Zhou He's face was expressionless, his eyes looked at the passing vehicles, and said, "Isn't Mr. Cheng busy?

She wasn't going to wait any longer, and took a step in the direction of home.

The cold wind poured into the car in bursts, and Cheng Wei did not speak or move. It wasn't until Zhou He's figure turned into a small black dot that the driver cautiously asked, "Mr. Cheng, shall we go?"

Cheng Wei closed his eyes and said, "Let's go." ”

It wasn't very far, the snow wasn't deep, and it only took more than an hour for Zhou He to get home. It wasn't cold to walk, and she even sweated.

It was already eleven o'clock, and she didn't call Xu Yuanning, but just sent him a text message to tell him that she had arrived.

She still suffers from sleep, probably because of the snow. Lying on the bed, she suddenly remembered the heavy snowfall in Yucheng many years ago.

The world seemed to be silent all of a sudden, the small stove that was burning brightly, the gentle smile on Aunt Qi's face, and her enthusiasm and courage.

She closed her eyes and lay quietly.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the company's annual meeting. Because she was idle, she was sent early to help set up the ground. In addition to the company's employees, the annual meeting also invites cooperative and potential customers. This is the company's first annual meeting, and Meng Shan attaches great importance to it.

Zhou Yi has always been meticulous, checking every detail. I was relieved to call the hotel manager to make sure there would be no problems after repeated communication.

She was still wearing a simple sweater and jeans, and Meng Shan frowned when she came over in advance and saw her casually dressed. Let her go and change her dress, entertain clients with her.

Zhou He originally thought that he would have nothing to do with himself after the arrangement, and he didn't even bother to eat at noon. Now he quickly took a loaf of bread and nibbled on it, and went to change his dress.

The dress was customized by Meng Shan for her, a light blue bandeau dress, elegant and playful. It's just that there is a lot of exposure, which makes Zhou He, who hasn't worn a skirt for a long time, quite uncomfortable.

The annual meeting started at six o'clock, and she changed into a dress and went out to talk to Meng Shan for a few words, and customers came over one after another. Meng Shan smiled and stepped forward to greet her.

Meng Shan's family doesn't know what the background is, and several of the customers who came this time are not very compatible with their company. It was unlikely that they would come to their annual meeting, but they all came, and they were familiar with Meng Shan, greeting each other with a smile on their faces.

Zhou He's heart was surprised, but he didn't show it on his face.

A special guest came halfway through, saying that it was special, and Zhou He saw it from the faint smile on Meng Shan's face. The gentleman walked over, Meng Shan was not as enthusiastic as others, and simply introduced Zhou He: "This is Mr. Qin." ”

There are no superfluous introductions.

Zhou He could feel the atmosphere that was about to be cold, and greeted with a smile: "Hello Mr. Qin, I'll take you in." ”

That Mr. Qin didn't buy it and didn't move. glanced at Meng Shan, and then said, "Thank you, you don't have to be so polite between me and Mr. Meng." Stay and greet the others. ”

As he spoke, he went inside.

Meng Shan's face was expressionless, and when she saw a customer coming in, she immediately cheered up again. The smile on his face was restored.

Cheng Wei also came later, and Meng Shan personally went out to greet him. After meeting, they greeted Cheng Wei with a question about his body, Cheng Wei was obviously unwilling to talk about this topic, and brought it over lightly.

Meng Shan is a fine person, and he didn't mention it again. Greeted in person throughout the whole process.

By the time the customers all entered the venue, Zhou He had already stood stiff. She found a place to sit down and drink a glass of water, and then sat down in her place.

There were many customers who came, and Meng Shan announced the start of the annual meeting after a brief speech. There was the host next, Zhou He thought that there was nothing wrong with her, but Meng Shan called her side again and took her to entertain customers.

It wasn't until later that she asked her to find something to eat.

Zhou He's face was about to stiffen with laughter, and he felt the tiredness of socializing again. She sat down in the corner, rested for a while, and was about to get something to drink, when a glass of orange juice was handed to her.

Zhou He raised his head and saw Sister Liu looking at her with a smile.

She originally said that she couldn't come, and she didn't see it when she entered the venue just now. I guess I just came here.

She taught Zhou He many things, and Zhou He was grateful. He quickly stood up and said, "When did you come?"

