13 Chapter 13

◎What kind of girlfriend? ◎

"Mr. Shen, who is Mr. Shen?" Chen Jing'an looked unhappy. She held the corner of the table and tried her best to calm down. There are many people named Shen, not necessarily Shen Lie.

He Songwen hung up the phone: "Why do you ask these questions? I will handle my uncle's matters myself."

After saying that, he put away his notepad and pen, propped up the table and concentrated on picking up vegetables for her, saying that he wanted to eat more meat. The child will be fatter and healthier and look better: "Are you and the boy named Qin still talking about it?"

"We broke up."

"We broke up?" He Songwen asked with a straight face, "He brought it up and you brought it up?"

"I "

He Songwen then smiled with satisfaction: "That's okay, I didn't like her before. Our girl is the best, it's that kid Gao Pan."

Chen Jing'an smiled: "Uncle, that's all I want . "Of course, no one is worthy of it. I'll have to let my uncle take care of the future. "

He Songwen propped up his chair and chatted, briefly forgetting all the mess behind him, and then made a video call to his sister to be with Chen Jing'an. In the camera, she was reassured that her girl was fine. She had a pleasant meal, ignoring the phone calls.

After eating, He Songwen sent Chen Jing'an to the school gate. He waved his hand and motioned for Chen Jing'an to go in first. After almost walking, Chen Jing'an turned around and saw that his uncle had turned around and was answering the phone again. He lowered his head and arched his back. It's asking for help, walking across the road with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Chen Jing'an walked to the school and exhaled

a farewell message before Chen Jing'an walked to the school.

She still wanted to do something.

Chen Jing'an thought for a long time that she was just an ordinary student with neither status nor connections. After much deliberation, the only person she could find was her teacher Zhou Zhengqing. Zhou Zhengqing had been deeply involved in the industry for many years and was known to people from all walks of life, but the teacher just She needed to recuperate after the operation, so she bothered the teacher with such a personal matter. Just the thought made her feel ashamed.

He Songwen was not having an easy time these days. He came to look after his relationship. He attended wine parties one after another. He drank until he vomited every time. He was so drunk that he couldn't pretend to be in front of Chen Jing'an. He had been a grandson for many times, but no one was willing to do so. nod. If the debt continues to be owed, workers will cause trouble, materials suppliers will press for payment, and projects will not be delivered on time... As I keep pressing down one by one, I will feel like dying.

Chen Jing'an was also anxious.

When he went to see the teacher again, Zhou Zhengqing noticed that he stopped playing a piece of "Song on the Top" halfway through and asked her if there was something wrong. When he found out the whole story, he laughed out loud and blamed her for not playing it earlier. explain.

"I'm looking for someone to do this. If you concentrate on practicing your music, if your mind is not calm, it will be a waste of music."

A few days later, He Songwen suddenly met Mr. Shen. The person who contacted him smiled and said, "You have this relationship already. You should have said it earlier. There is no need to look for me. I've been running around all these days, so it's better to say a word to someone else."

"What's the matter?" He Songwen was stunned.

The other party glanced at him: "Zhou Zhengqing, he has been friends with Shen Xiaocheng for many years. The person you want to meet tonight is Shen Jin, his youngest son. Your matter is settled."

He Songwen was stunned when he heard Zhou Zhengqing's name. Knowing that it was his niece who was helping me, I felt as if I was weighing a stone. I lowered my head to touch the cigarette case and handed him a cigarette. I walked sideways to the corner and started smoking, one after another. As I walked, there was a circle of cigarette butts on the soles of my feet.

That night, it was inevitable to get drunk again.

He Songwen didn't know if this was possible. That Mr. Shen was very good at playing with words. His words were impeccable and made people iron the papers. But after thinking about it, he didn't say anything. He didn't say anything directly. He didn't say whether he would help or not. He didn't say it directly. Unlike those who simply take advantage of others and raise prices, he was not insulted or looked down upon throughout the whole process. If it weren't for the pressure, it would have seemed like he was making friends.

Later I thought, my surname is Shen, so I am naturally incomparable to those outside.

He Songwen was so drunk that his face was red, his head was dizzy, and he couldn't walk by himself. He had to rely on others to help him walk in the direction where the car was parked.

Behind him, two figures stood in the distance.

Shen Jin put his coat on his forearms. After seeing He Songwen get into the car, he looked away, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said lightly: "Let me tell you, brother, are you a little too inhumane? "

The people around him didn't respond and raised their hands to look at the time on their watches.

"Seriously, that's not how you chase girls. You will be called a pervert." After saying that, I felt that I was right and asked curiously: "Hey, did she ever call you a pervert?"

Pervert.

No, but I called him an asshole.

