CH 065 OLD IS SPICY

For Lin Manman, the existence of Sun Yun was like a nightmare. Before they dated, Sun Yun was considerate and sincere, but when they actually began dating, his true nature was exposed. She was not allowed to wear shorts and short sleeves, and she was not allowed to go out with other people, even girls, and if she even said hello to male classmates or friends on the way to classes he would become angry.

Sun Yun felt that after dating, Lin Manman was his property.

This annoyed Lin Manman very much, and she mentioned breaking up countless times, but Sun Yun continued to do as he liked as if he couldn’t hear her at all.

So Lin Manman could only avoid him.

Now standing in front of Han Lang’s hospital bed, Lin Manman looked at the marks on Han Lang’s face that hadn’t faded yet, and she was filled with guilt.

Mama Zhang brought her tea. Lin Manman took the teacup, and whispered, “Thank you, Auntie.”

Mama Zhang shook her head: “You’re welcome, Xiao Lang has been here for so long, but you are the first classmate who came to see him.”

Lin Manman lowered her eyes, the incident happened because of her, but she didn’t even have the courage to take responsibility?

“Auntie, Han Lang encountered this kind of thing…..because of me.” Lin Manman took a deep breath, feeling that no matter how angry Aunt Zhang would be, she had to bear the anger, which she should bear.

After telling the cause and effect, Lin Manman lowered his head, waiting for Mama Zhang to lose her temper.

But the expected scolding didn’t come, what was waiting was Mama Zhang’s gentle voice: “It’s not your fault, you didn’t know that he is such a person.”

“I have experience.” Mama Zhang said, “I know too.”

Before she got married, she and her husband had also dated out of love. Before they got married, her husband was also very considerate, and there was nothing wrong with him. No matter how busy he was at work, he would cook for her after coming home. But after they got married, he became another person, lazy, addicted to gambling, and violent. Even though she was already pregnant with a child at that time, she filed for divorce in court, but her husband wouldn’t agree to it.

After a few years of lawsuits and a few years of separation, the court would not hand down the judgment so long as her husband did not let go.

She was exhausted physically and mentally. After giving birth to her child, she had to go out to work in order to provide her child with a better future.

Fortunately, a fellow native from her hometown was a kind person who had been helping her all the time. It was also because of them she got the opportunity to work as a nanny in the Qin family.

Some men, before they get married, could always put on a very good pretense, so good that one couldn’t find any flaws. But after they get married, they believe that the woman couldn’t escape, so they show their true colors and reveal all kinds of ugly sides.

When Mama Zhang wanted to divorce, her father-in-law and mother-in-law persuaded her, her own parents also persuaded her, and even various relatives and friends came to persuade her to give uo on divorce.

Men, it was normal for them to have bad habits. After all, they had a child now, and when he got older and calmed down, everything would get better.

But Mama Zhang had already despaired of her husband.

He had no sense of responsibility, was selfish, and didn’t care about his wife, son, or family.

He cared more about his luck at today’s poker game, and more about how much money he could take from Mama Zhang’s hands.

This marriage was Mama Zhang’s nightmare. If there was any sweet part, it was the birth of Han Lang.

Mama Zhang once said to Shen Zhen: “I don’t regret marrying him, because I gave birth to Xiao Lang.”

Xiao Lang was a gift from heaven to her, the only shining spot that her failed marriage left her.

Lin Manman was suddenly given understanding, and her eyes became a little red. She choked up and said, “Auntie, I will come and take care of Han Lang with you in the future.”

“You still have to go to school.” Mama Zhang waved her hand, “Auntie will be very grateful if you could visit him when you are free.”

“En…..”

“Xiao Lang!”

“Han Lang!”

Han Lang, who was still in a daze when he opened his eyes, looked at his mother and Lin Manman who were guarding at his bedside, with a dazed expression: “Mom, Lin Manman, where is this?”

Mama Zhang wiped away her tears: “This is the hospital.”

Han Lang was taken aback: “I’m hospitalized?”

Lin Manman ran to the corridor and called the doctor to come in for an examination.

“It’s nothing serious.” The doctor said, “After two more days of observation, you can take him home to recuperate. During this time, pay attention to diet, and the state of excretion and urination.”

Han Lang who just woke up was flushed with embarrassment.

Mama Zhang kept saying thank you gratefully.

The doctor said gently: “It’s nothing, it’s our duty.”

“Han Lang, do you still remember what happened before you fell into a coma?” Lin Manman asked softly, fearing to stimulate Han Lang’s emotions.

Han Lang just woke up and was still a little confused. He sat on the bed and thought for a while before saying: “I came out of the library, I was going to go back to the dormitory to put away my things and go home, and then someone beat me on the back of the head. I just remember that I fell to the ground and someone continued to hit me, I don’t know the rest.”

He didn’t see anything, but Han Lang said: “I seem to have heard someone talking, but it’s not a familiar person.”

Lin Manman sat next to Han Lang, saying with a bitter tone: “It was Sun Yun’s hand.”

When Han Lang heard this, there was no expression on his face, he was not surprised. After all, although he was a loner, he had never offended anyone. If he had to say that he had offended anyone, it would only be Sun Yun.

“I’m the one who got you involved.” Lin Manman lowered her head, not daring to look at Han Lang’s expression.

Although Mama Zhang didn’t blame her, it didn’t mean that Han Lang would forgive her.

Han Lang smiled at Lin Manman: “Then you can’t give up on your part in the game project afterwards.”

