"Everyone is here, let's start the banquet." Xiao Suiguang raised his wine glass and made a round of respect.
On the rectangular table, Xiao Suiguang sat in the south, Zheng Mimi and I sat on one side, and Sheng Minou and Xiao Meng sat on the other side.
As the dishes were served, the topics changed one by one. Because of the nature of some family banquets, the topics on the table are not so limited, the world is different, current affairs news, wherever you want to talk, Zheng Mimi also provided two celebrity gossips, Xiao Suiguang laughed out loud.
"By the way, Xiao Sheng, how about your new case recently? I heard someone mention that the man who died was a violent man who had always had the habit of beating his wife." While chatting, Xiao Suiguang brought up the case of Shen Xiaoshi's mother, " How can a man beat his wife? Well, now that he was beaten to death by his wife, he really deserves it.”
Sheng Minou stopped the knife and fork, and didn't say much: "The case is still under trial, but it should have a result soon."
Xiao Suiguang nodded, turned to me suddenly, and said solemnly: "Little Lu, remember, a man must never hit a woman. Women are for pampering, loving, and respecting. When you get married, your wife will be the biggest. Understand?"
I was stunned for a moment, and then I heard Zheng Mimi beside me rushing to reply: "Women can't hit men casually, it's always wrong to use violence indiscriminately. Besides, marriage is about mutual respect, everyone is born equal, and there is no such thing as big or small second to none."
Xiao Suiguang couldn't stop laughing: "You girl, I'm helping you talk, why are you tearing down my platform?"
When I saw Sheng Minou eating quietly across the table, looking completely uninterested in participating, I became more and more worried.
He is too good at disguising, what he sees may not be the truth, he looks fine, maybe his heart has already started to boil black water and smoke, and when I step on his explosive point, it will be bad luck again.
I saw that he had nothing to do with this matter, so I deliberately played tricks, sneaked my foot under the table, and imitated the way in movies where men and women cheated on each other, and secretly communicated with him in public.
The instep hooked the calf, and slowly stroked it from bottom to top, while observing Sheng Minou's expression.
He stopped eating the soup, and the spoon holding the soup shook, spilling a little soup.
I was stirring my creamy soup, trying to restrain the smile on my lips so as not to attract the attention of others too much, but my movements under the table became more and more unrestrained.
"Uncle, you were still unwilling to let Xiao Sheng go. You see, if you insisted on keeping him, now Qingwan would lose a gold medal lawyer. Although Mei Teng is good, how can you be your own boss?" Xiao Meng Although he had a smile on his face, I always felt that he was hiding a knife in his smile, and his words were insinuating, not all friendly.
It may also be because of his cunning appearance. When he narrowed his slender eyes, he always gave the impression that he was calculating something all the time.
Zheng Mimi should have the same feeling as me, and whispered: "Of course you agree."
Xiao Suiguang didn't hear her words, but I, who was sitting next to her, and Xiao Meng, who was sitting opposite her, still heard some. A cold light flashed in Xiao Meng's eyes, he seemed a little angry, but he didn't attack because of Xiao Suiguang's presence.
There is one thing to say, I definitely don't bring my own filter, and I don't show my sensuality. Xiao Meng is really not as good as Sheng Minou. Sheng Minou can hold back his anger and talk and laugh happily in the face of even the most stupid customers. Although he can't say that he can't find mistakes in his dealings with others, he will never let others see his emotional changes. He is used to forbearance, and is also used to pretending. Those who are not familiar with him will never be able to understand the bottomless thoughts hidden under his gentle and polite appearance.
And even if I know him as well as I do, we are already in a negative distance relationship, and we often can't sort out his true thoughts.
It is said that being with you is like being with a tiger, but if you want me to say that being with Sheng Minou is like being with a crocodile. Usually, he looks like a sculpture, non-aggressive, but when you relax your vigilance and approach, he will bite you so hard that you can't take care of yourself, not to mention how exciting it is.
"Maiteng is very good. It's great. There are many talents. I am not missing any one, and I am not too much. I play a small role in it. In this case, it is better to switch to a field that is more suitable for me. Serve those who help, this is what Mr. Xiao has always taught me, and you must not forget your original intention.”
Sheng Minou said this beautifully, and incidentally patted Xiao Suiguang's flattery, Xiao Suiguang smiled when he heard it, and Xiao Meng's expression became even worse.
Sheng Minou put down the spoon, stopped eating, picked up a white square towel and wiped his mouth, saying, "A while ago, I received several public welfare cases, one of which was about the medical disputes of Meiteng, which seemed to be related to a new type of anti-allergic drug. It was related. I didn’t answer it at the time, but I was pushed, and I don’t know what happened to the case after that.”
