Marrying into a rich family again, the road to becoming a partner

Chapter 10Three meetings

After wiping the water stains off the last bowl and putting it in the cupboard, Le Yun let out a long sigh of relief.She rubbed her eyes, which were red and sore from not sleeping all night, then took out her cell phone and dialed Zhang Xiao's number.

As soon as the call was connected, Zhang Xiao's voice came over.

"Honey, are you still at the company? Are you tired? I'll drive to pick you up now. Let's go have breakfast together, and then you have a good rest today. We..."

"Zhang Xiao," Le Yun interrupted, not wanting to hear any more, "I just sent you a location. Come to this address now, I'll wait for you."

On the other side of the phone, Zhang Xiao was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said "Okay".

Putting down the phone, Le Yun walked to the living room and sat down, gently closing her eyes.

"Honey, is this the house you just fell in love with?" Zhang Xiao walked in, looked around and said to Le Yun, "It's a little small, but the location is pretty good, so it's okay to buy it for investment. Wife If you like it, I’ll ask the secretary to talk to the agency.”

"Zhang Xiao, this apartment is for rent for you." Le Yun put the key on the entrance cabinet, "I have paid one year's rent and have all the basic daily necessities. You can move here now .your clothes and other stuff I have today”

I will pack it up and deliver it to you by courier. "

"Honey, you are..."

"Why bother acting anymore?" Le Yun smiled, but her heart ached, "I will ask my lawyer to send you the divorce agreement, but..." Le Yun took a breath, "I am busy with a project recently. You may have to wait patiently for the case.”

"Wife..." There was audible panic in Zhang Xiao's voice. Although he knew that Le Yun already knew about him and Fan Ying, and he also guessed that Le Yun's reaction would probably not be very calm, but he didn't expect that Yes, I will be kicked out of the house in this way.

Le Yun waved her hand to signal him not to say any more.Zhang Xiao wisely shut up and did not try to explain anything.He knew Le Yun too well. At this moment and here, the more he spoke, the more counterproductive the effect would be.

There was only silence between the two of them.

After staying here all night, it was the morning rush hour in Bincheng. The sound of car horns and the roar of engines intertwined into a scene of cars and horses like a flowing water.However, in this apartment facing the street, Le Yun felt surprisingly quiet.This small apartment felt like a wilderness at the moment.That empty feeling was very similar to the feeling when her soul was instantly pulled out of her body when she heard Zhang Xiao's voice on the other end of Fan Ying's phone.

"You said before that the filter of the dishwasher at home should be changed. I changed it yesterday." Zhang Xiao finally spoke.

Le Yun nodded and said nothing.

"Le Yun," Zhang Xiao's voice suddenly became trembling, and his expression looked like a child who had done something wrong, guilty and innocent, "I know that I did something wrong, and it was very wrong. Now I have no position to defend myself, because no matter what the reason is, it is not the reason for me to betray my marriage. I don’t want to say I’m sorry, because this will not help at all to make up for the harm I caused you.”

The tears that Le Yun had suppressed for a long time finally burst out.

After being together for so long, this was the first time Le Yun heard Zhang Xiao talking to her in such a tone.

She didn't know why, but she couldn't help but think of that summer when the fragrance of lilacs filled the air. In the school library, the sun shone slantingly in. Zhang Xiao's white shirt seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light, and that freeze-frame In her heart, the smile lit up her life for more than ten years.

She raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her. At this moment, his shoulders were drooped, his face looked tired, his eye circles were reddish, and there was green stubble on his chin.He is completely different from the successful person who usually looks like he is full of energy.

Four words appeared in Le Yun's mind: It felt like a lifetime ago.

Thinking of this, Le Yun felt sour in her heart, and her tears surged out even more uncontrollably.

Seeing Leyun starting to react, Zhang Xiao seized the opportunity, took a step forward, and held her hand tightly.Le Yun's body trembled and she wanted to struggle, but she didn't break free.Le Yun really had no strength, so she had no choice but to let him hold her hand numbly.

