Chapter 99



When others say harsh words, it may just be harsh words and nothing will happen. But when Cheng Rushan says harsh words, he will definitely fulfill them and will only fulfill them twice as much as harsh words.

When he was very young, he once told Cheng Fugui that he would make him pay with blood. At that time, Cheng Fugui did not believe him. Now the grass on his grave is three feet tall.

Bian Haitao couldn't help but shudder. No, Meng Yiyi said that the future has changed and she will not die at the hands of Cheng Rushan again.

I will not kidnap Cheng Rushan's son, and Jiang Lin will not elope with me. Now it is just a work matter. As long as I am not caught with too many evidences, Cheng Rushan will be able to do nothing to me!

Bian Haitao interpreted Cheng Rushan's harsh words as anger and shame, and was afraid that if he attacked Jiang Lin, people would know about his past.

Whether Jiang Lin agreed to date Lu Hang in order to stay in the city, or Jiang Lin could not stand the hardship in the countryside and chose to marry, either one of them was enough to damage her reputation. Even if it did not affect her work, the now praised Dean Jiang was also flawed, and those relationships between men and women were enough for others to classify her as a fickle woman.

Although he is jealous of the harmonious and loving relationship between Jiang Lin and Cheng Rushan, if he had the chance to do it all over again, he would still sacrifice her, or any other woman, for his own future.

Because every step in front of you is the most important!

Cheng Rushan was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned to get in the car.

Jiang Lin took a handkerchief to wipe his hands. "He did this on purpose. He wants others to gossip about us?" She glanced at the people watching outside. "Why don't you try to explain it?"

Cheng Rushan: “No need.”

There is nothing to explain. It is not her fault that she met the wrong person. Besides, seventeen years have passed. Who would still gossip about that little thing?

The people in this compound are not just ordinary village gossips. Even if they are gossipy by nature, they would not dare to behave like gossips after considering the working environment.

Even the cleaners knew that Cheng Rushan didn't care much about his own affairs, but he would not tolerate any provocation when it came to his wife. Anyone who dared to gossip about her behind her back would automatically be on his opposite side.

Want to go against him?

That's impossible.

They went to the high school to watch the children's football game, and then took the family to a restaurant for a big meal. At this time, Yan Runzhi and Baosheng also went to the back to visit the chef to discuss the secrets of several dishes. Baosheng is a little foodie and also likes to study with Yan Runzhi. She comments on the dishes and makes sense, and can make very pertinent comments. In addition, she has fair skin, beautiful appearance, and a friendly smile. Everyone who sees her will have a good impression. The chef is eager to take in a little apprentice and teach her everything.

In just one meal, Baosheng has a close friend who is a chef regardless of age difference. This not only enriches his family's dining table, but also increases his knowledge accumulation, which is also of great help to his writing.

When she got home, she excitedly kept calling him "my brother". After having this friend, she had another activity - asking her brothers to accompany her to the restaurant regularly to listen to gossip stories and study new dishes.

The children are so sensible, Jiang Lin is relaxed and happy, just waiting to eat the new dishes developed by her mother-in-law and daughter. The pocket money given to her by her sons is so comfortable - if she doesn't mention work.

Once she gets into work mode, Jiang Lin becomes like a different person, transforming from the Empress Dowager into a female King Kong.

Jiang Lin will go to the capital in the next few days to attend an exchange meeting on the experience and subsequent development of the capital's subway project, and he can also communicate with foreign experts.

Jiang Lin paid great attention to learning English when she was an undergraduate. When she was a graduate student, she read a large number of professional English books and wrote two papers entirely in English. In addition, Wensheng, Dabao and Xiaobao also learned English, so her English level is very high.

Compared with the English translator specially arranged by the conference group, Jiang Lin's level of expertise in architecture is naturally higher, and he can translate accurately without translating too stiffly to make it difficult for both parties to communicate.

After the meeting, Jiang Lin became familiar with the foreign design team. Not only did they exchange academic issues, but they also made plans to climb the Great Wall, visit the Forbidden City, and study the ancient buildings in the city. Jiang Lin has a project on protecting ancient buildings and plans to lead a group of students. Some British scholars are also very good at this and can provide her with good ideas and academic exchanges.

That day, she and several British engineers finished touring a large house left over from the Qing Dynasty. They did not get into a car, but walked and talked towards Quanjude on the street ahead.

Since Quanjude resumed business, it has developed rapidly in the past few years and has opened several branches. It is very popular with customers coming in large numbers every day.

At that time, a duck costs ten yuan, which is not cheap, but as long as there are two working people in the family, they will go to eat it once a week to satisfy their cravings. Even if the conditions are not so good, they will eat it once or twice a month.

Needless to say, those who come from other places for meetings, business trips, or do business must invite relatives and friends to come and taste the food.

There were nine of Jiang Lin's group, including foreign guests, so they contacted the manager to arrange a private room.

