Chapter 123 - Exploring Zhu Changshan

and Zhao Shensan had gone through a heart-piercing emotional transformation and each of them had gone through an even more severe trial. But no matter what, for strong people like them, even if they knocked down their front teeth and swallowed them, outsiders wouldn't be able to tell, so on the surface, this day at work was very peaceful.

The City Hall's first day of lending to their secretary, Zhao Shensan, ended without a hitch. After getting off work at night, he sent Zheng Yanhong back to his house and hurried off to meet Zhu Changshan.

Zhu Changshan's location today was not set in his villa, but in the most luxurious place in the new city, the Jiu Xiao Hotel. It was the hotel that he had first direct contact with Zheng Yanhong.

When Zhao Shensan arrived, he realized that there was no one else in the large room. Only Zhu Changshan was sitting there drinking tea alone, and he looked very lonely.

"Big brother, where can't we eat? Why must we spend so much money to be enemies?" Zhao Shensan affectionately rebuked.

"I also made an appointment with the people of the East, but I told them to come back at 8 o'clock and ask you to come at 6 o'clock. I just wanted us brothers to talk for a while." For some reason, even Zhu Changshan's voice had an indescribable loneliness in it.

"Oh? Big Bro doesn't look to be in high spirits. What's wrong? Could it be that you are even more unlucky than me? " Zhao Shensan himself felt that he was unlucky enough to get into a situation where he had to drink cold water to the point of clenching his teeth.

"Tch!" You are in a time of great fortune. What is there to be unhappy about? At most, Mayor Zheng would not try to be intimate with you in the future due to using you as his secretary! What could be more serious? " Zhu Changshan's words were shocking, but they also held the truth.

In front of Zhu Changshan, Zhao Shensan would always submit willingly and admit defeat. Now that he had guessed most of the things that had said, and even more so didn't want the topic that Zhu Changshan had guessed to touch the hidden pain in his heart, he sighed and said with a face full of grief: "Big Brother, just think about it, how could you imagine that the lover who helped me to bear a child, Li Xiaolu, who was afraid that my child would be exposed so easily to her, actually beat me up … Also... He even called me to the hospital and showed me with his own eyes that the male doll had taken shape... I... "Pity my parents have been yearning for this grandson for a long time, this time …"

This was completely out of Zhu Changshan's expectations. He sat up straight and said in a shocked voice, "How can this be? This mother and daughter pair were too despicable! So what are you going to do? Do you want to go to her ex-husband and tell him the truth so that she won't be able to see him at all? "

Zhao Shensan's face contorted in pain, because the impact of the incident on him was truly too great. The calmness and indifference he pretended to be in the class earlier in the day had completely collapsed, as he shook his head disorderly and said: "No … Big brother, even if Little Lu has let me down, I still didn't give her any hope to be happy. That's why she did that … Now that the child is gone, so what if I ruin her happiness? I won't be able to exchange it for my son's life! Forget it, let her be … "Just treat it as if I don't have this child in my life …"

The fact that Zhao Shensan could think this way was out of Zhu Changshan's expectations, because he had always believed in the principles of a chivalrous path since he was young, and carried the belief that "if people do not offend him, I will not offend them, but if they do, I will take my revenge". It was not excessive to say that he was vengeful, but if what happened to Zhao Shensan, then Li Xiaolu and her daughter who thought themselves to be smart, would definitely lose their standing and reputation, and would definitely regret it!

After Zhu Changshan finished listening to him speak, he did not make a sound, and only lightly patted the shoulders of who was rubbing his hair. He silently recalled Zhao Shensan's words, and when he thought about it, he seemed to think of something, and actually said to himself, "Sigh! Maybe you're right... Sometimes, when hatred and emotions were mixed together, it was indeed … It's a very contradictory kind of pain! "

Zhao Shensan was immersed in his own pain, and did not notice that when Zhu Changshan said those words, his face was filled with conflict and conflict, as well as an even more intense loneliness and helplessness.

After a while, seeing that Zhao Shensan still had his head down and did not speak, Zhu Changshan finally stood up and said: "Alright, alright, let's see how you do! Since they don't like you anymore, what will you do if I give you a son? Who cares if their husband calls them daddy, how can you endure that? How do you raise them? Even if your new wife was willing to keep them for you, how could Li Xiaolu explain to her husband? People are selfish. I think the mother and daughter pair made the right choice! Even if the child is killed, it doesn't matter if you're dead or not. It's better to not worry about it once and for all.

Zhao Shensan slowly calmed himself down, he stood up and walked into the bathroom he brought with him, then wiped his face with a hot towel and walked out, obviously feeling much better, he said embarrassedly: "Big brother's scolding is right, I, too, have a kind personality, I always feel that I am willing to let others down, not others, no matter how evil others are towards me, I will always consider things from a good point of view."

