Chapter 36
Chapter 35: Jealous
“Awake?” Gu Shichen had long noticed that the person on the bed was moving, but he didn’t want Zhong Lingling’s attention to focus on others, so he didn’t say it.
He leaned down and touched the bedside bell.
The two are so close, Zha Yangrong can clearly feel the man’s rejection of him.
“Gu Shichen.” The words are concise, only one name, but it is enough to make Zha Yangrong’s pupils shrink and look at him in disbelief, “Gu, President Gu?”
Gu Shichen nodded. He was very curious about the relationship between Zhong Lingling and Zha Yangrong, but he still pretended to be calm. :”You are…”
“Zha Yangrong.”
Unknown, Gu Shichen searched hard in his mind but couldn’t find the name.
He politely said “oh” and carefully examined Zha Yangrong’s face.
Twenty-three or four-year-old, he is the most popular appearance of a handsome and sunny boy at the moment, but Gu Shichen has read countless people, and at a glance he can see the gloom and plans in his eyes.
This is too hard-hearted to be a friend at all.
established balance.
For a moment, countless silent plans that could make Zha Yangrong disappear, but they were silently suppressed by him.
“You are Lingling…?” Gu Shichen pursed his lips and finally asked, but when he turned around, he saw Zhong Lingling standing at the door like a ghost, staring straight at him , startled.
“Ling, Lingling?” Gu Shichen was like a kid who was caught doing bad things, he stuttered and didn’t know what to say, so he took a step back.
Zhong Lingling squinted his eyes, approached forward, looked at Cha Yangrong, his eyes returned to Gu Shichen’s face, squinted suspiciously and asked, “What did you say?”
Gu Shichen’s eyes were erratic: “No, I didn’t say anything.”
Zhong Lingling didn’t believe it. He pulled Gu Shichen’s arm and pulled him aside, and slapped him with his elbow: “Don’t say anything? , aren’t you very capable? If the door is kicked, it will be pretending to be cowardly, don’t pretend, a good domineering president doesn’t do it, what kind of husky are you pretending to be for me here?”
She just couldn’t stand Gu Shichen’s pretence, and every time she made it seem like she was bullying the other party.
No.
“…” Gu Shichen had a black line on his forehead, pretending to be deaf and dumb, with an innocent face, “What?”
Zhong Lingling: “…” I believe in your evil.
Gu Shichen glanced at her gloomy face and asked cautiously, “Just chatting casually, he asked me who I was, and I answered. Isn’t this a courtesy exchange?”
The ghosts believe in your courtesy exchanges, Zhong Lingling directly showed her distrust: “Don’t you want to confuse me with him?”
Gu Shichen’s eyes darkened, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he whispered, “If you want to say it, you can say it.”
Zhong Lingling rolled her eyes: “What if I don’t want to say it?”
“Simple partner relationship.” Gu Shichen insisted, as if anyone who said it wasn’t him could be anxious.
“Okay.” Zhong Lingling gave him a contemptuous look, “It’s not a simple partner either.”
The temples jumped fiercely, Gu Shichen’s pupils shrank, his thin lips pursed tightly, he wanted to say something but he finally held back.
Zhong Lingling knew that he must be sullen when he saw his ink-like face, he laughed secretly in his heart, and explained patiently: “Senior Cha is two years higher than me, and he is studying law again. , I had some money in hand before, and he was short of money, so the two of us cooperated to open an office, and there is no other relationship.”
Zha Yangrong suddenly opened his eyelids and looked at Zhong Lingling in amazement.
Senior? partner?
Not a friend?
Gu Shichen squinted: “Is that so?”
“Yes.” Zhong Lingling waved his hand impatiently, “It’s fine if you don’t believe me, who do you care about me?”
“I believe it, of course I believe it!” Gu Shichen couldn’t wait to express his opinion, “Hello, partner.”
This person is obviously using Lingling. If Lingling treats him unilaterally as a friend, he will definitely be hurt.
But if it is just a partner, at most there will be a loss of money.
What’s more, with him, even a gold medal lawyer, will not harm Lingling’s interests.
Gu Shichen’s tense heartstrings relaxed a lot, and he exhaled: “As long as you say it, I will believe it.”
“…” Zhong Lingling always felt that she was immune to the earthy love words that came out of him, but every time she heard it, she still inevitably blushed and beat her heart, she rolled her eyes uncomfortably, mouth He muttered and didn’t know what to say.
