Chapter 238

Meishu, Jiang Meishu.

When this name came out, Jiang Meishu was more shocked.

The same goes for Jiang Meilan.

Seeing that both of them were staring at him, Shen Zhanlie felt a little embarrassed, but of course he was more at ease.

It was also at this moment that Shen Zhanlie completely let go and met Jiang Meishu.

Only then did Shen Zhanlie dare to call out Jiang Meishu's name so frankly.

He once had a crush on someone when he was young, but after getting married and having a wife and children, he found that he cared more about his wife and children.

Those youthful loves also slowly fade away with the passage of time.

That's why he was able to call out the other person's name in front of Jiang Meishu and Jiang Meilan.

Jiang Meishu lowered her head, hiding the emotion in her eyes. She was truly happy, a smile spreading across her face. She said sincerely, "Sister, brother-in-law, I wish you a lifetime of happiness."

The call of "brother-in-law" came too late.

It was the first time Jiang Meilan and Shen Zhanlie shouted after many years of marriage.

Shen Zhanlie didn't feel embarrassed, only relieved. He looked at Jiang Meishu and whispered, "Thank you."

The love of youth is ultimately no match for the company of a wife and daughter in life.

At this moment, in Shen Zhanlie's heart, Jiang Meilan and Shen Xiaoju are the most important people in his life.

Jiang Meilan also laughed. She didn't know why she laughed, but she just felt relaxed.

She has always felt guilty, guilty for having snatched away her sister's marriage and guilty for having deceived Shen Zhanlie.

She was also afraid that Shen Zhanlie would regret knowing the truth and turn against her.

Fortunately, he didn't.

In a marriage, if there is calculation before the beginning of the relationship, then after entering into the marriage, there is full of sincerity, companionship, and love.

Jiang Meilan thought that after the fruits of her calculations came to fruition, she gained the other party's recognition, calmness and preference.

That's enough.

When Shen Zhanlie said this, he was holding Jiang Meilan's hand tightly.

At this moment, the two of them were one.

Jiang Meishu looked at their hands that wanted to shake, pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister, I know you two are in love, but please don't show off your affection in front of me."

Jiang Meilan felt a little embarrassed and wanted to let go, but Shen Zhanlie held Jiang Meilan's hand tightly and refused to let go.

"Meishu, if you trust me, I'll give you a suggestion."

At this time, Shen Zhanlie was no longer clumsy or honest, but rather showed some determination.

Maybe this is the Shen Zhanlie outside.

Jiang Meishu was stunned for a moment, "You say."

"I suggest you confess to Director Liang."

"At the end of our marriage, we will all cherish the person in front of us."

Because long-term companionship and love are brought by the person in front of you, not the youthful love you had at the beginning, or a strange name.

Jiang Meishu bit her lip and said, "Let me think about it."

Liang Qiurun and Shen Zhanlie are different. Shen Zhanlie can always give in for the sake of his sister Jiang Meilan.

But Liang Qiurun is not like that. Jiang Meishu knows Liang Qiurun's principles better than anyone else, and she also knows better than anyone else how much Liang Qiu hates deception.

Seeing Jiang Meishu silent.

Shen Zhanlie didn't say much. At their level, most people would just stop at the right time.

Jiang Meishu is to him.

Shen Zhanlie feels the same way towards Jiang Meishu.

When Jiang Meishu left here, she was completely distraught. When she returned, Liang Qiurun was not at home. She was busy with her mother's family affairs during this period, and Liang Qiurun went to Pengcheng.

After the land over there was auctioned off, they returned to their hometown in the capital, and the things here were left alone.

And things had been accumulating for more than a month, so Liang Qiurun basically settled his mother and Uncle Lin in Yangcheng.

He went to Pengcheng alone first.

Seeing Jiang Meishu coming back, Liang's mother was wearing a scarlet velvet skirt, which looked particularly elegant and luxurious. This was specially made for her by Uncle Lin when he saw some new materials in Yangcheng.

Even at her age, Liang's mother still loves beauty. After the skirt was finished, she couldn't help but wear it, "Xiao Jiang."

She was about to come over to discuss with Jiang Meishu when she saw that her face was pale and her eyes were frightened.

