Chapter 05
If there are too many coincidences, it is no longer a coincidence, it is a cover-up, and it is deception.
Wen Li himself felt that this series of "accidents" had a false and contrived taste.
How could it be such a coincidence?
However, it was such a coincidence.
Behind Chen Hezheng was a young man named Zhuo Yu, the one who disliked the general environment of four seasons and spring just now, with gaudy hair color and a row of broken diamond earrings on the ear bones.
Zhuo Yu leaned on the handrail of the stairs, glanced at the things on the ground, let out a chuckle, and said, "The props are well prepared, wearing clothes designed by A Zheng's friend, holding an album poster made by A Zheng, little girl,Do you like our A Zheng very much? After finding out about his movements, you came here to wait for him? Don’t be afraid, if you like it, just follow him, I will push his WeChat to you!"
Zhuo Yu and Chen Hezheng haven't been in contact for a long time, and they only got to know each other in the past few months. Naturally, they don't know that there is a story between Wen Li and Chen Hezheng, or even that these two people know each other.He bumped Chen Hezheng's shoulder and said with a smile, "A Zheng, where are your fans, do you want to sign an autograph or take a photo with him?"
The people who came with Chen Hezheng were all laughing, with a vicious feeling of superiority.
Chen Hezheng was expressionless, just staring at Wen Li. Half of the lights fell on his side, showing a straight nose and dark eyes, exuding a strong aggressive aura.
Under those gazes, Wen Li had no choice but to avoid, she bent down to pick up the dropped things.
Chen Hezheng suddenly took a few steps forward, Zhuo Yu was startled, and was about to reach out to stop him, but Chen Hezheng had already stopped, with the tip of his shoe just touching the poster and an individually wrapped lemon candy.
Wen Li caught sight of his movements from the corner of his eye, and his back stiffened for a moment, but he soon calmed down.
She picked up the things and put them away, stood up and looked at him.
"Chen Hezheng," she called his name, and explained in a very quiet tone, "I bought the clothes and bracelets casually when I was shopping, and the posters were given by the store. I didn't know you would come here to eat, and you didn't do it on purpose.An ambiguous little move, if I had known..."
"I knew I would come to this restaurant," Chen Hezheng interrupted her, "You would definitely avoid it, right?"
Listening to the conversation between the two, Zhuo Yu couldn't help raising his eyebrows—he didn't realize that these two knew each other!
I heard that the young master of the Chen family is not easy to get close to, his thoughts are deep and difficult to guess, and he can't figure it out. Zhuo Yu sighed and thought, he has seen it today, not only has it, but also accurately stepped on thunder!
He shouldn't have been so mean just now, messing around in the middle!
Chen Hezheng's attitude could be regarded as aggressive, Wen Li couldn't resist, and murmured: "I..."
"Come to eat at your favorite restaurant with Mr. Meng, what is this? A date?" Chen Hezheng interrupted her again, mockingly said, "It seems that I disturbed the interest of you two, and I should apologize to Mr. Meng."
Meng Yunwen's face turned green, and he waved his hands again and again, saying, "Mr. Chen, please don't get me wrong. Ms. Wen and I just met by chance. We didn't have any personal acquaintances, really nothing!"
Chen Hezheng smiled, with an ambiguous tone: "It seems that I misunderstood again. I thought Mr. Meng and Ms. Wen got very close in the past two years."
Zhuo Yu became more and more confused as he listened to the sidelines——Chen Hezheng's tone and attitude, why did he seem to be jealous?
Well done, where is he so jealous?And who made him so sour?
Before Zhuo Yu turned the corner, Wen Li felt a chill in his heart——
Chen Hezheng thought she came with Meng Yunwen, and he thought she continued to get involved with Meng Yunwen knowing that Meng Yunwen had a wife and a pair of daughters!
If what Meng Yunwen said just now was true, and Chen Hezheng not only knew that she had been entangled by the Meng couple, but also came forward to help her out, then by asking him now, he was deliberately poking her sore spot.
The more Meng Yunwen hurried up to explain and put aside the relationship, the more embarrassing Wen Li's situation became.
