"Knock knock ......." Seeing Zhou Yibai leaving, the little guy went to knock on the door of the study and shouted inside, "Mom, the scumbag cousin is gone, don't be angry, okay?"

In the study, Jiang Nian really has something to do, there is a video conference, waiting for her, the big boss, to participate.

Hearing Xiaoqing's voice, Jiang Nian stopped and went to open the door.

"Mom, are you angry?" The door was opened, and seeing Jiang Nian who appeared at the door, the little guy was tilting his round head and flashing big eyes to her uneasily.

Jiang Nian squatted down, kissed the child's forehead, shook his head and said, "Mom is not angry, it's just that Mom doesn't like outsiders to disturb our lives." “

"Is that cousin an outsider? He is related to us. Looking at Jiang Nian, Xiao Qing asked very seriously.

Looking at Xiao Qing, Jiang Nianqing's eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly.

This is probably the so-called blood is thicker than water, although she told Xiaoqing that Zhou Yibai is a scumbag, and Xiaoqing also knows what scum means, but he is still willing to help Zhou Yibai speak, it seems that he likes Zhou Yibai quite a lot.

"Yes, he's an outsider, and my mother doesn't like him. However, without hesitation, Jiang Nian gave Xiaoqing an answer.

"So, Mom, are you mad at your cousin?" the little guy continued.

Jiang Nian looked at the child. smiled helplessly, shook his head and said, "No, I'm not angry with him, and I'm not angry with anyone." “

"But Mom, you looked horrible just now, you never did this before. Looking at Jiang Nian, the little guy held her face with a pair of fleshy little hands, and his little serious expression was full of sadness and said, "If Dad sees it, will Dad be sad?"

--Dad will be sad when he sees it.

Yes, if Lu Chengzhou knew that she was actually angry for Zhou Yibai, perhaps, he would be sad! Because, what Lu Chengzhou wants to see most is that she can be happy.

"I'm sorry, Mom won't be like this in the future. "Solemnly, Jiang Nian apologized to the little guy, her unconscious behavior just now must have scared the little guy.

"Well, Mom, I forgive you. Holding Jiang Nian's face, the little guy nodded heavily, agreed crisply, and said, "Then don't be unhappy in the future, otherwise, Dad will be sad." “

Looking at the little guy and thinking of Lu Chengzhou, Jiang Nian's eyes couldn't help but be ruthless again, but he tried his best to hold back. Nodding his head, "Okay, Mom promises you." “

"Well, Mom, I love you. “

"MOM LOVES YOU TOO, SHE LOVES YOU VERY MUCH!" JIANG NIAN WENT TO KISS THE LITTLE GUY AND ASKED AGAIN, "ARE YOU HUNGRY, LET LILIAN GO TO DINNER WITH YOU, OKAY?"

The little guy shook his head, "I'm not hungry, I'm going to wait for my mother to come along." “

"Okay, then let's go to a meeting with my mother first, okay?"

"Hmm. “

..............

"Husband, do you think that Mrs. Lu looks familiar?"

Leaving the hotel, on the way back, Liang Xiyu hugged Lin Zhenye's arm and thought about it. He asked with a puzzled face.

Lin Zhenye was originally closing his eyes to recuperate, but when he heard his wife ask, he frowned, slowly opened his eyes, and nodded, "It's indeed a little familiar, don't you think, this Mrs. Lu is a little similar to Xiao Wei?"

"Yes, we Xiaowei do look like her, but I mean, I really seem to have seen her somewhere before, either because she looks like Xiaowei, or I can't remember it for a while. Looking at Lin Zhenye, Liang Xiyu was still confused.

