First spoiled, then love

Chapter 494: It turns out that she is a sugar daddy (11000)

However, no matter how much Chen Qingrong wanted to resist, it was of no avail. He could only watch helplessly as the thick and large silver needle pierced into his ear.

But miraculously, he didn't feel any pain at all.

"Have you come in, Mr. Fu?"

"Already in."

"Oh."

The acupuncture treatment lasted for an hour in this very strange posture.

Before leaving, he took some Chinese medicine from Mr. Fu. Mr. Fu repeatedly told him to take the medicine on time and not to use devices such as headphones until he fully recovered. Even when he was on the phone or answering a call, he had to turn down the volume to protect his ears.

Except for the Chinese medicine which made him look embarrassed, Chen Qingrong could accept everything else.

After this matter was over, Tang Xiaoru and Chen Qingrong went to the company first. As for Tang Chengshan, he stayed and continued chatting with Mr. Fu.

It wasn't that Tang Xiaoru insisted on taking Chen Qingrong to work in the company. It was mainly because Liu Dabin's secretary Nana sent her a WeChat message saying that their boss wanted to visit them in their company, so Tang Xiaoru had no choice but to take Chen Qingrong back first.

"Husband? Can you hear me now?" Tang Xiaoru asked tentatively.

Chen Qingrong shook his head, "I can't hear it."

"Hate it." Tang Xiaoru patted his thigh and said gently, "You heard what Master Fu said just now, so in order for you to recover as soon as possible, you must drink the medicine obediently. This time I will not indulge you like before. Even if you find it bitter and spit it out, I will pick it up and put it back in your mouth."

When taking care of Chen Qingrong last year, Chen Qingrong felt that the Chinese medicine was too bitter, and sometimes he would pour it out before finishing it. Every time Tang Xiaoru wanted to blame him, she couldn't bear to blame him when she saw his aggrieved look.

But this time it was different. This time it was to make Chen Qingrong's ears better, so Tang Xiaoru was determined to force Chen Qingrong to drink it all.

Come on, Tang Xiaoru, you can resist Chen Qingrong's coquetry.

Chen Qingrong smiled bitterly and said, "You don't have to say such disgusting things. Just drive peacefully, my dear. You will be my exclusive driver for the next period of time."

"I see. When you couldn't drive before, didn't I always drive you? I'm used to it."

Now Chen Qingrong has problems with his ears and can't hear intermittently. Under such circumstances, even if he wants to drive, Tang Xiaoru will not agree to let him drive. If he drives, the probability of a car accident is estimated to soar to more than 80%.

Not long after they arrived at the company, Liu Dabin and his secretary Nana came.

Nana is wearing a pair of white stockings today. They are not completely white, but they make her beautiful legs look sexy and attractive.

Chen Qingrong guessed that Boss Liu was also a stockings fan, otherwise why would he ask his assistant to change stockings and wear them for him every day?
It can't really be a career requirement, right?

That kind of talk is only enough to fool a three-year-old child.

"Mr. Liu, you are here. Welcome, welcome."

"Mr. Tang, you're too polite." Liu Dabin stretched out his hand and shook hands with Tang Xiaoru. He said with shame, "I should have come to visit you yesterday, but something happened yesterday and delayed me. I'm really sorry."

Tang Xiaoru said quickly, "Mr. Liu, what are you talking about? We are very grateful that you can come to visit us. Please come inside and talk."

"it is good."

Four people entered Tang Xiaoru's office.

After sitting down, Liu Dabin asked, "Has the criminal been caught?"

Chen Qingrong said, "The criminal has been arrested and the litigation process is about to begin."

"They caught him so quickly? The police in the mainland are much more efficient than our police." Liu Dabin was a little emotional and asked the two, "Except for Mr. Chen's head injury, Mr. Tang is not injured, right?"

Tang Xiaoru shook her head gently, "I'm not injured. Chen Qingrong protected me very well. Besides, not only was his head broken, his ears were also damaged. Sometimes he could hear sounds, and sometimes he couldn't. Sigh."

"How could it be so serious? Have you seen a doctor?" Liu Dabin looked at Chen Qingrong again, "Mr. Chen, why don't you come with me to Guangdong Province? I'll take you to see the best doctor in Guangdong Province to treat your ears. You're still so young. It would be a pity if you really become deaf."

Chen Qingrong smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Liu. But I have already seen a Chinese doctor. He gave me acupuncture and prescribed Chinese medicine. I believe I will get better soon. After all, the doctor also said that this is just a sudden illness and not permanent. The probability of recovery is still very high."