Before sitting down, Jiang Lin went to the bathroom with a foreign female engineer, and unexpectedly saw people pulling and tugging behind the flower partition in the corner. A fat and big-eared man was smiling in an obscene way and insisted on putting his hands on the woman's neck.

"I smell that you're sweeter than roast duck. You're so fragrant. I really want to eat you right now." The man pressed the slender woman against the wall, making smacking sounds.

Jiang Lin pretended not to see anything and walked in without looking around. But when she walked past, she felt that the woman looked a little familiar. When she turned her head and glanced at her when she turned into the bathroom, she met Jiang Ling's gloomy gaze.

Why is she here?

Jiang Lin was puzzled, but ignored him and went straight to the bathroom. When she came out, Jiang Ling and the man were gone.

Jiang Ling didn't expect to meet Jiang Lin here. It was really a narrow road for enemies to meet.

She came here to build connections for Bian Haitao. The situation in the provincial capital is not good now. Cheng Rushan has nailed Bian Haitao to the ground and left him no way to survive. Bian Haitao is forced into a corner.

Bian Haitao had previously wanted to use his past relationship with Jiang Lin to create public opinion and let everyone gossip in order to suppress Cheng Rushan and make people think that it was a revenge from a love rival.

In the end, Cheng Rushan didn't fall for it at all and confronted him directly. He really didn't expect Cheng Rushan to be so straightforward and leave no room for maneuver. Isn't he afraid that the matter will get out of hand and Jiang Lin will lose face?

The most infuriating thing is that after he did this, the opposite of what he wanted happened. No one talked about Jiang Lin behind her back. Even if some individuals talked about it, others would say that Dean Jiang was not that kind of person.

Dean Jiang is an intelligent and generous person, as has been witnessed by everyone over the years. He has strong professional capabilities and has a close relationship with Cheng Rushan. What does other men have to do with him?

Impossible.

However, Cheng Rushan had completely turned against him and was openly investigating him, even asking his colleagues in the provincial department to cooperate. This was really a slap in the face to Bian Haitao.

But the director asked him to cooperate, saying, "As long as we behave properly, we are not afraid of him investigating! Let him investigate as he pleases. I will take the lead and he will investigate me first!"

If Cheng Rushan takes real action, few people will be able to withstand his investigation, unless there is really nothing fishy going on.

How could Bian Haitao bear it?

There was no other choice, so he found another way. He asked Jiang Ling and Meng Yiyi to go to the capital to use their connections to help him, whether by using money or other means, to find a way to transfer him to the capital or another provincial capital.

Of course, if he could get his way, he would like to get Cheng Rushan away.

Although Meng Yiyi knew something about the future because of her rebirth, she was only familiar with the lives of her own, Jiang Lin, Bian Haitao, Cheng Rushan and other acquaintances, and also knew some social events and policies. It was easier to make money, but it was not so easy to understand political trends.

After all, Meng Yiyi in her previous life didn’t have that ability.

Now she couldn't think of a good solution, and thought that the best way would be to use her connections to transfer Bian Haitao away.

Only by leaving the provincial capital and staying away from Cheng Rushan and Jiang Lin can everything be safe.

So Jiang Ling and Meng Yiyi came to the capital to establish a relationship. Jiang Ling is a beautiful painter with a little fame, while Meng Yiyi is a "fortune teller". In recent years, she has been studying various fortune-telling books, such as Ziwei Dou Shu, Four Pillars and Eight Characters, and combined with her own understanding of the future, she is also very good at fooling people.

She never shows it to ordinary people, but only to those who have a certain status and are in trouble, so that she can accumulate connections.

This time she came to the capital because she was introduced by one of her clients, who said that Hu Kun could help them use their connections to transfer Bian Haitao to the special economic zone, which is the place with the most money.

The client organized a dinner party and invited everyone to eat Peking duck. They first looked at Jiang Ling's paintings. Hu Kun fell in love with Jiang Ling at first sight. Then he asked Meng Yiyi to give him some advice and point out the future direction.

Hu Kun immediately introduced Meng Yiyi as a master and wanted to introduce her to more powerful leaders.

Meng Yiyi felt that if nothing unexpected happened, things would most likely be successful, so she asked Jiang Ling to cheer up and not mess it up.

Hu Kun was a lustful man to begin with, and now that he had fallen in love with the girl, he didn't want to wait any longer. After eating a few bites of the duck, he pretended to be drunk and pressed his fat body on Jiang Ling's shoulders, asking her to support him and go to the hotel next door to rest.

Jiang Ling felt a little suffocated by him. Hu Kun sweated a lot in the hot weather and had body odor, which made her feel a little nauseous, but she couldn't show it and had to endure it.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly changed her mind. She called the manager to ask where Jiang Lin and the foreigners' box was, and then helped Hu Kun over there.

Hu Kun pulled her skirt and said, "What's the matter? We've arrived at the hotel."

