Ding dong!

The elevator doors slowly opened, and two men in suits quickly stepped out of the elevator and hurried through the corridor leading to the office area.

"The regular meeting will be held on time at nine o'clock, and the invitation letter for the opening ceremony of Island A Resort has been sent, and the investment plan of the investment department for the five-star hotel in the old city will be sent this afternoon. ”

After Ah Yuanli finished his report, he handed the document in his hand to be signed and sealed to the man in front of him.

"Inform the marketing department, be sure to submit the marketing plan within this week, I read the report of the sales department, last month's performance was unsatisfactory, you asked General Manager Lin to come to me in the afternoon. ”

"Yes, Mr. Xue. ”

Yuan nodded, pushed the door of the VP's office open, put the coffee on the large desk in the middle of the office, and was about to turn around to go about his own business, when he was stopped by a voice behind him.

"By the way, A-Yuan, you go home first after work today and tell Aunt Qi that I'll be late. ”

"Okay, the car is for you. ”

After Ah Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and left, Xue Rin hung his coat on the hanger, picked up the coffee on the table and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking into the distance of the city, and fell into deep thought.

----

As night falls, pedestrians come and go, and the old streets come alive at this time, and the restaurants and bars in the entire street are lit up, and the noisy nightlife officially begins.

"Welcome!"

The crisp bell rang at the door, and Yue Qun, who was standing in front of the cashier to count the money, was so busy that he didn't even raise his head.

"What, I don't understand the account again?"

Yue Qun raised his head in surprise, "Why are you here again?

Xue Rin tilted his head and sat down in the corner he was used to.

"Wife, Xue Rin is here again!" Yue Qun walked out from behind the cash register and shouted towards the storage room behind him.

After a while, You Jia, who was wearing an apron, walked out of the storage room, "Xue Rin, here you go again!

Xue Rin got up and said with a smile: "It's still my sister-in-law who is good to me, but it's still the same, and it's troublesome for my sister-in-law." ”

You Jia smiled and waved her hand, but was stopped by Yue Qun on the side.

"Wife, I'll just go, you can rest for a while, don't be tired of yourself and our baby. ”

Yue Qun stroked You Jia's bulging belly, and after placing her in the seat opposite Xue Rin, he ran to the back kitchen.

"Sister-in-law, how are you doing lately?"

"Everything is fine, Yue Qun won't let me do anything now, and I have been deprived of my little hobby of making coffee. ”

It has been two years since the café opened, and it is all managed by Yue Qun and You Jia from the location to the decoration design, and the style and food of the café are quite popular with petty bourgeois men and women and literature lovers.

Two years ago, the escape allowed Yue Qun to recover You Jia, who had decided to leave, although the two were partners in the A Island development project, but after all, they were loyal to the two competing groups, in order not to fall behind, the two who had worked hard in the mall for many years both resigned and decided to live the days of idle clouds and wild cranes.

Yue Qun proposed to open a café, because for him, the café was a place for him to regain his past, but You Jia wanted to open a flower shop, so after weighing it, a café with the theme of flowers and Edgar Allan Poe literature was born.

In addition to the variety of pour-over coffee and desserts, what made the café famous on the street was the proprietor's only private chef's dish, beef and radish soup.

"You want to rest more now, anyway, Brother Yue is a master who can't be idle, so you let him toss. ”

Even Xue Rin couldn't have imagined that Yue Qun, who had experienced several ups and downs in the business world, would be willing to bend his waist for love, and in the past two years of marriage, he has not only become an expert in housework, but also a chef in the family, and man is really an elusive animal.

"We don't want to make any money by opening this store, just to do something, and we don't feel tired if we don't have pressure, but you, you are now a VP, and you have to manage the affairs of several departments, which must be very hard, but you must remember to be moderate. ”

Xue Rin pursed his lips and smiled, the past two years were not just "hard" for him, they were two years like nightmares, two years like eternal night.

The car accident two years ago nearly killed him, with three broken ribs, a broken leg bone, no intact place in his body, and most fatally, both of his kidneys, one of which was directly ruptured, and the other was pierced by a broken bone.

Fortunately, he was hopeless and got a matching donor kidney in time, and the operation was successful, he survived, but when he woke up, his heart died.

