Chapter 51: At a loss

Because there are so many materials on hand that need to be sorted out, Jiang Yan ordered a takeaway, ready to deal with it casually in the office.
The front desk called and said that someone was looking for it downstairs. She thought it was the takeaway. She hurried downstairs, but found that waiting for her was not the gratifying blue takeaway brother.
It was Shen Zhi.
Wearing a white windbreaker and sunglasses, Shen Zhi stood by the French window at the entrance of the company. The mirror reflected her slender figure, which looked like Guanyin Bodhisattva under the sunlight.
Before Shen Zhi could see herself, Jiang Yan turned around to drive away, but never thought that Shen Zhi had seen her through the reflective glass mirror on the opposite side.
"Can you hide from me forever?" Shen Zhi's voice was fairly calm.
Jiang Yan stepped in.
The soldiers came to cover up the water and earth, so what to persuade.
She gritted her teeth and turned to look at Shen Zhi with a smile: "Hello Aunt Shen."
Shen Zhi said blankly: "Miss Jiang, you are so amazing, you have lost Xia Yiyi's work."
Jiang Yan sat in front of her, neither humble nor overbearing: "People don't offend me, I don't offend people. If auntie comes to me because of this, I don't have to say..."
"It's amazing." Shen Zhi looked at her and said lightly: "It hasn't changed a little bit from before. I don't know what Rin Rin likes about you."
"This aunt may need to ask him instead of coming to me."
"Are you talking like this with your parents?"
Jiang Yan paused, no longer speaking, facing Shen Zhi, she instinctively activated the whole body's defense system.
"I want to treat you to a meal."
Jiang Yan looked at Shen Zhi defensively: "Auntie has anything to say, you can say it here."
"It's Xiaozhe's matter, I can't explain it clearly here." Shen Zhi said: "Lu Lin came to me several times and told me, no, not to tell me, but to inform me that he wants to be with you."
Jiang Yan looked down: "We are going to be together."
"Do you think I will let a woman who personally push my son into jail as my daughter-in-law?"
"It was not me who pushed Shen Zhe into the prison, but he himself." Jiang Yan lowered her voice, but the expression between her eyebrows became more determined: "Auntie, I have already apologized to you, and again and again. I apologize to you, not because I really did something wrong, but just for Lu Lin."
"Because Xiaozhe is Lu Lin's younger brother, I feel guilty. It is also because you are Lu Lin's mother that I will accept all the unnecessary accusations you have made for so many years. There is nothing else."
"Do you dare to say such a thing."
"He won the racing championship that night. He drank a few more glasses for a while, drunk and drove into a car, ranted wild words, and threw money at the traffic police. Did I instruct him to do this?" Jiang Yan looked at Shen Zhi said one word at a time: "The son is not going to be a godmother. I really want to say that Master Shen will have this day. As a mother, don't you have the slightest responsibility? Now you put the responsibility on me. It’s just to calm my conscience, right."
Shen Zhi's eyes reddened and it was difficult to maintain good cultivation, and she trembled with anger: "Jiang Yan, sometimes seeing it is not necessarily true. You only see my son being arrogant and domineering, only seeing him. Use money to buy the traffic police, and you can write such a report so that everyone can condemn him and cause him to commit suicide..."
"Is not it!"
Shen Zhi sneered and said: "You tell you that you think you are...will pay the price."
Jiang Yan looked at Shen Zhi and muttered: "What are you talking about."
"Lu Lin has never told you what kind of person Xiaozhe is. He is both excellent in character and learning. He has always been among the best from elementary school to high school. Not only that, he is gentle and kind, will help others, and will donate money to beggars on the road. The old man, whether the opponent is a liar or not, his dream is to win the s1 kart race. All the prize money won in each race in these years has been donated to the Children's Foundation for Amblyopia. Lu Lin never said this, did he? "
Jiang Yan frowned slightly: "I never talked about Shen Zhe with him."
This seems to be a taboo topic tacitly between them.
