The brown paper envelope was still hanging in the air, and Si Lan's hand that handed it over was still stiff. He looked hesitantly at Shang Qingwen, who was sitting and looking through the photos. In fact, when the three of them heard that Shu Ran had sent the divorce agreement, Zhang Chenchu's
My first reaction was, oh my god, this is just like throwing away garbage, it’s so thorough!
In their hearts, they have inexplicably defined their friends as ‘trash’!
Even Si Lan admired her in his heart. This woman was so decisive in doing things and did not mess around, which put them all to shame as men.
Si Lan handed over the agreement, hoping that Shang Qingwen would take a look. He also paid special attention to the changes in Shang Qingwen's expression. Seeing that the man with a cold face was obviously startled, he didn't know what to say.
He just maintained the hand-over gesture, guessing what Shang Qingwen would say.
Shang Qingwen, who was sitting on the sofa and looking through photos, was holding an extremely clear photo in his hand. The photo showed Shu Ran sitting in a coffee shop while drinking coffee and looking through his tablet. The photo was enlarged.
The whole picture is extremely clear, especially her face. Her face is painted with cool-colored makeup, her eyebrows are trimmed thin and long, she is covered with light blue eye shadow, her eyelashes are curled, and her eyeliner is also
Her makeup was extremely beautiful, her eyes looked particularly big, and her makeup was flawless. Even if she took a photo at such a close range, she couldn't see anything wrong. She looked like an iceberg beauty in the photo, just like before.
Same.
Shang Qingwen held the photo in his hand without putting it down. Instead, he looked up at Si Lan, then lowered his head to flip through the next photo, and said in a calm tone, "Which law firm?"
"Kant!" Si Lan raised his eyebrows, couldn't he? Just as Si Lan's heart skipped a beat, he heard Shang Qingwen speak softly.
"Received!"
Si Lan blinked and put the cowhide envelope aside. Poor Kant, you don't know that you were acquired just because of a simple divorce lawsuit. Three seconds of silence for your boss!
When Si Lan came in, he made a bet with the two. Zhang Chenchu said that Shang Qingwen would not get angry. If he did, he would only vent his anger in other places in his next life. Sure enough, he vented his anger in the right place!
I ate up this law firm without leaving any bones!
Si Lan sighed in his heart and backed out, and placed the agreement gently on the coffee table. Shang Qingwen, who was silently looking through the photos, glanced at the envelope after Si Lan walked out of the room, his expression still unchanged.
But his eyes became gloomy.
－－－－－－－－－－Gorgeous dividing line－－－－－－－－－－－－－
Shu Ran returned to the hotel and made an appointment to check out at the front desk. After all, she had been there for more than half a month. It would be a waste of money to leave it open without staying there. Occasionally, she made an exception for spending money in a flashy way, but she still did not advocate waste of unnecessary expenses.
Yes, after all, she is still in debt. She is thinking about taking over the business received by the institute as soon as the work in City G is completed. She will resume classes at school during the day and take over business when there is business. She has already made an agreement with Professor Wen.
, as long as she can do it, the price is reasonable, and she will accept it unconditionally. If she could still choose to do it like before, now, she is short of money!
I borrowed 10,000 yuan from Lin Xuejing, and I naturally had arrangements for food and drinks in G City, but it was just not as enjoyable as I requested. There would definitely be room and board at night, because the cemetery I found was far away from the urban area of G City.
The nearest county town was also some distance away, and it would take several hours to go back and forth. She couldn't waste time traveling on the road there, so she prepared her belongings for camping in the wild in advance.
Professor Wen said that she had been assigned a small assistant. She was one of the outstanding students in the history department of the school. He had contacted her before. Her voice was so soft and frail that Shu Ran mistakenly thought it was a woman. It was not that she had anything to do with women.
The stereotype is that the work of archeology is exposed to the sun. When I go out to teach classes and do internship research, girls are not only physically weak, but also often do this and that. When she accepted this job, she said that she did not want a female assistant.
