On a rainy day, in a high-end coffee shop on the second floor of a commercial street, a long-haired woman in a plain dress sat by the window, looking down at the south-to-north street at the corner of the street downstairs.
As the traffic flowed, she sometimes looked at the watch on her wrist, and sometimes looked downstairs at where the car was parked. She seemed a little anxious, but also very nervous. When she saw a military green Hummer downstairs, it was arrogant and steady.
When she stopped, she quickly averted her eyes, stood up, and headed towards the bathroom.
In the women's bathroom, the woman looked in the mirror again and again. Unlike her usual heavy make-up, she only wore very light make-up today. Her skirt was also the plainest color she chose. If it weren't for her poor sleep these days,
She had serious bags under her eyes, so she would choose not to put on makeup. She took a deep breath in the mirror, turned around and walked quickly back to her seat. She still couldn't help but hold the cup in front of her with her hands.
When the sharp footsteps approaching her with the sound of wind, she quickly stood up. Without even having time to raise her head, she lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "Brother!"
The person who came stopped and said with a hint of apology in his hearty voice, "Second Miss, I'm sorry, the young master has something to do today and doesn't have time to come over, so--"
Ye Qingai was slightly startled. She didn't know whether it was because she was relieved that the person who came was not her eldest brother or because he didn't come. She couldn't help feeling lonely. She raised her head and looked at the man in military uniform. This man was
The people around big brother.
"Brother, is there something important?" Ye Qingai was secretly cursing when she asked this question. The eldest brother is a soldier, how can she have any involvement in matters in the army?
Little Taiyang smiled honestly and touched his flat head, "Well, the boss went to G City today to attend the 100-day banquet of a good friend's child!" After saying that, he smiled, sat down, and was thinking,
Hurry up and make a quick decision, we still have to rush to G City to pick up the boss!
"Is this the Pei family in City G?" Ye Qingai also sat down. Little Yangyang was slightly stunned, nodded, and thought, Hey, she knows these things about the boss quite clearly, but does she still know that the boss likes her?
What about a married woman? (Note: Readers who have read the plot of "Limited Time Marriage, Please Stop" should know that this 100-day banquet is the 100-day banquet for the son of Gu Qingyan and Pei Shaochen, which is the same as the time of this article.
parallel.)
"Then will my big brother come to the wedding?" Ye Qingai continued to ask, with a hint of expectation in her eyes, and her hand holding the cup tightened. It was strange that they were obviously brothers and sisters, but such a question had to be conveyed through an outsider.
Little Taiyang's expression paused, "Second Miss, the boss is about to be transferred back to Kyoto, and things there will be too busy. I'm afraid -" Little Taiyang said, feeling helpless, and the boss over there just threw the person away like a burden.
He didn't know why the two siblings didn't have a good relationship!
Ye Qingai is a child adopted by the Ye family, the daughter of Ye Mingxiu's father's comrade-in-arms. Her father and mother died together with the enemy during a mission, and the remaining child was adopted and raised by the Ye family. This is what the Ye family made clear but did not declare.
fact.
"I know!" Ye Qingai smiled and felt slightly relieved.
Little Taiyang looked at Ye Qingai with a lucky expression of relief on her face, and frowned slightly. This second lady was indeed somewhat similar to what the chief of staff had analyzed. From her words in the first few seconds, you could tell how much she hoped for the boss.
Come here, you can even hear a hint of pity in her words, and because of her plain dress, it is really easy to classify her into the ranks of gentle women who are independent of the world, but -
-
Little Taiyang has been with the Chief of Staff and Young Master Ye for so long, and has already developed immunity. Some people may seem innocent and harmless, but in fact, what they appear to be may not be the most real. He is good at investigation and easily caught her.
A sense of joy flashed across his face.
To put it bluntly, she is afraid that the young master will come over and her little tricks will have nowhere to hide!
Look, the young and old are too lazy to come over!
