When Chen Ke met Ah Hao, he smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyebrows: "What have you been busy with recently? I can't see anyone online or offline."
Ah Hao rubbed his face: "Don't mention it. I have to learn my job while doing it. I'm afraid I might have to go back to my old ways. Hey..."
"Well, it's because of your brother, why do you go to such trouble?" Chen Ke took the suitcase from Ah Hao's hand.
Ahao glanced at Jiang Zhongze, who was talking to his sister with a smile on his face, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "They were newlyweds, and they didn't feel much at first. Anyway, there are people who support me. Now my brother has almost become a hands-off shopkeeper, but it's really
Let me find out how much I weigh."
"It's all the same. I used to hang around in Taiwan, but now that I've come out, I'm also facing a lawsuit. I'm not much better than you. But I have a lot of big players here, so I won't be left with nothing."
Chen Ke patted Ah Hao on the shoulder and said.
"That's right, just looking at my sisters makes people feel at ease. By the way, did you fall in love with any girl today?" A Hao lowered his voice and asked Chen Ke.
Chen Ke curled his lips: "As for your sisters, I am a staff member, so I have to be professional, you know..."
"Hey, you can't fall in love first and talk about it later..."
"Ah Hao, what are you two thinking about? Aren't you hungry?" Lu Beicen waved to Ah Hao.
Ah Hao walked over quickly: "I'm just hungry. I just ate the hotel meal for too long and I want to eat something that suits my taste."
Jiang Zhongze couldn't understand what Ah Hao had planned, and scolded him with a smile: "Your sister has been tired all day, and she still has to cook for you. Besides, it's not convenient here. If you have something to eat, just make do with it. You can eat it when you get home."
Can’t afford home-cooked food?”
"Brother, you can go home soon, but when can I go home? How about we switch..."
Seeing Ah Hao pretending to be pitiful, Lu Beicen smiled and shook his head: "Okay, I know you came today and left a fish head. It is wild in the lake. Make a fish head tofu soup and stir-fry some chili peppers."
, don’t bother, you guys will wait for me for a while.”
Fan Qigang said he was going to the bathroom, and wandered around for a while. As soon as he came in, he heard Lu Beicen's words, and answered them very familiarly: "Hey, I'm here today. I've heard from Ah Hao a long time ago."
He said that his younger siblings are good at craftsmanship..."
Lu Beicen just asked Jiang Zhongze why Fan Qigang followed him.
Jiang Zhongze also had a look of helplessness on his face. Several people came back from negotiations together in other places. He didn't know whether it was intentional or not. Anyway, on the way, Fan Qigang knew that they were coming to Lover's Island to watch a blind date conference, so he insisted on following them.
Jiang Zhongze didn't know what Fan Qigang's purpose was. Ever since Lao Fan asked him about Ran Zhen before and he was silenced by Lu Beicen, Lao Fan no longer mentioned this matter to him.
No matter what, this person came, and Lu Beicen still greeted him politely: "It's just a common meal. Lawyer Fan can do whatever he wants. Hao, please treat Lawyer Fan well!"
Then he greeted Chen Ke: "Please help arrange a room for Lawyer Fan. There is no room here. You can arrange it in a hotel. There are two suites reserved on the top floor."
Chen Ke quickly raised his hand: "Okay, leave it to me. Let's go. Ah Hao, let's just go there together. You wash up first. Look at your upright body. Tsk, Tsk, I feel so scared just looking at it."
!Lawyer Fan, please come with me!"
Fan Qigang really didn't regard himself as an outsider, and said with a smile: "What's going on with you two brothers? Why do I look like you want to solve major life issues on the spot?"
Chen Ke and A Hao glanced at Fan Qigang, saw the evil look in his eyes, and immediately understood what the major life event he was talking about was going on. A Hao was familiar with him, and immediately his face became ferocious: "Brother, you...
Do you still want to have dinner? I am the only one in the Lu family..."
"Our Chen family is also..."
"It's a joke, it's just a joke..."
Jiang Zhongze took a shower and changed into a T-shirt and shorts and went downstairs. The food here had been removed and everyone had gone out for a walk to watch the excitement. Compared to the hustle and bustle outside, the house was quite quiet.
