President's Scandalous Wife 126 at Haitian City Tian Tian Book Bar

  On a cloudy day in G city, it's very comfortable in summer. The children's playground is particularly quiet today, and after searching the whole garden, there is only one child jumping around, with a woman chasing after him, laughing all the way with her eyes curved.

  She has never dared to let her son go to the amusement park, because children are prone to excitement when there are many small friends, and her son is not as healthy as other children. Excessive excitement and agitation are always bad.

  The amusement park was blocked off today, so I don't have to worry about the kids running off or being obstructed from view by crowds.

  For years, carefully taking care of her son has become a habit. She found herself to be the most useless mother, but if Xiaobao's heart surgery is successful this time, she vowed that she must let go of him like the mothers in books, and let him run wild and crazy in his own world.

  "Xiao Bao, want some water?"

  "Xiao Bao, take a rest and don't run too much. Mom will accompany you to ride the bumper cars?"

  "Little Treasure, let's not take that big airplane, it spins around the whole plane, too thrilling. Let's go play with the choo-choo train."

  It's useless, no matter what she says, Qiao Yu just won't listen to her, and seeing the amusement park has already made him forget everything.

  Qiao Yu's outfit is really fashionable, a short-sleeved sky blue cartoon T-shirt, a pair of casual pants, and a pair of thin leather shoes, wearing socks, Qiao Ran held his duck tongue hat in her hand, today is also a rare casual outfit, closely following her son.

  The management department of the amusement park is built like a fairy-tale ancient castle, colorful and with a control room on top, where monitors for each amusement project are placed.

  The Regulatory Department has glass windows on all four sides. At this time, the water bumper car is starting and heading towards the south side of the Regulatory Department.

  In front of the south-facing glass window, a telescope was set up at this time.

  Two men stood in front of the telescope.

  A man stands facing the window, a man with binoculars in hand, leaning forward to look out the window through the lens.

  The outline and smile of the woman and child are clear in the lens, he looks at the mother and son with a big mouth, should be laughing very loudly, the two open a children's rubber dinghy, the opposite boat is operated by staff.

  Two speedboats crashed into each other, splashing a large wave of water that landed on the mother and son's faces. They didn't care if the water was dirty or not, they just wiped it off their faces with a smile and continued to drive the speedboat to crash into the opposite boat.

  Even the staff working opposite seemed moved by them, as if he had heard their laughter.

  Heavenly attire seeks woman. The hand grasping the camera lens is clenched tightly, his breathing heavy and labored.

  These breathing sounds fell into Pei Jin Cheng's ears, he subconsciously retreated a bit, walked to the north-facing window, took out a cigarette, but didn't light it, just held it in his hand, gently rubbing the cigarette.

  Everyone has their own secrets, and he is trying to pry into Lin Zhiyuan's secrets, but that doesn't mean he wants to intrude on Lin Zhiyuan's private matters.

  Some worries can be guessed, but they cannot be guessed in front of others. This feeling of being spied on will definitely make people very uncomfortable.

  And he doesn't want Lin Zhiyuan to feel uncomfortable now.

  Pei Jin Cheng knew Lin Zhi Yuan's abilities, from the moment he received that phone call last night telling him there would be no trouble at the seaside, he knew Lin Zhi Yuan had boarded the right ship.

  There will always be some ambiguous relationship between the military and politics.

  Lin Zhiyuan traveled among them with ease and leisure.

  The people of the Pei family, although they had a dignified appearance on the surface, were actually very arrogant inside. Even when he just woke up, he still had that arrogance. The passing of Third Grandfather foretold that there was no eternal ruler in this world. This thing called Jiangshan, if you don't grasp it well, someone will come to overthrow and replace you.

  People like Lin Zhiyuan may not be able to control it, but as a community of interests, it must be possible.

  The land by the sea was immediately available, indicating that future cooperation had been established. In fact, for him and Lin Zhiyuan, once this cooperative relationship was reached, they were each other's sharpest sword in hand.