Under the table, he moved his feet, as if he wanted to avoid my harassment.
"There is such a thing?" Xiao Suiguang frowned, "Xiao Meng, you are in charge of drug research and development, do you know about this?"
Xiao Meng's expression changed, showing a bit of nervousness.
"It's okay, uncle, I've taken care of everything, but they're just poor ghosts who want money and want to be crazy. It's nothing special."
Xiao Suiguang saw that he was so determined, so he felt relieved, but his brows were still not completely relaxed, and he said earnestly: "Word of mouth is very important for a company. I have not been in good health recently, and you should take care of the company. Mo Yu is like this, I don't ask her If you are motivated, as the Xiao family, you can only share more."
These words contained a lot of information, Xiao Meng immediately smiled when he heard the words, and couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.
"Definitely uncle."
"Ah!" At this moment, I yelled suddenly, attracting all eyes.
Zheng Mimi looked at me inexplicably: "What are you doing? Bitten your tongue?"
I glanced at it as if nothing had happened, it didn't look like Sheng Minou who stepped on my foot under the table just now, hissed, and said with a smile: "Accidentally bit harder, sorry, sorry, I scared everyone."
Sheng Minou took a sip of the red wine in the glass, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, he carelessly said: "Then you have to be more careful, Mr. Lu."
Lifting the giant crocodile's tail, the stimulation is really exciting, and the pain is really painful.
After dinner, Xiao Suiguang took us to see his collection. I have to say, it’s amazing, the rich collection makes people feel like they are in a watch boutique, and many of them are custom-made models that are not available in the market, which really opened my eyes.
After looking around for a while, Xiao Suiguang greeted me apologetically, saying that he had something to discuss with Sheng Minou, and then asked Xiao Meng to entertain us first, and then went into the study with Sheng Minou after speaking.
Xiao Meng agreed with all his mouth, but then he was always distracted, and every few minutes he had to take a look in the direction of the study, wishing to have X-ray eyes immediately, and see through the door to see what the two of them were doing inside.
Zheng Mimi saw all this in his eyes, lowered his head and fiddled with the phone, typing long paragraphs, not knowing who he was complaining about.
I had an awkward chat with Xiao Meng for an hour, just when I really didn't know what to talk about, the door of the study opened and Sheng Minou came out.
He walked downstairs slowly, and said to Xiao Meng and Zheng Mimi: "Mr. Xiao asked you two to go up."
Xiao Meng didn't say anything, and didn't turn his head back. Zheng Mimi pointed at herself in surprise, a little surprised: "I also have a share?"
I saw that it was getting late, Sheng Minou was holding his coat in his hand, and he looked like he was going to leave now, so he said to Zheng Mimi: "Go up, say goodbye to Mr. Xiao for me, and say that I will go first Thank you for his hospitality today."
Originally, I should have said these things in person, but firstly, it was inappropriate for me, a fake boyfriend, to get involved when they were talking to their own family members; secondly, when I went up and down again, Sheng Minou would definitely disappear, and the gain outweighed the loss.
Zheng Mimi said: "Okay, then do you want me to send you off?"
"No, no, no." I glanced at Sheng Minou who had already left, and said anxiously, "I'll just take Mr. Sheng's car."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zheng Mimi to say anything else, she went after Sheng Minou.
Walking out of the gate, he ran a few steps to Sheng Minou's side, and said with a straight face: "Brother, I didn't drink today, shall I drive you back?"
Without even looking at me, he threw the car keys in my direction. I saw it and caught it, and I was very pleased with his cooperative attitude. As long as you have a thick skin, there is nothing you can't do.
Sitting in the car, putting on the seat belt and just starting off, Sheng Minou suddenly said, "Xiao Suiguang is about to die."
I slammed on the brakes and looked at him in astonishment: "Huh?"
Xiao Suiguang said at the table that he was not in good health recently. I thought it was just a headache and brain fever. Unexpectedly, he was almost dying
Sheng Minou frowned, as if he was quite uncomfortable being braked by me.
"If you dare to step on the brakes like this again, get out of here."
I shrank my neck and stepped on the accelerator lightly, with a gentleness I had never felt before.
"What's wrong with Mr. Xiao? You look healthy, are you sick?" Driving out of Xiao's villa, I resumed the topic.
"Cancer." Sheng Minou didn't say that he was half hiding and half hiding, so he threw out two words in a simple and clear way.
Reminiscent of the phone call that Sheng Minou answered before, it seems that he knows Xiao Suiguang's physical condition is not a day or two, but he doesn't know how much the secret conversation between the two of them in the study today has to do with this matter.
"Then Xiao Suiguang called you here today..."
"Make a will."
