willing to be wrong for you

Chapter 32
The law firm's vacation has not been used up yet, so Zhan Lan decides to go home just to use this time.

A few hours' drive was not difficult. After getting off the train and taking a taxi, Zhanlan returned to the old building again.I opened the door with the key, and the room was very quiet, and Mama Liu was not there.Zhan Lan went upstairs and knocked on the door, but got no response.

Pushing open the door, there was no one there, and the first thing that came into view was the wiped clean photos hanging on the wall.

Zhan Lan walked over, and was rarely able to observe these photos at such a close distance, because Ye Min seldom went out, and when she was at home, she would lock herself here most of the time, staring at these photos in a daze.In these photos, the one who appeared the most was a middle-aged man.

A vigorous, very steady and handsome man.If he wasn't wearing a well-fitting suit with a shrewd taste of a businessman, he would have looked more like a professor of literature in a college just from his appearance.Gentle and gentle, full of bookishness.

Zhan Lan has no deep impression of this person, and most of them come from Ye Min's report.

She knew that this man was Qin Zicheng, who was the richest businessman in Dongcheng back then.

Qin Zicheng started from scratch and established the famous Qin's Real Estate. Later, Qin's business scope expanded gradually until everyone remembered the name of Qin Zicheng, Qin Zicheng. , has also become the movable type signboard of Dongcheng.

It's a pity that all this scenery ended in the turmoil 15 years ago.

Qin Zicheng's son and daughter, including his wife, died in a fire after he was imprisoned.The Qin family did not fall behind, and followed the rise of the Fang family and the Feng family, and now these two families have formed a two-legged confrontation in Dongcheng.Now, no one remembers how beautiful the Qin family used to be, and no one mentions Qin Zicheng's name.

"Xiao Nian?"

When her name sounded behind her, Zhanlan withdrew her thoughts and came to her senses. Mama Liu stood at the door of the room, looking at her in surprise.

The corners of Zhan Lan's lips rose, drawing a shallow arc: "Mama Liu, I'm back."

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back." Liu's mother approached, her eyes were red: "Look at you, how can you not take care of yourself, you have lost so much weight, and you are even thinner than when you left."

Zhanlan smiled slightly: "Because the food outside is not as delicious as Liu Ma's cooking. I was hungry, so I ran back."

"It's okay, stay for a few more days, Mama Liu will make up for you, and make up for your previous weight."

Hearing this, Zhan Lan smiled lightly, and suddenly asked again: "By the way, Mama Liu, where is my aunt?"

"Oh, your aunt has been away for two days."

"Travel?" Ye Min seldom went out, and he probably never even went to the vegetable market in front of him, so how could he travel far.

"Well, yes, I don't know where she went, but I just told me to take care of the house. Xiao Nian, anyway, your aunt is not here, so you can stay for a few more days and let Mama Liu cook some delicious food for you. body."

Although there were only two people eating, Mama Liu still cooked a whole table of dishes. Maybe seeing that Zhan Lan really lost a lot of meat this time, Mama Liu specially made a small stew for her to eat.

Put a few pieces of fat meat into the blue bowl: "Xiao Nian, these are very nourishing. When I stewed, I also specially put some stomach-invigorating herbs. You should eat more."

Zhanlan took a piece and put it in her mouth according to her words.

Suddenly, a feeling of nausea followed, which caught her off guard.

Throwing away the bowls and chopsticks in a hurry, covered his mouth with his hands, and ran to the bathroom.

Because she was worried, Liu Ma immediately followed her.

Zhan Lan lay on the toilet and vomited non-stop, looking very uncomfortable.In the end, she turned pale, pressed the flush button, and slowly stood up while leaning on the wall.

Looking back, Liu Ma was still standing at the door of the bathroom, staring at her in a daze.

Zhanlan walked to the sink, turned on the tap, and the cold water splashed on her cheeks, which relieved her a little.

Liu Ma handed over the towel, her eyes were still looking at her in doubt, and after a long while, she opened her mouth sullenly: "Zhanlan, are you..."

Zhan Lan came over knowingly, pursed her lips and smiled, and nodded.

Mama Liu's eyes slowly opened wide, full of incredulity, easy-going, and surprise flashed across her eyes.

