What Comes Around Goes Around - Chapter 33

Fortunately, they wore black suits to work on weekdays, so they were temporarily notified to attend Dong Shan’s memorial service. Qian Heng and Cheng Yao’s costumes were also suitable.

When the two arrived at the funeral home where the memorial service was held, many people had already arrived.

As a business person, Dong Shan had a wide circle of friends during his lifetime. In addition to his relatives and friends, senior executives and employees of Zhenwei Dining, he also had friends in the mall.

There has always been an old saying that people go to cool tea. Now that Dong Shan is dead, this bizarre network of contacts has just begun to emerge.

Those who were really red with pain to the point of emotional breakdown, apart from Dong Shan’s elderly father, were Jiang Wenxiu and Dong Min, and the other so-called business friends who came to the memorial service just regarded this memorial service as another. It’s just social networking.

Everyone politely and politely said “Sorrow and change” or “Go all the way well”, give two exquisite wreaths and elegiac couplets, and a funeral gift, courteously comforting two relatives of the deceased, and also made a “friend” “Responsibility.

The death of a person, the greatest pain, is always reserved for those who are closest and love him the most.

Jiang Wenxiu, who could not afford to lie in the hospital because of Dong Shan’s divorce lawsuit before, was hit by Dong Shan’s accidental death again. The whole person can be said to be broken, almost like a piece of paper.

Cheng Yao originally saw her in the video interviewed by the online media, and remembered that she was a woman with good complexion and good maintenance. Although she is not beautiful, she has good features and well-dressed. Her brows and eyes can also vaguely detect the agility of her youth. .

However, Jiang Wenxiu now has a pair of dim eyes, and the whole person is gray. Because of crying, her makeup has been spent, showing a bleak face, her eyes are all swollen, she is clearly alive, but it feels like a walking dead, losing her soul and losing her goal.

Dong Min, who has always been overbearing and pampered, has also been crying in silence. The mother and daughter just supported each other in this way, insisting on thanking everyone who could come to the memorial service to send Dong Shan on a journey.

Since arriving at the memorial service, Qian Heng has been silent. There is no special expression on his face, but he appears solemn and quiet.

Only when Dong Shan’s body bid farewell, he finally sighed softly: “He is my first customer.”

Cheng Yao was stunned.

Qian Heng’s lip line was pressed tightly: “At that time I was just a young lawyer who was just a fledgling young lawyer, with no experience and no current reputation, but Dong Shan chose to trust me. I thought I could help him deal with family law issues throughout his life. .”

For a person like Qian Heng with introverted emotions, many words are still clicked. He only said these few words and never said any more. He just followed the crowd and gave Dong Shan a white chrysanthemum.

However, Cheng Yao is not stupid either. The few words are enough for her to realize that this is probably the reason why Qian Hengning can cancel the 2.5 billion bid customer appointments and also come to this memorial service.

Dong Shan was his first customer. Even though he said he didn’t care, Qian Heng was always grateful in his heart. He always remembered the trust Dong Shan gave him initially.

Everyone says that Qian Heng is cold and cold, but Cheng Yao feels that Qian Heng’s heart is warm after peeling off the cold shell.

——

From where Cheng Yao stood, you could see Jiang Wenxiu’s profile clearly. Her face was full of grief but the strength of emotions, a despair that was beyond grief.

Or if it really complies with that sentence, only when people die can they know who is the one who truly loves themselves. Cheng Yao thought that if Dong Shan could come and see how good this scene was, he would know that although he could sacrifice and abandon Jiang Wenxiu for the so-called love at any time, he would be the whole world to Jiang Wenxiu.

After the body farewell ceremony, Jiang Wenxiu was supposed to give a simple speech as his spouse. However, Jiang Wenxiu’s spirit could not support her to do this. Dong Min cried and missed his father Dong Shan. After that, Dong Shan’s body was accompanied by his close relatives and was cremated by the staff of the funeral home.