  Sharp objects have their advantages, but beware of self-inflicted wounds. The way to hold them must be correct, otherwise it will lead to self-injury.

  Qiao Ran accompanied Qiao Yu to play this project, and when they came down from the kayak, Qiao Yu was very happy today, so she was naturally happy too. However, this happiness made her tense, and a thread of inexplicable tension rose up, as if there were eyes all around her, and those eyes had some light that seemed to cut her like a knife.

  She wanted to turn around and hide, but she couldn't hide no matter what.

  She reached out and took his small hand in hers, feeling a warmth in her heart. This was her son.

  He pulled his son ashore, afraid that he would get tired, so he picked him up and asked, "Little treasure, what do you want to play next? There's the merry-go-round and the little airplane."

  "I don't want to play the merry-go-round, that's for little girls. I don't want the small airplane either, it's not fun. I want to play with the big airplane." Qiao Yu played with Qiao Ran's braided hair bun, kissing her face, in opposition and also in entreaty.

  Qiao stopped and put Qiao Yu on the ground, then squatted down herself, grasping his shoulders with both hands, patiently advising him as if he were a little adult, "After Xiaobao's surgery is done, Mom will take you to ride a big plane, okay?"

  Qiao Yu's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, staring at Qiao Ran for a long time, making Qiao Ran feel uneasy. He then asked in confusion, "Mommy, am I going to die? Is that why I can't take the big airplane?"

  "Xiao Bao!" Qiao Ran was caught off guard by Qiao Yu's question and shouted this out, her eyes suddenly turning red.

  "Mommy, is it like on TV, I'm going to die, so you brought me to the amusement park to fulfill my wish? Mommy, my wish is to be with you forever."

  Qiao Rang suddenly pulled the baby into her arms, letting his face rest on her shoulder, not allowing him to see that her tears had already overflowed. "Little Treasure, everyone gets sick and takes medicine, didn't Mommy also stay in the hospital? Don't your kindergarten friends get sick too? But they take good medicine, get injections and get better, right? Last time Pong Pong had a tonsillectomy, wasn't he fine after the surgery? Little Treasure, how can you talk like this? Little Treasure, don't say such things, okay? Mommy will be sad."

  Qiao Yu patted Qiao Ran's back, feeling his mother's sorrow, and his eyes also turned red involuntarily. However, he still comforted her in a somewhat masculine tone, "Mommy, I won't talk nonsense anymore, I won't take the big plane, let's go ride the merry-go-round instead? Don't cry, okay, okay."

  Lin Zhiyuan straightened up, raised his hand to press his forehead, took a deep breath, turned around and reached the door, twisting the lock of the regulatory department.

  There were only two people in the control room today, and neither of them was on duty.

  Because it's too quiet, even a slight movement can be noticed.

  Pei Jin Cheng walked over and grabbed Lin Zhi Yuan's hand that was twisting the door lock.

  Lin Zhiyuan was already displeased, "Get out of the way!"

  Pei Jin Cheng still maintained his politeness, "Don't forget that you initially agreed with me, and absolutely will not go find them."

  Lin Zhiyuan sneered and said, "Why can't I go find them? What's their relationship with me, can't you see that?"

  Pei Jin Cheng nodded, "I can't see it, but I can guess. Even so, you can't go. I've already made this clear before. Her family is gone, and she's the only one left. Who else does she need to hide from? Isn't she hiding from you?"

  Lin Zhiyuan has already shown some signs of loosening up, Pei Jincheng continued, "If it weren't for Xiaobao's surgery, I wouldn't say anything. Whatever grudges you have between each other, I won't intervene. But with Xiaobao's surgery imminent, do you want to force her to leave again with her son? What if something happens to Xiaobao, who will take responsibility, me, you, or her?"

