Chapter 141: Bloody Drama
An Yuan stared out the window blankly.
She had been sitting in this position for nearly forty minutes.
In Yan An's memory, An Yuan has always maintained her lively and happy nature. Even in the most difficult times, she rarely sighed in front of him. Yan An has a cognition in his heart, that is, his optimistic and strong wife has always supported him, so that he can get to where he is today. Now seeing An Yuan sitting there in a daze like this, he can't help but feel uneasy and worried.
Because An Keke ran away from her marriage, she must be missing her family again.
It's all because of me that she can't go home.
Thinking of this, Yan An stepped forward. Just as he was about to speak to comfort her, he saw An Yuan patting her knees vigorously:
"Come here cat!!!"
Mr. Cat, who was lying on the windowsill, slowly sat up.
"Cat, come here!" An Yuan patted her knees and invited Mr. Cat in a cute voice.
Mr. Cat jumped off the windowsill.
"Yes, yes, yes!! Jump onto mommy's lap!!"
Mr. Cat walked slowly past An Yuan indifferently.
"..." An Yuan sighed sadly.
"...This cat has never paid any attention to you!" Yan An said.
"One day it will pay attention to me!"
"..." Yan An opened his mouth. He wanted to persuade An Yuan to give up her efforts on Mr. Cat, but what he said in the end was this: "An Yuan, let's go back to your old house to see Dad during the New Year this year."
An Yuan looked up at him: "What's wrong with you? Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"
"Seeing An Keke, I think we should go back."
"I don't want to."
"Let's go home. Your brother and your father must still miss you."
"No!! I won't go back!" An Yuan said, "Have you forgotten how my dad humiliated you the last time you came back with me? Have you forgotten everything?"
"That's all right."
"No. You call him dad, will he acknowledge you? We have been married for so many years, and you have tried many times to give him a way out, but he still does the same. He doesn't respect you, which means he doesn't respect the choice of me as his daughter. I have nothing to say to him!!"
"but……"
"Yan An, we worked so hard to start our business and never asked the An family for a penny. Why does he look down on you? We are all human beings with two eyes and one nose, so what is the difference between high and low? What am I in his heart? Am I his private property that he can manipulate at will? Ever since I left that house, he no longer regards me as his daughter, I know it very well."
"I always feel that he just has his self-esteem hurt, and he still misses you deep down."
An Yuan shook her head. "Yan An, you don't understand my father. He is an arrogant, overbearing, selfish, dictatorial and feudal patriarch. My daughter's affection is not as good as his face. My daughter's happiness is not as good as his authority. Isn't it enough that I have seen him for more than 20 years? Don't say it anymore. Just like in previous years, we will spend the New Year with your parents with little Zhenzhuzhu, and that will be happy."
"An Yuan, don't you want to go over and burn some incense in front of your mother's tomb this year?" Yan An said softly, holding her hand.
"..." Hearing this, An Yuan fell silent. After a while, An Yuan gently leaned her head on Yan An's arms, "Hey, husband, you know, the one I miss the most is my mother."
"I know." Yan An's hand stroked his wife's soft hair.
The shrill ringtone of the cell phone suddenly rang.
Yan An answered the phone.
Wei Hongzhuo asked anxiously: "Yan An, has Zhang Bowen come to your house?"
"No."
"Zhang Bowen is missing!!"
"Bowen is an adult. Are you sure he's not just going out to relax?"
"You don't know, his mental state is very unstable! My cousin has repeatedly told me not to leave him alone. I have had people keep an eye on him, but he just disappeared in the blink of an eye. My people couldn't find him anywhere." Wei Hongzhuo's voice was quite anxious, "Is An Keke with you?"
“No.”
"You guys hurry up and go find An Keke. I 'm afraid this kid might get into trouble because he's not thinking straight."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Yan An'anyuan looked at each other worriedly.
Please don't let anything happen.
Xiaozhen visited the Thousand Faces Cafe again.
As soon as he pushed the door open, He Zhining said with a smile, "Xiao Zhen, you're here."
This "brother-in-law" has progressed to calling him by his nickname.
