Two days later.
Wang Manni took her afternoon off, and when she was halfway through her sleep, she heard a knock on the door. She straightened her pajamas and went to open the door. A courier in overalls handed over two handbags.
"It must be Miss Wang Manni, this is your gift."
She signed her name on the express delivery note, said thank you, and returned to the house with her handbag.
I haven’t bought anything online recently. What’s going on with this express delivery?
She took out the box from her handbag and opened it to see a pair of high-heeled shoes decorated with carrot dice and a pair of RC high-heeled sandals with ankle straps.
There is a gift card at the bottom of the handbag, with a line of handwritten Chinese characters on it: "I hope you can wear it casually, wear it without feeling distressed, and no longer need to put rubber on the soles of your shoes." --- On the Mediterranean Splendor, Liang Zhengxian once I have said that women who dine in the yacht club’s exclusive restaurants never wear rubber soles under their high heels.
To be honest, the handwriting wasn't very pretty, but she smiled and couldn't put it down, playing with the two pairs of shoes.
…
Bj time is 8pm.
hk Central.
noc roastery cafe.
The black and white themed decoration style is very stylish, with spotless tableware on the counter, beautifully packaged coffee beans in the cabinet grid at the back, a small flower pot at the angle between the window and the wall, and a handwritten note on the umbrella bucket near the door. Above it is a line of beautiful characters - the most thoughtful tenderness to you who forgot to bring an umbrella on a rainy day, followed by a smiley face symbol on the lower right.
The waiter brought two cups of coffee, said slowly, turned around and left.
"His latte art is good, and I can't bear to stir it up every time I drink it." Lin Yue looked at the milky white flowers floating on the surface of the coffee and said with a smile.
Sitting on the chair opposite him is a woman in her early thirties. The eyebrow line drawn by eyebrow pencil is swept just above the cheekbones. Her long bangs are combed to one side. She looks a bit cool when she is not talking. .
Zhao Jingyu, the woman and fiancée who had been friends with Liang Zhengxian for seven years, was also the trump card that Neptune used to get rid of other women.
"I remember the last time I met you at the gym, you said you were from Shanghai. Why do you sound like you are familiar with HK now?"
Lin Yue smiled: "Of course, I like the beef brisket in clear soup in the shop opposite. Every time I finish eating, if it's early, I will come here to sit and try the new products launched in the shop."
"Nine records?" She suddenly realized that Lin Yue's words above were in Cantonese: "Hey, do you speak Cantonese so well?"
Lin Yue joked: "If I said that I learned Cantonese so that I would not be treated differently when I come to HK to eat, would you believe it?"
Zhao Jingyu said: "You are really good at joking."
She stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon, picked it up and took a sip: "You asked me to come here to meet you, wasn't it just for drinking coffee, was it?"
Although the young man opposite is funny and handsome, and more importantly, he exudes an indescribable temperament and feels safe. I really want to sit with him and chat, but as a person As a mature woman, she still has a trace of reason left, knowing that the other person asking her out will not just drink coffee.
"Of course not." Lin Yue said, "I want to talk to you about Liang Zhengxian."
Liang Zhengxian?
Zhao Jingyu looked surprised, not expecting the young man to say this name.
"Do you need to be so surprised? He and I are not good friends, we are just acquaintances who drank and ate together." Lin Yue explained with a smile: "Has he contacted you recently?"
Zhao Jingyu shook her head.
"This guy leaves his beloved wife at home and travels alone. Doesn't he care whether you are bored or not?"
Zhao Jingyu remained silent.
"In general, hk is still too small, the sky above your head is too narrow, and your mind will not be open. How about it? Are you interested in going to the mainland?"
What does he mean? Zhao Jingyu raised her head suddenly because she realized that there was something behind Lin Yue's words, but she couldn't figure out the underlying meaning.
"You're kidding, don't be so nervous." Lin Yue picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and ate a large piece of the latte art on it: "Does the coffee taste good?"
Zhao Jingyu nodded and said, "Not bad."
"The toast here is also very delicious. A slice of it for breakfast will satisfy you all morning."
"Really?"
"Of course, I'll treat you to some when you have time."
Zhao Jingyu didn't say yes or no, and changed the subject: "Last time in the gym, I asked you what you did, and you haven't told me yet?"
Lin Yue smiled meaningfully: "I am a lawyer."
"lawyer?"
"Don't believe it?"
"..."
Fifteen minutes later, Zhao Jingyu picked up the chain bag placed behind her and said with a smile: "Thank you for the coffee."
"You're welcome." Lin Yue stood up and walked her out the door.
…
Two more days passed.
Zhong Xiaoqin stood on the causeway next to the Suzhou River and kept walking back and forth.
"What should I do?" She stamped her feet anxiously. Ever since her mother called Chen Yu to find out about the divorce, she had called her no less than ten times in the past two days, asking her to go home and explain clearly why she wanted to divorce. She felt so old. The wife's tone was very stern, so she lied that she was taking a break and would go back in two days.
Not long ago, the old lady gave a death order. If you don't go back today, you will never go back.