Before sending the body to the cremation room, Jiang Wenxiu deliberately assisted by Dong Min and walked to Qian Heng’s front: “Lawyer Qian, can you wait for me, I will send our old Dong the last trip, and I have something to say to you. Say.”

Although this request was a bit unexpected, Qian Heng nodded.

——

Qian Heng and Cheng Yao waited in the meeting room. They didn’t wait long. After a while, Jiang Wenxiu walked in with Dong Min’s support.

She looked like she had just died, and she clearly saw the overdraft of her body and spirit. After she stood still, she waved her hand and asked Dong Min to wait outside.

“Lawyer Qian, I know that Old Dong entrusted you to sue you for divorce. I used to resent you, especially Minmin, and did a lot of extreme things that caused you trouble. I want to apologize to you in person.”

Even in this case, Jiang Wenxiu still speaks neither humble nor overbearing, and her speech is gentle and very friendly. Cheng Yao couldn’t help but feel good about her while sympathizing.

Mentioned the word divorce, Jiang Wenxiu’s eyes couldn’t help dimming, and she sighed in depression and pain: “It may be that the old Dong is in menopause, and the pressure on the company is so great that it more or less makes him feel upset. Well, in recent years, because of high blood pressure, my temper is easy to be irritable, but I only take care of my child, but I didn’t expect my wife. I have always ignored his feelings and failed to understand him and take good care of him. After several fights, both of them were in their fifties, and they were divorced at such an age…”

After a person dies, no matter how bad things he has done during his lifetime, even if he meets peacefully, at the memorial service, everyone can remember his good times, let alone the couples who have been together for decades. I am afraid that at this moment in Jiang Wenxiu’s heart, both It is sorrow and regret, both memories and miss of Dong Shan.

“Lao Dong and I have been rough from being together to getting married to giving birth to Min Min. My family is in good conditions, but he is very poor and white. Both families are opposed to being together. We married under pressure without any elders. Blessing, I escaped from home and didn’t have any money. We started from scratch all the way to the present. Finally, we finally settled down and wanted a baby. We had four miscarriages in a row. I went to check and found out that it was because of our two people’s white blood cells The antigens are too similar, leading to low blocking antibodies and easy miscarriage. Minmin is the child we left behind after all the hard work.”

When Jiang Wenxiu said this, she wiped her tears again: “Lao Dong likes children, and we tried to get them afterwards, but I’ve been habitually miscarried and can’t get pregnant anymore. To Minmin, I am very spoiled. It also caused the child to be ignorant and too arrogant.”

Cheng Yao was a little surprised. She heard Dong Shan mention that Dong Min was a child who was going to have a difficult time. She also mentioned that Jiang Wenxiu could not get pregnant because of his health, but Dong Shan’s words at the beginning made people feel that no matter what. It’s Jiang Wenxiu’s own reason, and has nothing to do with him, but the truth turns out to be so…

It was a mistake, God seemed to be joking with them, breaking through all kinds of worldly barriers together, unexpectedly similar antigens to save the fetus, but even so, these two people have persisted, if there is no betrayal of Dong Shan , This is what a love story passed down.

It’s a pity that there is always so much in life but…

“I know that Lao Dong’s divorce is very shocking, but I know in my heart that the relationship between me and him for so many years, so many years of ups and downs, is not a matter of principle. Any contradiction can be resolved in the end. This marriage, In the end, he won’t leave, but he didn’t expect to go one step further.”

Before Dong Shan told her about his extramarital affairs, Cheng Yao was very contemptuous in his heart. The man secretly carried his wife and raised his mistress, he was very low-level anyway, but at this moment, Cheng Yao couldn’t help but thank Dong Shan for his deception. He didn’t let Jiang Wenxiu know about Xiaomei’s existence from beginning to end, so at this moment, as his life came to an abrupt end, instead, Jiang Wenxiu’s marriage ended their relationship.

This may also be kind to Jiang Wenxiu.