Little Taiyang finished the glass of water in front of him and smiled at the lady-like second lady sitting in front of him, "Young Master asked me to bring a message to the second lady!"
Ye Qingai put down the cup and looked at the little sun.
"The young master said that the second young lady should be considerate when doing things, and don't go too far in some things!"
Ye Qingai tightened her grip on the cup.
After watching the man in military uniform leave, the cup she held tightly in her hand fell heavily on the table, making a loud 'bang' sound.
－－－－－－－－－－Gorgeous dividing line－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－On the g headboard, too much, too much!
There is such an arrogant woman. Now think about how gentle Yu Nuanxin was when she first found her, or how Ye Qingai saw that Lin Xuejing was easy to bully and used her power to bully others!
Whose power is it fighting for?
Shu Ran knew from Shang Qingwen that Ye Qingai was the second young lady of the Ye family. The Ye family was a military aristocracy and indeed had a lot of power. When Zhen Nuanyang showed her the stack of photos, he told her that Ye Qingai
Qing Ai targeted Lin Xuejing and told Lin Xuejing to stop as soon as she saw the opportunity. It was too late to hide from such a family, and no one who messed with it would have a good life. She also reminded Lin Xuejing in a subtle way that the family that was married to the Si family was absolutely impossible.
Why bother with someone who has no power?
But now it's too late no matter what she says!
There was silence in the ward. Lin Xuejing's cell phone rang. It was Mother Wei calling. Mother Wei asked when Lin Xuejing would come home. She had cooked at home and was going to entertain Fan Chen in the evening. Lin Xuejing smiled bitterly when she answered the phone, her eyes still red.
, but tried hard to answer her mother in a normal voice, "Mom, I have to work overtime tonight, can you change the day?"
"Another day? You push it one day at a time. Are you really so busy at work? It seems I have to go find your curator! My salary has not been increased for a month, but my time is getting less and less!"
"Mom--" Lin Xuejing became a little excited, and the tone of her voice was a little higher than before. Mother Wei on the other side of the phone heard something strange in her voice, and knew that she had been pushing too hard recently, so she softened her voice.
, "It's a rare weekend, your dad is here and Fanchen is free, so why not come and have a meal?"
Seeing that she couldn't hide anymore, Lin Xuejing moved, with a look of pain on her face. Shu Ran hurried over and quietly touched her belly with her hand. She must be feeling uncomfortable in her stomach. The doctor came just now and said
You should lie down and rest to nourish your fetus.
Shu Ran saw Lin Xuejing anxiously holding the phone. She stretched out her hand and handed the phone to her to answer. Lin Xuejing had no choice but to hand the phone to her. Shu Ran got up and chatted with Aunt Wei. As soon as Wei's mother heard Shu Ran's voice, she was very happy.
He said hello directly and asked Shu Ran to come with him for dinner. By the way, he said, "Ran, have you met Fanchen before? Let's come and sit together today. You haven't been here for a month." Shu Ran laughed and dealt with it.
She is not good at lying, but she had to bite the bullet at this time and said, Aunt Wei, I'm afraid we won't be able to come. We are not playing in D city but in L city. Wei's mother choked up in her voice. She is not in D city, why go so far to play?
In the end, Mother Wei had to hang up the phone angrily. Alas, there was nothing she could do. Ranran was an honest child in her heart. Honest children are not good at lying. She said she should be in L city, but it was a pity that a big table was missing.
meals.
After hanging up the phone, Shu Ran couldn't help but gasp, and her ears were still a little red. She felt that it was wrong to deceive Mother Wei, but now she was riding a tiger and it was difficult to get off. Lin Xuejing couldn't leave the hospital now, so how could she get home? She thought at the same time
After thinking for a while, "Tell Si Lan, he has the right to know!" Although in Shu Ran's eyes, apart from Si Lan being Shang Qingwen's good brother since childhood, his character has not yet reached her level.
