It had been a week since the acid incident, and the woman's last hysterical scream seemed to linger in his ears. This week, Jiang Zhihan was not in high spirits. Although he was glad that he had helped Shi Lin's family solve a big problem, and although he hated that woman, her beast-like roar at the end kept echoing in Jiang Zhihan's ears, making him very uncomfortable.
When he returned from the library, he was stopped by a group of old ladies at the entrance of the apartment building. He recognized the person in the lead. It was Granny Sun from the opposite door. Jiang Zhihan greeted her politely. Granny Sun said,""Zhihan, I've watched you grow up and know that you're an honest and good child. I heard that you and Manager Shi's family are very close. It's all thanks to you that day that the sulfuric acid didn't splash on Manager Shi.”Jiang Zhihan knew what she wanted to say and said lightly,""She was subdued by the police at the police station. It has nothing to do with my age.”"No matter what, she was just muddle-headed for a moment," said Grandma Sun. The poor man in the family only knew how to drink, and her daughter was sick. If she really went to jail, this family would be ruined. Pitiful, pitiful, I beg Manager Shi to be merciful.”Jiang Zhihan was very angry." This matter, don't say that I don't have the final say. Factory Manager Shi doesn't have the final say either. In the end, the court will decide however they want." If you have anything to say, you can say it in court.”"Aren't the officials protecting each other in the court?”"I wonder if you would want your son to be acquitted if acid was spilled on him?" Jiang Zhihan said angrily.”"How can a child talk like that?" the old ladies argued.”Jiang Zhihan's face darkened. He said loudly," Tell me honestly. Zhang Jingjing is not enthusiastic about her work. When she was given a salary increase, she relied on her unreasonable behavior. Should she be given a salary increase? If Manager Shi is like other leaders, afraid that she will cause trouble and gave the quota to her, would Manager Shi suffer a loss? He didn't. The ones who lost were the sons and daughters in your family who worked hard and honestly, but wouldn't shamelessly cause trouble. What did Manager Shi do wrong? He protected the interests of the workers who worked hard. He was the only factory cadre who lived in this dormitory area. Was this his fault? Zhang Jingjing's family might be very pitiful, but it was not someone else who destroyed her. It was her. From then on. It's already. Destroyed. Tune. From then on. It's already. Yes." After Jiang Zhihan finished speaking, his anger and discomfort seemed to have been vented. Instead, he felt even calmer.
When he got home, his mother was already cooking. "I heard you arguing with the old ladies downstairs," Li Rongrong said. She heard that Zhang Jingjing's husband brought their child to the factory manager's office to kneel down. Don't say it, there are still many people who came to tell me. For a moment, Zhang Jingjing seemed to have become the victim.”Jiang Zhihan replied,"It's fine as long as we have a clear conscience. Some people can't tell right from wrong. It's not up to us.”
After dinner, Li Rongrong said that an old classmate of yours came to look for you today. We weren't around, so he left a note for me. It was given to me by Grandma Sun next door.
The next night, after dinner, Jiang Zhihan took the note to his elementary school classmate Chen Yimeng's house. Chen Yimeng was in the same class as Jiang Zhihan in elementary school and middle school, and they had a good relationship. Later, when they were in different classes in high school, they slowly made new friends and circles, and they didn't interact much. Chen Yimeng's mother was a nurse, and his father was a soldier. He seemed to be the commander of the artillery corps and was not at home all year round. Jiang Zhihan often visited his house for a period of time and had only seen his father two or three times. The deepest impression he had was that his voice was like thunder and his voice was extremely loud. This was probably an occupational hazard.
Jiang Zhihan didn't know why this sudden invitation came, so he couldn't be bothered to think about it. He knocked on the door and entered the house. He saw a sturdy middle-aged man sitting on the sofa in the living room. Although Jiang Zhihan didn't really remember what Chen Yimeng's father looked like, he was sure that he was, so he went up to greet him. Chen Yimeng's father wasn't particularly tall. He was only average in height, but he was very strong. He sat on the sofa with a straight waist and indeed had the air of a soldier.
