Chapter 172: A Pear Tree Overshadows a Begonia Tree
Out of curiosity, Chen Tinglan took a taxi to the Blues Bar.
Could it be that Lily’s boyfriend is Jiang Zhen?
wrong.
She had seen photos of Lily's boyfriend.
Shen Tinglan thought as he walked, and when he arrived at the door of the store, he pushed the door open and walked in, looking around the store.
Wu Lili stood up and waved excitedly: "Here, Ting Lan."
"Here I come."
As soon as Shen Tinglan sat down, Xiang Hui smiled and said, "Tinglan, thank you so much for what you did last time. You can order whatever you want, I'll treat you today."
"You don't have to be so polite—"
"With so many beauties here, how can I let you pay the bill? I'll treat you today." Jiang Zhen came over with a glass of wine and interrupted the conversation.
"Drink as much as you want today, Mr. Jiang will pay the bill."
Following behind him was a man about the same age as Jiang Zhen, who walked towards Wu Lili's seat and sat down next to her.
Wu Lili smiled and introduced: "Tinglan, my boyfriend, Luo Zeyang."
Shen Tinglan looked at Jiang Zhen, then at Wu Lili's boyfriend: "So everyone knows him."
Jiang Zhen said happily: "That's right, when they came just now, they mentioned your name, and then I knew that my brother's girlfriend and you are friends. Jiangcheng is really a circle."
"Hahahaha...yes, Jiangcheng is so small that you'll find friends everywhere you go." Xiang Hui took over.
Jiang Zhen went to get a few more beers and said, "I won't go home until I'm drunk. Oh, and Brother Yu will be here later."
"Jiang Yu?" Chen Tinglan was still a little uncomfortable, but then she thought it was actually nothing, as they had already talked about it last time.
My thoughts returned to the table and I refused the wine Jiang Zhen offered me: "I drink juice. My boss at home is watching closely."
"oh……"
“Huh…”
…
Jiang Zhen couldn't help but shudder when he thought of Sister Lan's boyfriend's ugly face.
"Okay, juice, juice, I'll get it."
Jiang Zhen brought over the juice and turned around to take care of the business in the store.
Xiang Hui pulled Shen Tinglan over and said, "I was so scared last time. If I hadn't met you, I would have been in trouble. That day, I had a mahjong game with my friends, but they had something to cancel. I was about to leave when they were blocked by You Er and his men. I resisted and was slapped a few times. The pain was so severe that I saw stars."
"I'm still scared when I think about it now." Xiang Hui said, patting her chest, with lingering fear.
Shen Tinglan took over her words: “It means we are destined to be together, now everything is fine.”
Wu Lili: "What happened next? How were those bad guys dealt with? We went to the police station, gave a brief statement, and then were allowed to go home."
"I didn't ask about it. I almost forgot about it." Shen Tinglan thought to herself that she would go back and ask Lin Zhizhou later.
Xiang Hui: "Ting Lan, you're amazing! I've been having nightmares these past few days. By the way, did you use the thing I gave you last time?"
Shen Tinglan took a sip of juice and whispered, “I haven’t used it yet.”
Xiang Hui touched her glass with hers and said, "Hurry up and use it. I'll have new stock soon. But it's okay. I'll save a portion for you when I get new stock. You've been a lifelong friend to me."
Shen Tinglan blushed for a rare moment, and hesitated to speak: "Not really, I don't need it."
Wu Lili came over and said: "She can't use it, so I can."
"What to use?" her boyfriend Luo Zeyang followed.
Xiang Hui and Shen Tinglan looked at Wu Lili's malicious smile, and Shen Tinglan began to imagine the scene.
Wu Lili pinched Shen Tinglan’s hand: “Tinglan, I know what you are thinking about again, don’t think about it.”
Shen Tinglan burst out laughing and said to Luo Zeyang: "Young man, you are blessed."
"Ah?" Luo Zeyang touched his head with a puzzled look on his face.
Turning to his girlfriend: "Lily, what's going on!"
Wu Lili pushed him and said, "Don't ask. If you ask, I won't know anything."
There was another burst of laughter at the table.
Jiang Zhen finished his work and came over to sit down: "What are you guys talking about so happily?"
The three women at the table looked at each other, chose to remain silent and hold back their laughter.
When women become lustful, men have no chance.
Seeing that the others didn't continue talking, Jiang Zhen turned to ask about the school cafeteria bidding: "Sister Lan, my uncle and I are planning to participate in the Jiangcheng cafeteria public bidding. Do you want to use some connections?"
"My aunt was planning to open a cafeteria, but it was stolen by You Er. Now that You Er is gone, my aunt is planning to start it all over again with me."
Shen Tinglan didn't quite understand and shook his head: "I don't know much about this, but I can ask for you. You Er has just been investigated, and I guess this aspect is quite strict. I personally suggest not to use any connections at this time. It would be better to focus on quality. Isn't the inspection team squatting in Jiangcheng? I believe no one will confront it head-on during this special period."
Jiang Zhen nodded, "That's right, then I'll talk to my uncle and the others."
After chatting for a while, Shen Tinglan's phone rang.
I took it out and saw that it was the boss calling.
Before I knew it, it was already ten o'clock.
After swiping to connect the call, she stood up and said goodbye to the few people: "I have to go, you guys have fun, next time, next time I will treat you."
Several people at the table understood and did not try to keep her.
"I'm coming out."
"Um."