"That's good, that's good." Liu Dabin seemed relieved and changed the subject. "I came here in a hurry and didn't have time to buy gifts for you two. However, I just happened to have a business to discuss with you two, so I'll consider it as a gift to make up for it."

Snapped.

Having said that, he snapped his fingers at Nana behind him without even turning his head.

The latter quickly took out a yellow file bag from the bag he was carrying and handed it to him.

Liu Dabin took it and placed it on Tang Xiaoru's desk. He smiled and said, "This is the result of a discussion I had with the leaders of the relevant departments in Shanghai. I bought a large piece of land and plan to build the first chain hotel under our company in Shanghai. I would like to let you two take charge of this project."

"Really?" Tang Xiaoru was immediately surprised. "Does Mr. Liu really believe that our company can take on this important task?"

Liu Dabin smiled and said, "I have also asked someone to investigate your company's performance in the past few days. Although your company has just opened for less than a year, it has already taken on several large projects during this period, and the completions have been quite good. So, I believe you have the ability to do this well."

"I have roughly calculated the profit of this project for you. It is about 700 million. Although the money is not much, as long as you can do a good job in this project, I can introduce more of my friends to you later."

Isn’t seven hundred million too much?
Chen Qingrong was shocked.

How much money does Boss Liu have?
If all 700 million were converted into cash, it would be enough to fill up a semi-trailer, right?
Rich people are so scary.

too frightening.

Tang Xiaoru was also very excited, but she behaved decently and said with a smile, "Okay, we will definitely live up to your trust, Mr. Liu, and do our best to complete this project!"

"Yes." Liu Dabin stood up with a smile, "Then I'll leave this project book here for you to take a look at. You can come up with a plan for me when the time comes. I can't leave Shanghai for a while this time, so you don't have to worry. We can take it slowly."

"Oh, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"I'll take you there, Mr. Liu."

Tang Xiaoru also quickly stood up, and she and Chen Qingrong sent Liu Dabin and the other person into the elevator.

After seeing them off, Tang Xiaoru hugged Chen Qingrong.

"What's wrong?" Chen Qingrong asked with some surprise.

Tang Xiaoru murmured, "I'm just so happy. I got another big project. This is all thanks to you, my lucky general."

Chen Qingrong was amused. "I didn't do anything, so how come I became your lucky general? I don't want to accept this compliment."

"Humph."

After Tang Xiaoru let him go, she rolled her eyes at him and took him back to the company.

clap clap.

Tang Xiaoru clapped her hands a few times and said, "Please stop what you are doing for a moment. I want to tell you something."

Everyone immediately stopped their work and looked at her.

Tang Xiaoru said seriously, "The Mr. Liu who just came is the CEO of Crown Summer, a famous hotel chain in Guangdong Province. Mr. Liu has just discussed cooperation with us and wants to hand over the construction and design project of his group's first hotel in the mainland, in Shanghai, to us. This is a big project that is no less than that of Haoda Real Estate. Everyone must work hard. Don't worry, there will be a big bonus!"

clap clap.

There was thunderous applause and everyone's face was filled with excitement.

But they know Tang Xiaoru. Tang Xiaoru never makes empty promises. She always gives bonuses when she says she will, and each time the bonuses are very generous. It is more exciting to work for a boss like this.

Tang Xiaoru smiled and waved her hand to signal them not to applaud yet, and then continued, "Each team should still submit a design plan to me according to the old rules. I will ask Chen Qingrong to copy the project materials and distribute them to you later. This is not a rush job, so you must give full play to your creativity. I want to see the best and the most excellent ideas. Come on!"

"come on!"

"Okay, get busy." Seeing everyone so motivated, Tang Xiaoru immediately showed a satisfied smile, and turned to Chen Qingrong and said, "Husband, come with me to the office and make copies of the information that General Manager Liu gave me just now and distribute them to the team leaders."

Chen Qingrong said weakly, "Can I go to the toilet first?"

Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes immediately, "A lazy donkey will produce more shit and piss."

Then she went back to the office.

Chen Qingrong was not in a hurry and went to the toilet first.

Just as I had taken care of my physiological needs, I saw Gao Qiang coming in.

"Mr. Chen, what's wrong with your head? When you and Mr. Tang first came today, I saw you and wanted to ask you, but I never found the chance. Were you beaten by someone?" Gao Qiang fired off a barrage of questions with concern.