Eyes, after all, from the very beginning, I realized that there will be different women at every party. He changed women at a dizzying speed, especially that day when she and Shang Qingwen went to his courtyard in the suburbs for an outing, and saw all the women.
The messy clothes on the floor extended from the entrance of the living room on the ground floor to the stairwell. Listening to the debauched sounds upstairs, her heart dropped a lot. The news outside spread that the young mayor was following
In fact, the personal life of a god-like figure is not so orderly, and she felt angry, anxious and helpless when she met such a man because of her friend's passion.
But what's the use now, I already have children!
Losing your life for such a man? It’s not worth it!
"Of course, my mother didn't say anything else just now, right?" Although Lin Xuejing's face was not very good, her spirit was much better than before.
Shu Ran shook her head, "You said nothing?" She looked at Lin Xuejing in confusion, "Aunt Wei has always been busy, has she been very idle recently?"
A wry smile appeared on Lin Xuejing's face, and she spoke after a long time, "My mother was fired from the hospital! Half a month ago, the day after Ye Qingai told me the condition! My father also encountered a problem in his business
A lot of troubles arose, and my cooperating friends suddenly withdrew one after another for different reasons. My dad was the one who took the lead on that project, and the others withdrew, but my dad was still in charge!"
Shu Ran was shocked. After being with Shang Qingwen for so long, she had learned a lot from the many things Shang Qingwen had experienced, including intrigues in the business world and various shady methods behind the scenes.
It’s endless.
"I don't know how long I can hold on!" Lin Xuejing lowered her head and touched her lower abdomen with her hand. Compared to Shu Ran's pain of losing her child, this obvious threat was even more unacceptable.
Shu Ran remained silent. She didn't know how to make a decision for Lin Xuejing, because even if Lin Xuejing married into the Si family, it might not be a good destination!
A text message ringtone brought Shu Ran back from her thoughts. She picked up her phone and took a look. It was from Nie Zhanbai. Lin Xuejing also calmed down her mood. She glanced at Shu Ran and learned that the message was from Nie Zhanbai.
She looked stunned for a moment, then spoke softly, "I also went to the hospital to see him a few days after he came back, and he even lent me my mobile phone!"
Shu Ran was slightly startled, then he should have written down her mobile phone number from Lin Xuejing's mobile phone, because she also asked Shu Tongya, and Shu Tongya said she did not tell him her mobile phone number.
Lin Xuejing looked at Shu Ran, who had a slightly stunned expression, and hesitated for a while before speaking again, "Zhan Bai is a little different from before!" She couldn't tell what was different, it was just a feeling! After all, they were old acquaintances before, as children.
When I was studying, I also got mixed up with each other because of the relationship between Shu Ran and Nie Zhanyun.
But people change, and the Nie family has experienced such a big change.
"Of course, have you mentioned his family to him?" Lin Xuejing asked. In fact, the reason why she felt strange was because Nie Zhanbai had not asked about his family for so long. Except for his brother, he had never asked where his brother was.
What's the problem? Isn't it strange?
Does he already know?
But no one told him!
Shu Ran's face darkened, and her smile was bitter, "I don't know how to speak. Let's wait until he gets better and then find a chance to talk to him!" After she finished speaking, she felt depressed because she was in the ward yesterday.
The way Nie Zhanbai looked at Shang Qingwen always made her a little uneasy. The flash of melancholy in his eyes quickly disappeared, as if it had never appeared before, but she sensitively caught it.
Or maybe she saw it wrong?
－－－－－－－－－－Gorgeous dividing line－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
Shang Gang and Shang Qingwen had just finished a meeting and looked at the timetable on their wrists. In the afternoon, they made an appointment with Shu Ran to go home for dinner in the evening. When they returned from Switzerland, they didn't have time to eat with Shu Ran's parents.
After a meal, we made an appointment to go home together tonight.