Shen Lie glanced at him sideways: "Isn't that enough for you to say today?"

"That's different, and it was you who invited me here. As soon as the person walks away, you're going to kill the donkey with your back? I'm also caring about you. What I'm doing is It's not easy for my brother. I was worried that there was no one around you before, for fear that a brother-in-law would pop up. Now, I am even more worried. Let me meet you one day and see who is so unlucky. "

"..."

Shen Jinzai. The youngest of the Shen family, he is young, looks like a boy and a girl, is very handsome, and is loved by the elders in the family. He is good at everything except for one thing: his talkativeness has never been cured.

He knew the whole story about He Songwen, and he had a share in it. He had no choice but to do it. For the first time, Shen Lie asked him to do something. How could a younger brother refuse?

Although the matter was done, there were still many things that deserved condemnation. Shen Jin found it quite scary. Shen Lie did everything he could to back it up and knew all the major and minor accidents that had occurred in the He Songwen project from beginning to end. The person in charge of each link was sure that Chen Jing'an would ask Zhou Zhengqing for help, and Zhou Zhengqing had a strong personality and rarely Asking for help, he would only ask his friend Shen Xiaocheng for this kind of thing, and in the end the matter would be left to him naturally.

There is no deviation in the whole process.

Who in the right mind pursues girls like this?

Shen Lie raised his eyelids lightly and said leisurely: "What's that lady's name, Shu? Do you need my help?"

Shen Jin suddenly opened his eyes, aroused a cold sweat, and called brother repeatedly: "My heart is not tired. Don't worry, brother, I just want to have a normal relationship."

The car has already arrived.

"Open the door?" Shen Lie said slowly.

Shen Jin responded, trotted over, opened the car door, and made a gesture of invitation: "Brother, please sit down."

-

Chen Jing'an was waiting in front of the hotel where He Songwen was staying. She knew that he was going out to socialize again tonight, bringing a packed sober drink with him. She called for soup and hangover medicine, and He Songwen came back with unclear words. He laughed a few more times and said it was okay, and asked her not to worry about it in the future.

The car parked in front of the hotel, but it was not He Songwen's car. The license plate passed by at a glance, and the numbers were a bit strange. Without thinking too much, she stepped forward to meet it.

He Songwen pushed the door open and came down. His body was shaking uncontrollably. She stepped forward to help him. He Songwen recognized her and grinned: "I'm fine. I drank a little more, just a little."

The smell of tobacco and alcohol was overwhelming. No need to guess how much you drank.

Chen Jing'an didn't say much. She knew that he couldn't control whether she drank more or less. She remembered that he said it was okay and the matter was done, so she breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, this matter could finally come to an end.

Just as he took a step forward, the driver's door was opened. The driver got out of the car, closed the door hard, then walked around the front of the car, stopped, looked at Chen Jing'an who was struggling to support He Songwen, smiled slightly, and said hello. : "Miss Chen, long time no see."

After recognizing who it was, Chen Jing'an froze in place, like a lightning strike.

How to describe that feeling, as if the world was turned upside down, buildings collapsed and annihilated, floods were raging... Inside, Chen Jing'an was in turmoil, but she kept an almost stubborn face, calm on the surface. She turned her face stiffly and continued to walk forward, struggling. Moving awkwardly.

It's like the driver didn't show up, and Shen Lie, this person, wouldn't suddenly appear when everything is going in the right direction.

Chen Jing'an passed the driver.

The driver looked at her back, folded his hands, and said in a moderate voice, "Ms. Chen, I'll wait for you downstairs. Mr. Shen has a few words for you."

After a pause, Chen Jing'an walked into the hotel. door.

Chen Jing'an watched He Songwen drink soup and take medicine, then wash up and fall asleep. She cleaned the table, sat there for a while, and finally got up and closed the door to leave.

Downstairs, the driver is still there.

Chen Jing'an asked straight to the point: "What exactly is Shen Lie going to do? Did he also do what happened to my uncle?"

The driver did not answer smoothly: "Miss Chen, Mr. Shen suggests that you ask Mr. He to stop asking for help. , drinking is harmful to the body, all he has to do is wait for news.

"Waiting for news, what news?"

The driver did not say.

Chen Jing'an tilted her head and looked at the night, vaguely understanding that the net had never been broken, it was there, always there, but quietly, which made her lucky enough to think that she had escaped long ago.

When she turned around again, Chen Jing'an's eyes were like daggers and she asked, "Don't you have children? Do you? Do your children know that you are doing this kind of thing outside?"

She felt it was ironic.

Waiting for news, naturally waiting for her good news.

The driver just said: "Miss Chen, I just listen to others."

Chen Jing'an lowered her eyes, but she didn't know. After a while of silence, she said: "Okay, I want to see Shen Lie."