In the kitchen, Lu Beicen had already stewed the fish head in a huge pot, and it was steaming. The soup had changed from clear water to milky white visibly. Lu Beicen was cooking on another stove, and the sound of the kitchen was loud and clear.
The hustle and bustle outside and the busy women in front of him made Jiang Zhongze feel extremely soft and at ease in his heart. The fatigue of the past few days disappeared without a trace.
Jiang Zhongze walked over, hugged Lu Beicen who was busy from behind, put his head on her shoulder, and rubbed her gently.
The range hood roared, and Lu Beicen felt the burning heat on his back and the freshness after bathing. He turned his head and looked at Jiang Zhongze with a gentle smile: "Tired?"
"Well, a little bit, this round of negotiations involves too many details, but Ah Hao has been growing very fast recently."
"You still have to let go, you always have to grow up."
"He said he wanted to continue studying, and I asked him to learn in actual combat first."
"It's because he was under too much pressure and scared him to the point of running away, right?" Lu Beicen chuckled.
Jiang Zhongze felt the same: "You still have to give him some breathing space, otherwise he will be really scared away. Why don't you pay attention and find a girl for him, and maybe he will be tied up."
Lu Beicen laughed out loud: "I think he is still like a child who has not grown up. Besides, I still won't get involved in his marriage. Comrade Lao Lu may have some arrangements."
Jiang Zhongze seemed to be shaking his head and rubbed his chin in the crook of Lu Beicen's neck: "I think it's quite embarrassing. Ah Hao actually has a big idea in his heart."
Lu Beicen struggled away: "It's so itchy, please let me go..."
Jiang Zhongze hugged him tighter after hearing this: "Really? Where is it itchy? Do you want it, Xiaobei, I miss you..."
Lu Beicen's face turned red instantly: "Fuck you, let go, they will be here soon. I'll fry some more vegetables and then we can eat."
Jiang Zhongze knew that Lu Beicen was thin-skinned, so he stopped pestering him. He chuckled and let go, watching his wife put the fried pork with chili peppers on the plate without looking back...
Lu Beicen washed the pot and changed the topic: "Lawyer Fan knows that Sister Ran is here?"
Jiang Zhongze shrugged his eyebrows: "I don't even know how he would know."
"Then what does he mean?" Lu Beicen was a little confused.
Before Jiang Zhongze could say anything, he heard A Hao and Chen Ke walking in, laughing and joking.
"Just in time, it's time to eat. Where is Lawyer Fan?" Lu Beicen saw only two people coming in. He thought of what Ran Zhen said in the morning and felt bad.
Chen Ke replied nonchalantly: "I took Ah Hao over there to see the beauties. When Lawyer Fan saw the gang of people from the law firm, he stayed there and refused to leave. But then again, how could he, a big boss of a Shanghai law firm,
Are you so familiar with Sister Ran and other young lawyers from Zhongjiang Law Firm?"
Ahao also nodded: "Old Fan seems to like Yifan very much. I see that he hugs Yifan and refuses to let go..."
No wonder Ran Zhen feels suffocated. It seems that during this period, Fan Qigang has been making a lot of moves. He is probably already determined to win Ran Zhen and Ran Yifan, and even openly admits it. And according to the cleverness of an old fox like him, plus
Through the investigation behind his back, I am afraid that Ran Yifan has been confirmed to be his son, but I don't know if he has done a paternity test in private.
For Fan Qigang, he definitely wanted to recognize Ran Yifan back, but for Ran Zhen and Ran Yifan, this was not a good thing.
In any case, Fan Qigang was still married at that time. Once this matter was exposed, Ran Zhen would undoubtedly have to bear the reputation of a third party. This would definitely be a serious reputation problem for Ran Zhen, not to mention,
She is also a lawyer, and Fan Qigang's ex-wife is also in this industry. When the time comes, she will be able to talk about others, but she can say whatever she wants. What student seduces the teacher with an illegitimate child, causing the teacher's family to break up? Such words are simply
Just come here without paying for it...
For Xiao Yifan, what was originally a legitimate legitimate child has turned into an illegitimate child. Although the current era is not as strict on these matters as before, such a stain, and it is also a fault committed by an adult, is an innocent child.
