Ye Xinyi looked at this message and was stunned for a while, making sure that she was not mistaken, the message was about Beibei's mother.

She couldn't help but wonder why Beibei's mother appeared at this time and wanted to meet her.

After hesitating for a moment, he replied to the message and asked her where she was.

Since it is Beibei's mother, then it is He Yan's predecessor, who came to the door, and always wants to see her, she is more curious about what kind of person Beibei's mother is.

The message was replied quickly and she was sent a geographical location, not far from the school.

Ye Xinyi didn't let Xiao Chen send her, and walked over by herself.

In a café, a woman in a dark green dress sat by the window, with a cup of coffee in front of her, her slender fingers gently stirred, and her long black hair scattered casually around her waist.

Ye Xinyi saw such a scene when she walked to the door, but she didn't really see it from the side.

After entering the door, he walked directly over and asked softly, "You are Beibei's mother?"

"It's me. The woman's voice smacked of a mature woman, pointing to the opposite position, "Sit down." ”

Ye Xinyi sat down, the waiter came over and asked her what to drink, and she ordered a cup of honey grapefruit tea.

Looking up at the woman opposite, she was wearing delicate makeup, covering up the traces of time on her face, but she could still see a trace of fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and the eye makeup was very thick.

"You know what? This shop is best known for its coffee. The woman took a sip of her coffee from her cup, "Because their beans are all dried and polished by themselves, I think you can try them." ”

Ye Xinyi smiled politely, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't drink coffee recently." ”

The woman's gaze paused slightly, shifted to the table and looked at Ye Xinyi's lower abdomen, as if she had noticed something, and said with a smile: "Also, the body is the most important." ”

The waiter quickly brought the honey grapefruit tea, and after Ye Xinyi said thank you, she didn't have any more words.

The woman looked at her, today Ye Xinyi wore a light blue skirt of cotton and linen, the neckline of the V-neck lined Ye Xinyi's skin white, and the necklace in her neck also swayed with the action of speaking.

Her gaze stared at the necklace for a second time, then shifted to her face.

Before meeting her, she had already seen reports on the Internet that Ye Xinyi was still a college student, and she did look like a student from the outside, and she was a little childish and had not faded away.

"You came to me, did you want to stare at me here?" Finally, Ye Xinyi spoke first.

The woman smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I saw that you were so young, I thought of when I was young, and I forgot to introduce myself yet, my name is Ren Anqing." ”

"I am ......"

"I know your name. Before she could finish speaking, Ren Anqing interrupted her, "I heard the news on the Internet some time ago, and of course I know what your name is." ”

Ye Xinyi didn't speak, thinking about what she wanted to ask.

Ren Anqing said with a kind smile, as if chatting with a friend: "Seriously, I didn't expect Ah Yan to find a girl who is so much younger than herself." ”

Ah Yan......

This title was once called by Fan Jinghan, and it was only for close people that it would be like this.

"It's only eight years old. Ye Xinyi disagreed.

"Yes, nowadays many little girls like older uncles than themselves and feel safe, but they don't know that mature men actually prefer people who are the same age as themselves and have a common language. ”

Ren Anqing said, her eyes glanced at Ye Xinyi's reaction, she always had a calm expression, and there were no mood swings.

"If it's really that smaller, what should you say in a chat?

"I don't know. Ye Xinyi smiled faintly, lowered her head and took a sip of water, and the sweet and sour taste instantly suppressed the bitter feeling in her heart.

Ye Xinyi is a smart person, of course she can hear the meaning of her words, isn't it just that there is no common topic between her and He Yan?

I don't know what her purpose is, so I didn't answer this conversation.

Ren Anqing talked for a while, and seeing that Ye Xinyi did not fluctuate, the topic shifted to Bei Beina.

"Is Ren Sihan very cute now?

Ye Xinyi looked at her suspiciously, Ren Sihan, Is that Beibei's name?

She and Bei Bei have been together for so long, and she really hasn't heard anyone call Bei Bei's real name, including when she went to school to go through the formalities, He Qi followed up, and she didn't see the name on the household registration.

"I'm sorry, don't you know that Bei Bei has my surname, right?" Ren Anqing was suddenly surprised.

