Chapter 273: Not for the sake of giving favors
Jiang Tao was so tired that he fell asleep, but suddenly woke up at around nine o’clock in the evening, he rolled over and sat up, every muscle in his body was screaming strangely, all reminding him that rest is the first thing to do right now, but he still sat up, and half a day after feeling around his body, he found cigarettes and other things, but they were thrown aside, and finally he found a cell phone in the briefcase at the end of the bed.
He looked at the time and called Zixan, nothing really, just asking if the baby was asleep, and how Zixan was doing today, and if she needed to go out of town tomorrow, and other trivial things, and the only reason he woke up with a start was because he was so busy today that he hadn’t called Zixan.
Hearing that Zi Shan and the baby were fine, he said good night to the baby and hung up the phone before falling straight onto the bed, followed by another sleep, this time, he slept extremely soundly, even though he hadn’t eaten any dinner, he didn’t wake up due to hunger. In his sleep, his eyebrows spread out, because he knew that the Shen family didn’t have the heart to find Zi Shan’s trouble again recently.
After this incident, he believed that the Shen family would think carefully when doing things again, and would not hit Zi Shan’s door again in a fit of excitement, that way, not only the Shen family would have enough time to think about it, but he and Zi Shan and the others would also have plenty of time to cope with it.
It’s impossible for a person to be free of trouble, but for the first time, Jiang Tao had the idea that he should do a good job, because he really can’t give Zi Shan too much help when he has no power, no influence, no name and no money – like the Shen family, he really can’t do it with one person’s power to bring them down, and eliminate the future trouble for Zi Shan…. -In fact, if he has the power to make the Shen family afraid, just deterrence is enough to save Zi Shan from trouble.
He is not afraid of tired, just don’t want Zi Shan add more trouble, more don’t want Zi Shan by some unnecessary people entangled, he can do now, only these. As a man, once upon a time he really didn’t have any ambition, after not worrying about food and clothing he didn’t have any thoughts of striving, but now he finally understands why those coworkers work so hard, because they have the motivation.
Now, he, Jiang Tao, also had motivation.
The dream baby laughed and pounced on him, he rushed to meet up with the scared heart a wild beat: “Be careful, fall how to do? You’re not a boy’s family, a girl can’t hurt anywhere.” It was as if the baby was his flesh and blood, whether in reality or in his dreams, he truly loved that strong and understanding little girl.
The baby smiled and kissed him on the cheek, “Not afraid, there’s godfather.” She twisted around in Jiang Tao’s body, suddenly pushed him away and ran down to the ground, deliberately running around him to attract him to worry, and then mischievously spit out her tongue and laughed, this cute little thing, really let people not heartache can’t – Jiang Tao chased after him and deliberately let go of the baby every time he was about to catch her, in order to let the child be a little complacent and Happy.
The two played sweaty, but are extremely happy, especially the baby called godfather called his heart a sweet, sweet is the baby with him to ask for the moon, he has to think of ideas for the baby to get a to.
Zishan of course does not know Jiang Tao exhausted, never buy stocks of course she does not know the Shen family’s shares fell, as for the morning newspaper news she is to see, but a busy day she did not know the Blue Water City morning newspaper yesterday was sent out how many copies – she went out early to busy, late home, even if the road to see someone Even if she saw someone delivering newspapers on the way, she thought it was some kind of activity somewhere and didn’t give it a second thought.
Until this morning when she woke up, was rushed to report Chu Xiang and Xue Jing told her to realize what happened yesterday, and Chu Xiang and Xue Jing face do not know what expression – there are suspicion, there are happy and shock.
Fatty is still calm: ”I just don’t know what the person who did this had in mind, but the Shen family is in big trouble this time. I called Jiang Tao, he rushed over a while later – Shen family and Zi Shan’s conflict, there should be no outsiders know right, not we did it, is Jiang Tao did it? But it can’t be, if it’s Jiang Tao there’s no reason why he wouldn’t call us along.”
Zishan was a little hesitant: “How many newspapers were there yesterday, how much money would that cost, it couldn’t be Jiang Tao, could it?” This favor is too heavy, she really can’t afford it.
Just talking Jiang Tao came, panting appearance: “What happened?!” It turned out that Chu Xiang they did not say what is the matter, just let him quickly to Zi Shan home.
The baby saw him very good and happy to call him, “Uncle Tao morning.”
“Morning, baby.” Even though Jiang Tao was now very worried, the moment he saw the baby he still unfolded a bright smile, “Did you sleep well last night, did you – wet the bed?”
The baby didn’t comply: “Hate it, Uncle Tao, I’m a big kid now, only little kids wet the bed.” Jiang Tao went over and joked with the baby while walking towards the baby’s room, of course not forgetting to call up Xue Jing and Chu Xiang’s son, letting the three children go and play before he came out, still asking what happened.
