Reborn As the Ex-wife of the Paranoid Male Lead - Chapter 75
After that day, Jian Shiwu never saw Shen Cheng again.
This year, it seems that the curtain of instability has been lifted since the blizzard. In a cheerful atmosphere, many people raised their smiling faces to cover their swaying hearts. Under the whitewash of peace, they became more and more restless. Air.
There was a lot of commotion about Ji’s being hospitalized for the president’s car accident. The upcoming shareholders’ meeting, the company has a lot of discussions, and conspiracy theories are naturally indispensable.
Jian Shiwu often hears a name:
“Donald is going to preside over this shareholders meeting.”
“Since Yuanfeng’s father’s generation, the Tang family has been deeply attracted to Ji’s family.”
“That was also a friendship from a lifetime.”
“Donald’s parents saved Mr. Ji’s life.”
Speaking of the Tang family, the origin of this family and the Ji family is endless for three days and three nights. Since the Ji family started the business and established the Ji family in previous lives, the Tang family has always been with him, following the friendship of the ancestors of the previous generations. , is also difficult to say finished.
The Tang family and the Ji family have had a deep friendship for hundreds of years, and it is a life-threatening friendship. The ancestors of the Tang family have been loyal and righteous people from generation to generation, so the two Ji families are regarded as the leaders of the company. The family is the second-in-command. This is a past story that anyone who knows a little bit of the inside story knows, and the two families can maintain a balance in peace and harmony.
Zhen Meili always said: “The heart is always dissatisfied.”
“Yes.”
Jian Zicheng also always sighed: “Yuanfeng is also a person who talks about love and righteousness. Unfortunately, in this generation, after the Tang family is in the hands of Donald, it has become more and more dissatisfied.”
In the past few years, the documents from the Ji family’s old house were stolen, and there must be Donald’s writing in it.
They have always wanted to gain control of the company. From the perspective of deep palace power, the Tang family is considered to be a general who accompanies the emperor to fight the country, and his status in the entire company is also considered to be a veteran.
Zhen Meili whispered, “Yuanfeng hasn’t woken up yet, I think he can’t hold back a bit.”
Jian Zicheng also fell into contemplation: “A slight concussion may also be a bump to the head. Even if you wake up, you will have to cultivate for a while. For Donald, this time is enough for him to master the company.”
“Just by him?”
Zhen Meimei frowned: “Is there still no one in Ji’s family?”
When the words fell, the two looked at each other. Obviously, they both thought of Ji Yuanfeng’s only son, the boy who was about to graduate from high school. If something happened to the Ji family, then Shen Chengxian would be the only one standing on the cusp of the storm. man.
…
the thirtieth day of the new year
The snowstorm that had been falling for several days finally stopped. There were people sweeping snow everywhere on the road. The air after melting the snow was so cold that people shivered all over. Zhen Mei opened a small window, and bursts of air came in. cool breeze.
Jian Shiwu stood in front of the table making dumplings.
Zhen Meili said, “Don’t make those weird dumplings.”
“Know it…”
The dumplings on the table near Jian Shiwu were mischievously squeezed into various shapes. The child couldn’t work, so he thought that there was nothing to cause trouble.
From time to time, firecrackers could be heard outside, and Jian Shiwu said, “Where’s Dad?”
Zhen Meili’s movements stopped, and she said, “There is something going on at the company. He went out in the morning and only came back in the evening.”
Jian Shiwu gave Zhen Meimei a suspicious look.
In the recent atmosphere, even he keenly sensed something was wrong. Although it was the Ji family’s accident, which logically wouldn’t affect the Jian family, but Jian Zicheng had not touched the ground these days, so he didn’t know what he was busy with. .
Jian Shiwu looked at Zhen Meimei and always felt like everyone was hiding something from him. While feeling a little powerless, he felt depressed. He really thought a lot at home these days. , all wandering back and forth in their heads. At the same age, their parents were afraid that he would think too much, so they always hid it from him and didn’t let him worry too much.
At the same age, Shen Cheng was responsible for much more than him.
