Chapter 42 Chapter 42 The Third Drawing
When he heard that Che Wanting had returned to China, Zhan Shengguang became eager to make a move.
He sent Qiao Zhizhi away, then remembered what Qiao Zhizhi had said about the class reunion. He found Lian Jiao's class monitor and asked about Che Wanting.
The squad leader was distressed: "Brother Zhan, why are you asking Che Wanting? Aren't you going to marry Lian Jiao?"
Zhan Shengguang: "Let me ask, how long has she been back home?"
Although the squad leader thought Zhan Shengguang was mentally ill, he still said, "I heard it's been a week. We talked a little last time."
He was afraid that Lian Jiao would come back to trouble him, so he hurriedly said, "Brother Zhan, don't say it was me who said it. What if Lian Jiao finds out..."
Zhan Shengguang: "That's definitely not the case. Do you have Che Wanting's current cell phone number?"
The squad leader cursed in his heart, but he had to put on a warm smile and said gently: "Hey, Brother Zhan, aren't you making it difficult for me?"
Zhan Shengguang quickly made up his mind: "Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. My company is going to organize a team building recently. If you are willing--"
He stopped talking, and the squad leader struggled for a moment before deciding to take on this big order.
He sent Che Wanting's phone number to Zhan Shengguang, and then said, "Don't tell Che Wanting and Lian Jiao that it was me who gave it to you. I really can't stand it if two beautiful women scold me together."
Zhan Shengguang: "Don't worry, I can't be without this tacit understanding!"
The squad leader thought to himself, what on earth do you, a person with bubbles in your brain, want to do? How can a normal person like me know?
＊
Zhan Shengguang contacted Che Wanting.
The call was connected, and he immediately recognized Che Wanting's voice on the phone.
He was a little nervous and hesitated for a while before saying, "Wanting, it's me."
Che Wanting said in a calm tone: "Who are you?"
A male voice was heard on the phone.
"Who are you calling? Hurry up and leave. Haven't you finished your makeup yet? It's been an hour. Don't put on any makeup. You'll look good even without it..."
Che Wanting said softly to the man, "Don't rush me. Don't you know that women can't be rushed? Go and wait for me. How can I go out without makeup?"
Zhan Shengguang felt itchy inside after hearing her sweet words. When Che Wanting asked again who it was, he said, "It's me, Zhan Shengguang."
The phone was hung up with a click.
Zhan Shengguang made several phone calls and sent text messages to apologize before he started chatting with Che Wanting.
Finally, the two of them made an appointment to meet.
Zhan Shengguang was filled with passion. He opened his closet and thought about what to wear so that he would match Che Wanting.

Pei Qing saw Lian Jiao again and looked at her for a long time.
Lian Jiao wore a light green silk dress today, which had a smooth drape. She wore a pearl necklace around her neck and carried a new U bag. She looked gentle and bright.
Lian Jiao noticed Pei Qing's gaze and became suspicious. She looked at her outfit and asked, "What's wrong with what I'm wearing today?"
Pei Qing shook his head: "No."
She didn't ask in a roundabout way, but asked directly: "I heard that five years ago, Zhan Shengguang's girlfriend sent her aborted fetus to the Teng family..."
When she heard about five years ago, Lian Jiao's body stiffened, but when Pei Qing mentioned "miscarriage", she relaxed again.
Lian Jiao touched the hair beside her ears and said, "This... is Zhan Shengguang's ex-girlfriend. She did it. This woman is too crazy."
Pei Qing asked, "What was the name of Zhan Shengguang's ex-girlfriend?"
Lian Jiao's expression was stiff: "Hey, why are you asking this? It's all in the past——"
She looked at Pei Qing carefully again: "I heard that the Zhan family has solved this matter..."
Pei Qing: "I'm curious."
She looked at Lian Jiao, waiting for her answer.
Although Pei Qing looked calm, Lian Jiao detected a hint of displeasure in her eyes.
She was afraid of angering Pei Qing, so she said, "It's Che Wanting, that crazy woman."
Lian Jiao kept saying, "She wanted to get married, but Zhan Shengguang wanted to form an alliance with the Teng family, so it was impossible for him to marry her. So she beat the child and sent it to the woman from the Teng family."