  Lin Zhiyuan closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, it was as if nothing had happened. "I'm not going over there, I just want to stand far away and take a look." He wanted to go over and listen to what the mother and son were saying, which would make her like that. He remembered the last time she saw him, the hatred in her eyes was so strong that it could have taken him to the 18th level of hell. He told her that all her relatives had died, and she could only rely on him, but she didn't shed a single tear. This woman was a wolf in sheep's clothing, and only he knew how cruel her heart was. Everyone would be deceived by her weak appearance.

  But there's no one else in this amusement park, so why is she crying? Her son? He's had heart disease for years, if she was going to cry about it, she would have cried long ago.

  Pei Jin Cheng shook his head, "After it's all over, are you going to say again that we should go further? Are you just asking out of politeness?"

  Lin Zhiyuan was taken aback and stuttered, "You!" This voice was filled with anger.

  While Pei Jincheng didn't care about the displeasure on Lin Zhiyuan's face, his posture was as calm as ever. "I'm telling the truth, we're all clear-headed people, Brother Lin should understand. I'm not good at flattering words, but we need to clearly discuss the pros and cons that are on the table. If something happens to Little Treasure, I'll be sad for a while, but what about you? What about Little Treasure's mother? Can she bear it? Her own son has congenital heart disease, these past few years have been very difficult for her. Now that Little Treasure can have surgery, this is a rare opportunity for her to see hope. If something happens to Little Treasure now and ruins everything, do you think she'll collapse? That's all I need to say..." Pei Jincheng unlocked the door. "Brother Lin, please go ahead."

  Lin Zhiyuan gave Pei Jin Cheng a glance, his eyes gleaming with intensity, "Just how thoroughly have you investigated me?"

  Pei Jin Cheng stood in front of Lin Zhiyuan, without a hint of flattery on his face. He said solemnly, "It's not very clear, but I know your father is the Prime Minister, and just based on this point, I know you're a person with boundless prospects. I don't casually make friends with useless people, so...". He raised his hand to point at the window in the south direction, "The information about the mother and son, I'm giving it to Big Brother Lin as a favor, isn't this a great gift?"

  Pei Jin Cheng's lies were seamless, Lin Zhi Yuan had the Premier behind him, he knew.

  However, Qiao Ran was not the gift he wanted to curry favor with Lin Zhiyuan, but to grasp a weakness of Lin Zhiyuan's, and it has been proven that this is indeed a weakness. Moreover, it is not just one weakness, but also comes with a son, which makes the value of the rib incomparable.

  But saying it's a gift at this time is reasonable, "I'm a businessman, I won't find someone to be a partner for no reason, just like Lin Ge will not find a third-rate noble family to be a partner, right? You must have also roughly understood the bottom line of our Pei family. There's nothing to hide, knowing each other is necessary for a pleasant cooperation, isn't it?"

  "This gift is indeed very big." Lin Zhiyuan's eyes were deep and black, he gazed at the pair of eyes opposite him, the pupils of the person opposite seemed to be smiling and elegant, but how deep was that person's thoughts? The things behind his back, how many people wanted to investigate but couldn't find out, how did this Pei Jincheng know about it? A faint cold arc flashed at the corner of his lips, his voice was also low and icy, "But knowing too much often doesn't end well."

  "So, Brother Lin must quickly grasp my handle, and the art of mutual restraint is our common driving force."

  "Haha~" Lin Zhiyuan suddenly laughed, at this time the icy demeanor dissipated, and even the corners of his eyes had a smile, "Pei Jincheng, indeed didn't misjudge you! What a wonderful mutual restraint technique."

  One morning, Qiao Ran accompanied Qiao Yu to play wholeheartedly and carefully until noon before packing up and getting on the car arranged by Pei Jin Cheng to return to the Pei residence.

  Pei Jin Cheng had lunch with Lin Zhi Yuan.

  Lin Zhiyuan was clearly not satisfied with this meeting arrangement, and Pei Jincheng only responded in a roundabout way, without making any accurate promises. He merely guaranteed that after Xiaobao escaped danger, he would arrange for Lin Zhiyuan to meet Qiaoran once, but the method had to be reconsidered and could not be too rash.