I have summed it up after so many outdoor lessons in the past. Out of a little selfishness, a boy can still help her carry a bag and a suitcase. For a girl? Thank God if you don't carry her.
What do you expect her to do for you?
Fortunately, the other party explained that he was a man, and Shu Ran was stunned by his thin voice. After hanging up the phone, she twitched the corner of her mouth silently, okay, just don't act like a sissy!
Otherwise, she will get mad uncontrollably!
Shu Ran stood at the service desk and told her what time she would check out in the afternoon. She was about to go upstairs to rest. There were still more than four hours before the departure time. Her luggage had been prepared as early as last night. She just needed to go up and book it now.
An alarm clock, have a good sleep, get up and leave.
Just when Shu Ran turned around and was about to go upstairs, she saw the person who was walking towards the elevator. When Shu Ran saw the person clearly, she was surprised that she would meet her here.
"Aunt Cui, why are you here?" A surprised expression appeared on Shu Ran's face, and Aunt Cui who was stopped was obviously stunned. After a while, she smiled slightly unnaturally, "Of course, you
,Why are you here?"
Aunt Cui seemed to have returned from going out. She was neatly dressed and had a satchel in her hand. She also looked a little tired. She was obviously surprised to meet Shu Ran here, so her expression was a little awkward.
Shu Ran saw her expression in her eyes. In fact, what she didn't understand was why Aunt Cui didn't live where Nie Zhanyun lived, but in a hotel?
At this time, someone came into the hotel to check in, and Shu Ran gave up her seat. Aunt Cui looked at Shu Ran and hesitated to speak. Seeing that her expression was a little strange, Shu Ran said that she might as well sit here in the lobby for a while. As a result, Aunt Cui
He hurriedly waved his hand and declined, "No need to understand, let's go upstairs first!"
Shu Ran stopped insisting. They both wanted to go upstairs, so they took the same elevator. But when Aunt Cui pressed the floor button of the elevator, Shu Ran smiled and said that it was a coincidence that she also lived on that floor.
As soon as the elevator arrived, the two of them walked out of the elevator. Coincidentally, their rooms were opposite the door. Aunt Cui smiled and sighed, what a coincidence. It was already late at night and early morning when Shu Ran came to stay that night, so she
No chance to meet Aunt Cui.
Seeing that she looked tired, Shu Ran told her to have a good rest. At this time, Shu Ran had already opened the door with the room card. Seeing that Shu Ran was about to enter, she asked softly, "Of course, I, can I come in and sit for a while?"
?”
Shu Ran turned around and looked at Aunt Cui's expectant eyes. She smiled and said, "Okay, please come in!"
Aunt Cui walked in and Shu Ran poured her a glass of water. Aunt Cui took it with her face full of gratitude and whispered, "Thank you. I haven't known anyone outside these years, and there is no one I can talk to."
, I always thought about going home, but when I came back, I realized that everything had changed!"
Shu Ran felt a little touched after listening to her words. Aunt Cui probably had a lot to talk about. Just like what she said, she had no friends abroad or anyone to talk to, so she felt lonely and wanted to find someone who could talk to her.
Just people talking.
Shu Ran has experienced this feeling firsthand. At that time, her parents were having conflicts and she felt lonely. She felt that no one could listen to her. In fact, sometimes it is not that you need someone to talk to you, but you just want to have someone by your side.
It’s just to accompany you, you don’t need to do anything, just to have someone by your side.
Shu Ran put down her bag and sat down, "Auntie, I can accompany you!"
Aunt Cui held the glass of water in both hands and smiled gently at Shu Ran, with a hint of gratitude in her smile, "Yan Ran is still so considerate!"
For the next time, Shu Ran spent time with Aunt Cui chatting about things from her childhood. A lot of what they talked about was what happened in the community where they lived. Older people like to reminisce most, and Aunt Cui's mood changed as they chatted.