Pei Qing: "So what people say about you snatching a man from Che Wanting is false?"
Lian Jiao nodded immediately: "Of course, where did you hear this from?"
She adjusted her expression and smiled quickly.
"Zhan Shengguang and Che Wanting had a falling out, and I ended up getting together with Zhan Shengguang later."
Pei Qing: "Oh, really?"
She looked at Lian Jiao closely, making Lian Jiao's hair stand on end.
Pei Qingcai turned around and said, "Let's go."
Fu Chen had been waiting on the roadside in his car for a long time. He saw Lian Jiao and Pei Qing talking on the roadside and had not come over yet, so he wanted to call them to ask.
As soon as my hand touched the phone, Pei Qing and Lian Jiao came over one after another.
She felt that the atmosphere between the two was strange, and just as she was about to ask, she saw Lian Jiao looking at her.
With years of tacit understanding, Fu Chen didn't ask any questions and just drove silently.
Lian Jiao's heart was in turmoil, wondering where Pei Qing had heard about this.
Didn’t this matter get out of hand?
She felt hot and opened the car window a crack.
It was quiet and speechless all the way.
When they arrived at the farm, Lian Jiao was about to open the car door when she heard Pei Qing ask, "Che Wanting didn't marry Zhan Shengguang, so how can you be sure that Zhan Shengguang will marry you?"
Pei Qing felt relieved instantly after asking this. It turned out that it was better to be direct with these people.
Lian Jiao's expression tightened.
"Of course Sheng Guang will marry me..."
Pei Qing: "Oh, really?"
She nodded thoughtfully.
"I think you should give up as soon as possible. People like Zhan Shengguang——"
She shook her head: "He can't."
After saying that, Pei Qing opened the other door and got out of the car.
As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Xu An's car parked in the parking space designated by the farm.
Liu Ji was standing next to him and the two were talking.
We have known each other since childhood, and even though we haven't seen each other for a long time, the familiarity is still there.
Pei Qing walked a few steps to Xu An's car.
Xu An glanced at the two women who got off the car after Pei Qing and asked Pei Qing, "What's going on? Those two women look so bad."
Pei Qing: "I just told Lian Jiao to give up as soon as possible. Zhan Shengguang will never marry her."
Xu An: "You are really direct. Didn't the woman refute it?"
Pei Qing: "She doesn't dare."
She had spent a lot of time with Zhan Shengguang's women these days and had a good understanding of their personalities.
Liu Ji leaned his back against the car and yawned.
Pei Qing asked him: "Are you sleepy? What did you do last night?"
Liu Ji said nonchalantly: "Playing games, don't worry, it won't delay your work, I've brought the medical kit."
He originally thought that Pei Qing was looking for him on purpose, and when he saw Xu An, he became even more certain that Pei Qing was looking for him for something.
There is no answer to this question, so just do as Pei Qing asks.
The three of them, along with Lian Jiao and Fu Chen, walked into the farm together.
The farm is large and spacious, with clouds floating in the distance and golden light flashing.
Xu An reserved three empty rooms in advance. He said to Pei Qing, "Maybe we have to stay here for a day. If it's too late, we can stay overnight."
Pei Qing said to him: "You are so relaxed."
Xu An: "It's not easy to get a vacation, you should keep a close eye on Lian Jiao later."
Pei Qing: "Of course."
She pulled Liu Ji to her side.
Liu Ji heard Pei Qing say, "Lian Jiao might get into trouble today."
Liu Ji suddenly realized: "I knew you had no good intentions towards me. Got it, got it. I will definitely follow you with my medicine box."
Pei Qing praised him: "You are on the right track."
Liu Ji took the opportunity to make a request: "Go and talk to my dad and ask him to stop caring about me."
Pei Qing: "This is what you did wrong. You eat and drink at Uncle Liu's expense, but you don't want to be controlled by him. Learn from me. If my brother says go east, I will never go west. If you spend other people's money, you have to be controlled by them."
Liu Ji: “Heh.”
＊
Lian Jiao quickly walked into the courtyard rented by the squad leader.
The courtyard was kept very clean, and a small rockery was built with water flowing under it.