First, Aunt Zhang said that the death of her parents was bad luck, then Meng Yunwen made trouble for her, and now even Chen Hezheng wanted to stab her a few words.It seemed that all the unlucky things had collided and twisted into a knife, a sword, cutting apart the peace and softness of her body inch by inch, exposing the fragile wound that would not heal underneath.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze, inexplicably oppressive.
Zhuo Yu put away that laughing expression, and quietly pulled down Chen Hezheng's clothes, trying to persuade him that it's almost over, and don't make too much trouble.
Just now, Wen Li was only focused on picking up the poster, and missed the individually wrapped lemon candy. At this moment, the candy was lying on the tip of Chen Hezheng's shoe, like a poor little discarded.
Looking at the candy, Wen Li called his name again: "Chen Hezheng, I remember you used to hate this cynical way of speaking the most, has it changed now?"
Chen Hezheng's hand hanging by his side suddenly clenched into a fist.
Wen Li didn't look up or look at him, just stared at the discarded candy, and continued: "I have no date or personal relationship with Mr. Meng. There is a bit of grievance. A year ago, Mr. Meng had a wifeUnder the premise of being in the same room, she stalked me unilaterally, to the point that Mrs. Meng blocked the door and threw a big temper tantrum, and many people saw it as a joke and used it as a talking point."
Meng Yunwen could only laugh and said awkwardly, "It's all, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."
"Misunderstood?" Wen Li smiled, and she looked up at this moment, looking beyond the lightly scented air and the radiant light of the courtyard lamp, into Chen Hezheng's dark eyes, and asked him, "Chen Hezheng, what are these?"Have you heard of 'misunderstanding'? I've always been curious. At that time, Mrs. Meng came aggressively and made it clear that she wanted to peel off a layer of skin from me. Why did she suddenly stop? Who was so kind and helped me?"
Two people who know everything about each other once loved so deeply, it is simply too easy to make each other feel hurt.
A look of embarrassment and annoyance flashed across Chen Hezheng's eyes.
It was Wen Li who proposed the breakup at the beginning, and she abandoned him, bluntly saying that she no longer needed him.
However, when he knew that she was in trouble, he still couldn't help but help her, just like a dog that doesn't please its master but wants to wag its tail!
This metaphor made Chen Hezheng angry from embarrassment, and his heart seemed to be on fire.At the same time, he also found that even though five years had passed, he still couldn't face Wen Li calmly. When he saw her and Ye Qingshi together, it was like this, and it was like this again today.
Oh, by the way, and Ye Qingshi.
There are so many people around her!
The anger suppressed in his heart became more and more intense, and the hand that was clenched into a fist was clenched extremely tightly. Chen Hezheng blurted out: "Mr. Meng, back then I was impulsive and spoiled your good deed. I'm sorry."
Wen Li's drooping eyelashes trembled violently - it really was him.
Even though they broke up, even if she said she didn't want him, he still couldn't help but watch her being bullied by others.
Chen Hezheng...
Soft-spoken guy.
He was never not good enough, but very good.
Meng Yunwen was sweating all over his face, how could he dare to accept this insincere apology, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, don't say such things, I offended Ms. Wen, it was me..."
"If you still want to chase now, go for it." Chen Hezheng's eyes were cold, "If you can catch up, I respect your ability!"
Just a few words made him grit his teeth, as if he was afraid that others would not understand the hint here - just go after her and bully her, Chen Hezheng will never interfere with this girl's affairs again!
Although Meng Yunwen was bold, he was definitely not stupid. The more Chen Hezheng showed such an indifferent attitude, the more he understood that Wen Li was not to be provoked.
Who in the circle doesn't know that the young master of the Chen family is cold-hearted, and only someone who is on his heart can draw such a big anger.
After leaving those few words, Chen Hezheng turned around and left. His tall and thin figure disappeared at the end of the corridor like a newly forged sword.
Chen Hezheng walked quickly, and Zhuo Yu followed behind him, taking a step slower on purpose.
He turned around and turned his head, first glanced at Wen Li, with an interested smile and scrutiny in his eyes, then he looked at Meng Yunwen again, with a warning element in his expression.
Zhuo Yu pointed his index finger at the bridge of Meng Yunwen's nose, and said silently with his mouth——
"Don't mess around."
That little girl is not something you can chase after.