Regiment Commander Chen had the straightforwardness of a soldier and went straight to the point."I've retired and transferred to another place. I'm temporarily at the Light Industry Bureau. Last week, the bureau had formed an investigation team to investigate the implementation of the rating and salary increase at the printing factory, as well as some of the evil incidents that followed. We went to the police station and Manager Shi to understand the situation. They mentioned you, and I thought your name sounded familiar. Later, I came back and asked Yimeng before I found out that you were his good friend. This young man is not bad. Not only can he be brave, but he can also remain calm in the face of danger. It's a pity that he didn't go to our army to train. " As for Yimeng, the atmosphere in Grade One is not good. The form teacher is too young. This time, I came back to think of a way to change him to another class, which is your current class. I think you're very good. You used to be good friends. After school starts, you have to take care of each other and help each other.”
Of course, Jiang Zhihan agreed.
"I received a call a few minutes before you came. I need to go out for a while. Yimeng's mother is on duty today. You two can play at home. "
Jiang Zhihan quickly stood up and said goodbye.
Commander Chen walked to the door and turned around to ask,""Are you very familiar with Manager Shi's family?"
"His daughter is my godsister," Jiang Zhihan replied.”
Commander Chen pondered for a moment." There are some things that can't be said during an inspection. There are rules." I see that Factory Manager Shi is determined to reform. This is worth encouraging. I have put forward my own opinions to the higher-ups. Factory Manager Shi should give him some pressure.”
Jiang Zhihan nodded, indicating that he understood.
Commander Chen smiled." Not bad, young man. You're very calm at such a young age."”He closed the door and left.
The remaining two were friends from elementary school. They hadn't seen each other for a while and didn't know what to say when they met again. Chen Yimeng took out a can of local cola and handed it to Jiang Zhihan. After sitting for a while, Jiang Zhihan noticed that Chen Yimeng had a lot on his mind, so he asked,
"What trouble?"
Chen Yimeng hesitated.
"We've been friends for so many years. If you have something to say, say it. If you can help, if you can't, you don't know me. I won't spread it around.”
"It's mainly because I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm really embarrassed to say this the moment I open my mouth."”
Jiang Zhihan looked at him and waited patiently.
Finally, Chen Yimeng said,"Can you lend me 200 yuan?"”
Jiang Zhihan was a little surprised. However, it was not impossible to think of a way. You have to tell me what to do with it." For some reason, she thought of the fights in the factory over 18 yuan.
Chen Yimeng stammered.
Finally, he mustered his courage and said,""My girlfriend wants an abortion. She said she wants 1000 yuan. I have 800, but I'm short of 200.”
Over the past few days, Jiang Zhihan had gotten used to talking to adults like an adult because he realized that there were many things that he knew that they didn't. They had no idea what he had come into contact with. However, the topic of abortion was not something that Jiang Zhihan, who was not even 17 years old, knew about. His mouth was wide open, and he did not know how to react.
After two minutes, Jiang Zhihan asked,""You, did that with her?"
Chen Yimeng nodded, a little embarrassed."Don't ever let my dad know about this.”
After another two minutes, Jiang Zhihan sighed and said,""Kao, you're so f * cking awesome.”
With this sigh, the two of them seemed to have truly found their friendship and closeness from back then. They could not help but smile at each other.
"Are you sure she's pregnant?" Jiang Zhihan asked.”
"She said that she hasn't done that for a month, so it should be true."”
"She wouldn't lie to you, would she?" Jiang Zhihan asked.”
Chen Yimeng said,"For money?" I don't think so."
" I don't have 200 yuan," Jiang Zhihan muttered." You know my family's situation. I don't even have 200 yuan a year as pocket money."”
Chen Yimeng said," It doesn't matter. I'll find someone else to think of a way. I'll put them together. 200 yuan shouldn't be a big problem." Apart from money, I'm also worried that something might go wrong.”
