Chapter 153

Jiang Meilan didn't expect that at this moment, her sister would be much more clear-headed and resolute than her.

She was a little surprised, but she also felt that this was her sister's character. She looked quiet and easy to bully, but in fact she had her own opinions in her heart.

Jiang Meilan thought for a moment, then looked into her eyes and whispered, "If it really came to this, would you be willing to give it up?"

Are you willing to do so?

Jiang Meishu thought about her past with Liang Qiurun. All those times they spent together were accumulated day by day. Her husband Liang was so good.

But she lied to him.

Jiang Meishu smiled bitterly. "Sister, this isn't a question of whether I'm willing to give up or not. It's about paying the price for doing something wrong."

"Just like you and Shen Zhanlie, you'll quarrel, have conflicts, and fall apart. It's all because you deceived him. The fault lies with you. The same goes for me and Liang Qiurun. I deceived him. If it really comes to a divorce, that's the punishment I deserve."

However, she was glad that she and Liang Qiurun did not have children, so that she could leave more calmly and freely.

Instead of being in a dilemma like her sister.

Her sister may have feelings for Shen Zhanlie, but Jiang Meilan cares more about the child.

Her child currently has very good fatherly love, and she doesn't want to lose it.

It's that simple.

But Jiang Meishu has no such concerns.

Seeing her sister sober, Jiang Meilan sighed, "I'm not as clear-headed as you."

Jiang Meishu shook her head, "No." She lowered her head and touched Shen Xiaoju's face. She was really well-behaved and didn't cry at all when she played by herself. She knew Jiang Meishu was touching her face and thought she was playing with her. Shen Xiaoju grinned, revealing a pair of small teeth, and her hada was hanging on her chin, not to mention how long it was.

"Sister, you are not as good as me in life, you just have a soft spot."

“Once people have a weak spot, they will constantly compromise.”

Before they got married, her sister said everything was fine: if they succeeded, they would live together, and if not, they would divorce and take the children with them. She had money anyway. But when it really came to this, it was not the case.

Because she invests her emotions into her life, she sees how good Shen Zhanlie is to her, and similarly, she also sees how Shen Xiaoju has fatherly love.

Before any principled issues arose, she was reluctant to interrupt her current life, not to mention that the problems between her and Shen Zhanlie were not because of Shen Zhanlie, but because of her.

So, in the final analysis, she is different from her sister.

When leaving the Shen family, Jiang Meishu's heart was actually a little heavy. She saw a different Shen Zhanlie today.

She will also be able to see a different Liang Qiurun in the future.

Jiang Meishu returned home with a heavy heart. It was already the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the day to welcome the God of Wealth.

The family started to get busy. This year, Liang's mother was spending the New Year with them. This person had been in charge of the New Year affairs for so many years, so Jiang Meishu didn't have to worry about the family affairs at all.

She was in a bad mood, so she didn't stay in the living room for too long and went straight to the bedroom to rest.

Liang's mother noticed it, but she didn't leave. There was so much going on at home before the New Year that she sent Liang Rui away. "Go and see what's wrong with your stepmother. She doesn't look right."

Liang Rui was originally cleaning the windows of his house with Liang Feng. He was standing on a tall ladder. When he heard this, the ladder shook and he jumped down.

Throw the rag into the basin like shooting a basketball.

"I'll go right away."

After saying that, he disappeared like a gust of wind.

Liang Feng was still busy on the ladder. He hesitated for a moment and finally didn't follow.

When Liang Feng came in, Jiang Meishu was sitting in front of the dressing table in a daze. When she got married, Liang's mother specially asked someone to make a dressing table. The fine wood was painted and a mirror was installed on it, making it look like a completely integrated whole.

Jiang Meishu looked at herself in the mirror. She had gained some weight, and her face looked fuller. Her face, as white as a silver plate, had relaxed eyebrows and a rosy complexion. It looked like she was living a good life.

This is true.

After she married Liang Qiurun, her life was indeed comfortable. She had money, free time, no worries about food and clothing, no financial worries, and a considerate lover.

Liang Qiurun also has shortcomings, but compared to those shortcomings, his advantages are greater. He is a good husband.

So - after revealing the truth, does she really want to divorce Liang Qiurun?

At this moment, Jiang Meishu fell silent.

