There are not many clauses in the agreement, only three pages in total, in duplicate.

Ye Nian didn't look carefully, and asked the waiter to borrow a pen.

Song Jialan was surprised by Ye Nian's refreshment, her eyes flashed slightly, but she didn't say anything.

After signing the words, Ye Nian asked Song Jialan: "Do you want to press the handprint?"

Song Jialan didn't bring the ink, took out the lipstick and handed it to Ye Nian.

The lipstick is a limited edition, Song Jialan has not applied it a few times, Ye Nian has applied her thumb all over her fingers, and pressed her handprint.

Song Jialan said: "You can keep a copy." ”

"Nope. Ye Nian shook his head and said calmly, "I believe in you." ”

This contract has no legal significance, and it has no mandatory binding effect on Song Jialan, Ye Nian signed it, just to make Song Jialan feel at ease, so as to give Ye Nian time to investigate the real culprit behind the scenes.

Song Jialan's eyes were a little complicated when she looked at Ye Nian, and she didn't understand where Ye Nian's trust came from.

Ye Nian returned the pen to the waiter and reminded Song Jialan: "It's time for us to go buy wine, Madame will be in a hurry if we don't go back for too long." ”

Song Jialan put away the contract and took Ye Nian to a winery.

The person in charge of the winery had a good attitude towards Song Jialan and took them to the cellar to get three bottles of cellar red wine.

Back at Li's house, the maid had already decorated the house under Ye Wanqiu's command.

The place of activity is mainly in the back garden, the garden has been hung with colorful lights and beautiful colored silk, Ye Wanqiu also let people move a cypress tree, dressed as a Christmas tree, to make up for the regret of not being able to spend Christmas with Tang Yuzhou before, as soon as you walk in, it is like entering a fairy tale world.

Ye Nian didn't know how Tang Yuzhou would feel when she saw this scene, she was very envious when she saw this.

When she was a child, what she remembered the most was the smoky barbecue stall, no matter spring or summer, there were no holidays, as long as she had time, she would stay in front of the barbecue stall with her father.

She hasn't had any holidays, and her grandest birthday is just a bowl of longevity noodles, but unfortunately after her father is gone, she doesn't even have longevity noodles.

The maid took the wine and woke up first, and Ye Nian unconsciously walked to the Christmas tree.

Ye Wanqiu is generous, and the Christmas tree is hung with exquisite gift boxes, and you don't need to look at it to know that it contains good things of good value.

Ye Nian has seen the assistant's planning plan for Ye Wanqiu, and these gifts are to be distributed to everyone in the end, which can be regarded as the year-end bonus issued by Tang Yuzhou to employees.

Ye Nian could see that Ye Wanqiu was attracted to her and asked, "Is it good-looking?"

Ye Nian nodded, Ye Wanqiu noticed that the tails of her eyes were a little red, as if she remembered something sad, and was about to ask, Song Jialan came over and said, "Auntie, I have a friend named Fu Xize, I had a very happy meeting with Yuzhou before, and I want to come to today's party, is it okay?"

Ye Wanqiu hoped that Tang Yuzhou would make more friends, nodded in response, and Fu Xize quickly came to Li's house with gifts.

He behaved gently and politely in front of Ye Wanqiu, quite humble, Ye Wanqiu had a good impression of him, but in order to accompany Tang Yuzhou for his birthday at night, he went to rest after saying a few words with Fu Xize, and Fu Xize found Ye Nian.

Everything is done by the maid, Ye Nian is not busy, reading a book in the corner of the garden, Fu Xize walked directly to her and sat down.

Ye Nian's eyebrows did not move, and he looked at the book intently, as if he did not find Fu Xize.

Ye Nian's appearance has never been amazing, but he has a warm and quiet atmosphere, looking at the book at this time, he exudes a quiet bookish atmosphere from his bones, and under closer inspection, he is more attractive than Song Jialan.

Fu Xize kept staring at Ye Nian, his gaze was obscure and cold, like a beast that could eat people, and he might pounce on it and bite Ye Nian's throat at any time.

But this was in the Li family, and Ye Nian knew that he didn't dare to do it to himself, so he wasn't very afraid.

I don't know how long it took, Fu Xize said faintly: "You did a really clean job that night, but do you think I can't do anything about you?"

Ye Nian finally lifted his eyes and looked at Fu Xize.

He was born handsome, and in the past two years, he has become more and more demagogic under the camera, but at this time, there are several bruises on his face that have not dissipated, and Ye Nian found out when he first arrived at Li's house.