Sister Liu smiled and said, "Sit down and say, I am not tired after socializing with Mr. Meng for so long." She sat down as she spoke, and then said, "I've been here for a while, and I didn't go over to say hello when I saw that Mr. Meng had been taking you all the time." ”

Because they were on the phone all the time, they talked casually between the two. Sister Liu's eyes turned around the scene, and she suddenly asked in a low voice, "I saw that Mr. Meng's ex-husband is also here." ”

Zhou Yiyi was stunned and looked at her line of sight. At a glance, I saw Mr. Qin standing next to the pillar talking to people.

She quickly retracted her gaze, touched her nose, and said, "No wonder Mr. Meng was a little wrong just now. ”

Sister Liu sighed low and said, "Mr. Meng has already drunk a lot of wine tonight, you can follow Mr. Meng later." ”

Meng Shan's previous affairs, she knew a little bit. The boss's gossip Zhou Ji didn't go to investigate, just nodded.

Later, there was a lottery session, and Zhou He tried his luck. But her luck was not good, and she didn't hit anything. Sister Liu won a mobile phone.

After the draw, there was a dancing session, the music played, and the men and women found their own dance partners. Sister Liu and Meng Shan were both invited to dance, while Zhou He was drinking slowly with wine. Looking at the time, thinking about when it will be over.

After looking at it for a while, I raised my head, and at a glance, I saw Cheng Wei sitting diagonally opposite. He didn't drink either, and looked at the dance floor with his glass. The figure was exceptionally lonely in the light.

Zhou He lowered his head and looked at the red liquid in the cup, and suddenly remembered that a few years ago she went to the grave of the old grandmother to sweep the grave, and in the middle of the night when Cheng Wei fainted with a fever, he took her hand and muttered the words don't go, don't go.

Somehow, Miss Han was drunk again, and she just sat there and didn't move for a while. After a long time, he raised his glass and drank it all.

At the end of the song, Meng Shan came to see her sitting, and called a young man, saying that he was her cousin. Let the two of them go dancing too.

Before Zhou He could say that he was not very good, the Meng Gongzi stretched out his hand, and the gentleman invited her to dance with him. Zhou He couldn't refuse, so he had to follow.

She hadn't danced in a long time, and she wasn't used to it. I'm not used to physical contact with strangers, and my body is tense.

That Meng Gongzi laughed and said, "Take it easy, Miss Zhou, I won't eat people." ”

Zhou He made a big red face and said sorry.

Both of them had soft voices, looking like lovers from afar. Cheng Wei's gaze stayed on the two of them for so long, and it wasn't until the end of the song that he withdrew his gaze.

He didn't stay until the end, and later the people around him came over, and he got up and left without knowing what to say to him. It was much colder outside than inside, and he coughed when he went out. Wave your hand and signal the driver to drive.

The driver trotted over for a short time, and waited until he got into the car before he said, "The doctor said that you should stop drinking until your body recovers." ”

Cheng Wei closed his eyes and leaned back on the seat and did not speak.

Zhou He was late when she left that night, and she let out all the customers before she let out a long sigh of relief. I went back to the hotel to get my clothes, talked to the manager and was about to leave. That Meng Gongzi didn't know where to come out of nowhere, and said, "Miss Zhou, your Mr. Meng has already left." It's too late, and she'll tell me to send you back. ”

Although he used a serious tone, there was a bit of mischievous flavor in his tone.

Zhou He looked at the time and knew that the car was not easy to fight at this time, so he didn't shirk it anymore and thanked him politely.

She was wearing a down jacket, but she still couldn't help but shiver when she went out. Meng Yu asked her to wait in the hotel, and he drove the car out of her before she went out.

Zhou Hena asked people to wait, said that it was okay, and went to the parking lot with him.

She couldn't find a topic to say, and Meng Yu would ask about Meng Shan from time to time. Before the two of them could get to the car, a red-faced sports car sped over from the parking lot. The speed of the car is staggering. It looked like a young woman.

Meng Yu couldn't help but snort. As soon as the sound fell, the sports car reversed again. The window was lowered, revealing a young and beautiful face.

Shen Yue's face had exquisite makeup, she took off her sunglasses and threw them aside, the corners of her lips raised, and said, "Isn't this Sister Xiao Zhou, it's quite a coincidence." ”

The expression on Zhou He's face remained unchanged, and he greeted politely: "Sister Shen Yue." ”

Shen Yue seemed to be smiling, her eyes swept to Meng Yu's body, and said, "Is this your boyfriend?" Zhou He didn't speak, she continued: "Your boyfriend, I don't know that you seduce a married man, right?"

Her tone was full of bitter sarcasm.

Zhou He's face had a faint expression, and he said, "Sister Shen Yue, how is Senior Brother Xu's character, I believe you know it very well." ”

These words stung Shen Yue, her face changed, she stopped talking, and started the car and drove away.