Shang Qingwen was about to call Shu Ran when Zhou Jia knocked on the door and came in. Seeing that his boss, who had not seen him for a month after returning from vacation, was refreshed and naturally in a good mood. The boss was in a good mood, and naturally they, who were part-time workers, would not be
She was picking on someone for no reason. Although Mr. Shang had never deliberately made things difficult for anyone at work, and he always said what he wanted at work, the gloomy haze on his face finally dissipated. She was both a subordinate and a friend.
I was also happy for him in my heart.
"It's difficult for Guan Yang to finally have a good holiday today. You, the boss, should really be more considerate of your subordinates!" Zhou Jia said with a smile and handed over the last document that needed Shang Qingwen's signature today.
Shang Qingwen looked down at the document with a low smile, then raised his eyes to glance at Zhou Jia, "Do you need it too?"
Zhou Jia immediately put her hands on her heart. She needs it, of course she needs it. After all, she is an adult man and woman. No matter how busy she is at work and how active she is, she cannot fall behind in life-long events. She has been lagging behind for several years and is already on the tail of her thirties.
Well, nothing compared to those young girls.
Shang Qingwen glanced at her and said with a smile without her having to explain, "The annual meeting at the end of this year will be more spectacular than any other year. I believe there will always be something suitable for you!"
Zhou Jia's eyebrows almost jumped up. Looking at the boss in front of him who was very observant, he twitched the corners of his lips. He really has a family, and his thoughts are more delicate than before. You are so busy all day.
Forgot to pimp you out? I want to pay tribute to you on behalf of the hundreds of outstanding single men and women in Shang Gang!
Shang Qingwen smiled but said nothing. Zhou Jia was promoted by Shang Zuoming when he was the general manager of Shang Gang. After working hard for so many years, he could be regarded as Shang Zuoming's right-hand man. However, after Dong Yuan resigned, she remained
Come down.
During his absence, she and Guan Yang were handling company matters.
Zhou Jia took the document handed over by Shang Qingwen and pointed to the door, indicating that someone was looking for him. Shang Qingwen was a little surprised when he saw the person who appeared at the door of his office.
"It's raining red from the sky?" Shang Qingwen stood up, took off his coat and put it on slowly. He watched the person leaning against the door come in and sit on the seat. He had a tired look on his face and sat for a while before speaking quietly.
,"please help me!"
Shang Qingwen buttoned his clothes and glanced at the person sitting opposite, "Are you afraid of marriage?"
Si Lan glanced at him, did she really think that all men were like you, cheating by robbing someone to get married?
Shang Qingwen didn't know that in Si Lan's eyes, his previous experience of dragging Shu Ran to let Si Lan open the green channel to apply for a marriage certificate in the middle of the night had become a true portrayal in Si Lan's eyes.
, who would get married as *quickly as you?
"Of course it's okay to help, but--" Shang Qingwen said with a faint smile. How could it be that the help was in vain?
Si Lan trembled at the corner of his mouth. Zhang Chenchu was right, there is no one with nothing, not even brothers! Shang Qingwen's current performance is the best interpretation of this sentence.
The air in the office circulated quietly, and even the secretary who came in to deliver coffee felt a little out of breath. As soon as the secretary left the office door and gently closed it, Si Lan's tired voice also sounded.
"The conditions are up to you!"
－－－－－－－－Gorgeous dividing line－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
When the doorbell rang in the teachers' apartment of University D, Shu Tongya went to open the door. Shu Ran walked straight in, strode in and asked slightly nervously, "You took Zhan Bai home?"
Where are others?”
Before Shu Ran finished speaking, the door of a nearby bedroom opened. Nie Zhanbai, who was sitting in a wheelchair, held the armrest of the wheelchair with his hands and slid two steps, falling into Shu Ran's field of vision, "Isn't this where I am?
?”
Shu Tongya looked at her daughter with a strange look on her face. Seeing her turbulent look, she also realized that Ran Qidong had brought Nie Zhanbai over for dinner.