Ye Nian guessed that what he said should be related to him being beaten, and asked innocently, "What is Mr. Fu talking about?"

Fu Xize had already decided that Ye Nian and this matter could not escape, gritted his teeth and said: "Three years ago, I could make you unable to stay in Linhai City, and three years later, I can still make you become a street rat in Licheng that everyone shouts and beats." ”

Fu Xize's eyes were full of malice, and every word he said was full of threat, Ye Nian remembered that the last time he met him, his hostility was not so great.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Nian said, "If you are talking about the beating you this time, I can only tell you that I don't know." ”

The other party came for what happened three years ago, Ye Nian said that he didn't know, and his credibility here in Fu Xize was zero.

Fu Xize sneered, and didn't plan to say more to Ye Nian, the maid led Jin Yan over.

From a distance, Jin Yan saw that the atmosphere between Ye Nian and Fu Xize was unusual, and walked to Ye Nian's side at a slight speed.

Fu Xize immediately put away the coldness in his eyes, put on his usual mask, and looked at Jin Yan gently.

Fu Xize's face appears on the screen very frequently, and he is very recognizable even if he is injured, but Jin Yan hardly watches entertainment reports or film and television dramas, he knows Fu Xize through some investigative information.

Jin Yan didn't have a good impression of Fu Xize, so he inserted directly between the two, turned his back to Fu Xize and asked Ye Nian: "I don't think your face is very good, are you okay?"

Ye Nian shook his head and asked, "How is the teacher?"

Jin Yan didn't mean to say hello to Fu Xize, ignored him completely, only looked at Ye Nian and said, "It's nothing." ”

Jin Yan looked more worried about Ye Nian, Ye Nian put his mind at ease, the old lady's body should be fine, but she didn't want to see her again in the future.

Being regarded as a transparent person by Jin Yan, Fu Xize was a little unwilling, and took the initiative to speak: "My name is Fu Xize, I don't know this gentleman's surname?"

Jin Yan still ignored Fu Xize, grabbed Ye Nian's hand and said, "It's cold outside, let's go and sit inside." ”

Jin Yan should have something to say, Ye Nian nodded and stood up, and went in with Jin Yan, Fu Xize chased them for a long distance with his cruel gaze.

The two went back to the room where Ye Nian was now living, closed the door, and Jin Yan said to Ye Nian: "I went to see that person, but she refused to hand over the evidence, for fear of retaliation." ”

Whether it is the Tang family or the Song family, ordinary people can't afford to provoke it, and it is indeed difficult to be convincing only by Jin Yan's lobbying.

Ye Nian was not surprised by this result, if the person with the evidence was an upright and unyielding person, he would have found a way to hand over the evidence in his hand to Ye Nian two years ago.

Ye Nian raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "Tang Jue is too difficult to approach, I want to start with Song Jialan's side first." ”

As long as the suspicion of the Song family is ruled out, the only thing left is naturally Tang Jue.

Ye Nian said: "Tang Yuzhou didn't like me at the beginning, and it was an accident that I slept with him, it stands to reason that only me and him know, someone deliberately wanted to harm that child, and he must know that I had a relationship with him, and there will be clues to find out who leaked the news first." ”

Ye Nian didn't look good, but the direction was right, Jin Yan didn't express an opinion on Ye Nian's decision, and instead asked, "Have you considered my previous proposal?"

He was worried that something would go wrong with her and advised her to see a psychiatrist.

"I knew I was sick. Ye Nian said lightly, his eyelids drooping, weak and depressed, "I've been seeing a doctor and taking medicine, so there will be no problem." ”

Jin Yan majored in criminal psychology and didn't know much about psychotherapy, so he was relieved to see that Ye Nian didn't look like he was lying, and asked again: "What is Tang Yuzhou's plan for you?"

At the mention of Tang Yuzhou, Ye Nian's head hurt even more, and he didn't want Jin Yan to interfere, so he lied and said, "He wants to compensate me." ”

Jin Yan asked again: "He also knows about your illness?"

Ye Nian didn't say anything to Tang Yuzhou, and he shouldn't have noticed it, so he lowered his eyes and said ambiguously: "He has seen me take medicine." ”

Jin Yan was silent, he had just divorced, and his marriage was not handled well, and he didn't know how to deal with the problem of Ye Nian and Tang Yuzhou, so he could only say to Ye Nian: "I will continue to investigate here, if you need anything, you can find me." ”

He returned to Licheng this time, basically for Ye Nian.

Only when Ye Nian's things come to light can he prove his innocence two years ago.