The gauze on Chen Qingrong's head has been removed, but the wound can still be vaguely seen, even if Chen Qingrong lets down his bangs to cover it.

Chen Qingrong didn't explain much, and just said casually, "I did encounter some trouble, but it has been resolved now. Don't worry about me, just come up with a plan."

"I will definitely come up with a good plan. As for you, forget it. If you say it's okay, then it's okay. I believe you." Gao Qiang also saw that Chen Qingrong didn't want to say more, so he was too embarrassed to ask any more questions.

Chen Qingrong put his arm around his shoulders and gossiped, "So how far have you and your elementary school teacher progressed? Have you crossed the line?"

Gao Qiang blushed, "No, we said we would wait until the wedding night."

"Then we should kiss, right?"

"Yes, kiss."

"That is not bad."

Chen Qingrong thought that no matter how conservative one was, they should at least kiss each other. If they didn't even kiss each other, then it would be purely platonic.

Two more days passed like this.

News came from Officer Yao that Zheng Hailong's parents wanted to meet with them to discuss a settlement, but were sternly rejected by Chen Qingrong. However, to show their sincerity, Zheng Hailong's parents withdrew the lawsuit.

It is also possible that the cancellation was not done to show sincerity, but because the plaintiff knew that there was no hope of winning.

As for Zheng Hailong's case, it has been submitted to the court. The trial can begin once the court is ready. Chen Qingrong and Tang Xiaoru will also be present at that time.

After all, they are the plaintiffs and also the victims.

Another piece of news was that Xiaoyuan and Liang Qingyun had already obtained their marriage certificate. On the night of obtaining the certificate, Liang Qingyun invited Chen Qingrong and him to have dinner together, and also invited Gao Qiang and his wife.

Liang Qingyun didn't have much contact with Gao Qiang, but he knew that Gao Qiang and Xiao Yuan had a good relationship, so he should invite them as well.

"Congratulations, congratulations, you two have finally achieved your goal." Chen Qingrong smiled and toasted Liang Qingyun and the other two.

Liang Qingyun said happily, "Xiaoyuan and I can be together, thanks to you and sister-in-law, brother Erhu. You are our matchmakers. Come, Xiaoyuan and I will toast you a glass together."

"Okay, cheers."

Ding.

After the four of them clinked their glasses, Chen Qingrong pulled Gao Qiang and the other man to clink their glasses.

Tang Xiaoru also asked, "After you get the marriage certificate, when do you plan to hold the wedding?"

Liang Qingyun and Xiaoyuan looked at each other and said, "You tell me, wife."

Xiao Yuan blushed and said, "We plan to hold the wedding on National Day. We consulted a fortune teller, and he said that if we don't pursue too much, National Day is the best day."

"That's true. There are indeed a lot of people getting married on National Day. Please remember to send us invitations when the time comes." Tang Xiaoru chuckled.

"must!"

Xiaoyuan looked at Chen Qingrong very seriously.

Liang Qingyun looked at Chen Qingrong and Gao Qiang respectively, "Brother Erhu, Brother Gao Qiang, I hope you two can come to be best men when the time comes. I don't have many brothers, and I can only find two at the moment, which is too few. Xiaoyuan has three or four bridesmaids, so I'll count on you two to help."

Chen Qingrong smiled and said, "No problem, we will definitely be there."

Gao Qiang also patted his chest and promised, "Okay, as long as I provide meals, I can be the driver, not to mention the best man."

But he was still curious and asked Xiaoyuan, "Xiaoyuan, why do you have so many bridesmaids? I've known you for so long, but I didn't know you had so many female friends."

Xiaoyuan was speechless, "Can I tell you everything? Don't underestimate me, asshole."

"Haha."

After returning home from dinner, Tang Xiaoru went to the kitchen to prepare Chinese medicine for Chen Qingrong.

Chen Qingrong was typing in the study at the moment. Although the door was closed, the damn smell of Chinese medicine still seeped in through the crack in the door.

He sniffed subconsciously. It would have been better if he hadn't sniffed. This sniff almost cost him his life.

Chen Qingrong quickly pinched his nose, opened the door and went to the kitchen and shouted, "Wife, I've already eaten and drunk enough tonight, why are you still making me a pot of Chinese medicine? It shouldn't be a big problem if I skip a meal, right?"

"There is a problem." Tang Xiaoru turned around and glared at him, "You must follow the doctor's orders. Have you forgotten what Elder Fu said?"

