Chapter 28: Ms. Xie, drinking is not good for children
The next day, Shen Lei was still hungover, and Shen Lin's family had already finished breakfast and were getting ready to go to school and work.
"Mom, when Shen Lei wakes up, don't let him go yet. Wait until Na Wei comes back."
Before leaving, Shen Lin did not forget to give her instructions.
"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on him. You can go to work with peace of mind."
Na Wei drove his daughter Yueyue to school first, and then rushed all the way to the company every day.
On the way, Na Wei saw Shen Lin's face full of sadness, so he comforted her: "Honey, don't worry too much. Xie Meilan may just be in a bad mood after her mother died, and she may not divorce your brother."
Shen Lin stared at Na Wei: "Husband, I think you were right last night. Xie Meilan's attitude towards Shen Lei suddenly changed. Maybe she has found a new wife."
"Ah? Did I tell you that Xie Meilan was looking for a new home?" Na Wei looked confused.
Shen Lin rolled her eyes at her husband: "I would rather believe it or not. I have to talk to Xie Meilan."
"This...the matter between the couple, shouldn't we interfere?" Na Wei hesitated.
Shen Lin snorted softly: "Shen Lei is too honest. If I didn't intervene, he would have been bullied to death. Okay, you go back first. I have an appointment with Xie Meilan tonight, and I may not eat at home."
Upon seeing this, Na Wei had no choice but to drive home.
In the elevator, Shen Lin happened to meet Qin Hao and Li Xiaoyue coming up from the underground floor.
"Mr. Qin, good morning, Manager Li."
"Morning." Qin Hao replied casually.
Li Xiaoyue smiled energetically at Shen Lin.
At this moment, Shen Lin finally knew why Qin Hao was friends with Li Xiaoyue. Who wouldn't like such a cheerful and energetic girl?
After returning to her workstation, Shen Lin hesitated and sent a message to Xie Meilan.
As a result, Xie Meilan didn't come back until she was about to get off work at noon.
"Sister, I'm sorry, I've been in a meeting this morning and I just saw the message. We have to work overtime tonight, so I'm afraid I won't be able to go shopping with you."
Shen Lin thought for a while: "It's okay, work is important, what about tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow, I don't know yet. Anyway, we have been very busy recently. Sister, what can I do for you?"
"It's nothing particularly important. Don't work too hard. Your health is important."
After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, they became silent.
Shen Lin frowned when she read the message from Xie Meilan. She had seen Xie Meilan blame all the resentment for her mother's death on her younger brother. She felt that Xie Meilan had deep feelings for her mother. Later, Xie Meilan wanted to buy a cemetery worth 388,000 yuan to bury her mother. , seems to confirm this.
However, judging from Xie Meilan's current performance, Shen Lin feels that Xie Meilan's feelings for her mother are not that deep. Otherwise, her mother's bones are still cold and she has not been laid to rest. If it were her, she would definitely not be able to concentrate on her work. .
For the whole day, Shen Lin couldn't concentrate very well. She kept recalling Xie Meilan's various behaviors in her mind. A woman's sixth sense told her that there was something wrong with Xie Meilan.
Just before leaving get off work, Shen Lin suddenly had an idea: go to Xie Meilan's company.
At first, Shen Lin was shocked by her bold idea, but when she thought about her brother Shen Lei's lifelong happiness, she decided to become Sherlock Holmes again.
So, just after getting off work, Shen Lin couldn't wait to clock in and rush to the elevator, and then went downstairs at a very fast speed. The online car-hailing car was already waiting downstairs.
Almost half an hour later, the online taxi stopped in front of an office building.
Shen Lin looked around and came to a coffee shop directly opposite the office building and found a seat by the window. Not only could she see the lobby of the office building, but she could also see the exit of the underground garage clearly.
Not long after Shen Lin sat down, she saw a Land Rover drive out of the underground garage. She didn't see the driver clearly, but the person in the co-pilot was definitely Xie Meilan, and she would never be mistaken.
When Shen Lin saw this, she quickly ran out of the coffee shop. There happened to be a traffic jam at the entrance of the office building. The Land Rover didn't go far, so Shen Lin ignored the curses of the other two passengers and got into the back seat of a taxi.
"Master, help me follow the Land Rover in front."
The taxi driver looked at Shen Lin in the rearview mirror, and suddenly the fire of gossip burned brightly.
"Sister, is your husband the one driving the Land Rover in front?"
Shen Lin hesitated for a moment and nodded.
When the driver heard this, he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, sister, I will keep an eye on him for you."
"This rich man doesn't know how to cherish his blessings. A big girl with such a figure and temperament is still messing around outside. It's so damn irritating."
