Zijin paused, not expecting to encounter such a scene by chance. His heart trembled slightly, and he didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment. There was a voice in his mind telling himself - turn around and leave.
But it felt like there were nails under his feet, and he didn't have the strength to lift his feet.
She just stood at the door of the restaurant, looking at such a "harmonious" scene not far away, near the window -
The woman's soft body just lay on the man's back. Even in a public place, she didn't care at all. The rough spot squeezed the man's hard back. Gu Yanshen pushed away the coffee cup in front of him and turned it slightly sideways.
Turning sideways, with just one glance, Zijin saw his sexy thin lips curling up, and he grabbed the woman's hand with his backhand.
Because the distance was quite far, Zijin could only see his lips moving, but couldn't hear clearly what he was saying.
But thinking about it, it was also a very nice thing to say. Otherwise, how could that woman have such a charming smile?
"Miss, has your friend arrived?"
The waiter probably saw her standing at the door of the restaurant, so he stepped forward to ask.
Zijin thought that she was disturbing other people's good things by going up at this time. She was not so ignorant of current affairs. Bad people and good deeds were as disgusting as destroying people's wealth, right?
She twitched the corner of her mouth in a cold tone, turned around, retracted her gaze, and turned to the waiter and said, "I'm sorry, I think I may have found the wrong one."
After saying that, he walked out of the restaurant without looking back.
…………
※※※※※
In fact, he didn't have to go back to City C with Gu Yanshen. Since he had a beautiful woman in his arms, Zijin finally decided to buy a plane ticket and fly back directly.
She came here alone. When she went back, she brought a set of clothes that she had changed into. It took more than four hours to go from city B to city C. It was already afternoon when she got off the plane. Zi Jin was thinking about this.
It was not good to go back to Qiao's house at that time, so I simply went to the hospital.
When Zijin went to the hospital, Shen Dongming happened to be in the garden. There was a child standing next to him. The child was holding a picture album in his hand. He didn't know what he said. Shen Dongming smiled very happily.
How long has it been since I saw my father smile like this?
Zi Jin looked at it in a daze, with mixed thoughts in his mind for a while - when she married Qiao Jinglian for her father, in the past five years, she had not only lost, but also gained. At least, Qiao Shiyun was very good to her, and
My father can now stand here peacefully like this. This is considered a mental problem. The doctor will give him the best care. He can even put a smile on his face again...
All of this has become worthwhile, right?
She did not come forward to disturb Shen Dongming, but just stood by the big tree, watching her father and the child sitting on the lawn not far away, very intimate, and her heart felt warm.
It is right to persist. In this world, her only remaining relative is her father. As long as he is safe, healthy, and happy, she thinks everything is fine.
Finally, I went to the doctor's office and asked about Shen Dongming's current situation. The doctor told her that your father's condition is very good recently, because there is a caregiver who comes here often. That caregiver happens to have a little daughter, and she often follows him when he has nothing to do.
The mother came together. After a few visits, the child became familiar with Shen Dongming. Shen Dongming liked the child very much, because of the child, his mood became much more cheerful.
Zijin had just seen the child and asked the doctor: "How old is the child?"
"I heard he is 5 years old."
Zi Jin felt bitter in his heart. He was 5 years old - he had two pigtails and liked to wear plaid dresses the most. Wasn't that who he was back then?
Before leaving, she went to the ward to take a look at Shen Dongming. He had already taken medicine and fell asleep. Then Zijin opened the door of the ward, walked in quietly, sat on the bedside and watched his father sleeping.
After so many years, time has left obvious traces on his body. Zijin couldn't help but reach out and stroke her father's temples. There were already white hairs here. She sat for a while and let her thoughts go.
I wantonly recalled the time when my mother was still alive. At that time, the Shen family, a family of three, was the happiest.
When her cell phone rang, she was still in a daze. It took a while before she realized that it was her cell phone ringing. She was afraid of waking up Shen Dongming, so she quickly stood up and walked out of the room.
It was Mu Chenchu who called. The meal last time was not finished. Mu Chenchu said that this time he found a safer one. When Zijin heard about the safer one, he was a little bit dumbfounded.
"I get off work at 5 o'clock, how about you come to the door of the company now and I will take you there directly?" Zijin heard Mu Chenchu flipping through documents, "...I'm afraid you don't know the way.
You just came back, it’s been 5 years, City C has changed a lot.”
Zijin thought that when he went back to Qiao's at this time, he probably wouldn't meet anyone he didn't want to see, so he said, OK. After hanging up the phone, Zijin quickly took a taxi back to Qiao's.