"And you are so weak. I am squatting next to the stove and I don't mind the smell. You are pinching your nose. Are you still a man?"

"Well, I'm mainly afraid of lighting the stove in our house. What if we get carbon dioxide poisoning?"

"I've opened the window. Don't worry about it. Go write."

"Ok."

Chen Qingrong had no choice but to go back to the study and close the door again.

However, he heard a brief buzzing sound in his ears again, and this time there was not only a buzzing sound, but it also felt like a needle pricked his head.

Chen Qingrong quickly patted his head and felt much better.

The beeping sound is gone and the headache is gone.

call.

call.

In just a dozen seconds, sweat began to break out on Chen Qingrong's forehead.

"It seems to be more serious than I thought. Could it be that I am not just suffering from sudden deafness?"

Chen Qingrong always felt a little uneasy.

But he didn't dare tell Tang Xiaoru about this, for fear of making her even more worried.

Chen Qingrong even wondered what would happen if he died suddenly?
Well, putting aside other things, readers will definitely curse at me, right?

drip.

The clear WeChat message notification instantly made Chen Qingrong excited.

Fortunately, I could hear it clearly.

He picked up his phone and saw that it was a WeChat message from Ni Shengnan.

"Brother Chen, are you and Sister Xiaoru still in Shanghai? I will be back in Shanghai tomorrow, let's meet up and get together."

"You're coming back tomorrow?" Chen Qingrong was a little surprised. "The trip is over so soon?"

Ni Shengnan, "Yeah, I've been to all the places I should go, and the most important thing is that I miss Cheng Cheng. I want to go to his grave to see him."

Chen Qingrong suddenly asked, "Will you come back with your new boyfriend?"

Ni Shengnan was stunned. "New boyfriend? Where did I get a new boyfriend? Brother Chen, did you misunderstand something?"

Chen Qingrong, "Wipe your sweat. I saw a photo of you and a guy in your circle of friends a few days ago. You looked very intimate, so I thought that was your new boyfriend."

Ni Shengnan, "Roll your eyes, that's not it, and that's not a man, she's a girl."

Chen Qingrong, "Female Haizi??? Which girl looks so rough?"

Ni Shengnan, "She is really a woman. I am not lying to you. I met her during my trip. We met at two scenic spots in a row by chance. I took a photo with her. I also have her WeChat. If you don't believe me, I'll ask you to add her and ask her."

Chen Qingrong, "No, no, I believe it."

He thought to himself, if you wanted to deceive me, you could just send me a fake WeChat account. There is no point in adding WeChat for verification.

Ni Shengnan added, "Brother Chen, don't worry. I only have Cheng Cheng in my heart. I can't accommodate any other man. I won't look for a boyfriend again."

Chen Qingrong, "Wipe your sweat, that's not what I meant. You said that as if I was deliberately putting a chastity lock on you. I support you finding a new partner, and so do Old Sun's parents. We all hope that you can be happy."

Ni Shengnan, "Lovely, I understand. I am already very happy now. I always carry the photos of Cheng Cheng and I with me. He has accompanied me to many places. I know that he is always there."

Chen Qingrong didn't know what to say.

Emotional pain is so torturous, but Ni Shengnan is still strong enough, at least she didn't commit suicide for love. Alas.

After finishing writing, Chen Qingrong clicked publish.

Just at this moment, Tang Xiaoru also called him to take medicine, but Chen Qingrong pretended not to hear it.

Squeak.

Tang Xiaoru opened the door and called out twice tentatively, "Husband, husband, can't you hear me again?"

Chen Qingrong looked at her with a bewildered look.

Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes and suddenly said, "Oh, I think I'm having my period. Where did I put my sanitary napkin?"

"In the TV cabinet." Chen Qingrong said subconsciously.

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he had been fooled, because Tang Xiaoru was looking at him with a playful expression.

No matter how thick-skinned Chen Qingrong was, he blushed this time.

"Naughty," he spat.

Tang Xiaoru was speechless, "Who of us is naughty? You know I'm worried about you, but you still play this trick on me. It's fun, right?"

Chen Qingrong had no choice but to stand up and hug her. "Don't be angry, don't be angry. I just want to add some fun to the boring life."

"Don't hug me."

"I'll just hug you."

Tang Xiaoru struggled, Chen Qingrong pushed hard. She struggled, he pushed hard.

In the end, Tang Xiaoru gave up because she was not as strong as Chen Qingrong.

"Hmph." She muttered, "I won't bother with you anymore. Come out and take your medicine. After you take the medicine, we can go to bed. It's getting late and I'm very sleepy."