Jiang Zhihan said,"Don't be busy. I'll help you think about this matter. If it was true, just taking money was not a problem. I heard that the hospital doesn't allow people to do it casually. If you go to a random place without a license, what if something happens? You can't escape the connection. If it wasn't true, he couldn't be cheated of his money.”
"Alright, alright," Chen Yimeng said happily. He was a guy with a rough personality. It was best if he did not use his own thoughts. At the end, he added,"My dad said that you're very powerful. I trust you."
Jiang Zhihan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Sitting in Chen Yimeng's house, Jiang Zhihan pondered for a long time and finally had some ideas. He gave Chen Yimeng some instructions and left his house.
Early the next morning, Jiang Zhihan went to find Old Master Yang and chatted with him for a long time. Then, he called Chen Yimeng and gave him some instructions.
At 9:30 in the morning, Chen Yimeng waited for his girlfriend, Qu Yingmei, at his door. Qu Yingmei was quite tall and wore a short skirt that very few people in Zhong Province wore. The skirt was a few fingers above the knees. Although it wasn't as revealing as the popular miniskirt, it was still considered sexy at this time. She was wearing two-inch high heels, lipstick, and colored her nails. In fact, Qu Yingmei was only ten months older than Jiang Zhihan, and the age difference between her and Chen Yimeng was even smaller. However, her outfit made her look more mature than the two of them by more than three years. Qu Yingmei graduated from junior high school and went to an accounting technical school. This year was already her second year.
Chen Yimeng said," I have 800 yuan in my hands now. A friend promised to help me gather 200 yuan and asked me to get it this morning."”Qu Yingmei didn't doubt it and readily agreed. Qu Yingmei understood Chen Yimeng's personality. He had inherited his father's straightforwardness, but he did not inherit his father's shrewdness. He had a rough personality and did not have many thoughts. This was actually one of the reasons why Qu Yingmei chose to be with him in the first place. Another reason was that Chen Yimeng was tall and handsome. Many people said that he resembled a singer surnamed Guo in Hong Kong.
The two of them took the bus and arrived at the place Jiang Zhihan had designated. Qu Yingmei looked at the courtyard house and the surrounding plants and said to Chen Yimeng,"Your friend's family lives here? They are indeed rich." The two of them knocked on the door, but no one answered. He pushed it lightly, but it was not closed. Chen Yimeng walked in first, followed by Qu Yingmei. They passed through the courtyard and arrived at the main house. The door was ajar again. "Is anyone there?" they asked softly.”An old man appeared behind the screen. His hair was white, but his face looked quite young. Chen Yimeng remembered Jiang Zhihan's words and did not speak. The old man sized Qu Yingmei up and said,"Your Ethereal Fire looks very heavy.”Qu Yingmei was a girl who grew up on the streets. She wanted to blurt out, why should she let you take her pulse? However, there was a kind of majesty in the old man's calmness. In addition, she had indeed felt that the Ethereal Fire was exuberant these few days, so she could not help but reach out her hand. The old man took her pulse and closed his eyes for about a minute. Then he said," You need to cool down. Just soak it in the simplest white chrysanthemum water and drink it.”Without waiting for her to agree, the old man said,"You're here to look for Zhihan, right? He's in the side room. I'll go get him."”With that, he pushed open the door and left. He went to the side room and spoke to Jiang Zhihan.
After a while, Jiang Zhihan pushed open the door and invited the two to sit down. He sized Qu Yingmei up and thought to himself, I didn't expect Chen Yimeng to like mature women. It looked like Chen Yimeng wouldn't be able to subdue this girl.”
Qu Yingmei smiled and said,"Your house is very stylish."”
Jiang Zhihan smiled." I live in a unit. It has two bedrooms and a living room. This is my friend's grandfather's house.”
"Why did you call us here?" Chen Yimeng asked in surprise.”
Jiang Zhihan said," I'm borrowing money. I promised to sweep the yard for the old man for a year. I'll come once a week. He'll pay me 200 yuan in one go."”As he spoke, he took out a stack of 10 yuan and handed it to Chen Yimeng.
