Previous Chapter Review:
As soon as he entered the door, he saw that the thin father-in-law had one hand being held down by the nurse, and he looked in pain, struggling with his legs and feet. And on the father-in-law's blue-and-white striped hospital gown, there were also large and shocking blood stains.
When the father-in-law saw her, his eyes widened, and he raised his other dry arm to reach out to her, and his mouth was wide open, looking a little sinister and terrifying.
Was he asking her for help?
Shen Zhao was so shocked that she almost lost her voice, she reacted in a panic, and was about to shout, when suddenly the back of her head hurt and she fell down softly.
Before passing out, she seemed to hear her mother-in-law's complaining voice: "They all said let you be careful..."
Subsequently, Shen Zhao's consciousness fell into darkness.
Chapter 5
1
Shen Zhao woke up on a hospital bench. When I moved slightly, I only felt soreness in my body, and my neck was particularly serious.
"Awake?" Qi Bai's voice sounded coldly.
Shen Zhao's heart was shocked, and he quickly remembered the scene he saw before he passed out, and he couldn't care less about who had knocked him unconscious, and he opened his mouth anxiously.
"Dad, how is he?" I saw him injured and he asked me for help... There was also a lot of blood! ”
At this time, the mother-in-law came over: "Zhao Zhao, what nonsense are you talking about?" You just got to the hospital and you fainted because of low blood sugar, if I hadn't gone out to buy food for the old man just happened to meet..."
The mother-in-law was also followed by a doctor, up and down forty years old, with good facial features. He looked Shen Zhao up and down and said to his mother-in-law, "This is your daughter-in-law, she is not sleeping well?" ”
Shen Zhao had not slept all night yesterday, and the Wuqing at the moment was obvious, and anyone could see it.
The mother-in-law suddenly became nervous, she was most concerned about the child in Shen Zhao's belly: "Dr. Yu, does this matter, will it affect the development of the fetus?" ”

Dr. Yu turned his head to look at Shen Zhao and asked gently, "Did you take sleep-aid drugs for a long time before?" ”
Shen Zhao nodded, but she didn't understand why the doctor asked so much, she didn't think she was talking nonsense. But why did Qi Bai and his mother-in-law look so indifferent, didn't they care about the death or death of their father-in-law?
"That's right." Dr. Yu smiled, "Now that you are pregnant, you must not be able to take any more medication, and taking sleep aids for a long time, suddenly interrupting, will produce some withdrawal reactions - occasional hallucinations are one of the manifestations." ”
Shen Zhao was stunned: "Yes... Is that so? ”
So the real visual impact is just an illusion of oneself?
She subconsciously turned her head to look at the people around her, and her mother-in-law was standing next to her, counting down: "I just said that you don't come over, the old man still needs someone to take care of, and you fainted again, isn't this adding to the chaos..."
Shen Zhao lowered her head, she still didn't quite believe the statement that she had hallucinated.
"Mom, I'm coming, you let me go see Daddy... Otherwise, if this word goes out, what will outsiders say about me as a daughter-in-law? ”
Looking at her mother-in-law still frowning, Shen Zhao's mind turned and he added: "Besides, I am not happy all day, and it is not good for children." ”
Involving the child, the mother-in-law's look was indeed loose: "Okay, you follow me." ”

Shen Zhao walked into his father-in-law's single ward.
Gong Gong was half leaning on the bed reading the newspaper, one of his legs was plastered and hung high.
"Coming?" The father-in-law saw Shen Zhao walk in, put the newspaper aside, and opened his mouth to greet him.
His expression was very normal, and apart from a somewhat weak tone, he could not find any problems. It was as if what Shen Zhao had seen before was covered in blood, and the person who was screaming and struggling was really just an illusion of hers.
Shen Zhao was silent, and there was nothing more to say.
When I went back, it was already dark.
Shen Zhao sat on the co-pilot with his eyes closed and rested, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "If I faint from low blood sugar, why does the back of my neck hurt?" ”
Qi Bai replied impatiently, "You have been crooked in the chair for so long, of course, it is not comfortable anywhere, and there is something strange about the neck pain." ”
Is that so... Shen Zhao always felt that there was still something that he had overlooked, but when he wanted to think about it, he couldn't think of where that point was.