As if seeing hope, Zhang Xiao said eagerly:

"Honey, I know I did something wrong, but I love you and I don't want to divorce, let alone leave our home."

"I love you", these three words sounded so harsh at the moment.

Le Yun can no longer remember how many times these three words have made her heart flutter.She still remembered that at that time, Zhang Xiao had just started his business, and she had to rely on her to support the family. Every time she felt hard and wronged, as long as Zhang Xiao whispered these three words in her ear, all the fatigue would disappear. Disappeared in an instant.

She suddenly realized that they had been together for so many years, and every time she was angry, Zhang Xiao would pull her, hold her in his arms, kiss and say these three words in her ear.

No!

Le Yun shook her head.

Why did he think he could repeat his same tricks and gain her forgiveness so easily?

Absolutely not!

Thinking of this, she got the strength from nowhere and suddenly pulled out the hand held by Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Xiao was stunned for a moment.Obviously, Le Yun's move surprised him a little.

From the moment he fell in love to getting married, Zhang Xiao was very sure of his relationship with Le Yun. Le Yun had always been the one who loved more.He has always been very sure that no matter what he did wrong, as long as he sincerely coaxes her, admits his mistake and apologizes, he will definitely be understood and forgiven.

Indeed, his mistake was indeed a bit bigger this time.But no man of his status does not have a few "confidantes".In the words of one public figure, he simply made the same mistake that all men make.It was reasonable for Le Yun to be unable to forgive herself for a while, but as long as she had enough patience and showed great sincerity, this matter would pass sooner or later.

Leyun loves me so much that she will never be willing to divorce me.

In Zhang Xiao's heart, this is a gold medal to avoid death.

But after learning that Leyun had rented this apartment for him in advance, Zhang Xiao was more or less surprised. He found that this time things were not as easy as he expected.

It doesn't matter, I can definitely save the situation.Zhang Xiao thought to himself.He did not forcefully close the distance between Le Yun and himself, but took half a step back to leave enough space for Le Yun.

If you want to speed, you can't reach it.

Being involved in the business world, he has long understood the principle of retreat in order to advance.

"Don't worry, I won't put any pressure on you. If you let me live here, then I will be here until you feel my sincerity and are willing to give me another chance."

Le Yun didn't want to say anything else, let alone look at Zhang Xiao again.For her now, being by Zhang Xiao's side for another moment would feel as painful as being insulted.

Without saying a word, she walked towards the door, her body floating gently like feathers falling slowly in the air.She gently put her hand on the door handle, turned it, pushed the door open, and was about to take a step forward——

"Le Yun," Zhang Xiao's voice sounded from behind, and his tone was extremely sincere, "Honey, please, don't sentence me to death so quickly. Give me another chance..."

Snapped!

With the crisp click of the door lock.

When you agree and feel that I am qualified to come back, I will go home. "After saying that, Zhang Xiao picked up the suitcase on the ground and gently turned the door handle with his hand. Just before pushing the door open, he suddenly stopped moving, turned to Le Yun, and said in an extremely sincere tone: "Le Yun, my wife. , from now on, you don’t have to do anything, just watch my actions.Please, give me, give us another chance. "After that, Zhang Xiao opened the door and walked out without waiting for Le Yun to react.

With the crisp click of the door lock, Le Yun leaned against the wall of the corridor, like a person who had been suffocated for a long time and just came into contact with the air. She took a deep breath quickly, exhausted all her strength, and burst into tears. It fell to the ground, but no sound came out of its mouth.

Outside the window, the sun had hidden behind the thick clouds at some point, and had converged its dazzling light, leaving only the afterglow of the setting sun.

The late autumn wind carries a bit of biting chill, and in the gray sky, it shuttles through the reinforced concrete forest in Bincheng, making a whining sound that sounds like a scream.