"Oh my god! Why didn't you tell such a big thing earlier!" Liu's mother seemed to be panicking: "No, those things are too greasy, you must not be able to eat them. The first few months are the most important thing. I Go get you something lighter... Oh! By the way, you love seafood porridge, and there are fresh squid and prawns in the refrigerator, I'll take them out now..."

Seeing the back of Mama Liu leaving in a hurry, Zhan Lan couldn't help but laugh.Shaking his head, he raised his eyelids, saw the face in the mirror that was thinner but with more distinct features, and finally sighed softly.

In the end, Mama Liu re-cooked several dishes, plus a pot of rotten seafood porridge.Zhan Lan was also very face-saving, and she ate two big bowls of porridge, which made Mama Liu very happy.

After eating, she went back to her room to rest.

The room is not big, but she has personally selected every furnishings.I remember that when she was a child, she liked the crystal ball very much for a while, and the price of that thing was not clearly marked, so in order to buy it, she saved half a year's money.

Fingers caressing everything in the room, all with memories, long and distant memories.

At this time, the door was knocked.

Looking back, Mama Liu came in with a bottle of milk: "Drink some milk, it will help you sleep."

Zhan Lan obediently took it and drank it.

Liu Ma took the empty cup, glanced at the small decorations behind Zhanlan, and couldn't help but smile: "I didn't dare to throw these things away for you when I moved, you child is too nostalgic, many things are almost old I don’t want to throw them away when they fall apart, so I come here every day to wipe them for you, I’m afraid that after a long time, these things will rot if left unattended.”

"Thank you Mama Liu." She said from the bottom of her heart, thanks to Mama Liu these years, she was able to feel the warmth in this home.

"Thank you so much. I have always looked up to you since I was a child. I have always treated you as my own granddaughter. But Zhanlan, there is something that Mama Liu still wants to say."

Zhanlan already understood in her heart what Mama Liu wanted to say.

"You, you are too emotional. This is an advantage, but it is also a disadvantage. What you are doing now will put a lot of pressure on you. What's more, it is not your business alone now."

"I know." She lowered her eyebrows dejectedly.

Seeing her like this, Mama Liu also sighed softly: "Does the child's father know?"

When mentioning him, Zhan Lan only felt her heart was oppressed and breathless: "No. He thought the child was lost."

"Why..." As soon as she asked two words, Liu Ma seemed to understand, and sighed heavily again: "It's really hard for you, Zhanlan. Although this should be a happy event, the relationship between you and that man is...whether to stay or not Next child, I hope you still think clearly."

Zhan Lan raised her eyes, stayed silent for a while, and asked, "Mama Liu, can I ask you something?"

"You child, what do you want, you are still so polite with me."

"I think... please don't tell Auntie about this, okay?"

If Ye Min knew about this, then the only fate for this child would be...

Mama Liu also shivered, and nodded quickly: "I don't know anything, so naturally I have nothing to say."

Hearing this, knowing Mama Liu's attitude, a smile slowly parted from Zhan Lan's lips.

After staying for another three days, Zhan Lan knew that it was time for her to set off and return to the East City.

Mama Liu clamored to send her to the train station, but Zhanlan refused, and the two were at a stalemate. In the end, Mama Liu persuaded her.

The two took a taxi, and when they got to the highway, the road was very congested.I don't know if the driver's driving skills are too poor. When he was about to reach the destination, he suddenly bumped into a BMW in front of him.

Knowing that he was in trouble, the young driver's face immediately turned pale. After all, the top coat of this limited edition car is expensive.

The driver hurriedly got out of the car, and the driver who came out was also a driver in uniform.

Zhan Lan also got out of the car, and saw that the collision was not too serious. There was nothing wrong with the BMW, but a white scratch. On the contrary, it was a taxi, and the situation was a little serious.

"Why don't you look at the road while driving? Our young master just picked up this car from the shop. It's still a new car. Can you afford it?" The BMW driver was a little arrogant.

As soon as the taxi driver heard the other party say 'Young Master', he knew that these people must be famous people. When he got nervous, he stammered: "I, I...it's you..."

"What are you! Come on, tell me how much you plan to pay first?"