When the traffic in front started to move slowly, the driver shouted: "Sister, sit still."
Then the taxi darted out, changing lanes left and right in the crowded traffic, quickly closing the distance between it and the Land Rover.
Shen Lin didn't get out of the taxi until the Land Rover entered the underground parking lot of the Bulgari Hotel.
"Sister, you are alone in arresting me. Do you want me to call a few people for you to support the scene? I'll give you three hundred per person."
Shen Lin dropped the 100 yuan fare and said, "No need to change it."
Then he quickly ran to the hall.
As soon as she arrived in the lobby, Shen Lin almost ran into Xie Meilan head-on. Fortunately, she turned her back cleverly, but in the moment of passing by, she could clearly see the appearance of the person next to Xie Meilan.
Wearing a crisp suit, he looks to be in his forties, wearing a mechanical watch worth millions on his hand, and looks like an elite man.
However, what surprised Shen Lin was that Xie Meilan and her husband did not go to the front desk to check in, but instead walked to the conference hall nearby.
Just when Shen Lin was about to follow and continue to observe, she was stopped by the hotel attendant, who said that she needed to verify the invitation letter before entering.
Shen Lin was extremely anxious, but she didn't have an invitation. Just when she was at a loss what to do, she happened to run into Li Xiaoyue walking from the hall holding Qin Hao's arm.
"Hey, Sister Shen Lin, are you coming to the dinner party too?"
Li Xiaoyue's words made Shen Lin a little embarrassed, but now she was eager to find out the relationship between Xie Meilan and that man, so she had no choice but to risk it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Mr. Qin, are you also here for the dinner?"
Before Qin Hao opened his mouth, Li Xiaoyue sent an invitation to Shen Lin: "Sister Shen Lin, what a coincidence, let's go in together. I'm worried that it will be too boring for a while and there won't even be anyone to talk to."
After the hotel attendant verified Qin Hao's electronic invitation, they and Shen Lin went in.
It was Shen Lin's first time to attend such a high-end dinner. Not to mention Na Wei, even Wang Ruizhi was not qualified to attend such a dinner. However, Shen Lin was just stunned for a short time and immediately remembered her mission, so she and Qin Hao After Li Xiaoyue said hello, she continued to look for Xie Meilan and the man.
Seeing Shen Lin's sneaky look, Li Xiaoyue lowered her voice and said to Qin Hao: "What is Sister Shen Lin doing?"
"Who knows, maybe they are here to catch someone raping someone." Qin Hao said casually.
Li Xiaoyue opened her mouth wide: "No way? Then is it always here?"
"You are such a gossip, you should not be a planner, you should be a paparazzi."
"Hmph, what did you say?" Li Xiaoyue pinched the soft flesh of Qin Hao's waist with her fingers.
Qin Hao had no choice but to surrender. Just at this time, a colleague came over to say hello, and Li Xiaoyue let go of his hand.
At the same time, Xie Meilan has been following Lu Jie, but she has not had close physical contact with Lu Jie and has always maintained a physical distance.
Business dinners are actually quite boring. Most people focus on making connections, and Lu Jie is no exception. In the beginning, he could even introduce Xie Meilan to meet some people, but after he became immersed in chatting with his colleagues, he no longer cared about her. Already.
Xie Meilan could only hold the wine glass and act as a vase, but seeing Lu Jie playing both ways and talking to those successful people about the cutting-edge technology of the times and the central bank's financial policies made her yearn for the upper class society even more.
In Xie Meilan's opinion, this is the circle she should integrate into, instead of living in a small rented house after get off work every day. She has wasted her youth for ten years, and she does not want to live such a life without hope anymore.
While Xie Meilan was stunned, Lu Jie walked over to her.
"Let's go over there and say hello."
Xie Meilan looked in the direction of Lu Jie's finger and found a group of people surrounding Qin Hao like stars holding a moon in their arms. Even Li Xiaoyue became the most dazzling one among the female guests. Xie Meilan suddenly felt unconvinced, and Li Xiaoyue looked just like She is younger, and in terms of appearance and temperament, she is as confident as her opponent. Why can she easily live the life of an upper class person?
"good."
Lu Jie got closer to Xie Meilan intentionally or unintentionally. This time, Xie Meilan did not deliberately keep the distance, and their shoulders almost touched.
This scene was also seen by Shen Lin and secretly filmed it.
However, Shen Lin also knew that such photos did not prove Xie Meilan's cheating, so she did not send them directly to her brother Shen Lei, but continued to observe.
At the same time, Lu Jie and Xie Meilan squeezed into the crowd.
"Mr. Qin, we meet again."
