"Are you stupid? What's the point of being unhappy? I don't have any brains."
"Oh …" Her husband had never been one to beat around the bush. If he said no, then no.
So he was Li Changzhi. ShuShu couldn't help but think of the text message he had sent her. This man seemed to know a lot about Tang Congee. She teased, "Heh heh, he's your old love rival. Sigh, then he really deserves to be defeated. If you want me to choose you, then men should be stronger. To be able to protect women, he's too weak."
Ling Qiao could not help but smile complacently. "Mm, I like those words."
When they reached home, Ling Qiao was about to get out of the car window. He politely greeted them before turning the steering wheel and entering the Ling Family residence.
Shu saw that Lee Chang Zai was giving her a meaningful look, as if he was asking her why she didn't answer his call. Fortunately, he didn't make any further moves.
Shu Shu was pregnant. No matter how unhappy she used to be, she was the oldest now. Her grandmother had always liked her, but now seeing her ruddy complexion, she liked her even more. As for Hu Xin, she did not like Shu Shu, but she would not go against her own grandson.
ShuShu had a taste of the Queen of October.
One day, when Shushu was sunbathing in the courtyard, Mrs. Zhang ran out of the house and said, "Young Mistress, there's a phone call for you."
Shu Shu was stunned for a moment. "A phone call from home?"
"Yeah, that's right."
Strange, very few people knew this number. Other than the Ling Family, no one knew how to call, "Is it my mother?"
"No, a gentleman."
That was even more strange. Shu Shu bewilderedly picked up the phone, "Hello, may I ask who you are?"
"I'm Li Changzhi."
"It's you. How did you know this phone number?" She had already called her home after her cell phone had been blacklisted. However, when she remembered Li Changzhi's jade-like appearance, she wasn't too angry. Previously, when Ling Qiao had said that this person was not good, she had felt that Li Changzhi was definitely a person with an unsightly appearance. However, he had seen his appearance before, when he was warm and considerate towards Tang Thirty-Six, he didn't seem like a bad person.
Li Changzhi faintly smiled and replied without any clear understanding, "I have my ways to find out. Mrs. Ling, I'll go straight to the point. You really don't want to know the real reason why Tang Congee left Lingqiao?"
"It's all in the past, and when they broke up, I didn't know them. I didn't want to know anything about them, and I didn't care."
"But it concerns your marriage, your family, and your husband. You really don't want to know?"
Truth be told, Shu Shu really wanted to know. However, she was more willing to hear Ling Qiao personally tell her that people outside would always make a fuss about it.
Seeing that she was hesitating, Li Changzhi took the opportunity to say, "Tang Congee left Ling Qiao for his own good. Ling Qiao will never be able to repay this kindness in his entire life."
"Why did you tell me? Don't you like her? Why wouldn't he take care of her at this time and stir up feelings between us? I have a good relationship with my husband, so you should be happy. "
The other end of the line fell silent for three seconds, then Li Changzhi indifferently said, "Since you two have a good relationship, you won't be afraid of my provocation, will you?" To love someone, one did not necessarily have to have her. Her happiness was more important than anything else. Since she wanted Ling Qiao, he would not hesitate to help her.
Shu Shu was getting a little angry. She emphasized, "Don't use this kind of provocation. It's useless against me. Mister Li, if you have nothing else to say, then I'm going to die."
Without waiting for Li Changzhi to say anything, she hung up the phone with a "pa" sound. "Aunt Zhang, if this person ever calls again, just say I'm not here."
"Hey, good …"
She was clearly such a good-natured young master, but why was she so irritating when she spoke? Ling Qiao was right, this person was not a good person.
ShuShu walked out the door to bask in the sunlight. The spring sun was warm and comfortable, sweeping away all unhappiness.
The next day, the postman delivered a letter, which Mrs. Zhang signed for.
Ling Qiao went to work after breakfast, and when Shu Shu woke up, she was already three rods under the sun.
"Young Mistress isn't sleeping much?"
"I'm not going to sleep, my waist is sore." These days, it was rather corrupt. Every day, he would eat, drink, sleep, and drink. His waist was even a bit thicker than before.
Mrs. Zhang took the letter. "Young Mistress, it was delivered by mail order this morning. The recipient was you, so I signed it."
"Oh, thank you." Shushu felt a little strange. Generally, letters would write Ling Qiao's name, such as bank statements, water and electricity bills, etc., there was always a bill, but this one was not. It was a yellow brown paper, not a bill, and it even had her name written on it, specifically to send it to her.
Opening the letter, there were five or six pictures, all of them of Ling Qiao and Tang Chuqing, sometimes holding and sometimes hugging, all of them of him taking care of her, and they were also printed with time, which was the last few days. One of them was the silver-gray suit Ling Qiao had worn yesterday, and she had picked it out, saying that he was not old, he shouldn't always wear black, he should always wear younger colors.
These pictures were not that obscene or anything, they were all in public places and there was nothing that could not be seen. Furthermore, Ling Qiao had said that he owed Tang Xiu and Qing Qing. If Tang Qing needed help, he would definitely help her and he would take care of her.
She was not very angry, but when she saw this, she did not feel happy.