While the two of them were talking, the doctor had already done a comprehensive examination on Cha Yangrong, called Zhong Lingling, opened the medical record, wrote and drew, and said without raising his head: “The patient The wound is a bit deep, and during this period of time, I need to be hospitalized for observation.
“No, no, no.” Zhong Lingling waved his hands again and again and said apologetically, “We are not his family, so we can’t keep staring at him here, or you should tell him the precautions directly. .”
The doctor squinted his eyes: “It’s not the family? Why didn’t the family come? How could one person have suffered such a serious wound?”
“Doctor, his family is not here, so he won’t be able to come over in a short time.” Zhong Lingling was embarrassed for a moment, his eyes lit up, “Or should I get him a nurse?”
Why is this so familiar? Zhong Lingling was stunned for a moment and didn’t think about it.
The doctor hasn’t spoken yet, but Zha Yangrong’s voice is weak and his tone is a little empty: “Lingling, no need, I owe you enough money, no need to hire a nurse.”
If it was before, Zhong Lingling would definitely stay behind to take care of Zha Yangrong.
After all, she is kind-hearted, how can she bear to see Zha Yangrong injured and feel sorry for herself because of a little money.
But now Zhong Lingling, knowing that he is pretending, not only will not feel sorry, but also abnormally enjoy himself as his servant, how can he jump into the trap.
Zhong Lingling laughed twice: “Senior, it’s alright, don’t worry about having a lot of debt, I really don’t worry about you being hospitalized alone, but I don’t know if you want me to hire a nurse. What kind of thing, I’ll give you the money directly, you can see someone who has a good eye for yourself in the hospital.”
“Lingling?” Zha Yangrong’s eyelids drooped, the whole person was decadent and down, his voice was sullen, “I’m the one who troubled you.”
Zhong Lingling said with a smile: “No, no, I just put some money in, which can be deducted from your commission in the firm, I have nothing to lose, senior don’t think too much, take care of your injuries .”
“If the senior has been bad, this will be trouble, I have nowhere to deduct money.” She said it in a joking tone, but it pierced Zha Yangrong’s ear. pain.
Yes, he has no money, not as much as Zhong Lingling’s 3.5 million in one shot.
But is it his choice? Is such a father what he wants?
This is life.
Fate made him.
If he was born in a wealthy family like Zhong Lingling, he would have soared into the sky long ago, how could he be like Zhong Lingling, being played around by men.
Zha Yangrong’s drooping eyes were full of resentment and contempt, he was holding on to the sheets so tightly that his nails almost cut out a hole.
Zha Yangrong took a deep breath and swallowed it.
He can’t fall out with Zhong Lingling, he still needs Zhong Lingling.
He looked down on Zhong Lingling’s weakness and the Virgin, but he needed to step up step by step on these qualities he despised.
He knew it was ironic, but it was his life.
As long as he climbs to the top, as long as he becomes a superior person, see who dares to look down on him, threaten him, and talk about his lack of money.
“Are you finished?” Zhong Lingling asked suddenly.
“Huh?” Gu Shichen realized that she was asking himself, and shook his head, “The general meeting and the party committee are almost over, and there will be a regular meeting at the headquarters.”
“Then why don’t you go?” Zhong Lingling snapped his arm and pushed the person out.
“What about you?” Gu Shichen took two steps forward and asked her back.
“You came by car, right? Uncle Li is in the parking lot. He took me back.” Zhong Lingling took the backpack, turned around and said to Zha Yangrong, who had been watching the two of them without interjecting, “Senior, then we’ll go first, and you can take care of your injuries.”
“Lingling!” Zha Yangrong was suddenly excited, he propped himself up and wanted to sit up, but he hurt his abdomen, struggled twice, his face was hideous, and he was sweating with pain, In the end, he lay down in vain, his eyes full of retention.
“Is there anything else?” A trace of impatience flashed in Zhong Lingling’s eyes. She felt irritable when she saw the pretended weakness of Zha Yangrong. Deceived by his face, more than once, he wanted to tear up his mask and beat his dog head violently when Zha Yangrong deliberately pretended to be pitiful and fell into trouble with his real name, but under the guise of placating himself for his own sake.
Zha Yangrong is sensitive. Last time, he found that Zhong Lingling had a cold attitude towards him, even mixed with disgust.