Meng Yunwen was terrified, so panicked that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He didn't dare to go to Chen Hezheng's side, so he could only wipe the cold on his forehead and apologize to Wen Li, saying that it was an unintentional mistake before, Miss Wen, please don'tTake it to heart.
Seeing that Wen Li hadn't come back, Fu Ranning came out to look for her, just in time to see Meng Yunwen wrapped around Wen Li.
Fu Ranning knew all the immoral things Meng had done. She walked over quickly, took Wen Li's arm and hid her behind her. She glared at Meng Yunwen aggressively and warned him to stay away from Wen Li.
"Ning Ning," Wen Li held Fu Ranning's wrist with his backhand, and squeezed it lightly, "Don't pay attention to him, let's go."
The corridors were covered with crimson carpets, which made a rustling sound when they stepped on them. Wen Li and Fu Ranning didn't take a few steps, but Meng Yunwen chased after her, with a three-foot-thick skin, "Miss Wen, please do it!"Alright, let's say a few nice words in front of Mr. Chen! I have several items on my hand, all pointing at..."
Wen Li pulled Fu Ranning to continue walking towards the box, and said as he walked, "My surname is Wen, not Chen. You have found the wrong person."
It wasn't until he walked out of Meng Yunwen's line of sight and there were no idlers around that Fu Ranning looked at Wen Li belatedly, and asked her, "The Mr. Chen he just mentioned is... which Mr. Chen?"
Wen Li's eyelashes were long and dense, and trembling slightly, he said in a low voice: "Back then Mrs. Liang told me to punish me and make me suffer. It was Chen Hezheng who helped me. I thought it was Ye Qingshi. If I hadn't met here at the same timeChen Hezheng and Meng Yunwen, I may never know, I owe Chen Hezheng another favor after breaking up."
This series of cause and effect is really bloody. Fu Ranning blinked, and caught a strange point in the huge amount of information: "You mean, Chen Hezheng also came to Sisi Tongchun for dinner? You just metnoodle?"
Wen Li sighed softly: "Yes."
"The restaurants that eat Hangbang cuisine are everywhere, and Four Seasons and Spring are not so popular." Fu Ranning was cautious, "Could it be——Aiwujiwu?"
Because you like it, he likes it.
Not only does he remember what you like, he also—
Wen Li's heartbeat accelerated for a moment, and too many complicated emotions blended together to create a sour and slightly sweet texture, just like the discarded lemon candy.
Thinking of that lemon candy, Wen Li's feverish head suddenly calmed down.
She was the one who said to break up at the beginning, and she chose to give up first, so what right does she have to break up now.
Chen Hezheng already has a better life, she can't be too selfish.
At this point, the slightly sweet texture is gone, leaving only the boundless emptiness.
Putting aside those messy thoughts, Wen Li reached out and pushed open the door of the box.
The air conditioner was turned on inside, and the temperature was cool. Aunt Zhang was sitting facing the door. When she saw Wen Li, the smile on her face froze.
Mother Fu didn't know what happened, so she asked Wen Li to sit down and drink some sweet fruit soup. The waiter just brought it up, it was warm and suitable for eating.It is best to drink this in summer to clear the lungs and moisten dryness.
The sweet soup is served in a stew pot made of white porcelain. The soup is clear. The warm carp filled a small bowl and stirred it twice with a small spoon.
Aunt Zhang was probably afraid that Wen Li would hold grudges, so she took the initiative to talk to her, and said with a smile, "Eating more fruits is good for your health. Carp is so beautiful, with fair and tender skin. You must love to eat fruits, right?"
Wen Li also laughed, and said: "When Aunt Zhang was on a video call with someone just now, she said that it was unlucky for both of my parents to die, and she didn't want to eat the same dish as me. In this case, you should order another dessert, and I will eat it with you.Eating something stewed in the same stew pot, what if it brings you bad luck?"
The voice fell, and the box was instantly quiet.
Fu's mother and Fu Ranning didn't know what happened, they looked at each other in blank dismay.
Auntie Zhang stood up with her handbag in her hand, talked about some family matters, let's meet again another day, and left in a hurry, so fast that her left foot almost tripped over her right.
Wen Li drank the soup quietly, without looking at other people's reactions, but there was a belief in his heart that became more and more firm——
She was Chen Hezheng's carefully guarded treasure, and she should not be bullied by anyone.
