was very young. I have no memory of it. When I entered junior high school, I lived on campus, and then I rarely went there."
"Is this so..."
Yes, after all, it has been so long...
"By the way, why did you suddenly propose that you want to go to the market today? Now you're asking me again..."
"Why are you looking at me like that? I've never been there, so I'm just interested." Lin Haitang avoided Meng Lang's gaze.
"Interested?" Meng Lang looked at her suspiciously, then moved closer and said with a smile in his eyes.
"Then are you interested in going to the market? Or...are you interested in my affairs?"
Lin Haitang: "..."
"I suddenly remembered that there seems to be soup simmering in the kitchen..." Lin Haitang stood up.
"People cannot always escape from reality. There is no use in escaping. You have to face it one day."
Lin Haitang paused, hesitated for a moment, and finally sat back.
What he said is right. Some things are better discussed as soon as possible...
She stared at the swaying begonia flowers in front of her and asked suddenly after a moment of silence.
"Do you know how long the flowering period of crabapple flowers lasts?"
"Huh?" Meng Lang was stunned for a moment. "It seems to bloom in April and May, and the flowering period... is only about a month."
"Yes, no matter how beautiful the flowers bloom, they only last for a short month..." Lin Haitang sighed.
"Uh...what do you want to say?"
Lin Haitang glanced at him.
"When these two people are together, it's like opening a limited liability company together, and the marriage certificate is like a business license.
A man's investment capital is often his own wealth and status.
But women are different from men. In the eyes of men, a woman’s biggest investment capital is her youth and beauty.
Obviously, the depreciation rate of this kind of capital is very high, which can easily lead to men withdrawing their capital..."
Meng Lang was speechless.
"Are you still saying that if the two parties cannot reach a divestment agreement, it will be more likely to go to court?"
"Well! It's best if you understand." Lin Haitang looked relieved.
"So you want to say... the safest and most secure approach should be..."
"That's right! It's a sole proprietorship."
Meng Lang couldn't help but twitch his lips.
As worthy of being a lawyer, I have to be convinced by my advanced awareness of avoiding legal risks...
"Don't you know that there is a kind of investment called 'value investment'?"
Meng Lang expressed dissatisfaction with Lin Haitang's "disinvestment theory".
"Most people initially thought they were doing value investing, but how many people can persist in value investing for decades?" Lin Haitang asked from his soul.
"Uh... Okay, but if you don't try it, how do you know whether this company will become a century-old enterprise?
Can’t we do a round of angel investment first?”
Lin Haitang looked at him and shook his head.
"You know, I am very poor and don't have much capital, so I never do venture capital..."
Meng Lang felt a toothache.
The two people finished communicating their thoughts while playing riddles.
Meng Lang was sincere and sincere, but Lin Haitang was stubborn.
Reluctantly, Meng Lang could only use his bigger moves.
You forced me to do this...
"Do you really insist on being a sole proprietor?"
"Yes!" Lin Haitang glanced at him and nodded lightly.
"But...you kissed me that night."
Lin Haitang: "..."
She didn't expect that Meng Lang suddenly said such a sentence, as if the most secret things in his heart were seen through, and the cold face he deliberately put on broke through his guard instantly, and his face turned red to the root of his neck.
"No! No! That's..."
"It doesn't matter what it is, what matters is the kiss!"
"you……"
"You also know that you need to be responsible for your actions, right?"
"I……"
"I am a traditional man..."
"That's enough! Stop talking!"
Lin Haitang finally couldn't help but explode. She looked ashamed and annoyed, and her heart collapsed at this time.
"Why can I know when you are snoring!"
Last time Meng Lang hinted that she had some luck, but today this chance was completely shattered...
He really knows...
This unscientific!
"Haha! Talent!"
"Are you pretending to sleep? Despicable!"
"Hey, hey! After kissing me and then running away and calling me despicable, Counselor Lin, isn't this inappropriate?"
Looking at Lin Haitang, who was completely different from the arrogant and cool-looking Lin Haitang just now, Meng Lang couldn't help but want to continue teasing her.
"Keep your voice down!"
Lin Haitang lowered his voice in a panic, as if he was afraid of being heard by Xiao Yu and the two people upstairs.
"I...I did it to thank you for your help to Weiwei and Xiaoyu! Yes! Just thank you!"
"Thank you? Lawyer Lin, your way of thanking you is a bit special?"
"In Western etiquette, a kiss on the cheek is normal, right? Don't make a fuss!"
Lin Haitang tried hard to show a nonchalant look, but her panicked eyes betrayed her deeply.
"Western etiquette? Is that so?" Meng Lang seemed to be somewhat convinced.
"Of course... of course!"
"Really? How about one now? If there's another one, I'll believe it." Meng Lang pointed and put his face towards it.
Lin Haitang was furious.
Why haven't you noticed before that this guy is so thick-skinned?
"Aren't you coming? It seems that this etiquette is not as normal as you said."
Seeing that Lin Haitang was completely out of ideas, Meng Lang approached him with a smile.
"But Lawyer Lin, if you still refuse, then can I think that your move...
Does it actually represent some kind of ‘investment intention’?”