Further to the side, there are clusters of pink and red flowers, which are interspersed among the green leaves and overlap with each other, appearing staggered and well-arranged.
Fu Chen and Lian Jiao walked to the edge of the rockery, and a few red flowers were blown by the wind and fell on them.
Fu Chen said to Lian Jiao: "The environment is nice."
Lian Jiao sniffed it and asked, "What's that smell?"
Fu Chen: "Does it smell?"
She moved her nose but didn't smell anything.
“I didn’t smell it.”
Lian Jiao: "Do you have a cold?"
Fu Chen: "Hmm? A little bit. The air conditioner was too stuffy last night, so I opened the window for some fresh air. My throat was a little dry and sore when I woke up this morning."
After she said that, Lian Jiao also felt that something was wrong with her throat.
Fu Chen: "You must have been blown by the wind just now. I didn't dare to say anything just now. Why did Pei Qing suddenly say those words to you?"
Lian Jiao looked annoyed: "Who knows! I don't know who was so idle as to bring up something that happened five years ago!"
Fu Chen: "Five years ago? That's—" Lian Jiao: "Yes, it's about Che Wanting's miscarriage! She asked me about it. Why didn't she ask Zhan Shengguang? If he hadn't said—"
Before he could finish his words, a strange man came over and asked the two to stay away.
Lian Jiao glanced at him and found that he came with Pei Qing, so she didn't say much.
Fu Chen asked, "Handsome guy, what's wrong?"
Liu Ji: "This is oleander, stay away from it."
Fu Chen quickly pulled Lian Jiao away: "Isn't this red?"
Liu Ji thought they had no common sense: "Oleander has five colors: red, yellow, orange, white and pink. Remember to wash your hands after touching it and don't eat it."
Fu Chen: "Okay, okay."
She pulled Lian Jiao out again: "Let's stay away from her."
After dealing with the two women, Liu Jicai walked back to Pei Qing.
Pei Qing looked at Oleander and asked him, "If you accidentally eat this, will you die?"
Liu Ji: "Normally not. Isn't it stupid to talk about toxicity without considering the dosage? We can't rule out the possibility that someone unlucky enough to have a poor constitution may fall into a coma or have their heart affected after being poisoned. It's possible that this will happen. Just stay away from it."
Pei Qing: “Oh.”
She stared at Oleander and asked the monitor of Lian Jiao's class who chose the place for the class reunion.
The monitor didn't know her, but knew Lian Jiao. When he saw her follow Lian Jiao in, he assumed she was Lian Jiao's friend and said, "Everyone voted for her."
Pei Qing: “Really?”
The monitor nodded, and saw a few more students coming in through the door, leaving Pei Qing behind to say hello.
Pei Qing turned around to look for Che Wanting, but after looking around, he found that Che Wanting had not come yet.
She went to look for Lian Jiao again and found that Lian Jiao and Fu Chen were talking to Lu Nian.
Pei Qing saw the photos of Lu Nian and Che Wanting last time.
Lu Nian was thinner than in the photo and looked haggard.
Pei Qing looked at the atmosphere among the three of them. It seemed that Fu Chen was the one talking all the time, trying hard to act as a bridge between Lian Jiao and Lu Nian.
This job is really a thankless job.
She took a look and felt that Lian Jiao would be fine for the time being.
Xu An came over with the menu given by the boss.
He first glanced at Lian Jiao and saw that she had no expression on her face. He then said to Pei Qing, "Why does she look so reluctant? If she doesn't want to come to the class reunion, who can force her to come?"
Pei Qing glanced at the menu, took the pen from his hand and ticked a few items, then said, "Waiting for Che Wanting, I think we're supposed to meet at 11 o'clock, and it's almost 12 o'clock, and Che Wanting hasn't arrived yet."
Xu An: "My current girlfriend is waiting for my ex-girlfriend. What does she mean?"
Liu Ji snorted: "Don't try to guess what a woman is thinking."
Pei Qing put down his pen and stared at the two men in front of him.
Xu An: "Well, I'll ask the boss to prepare it."
He took the opportunity to run away. Since Pei Qing and Liu Ji were here, nothing serious would happen.