"Yes, Mr. Lu came very early."
Qin Hao responded with a smile.
However, what neither Lu Jie nor Xie Meilan expected was that Qin Hao suddenly stepped forward and took the wine glass from Xie Meilan's hand, and then called the waiter.
"Give this lady a glass of orange juice."
Everyone around was confused.
Lu Jie and Xie Meilan were also a little confused.
"Mr. Qin, what is this..." Lu Jie asked doubtfully.
Qin Hao gave Xie Meilan a playful smile: "Ms. Xie, drinking alcohol is not good for children. Orange juice is more suitable for you."
In an instant, Lu Jie's face became very ugly.
The people around him looked at him with ambiguity. In their opinion, the child in Xie Meilan's belly must be Lu Jie's.
Xie Meilan was also stunned, and she forced a smile.
"Mr. Qin, stop joking."
Qin Hao had a surprised look on his face: "Don't you know you're pregnant?"
When the people around him heard this, the flames of gossip ignited, and some people shouted.
"Mr. Qin, no one knows that she is pregnant, how did you know?"
Maybe it's the noisy place here that attracts more and more people.
The expression on Lu Jie's face was even more ugly. On the one hand, he knew very well that he and Xie Meilan had never had a relationship at all. The child could only be her husband Shen Lei's. On the other hand, he had a family and was just playing outside. It's okay to play, but once his wife misunderstands that he has a child outside, things will get into trouble.
Qin Hao had an enigmatic smile on his face: "I have always been interested in Chinese medicine before, and I have learned a little bit about it. Judging from Ms. Xie's condition, she should be less than three months pregnant. Of course, I am just guessing. I have to find out more The diagnosis can only be confirmed by hospital examination.”
Facing the curious, suspicious and ambiguous looks from the people around her, Xie Meilan's face turned pale and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
"Mr. Qin, are you a little too arbitrary to tell that this lady is pregnant without checking her pulse? Why don't you check for us and see if there are any problems?"
Someone started making noises, which immediately aroused the interest of the people around him.
Qin Hao didn't refuse, he stepped forward and put his fingers on the opponent's left wrist.
"Open your mouth."
"Ah~~~"
"Have you been feeling particularly tired recently, with bloating and nausea when you get up in the morning and brush your teeth?"
The other party's face was full of surprise: "Yes, it's been more than half a year."
Qin Hao patted the other party's slightly bulging belly: "Brother, from now on, eat less greasy food and drink as little wine as possible. You have liver and gallbladder dampness and heat. It's best to find an old Chinese doctor to prescribe a nourishing prescription. It will take two or three months to nurse him back to health, but if it is delayed for too long, the condition will become worse and it will be difficult to deal with."
"Thank you, Mr. Qin. I will see a Chinese medicine doctor later."
When people around him saw that Qin Hao's words were reasonable and accurate, they immediately had no doubts about his diagnosis.
"Mr. Qin, why don't you help me look after you if you are affected? I haven't been able to sleep well recently. I have nightmares and night sweats every time I close my eyes."
"Check it out for me first. Mr. Qin, I often have inexplicable pain in my waist. It's okay to go to the hospital to take X-rays."
Qin Hao did not refuse and took their pulses one by one. Suddenly, the dinner turned into a traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
When Lu Jie and Xie Meilan saw that everyone's attention had shifted to Qin Hao, they quietly left with a tacit understanding.
Shen Lin ignored the excitement and hurriedly followed.
Following Xie Meilan all the way back home, Shen Lin was relieved that Lu Jie didn't get up, put Xie Meilan down and drove away.
When Shen Lin returned home dragging her exhausted body, Shen Lei had drunk a lot of wine and was in a tipsy state.
"You still have the heart to drink. If you keep drinking like this, your wife will run away with you." Shen Lei shouted with hatred.
Shen Lei was so excited that he almost fell off the chair, but Na Wei quickly helped him up.
"Sister, what did you say? What's wrong with my wife?"
Shen Lin felt a little regretful for a moment. She had no evidence, and judging from the behavior of Xie Meilan and Lu Jie, there should be no actual betrayal.
"I said, you don't even know your wife is pregnant, yet you are still drinking here."
Na Wei looked at Shen Lin in surprise: "Xie Meilan is pregnant? How did you know?"
"I've been Sherlock Holmes all night, it's easy for me." Shen Lin said angrily.
Shen Lei giggled for a while: "My wife is pregnant, and I have a child?"
Then, Shen Lei made a fuss about going home. Shen Lin felt that if Xie Meilan saw Shen Lei like this, the relationship would be worse, so she could only ask Na Wei to keep Shen Lei and wait until tomorrow.