I am afraid that she cannot accept that such a man who has always been in the same boat and wholeheartedly has a lover. What’s more, this is not only a physical derailment, but also a spiritual betrayal. This betrayal, Dong Shan calls it love. .

“On the matter of suing for divorce, at present, apart from Minmin and I, there are also a few close people in the company. The rest of the people don’t know. Since Mr. Dong has something like this now, Lawyer Qian, I hope you can help us keep it secret. Leave it to our family’s last respect.” Jiang Wenxiu lowered his head, “Anyway, if Dong is alive, I know that in the end we will all get together and grow old together. I don’t want Dong to go. There is no rumors, I can’t bear the eyes of others.”

“In addition, you also spent a lot of energy on prosecuting. I will pay the lawyer’s fees for the old Dong. Our old Dong is causing you trouble.”

“No. The case has not yet started, and I didn’t put much effort into it.” Qian Heng pursed his lips. “As for confidentiality, each of my parties and I have confidentiality clauses, even if the agency is no longer valid. , The confidentiality clause is permanent and you can rest assured.”

Jiang Wenxiu’s expression was still bleak, but she finally thanked Qian Heng for it.

——

After leaving Jiang Wenxiu and Dong Min, Cheng Yao sat on Qian Heng’s Bentley, still couldn’t help feeling a little bit sigh and emotion.

“I really don’t know why a good person like Jiang Wenxiu would cheat on Dong Shan. You see, they were all together until they got married, started a business and had children, but they didn’t go well. All the hardships and hardships have come over. Now they have everything. , But want to be like this? When he was able to face so many obstacles together, Dong Shan should have loved Jiang Wenxiu very much…”

“I just hate that people’s hearts are not like water, and wait for the waves to rise in peace.” Qian Heng’s voice is still faint, “Cheng Yao, love will change. As a family lawyer, you will soon get used to it. No feelings are eternal. of.”

“It can only be said that perhaps this ending is not too bad for Jiang Wenxiu, although Dong Shan’s divorce has caused such small flaws and cracks in her relationship and marriage with Dong Shan, but Fortunately, she didn’t know anything.” Cheng Yao sighed, and she was a little tangled up here, “but because she didn’t know about Dong Shan’s derailment, she still had deep feelings for Dong Shan in her heart. Look at the memorial service. The looks are unforgettable, I am afraid that Dong Shan will be remembered for the rest of my life, and it is impossible to start any new feelings…”

“she knows.”

“Hey?”

Qian Heng didn’t squint, but his tone was determined: “Jiang Wenxiu knows everything.”

Cheng Yao’s first reaction was not to believe: “How is it possible? If she knows, can she grit her teeth with hatred for Dong Shan? She can’t pretend to be at the memorial service.”

“Cheng Yao, people’s hearts are very complicated.” Qian Heng glanced at Cheng Yao faintly. “Jiang Wenxiu and Dong Shan started from scratch together. What the outside world doesn’t even know is that Zhenwei Catering can be bigger and stronger to this point. The core figure is not Dong Shan, but Jiang Wenxiu. She is a woman with a lot of business skills and courage. Her only weakness was Dong Shan, but now Dong Shan is no longer there, she can be both rational and smart. She played it out without scruples. Her sadness is real. After so many years of feelings and support, she has not fallen behind in the plan for herself. She is an excellent and admirable woman.”

Obviously, Cheng Yao’s inner balance is naturally biased towards Jiang Wenxiu, who is the original partner: “She has nothing to plan for herself, not to mention that she already knows about Dong Shan’s derailment, it is just your guess.”

“Before Dong Shan sued for divorce, she really didn’t know anything, so she couldn’t accept it for a while. She fainted and was admitted to the hospital, but she was not stupid. Dong Shan’s sudden divorce must be a demon, these days. She already knows everything.”

“And she not only knows that Dong Shan’s derailment, but also that Dong Shan’s lover is pregnant and is about to give birth.” Qian Heng turned his head and glanced at Cheng Yao, lightly said, “So she even kept the body for at least three days before cremation custom. He died early in the morning, and the memorial service was quickly organized this morning and he was cremated directly.”

