Zhou Tianlei sat on a stool in the office, lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, threw the match on the table, leaned back on the chair, and took a puff.
At this time, the door opened, and Cheng Xiang appeared at the door with worry in his eyes.
Zhou Tianlei raised his lips and smiled: "Why are you here?"
Cheng Xiang looked at his calm expression and asked, "Did you... fight with someone?"
Zhou Tianlei put out the cigarette in his hand, smiled and said in a deep voice: "Come here."
Cheng Xiang walked to him, saw the blood on his hands, and exclaimed: "Are you injured? Zhong Liang is here, I'll call him."
Zhou Tianlei reached out and grabbed Cheng Xiang's arm, pulled her back and sat on his lap: "It's not my blood."
He casually wiped the blood off his pants.
Cheng Xiang looked at his face carefully and saw that he was indeed safe. She breathed a sigh of relief. She also knew that Duan Tianrui's thin dog couldn't hurt him at all.
Zhou Tianlei held her waist with his big hands, raised his face and asked softly: "Why didn't you tell me?"
"What?" Cheng Xiang was confused for a moment, and then he understood and said, "Oh, it's actually nothing. I kicked him and let the dog bite him."
Cheng Xiang said with a little pride on his face.
Thinking of her being harassed by such a scoundrel, the fire in Zhou Tianlei's heart was harder to suppress than AK, and when he saw her, his heart softened into a puddle of water.
He reached out and pinched her face and said, "If you have anything to do in the future, tell me. I am your man and you can rely on her."
Cheng Xiang felt warm in his heart and said, "I know, of course you can be relied on."
As she spoke, she held his face and kissed him on the forehead.
Zhou Tianlei's big hand holding her waist suddenly pushed her into his arms and said in a deep voice: "Are you leaving?"
Cheng Xiang's face instantly turned red, he hesitated, and remained speechless. Zhou Tianlei raised his lips and smiled softly, burying his face in her chest and rubbing it.
At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open: "Brother Lei... Oops." Zhou He saw such a scene in the room and quickly turned around: "Sorry, sorry,"
Cheng Xiang stood up from Zhou Tianlei's lap, straightened his clothes, and glanced at him angrily.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Tianlei asked.
Zhou He turned around this time and said, "Someone is coming from town to talk about building a branch factory."
"I know." Zhou Tianlei stood up.
He led Cheng Xiang to Zhong Liang and said, "Can you please help me send her back."
Zhong Liang nodded: "Don't worry."
Zhou Tianlei rubbed Cheng Xiang's hair and said, "Go home and wait for me."
Zhong Liang sent Cheng Xiang home and returned to the city.
In the afternoon, Cheng Xiang stood in the kitchen, staring at a pile of pig offal in a basin in a daze.
Pig heart, liver, and kidney. She suddenly wanted to eat braised pork a while ago, so she asked Zhou Tianlei for these offal.
These are collectively called "water" in the north.
In the eyes of foreigners, these things are dirty, inedible, and must be thrown away.
But China’s food culture is extensive and profound. There is nothing that cannot be eaten from pigs, cattle, and sheep, especially the offal. Northerners can braise it, and southerners can make soup. Pig tripe soup, pig lung soup, mixed with medicinal materials, are nourishing and nourishing. , are all good things.
So Cheng Xiang has always felt that foreigners are not offal, maybe because they really can't make anything delicious.
Looking at this basin of internal organs, Cheng Xiang thought about how to deal with them.
Want some stir-fried kidneys? Stir-fried leek and pork liver? Stew yam and pork belly soup, stir-fry pork heart, spicy pork lung? Wow, my mouth is watering just thinking about it.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the sound of Qing'er talking to someone outside.
When I went out, I saw Zhang Lin, squatting at the door talking to Qing'er with a bright smile.
Why is she here? Cheng Xiang was confused.
Zhang Lin saw her walking straight in: "Hello, sorry for bothering you."
We are always guests, even if they are uninvited guests.
Cheng wanted to bring her into the living room.
Zhang Lin looked around the clean and tidy living room and nodded silently. Sure enough, the princess still maintained her appearance even though she was living in the countryside.
Cheng Xiang poured a cup of tea for Zhang Lin.
Although the two of them had a head-on confrontation in the original book, it was a confrontation between the principal wife and the mistress, and it ended in Cheng Xiang's disastrous defeat.
But the changes now have changed the fate of both of them. Cheng Xiang didn't know the purpose of her coming to her, nor did he know in what capacity they met this time.
Zhang Lin took a sip of tea and said, "I heard that Gu Minglang is dating another daughter of the Cheng family?"
Cheng Xiang raised his eyebrows, what's the matter, are you here to spy on the enemy? She shook her head indifferently: "I don't know."
Zhang Lin was slightly startled and smiled slightly: "You don't have to be so defensive about me. Gu Minglang and I have nothing to do with each other now."
Cheng Xiangxiao: "What is your relationship with Gu Minglang? It has nothing to do with me." As for your future involvement with Gu Minglang, Cheng Ningning was worried about it at that time.
Zhang Lin nodded: "I heard that Duan Tianrui harassed you and was beaten by your man?"
"Do you know him?" Cheng wanted to ask.
Zhang Lin said: "I came back from Shenzhen City with him. He is well-known as a young man in Shenzhen City. He relies on his father to have some influence and is arrogant and arrogant. This time it was also because of a woman who got into trouble and was beaten by his father. Sent to Dongshi."
"Yes, my husband beat him, why are you here to seek justice for him?" Cheng Xiang looked at her with a twinkle in his eye.
Zhang Lin smiled lightly: "He is not a good person and deserves to be beaten."
A trace of surprise flashed in Cheng Xiang's eyes: "He is your financial sponsor. Do you not care about his life or death so much?"
Zhang Lin smiled disdainfully: "He's just a loser with nothing but appearances. If his father wasn't a bit powerful, he would have no value to me."
Sure enough, it's her character.
Gu Minglang and Duan Tianrui talked about each other, but Cheng Xiang didn't understand the real purpose of her coming to him.
"You didn't make a special trip to chat with me to relieve your boredom, right?" Cheng Xiang asked, it seems that we don't have that kind of friendship.
Zhang Lin stared at Cheng and thought: "I think you seem to be hostile to me. It shouldn't be because of Gu Minglang, right? You don't like him. Is it because another daughter of the Cheng family is wary of me?"
Cheng wanted to agree with what Zhang Lin said. She was indeed hostile to her. It was true that they had no grudges in this life. Maybe this hostility came from the subconscious instinct of the original owner?
Or do you know her life experience and don't approve of her behavior? But what does it have to do with myself?
Cheng Xiang smiled to himself and said, "I have no hostility towards you. You didn't come to my house to eliminate my hostility. You want to be friends with me, right?"
Zhang Lin's eyes darkened, and she hesitated for a moment before saying, "I came to you to ask about Xin Chen."
"Xin Chen?"
"Are you friends?" Zhang Lin asked.
"Is it related to you?" Cheng Xiang felt that this woman was a little confused.
"Can you tell me if there is something wrong with his body?" Zhang Lin looked solemn.
"This is his private matter, I can't tell you." Cheng Xiang refused coldly.
A trace of emotion flashed in Zhang Lin's eyes: "I have no ill intentions towards Xin Chen. His doctor is your friend, isn't he? I just want to know what's wrong with his body and see if I can help."
Cheng Xiang tightened her lips and said nothing. She really couldn't understand this woman's intention.
