Chapter 056 – The Veteran General

Jiang Tao, who said goodbye to Zishan, drove a short distance away, saw Lin Hao on the side of the road, and stopped the car, “Why are you here?”

Lin Hao looked at him, “I should be asking you this, right?”

Jiang Tao smiled, “I’m not on my way to help you send a file, you wouldn’t have forgotten it. Where is your car?”

“Something to send a friend just left,” Lin Hao glanced at Jiang Tao, “You won’t be looking at that old classmate of mine, eh, our Jiang Shao can also be enlightened, it’s really the sun coming out of the west. By the way, well, going to the east side of the city for business but coming to the west side to deliver a letter, this is just too smooth a path. Take me for a ride, today I’ll entrust you, Jiang Shao, to be my special driver.”

Jiang Tao blankly glanced at him, “I’m doing something for you, can’t you say it more politely? I just got to know people ok, full of flowery thoughts before I turn a thought to peach blossom.”

Lin Hao glanced at him: “really did not look at my old classmate, usually really by the way let you Jiang less help do something, will be squeezed out of the bone oil to you, today around such a big circle you actually so painfully, but also do not need to ‘pay’, I really want to doubt that the sun is not playing out of the west. ”

Jokingly, smoothly picked up Jiang Tao’s cell phone to: “Lend it to use, my cell phone has no electricity.” He opened the phone “eek” a sound: “You kid is not accountable, even the phone to my old classmates to come, but also hardened mouth do not admit.”

“There is a phone number worth so much fuss, I am in order to help you do things conveniently in the future, in case you have something to let me help it, is not it?” Jiang Tao face does not change color: “Do not take a small man’s heart to measure the gentleman’s heart ah, I still purposely go back to ask for the phone number, in order to you this brother I have gone out of my way, tomorrow’s coffee you please is not too much right.”

Lin Jie gave him a glance: “You’ve made it too obvious, right, Jiang Shao, deliberately went back to ask for the phone number, hey, are you hinting at me? Do you want to let the one who is a brother to help you, or do you want to let the one who is a brother to be merciful with his mouth and not to reveal your Jiang Shao’s true colors in front of that old classmate of mine?”

Jiang Tao smiled, “Think what you like, I can’t control your head can I? By the way, where do you want to go, I’m not a cab, if it’s too far you’d better take a cab.”

Lin Hao suddenly laughed, smiling deviously, “I wasn’t just about to make a call to see if that old classmate of mine had time to come out for dinner.” He smiled and looked at Jiang Tao, “Hinting, I’ll do it too, young Jiang.” This is not a hint, but a clear message to Jiang Tao, I have intentions for others, if you are a brother, don’t come to mess with me.

Jiang Tao shook his head: “You missed it, look, really anxious, it seems that you are moving the true heart, I’m teasing you, friend’s wife can not play, I can not lay hands on the brother’s beloved, I am that kind of person, right. Cheer up, brother, I’m just waiting to drink your wedding wine.”

Lin Hao looked at him, kept looking at him, looked at him for a while and said to him very seriously, “I see, you really–, are that kind of person.” As soon as the words left his mouth he received a punch from Jiang Tao.

Jiang Shou joked and laughed with him for a while before speaking, “You said you sent a friend, what kind of friend? I should know them.”

“General friends.” Lin Hao smiled and pointed to the side of the road, “Thank you, Mr. Driver, fare and tip are free, remember to bring me sandwiches tomorrow, I don’t want ham. Coffee is on me.”

Jiang Tao laughed and said, “You’re just one who refuses to take a loss.” Then he drove off, but he reached out a hand to shake his cell phone and let go.

The morning is always pleasant, Zisan after sending the baby would like to go to the job market to see, at the same time would like to go to buy a few newspapers to see what units are recruiting, can not look for half a day of work did not find, and thus decided that they can not do it? She believed in her own ability, so she was determined to fight to the end.

After buying the newspaper the phone rang, it was Liu Yun’s number, Zi Shan raised an eyebrow and answered the phone, “Something wrong?”

“Hello, I’m Liu Yun’s mom, you’re Ms. Li Zisan Li right?” What came over the phone was not Liu Yun’s voice, but the soft tone of a middle-aged woman, “I really don’t know how I should speak to you, first of all please allow me to say sorry, it’s me, it’s me who didn’t teach my daughter well.”

Zi Shan really did not expect Liu Yun’s mom to call, after hearing such words she really did not know what to say, what Liu Yun did is not something that can be wiped away with a single sorry, of course the marriage change can not be blamed on Liu Yun, it should be said that the responsibility is on Feng Dayong’s body.

But let her forgive Liu Yun’s existence, she also does not have that much courage. After being silent for a while and hearing a cautious “hello” on the other end of the phone, she finally spoke, “You, what is it that you are looking for me for?”

“I want to meet with you, I don’t know if it’s possible?” Mother Liu’s voice held a bit of humility, “You know, Liu Yun is still in the hospital, and even after being discharged from the hospital it’s unlikely that he’ll be able to get out of the house in a short period of time.”

Zi Shan’s brows furrowed, “There’s no need for that, right? If something really happened to Liu Yun, it would have been the same to say it over the phone.” She was a little offended by the implication in Mother Liu’s words that Liu Yun was in labor, but by the sound of her voice Mother Liu didn’t sound like someone who would be provocative, so she didn’t flip out on the spot.