Until there was a noise behind him, "What's wrong with you?"

Liang Rui had been standing at the door for a while, but Jiang Meishu, who was extremely sensitive in the past, did not notice him from beginning to end.

There was something very wrong with her.

Jiang Meishu heard the voice and turned around to see that it was Liang Rui. She thought for a moment and said, "Come in. I want to ask you something."

Liang Rui was a little confused, but he obeyed in the end.

He stood in front of Jiang Meishu's dressing table. The boy had grown a lot taller over the winter, and where he stood, he blocked out the sunlight outside.

It also cast a shadow in front of Jiang Meishu.

Jiang Meishu looked at the tall and thin Liang Rui and considered for a moment, "Have you ever lied to your father before?"

This question was out of context, and Liang Rui subconsciously said, "I have cheated before, and it's not just once."

“Every time, I’m miserable at the end.”

At this point, Liang Rui seemed to suddenly realize something. He widened his eyes in shock, "No way? You lied to my dad?"

"Jiang Meilan, you're done. My dad is the worst. He always gets cheated on by others."

"This is a matter of principle."

When Jiang Meishu heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She pursed her lips and said nothing.

This really piqued Liang Rui's curiosity. He lowered his head and moved closer to her, looking at her straight in the eyes. "What on earth did you lie to my dad about?"

How should Jiang Meishu respond?

She couldn't answer.

The less she spoke, the more excited Liang Rui became. He stared at Jiang Meishu's exceptionally young and beautiful face. To be honest, Liang Rui didn't have any requirements for appearance, but he would still be amazed by the person in front of him.

There is no other reason, Jiang Meishu is just too beautiful, with a fair face and pretty facial features, just like a painting, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off her.

Liang Rui thought that her eyebrows were as pretty as a painting, her lips were red and her teeth were white, but it seemed that this was the case.

She is young and beautiful, but she deceived her father, an old man.

Almost instantly, Liang Rui had a guess, "Are you having an affair?"

Jiang Meishu looked up and glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm tired of my good life, so I'm going to have an affair?"

Moreover, with a man like Liang Qiurun's looks, even if she wants to have an affair, most men can't compare to Liang Qiurun.

Those who are richer than Liang Qiurun are not as good-looking as him, and those who are good-looking than him are not as rich as him.

To be honest, based on Liang Qiurun's conditions, Jiang Meishu could give him 99 points. The reason she didn't give him full marks was because she was worried that Liang Qiurun was too proud.

Judging from her tone, it doesn't sound like she's having an affair.

Liang Rui breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay as long as you're not having an affair."

"Anyway, as long as you don't cheat on your partner or have an affair, or keep a strange man, my dad will forgive you no matter what you do."

Anyway, Liang Rui finally understood that his father's previous principles were nothing in front of Jiang Meishu.

Jiang Meishu was stunned for a moment, still a little unconvinced, "Really?"

Liang Rui pulled a chair and sat down. The master bedroom where Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun lived was quite big. Even with a bed and a wardrobe, there was still enough space for a sofa and a chair.

So even if Liang Rui sat down, there was still plenty of space, or in other words, he was still half a meter away from Jiang Meishu.

"You don't believe it?" Liang Rui raised his eyebrows. "If you cry in front of my dad, he'll be ready to give his life to you and throw all his principles out the window."

"Don't believe me? Just try it tonight."

"But you have to do as I say. Admit your mistake first, and then cry."

Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and asked seriously, "It wouldn't help if I cried. This is a deception based on principle, the kind that cannot be forgiven."

When Liang Rui heard this, he stood up suddenly, unable to sit still on the stool. "Auntie, what on earth did you do outside?"

"Can it be so serious?"

What does Jiang Meishu say?

Can she tell Liang Rui, I am your fake mother?

I am not Jiang Meilan at all, I am Jiang Meishu.

This made everything go haywire. Jiang Meishu gritted her teeth and said, "Let me ask you, if this is truly a principled mistake, can your father forgive me?"

Liang Rui thought for a long time, then shook his head, "No."

"I'm absolutely certain that my dad can't do that. He's a man of integrity and a man of many principles. If it's truly a matter of principle."

Liang Rui's face was tense, and his tone became more serious. "By then, it's not certain whether you will still be my stepmother."

When Jiang Meishu heard this, her heart completely sank, "I understand."

