Chapter 12 Song Lansheng
"Good morning, Fu Lu."
"Good morning."
Fu Shengyan nodded calmly, greeted his unfamiliar colleagues one by one, and strode towards his office with his head held high after Yu Yao's whispered reminder.
A familiar partner teased him with a smile, "Fu Lu, I haven't seen you for so many days. Did you go traveling with your wife?"
"I think so. Lawyer Fu is not as serious as before. As a man, his expression will be different when he is in a good mood." Another lawyer nearby echoed.
Fu Shengyan was a little confused as to how they could tell that he was in a good mood. He didn't remember the relationship between them, so he nodded to the two of them in response, and followed Yu Yao with an expressionless face.
Seeing Lawyer Fu so indifferent, the two shrugged their shoulders and didn't bother themselves anymore.
After closing the door, Yu Yao breathed a sigh of relief and took out his cell phone to send a message to Lin Zhihua.
A warm home with wife and children: Mr. Lin, Lawyer Fu has been safely sent to the office. There were no emergencies on the way and no suspicious persons were found.
Unity of knowledge and action: Good.
Unity of knowledge and action: Don’t be so serious about your feelings when reporting next time.
A wife, children and a warm bed: Okay, Mr. Lin!
Fu Shengyan lowered his head and chatted with Lin Zhihua with a serious expression, but the content he sent was not so serious.
Fu Shengyan: Zhizhi, do I really have to stay here alone? I have lost my memory and don't want to work. (Cat crying.jpg)
Unity of Knowledge and Action: Isn’t Yu Yao right next to you?
Fu Shengyan: I can’t be in the same office with Zhizhi... I miss you already.
Unity of Knowledge and Action: You open the second drawer on the right and look toward the window.
Fu Shengyan did as he was told and saw a small telescope in a drawer. He played with it for a while, then put it in front of his eyes and looked out the window.
In the small camera, Lin Zhihua smiled and waved at him.
Fu Shengyan's pupils contracted slightly, and he looked at the telescope in his hand in disbelief. So this was the telescope he used to peek at Zhizhi before he lost his memory?
What a pervert.
Fu Shengyan complained in his heart, and then enthusiastically shared it with Lin Zhihua.
Fu Shengyan: Squeak, I can really see you!
Unity of Knowledge and Action: Well, the location of this office was specially chosen by you.
Yu Yao's eyes widened and his expression looked a little weird.
Lawyer Fu would occasionally take a telescope and look at the office building next door. Every time he looked at it, he would laugh so hard that Yu Yao felt uneasy. Yu Yao couldn't help but look at him with a hint of disgust.
Wow, I didn’t expect that Lawyer Fu, who looks like a decent person, actually has a voyeurism problem!
This already involves violating other people’s privacy rights!
He secretly reported everything to his boss, who seemed to be checking his phone and replied to him very quickly.
Unity of Knowledge and Action: It’s okay, he is looking at my office.
Yu Yao was caught off guard and was fed a mouthful of dog food. He silently turned off his phone, with a look of helplessness in his eyes.
All right, just have fun as a couple.
After a while, Assistant Yu, who was working hard, received a call from the front desk.
"Lawyer Fu, a client is looking for you." Yu Yao hung up the phone with a nervous look on his face, but did not forget to send a message to Lin Zhihua.
A warm home with a wife and children: Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin! A new situation has been discovered: a client named Song Lansheng has come to the law firm to see the boss!
Fu Shengyan hurriedly hid the telescope. His office was not far from the door, and before he could tidy up his clothes, there was a knock on the door.
“Knock knock.”
Fu Shengyan cleared his throat and said, "Come in."
A woman in a simple white dress opened the door. She had an oval face with cool features and long, smooth hair casually tied behind her head. There was a sense of depression between her brows and her face was pale, which made the dark circles under her eyes even more conspicuous.
Her originally dim eyes suddenly lit up when she saw Fu Shengyan, "Senior Brother Fu, it really is you!"
Fu Shengyan pursed his lips. He had no impression of this girl at all and looked at Secretary Yu.
Yu Yao was Lin Zhihua's secretary before. He was not familiar with Fu Shengyan and was confused about his social circle. Fortunately, Lin Zhihua finally saw the message he sent at this time.
Unity of Knowledge and Action: Song Lansheng? Isn't she a very beautiful girl? She was a college classmate of Ayan and me.
Unity of knowledge and action: Ask people to wait a moment, I will be there soon.
Yu Yao received the boss's instructions, winked at Fu Shengyan where no one could see, and shook the phone in his hand.
When Fu Shengyan saw the enlarged portrait of Lin Zhihua on the screen, he knew that it must be Zhizhi coming to find him.