The woman, who had been screaming even when he was unconscious, left silently, leaving him with nothing but painful memories.

"I'm okay, all departments are quite cooperative, and Ah Yuan is here to help me share a lot of work. ”

Xue Rin in front of him has already cut off his long hair, and he can no longer see the flamboyance and recklessness of the past in his eyes, but is more gloomy and calm, after recuperating at home for half a year, he returned to the company, and since then he has started a life of only asking about work and not talking about feelings.

"Xue Rin, just do your best in everything, don't work too hard, I heard Yue Qun say, Island A Resort is about to open, you have been staring at this project for so long, it's time to give yourself a vacation. ”

"Let him take a vacation, I'm afraid it's even more difficult than climbing to the sky!"

As soon as You Jia's words fell, Yue Qun walked over with a tray.

"Come on, your old ways. ”

"Thank you, Brother Yue. ”

Xue Rin put the lemon honey tea and a piece of hawthorn cheese in front of him on the tray, lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time.

"Xue Rin, don't blame your sister-in-law for being too talkative, I'm not just a living example, I originally thought that there could be no other hope for this life except work, but later I found out that I was too pessimistic, and the people and things that hurt me were actually long gone, and what made me dare not open my heart was just my inner demon. ”

After Yue Qun finished speaking, he gently hugged You Jia's shoulder.

Xue Rin didn't respond, he picked up the fork and put the hawthorn cheese in his mouth, in the past two years of panic, he longed countless times to find the sweetness that once touched his nerves in this hawthorn cheese, but now what remained on the tip of his tongue was only bitterness.

"When will you marry me?"

Two years have passed, and Gong Yan has proposed to Liu Piaopiao twice, but until now, she still hasn't nodded.

"You know, it's not that I won't say yes, it's just that we have to wait. ”

Liu Piaopiao was holding the milk tea in her hand, and as soon as she raised her hand, Gong Yan naturally took her handbag.

Liu Piaopiao raised the milk tea to Gong Yan's mouth, Gong Yan lowered his head and took a big sip, "You said that we don't have any obstacles, and our parents agree, why can't you marry me obediently?"

A year ago, when Gong Yan took her home for the first time, Gong Yan's father was not at home due to his busy work, and they were greeted by Gong Yan's painter mother, Yin Simiao.

Liu Piaopiao was shocked by her colorful dress when she saw her for the first time, Yin Simiao, who was in her fifties, looked like a woman in her thirties and forties, her eyes were full of vitality, but even so, Liu Piaopiao's heart was still bottomless.

Not long after he sat down, Gong Yan came to a work call, he went to the study to talk about work, leaving the nervous Liu Piaopiao and Yin Simiao alone in the living room, seeing his son enter the study, Yin Simiao only left a sentence "You are waiting for me here" and went upstairs.

The nervous Liu Piaopiao quickly made up the bloody plot in the idol drama she watched on weekdays, the male protagonist's mother generally does not agree to the heroine being with her son, in order to break them up, the ruthless mother usually takes out a check and smashes it on the heroine's face.

Thinking of this, Liu Piaopiao couldn't sit still, could such a drama be staged on her?

Seeing Yin Simiao walking down the stairs with a box in her hand, Liu Piaopiao stood up from the sofa with a "Teng" "Teng", she puffed up her chest and said righteously: "Auntie, I know that you may not agree to me and Gong Yan being together, but I really love him with him, no matter what conditions you offer today, I will not agree to you leaving him." ”

Yin Simiao froze in place, "You think I'm going to threaten you to leave my son?"

"You just went upstairs ......"

"Hahahaha, you stupid boy!

Yin Simiao laughed and grabbed Liu Piaopiao's arm and took her to the sofa to sit down.

"Piao Piao, I'll tell you the truth, we have been alone for so many years before, and I was once ready that he would take a boy home, but I didn't expect to be caught by you in the end. Our Gong family is self-made, and his father and I are also children from ordinary families, but there are no so-called family concepts, as long as Yan Yan likes it, as long as you are sincere to Yan Yan, we will definitely raise our hands in favor. ”

Liu Piaopiao was really relieved when she heard this.