It is undoubtedly cruel to carry a child on his back. Moreover, when he grows up and becomes sensible, it is immeasurable what kind of psychological shadow he will have on his mother Ran Zhen.
Jiang Zhongze saw Lu Beicen's face getting paler. Although he didn't know what she was thinking, based on his understanding of her, he immediately sensed something was wrong. He quickly took out his cell phone and called Fan Qigang, still saying: "This
Lao Fan, I called him and asked him to come over for dinner as soon as possible."
Unexpectedly, no one answered the phone at all. Lu Beicen simply said: "Go and find him. Sister Ran drank some wine today..."
Jiang Zhongze nodded quickly and went out. Chen Ke also saw that something was wrong with Lu Beicen, so he quickly got up and followed him out: "Let's go, let's go, I'll take you there. There are too many people, I'm afraid you can't find it..."
It's been a while now, and if Ah Hao still can't tell, it's because he has grown so old. Seeing the two of them going out one after another, he asked softly: "Sister, what's going on? Lao Fan can't really be with Ran.
Does sister have an old flame?"
Lu Beicen was in a state of confusion. He was really worried that Ran Zhen wouldn't hold back after drinking. He turned around and turned off the fire of the fish soup: "Little brat, don't mind adults' business. You and Chen Ke will drink it for him later."
When ordering wine, it’s best to drink it directly.”
Ah Hao looked unconvinced: "I'm a little kid, how can a little kid drink?"
Lu Beicen was amused by Ah Hao and laughed: "You are still a little kid in front of your sister and me even if you drink one liter. Fish head and tofu soup. I specially saved this fish head for you. Come first."
One bowl?”
Ah Hao himself was not a gossip, he just wanted to play tricks to make his sister happy. Seeing Lu Beicen smile, he quickly nodded his head: "My sister is the best to me, okay, I'll drink some soup first and wait.
Let’s start it up later and get Lao Fan drunk, it’s not a big deal.”
When Jiang Zhongze came to look for him, Fan Qigang had indeed approached Ran Zhen. However, there were a lot of people, and not all of them were winking. In addition, Ran Zhen deliberately avoided it and had not yet started talking. But Jiang Zhongze could tell that Ran Zhen saw
When he came, there was obviously a hint of gratitude in his eyes, as if he was relieved.
"Old Fan, let's go, let's eat! I didn't answer the phone, what's the matter, are you trying to get involved?" Jiang Zhongze said as calmly as possible.
Fan Qigang's eyes moved back from Ran Zhen and glanced at Jiang Zhongze, but he couldn't tell what his expression was. He just said naturally: "What am I getting involved with? They are all a bunch of young people. I saw my colleagues coming over to say hello.
.”
"I'm telling you, why did you change the taste? Come on, the fish soup is getting cold!"
Fan Qigang said hello to a group of young lawyers, but his eyes were fixed on Ran Zhen, but only for a moment. Then he followed Jiang Zhongze back, passed through the lively crowd, and asked when he reached a deserted road: "You
what does it mean?"
Jiang Zhongze's expression was very innocent: "What do you mean?"
"Okay, we are all sensible people. Why are you pretending to be stupid with me? I just want to ask you where you stand?" Fan Qigang simply stood still. Maybe he had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
"Where are you standing? I'm hungry and I need to eat. Aren't you hungry?" Jiang Zhongze turned his head and looked at Fan Qigang with interest. Although his words were simple, it was obvious that there was something in them.
Fan Qigang stared at Jiang Zhongze for a long time before he laughed: "Okay, you are a full man but don't know a hungry man is hungry. Now your wife is the best in the world, right?"
Jiang Zhongze also laughed: "Of course, my wife can make me fish soup..."
Having said this, Jiang Zhongze was silent for a moment, looked at the area where there was still a lot of people, and continued: "This blind date is quite interesting, simple and clear, they are all young people, there is no burden, the main thing is to see the right person.
Eye……"
Fan Qigang followed Jiang Zhongze's gaze and looked over, filled with laughter and fireworks. A bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously, but he could only turn around and pretend to be Feng Qingyun and joke lightly: "Hey, I can't tell that your localization process is advancing so fast.