Shen Zhao and Wei Heqing agreed that the time had arrived, and he had set up a Chinese restaurant.
Shen Zhao packed himself up a little and went to the appointment. No matter what, you can't always appear in front of your old classmates with a haggard face.
Wei Heqing waited for Shen Zhao at the door of the restaurant, and as soon as she got out of the car, the other party greeted her.
After the greeting, Wei Heqing led the way in front, and Shen Zhao followed him to the rear on his right side. At this angle, you can just look up at Wei Heqing's side face.
He was different from the thin and quiet Wei Heqing in Shen Zhao's memory, who had no sense of existence.
The green face grew open, with edges and angles, and the figure was also much taller, Shen Zhao secretly estimated that it must be one meter and eight upwards.
"Staring at me?" Wei Heqing, who was walking in front, sensed her gaze and turned his head sideways and made a joke: "I'm so handsome that you can't recognize it?" ”
Wei Heqing's voice was more magnetic than on the phone, and Shen Zhaofang admitted, "It's much better than before, if you hadn't taken the initiative to come over today, I guess I wouldn't have recognized it." ”
"Shen Da Beauty is different." Wei Heqing said as he pulled open the box door and sideways to let Shen Zhao go first, "From small beautiful to large, it is difficult to recognize it." ”

This meal was not embarrassing, much better than Shen Zhao expected.
Wei Heqing was much more cheerful than before, and he was humorous and funny, and the jokes were appropriate and appropriate, which would not make people feel offended or cold.
At the end of the meal, Shen Zhao had completely relaxed, no longer tense, and casually asked, "You seem to be quite familiar with this place, often come?" ”
"Yes." Wei Heqing nodded and revealed a smile, "This crab stuffed orange is a must- it's just a pity that you are pregnant and can't eat these cold things." ”
After saying that, and describing the delicious taste of the crab stuffed orange, Shen Zhao also saw the crab stuffed orange on the menu when ordering, and the appearance was indeed very tempting, and for a time she was hungry.
"Then I'll give it a try in two months." When Shen Zhao said this, she didn't feel anything until she looked up and saw Wei Heqing's inquiring expression.
"You... Are you not ready to have this child? ”
Shen Zhao reacted at once. She is not pregnant yet, even in two months, she will not even be able to meet the standard of premature birth. If she could come and eat crab-stuffed oranges in two months, there was only one possibility—she had no intention of giving birth to the baby.
She suddenly froze, not knowing how to reply, this matter Shen Zhao had been hiding from everyone. Now, I was even given insight by my junior high school classmates who had just met.
Seeing Shen Zhao's hesitant and embarrassed look, Wei Heqing said in a timely manner, "Don't be nervous... I didn't mean to probe your private affairs. ”
"Nothing..." Shen Zhao thought about it, or said, "I took medicine during pregnancy, and it is very likely that it has affected the fetus, so... There is no way. ”

Wei Heqing saw that Shen Zhao did not want to talk more about her family affairs, and immediately changed the topic with a smile and talked about his work.
“...... I recently came across a strange client. He said that his mother, who was a nanny, was harmed by the master's family and did not rely on it.
But the hospital clearly issued a certificate that his mother fell down the stairs and died. ”
Shen Zhao listened, his heart beat violently, at this point in time, this situation - Wei Heqing's client was probably the son of the former nanny Aunt Liu!
"And then, did you take that commission?" Shen Zhao asked a question.
Wei Heqing turned a plate of snacks to Shen Zhao's side and smiled slightly, "This strange thing is strange here." After I took the evidence, I found that the cause of death of the nanny was indeed a bit strange, and it was probably not an accident.
But at this time, the client repented and wanted to withdraw the lawsuit. I persuaded a few words, and he was a little loose, but in the end he insisted on withdrawing the lawsuit. ”
"Could it be that someone is secretly manipulating and bribing your client?" Shen Zhao guessed.
"The possibility is great."
"That... What is the mystery you found when you collected evidence, can you tell me about it? Shen Zhao asked somewhat urgently.