  Pei Jin Cheng didn't need to ask, he knew there must be a grudge between Lin Zhiyuan and Qiao Ran. He couldn't ask, indeed, as Lin Zhiyuan said, knowing too much often doesn't bring many benefits. Even if he wanted to know, he had to verify it through covert channels, absolutely not by asking Lin Zhiyuan.

  Lin Zhiyuan also didn't explain, he knew that paper couldn't wrap fire, but some things, no matter how outsiders investigated, it was impossible to investigate without any difference from the facts. He didn't like being dug into and understood thoroughly, this was his temperament, and he didn't want to change because of a woman who had already been dead for six years!

  Absolutely not!

  But he still had to see her, and this distant longing could only be ridiculed by heaven for his incompetence.

  She has her son with her.

  What about him?

  How could he let her be better off!

  After dinner, Pei Jin Cheng returned to their respective workplaces.

  Pei Jin Cheng walked into his office, unbuttoning his tie and throwing it away while taking out his phone to dial a number.

  The phone connected, and it was his familiar singing voice, with a hint of melancholy, "How far do migratory birds fly, also thinking of the south..."

  Before, I thought she was being pretentious with this kind of ringtone.

  Now he listened and found himself a bit pretentious, they say that when a woman marries, she follows her husband, whether it's a chicken or a dog. She is the daughter-in-law of the Pei family, if in the past, after marrying into the husband's family, she would take on the husband's surname. The Pei family is in the south, and she is in Haicheng, does she ever miss the south?

  But they are all alienating each other in order to get a divorce, and they are the most deformed couple in the world.

  I called her cell phone last night to talk to her about Lin Zhiyuan, after all, she was the one who signed this water park project, so she should know about the progress of these things.

  But she turned it off and didn't turn it on in the morning either.

  It was finally open, but it was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

  "Hello." The woman's voice was vague and hazy.

  He furrowed his brow, "What's going on?"

  "...go to sleep." A weak and dazed tone.

  "His voice couldn't help but rise a bit, 'What time is it? You've already punched in for this afternoon's work, and you're still sleeping?'"

  "Uh, didn't sleep last night, only fell asleep after 10 this morning." Shen Xuan's head was splitting with pain, she had stayed up all night to resist the urge to call him, and when she finally fell asleep in the morning, her brain felt like it was going to explode.

  At this time, they had all exhausted their strength to pick up the phone, just wanting to end it quickly and go back to sleep to clear up the fragments of their brain and reinstall the system.

  "Didn't sleep last night?" Instinctively asked, "Where did you go last night?"

  "I didn't go anywhere, I just hung up."

  "Beep beep beep..."

  The busy tone came over the phone, he was so angry that he almost slammed down the receiver. She had returned to Haicheng, but she hadn't slept all night? Where did she go to have fun for a whole night? Nightclubs also close around 2 o'clock, who did she go with? A strange feeling arose in his heart.

  He felt a lump in his throat, so he unbuttoned his collar and cuffs, rolled up his sleeves, put his palms on the desk, dialed the extension, and when Sunny picked up, he said, "Get me a cup of black coffee, no sugar."

  Bai Jincheng was a man with strong self-esteem, so after Shen Xuan hung up on him, he didn't call back. Although he had the urge to go through the phone and strangle the woman who hung up on him, he endured it and didn't want to lose face over this matter.

  It's almost time to get off work and there is still no call from Shen Xuan, he thought while signing documents, where did this woman go last night, she must have gone somewhere with someone.

  Get up, press the hands-free of the internal line again, and quickly press it off. With some tension, he clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and opened his long palm again. His index finger pressed the hands-free of the internal line once more. When Sunny picked up the phone, Pei Jin Cheng's face flashed with a momentary awkwardness and crimson, and he pursed his lips in embarrassment. However, his voice was calm and collected, "Sunny, arrange my trip to Haicheng immediately."

  This chapter is 5,000 words, anyway I'll try to update 15,000 today. If it's not enough, at least I'll update 12,000.