Chu Xiang and Xue Jing glared at him: ”You still ask us, it’s us who ask you – say, what did you do yesterday? Shen family can really have a big trouble, you kid can do things secretly enough, not tell anyone ah, there is no when we are your friends.”
Jiang Tao heard subconsciously first sneak a glance at Zi Shan, although he made up his mind to do, but after doing so he was most worried about Zi Shan’s reaction, you can be good to people, but also to be willing to accept, if your good intentions are too big time, for the bearer of the party may be a burden – this reason he understood a long time ago.
Seeing Zi Shan’s expression, he smiled at Chu Xiang and Xue Jing: ”Didn’t do anything ah, last night went to the newspaper you guys know, I just found a friend to provide them with the press release, after that my friend said that there is a person who has a grudge against the Shen family who wants to lend us a hand, and asked me if I can do it. I thought about how an enemy of an enemy wouldn’t be an enemy even if it wasn’t a friend, so I nodded.”
“But I didn’t know that the Shen family’s enemy had such a big hand – I only found out this morning, I was busy all day yesterday, and didn’t take any time off at all for a few cases. If I were to do it, ha, that would really kill me, how much money would it cost. Big sister, I’m a poor man, okay? The little money saved up is a wife’s capital.” After he finished explaining half-jokingly, he relaxed when he saw Zi Shan’s relieved look.
Chu Xiang and Xue Jing looked at each other, “It really wasn’t you?”
“It really wasn’t. I do have the heart, but I don’t have the strength, you all know how much I earn in a month, I usually have to spend it too, how much can I save? Haven’t you ever heard of a big boy who can’t save money? I really don’t have that much money, and it’s not that I don’t want to do that,” Jiang Tao spread his hands, “It’s really not me, big sisters.”
Xue Jing was a little disappointed, glanced at Zi Shan and glared at Jiang Tao, very slightly hating him – if it was Jiang Tao who did it, how touching, wasn’t it? It might have opened up Zishan’s heart, or at least made her grateful to Jiang Tao. How can this be a good thing?
However, she also knows that Jiang Tao’s income is limited, really if he did things, that would make him take out a lot of savings, right? Like he said, he a big boy big spend money is normal, save money is not normal, he really does not have much savings is true. Besides, even if Jiang Tao has a good feeling about Zi Shan, but there is no reason that when the relationship between the two people is just ordinary, he has to ask people to pay for his family.
Sox Jing sighed a few times in his heart, and Chu Xiang exchanged a glance also even if, the rest is also interested in Jiang Tao’s mouth in the Shen family’s enemy, but Jiang Tao said also do not know who that is, because he did not see people.
Jiang Tao saw Zi Shan eyes flashed doubt and said with a smile: “Shen family has been doing business for many years, the shopping mall as a battlefield ah, how many enemies have been afraid of even their own do not know it? Anyway, someone can take this breath for us out more painful is a good thing, no harm to us care so much what to do.”
He knew the truth of saying more is more wrong, so he sought an excuse of being busy with work and left in a hurry, afraid of staying too long for Zi Shan to give birth to more suspicion, he just took out some savings, as if he felt that those newspapers needed a lot of money, in fact, the price of the newspapers he took was not the retail price, so it only took a few tens of thousands of dollars.
For him, a lawyer for ten years, it really wasn’t a huge amount of money, but he knew that Zi Shan wouldn’t want to owe anyone, especially him, such a big favor, that’s why he told a lie. The purpose he wanted was to make the Shen family not dare to come to Zi Shan’s trouble, so that the Shen family has no time to come to Zi Shan’s trouble, now the purpose has been achieved, as for whether Zi Shan knows that it is his doing is not important.
Jiang Tao’s steps were not heavy or hesitant when he left, but rather brisk, which made Zi Shan, who was seeing him off, show her doubts again, but she didn’t say anything. Some things now forced to ask the results, she really ready to face? She knew she wasn’t.
Chu Xiang and Xue Jing and Fatty took the children to school, and Zi Shan has to clean up to go to the company, so let Fatty do not have to come to pick her up, she will take a taxi – just halfway to the tax office to go to the store to use invoices, some customers bought food is required to invoice, no can not be done.
Zishan changed her clothes, checked her bag to make sure she didn’t have anything missing, then picked up her keys and put them in her bag and opened the door, but she didn’t want to see Feng Dayong standing outside the door, looking at his posture as if he wanted to knock on the door.
Today is not a Saturday Feng Dayong should not appear in her door, said the usual she and Feng Dayong also almost nothing to come to – so also be Liu Yun that she is the third party in his marriage it, if Zishan really forgave Feng Dayong, when he is a common friend to come to words, then Liu Yun do not know what will do things to.
However, the reason why Zixan does not and Feng Dayong is not afraid of what Liu Yun, but to Feng Dayong this person is really not half a good feeling, although do not want to make a revenge plan, but also will not forgive Feng Dayong to do those things to her. Therefore, Zi Shan as if she did not see him, casually took the door to take out the key to lock, immediately ready to turn around and leave.