Glancing at Liang Xiyu, Lin Zhenye sighed lightly, "Alas, back then, Dad introduced Xiaoxue to Lu Chengzhou, and I also hoped that Lu Chengzhou would fall in love with Xiaoxue and marry our Lin family." “

"It's all six or seven years ago, you see how this Mrs. Lu compares with others now. When it came to Lin Xiaoxue's stepdaughter, Liang Xiyu was not happy, and immediately changed the topic, "It's Xiaowei, I think it's really a good match with Zhou Yibai, you and Dad can work hard, think more about Xiaowei, and marry Xiaowei into the Zhou family as soon as possible." “

Lin Zhenye frowned, "But I think this Zhou Yibai is very arrogant, and he doesn't look down on Xiaowei at all." “

Liang Xiyu glanced at Lin Zhenye, "The family background of the Zhou family and Zhou Yibai's ability are there, he is arrogant, it is normal, but the relationship between men and women, more cultivation and cultivation will come out, you and Dad, you have to create more opportunities for Xiaowei, otherwise, this Zhou Yibai is easy to be robbed by others, but I heard that there are many celebrities who like his ladies, but there are very few who can see Zhou Yibai's face and say a few words to him." “

Zhou Yibai, the son-in-law, likes it very much at a glance, and she must find ways to marry her daughter to him.

"Hmm. Lin Zhenye nodded, glanced at Liang Xiyu and said, "However, if you want Zhou Yibai to fall in love with Xiaowei, you have to tell Xiaowei well, don't always put the eldest lady's score outside, and keep a low profile outside! Fortunately, Mrs. Lu doesn't care about it this time, if she really cares about it and cancels the cooperation plan with us, then my father and I have no way at all." “

"What are you afraid of, when they come to our Lin family, they must think that our Lin family is the most suitable, and if they don't cooperate with us, it will be their own loss. With a proud face, Liang Xiyu said again, "Today, Dad actually asked Xiaowei to kneel down to that Mrs. Lu in front of Zhou Yibai, I really didn't care about Xiaowei's feelings at all, if I ......."

"Shut up!" Before Liang Xiyu's words were finished, Lin Zhenye directly interrupted her unhappily, "What is Dad doing, it's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks, teach Xiaowei well, and don't make trouble in the future is what you should do." “

Looking at Lin Zhenye, whose face had become a little gloomy, Liang Xiyu didn't dare to shout anything anymore, and nodded honestly, "Well, okay, don't worry, I will discipline Xiaowei well when I go back." “

Glancing at Liang Xiyu, Lin Zhenye closed his eyes again and didn't speak again.

In the other car behind, Lin Haoyu and Lin Xiaowei were sitting, looking at Lin Haoyu, who had been reluctant to give up since he saw Jiang Nian, Lin Xiaowei pushed him and asked with a smile, "Brother, you won't be the one who has taken a fancy to that Mrs. Lu, right?"

Glancing at Lin Xiaowei, Lin Haoyu raised his eyebrows, and said with a lost face, "You said that she is Mrs. Lu, even if you fall in love, what's the use?"

looked at Lin Haoyu. Lin Xiaowei smiled slyly, "I heard that Lu Chengzhou is very old, in his forties, but this Mrs. Lu looks really young, really like a college graduate, if you like her very much, you can try it, maybe....... Hehe, brother, you know. “

Lin Haoyu looked at Lin Xiaowei, what she meant, he did understand, but he still knocked her head hard, "What do you think about all day long, deal with your own affairs first, if something like this happens again today, you may not be so lucky! “

Lin Xiaowei looked at Lin Haoyu, pursed her lips, and said with a firm face, "Brother, don't worry, I am married to Zhou Yibai this time, and I will definitely take him down." “

Lin Haoyu glanced at her, "Then I'll wait and see!"

..............

It's past two o'clock in the morning, and in the study room of the XX suite on the top floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, the lights are still bright.

Jiang Nian hadn't closed her eyes for four days and four nights, but she didn't have a trace of tiredness, as soon as she stopped, all that came to her mind was Lu Chengzhou, and it was all pictures of her and Lu Chengzhou together.

She didn't want to let herself think about it, she didn't want to, but as long as she stopped between work, all the pictures would continue to pour into her brain like a tide, and the position of her chest would throb and ache.

Every time like this, she thinks, if she didn't sign the euthanasia agreement and forced the doctor again, isn't it, Lu Chengzhou is still by her side now, she is still hugging him at the moment, listening to his heartbeat, feeling his breathing and temperature.

She misses him, she really misses him, every minute, every second, all the time, she thinks about him.

Looking at the photo of Lu Chengzhou and him that she had only placed on the desk in the afternoon, tears slipped down from her eyes without warning, and when she reacted, tears had already flowed all over her face, and when she raised her hand, her palms were all cold.

