The next time Lin Qingrou saw Fang Tong, it was at a Chamber of Commerce.
Fang Tong didn't seem to have changed at all. He was still dressed in the attire of someone walking far away at any time, and the scars on his forehead weren't any lighter.
He seemed surprised to see her. "You seem to be in good shape lately."
She smiled. "It's okay, it's always been like this. There's nothing good about it."
Fang Tong did not understand, but he said to her, "It seems that your relationship with Ye Qingming has eased up quite a bit."
Lin Qingrou was stunned for a moment. Then, remembering that he was one of the people who knew of his true intentions, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.
Fang Tong seemed to read her thoughts as he tactfully said, "I'll go over and take a look first. See you another time."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Lin Qingrou quickly called out to him. Seeing that no one was looking their way, she lowered her voice and asked, "Was the matter with Ye Qingcheng caused by you?"
Fang Tong did not seem to know. "Ye Qingcheng, what is it?"
Lin Qingrou looked at him helplessly, then continued, "Don't play dumb with me, other than you, no one else would dare to do such a thing."
Fang Tong suddenly smiled when he heard this and bumped into her wine cup. There was a "ding" sound, as if the sound from the cup was enough to answer her question.
Lin Qingrou took a deep breath and sighed, "It's really you! You're still like this, using any means possible for the sake of the news. "
Fang Tong toasted her with another glass of wine before he finally said his own words. "If I had the choice, I would rather die in pursuit of the truth."
Lin Qingrou didn't know whether to admire him or laugh at his overconfidence.
Truth? What was the truth? Could it be that what his eyes saw was the truth? Or was it the truth? People only wanted to believe what they saw, how could they ever believe the truth!?
She didn't know what to say, so she could only say that Fang Tong was even braver than she was. However, she could only watch from a distance to see if this courage could bring her what he wanted.
Before the two of them parted ways, Lin Qingrou said to him, "Regarding Ye Qingcheng's matter, you should let it go for now, in case it gets burned."
Fang Tong looked at her in amusement. "You're not such a coward."
Lin Qingrou shrugged, "Of course, I've never been brave. I was only bullied by others, that's why I'm trying to return the favor. But if the time has not come, I would rather wait. "
Fang Tong seemed to be shaking his head, but he still smiled. "Alright, I'll try my best."
"Ye Qingcheng's power is huge, bigger than what we've imagined. You can't risk your life for your company. "
Her words were very explicit, and how could Fang Tong not know the consequences?
At this moment, he had no choice but to say seriously, "I understand. Don't worry about this. I won't start a fire, and I won't implicate you."
Lin Qingrou looked at him, but just as she was about to continue, Zhao Ru suddenly called out to her.
"Today I've been busy all day, so I might as well go home early. Come to work on time tomorrow. Is this your friend? " Zhao Ru looked at Fang Tong.
Fang Tong could not see Zhao Ru's face clearly in the face of the evening light. After greeting her, he watched her walk off into the distance.
"Your new boss?" he asked.
Lin Qingrou nodded.
Fang Tong pondered for a while, focusing his attention on Zhao Ru's back as she left. He could not help but mutter, "I seem to have met her somewhere before."
"What did you say?" Lin Qingrou asked.
Fang Tong hastened to say, "It's nothing, I just thought she was pretty."
Lin Qingrou was a little surprised, because he seemed to have never evaluated a woman's looks before.
She looked at Fang Tong and teased, "That's true. Women with both talent and ability are always particularly dazzling. I think you two are quite well-matched. "
Fang Tong had no time to think, so he subconsciously replied, "Forget it, they all have boyfriends."
Lin Qingrou gaped for a moment, looking at him warily.
"You two know each other?"
"What?" Fang Tong suddenly remembered something.
Lin Manshou came to a nearby teahouse. Looking at how he tried to recall it, Lin Qingrou's heart was filled with curiosity and excitement.
After a long while, he finally remembered after the time it took to make a cup of tea.