At the entrance of Luheng Financial Investment Company, An Daiqing had been in the car for an hour. Her eyes had been staring at the entrance and exit of the building through the car window.After a while, a girl wearing wide-leg pants and a tight knit sweater came out.An Daiqing hurriedly opened the car door, walked forward quickly, and stopped her.

This girl is Qiao Panpan, the assistant of Zhao Bin, the deceased in the Li Wenjie case.

"Why is it you again?" Seeing clearly that the person coming was An Daiqing, Qiao Panpan muttered with dissatisfaction.

Since Zhao Bin's accident, the company has undergone huge personnel changes.When the new boss took over, she, a close minister of the former emperor, was naturally transferred to other positions.

Compared with the previous assistant to the president who was always polite to everyone he met, his status has dropped a lot and his workload has increased a lot.Colleagues who used to think that she was using chicken feathers as darts often started to make some weird comments about her when they saw her.

In the past few days, Qiao Panpan had accumulated a lot of resentment in the company.After finally getting off work, I could finally take a breath. As soon as I went out, I saw An Daiqing and knew that she must be here to investigate matters related to Zhao Bin again.She was exhausted after working all day. When she thought about having to deal with An Daiqing's various problems, she was so angry that she wished she could punch An Daiqing out of her head. a long distance away.

An Daiqing is so smart. One look at Qiao Panpan's attitude towards her and he can read her thoughts clearly.She was not anxious or annoyed, and handed over a cup of Starbucks hot chocolate with a smile, "Panpan, I'm not here to do research on you this time."

"No investigation?" Qiao Panpan frowned and took the hot chocolate from An Daiqing doubtfully, "Then what else can you do to me?"

"Of course I'm here to express my gratitude." As she said that, like magic, An Daiqing took out a shopping card for Galaxy Shopping Center, the most high-end shopping mall in Bincheng, from her bag and handed it to Qiao Panpan's hand. "You helped our firm a lot with your boss's case. My boss and I specially applied for this as a token of our gratitude. You must accept it. The amount of this card is 5000 Yuan." An Daiqing emphasized, pretending to be casual.

Qiao Panpan's eyes obviously became brighter, and the frowned brows instantly relaxed like shrimp crackers put into boiling oil.She smiled brightly and muttered in her mouth: "How embarrassing is this? I didn't do anything..."

An Daiqing felt funny in her heart, but she said very sincerely: "No need to be embarrassed, you deserve it. The information you provided before is very important and allowed us to find a breakthrough point. This is our point Xinxin, please take it and buy some clothes or cosmetics. By the way, have you just gotten off work? Haven't you eaten yet? I know there is a Japanese restaurant nearby that has good food. Come on, let's have a meal together, even if we have each other. friend."

As she spoke, An Daiqing took Qiao Panpan's arm affectionately and walked to the Japanese food shop together.

In the izakaya up and down the mountain, the waiter asked the two of them to sit down and handed them two menus.

An Daiqing waved her hand and directly ordered the two most expensive set meals in the store.

After a while, the table was filled with plates of delicacies.

The delicious food makes people want to eat.As the thorns grew one by one and the sea urchins were eaten, the two of them became more and more passionate.

Seeing that the time was almost up, An Daiqing decided to introduce today's topic.

"Panpan, when I first met you today, I felt that you seemed to be in a bad mood. Is there something on your mind? If there is anything I can do to help, you are welcome. We are friends now." He said, She picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Qiao Panpan.

"Oh, don't mention it." Qiao Panpan took a sip of wine as if she was angry, "People say, 'The tea will get cold when the person is gone'. It's absolutely true!"

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong at work?" An Daiqing said, placing a piece of roasted wagyu in front of Qiao Panpan.

"In the past, when the boss was here, no one could disrespect me. Even the managers of various departments were polite to me when they saw me. But now, something happened to the old boss and the new boss took over. As the saying goes, 'One emperor and one courtier' ’, I, the former boss’s assistant, was like a used rag, thrown directly into the trash can.”

