Zhang Ling was shocked when she heard Lao Liu's story.
Lao Zhou, who was with Lao Liu, had completely passed away due to an accidental falling object from a height.
Now all that is left is a miserable old Liu scavenging for a living.
She didn't expect Li Xi and Shangguan Aoxue to be so vicious!
Two innocent old people were forced into this situation.
Now only one person is left living a miserable life.
To be honest, Zhang Ling sympathized very much with Lao Liu's experience.
However, she is not a contemporary savior.
In addition, Li Xi's secret methods became more and more cruel.
I'm worried that Lao Liu's appearance here is another shady conspiracy of Li Xi's.
For the safety of his father and Xiaodouzi.
She really didn't want to get involved with Lao Liu anymore.
But Lao Liu knelt on the ground in front of many passers-by.
It was hard for her to leave for a while.
This is how to do ah?
Just when Zhang Ling was worried.
I saw a handsome man in a suit walking out of the crowd of onlookers.
He stood in front of Zhang Ling and asked with confusion:
"Vice President Zhang, what a coincidence! Li Xiang is not with you today! I heard that your relationship is very good. I just don't know when I can drink your wedding wine?"
Being recognized by an acquaintance in this embarrassing situation.
She really doesn't want to admit that she is Zhang Ling.
However, he couldn't resist the extreme enthusiasm of the handsome man.
Zhang Ling is embarrassed even if she doesn't want to admit it.
So she could only force herself to smile and say:
"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Liu. What a coincidence! Why do you appear here?"
She didn't want to create some negative news for Li Xiang because of herself.
So I could only deliberately avoid some of Liu Lu’s questions.
Liu Lu looked at Zhang Ling and said with a smile:
"Oh, there's something wrong with the hotel's wine supplier. I just came back from a business trip."
fortunately!
Liu Lu is not an inquiring person.
Zhang Ling said flatteringly:
"Mr. Liu really has a lot of things to do and does his job very well! If you are busy, go ahead and do it first. I don't dare to delay you..."
She tried to use this method to urge Liu Lu to leave as soon as possible.
Liu Lu was very curious about Zhang Ling's current situation.
I have to become one of today’s melon-eaters.
He glanced at Lao Liu with disgust, shook his head and said:
"No hurry, no hurry. I think Vice President Zhang has encountered a little trouble here. If it's not convenient for you to handle it yourself, I'm willing to help you."
Liu Lu secretly thought that Zhang Ling was cheated by a beggar.
It was difficult to escape for a while.
He wanted to use this matter to please Li Xiang.
So that Li Xiang can come up with another valuable idea for the operation and management of his hotel.
Because he can currently sit in the position of hotel manager.
I remember that Li Xiang proposed a set of advanced hotel management methods for him.
The hotel's revenue doubled.
So Liu Lu, who has tasted the sweetness, has been looking for an opportunity.
Trying to get Li Xiang to come up with another idea for him that could lead to promotion.
Zhang Ling is grateful for Liu Lu's enthusiasm.
She glanced at Lao Liu who was kneeling on the ground.
Old Liu guessed Zhang Ling's thoughts.
Before Zhang Ling could speak, she tugged at the corner of her clothes and cried like an aggrieved child, saying she didn't agree.
Lao Liu's reaction made Zhang Ling even more embarrassed in front of Liu Lu.
Liu Lu is worthy of being a hotel manager who deals with different guests every day.
I saw Zhang Ling's dilemma.
And Lao Liu’s little tricks to embarrass Zhang Ling.
So Liu Lu is willing to take the initiative to be a villain for Zhang Ling.
He stepped forward with a fierce face, pulled up Lao Liu who was kneeling on the ground, then pulled him aside and scolded:
"Hey, sir, you are already old. You are kneeling down to a junior in front of such a person. You are not embarrassed, I am embarrassed. It is embarrassing for us as men."
At first glance, Liu Lu's words sounded like male chauvinism.
But if you think about it carefully, this person still has a kind of backbone.
It is similar to having gold at the knees of a man.
Many people in modern times may interpret the fact that a man has gold under his knees as a shortcoming of feudal ethics.
But Zhang Ling thinks this is a kind of spirit.
A kind of unyielding spirit as a man, and the spirit of not bowing to evil and evil.
in comparison.
It ranges from TV variety shows to short videos on mobile phones.
We often see a kind of soul torture plot.
The host asked:
"If a stranger asked you to kowtow to a stranger for a hundred dollars, would you choose to kowtow to the stranger?"
Faced with such a problem.
I believe that most people will sneer and say "unwilling".
But here comes the problem.
Then the money given by this stranger is one thousand yuan, ten thousand yuan, one hundred thousand yuan...
The amount gradually becomes larger and larger.
How many people can resist the temptation to kneel down and kowtow?
Contemporary popular social phenomena similar to the above plot.
For example, many people make money by watching videos, making money by reading novels, etc.
Gradually, a group of people were cultivated who took advantage of small things, got something for nothing, and lived a lazy life.
