When Luo Xi was waiting downstairs for Zhan Yifeng, he happened to meet Xiao Nan going downstairs to pick up takeout.

"It's so late, do you want to go out?" Xiao Nan asked with concern.

"Well, meet a friend. Luo Xi replied, catching a glimpse of the packing box in the other party's hand, "Eat takeout every day?"

"Hey, Brother Jiu won't let me go to your house every day to eat......" Xiao Nan seemed embarrassed.

"It's okay, I'll call you to dinner at home in the future. Luo Xi wanted to fight against Si Junxian.

Xiao Nan was a little happy, and was about to say something, when the light from the opposite headlights hit the two of them, and all their attention was taken away.

Zhan Yifeng drove a Jaguar, which is a private customization model.

"Hey, you've got enough of a friend. Xiao Nan narrowed his eyes and looked at the man in the main driver through the front windshield.

took him for granted as a threat to Si Junxian, so he naturally had to take a good look.

"Say no more, bye-bye. Luo Xi was worried about Ye Man's affairs and hurriedly got into the car.

As he drove away, Zhan Yifeng's gaze also stopped on Xiao Nan's face for a moment.

"Where are we going?" asked Luo Xi.

"To my studio?"

Zhan Yifeng's slightly inquiring tone was asking for Luo Xi's opinion.

"Good. Luo Xi believes that Zhan Yifeng is a person, and after learning that she is married, he will not do anything out of the ordinary.

Hearing Luo Xi's promise, Zhan Yifeng was very happy, he felt that in Luo Xi's heart, he was still different from Han Jingting and Bai Qingchen.

Zhan Yifeng's studio is not close to the city, with a strong industrial style, which looks simple and rugged, but there is no lack of exquisite details.

Large and small unfinished works are placed in a staggered manner.

"You're a lot more skilled. Luo Xi couldn't help but read it all for professional reasons.

"After so many years, if you don't make progress, it can't be justified. You sit, I'll make you a cup of coffee. Zhan Yifeng walked to the side of the cooking table.

"No hassle. Luo Xi said.

Zhan Yifeng felt her alienation, so he raised his head, looked directly at Luo Xi with gentle eyes, and said, "Give me a chance to be a friend, so that I can make up for my past mistakes." ”

Luo Xi was silent, letting Zhan Yifeng be busy beside the coffee machine.

Gradually, a fragrance wafted out.

Soon, Luo Xi had two more cups of steaming handmade coffee in front of him.

"Taste?" Zhan Yifeng invited.

Luo Xi was not polite, picked up the cup and took a sip, the taste was mellow, and the aftertaste was fragrant, "The craftsmanship is good." ”

Zhan Yifeng was carefully cleaning the utensils, and when he heard this, he laughed heartily.

Of course, he didn't forget the purpose of Luo Xi's coming.

He is a man who keeps his promises and does not disdain to take advantage of other people's weaknesses.

In this regard, he is fundamentally different from Bai Qingchen.

Those who are familiar with them can't figure out how this iron triangle came to be?

Zhan Yifeng sat opposite Luo Xi, with a cup of rich black coffee in his hand.

"What's going on with Bai Qingchen and Ye Man?" Luo Xi went straight to the point.

"It's my fault. Zhan Yifeng took the initiative to confess, and told Ye Man about his commitment to Bai Qingchen four years ago in order to find the whereabouts of the child.

After listening to this, Luo Xi was silent for a long time.

However, under the calm expression, the heart has already surged.

It turned out that in a place where she couldn't see, Ye Man had made such a heavy sacrifice for her.

From another point of view, although Ye Man knew Qingtian's whereabouts, he would rather be threatened by Bai Qingchen than tell the truth, which can be seen......

Luo Xi only felt that there were too many people involved, and he also hurt his best friend.

After Zhan Yifeng finished speaking, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief and unpack the knot in his heart for many years.

In Ye Man's matter, he was somewhat guilty. But......

"Xiaoxi, in fact, Qingchen still has feelings for Ye Man. Zhan Yifeng could detect Bai Qingchen's special treatment of Ye Man, "It's just that he is not a person who is good at expressing himself." ”

"Feelings, Bai Qingchen?" Luo Xi seemed to hear the Arabian Nights.

Zhan Yifeng pursed his lips, trying to find a suitable expression to describe his good buddy, but he seemed to be a little weak.

"Thank you for telling me this. After Luo Xi finished speaking, he got up and prepared to leave.

"Creek. Zhan Yifeng stood up at the same time and held Luo Xi's wrist.