He breathed a sigh of relief and nodded calmly to Song Lansheng.
"Sit down first, I'll make you a cup of tea." He took the person to the sofa next to him and slowly boiled water.
Yu Yao looked at his lawyer Fu's obvious move to delay time with fear and trepidation, and began to doubt whether the eldest young master had ever made tea for anyone.
However, this worry soon disappeared, and Secretary Yu, who was quite proud, gradually became impressed by this smooth and flowing set of movements.
Fu Shengyan skillfully woke up the tea. Both Mr. Fu and his father loved drinking tea and were fond of such pomp and ceremony. Fu Shengyan learned the trick from watching and hearing it, and it was no problem for him to fool others.
Song Lansheng was fascinated by what she saw. She felt a little flattered as she took the teacup, lowered her head and took a sip.
"Good tea." She actually didn't know much about tea, she just felt that it had a sweet aftertaste, but that didn't stop her from praising it sincerely.
"Brother, I came here this time to..." Before he could finish his words, there was a knock on the door from outside.
Yu Yao had been waiting for a long time and knew that his boss had come to save the situation, so he quickly opened the door.
Fortunately, the company was close by, and Yu Yao secretly sweated.
"Senior Sister Lin?" Song Lansheng's eyes flashed with surprise. Seeing the man in front of her, she smiled knowingly, "So you two are working together."
Lin Zhihua didn't explain. She greeted with a smile in her eyes, "Junior Sister Song, long time no see."
Fu Shengyan picked up a clean teacup, filled it with tea and handed it to Lin Zhihua. She naturally took it and smiled at Fu Shengyan.
"Long time no see, you two are still so close." Song Lansheng looked at the two of them with envy, a hint of loneliness rising in his eyes.
Song Lansheng, like them, was a student at A University, though a year younger than them. She was a junior at the Academy of Fine Arts. All three of them had joined the archery club and were close friends. Lin Zhihua was fond of this lively and intelligent junior and would occasionally guide her.
Fu Shengyan sticks to Lin Zhihua every day, and the three of them become familiar with each other after a few interactions. Song Lansheng is a simple love-brained person, and usually likes to support the two of them as a couple. From time to time, she also assists Lawyer Fu and gives him some tips to improve his relationship. Lawyer Fu has a very high degree of favorability towards this little sister.
"We've been married for three years." Lin Zhihua picked up the teacup and pretended to be angry. "I haven't heard from you since graduation. I didn't expect you to stay in City A."
"You girl, you didn't even come to our wedding, and you just said you were sketching abroad. Are you still busy with the exhibition now?"
Song Lansheng smiled bitterly and shook her head. She didn't know what words touched her. She opened her mouth and was about to say something when tears immediately fell.
Lin Zhihua was shocked and hurriedly took a piece of paper to wipe her tears.
This stunned everyone in the room, and Lin Zhihua winked at Fu Shengyan.
He immediately understood what his wife meant and pulled Secretary Yu, who still wanted to eat melon, out of the office.
Song Lansheng covered his face with his hands and curled up in Lin Zhihua's arms. His sobs echoed in the room, and his tears quickly soaked the clothes on Lin Zhihua's shoulders.
She didn't say anything and patted Song Lansheng's back gently.
After a long while, Song Lansheng raised her head, holding back her tears. She hiccuped and said in a choked voice, "Sister, you're right. I'm just an invincible idiot."
Lin Zhihua wiped her red eyes helplessly and said, "I never said that."
From her intermittent sobs, Lin Zhihua gradually pieced together the whole story.
When she married Fu Shengyan three years ago, Song Lansheng was indeed sketching with a teacher abroad.
She is an ordinary girl from a small city. Her parents are both working class. Although their life is not very wealthy, they are happy and content. She has always been a child of other families. She picked up the brush with passion and worked hard to get into the best university in the country.
Song Lansheng was fortunate to have found like-minded friends and a highly respected mentor who offered her valuable advice. She followed her mentor to a charity auction dinner, where she witnessed the upper class socializing for the first time.
Her painting was originally sold for only 100,000 yuan, but a man generously spent a million yuan to buy the painting "Respect for Freedom".
The whole place was in an uproar, and the rumor that the young master of the Gu family spent millions just to make a beautiful woman smile spread like wildfire.
Song Lansheng originally looked down on this man and even felt a little annoyed that money had tarnished her paintings, until the man pointed at the roses she painted and said to her with a smile: "What you feel is freedom, not the butterfly, nor the whole painting, but this brilliant wild rose, right?"
Song Lansheng paused for a moment, and looking at the man in front of him with a confident smile, his heart beat faster unconsciously.