"How about drinking it tomorrow?"

"no!"

Chen Qingrong was still forced to drink the bowl of medicine.

While taking the medicine, he also told Tang Xiaoru that Ni Shengnan had invited them to meet up.

"She's back after less than two months away? She's really efficient. I thought she would be away for at least half a year." Tang Xiaoru said with a smile.

Chen Qingrong pouted, "I also think it's a bit too fast, but it's a good thing that she comes back early, traveling is too expensive."

"Isn't the purpose of making money to spend? Don't be so petty." Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him and said, "Let's go to Harbin when the Chinese New Year comes again this year. We didn't make it last year, so we must go this year."

Chen Qingrong had no objection. "Okay, we'll go wherever you say. You'll be the one making the plans anyway. I'll just be responsible for carrying the bags and talking."

Tang Xiaoru curled her lips, "I really envy you for not having to think so much, just follow me mindlessly, unlike me, making strategies is so tiring."

"I want to do it, but you won't let me." Chen Qingrong felt aggrieved.

In fact, he had mentioned before that he would be the strategy guide, but the problem was that Tang Xiaoru didn't want to.

First, she didn't quite trust Chen Qingrong's attentiveness. She always felt that if she followed him, Chen Qingrong would take her and get lost in the streets of an unfamiliar city.

Second, she prefers to arrange these things personally, which makes her feel more secure.

In other words, Tang Xiaoru is a natural planner.

If you don't let her plan, she will feel uncomfortable.

Before going to bed at night, Tang Xiaoru gave Chen Qingrong a massage for a while, which was unprecedented. In order to repay Tang Xiaoru, Chen Qingrong also made Tang Xiaoru feel comfortable for a long time.

When I woke up the next day, it was Saturday, another day when I didn't have to go to the company.

Tang Xiaoru first stayed in bed with Chen Qingrong for a while before getting out of bed to make medicine for Chen Qingrong.

Chen Qingrong needs to take medicine twice a day. He cannot take medicine while at work, so Tang Xiaoru usually chooses to get up early to prepare it for him, which is equivalent to his breakfast.

Although today is Saturday, Tang Xiaoru still got up before eight o'clock to prepare food for him.

Chen Qingrong also came out in his pajamas, "Wife, you are so hardworking now that it's a little unlike you."

Tang Xiaoru glanced at him and said, "Isn't this all for you? If you mock me again, come over and fan yourself."

She bought a small stove for cooking Chinese medicine for Tang Xiaoru from the Internet. She didn't know how to use it at first, so Chen Qingrong tried it once and showed her how to light it.

"I'll do it, you just lie down."

"Forget it, I was just kidding. Let me do it. If I let you do it, you won't be able to control the timing." Tang Xiaoru shook her head and refused. Then she thought of something else. "It's almost the end of the month. Isn't your comic going to be serialized on Station B on Children's Day? Can you see its page now?"

Chen Qingrong was stunned for a moment. "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have really forgotten about it. Let me search it. I think I need to be a general member, right? I still need to apply for a general membership for another year."

"Remember to buy from Pinduoduo, it's cheaper."

"It's okay, I have a voucher."

Chen Qingrong pulled a chair over and sat down next to Tang Xiaoru. He took out his mobile phone, logged into Bilibili, found the comics interface, and started searching.

After his novel was adapted into a comic, the name was also changed.

My current name is Devil Director. Let me go. I am a kind person.

This name was decided after Xing Nana and her colleagues brainstormed for a long time. When it was first reported to Chen Qingrong, he did not quite agree with it, so Xing Nana asked him to think of another one himself. The problem was that Chen Qingrong was a terrible namer. If you asked him to think of one, Da Qing would forget it.

So Chen Qingrong kicked the ball back and let Xing Nana and the others decide. After some discussion, they finally decided on the name.

After searching on Bilibili, Chen Qingrong actually found the serialization interface of this comic.

He clicked on it excitedly. The homepage showed the content of his previous interviews and his message. Below that was the introduction to the comic, which was basically copied from the introduction to his novel, except with one more sentence.

"The new work of the super popular novelist Dagen is coming, a must-see love masterpiece in 2025!!"

Chen Qingrong's face turned red after seeing these words.

"I am not a super popular author. This guy is just praising me." Chen Qingrong muttered.

Tang Xiaoru turned around and looked at him in confusion, "What are you mumbling about?"

"Oh, I found my comics."

