The person outside the suite came and went silently. The wall lamp in the corridor pulled the man's footsteps thinner and thinner until he finally disappeared in the distance.
In the suite.
Two bottles of red wine are not enough to get drunk.
After a crisp sound of clinking glasses, Yanliang raised his head and drank it in one gulp, but Lu Zheng, who was sitting on the floor like her, was just playing with the wine glass in his hand, with hazy eyes that were quenched by the smell of alcohol, and kept looking at Yan Liang opposite him: "What is going on today? What makes you so happy?"
Yan Liang waved her index finger in front of him: "Secret."
Lu Zheng stopped asking, and poured her another half a glass.
The temperature of the air conditioner was a little low, so cold that he rubbed his arms, but he still didn't care. Seeing this, Lu Zheng immediately put down his wine glass and stood up: "I'll help you get a coat to wear."
When Lu Zheng returned with his coat, he saw that she seemed to be really drunk, lying on the coffee table and talking to herself. The pure white carpet like melting snow made her eyes shine black, but he couldn't figure out the emotion in her eyes.
Lu Zheng also sat back on the carpet, and when he listened closer, he realized that she was actually humming.
This is the first time I've heard her sing, if the mosquito humming is considered singing. Lu Zheng couldn't help laughing, and was about to pat her on the shoulder to make her speak louder, but his smile gradually froze.
…
…
want to get out of your control
But walked into the battle situation you arranged
I don't have strong defenses
there is no way back
I want to escape the trap you set
got into another predicament
I don't have the courage to decide to lose
no luck in escaping
I'm like a chess piece
It's up to you to decide
I'm not the only general in your eyes
but humble soldier
…
…
The singing gradually faded away, Lu Zheng watched her slowly close her eyes.
The rest of the wine was drunk by Lu Zheng, but he didn't seem to be drunk. Instead, he became more sober, and her singing voice echoed in his head became more and more clear:
I'm like a pawn
come and go is up to me
Raise your hand, you never hesitated
I'm in your hands...
Looking down at her, she was already asleep.
Lu Zheng raised his wrist to look at his watch, got up lightly, and carried her into the bedroom.
After settling her down, he hesitated for a moment, but was not in a hurry to leave. After staring at her for a long time, Lu Zheng leaned over and almost kissed the center of her brow, but stopped again, bowed his head slightly, and kissed the corner of her lips.
Maybe it wasn't even a kiss at all, just a pious, but faint, imprint. But he has already noticed that her eyelashes trembled suddenly.
He knew that she was already awake, half propped on the edge of the bed, and when she finally couldn't pretend anymore, he opened his eyes by himself.
"Give me a chance. Give yourself a chance too." Lu Zheng's voice filled with softness.
"I… "
"Don't rush to answer me." He had already stood up, and before she pushed him away resistingly, "Every Christmas, our family goes on vacation, and this year we have already booked a trip to Zurich. I asked your assistant, what about Christmas? You shouldn't be busy, if... you're willing to go with me then, I'll take it as your answer."
"..."
"Good night."
Christmas is getting closer and closer. This is what Yan Liang is still hesitating about.
The day when she closes the net is getting closer——
The more the conspiracy to put people to death, the deeper it is hidden, the more calm it appears on the surface. On this point, Yan Liang never hesitated.
Jiang Shijun hand-picked November 1 as the date for his new product launch. What an arrogant person, he chose such a date full of "first" momentum. Of course, except for the launch date, Jiang Shijun disclosed all other information to the public. It is kept secret, which makes Libo's new product covered with a layer of mystery.
J'appelle was originally scheduled to hold a new product launch event on November 3rd. Similarly, Yanliang has kept its new product secret. The two companies were clearly arguing secretly, and the media, who liked to add fuel to the picture, gathered outside Yanliang Company to arrest her.
Yanliang had no intention of being arrested at all, and naturally walked out through the main entrance after work. As soon as she showed up, the reporters flocked over: "Miss Yan, J'appelle is scheduled to be held on November 3rd, Libo is one day ahead of you, this is obviously targeting! Have you ever thought about holding the press conference?" ahead of time?"
"November 3 is of great significance to our Xu family. The Xu family was officially established on this day. I believe this will be a continuation of good luck."
"Then you keep your new product so secret this time, is it because you are on guard..."
Yan Liang didn't answer, just smiled at the reporter, and got into Hou Zai's car by the side of the road as the security guard opened the way.