When Shu Ran saw Nie Zhanbai, she felt relieved. She had just gone to the hospital and opened the door to the ward. No one was there anymore. She learned from the nurse that Nie Zhanbai had been picked up by Ran Qidong and that his physical condition could not be discharged yet.
, that’s why she was so nervous.
Shu Ran couldn't help but laugh when she breathed a sigh of relief. When she saw that the room Nie Zhanbai just entered was the room where Aunt Cui lived, her heart tightened slightly for a moment. When she came in just now, the bedroom door was closed, and she didn't
Do you know how long he has been in there?
"I'm sorry for yesterday!" Nie Zhanbai suddenly looked at Shu Ran and spoke softly. He looked up at the person standing in the living room with a faint smile on his face.
He was apologizing for driving her away and Shang Qingwen yesterday!
Shu Ran's mind was brought back by his "I'm sorry", and she thought of the deceased Aunt Cui. She was already sour, but when she heard his "I'm sorry" again, she couldn't help but feel even more melancholy, but she didn't express it.
He came out, brought a large plate of fruit with a smile, and picked up an apple carefully. Soon Shu Tongya, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the conversation coming from the living room.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, Shu Xiaoran, but you're still not very good at peeling apples!"
"Are you still picky about eating ready-made food before you've done it?"
"The peeled apple of yours is so unsightly that it's really hard to eat!"
Lack of beauty? This apple is peeled so skillfully!
"Would you like to eat? If not, return it to me!"
"You have the nerve to take it back after taking it out?"
I'm so embarrassed, why am I so embarrassed? Shu Ran was indignant and picked at the apples she peeled for him. Even though he had been sleeping for five years, he still had the ability to speak unforgivingly.
Click, Nie Zhanbai took a big bite of the apple in his hand and handed the apple over. Here, here it is, don’t you want to grab it?
The corners of Shu Ran's mouth were trembling. This guy was just like when he was a child. What he was good at when he was a child was grabbing things, especially her food. As soon as the chopsticks were brought to his mouth, he would lick them with his tongue, and then look at her dumbfounded expression.
Put it back on the plate politely, here, grab it!
Who dares to eat it?
She swore that when she was a child, he would snatch half of the steamed buns with sauce every morning.
It was difficult for Nie Zhanyun to say that she was so hungry and dizzy every time she had not eaten at noon. How did he know that half of the meat buns he bought were eaten by his shameless brother?
She has the skill of eating big buns from the back of a bicycle, but she still saves a few until the end to avoid Nie Zhanbai wandering into her classroom during morning reading time again and shamelessly reaching out to her in front of the whole class, Shu Xiaoran, steamed buns
!
Because of an apple, Shu Ran immediately thought of her miserable student days when she couldn't eat enough breakfast. Thinking about it, it really means eating people with short hands. Nie Zhanbai probably thought that his brother bought the buns, and there was no way she could eat them all by herself.
!
Shu Ran raised her eyebrows, looked at the bitten apple, frowned, but suddenly smiled, raised her hand and patted him on the head, "Eat it, be good!"
Nie Zhanbai narrowed his eyes, looked up at her, and said gloomily, "Shu Xiaoran--"
"Call me sister!" Shu Ran corrected rudely, you're so cute!
Nie Zhanbai almost choked on the apple he had not swallowed, and said with a dark face, "Shu Ran, you are only three months older than me!"
"Every minute you're bigger, you're bigger!" Shu Ran said reluctantly.
Nie Zhanbai glanced at her intently, and the light and shadow in his eyes changed unpredictably. He took the apple back and lowered his eyes with a low smile, "I originally thought I was going to call you sister-in-law, ha--"
His words were an understatement, but they had already broken the pleasant talking atmosphere just now, and Shu Ran's hand holding the fruit plate froze slightly, and with one word he cut off the conversation between the two, until they heard the familiar footsteps at the door.
The sound came, and the heavy feeling on Shu Ran's heart was slightly relieved.