Ling Qiao, what did you owe Tang Daqing? Tang Xiuqing, what did you do for Ling Qiao?
Coincidentally, her home phone rang again. She picked it up and asked, "Hello?"
Mrs. Zhang glanced at ShuShu and replied, "Oh, my young mistress is not here."
"Sister Zhang, wait!" ShuShu quickly walked over and took the phone. "Hello, Mr. Li. Let's talk."
Li Changzhi smiled and said, "Sure."
The location was in a coffee shop not far from his home. When he felt comfortable, Li Changzhi was already there, looking as if he was determined to win.
"Speak, what are you trying to say?!"
Li Changzhi smiled and waved to the waiter, asking for a cup of warm water, "Pregnant women are not suitable for coffee. Sorry, but you can only smell the aroma of the coffee."
Shu Shu looked at him, what a good man, a man in his early thirties, but he looked like he was in his early twenties, with delicate features. How could he have such a bad heart? Not only did he follow Ling Qiao, he even secretly took photos and even sent them to his home to force her to come out to meet him.
"Don't interrupt, just say whatever you want to say."
Li Changzhi took a sip of his coffee and calmly said, "It's really hard to get you out. Just agree to it early, and I don't need to put in so much effort."
Shu Shu glared at him. This man was truly like a piece of gold, a piece of jade that could not be taken lightly.
"Let's put it this way. If Qing Qing had given me a little chance, I wouldn't have done this. Unfortunately, her heart only has Ling Qiao, your husband."
"So what? They've already broken up. They've broken up!" How many times did she have to emphasize the fact that her predecessor was her predecessor? No matter how much regret she felt, it would all be in the past. No matter how good her predecessor was, if she were to step in, she would still be Little San.
"I just want to tell you the reason why Qingqing left. After hearing this, you will know why Ling Qiao would take so much care of her."
ShuShu looked straight at him, waiting for him to say, I came today to find out too.
"Three years ago, the Ling Bai Group was in a crisis, their capital was not working well, and they were unable to approve the loan from the bank. Ling Qiao went to the bank to stir up trouble, and was placed in detention." Li Changzhi paused. Seeing Shu Shu's astonished expression, he added, "Prepare your mind, this is only the beginning."
"Cut the crap!"
"At that time, Tang Zeqing was preparing to marry Ling Qiao. Everything was ready and she even sent out a wedding invitation. She gave herself to the bank's president, Zhu Da, to be Ling Qiao's mistress for a few months. The crisis of the Ling Bai Corporation had passed, and Ling Qiao was busy settling down the situation, so he didn't notice anything strange until it became too late for his to endure Zhu Da's bullying. She could only flee to another country to seek refuge. In order not to arouse suspicion from Ling Qiao, she told a big lie, saying that she wanted to look at his ballet dream. "
Li Changzhi almost finished his sentence in one breath. He felt heartache because she wasn't worth it.
"She did not know how long Zhu Da would pester her. She did not dare to come back, much less tell Ling Qiao that she did not return until last year when Zhu Da was transferred to Beijing. She did not expect that you and Ling Qiao were already married. This foolish girl, she has helped others her entire life. The only time she wanted to seize happiness was when she said that she did everything she could do.
Shu Shu was stupefied. No wonder Ling Qiao couldn't let her go and kept saying that he owed her. That's right, with such a relationship, no one would feel guilty about it, not to mention that they were discussing marriage back then.
"So your husband is also in a difficult position. On one hand, he can't lose Tang and Qingqing, and on the other hand, he can't lose you and the child in your stomach."
Children, children, suddenly touched his belly, because of this child, so Ling Qiao chose the child, this is also a responsibility, right?
Shushu walked slowly home. It was only five minutes away from home, but she walked for half an hour and still hadn't reached home. Her mind was in a state of chaos, and many scenes from the past had surfaced in her mind.
She could not resent Tang Thirty-Six, nor could she. In fact, she even thought of her previous enmity towards her and felt very ashamed. She finally understood Ling Qiao's words. He wanted to take care of her life, so he would do whatever he wanted with her. That's right, no one would ignore this favor.
But it was Tang Thirty-Six, the person she really wanted was Ling Qiao, what should she do now?!
Suddenly, the sound of a car horn came from behind. Shu looked back and saw that it was Ling Qiao's car. The time was really fast. Ling Qiao had already gotten off work.
"Wife, where did you go?" Ling Qiao stopped the car beside her and opened the door. "Get in."
Shu got in the car, but her expression was not very good. She forced a smile and said, "It's only these few steps. I want to take a walk. Staying at home all day is too boring."
"Hur hur, then after dinner, I'll walk around the district with you?"
"No, I'm tired from leaving today. I want to go to bed early."
Ling Qiao glanced at her. "What's wrong?"
"It's fine. Hur Hur, I'm driving your car."
Ling Qiao felt that something was wrong, but since she did not want to say more, he did not pursue the matter.
After dinner, the two of them were watching television in the living room. Ling Qiao wanted to say that he was going on a business trip, but seeing Shu Shu's heavy expression, he hesitated. He happened to notice a brown paper envelope in a basket beside the tea table. There were also some small pieces of colored paper. They looked like photographic sheets, but they had been torn apart.
He had a faint feeling that something had happened.