Luo Xi looked at him with questions in his eyes.

Zhan Yifeng swallowed back what he originally wanted to say, let go of his hand and said, "If you encounter any difficulties here, you can come to me." ”

"Well, thank you. Luo Xi remained polite.

"It's not convenient to take a taxi here, I'll ask the driver to take you back. "Zhan Yifeng is very thoughtful.

He knew Luo Xi, and if he asked to send her back again, she would definitely not agree.

Luo Xi didn't refuse, after all, Zhan Yifeng brought her here, and it was really difficult to call a taxi here.

Waiting for the driver to come, Zhan Yifeng invited Luo Xi to take a look at his works over the years.

Luo Xi readily agreed.

The two of them went to the showroom on the second floor, where the completed oil paintings were framed and placed in a specific position, with spotlights shining on them, like a small exhibition hall.

As soon as Luo Xi entered, he saw a portrait hanging in the most conspicuous place.

The girl in the rain is so familiar.

The vivid appearance depicts her full of anticipation and faint uneasiness.

That's Gu Xi.

It's also the former self.

Luo Xi's gaze moved away from the large painting and looked at the others.

However, attention can no longer be fully focused.

Zhan Yifeng stood aside, didn't say anything, just waited for Luo Xi to browse them all.

"Are you qualified to sign with the UAC?" he said in a calm voice, as if he had made a casual joke.

Luo Xiwaner: "You are the boss yourself, what contract do you sign with us?"

"I heard that you are signing an independent artist, do you think I am not independent enough, or am I not a family?" asked Zhan Yifeng.

"Don't forget that you also have an identity, a gallery owner. Luo Xi reminded.

"If you're willing to sign with me, I can be at any time. "Zhan Yifeng is not like a joke.

"Why do you have to do this?" Luo Xi was puzzled, "If you do this, you are not afraid that Han Jingting will blame you? ”

"Even now, do you still care about his feelings?" Zhan Yifeng asked rhetorically.

Luo Xi felt that Zhan Yifeng seemed to have misunderstood her.

"I just don't want to get myself in trouble. Yifeng, don't be nice to me, I don't need to. ”

War is fleeting, a touch of sadness.

Luo Xi continued: "I'm not smart enough, but I also know who is plotting against me behind my back. You want to sign with UAC to help me get through this difficult time, right? Thank you very much, but it's really unnecessary. You are a very good oil painter, I have paid attention to your works, and there are many opportunities for cooperation in the future. ”

"Luo Xi, you...... It's completely different from before. Zhan Yifeng looked at the strange and familiar woman in front of him, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

All growth and transformation comes with pain, and Luo Xi has changed so much that he can imagine how painful her experience was.

Luo Xi just smiled, "Hasn't the driver arrived yet?"

"Let's go down and wait. "War is no longer forced.

After Luo Xi left, Zhan Yifeng stared at the taillights of the car that had gone away, and stood in the cold wind for a long time.

There are some mistakes that cannot be remedied.

That girl in the rain will never appear again.

*

Luo Xi didn't go home, but went to Ye Man.

I knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no answer.

Luo Xi was anxious and called Ye Man.

"Hey?" said a drunken voice on the phone, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"Where are you?" asked Luo Xi.

"In ...... At home. Ye Man couldn't speak clearly in a daze.

"Open the door, I'm at the door. Luo Xi was distressed.

"Wait, ouch, wait for me. When Ye Man got up, he was touched by the sofa and his leg.

Luo Xi heard the sound of jingling bells in the house, and after a while, the door opened, and Ye Man's crimson face appeared in front of her.

"Why are you here?" Ye Man was obviously drunk, and he might have forgotten all about what happened at night.

"Come and see you. The tip of Luo Xi's nose was pantothenic, and the girl in front of her had endured a lot for her, but she realized it later.

How did she deserve such a good friend?

"Okay, come in, come in, we're not drunk!" Ye Manla Luoxi entered the house.

On the ground were scattered bottles, red beer, five or six bottles by sight.

Luo Xi helped them up one by one and stood in a row, and sat on the floor with Ye Man.

"Smack!"

Ye Man opened a can and handed it to Luo Xi.

Luo Xi took it and accompanied Ye Man to pour it into his mouth one by one.

"Will Miss Ye also be sad for men?" Luo Xi teased.

Ye Man drank too much, and was no longer as heartless as usual, and after listening to Luo Xi's words, he was even more sad.

She shook her head and leaned aggrievedly on Luo Xi's shoulder, drunk.

