She quickly recovered her composure, didn't go to see Tang's mother, squatted down to clean up the stalks that had been cut off on the ground, and said, "I should be busy with work." ”

When she said this, her heart was raised, but fortunately, Tang Mu nodded and did not ask any more.

Song Yu stayed here for a whole afternoon, talking and walking with Tang's mother. She didn't leave until she went back to her room to rest after dinner in the evening.

Out of the small courtyard, Song Yu didn't know how to stop, looked back for a while, and then left.

She didn't go home, but took the car directly to the mahjong parlor. Because it was a weekend, there weren't many people on the bus, so she leaned her head against the glass window and looked sideways.

Although the sky is not completely dark, the city lights are already lit up one after another. Prosperous and lively.

Song Yu didn't know what he was thinking, so after looking at it for a while, he took out his mobile phone, edited the text message repeatedly for a while, and then sent it to Tang Xu. Ask him when he will go to get a divorce certificate.

Tang Xu's mind was completely unclear to her, the two had already signed a divorce agreement, but he had not gone to apply for a divorce certificate for a long time. He may be busy, but not so busy that he didn't have it in the short time he used to.

Obviously, he should be in a hurry to handle it.

There was no reply after the text message was sent, and Song Yu didn't expect him to reply immediately, so he put the phone back in his pocket and continued to look outside.

Until he arrived at the mahjong parlor, Tang Xu did not reply.

Because he knew that Brother Li had a relationship with Tang Chengen, Song Yu became more cautious and cautious. There were few people when she came over yesterday morning, but today it was probably because she came at night, and the mahjong parlor was very lively.

The smell of smoke and the sound of mahjong mixed together, a miasma of black smoke.

That Brother Li is not often here, it was her luck that she met someone yesterday, and she didn't see anyone until more than eleven o'clock tonight.

She had planned to find an excuse to go upstairs to have a look, but as she had done yesterday, she had been cut off. Said that the dead upstairs requires a guest with a reservation to go up.

Song Yu didn't insist, but kept paying attention to the movement of the staircase.

Nothing came today, and she left at twelve o'clock. Although she was a little anxious, she was so anxious that she could uncover the layers of darkness immediately. But at the same time, she also knew very well that this matter was urgent. Gotta wait for the right moment. If you are too eager to startle the snake, you will only lose more than you gain.

When I went to work the next morning, just after processing the manuscript in my hand, my colleague Xiao Luo came over, knocked on her desk, and said, "Xiao Song, the editor-in-chief asked you to come over." ”

She returned to her place.

Song Yu didn't know what the editor-in-chief called her, so she tidied up the table and walked over quickly.

When she reached the door of the office, she reached out and knocked on the door, and it was only after a while that the voice of the editor-in-chief came from inside, letting her in.

Song Yu pushed open the door and entered, and the editor-in-chief was signing the document. When he saw her go in, he simply asked her to sit.

Song Yu sat down, and the editor-in-chief looked up at her and asked, "How is the investigation of the little girl's disappearance?"

Song Yu said everything he had investigated, and also said that he guessed that it might be related to gambling. But she didn't mention the mahjong parlor, and she didn't have any evidence to prove it.

She originally thought that the editor-in-chief wanted to know the progress of this matter, but the editor-in-chief nodded and was silent for a while before saying, "You don't have to follow this matter anymore, I will arrange someone to follow up." ”

Song Yu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then asked, "Why?" This matter has always been her and Peng Xi running, how can you say that if you hand it over to others, you will hand it over to others?

The editor-in-chief didn't look at her, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, sighed, and said, "You are still too young, although you have been in the company for so long, but you are not very experienced. I'll arrange for a reliable person to run for this matter, and someone will come to you for handover later. ”

Since the oil mill incident, she and Peng Xi have been marginalized. The news of running is trivial. In normal times, she always does whatever she arranges. But there's clearly an inside story. If it were handed over to someone else, no one knew if it would be so big and small.

She took a deep breath and said, "I may not have enough experience, but please give me a chance, I will definitely work hard." Peng Xi and I have always been running around in this matter, and others will not be more familiar with the two of us. ”

Her tone was firm and unyielding.

The editor-in-chief was silent for a while, took off his glasses and wiped them, was silent for a while, and said: "You are following up on this matter, you should know that this matter will only become more dangerous the further it goes." ”

Song Yu naturally knew, so he said seriously: "I'm not afraid." ”

The editor-in-chief sighed and said, "I know you're not afraid, but Xiao Song, please don't embarrass me." ”

Song didn't know what he meant by this, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked, "What do you mean by this?"

She is no longer a rookie when she first entered the workplace, and she has some guesses in her heart.

The editor-in-chief didn't go around the bend with her anymore, and said directly: "Someone has said hello from above, and all dangerous things can't be involved in you." ”

Although he had expected it, Song Yu's face turned red when he heard this.

