The betrothal gift is 100,000 yuan, what does it mean to give 200,000
Chapter 467 Zhou Cha's Visit
If you shed too many tears and your eye sockets become red and swollen, you will feel pain and dizziness when exposed to strong light.
When walking out of the detention center, Jiang Yao subconsciously stretched out her hand to block the strong sunlight. She was still holding a tissue in her hand, and her little face was a little scratched. She must have cried a lot just now.
Lawyer Gu helped push the wheelchair and kept comforting him.
"It's all over. Don't think too much about it. When Auntie comes out, we'll host a good reception for her. Then we'll smile and face our new life. We won't mention this matter again."
"Wanqing, thank you so much this time. I've been running around for you and delaying a lot of your things. I don't know what I would do without you." Jiang Ning's eyes were full of sincerity as she held the other's hand tightly.
"We are good sisters, Ningning, don't say such polite words. We promised to be lifelong friends in college, and I really didn't help much."
"You say that, and I feel even more guilty."
Just now in the detention center, in this difficult time, the mother and her two daughters forgot all the previous unpleasantness.
If there weren't the iron railings between us, we would probably hug each other and cry.
Ningning and Yaoyao could hardly believe that their mother, who used to have such delicate hair that was not even a hair out of place, was now so haggard. Not only was her face bare and pale, but even her hands were covered with scars, not to mention the cautious and fearful look on her face from time to time.
It really makes people feel distressed.
Moreover, when she heard with her own ears that all the debts had been paid off and that she would be released from prison soon, Jiang Ruxue could no longer suppress the emotions that had been pent up for a long time. She burst into tears, squatted on the ground, and kept apologizing to the two sisters.
She said that she realized how many wrong things she had done, which caused her two daughters to face such a difficult situation and live in fear. She also squandered the inheritance with her own hands and left nothing for her two daughters. She was not worthy of being a mother.
Everyone knows that “crocodiles also have tears”, but the two sisters were completely moved when they heard their arrogant and aggressive mother apologize one after another.
Girls are more emotional after all.
I couldn't hold back my tears at that time. Happy people use their childhood to heal their whole life, while unfortunate people use their whole life to heal their childhood. For them, family is not an ordinary bond that makes people feel infinitely warm, but is full of pain, so much so that even at this age, they are still trapped by it.
If this incident could repair the broken family relationship.
No matter how much money is squandered, it must be worth it in their eyes.
However, after coming out of the detention center and finishing this matter, Jiang Ning did not go back with Yaoyao, but told Lawyer Gu that they should send Jiang Yao back first, as she had things to do.
"Don't tell Chen Zai about my departure when you return to the hospital. I will be back in two hours at most, so he won't be upset if he finds out."
Before getting in the car, Jiang Ning whispered to her sister about the arrangements.
"Sister, what are you going to do?"
"The agency has contacted me for several days, saying that the buyer wants to see the house. I really have to go. The sooner I sell it, the less worry I will have," she explained.
Chen Yuan didn't let her go because her hand was injured and she should rest well in the hospital. He had mentioned it once before that she didn't need to worry about the money and if she had to sell it, he would find someone to help her.
Jiang Ning agreed on the surface, but in her heart she didn't want Chen Yuan to worry about her all the time.
They are boyfriend and girlfriend, not father and daughter... Ningning feels a little guilty about having to ask him to help with everything.
And considering her age, she should be taking care of the other person. Unexpectedly, after being together for so long, the relationship has become the opposite.
"You care too much about that little boyfriend's feelings, really..." Lawyer Gu heard the conversation between the two sisters and couldn't help but complain.
"No way, put yourself in their shoes." Jiang Ning explained.
She quickly closed the car door, motioned for everyone to go back first, and she called a taxi and headed to the other side of Mingzhu City.
……
At around 1:00 p.m., as people in the high-rise conference room of the building left one after another, the originally crowded and noisy room became quiet. Several leaders stretched their bodies and pounded their legs. Even a young man like Chen Yuan felt a little weak in the waist and felt sore in his legs and spine.
Being forced to sit for the entire morning, hardly moving, was several times more tiring than running five kilometers with a load.
Chen Yuan couldn't bear it anymore.
Not only was my waist tired, but my stomach was also growling with hunger.
"Okay, now that we have listened to the report, let's go back first and discuss the project in the afternoon?" District Chief Li asked Chen Yuan for his opinion.
"Take a break," Chen Yuan waved his hand and said to Pei Youwen who had just walked in from outside, "Is there any food in the cafeteria now?"
“You can make it now.”
"Okay, let's leave first," Chen Yuan checked the time on his watch, "and then come back for the meeting at four o'clock."
However, after several people said goodbye one after another, Pei Youwen took the initiative to come forward.
"Director Jiang, there's a call for you in the office. Go answer it. It's from Secretary Zhou."
"Secretary Zhou?"
"Zhou Cha," Pei Youwen reminded, "Just now when I answered the phone, she said you were in a meeting. She asked me to tell you to call her back after the meeting. I guess there must be something going on."
"okay, I get it."
Zhou Cha's sudden call made Chen Yuan give up the idea of going to the cafeteria first. He asked the others to go first and not wait for him. After he walked out of the corridor, he went upstairs to his office.
On the road.