Mother Liang swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. She took Jiang Meishu's hand, sat at a newly built stone table in the courtyard, and asked softly, "What happened?"

When she asked this, Jiang Meishu finally came back to her senses. She subconsciously denied it, "No."

But her expression couldn't lie.

"Can't you talk to Mom?" Liang's mother has been in much better spirits since she saw the doctor. In addition, she has changed to a new environment. Here, it is spring all year round. She can wear beautiful skirts and eat fresh vegetables in winter. This has made her whole spirit better.

So even the questions were gentle.

Jiang Meishu hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Mom, if I did something to deceive Qiu Run, but I don't dare to tell him."

"What do you think I should do now?"

this--

Liang's mother smiled and said, "Is it a matter of principle?"

Jiang Meishu shook her head and nodded.

"Infidelity? Murder for money?"

"No."

"Xiao Jiang," Liang's mother said meaningfully, "You don't know how important you are to Qiu Run. Let me be frank. If you really cheated on him, even my Qiu Run would hesitate and wonder if he'd leave you."

"After she was sure she couldn't bear to leave, she even wanted to compete with that wild man outside for the position of the eldest wife."

Jiang Meishu, "..."

Jiang Meishu was originally very nervous and sad, but after being teased by Liang's mother, she felt like laughing.

But when I thought about what I had hidden, I couldn't laugh.

You can see that she is very conflicted.

"Is it inconvenient to say?"

Liang's mother asked her in a low voice.

Jiang Meishu hummed, "I don't know how to say it."

"Since he hasn't cheated on his wife, committed any crimes, or committed murder or arson, and there aren't any issues of principle involved, then I'll just lie to him."

Liang's mother is very open-minded about this kind of thing. "Some people are happy even if they can lie for a lifetime."

My mind has been opened up.

Jiang Meishu's inner confusion suddenly cleared up, "Mom, I understand."

Let her find an opportunity, and speak if she can, and not if she can't.

She lied to Liang Qiurun for her whole life!

Wait until he is in his seventies or eighties, when he is very old, when he is about to get into the coffin!

Liang Qiurun, who was far away in Shenzhen, had been enduring for three days.

Jiang Meishu didn't come, so he did the work of three people. He had originally bought two pieces of land, and the one in Houjie was used to build his Hongtai branch factory.

As for the Xiaodongmen segment shot by Jiang Meishu and Qiao Jiahui, Qiao Jiahui was unreliable because Jiang Meishu was not there.

In the end, this piece of land fell into Liang Qiurun's hands.

Therefore, he wished he could split himself into three people to do the work.

He was even thinking about whether he should just ask Secretary Chen to come over for help, because compared to Secretary Chen, the new Director Yang was really difficult to use.

There was a lack of tacit understanding between the two sides that had built up over the years.

It can only be said that it is still in the running-in period.

So, when Liang Qiurun saw the document brought by Director Yang, he broke it down into parts and taught him bit by bit.

"I categorize the documents and put those that require my signature aside, those I'm not in a hurry to sign at the back, and those I'm hesitant about signing in the middle."

Director Yang said with an embarrassed look, "Leader, I'll remember this next time."

Liang Qiurun hummed and looked through the documents. "The land for the Hongtai branch factory has been approved, and all the procedures have been completed."

"Now find an architect in this field to draw up a blueprint for the branch factory. Once the blueprint is finalized, show it to me. Also, contact the local police station, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, the Tax Bureau, the Fire Department, and the Inspection Office in Houjie."

These were Director Yang's blind spots. He just looked at Liang Qiurun blankly and said, "Leader, we are building a factory. Why do we have to go to so many units?"

Liang Qiurun pinched his brows and said, "Old Yang, you have to understand the principle that food and supplies should be sent before troops move."

"If you don't take good care of these units, how can you run the factory?"

Director Yang was a little confused.

"Let's do this first. List the heads of these units clearly. Also, schedule a time with them, and I'll visit them one by one."

Director Yang quickly took out a notebook and started taking notes.

Looking at him like this, Liang Qiurun didn't say anything.

But afterwards, Director Yang took the initiative to find Secretary Chen and said, "Secretary Chen, help me! I'm new to being a secretary for my boss and I don't understand a lot of things. How about you give me two days of training to see what specific areas I need to improve in order to be a qualified secretary for my boss?"