Yes, he clearly felt Zhong Lingling’s rejection of him, but after that day, he thought about it, but he didn’t expect the traces of his exposure, plus he was busy with work, so he put it aside for now .
Today’s feeling is even more obvious.
She didn’t even want to be in the same realm and breathe the same air as herself.
Is it really discovered, is someone a whistleblower?
Impossible, Zhong Lingling is so stupid, it is absolutely impossible to find out by herself that she is so virgin, even if someone deliberately provokes discord, she will stand on her side unconditionally.
They are friends after all.
Zha Yangrong took a breath, and the shrine stared at Zhong Lingling: “Can you stay and talk to me?”
Gu Shichen’s eyes narrowed instantly, his fists clenched tightly, constantly suppressing the tumbling anger, for fear that if one didn’t hold down, he would rush up and beat people to death.
“Lingling…” Gu Shichen gently pulled Zhong Lingling’s sleeve, wanting to take the person away.
He didn’t know if Zhong Lingling understood the insidiousness and cunning of this person, and he had a deep mind. He could only try to avoid the two of them as much as possible. Gu Shichen, who has always been decisive at the negotiating table and always as steady as an old dog, felt the dilemma for the first time.
inner world.
Zha Yangrong suddenly felt guilty, his eyes dodged, he didn’t dare to face or even glance at Zhong Lingling.
Zhong Lingling said faintly: “Senior, is there anything else we can talk about?”
A thunderous thunder struck at the tip of his heart, Cha Yangrong’s whole soul trembled, he raised his head in astonishment and couldn’t believe his ears: “Lingling, do you… also feel mine Family trouble? Do you regret being friends with me?”
“Friend?” Zhong Lingling sneered, took two steps forward, and stared at him, “I do regard you as a friend, but do you regard me as a friend?”
Zha Yangrong: “What do you mean?”
Zhong Lingling: “Don’t you understand what I mean? Zha Yangrong, I know you look down on me.”
You?”
“You look down on me being skinny and shameless to pursue Jian Chengxuan, you look down on me being born into a rich family but I don’t know how to cherish it. Every day I only know how to fall in love, but I don’t know how to make progress. People are sinister and only know that Our Lady helps others unconditionally, but in fact, in the eyes of others, I’m just a foolish tool man who doesn’t need anything in return.” Zhong Lingling’s lips were slightly upturned in a sarcastic arc, “For example, you.”
The mask on Zha Yangrong’s face was cracked, he pursed his lips and did not speak.
He didn’t know when Zhong Lingling was so sharp that he could see through his heart.
If she was just testing herself, Zha Yangrong would be sure to turn the tide.
After all, Zhong Lingling is really just like what she said in her own mouth, simple-minded, very holy, very easy to believe what others say.
But this time, he was completely wrong.
“Zha Yangrong, if I don’t say something, it doesn’t mean I don’t understand.” Zhong Lingling’s eyes were full of contempt, “I said…why do you look down on me?”
“By your parents? By your lack of money? Or by your lack of status?” Zhong Lingling’s words were like a thousand arrows slamming into Zha Yangrong’s heart, she did not dodge Facing Zha Yangrong’s shocked eyes, he sneered, “I really wanted to make friends with you at first, but your calculations and self-consciousness are too obvious, even if I want to pretend I can’t see it. no.”
“I’m just curious.” Zhong Lingling tilted her head, her big watery eyes full of innocence, “You are so much worse than me, how on earth do you have the confidence to look down on me, and even think that I’m poor?”
“Is it because I can’t follow the illusion that Jane Chengxuan gave you? But I don’t like Jane Chengxuan as much as you think. He is rich and handsome, but I am rich, I If you want to find a handsome guy, as long as I make a phone call, I can choose from all kinds of men?”
“Or because of the marginalization of the Zhong family to me? But what is the Zhong family? Their family is just a little rich, but I have a lot of movable and real estate over the years. You can live a thousand times better than you by collecting rent, how can you look down on me?”
Zha Yangrong coughed twice, his face was pale, and looked at her with a very unfamiliar look: “Since you all know, you still help me?”
“Oh, the office.” Zhong Lingling shook his head indifferently, “I am rich, you can’t imagine rich, a small part is given by the Zhong family, a large part is given by the Zhong family. All of them are obtained by winning the lottery. It’s too easy to get money, and people are easily empty. I bought a lot of real estate and merchants, and I still have a lot left. I don’t know how to speculate in stocks. It’s just a drop in the bucket, you just borrow it, and I just have it, so I’ll give it to you.”