Hearing this, Chen Yimeng was very embarrassed and said,""I'd better borrow it from someone else."
Qu Yingmei watched from the side and said with a smile,"This is what you call an iron brother. Yimeng, why haven't I seen you before?”
Jiang Zhihan looked at Qu Yingmei and said,"Money is just a worldly possession. If a good friend wanted to borrow money, he had to give it to her. But before I give you the 1000 yuan, can I ask you a question?”
Qu Yingmei could already feel that Jiang Zhihan was unusual. Usually, when boys his age saw her, the most common reaction was to be embarrassed and steal a few glances at her. As for Jiang Zhihan, he looked straight at her the moment he entered the room. His expression was very calm and indifferent. Qu Yingmei was quite proud of her looks. Coupled with her sexy dressing, she was even more outstanding in this era. The number of heads turned when she walked on the street was at least 95% if not 100.
Qu Yingmei deliberately blinked and made a seductive expression."Go ahead."
"What are you going to do with this 1000 yuan?”
Qu Yingmei lowered her eyes and made a shy expression. Then, she widened her eyes and looked at Jiang Zhihan with watery eyes. She said slowly,"Didn't Yimeng tell you? I accidentally got pregnant."
Jiang Zhihan was very uncomfortable by her seductive expression. After all, he was still young and had never been close to a girl. This was the first time he had a stunner so close to him. There was also a perfume smell that wafted into his nose. His little heart could not help but beat twice. He collected his thoughts and said calmly,"But you're not pregnant."
Qu Yingmei laughed. Her laughter was as clear as a wind chime."You know this?"
Jiang Zhihan was unmoved." My friend's grandfather is a famous Chinese doctor. He has absolute confidence in this.”Old Master Yang wasn't a famous Chinese medicine doctor, but he was still confident that he could tell that she was pregnant by taking her pulse.
Qu Yingmei looked at him and paused."Did you guys set this up for me to fall into your trap?”
Jiang Zhihan said," There's no design. I just want to help you solve your problem." It was very dangerous to have an abortion outside the bogus clinic. It could endanger one's life. I even helped contact a very good friend's mother today. She's the head nurse of the gynecology department. In most hospitals nowadays, one needs to have a parent's signature before they can get an abortion. She promised to give me a backdoor. The time had already been set. "We can go now and get the modern doctor to check it again. If there really is, we might be able to do the surgery immediately.”
Qu Yingmei stared at him, and Jiang Zhihan looked back at her sincerely.
Qu Yingmei put away her sexy posture and thought for a moment before saying,"Alright, I'm not pregnant."
She turned her head and looked at Chen Yimeng affectionately."I'm not trying to scam you of your money. It's just that a very good friend's brother runs a billiard room. He got into a fight and injured someone, so he went around collecting money to get past this.”
"Why don't you tell the truth?" Chen Yimeng asked.”
Qu Yingmei glared at him." I know you. If you were to tell me the truth, it would be at most if you could cough out 200 yuan for me."”
She sighed." Alright, I, Qu Yingmei, have also gained a reputation for faking my pregnancy to swindle money."”He got up and was about to leave.
Chen Yimeng hesitated for a moment before saying,"Take it."
Qu Yingmei turned to look at him for two seconds before she turned to look at Jiang Zhihan. Jiang Zhihan did not speak.
Qu Yingmei took the money and looked at Jiang Zhihan.""Aren't you going to persuade your brother?"
Jiang Zhihan replied,"I trust him, and he trusts you." What do I have to say?"
Qu Yingmei laughed out loud, looking very happy. She walked over and hugged Chen Yimeng's arm, saying,""This brother of yours is quite interesting. I'll treat you to lunch today. Thank you for borrowing money.”
Jiang Zhihan said,"I won't go. I still have something to do."”
Qu Yingmei looked at Chen Yimeng. Chen Yimeng said,"Brother, do me a favor and have lunch together. It won't take long.”
Jiang Zhihan sighed in his heart. Brother, you're really being controlled.
