The days are like running water, and four months have passed in the blink of an eye.
The imperial capital remains prosperous without Lu Xining.
But this prosperity does not seem to have anything to do with Jin Shaoheng who is living in it. He lives at home and at the company every day. Except for necessary banquets and entertainment, he has almost cut off all private social interactions.
When a person is strong enough, other than maintaining necessary relationships, nothing else really matters.
Besides, he doesn't like these things, so it saves a lot of energy.
But people with a discerning eye can still tell that he has changed. As for why, no one except Liu Weijie, who is close to him, knows.
On this day, I asked him for a small favor, and I tried all kinds of methods to reluctantly invite him, and I arranged a game in the private room of the best hotel in the imperial capital.
Jin Shaoheng was sitting in the main seat, so everyone naturally fawned over him. After all, there are fewer and fewer occasions to see him, so who is willing to give up the opportunity to hug him?
It's a pity that he always looked cold and cold, which made the whole wine table not warm.
Everyone was embarrassed and didn't know what to do, when Li Jinghuan suddenly barged in: "Haozi, are you too embarrassed? You don't call me when you ask everyone to eat——"
At that time, he took Meng Wanyang on a date. He accidentally heard that Fa Xiao was here today, so he brought Meng Wanyang in directly, but suddenly he saw Jin Shaoheng.
This is the first time the two have met in several months.
He concealed the pregnancy for Lu Xining. Although Jin Shaoheng did not kill her and the matter passed, it did not mean that the relationship between the two could remain as before, especially since he secretly returned to China and Meng Wanyang was also involved in this matter.
Isn't this hitting the muzzle of the gun?
Sure enough, Jin Shaoheng's eyes slowly moved from his face to Meng Wanyang's face.
Li Jinghuan subconsciously held Meng Wanyang's hand tightly, and a forced smile appeared on his lips: "No one called me, I did it myself."
He didn't want to drag down the others, so he was about to quit.
"Since you're here, please sit down." But Jin Shaoheng spoke.
Li Jinghuan was surprised, but actually he was more uneasy.
Because there was no expression on Jin Shaoheng's face, it was impossible to guess whether he wanted to make peace with them by leaving them behind, or whether he wanted to cause trouble for them.
But Jin Shaoheng was at the top of the food chain in this circle, so Li Jinghuan had no choice but to take Meng Wanyang and sit down.
The atmosphere became even weirder now.
Because everyone is not sure what Jin Shaoheng is thinking, and they don’t know whether they should be close to or distant from Li Jinghuan.
Although everyone is still very nice in private, otherwise Li Jinghuan would not come uninvited.
"Come, come, let's serve Shaoheng for the first drink." He was too nervous to entertain guests, so he had to bite the bullet and liven up the atmosphere.
After a while, everyone relaxed a little and saw that Jin Shaoheng didn't mean to embarrass Li Jinghuan, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer.
Soon, Meng Wanyang's cell phone vibrated. She glanced at it and hung up, but the other end immediately called again.
Li Jinghuan noticed it and asked with his eyes, but Meng Wanyang did not answer.
When her phone vibrated again, she saw that the atmosphere in the private room was getting lively, so she quietly got up, went out and pressed the connect button.
"Xining." Little did he know that these two words seemed to open a hole in someone's dusty heart.
"Wanyang, do you still have the medicine you sent me last time?" Walking to a quiet place, Lu Xining's voice came clearly through the microphone.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Meng Wanyang asked nervously.
"No, I just finished eating what I had before." Lu Xining reassured.
Meng Wanyang breathed a sigh of relief and added: "If you don't feel uncomfortable, you don't need to take the medicine. It's best to go to the hospital for a checkup when you have time."
"Okay." Lu Xining agreed.
"Is this why you called?" Meng Wanyang asked.
"Yeah." Lu Xining nodded and asked again, "Are I bothering you?"
"No, we are eating outside." Meng Wanyang said, but she couldn't help but think of Jin Shaoheng at the table.
She knew that Lu Xining was content with his current peaceful life, so she didn't mention it at all.
"Then you have a good meal and we'll talk next time." Lu Xining was about to end the call.
"Okay." Meng Wanyang responded, but couldn't help but tell her: "Pay more attention to your safety, let Yu Zheng run errands about what you want to buy, and try to go out as little as possible."
"I know, I know, Doctor Meng." Lu Xining accepted her advice and responded one by one with a smile.
"Bye." Meng Wanyang hung up the phone.
Probably thinking of the scene in the box, she sighed silently again.
She didn't want to turn around and see Jin Shaoheng. He had left the box at some point and was now standing silently behind him. Meng Wanyang was so frightened that she dropped her phone on the ground.
The screen was still on, and it was the interface where she was chatting with Lu Xining on WeChat, and there were recent photos that Lu Xining sent to her.
Meng Wanyang quickly wanted to pick it up, but a hand held it faster than her.
Jin Shaoheng looked at Lu Xining in the photo. She was wearing maternity clothes, such loose clothes, but she could still tell that her belly was very big, bulging like a ball.
However, her face is rosy and she has gained some weight, and her eyes are full of tenderness and smile when looking at the camera.
This reminded him of four words - the years are quiet and peaceful.
She really lived a very good life without herself.
"Mr. Jin." Meng Wanyang was beating her heart.
She wanted to get her phone back, but he didn't let it go.
"Is she giving birth soon?" Jin Shaoheng asked.
"..." Meng Wanyang didn't know whether she should answer.
However, Jin Shaoheng quickly calmed down and threw the phone back to her, as if her answer was not that important.
Seeing that his expression returned to normal, Meng Wanyang felt suddenly angry. When she realized what she was doing, she realized that she had subconsciously stopped him.
Their eyes met. Although she was a little timid, she still mustered up the courage and said: "Mr. Jin, it was my fault that I hid the pregnancy from you for Xining.
But you should also think about it. At that time, you divorced Xining and had your own child with Lin Qingyue. She was afraid that you wouldn't be able to tolerate your child, so what was wrong with wanting to keep him? He is also your flesh and blood."
"What did you say?" Jin Shaoheng's expression changed slightly.
"Forget it, this matter is over, and there's no point in bringing it up again. But since Mr. Jin has chosen to let it go, just relax a little and stop blaming Jing Huan, okay?"
She didn't expect the consequences to be so serious, especially involving the Li family and affecting the relationship between Li Jinghuan and his family.
"The previous sentence." Jin Shaoheng asked.
"What?" Meng Wanyang looked at him puzzled.
"You said the child in Lu Xining's belly was mine? Did she tell you?" Jin Shaoheng asked.