As she got better, Shu Ran felt that Aunt Cui had no one to talk to her. She seemed a little awkward at first, maybe because she was not used to such long conversations, but later she mentioned all kinds of interesting things that happened in the previous community.
The atmosphere became lively.
Lin Xuejing has always said that Shu Ran is the pistachio that pleases the middle-aged and elderly people. Seeing that Aunt Cui's mood has improved, she also breathed a sigh of relief. Aunt Cui feels lonely due to lack of family company. These details
Question, did Nie Zhanyun not pay attention to it?
Let her stay in a hotel alone?
Shu Ran felt very disgusted with this approach, just like she would definitely not let her parents and family stay alone in a hotel when she was able!
But this is their family matter after all, and it's not easy for Shu Ran to interfere with it.
"Of course -" Aunt Cui looked at the girl sitting in front of her. She had liked Shu Ran very early, so she often invited Shu Ran to her home as a guest before, and she would prepare Shu Ran when cooking.
Of course, she was five years younger than her eldest son, but she didn't have the tenderness of a little girl. She could tell very early on that her son was interested in this little girl who was five years younger than him, so she worked hard to match him up, and finally
She was overjoyed to see the two children really together, but she didn't expect that the Nie family was in decline and a series of accidents happened, forcing them to leave D City. The night before leaving that year, her son was missing all night.
Sleep, the whole person is haggard.
Should she fight for something for her son? But Shu Ran was already married, and even her son told her not to mention those words to Shu Ran again. She knew her son's thoughts and wanted her not to bother Shu Ran again.
Yes!
Aunt Cui swallowed back the words that stuck in her throat. Fate is like this, you can't force it!
Aunt Cui could only sigh in her heart. A good daughter-in-law has become someone else's. What else can she say besides lamenting the trick of fate?
The mobile phone in her bag started to ring. Aunt Cui took it out and took a look. Her face was a little anxious. She watched Shu Ran go to get water and answered the phone.
Shu Ran got the water and saw Aunt Cui answering the phone. When she heard her whisper "What?", she couldn't help but stood up from the sofa with an anxious look on her face, "Okay, I'll be right away.
Come right away!"
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Shu Ran looked at her and turned pale with fright. When she hung up the phone, she was a little incoherent. She was anxious and didn't know what to say. She just grabbed Shu Ran's hand and squeezed it tightly out of fear.
She held the phone and wanted to make a call, but thinking about what her son said that day, she couldn't find him during the day, and her hand holding the phone was shaking.
"Auntie!" Shu Ran saw the hand that was holding her shaking constantly. Shu Ran put down the cup and looked at Aunt Cui with a puzzled expression.
But Aunt Cui held her hand tightly with her backhand, raised her face, her eyes instantly turned red, "Of course, I want to go to the hospital!"
Shu Ran didn't know what kind of mentality she was in when she drove Aunt Cui to where she wanted to go. Along the way, she heard Aunt Cui crying quietly in the back seat of the car. She asked several times but she didn't know.
After receiving Aunt Cui's response, she was anxious whether she should call Nie Zhanyun and ask what was going on? But when she picked up the phone, Aunt Cui hurriedly stopped her, "Don't, don't call!"
Shu Ran clearly felt that Aunt Cui was scared to death and urgently needed comfort from her relatives, but she refused to call Nie Zhanyun. Shu Ran looked at Aunt Cui's pale face and finally gave up.
Following the route Aunt Cui told us, we drove to the gate of a high-end private nursing home.
This nursing home is located in a relatively remote and quiet area of City D. Except for a few white houses in this area, it is surrounded by dense forests. When Shu Ran's car entered, she was asked to show the corresponding ID.
When he took out his ID card, the other party looked at it and shook his head, "I'm sorry, miss, you can't go in!"