Ye Xinyi smiled slightly, "I have a good relationship with Beibei, of course I know." ”

"That's good, I thought Ah Yan didn't tell you, I'm really afraid you'll be angry. ”

Ye Xinyi shook her head, "How could it be?" I heard that you rarely see her, and Bei Bei doesn't have much impression of you. ”

Ren Anqing's face changed slightly, and then returned to normal, "It's not because I'm busy with work all year round, how can I have time, you know, it's not easy for women, let alone a woman with children?" ”

"I heard that you and Ah Yan are getting married?" Suddenly, she asked.

Ye Xinyi looked at her in surprise, the marriage was only known to the He family and He Yan's friends, how did she know?

"You don't have to be surprised, after all, my daughter is in the He family, of course she will always keep in touch, I also talked to Sister He Qi on the phone yesterday, listen to what she said, then congratulations to you." ”

Ye Xinyi stared at her for a long time, and Ren Anqing didn't show displeasure when she said congratulations.

Taking the time to meet her doesn't just mean saying congratulations, right?

Ye Xinyi didn't believe that it was just that simple.

The phone in the bag rang, and it was a message from George, asking if she had set off.

Ye Xinyi replied after waiting for a few minutes, and said, "I'm sorry, I have something to go first in a while." ”

"You learned to paint?" Ren Anqing suddenly asked, she saw the handbag next to Ye Xinyi, printed with the gallery logo.

Ye Xinyi nodded.

"I really envy you girls who study art, you have a kind of literary atmosphere, where is like me, I have long been polished by this society and forgotten what I like. Ren Anqing said with emotion.

"Huh?"

"I used to study photography and am now a photographer. Ren Anqing explained.

Photography...... It's still relatively close to her painting major, but it's also a conflict.

"I really can't see it. ”

Ren Anqing stroked the hair on her ears, drank the coffee, looked at her necklace and said, "Your necklace is very beautiful, was it given to you by Ah Yan?"

Ye Xinyi didn't deny it, but saw that she took out a box from her bag and opened it to contain a necklace with a similar material and color to the one around her neck.

Ren Anqing held it in her hand, and the pendant slipped in front of her eyes and dangled.

Ye Xinyi could see it very clearly, and there were also two letters on it, which made her eyes hurt a little.

Ah Yan is still the same as before, he likes to send such a token of love. ”

Ren Anqing said it very casually, but in Ye Xinyi's sound, it revealed something else.

Is it a token of love?

The good carry-on that is still preserved is to tell her that there is still a relationship between them, and it is possible to be together again?

The smile that Ye Xinyi had been maintaining gradually faded.

"Miss Ren, if there is nothing else to do, I will leave first. Ye Xinyi got up and left.

When she walked behind her, she heard Ren Anqing say casually: "All professions in the world are very easy to do, but it is difficult to be a stepmother, you are still young, you shouldn't want to be the stepmother of other children so early, right?"

"I never felt that I was Beibei's stepmother, I was friends with her, and Miss Ren couldn't be a friend in her life. ”

Ye Xinyi glanced back, Ren Anqing sat on the chair, and only saw her thick hair.

After saying that, he walked out of the café.

When Ren Anqing heard this, he clenched the hand holding the cup hard.

Coming out of it, Ye Xinyi called Xiao Chen and sent her back to Jiangnan Yipin.

After waiting for two minutes, Xiao Chen drove to the side of the road, and saw that Ye Xinyi's face was not very good, so he hurriedly got down and opened the car door to let her get in the car.

"Miss Ye, you don't look well, do you want to take you to the hospital?"

"No, I want to go back and rest. ”

No matter how calm she pretended to be inside, Ye Xinyi's heart still fluctuated.

After leaning back on the seat and taking a deep breath, I felt a little relieved, but when I thought of what Ren Anqing said just now, it was not very comfortable.

Send a message to George and tell him that he has something to do today.

George replied to tell her to take care of her own business first.

When she arrived at Jiangnan Yipin, Ye Xinyi asked Xiao Chen to wait for a while and went to the bathroom to wash her face.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she can clearly see the subtle hairs on her face without makeup, everyone has praised her for her good looks since she was a child, and she is a pure little girl without makeup.

