Ni Jiu (Intoxicated) - Chap 59
“I’m looking for Lian Jue.”
“Hello, do you have an appointment?”
The girl at the front desk looked at the young and beautiful woman in front of her. The other party was holding a white puppy. From her dress to her behavior, she showed a dignified and elegant temperament. When she looked up, she noticed the woman’s slightly bulging belly. She moved a little but the other party’s words quickly dispelled the gossip guesses woven in her heart and also made her expression change quickly.
“Do I really need to make an appointment with my son?” Yu Man’s slender eyebrows were slightly raised, but her face showed no dissatisfaction.
The girl was startled: “…son?”
“Well, I’m his mother.” Yu Man smiled at her. Seeing her hesitant expression, she added kindly, “Oh, stepmother.”
The girl hurriedly said, “Ah, please wait for a moment. I’ll go talk to President Lian…”
“No need.” Yu Man said. “He’s that busy? I’ll just wait for him for a while. Where is the lounge?”
“I’ll take you there.”
The girl at the front desk guided Yu Man through the two office areas and into a bright reception room. She asked her to wait here for a while and then poured her a cup of hot water.
After coming out of the reception room, the girl at the front desk went upstairs to find Lin Chen first.
Lian Jue was discussing things with a partner. Lin Chen rarely found time to sit in his independent office to fish and watch the video commentary of a game. Hearing someone knocking on the door, the smile in the corner of his eyes quickly tightened. Living his own cold and professional personality he said, “Come in.”
“Assistant Lin.” The girl poked her head in, opened her mouth to speak, then turned to look outside, worried that it would be bad to be heard, so she walked in.
“What’s up?”
“There is a Ms. Yu who claims to be President Lian’s… uh, stepmother. She’s waiting for President Lian in the reception room.” The girl hesitated a bit, “I don’t know if she is telling the truth that’s why I came up to ask you first.”
Lin Chen frowned, lowered his head and reluctantly glanced at the video on the computer before the progress bar was halfway through. He sighed inwardly, turned off the computer, and said, “You go first, I will tell President Lian.”
Lin Chen knocked on the door, walked into Lian Jue’s office, leaned into Lian Jue’s ear and whispered, “Mrs. Chen is here.”
There was no obvious change in Lian Jue’s expression but the hand that had been casually placed on the table silently tapped on it. Lin Chen said to him, “Do you need me to go over first?”
Lian Jue said: “No need.”
Yu Man sat in the reception room for a while. She turned her head and looked out from the transparent glass wall, looking at Lian Jue’s new company.
It can be said that this company is completely incomparable with the Feng Jue, where Lian Jue was originally positioned. When Yu Man came, she took a cursory look. This place probably occupies three to four floors and all departments are fully allocated. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. A few months after Lian Jue left Feng Jue, he re-founded a new enterprise in China and it is not difficult to see Lian Jue’s personal ability.
She looked around so blatantly that she would occasionally cast prying eyes at the office area outside. Yu Man just sat bored, so she simply got up with her dog and went outside for a walk.

Lian Jue and the person in charge of the partner came downstairs and saw Yu Man sitting on the sofa in the pantry on the first floor, chatting with a few girls in the marketing department.
“This is definitely the quietest Pomeranian I’ve ever seen. The Pomeranian in my house can call the whole building to complain.”
“Our Lulu is very human. It seems to know that I am pregnant, so it has become quieter and less troublesome now.” Yu Man touched Lulu’s head with a gentle smile, “but it occasionally calls. Recently, as long as I am not around it, it seems to be worried and the aunt at home can’t stand it, so I have to take it with me wherever I go now.”
“Yes, I have also heard that some puppies are very smart. I read a foreign news before. The hostess found that the puppy at home suddenly stopped barking and became very docile. Not long after that, I went to the hospital for an examination found out that I was pregnant. The puppy seems to be able to sense it but I don’t know how this dog does it.”
“Smell.” Yu Man thought for a while and said, “Doggies are very sensitive to smells. Lulu doesn’t like my husband’s smell. Now that I’m pregnant, it doesn’t even allow my husband to come near me, maybe for him my husband looks so unkind.”
A few girls laughed and joked: “It’s so sweet. It’s really there to protect you.”
“It’s very clingy. I’m pregnant now and I can’t let it go to bed. It actually learned to steal my socks and hide it in its nest.” Yu Man laughed, “The aunt cleaned the house that day and opened its nest , it’s all about half the socks I lost.”
Usually, the working atmosphere of the marketing department is relatively relaxed and they are also the ones who often work overtime on business trips. Although Lian Jue usually looks unreasonable on the surface, he is actually very tolerant to them. As long as the work is completed on time, he rarely cares about them too much.
When several people saw Lian Jue, they said hello and restrained a little.
Lian Jue greeted an employee from the marketing department who was pretending to be idle and asked someone to send the person in charge of the partner out.
Yu Man stood up from the sofa with the dog in her arms. She wrinkled her nose as soon as she walked over to him, raised her hand and tapped her nose twice: “Are you sitting in the office talking about business and drinking?”