Regarding this point, Cheng Yao actually found it very strange. The memorial service was indeed too rushed. If the police did not intervene in the investigation to confirm that it was an accidental car accident, it would even make people suspect that Jiang Wenxiu had done something.

Why did Jiang Wenxiu want to cremate Dong Shan so eagerly?

Qian Heng’s voice was as calm as ever, and he narrated the answer without any waves: “It’s for inheritance.”

Cheng Yao was stunned, and finally reacted: “Dong Shan’s lover, Xiaomei, is equivalent to having Dong Shan’s posthumous child. Although he was born out of wedlock, as Dong Shan’s child, once this child is born, he is also the first in line. If Dong Shan does not have a will, then this illegitimate child will have exactly the same share of inheritance rights as Dong Min!”

Qian Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief: “I thought you would have to wait for me to give you a clear explanation one by one before you can reflect it. Finally, you are better than hopeless.” He said here, Qian Heng reached out. Comparing with one finger, “It’s just better.”

The distance between his **** is almost equal to zero…

However, Cheng Yao couldn’t at all refute Qian Heng’s blow at this time. She only felt like a police detective who finally found a clue: “Because the child was born out of wedlock, if you want to prove that this child has inheritance rights, you must prove that he and Dong Shan’s parent-child relationship must undergo DNA testing, but at this time Dong Shan’s body has been completely cremated, and his body tissues and DNA have all been lost! Xiaomei has no way to advocate paternity testing!”

It was not until this time that Cheng Yao realized why Jiang Wenxiu finally met Qian Heng and herself specially, and asked to keep the lawsuit for divorce confidential.

Because she wants to completely deny the existence of Xiaomei from the source, even if Xiaomei finally comes to the door with her child, she will conclude that the existence of this posthumous child is nonsense or deliberate blackmail, after all, without knowing it. In the eyes of outsiders, including their daughter Dong Min, before the divorce proceedings broke out, they thought they were an extraordinary story of love.

Cheng Yao suddenly felt that marriage is like a battlefield.

Marriage is the most stable and intimate relationship. It has sweetness, love, and tenderness, but at the same time, it is also full of quarrels, conflicts, betrayal, desire, selfishness and suspicion.

Or the beginning of a marriage begins with love, but in the end, it enters a bloodless war between the sexes.

For a while, Cheng Yao was a little disappointed in love, marriage, and men. She stared at the receding scenery outside the car window and looked at Qian Heng’s profile.

Regardless of the angle, Qian Heng seemed to be unable to find any dead ends. His appearance was indeed capable of hitting. Cheng Yao’s eyes traced the lines of his face, from the straight nose bridge to the sharp and crisp jaw line. Qian Heng is very handsome, but he always feels a little bit cool and uncontrollable in his excessive handsomeness.

A ghostly messenger, Cheng Yao raised her head and asked Qian Heng a question.

“Are all men, subconsciously, want to cheat? It’s like an animal instinct?”

The feelings of Dong Shan and Jiang Wenxiu could not be controlled in front of Xiaomei.

“No.” Qian Heng answered decisively and concisely, “I will never.”

Although this is not necessarily true, Cheng Yao is still a little touched, at least Qian Heng has this heart: “Boss, your future target must be very…”

Before the word “happiness” was finished, Cheng Yao listened to Qian Heng continuing–

“After all, there is no more perfect person in this world than myself.”

“Hey???”

Qian Heng was too lazy to score points to Cheng Yao, he only raised his eyelids slightly: “Love yourself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.”

“Just love yourself, you will never derail.” Qian Heng said here, he couldn’t help but glance at Cheng Yao again, he smiled slightly, “Of course, this also has to be good enough, like me, it must be I won’t cheat, but it’s hard to tell if you are like you.”

“…”

What love for yourself is the opening of a lifelong romance? ! Say it so nice? !

Isn’t this **** narcissism? ? ?