Not used to seeing the other party's rich and powerful appearance, Zhan Lan walked between the two of them, looked at the BMW driver, and raised her eyebrows: "We are not responsible for this accident at all, you turned without turning on the lights, and the speed is so fast, We didn't have time to react at all."

The driver on the other side was said to be a little out of breath: "Who are you? Is it your turn to talk here? Has anyone seen that I didn't turn on the light? I obviously did."

Zhanlan smiled instead of anger: "I'm not old, and I have nothing to do with you or this driver, so even if I am invited to the police station, my testimony will be very effective. Besides, I remember that every taxi Cameras are installed on the front of the car, and the words are unfounded, and everyone will be happy if the video tape is handed over to the police station."

"you…"

"Old Ji!" The rear window of the BMW suddenly rolled down, revealing a young face with obvious impatience: "How long will we have to talk, I'm in a hurry."

"Yes, Master Fang, it will be ready soon." The driver immediately changed his attitude and was very respectful.

Zhan Lan looked over subconsciously, not expecting that the other party was also turning her head to look at him, her eyes met in the air, a faint look of astonishment quickly flashed across her eyes, her first reaction was to lower her head.

It's just that Liu Ma got out of the car at this time: "Xiao Nian, is it serious? Don't miss the train back to the city."

Zhan Lan felt that gaze was still on her, and she turned her head and nodded to Mama Liu: "It will be ready soon, you can go back to the car first."

I don't know if it was because the young master's anger played a role, and the BMW driver was no longer so unreasonable, but the taxi driver still lost some money to them.

Arriving at the train station, when getting off the bus, Zhan Lan handed over a few hundred yuan bills to the other party, and the driver hurriedly shook his head: "Miss, you paid too much for the fare."

"This is compensation. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be on the highway."

"No, no, it's my fault, I didn't concentrate too much..."

Zhan Lan stuffed the money into the driver's hand: "Take it. If you think it's too much, help me send my aunt back safely."

The driver was a little moved: "Okay, miss, I will definitely send this aunt back safely."

Zhanlan smiled at Liu Ma, turned around to leave, but Liu Ma suddenly called out to her.

Turning around, she looked at Mama Liu with questioning eyes.

Liu's mother said: "Usually four months, the belly will get bigger. If you don't want him to know, you have to hurry up."

Zhan Lan was stunned for a second, then realized what Mama Liu meant, and nodded, leaving her with a reassuring smile.

As soon as I returned to the law firm, I caught up with Xinwei's [-]th anniversary party.This time, the largest five-star hotel in Dongcheng was chosen as the venue, which was quite grand.

That night, Zhanlan was given a lot of trouble by Sister Lin as before, and then she was sent to the venue like a concubine favored by the emperor, and she was almost wrapped in a quilt.

As soon as we entered the hotel, there were indeed a lot of crowns and crowns, and all the famous figures from Dongcheng's political and business circles were present.There are also familiar faces from Zhan Lan.

Such as Chi Hao, such as Sheng Kai, such as Fang Yichen, such as Fang Rui.

As for Feng Tianjuan, he stands out from the crowd, it's hard not to notice him.

Sure enough, the enemy always has a narrow road.

As an employee of the organizer, Zhan Lan wore a formal dress, but she would hang a small sign of Xinwei Law Firm on her chest, shuttled around the center of the venue, and from time to time, male guests would come to strike up a conversation on the pretext of consulting legal matters.

After receiving No. 19 or [-] business cards, Zhan Lan was finally rescued by Sister Lin.

She has never liked to be in the limelight, and now this occasion, coupled with the fact that there is always a line of sight fixed on her back, is even more uncomfortable.Fortunately, Sister Lin is still quite sympathetic.

It's just that Zhanlan has calculated thousands of times, and she didn't expect that Sister Lin's move was so high that she wanted to sell her.

Pushed into a corner by Sister Lin, she noticed a third person, looked up, and unexpectedly saw a friendly and handsome face.

"Zhanlan, look at you, you have been busy all night and you haven't said hello to Mr. Chi." Sister Lin said reproachfully.

Zhan Lan was surprised, when did Sister Lin know that Chi Hao's surname was Chi?And it looks so familiar?

What was even more unexpected was Chi Hao's next move.

