Song Lan was really tired. She lay in the bathtub and didn't want to move.
When she came out again, He Chaozhi had gone to another bathroom to take a shower and was lazily answering the phone in gray silk pajamas.
"Aunt Rong."
Jiang Yurong was He's wife after his name was passed on, and she was also He Chaozhi's stepmother. The two of them had always maintained a polite appearance.
Jiang Yurong called so late just because Shen Yingxue caused trouble to her during the day, so she had to call and ask.
"Chaozhi, I heard that you quarreled with Yingxue again? You even blocked her. You two grew up together, and our families are family friends. It's not appropriate for you to do this."
"Aunt Rong."
He Chaozhi was still laughing, but his tone had obviously become colder, but people who weren't familiar with him couldn't tell.
"The inappropriate person is Shen Yingxue. If she bothers you with such a trivial matter, it shows that she is careless in her actions. She should be taught a lesson."
Although Jiang Yurong was not familiar with He Chaozhi's style of doing things, her greatest skill was to observe his words and emotions, and she immediately understood that He Chaozhi was hinting to her not to meddle in others' affairs.
Jiang Yurong went down the slope.
"That's fine, I won't get involved in your juniors' affairs. I just have to live with it for the sake of face. Otherwise, you will suffer again when the two families get together in a few days."
"I know, Aunt Rong."
After hanging up the phone, the smile on He Chaozhi's face instantly faded away, and then he realized that Song Lan standing aside had something wrong with his expression.
"uncomfortable?"
"No, maybe I just soaked it for a long time."
It had been so long since he heard that woman's voice that Song Lan lost control of his expression.
She didn't want He Chaozhi to notice anything, so she softened her hand and hugged his strong waist.
"Who were you talking to on the phone just now?"
Her rare initiative made He Chaozhi curl up his lips, "My father's second wife."
"So, how is your relationship with her?"
He Chaozhi gave her a strange look. Song Lan was not a very curious person, but he only thought it was because of him, with a calm smile on his lips.
"What? You want to support you by trying to please her? If you have this intention, you might as well just come to please me."
Just as Song Lan was about to retort, his palms felt cold.
He Chaozhi stuffed a card into her hand.
"This is?"
"Can't you see? My secondary card."
Song Lan, "Of course I know it's your secondary card. I'm asking you what do you mean? Are you afraid that I will run away and bribe me with money?"
"It's okay if you think so."
He Chaozhi took her and sat down, saying that it could be compensation or bribery. He just didn't want to see her endure the humiliation and burden for a job like she did today.
"If you don't want it, just give it back to me. There are a lot of women waiting for you out there."
Song Lan avoided his reaching out and quickly put it into the pocket of her bathrobe, "Who said I don't want it anymore? Don't feel bad when I swipe my card later."
"Oh, if you can, you can bankrupt me."
As He Chaozhi spoke, his eyes became irregular again.
Song Lan quickly stopped him, "No, I'm really tired. How about another day?"
He Chaozhi glanced at her unhappily, but he didn't force it.
But that night, Song Lan couldn't sleep for a long time.
Jiang Yurong's voice echoed over and over again in my mind, and tears blurred my vision.
She wanted to ask her why, but her reason told her that she couldn't.
At dawn the next day, Song Lan left He Chaozhi's home and walked around the night city twice before arriving at a nursing home in the suburbs.
As soon as Song Zi came out of the doctor's office, she saw Song Lan walking in a hurry and hurriedly pulled her to the corner.
"Didn't I tell you not to come to the nursing home? Why did you suddenly come here!"
"aunt."
Song Lan choked up a little as soon as she opened her mouth, which shocked Song Zi.
"What's wrong? What happened? Did He Chaozhi discover your identity?"
"No." Maybe it's because I have been suppressing the deepest sadness in my heart for a long time, and once it breaks down, I can't control it.
Song Lan held back her tears, held her arm hard, and supported her aunt with all her strength.
"I heard the woman's voice. She was on the phone with He Chaozhi."
"No wonder."
Song Zi froze, and after a few seconds she relaxed, stroking her head to comfort her.
"It's okay. This day will come sooner or later. Don't tell anyone about this, including your father."
"Okay." Song Lan adjusted her mood, "I want to go see him."
The two came to a ward. Song Zi opened the door and saw a man in his forties or fifties lying motionless on the bed in a warm and bright ward, with tubes inserted all over his body.
Next to him are instruments that monitor various organ failures.
After just one glance, Song Lan couldn't bear to look at it any more.
"I have some money here. I will transfer it to you later. Dad asked my aunt to take care of it."
the other side.
He Chaozhi was in a good mood and was drinking tea with some buddies.
Suddenly, a text message of consumption reminder came from his mobile phone. He glanced at it casually and raised his eyebrows without any trace.
Is this woman going to buy a gold mine? Can she spend so much money in one day?
"Hey, where did this beauty come from? She must have been too cruel."
Gu Yi on the side also saw the text message and wanted to grab his phone, but He Chaozhi quickly stopped him.
"If you don't want to die, put your phone down for me."
Gu Yi's hand was held tightly by him and he couldn't move even if he wanted to. He rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"I won't move, please let go quickly, my hand is about to break."
"Huh? Who are you?"
Gu Yi screamed in pain, "You are my young master. I was wrong. I was really wrong. Please let go."
Only then did He Chaozhi let go.
Gu Yi felt aggrieved while rubbing her hands, "Who are you? Even if I spend so much money on you, you still protect her like this?"
He Chaozhi was talking nonsense seriously, "You're overthinking it. I recently got a cat, which is a bit of a waste of food."
Gu Yi looked like you were going to continue to brag, "Then this cat must be a beautiful woman to be able to captivate you."
He Chaozhi thought about it and realized that Song Lan was indeed a great beauty. He had seen so many women, but few were more beautiful than her.
Gu Yi knew that he had guessed correctly as soon as he saw the look in his eyes. Just as he was about to make a joke, He Chaozhi stood up first and said, "I'm bored, go to the door to get some fresh air."
When no one was around, he turned to Song Lan's WeChat account and realized that the last message he sent her had not been replied to yet.
After a pause, He Chaozhi laughed angrily.
"let's have dinner tonight?"
When the news was sent out, it was like a stone sinking into the sea.
At this time, as soon as Song Lan arrived at Shen Yingxue's office, a pile of manuscripts was thrown at her.
"Song Lan, please explain to me what's going on in your interview?"
