Hou Lin was dumbfounded as he watched the black Passat disappear from his sight. He looked at the direction in which the car disappeared. He could not believe this fact.
He just watched Shen Menglan slowly approach the car door, and opened it naturally. He thought to himself at that time, he couldn't really get in!
To his relief, Shen Menglan did not get in the car, but leaned against the car door and talked to Chen Jing in the car.
However, before he could completely relax, Shen Menglan suddenly moved, disappeared out of the car door, closed the door with a bang, then the car started, and then left!
Hou Lin couldn't figure out why it was so easy for Chen Jing to take away Shen Menglan?
Hou Lin has put a lot of effort into this woman recently in order to please her.
He forcibly refrained from doing the same things he did with women, and he quit all the women around him who could.
His strategy was to devote all his attention to Shen Menglan, and the goal he set for himself was to pursue this woman at all costs.
After being in contact with her for such a long time, he finally saw how arrogant this woman was.
People live in a hospital, and they don’t use any of the hospital’s facilities.
The inside of the ward looks like it has been renovated, even the stools are made of brand new and exquisite mahogany.
The equipment for making coffee is so expensive that Hou Lin would not be able to fix it even if he thought about it.
All Shen Menglan's expenses are top-notch, and the level of luxury is astonishing even for a man who calls himself a high-society son-in-law!
Such a person. Chen Jing just said a few words and she followed him like a slut?
Chen Jing, what kind of car is that? Passat!
Hou Lin suddenly felt angry in his heart, and he even neglected an important thing.
That is, from beginning to end, Chen Jing did not say hello to him. No, Chen Jing did not even look at him from beginning to end.
In the car.
Shen Menglan and Chen Jing sat side by side, both of them silent.
Shen Menglan glanced at Chen Jing from the corner of her eyes, only to find that Chen Jing was lying on his back on the seat with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was taking a nap.
She couldn't help but feel a little angry in her heart: "This is what domineering men are like. They say they are talking to themselves about things, but they remain silent and pretend to be mysterious. What are they doing?"
The car stopped steadily at the gate of the community. Lao He slowly turned his head. He moved his lips but did not dare to make a sound.
Shen Menglan pursed her lips and deliberately pretended to clear her throat. Chen Jing slowly opened his eyes, stood up and looked out the window, frowning and said, "Well? Why are you here?"
Lao He was stunned for a moment. He was so embarrassed that he was speechless.
When he got in the car just now, Lao He asked him if he wanted to go directly to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Chen Jing said at that time that he wanted to go home and get something.
Why now...
"Get out of the car!" Chen Jing opened the car door and got out. He turned to look at Shen Menglan and said, "You can get out too!"
Shen Menglan was stunned and got out of the car in a daze.
She hesitated and said, "Secretary Chen, can't cars enter the community?"
Chen Jing ignored her, turned around and waved to Lao He and said, "Aren't you sending something to your mother-in-law? You go ahead and go directly to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to pick me up in the afternoon!"
After Chen Jing finished speaking, he walked forward and ran straight to a roadside stall. When he came back, he was carrying a plastic bag with two foam food boxes in his hand. He did not talk to Shen Menglan and went straight into the community. .
Shen Menglan pursed her lips and followed silently.
Chen Jing's house is a bit messy. There is a thin layer of dust on the coffee table. It is obvious that he has not been back for a long time. There is still a stale smell in the air.
He entered the door and quickly opened the window, went to the bathroom to fetch water, came back with a rag, carefully wiped the coffee table and chairs, and then stared at Shen Menglan.
Shen Menglan was still at the door. She lowered her head and rubbed her ankles. She looked at Chen Jing and pursed her lips hard.
Chen Jing's expression seemed to have softened a little, and he pointed to the chair and said: "Sit down, change into slippers to make it more comfortable!"
Shen Menglan was originally unhappy, but as soon as Chen Jing broke the silence, she felt better. She silently put on her slippers and sat across from Chen Jing.
Chen Jing opened the food box and found a box of fried potatoes and several strings of broken bones. The other box was full of stinky tofu.
Shen Menglan frowned and leaned back subconsciously, but Chen Jing didn't seem to notice her discomfort.
He took a pair of chopsticks, opened it and began to eat with relish.
He ate very selflessly, and it was very delicious. A piece of potato and a piece of stinky tofu were chewed loudly in his mouth. Shen Menglan kept staring at him, and her heart gradually became much calmer.
At this moment, she seemed to be able to clearly feel the deepest things in Chen Jing's heart.
It is not easy to be the municipal party secretary of Jingjiang. Under Chen Jing's strong appearance, he has to endure tremendous pressure and endless efforts.
The dignified Municipal Party Committee Secretary looked like he hadn't even eaten breakfast. He seemed to have something to go out soon, so he went to the roadside stall to buy these junk foods to satisfy his hunger. If Shen Menglan hadn't seen it with her own eyes, it would have been unimaginable.