It’s pretty fast, you’ve learned how to look right...”
When Jiang Zhongze and Fan Qigang came back, Chen Ke had already got two bottles of liquor out of nowhere. The bottles were retro transparent glass bottles or had iron caps. The labels were already mottled. Fan Qigang was happy when he saw them: "
Oh, that’s amazing, this wine is old, isn’t it?”
"Lawyer Fan still knows the goods. Unlike these two fake foreign devils, they are serious about puree cellaring. The wine is good. But I heard that this factory is about to die. Ours is the last batch before the restructuring. The subsequent wines are not as good.
This is awesome!" Chen Ke said as he started pouring wine and took three glasses with a wink.
Fan Qigang quit, but when he saw Lu Beicen poking there, he had to start joking: "Okay, Lao Jiang, I remember you should be a few years younger than me, are you anxious to close the mountains and cultivate forests?"
Lu Beicen was so thin-skinned that he had no choice but to pretend not to hear and quietly left the dining room. Jiang Zhongze didn't bother to comment and served a bowl of fish soup: "It's not like you don't know what's going on in my family. The old man and the old lady seized the opportunity.
Just mentioning the face and face, I can’t bear it..."
Lu Beicen washed two apples, went upstairs and entered Fang Nan's room. The pregnant woman was lying on the bed, and was very happy following the variety show on TV. She took a bite of the apple and said, "Is nothing wrong?
"
Lu Beicen shook his head: "I've already drank it, as I told Ah Hao."
Fang Nan chewed the apple until it was crunchy and slurred in his mouth: "That's okay, that's it. I don't know what the result will be. Looking at it now, my senior sister seems not to be happy, but I think
Well, if she really didn't have this person in her heart, she wouldn't be so burdened."
Lu Beicen nodded sympathetically: "But looking at it from Sister Ran's perspective, it is indeed difficult. The key is what will the children think in the future? Besides, they are all in the same industry. From now on..."
Fang Nan really looked like a pregnant woman at this moment. She obviously didn't think much about it. After listening to Lu Beicen's words, her mind turned around and then she realized what she meant and took a bite of the apple.
But he suddenly laughed: "If I were Lawyer Fan, I would pretend not to know anything about Yifan. It's not impossible for a simple man to be single and an unmarried woman to meet again. It's not impossible, don't you think?"
Lu Beicen was stunned when he heard this, and then curled his lips: "Forget it, how do you know whether the person is targeting the child or the child's mother?"
Fang Nan moved his bulky body up and sat up, pouting: "No matter who you criticize, there is only one correct answer anyway. Only when you find the mother of the child can you have a child. Do you think this is true?"
"Aren't you just wishful thinking? What matters is what Sister Ran thinks. You are now married and have a child. Why do you think Sister Ran is living a stable life, has a healthy child, has a successful career, and is no longer a little girl?"
"That being said, do you think my senior sister is not lonely? When she was in school, she looked down on our senior brothers. After seven years of studying, she has never heard of a serious relationship. I think she
She just likes this kind of mature and stable uncle type, and besides, she also likes to be more serious and take death seriously, anyway..." Fang Nan shook his head as he spoke.
Lu Beicen looked at Fang Nan with some surprise: "What, I see what you mean and you still want to help?"
Fang Nan smiled and said nothing, looking at Lu Beicen with an apple in his mouth. The light in his eyes told Lu Beicen that something was wrong.
Lu Beicen said quickly: "Let me tell you, I think what Sister Ran said makes sense, but Lawyer Fan's style is really suffocating. If you press too hard, it will be easy to break the string. Don't stop.
This has added fuel to the fire, who can say whether it will be better or not in the future?"
"Look at how nervous you are. I didn't say what I was going to do. Can't I just stand on the bank and watch the show? How interesting it is, hehe. Being pressed means that you are in an anxious mood. Besides, when it comes to falling in love, it's not like that.
It’s different when you cook food. It’s easy to get burnt when the heat is too high..."
When Jiang Zhongze entered the room at night, Lu Beicen had already fallen into a drowsy sleep. Feeling that he was on the bed, he naturally leaned into his arms and asked, "Why is it so late?"
