Lin Haitang looked at Gao Yuan with some sympathy in her eyes, but this also strengthened some of her thoughts.
"Sorry, I said too much. By the way, Lawyer Lin, didn't you say that there is a friend who wants to talk to me today? Where are the others?"
Gao Yuan seemed to feel that the conversation just had some meaning, so she immediately changed the topic.
"This..." Lin Haitang looked at his watch with a helpless expression.
This is the person you wanted to meet, but the meeting time was changed as you said, and you actually made me late...
"I'm sorry, Ms. Gao, your case shouldn't involve other people, but this person is a bit special."
"I believe that Lawyer Lin will not introduce a stranger to me for no reason, so... what is so special about him?"
Out of trust in Lin Haitang, or in other words, out of trust in Uncle Zheng, Gao Yuan didn't mean to blame her at all, but was just a little curious about the person she wanted to meet.
What's special about it?
Special because he saved Xiao Yu, special because he had no plans, special because there was an extremely sharp intelligence organization behind him?
Just when Lin Haitang didn't know how to organize his words, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"Sorry, sorry! I'm late! It's really hard to get a taxi in the mountains, I'm really sorry!"
Lin Haitang was speechless when he saw Meng Lang rushing towards him.
"In the mountains? What are you doing in the mountains?"
"this……"
I can say that I don’t know why I just sent my baby to school, so why was he taken to the mountains in a daze?
"There were a group of helpless children in the mountains. I thought I could help if I could, so I took some time to lend a helping hand. However, the location was a bit remote and the transportation was a bit inconvenient."
A group of lonely and helpless children in the mountains?
"Are you going to be a volunteer?"
"Well... that's right."
It's free anyway, and it's no different from volunteering.
Lin Haitang looked suspicious, but now was not the time to ask questions, so he could only look at Gao Yuan with an apologetic look.
"Ms. Gao, this is the person who wants to see you. He is a... warm-hearted and good person."
Meng Lang cast a grateful look at Lin Haitang, not minding that he was given the good guy card at all.
I am a good person! Good person is my personality today!
I never ask for anything in return when I do good deeds. This is who I am, Meng Xiaolang.
"Ms. Gao, I have admired you for a long time. I am Meng Lang, Meng Haoran's Meng, and the prodigal son returns to Lang. If you don't mind, just call me Xiao Meng."
Lin Haitang: "..."
Explain a name every day? What kind of hobby is this?
Also, this is the first time we meet, what the hell is that expression of "I've been admiring you for a long time"?
"Uh...Hello, Mr. Meng."
Gao Yuan was a little confused and gently shook hands with Meng Lang.
This inexplicable enthusiasm... do we know each other?
Meng Lang looked at this gentle woman who looked somewhat similar to the national goddess Gao Yuanyuan.
It was completely unthinkable that such a weak, housewife-like little woman would become a ruthless "Evergreen Queen" who would make the entire Jiangsu Province tremble with her stamp of her feet.
Of course, this was after she "went dark"...
The service in the cafe was very attentive. When Meng Lang sat down, the waiter in a small suit immediately came over to ask if he wanted to order.
"Is there Pu'er tea? No, just a cup of black tea."
After the waiter left, Gao Yuan looked at Meng Lang opposite with curiosity and asked.
"Mr. Meng, we don't seem to know each other. I wonder what you want to see me for?"
"Well...that's the case. As Lawyer Lin's special intelligence adviser, I recently heard some very special news."
"Special Intelligence Advisor?" X2
Gao Yuan turned to look at Lin Haitang in confusion.
"Uh...yes! He is the special intelligence consultant I just hired. Mr. Meng...is very well-informed."
Lin Haitang's mouth twitched slightly and nodded helplessly.
You are right, everything you said is right.
"Okay, let me ask Mr. Meng, what kind of news is it? Is it related to me?"