Xiao Zhen didn't bother to correct him and asked directly: "Has Sister Ke Ke come to your place?"
"No." He Zhining looked outside subconsciously, "Keke is coming soon? She didn't tell me."
Xiao Zhen found a seat and sat down. Mr. Cat then jumped onto the seat skillfully and said, "Give me three glasses of juice."
"Actually, the coffee my brother-in-law mixes is better." He Zhining handed a menu to Xiao Zhen, "You can choose the special blend you want to drink. Do you want to try my brother-in-law's craftsmanship?" He bent down and whispered, "Order anything you want, and it's all free for you."
Xiaozhen stared at the menu in her hand. There was a row of fancy names on it, which didn't seem to have anything to do with coffee.
“They are all my special blends.”
"Then order the Eternal Friendship." Xiao Zhen looked at the menu and said, "What is this? Losa? Do you have Losa-themed coffee here?"
Mr. Cat asked, "Lothar? The cartoon? The one your sister watched?"
"Yes, that popular cartoon now ." Xiao Zhen said to He Zhining, "Your store will also be linked with the cartoon?"
"It's a long story..."
"He Zhining!!!" A loud shout suddenly came from the door.
Xiao Zhen turned around and saw a pale young man standing at the entrance of the store. His eyes were red as he stared at He Zhining.
"This, the real boss has come to our door." Xiao Zhen muttered.
He Zhining still maintained a polite smile and said, "I am He Zhining. May I ask who you are?"
"He Zhining!" The young man stepped forward. He was handsome, but his complexion was too pale. His voice was trembling, "I am Zhang Bowen."
"I heard about you from Coco." He Zhining's expression remained unchanged and his smile was gentle.
"Keke is my fiancée." Zhang Bowen gritted his teeth and said, "We have decided to get married next year!"
"Coco also told me so. But right now, Coco herself does not agree with this marriage."
The customers in the coffee shop were talking to each other in low voices. "What a ridiculous scene," a female customer said softly.
"I knew Xiao He was no mortal!"
"Excitement! Xiao He, go for it, don't be scared!" Two regular customers cheered for He Zhining not far away.
"Don't think I don't know that you approached Coco for a purpose."
"Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid you have misunderstood me." He Zhining said with a smile, "Why don't you sit down first. We can talk slowly."
"Don't be so playful with me." Zhang Bowen roared, and he took out a stack of checks from his pocket, "Name your price!"
"What?"
"How much do you want?? Anyway, you are approaching Coco for money! You name a price and I will satisfy you."
The guests whispered, "Here they come!! Classic lines from the rich and powerful, come on, throw your money at me! Xiao He, take it !"
"Mr. Zhang, do you think I approached An Keke for money?"
"What else could it be for?"
He Zhining sighed and shook his head: "In your eyes, is An Keke a woman who has no charm at all and can only use money to attract men?"
"That's not what I meant."
"Your behavior is not only disrespectful to yourself, but also to Coco. Coco is a very pure and beautiful girl. I admire her sincerely. I think that as Coco's ex-fiancé, you should know how precious she is. Do you love her for money?"
"I……"
He Zhining took a step forward and frowned, "Have you been drinking? No wonder you are so irrational. Come and sit down. I'll make you a drink to sober you up."
"Go away!! Stop being so hypocritical!! Coco and I have known each other since we were young. We have known each other for twenty years. Twenty years. We have real feelings for each other. How could you..." At the end, Zhang Bowen's voice turned into a trembling cry, "How can you understand the feelings between Coco and me!"
"Go sit over there for a while and don't get excited." He Zhining called the waiter and asked him to pour him a glass of sour plum juice.
"Go away! Go away!" Zhang Bowen pushed away the clerk who came to support him, "You don't understand how important Coco is to me. You don't understand." He staggered out of the cafe.
The clerk said: "He smelled of alcohol. He drank a lot of alcohol."
"Follow him and watch him, don't let anything happen to him." He Zhining ordered. The clerk quickly pushed the door open and followed.
Captain Madara poked his head out of his backpack and said, "Tsk, tsk, that was a classic soap opera scene for mankind."