Some are at a loss.

Liang Rui was really curious. He was determined to get to the bottom of it. "No, Jiang Meilan, what exactly did you lie to my dad about?"

Jiang Meishu, "Nothing."

She pushed Liang Rui out and said, "Let me think about it."

After locking Liang Rui outside, she reminded him again, "This is a secret between the two of us, don't tell anyone."

There are many little secrets between her and Liang Rui.

But now there is one more.

Liang Rui's curiosity was piqued, but Jiang Meishu didn't say anything, which made him anxious. When he came out, Liang's mother happened to come towards him after finishing her work. "Have you asked your stepmother? What happened?"

She was busy paying people at the time, so she had no time at all, which is why she asked Liang Rui to ask.

Liang Rui didn't dare to say that his stepmother had cheated on his father, and it was a matter of principle, so he said vaguely, "She just came back from her parents' home. Maybe something happened there. I asked her several times, but she didn't say anything, so I didn't ask anymore."

It’s really hard to talk about my mother’s family.

Liang's mother understood immediately, "Okay, go and do your work. Don't disturb your stepmother. Let her rest in peace."

I can only say that what Liang's mother did as a mother-in-law is really beyond reproach.

Jiang Meishu was also thinking about this. Since Liang Qiurun was a very principled person, if she was honest with Liang Qiurun, her marriage with Liang Qiurun would most likely be over.

Her sister Jiang Meilan was reluctant to give up this marriage.

Isn't she the same?

She also couldn't bear to give up this marriage. She couldn't bear to give up Lao Liang, and even more so, she couldn't bear to give up her mother-in-law, who was the best in the world.

Jiang Meishu was really upset and she rolled around on the bed.

Finally, after she had prepared herself mentally, she decided to confess.

She plans to confess to Lao Liang tonight!

Once she thought it through, Jiang Meishu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was no big deal. After all, whether she stuck her head out or hid it, she would still be in danger.

However, what surprised Jiang Meishu was that she had been waiting for Liang Qiurun to come back from 5pm until 12pm, but Liang Qiurun still didn't come back.

Later, Jiang Meishu was so sleepy that she fell asleep.

I really fell asleep.

Liang Qiurun came back from a one-month business trip and found that he had a lot of work piled up at the company, so he had to work overtime. If he had not been married before, he would definitely have slept at the company.

Going to sleep after finishing work and getting back to work after waking up was Liang Qiurun's usual routine. However, Liang Qiurun got married and had a wife.

He was clearly extremely busy, but once his mind stopped, it was filled with Jiang Meishu: her smile, her coquettishness, her gentleness, her anger, and her temper. Every frame flashed through his mind.

Liang Qiurun knew that he missed Jiang Meishu.

It was the kind of longing that made him miss her so much that it felt like a long time had passed since he last saw her. Every cell in his body was clamoring for her to see him, even if it was just once.

So, at half past twelve in the morning, Liang Qiurun did not call Secretary Chen who was sleeping in the duty room, but drove back to the Liang family alone.

By the time I got home, it was already one o'clock. Most people in the family were asleep, and the door was locked from the inside.

It can't be opened outside at all.

Liang Qiurun thought about it and looked at the high wall, and he had a very rebellious idea.

He wanted to climb over the wall and take a look at her.

It is hard to imagine that Liang Qiurun, who is almost 35 years old, would do such impulsive behavior of a young man.

Once he had this idea, Liang Qiurun climbed over the wall without any hesitation, stepping on the bricks and then jumping into the courtyard wall.

Almost in one go.

After standing still, Liang Qiurun looked at the high wall, shook his head with a wry smile, and on that handsome face there was a side that he himself could not believe.

Liang Qiurun has been following the rules for more than 30 years, but he actually climbed over the wall just to see his wife.

And he climbed over the wall of his own house.

He could have called for help, but he didn't. He just wanted to climb over the wall to take a look at her.

Liang Qiurun, who had never rebelled, had his own ideas at the age of 34. He seemed to want to do everything he had not done when he was young.

Liang Qiurun curled the corners of his mouth, identified the direction, and walked in the moonlight in the quiet courtyard to his and Jiang Meishu's bedroom.

Jiang Meishu deliberately left the door open to wait for Liang Qiurun that night. Liang Qiurun just pushed the door lightly and it opened. Jiang Meishu was sleeping so deeply to stay up late waiting for him that she didn't react when Liang Qiurun came in.