Qu Yingmei stuck close to Chen Yimeng and said in the sweet voice of a Hong Kong drama,"Hubby, do you know what I like most about you? It's just that you're honest and don't have any bad intentions, unlike some of your friends who are not tall and have many thoughts. Three out of ten sentences are fake, and one word must be treated as two words.”Chen Yimeng looked at Jiang Zhihan awkwardly and used his eyes to signal Jiang Zhihan not to argue with her.
They found a small restaurant, sat down, and ordered beef noodles.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" Qu Yingmei asked Jiang Zhihan.”
Jiang Zhihan frowned.
Qu Yingmei said,"Why are you so slow?" "
Chen Yimeng put his palms together and bowed to Jiang Zhihan, meaning that he had to forgive him.
Jiang Zhihan rolled his eyes.
Qu Yingmei didn't let him go. Pure? Sexy? Gentle? Big sister type? "
"Quiet," Jiang Zhihan said.
How could Qu Yingmei admit defeat in a quarrel? She suddenly leaned over and said mysteriously,"Let me ask you a question, and you must answer honestly.”
Jiang Zhihan looked at her.
"Are you a virgin?"
Jiang Zhihan was defeated this time. A sexy and beautiful girl asking him this question from a distance of tens of centimeters was beyond his imagination. His face turned red.
" Hahaha, hahahaha," Qu Yingmei laughed impudently."If you blush when you ask this question, you must be a virgin. A virgin among virgins. Hahahahahaha." Qu Yingmei's voice was a little high-pitched. Coupled with her sexy beauty, the people at the tables next to her turned their heads to look. Jiang Zhihan's face turned even redder.
Chen Yimeng looked at Jiang Zhihan nervously, afraid that he would fall out with him. However, when he saw Jiang Zhihan's face getting redder and redder, he finally couldn't help but laugh strangely. These two heartless b * stards, Jiang Zhihan thought to himself. He was a little embarrassed, but he wasn't angry. Deep in his heart, he felt like having sex with a beautiful woman.
After dinner, Chen Yimeng went to the bathroom. Qu Yingmei walked over and sat on the stool next to Jiang Zhihan, saying,""You're too scheming, but you're still magnanimous. I'll allow our Yimeng Sect to make friends with you.”Jiang Zhihan thought to himself,'When I met Chen Yimeng when I was six years old, you were still nowhere to be found.' Qu Yingmei said,"No matter what, you paid 200 yuan. I still have to thank you."”Jiang Zhihan shook his head." I'm giving it to Yimeng. If you want to thank him, thank him. You don't have to thank me."”
Qu Yingmei suddenly leaned over to Jiang Zhihan and asked,"Have you kissed a girl before?"”
Jiang Zhihan thought that she was using the same trick again, so he said calmly,""No, I haven't."
Qu Yingmei leaned over and planted a kiss on his cheek.
Jiang Zhihan's brain exploded, and his face turned red again.
Qu Yingmei smiled and said,"Don't think too much. I'm just thanking you." I wanted to kiss you to express my gratitude, but since that's the case, I'll save your first kiss for your first love.”
Today, Jiang Zhihan had planned meticulously and had the upper hand in every aspect. However, he was constantly being played around by this woman and could not help but feel a little angry. Just as he was about to speak, Qu Yingmei said," There's a lip print on your face. Wipe it off quickly. Don't let Yimeng misunderstand."”
Jiang Zhihan awkwardly wiped his face.
At this moment, Chen Yimeng walked out and saw Jiang Zhihan's angry face and Qu Yingmei's smug look. His face darkened as he said to Qu Yingmei,""Don't go overboard."
Qu Yingmei leaned over like a little bird and said gently,""Hubby, I wouldn't dare. I was just joking. I've been deceived by you all this morning. I want to take revenge. It's Chuchu's birthday tonight. Can you accompany me?”
Jiang Zhihan spat in his heart and sighed. Who was lying to whom? In the blink of an eye, she had turned black into white. What an amazing vixen.