So it turned out that Xiao Meng might have sensed something, which is why he seemed so urgent. But judging from the performance of Xiao Moyu and Zheng Mimi, it doesn't look like they know about Xiao Suiguang's condition. It seems that he didn't tell everyone the truth.
"It's a pity, Mr. Xiao is only in his fifties, he is a very promising age." I sighed a little.
"Life will come to this point eventually, some people are earlier, some people are later, there is nothing to regret."
There were cars coming and going on the road, the stream was constantly flowing, tall buildings stood tall on both sides of the road, brightly lit, it was obviously a lively scene, with Sheng Minou's words as the background sound, it was a bit bleak for no reason.
He was talking about Xiao Suiguang, and I felt that he was actually talking about me through Xiao Suiguang. He asked me the question in the bathroom before answering me - would he be sad if I died suddenly.
According to what he said, the general meaning is - everyone is mortal, even if I die a little early, there is no pity.
Hey, it really fits his cold personality.
"You can't say that. People are mortal. Apart from sooner or later, there is also the difference between lighter than a feather and heavier than Mount Tai." I tightened the steering wheel and said, "If it is not the end of life, even if you accept your fate, your relatives and friends will be unwilling. So there is At that time, the one who died was not the most painful one, but the one who continued to live with the memories of the two of them was the most painful one. Not everyone can accept an unexpected death, and some people may even have an overreaction."
Although more than ten years have passed, he may not still have that kind of thinking now, but I am not at ease, and feel that it is still necessary to popularize the attitude of normal people towards "death".
Sheng Minou was silent for a long time without answering, the car became quiet, and when I encountered a red light ahead, I stepped on the brake slowly.
"It's like Xiao Suiguang is going to die now, and Xiao Moyu must be very sad because he wants to support his son but refuses to be loved."
"Really?" Sheng Minou's tone was full of suspicion.
I choked and felt that I had found a wrong example.
I hurriedly changed another one: "Shen Xiaoshi... If Shen Xiaoshi suddenly had an accident, of course I just said that, I will be heartbroken. Even if it is Wu Yi, if he dies young, I can't say I am heartbroken, but It still hurts a little bit. This is empathy."
Xiaoshi, Wu Yi, I'm sorry, brothers are here to apologize to you.
"Then your emotions are quite rich and delicate." Sheng Minou leaned over and turned on the car player, and the next second a melodious and exciting symphony streamed from the speaker. As he spoke, he leaned back in his chair while the music sounded.
I subconsciously felt that this was a bit wrong, and when I tried to talk to him in detail, the music was too loud and the vehicle in front of me started to move, so I had to give up.
For the rest of the ride, Sheng Minou didn't speak any more. He lowered the back of the chair, turned his face to the side, and seemed to be resting.
In fact, what I most wanted to say to him was never said out of my mouth.
"If you really dare to die in front of me, I will dare to hate you because of love, and let you see how extreme I am, so that you will not live in peace." Hidden in the music, I said in a voice that only I could hear .
When I got downstairs to his house, I parked the car, and just about to wake him up, I found that he had already opened his eyes, and I wondered if he hadn't slept at all.
Get out of the car and return the car keys to him. He was about to go upstairs without saying a word, I pouted and took his hand from behind.
"Don't you want to say something?"
He turned around, looked at me with a frown, and said, "Thank you?"
I quickly leaned over and kissed him hard on the lips.
"Thank you for showing your sincerity, Lawyer Sheng."
He stood there, squinting slightly at the hand I was holding him, not angry, but not too happy.
I let him go: "Don't look like that..."
Before the fingertips left his cuff, Sheng Minou suddenly took my hand back and pulled me towards him. My eyes widened, my mind was blank, and my heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of my chest.
The back of his neck was firmly pressed, he leaned over and kissed my lips, the tip of his tongue opened my teeth, and gave me a deep and brutal kiss.
It's just that before I could respond, everything was over again, and he backed away to keep a safe distance.
"Is sincerity enough?" he asked.
I swallowed, and stared at him blankly.
It was not so much a kiss just now, it was actually more like a wild beast tasting the delicacies that he had stored for a long time. When he bit my tongue, I felt like I was going to be eaten by him from the tongue.
He looked at me stupidly, and the joy of regaining the city flashed across his eyes. Before I could answer, he turned and went upstairs.
I stared at his back as he disappeared behind the glass door, and it took me a long time to react. I wiped the coolness around my lips with my fingertips, and squatted down on the ground with my legs limp.
"Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck..."
To say that everyone is an adult, it’s not that they have done too much, and it’s not the first time to kiss, but I’m still like a young boy in love, kissing the cheek for Sheng Mingou is so passionate, it’s hard to control myself.