“mom…”
Jian Shiwu wrapped a dumpling in his fair hands and said, “Is Shen Cheng still in Ji’s old house?”
Zhen Meili nodded: “Yes.”
The snow just stopped today. If Shen Cheng wants to go back to country M, it will be either today or tomorrow. On this day of family reunion, someone has to go to a distant place, even if there may be a group of wolves, tigers and leopards to greet him there, but he does not have any Choice, in other words, Shen Cheng has never been afraid to meet these challenges.
Jian Shiwu lowered his head and looked at Pai Pai Dumplings, his thoughts gradually drifted away. Since Shen Cheng left, all kinds of things were messing around in his head. No matter what he was doing, he would think of Shen Cheng. .
This is not a very good thing.
At least some cruelty made Jian Shiwu realize that he couldn’t let go of Shen Cheng.
“Then today… did Shen Cheng eat dumplings?”
“Yesterday’s New Year’s Eve, did he live alone?”
“Mom, you said…”
As he spoke, he raised his head and met Zhen Meimei’s deep and meaningful eyes. People say that a child is better than a mother. Under those eyes, it’s as if all the little thoughts don’t exist.
Zhen Meili hooked her lips and smiled.
Jian Shiwu was seen inexplicably? His cheeks were flushed, and he lowered his head in a hurry: “I’ll just ask casually.”
Zhen Meili bowed her head and finished wrapping the last dumpling: “Mom doesn’t know either.”
I heard that in the first two days, Shen Chenggong gave all the servants in the manor annual leave, leaving only the old housekeeper to watch over the house. The family is celebrating the New Year’s holiday. The house is so big and so deserted.
“Oh…”
Jian Shiwu looked at the window outside, the snow had stopped, the noon sun was falling, and some of the snow was slowly melting, and it came to the heaven and the earth silently, and finally dissipated silently, the snowflakes were So soft, without any lethality, but it’s never left to be decided by others. It’s so stubborn and beautiful.
Zhen Meili said: “Don’t look so pure, no matter how clean the snow boils, the water will be turbid.”
That layer of frail appearance is just its disguise.
In other words, when it fell to the ground, it had already been stained with black between heaven and earth.
In a trance, Jian Shiwu thought of Shen Cheng, the clear and handsome young man, who also implied strength.
After the dumplings were ready, Jian Shiwu thought it was for two people to eat, but Zhen Meimei brought out the lunch box. She smiled at the child and said, “Let’s go.”
Jian Shiwu: “Where are you going?”
“What do you say?”
Zhen Meili put on her coat and gave him a blank look: “Of course I’m going to see the person you’re thinking of.”
“…”
Jian Shi noon reacted after knowing it, a little shy: “Mom!”
Hearty laughter came from the door.
So all the way to Ji’s old house, Zhen Meili also answered a phone call on the way, it should be from Jian Zicheng, it seems that the situation is not very good, so Zhen Meili’s face is also very solemn, don’t know what happened? What made Jian Shiwu’s mood sank.
Finally, the car stopped in front of the mansion.
Zhen Meili got off the car: “Let’s go.”
The Ji family really let all the servants go, and the old housekeeper came to open the door, still polite. Because Zhen Meili found out that the chef really went home to rest, and yesterday’s dinner was actually some quick-frozen food, she expressed her shock to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper said honestly: “The cook made some dumplings when he left, but the young master didn’t eat them.”
…
Sometimes, Shen Cheng’s thoughts are always so elusive.
Zhen Meimei was silent for a while and said, “I see, you can go.”
The housekeeper bowed to the woman gratefully. Although he was the housekeeper, he was also a servant, so he couldn’t control the master’s intentions. In the end, Shen Cheng might just listen to Zhen Meimei’s words.
…
living room
Jian Shiwu was waiting for Shen Cheng to come out of the room.
When we separated last time, Shen Cheng asked him to think about it clearly, but he didn’t clearly say what he was thinking about. Maybe he actually knew vaguely, but once he thought in that direction, some inappropriate memories would flood into his mind.
Do you still want to be willful?
I killed my parents in my last life, isn’t that enough?
To repeat the same mistakes?