Chenchu had already packed up and was waiting for her in the parking lot. Zijin got into her car. As soon as Mu Chenchu started the car, she saw a black car driving in at the entrance. She stepped on the brakes to avoid it.
The moment Zijin raised her head, it happened to be the moment two cars passed by each other. The car's car film was not very deep, so she could clearly see the man sitting in the back seat of the car.
My heart skipped a beat, he will come too?
"It's Mr. Gu." Mu Chenchu obviously saw it too. His eyes fell on Zijin's face and caught the trace of panic in her eyes. She bumped the woman beside her with her elbow, "Hey, what's wrong with your face?"
Red? Are you so nervous when you see Mr. Gu?"
"...No way." Zi Jin frowned, ignoring the guilty conscience in his heart, and retorted directly, "Don't talk nonsense."
"What nonsense am I talking about?"
Mu Chenchu was no longer in a hurry to drive. He rarely had a serious face when he was working. At this moment, the word "gossip" was written on his face, "Look at your own face. Don't try to deceive me. Don't I understand you? But to be honest
Yes, you and Mr. Gu... Isn’t Mr. Gu Qiao Jinglian’s brother? "
"do not talk!"
Zijin didn't want to hide her good friend, so she pressed her temples with a headache. Too many things were pressing on her chest all the time, and she also felt uncomfortable. She knew that Mu Chenchu was a trustworthy person, and she couldn't help but say some words.
He said it, "I don't know if God is playing tricks on me... The day before I returned to China, I got drunk, and for some reason, I had a one-night stand with someone in a hotel. That man, he was...
Gu Yanshen."
"Mr. Gu?"
Mu Chenchu never dreamed that Zijin had already had a relationship with Gu Yanshen, "No wonder, when I saw him looking at you before, something was wrong. I can definitely feel that when he looked at you, he was a man.
Looking at a woman, that kind of...hungry look that wants to swallow you up."
"..."
"Zijin, what are you going to do now? You were on a business trip with him before, could it be..."
"No!"
Zi Jin frowned, interrupted Mu Chenchu's random speculation, and made a silent gesture, "Don't make wild guesses, that time in England was an accident, and after that... of course it can't happen again. He is Qiao Jinglian's biological brother.
According to my seniority, I have to call him big brother."
"So what?" Mu Chenchu didn't take it seriously at all. Remembering that when Qiao Jinglian chased Xie Lingxi in the restaurant before, she became angry, "Does Qiao Jinglian consider you your wife? You're not in City C.
In the past five years, he has not been idle for a day, he has been on gossip entertainment all day long, and everyone in City C knows about Xie Lingxi’s relationship with him, so you don’t need to keep your integrity for him, right?”
"I didn't protect myself for him."
Zi Jin sighed, even if she wanted to keep it now, she already had no jade to keep. Moreover, the key to her relationship with Gu Yanshen was not Qiao Jinglian at all, but the Qiao family in between.
And she had never thought about the consequences of a one-night stand.
In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the scene he saw in the hotel restaurant in city B. The woman with a voluptuous figure clung to him intimately... She must not be a clean and self-sufficient man. What did she mean to him?
…………
Waving her hands, she didn't want to continue saying this annoying thing, and urged Mu Chenchu to drive quickly, "If you don't talk about these spoiling things, don't you talk about eating? I'm almost starving to death."
As soon as Mu Chenchu put down the handbrake, Zijin's cell phone rang. She fastened her seat belt and then took out her cell phone. There was a string of unstored numbers on it, but she knew it as soon as she looked at the first few digits.
Who made the call?
He didn't think much about it and just pressed it.
"Whose phone number?" Mu Chenchu asked curiously.
Before Zijin could answer, her phone rang again, with the same number. She bit her lip in annoyance and handed the phone to Mu Chenchu, "Gu Yanshen."
Mu Chenchu chuckled and laughed, "Let me tell you, Mr. Gu treats you differently, don't believe it. Don't refuse to answer it, answer it quickly, men can't stimulate you."
Who wants to provoke him?
Zijin grinded her teeth, her phone was always in her palm, and the music was still vibrating, as if it was always provoking her nerves, reminding her of something - she thought, why didn't she pick him up?
Phone calls? Tantrums? What kind of tempers are there? Is there anything easy to get angry about?
…………
Finally, she pressed the call button. She took a deep breath before speaking, so when she spoke, her tone was particularly calm, "Hello, hello."
"Why don't you answer the phone?"
As soon as Gu Yanshen heard her serious words, his voice became a little deeper. Even through the phone, Zijin could feel the chill coming from the other side of the radio wave, "When did you return to City C?"
?”