Zhu Changshan pointed to the sofa and asked him to sit down. He then lit up another cigarette and said: Other than life's problems, there's nothing wrong with work, right? Did you and Zheng Yanhong already completely get to the bottom of things? "

Zhao Shensan looked at him in shock, and then Zhu Changshan said: "You don't need to doubt how I know this, I'm not stupid, you keep bringing it up and you think I can't see through it? Forget it, I won't ask anymore. Then can you tell me why Zheng Yanhong went missing for an entire day? "

Zhao Shensan did not answer his question, but said hesitantly, "Big Brother, I have a feeling that I don't know, right? It's just us two brothers, so don't be angry at me! It's just that I keep feeling that you have an inexplicable feeling about the Mayor Zheng, like … "Ugh …" It's like treating a lover you have a crush on. "

This time, it was Zhu Changshan's turn to be stunned. As if it was the first time he had been exposed, he stared at Zhao Shensan helplessly, and asked after a long while: "Do you really have this feeling? "Is it obvious?"

"Hm!" "Obviously!" Zhao Shensan's train of thoughts had just been pulled out from Li Xiaolu's mind, but she immediately became more shrewd, thinking that she had the mission of investigating for Zheng Yanhong tonight, she asked a question that seemed to ask him for directions. Seeing that Zhu Changshan looked like he had been hit, he nodded his head resolutely.

"Then did Zheng Yanhong see through it as well? "No wonder she would ask me that this morning …" Zhu Changshan said with a rare hint of fear.

"What do you think? "Big brother!" In truth, Zhao Shensan did not know about what Zheng Yanhong had said to earlier this morning.

Zhu Changshan was speechless, he sat down and started smoking again, as though he did not ask Zhao Shensan to come here to talk, but rather felt stuffy. It seemed that he had indeed been touched to a sore spot, and looking at his current state, he was thinking whether he should change his method.

Zhao Shensan understood that this person could not be compared to others, if he did not want to ask further, he would not be able to get anything out of him. He did not want Zhu Changshan to become more bored, so he laughed: "Hehe, Big Brother Zhu, don't you know how much trouble Mayor Zheng has caused Director Ma to suffer!"

As expected, this topic had clearly caused Zhu Changshan to heave a sigh of relief as he raised his head and said, "Oh? "Tell me about it."

"I don't know if that woman is stupid or not, but she didn't even care for a single word and she already married off a woman who is in charge of the Hope Project. She agreed to your request and then agreed to my classmate, Guo Xiaopeng. In the end, Mayor Zheng went all out and split the bidding matter between the various counties. Not only did she get into a mess, she also didn't have any way to account to the both of you, so she wanted to dump the burden on me! Hmph, I still don't understand Guo Xiaopeng. Everything he did always had the word 'profit' written on it, with money in the front. Maybe he would have already given Ma Huimin a set amount of money in order to get the project. How do I explain myself? So I pushed it. She was very unhappy, so she asked me to come and explain it to you. I agreed to that, because I don't think that with her little intelligence, she would dare to let big brother make a big deal out of her, right? "Hahaha!" Zhao Shensan said vividly.

Zhu Changshan laughed disdainfully: "Hmph hmph, the last time I went to the Phoenix Spring to investigate with Zheng Yanhong and her, I already knew that she wouldn't get anything! Actually, the reason why I contacted her and recommended the builder to her for her help was to flirt with her and get her to help as my spy. As for the project, it's naturally good to take it down, but it's fine even if I can't! "

"Ah?" Being an informant? What kind of spy? Could it be that Big Brother wants to scheme against Mayor Zheng? Why? You have a grudge against her? " When Zhao Shensan heard that it was related to Zheng Yanhong, he immediately ran and asked like a monkey that had its butt touched by a hot iron.

"Don't ask about things that have nothing to do with you!" Zhu Changshan said with a cold face: "If Zheng Yanhong had you come over to scout for her today, and wanted to find out why I found out she disappeared yesterday, and whether or not I came over today to specifically check if she was alright, you might as well make her feel a little more pleased. Tell her that ever since I saw her, I have always admired her from the moment I arrived, so I couldn't help but want to take care of her.

"Oh …" So it's like that! Okay then... But big brother? " Zhao Shensan looked at him in shock, and asked hesitantly.

"Don't ask about anything else. Just say it like that." Zhu Changshan waved his hand and stopped the topic, then continued: "As for Ma Huimin, where is she? Tell her, the inside story behind this matter is not that simple, and Mayor Zheng is not very clear on the inside story either. If she asks you what's going on, ask her to ask me personally. "

Zhao Shensan was even more confused now: "Big Brother Zhu, do you take me as your brother or not? Why do you always tell me so little? The matter of the project was just that the county's boss wanted to do it himself because he was afraid of a kickback, and the city happily agreed to it. Wasn't it just that simple? "Why do you tease Director Ma like that?"

Zhu Changshan knew that Zhao Shensan was not like how he was in the past. Being able to get close to Zheng Yanhong was the most advantageous chess piece to play. Look at you, kid. Alright, then I'll tell you why I want to toy with Ma Huimin, so you won't think that I'm hiding this from you. "

Zhao Shensan said happily: "That's more like it."

"Firstly, let me satisfy your curiosity a little at the same time and tell you how I feel about Zheng Yanhong. That is — love and hate are hard to tell! " Zhu Changshan rarely used exclamations, and always had a steady and steady look on his face. Although it wasn't like Lin Maoren who would wooden pronunciation no matter what feelings he had, he also rarely showed any signs of anger or joy. Today, he unexpectedly sighed repeatedly with emphasis, making Zhao Shensan even more curious, staring at him with wide eyes.