Shang Qingwen and Ran Qidong are here!
The dinner in the evening became a little unnatural because of Zhan Bai's participation. In order to liven up the atmosphere, Ran Qidong chatted with Shang Qingwen about the natural scenery and human geography of Switzerland. Shu Ran and Shang Qingwen stayed in Switzerland for a month.
The interesting things I experienced were also used as conversation topics after dinner.
Nie Zhanbai seemed very quiet throughout the meal. It was after the conversation with Shu Ran in the living room that he became unusually silent. Shu Ran was always paying attention to his abnormality and tried to use chopsticks to pick up food for him. The two of them just now
The conversation unexpectedly touched upon a topic that Shu Ran didn't even want to talk about. Shu Ran felt that Zhan Bai was still a patient, and his recovery was not only physical, but also psychological.
Nie Zhanbai lowered his head and was slightly startled at first, but he calmly finished all the dishes Shu Ran put in the bowl.
Shang Qingwen, who was sitting across from him, moved his eyes slightly. This meal was a bit strange. Nie Zhanbai hadn't said a word to him from the time he entered until now. After dinner, Ran Qidong was going to send Nie Zhanbai back to the hospital. He was there
He had to stay in the hospital for treatment until he recovered. Shang Qingwen helped push Nie Zhanbai downstairs, and he drove him back.
As soon as the people in the living room left, Shu Tongya, who was still sitting at the dining table, looked at Shu Ran, who was holding a bowl with a silent expression. She also remembered the way her son-in-law looked at Nie Zhanbai intentionally or unintentionally during the meal, so she said softly, "You leave him."
Stay away and don't be too nice to him!"
---
Shu Ran was waiting for Shang Qingwen's car downstairs. It was not far from the hospital. Logically speaking, it wouldn't take more than an hour. When his low-key Mercedes-Benz luxury car parked in front of him, Shu Ran opened the door and sniffed.
There was a faint smell of smoke.
Hasn’t Shang Qingwen quit smoking?
Where did this smoke smell come from?
Shu Ran was slightly startled, and when she got into the passenger seat, she took a look at his expression. Shang Qingwen's face was calm, but because the light was dim, she couldn't see clearly his expression at this time. She only felt this quietness.
It made her a little flustered.
Back at the carnival, Shu Ran went into the bedroom to take a bath and saw Shang Qingwen feeding the bird on the balcony of the living room. The parrot was sent to Guan Yang's house before and was raised by Guan Yang for a while. It was just sent back and saw the old parrot.
The owner was particularly enthusiastic. He flapped his wings and shouted "I love you" while jumping up and down to show his loyalty to the owner. Shu Ran was very excited when he heard this. This bird's behavior is bold and open, and sometimes it jumps out.
One sentence is enough to shock someone to death. No wonder Zhang Chenchu said that hairy things are the most rare thing to see, especially this hairy parrot by Shang Qingwen!
The man who was feeding the bird with his back to her had his back straight, and he opened his palm to let the bird peck at his palm. She was about to turn around and go to the kitchen to get some water, when he reached out and took her over, and then there was a sound of wings from the window.
There was a soaring sound, and his kiss came suddenly, and was much more violent than before. Shu Ran was held tightly by him for a while, and she almost fainted due to lack of oxygen. They fell on the soft carpet, breathing heavily.
Shu Ran felt pain all over his body due to the strong muscles on his body. She didn't understand what was wrong with him tonight when she moaned. She heard a rustling sound in her ears and her lips hurt. It was caused by his teeth.
As the bite hurt, I heard the parrot sigh quietly, "Oh, so sour, so sour!"
Well? Sour?
Shu Ran truly experienced the power of acid that night. She was sweating profusely and fell limp under his body. Finally, she fell asleep due to exhaustion. In the soft light, the man's arms surrounded her, and from then on
The roots of his ears slowly curled up and he let out a long, low sigh.
"You just have to be soft-hearted to me!"