"That's really too much." An Daiqing said with the same hatred: "I guess it must be that your new boss didn't deal with Zhao Bin before, and now he has the opportunity to rise to power, so he must eliminate dissidents and work with the party to defeat those who are different."

"No, no, no." Qiao Panpan put a piece of plump bluefin tuna belly into her mouth and chewed it with a satisfied expression on her face. She looked at An Daiqing and said mysteriously: "This, you But I guessed completely wrong.”

"Wrong guess?" An Daiqing pretended to be incredulous.

"Of course!" Qiao Panpan said proudly: "Did you know? Luheng's new boss Xie Fei was good friends with Zhao Bin before. When Luheng was founded, Zhao Bin provided the money, and Xie Fei was responsible for running the business and pulling in Customers, the two cooperated tacitly, which allowed the company to slowly develop. Later, as the employer, Zhao Bin naturally became Lu Heng’s boss. However, he had never treated Xie Fei badly. No one in the company did not know Their relationship is extraordinary.”

At this point, Qiao Panpan's tone became angry again, "Who would have thought that this person would fall out faster than flipping through a book! As soon as Xie Fei became the boss, he replaced all of Mr. Zhao's people with his own People. The cleaning was so thorough that almost no one was left."

"People's hearts are really unpredictable." An Daiqing said thoughtfully.

"Isn't it! The most unlucky one is me..." Qiao Panpan continued to complain to An Daiqing about the unfair treatment she suffered.

An Daiqing dealt with her on the surface, but she was already thinking about her next plan in her heart.

At the same time, in the coffee shop next to Zhang Xiao’s company.Zhang Xiao made an appointment with Feng Ning, the company's legal adviser. The two exchanged a few words and then went straight to the topic.

"Mr. Zhang, frankly speaking, your matter is not easy to handle." Lawyer Feng Ning shook his head and said to Zhang Xiao.

"Of course I know that." Zhang Xiao smiled, "It's precisely because it's difficult to handle that I asked you, Attorney Feng. I will definitely thank you again after the matter is completed."

Feng Ning didn't answer. He took a sip of coffee and seemed to be still weighing whether to take on this difficult case.

Zhang Xiao was not surprised by his reaction.If you don't see a rabbit, don't let go of the hawk.For an old fox like Feng Ning who has become a master through cultivation, Zhang Xiao knew that he deliberately acted like this just to add some "material" to himself.

"Lawyer Feng," Zhang Xiao cleared his throat, "my company will be listed in Hong Kong soon. From now on, I want to leave all legal matters on the mainland to you. In addition, recently some of my business friends are considering Change a law firm. We are all smart people. Let’s put it this way, Lawyer Feng, as long as you can let me escape unscathed, I guarantee that your firm will get at least tens of millions more business.”

"Okay." Seeing that the goal was achieved, Feng Ning smiled with satisfaction, "Since Mr. Zhang is so happy, I won't make any detours. Mr. Zhang, at present, your property is basically the joint property of your husband and wife. I want to escape unscathed..." Feng Ning thought for a moment, twitched the corner of his mouth, and a fox-like smile appeared on his face immediately, "It's not absolutely impossible. However, you must be patient, we may need some time. You If you are in a hurry, even if you want to give me hundreds of millions of dollars in business, I will not dare to take your case."

"Don't worry, Lawyer Feng." Zhang Xiao leaned back, "When I made this request, I already expected that it wouldn't happen overnight. I worked hard to build the company. As long as I can keep my property, I can do it for as long as I want. not a problem."

"Mr. Zhang said that, I feel relieved, but your wife's side..."

"This..." Zhang Xiao smiled resolutely and said with confidence, "I have a way. Lawyer Feng, just plan for me."

"Okay, then I will try my best."

"Then I'll leave everything to Lawyer Feng."

For their own benefit, the two hands are held together.