Shu Ran was stunned for a moment, why? Aunt Cui, who was sitting in the back of the car, hurriedly got out of the car, exchanged a few words with the other party at the door, took out a card from her bag and handed it to the other party. The other party looked at her, and then looked at it again
Looking at Shu Ran, he relaxed and let him go.
Shu Ran started the car and drove in. She kept wondering, where was this place? Seeing Aunt Cui get out of the car and run over there anxiously, she locked the car and followed quickly.
There were very few people in the hospital, but there were cameras everywhere, and the decoration was better than other hospitals. Shu Ran followed Aunt Cui to the third floor quickly. At the door of a ward, she saw Aunt Cui open the door and ran in.
Shu Ran also quickened his pace.
There was a strong smell of disinfectant in the ward. This smell was smelled from the moment Shu Ran stepped into the corridor. Almost all hospitals have this smell, mixed with various medicines and impacting each other.
With her sensitive sense of smell, Shu Ran was already standing at the door and heard Aunt Cui's choked crying in the room, and a man's voice sounded softly.
"Madam, the patient needs round-the-clock care. If you were not around just now, a big problem would almost occur because the patient's lungs were damaged by smoke before, and his lung function has shown obvious signs of deterioration in the next five years.
Sometimes poor breathing can be life-threatening, and he is very likely to die quietly in this case. As a patient's family, you must pay attention in the future!"
"I know, I'm sorry, I was careless, I'm sorry!" Aunt Cui in the room cried, while Shu Ran, who was standing at the door of the ward, was stunned.
Because she was standing at the door, she happened to see the person lying on the hospital bed at this time. He was very thin, lying on the big bed like a chopstick, with an oxygen mask on his face, and there would be weak breathing from time to time in the plastic cover.
A small cloud of white smoke smoked out. He closed his eyes tightly and his face was as pale as paper. The hands placed on the sheets had needles and soft clips of instruments inserted into them. Medical instruments were placed on the left and right sides of the bed.
, making a beeping sound.
The doctor and nurse came out of the ward and walked past Shu Ran. Shu Ran stood at the door blocking their way. After a few polite reminders from the other party, she came back to her senses, apologized and moved away, waiting for the doctors.
After leaving, she leaned against the wall outside the ward, not knowing for a moment how to digest the information she saw.
Shu Tongya told her that time that no one in the Nie family except Nie Zhanyun at school was spared from the fire in the Nie family five years ago, so she was surprised when she saw Aunt Cui that night, but how could she?
The newspaper said that no one was immune to asking about other people's sad things, but Aunt Cui was alive. At that time, she was thinking that since Aunt Cui was alive, he should be fine too.
Nie Zhanyun’s only brother!
Shu Ran wanted to ask about Nie Zhanbai, who was only two months younger than her, when she was chatting with Aunt Cui just now, but Aunt Cui changed the subject, obviously not wanting to mention it.
He was taller than her back then, and had grown to 1.8 meters tall when he was seventeen years old. But now, is he the person lying on the bed?
How can it be?
Shu Ran couldn't believe that the scrawny person on the hospital bed was the same person who once laughed at her for eating a large bowl of dumplings in one go and eating more dumplings than him. She chased her and called you, "If you don't want to call me 'sister-in-law' today, I will strangle you to death."
In the end, he lifted her up with his backhand and dangled her in the air, teasing a yellow-haired girl. She dared to be my sister-in-law, and my brother only liked you, a bad-mouthed guy!
His arms have obviously become so thin due to muscle atrophy, and the forehead bones on his face are also bulging, leaving only a piece of skin that is tight and looks like the skin of a man in his forties or fifties.
So old!
Aunt Cui's sobs were intermittent in the room. Shu Ran stood at the door to calm down her emotions and walked over to hand her a handkerchief. Aunt Cui's eyes were swollen from crying and she choked in a low voice: "The doctor called just now.
He said that he found Zhan Bai not breathing, but I was so frightened that I didn’t know what to do!"