The most attractive time for a man is when he is concentrating. Whether it is a man who is concentrating and devoting himself to his work, or a man who is concentrating and eating food with relish, at that moment, he is like a child, which can unnaturally inspire women. Motherhood makes them pity.
Shen Menglan took a deep breath, pursed her lips vigorously, and her eyes became softer and softer.
She looked around, and the scene of that night suddenly popped into her mind. Wasn't it just in this house, where she and the man in front of her were messing around all night?
She was destined to never forget that scene, and she would often think of it when she was alone. But at this moment, she suddenly remembered this scene, and her face couldn't help but blush.
Her heart was beating for no reason, and she quickly glanced at Chen Jing. Fortunately, Chen Jing was still immersed in the food and didn't notice that she looked abnormal.
Chen Jing ate very quickly. Two full boxes of food were blown away, and in the blink of an eye, only half of them were left.
Shen Menglan smiled slightly, and suddenly remembered the day she saw Chen Jing and Ou Nianjing eating barbecue together at a roadside stall.
A question arose in her mind: "Is it possible that this food is so delicious? It's all made of gutter oil, and the dust from the street is mixed into the food. Isn't it dirty?"
With this thought, she suddenly felt an inexplicable impulse in her heart and said: "Chen...Secretary Chen, I...can I have a skewer?" She pointed at the barbecue skewers.
Chen Jing suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked up. After a while he nodded and said, "Okay, you can eat it. I thought you wouldn't eat this kind of thing!"
Shen Menglan snorted softly in her heart, feeling a little dissatisfied. She stretched out two fingers, pinched the bamboo stick, and picked up a skewer of barbecue.
She licked her lips, then suddenly she closed her eyes and bit down.
Shen Menglan ate very slowly, chewing a small mouthful all the time. It was a bit spicy and full of cumin. It tasted pretty good?
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
Shen Menglan was startled and nodded hurriedly: "It's okay, it's okay! It's quite delicious!"
Chen Jing picked up a skewer of barbecue, pointed at the last skewer and said, "Let's have one last skewer! I'm almost done!"
Chen Jing dealt with the skewer of meat in three seconds and stood up to wipe his mouth with a tissue.
Shen Menglan hurriedly speeded up. With the experience of eating the first skewer, she didn't hesitate to eat the second skewer.
"Tissue!" Chen Jing handed him a tissue, and she reached out to take it. Their hands touched. Shen Menglan felt her hands warm, her heart skipped a beat, and her face turned red again.
After wiping her mouth, she forced herself to calm down and held her hands together, feeling slightly nervous.
Chen Jing was busy cleaning up, cleaning up the messy table and throwing it into the trash can like a housekeeper.
Shen Menglan pondered for a long time, then broke the silence and said: "Secretary Chen, you are so busy at work, you can usually find an aunt to help you clean!"
Chen Jing smiled softly and said: "I usually invite people, but I forgot to arrange them!"
He sat back down and said again: "Mr. Shen, we are responsible for what happened to Wanhai Group this time. Let me express my regrets to you! There are indeed many shortcomings in Jingjiang's investment environment, even though we have made a lot of efforts. , but it still cannot be perfect.
This time you have also seen that the whole province is pointing at us, hey!"
Chen Jing said softly "Hey" and grinned, as if he was mocking himself, but also a little helpless, and there was endless exhaustion between his brows.
Shen Menglan kept staring at Chen Jing, and she could see all the changes in Chen Jing's expression.
Suddenly there was a short circuit in her mind. What did Chen Jing say just now? Apologize to herself?
In Shen Menglan's memory, this had never happened before, and she had never seen Chen Jing look so helpless and tired at a certain moment.
The impression that Chen Jing had fixed in her mind was that he was always strong, always overbearing, always had a big temper, he was always lecturing, and he would get angry if he didn't agree with him.
But today, did she actually apologize to herself?
"Chen...Secretary Chen, this...this is nothing! I...I..."
Shen Menglan kept talking about the two me, but suddenly thought of the situation that night when Sanhe happened. She was in danger, surrounded by violent crowds, her high heels were stepped off, and her feet stepped on the hard ground. , that kind of helplessness and panic is really a nightmare.
That night, she lay on the bed bruised and bruised, her whole body so numb.
Except for the doctors and nurses in white coats, there was no one around...
She has parents and brothers, but she cannot talk to these people because her mother is fragile and she is afraid of breaking her mother's heart. But her father is strict and she is afraid of being scolded.
As for the brother and sister, they are completely strangers.
At that time, how much she wanted to have a broad shoulder for him to lean on, someone to sit quietly beside her and accompany her, even if she just said a word of comfort, it would be a comfort to her.
But there is really no one, no one... (To be continued...)