"To be precise, it has something to do with your ex-husband Xu Jinsong, but whether it has anything to do with you specifically, I'm afraid only Ms. Gao can judge."
"What do you mean?" Gao Yuan frowned, not understanding Meng Lang's words.
"Ms. Gao should know Cui Jizhong, right?"
"Well! He is Xu Jinsong's deputy and right-hand man. Xu Jinsong often talks to him at home, so I naturally know him."
"I have a friend who told me that Cui Jizhong and a yellow-haired gangster have been frequenting high-end places recently, and they seem to be discussing something mysteriously.
How could a dignified chief financial officer of the Xu Group get together with a gangster?
Out of curiosity, my friend did a little research on this little gangster and found that he was a well-known ‘nightclub corpse collector’ in Sioux City.”
"'Nightclub corpse collector'? What does this mean?" Gao Yuan didn't understand.
"Ahem! They specialize in drugging people in bars, nightclubs and other places, or directly take away drunken young women..."
When Meng Lang clicked, disgust appeared on the faces of the two women.
"Meng Lang, what exactly do you want to say?" Lin Haitang asked with a frown.
“Do you remember the ‘discretionary clause’ for dividing property in divorce?
‘If one party is at fault, then only those who are not at fault can divide more property as appropriate’, such as... extramarital sex and other behaviors that violate the spousal fidelity obligation.”
Lin Haitang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and finally it became clear what Meng Lang wanted to say.
"You mean..." Lin Haitang looked at Gao Yuan and swallowed the words on his lips.
Gao Yuan was still confused.
"But I haven't violated this rule. I usually live in seclusion. My only hobby is reading. Xu Jinsong knows who I am."
Meng Lang was speechless. He knows you, but you may not know him...
Is this woman innocent, or is she too confident in Xu Jinsong's character?
“Does Ms. Gao know ‘Shi Jingtang’?”
Meng Lang's extremely jumpy question made Gao Yuan stunned for a moment, but she still nodded.
"Yes! Of course I know, 'Emperor' Shi Jingtang.
He was the founding emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.
According to historical records, in the third year of Qingtai in the Later Tang Dynasty, Shi Jingtang rebelled. Because he was trapped in Taiyuan, he asked Khitan for help and agreed to cede the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun and asked Khitan to send troops.
With the help of the Khitan, Shi Jingtang destroyed the Later Tang Dynasty, established the Later Jin Dynasty, and professed his vassalage to the Khitan. He even recognized Yelv Deguang, who was ten years younger than himself, as his father and called himself the 'Emperor Son'.
Due to the loss of the Sixteenth State of Youyun, the Central Plains was opened wide and caused misfortune for hundreds of years. This Shi Jingtang can be said to be a king who will be infamous for thousands of years."
Lin Haitang looked at Gao Yuan in surprise, but he was relieved when he thought that the other party just mentioned that his father used to be a history professor.
"Ms. Gao is indeed knowledgeable and knowledgeable!" Meng Lang couldn't help but praise.
What is a hidden dragon in the abyss? This is called a hidden dragon in the abyss!
It’s good that she is a full-time wife, but while other rich wives are playing mahjong and socializing, this one is reading history books!
"Since Ms. Gao knows about Shi Jingtang, she should also have heard the story about Shi Jingtang and his wife Li having different dreams, right?" Meng Lang asked again with a smile.
Hearing this, Gao Yuan's face looked slightly strange, obviously knowing this historical rumor.
Li was the sister of Emperor Li Congke of the Later Tang Dynasty. She was originally used to monitor Shi Jingtang, that is, she was a spy placed next to him.
Unexpectedly, Shi Jingtang actually used a "beautiful man trick" to actively induce Li to cheat on her.
After that, Shi Jingtang secretly killed his lover and pretended to be generous and forgave Mr. Li, which made Li, who felt guilty, completely devoted to Shi Jingtang and completely fell in love with Shi Jingtang.
