Once Upon A One Night Stand

Chapter 73

At 2: 30 in the morning, Tang Zechen drove to an industrial park on the outskirts of the city. The

industrial park was dark, with only a few separated streetlights on, and an unusual chill was there in the

desolation.

Not far away, a black Santana 2000 was covered with dust. After checking the license plate number

which was the same as the text message, Tang Zechen got out of the car and walked over the car to

pull the door. It was unlocked.

In the door box of the driver's seat, there was a stack of photos sealed with a transparent plastic bag. It

was none other than Shu tian and Li Han.

Tang Zechen looked through them one by one, then returned to his car with the photos and dialed the

number.

"I found the things. It's too few!" As he spoke, Tang Zechen was still panting, feeling guilty, anxious, and

nervous.

"Young Master Tang, you are in a hurry. They are not ordinary persons. We have a lot of risk in taking

photos of them. It took a lot of effort to get these." His voice sounded very old, obviously, he used a

voice changer.

Tang Zechen gritted his teeth and took out a photo randomly. In the photo, Li Han helped Shu Tian out

of the restaurant, but that was all people could see from the photo. There was nothing else unusual. It

was really unconvincing to use these to prove that they had a good relationship.

"Well, I'll give you another month. The money is not a problem. You must take photos that directly

prove that Shu Tian and Li Han have a close relationship, understand?"

"Okay, I'll try my best."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Zechen received a call from Jiang Mengyao right away.

When he saw the caller's name, he was very upset and picked it up and spoke in an unfriendly tone.

"What are you going to do so late?"

The woman on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, seemingly aggrieved. "It's so late,

you're not back. Mom asked me to ask where you are..."

Ever since Shu Tian broke up with the Tang family completely, Liu Lifang asked Jiang Mengyao to call © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

her "mother-in-law" again.

For the future daughter-in-law, Liu Lifang treated her ten times better than Shu Tian who had married.

"You told mom?" Tang Zechen's face was instantly filled with anger. "Didn't I tell you? Don't tell mom

that I came out. What's wrong with you? Don't you understand my words?"

Jiang Mengyao always told Liu Lifang about him without his permission, which made Tang Zechen feel

restrained and forced for the first time. This feeling was not good and even made him a little resistant to

Jiang Mengyao.

When he was with Shu Tian, who would never do this. She would only help him hide it. Even if scolded

by Liu Lifang, she would never say anything bad about him.

Jiang Mengyao's voice softened. "Zechen, what have you been up to lately? I know the news has

affected you a lot. That bitch, Shu Tian..."

"Stop." Tang Zechen didn't want to listen to her and interrupted in an unfriendly tone. "You go to sleep

first. I'll drive back now."

Jiang Mengyao carefully said, "Please be careful on the road."

Tang Zechen hung up the phone immediately without giving her response.

He slammed his phone on the front of the steering wheel and leaned wearily against the seat. After

closing his eyes slightly, he picked up the phone again, checked the contact list, and accidentally saw

Shu Tian's phone number. After a pause, he suddenly remembered that they had just fallen in love.

Shu Tian timidly asked him if he could put her phone number on the first place of the phone number

list.

At that time, he agreed to do it without saying anything. She laughed secretly, but he felt that such a

request was too stupid. But to this day, he still remembered all of it.

He remembered all the things he thought were funny, boring, and even stupid. He could not help but

wonder how he felt at that time. Perhaps it was just his illusion. He had always been the one who lied

to himself.

If Shu Tian was willing to make up with him now, would he agree?

Tang Zechen curled his lips in self-deprecation. Although he didn't want to admit it, he still had to say

that he would agree.

He would agree without hesitation.

If everything could go back to the state before their divorce, he might restrain himself and gave more to

Shu Tian what she wanted.

But now it was too late, she had Li Han by her side. The man was better, more capable, and almost

invincible.

She had already gone far, and even if he stood where he was, nothing left.

Tang Zechen sat quietly for a while, restarted the car, turned on the high lights, looking at the night

outside in front of him. He suddenly merged with the darkness.

...

Day by day, when the Li Wei case came to trial, Ye Junting took her to meet Fan Ming privately again.

The familiar but strange feeling surrounded Shu Tian again. After leaving the company, she explained

to Li Han and then went straight back to HongYuan Community.

She hadn't come home for a long time, Ye Lihua and Shu Changlei cooked a lot of dishes that she

liked, mostly with sweet and sour flavors.

"Sweet and sour spare ribs. Your father made them. Try them."

"These are candied sweet potatoes. Dip some water before you eat it. This was your favorite when you

were a little girl. At that time, you could eat a plate of it yourself!"

"The shrimps were bought this afternoon. They might be a little stale, but it should be okay. The

eggplant juice stir-fried with tomato ketchup..."

At the table, Ye Lihua kept picking up food for her, but he sat down for a long time without eating

anything.

Shu Tian felt warm and a little sour. She always felt sorry that her parents still had to worry about her

when she was so old. She owed them too much.

"Mom, I'll take it myself. Please eat more."

Only then did Ye Lihua put some food in her bowl. "OK. You eat more. It's not easy for you to come

back. Your father and I both found that you became thinner."

After all, she was going to divorce Tang Zechen now. After she said that angry words, she still felt sorry

for her daughter. Especially, Tang Zechen did something wrong on this matter, the old couple panicked

at the thought of Shu Tian's grievances.

Shu Changlei didn't know how to express it, but silently got Shu Tian a bowl of soup. "Drink it while it's

hot."

Shu Tian noticed that Shu Changlei's hair had been growing grey fast recently, she felt uncomfortable.

After dinner, she sat on the sofa and took out a bank card from her bag, and put it on the table.

"What is this?" Ye Lihua did not understand what she meant.

Shu Tian said slowly, "Dad, mom, this is my salary for the past few months. It's all saved in this card. I

usually eat in the canteen, and I don't spend much money, no more than 20,000 yuan. You buy

something for the family."

"How can?" Before Ye Lihua could say anything, Shu Changlei had already objected. "You don't have

any money on you. Your mother and I have some savings. We don't need your money. It's filial piety if

you don't let your mother and I worry about you!"

"Dad..."

"Well, stop it. Your mother and I can't possibly accept your money. If we really want to be filial to us,

you should divorce as soon as possible and live your own life well." Shu Changlei put the card into Shu

Tian's bag.

They didn't break the stalemate, and Shu Tian did not force them, she could only obey Shu Changlei.

"By the way, dad, there's something I want to ask you." To put it bluntly, there was one more thing Shu

Tian had been worried about.

Shu Changlei was stunned. "What's the matter?"

Shu Tian pursed her lips slightly and lowered her voice, "About the case you investigated back then."

Shu Changlei's expression darkened at the mention of the lawsuit. "It's been so many years. Why are

you asking?"

Shu Changlei's attitude made Shu Tian feel even more abnormal. She asked tentatively, "Dad, do you

know Fan Ming?"

As she spoke, the teacup in Shu Changlei's hand suddenly slipped and fell to the ground, shattering

into pieces with a shuffling sound.
