"It's fine, I'll guarantee it for you. Later on, you helped me catch Zhu Yixiang, so we can make up for it. He should be fine."
Deng Zijun was calm and solemn. After thinking for a while, he finally mustered up his courage and said: "CEO, nothing happened between you and Miss Tang that night. You were confused and could do nothing."
Ling Qiao let out a long breath, "Like I said, I didn't do anything! "But …" He looked curiously at Deng Zijun, "How did she get pregnant?"
Deng Zijun was full of regret, "It was me. She begged me to help her, and I couldn't control myself for a while …" CEO, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, too. "
Ling Qiao was stunned for a moment. He suddenly felt very sympathetic towards Tang Beiqing. This was the so-called love, the only love? "Heh, she is simply unworthy of it. She is simply sullying the word 'love'." Zi Jun, the only thing that you've let me down for is that you didn't tell me the truth in time. If I had told you earlier, Shu Shu wouldn't have misunderstood me and we wouldn't have separated. "
"I know I know, so I've never had the face to see you."
"Things are already like this, there's no use in regretting it. It's better for you to think of a way to make Little Yun accept it. Once you testify in court, she will definitely find out." To Ling Qiao, the sorrow of losing his grandmother and Shu Shu had overshadowed everything. There was nothing more that could make him vent his anger.
After a while, Deng Zijun left the room. Ling Qiao held the phone as he looked at the pictures. He could clearly remember where every picture was taken and what kind of scene it was.
She had no makeup, her face was pale, and her eyes were dull. As she walked, her eyes kept looking down, and she became even thinner, her originally graceful and graceful figure had now become even more sickly in comparison to her wide prison uniform, making her appear even thinner and thinner.
When the wind began to blow again, the leaves rustled in the wind. Tang Congqing turned her head to take a look.
"Hurry up, don't look around."
She lowered her head timidly and quickened her pace, tears streaming down her face. She had never felt so humiliated before.
When she arrived at the reception room and saw her mother and lawyer, she could no longer hold herself back. "Mom …"
"It's sunny again." Chen Yong Hua's aged eyes were already filled with tears. She tightly hugged Tang Xiu and Qing Qing, and the mother and daughter pair cried together.
"Duk Duk Duk!" One of the policewomen knocked on the table and reminded him, "No physical contact, quickly release it." "Time is limited. If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you don't, then go back and stay."
The two quickly loosened their grip and slowly sat down. Tang Beiqing bit her lips and didn't dare to cry again. Chen Yonghua also had tears streaming down her face. "Qingqing, how did you get so thin?"
"Mom, save me! I don't want to go to jail, I don't want to go to jail!"
"Alright, alright, alright. I've found Zhu Da Si to help you, you'll definitely be fine."
This was the hotel room that Ling Qiao had arranged for him. Originally, he had planned to return to New Zealand after this matter was over, but Ling Qiao wanted him to stay and let him think it over.
Shang Xiaoyun, who was wearing a light and fresh housedress, stepped forward to take his briefcase, then took off his suit and put it on the clothes rack. "You're back? The food I ordered just happened to arrive. We can eat it now.
"Okay, I'll wash my hands first."
"Alright, let's go."
Shang Xiaoyun was his high school classmate. They had been together since high school, going to university together and then looking for a job together for eight years. On this trip to New Zealand, Xiao Yun had resigned from her job without a second word and supported him unconditionally.
For so many years, Shang Xiaoyun had always taken care of him. She never asked for anything, never complained about anything, so he took it for granted that she was good at everything and was very satisfied with everything. He did not need to pay anything else. Gradually, the passion faded and was replaced with calmness.
Only after seeing Shang Xiaoyun carefully spread out the newspaper on the tea table and then place the food on top of it, did Deng Zijun realize that he had neglected her. The excitement a man seeks is only temporary, and the price he has to pay for it might be for the rest of his life.
He suddenly hugged her from behind, "Little Yun, no matter what happens, don't leave me."
Shang Xiaoyun froze for a moment, then patted her arm and smiled, "Hey, why did you suddenly say that? "How old are you? Why are you still acting like a little kid? Hurry, it's time to eat."
Deng Zijun swallowed the words at the tip of his tongue, sighed and said, "No, I just felt terrible after seeing what happened to the CEO and ShuShu."
Well, they've been through a lot too, and the most unfortunate thing is that Shu-Shu..." I won't say it anymore, hurry up and eat, if you don't, I'll starve to death! Looking at the steaming hot food but not being able to eat, and also the hunger in my stomach, do you know what it feels like?!
Deng Zijun let go of her and she served a bowl of rice to him. He smiled contentedly like a child.
"Zi Jun, how much longer do we need to stay?" If it's a long time, I might as well cook for myself. The restaurant's food is oily and has a lot of MSG.