Her skin and appearance have been inherited from her mother, and being young and good-looking has become her capital.

But now she doesn't think so.

There will always be a day when the appearance will grow old, but what is eternal and unchanging?

Maybe it's love and family affection, as long as it's involved, there's always a chance.

The necklace that fell on her neck reminded her of the one in Ren Anqing's hand, which was exactly the same as hers except for the letters.

still remembers that when she watched the fireworks that day, the moment He Yan took out the necklace unexpectedly, she was happy.

And now it's a little disgusting.

Ye Xinyi thinks that she is not a person with a habit of cleanliness, but she has always been reluctant to share some things with others.

For example, He Yan, and everything that He Yan has.

Raise your hand, unbutton the necklace, and place it on the sink.

Turned around and went to the closet to get two sets of changes of clothes and put them in the bag, came out of the room, took care of Aunt Zhang, and if the old villa didn't pick up Bei Bei at night, let her go over to pick it up.

Aunt Zhang saw that she had taken something and asked, "Aren't you coming back tonight?"

"I go sketching, maybe it will be late or maybe I won't come back. ”

Of course, this was to fool her, Aunt Zhang didn't ask more, and only asked her to pay attention to safety.

Tell Xiao Chen to go to Lin Yuan.

Her rental house had been disposed of by He Yan before, and now the only place she could go was Du Xuan's residence.

At the gate of the community, Ye Xinyi asked him to park.

"Miss Ye, shall I send you inside?" Xiao Chen saw that she had taken a lot of things and offered to help.

Ye Xinyi politely refused, "No need, I can do it myself, you can go back." ”

Du Xuan was stunned when he saw Ye Xinyi, who was standing at the door with two large bags of things, and hurriedly took it.

"Why are you here?"

"Come to stay with you for two days, am I not welcome?"

Du Xuan felt that something was wrong, he lived well with He Yan, and when he came to her, there must be something.

Help her put things down and not hang them in the closet.

He took out his freshly made fruit salad and pulled her to sit down on the sofa.

"Did you quarrel with He Yan?"

Ye Xinyi shook her head, "No." ”

"Are you still hiding it from me?

"Bebe's mother came looking for me. Ye Xinyi ate a slice of apple and spoke slowly.

Du Xuan heard her say something about Beibei, and was still surprised when he heard the news.

"What is she looking for you for? Is it possible that she still wants to take the child away?"

"Just talk. Ye Xinyi looked ahead with blank eyes, and said a little absent-mindedly, "You say, two people who have children involved, will they get back together?"

That's what worries her.

I don't know how He Yan and Ren Anqing were separated at the beginning, but looking at Ren Anqing's appearance, there should have been some misunderstanding between them that led to the separation.

If there is a child in the middle, will it be like most people, for the sake of the child, to get back together and give the child a complete family?

Ye Xinyi didn't know, and she couldn't figure out He Yan's thoughts.

"You'll have to ask your family for a congratulatory message. Du Xuan doesn't know much about this.

mentioned someone, Ye Xinyi's phone rang, it was a call from He Yan.

Looking at the name flashing on the screen, Ye Xinyi hesitated for a while before answering, "Hey?"

"When does sketching end?"

"It's not clear. Ye Xinyi's voice was very small, and she couldn't lift her energy.

He Yan seemed to hear that she was not in high spirits, and said: "When you are tired, go back and rest, I made an appointment with the Civil Affairs Bureau in the afternoon." ”

They said they wanted to get a certificate......

Ye Xinyi thought of Ren Anqing and what she said today.

"I might have finished late, another day. ”

He Yan didn't speak, only heard someone on the other end of the phone calling him, as if he was in a hurry.

"You have a job to get busy first, the signal on my side is not very good. After Ye Xinyi finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

He Yan really wanted to say something, but he heard a beep in his ear, and the phone had hung up.

His intuition told him that Ye Xinyi was not very happy today.

Du Xuan heard the content of the conversation with the tip of his ears, and also heard the Civil Affairs Bureau mentioned by He Yan, and leaned over, "You are going to get a marriage certificate?