Thinking of this, Jian Shiwu was cold all over, he couldn’t breathe, and many times, he even thought, why should he be reborn? If the car accident took him away completely, there would not be so many troubles.
…
He was sitting on the sofa, his thoughts were noisy, and he didn’t know what he was thinking.
suddenly
“Jingle Bell……”
The phone rang, and Jian Shiwu took a look at it. It was the monkey who was calling. He was puzzled for a moment, and then he thought of the reason. Two days ago, the atmosphere at home was unusual, so he asked the monkey. Check the situation of the company at home.
Jian Shiwu took a deep breath and answered the phone.
The monkey’s voice came from the other end of the phone: “Moon, I just got the news. Your father shouldn’t be at home now, right?”
Jian Shiwu’s heart lifted, and he said, “Yes, not here.”
“That’s no wonder, I guess Uncle Jian won’t be able to be idle now.” Monkey said: “The batch of goods your company is going to list this year seems to have been detained at customs. I don’t know the specific situation, listen. It is said that there is something wrong with the inspection, this matter can be big or small, but if it cannot be properly solved, it may have a great impact.”
After all, at the beginning of the year, Jian Zicheng spent most of the company’s funds on this batch of goods, hoping to sell at a good price in the next spring.
Jian Shiwu’s face turned pale in an instant.
“Is there a problem with the goods?”
“right.”
“How can there be a problem with the goods? I know that my father is very strict with the quality control, so there will be no problem…”
Monkey sighed: “There are many reasons for this, it may be someone cheated, or it may be the business of the partner, but I haven’t been sure that there must be a problem with the product, maybe it’s all right, we don’t know yet. .”
paused
The monkey added: “But if there is really a problem, it may affect the listing…”
Jian Shiwu’s hand on his leg suddenly clenched tightly. Because of the strength, it almost became blue veins. If the monkey could see his face, he would know how bleak and terrifying it was. He couldn’t understand Jian Shiwu. The mood, the kind of mood that can’t escape fate.
Like a lantern, those deliberately suppressed fragments swarmed, and at that moment, he could hardly breathe.
silence
a long silence
When the monkey thought the phone would hang up, Jian Shiwu said with some difficulty: “This first batch of goods seems to be cooperating with the Ji family, I heard from my father, can you help me pay attention to the specific situation? “
The monkey said, “Okay.”
“What’s wrong…” Monkey asked him, “You suspect that someone is behind the scenes. Do you have any doubts? I heard about the Ji family. Do you suspect that…”
Such a question just hits the heart.
Jian Shiwu’s eyes turned red involuntarily. There was a person’s name circling in his heart. If he had the answer in his previous life, it was so hard to tell him now. He seemed to feel it. If it was said, then everything would be different, something must be spoiled.
His heart was surging, and he even felt a fishy smell spread from his throat.
“no.”
“I have no doubts,” he said.
Jian Shi was lying on the sofa, his voice was hoarse: “There should be no problem with things, I believe Dad.”
The monkey sighed and comforted him a few words before hanging up.
Jian Shiwu put away his phone, he wanted to raise his head and take a deep breath, but he was caught off guard by the person standing on the second floor, the young man in light blue cotton clothes, leaning against the railing, he stood up straight, behind him It was a huge landscape painting on the wall on the second floor. He stood there alone, looking extremely lonely.
Jian Shiwu’s eyelashes trembled slightly: “Shen Cheng…”
He didn’t know if Shen Cheng heard the contents of the call.
When Shen Cheng walked in front of him, Jian Shiwu still felt cold all over, but Shen Cheng just poured him a glass of water and said warmly, “Auntie brought you here?”
“Ok…”
Jian Shiwu was holding the water glass. He seemed to come over. When he looked at Shen Cheng, his voice was soft: “We made some dumplings and brought them here for you to taste.”
Shen Cheng said, “Thank you.”
He looked at Jian Shiwu’s shaking hands, his black eyes drooped slightly, and his thoughts changed a few degrees in a few moments. When he was upstairs, he heard Jian Shiwu’s words clearly, even the child. Look carefully at the expressions.