Ye Nian's mood is different now, and he is no longer as resistant to the love owed to Jin Yan as before, suppressing the negative emotions that are surging up from time to time.

Jin Yan was inconvenient to stay in the house for too long, so he walked out of the room after speaking, and ran into Song Jialan as soon as he got downstairs.

It was a bit inaccurate to say that it was encountered, although Song Jialan's expression was very natural, Jin Yan still saw in an instant that she was deliberately waiting for herself.

Pretending not to see it, Jin Yan greeted with his head: "Miss Song, meet again." ”

Song Jialan glanced at Ye Nian's room, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jin and Nian Nian seem to have a good relationship. ”

Jin Yan didn't make excuses to cover up, and said frankly: "It's okay." ”

After the last time they met, Song Jialan investigated Jin Yan and knew that he was from a scholarly family, although he did not have such a rich family background as the Tang and Song dynasties, and his family background was not weak, but he usually acted in a low-key manner, so that people could not see it.

And in addition to her family background, Song Jialan also investigated some interesting things, and said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Jin used to be a teacher at C University, and he resigned two years ago due to some changes, I don't know what Mr. Jin is doing now?"

Jin Yan said: "Do some business, and you can still make a living." ”

Song Jialan blinked, looking puzzled, as if she didn't know anything, and deliberately asked: "C University is a century-old famous school, and the people who can teach in it are all extremely knowledgeable people, I don't know what kind of change made Mr. Jin give up such an institution?"

The last time we met, Jin Yan's attitude towards Song Jialan was not good, Song Jialan also deliberately exposed his scars this time, Jin Yan didn't feel embarrassed, and said calmly: "The reason behind it is a long story, if Miss Song really wants to know, you can log on to the school forum of C University when you have time, those gossips are still on the top of the forum, and Miss Song can search for them." ”

Song Jialan was a little surprised by Jin Yan's attitude, and was about to speak, Jin Yan continued: "I happened to see some news about Miss Song before, I thought Miss Song was too busy to take care of herself, but I didn't expect to be distracted and care about me, it seems that it is really as the news said, the marriage of the Tang and Song families is just a forced arrangement by the elders, and Miss Song doesn't like it." ”

Song Jialan frowned slightly, and was reminded by Jin Yan, her eyes darkened, revealing a gloomy and sad expression, and she said faintly for a while: "Sometimes, I really envy Niannian." ”

"Miss Song's family background and appearance are better than hers, what is there to envy?"

"Yuzhou and Mr. Jin are very protective of her, aren't they worthy of envy?"

"Miss Song also has many excellent suitors, and they have all made high-profile confessions of love, why should Miss Song envy others?"

Jin Yan's eyes were bright and he had the wisdom to know everything, Song Jialan looked away, didn't dare to look at him, and sighed and said, "That's different." ”

Jin Yan didn't speak again.

Song Jialan may want to show weakness in front of Jin Yan and let him know that although her family background and appearance tend to be perfect, she also has unsatisfactory points and needs to be cared for.

But she didn't know that Jin Yan was a straight man of steel, and she didn't know that Jin Yan would never sympathize with the weak, and would only use the logic of criminal psychology to analyze every word she said.

When it was almost seven o'clock, the people from Tang Yuzhou's company came to Li's house one after another, afraid that Ye Wanqiu would not be adaptable, Ye Nian first accompanied her to watch from the window on the second floor, and Song Jialan and Jin Yan received her downstairs.

Tang Yuzhou's company recruited all boys, looking only in their early twenties, wearing very trendy clothes, and all of them were curious and excited when they came in, in Ye Wanqiu's eyes, they were a group of children who had not grown up.

Let them move freely in the garden for a while, Ye Wanqiu relaxed, Ye Nian accompanied her downstairs, and the group of children immediately looked over.

Li Yingqiu's assistant should have told Ye Wanqiu's situation in advance, they didn't rush up, and greeted Ye Wanqiu in unison after Ye Wanqiu went downstairs: "Hello Mrs. Li." ”

Ye Wanqiu said softly: "Hello. ”

Still not able to speak in front of so many people, Ye Wanqiu was so nervous that her throat was dry, and she swept around and said, "Don't be restrained, let go and play, I'll rest in a while, don't care about me." ”

Everyone nodded, they didn't dare to be presumptuous, Ye Wanqiu stood for a while and asked Ye Nian to help her upstairs.

Ye Nian noticed that Ye Wanqiu's hands were a little cold, and asked in a low voice, "Is Madame okay?"