Once he left, only Liu Ji was left.
Liu Ji touched his nose and said, "Let's find a place to sit. What's the point of just waiting?"
Pei Qing looked at Lian Jiao who was standing away from Oleander and asked him to move two rattan chairs in the yard over.
"Just sit here. This is a good location. You can see Lian Jiao and the sun won't shine on you."
Liu Ji went to move the rattan chair.
Pei Qing continued to look at Lian Jiao.
Perhaps it was because Lian Jiao was interrupted by Pei Qing when she got off the car just now, and she felt uncomfortable, so she didn't take the initiative to look for Pei Qing.
Pei Qing was enjoying his leisure time, but also worried.
She couldn't determine the cause of Lian Jiao's death in her drawing, so she could only be on high alert and be very careful about anything that was even slightly toxic.
The monitor of Lian Jiao's class waited for a while. There were already more than a dozen people standing in the yard. He began to organize people to set up a barbecue stall. The boss sent over a bunch of seafood and iced drinks.
Lian Jiao took a few bites and waited for two hours, but Che Wanting didn't show up.
She walked straight to the monitor and asked, "Isn't Che Wanting here?"
The monitor looked calm: "Not yet, I just asked, and she didn't reply to me."
Lian Jiao's blood boiled: "Is she kidding me?"
If Che Wanting wasn't coming, why would she come to this farm.
The monitor felt guilty and quickly comforted her: "Alas, the road may be blocked. This time is the time for work in the afternoon."
Some other classmates couldn't stand Lian Jiao and said, "Maybe Che Wanting was originally going to come, but she didn't want to come anymore after you came. I think you are the same. You have graduated for so many years, and you still want to compete with Che Wanting."
She said sarcastically, "Didn't you win the fight? Why are you still thinking about it? I thought you liked Che Wanting!"
Lian Jiao: "What did you say——"
"Hey, hey, hey, let's talk it over nicely."
"We are all old classmates, why bother?"
"Hey, I saw Che Wanting last night. She was at Haohui Mall. She was shopping with Zhan Shengguang."
"Shut up!"
Lian Jiao had never been humiliated like this before. She immediately grabbed the sleeve of the person who was speaking, her voice hoarse.
"What did you say? Say it again!"
The man whose sleeve she grabbed quickly shook her off: "Hey, why are you pulling me? I saw it with my own eyes. Lian Jiao, you should let go when it's time to let go. We are a couple..."
Lian Jiao stared at her and suddenly felt a little breathless.
"you--"
She pointed at him and suddenly felt a little breathless. A few red bumps suddenly appeared on her body. Soon, the redness spread all over her body...
"Hey, hey, what's wrong!"
"Lian Jiao, Lian Jiao!"
"No, I just want to say a few words!"
"Why is she dizzy?"
…
Pei Qing saw Lian Jiao falling in the crowd from afar. She was so scared that she grabbed Liu Ji and ran away.
Liu Ji: “Hey——”
He followed behind, carrying his own medicine box.
The monitor had already tried to get the students around to disperse. Pei Qing squeezed in. The monitor asked anxiously, "Why are you all gathered here? Have you called 120?"
Liu Ji: "Let me see. Let me see."
He looked at Lian Jiao lying on the ground, her throat was swollen.
Liu Ji squatted down and pressed several parts of her body, saying, "It's anaphylactic shock, disperse, disperse."
Xu An squeezed over, holding his ID and asked the people to move away.
Under pressure from the police and sensing the inexplicable high pressure, the students dispersed one after another.
Only Fu Chen was still squatting beside Lian Jiao, calling Lian Jiao's name in a low voice.
Liu Ji took out a bottle of cetirizine and poured it into Lian Jiao's mouth.
Xu An said to everyone present: "No one is allowed to leave."
Pei Qing looked nervously at Lian Jiao lying on the ground, and thought about what Lian Jiao had eaten and touched just now.
Whatever she ate, she ate with others.
Why was she the only one who reacted?
Didn’t Lian Jiao say she wasn’t allergic?
What did she eat just now?
She had seafood barbecue and cold drinks, and took a few throat medicine pills, but Fu Chen and Lu Nian next to her also took those!