"Manman, you're stronger than I thought. is just a Bai Qingchen, we are not afraid of him. Luo Xi comforted.

"Luo Xi, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't worry about it. Ye Man still wanted to hide it.

"It has nothing to do with me? Are you sure?" Manman," Luo Xi paused, looked ahead and said, "I talked to Zhan Yifeng alone. He told me all about the past. ”

Ye Man's body stiffened, and his brain buzzed.

She wanted to keep the secret, how could Zhan Yifeng easily say it? Didn't he say that he wouldn't tell anyone?

"Manman, I'm sorry for making you suffer so much for me. Luo Xi turned his head with a guilty smile.

"You, what nonsense are you talking about? What grievances are not wronged, I met a scumbag, I deserve it. "Ye Man is still holding on.

Luo Xi raised his arm and turned to hug Ye Man.

"Silly girl, what are you talking about......" Her eyes were sore and tears were hot, "according to your logic, I am the one who deserves it." ”

Ye Man burst into tears and laughed.

At this time, her reaction was half a beat slower, but her mind was clear at the moment.

She finally recognized the reality, that is, Luo Xi really knew everything.

"Did Zhan Yifeng even tell you the whereabouts of the child?" Ye Man asked.

Luo Xi looked at Ye Man, and his smile was bitter: "It's because he didn't say anything that you insisted on going to Bai Qingchen, right? Later, when I came back, Bai Qingchen threatened you with the whereabouts of the child, and you had to give in to him, right? If you do this, you don't want to think about how sad I will be? Silly girl, I have prepared for the worst, but why are you so stupid?"

Ye Man lowered her head, the wine became more and more intense, and she felt that her head was wooden.

"What did Bai Qingchen tell you at the beginning, you tell me, don't be afraid of his threats in the future, okay?" Luo Xi was kind and seductive.

Ye Man was silent.

"Or does he have other means?" Luo Xi asked.

"Don't ask, Luo Xi. The whereabouts of a sunny day, I won't say. Ye Man suddenly became resolute.

Luo Xi frowned, "Manman, do you think I can't bear it? Or do you want me to fight with Han Jingting?" You know, whether you say it or not, I will always know, but it will take more effort. Can you bear to see me continue to suffer?"

In desperation, Luo Xi had no choice but to say it seriously, although it seemed very selfish to do so, she didn't want Ye Man to be hurt for herself again.

Ye Man covered his ears and begged: "Don't say it again, please ......"

"Ye Man!" Luo Xi grabbed her hands and forced her to look at herself: "Ye Man, you know what a sunny day means to me. I don't want to live a life of fringe, I want to live a meaningful life. Can you understand me?"

"I'm sorry, Luo Xi ......" Ye Man choked up, she realized for the first time that maybe she had done something wrong.

Her concealment was originally intended to hope that Luo Xi could live well, but in fact, every day of Luo Xi was spent in pain and self-blame.

Those superficial happiness and relaxation are just deliberately paralyzing themselves.

Luo Xi's longing eyes finally made Ye Man open his mouth.

Recalling the conversation with Bai Qingchen that day, Ye Man's heart pinched again.

That morning, she endured the pain all over her body, and asked Bai Qingchen in a trembling voice: "What about the child?"

Bai Qingchen's cold eyes narrowed slightly: "I really want to know, then you have to be mentally prepared." ”

Ye Man looked at him stubbornly, "I hope you keep your word." ”

Bai Qingchen was dismissive of her threat, but still told the truth: "It was sold, and it was worth 20,000." According to Jing Ting's character, he will not leave a living mouth. Not to mention, this matter was handled by Lu Xingyun. Your sisters are also bold enough, why do you have to say that the child is Jing Ting's? After the child was born, the DNA test was done again, but it still did not match, isn't this looking for death by yourself? If you want me to say, Jing Ting is also considered to be benevolent and righteous. ”

After Ye Man finished speaking, he looked at Luo Xi worriedly.

Luo Xi's brain has been blank for a long time, and she has long been prepared for the worst for the whereabouts of the child.

But after confirming it, I still can't help but feel distressed and sad.

However, after all, she was powerless, and she could only accept it.

After a long while, she muttered, "Isn't it really Han Jingting?"

Who would that be?

Luo Xi had never doubted the child's background, but now, she was shaken.

It had been almost five years since that night, and she had long since remembered the details, except that the man tenderly blindfolded her.

Could it be that this move was just to make her mistakenly think that Han Jingting did it?

Luo Xi broke out in a cold sweat.

What kind of person wants to calculate her like this? It caused her to pay two lives for this, as well as the future of the Gu family.