"I don't think so. ”

"Sister!" Du Xuanzheng didn't know what to say about her, "You said that you went to great lengths to get close to He Yan, didn't you just want to get rid of everything in the past, don't worry about food and clothing, and help your mother heal? Now that Mrs. He's position is already beckoning to you, you actually retreated? Or is it not the Ye Xinyi I know?"

Du Xuan's words are also right, her purpose from the beginning was this.

Escape from the current predicament, and don't want to look at other people's faces for money.

However, Ye Xinyi still has a concern in her heart.

If she really married He Yan, if he and Ren Anqing got back together one day in the future, wouldn't she be a woman who was married for the second time?

It is said that men who marry for the second time are popular, and he is a congratulatory word, where can he not find a woman?

She is different, she already has a past that she doesn't want to mention, and she will be even more sad in the future after carrying the reputation of a woman who was abandoned by her second marriage and congratulations.

This is not the situation that Ye Xinyi wants to see.

So, to be on the safe side, let's postpone it.

In fact, now as He Yan's girlfriend, she doesn't have to worry about anything, her mother's medical expenses are enough for half a year, and she has a little savings in her hand.

Do you really want to respond to what I said to He Junjun before, leave the city, and find someone who no one knows her to live?

I didn't say these words to Du Xuan, and I still had to carry some things by myself.

Du Xuan saw that she was in a bad state, so he asked the store manager for leave to accompany her at home.

Ye Xinyi's mobile phone vibrated twice next to it, prompting that there was a message.

When I opened it, it was an unfamiliar number, and I wrote: I'm downstairs with you.

The number is Shen Chumo's.

How did you know she was here at this time?

Ye Xinyi looked at it, deleted the message, got up and picked up the small half bag of garbage in the trash can, and said, "I'll go downstairs and throw away a garbage." ”

"Hey, I'll ......"

As soon as Du Xuan came out of the room, Ye Xinyi had already closed the door and went out.

In the shade of the trees downstairs, I saw Shen Chumo, who was very energetic in a suit, and he should have slipped out at work.

Ye Xinyi threw away the garbage and walked over and asked, "How do you know I'm here?"

"I've been watching you for the past two days. Shen Chumo didn't hide it, his eyes looked at Ye Xinyi's body, and found that her face was not very good, thinking of the scene when he was in the hospital that day.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"Chen Ling knows that you came to me on purpose just to care about me?" Ye Xinyi ignored his question.

"When we talk to each other, can we not mention others?"

Ye Xinyi chuckled, "Chen Ling is someone else in your eyes, I'm sorry, I don't want to talk to you at all if I don't mention others." ”

treats her predecessor, Ye Xinyi never soft-hearted.

"I know you have a grudge against me, and I can understand that, but I just don't seem to be feeling well, remember to take care of yourself. ”

"Naturally, someone cares about my business, and I don't bother you, and if you come to me to talk about this, then you don't have to. After speaking, Ye Xinyi turned around and went upstairs.

Shen Chumo stopped her, "You were in the hospital that day in the obstetrics and gynecology department, right? I saw you." ”

Ye Xinyi stopped, turned around and asked, "What?"

"I heard my uncle say that you are getting married because you have children?" Shen Chumo frowned, as if he was unhappy.

Ye Xinyi just smiled, didn't deny or admit it, "It's none of your business." ”

"I just want to remind you to think clearly before making a decision. ”

"Huh. Ye Xinyi laughed out loud, looking at his serious face, she smiled even more happily.

"Shen Chumo, you yourself have already been happy, why don't you let others be happy?" Ye Xinyi pointed to the trash can next to her and said, "Do you know, you are like the garbage I threw away just now, I don't even look at what can be thrown away, don't bother me in the future." ”

In the last sentence, Ye Xinyi no longer said it with a smile.

Shen Chumo looked at her upstairs with a complicated expression.

"How do you take so long to take out the trash?"

"I saw a wild cat and teased for a while. ”

Du Xuan looked puzzled, when did there be a wild cat in this community?

……

In the evening, after He Yan arrived home, he didn't see a familiar figure in the living room, and there was no one in the room or upstairs studio, so he knew that Ye Xinyi hadn't come back yet.