Lin Manman was taken aback. Then she fell on the bed and began to cry.

At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open. Han Lang looked up and saw Shen Zhen stepping in from the door. Shen Zhen was wearing a set of casual clothes. The temperature gradually rose after the beginning of spring. If it was not a formal occasion, he didn’t even wear suits anymore.

This made Shen Zhen look younger, almost like a college student who had not yet entered society.

“You’re awake?” Shen Zhen walked towards Han Lang, “Is your body still hurting? I brought you some consolation.”

He carried fruit and milk powder.

Mama Zhang took these things from Shen Zhen’s hand, smiled and said to Han Lang: “Your Brother Shen has been busy with your affairs these days, and when you get well, you must thank him well.”

Han Lang looked at Shen Zhen.

He couldn’t look away.

“It’s good you’re awake.” Shen Zhen said, “You don’t have to think about anything else, it’s all handled by the police now, and I will definitely help you get justice.”

Only then did Han Lang come back to his senses, saying with a bit of difficulty: “Brother Shen…..I’ve troubled you.”

Shen Zhen: “I’m fine, but Mama Zhang hasn’t eaten well these days, and she hasn’t slept much either”

Mama Zhang seemed a little embarrassed, and quickly said: “I am your mother, this is what I should do.”

Han Lang held Mama Zhang’s hands. These hands were calloused but warm, and the corners of Han Lang’s eyes were moist: “Mom, I made you worry.”

Mama Zhang was even more flustered: “It’s nothing, it’s nothing.”

The ringtone rang, and Shen Zhen took out his mobile phone: “I’ll answer the call first.”

He walked into the safety passage of the hospital. There was no one here, and the name of Officer Li was on the caller ID.

“Officer Li, do you have any clues?” Shen Zhen asked.

Officer Li said in a low voice, “There are clues, but our deputy director told us not to investigate any further.”

Shen Zhen frowned: “What does this mean?”

Officer Li also seemed very angry: “Our deputy chief is Sun Changyang’s brother-in-law.”

Shen Zhen: “So that’s it.”

Officer Li sighed: “Mr. Shen, if you have connections on your side, you can have our chief speak out. But I am just a little policeman without any speaking power, and no one will listen to me.”

“You don’t need to worry about this.” Shen Zhen’s eyes became slightly cold, “Just continue to investigate, and leave everything else to me.”

Officer Li hesitated: “This…..”

Shen Zhen said, “Officer Li, I believe in you.”

“Ai.” Officer Li sighed, “I understand.”

Shen Zhen could feel that this Officer Li was a person with a sense of justice, and his edges hadn’t been blunted by society. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even make this call after his superiors already spoke, but would just do nothing, like Zhao Mingxian who just brushed him off with excuses.

Deputy chief?

Shen Zhen thought about it, what was the name of the captain of the anti-corruption brigade?

Shen Zhen called Qin Xing.

“Xiao Zhen?” The phone was connected quickly, and Qin Xing’s gentle and deep voice came from the other side of the line, “What, miss me?”

When Shen Zhen heard Qin Xing’s voice, his expression softened involuntarily, the corners of his mouth did not press down as before, and his tone became much calmer: “Do you have the number of the captain of the anti-corruption brigade?”

In terms of contacts, Qin Xing had a wider network of connections.

Qin Xing: “What’s wrong?”

Shen Zhen briefly explained the matter, and Qin Xing chuckled and said, “I was wondering why you were so busy recently? I’ll have Xiao Ma give you his contact information, you don’t need my help?”

Shen Zhen felt refreshed when he heard Qin Xing’s words: “No need, in fact, all the evidence has been found, I just need to pay a greeting.”

“Okay then.” Qin Xing’s tone seemed a bit regretful, “When will you be free?”

Shen Zhen said soothingly, “I’ll come to you tomorrow.”

Qin Xing’s tone instantly became serious: “Alright.”

Shen Zhen was amused: “Wait for me.”

Qin Xing’s tone was gentle and lingering, like honey on the tip of the tongue.

“I’ve always been waiting.”

When Shen Zhen hung up the phone, his skin was covered with goosebumps. When the older man became sappy, it was no less than a young man.

In Qin Xing’s office, Assistant Ma looked at Qin Xing’s smile after answering the phone, and forcibly stopped the urge to shiver. Now he wondered more and more whether he needed to cultivate his relationship with his wife again.

After getting off work, Assistant Ma went to the flower shop to buy a bouquet of roses.

Assistant Ma’s wife was a little confused when she received the flowers. Looking at Assistant Ma’s face, she asked strangely, “Did you do something that you need to apologize to me for?”

Assistant Ma: “…..”

The wife put the flowers in the vase on the table, and squinted at Assistant Ma: “You really didn’t do anything?”

Assistant Ma’s self-esteem was hit hard.

Afterwards, Assistant Ma, who bought the bouquet of flowers in vain, sat on the sofa in a daze. It seemed that romance was something not everyone could play. If you met someone who didn’t understand romance, then any romantic gesture became meaningless.

“Come over for dinner.” The wife called from the dining room.

Assistant Ma put down the remote control of the TV and walked to the dining room. He was stunned by the scene in front of him.

“So fancy?”

The wife stood on the side. She had already changed into a dress and put on light makeup when he wasn’t paying attention. She smiled at her husband and said, “Let’s eat.”

Assistant Ma, who had never enjoyed this kind of treatment after married life, was now full of admiration for his boss.

Sure enough, the ginger was spicy when it was old (TN: the older the wiser).