"This is the family heirloom bracelet that my mother-in-law gave me when I married Yan Yan's father, and I think it should have a new owner. ”

Yin Simiao said and took out a crystal clear jade bracelet from the jewelry box.

Liu Piaopiao didn't dare to stretch out her hand, she didn't dare to accept such a bracelet with great significance.

"Take it!"

Gong Yan's voice suddenly came from behind him, and Liu Piaopiao turned his head to look at him in embarrassment.

"Piao Piao, you will be my wife sooner or later, you're welcome!

With that, Gong Yan took one of Liu Piaopiao's hands and put the jade bracelet on her wrist.

"Oh! we Yan Yan really have a vision, and found me such a lovely daughter-in-law, you two have to be good, Yan Yan, you can't bully Piao Piao!"

Yin Simiao took Liu Piaopiao's hand and threw a gentle smile at her.

"Auntie, thank you, Gong ...... You can't bully me!"

"My mother gave you guts, didn't she! Call me Gong Yan!"

----

The pleasant first sight of the day is vivid, but now Liu Piaopiao still does not become his bride as Gong Yan wishes.

"Gong Yan, you know what I've always dreamed of, I want to become the general manager of our supermarket, and the most important thing is to rely on my own ability, not the name of 'Gong Yan's wife', and more importantly, ......"

Liu Piaopiao's eyes dimmed instantly, Gong Yan knew what she was thinking, and more importantly, she hoped that Yao Zhixia, who had been missing for two years, could come to her wedding.

After Xue Rin suffered a car accident, as soon as he received the call, Gong Yan rushed to the hospital with Liu Piaopiao, and in the distance, they heard the crying echoing in the corridor.

When Liu Piaopiao ran to the door of the ICU, she only saw Yao Zhixia sitting in the corner, she sobbed uncontrollably, staring blankly at the floor tiles in the corridor, her lips were bloodless, and her mouth kept repeating: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my fault!"

"Sister Zhixia, don't be like this, get up quickly. ”

Liu Piaopiao tried to drag Yao Zhixia up from the ground, but Yao Zhixia seemed to be unable to hear any words, and was still muttering to herself, "I'm a sinner, why wasn't it me who was hit!"

"Yao Zhixia, calm down!"

Gong Yan on the side couldn't stand it anymore, he stepped forward and dragged Yao Zhixia up from the ground, Liu Piaopiao immediately helped her when she saw this, and the two worked together to take her to the bench in the corridor.

"What the hell is going on?Why was Xue Rin hit by a car?" Gong Yan asked sharply.

"He was hit by a truck in order to chase the car I was sitting in......" Recalling the tragic scene, Yao Zhixia couldn't help but cover his face.

"What's wrong with you?" asked anxiously as Liu Piaopiao took Yao Zhixia in her arms.

"It's me, it's all my fault, it's me who broke up with him. ”

Hearing this, Liu Piaopiao and Gong Yan immediately glanced at each other in surprise.

"If he has three longs and two shorts, you don't expect to have a good life!"

Gong Yan turned around angrily and left, Liu Piaopiao looked at Yao Zhixia who was lost in his arms, and looked at Gong Yan's back worriedly, in a dilemma for a while.

"Piao Piao, go with him quickly, don't let him do anything impulsive!"

Yao Zhixia broke free from Liu Piaopiao's arms as she spoke, pushing her out.

"Sister Zhixia, but you ......"

"Piao Piao, I will bear the mistakes I made alone, I want to guard him, please, I beg you......"

Yao Zhixia begged with tears, but Liu Piaopiao knew that she was a stubborn person, so she stopped insisting.

"Sister Zhixia, then I'll bring your change of clothes tomorrow morning, you have to be good, believe me, Xue Rin will be fine. ”

Liu Piaopiao followed Gong Yan to the traffic police brigade to deal with the car accident, and finally found that the car accident that almost killed Xue Rin was actually because the truck driver was tired driving.

And when Liu Piaopiao rushed to the hospital again, Yao Zhixia suddenly disappeared like evaporation from the world.

Looking at Liu Piao's lonely expression, Gong Yan's heart also came together, the good sisters who used to talk about everything now disappeared in the vast sea of people without any news, Yao Zhixia, how ruthless are you?