"Luo Xi, I'm sorry......" Ye Man muttered, unconsciously the person was already asleep.

Luo Xi helped her to the bed and covered her with a quilt.

Ye Man's wine is like this, when he wakes up tomorrow, he may forget what he said tonight.

It's better to forget, isn't it?

She didn't clean up, as if she hadn't been here at all.

At noon the next day, Luo Xi received a call from Ye Man.

The other party first cautiously struck the west, and finally asked tentatively: "I seemed to dream that you came to my house last night!"

"Really, you didn't dream that the senior had fallen in love with me?" Luo Xi pretended to be surprised.

Ye Man on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was really a dream.

"It's okay, it's okay. She hurriedly said.

"Well, I still have some things, so I'll hang up first. Luo Xi's tone was as usual.

"Good. ”

After ending the call, Luo Xi asked Jiang Lingyun to find her Bai Qingchen's number.

Twenty minutes later, she sent a text message to Bai Qingchen: "I'm Luo Xi, I already know the whereabouts of the child, don't harass Ye Man anymore." ”

"It's my business and hers, it's not your turn. Bai Qingchen's answer was as annoying as his people.

"She doesn't have a crush on you!" Luo Xi warned.

"I don't have any, I have nothing to do with that Mu? Don't worry, whoever she likes, I will destroy whomever she likes. ”

Luo Xi couldn't help frowning, what is the difference between this Bai Qingchen and a scoundrel?

There is no way to continue the conversation.

Before getting off work, Celine's assistant Lisa came to take care of Luo Xi and not forget the banquet in the evening.

Luo Xi went home and changed her clothes, a decent lady's suit, sassy and capable.

Jiang Lingyun accompanied her to attend.

"Mr. Luo, who is Celine invited here? Why do you feel like you don't have any familiar faces? And they all look like nouveau riche......

As Jiang Lingyun was talking, he saw Celine walking towards them with several middle-aged men with big bellies and poops.

Luo Xi greeted him with a smile and listened to Celine's introductions one by one.

This general manager and that Dong sound like successful entrepreneurs.

Jiang Lingyun couldn't say anything, after all, Celine was also one level higher than him in terms of position.

"This is our UAC Asia Pacific head Luo Xiluo! not only is he beautiful, but his ability is also outstanding!" Celine spared no effort to hold Luo Xi.

The middle-aged man who was Xie Ding immediately stretched out his hands to hold Luo Xi's right hand, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth: "Mr. Luo, I have been looking up for a long time, it is really worthy of my name!"

Luo Xi smiled lightly, pulled out his hand and said, "I have won the prize, Mr. Li, I still need everyone's care in the future." ”

"Mr. Luo became the head of the region at a young age, and this woman is an executive, and she usually pays a little more. Another boss said in a non-yin manner.

"It's not early, please sit down, Celine has also arranged a performance for all VIPs to watch. Luo Xi changed the subject with a smile.

During the banquet, it is inevitable to push the cup and change the lamp, but because of Luo Xi's identity, she can't avoid some toasts.

Celine was happy to see them "attack" Luo Xi, and her words seemed to be sympathetic to Luo Xi, but in fact, she was helping to abuse.

"Mr. Li, our Luo is not strong enough to drink, and this red wine is only two bottles, you can take it easy!"

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, I can tell you, Mr. Luo's investment vision will never be bad, you cooperate with our UAC, just put 10,000 hearts!"

……

Luo Xi was furious when he heard it, but he still had to make money on the surface.

Jiang Lingyun had long been blocked out by a group of people, and he couldn't squeeze in.

Fortunately, Luo Xi wore a lot of clothes, so he was not taken advantage of.

But those people were too close to her, and it already made her feel uncomfortable.

I don't know what Celine said to these people behind her back, they are all like wolves!

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't compliment me. Although I am the person in charge, Celine is the person in charge of you, and the headquarters has entrusted her with important responsibilities, which is a recognition of her ability. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I can't favor one over the other, right?" Luo Xi turned his gun back and pointed the finger at Celine.

Celine hurriedly waved her hand, "No, no, no, where can I compare with Mr. Luo?"

"Mr. Luo is right, you can't favor one over the other!" someone agreed, and soon someone supported it.

Luo Xi knows very well that there has never been a shortage of people in the wine field who like to fall into the well.

These people don't want to let go of Luo Xi, but they want to kill two birds with one stone, anyway, in their eyes, women are used for unspoken rules in the workplace!

For people with bad intentions, all women in high positions rely on their appearance, not their ability.