Jian Shiwu wanted to put the cup down, but because his hands were too shaking, he made a lot of noise on the glass table, his body also trembled sensitively, and he took a deep breath, even as if he was worried about being caught. Seeing something normal, he glanced at Shen Cheng cautiously.
At this moment, he met the young man’s deep eyes.
Shen Cheng sat lazily on the sofa, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: “What are you nervous about?”
Jian Shiwu shook his head gently: “No, I was thinking about something, didn’t pay attention…”
“What do you think.”
Shen Cheng’s cold words made him suddenly raise his head: “Do you think Uncle Jian’s batch of goods has anything to do with me?”
! !
Jian Shiwu’s eyes widened, he subconsciously wanted to refute: “No…”
“Why do you think that.” Jian Shiwu didn’t know who he was comforting: “How could I doubt you? I’m just worried about Dad, and you have no reason to do that.”
“Really?” Shen Cheng didn’t have any extra expressions on his face, he said slowly, and the corners of his mouth even brought up an elegant smile: “But your eyes don’t say that, sometimes I think? What unforgivable things have you done that made you so wary of me.”
Jian Shiwu’s heart seemed to be pulled up.
Shen Cheng’s eyes seemed to be able to see people’s hearts clearly, he raised his eyelids: “Could it be, in a previous life?”
Jian Shiwu’s body was stiff, and his blood seemed to have frozen. He didn’t know what he remembered, his eyes were even red, and his breathing was a little short. He shook his head gently and whispered: “No…”
It’s not how many unforgivable things you have done to me, it’s just that I am also at fault.
Originally, Shen Cheng only spoke tentatively, but he didn’t expect the child to have such a big reaction. It was like a small animal that would collapse in the next second when it was cornered. At that moment, Shen Cheng Softened.
When Jian Shiwu lowered his head, there was some movement next to him. A small object was shoved into his hand. It felt a little hard, but not thorny. Peace talisman.
Jian Shiwu squeezed his hand: “This is…”
“I carved it.”
The boy’s voice sounded beside him. As soon as Jian Shiwu raised his head, Shen Cheng stretched out his hand and slid his slender fingers in front of his eyes, wiping away the tears from the corners of his big eyes. He almost sighed and said, “What? When did it become? So cry.”
He looked at people like a crying child.
Jian Shiwu was inexplicably embarrassed, and he said stubbornly, “I, I don’t!”
Shen Cheng saw that he had regained some vitality, and the corner of his mouth tickled, he said, “Well, that’s the best.”
Jian Shiwu was still holding the wooden carved peace charm. In fact, he was usually taken care of by Shen Cheng, but he hardly received any formal gifts. The watch he received last time was Shen Cheng’s farewell gift when he was leaving. This time, he was inexplicably flustered and asked softly, “Why did you suddenly give me this…”
Shen Cheng sat beside him, the light went down, the young man’s profile was exceptionally handsome, his tone was lazy, like a half-joking, but it was not contemptible: “What else can the function of the peace talisman be, of course to keep peace .”
Jian Shiwu moved for a while, but he was speechless.
Shen Cheng said, “Don’t you like it?”
“……no.”
Shen Cheng looked at his somewhat restrained appearance and hooked his lips: “Then be happy.”
Jian Shiwu looked up at him, but met the boy’s gaze. Shen Cheng’s eyes were deep, like a roundworm in Jian Shiwu’s stomach. He seemed to have guessed why he was worried. The boy looked at him. Looking at him, those quiet eyes gave people a sense of stability, as if nothing would happen if he was there, he reached out and touched Jane Shiwu’s soft hair: “Don’t cry and lose your face, have a good time. It’s a good year, no one will be in trouble.”
Then he withdrew his hand and took the temperature with him.
The housekeeper not far away was standing there, and there was a suitcase at the door. At this moment, Jian Shiwu felt like he realized something, he took Shen Cheng’s hand in a panic, and asked, “Are you going? already?”
“Well.” Shen Cheng said, “The plane in two hours.”