When Meng Lang mentioned this historical story at this time, it was self-evident what he wanted to remind.
"No! No way, no matter how despicable Xu Jinsong is, we have been husband and wife for ten years, and he would not treat me like this!"
Gao Yuan was silent for a moment, but slowly shook her head.
"Just because Cui Jizhong associates with a gangster, you think there is a conspiracy. This is..."
Seeing that Gao Yuan still didn't want to believe it, Meng Lang said no more.
Remind him that even if he is completely benevolent, those who want to understand will eventually understand, and those who don’t want to understand will have reasons to convince themselves no matter what you say.
"Forgive me, everyone who knows me knows that I just have a bit of 'persecution delusion'."
"Anyway, I am very grateful to Mr. Meng for his kind reminder. After listening to what Mr. Meng just said, I also like history very much?"
Gao Yuan obviously wanted to change the topic.
“Of course, history always repeats itself, but by reading it in different ways, one can almost summarize the laws governing the operation of all societies.
And all the pros and cons we face have been clearly laid out in history.
What’s even more interesting is that every single stroke in the history books contains countless schemings. If you taste it carefully, you will find endless mysteries!”
Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment.
I didn't expect that the other person could give such an in-depth answer to a casual question.
Every single stroke in the history books contains countless scheming thoughts...
Chewing this sentence carefully, the more you taste it, the more you feel that this sentence speaks to your heart, and you can't help but look at Meng Lang with a strange look in his eyes.
Meng Lang felt calm when he saw the reaction from the other party.
It resonates, right?
That’s right!
Because this sentence is what you will say while stepping on the corpses of countless business elites in the future!
And one of the corpses here is Bucai...
This can be regarded as repaying the other person's kindness, avenging his brother, and showing off to the other person?
"Mr. Meng can say such profound words, he must also like reading very much?"
Gao Yuan seemed to have found a soulmate.
"Well! I have been reading one every day recently, and I have gained a lot every time. I feel that my whole life has suddenly become enlightened."
"Read one book every day?" Gao Yuan blinked.
I like reading very much, but I can’t read one every day when I have nothing to do. Isn’t this too diligent?
Gao Yuan's eyes were filled with admiration.
"Then I wonder which type of history book Mr. Meng likes best?"
"As for the history book...it should be "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli"."
"Oh?" Gao Yuan's eyes brightened.
Meng Lang smiled secretly in his heart.
Just light it up! Because that’s what you like best!
Lin Haitang looked at Gao Yuan and then at Meng Lang, his eyes blank.
What's going on with this sudden reading club feeling?
And what's going on with this guy Meng Lang?
You know the law, you know the history, you know everything about Yidiandian?
"Originally, I was a little hesitant about divorce, and I felt that I did it impulsively.
But now I feel that if after the divorce, I can make more friends like Mr. Meng and talk about history together, then my future life will be very interesting." Gao Yuan couldn't help but say.
Lin Haitang was surprised. She couldn't figure out why Gao Yuan admired Meng Lang so much in just a few words.
Naturally, she didn't know how it would feel to live alone for many years and suddenly meet a close friend in the mountains and rivers, and meet someone whose ideas and thoughts were so consistent with her own.
"Speaking of which, why did Ms. Gao suddenly decide to divorce?" Lin Haitang asked curiously.
For people like Gao Yuan, giving up the pampered life of a rich wife and choosing to stand on the opposite side of the Xu Group is indeed a decision that requires a certain amount of "impulse".
"Haha! You won't believe it if I tell you." Gao Yuan chuckled.
"Could it be that... you watched "The First Half of My Life"?" Meng Lang said casually as if he was joking.
Lin Haitang almost laughed out loud, how dare you guess!
But when he looked up, he saw Gao Yuan's face stunned.
Lin Haitang stopped laughing immediately.
No...it can't be...
[Ps: "The First Half of My Life", premiered in July 2017, is a phenomenon-level hit drama. 】