He suddenly embraced Zhanlan's shoulders, and gave Sister Lin a lethal smile: "Thank you, Sister Lin. I haven't seen Zhanlan for a long time, and I want to take her to the garden for a chat."

Sister Lin waved her hand generously, obviously already dizzy by Chi Hao's smile: "Go, go, I'm the one doing things at the venue, it's better to chat for a while, it doesn't matter if you don't come back."

Hearing this, Zhan Lan really wanted to roll her eyes at Sister Lin.

Not wanting to make everyone unhappy at the venue, Zhanlan didn't shake off Chi Hao's hand on her shoulder until she walked out of the hotel and came to the garden behind: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Chi Hao also stopped in his tracks. There was a fountain not far from them. The occasional breeze would blow the sprayed water droplets to them, which was very cool.

Chi Hao turned his head and his eyes fell on the blue face. The difference from before was that there was no smile on this sunny and handsome face at this moment, and there was a trace of sternness on the brows: "I should ask you this, what are you doing?" What do you want?"

Zhan Lan frowned and stared at him for a moment, the raised brows quickly smoothed out, and she turned her head: "I don't know what you're talking about."

"You know. You've always been smart, haven't you?" Chi Hao locked her eyes tightly on her face that was not much bigger than the palm of her hand: "Are you so happy to torture the third brother? Losing that child, the third brother suffers more than anyone else, and He can't even make decisions about his own marriage, and he wants to marry a woman he doesn't love at all, don't you think he is very pitiful? Doesn't he even have the slightest sympathy?"

Hearing Chi Hao's repeated inquiries, Zhan Lan chuckled, with a sarcasm on her lips: "Why can't he decide his marriage? Is it because if he doesn't marry Fang Yichen, he will lose everything he has now? If That being said, he is not pitiful at all."

"No, you don't know." Chi Hao shook his head and sighed lightly: "The marriage with the Fang family was arranged by Mr. Feng very early. The reason why the third brother couldn't refuse to marry Fang Yichen was definitely not because of money or It's just because of your status, in fact..."

"Chi Hao!"

At this time, a deeper voice sounded behind him.

The blue figure froze instantly when he heard the voice.

Chi Hao turned around and was taken aback when he saw a man standing not far away, then frowned and swallowed what he was about to say.

Chi Hao looked at Feng Tianjuan, then at Zhanlan, and said, "I still have something to do over there, so let's go first."

After finishing speaking, Chi Hao strode away. When passing by Feng Tianjuan's side, he paused slightly and patted Feng Tianjuan on the shoulder.

Chi Hao's footsteps got farther and farther away, followed by another gradually clear voice.

She smelled tobacco on the wind.

"I really plan to never see me again. Don't you even want to see me when you look back?" He smiled wryly.

"What's the use of watching. Now that you have decided on something, you have to do it neatly, don't you?"

Feng Tianjuan looked at her without blinking: "I never thought that one day, a woman would say such things to me. What's even more ridiculous is that I can't refute it."

As if she had heard enough of his words, Zhan Lan started to leave, but he stopped her just in time.

"I will hold a wedding next month." He stared intently at her side face, the moonlight's clear light coated her face with a layer of white frost: "As long as you open your mouth, I don't have to get married." .”

Zhan Lan didn't say a word, and there was a strange silence under the night.

Finally, she said softly: "This kind of matter should not be decided by a third person. I don't want to be the target of public criticism in the future."

She wanted to leave, but he refused to let go: "Just one word, you won't even tell me."

She closed her eyes and sighed softly: "I can't afford you. I'm sorry."

Finally, he slumped and let go of his hand.

The three words 'I'm sorry' made him more uncomfortable than hearing any sentence.

Zhan Lan left quickly, and when she walked to the corridor leading to the venue from the garden, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.She was taken aback, and immediately took a few steps back, and with the help of the lights in the venue, she could see the person in front of her clearly.

"What a coincidence, miss, we meet again."

Fang Rui looked taller and thinner than when he was sitting in the car before, with the unruly and cynical look of a playboy on his face.Even the smile on his face at this moment looks disgusting.

"I'm sorry, you seem to have misunderstood the person." Zhan Lan put on makeup today. Although it wasn't too heavy, it was still somewhat different from usual. I just hoped that Fang Rui wouldn't notice anything.