If people with the above thoughts gradually become the mainstream of society.
Then the idea of kneeling for money will sooner or later become the mainstream of society.
Then, behaviors such as erecting memorial tablets to war criminals in temples and selling the country for money will become more and more rampant.
Therefore, men in today's society can always remember that it is most valuable for men to have gold at their knees.
Liu Lu's words made Old Liu's old face blush a little.
Doesn’t Old Liu know that his behavior is too embarrassing?
It's just that he knows in his heart that if he doesn't do this, he will.
I'm afraid he will die in an accident just like Lao Zhou who passed away unexpectedly.
Lao Liu did not completely see through the world of mortals and looked down upon life and death.
He also wants to enjoy a few more years of family happiness.
So that he can continue to live well.
Why not wipe his old face off and throw it away?
So Lao Liu shouted at Liu Lu with a serious face:
"Who are you? I'm here to ask Miss Zhang Ling for help. What does it have to do with you? Why are you meddling in other people's business? Get away from me."
In order to survive smoothly, Lao Liu.
Even though Liu Lu looked mighty and strong.
He must fight without fear today.
Liu Lu didn't expect that the old man in front of him was as powerful as him.
Zhang Ling saw that Liu Lu was a little stunned by Old Liu's words.
If she really wanted to ask Liu Lu to help her out.
Then we must find some face for Liu Lu.
So Zhang Ling scolded Lao Liu for being rude to her friend.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He also suggested that Lao Liu Ruo not apologize to Liu Lu in person.
She will never get involved in his Lao Liu's affairs again.
That's what it says.
But Zhang Ling knew it in her heart.
This matter is probably related to Li Xiang.
She felt a little guilty towards Li Xiang.
After all, during her relationship with Li Xiang, she always received all kinds of care and help from Li Xiang.
So I want to help Li to deal with Lao Liu's affairs.
It can be regarded as eliminating a little bit of guilt towards Li Xiang.
Lao Liu heard that Zhang Ling finally made her position clear.
Thinking that as long as he can finally reunite with his family.
Why not listen to Zhang Ling and apologize to Liu Lu?
Losing face is better than losing his life.
So Lao Liu really stood in front of Liu Lu seriously and was ready to apologize.
Only then did Liu Lu realize that Zhang Ling and Lao Liu were old acquaintances.
Lao Liu is not some stinky beggar who specializes in porcelain.
How dare Liu Lu easily watch Old Liu apologize to a junior like him?
No, it cannot.
If he really did this.
Maybe he offended Zhang Ling unintentionally.
The importance of Zhang Ling to Li Xiang.
Liu Lu knew it most clearly.
So he changed his previous contemptuous and indifferent attitude towards Lao Liu.
He took the initiative to put on a professional smile and stepped forward to stop Lao Liu from apologizing.
He also took the initiative to explain to Zhang Ling that an apology was not necessary.
He even told Lao Liu that he did not know that he knew Zhang Ling.
He apologized and said that his previous behavior and attitude were really bad.
He also took the initiative to seek Lao Liu's understanding.
To be honest, Lao Liu hasn't felt respected by others for a long time.
For this reason, Lao Liu believed that Liu Lu was a good and trustworthy person.
Maybe it's because the two of them are from the same family who can't write the character "Liu" twice in one stroke.
Lao Liu learned that Liu Lu was also named Liu.
So his attitude towards Liu Lu also changed 180°.
He also felt guilty for his previous attitude towards Liu Lu.
Zhang Ling looked at the humble excuses of the two people named Liu.
She was a little confused and thought that they were directly related by blood.
However, this is also good!
At least Lao Liu had basic trust in Liu Lu.
If she gave Liu Lu the task of sending Old Liu home.
Presumably Lao Liu would not refuse.
Now she has another worry.
Worried that when Liu Lu sent Lao Liu home, Lao Liu kept talking about the reason why he was being held hostage.
So it would be bad to involve Li Xiang again.
Therefore, before asking Liu Lu to send Old Liu off, he must take good care of Old Liu in advance.
Let Lao Liu understand what should be said?
You can't say anything to anyone.
Even if Liu Lu is a member of his family who can't write a single word, he can't.
fine!
Lao Liu was still willing to listen to Zhang Ling's concern.
Because this time Lao Liu really learned what it means to have trouble come from the mouth.
That's why he got to where he is now in Wuchuan.
It has even cost Lao Zhou his life.
Therefore, Lao Liu secretly swore long ago:
From now on, I will no longer talk nonsense.
Zhang Ling watched Old Liu follow Liu Lu away with confidence.
She was about to turn around and leave.
When she turned around, she saw Li Xiang standing in front of her.
He said with a somewhat shy smile:
"you are back!"
Zhang Ling said "hmm".
Li wanted to say:
"Why didn't you tell me in advance? So I could bring Xiaodouzi to pick you up in advance. You don't know that this child has been clamoring to pick you up for a long time. Now he can't pick you up. I'm afraid he will cry again.