Secretary Chen felt extremely jealous when he heard this.

"You are so lucky. My boss actually chose you as his secretary."

"He is really--" He was too embarrassed to say the words "blind". It was really disrespectful to the leader if he said them.

Finally, Secretary Chen managed to utter a few words, "I'm jealous of you!"

Compared to this lousy factory director, he would rather be a secretary to the leader.

Director Yang didn't dare to say a word. "Secretary Chen, being a secretary is difficult for me too. I can't keep up with the leader's thinking."

Usually, the leader has said a lot, but he still hasn't reacted.

Secretary Chen said, "You definitely can't keep up. I've been practicing with my boss for fifteen years, and that's how we have this tacit understanding today."

He pulled out a thick, worn black notebook from a drawer and said, "Take this and read it. This is what I've learned from working as a secretary for my boss for many years."

"From the big things like the leader's code of conduct to the small things like when the leader eats, drinks water, and goes to the bathroom."

"Take it all home and memorize it. Write all of this down. If you can't be an excellent secretary, you'll at least be qualified."

Director Yang took the notebook and carefully put it in his arms. "Can't I be a good secretary?"

Secretary Chen rolled his eyes. "Just you?"

"Don't even think about it in this life."

"Old Yang, remember this: the only outstanding secretary for your leader in this life is me—Chen Zhen."

Secretary Chen was not joking when he said this; he was telling the truth.

In order to be a good secretary to Liang Qiurun, he wanted to be on call 24 hours a day so that Liang Qiurun could eat more when he was busy with work.

He can search for ingredients everywhere and cook just to make the food more delicious for the leader.

These are not only for the sake of humanity, but also for the sincerity.

Secretary Chen was completely sincere to Liang Qiurun. In other words, he was not even so attentive to his own wife and children.

Director Yang was ashamed after hearing this. "If you put it that way, I'm not sure if I can be a good secretary anymore."

Secretary Chen said casually, "Just study slowly. When you learn enough, you will naturally learn it."

He said it lightly, but for Director Yang, it was indeed a huge pressure and challenge.

After he returned with Secretary Chen's unique skills, he studied them over and over again.

On the other side, after Liang Qiurun finished his busy work, he returned home, which was his and Jiang Meishu’s small home in Pengcheng.

In order to have the advantage of being close to the water, he deliberately chose to live in the staff quarters of the investment promotion office.

The family compound is a new tube-shaped building built in recent years. The building is still quite new, and every household has a dim yellow light on.

Because it was night, the sisters-in-law in the family compound all took their vegetables and washed them in the public washroom.

When Section Chief Li's wife, Meng Juan, saw Liang Qiurun coming back, she washed her hands and walked to the stairs to ask Liang Qiurun, "Director Liang, when will your wife, Comrade Jiang, be back?"

Suddenly, I heard someone outside asking about my wife.

Liang Qiurun was a little dazed. He loosened his collar and said slowly, "Maybe in the next few days."

"That's good."

Meng Juan smiled and said, "I also pointed to Comrade Jiang coming over and discussing something with her then."

Liang Qiurun was not a talkative person. He didn't ask anything, just nodded and left the bathroom.

He was wearing a black suit, was tall, had a straight face, and was meticulous. Even when he passed by the bathroom, he looked straight ahead, very tall and handsome.

As soon as he left, the sisters-in-law in the public bathroom were shocked. "Every time Director Liang passed by here, I thought he looked like an actor in a movie."

"Me too. If he wasn't married, I would have wanted to introduce my sister to him."

"I don't think you want to be introduced to him by a girl. You want to be ten years younger and marry him."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other party felt embarrassed.

"Yes, I do have this thought. I just don't believe that you don't have this thought when facing a male Bodhisattva like this?"

Compared to the middle-aged, short, thick-headed man in my family, Director Liang is obviously more beautiful and more pleasing to the eye.

Seeing that the dirty jokes were getting more and more outrageous, Meng Juan interrupted them, "Okay, stop talking nonsense."

"Director Liang has a lover, her name is Jiang Meilan."

"Don't let anyone hear it, it won't be good."