"I don't know yet, but I have to testify when the trial starts." He raised his head and looked at Shang Xiaoyun, "Little Yun, don't you want to stay here?"
Shang Xiaoyun shook her head. "I think New Zealand is better. The air is better and freer. There's a lot of room for growth."
"The president wants me to stay."
"Then think about it yourself. If you ask me for my opinion, I will choose New Zealand. But if you decide to stay, then I will stay too, to accompany you."
Deng Zijun held Shang Xiaoyun's hand, feeling touched from the bottom of her heart, "Little Yun, thank you. Since you like New Zealand, then we will go. I will tell the CEO."
"Hmm, it's rare that you're willing to accept my opinion. What, have you done anything shameful?"
"Of course not!" Deng Zijun quickly denied it. Damn it, he really couldn't tell her the truth, "Seeing the CEO and Shu like this, I feel that I am not the same person, that we are one. I can't be this selfish."
Shang Xiaoyun placed a piece of chicken leg into his bowl and said, "Hurry up and eat. So much talk."
Deng Zijun bit his chicken leg. He did not know how much longer he would be able to enjoy Little Yun's care. Xiao Yun was a woman with a very high spirit. Even if she quit her job, she still had quite a bit of income. She was a planner and many companies would look for her to do the plotting, so the price was naturally not low. "Based on Deng Zijun's understanding of her, she shouldn't be able to accept his betrayal.
He had almost said it several times, but the words were stuck in his throat, unable to come out no matter what. He was afraid that she would be disappointed, afraid that he would lose her.
"What are you daydreaming for again?" Shang Xiaoyun waved in front of him.
"No, I'm just tired."
"Alright, then you are responsible for finishing all the food. It's so expensive, you can't waste it."
"Alright." Deng Zijun smiled, but behind his smile was hidden endless worry and anxiety. How could he say it?!
Two months later, the case began to be tried, and Deng Zijun's testimony became strong evidence against his. Shang Xiaoyun could never have imagined that Deng Zijun had sent her to attend the interrogation to tell her that he was involved with Tang Chuqing and that he even had a child.
Without waiting for the interrogation to end, Shang Xiaoyun ran out of the court. Deng Zijun frantically stood up from the witness stand and wanted to chase his down, but the current situation did not allow it.
Ling Qiao used his eyes to signal for him to be patient, and immediately, he chased after his.
Shang Xiaoyun couldn't believe that a man who had been in love with her for eight years would actually argue with another woman. She really couldn't accept that the woman was still Tang Xiuqing.
They had been in love for eight years now, and their love had gradually turned from passion to indifference. The love between them had more or less turned into kinship, but that shouldn't be the reason for his cheating, right?! This man couldn't stand the temptation. She had clearly seen this man today, and the funniest thing was that while everyone else knew about this, she was the last one to know about it.
"Shang Xiaoyun." Ling Qiao chased after him and shouted.
Shang Xiaoyun halted her steps as tears began to flow uncontrollably. Ling Qiao walked up and consoled him, "Little Yun, you've followed him for so many years, you should be very clear about his character. He just can't control herself for the time being. Give him another chance, you're both about to get married."
Shang Xiaoyun shook her head and asked back, "CEO Ling, Tang Congee is your wife. How do you feel about her doing this?"
Ling Qiao bitterly smiled, "In my heart, she has never been my wife. By doing so, I will only feel that she is even more terrifying and filthy. She is a devil, and crying for such a person is not worth it."
"That's because you don't love her, so you can't feel the pain of betrayal."
Ling Qiao's smile became even more indifferent. "Pain, hehe. There's nothing more painful than seeing your beloved die with your own eyes and being unable to do anything about it, right?"
Shang Xiaoyun was speechless. She knew clearly what had happened to ShuShu.
"Little Yun, Zi Jun and the others made a struggle when they testified, and he regretted his mistake. Of course, I'm not saying that you take it as if nothing had happened, but before you make a decision, you must think it through, because if this matter were to leave him, wouldn't you regret it?"
Shang Xiaoyun frowned and hesitated, "CEO Ling, I understand what you mean, it's just that I need some time. Could I trouble you to pass on the message to him? Give me some time to think things through." She did not want to hear any explanation, and she could almost imagine how he would explain it at a time like this, because she knew him too well.
"Okay, I'll tell him."
Shang Xiaoyun nodded and turned to leave.
Ling Qiao stood at the entrance of the court, which was a solemn and dignified place. He believed that the law was just and raised his head to look up at the sky, where a flock of white pigeons were flying under the dark blue sky. Suddenly, the sky appeared to be filled with the sounds of laughter. He stretched out his hand to grab at it, but it was too far away for him to reach it.
She wanted to be free. She wanted to be in a relationship, she wanted to choose the life she wanted to live. Everything here was a kind of constraint for her.
Ling Qiao took a deep breath, not knowing what else to do.