"A little earlier than Mr. Gu."
"Then why didn't you tell me? I asked you to come down for breakfast, and you went straight to the plane to eat? Did I tell you to come back first?"
Zijin bit his lip and spoke after a moment, still in a respectful tone, "Mr. Gu, I think the contract has been negotiated, so there is no need to stay in City B. As for why I didn't say hello to you?
I went back to City C because I don’t want to disturb Mr. Gu’s good things, otherwise it would be too unwise, wouldn’t it?”
Gu Yanshen was obviously stunned, "What good thing?"
Zi Jin subconsciously squeezed the cell phone in his palm and secretly scolded the man for pretending to be confused, "Mr. Gu, if there is nothing else, I will hang up. It is already time to get off work."
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Gu Yanshen on the other end to say anything, she directly switched off the call, put the phone into her pocket, and heard the suppressed laughter of Mu Chenchu who was driving next to her.
She frowned, "Why are you laughing?"
"You're a little girl who smiles a little bit but doesn't mean what she means!" Mu Chenchu is beautiful and usually has a serious look at work, but when she smiles slightly and her eyebrows are crooked, she makes people feel particularly sweet, and her voice is also soft.
, "Zijin, do you know the tone of voice you just spoke to Mr. Gu - well, what does it sound like?"
"like what?"
"Like a little woman having a tantrum."
"…………"
"Do not believe?"
Mu Chenchu shook her head. It was a red light. She stepped on the accelerator and turned to look at Zijin. Then she reached out and opened the mirror in front of her. She pointed at the woman in the mirror and said, "See for yourself.
Does your look betray your heart?"
Zijin turned around and looked at himself reflected in the small rectangular mirror——
Sold her heart?
Is it that obvious? The difference is, one nose, two eyes, and one mouth, where is the betrayal?
She slapped Mu Chenchu's hand away, frowned and closed the mirror, "Don't talk nonsense, there is nothing like what you think."
"You know what I'm thinking?"
"…………"
"The way you talked to Mr. Gu on the phone just now, I can describe it in four words - confident! Zijin, to be honest, do you know Mr. Gu? When he airborne, I did an investigation. He
When he was in the UK, he was engaged in investment. VVS, the most famous hotel in the UK, was one of his industries. It is said that this man's vision was particularly unique and accurate. As long as he invested, he would make a profit. So as soon as he returned to China, he directly
After becoming the president of Qiao's, no one in the top management of Qiao's dared to say a word, except of course that dandy young master Qiao Jinglian. For someone like Mr. Gu, let alone him calling you, you dared to just press the button.
Even if he stands in front of me, I will feel depressed. So, do you understand what I mean?"
………
It means - Gu Yanshen dotes on her and gives in to her, is that why she feels confident?
Zijin disagreed, shook his head, and persisted, "Chenchen, you are overthinking, it's impossible."
When Mu Chen first saw that she was stubborn and refused to admit it, she suppressed her sigh, said nothing more, and concentrated on driving.
Zi Jin said that, but he was agitated in his heart. He was a little distracted all night and during the meal. In the end, Mu Chenchu drove her back to Qiao's house.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw Qiao Jingting carrying a small suitcase downstairs, followed by Qiao Shiyun, whose face was not very good. Qiao Jingting turned to Qiao Shiyun and said: "...Dad, you don't have to be angry with me.
, Mom said it herself, she wants to live outside these two days."
Zijin was standing at the entrance and happened to hear these words, and his heart relaxed slightly - it turned out that Li Muhua had moved out?
This is really not like her style. As soon as she came back, Li Muhua moved out. To put it bluntly, wasn't that just making room for herself?
"Tell her later that she wants to live outside so much...Zijin?"
Qiao Shiyun had just finished speaking angrily when he spotted Zi Jin at the entrance. He coughed lightly and changed the subject, "Are you back?"
"dad."
Zi Jin bent down to change his shoes at the entrance. Suddenly there was an engine sound in the garden. Zi Jin's heart suddenly tightened. She recognized that it was Gu Yanshen's car. She didn't expect him to come back so early today. She quickly put on her slippers and walked in, "
Dad, Jingting, um, I've already eaten outside, I'll go up first..."
"etc."
Qiao Jingting dropped the box in her hand and stopped in front of Zijin, "Shen Zijin, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Did you do something shameful?"
"..."
"Jing Ting, what are you talking about? I've said it before, Zi Jin is your sister-in-law. Don't call her by name all day long. Do you have any manners? This is how I taught you to behave like a person since you were a child?" Qiao Shiyun
He frowned and scolded in a low voice.