"When I was following Ye Qingcheng, I took a photo of her!"
Lin Qingrou was shocked, she then asked, "Who, Zhao Ru?"
Fang Tong seemed to connect the two pieces of information together, his expression solemn and serious.
"Zhao Ru and Ye Qingcheng will be together."
Fang Tong clapped his hands together and said, "It's her. Those few days, our people followed Ye Qingcheng. They were together all the way to his villa!"
"Villa..."
Lin Qingrou recalled the address of the villa and explained it in detail to Fang Tong.
Fang Tong was surprised. "How did you know?"
Lin Qingrou hesitated before replying, "I've heard Ye Qingming mention it before."
This time, she completely understood who the person Ye Sisi was curious about was, it turned out to be Zhao Ru.
This news seemed very shocking, but in some places, there were hidden reasons behind it.
When Lin Qingrou told Liu Yuxi about her discovery, she saw that her mouth was wide open in shock, just like herself. She exclaimed, "It's her! It's actually her!"
"If it wasn't for the conversation we just had with Fang Tong, we probably would still be blindly guessing about Ye Qingcheng's mistress and Zhao Ru's family background."
Liu Yuxi suddenly said, "In that case, you have to guard against two people in this company, one is Shen You Mi and the other is Zhao Ru!"
Lin Qingrou looked at her, her heart sinking to the bottom.
Liu Yuxi sneered, "This Zhao Ru really knows how to play. She's obviously Ye Qingcheng's man, and she's even trying to make you misunderstand Shen You Mo. She's always blocking people's path, so she can relax her guard."
Lin Qingrou sighed. She knew this path was extremely arduous, but she had no other way out. She could only brace herself and advance forward.
Liu Yuxi couldn't help but ask when he saw her, "I saw something wrong with your face. There's been a lot of things that happened recently. Are you tired?"
Lin Qingrou nodded her head. She had to admit that she was indeed burdened with too many burdens. She was afraid that one day she would collapse completely. The worst thing was that when she had collapsed, the enemy was still smiling and continued to live a happy and happy life.
Liu Yuxi couldn't bear it anymore, "Since you're tired, let's take a break. No matter how urgent the plan was, it had to be kept for a long time. We can't just get to the end of the line. It's meaningless. "
Lin Qingrou seemed to have thought of something as she quietly buried her face between her knees and asked softly, "Yuxi, after you get married, will you want a child?"
Liu Yuxi replied without hesitation, "Of course, why not? There's no need to force the issue of having children. Just let nature take its course. "
Lin Qingrou silently repeated her words, "Let nature take its course …" I'm afraid we don't have much time. "
Liu Yuxi almost put his ear close to her face, but he still couldn't hear what she was saying.
"What did you say?" "Can you be a bit louder?"
Lin Qingrou's fingers crossed over each other as he clenched them tighter and tighter until his fingertip and joints started to gradually turn white. He felt a burst of pain. She finally let go of her hands and said numbly to Liu Yuxi, "We don't have much time left. If Ye Sisi marries into the Ji Clan, Ye Qingcheng's status will be even more secure. I'm afraid that we won't be able to shake her."
Liu Yuxi couldn't help but feel nervous as he asked worriedly, "What should we do next?"
Lin Qingrou almost broke the glass in her hand. She looked towards Liu Yuxi and said, "If it's the last resort, we'll have to sacrifice Ye Sisi."
Liu Yuxi was shocked and asked her again, "Ye Sisi? "Do you really have to …"
Lin Qingrou smiled, "Is there anything else I don't want to part with?"
Liu Yuxi looked at her coldly. After a long while, he slowly patted her shoulder and only said, "Okay, I'll help you."
Lin Qingrou looked at her, a bitter smile on her face.
Liu Yuxi had already found a lawyer for Chu Yin and was waiting for her to come back when she had time to talk more.
Chu Yin didn't hold much hope at first, but when she received the news, she was still grateful to Liu Yuxi.