She didn't ask who was greeting, she took a deep breath, looked at the editor-in-chief, and said, "Anyway, I hope you can give me a chance." I'm an adult and I know what I'm doing. I wasn't afraid of danger, and if I had been afraid of danger, I wouldn't have chosen this profession in the first place. It doesn't matter who says hello, but it's me who calls the shots in my life. Dangerous or not, no one is qualified to interfere. ”

After a slight pause, she continued: "My life is life, but the lives of other colleagues are also lives. ”

When she said that, the editor-in-chief had already expressed appreciation in his eyes, and Song Yu originally thought that it would take some time to speak, but the editor-in-chief was very cheerful and said, "Okay, since you said that, I'll leave this matter to you." I hope you don't let me down. I'll take the pressure on it. ”

A smile appeared on Song Yu's face, he let out a long sigh of relief, bowed to the editor-in-chief, and said, "Thank you." ”

The editor-in-chief raised his hand and said, "Don't be busy thanking me yet, if you don't do a good job, I will remove you at any time and replace it with someone else." You know it's complicated, but you also need to be safe and remember not to be reckless. ”

Speaking of the latter, he was serious.

Song Yu nodded and thanked him. After a little hesitation, she still asked, "I want to ask, who came over to say hello?"

The editor-in-chief shook his head and said, "I don't know. Just said hello to me from above. ”

Song Yu didn't care if he really didn't know or if he didn't know, nodded and said thank you before leaving the office.

She let out a soft breath as she left the office, paused slightly, and then returned to her seat.

The coffee brewed on the table was still steaming slightly, she took a sip of the coffee, remembered what the editor-in-chief said that someone had said hello, and held the cup without moving for a while.

She had no idea who had greeted her. Is it Tang Xu?

She subconsciously shook her head, it couldn't be him. How could he possibly say hello.

It shouldn't be possible. She was marginalized only after the oil mill incident, and at that time, she had not met him.

Song couldn't think of who it was for a while, she reached out and rubbed her eyebrows, without thinking about it.

She never thought that someone would greet her, she always thought that it was because the oil mill was not done beautifully that she sat on the cold bench, but she didn't expect that someone would say hello.

She didn't know what she was thinking and didn't move, so she finished her coffee and started working after a while.

Song Yu didn't get any reply after sending a text message to Tang Xu, and he wanted to call, but in the end he didn't call.

She started to work aholic, and whenever she had time, she would go to the mahjong parlor. I also went to Xiao Nan's grandparents and asked if there was any news of Xiao Nan. The grandparents were indifferent and impatiently said no. Said let her go to the patrol.

Song Yu ran to the Patrol Bureau again, but the reply he got was that he was still investigating. Recently, the city did dismantle a child trafficking gang, but none of the rescued children were young. They also took photos of Xiao Nan to identify the main leaders of the gang, but several of the leaders said they had not seen her.

Song Yu asked for more details of the investigation, and was told that she needed to keep it secret and that she would be notified if there was any news.

Song Yu returned in vain, and went directly to the mahjong parlor. She was worried about Song Mian's affairs, and called Song Mian while she was in the car. But Song Mian didn't know what to do, and no one answered the phone.

She hesitated a little and called her aunt. After going to Sisi that day and finding no one there, there was no news from Zhao Ran's side.

Song Yu called her only to learn that her uncle knew about her going to find Sisi, and he was not allowed to go to find someone again, saying that it was completely up to Song Mian, as long as he was willing to break off, they could help solve whatever conditions the other party offered. But if he is not willing to break, it is useless to go to someone.

Zhao Ran quickly picked up the phone and said Ayu.

Song Yu called out to the eldest aunt, and then asked, "Has my cousin been home during this time?"

Zhao Ran sighed and said, "After coming back, your uncle didn't let him in." He even asked his aunt to put away his things and throw them to him. said that if he insisted on getting married, he would not come to the door again in the future. ”

Song Zhiqin can still be ruthless, but she is ruthless. Both have been in a cold war these days. He blamed her mother for being so corrupt and spoiled Song Mian.

Song Yu didn't know what to say at all, and comforted Zhao Ran for a while before hanging up the phone.

She was a little weak and didn't know what to do for a while. She didn't call Song Mian again, and put the phone back in her pocket.

She didn't go to the mahjong parlor again that day, so she ordered a snack at the snack bar at the intersection, and then chatted with the boss around the mahjong parlor. But didn't get any useful information.

That Brother Li didn't know how often he had come here, and Song Yu hadn't seen him since he saw him on the first night.

Then waiting for it was not an option, so she went to the mahjong parlor and mixed it up. boasting that there is such a mahjong parlor, Brother Li must have made a lot of money. From the mouth of the person guarding the mahjong parlor here, Brother Li's address was extracted.

He lives in a high-end community, which is expensive and has a large area, and it is not something that can be afforded by opening a mahjong parlor for a few years.

Song Yu couldn't find anyone in the mahjong parlor, so he went to the community and began to inquire. She didn't have a photo, and Brother Li was very low-key, so she couldn't find out anything.

It's been a few days and there is still no progress, so Song is a little discouraged. However, Peng Xi comforted her not to rush forward, she needed to be patient, and if she didn't pay attention to it, she would not only startle the snake, but she would also be in danger.

Song Yu had to calm down.

She's been going to the mahjong parlor a little too much lately, and it's easy to get noticed, so she's going to go over in a few days.