Liang Qiurun naturally saw her as well. She was lying quietly on the bed. Perhaps because she was sleeping alone, the quilt was not warm enough for her, so she curled up in it.

Only an overly fair and beautiful face was exposed.

All those thoughts, all those likes and longings, poured out at this moment. Liang Qiurun leaned against the bed, looking at her quietly, his eyes filled with a gentle smile.

Jiang Jiang.

His Jiang Jiang.

It makes people worry and think about it day and night.

Liang Qiurun looked at her, who was sleeping beside him with her clothes on, and his long arms around Jiang Meishu. At this moment, the emptiness in Liang Qiurun's heart was finally filled.

When Jiang Meishu woke up in the morning, it was already past eight o'clock. The sun shone in through the window. She opened her eyes and subconsciously raised her hands to block the sunlight.

It took her a while to react, and she first touched the edge of the bed.

The cold bed seemed to indicate that Liang Qiurun did not come back last night?

But that's not right.

Her feet were warm. When she slept alone, her feet were always cold when she woke up, unless she slept with Liang Qiurun. His body temperature was warm, and he would tuck her cold feet against his stomach to hold them.

Once she warms them up, her feet will stay warm all night.

Jiang Meishu murmured, "Is Lao Liang back?"

But why didn't she move at all?

It’s not Jiang Meishu’s fault. Liang Qiurun’s daily routine is really different from that of ordinary people.

He didn't get home until one in the evening and had already left home at five in the morning. This wasn't summer yet, it was winter, and with the New Year approaching, he was so busy that even going home to rest was a luxury. Not to mention being able to see his family.

Jiang Meishu thought about what happened yesterday, she sighed, and could only find time later.

After she came out of the shower, she saw Comrade Wang staring at the courtyard wall.

"What's wrong?"

Comrade Wang looked at the large footprints on the courtyard wall and asked, "Did anyone climb over the wall last night?"

In fact, this question was asked to Liang Rui and Liang Feng.

The two children looked at each other and shook their heads. "We cleaned all day yesterday and were exhausted that night, so we went to bed early. That's why we didn't climb over the wall."

this--

Comrade Wang went to see Uncle Lin again.

Uncle Lin waved his hand. "Look at my old bones. Do you think I can climb over a wall?"

No one admits it.

Comrade Wang was startled. "Then there was a thief in our house last night, and he even climbed over the wall to get in."

"Go check if there's anything missing from the house?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone realized the seriousness of the problem and went back to their rooms to look for things.

After they found out that nothing was missing, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Even though nothing was stolen, you still have to be careful. Thieves are rampant around the New Year. Don't let anyone climb over the wall to get in."

Everyone took this to heart.

Liang Qiurun had no idea that his impulsive action last night would become an unsolved case in his family.

Of course, he wouldn't say it on his own initiative because he really had to save face.

Liang Qiurun, who was in his thirties, wanted to see Jiang Meishu so much that he climbed over the wall of his house at night to see his young wife.

If this were said out loud, I'm afraid no one would believe it. On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Liang family had almost finished preparing the New Year's goods.

Liang Qiurun was still working overtime at the company. After working for almost 48 hours straight, even Liang Qiurun felt a little overwhelmed.

Secretary Chen looked anxious and said, "Leader, you should take a rest. We are busy."

It has almost never stopped since the leader came back from a business trip.

Liang Qiurun took a sip of strong tea. The strong tea was refreshing, and it also made his dull and aching brain slowly clear up.

He looked at the pile of documents on his desk and said, "I can't rest. There's only one day left."

Twenty-nine, thirty.

After the 30th, it will be the new year, and these documents need to be processed before the New Year. Once they are delayed until after the New Year, many departments will not be able to operate.

Secretary Chen also knew that Liang Qiurun couldn't stop at this time, and he couldn't handle these documents either. After filtering them, he could only give them to Liang Qiurun to handle.

So at this time, no one could help Liang Qiurun.

Thinking of this, Secretary Chen thought about it and wanted to make the leader more comfortable in other ways.

So Secretary Chen quietly retreated and went to the cafeteria first to eat the food.

The factory director received a separate subsidy, and Liang Qiurun received a special supply of two eggs and a bowl of soup every day.