Already."
Zhang Ling was listening to Li Xiang chatting about trivial household matters.
Looking at Li Xiang, it was as if he had been reborn after a disaster and felt very warm.
There are countless things in my heart that I want to talk about.
But when the words came to her lips, she didn't know in what capacity she would say them.
Because she remembered that she had broken up with Li Xiang.
So I had to swallow it hard.
She asked with a bit of stubbornness:
"Why are you here? Oh, Liu Lu must have told you, right?"
Li Xiang has no intention of betraying his friends.
Although this fact is already obvious.
He still said with an awkward smile:
"I came to pick you up because of Xiaodouzi's longing for you. Why are you unhappy? Then I can only tell Xiaodouzi the truth."
He knew that besides her father Zhang Pengtian, Zhang Ling cared most about Xiaodouzi.
Naturally, it is impossible to hope that Xiaodouzi will be sad because of this.
So Li's trick of changing the topic was so clever that even he himself thought it was so clever.
Zhang Ling really couldn't say anything.
She compromised and stopped asking questions, stopping Li Xiang from pretending to make a phone call.
However, she regretted it as soon as she stopped Li Xiang.
Because this time is Xiaodouzi’s class time.
How could Li Xiang actually make a phone call?
Especially when I saw a proud smile on his face.
Only then did she feel that she had been fooled!
Apparently her IQ was lowered because of the negative emotions caused by the cabin fire.
Zhang Ling raised her hand angrily, intending to slap Li Xiang and said:
"Hey, Li Xiang, don't you want to have a good life? How dare you scare me with such a thing!"
Li Xiang never thought about being beaten by Zhang Ling for no reason.
So he shrewdly hid aside and said with a smile:
"Can you blame me for this? You are Xiaodouzi's mother after all. You don't even know when Xiaodouzi goes to school. You were not like this before."
Zhang Ling tried to explain.
But I don’t know how to explain it?
Too much has happened these days.
Even she herself hasn't fully digested it yet.
So I just hesitated to say the word "I".
He stared at Zhang Ling with worried eyes and said:
"You look bad. Can you tell me what happened?"
certainly!
For Li Xiang, this was everything he already knew.
Just asking now.
The purpose is to see how he stands in Zhang Ling's heart?
If Zhang Ling is still willing to mention what happened recently to him.
This shows that Zhang Ling does not completely regard him as an insignificant stranger in her heart.
Zhang Ling heard Li Xiang's questioning.
She seemed to have returned to the shocking fire scene in an instant.
Especially the scene of Cheng Jing rushing into the sea of fire in front of her eyes kept replaying in her mind.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It turned out that Cheng Jing did not make any sound at all after rushing into the sea of fire.
All you could hear was the sound of fire burning wood.
But at this moment, Cheng Jing's voice calling for "help" kept echoing in her mind.
This tragic sound made her yell with pain on her face, "Don't come to me."
Zhang Ling's reaction attracted the attention of many passers-by.
Everyone began to whisper and accuse Li Xiangchuan of looking like a dog.
I didn’t expect that I would be able to stalk a woman on the street.
Li Xiang smiled bitterly and was about to explain himself.
Zhang Ling covered her ears with her hands and shouted again in front of everyone:
"You rushed into the fire yourself. Please don't come to me..."
Zhang Ling's abnormal shouting again made everyone present who criticized Li Xiang leave sadly.
No one wanted to apologize to Li.
What happened to this world?
Why are there always so many people hurting others without thinking?
After being hurt, he left quietly without any guilt.
fine!
Li Xiang's heart is strong enough.
I generally don’t pay much attention to the voices of these passers-by.
Currently he only has Zhang Ling in his heart.
So when Zhang Ling was about to collapse emotionally, she quickly stepped forward and hugged her tightly.
No matter how exposed Zhang Ling was, she pushed him away.
He didn't even say "it hurts" and continued to hold Zhang Ling and not let go.
He kept saying softly and comfortingly in his ear:
"Forget it, we don't want to think about it anymore. That's all in the past. Zhang Ling, Zhang Ling, listen to me. Please don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt you..."
The sentence "I am here" seems to carry a sacred and inviolable power.
Zhang Ling was instantly pulled out of the entanglement of evil memories in her mind.
Zhang Ling woke up and looked at Li Xiang holding her tightly.
There were obvious blood marks on his neck from fingernail scratches.
The clothes were messy, especially the fabric on the back, which seemed to have been torn out by a prehistoric force like door curtains.
In the gaps between the cloth strips, you can see little bits of blood oozing out from Li Xiang's white shirt like stars.
Apparently his back was injured because of her.
Zhang Ling choked with sobs and asked in Li Xiang's ear:
"Are you okay? Right..."
Li Xiang guessed Zhang Ling's intention.
He quickly stopped him and said:
"Zhang Ling, don't talk like that. As long as it's for you, I'll be willing to do anything."