Jian Shiwu knew that he couldn’t stop anything, but he didn’t know what to say. He held the safety talisman tightly in his hand, but he couldn’t grasp anything except this. Seeing that Shen Cheng was about to leave, he stood He got up, suddenly remembered the conversation a few days ago, and said quickly: “Shen Cheng, I have thought through what you asked me to consider, and when Uncle Ji recovers, my parents and I will go to M country to see you guys, wait until next year. Senior year, you and Joan can still go back to school, we…”
Shen Cheng turned around and looked at him.
When Jian Shiwu reached his lips, he couldn’t say anything, Shen Cheng took a few steps closer to him, the boy looked down at him, Jian Shiwu thought he would ask, but he didn’t, he just said: “You didn’t think about it. Clear.” Jian Shiwu froze.
There was a cold smile in Shen Cheng’s eyes. He got very close, lowered his voice and said, “What I want you to consider is not whether you want to come to M country to see me, but whether you want to stay with me.”
When those words were really spoken, the door was finally pushed open.
“You’re not a stupid child, don’t you know exactly what it is?” In Jian Shiwu’s unbelievable eyes, Shen Cheng said in a low voice, “I just don’t want to think about that.”
Jian Shiwu wanted to lower his head subconsciously, but Shen Cheng stretched out his hand, the cold fingertips forced him to look up and look at him, Shen Cheng said slowly: “What I want you to consider is whether to let go of those things that are tangled in your heart, and follow up with him. I am together.”
For a moment, Jian Shiwu felt that Shen Cheng knew everything.
Shen Cheng: “Moon, you can ask me to accompany you, but I also have the right to ask, that’s only fair.”
Jian Shiwu was very confused, he murmured, “What do you want?”
“you.”
The neat answer made Jian Shiwu’s heart seem to have suffered a huge shock. He faced the boy’s black eyes, but found that there was something hotter in Shen Cheng’s eyes, and he hooked his lips: “I want you.”
Jian Shiwu’s brain suddenly became a mess. Sometimes he knew Shen Cheng too well and knew that this person would not joke. His mood was complicated, and he was at war with each other. On the one hand, he said rationally, but he was a cannon fodder. It’s not crazy, how can the cannon fodder be with the protagonist, don’t you think it’s not fast enough to die? Have you really forgotten what happened in your past life?
On the emotional side, it turned to Shen Cheng. He wanted to be with Shen Cheng, but he couldn’t.
Jian Shiwu’s face turned pale, he said tremblingly, “I…I’ll think about it…”
Standing on the spot, he was surrounded by a somewhat warm embrace, Shen Cheng gave him a hug, and the boy whispered in his ear, “Okay.”
“But I don’t want a one-sided answer.” Shen Cheng let go of him, and there was some distance between the two: “You have enough time to think, one year, two years, when will you make up your mind to throw away those entanglements? , wait until you decide to stop avoiding me and contact me again, don’t make the decision lightly, otherwise the result is not something you can bear.”
Jian Shiwu knew that he was really leaving, and asked softly, “If… I mean if I don’t accept…”
Shen Cheng hooked his lips and looked at him tenderly as if he was coaxing a small animal, but the words he said were cruel: “Then don’t contact him any more.”
Jian Shiwu froze all over.
On that day, he didn’t know when Shen Cheng left, he just remembered? Zhen Meili finally gave the dumplings and temporary cakes to the child before the car left for him to eat on the way. On the way back, Zhen Meili received a call and said that the shipment from the customs was fine and had been released.
She babbled a lot, and while talking, she observed Jian Shiwu’s expression in the rearview mirror. She knew that Jian Shiwu and Shen Cheng had a very deep relationship. This time Shen Cheng left, he thought this child would I cried, but I didn’t expect that he would just sit quietly in the back row, neither crying nor making trouble.
For a moment, Zhen Meili looked at the child in the rear mirror. At this moment, she finally realized that the child had grown up.
The author has something to say: about Shen Cheng’s departure, as well as the matter of Jian’s company, as well as some intricate reasons, this chapter really can’t be written, and it will be slowly expanded in the future.
The follow-up is basically sweet sisters, woohoo, hug me!