Lian Jue rarely felt speechless, did not speak, turned around and walked towards the elevator.
Yu Man followed into Lian Jue’s office, closed the door and put down the puppy on her arms.
The puppy came to an unfamiliar environment, with its nose close to the ground and curiously sniffing everywhere. Lian Jue frowned at the puppy sniffing in front of his shoe and asked Yu Man: “You came to me. Does Chen Chulian knew?”
Yu Man sat down on the sofa unceremoniously, “When you’re gone you’ve left such a big mess as Feng Jue,” she seemed to feel uncomfortable on the sofa, so she took a pillow from the side and put it behind her waist, “Now he doesn’t have time to keep an eye on my movements all day.” After that, she added with a smile to herself, “As long as the paternity test comes, the child is his.”
“What’s the matter with me?” Lian Jue deliberately dragged the chair out which created a clear sound and drove the puppy away from his feet.
Yu Man didn’t go around in circles with him and said bluntly, “I heard that you made someone else’s stomach bigger?”
Lian Jue raised his eyes to look at her.
Yu Man easily understood the meaning conveyed in his eyes and quickly explained: “I have so much time to investigate you. The main reason is that you are too secretive. You know, the more deliberately this person seems to hide something, the easier it is to fount out. You didn’t even think about it, Chen Chu even knew when you peeked at the psychiatrist when you were in school. How could he not find out the obstetrician you invited once this week?”
Lian Jue’s face was not very good-looking: “What does he want to do?”
“Who knows what that mad dog can do.” Yu Man took out her mobile phone from her bag, fiddled with it and put it on the table. Seeing that Lian Jue was sitting still, Yu Man’s eyebrows raised in dissatisfaction, “Why, wait? I’ll give it to you. If you don’t want to look at me at least look at the face of your younger brother and sister in my stomach, so you condescend and take it.”
Lian Jue stared at the phone for a few seconds then got up, walked over, bent over and picked it up.
Yu Man leaned on the sofa and looked at him, stroking her stomach: “Someone sent it to my house yesterday. I was afraid that Lao Chen would find it, so I just picked up a few photos and took a look for yourself.
There are a few photos in Yu Man’s phone album. The angles and pixels are not very good, but he can clearly see the exterior of his villa in the suburbs. There are several photos of a white SUV parked at the gate of the hospital. The doctor is either getting off the car or walking into the courtyard. He is wearing different clothes, which means that the photos were not taken on the same day. There is also an incomplete picture of the doctor’s information next to it, only half of it is exposed, marking the private hospital and department where the doctor works.
Turning back again, Lian Jue’s hand stopped on the screen. This photo may be a little overexposed due to the weather, but it still clearly shows Shen Tingwei’s profile. Shen Tingwei watering the flowers in the yard , dragging a long water pipe in his hand, it looked heavy that he bent’s slightly because of the posture or the cover of his clothes, his stomach didn’t look strange.
Lian Jue wasn’t sure when this photo was taken. Looking at the clothes, he guessed that it was just the beginning of summer. At that time, Shen Tingwei’s belly hadn’t begun to show pregnancy but the nerve in his brain was still tense — if it’s a photo from so long ago, he’s not sure if someone will take it later.
As he was pondering, he suddenly heard Yu Man ask: “…are you in financial difficulties now?”
Lian Jue raised his head and looked at her for no apparent reason.
Yu Man raised her chin and nodded: “Why are a few Xiaoqing still living together. Are you not afraid of the fire in the backyard?”
Lian Jue was speechless by Yu Man for the second time today and returned the phone to her in silence.
“I don’t have to be kind to meddle with your shit, it’s mainly because of your enthusiasm for the pregnant woman. I guess you want the child.” Yu Man didn’t care about his silence, and put away her phone. “Maybe, I also have a small gadget in my stomach. I’m here to warn you, anyway, you should be on your guard.”
“Well.” Lian Jue looked at her and seldom said to anyone from the bottom of his heart, “Thank you.”
“Okay, I’m leaving…” Yu Man turned her head and looked for the puppy at sight, “Lulu?”
Before she finished speaking, she heard the sound of sizzling water.
Lian Jue and Yu Man turned their heads together. Yu Man’s dog was raising one leg, facing the flowerpot by the window of Lian Jue’s office and poured his urine.
Then the puppy put down his legs, sniffed there, ran towards Yu Man cheerfully, raised his head and asked for credit: “Arf!”
Yu Man looked embarrassed and quickly picked it up: “Ahem…uh I apologize. I will beat it once I’m back home.”
Lian Jue was speechless for a while, not knowing what expression to put on for a long time.
Yu Man hugged the dog and hurried out but when she was about to reach the door, shee stopped again, turned her head to Lian Jue, who was still looking at him and said, “Oh, by the way, pay attention to Chen Xu. After you leave, that girl is coming to Chen’s house more diligently than going to her grandmother’s house. I guess that kid has a stomach full of bad water and is looking for a place to sprinkle it.”
Lian Jue raised his head. Yu Man met his gaze and said a little apologetically, “You…clean it well. It’s not actually smelly.”