"It's nothing, we're all classmates."
Liu Yuxi had a very different mindset from the first time when he went alone this time. He just wanted to be a spectator. Having helped her up till now, she had already done her best.
This time, Chu Yin was dressed neatly and elegantly, as if that haggard and aged woman was just a facade that didn't exist.
Liu Yuxi asked her straightforwardly with a strong tone, "You're dressed so beautifully, do you want to go see your boyfriend?"
Chu Yin was stunned. She didn't know whether to laugh or not. She awkwardly looked at her.
Liu Yuxi understood and tried to persuade her instead. "It's okay, we'll meet again when we see each other. However, this must be the last time I shall see him. "
Chu Yin looked at her in surprise. "Why!?"
Liu Yuxi Wei frowned. She put down her coffee cup and said, "A lawyer will explain the reason to you in the future. Just do as I say."
Chu Yin heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest, unwilling to part with her.
Liu Yuxi couldn't help but sneer in his heart, before asking her again, "Chu Yin, tell me the truth, will you really treat your child well?"
"Of course, I'm his mother, how can I be bad?"
"Do you still remember our class' Liu Tianshu? He and your son are very much alike... "
When Chu Yin heard this name, she immediately cut Liu Yuxi off, "Stop!"
After saying that, she seemed to realize the change in her attitude. After quickly drinking a mouthful of hot tea, she apologized, "Sorry, I was a little agitated earlier."
"No problem, I understand." Liu Yuxi was especially patient.
Liu Tianshu had been their classmate and their branch secretary. Although introverted but of good character, good looks, even once was the secret crush of many girls in the grade. But just as everyone was about to graduate, they received news of Liu Tiashu committing suicide. While everyone was still in shock, they finally understood the reason.
So it turned out to be the result of Liu Tianshu's stepfather's continuous mistreatment. In the end, it had turned into a bitter result.
People don't pity their stepfather's guilt, because he deserves it. Most people would only silently feel pity for Liu Tianshu.
If he had not been ill-treated, he might have been a cheerful, kind-hearted, high-spirited youth. But now, it could only be transformed into a loess, buried in a place that no one knew of, quietly submerged in everyone's memories.
Chu Yin swore that she wouldn't let her child become Liu Tianshu's second child, but by the end, she had gradually lost her confidence.
Life is full of variables. The person who may still be talking and laughing with you today, will push you into a bottomless abyss tomorrow when you don't know it. In this world, you can believe in Buddha, in religion, in the truth, in all things, but you can't!
Liu Yuxi looked at her ashen face and felt his heart soften.
"I know you're sad, but it's not just your own business, it's the child's. It's different if you get divorced and marry someone else after you're single. I hope you can consider it. "
"Also, I asked the lawyer yesterday, and he said that your chances of winning are not very high, so I hope that you can prepare yourself."
Chu Yin suddenly raised his head and stared fixedly at Liu Yuxi. "Why!? Why is the chances of winning not high? "
Liu Yuxi thought for a moment, and said to her word by word, "First of all, both you and your husband have signs of cheating. Do you have any evidence to prove that he has cheated? Photos, videos, guarantees, nothing. Second, do you have a source of experience? "After the divorce, what did you rely on to support you and your son and continue to rely on that psychiatrist?"
Chu Yin refused to give up. "I can find a job and earn money myself. I'm willing to do anything!"
Liu Yuxi said, "Then how about the time you were looking for a job? The judge wasn't stupid enough to assign a child to someone who didn't even have a source of income. "Besides, can you guarantee that your parents won't splash dirty water on you for the sake of your children in court?"
Chu Yin stared blankly at Liu Yuxi, not saying a word.
Liu Yuxi sat for a while longer. Seeing that she seemed to have decided on what to do, he stood up and said, "I've already given you the lawyer's contact details. What should I do? I want you to have a good talk with him. I wish you success! "
Leaving the shop, Liu Yuxi made a call to Lin Qingrou.