Secretary Chen took the boiled eggs and saw that the pork rib soup was well cooked, so he filled a bowl with a small earthenware pot. However, these were the dishes he ate regularly, so Secretary Chen was not very satisfied.

He frowned slightly, knowing that it was not the chef's fault at this time, but it was the end of the year and everything was desolate, with vegetables becoming a rare commodity.

Thinking of this, Secretary Chen sighed and was about to leave the cafeteria with the food in his hand.

He was stopped by Chef Zhang, "Secretary Chen, Secretary Chen, I have a rare find. Do you want to send it to Director Liang?"

Secretary Chen stopped, carrying a lunch box. "What?"

Chef Zhang ran over with a small bowl and handed it over. "Strawberries."

"It's strawberries." He said excitedly, "When the farmer delivered something this morning, he said he found a strawberry plant near the hot spring behind our house with three fruits. Thinking it was a rarity, he sent it to our company cafeteria and asked if we wanted some. I thought they were so interesting, so I kept some."

After hearing this, Secretary Chen looked over and saw three big red strawberries lying at the bottom of the white porcelain bowl.

It's so beautiful.

Secretary Chen was immediately delighted. "Chef Zhang, your cooking is excellent. I'll tell Director Liang about it and then I'll give you a promotion!"

These people are all serving Liang Qiurun, if for no other reason than to make the hard-working Liang Qiurun's life a little better.

When Chef Zhang heard this, he was also excited, but he was more happy. "As long as it's useful, it's good."

"I heard that Director Liang has been working overtime all night long recently. Secretary Chen, you are close to him, so please give him some advice. Health is the most important thing. Don't take advantage of your youth and neglect your health."

Secretary Chen also knew about it, but there was nothing he could do.

He shook his head. "I can't persuade them. There's a mountain of work piling up. If the leaders don't do it, who will?"

Chef Zhang also sighed, thinking that Director Liang's job was really not easy and he worked really hard.

Secretary Chen carried the food and three big strawberries and went to the office.

Liang Qiurun came at six in the morning, and it was already twelve o'clock. He had been busy for six hours in a row. When he heard the noise, he looked over and saw that it was a food box.

He then said, "Put it aside and eat it after I'm done."

I'm not free now.

Secretary Chen smiled and said, "Boss, do you think I found something good?"

He handed over the white porcelain bowl as if he was offering a treasure.

Liang Qiurun took the opportunity to look over and saw three big red strawberries at the bottom of the bowl. He was stunned for a moment, "Strawberries?"

Secretary Chen hummed and handed the bowl over. "Yes, Chef Zhang said it was sent over when the farmers downstairs were cooking."

"He thought it was a rare item, so he kept it for you."

To be honest, there are not many fruits in winter, the weather is dry, and people are busy and upset. At this time, eating sour, sweet, and cool strawberries will make you feel more energetic.

Liang Qiurun was no exception. His Adam's apple rolled as he spoke, "Secretary Chen, could you please help me get Comrade Jiang over here?"

Secretary Chen was stunned for a moment, then instantly understood what Liang Qiurun meant. He opened his mouth and said, "Leader, you have been very hard-working during this period..." The implication was that these strawberries were for the comrades below, and he wanted to find a way to reward him.

Liang Qiurun smiled and said, "I am a grown man, but I am not interested in this fruit. Please help me take Comrade Jiang over. She loves these sweet and sour fruits."

As for why I took it over.

Because there weren't enough strawberries to eat when we sent them back.

Secretary Chen had a complicated expression on his face, but he finally agreed.

When Jiang Meishu was picked up by Secretary Chen, she was a little surprised. However, no matter how she asked Secretary Chen, he refused to answer.

She had no choice but to run to the factory director's office, "Lao Liang, Secretary Chen said you were looking for me?"

Liang Qiurun looked up, pushed aside the documents on his desk, and handed over a bowl. His brows were tired, and his tone was gentle, "I got three strawberries, and asked you to come over and try them."

Those three strawberries are still the same as they were when Secretary Chen left.

Jiang Meishu looked down. The bright red strawberries at the bottom of the white porcelain bowl were a bit dazzling. Her eyes felt sore and she murmured, "Lao Liang."

——If you knew that I lied to you like this, would you still be so nice to me?