Jiang Zhongze took Lu Beicen into his arms, put his chin on her furry hair, and chuckled, "You asked those two to get Lao Fan drunk, right?"
"Otherwise, what should we do? There are so many people today and they live together in such a concentrated area. If anything happens, it will be a big bustle." Lu Beicen muttered softly.
"Lao Fan is getting older and is almost becoming a sperm. He wants to drink today. Otherwise, do you think that he, a long-established barrister, can get people drunk casually? Lao Fan is having fun today.
I used to..." Jiang Zhongze put his hand into the quilt, and the soft and warm touch made him focus on the buttons on her pajamas.
"Don't wear pajamas like this next time. Didn't you like the pajamas I bought you last time?"
Lu Beicen grabbed Jiang Zhongze's hand: "You haven't finished speaking yet! What happened to Lao Fan?"
Jiang Zhongze broke away his hand with dissatisfaction and continued to touch the buttons:
Lu Beicen laughed and continued to hold his hand: "Say it or not, I don't care if you don't tell it!"
"It's okay, then after you finish talking..."
"Lao Fan said that he was like a young boy in love today. There were so many people in the place, and he could see Ran Zhen there at a glance, just like when he was doing exercises at school. No matter how many people there were, he could still see the girl he liked at a glance...
…”
…
Early the next morning, Lu Beicen found out from the WeChat group that Ran Zhen and Ran Yifan took the earliest boat to disembark from the island and go back to Huxia. Thinking about what Jiang Zhongze did last night, his brain became dull.
Now I think of what he said about Fan Qigang, haha, it's not like being drunk, it's clearly acting drunk. Sure enough, life is like a drama, it all depends on acting skills...
"It's so early in the morning, what are you thinking about?" Jiang Zhongze's voice rang in his ears, and he knew he had been awake for a while.
"It's nothing. Sister Ran took Yifan back this morning."
"Hey, you are determined enough."
Lu Beicen thought for a while and finally said: "She said she felt that Lawyer Fan made her feel a little suffocated. At her age and the situation in front of her, she might not really like Lawyer Fan's crushing style."
Jiang Zhongze glanced at his wife in surprise: "You change a bit quickly, did you change your mind after just one nap?"
"What did I change my mind about? What does it have to do with me? I just feel that if Sister Ran is unhappy, it won't be good for Yifan. Anyway, hey, forget it, let's not talk anymore and get up."
Today's activities were all about taking a boat trip to the island and traveling on the waterway. Lu Beicen and Fang Nan had a good time and leisure as usual, but today Chen Ke strangely did not go with them to take pictures (looking at the beautiful women).
When Fang Nan saw Chen Ke running over to get breakfast in the middle of the morning, she joked with him in a good mood: "Ah, it seems that the beauties in this class are not very good-looking. Our young master Chen is not even good at taking photos."
Chen Ke laughed and drank a big mouthful of porridge before answering: "I have a buddy who is in this city. He called me over the day before yesterday and told me something. He has been busy these two days.
I didn’t find a chance to say it.”
Lu Beicen and Fang Nan looked at Chen Ke together and motioned for him to continue.
"It's the white wine we drank last night. So, Ah Hao, how do you feel?"
Ah Hao looked puzzled: "It's okay, mainly because it doesn't have a head, and the taste is good. I drank about half a catty yesterday, and I don't feel much today."
"I think it's okay, but I'm a little unsure about starting first."
"What do you mean, you don't want us to invest in this winery, do you?" Fang Nan looked disgusted and unreliable.
"Why, they don't need a lot of money. I don't think it's impossible. This wine used to have a market in our province. It's just that in the past few years, they have been bombarded with TV commercials for liquor. They are not that big business."
Yeah, I couldn’t keep up, so I was a little depressed." Chen Ke expressed what he was thinking.
Lu Beicen shook his head in disapproval: "The main reason is the influence of the general environment. Although the high-end liquor market is mainly affected, top companies are changing their strategies to seize the mid-range market. It is difficult for such small factories to survive.
Let's live. I think this matter is not suitable for us right now. If we wait another six months or a year, we might consider it, but we have to change our thinking to sell it..."