"It's a pity that the heroine is not here."
Xiao Zhen said: "At present, He Zhining is the winner. But the other future brother-in-law looks a bit pitiful."
"I support He Zhining too! Think about the money behind him!"
"There's no suspense about the outcome."
Suddenly, a passerby screamed outside the door. The clerk who had just followed him opened the door and shouted in panic: "Oh no! That gentleman just jumped into the river!!!"
"What!!!" the customers in the store exclaimed collectively.
Zhang Bowen jumped into the river.
He Zhining rushed out.
Xiao Zhen also rushed out of the cafe.
At the river next to the cafe, a group of passersby were screaming and exclaiming at Zhang Bowen who was struggling in the river. But it was freezing cold and most of the passersby couldn't swim. Some people approached the river and took a pole to try to pass it to Zhang Bowen, while others called the police directly. Zhang Bowen was struggling and sinking, and his head was almost invisible.
He Zhining rushed to the river and jumped in.
A few minutes later, He Zhining, who was soaking wet, pulled the man out.
Zhang Bowen was lying on the river bank, his face pale and unconscious. He Zhining half-knelt down and gave him emergency artificial respiration.
Puff! Zhang Bowen spat out a mouthful of water, coughed a few times, and then came to his senses. The onlookers applauded.
"This handsome guy is really good! Well done!" "Young man, you have to thank him!" "Yes, thank him very much! He saved your life." "It's not a big deal, why jump into the river? Your own life is the most important! Thank him!"
Zhang Bowen seemed extremely ashamed and finally sobered up.
At this time, the police car and the ambulance came roaring. Zhang Bowen wrapped in a blanket and got on the ambulance. Before getting on the car, he bowed to He Zhining and thanked him. The young man's face and eyes were red, "I'm sorry. I drank too much and my mind is a little unclear for a while."
"It's okay. I'm glad you're okay."
"Thank you." Zhang Bowen looked up at He Zhining for a while, then sighed, "I understand Coco's thoughts now."
Zhang Bowen was taken away by ambulance. After this incident, it seemed that he would not cause trouble for He Zhining again.
"Humans are very interesting creatures." He Zhining said to Xiao Zhen, "Actually, Mr. Zhang Bowen is also quite interesting."
"He is your love rival, but you seem to have conquered him. But I think you will still face many bosses next."
"Yeah?"
"According to my understanding, both the An family and the Wei family behind Zhang Bowen are very troublesome. You should follow the local human tradition and prepare to fight the bosses one level at a time."
He Zhining smiled. He had just changed into dry clothes, and his hair was wet and loose, which made his lips and teeth look even more red and his face even more handsome. "But now I have the support of my dear cousin, what else do I need to worry about?"
This guy probably has maxed out his flirting skills, Xiao Zhen thought to herself.
Xiaozhen returned home in the evening.
Even Yan An and An Yuan knew about Zhang Bowen's failed suicide attempt by jumping into the river, and they both looked unhappy.
That night, An Yuanyan and An Keke talked for a long time. Xiao Zhen didn't listen to the specific content of the conversation. But he knew that no matter who came forward, An Keke would not change her mind .
In the middle of the night, Xiaozhen was awakened by a phone call.
He looked at the caller and saw it was He Zhining.
"Why are you calling so late? What's the matter?"
"There's something very troublesome." He Zhining's voice was very low.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you remember what I did today? I saved Zhang Bowen."
"Remember, isn't Zhang Bowen okay?"
"It's not him, it's me who's in trouble."
"What’s wrong with you?"
"At that time, in order to save people, the situation was urgent, so I used my mouth to contact him, but I didn't expect..."
"Yeah, aren't you just giving artificial respiration?"
"The Leopards' genitals are mouth organs. I accidentally ingested his DNA while giving him artificial respiration."
"Wait a minute!"
"At that time, he wanted to live, and I wanted to save him. Unintentionally, we reached a mutual understanding."
"That is to say..."
He Zhining said sadly: "I just had a check-up, and the result is..."
"What?"
"I'm also pregnant with Zhang Bowen's child."
“Oh shit, shit!!”