I dialed the phone, but no one answered until the end of the ring.

I guess I was busy and didn't see my phone, so I didn't call again.

When I went back to my room to wash my hands and prepare to change my clothes, I saw the necklace on the washstand, which was still stained with water, and it didn't look like it had been placed here a long time ago.

He Yan remembered that before going out in the morning, Ye Xinyi was still wearing it.

"Sister Zhang. He Yan called Aunt Zhang, "Has Xinyi come back?"

"Well, I came back halfway, took my things and left. ”

Came back to leave the necklace behind?

This is not Ye Xinyi's style, He Yan's intuition told him that Ye Xinyi did not go to sketching.

Saying that there was no need to prepare dinner, I grabbed my car keys and went out.

The car drove downstairs to Shanglin Yuan, and made a second call to her, which rang for a long time before answering.

"Where?"

"I'm still out drawing, and it's just over. Ye Xinyi and Du Xuan were just chasing the drama after dinner, so she asked her to turn down the volume.

Even if she lied to He Yan over the phone, Ye Xinyi's heart was still a little empty.

"Really?" He Yan got out of the car and looked upstairs, the living room was lit up, if he remembered correctly, Du Xuan should be at work tonight.

"Of course, you still don't believe me?"

"If you don't want your friend to lose his job, give you a minute to go downstairs. ”

Ye Xinyi panicked, ran to the window and looked down, and sure enough, she saw He Yan standing next to the car, and was about to ask him how she knew she was here, but the phone had hung up.

Ye Xinyi hurriedly went downstairs, and when she walked out of the corridor, her pace slowed down, and she was a little scared.

He Yan leaned against the car door, not smoking, and looked down at his phone.

Hearing the sound of slowly approaching footsteps, he looked up and saw Ye Xinyi, who was weak-hearted, and pulled her into his arms with a big hand.

"Aren't you painting outside?" He Yan's eyes were fixed on her, and there was no joy or sorrow in his tone.

Ye Xinyi tried hard to pull out a smile, but began to stutter when she spoke, "Yes...... yes, just over. ”

"Lying. ”

"That...... I actually ended it a long time ago, thinking that I hadn't come to Du Xuan for a long time, so I ......" Ye Xinyi was still trying to round the lie, and her eyes subconsciously looked to the upper right.

He Yan has been in the mall for many years, how can he not see that Ye Xinyi is lying?

Moreover, psychological research has shown that if a person lies, his eyes will unconsciously look to the upper right, and she will occupy them all.

"Is there a man hidden upstairs?" He Yan didn't listen to what she said specifically and came to a conclusion.

"Huh?" Ye Xinyi looked at him with a confused expression, and hurriedly denied it, "How is it possible!"

"Then why did you take the necklace off?"

Ye Xinyi touched her empty neck, although she had only been wearing it for a few days, she was used to having something here, and she was really uncomfortable with taking it down suddenly.

She was hesitant to tell He Yan that his ex-wife had come to her.

He Yan looked at her, as if she was looking for some suitable reason to prevaricate.

Take out your mobile phone and dial the number, "There is a person named Du Xuan in the store, and I don't have to go to work from tomorrow......"

"Hey!" Ye Xinyi covered his mouth to prevent him from talking, so she didn't want to hurt her friend because of her own business, "I said it's not okay." ”

The phone shook in front of her eyes, and there was a phone on the screen somewhere.

Ye Xinyi shook off her hand and said angrily: "You lied to me!"

"You lied to me first. He Yan looked at her angry look and smiled, "Have you figured out the reason?"

Ye Xinyi didn't have time to think of a reason, even if she had, she was scared just now.

I looked up at him and decided that I should be honest.

After all, she still didn't have the courage to say the word ex-wife in front of He Yan, "Ren Anqing came to me today, and I saw the same necklace as mine in her." ”

After speaking, he didn't dare to look at him anymore when he heard Ren Anqing's name, reminiscing about his past expression and looking down at his feet.

Because she didn't know what his expression was, there was a few seconds of silence, Ye Xinyi felt like a year, thinking about what to say, He Yan opened her mouth.

"So you're upset?"