Liu mother on the phone voice more embarrassed up: “Liu Yun some words to say with you, but the hospital has all kinds of inconvenience, is about the last time you call ……”

Zi Shan immediately interrupted her words: “Well, half an hour later to see, just in the hospital across a street Tianshui Road teahouse see.” She didn’t know what Liu Yun and Mother Liu meant, but it was important to know one’s enemy and know oneself, if she didn’t listen to anything they said to her mother and daughter, then she was the same as not knowing how they thought.

The divorce thing is not so simple, not that she wants to get a divorce certificate, in order to reduce the possibility of complications, in order to be able to separate from Feng Dayong as soon as possible, she must know Liu Yun’s thoughts – Liu Yun is very able to influence Feng Dayong.

Zi Shan looked at the newspaper in her hand, then rolled it up and stopped a cab to run to the caf茅, she was too lazy to go back to her home to put the newspaper, just in the car and the caf茅 waiting for people, skimming through the newspaper, and circled the useful things.

When she arrived at the caf茅, Mother Liu hadn’t yet arrived, and the newspaper Zixan had bought had really served to pass the time, and she took out her pen and circled three jobs on it – she’d only want to put in a resume for the ones she thought she was capable of doing.

As she was looking at the paper, Liu’s mother was drawn over by the waiter, “Hello, you’re Zishan, aren’t you? You’re Ryuun’s mother.” She started with a smile and held out her hand.

Zi Shan felt a bit surprised, because as far as she knew Liu Yun’s family living conditions were not good, both parents were extremely ordinary people, especially her mother didn’t have a job, she was just a housewife, and according to Liu mother’s age, housewives of their time shouldn’t be in the habit of shaking hands when they meet people.

Out of politeness, Zixan still shook Willow Mother’s fingers then let go, “Sit.” Looking up to the waiter, she said, “Fill up some water, as well as this Ms. Liu and I each counting our own, thank you.”

The smile on Mrs. Liu’s face choked slightly, probably not expecting Zi Shan to be so direct, she sat down and smiled, “I’m the one who asked Zi Shan out, it’s up to me to ……”

“I’ll pay for my tea,” Zi Shan glanced at Liu mother, “You’re here on behalf of Liu Yun, the money used even if it’s not taken from Liu Yun will give me a not so good feeling, I’m sure you can understand – whoever eats out I believe you can also understand – whoever eats out and is invited by the other party, but the other party spends their husband’s money, will not feel comfortable, right? Therefore, it’s better for you and I to settle the bill separately.”

Mother Liu’s face reddened slightly, but she calmly said to the waiter, “Please, latte, with milk and double sugar.”

Zi Shan was even more surprised when she took a closer look at Liu’s mother, she really couldn’t see what a housewife would look like – her whole body was very clean and sharp, not that kind of clean in the pure sense of the word, but there was a sense of shrewdness coming out of her, although she was wearing her hair in a bun, it was the more popular style nowadays, and the hairpins used were not only fashionable but also matched with her clothes. The hairpin she used was not only fashionable but also matched her clothes.

A middle-aged woman with exquisite make-up, good dress, and a fondness for lattes did not look like an ordinary housewife who took care of her family. Mother Liu gave Zi Shan the feeling of being out of place, completely at odds with what she had heard about Liu Yun’s family.

Zi Shan didn’t say anything more, since Liu’s mother was calling, of course she had something to do, anyway, she didn’t have a job at the moment, she had plenty of time.

Mother Liu didn’t rush to explain the purpose of Zi Shan’s appointment, but instead looked at the newspaper in Zi Shan’s hand, “Zi Shan is so interested in current affairs, usually women don’t pay attention to politics, or maybe I came a little bit late and made Zi Shan impatient, so she used the newspaper to pass the time?”

Zi Shan looked at her and stared straight into her eyes, “First of all, I ask you to call me Ms. Li or Ms. Li, the word Zi Shan sounds too awkward to me when it comes out of your mouth, and not just because we don’t know each other well, for reasons that I don’t need to make too clear, I’m sure you understand. I didn’t see you and yell or anything, that’s because of my culmination, not because I’m weak.”

Watching her mother’s gaze flicker, the corner of her mouth tugged, “As for what I’m doing, it doesn’t need to be explained to you or to Liu Yun.” She finished folding up the paper and placing it in the hollow of the chair beneath her before picking up her tea.

“Yes, yes.” Mother Liu nodded with a compensating smile, “Don’t get me wrong, I’m just a little embarrassed, and even though I just said I was sorry on the phone, I’m going to say it again now ……”

Zishan waved her hand, “There is no need to say sorry, things have already happened a sentence of sorry won’t change anything.”

Liu mother slightly raised his back to: “Then I have something to say straight, Feng Dayong how to break up with you, how your property distribution, and Liu Yun has nothing to do with, that is, between you, Liu Yun can not persuade the Feng Dayong what you and his ten years of husband and wife should know his temperament.”

Zi Shan heard and understood, the original Liu Yun is to let her mother this veteran general, in the end, still see Feng Dayong’s everything as her, so do not want to let go of a penny.