The driver immediately started the car and drove away. Yanliang glanced at the reporters through the rearview mirror outside the car, and checked the time on the phone. Today is... October 21st, a month has passed since she and Zhu Chengzhi reached a consensus, and according to She was completely victorious, and there were still ten days left, and she couldn't wait to see Jiang Shijun's crushing defeat.
As for Xu Ziqing, he had already learned a painful lesson before Jiang Shijun—
The final judgment of the case was scheduled for mid-to-late October, on the 26th, and the trial was held as scheduled.
Before the trial, Zhou Cheng saw her outside the court, he interrupted the conversation with the lawyer in surprise, and walked towards Yan Liang quickly: "Why are you here?"
"See what happens to the wicked."
There was a sneer in Yan Liang's words, Zhou Cheng seemed to be offended by her, and suddenly frowned. Xu Ziqing was the man who tried his best to protect him. Yan Liang had already gotten used to it, so he naturally turned a blind eye to his anger. Zhou Cheng sighed, glanced at the entrance of Court No. 2, and begged Yanliang for mercy: "You better not go in, I'm afraid she will see you and her mood will be more unstable."
Yan Liang smiled at him, bypassed him and walked straight away.
Within half an hour, Yanliang saw Xu Ziqing in the court. In fact, it was not as Zhou Cheng expected, Xu Ziqing kept his head down all the way, and never noticed that she was sitting in the auditorium, why was he emotionally unstable
In fact, Yanliang could no longer recognize Xu Ziqing in the dock, his appearance hadn't changed at all, but the agility and arrogance in his eyebrows and eyes had disappeared.
Xu Ziqing's mood was very stable - despair, only despair.
It wasn't until the moment when the verdict was finally pronounced that Xu Ziqing raised his head for the first time.
This time, Xu Ziqing cried hoarsely.
Yan Liang sat in her original position, motionless, Xu Ziqing, who was destined to go to jail, was crying so sadly opposite her. For the first time in her life, she saw her sister so helpless, but she was not happy at all.
But also, not sad at all.
Lawyer Gao sat on the defense bench, leaning on his head in great frustration. It took him a long time to get up and walk towards Zhou Cheng who was in the gallery: "I'm sorry."
Zhou Cheng bit his lip until he bled, and then he managed to look away from Xu Ziqing who was taken away, and said to Lawyer Gao, "Don't say that, you have already reduced your prison term to the minimum."
"We lost the lawsuit, so we have to think of other ways, and try our best to make Miss Xu successfully parole for medical treatment."
"It can only be the."
While Zhou Cheng was speaking, a figure was passing him. Zhou Cheng was startled, and turned his head to look—Yanliang walked towards the exit without looking back, without saying hello.
This woman, like a true bystander, watched Xu Ziqing's trial with cold eyes. Tell everyone with a determined back that she wants to bid farewell to all this and start a life that truly belongs to her.
Yanliang is really looking forward to Libo's new product launch as if she was looking forward to a new life.
As the biggest trend of Libo in the industry in the past two years, the press conference has attracted a lot of attention. Holding the invitation letter, Yanliang, as Lu Zheng's companion, stepped into the hall, and saw the CEO of Libo, Jiang Yunan, who was being blocked by reporters for an interview.
Feeling that she slowed down beside him, Lu Zheng couldn't help but look back.
There seemed to be a silent electric wave overflowing in this space, Jiang Yunan suddenly raised his eyes, and looked to the periphery beyond the surrounding of many reporters.
Jiang Yunan didn't have time to look back, and the journalists who had already attracted high professional sensitivity looked back one by one, and immediately discovered a new target.
Naturally, the reporters didn't want to let go. Under the push of countless microphones and cameras, after a while, Yan Liang and his party were surrounded by Jiang Yunan who was still answering reporters' questions.
Some called her Mrs. Jiang, some called her Miss Yan, Yanliang was only stunned for half a second, then smiled and circled around.
What the reporter is most interested in is not the press conference: "Miss Yan, Libo's draft didn't say that you were invited, did you? You are..." The meaningful eyes couldn't help but glance at Lu Zheng on the other side.
Apparently, everyone had guessed about seven or eight points. Didn't this embarrassing Ms. Yan come here with the invitation from Libo to Mingting Group
Yan Liang's smile did not change at all, but the eyes that were smiling at the reporter slowly shifted to the man who was forced to squeeze into a pile next to her: "Although we are going through divorce now, we are still friends, Jiang Anyway, you can't be so unwelcome to me, can you?"