"Really?" Tang Xiaoru was also surprised and quickly stood up to look, "Are there any comments? Click on the comment section to see?"

Chen Qingrong clicked on the comment section and found only one comment.

The review was one star, and the content was: Although I haven't watched it, it doesn't stop me from giving it a bad review. The style of painting is obviously rubbish, and I don't recommend it.

"Fuck you!" Chen Qingrong cursed, "Is this idiot sick? He's already giving a malicious negative review before the series even started?"

He clicked on the other person's homepage in anger, and after finding that all he reposted were updates about the lottery of the Genshin Impact, he immediately calmed down.

"So you're playing Genshin Impact, that's a solved case, wow."

Chen Qingrong smacked his lips.

Tang Xiaoru glanced at him and asked, "Are you not angry anymore?"

Chen Qingrong laughed and said, "He's already playing Genshin Impact, why should I be mad at him?"

"You can't say that. There are still many normal people playing Genshin Impact." Tang Xiaoru couldn't stand his map-cannon behavior.

Chen Qingrong nodded. "I admit that, but Mihoyo's dog training skills are always the best in the gaming community. Even I envy him. I always thought Mihoyo was from a pyramid scheme, otherwise how could he be so good at dog training?"

Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him and said, "You better stop talking. If someone hears you and scolds you, you'll be screwed."

"That's not the case." Chen Qingrong was very confident. "Our novel still has a certain reading threshold. Normal people won't break the barrier. Those who break the barrier don't have the money to read novels at all."

Tang Xiaoru was stunned.

Don’t say it, please don’t say it.

Chen Qingrong originally wanted to send a private message to curse that black guy, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided that one should be magnanimous.

He couldn't stand it when just one person scolded him. What if his comic really became popular on the Internet in the future and more people scolded him? Wouldn't he be so angry that he died?
Thinking of this, Chen Qingrong felt much more comfortable.

Go ahead and curse me, curse me as much as you can.

Black and red are also red.

In the afternoon, Ni Shengnan called Tang Xiaoru and asked if she had time to meet.

After agreeing on the meeting place, she drove Chen Qingrong there.

When waiting for the red light on the road, the green light came on, but the car in front still didn't move, so Tang Xiaoru subconsciously honked the horn to urge the car ahead.

drop.

When this ordinary whistle sound reached Chen Qingrong's ears, it was as if a firecracker was set off in his eardrum and it exploded with a bang.

"Forehead."

Chen Qingrong groaned and quickly covered his ears with his hands, his entire facial features wrinkled.

As soon as Tang Xiaoru saw his reaction, she knew she had gotten into trouble, and she quickly apologized to him, "I'm sorry, honey. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean it. I won't honk the horn next time. I'm sorry."

Chen Qingrong shook his head and tried to comfort her, "It's okay, you didn't do anything wrong. Besides, how can you drive without honking the horn? Just tell me in advance next time."

"Okay, let's go on."

"it is good."

Tang Xiaoru started the car again, but seeing Chen Qingrong's appearance, she still felt very distressed.

When they met Ni Shengnan, they clearly noticed that she seemed to be a little fatter than before, especially her face, which was obviously rounder.

"It seems that the food on your trip is quite good, Shengnan." Tang Xiaoru joked.

Ni Shengnan smiled helplessly, "Rather than saying the food is good, it's more like I've gained weight from overwork. Traveling is really too tiring. Okay, let's eat and chat inside first. I'm almost starving."

"You just got off the high-speed train not long ago?"

"Yeah, I haven't even gone home yet, so I came to meet you guys first."

As they were talking, the three of them went into the restaurant and found a seat to sit down.

Not long after we ordered, the food was served.

Ni Shengnan told the young couple a lot of things that happened to her during her trip, such as the black car drivers who overcharged tourists, the staff with bad attitudes, and of course the smelly man who tried to chat her up.

"Every time someone approaches me, I show them this photo, and they just leave quietly."

When Ni Shengnan said this, she pressed her phone. Chen Qingrong and the others saw at a glance that the lock screen wallpaper of Ni Shengnan's phone was a photo of her and Sun Cheng with their faces close together and smiling.

Chen Qingrong smiled jokingly, "It seems that Old Sun also has the ability to ward off evil spirits. That's good. This is also a way for him to bless you in heaven."

"Yeah." Ni Shengnan sighed and felt a little disappointed. "It's a pity that I still didn't dream about him. Do you think he's not doing well over there? So he doesn't dare to come to me in my dreams, afraid that I'll worry about him?"

