Hearing this, I paused, turned around slowly, and stared at her closely: "Tang Xiaomei has no blood relationship with you. In your eyes, she is unreliable? If you want to regret it, she will be my daughter from tomorrow on."
When Lin Xun heard this, her eyes froze at first, and then she snorted coldly, the voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, with a hint of chillness: "Xiaomei and I at least have an adoption agreement, which is written in black and white and protected by law. It can't be taken away by anyone who wants to." She raised her head with a hint of stubbornness on her face, but the slightly trembling tone still revealed the uneasiness in her heart.
My heart ached, and I suddenly realized that the knot in her heart was always tied to me. I smiled bitterly, my voice full of helplessness and bitterness: "Yeah, after all, in your heart, I am the most unreliable person." After I said this, it seemed as if all the energy in my body was drained.
Lin Xun's face suddenly turned pale and bloodless, as if it was instantly covered by a layer of frost. Her lips trembled slightly, but she seemed to be choked by something and could not speak for a long time.
I took a deep breath, trying to suppress the emotions surging in my heart, and said the last words: "Lin Xun, I just hope that jealousy will not completely blind your eyes. Chen Mengzhao appeared after you resolutely withdrew. From beginning to end, I have never lied to you in the slightest."
"Guan Hongjun, you are a complete hooligan!" Lin Xun could no longer restrain himself and screamed hysterically. The sharp voice echoed in the empty office like the roar of a wounded beast.
This time, I didn't hesitate at all. I made up my mind and walked towards the door without looking back.
Each step I took felt extremely heavy, and the crying and cursing of Lin Xun behind me were blocked out by me. With a bang, I closed the office door with my hand, leaving all the entanglements and pains inside behind.
Dragging my legs that felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, I returned to my office.
The room was dark. I didn't even have the energy to turn on the light. I just slumped down in my seat, staring blankly as if my soul had been sucked out of me.
Lin Xuncai's harsh words echoed in my ears again and again, like sharp blades, piercing my heart deeply again and again.
It's not that I don't understand how a woman who has been hurt in an emotional relationship would feel despair and pain in her heart; I also completely understand her cherishment of family affection and her tenderness in not wanting to force her brother into a desperate situation.
But what I find hard to accept is that Lin Xun, who once trusted and relied on me without reservation, now regards me as the culprit who disrupted her life and plunged everything into chaos. This huge gap in cognition was like a heavy hammer, hitting my heart hard and making it difficult for me to breathe.
Just when I was filled with sorrow and immersed in pain, the door of the office was gently pushed open, and the figure of Shen Mengzhao came into view quietly. She was slightly startled when she saw that the room was pitch black, then she reached out and fumbled to turn on the light switch.
In an instant, the bright lights dispelled the darkness, but it also made me feel a little at a loss.
I turned my head away reflexively, pretending that the light was too glaring, but in fact I was afraid that she would see my expression filled with sadness and fatigue.
Chen Mengzhao had sharp eyes and noticed my abnormality at a glance. She walked quickly to me, leaned over slightly, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Why are your eyes so red?"
I forced myself to cheer myself up, put on a smile that was uglier than crying, and said calmly, "It's nothing serious, just a little annoying, not worth mentioning."
Chen Mengzhao was not fooled by my perfunctory answer. She frowned slightly and said firmly, "I saw you go to Daxun Company. Did you have a quarrel with Lin Xun? When you came back, you were furious. I saw it clearly from the window."
I tried to ease the depressing atmosphere and said half-jokingly, "Nannan, when did you start spying on me?"
Chen Mengzhao did not respond to my teasing, but quietly walked around behind me. Her movements were gentle but firm. She slowly stretched out her arms and hugged me tightly.
She lowered her head slightly and rested her chin against the top of my head. Her voice was as gentle as the spring breeze as she whispered in my ear: "Guan Hongjun, I am your exclusive emotional mentor. If you feel aggrieved, just tell your auntie and I will help you get rid of all those bad emotions."
Listening to Chen Mengzhao's gentle words, my inner defenses collapsed instantly, and the desire to talk surged like a flood.
So, I told her everything that had just happened in Lin Xun's office, in detail. From the two men's tit-for-tat words to Lin Xun's hateful eyes, every detail weighed on my heart like a heavy stone, and now I was finally able to vent.
Chen Mengzhao listened quietly, his eyes focused and serious, nodding slightly from time to time, as if he was sorting out the context of the whole incident in his mind. When I finished, she said, "Leave this matter to me. I'll go see Mr. Lin."
When I heard this, my heart skipped a beat. I waved my hands hastily, frowned, and said anxiously, "Don't get involved. Nannan, you don't understand the complexity of the situation. As the saying goes, 'You can't see the true face of Mount Lu because you are in it.' If you go to her, she will be more disgusted with you in her current state. Not only will it not solve the problem, but it will make things worse. It will be counterproductive."
Chen Mengzhao did not refute immediately, but walked lightly in front of me, bent her knees slightly, looked at me, stretched out her white hand, and gently lifted my chin. Her eyes were full of affection, and then she slowly moved closer and placed a gentle kiss on my lips.
Then, she leaned back slightly, looked at me tenderly, and said softly: "Little friend Guan Hongjun, I originally thought that you were experienced in the love field and had great skills. But now it seems that you still don't understand women, especially women like Lin Xun. She is not an ordinary little woman. She has a mind and courage beyond ordinary people. The seemingly heartless words she said to you today, in the final analysis, are because she can't let you go in her heart. This is a typical case of love turning into hate."
I frowned slightly and tried to explain: "I don't think that's entirely true. Maybe she is now deeply trapped in the guilt she feels towards Zhiming and can't extricate herself. This is the main reason."
Chen Mengzhao shook his head gently, his eyes showing a light of insight, and said: "Guilt is indeed a factor, but the fundamental reason is the knot in her heart, which has been entangled for too long and has never been resolved. You see, since I am also a role in this matter, I have to cooperate with her to play a role and untie this knot."
I raised my head and stared at her, my eyes full of worry and doubt: "Are you sure you can solve it?"
Chen Mengzhao nodded, his eyes as firm as the North Star on a cold night: "Of course, heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. For someone like her who has been suffering from a long-standing heart disease, a strong and urgent medicine is needed to cure the disease."
I was still a little worried, and couldn't help but remind her again: "Nannan, don't be so self-righteous. If you make a mistake, it will be troublesome."
Chen Mengzhao raised his lips and showed a confident smile, which seemed to be able to melt everything in the world: "Don't worry, although I studied journalism, I also minored in psychology. When doing an interview, if I don't have the ability to understand the other person's psychology, how can I dig out valuable content and do a good job of the interview?"
After saying that, she pressed a kiss on my lips, then straightened her back, took brisk and confident steps, turned around and walked away, leaving me standing there, my heart full of anxiety and expectation.
During the more than two hours of waiting that seemed as long as a century, I felt like I was on a hot pot, and my heart was in unbearable torment. All kinds of terrible scenes kept turning over in my mind. What worried me most was that these two women, both of whom had extremely strong personalities, would fight each other directly if they disagreed on a single word during the meeting.