"Sorry, Mr. Shen. I don't have time these days. Someone will inform you in a few days."

"..."

Chen Jing'an felt that her self-esteem was being crushed again and again. She hated it so much that Shen Lie had the final say and it was all up to him. To control, she can only be led along.

He is a bastard and a beast.

—It

was Ji Hong who told Chen Jing'an the time, time and place. The location was in a famous wealthy area, a single-family villa, with excellent privacy. Before leaving, Chen Jing'an told Ruan Ling that he would call the police if she didn't reply for too long. Although he felt that Shen Lie couldn't do such a thing, he still had to take precautions.

Ruan Ling was worried about her and wanted to accompany her, but was refused, worried that she would be implicated again.

When she arrived at the address, someone was already waiting for her. He took her inside and stopped at a modern new villa. He swiped his card to open the door. The other person did not go in. He told her that she would just go through the courtyard and that Shen Lie was waiting for her inside.

Chen Jing'an walked in.

The sunshine is too good, shining on the green plants and the white glass walls, making it look so bright that it seems fake.

Chen Jing'an saw Shen Lie. He was wearing home clothes, long sleeves and long trousers. They were loose and loose, but his shoulder lines were straight, making the clothes stiff and shapely. Shen Lie was on the island stage, wearing a black apron around his waist. He was very different from his usual formal attire, more relaxed and less distant.

Is he cooking?

Realizing this, Chen Jing'an felt inconsistent and strange.

Shen Lie didn't raise his eyes and let her pass. He held the knife with clear joints in his fingers. The wagyu beef under the knife had beautiful lines. He cut the meat into thick slices with a familiar posture. The knife and the meat were docile under his hands. He cut A small portion of the good meat was used as sashimi, and two or three slices were delicately arranged on a plate with the prepared sauce in front of her.

"Have a try."

Chen Jing'an didn't move, not knowing what he wanted to do: "Mr. Shen can also cook."

"Because he is pickier than some people, in order to satisfy his appetite, he sometimes does it himself. It’s fresh, I’ve only done it a few times, and no one else has tasted it. You’re the first one.”

Chen Jing’an’s eyelashes trembled.

"Each ingredient has a suitable processing method and the most suitable time to taste it," Shen Lie continued unhurriedly: "This one arrived last night and was refrigerated at constant temperature and humidity for 28 days until the moisture is lost. , which makes the meat fibers dense and ensures the best taste."

He explained seriously, as if he was just inviting her to eat.

Chen Jing'an couldn't guess what he was thinking. Under his gaze, she wiped her hands with a wet towel, picked up a piece with chopsticks, and dipped it lightly. The meat was tender and soft, and the fat fragrance overflowed her lips and teeth. It was sweet and sweet.

"How is it?" Shen Lie asked.

Chen Jing'an reluctantly nodded.

She didn't know how to react, she wasn't here to eat, and this wasn't their relationship.

Shen Lie smiled, took the rice and formed it into a ball, covered it with a thin piece of meat, and grilled it with a spray gun for a while. He placed it on the plate and continued to pass it over.

Chen Jing'an frowned, picked it up and ate it again. The rice absorbed the fat from the roasting, giving it a different taste. The ingredients are top-notch and the processing methods are simple and unpretentious.

Shen Lie washed his hands and started handling other ingredients again. While handling them, he chatted with Chen Jing'an about the processing methods and cooking methods. His handling methods were clean and neat, which was pleasing to the eye. Every ingredient was unique to him. Respected enough, he took the trouble to handle every tedious step, even enjoying it.

He is the executioner.

A patient executioner will only make people feel fear.

So when Shen Lie got better at handling the ingredients and became more organized and clearer, she felt scared. She seemed to have become meat on the chopping board, to be slaughtered, eaten raw or grilled, all depends on his wishes.

Chen Jing'an had no appetite at all. The food was heavy in her stomach. She put down her chopsticks restlessly. Her patience had already been worn out. She asked, "Mr. Shen, what on earth do you want me to do to make you let my uncle go?"

Shen Lie While handling the sea cucumber, he tapped its abdomen with the back of the knife. After a while, all the internal organs were vomited out. This is their way of protecting themselves. They confuse the enemy and can grow back after escaping.

Hearing this, he raised his eyes to look at her, his features were clean and his eyes were magnanimous: "I want Miss Chen to be my girlfriend."

Chen Jing'an only felt sarcastic when he heard this: "What kind of girlfriend?"

Shen Lie put down the knife and took off slowly. Gloves: "You can hold hands, hug, and kiss, just like other people's girlfriends. As for other appearances, maybe it's because I'm a few years older than you. I don't know what new meanings a girlfriend can have nowadays."