That’s right, in the entire painting “Respect Freedom”, what she really wanted to paint was this red rose growing freely in the colorful mountains. It is not very eye-catching, but it blooms just as vigorously.
Song Lansheng thought that Gu Shaochen was just a small episode in her life, but she didn't expect that the drama of "the domineering president falls in love with me" would actually happen to her.
The man would send her a bouquet of roses every day, appear in her life relentlessly, and confess his love to her over and over again.
Her heart gradually fell under the man's offensive. After being rescued by the man heroically again, she looked at the blood flowing from his forehead and hugged him tightly.
"I promised you, Gu Shaochen, let's be together."
"good……"
Song Lansheng only heard the man speak very softly. Her heart was beating so fast, like a drum beating in her ears, that she did not hear the last two words of the man's words.
They quickly fell in love. Initially, she was worried that his family, with his privileged background, would look down on her, who came from a humble background. Unexpectedly, Gu Shaochen had already "solved" this problem, and they easily gained the approval of the Gu family.
Song Lansheng's parents were not as optimistic as she was. Her mother hugged her with a complicated look in her eyes, which included relief and some worry. In the end, she just sighed softly and said with a smile that as long as her daughter was happy, it was enough.
Gu Shaochen also showed great respect to Song's father and mother. He always brought gifts when he visited them and never gave them any perfunctory treatment.
Song Lansheng stretched out her index finger and gently poked the lover in front of her, asking the same question she would ask every day.
"Gu Shaochen, do you love me?"
"Love." The man would always answer without getting tired of it.
"Gu Shaochen, what do you love about me?"
"I love the way you look into my eyes and smile."
Song Lansheng thought that this was just Gu Shaochen's sweet talk, but she didn't expect that this might be the only truth he told her.
Gu Shaochen really loved the way she smiled, but it was just because from this angle she looked most like Bai Qingying.
She gave Lin Zhihua a self-deprecating smile, "Other people's first reaction when they meet a scumbag is to run away, but my thought at the time was, he can't live without me, I want him to clearly realize that he loves me."
Gu Shaochen had a friend who couldn't stand it so much that he secretly sent her a message using an anonymous number before their engagement party.
"Song Lansheng, Gu Shaochen doesn't love you. From beginning to end, he has only loved a girl who looks very similar to you - Bai Qingying."
"Don't believe it? Then go ask him!"
Song Lansheng did ask Gu Shaochen, but his expression didn't change. Instead, he asked who told her about it.
Song Lansheng laughed angrily and wanted to slap him hard and then break up with him in a domineering manner. But when she raised her hand, she suddenly saw a flash of panic in his eyes.
Gu Shaochen grabbed her hand, and her heart trembled. She suddenly felt that the man looked a little helpless.
Song Lansheng finally stayed.
She comforted herself in her heart that they were going to get married soon, and no matter how much Gu Shaochen liked that person, it was all in the past. It was just an ambiguous relationship in their youth that ended without any result. How could she be inferior to him?
Facts have proved that in Gu Shaochen's heart, Song Lansheng will never be as good as Bai Qingying.
When she made a wish in front of the candles to be together forever, Gu Shaochen picked up Bai Qingying who had just returned from the airport.
While she was enduring morning sickness attacks that were getting stronger each time, Gu Shaochen gently accompanied Bai Qingying to eat, take walks, and visit the amusement park.
While she was lying on the operating table, gritting her teeth in pain to give birth, Gu Shaochen held Bai Qingying in his arms and made love in their marriage bed.
Song Lansheng accepted the reality in despair.
Others make wishes to gods and Buddhas, but who are you talking to when you mutter to a candle?
Holding her one-month-old baby in her arms and reading the cold words on the divorce agreement, Song Lansheng suddenly woke up with a start.
She has given up too much for this man, her beloved career, normal interpersonal relationships, and her self-esteem.
The divorce agreement clearly states that the child's custody is given entirely to the man, and the woman is not allowed to visit or contact the child privately.
Song Lansheng could accept that he had lost the bet, and that three years of his youth and humble plea were only exchanged for 30 million.
But she would never give up the child she had carried for ten months with great difficulty. The experience of these three years made Song Lansheng clearly realize that she could not defeat the behemoth Gu family on her own.
When she was reluctantly seeking help, someone quietly handed her a business card with Fu Shengyan's name and the address of Zhihua Law Firm on it.
Song Lansheng had no choice. Over the years, she had devoted herself to Gu Shaochen and had long since distanced herself from her former friends. Even after marrying Gu Shaochen, she still couldn't successfully integrate into this circle.
She had no choice but to go to the law firm for a last-ditch effort. Fortunately, the goddess of luck favored her again.