Raising his head and stopping his tears, Jiang Nian wiped all the water stains off his face, and then picked up the landline on the desk and dialed the customer service number.

She knew that she had to rest, she had to get a good night's sleep, otherwise, if she continued like this, she would collapse.

She collapsed, what should Xiaoqing do, what should Huayuan Group do?

Whether it is Huayuan Group or Xiaoqing, they are Lu Chengzhou's favorites.

and her, Lu Chengzhou loves her the most.

Therefore, she can't fall, she can't let Lu Chengzhou down, and she can't make him sad.

"Dear VVIP guest, hello, what do you need?" the customer service number is dialed out, even if it is in the middle of the night. It was immediately connected, and a gentle female voice came.

"Hello, do you have any diazepam tablets or other sleeping pills? “

"Dear Madam, yes, we will send it to you right now. On the phone, the customer service immediately replied respectfully, because the call was from the XX suite, and the customer service staff knew very well how noble the guest status of this suite was, and did not dare to slack off at all.

Moreover, Jiang Nian only needs two sleeping pills, which is very suitable for people who are troubled by insomnia, and there is no problem.

"Okay, thank you!" Hanging up the phone, Jiang Nian got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Outside the window, the hustle and bustle of the city has been asleep, but it is still brightly lit, illuminating the outline of the entire city.

When it was dawn, she should leave here and return to Dongning with Lu Chengzhou and Xiaoqing.

The fallen leaves returned to their roots, and the headquarters was moved to Dongning.

Chengzhou, in fact, what you are thinking about is not the fallen leaves returning to the roots, they are all for me, all for me, right?

"Dingdong ......."

After a while, there was a soft ringing of the doorbell in the direction of the gate outside the study, Jiang Nian knew that the waiter was bringing her medicine, and she was afraid of waking up the sleeping Xiaoqing, so she hurriedly strode out to get the medicine.

"Hello, Dear Mrs. Lu, these are the two sleeping pills you wanted. “

When Jiang Nian strode to the gate, the door was opened with a soft sound, and the waiter's respectful voice immediately sounded.

Jiang Nian glanced at the two sleeping pills in a small medicine box in the waiter's tray, said "thank you", and then took a step forward and reached for the medicine.

It's just that just as she reached out to get the medicine, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of her door, a long and tall figure leaning against the wall, staring at her for a moment.

Subconsciously, Jiang Nian turned his head sideways, and at a glance, his eyes fell into Zhou Yibai's dark pupils.

At this moment, Zhou Yibai was looking at her steadily, her dark pupils were constantly flickering, but Jiang Nian didn't want to read the emotions in his eyes at the moment, but after a glance, he withdrew his gaze and took the medicine from the waiter's tray.

"Dear Mrs. Lu, good night, and I wish you a good night's sleep. Jiang Nian took the medicine, and the waiter said respectfully.

"Thank you!" thanked him again, and then, Jiang Nian took two steps back, raised his hand and was about to close the door.

However, just as the door was about to close, a force suddenly stopped her from the outside, making it impossible to close the door again.

Lightly lifted his eyes, through the crack in the unclosed door, once again, Jiang Nian met Zhou Yibai's dark eyes.

"Mr. Zhou, it's late at night!" looked at him. There was no trace of emotion on that plain white face, Jiang Nian reminded lightly.

"Ah Nian ,......."

"Do you know how to respect elders?" Just when Zhou Yibai looked at Jiang Nian fixedly, his eyebrows trembled lightly and called her name, Jiang Nian interrupted him mercilessly.

Looking at her, Zhou Yibai's eyes were fierce and turned scarlet, but he raised the corners of his lips and smiled, and said in a low voice with a thick hoarseness, "Little aunt, can you let me go in and sit for a while?" After standing for seven or eight hours, my leg is about to break. “

"No, my aunt and uncle are going to rest. When the words fell, Jiang Nian slammed his force, and with a "bang", he closed the door and Zhou Yibai. Completely isolated from the door.

Closing the door, as if nothing had happened, Jiang Nian took the two sleeping pills, went to pour a glass of water, and swallowed the medicine.

"Mom, why haven't you slept yet?"

