Chapter 100 Avoiding Suspicion with Him
"What's the word—"
"Yes, yes, that's abandoning your husband and children!"
The two of them were making faces at the side without hiding anything.
After Zhou Junheng got married, he obviously showed off his love in front of them. Aren’t they happy that he was "left behind" by his wife and left alone this time?
Even when Qiao Jinchen is not the CEO, he is still a good talk show host. He even shakes his head and imitates while speaking:
"'Xiao Ye is busy at noon today'——"
Before he could finish his words, he was elbowed and given a precise look:
"Don't shout in public."
Qiao Jinchen was in so much pain that he wanted to howl:
"Zhou Junheng, I want to call the anti-gangster and evil reporting hotline!"
"You're...taking revenge on someone personally! Absolutely taking revenge on someone personally!"
…
Inside a French restaurant.
The perfectly cut floor-to-ceiling windows are like a huge movie screen with clear lines. The dome seems to have calculated the tilt angle, everything is done for the sake of style. The world inside and outside the window is cut into two parallel time and space.
Under the coats and high heels, the urban white-collar workers still do not look bloated at all. They are still chatting and laughing, full of energy.
Only the occasional chill wind that ruffled their hair gave away the fact that it was winter.
Sometimes when I pass by, I find that the coffee in my hand is no longer iced coffee, but hot coffee, and the white steam is the best proof.
Shi Ye gently swayed the burgundy wine glass with her fingertips. The deep red wine flowed under the warm light, reflecting the cool metallic luster of the plain ring on her ring finger.
She took off her navy blue suit jacket and casually draped it over the back of the chair, revealing the silk ivory shirt underneath. Two buttons of her collar were undone, and the delicate and beautiful lines of her butterfly bones were faintly visible with the movement of her hands.
"But do you think we were able to control our emotions and expressions?"
Zhang Yameng poked the soufflé with a fork, and the cream collapsed at the same moment as she screamed.
"I don't know. I have no control at all."
She also slowly wiped off the lip gloss marks with a napkin.
"Besides, we're not Mona Lisa. If we have emotions, should we hang them on the wall instead of on our faces?" The latter sentence was added in a calm and natural tone, which made Zhang Yameng laugh again until her knife and fork trembled.
Of course, they didn't notice that five meters outside the window, the window of the black Maybach had already slowly lowered.
Zhou Junheng saw a familiar figure behind the glass——
His wife was leaning on one hand while listening to her friend's conversation. The shadow cast by her eyelashes on her cheek was gilded by the crystal chandelier, making her look very vivid.
Zhou Junheng was watching the wine glass shaking in her hand, her eyes full of joy at having a drink.
But I also know that she has her limits, so I shook my head helplessly. She is really a "drunkard"...
…
After being hit, Qiao Jinchen directly demonstrated on the spot what it means to remember the food but not the beating.
As soon as he got off the car, he ran over to say hello.
Of course, Chu Yanli is also indispensable.
Without either of them, the hand clapping would not make a sound.
Shi Qing and Zhou Junheng were standing behind him, looking at him to see what was going on.
Zhou Junheng spoke frankly: "I didn't make the appointment in time. When I sent the message, I just said I had an appointment."
Then, the two of them made a bet on the phone address to see if Zhou Junheng would change his name to call Shi Qing "brother-in-law".
Shi Qing didn't feel much sympathy for Zhou Junheng.
The top 'sister complex' absolutely all agreed, and it was obvious whether they favored the brother or the sister at this moment: "Are you going to implement a reservation system? That's great."
It is also a very casual tone, with a complete sense of "a full man does not know the hunger of a hungry man".
Zhou Junheng's heart choked, "Indeed."
"But I've already got a number for tomorrow."
Shi Qing: “?”
What is he proud of?
I don't know if I heard it correctly, but the last part of Zhou Junheng's sentence sounded inexplicably rising.
Shi Ye's fingertips were still gently stroking the wall of the wine glass. The condensed water droplets on the wall slid down her slender knuckles, forming a perfect circle on the linen tablecloth.
The lighting in the restaurant was just the right amount of soft, giving her features a gilded edge, making her look like an aristocrat stepping out of a classical oil painting.
The closer you get, the more amazing it will be.
Zhang Yameng suddenly stopped talking, and the silver fork was suspended in the air.
Shi Ye turned his head in the direction of her gaze, and saw four figures in suits walking towards their table, or to be more precise, they were almost there.
The father of the child who invited her to lunch and was rejected by her was also there...
Shi Ye's eyelashes trembled quickly, and after being surprised, he put the wine glass aside. The bottom of the glass made almost no sound when it touched the table.
Zhang Yameng naturally remembered Zhou Junheng because the bureau had recorded a promotional video for the Asian Games last time.
At that time, I was obsessed with his behavior and speech in front of the camera in Chinese and English for a long time.
But I only recognize this one.
She felt that the others looked familiar, but she was not sure...but the only thing she was sure of was:
She really wants to get to know the people around Zhou Junheng!
There is some truth to the saying that handsome guys hang out with handsome guys.
Qiao Jinchen was smiling as usual, and Shi Ye even felt that his smile was even bigger this time.
While he was still thinking about it for a second, Chu Yanli took the initiative to speak: "Sister-in-law, what a coincidence! We are coming to have lunch too."
A sentence is finished but not finished yet.
Qiao Jinchen had never changed his tone so smoothly since the last time he went to the club. He was also direct: "Good afternoon, sister-in-law."
He clearly called her "Sister Shi" last time!
And seeing that Shi Qing and Zhou Junheng had no awareness of introducing themselves, he wanted to "do it for them" the next second.
Shi Ye suddenly narrowed her eyes. She didn't dare to compliment Qiao Jinchen for "doing it for her".
It's normal for him to say something shocking.
"Good afternoon, are you guys coming over for lunch too? This is my colleague from the Culture and Tourism Bureau."
After saying that, he immediately began to introduce Zhang Yameng personally:
First, Chu Yanli and Qiao Jinchen:
"Yameng, these two are older brothers than me. Well... after we get married, I will be older than them."
Then it was Shi Qing: "This is my elder brother, the kind I love dearly."
Then of course there was Zhou Junheng, the last one who was just "perfunctorily" mentioned.
But in fact, he may not realize it at the time, and putting it at the end makes the implication of trying to cover up something even more obvious.
"This is Director Zhou from the Finance Bureau who was at our company last time filming. Um... Yameng, you still remember me, right? If you do, I won't say much."
In fact, Zhang Yameng didn't even have the chance to answer "remember or not remember" at all.
But he still nodded at Tokiya's introduction, nodding subconsciously.
She wouldn't be so stunned and at a loss as to what to do when she saw a handsome guy...
After the introduction, Shi Ye also thought about their lunch in detail.
"It's getting late. Director Zhou, you must have been busy all morning. It's really a coincidence that we meet in the restaurant. But our place is really too small. Please find a seat. Then I'll treat you to lunch."
Qiao Jinchen was about to say something about sharing a table, but before he could even utter a word, Zhou Junheng shot him a glare that killed him in the cradle.
It's even more aggrieved.
All the energy he had to protect his wife was gone from him...
Okay, he shuts up.
But before shutting up, he still finished with a final word: "Sister-in-law, you're joking. You don't have to treat us to a meal. We just came over to say hello. You guys eat~ You guys eat~ If you really let you treat us, then you're a gigolo."