He was still thinking that Zhou Cha was probably going to ask whether the Jiang family’s issue had been resolved.
Because since the last time they met in Mingzhu City, the two of them had not contacted each other in order to avoid suspicion.
To be honest, he should thank Sister Cha, but he has never had the free time because he has too many things on hand.
For Chen Yuan, the secretary beside his biological father is not an elder, but is better than an elder. He is considerate in everything, both in terms of being a person and handling matters, but does not make people feel deliberate. There is no pressure at all when communicating with him, and it seems that he can complain about anything.
This is probably the highest realm of a secretary.
Even if Xiao Pei studies for another ten years, he will never be able to reach the other person's level.
Emotional intelligence is sometimes innate.
In less than half a minute, Chen Yuan returned to the office and called back.
……
"I know you were in a meeting just now, but it's okay. I'll be at your office building in ten minutes. Please wait for me in the office."
After a while, Chen Yuan was a little surprised to hear Sister Cha's voice on the phone.
"Are you in Linzhou?" he asked.
"I happened to be free on a business trip, and the chairman asked me to come and see you."
"So it was my dad who asked you to come...Okay, I'll ask Xiao Pei to pick you up."
The phone hangs up.
Chen Yuan called Pei Youwen who had already gone to the cafeteria.
In the cafeteria.
Pei Youwen had just sat down for a short while when he received the call and quickly stood up, asking Monana and the others to eat first, while he hurriedly got up and left.
Ten minutes, that was indeed the exact time.
At the company's gate, he saw an executive sedan slowly approaching on the road.
"Senior, Mr. Jiang asked me to pick you up." He opened the car door and nodded respectfully.
……
As soon as Chen Yuan had some free time, he took out his phone and quickly replied to Jiang Yao's message. He learned that the two sisters had been released from the detention center and returned to the hospital.
In the silent office.
Chen Yuan was holding his cell phone and sending a voice message to Yaoyao.
"I was in a meeting this morning and didn't even touch my phone. I just had some free time now and was going to eat... You don't have to be so angry about what happened in the detention center. Even if you find someone with connections to ask for help, they can't watch you 24 hours a day."
"The detention center is not like a prison. The guarding order is not that strict, and there is a lot of forced labor. I have inquired about it. It is not necessarily that he was bullied by others. Don't think too much about it."
He sent several long voice messages, thought for a while, and then comforted:
"It will come out in a few days. Forget about the unpleasant things and stop crying, baby..."
In the morning.
He muted his phone, and I'm not exaggerating, he really didn't even look at it.
Jiang Yao sent more than a dozen messages, the general meaning of which was that she saw the injuries on Jiang Ruxue's hands, so she asked him worriedly whether he was bullied in the detention center, otherwise why would his hands be in such a state.
It's hard to say this.
Chen Yuan had never experienced what it was like to be locked up, and he had no way of asking the people he just met in the prison about it.
Anyway, we are locked up now, so we can't expect to eat and drink well and have someone to serve us like we do on vacation, right?
Because this was the mother of two sisters, he couldn't complain.
But there is one thing.
There is no doubt that as he grows up, his personality has become much more mature than before.
I gradually figured out how to treat the two sisters.
In the past, it was difficult to call her Jiang Yao Baby, let alone calling her Jiang Yao Baby in a voice message. It would be embarrassing to even say it in typing, and Yao Yao had to keep pestering her to ask for it.
Now that I'm getting engaged, I don't feel ashamed as before.
He figured out that this kind of thing could be solved with a little coaxing, and didn't need to be taken too seriously. He just needed to let the other person get through this period of emotion.
Getting along with others also requires methods and ways.
Sure enough, after he comforted her seriously, Jiang Yao replied that she understood and told him to go eat quickly.
It seems that the uncomfortable mood has eased a little.
Afterwards, he took the initiative to open the chat interface with Jiang Ning.
It is completely clear that the chat interface between Chen Yuan and Ningning is much simpler and clearer. Most of the time, they are talking about business, and the logic of communication is very complete. Every important word will have a response, without so many emotions mixed in.
But when it comes to private matters, Jiang Ning is somewhat frugal with words.
But it cannot be said to be perfunctory.
For example, in the morning when he was on his way to Linzhou, he told Jiang Ning that he had just left Mingzhu City.
Jiang Ning replied: "Remember to catch up on your sleep, otherwise you'll be tired."
Then he continued: "Okay, wife, thank you for your concern."
Jiang Ning didn't reply.
When she sent the next message, half an hour had passed. Jiang Ning said that she and Yaoyao were already waiting in line in the hall.
The two began to talk seriously.
Chen Yuan also told her to remember to go to the archives room and take out all the documents that needed to be taken, and not to leave any handles in the future.
He finally said, "Remember to wait for me to come back to have dinner together in the evening. I have to get busy."
Jiang Ning replied: "I remember."
There is no communication of any emoticons or emoticons on the chat interface.
So concise.
But I don’t know why, but I can feel the emotions between the lines that cannot be ignored.
Compared to Jiang Yao.
Chen Yuan is indeed more proactive in the chat and he always sends messages first.
It’s not a question of love or not.
It was just because Chen Yuan knew that he had to be more proactive in dealing with Ningning, as she was too introverted. (End of this chapter)