Qiao Jingting's face stiffened a little, but she was still a little worried about Qiao Shiyun, "Dad, you know how to yell at me, why don't you ask your chosen daughter-in-law where she has been and what good things she has done?
Are you still embarrassed to walk into Qiao's house now? Don't think that others won't know about the good things you did in city B!"
Zijin's heart tightened subconsciously - City B?
Today's newspaper seems to have not revealed anything about City B. Why did Qiao Jingting talk about City B? Did Qiao Jinglian tell her? Impossible... because strictly speaking, what happened to her in City B is considered all
All the reasons are on her side. It is impossible for Qiao Jingting to question herself like this.
"City b?" Qiao Shiyun was also a little surprised, "Zijin, did you go to city b?"
"...Dad, I'm going to..."
"She and I went to city B for a business trip."
A low and familiar male voice came from the entrance, cutting off Zi Jin's words. Gu Yanshen reached out and tugged on his tie, with his coat hanging on his long arm. He strolled over and looked at Qiao Shiyun with open eyes, "Because it was a temporary decision.
So I didn’t tell you. There is a contract in city B, which has been put on hold for a while. Yesterday, Zijin and I went over and signed the contract, which increased it by 2 percentage points.”
Qiao Shiyun's eyes lit up, "... City B, you mean the project that you negotiated with Mr. Li and the others before? Yan Shen, you got 2 percentage points more?"
"Um."
Gu Yanshen nodded expressionlessly and turned sideways to look at Zijin who was standing aside. Her face was a bit ugly. She had a fever for most of the night last night. Although she was fine today, looking at her look, she knew that she was not.
Complete recovery.
"I knew it would be no problem if I left it to you!" When Qiao Shiyun heard that the 2 percentage points would bring huge profits to Qiao, his face was filled with relief and he took another look.
Jin, "It's a good idea to take Zijin out to negotiate the contract and let her study more."
Qiao Jingting stood aside, looking at Gu Yanshen, her eyes resting on Zijin's face, but he didn't seem to have glanced at her since he entered the room. She frowned, and there was an inexplicable feeling in her heart.
Jealousy.
He immediately stepped forward, his aggressive gaze directed at Zijin, "Dad, do you really think Shen Zijin is here to negotiate the contract? Rather than go fooling around?"
Zi Jin raised his head and looked at the disdainful expression on Qiao Jingting's face, which was half a smile but not a smile. She was also a little confused. What on earth was she talking about? Or, did she know something? Or... Actually, that incident in City B
Is it related to her?
The last thought flashed through Zijin's mind, and she opened her mouth and asked: "Jingting, if you have any doubts about me, just say it directly, otherwise I really don't know what you are talking about."
"You don't know what I'm talking about?" Qiao Jingting sneered and took a step closer to Zijin, "Shen Zijin, what good things did you do in City B? Don't think that we don't know. I know someone, tell me, you
I got drunk and slept with someone else in city b, right?"
Qiao Shiyun's expression changed drastically, "Jing Ting, there is no evidence, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense! Dad, why are you always protecting this woman? My brother doesn't like her at all. If it weren't for you forcing him to marry her 5 years ago, he wouldn't have disliked going home for the past 5 years.
And mom... you gave her 5% of Qiao's shares, and now even mom is not convinced. My daughter doesn't get such good treatment, why are you so nice to her?" Qiao Jingting was filled with resentment, "I
Why are you lying to me? My friend told me that! She was fooling around with another man in city B, and when she was in the UK, she was also dirty. Someone took photos of her going in and out of the hotel!"
…………
Zijin's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
If she has a clear conscience when it comes to City B, then Britain...
Were you photographed entering and leaving the hotel?
Her breathing paused subconsciously, but at the same time, she felt more and more clearly the familiar and domineering male aura from behind, provoking her nerves wantonly, constantly reminding her that in England, she had done
What's up……
"Who told you?" Qiao Shiyun listened to his daughter's sworn tone, pondered for a moment, and then turned to Zijin: "Some words should not be said carelessly. Don't listen to the wind or rain. I know you don't like Zijin.
, you can’t falsely accuse her like this..."
"Did I falsely accuse her? Dad, why don't you ask her yourself? Look at her face. She looks as white as a ghost. She would do this if she had a clear conscience?"
Of course Qiao Jingting would not tell her. In fact, Xie Lingxi told her these things in private.
——That, the prospective sister-in-law she had identified from the beginning to the end, of course she believed Xie Lingxi's words, and since there was no news out now, she naturally didn't know that the follow-up to that incident was to let Gu Yanshen get the situation back, so
Only now do you dare to be so unscrupulous.