Not many people have seen Jiang Meishu. When Jiang Meishu first came to the family compound, although she visited homes, she only visited a few families, and in many of them, only children were at home.

Later, she became busy and basically went out early and came back late, so naturally she missed the time with these sisters-in-law.

When Meng Juan mentioned Jiang Meishu, Mrs. Zhu beside her suddenly became curious, "You said Director Liang gave birth to someone as beautiful as jade, so is his wife beautiful?"

Is it beautiful?

Meng Juan was a little dazed. She thought of the scene when she first met Jiang Meishu. It was something she would never forget.

Jiang Meishu was standing at the door of their house. She was thin, with a fair complexion, delicate features, and picturesque eyebrows and eyes. But the most outstanding thing about her was her temperament. Just standing there, she was smiling, like a painting.

Seeing Meng Juan didn't say anything.

Mrs. Zhu was curious, "Is Comrade Jiang not good-looking?"

Meng Juan shook her head and pursed her lips. "No, you'll know when she comes."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became curious.

Next door on the third floor.

Liang Qiurun unlocked the room with a click. The room was dark. He fumbled to turn on the light, which immediately illuminated every corner of the room.

The house is not big, but it is warmly decorated.

His eyes swept over the windows, the table, the wall, and even the dry branches in the vase.

These were all arranged bit by bit when Jiang Meishu was here.

However, since they left a few years ago, this place has become completely empty.

Liang Qiurun just came here last week. He is not a romantic person, so the house has always remained in its original state.

Liang Qiurun walked to the wall, stretched out his slender fingers, picked up a calendar, drew a circle on it with a pen and paper, and muttered, "The eighth day."

This is the eighth day since Jiang Meishu left him.

There was no trace of her in the entire room, which made Liang Qiurun, who was always known for his calmness, feel a little annoyed.

He touched his pocket and then remembered that Jiang Meishu didn't like the smell of cigarettes and he had quit smoking a long time ago.

No cigarettes, no work.

Liang Qiurun sat in a chair in a daze, looking at the neatly made bed with the mauve plum blossom sheets that Jiang Meishu liked.

He could even remember the two of them hugging happily on the bed sheets.

Liang Qiurun walked silently to the bed, took off his coat, and then slowly lay down.

Only when they were in bed, his keen sense of smell could catch the faintest scent of Jiang Meishu.

This is enough, but not enough.

Liang Qiurun wanted to call back to Yangcheng several times, but she finally held back.

She has her own things to do.

Liang Qiurun told himself that he couldn't be too clingy to her, or she would be unhappy.

but.

He missed her a little.

That silent longing invaded every inch of his bones.

Ten thirty in the evening.

Jiang Meishu finally arrived in Pengcheng. After dealing with her sister's affairs during the day, she went back to settle Liang's mother and the others.

After assessing Liang Lanxiang and making sure she was fine, he rushed to Pengcheng.

Eleven o'clock at night.

The entire compound was silent, and almost every room was dark. Only a sliver of light still shone near the window on the third floor.

Jiang Meishu frowned slightly, "Old Liang, you're still awake at this hour?"

But that’s not the case. Since leaving the meat processing plant, Liang Qiurun is no longer an overtime worker. He has always maintained a very healthy work and rest schedule.

Jiang Meishu carried her luggage and climbed the stairs to the third floor, feeling exhausted.

While standing at the door to catch her breath, she knocked on the door. The last time she left, she didn't bring her key because she was too lazy to do so.

So I can only knock on the door now.

Liang Qiurun, who was sleeping soundly on the bed in the house, was stunned for a moment when he heard the knock on the door outside. Then, he reached the door opening at a speed never seen before in his life.

The door opened, and the person I had been thinking about day and night was right in front of me.

This made Liang Qiurun feel unreal, "Jiang Jiang?"

In the darkness, he looked down at her, his voice hoarse and full of disbelief.

Jiang Meishu lifted the brim of her hat, revealing a pair of overly bright eyes. "What? Don't you recognize me?"

"Or do you have a mistress hidden in your house? You won't let me in?"

The voice was also smiling and a little sweet.

Just when Jiang Meishu was thinking, let’s see how you, Liang Qiurun, answer.

