Chapter 25 Is your love so cheap?
Chen Tang looked at him aggrievedly. Whether in modern times or here, there were countless people pursuing her, but she had never taken a fancy to any of them.
He Xu was the person she liked the first time she saw him.
"No reason. The He family is in a mess. I can't protect you with your weak personality."
Shen Tang was so hot that she was even more upset when she heard his rejection.
She gritted her teeth angrily and bit his lips.
He Xu did not avoid it. The light brown eyes, which were exactly the same as in his dream, seemed to reflect his hidden emotions.
"Chen Tang, don't do anything you will regret..."
"You also know that I'm timid, but He Xu, I want to try my best to win you over this time. If you don't agree, then we will try to avoid each other in the future and just treat each other as strangers."
She did not regret not getting the answer she wanted after trying hard. There are many possibilities in life, and she did not think that she would be obsessed with one person for the rest of her life.
He Xu was irritated by her words. He pinched her chin, his dark eyes cold and stern: "Is your love so cheap? Did you say the same thing to Han Zhongguo a few days ago?"
Chen Tang was a little confused at first, and was stunned when she heard the name Han Zhongguo. Then she reacted and quickly explained: "Bah, who wants to be the stepmother of three children?"
He Xu's expression eased slightly: "I see you are quite positive."
Chen Tang: "Unless he is as handsome as you."
He Xu raised his lips, and his eyes softened unconsciously: "A little coward who is always trying to please others."
"Go to sleep, you probably won't think so tomorrow."
He Xu pinched her neck and knocked her unconscious, then carried her to the hospital.
Shen Tang woke up dazedly and was already in the hospital, with Shen's mother sitting by the bed and covering her with a blanket.
Seeing that she woke up, he was full of surprise: "Tangtang is awake, are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Shen Tang still had an IV drip on his hand. He looked up at Mother Shen's gentle face, and the fear in his heart suddenly surged out: "Yesterday..."
"Nothing happened yesterday, don't be afraid, Tangtang, let mom and dad handle this matter."
Mother Shen comforted her gently, and was relieved to see her fear slowly dissipate.
Chen Tang had been hungry for a day and suddenly relaxed. The rumbling sound of her stomach was particularly crisp in the ward. She was so embarrassed that she secretly covered half of her face with a quilt.
Mother Shen heard it and touched her head with amusement: “I’ll go to the cafeteria to buy you some food.”
There was only one bed in the ward and everyone had left. Only then did Chen Tang remember the scene of her hooking her arms around He Xu's neck and rubbing against him in his arms yesterday.
In an instant, her face turned red to her ears.
Taishe is dead!
When she recalled the past, she remembered He Xu calling her a coward.
Chen Tang couldn't help but curl his lips and sneer.
If she doesn't like Han Zhongguo, it means she changes her mind too quickly. If she likes Han Zhongguo and confesses her love to him, would it be an insult to him?
It seems that whatever she does is wrong!
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore. Chen Tang felt that if she continued to think about it, she would have a heart attack.
The incident fermented for a few days. Just when Shen Tang thought that Zheng Lin would not be punished, he suddenly heard the news that Zheng Lin was arrested.
Uncle Shen came to apologize that day.
When Shen Tang went downstairs, he happened to see Second Uncle Shen talking to Old Man Shen in a servile manner, especially Shen Zhenzhen, who had a slap mark on her face.
Seeing Chen Tang, the second uncle Chen Yue hurried forward: “Tang Tang, I’m glad you’re okay.
Your cousin really doesn't know that Zheng Lin has such dirty thoughts. If she knew, she would definitely not take you to that birthday party."
Old Master Shen suppressed his anger and said, "Tangtang, ignore your second uncle. How could I have given birth to two idiots like this? One of them wanted to save a gambler every day, and the other wanted to curry favor with the Revolutionary Committee. In the end, he was fooled around and almost got his sister involved."
Shen Tang looked at Shen Zhenzhen, who lowered her head and said nothing, and the nails in her fists dug into her flesh. It was obvious that she hated him so much.
I don't know who I hate.
Chen Yue was scolded and his head was covered with dust: "You know how powerful the Revolutionary Committee is. Zhenzhen likes Zheng Lin. I thought that since our families are close, it would be a good thing if they could be together. Who knew that Zheng Lin is such a piece of shit."
If this had not touched the bottom line of his elder brother and sister-in-law and even Zheng Lin had been arrested, he would not have rushed over overnight to apologize.
Zheng Lin's father is the director of the provincial revolutionary committee. Anyone who can sit in this position must have someone above him.
The investigation team was able to ignore the face of the Chairman of the Revolutionary Committee and detain his son in prison. Apart from Mr. Shen, he couldn't think of anyone else who would deal with the Zheng family so openly.
Old Master Shen didn't say anything. He did want to send Zheng Lin in, but he also knew that the Shen family was at a critical moment and any rash action would likely put the Shen family in a passive position.
Especially since this matter concerns his granddaughter's reputation, he cannot send Zheng Lin to jail on the charge of attempted rape. He has to think of other ways. It would be best if he could find something that could hold something against the Zheng family so that they can be wiped out at once.
But before he could take any action, the investigation team broke into Zheng Lin's office early in the morning and found a large amount of evidence of taking bribes and slandering others in his office.
This incident alarmed Zheng's father, who immediately mobilized his connections to try to get his son out.
Mr. Shen made great efforts to stop it, but he didn't know who was behind it. Not only did Zheng's father fail to get the man out, but everyone in the capital knew what Zheng Lin had done through the People's Daily newspaper.
Now, let alone whether Zheng Lin can be rescued, even Zheng’s father himself may not be able to be saved.
The investigation team has already begun investigating the Zheng family. Once something is found out, the director of the Revolutionary Committee will be replaced.
Mr. Shen offended someone in order to speak up for an old general who was dismissed from office. The Revolutionary Committee was keeping a close eye on him, so he couldn't do anything private and kept his two sons away from the capital.
Now that the opportunity has come, Mr. Shen will naturally seize it.
Seeing that Shen Yue still didn't repent, Mr. Shen was so angry that he almost pointed at his nose and scolded him.
"The Zheng family is a cruel family. You sent your daughter to hell for that little bit of power. I really want to kill you!"
Shen Yue approached in a flattering manner: "Dad, don't be angry, isn't the Zheng family going to be finished?"
The old man is so powerful that even the Zheng family is about to be brought down. It doesn't matter if he gets scolded a lot.
The old man just needs to calm down.
He also wanted the old man to help him get transferred to a big factory.
Old man Shen didn't want to see his old face: "Get lost, the Zheng family is probably finished like this, your eldest brother is already preparing to transfer to Shen Yi, and he won't be back in the next few years. If you're smart, get out of the capital quickly."
Shen Yue was shocked: "Not really? Does the Zheng family have such great ability? If it really doesn't work...then let Tangtang marry over there."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was punched by Father Shen and cried out.
Mr. Shen said calmly beside him: "It's your turn."
He had already said it, whether Shen Yue listened or not was none of his business, anyway, if he didn't leave at that time, he would have to be demoted.
As soon as the second uncle's family left, Shen Tang told Mr. Shen what Zheng Lin said yesterday that someone was plotting against the Shen family behind the scenes.
Mr. Shen was not surprised, but asked another question: "Tangtang, when did the boy from the He family become so close to you?"