For Zha Yangrong, the unsolvable problem was like a mountain, and Zhong Lingling said it in a few words. “You saved me. You knew that Zha Qiang could do everything, but you still came in and saved me.”
Zhong Lingling looked at him with the expression that he was sure that he would treat him as a friend, and rolled his eyes: “I only entered when I was sure that I was definitely not in danger, even if it wasn’t you, it’s a stranger People, I will save them too.”
“Zha Yangrong, I’m not like you, although the Zhong family is not a good family, but I grew up healthy, I am a normal person, unlike you, no matter what It’s all about meaning and reward, sometimes.”
“It’s better to be simple.”
“Senior, this is the last time I will call you Senior.”
“I can’t pretend to be hypocritical like you, even I feel disgusted and uncomfortable when I see you, but I feel sorry for you and can’t blame you, so I have tried my best to Avoid contact with you, but you are selling miserably here, saying ‘Lingling, stay and talk with me.’” Zhong Lingling choked her voice, making a strange sound, she got goosebumps all over herself, rubbing it. He rubbed his cold arm, “Don’t you just get insulted. Would you like to hear about my recent failure to find a sense of balance? It’s a pity.”
She held her chin up, the soft sunlight shrouded her body, with a faint golden light.
For a moment, Zha Yangrong thought of a fairy tale that he saw as a child very out of time.
The beautiful princess, wearing a gorgeous dress full of sun embroidered with gold thread, attracted the attention of everyone at the banquet, even the prince who had seen countless princesses had never seen one Such a beautiful girl.
The current Zhong Lingling, confident, strong and beautiful, is a side that Zha Yangrong has never seen before.
He even wondered if he was being played by Zhong Lingling.
She said she was acting hypocritical, but isn’t she?
Isn’t what she showed to herself completely different from what she is now?
Zha Yangrong clenched the sheets tightly, and the sweat in his palms was wiped by the sheets and came out continuously.
Zhong Lingling stared at his distorted face, and suddenly laughed lightly: “Then we really have nothing to talk about, we gave up Jian Chengxuan and took the initiative to withdraw from the Zhong family, I don’t know if How good, I also traveled to Europe some time ago.”
Zhong Lingling looked at him and smiled: “That’s what you told me, those scumbags are not worth my groaning, so I just gave them up neatly.”
“I was still thinking about how to slowly cut off contact with you and only maintain the relationship as a partner.” Zhong Lingling said, “I didn’t expect the words to come to this point, so that’s it. , if there is something wrong with the office, you can find someone to contact me, other…”
“Forget it.” After Zhong Lingling finished speaking, she turned around and left.
It was Gu Shichen, who stood on the spot with a black look on his face, glaring at Cha Yangrong angrily.
Zhong Lingling squinted: “what are you doing, I’ll leave if you don’t go?”
Gu Shichen’s voice was cold and deep: “He bullied you.”
“…” Zhong Lingling had a black line on his forehead, “What nonsense are you talking about?! Where did he bully me?”
What happened to her by Cha Yangrong.
“He lied to you.” Gu Shichen secretly said: Even if Lingling realized his true face, he must have been in contact with him at first with the mentality of making friends. As an emotionless cash machine, he also built his happiness on Lingling’s pain.
The most important thing is that he clearly persuaded Lingling to stay away from scumbags, but again and again gave Lingling vague hope, making Lingling like a blindfolded mule, surrounded by Jian Chengxuan This mill is spinning.
“I’m blind, no one can blame others.” Zhong Lingling said.
Gu Shichen pondered: “The firm is a partnership between the two of you.”
“You’re sick!” Zhong Lingling dragged Gu Shichen’s arm and walked out, “It’s been a few years, and I’m still playing the stalk of Tianliang Wangpo. Besides, I don’t care, you are now Speaking of hairball, if you don’t go back, those who don’t know think you want to stay and be a nurse.”
“!” Gu Shichen was not reconciled, but now he had nothing to do. He looked back at Zha Yangrong and was dragged out by Zhong Lingling.
“Ling Ling!”
Zhong Lingling turned around and raised her eyebrows impatiently at Zha Yangrong’s gloomy face after taking off her mask.