At noon that day, she was about to order takeout for lunch when her mobile phone rang.

The call was from Xiao Yun, and Song Yu's movements paused and picked it up. As soon as he fed it, Xiao Yun on the other end of the phone said politely: "Mr. Tang asked me to come and pick you up and take you to the Civil Affairs Bureau." ”

He hadn't called in advance, it was quite sudden.

Song Yu responded very calmly, asked him to wait a while, and she went downstairs immediately.

It's lunch break now, but she may not be able to come back in time for work, Song Yu sent a text message to Peng Xi while going downstairs, telling her that she was going to go out, and if she didn't come back on time later, let her help prevaricate.

Peng Xi was busy and probably didn't read the big text message, and didn't reply.

Xiao Yun was waiting on the side of the road, and Song Yu opened the car door when he passed. Song Yu said thank you.

No one spoke along the way, thinking that Tang Xu was waiting at the Civil Affairs Bureau, but he didn't. He wasn't there when she arrived.

Xiao Yun took out his mobile phone to call him, and he didn't know where he was. After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yun said to Song Yu: "I can't go to work until I can go to work later, Mr. Tang is eating nearby, let me take you over." ”

Song Yu said at this time: "No, you go and get busy with you, I'll wait for him here." ”

It's a little bit more now, and I can't wait long.

Xiao Yun's face showed embarrassment, and he said, "Mr. Tang should still have something to talk to you about, please don't embarrass me." ”

Song Yu didn't say anything at this time, and walked to the car after a while.

Xiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief, walked over quickly and opened the car door.

When she arrived, Tang Xu seemed to have just arrived, and she hadn't ordered food yet. He must have just come from the company, dressed in a formal suit. It looks like a human.

It was obviously inappropriate not to say hello, and Song Yu nodded slightly towards him.

Tang Xu held a cigarette between his fingers, raised his chin towards her, and said succinctly, "Sit." ”

Song Yu sat down, he pushed the menu in front of her, and said, "Look at what to eat." ”

He used to be self-centered, and there were few times when he was so gentlemanly.

Song Yu didn't order, pushed the menu back in front of him, and said, "You can eat anything." ”

Tang Xu didn't look at the menu, he glanced at her with a smile, and said, "Order, break up the meal." Count me in. ”

Song Yu didn't say anything, took the menu and ordered.

Based on the principle of not wasting, she ordered two dishes and one soup, and pushed the menu back in front of Tang Xu. Tang Xu didn't look at it, called the waiter, and slowly ordered: "Serve all your signature dishes here." ”

The waiter answered yes and went down with the menu.

There were only two of them left in the private room, and Song Yu couldn't find anything to say, so he picked up the teacup and drank the tea.

Tang Xu also didn't speak, and smoked. The room was eerily quiet for a while.

Xiao Yun said that he had something to talk about, but Tang Xu didn't say anything after sitting for a long time. Song Yu finally couldn't hold back and asked, "What's the matter?"

The divorce agreement had been signed, and there was nothing separable between the two, and she didn't know what else to talk about between them on the matter of divorce.

Tang Xu slowly dusted off the cigarette ash in his hand and said, "Can't we eat together if it's okay?" Mrs. Tang is already planning to never get along with me now?"

He doesn't smile at him. Song Yu didn't say anything at this time.

Tang Xu didn't speak again, let alone mention that he was about to marry Kong Fan.

The dish was quickly delivered, and Tang Xu raised his chin and motioned for Song Yu to eat.

Eight or nine dishes were served one after another, and Song Yu was not polite and began to eat. However, Tang Xu had been smoking all the time, and he didn't mean to move his chopsticks. After a long while, he extinguished the cigarette butt and drank half a bowl of soup himself.

Halfway through the meal, he spoke: "Don't tell the small courtyard about the divorce yet." ”

This is to hide it from Tang's mother.

It's an eventful time, and it's normal that he doesn't want to talk about it. Song Yu nodded at this point and said hello.

Tang Xu didn't speak anymore for a while, and the private room fell silent again.

Song Yu ate quickly, and put down his chopsticks after a while. Tang Xu didn't eat much, she put down the chopsticks and stood up and said, "Go over." ”

It's almost two o'clock, and it's time for the staff over there to go to work.

Song Yu nodded and stood up.

Tang Xu walked ahead, and suddenly stopped when he reached the door. Song Yu was not afraid that he would suddenly stop and almost hit him.

She stopped in time and looked up at Tang Xu suspiciously.

Tang Xu's face was smiling, a pair of slightly hooked peach blossom eyes fell on Song Yu's body, the corners of his lips hooked, and asked, "Why do you feel that Mrs. Tang is a little impatient?"

There was something playful in his tone.

Song Yu didn't look at him, and said, "Mr. Tang said the opposite, your wedding date is coming soon, and the time should be quite urgent." ”

Her tone was flat, without any waves.

I don't know how these words touched Tang Xu's scales, the smile on his face retracted, and he looked at Song Yu with some playfulness.

Song Yu was horrified by his eyes, looked at the time and changed the topic, and said, "I still have to go to work in the afternoon." ”

Tang Xu didn't speak again, and began to walk outside without saying a word.
