Zhong Lingyu said helplessly: "What did you do again?"
"It's nothing..." Chen Tinglan hesitated.
The preface didn't match the postscript, so Zhong Lingyu pieced it all together and barely understood it. She asked in astonishment, "So Jiang Zongrui is lying in the hospital now and can't get up?"
"Yes." Chen Tinglan looked embarrassed, "Didn't Jiang Zongrui get injured before because of me? Later, because of Jin Shaotang's trouble, his condition worsened. I saw that his condition has improved slightly in the past few days, so I personally cooked for him. He delivers meals.”
When talking about the latter part, Chen Tinglan's tone was a little weak, "Who would have thought... that his appetite would be so poor and he was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. The doctor said it was food poisoning, but the food I cooked was given by the servant at home. It should be fine.”
Zhong Lingyu's lips twitched slightly, "You seem to have never cooked before."
"I've never done it before." Chen Tinglan smiled awkwardly, "I didn't hire a servant, I just learned it quickly. I even took a bite myself. Although the taste was average, it was what I meant. Who knows that good intentions can lead to bad things... "
Zhong Lingyu felt that it might not be kind to laugh at this time.
It's so funny.
Unable to hold back, Zhong Lingyu chuckled, "Then you come to me and ask me to save your life. What do you mean?"
"Have you forgotten that you said before that Jiang Zongrui will retaliate? If I caused him so much misery, he will definitely retaliate against me. If such a thing really happens, you must help me persuade Jiang Zongrui." Chen Tinglan shouted Drinking tea, he said, "After all, I didn't mean to harm him."
Zhong Lingyu covered her lips and smiled suppressedly: "Okay, I will try my best to persuade you."
"Also, I can't go home now. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Can you take me in for a few days?" Chen Tinglan looked at Zhong Lingyu with a pleading face.
Zhong Lingyu was puzzled, "Why can't you go home?"
"I caused Jiang Zongrui such misery, and the Jiang family is now criticizing the entire Chen family. Originally, my father was always dissatisfied because of my marriage to Jin Shaotang. Now that I have caused trouble again, he must be waiting for me with family law. How could I go back and be beaten?" Chen Tinglan looked confident.
However, for Zhong Lingyu, Chen Tinglan's current unreliable and trouble-making appearance is always a lot more reassuring.
A few days ago, Chen Tinglan looked haggard and weak because of Jin Shaotang and Gu Jiao, which was really worrying.
Fortunately, Chen Tinglan recovered.
Zhong Lingyu said: "This is not a problem. But I still have to tell Uncle Chen. He is angry. If he can't find you, he will definitely be worried. However, if Uncle Chen doesn't agree to you coming to my place to celebrate the New Year, , I can’t help it.”
Chen Tinglan held her chin and sighed as she said: "These days, Jin Shaotang often comes to Chen Mansion to look for me. I don't want to see him, and my father doesn't want me to see him. When I celebrate the New Year with you, I can avoid Jin Shaotang. , Father will not refuse to agree."
"Then ask someone to pack some luggage."
When Shen Huaizhou was away, Zhong Lingyu felt bored and even lonely alone.
During the Chinese New Year, Shen Huaizhou may be even busier.
Thinking of this, Zhong Lingyu raised a helpless smile.
No matter whether Shen Huaizhou is busy or not, he probably doesn't want to come back to live there.
She was alone at home, feeling like this house, empty and without warmth.
Therefore, Zhong Lingyu was very happy when Chen Tinglan came to accompany her.
Chen Tinglan said ambiguously: "Will it disturb the life of you and the young marshal?"
Zhong Lingyu smiled and said, "No, he should go to Shen Mansion during the Chinese New Year."
"Why, he won't come back to accompany you?"
"Not sure." Zhong Lingyu replied lightly, "Just stay with me for the New Year."
Chen Tinglan noticed something was wrong with Zhong Lingyu's mood, but did not reveal it.
She picked a light topic and chatted with Zhong Lingyu for a long time.
After dinner, the two slept in the same bed in the room, talking privately.
They were all insignificant things, but Zhong Lingyu's inner boredom was relieved a lot.
Early the next morning, Zhong Lingyu went to the military government.
But as soon as she arrived at the office, she noticed that some lesbians were chatting in groups and occasionally turned to look at her.
Zhong Lingyu could guess that the topic was probably related to her.
She didn't want to pay attention and went about her work normally.
But some words came to my ears inexplicably.
"Don't you know? Today, Director Wu of the Ministry of Economic Affairs got angry. He fired two members of the department very early in the morning. His momentum was really scary."
"General Manager Wu has never fired anyone before. What's going on?"
"That Consultant Zhong... It is said that the two people who were fired had offended Consultant Zhong before. Director Wu came to our office every once in a while to see Consultant Zhong. The two of them were chatting and laughing. What do you think is going on? ?”
"A hero saves a beauty, but he becomes a beauty in anger?"
"Returning the hero to saving the beauty, haha! Who doesn't know that Commander Wu already has a family, and Advisor Zhong was introduced to work in the military government by the young marshal."
"Oh my God, you mean, Commander Wu covets the Young Marshal's woman?"
"I didn't say anything, you can feel it yourself."
"..."
It is said that spittle can drown people, Zhong Lingyu has realized it now.
She is not afraid of shadows, and she has a simple superior-subordinate relationship with Director Wu.
When I usually talk to Mr. Wu, he always talks about work.
In the eyes of others, it turned into a joke.
It’s really scary what people say.
But... does Mr. Wu's dismissal of others really have anything to do with her?
Zhong Lingyu quietly investigated with a skeptical attitude.
After checking this, she became wary.
She knew the two people Chief Wu dismissed.
She met him when she and Shen Huaizhou went to the military government together.
Those two men, a Mediterranean bald man and a fat man, gossiped about her behind her back, and their words were very filthy.
At that time, Shen Huaizhou was very angry and wanted to kill them.
She was the one who stopped him because she was afraid of causing trouble.
Zhong Lingyu had no intention of paying attention to those two people.
Unexpectedly, Wu Shihui took care of them...
Is this standing up for her?
With this doubt in mind, Zhong Lingyu pretended to be chatting with Wu Shihui while at work.
Wu Shihui closed the document and said with a smile: "Well, it was because they embezzled public funds and my people found out that I fired them. Why, you seem to be curious about this?"
Zhong Lingyu just wanted to know if Wu Shihui had any intention of standing up for her.
If so, it would prove that Wu Shihui had thoughts about her, and she should try to avoid him in the future.
But after thinking about it carefully, Wu Shihui had a family of his own, so he would not risk offending Shen Huaizhou by flirting with her.
It seems that she really thinks too much.
Zhong Lingyu relaxed a little and said with a smile: "I'm just asking casually, don't mind, Mr. Wu."
Wu Shihui smiled generously, "No, you are also a member of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, so you should know everything about it."
Not far away, Shen Huaizhou saw at a glance that Zhong Lingyu and Wu Shihui were concentrating on talking.
The two kept a distance, but the atmosphere was good.
Shen Huaizhou's face darkened.