"As long as you investigate these things a little bit, or visit Xiaozhe's school, you will know, but you don't." Shen Zhi's eyes were like swords and arrows, and Jiang Yan stared at Jiang Yan fiercely: "You gave him a dude in your heart. The rich second generation hits someone and runs off the label, you follow your own ideas, guide public opinion, and push him to the forefront..."
"He hit someone, it's a fact." Jiang Yan insisted: "I'm just reporting the truth."
"Have you really reported the truth?" Shen Zhi stared at him, "Tomorrow, go to Jiangcheng No. 1 Prison and talk to him, do you dare?"
...
After Shen Zhi left, Jiang Yan stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, and hadn't recovered for a long time. The cold wind by the door made her feel cold, and she had no time to wait until tomorrow because of her occupational disease, so she immediately asked for leave and had to go to Jiangcheng No. 1 Prison to ask questions.
Duan Nan drove her away. At this time, she was really afraid that she would be unable to drive the car with shaking hands.
There was a row of glass panels standing in the middle of the reception room. When the guards brought Shen Zhe out, she could hardly recognize him.
At that time, the energetic young man lowered his head, his eyes were slightly sluggish and sluggish, and he grew a lot taller. Sitting in front of Jiang Yan, his entire temperament sank, and his eyebrows looked like Lu Lin when he was a teenager.
After Shen Zhi and Lu Lin's father divorced, Lu Lin followed his father, and his younger brother followed his mother, and even changed his surname.
When Jiang Yan and Lu Lin were in love at University, she vaguely knew what was going on in his family, but because of her special family, she had never seen anyone in his family, so that Shen Zhe couldn’t resist the pressure and committed suicide. Jiang Yan It was the first time that Lu Lin had hurried back in the hospital to meet his family officially, under such an embarrassing situation.
Shen Zhi had come to Jiang Yan countless times, all good and bad words, and all the words were exhausted. The two women had strong personalities, and they had no choice but to fight for each other. Until later, when Shen Zhi learned that the girl his son was dating was the one who harmed her. Her son's notorious reporter, she really hated Jiang Yan.
At this moment, Shen Zhe sat opposite Jiang Yan, raised his head to look at her, and seemed a little confused.
"Excuse me, are you?"
"Don't you... remember me?"
Shen Zhe didn't see Jiang Yan very often, and the only chance to have direct contact was when she held the microphone and pressed him aggressively.
Later, Shen Zhi never let any reporter come into contact with Shen Zhe, especially Jiang Yan.
"Sorry." Shen Zhe raised his head to look at her again, but he really didn't remember who she was: "Have we met before?"
"We..." Jiang Yan bowed her head, thought for a while, and said, "I'm Lu Rin's girlfriend."
Hearing these words, Shen Zhe's face showed a rare look: "Ah..."
He stretched out his hand to straighten his collar, and couldn't help scratching his hair: "Sister-in-law... Sister, my name is Shen Zhe. It's really... I didn't say anything about it before. He came here again today, you see I really... No preparation at all."
He was at a loss, his pale cheeks flushed slightly.
Jiang Yan's heart suddenly felt like being caught by a cat. She asked, "Do you really remember me at all?"
Shen Zhe's expression became even more puzzled: "Sister, I... have we met before? I'm sorry, I am a person of great forgetfulness and a little blind face."
"I am the reporter who interviewed you three years ago, don't you remember?"
Shen Zhe tried his best to think about it. Looking at Jiang Yan, he finally got such an impression. He smiled at her and said, "Oh, remembering that, that reporter, I still murdered her at the time. It was you, sorry. "
He who wandered at the gate of the prison for countless times in the past had never dared to go in. At this moment, in the light smile of this young man, it disappeared.
Jiang Yan was startled.
At this moment, Shen Zhe, who is warm and gentle, and the wicked and stubborn two young men in Jiang Yan's impression at the beginning, are different.
Jiang Yan couldn't restrain the chill that flashed up in her heart. She asked him, "Why did you drive drunk in the first place? Don't you know it's dangerous?"
"It's been so many years, why do you... ask me this."