"Sister." Zhong Xiaoyang said from behind: "This kind of thing is nothing to be ashamed of. I think it's better for you to go back and explain it clearly to your aunt. Anyway, there are no children to drag you down. If two people can't live together, they will separate. It's not like the feudal era where women don't have men. If you can’t live, everyone has the right to pursue happiness, as long as you are happier today than yesterday.”
"But my parents don't think so." Zhong Xiaoqin said: "They have old ideas. When I was in school, they watched me closely every day and wouldn't let me play with this child. They said that child was uneducated and not suitable for being friends. , I also went to college in Shanghai, and I never left them. They arranged a blind date two years after graduation, and urged me to marry Chen Yu, saying that the man was honest, reliable, highly educated, and good at work, and I didn’t even know what I wanted. Married out of nowhere."
Just as Zhong Xiaoyang was about to speak, Zhong Xiaoqin's cell phone rang. When she picked it up, her expression changed instantly.
"What's wrong?"
"My dad had a heart attack and was in the hospital."
"Which hospital is it? I'll take you there."
"I'd better take a taxi. If mom sees you, she will ask questions later."
"What time of the day is it now? Why are you still struggling with this and taking a taxi? The road is so congested that it will take more than an hour to get to the hospital."
Zhong Xiaoqin thought that this was indeed the case, so she had no choice but to take the helmet thrown by Zhong Xiaoyang, get on the Harley motorcycle and rush to the hospital.
…
Half an hour later.
The motorcycle stopped at the door. Zhong Xiaoqin told him he could go, took off his helmet and ran towards the outpatient building.
When she arrived at the cardiac surgery department, she saw a doctor explaining her condition to her mother.
"It's out of danger. The patient had a history of heart disease before, and now there are signs of recurrence. It's pretty good. We rescued it in time. There is no big problem now, but we still need to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days. Cardiac Stent Have you never done this before?”
Mother Zhong shook her head: "Do you still need to install a stent?"
"It depends on the patient's recovery. We will come up with a treatment plan at that time."
"Oh, okay, thank you, thank you."
The doctor nodded and left with the folder.
"Mom...Dad, what's wrong?" Zhong Xiaoqin asked anxiously as the doctor walked into the office.
"What's wrong with your dad? I'm not angry with you! Such a big thing as a divorce was handled quietly without any discussion with us. I went to Chen Yu's place two days ago. I originally wanted to take advantage of you. On your birthday, you asked him to add your name to the house book. What happened? At that time, I really wished that there was a crack in the ground to crawl through. After I went back, I never dared to tell your dad about it until I called you not long ago. I heard it on the side, and when I get angry, isn’t that..."
Zhong Xiaoqin was about to comfort her when she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw that it was Zhong Xiaoyang coming over.
"Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to go back?"
Zhong Xiaoyang said: "I'm worried. Come and have a look. I'm wondering if I can help if I need help." After that, he looked at Zhong's mother and said, "It's auntie, my colleague Xiaoqin's name is Zhong Xiaoyang."
"Is that you?" Mother Zhong's expression changed, and she pointed to the corridor and said, "Go, go now, I don't want to see you."
Zhong Xiaoyang was stunned.
"Mom?" Zhong Xiaoqin was confused.
"You're not leaving, are you? If you insist on lying down in anger like your father, you will get what you want? Are you happy?"
When Zhong Xiaoqin saw this posture, she could only grit her teeth and push Zhong Xiaoyang back: "Let's go, hurry up."
He looked at Zhong Mu, who had an angry look on his face, and thought that his sense of presence was in place. He told Zhong Xiaoqin to take good care of the old man and remember to call him if there was anything he needed. Then he turned and left.
"No wonder you divorced Chen Yu. It turned out to be because of him. I told you where to go to Chen Yu two days ago. How could they emphasize that you recognized a younger brother." Mother Zhong said angrily.
"Mom, that's not the case. Don't listen to his nonsense."
"That's not it. What's that like? You go too, I don't want to see you now."
"mom……!"
The next morning, Zhong Xiaoqin came to Kunshan Garden, looked up at the balcony, went upstairs with a look of resentment, and took out the house keys from her bag.
This Chen Yu, if he hadn't been so talkative, her mother wouldn't be so angry, and her father wouldn't be ill and hospitalized. What does it mean to recognize a handsome little brother? What do you mean by saying this?
The key is that I called him seven times and never got through. Did he not answer on purpose?
She must settle the score with him today. With this thought in mind, she inserted the key into the lock.
Then I found I couldn't get in.
Can't get in...
Yes, she often cannot open this door because it requires skill. This does not mean that there is something wrong with the key.
When she bent down to look, she was stunned.
There's nothing wrong with the key, it's the lock.
The door locks were changed...
He actually changed the door lock, this bastard!
Zhong Xiaoqin's lungs were about to explode with anger, so she kicked the door directly.
Boom!
"Son of a bitch."
Boom!
"Are you still not a man?"
When she was about to kick for the third time, the door clicked open and a person appeared on the other side.