Ye Wanqiu nodded, Ye Nian sent her back to the second floor and poured her a cup of hot water.

Ye Wanqiu sat with hot water in her hand for a while, and said with a smile: "This group of children is very cute. ”

She recovered, her eyes shining two times brighter than usual.

Ye Nian was relieved, and was about to sit with her for a while before going down, Ye Wanqiu said, "I won't go down for a while, you young people have a good time." ”

These days, Ye Nian is watching with his own eyes how Ye Wanqiu is preparing for this birthday party, and how much he is looking forward to this day, he was stunned when he heard this, and then wanted to persuade him, Ye Wanqiu preemptively said: "If I am here, Yuzhou will be unhappy." ”

How so?

Ye Nian wanted to refute, but Ye Wanqiu sighed and said, "If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have suffered such a big crime, he was willing to come to live at home this time, I felt like a dream." ”

Ye Nian's nerves immediately tensed, and her intuition told her that Ye Wanqiu was talking about the kidnapping case.

Curiosity is human nature, Ye Nian wanted to know more details about that kidnapping case, but Ye Wanqiu's state was too bad, Ye Nian was afraid that it would stimulate her, so she could only hold her breath so as not to disturb her.

However, after a while, Ye Wanqiu just said to Ye Nian: "Yuzhou cares about you very much, if you can, I hope you can be more tolerant and understanding of him in the future." ”

It's the same as what the old lady of the Su family said to Ye Nian.

Ye Nian didn't respond, Ye Wanqiu said: "This kid is very stubborn, the people or things he thinks will not change, you don't have to worry about the future, he will deal with it, just believe him." ”

Ye Wanqiu's tone was too gentle, Ye Nian couldn't imagine how Tang Yuzhou could be involved in the kidnapping case because of her, and couldn't help asking: "Madam, ...... back then?"

As soon as he started, Li Yingwei went upstairs, and Ye Nian immediately stopped the topic.

Li Yingwei walked up to Ye Wanqiu, kissed her forehead as usual, and asked gently, "Why are you sitting here?"

Ye Wanqiu said: "It's quiet here, so I won't go down and mess with young people." ”

After getting along for so many years, Li Yingwei understood her temperament better, knew what she was worried about, and didn't force it, saying, "I'll accompany you." ”

Ye Wanqiu did not refuse, and urged Ye Nian: "Yuzhou is coming back soon, Niannian, you go down first." ”

Ye Nian bowed his head and turned around and went downstairs.

Everyone in the garden has already played, they all know Song Jialan, and asked Song Jialan for a few autographs, but they are all very sensible, and there is no particularly crazy star-chasing scene.

Ye Nian walked straight to Jin Yan's side, just wanted to talk to Jin Yan, felt several eyes fall on him, and when he turned around, he didn't find anything abnormal, and was wondering if it was his own delusion, Jin Yan handed Ye Nian a glass of hot milk and said, "They are looking at you." ”

Ye Nian didn't know them, and he didn't know what they saw him doing.

The last news didn't show Ye Nian's face, even if they were curious, it should be Song Jialan who was watching.

Ye Nian held the milk and didn't speak, and those scary eyes looked at it sneakily again.

Everyone was full of doubts: What is the boss going to do, let the nominal fiancée and the proprietress hold a birthday party together, is this because they are afraid that they will not be able to fight?

In the midst of everyone's doubts, the sound of an engine soon came from outside.

Tang Yuzhou is back.

The person who got the task before immediately picked up the ceremonial flower tube in his hand and squeezed to the entrance of the garden, someone turned off the lanterns first, and his vision fell into darkness, Ye Nian was stuffed with something in his hand, and then he was pulled forward, and he was unconsciously pulled to the front.

Tang Yuzhou turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and walked into the garden, and he didn't know who took the lead and shouted: "Boss, happy birthday!"

The fireflower tube was pulled apart, making a thumping sound, the colored lights were lit up again, and Ye Nian found that he was holding the birthday crown that was often attached to the birthday cake in his hand.

The crown is paper, although it is more delicate than the average one, but it is also quite inconsistent with Tang Yuzhou's temperament.

Tang Yuzhou stood at the entrance of the garden with his mobile phone, looking at the crown in Ye Nian's hand inquiringly.

Everyone began to sing happy birthday songs, coaxing Ye Nian to help Tang Yuzhou put on the crown, Ye Nian guessed that Tang Yuzhou would not wear it, and was about to hide the crown, but Tang Yuzhou turned off the flashlight and walked in front of her, and said in a deep voice: "I tiptoe." ”