Shen Zhe seemed unwilling to recall the past. He lowered his eyes, clenched his fists, and looked painful: "I knew I had harmed people. After waking up from the alcohol, I knew I had made a big mistake. I would rather Life for another life."
Jiang Yan looked at him and murmured: "You tell me why you should drive drunk."
"Because..." He hesitated for a while before finally confessing the truth.
Seeing Jiang Yan coming out, Duan Nan put down his hand that was about to smoke. He pulled the car door sideways to welcome her in.
Seeing Jiang Yan startled, he patiently said, "Did you ask?"
"Ok."
"Sympathy?"
"Have."
"Mixed feelings?"
"Ok."
Duan Nan twisted his cigarette, turned the steering wheel and drove the car out.
Soon, the car drove to the downstairs of a residential area, and occasionally saw a few pedestrians on the side of the road, the light was orange, buried her in the shadow.
"Why take me here?"
"Ching Ming in two days, I should come and see it."
Duan Nan took Jiang Yan into a residential building and knocked on the door on the first floor.
Soon, a tall boy walked over and opened the door.
"Hey, Brother Duan, you are here." Then he saw Jiang Yan behind him and said in surprise: "Reporter Jiang, you are here too!"
A weary smile appeared in front of Jiang Yan: "Gao Yuan, how are you doing? How are mother and sister?"
"Well, everything is fine, don't stand at the door, come in and sit!" Gao Yuan welcomed Duan Nan and Jiang Yan into the room.
The furniture in the room is simple, but still clean and tidy. He is eating dinner alone with a few leftovers on the table.
"I'm sorry." He scratched his head: "I don't know if you guys come here, have you eaten, or I will order a takeaway."
He seemed to feel that ordering take-out was not easy to entertain the guests, so he quickly said: "Just go to the vegetable market to buy some food, you are waiting for me."
"No need for Xiaoyuan." Duan Nan stopped him: "We just come to see you, sit down and leave."
Gao Yuan hurriedly brought a bench and asked the guests to sit down: "My sister is studying, and I'm back only on the weekend."
Jiang Yan asked, "Do you still go to the hospital to take care of your mother every day?"
Gao Yuan nodded: "Recently, the salary of nursing workers has increased. I discussed with my sister that we should run to the hospital more if we have time. It will save a little bit."
Jiang Yan did not hesitate to take out a card from her bag and handed it to Gao Yuan: "There is still some money in it..."
"No reporter Jiang!" Gao Yuan quickly stood up: "I told you that these are not... not what I mean. You and Brother Duan have helped me go to school with my sister these years. We have been very grateful for it. Money!"
Jiang Yan put the card into Gao Yuan's hand: "You hold it, I can feel at ease."
Gao Yuan did not understand the meaning of Jiang Yan's words: "Reporter Jiang, when you helped us to settle our grievances, our family is very grateful to you. If it weren't for your report that attracted the attention of the society, the rich second generation who hit someone would definitely not be sentenced. It's so heavy."
Jiang Yan trembled when he heard the words, and Duan Nan quickly said: "The judgments of the law are fair. By the way, does the medical expenses of the Shen family to your mother arrive on time every month?"
"some."
"That's good."
Gao Yuan said angrily: "The woman came to me last time and said that she wanted me to write a letter of understanding to prove that she gave me money on time every month."
Duan Nan frowned slightly: "Why do you write this?"
"I wanted to apply for a commutation of the sentence for the murderer, but I refused. He killed my dad and made my mother unable to get up in this life. I will never forgive him. No amount of money will help me. Hate him, I can't wait to stab him!"
There was a deep hatred in Gao Yuan's eyes.
When Jiang Yan and Duan Nan left, it was already late at night.
"Bring me to Gaoyuan's house to relieve my guilt towards Shen Zhe." Jiang Yan asked as she looked at the fast-moving street scene outside the car window.
Duan Nan laughed: "No matter what kind of hidden situation he has, the harm he has done to another family has already been done."
Jiang Yan felt very tired and slowly closed her eyes: "One thing goes into one yard."