Perhaps, it was because her movement just now was too big, or it woke up Xiaoqing.

Xiao Qing walked out of his bedroom in pajamas and barefoot, rubbing his hazy eyes, and asked Jiang Nian softly in his immature voice.

Jiang Nian passed, kissed the little guy's forehead, and hugged him, "Mom, sleep now." “

"Then Mom, can I sleep with you?" the little guy put his arm around Jiang Nian's neck and asked her softly.

In the past, at night, Jiang Nian never let the little guy sleep with her and Lu Chengzhou.

"Well, okay, Xiaoqing sleeps with her mother. However, this time, Jiang Nian nodded and agreed, hugged Xiaoqing, and went directly to his bedroom.

In the bedroom, on the bedside table, there is the delicate wooden box.

Jiang Nian put the little guy on the bed, went to bed himself, and then went to kiss the delicate wooden box, and said softly, "Chengzhou, good night." “

"Good night, Dad!"

..............

Sleeping pills and Xiaoqing's company worked, and in the remaining half of the night, Jiang Nian not only fell asleep. And slept very deeply, very deeply.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Li Hedong came to find Jiang Nian, and saw Zhou Yibai, who had been guarding outside Jiang Nian's suite all night and had no plans to leave, raised his handsome eyebrows, and the two looked at each other, but they didn't say anything, Li He Li went directly to ring the doorbell.

Immediately, the door opened, and it was Xiaoqing who came to open the door.

"Shhhhh “

"Li Tezhu, early, my wife hasn't closed her eyes for a few days and nights, last night at two o'clock in the morning, the waiter sent two sleeping pills, my wife fell asleep after eating, I haven't woken up yet, if anything happens, when my wife wakes up, I'll tell you." At this time, Sister Ying also came over and said to Li Hedong in a low voice.

Li Hedong looked at the lovely Xiaoqing in front of him, raised his hand and gently rubbed the top of his hair, then glanced at Sister Ying and said, "Okay, then I'll go to breakfast first, if my wife wakes up, you tell me." “

"Hmm. Sister Ying nodded.

"Xiaoqing, do you want to go to breakfast with me?" Before leaving, Li Hedong squatted down and asked the little guy again.

The little one shook his head. I didn't want to think about it, so I said, "No, I'll wait for my mother to eat together, I promised my father that I would take care of my mother." “

Looking at the small but extremely sensible and smart child in front of him, Li Hedong nodded with great appreciation, gave Xiaoqing a thumbs up and said, "Xiaoqing is awesome, that uncle will eat first." “

"Hmm. The little guy nodded heavily and said in a low voice, "Uncle He Dong will see you later." “

"Okay, I'll see you later. Li Hedong nodded, stood up, and when he left, he turned his head sideways again, and took a deep look at Zhou Yibai, who was leaning against the wall a few steps away, before turning around and striding away.

Noticing Li Hedong's movements before leaving, the little guy was curious, and also poked out his round head and looked in the direction that Li Hedong had seen.

"Scumbag cousin!" When she saw Zhou Yibai leaning against the wall at a glance, Xiao Qing's eyes widened in shock, "Why are you here?"

Sister Ying heard it and walked out as well.

Seeing that Zhou Yibai was still standing outside the door, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Zhou, why are you still there?"

Sister Ying knew that after Jiang Nian drove Zhou Yibai out yesterday, Zhou Yizhi had been standing outside the door, she saw Zhou Yibai several times in and out last night, in the middle of the night, Jiang Nian took medicine, she also woke up, knowing that Zhou Yibai and Jiang Nian had talked, but I didn't expect that at this moment, he was still there.

Looking at Xiaoqing and Sister Ying, Zhou Yibai, who was originally leaning against the wall, stood up straight, walked over, and said with a smile, "If you don't keep it, I'm not at ease." “

Yes, it's been five years, more than five years, these almost two thousand days and nights, he has been guarding Jiang Nian all the time, even if it is just guarding the house where she has lived and the things she has used, then he has also guarded it day and night, and now, Jiang Nian is back, how can he not guard it.

Sister Ying looked at Zhou Yibai and smiled, not knowing what to say.