Chen Qingrong said, "It's also possible that he was living too well and forgot about you."

Ni Shengnan said faintly, "I hope it is really as you said."

While we were eating and chatting, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.

"Chen Qingrong? Why are you here?"

Chen Qingrong looked back and found that it was a modern girl dressed very fashionably. She was tall, carrying a Gucci bag in her hand, wearing high heels and a tight skirt, big black wavy hair, and a pair of sunglasses. She exuded a feeling of "I have money, come and kneel down to lick my ass".

"Who are you?" Chen Qingrong really couldn't recognize you.

The woman took off her sunglasses and smiled softly, "It's me, Liu Qianqian. Don't you recognize me?"

"Ah? Liu Qianqian? Is it really you? Why are you like this now?"

Chen Qingrong was dumbfounded.

The last time I saw Liu Qianqian was in a restaurant near my old company. She was a waitress serving dishes and looked very shabby.

Who would have thought that in less than half a year, she would have transformed from a sparrow into a phoenix?

Liu Qianqian also knew what he meant. She pulled a chair over and sat down without waiting for him to greet her. She chuckled and said, "I'm married now. My husband is very rich and busy. He has no time to take care of me. I can only go shopping and play mahjong by myself every day. Money can support people the most. So it's different from before."

Chen Qingrong understood.

This is a case of hooking up with a rich man.

Women still need to be beautiful. Being beautiful can indeed change one's destiny.

"I just happened to be passing by and was planning to come in for something to eat, but I didn't expect to run into you guys. Are you guys okay?"

Liu Qianqian said "you guys" but her eyes were always on Chen Qingrong. As for Tang Xiaoru and Ni Shengnan, she simply ignored them.

Tang Xiaoru felt a little unhappy, so she added, "We are living a good life, a loving couple, and a happy family."

"I can see that, I can see that." Liu Qianqian smiled meaningfully at him, and suddenly said to Chen Qingrong, "Chen Qingrong, you said that our destinies are really different. If I had followed you in school, maybe I wouldn't have been harmed by Li Long later. It's really one wrong step, and then all the wrong steps."

Hearing this, a sharp cold light flashed in Tang Xiaoru's eyes.

Chen Qingrong's mouth twitched, and he quickly laughed, "Ha, ha, Liu Qianqian, don't say that. We were just classmates when we were in school, there is no such thing as following me or not. Besides, you are married now, so you should pay attention to the impact of your words."

"Haha, look how scared you are. Don't worry, I have no intention of ruining your relationship. I'll go find a seat first, you guys take your time eating, this meal is on me."

"No, we can afford to eat."

Tang Xiaoru had a cold face.

Liu Qianqian didn't take it seriously. She stood up and walked inside.

Ni Shengnan then started gossiping, "Who was that woman who smelled like burning air just now?"

Tang Xiaoru sneered, "Oh, she was your brother Chen's lover when he was in college."

"Don't talk nonsense, Xiaoru!" Chen Qingrong was terrified and quickly said to Ni Shengnan, "Liu Qianqian is my college classmate, but she is not my lover. Xiaoru is my first love. She is jealous now and said that out of anger."

"Oh, I understand then." Ni Shengnan snickered, and continued to watch the fun, "But to be honest, Brother Chen, I feel like that Liu Qianqian seems to be interested in you. The way she looked at you was enough to seduce you."

"She is just looking for a rich man, why would she marry him? Do you think she is Bai Wuchang?" Tang Xiaoru was very disdainful, and gritted her teeth, "Last year, Chen Qingrong and I saw her serving dishes in a restaurant. I felt sorry for her at that time, but I didn't expect her to suddenly marry a boss. Her behavior is disgusting. If I had known, I shouldn't have sympathized with her in the first place."

"Her husband has never eaten any good pork, right? He can find any kind of woman he wants. Tsk."

Chen Qingrong said weakly, "Okay, okay, Xiaoru, don't be angry. He just came over to say hello. Don't bother with that kind of person. Let's just eat our meal."

"I don't bother to argue with her. Even if she has a rich boyfriend, she's still not as rich as me. Why should I bother with her?"

"Well, that's true."

After having dinner with Ni Shengnan, we parted ways.

Chen Qingrong and his friends were originally planning to drive back, but they didn't expect to receive a call from the drug rehabilitation center at this time.

"Mr. Chen, right? We are at a women's drug rehabilitation center in Shanghai. Miss Ren Furong is trying to commit suicide in the center. Are you her friends? Can you come and see her and persuade her to calm down? We can't continue our work with her in this state."