Shu Ran's heart twitched, and stretched out his hand to help Aunt Cui lean on his shoulder, patted her shoulder gently, and turned his eyes to the person on the bed. He was indeed Zhan Bai, but that handsome guy back then
How did Nie Zhanbai, the school sweetheart, become like this?
The needles inserted into his withered wrists made Shu Ran feel uncomfortable, and Aunt Cui's crying also made her feel sad.
"I didn't dare to ask him to come over, he couldn't come, and I was afraid that he would be worried and sad, but I really can't handle it alone. I'm so scared, Ran Ran!" Aunt Cui said, hugging Shu Ran and crying bitterly.
Perhaps this kind of sadness has been stored for too long, and finally finding a place to talk and vent is like a gate that has been broken open. All the depression and discomfort can’t wait to be released. Shu Ran quietly cried amidst her cries.
Sorting through my thoughts, Aunt Cui didn't even call Nie Zhanyun under such circumstances. Why on earth was this?
－－－－－－－－－－Gorgeous dividing line－－－－－－－－－－－－－
Puhua!
Finance Department!
As an important department of the company, the Finance Minister frowned at the report. He immediately called the secretary and asked if General Manager Nie was in the office. The secretary said that General Manager Nie had finished a meeting, so he put down the
Phone took the report in his hand and walked towards the general manager's office, saying as he walked, "It's over, it's over, what's going on?"
The internal call was dialed, and the assistant's voice sounded on the phone, "Mr. Nie, Minister Gu, the Minister of Finance, is here!"
At this time, He Ming was sitting in front of Nie Zhanyun's desk in the general manager's office. He looked a little annoyed. When he heard the assistant's voice, he frowned, stood up and said solemnly, "I don't care what method you use, this
If something goes wrong, you know the consequences!"
After He Ming finished speaking, he was about to leave. Nie Zhanyun, who was sitting opposite and smoking, chuckled, "Mr. He, I think it is necessary to remind you that now we are grasshoppers on the same rope."
He Ming narrowed his eyes, looked at Nie Zhanyun who was chatting and laughing, and sneered, "What? Threaten me?"
Nie Zhanyun smiled, "How dare I? I just think that since we are allies, of course we have to advance and retreat together, don't you think so?"
He Ming snorted, "Of course I will find a way. As for that idiot He Qianxun, he caused trouble just to give himself an excuse to stay. Be careful, he is targeting you! He is checking you, you
Do you know? The old man has turned a blind eye now, so you can take care of yourself!"
Nie Zhanyun's eyes moved and he said no more. After He Ming left, Minister Gu hurriedly walked in and handed the report in his hand to Nie Zhanyun, "Mr. Nie, the audit is about to begin, but we have internally discovered that there are several huge amounts of money.
The whereabouts of the money are unknown. If it is a small amount, we can still find a way, but these amounts are really too big!"
Nie Zhanyun didn't even look at the report. He sat on the chair and looked at Minister Gu who looked panicked. "You do your job well. Don't worry about other things. Leave it to me!"
A cold sweat broke out on Minister Gu's back. Don't you care? How could it be possible? Something happened and it was on his head. Moreover, Minister Gu didn't say these payments aloud, but he was saying in his heart, these payments
The money was transferred with your signature!
－－－－－－－－－－－－Gorgeous dividing line－－－－－－－－－－－－－
"Found it, here it is!"
"This is a nursing home for senior officials in City D. You should know this place best!" Zhang Chenchu looked at Si Lan, who raised an eyebrow, "I am not in charge of medical and health care!" The implication is that he is not omnipotent.
"But there are some things inside that only you can get!" Shang Qingwen, who had been silent, spoke up!
Si Lan's eyes moved and he snapped his fingers, "Correct answer!"
After speaking, he turned over his large-screen mobile phone to show a photo, and said quietly, "Nie Zhanbai, Nie Zhanyun's biological brother!"
－－－－－－－－Hehehe, I will update it in a day. Yes, the update is completed today, right?——