Shen Tinglan walked out and met Jiang Yu who opened the door for her.
"Ting Lan, are you leaving?"
Shen Tinglan nodded, remembering what Jiang Yu and Lin Zhizhou said last time.
I couldn't help but complain: "Big mouth." Then I said "goodbye" to him.
Jiang Yu smiled at her big mouth and said, "Bye."
Hearing Lan say this to him was like most of the previous estrangement was resolved.
They can also return to their previous position as friends.
Jiang Yu smiled sincerely and walked into the store. He looked out through the glass door and saw the big boss leaning against the car on the side of the road, holding out his hand and then jogging towards Ting Lan.
The picture was so beautiful that it touched Jiang Yu's warm heart.
Shen Tinglan rushed towards the big leader: “Lin Zhizhou, I miss you so much after not seeing you for a day.”
The man held her steadily, his body pressed against the side of the car due to inertia. One arm was around her back from behind her waist. The woman's entire back fell in his arms. His warm palms fell on her butterfly bones, rubbing them gently through her clothes.
He lowered his head, and his tall nose landed on the corner of her lips and sniffed: "You're so good, you didn't drink. How about I reward you by letting you stay up tonight?"
Shen Tinglan clenched his fist and punched him in the chest: "Is this a reward or a punishment? No."
"I'm giving out bonuses today. You have to please me. I'm rich."
Lin Zhizhou couldn't refuse the kindness, and said with a smile, "I'm happy to do so."
Inside the car.
"Today I ran into Section Chief Chen being pestered by her ex-mother-in-law for money. Did I tell her about Xu Mo?"
Lin Zhizhou glanced at her: "Oh? What did Section Chief Chen say?"
Shen Tinglan leaned her head against the chair, her posture tilted. "She said she'd think about it, but I don't think it's easy to deal with her ex-mother-in-law. I heard a few things, and she said she'd come to the company and make a scene if I didn't give her the money, and even go to Xuxu's school to make a scene. It's going to be difficult to deal with."
The little woman was speaking with a sad face. Lin Zhizhou said, "Why are you so concerned about Section Chief Chen?"
Chen Tinglan clicked her tongue: "I just think it's not easy for her. A woman who met the wrong man, finally got divorced, and was still being pestered for money, more than once or twice. It's really hard. Xuxu is so obedient and cute, alas..."
The car had already entered the hotel's underground garage, and Lin Zhizhou turned off the engine and parked the car.
The two got out of the car at the same time. The leader took her hand, and his broad knuckles squeezed through the gaps between their fingers, interlocking theirs tightly.
Wen Sheng said: "Have you forgotten her plan against you?"
"Alas..." Shen Tinglan sighed again: "So people are advanced animals, with complex emotions and thoughts, and they are all living people. I was indeed unhappy with her about that incident, but looking back, I still feel a little sorry for her encountering such a thing."
"That's why I said you're soft-hearted."
"Don't think too much. I have already told Secretary Xu about this matter. I believe Xu Mo already knows about it. If he wants to admit it, he will take action. We just wait." Lin Zhizhou comforted her.
As they were talking, the two of them had already returned to the suite.
"real?"
"Why would I lie to you? Is this matter worth you thinking about for so long? You have lost your sense of propriety in front of your leader. You will be punished." After saying this, Lin Zhizhou grabbed the man and kissed him.
Shen Tinglan smiled and dodged: "Wait a minute, take a shower. It's very hot today and I'm sweating."
"Let's wash together."
Shen Tinglan sternly refused: "No."
Heavy and light footsteps came to the bedroom, and Shen Tinglan opened the wardrobe.
brush……
His face turned red.
How did Sister Hui get her bag back from the villa?
"You got it?"
The person behind him had a flickering look in his eyes: "I thought you were going to take it back, but I confiscated it by placing it on the bed. I brought it back with me."
Shen Tinglan wanted to die, and she and Lin Zhiqiu were busy eating melons at that time.
Today Shen Tinglan wore a black miniskirt and a white shirt. The shirt was the one Lin Zhizhou originally bought for her.
She bent over and looked for pajamas in the closet. It was such a beautiful scene. The leader was silently invited and his eyes gradually dimmed.
He hugged her from behind, picked out a lace nightgown from the pocket with his long fingers, and lowered his head on the woman's shoulder: "Wear this later."
Shen Tinglan took a look and said, "I'm wearing your big head ghost."
This is no different from not wearing anything.
She twisted her body and took the pajamas she had found: "Get out of the way, I'm going to take a shower."
A dense stream of kisses fell on the back of his neck, "Wait a moment."
"Wait a moment?"
The skirt was pushed open and fell to the ground.
"Hello……"
"Sui Sui, help well."
Shen Tinglan pinched the handle of the wardrobe with his fingers, and his knuckles turned white.
The worst thing is that there is a dressing mirror on one side of the open wardrobe door.
There were pearls of tears in Chen Tinglan's eyes, each drop of which was bright and shining, surrounding a tree of pear blossoms and crabapples that was in full bloom.
"Sui Sui, look how beautiful you are."
Shen Tinglan said nothing, turned away, and didn't look in the mirror.
Lin Zhizhou stubbornly turned her head to face the dressing mirror.
Continue to ask: "Is it beautiful?"
Shen Tinglan felt like she was riding on a roller coaster, going up and down.
The delicate larynx slid weakly on the slightly raised slender neck.
The tone is addictive: "Beautiful..."