Jiang Ling chuckled, "Brother Hu, I'll show you something interesting."

She stood at the door of the box and listened. There was a lot of chirping inside, mixed with Jiang Lin's slow voice. She waved at Hu Kun, and he immediately came over.

"listen."

Hu Kun heard a pleasant voice, which immediately made his heart itch. He wanted to see the woman's appearance to see if she was a beauty that met his expectations.

With a bang, he slammed the door open and walked in with a swagger.

Jiang Lin and others in the room immediately turned their heads and saw a fat man lying sideways like a crab, who didn't look like a staff member.

The person in charge of the meeting group immediately said, "My friend, you have come to the wrong room."

Hu Kun didn't care. He looked around with his drunken eyes and immediately said with a smile, "Yes, it's this room. Don't bully me because I'm drunk. I'm not drunk."

His eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Lin. He thought Jiang Ling was very beautiful, but he didn't expect this one to be even more beautiful, making Jiang Ling look like a fake.

"Sister Jiang," he said, and his big fat hand went to Jiang Lin's shoulder, "I just went out for a walk, how come you become more beautiful?"

William, who was sitting next to Jiang Lin, immediately stretched out his hand to block, indicating that he had recognized the wrong person.

Hu Kun ignored him and just pounced on Jiang Lin.

Without waiting for him to touch her, Jiang Lin reached back with the chopsticks in her left hand and stabbed the fat man, piercing Hu Kun's big fat belly and making him cry out in pain.

The male comrades on Jiang Lin's side gathered around and pulled Hu Kun away, asking him to go out. The manager outside also ran over and quickly told Hu Kun that he had walked into the wrong room and that their box was on the other side.

The manager saw Jiang Lin and said to Hu Kun, "Mr. Hu, it turns out you don't know the people in this box."

Hu Kun immediately said, "I know her." He pointed at Jiang Lin.

The manager said hurriedly, "I made a mistake, I made a mistake, they just look a bit alike. Isn't the lady with you waiting for you outside?"

The manager didn't know what Jiang Ling was thinking. She had asked a few foreigners before, and he thought they knew each other. But when Hu Kun came in to make trouble, they didn't know him at all, so he felt a little strange.

Others didn't understand what they heard, but Jiang Lin immediately became alert. She stood up and quickly walked out of the box. Turning her head, she saw Jiang Ling hurriedly hiding.

It looked like she had been spying outside and was now hiding after being discovered.

Where are you hiding!

Jiang Lin quickly chased after her and grabbed Jiang Ling's arm before she could return to the box, "You seem to be guilty of something."

If Jiang Ling hadn't done it on purpose, how could Hu Kun have dared to walk in and recognize the wrong person?

Jiang Ling shouted angrily, "What are you doing?" She waved her hand and slapped Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin held a homemade anti-wolf spray in his hand and quickly sprayed it towards Jiang Ling's face.

"Ah——" Jiang Ling didn't know what it was, she just felt a puff of steam sprayed on her, and then her eyes felt a burning pain like being cut by a knife.

Meng Yiyi and others inside heard the noise and ran out to see what was going on. She saw Jiang Lin standing there with a cold face.

Meng Yiyi subconsciously wanted to hide. The memories of her confrontation with Jiang Lin in Shuihuai Village and the factory, which she thought were far away and forgotten, now came flooding back like a tide, clearly. She was afraid of Jiang Lin in her bones, afraid of Jiang Lin's slap, afraid of Jiang Lin's scrutinizing eyes, afraid...

She didn't even know what she was afraid of, she was just afraid.

Especially now that Jiang Lin is successful in her career and has a good status, she feels inferior and jealous.

Her inferiority complex made her conceited. She held her head high, pretended not to see Jiang Lin, and quickly retreated back to the box.

Jiang Lin had already seen her and said coldly: "Meng Yiyi, Jiang Ling, I don't care why you are here, but I have decided to report you and Bian Haitao's illegal activities in the provincial capital to the relevant departments. Everyone, it's Bian Haitao. If you hear this name, please take a detour!"

After saying that, she turned and left, not caring about Meng Yiyi's ugly expression, not caring about Jiang Ling stumbling around asking for water to wash her eyes, and not caring about the fat guy's obscene look at the side.

It is an open fact that Bian Haitao is under investigation now. It is not a secret. All relevant departments know about it. She is making a warning here to block Bian Haitao's way in one fell swoop.

Although Jiang Lin didn't know the specific purpose of Meng Yiyi and Jiang Ling, when she saw these two women who had boasted to her about having an affair with Bian Haitao appear at the same time, and took into account Bian Haitao's recent situation, Jiang Lin immediately guessed this.

It doesn’t matter if it’s not, if it is then it’s a blessing in disguise.

Even if there were people who wanted to help for the sake of money and beauty, who would dare to do so now that their situation has been exposed?

So, everyone at the table left, and Meng Yiyi sat there, trembling all over, her face pale.

Finished.