The next moment, without giving her a chance to react, Liang Qiurun pulled her into his arms. Jiang Meishu was stunned, and a shadow fell on her head.

There was warmth on my lips.

Liang Qiurun's breath instantly enveloped her.

This made Jiang Meishu a little confused. She subconsciously raised her hand to push Liang Qiurun and said, "Lao Liang, this is at the door."

"At the door!"

She emphasized, but unfortunately, before she could make a sound, she was swallowed by Liang Qiurun.

He was like a wolf, aggressively invading every inch of her skin.

I wish I could tear her apart and eat her stomach.

Jiang Meishu was having difficulty breathing due to the kiss. She raised her hand to push him away, but Liang Qiurun caught her with his backhand. He held her in his arms and sat astride his waist.

Jiang Meishu subconsciously wanted to say that the door was not closed and the things had not been brought in.

Liang Qiurun reacted faster than her. He freed one hand to pull in the luggage and closed the door almost in one go.

The next moment, Jiang Meishu was lowered a few inches and pressed against the door. Liang Qiurun tilted his head, supported his arms on her shoulders, and kissed her like that.

The kiss was fierce and fierce, with a hint of longing and fishing nets.

Jiang Meishu tried to dodge in panic, but Liang Qiurun didn't give her a chance to dodge and just picked her up sideways.

He strode to the bedside and their eyes met.

There was a hint of shyness in Jiang Meishu's eyes, and her pair of clear black eyes seemed to not know where to look.

Liang Qiurun chuckled, "Jiang Jiang, don't you dare look at me?"

Jiang Meishu lost her temper, "Who said I don't dare look at you?" She looked up at him, but the next second, she couldn't stand the teasing and aggression in Liang Qiurun's eyes. She finally gave in and shouted by name, "Liang Qiurun, don't look at me like that."

Liang Qiurun then put her on the bed. He then lay down beside her, staring at her, and said in a hoarse voice, "Sit on it."

"Where do you sit?"

Jiang Meishu blushed and pointed to where he stood up, "Are you sitting here?"

Liang Qiurun remained silent.

The air suddenly became quiet.

After a long while, Liang Qiurun smiled and said in a gentle tone, "I don't object."

Jiang Meishu also realized that she had misunderstood, and immediately glared at him angrily, "Lao Liang, you are teasing me."

Liang Qiurun smiled and patted the bedside, "Sit by the bed and I'll give you a massage."

He could see that she was very tired.

Jiang Meishu then realized that she had made a mistake. She lay down with a red face, and Liang Qiurun turned around to loosen her shoulders.

His technique was very professional, and Jiang Meishu's tired shoulders were quickly relieved.

"What have you been doing these days? Why are the muscles around your shoulders so tense?"

Jiang Meishu sighed and whispered, "I live with my mom. I can't always watch her move goods. The same goes for my own stall. Sometimes Cuiqin and Xiaoxu are too busy, so I go and help."

All the work I did was physical labor.

Liang Qiurun, "Don't do this kind of work next time. Call Secretary Chen to help."

Jiang Meishu was embarrassed. "He's not Secretary Chen anymore, he's Director Chen. How can I use him?"

Liang Qiurun's hand lightened a little.

Gradually, the people became quiet.

Jiang Meishu didn't get an answer, so she turned her head and saw that Liang Qiurun was actually sleeping on top of her.

This surprised Jiang Meishu. She wanted to get up, but Liang Qiurun was pressing her very tightly, so she could only turn over slightly.

"Lao Liang?"

She shouted three times in a row but there was no response.

Jiang Meishu simply turned sideways and slowly pulled herself away. With the help of the light, she saw the dark blue on Liang Qiurun's eyelids.

It's obvious that he's been exhausted during this period.

Jiang Meishu's heart also softened. She raised her hand to stroke Liang Qiurun's temples and whispered, "Go to sleep if you're tired."

Liang Qiurun still didn't move.

Jiang Meishu touched his face and relaxed his brows, "Are you really asleep?"

"Then I'm going to tell you a secret."

Still no movement.

Jiang Meishu couldn't tell if he was asleep or just pretending to be asleep. She made up her mind and took his hand and held it, "Liang Qiurun, let's get to know each other again. I'm not Jiang Meilan."

"I am—Jiang Meishu"