Wei Heqing's movements paused.
Shen Zhao immediately realized that his move was inappropriate, as a lawyer, how could he casually disclose the information of the client's case to others?
She hurried to apologize.
"It's okay, no need to apologize." Wei Heqing's tone was very gentle, "The matter has already passed, and it doesn't hinder anything to say it now."
However, I think you seem to care about this matter, not just curious, right? ”
The lawyer's observation has always been very meticulous, and it is not surprising that Shen Zhao was seen to be abnormal.
Shen Zhao thought about it for a while and asked, "Wei Heqing, are you good at divorce proceedings?" ”
"Are you going to entrust me with your lawyer?" When Wei Heqing heard the news that Shen Zhao was going to divorce, he did not show much surprise.
"Yes. If you take my commission, you have to keep it a secret for me out of professional ethics, and there are some things... I can tell you with confidence. ”
Earlier, after Shen Zhao learned that Wei Heqing was a lawyer and his law firm, he secretly checked him with his mobile phone under the pretext of going to the bathroom, knowing that his winning rate was extremely high.
But when Shen Zhao said this, he suddenly thought of a little and hesitated: "Listening to you say that the cases you have taken over seem to be criminal proceedings?" That..."
"Rest assured, divorce litigation is also in my area of expertise." Wei Heqing smiled.
Outside the box, the residual rainwater on the leaves gradually evaporates.
When the clouds clear, the sun is about to come out.

After Shen Zhao returned home, her emotions were visibly high, and Aunt Zhang asked her what a good thing she had encountered.
"It's good for me, not necessarily for other people." Shen Zhao smiled and went upstairs.
After she told Wei Heqing about her current situation, Wei Heqing did not live up to her expectations, and after a simple analysis, quickly pointed out the biggest obstacle to Shen Zhao's divorce at present - Shen Zhao's mother.
Moreover, he also gave Shen Zhao a trick, which was enough to make Shen Zhao's mother change her mind.
Shen Zhao was happy precisely because of this incident.
However, for Shen Mu to change her mind, she also had to rely on the hand of another person. Shen Zhao took out his mobile phone, found the text message that Zhao Xiaoyu had sent her, wrote down her phone number, and dialed it.
Shen Zhao knew that Zhao Xiaoyu would agree. That time, when Zhao Xiaoyu asked her out, Shen Zhao saw it - she was very short of money.

Shen Zhao had been staying at home for the past few days and had never been out again. The work was stuck by the Qi family, she couldn't do anything, she was very idle, she turned out some old TV dramas to watch, to pass the time.
Of course, Shen Zhao had also been paying attention to Qi Bai's movements. He hadn't been to the company for a long time, and he had been working on the company's affairs in the study, and occasionally going out at night.
There is also the fact that Qi Bai is not only irritable now, but also moody, and it is difficult to serve very well. In terms of diet, he is also becoming more and more picky, and everything with a pungent smell cannot appear in front of him, otherwise it is a smashing plate.
This shouldn't be a symptom of light allergy, right?
Shen Zhao suspected that Qi Bai might also be addicted to drugs—he was getting thinner and thinner, and his limbs were weak and collapsed.
But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't make sense, Qi Bai will not close the door when dealing with affairs in the study, and if he wants anything, he will shout a voice, and Aunt Zhang downstairs will immediately send him to him when she hears it.
He was under Shen Zhao's eyelids almost all day, and he didn't shy away from people, where did Qi Bai come from to suck those things?
Moreover, after getting along day and night, Shen Zhao had never seen Qi Bai's drug addiction attack once. You know, this addiction has flared up, but I can't help but hide it.

On this day, Zhao Xiaoyu sent a message - "Things have been done well." ”
Shen Zhao was naturally happy, which meant that Shen Mother had most likely changed her mind.
She was about to go out to see Shen Mu to see how effective Zhao Xiaoyu's work was, and the mobile phone received a call.
It was Shen Chengxuan, her brother.
Shen Zhao frowned, this month Shen Chengxuan had already called her four times, and each time he asked her for money.
Or connect it, if you still want money to hang up. Shen Zhao thought so.
As soon as the phone was connected, Shen Chengxuan's anxious voice came from there: "Sister, my mother is in trouble!" We're in the dessert shop downstairs from my brother-in-law's company, and you're in a hurry—"
Before he could finish speaking, he screamed bitterly, and there was a chaotic sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground, glass breaking, and so on.
The phone was hung up.
Shen Zhao's heart suddenly lifted.