Sister Ying naturally didn't know what happened before Zhou Yibai and Jiang Nian, but she knew that Zhou Yibai was Lu Chengzhou's nephew, and he and Jiang Nian were relatives.

"Scumbag cousin, you haven't left, you've been staying outside, from yesterday to now?" Listening to the conversation between Sister Ying and Zhou Yibai, the little guy flashed a pair of big black eyes, and asked in great surprise and curiosity.

Zhou Yibai looked down at him, raised the corners of his lips, smiled, and then squatted down, keeping his sight on the same level as the little guy, reaching out to hold the little guy's hands, and said pitifully, "Yes, I have been guarding outside since yesterday until now." I'm thirsty and hungry, and my leg is about to break, can Xiaoqing let me in?"

Xiao Qing looked at Zhou Yibai, who was indeed a little tired in front of him, and after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Okay, you can come in! “

Zhou Yibai smiled and nodded, "Well, you say!"

"Don't make my mom angry anymore because she says she doesn't like you. "Seriously, the little one demanded.

"Good. Solemnly, Zhou Yibai nodded and agreed, "I promise, I will not make your mother angry again." “

"Well, then you come in. He said. The little guy led Zhou Yibai into the house.

"Good. Zhou Yibai smiled, led by the little guy's fleshy little hand, and entered the house.

"Mr. Zhou, you drink a glass of water first, do you want me to have someone bring breakfast, you eat first." After Zhou Yibai and Xiaoqing entered the suite and sat down on the sofa in the living room, Sister Ying poured a glass of water for Zhou Yibai and asked with concern.

Looking at Zhou Yibai, he doesn't look like a bad guy or a nasty person anywhere, Sister Ying looks at him, and the more she looks at him, the more she likes it.

Zhou Yibai took the water cup, said "thank you" to Sister Ying with a smile, and drank the water in the cup in one sip before saying, "No, wait for Ah Nian!"

--Ah Nian.

Listening to Zhou Yibai's name for Jiang Nian. Sister Ying guessed that he and Jiang Nian were probably old acquaintances before, but Sister Ying didn't say anything, just smiled and said, "That's good, whatever you want." “

"Scum cousin, why do you call me Mom Ah Nian, you should call me Mom Auntie. The little guy thief elf, like Sister Ying, heard Zhou Yibai's inappropriate address to Jiang Nian, so he immediately asked him with big black and bright eyes.

Zhou Yibai looked at the little guy, his big black eyes, straight little nose bridge, small thin lips, and handsome face. Everything looked so familiar, so kind, and said with a smile, "Xiaoqing, I'll discuss something with you, okay?"

"What's the matter, you say!" completely looked like a little adult, the little guy sat next to Zhou Yibai, dangling two little short legs, and asked him seriously.

Looking at the little guy, Zhou Yibai also discussed with him quite seriously, "Since I saw your mother yesterday, I have decided to change my mind, completely correct my mistakes, be a good person, work with you, protect your mother, and prevent anyone from bullying and hurting your mother, so, can you change your name for me?"

Looking at Zhou Yibai, the little guy raised his thin brows and thought for a while, and asked, "But my mother said, you are my cousin, I don't call you a scumbag cousin, so what do you call it?"

Looking at the little guy, Zhou Yibai nodded very seriously, "Yes, your father is indeed my brother-in-law, in terms of generation, I am indeed your cousin, but you don't have to call me cousin, you can call me by my name, just like I can call your mother's name." “

Zhou Yibai never knew that he would have such good patience, especially when dealing with a child who was only a little over four years old, he could be so calm and not anxious at all.

"And what is your name?" asked the little one.

"My name is Zhou Yibai. “

"Uh......." staring at Zhou Yibai with big black eyes, the little guy thought for a while, and then nodded, "Okay, since you will be a good mother with me in the future, then I won't call you a scumbag cousin, I'll call you Xiaobai in the future, it's much simpler than a scumbag cousin." “

"Xiaobai?!" Zhou Yibai was stunned, since he can remember, no one dares and no one will call him that.

"Well, Xiaobai, can't you?" the little guy asked rhetorically, nodding his head heavily.

"Heh......." Looking at the little guy with big black eyes and an innocent face, Zhou Yibai smiled and nodded, "Okay, it's called Xiaobai." “

.......