She couldn't suppress her excitement. "I finally managed to get her through."
Lin Qingrou held the phone and looked around the studio, smiling. "That's good. Actually, she did it for her own good. I'm afraid she's impulsive enough to be with that psychiatrist, just in case, what's going to happen to the baby? "
Liu Yuxi smiled, feeling pity for him again. "But Chu Yin can't possibly never marry again just because of her child."
Lin Qingrou advised her patiently, "She has her own grasp on Chu Yin's fate, but it definitely can't be this therapist!"
Liu Yuxi nodded, "I think that Chu Yin is more dependent on him than her love for him. Luckily, you had Ye Qingming inquire about this person. Otherwise, Chu Yin really would have jumped from one fire pit to the other. "
Lin Qingrou nodded, then continued, "Don't tell her about the therapist for now, at least let her get married first. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that all of her hopes would be gone, so I simply accompanied that scum guy until he's crippled. "
Liu Yuxi kicked a rock by the side of the road and sighed, "That's true, let's let her get rid of this huge burden first. Once she finds a suitable job, her new life will naturally begin to change, and she won't have any time to think about the therapist anymore."
Seeing that she had found the information, Lin Qingrou quickly hung up. She still had work to do. After walking out of the recording studio, Lin Qingrou coincidentally bumped into Zhao Ru, who was passing by.
She greeted him as usual.
Zhao Ru seemed to be in a good mood today, unexpectedly she smiled.
"What do you think about the Merchant Guild from yesterday?"
Lin Qingrou looked at her, unsure of what she was thinking. If she wanted to ask about the meeting, she could ask the Vice President or some of the more senior employees why she was asking herself right now.
Seeing that, Lin Qingrou thought about her expression when they met yesterday, and said, "I think it's quite a good world, with good development direction and resources. "However, this is also my opinion. The final decision still needs you to make."
Zhao Ru looked at her with a smile, seeing that she was carrying so many documents, she frowned: "In the future, call Little Shen to do these things. She's my assistant, I can't possibly let you do everything yourself."
Lin Qingrou thought back to her conversation with Fang Tong and didn't like Zhao Ru's facial expression. She explained it to Shen You Mo and then returned to her office.
After replying to the questions in the office, the moment she sat down, she saw that Shen You Mo had returned with a thick stack of printing paper. She was panting heavily as she sat down in her own seat.
Lin Qingrou placed a cup of water on her table and asked caringly, "You went to find a doctor first, then you went to look for information. Did you find anything useful?"
Shen Youmo looked around, putting the things she just brought back under the table, and smiled mysteriously at Lin Manrou, then said, "Just now, I went to the hospital and asked the professor. He said that if I could raise the money as soon as possible, he would be able to cure my mother's illness."
Lin Qingrou looked at her thoughtfully. "Really? If it's true, that's good. "However, where should I borrow your money from?"
Borrowing money was easier said than done. Furthermore, he had borrowed a lot of money from his relatives in the past few years from his mother when she was sick to Shen You Mo's school. If others saw them and had to avoid them, who would lend them money?
Lin Qingrou knew about this, and Shen You Mo knew even more.
Her expression gradually dimmed as her fingers intertwined with each other, causing her heart to feel restless.
Lin Qingrou didn't say anything, because she knew that she wasn't in a position to help her, so she definitely couldn't extend her hand out right now.
He could help her, but he was far from the right time to do so.
Shen You Mo looked at Lin Manchu, wanting to say something, but hesitated.
Lin Qingrou turned around and was about to return to her office, but then she said to her, "Think carefully, is there anyone else who would help you? Maybe ordinary people don't know how serious your mother's illness is, but maybe some people do. Maybe the person who knows about this disease will help you? "
Then, she turned around and went back to her office. She looked at Shen You Mo's face through the glass. Not long later, her expression slowed down, as if she had thought of who she should look for.