"Ah?" Chen Qingrong was stunned. "Is she addicted?"

"That's not the case. She was very cooperative in quitting. It just happened suddenly. Um, to be more precise, she became like this after someone came to visit her two days ago."

"Who went to see her? Her parents?"

"No, it's a man, his last name is Hao."

"So what did they talk about?"

"Well, you should come and ask her in person, and help persuade her, okay?"

"Wait a moment." Chen Qingrong told Xiaoru about this and asked her opinion, "Do you think we should go?"

Tang Xiaoru nodded decisively, "Go ahead. After all, Ren Furong is also a great contributor to our victory over the Bai family. Besides, we said when we first went to see her that we would come again if needed. We can't go back on our word."

"Row."

Chen Qingrong talked to the staff at the drug rehabilitation center, and they were very grateful.

Afterwards, Tang Xiaoru drove him to the drug rehabilitation center where he had been last time, and the staff there quickly arranged for Ren Furong to meet them.

When Ren Furong came in, she was handcuffed by two female police officers. Even when she sat down, the two female police officers still stood behind her to prevent her from suddenly doing something irrational.

"You're here." Ren Furong smiled bitterly, "Did the staff here ask you to come? They're so nosy."

Tang Xiaoru said, "You can't say that. They are doing this for your own good. Only if you cooperate with them can you get rid of the addiction faster, right?"

Ren Furong didn't say anything.

Chen Qingrong simply got straight to the point. "I heard from the staff that you started to have thoughts of committing suicide after meeting a man named Hao two days ago. Who is that man named Hao? What did he talk to you about?"

"He is the Bai family's lawyer." Ren Furong was determined to shock people.

The couple immediately looked at each other.

Chen Qingrong reacted quickly, "The Bai family's lawyer? Is he threatening you on behalf of the Bai family? But, Bai Yunfeng's father has been arrested, and Bai Yunfeng is also locked up awaiting a court ruling. How could the Bai family have a lawyer coming?"

Ren Furong smiled bitterly and said, "It was a lawyer hired by Bai Yunfeng's uncle and his mother. He was entrusted by Bai Yunfeng's uncle to come to talk to me, hoping that I can appear in court to testify for Bai Yunfeng and prove that Bai Yunfeng hit me just to flirt with me before, and he was not suspected of intentional injury."

"Huh?" Tang Xiaoru smiled speechlessly, "You've posted the video online, and the Bai family actually wants you to change your story and say that Bai Yunfeng was just flirting with you? No, do they believe that?"

Ren Furong also found it ridiculous. "That's what the lawyer in question told me. He also confessed to me that as long as I change my statement, he can help Bai Yunfeng get the charge of intentional injury removed, and the sentence will probably be reduced by a few years."

"He also said that the Bai family promised that if I did this, they would give my family 10 million in compensation, and that after I got out, they would find a better agency to train me."

Chen Qingrong sneered and interrupted, "Bai Yunfeng's father is already in prison, how can the Bai family have the confidence to say this? Besides, you sent their son to prison, and it's already a blessing for Bai Yunfeng's mother not to bother you after you got out of prison. She even hired an agency to train you? Even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe such a thing."

"Yeah, so I didn't believe it either."

"Then why are you seeking death?"

"It's because Lawyer Hao said that if I don't obey, I'll be fine in the drug rehabilitation center, but my parents outside might be in some trouble."

"Is he threatening you?" Chen Qingrong narrowed his eyes. "Is he really a serious lawyer? He said such things to you in front of the staff in the drug rehabilitation center. Isn't he afraid that you will directly file a lawsuit against him for threats and intimidation?"

Ren Furong pouted, "He didn't say it so directly, but I could tell what he meant. When I thought about the possibility that my family might be implicated because of me, I felt very upset, so I couldn't control my emotions."

"But I'm much more stable now, so there's no need to invite you guys here again."

"Are you not worried anymore?"

"Don't worry anymore." Ren Furong shook her head. "I talked to my parents on the phone this morning. They told me to reform myself in there. They also told me that my uncle has returned from the army and he will take charge of our family. With my uncle here, I'm not afraid that the Bai family will mess around."

"What does your uncle do in the army?" Chen Qingrong asked tentatively.

Ren Furong hesitated, "I don't know what he does specifically, but I've seen him in a military uniform, with two bars and three stars."

Chen Qingrong was immediately filled with awe.
