After hearing what the eldest son of the Liang family said, all the eyes of the family fell on Liang Ke'an.

"I can not go."

Liang Ke'an's rejection made Liang's mother sad and desperate.

She wiped her tears and spoke, smelling like old green tea, "Ke'an, mom doesn't blame you, it's mom who brought it upon herself and she deserves it."

The two brothers couldn't stand Liang's mother's crying, so they took turns to persuade Liang Ke'an to intercede with Shen Hongmei no matter what.

"Ke'an, let's face it, you are also responsible for what happened to Mom. If you hadn't been on a blind date with Shen Hongmei, our family wouldn't have been involved with her."

This was approved by the whole family.

Liang Ke'an had no choice but to tell Shen Hongmei's warning.

"If I go to find her again, she will go to my boss. If the factory finds out what mom did, how can I have the honor to stay in the factory in the future?"

This was what Liang's mother was most worried about. This time she really regretted provoking Shen Hongmei in the first place.

……

After get off work at noon, after everyone in the office went to the cafeteria, Shen Hongmei picked up her bag and left the factory, heading towards the black Santana parked on the street in front.

When she arrived in front of Santana, she looked around again and saw no one she knew before quickly opening the car door and getting in.

"Brother Zhao, do you have a problem with me?"

Zhao Dafa was amused by her cautious way of dodging, "Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?"

Shen Hongmei was slightly stunned, "Yes."

Only then did Zhao Dafa start the car with satisfaction, "Let's go eat first, I've been hungry for a long time."

Shen Hongmei pointed the way: "After two intersections, turn right. There is an old pickled cabbage dumpling restaurant. It tastes very good. I often go there to eat. I'll treat you to it today."

After saying that, I felt embarrassed again.

Zhao Dafa paid for the previous meals. Today it was her turn, but she only invited Zhao Dafa to eat cheap dumplings.

"How about changing to another one? I know there is a donkey meat restaurant..."

"It's okay, just eat dumplings. Try your favorite dumplings."

Shen Hongmei couldn't help but said: "I promise I won't let you down."

"I believe that."

"You haven't eaten it yet, what if it doesn't suit your taste?"

Zhao Dafa glanced at her and said meaningfully: "Taste also varies from person to person."

Shen Hongmei's face is warm and her heart is beating.

"For example, I often eat with government officials and some real estate executives to discuss business, so I have to follow their tastes and eat happily even if I don't like it."

It turned out to be about work.

Shen Hongmei smoothed her hair to hide her embarrassment.

"But if I eat with you, even if the food doesn't taste good, I will be happy from the bottom of my heart."

The temperature on Shen Hongmei's face, which had finally dropped, suddenly rose again.

There is a folk saying that once an old house catches fire, it is most dangerous, because the fire spreads so fast, and you don't know what will be ignited in the next second.

The summary is that falling in love for an old man is like an old house on fire and there is no way to save it.

……

While eating dumplings, Zhao Dafa took the opportunity to tell Shen Hongmei about the case.

"The court has officially filed the case and issued a subpoena to the Liang family. It is estimated that they will come to you again, so you should be mentally prepared."

Shen Hongmei snorted: "If they dare to come, I will retaliate in kind and go to their unit to find their leaders!"

Seeing how stubborn she was, Zhao Dafa felt relieved and talked about going to his house for dinner.

We had made an appointment before, but Zhao Dafa had to go on a business trip and postponed it.

"Are you free this Saturday?"

Seeing Shen Hongmei nodding, Zhao Dafa said: "I'm going to meet with a leader on Saturday morning. There will probably be a dinner at noon. I'll pick you up after dinner." "Yes."

……

As soon as Shen Hongmei returned to the factory, she noticed that everyone looked at her strangely, and even gathered in groups of twos and threes to whisper.

She soon learned the reason from Pei Qiuxia.

She was seen eating with Zhao Dafa in a dumpling restaurant.

As the saying goes, paper can't cover up the fire. She and Zhao Dafa have been in close contact for so long, and someone in the factory has actually been talking behind her back.

In the afternoon, Shen Hongmei went to the bathroom. As she was approaching the door, she heard someone inside mention her name——

"...She is so young, and she only wants to find a man who is so much older because he is rich."

"She wants to find someone younger, but younger people don't like her either."

"You don't know this, right? She's very capable. Boss Zhao had a partner before, but she managed to get her away."

"real or fake?"

"At her age, it's not easy for her to find a partner, but she hides it and doesn't dare to see people. Isn't it because of a guilty conscience."

Hearing this, Shen Hongmei stepped into the bathroom.

Seeing her, several female employees who had gathered together to gossip quickly dispersed and prepared to leave as if nothing had happened.

"Page 3 of the Employee Rules. It is forbidden to chat about gossip that has nothing to do with work during working hours. You four, come to the office after get off work to sign the fines."

The expressions of the four people changed slightly, but they had nothing to say.

After all, the rules and regulations were there, and even if Shen Hongmei deliberately retaliated, they had no choice but to admit they were unlucky.

"What's so great about it is just because I have Mr. Shen's support."

"Keep your voice down!"

"I'm not afraid of her. The worst I can do is quit. It's not like this is the only place where you can make money..."

Listening to the distant sounds outside, Shen Hongmei fixed her hair in the mirror with an expressionless face.

"I heard that you made a show of force in the bathroom."

When Shen Hongmei went to Shen Mingzhu's office, she was teased by Shen Mingzhu.

Shen Hongmei said sarcastically, "They violated the rules. I was just doing business."

Shen Mingzhu was noncommittal, "You have no problem handling this matter, but do you still plan to keep the matter between you and Brother Zhao secretive?"

Shen Hongmei said distressedly: "I haven't thought about it either."

"You and Brother Zhao are an unmarried man and an unmarried woman. You are originally an upright and honest couple, but you have to hide it and keep it secret. It seems that you are not visible to others, so everyone will naturally gossip about it."

After a pause, Shen Mingzhu added: "It's time for you to give Brother Zhao an identity. Just because he doesn't say it doesn't mean he doesn't care. Remember, men also need a sense of security."

Fast forward to Saturday.

Shen Hongmei's job is on weekends, but she will stay in the factory on Saturdays when she has nothing to do, reading or doing other things, and eating in the cafeteria at noon.

When Zhao Dafa came to pick her up in the afternoon, she specifically asked him to park the car at the gate of the factory.

"Aren't you afraid of being seen by the factory employees?"

Facing Zhao Dafa's teasing smile, Shen Hongmei explained with a slight warmth in her cheeks: "I wasn't afraid before, but I was worried that if we failed, I didn't want to be laughed at."

"Then I have to work hard."

Facing Shen Hongmei's confused gaze, Zhao Dafa smiled and added: "...I won't let you be laughed at."

The sunshine outside the car window was brilliant, just like a man's bright smile, and Shen Hongmei's heart was beating like a drum.

The car soon stopped at the entrance of the vegetable market.

The two got out of the car and walked to the vegetable market. After walking a few steps, they met Zhou Hui coming out of the market carrying a large bag of things.