Zhou He was a little tired and didn't say anything. Meng Yu also didn't ask anything, walked to the side and opened the car door.

Zhou He didn't speak all the way, and kept looking sideways out the window. She was faintly worried about Xu Yuanning, and wanted to call him to ask, but she was afraid that Shen Yue would make trouble with him because of this, but in the end she didn't call.

Zhou He's year was not spent here, but in the Li family's old house. This year's Chinese New Year is lively, and Li Ying's family is back. A large family gathered in the old mansion.

Zhou He only passed in the afternoon of the New Year, and everyone brought gifts. It's been a few years since I saw He Xing, and he has grown into a young man. He was not angry because of Zhou He's failure to make an appointment, and he was still a sister, a sister, and he kept shouting.

Although Li Ying's makeup is still delicate and elegant, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes have become obvious. Maybe it's because the children around him are all older, and they suddenly feel guilty about Zhou He. asked vaguely with concern whether Zhou He had a boyfriend.

After learning that there was none, he planned to introduce the young talents around He Changhui to Zhou He, but Zhou He refused in silence.

Xu Yuanning called Zhou He after the New Year's dinner, and learned that she was relieved after the New Year in the Li family's old house, and wished Zhou He a happy New Year.

Zhou He originally wanted to ask Shen Yue, but remembering that it was a big Chinese New Year, it was not appropriate to mention it, so he didn't ask in the end.

Zhou He stayed in the Li family's old house for two days, and on the morning of the second day of junior high school, Li Peiyuan called Zhou He to the study after receiving a phone call. With a solemn face, he asked, "Has Yuan Ning called you recently?"

Zhou He's heart chuckled and said, "I fought on the night of the New Year, what's wrong?"

Li Peiyuan stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows again, and said, "He said last night that he was going to see his friend go out, but he hasn't gone home yet, and his phone can't get through." ”

From last night to now, it's going to be twenty-four hours soon. The child was carried by him, and it was impossible for him to stay outside for so long without saying a word.

Zhou He's heart sank little by little, and he immediately said, "I'll go to the place where he lives and have a look." ”

Li Peiyuan stopped her and said, "No need to go, his family must have already been." "I must have found everything I could find, so I called to ask.

Zhou He was anxious and asked, "Then what now?"

Li Peiyuan pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go over and have a look first." ”

Zhou He couldn't sit still, and immediately said, "I'll go with you." ”

Li Peiyuan nodded and went to get the car keys.

When the two arrived at Xu's house, the lights in the Xu family's house were bright, and Xu Yuanning's parents and uncle were there. The faces are all solemn. Upstairs, there was a faint sound of children crying.

The aunt brought Zhou He and Li Peiyuan in, and Xu's father stood up, and after a few words of greeting with Li Peiyuan, he politely said that he would trouble him to come over.

Just as she was about to talk about Xu Yuanning, the aunt upstairs hurriedly ran down and said to Mrs. Xu: "Madam, the little young master has been crying, and he can't coax him." ”

Mrs. Xu asked people to call the doctor over, and said worriedly: "This child is still fine this morning, and he has been crying for his father since noon." ”

She said and asked Li Peiyuan to sit first, and then got up to go upstairs to see the children.

The child cried heartbreakingly, and Zhou He also stood up and said, "Auntie, I'll go with you." ”

At this juncture, Mrs. Xu did not refuse, said yes, and took her upstairs.

The little one's voice was already hoarse from crying, and his eyes were already red and swollen. Mrs. Xu took him into her arms, and he was still crying.

Mrs. Xu didn't take him much, so she was helpless. Zhou He stepped forward and whispered that she would try, and then took the child over. Gently patting the child.

The child was listless, and gradually calmed down under her coaxing. He was tired from crying, and while muttering about his father, he fell into a deep sleep.

Mrs. Xu breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Zhou He.

Zhou He was worried about the situation on Xu Yuanning's side, and sincerely asked Mrs. Xu not to be polite, and the two went downstairs together.

The Xu family has already asked people to look for them outside, and they are also adjusting the monitoring. Then sitting is not the way, and after discussing it, everyone will find it separately. Mrs. Xu stayed to watch the children, and if Xu Yuanning came back, she would call.

Xu Yuanning's disappearance is strange, because the current factional dispute has always been sensitive. Now there are no clues, and I don't dare to draw conclusions easily, so I can only mobilize all forces to find out.

It's so easy to find someone in the huge Kyoto, and there is no clue until dawn. He didn't drive out, he took a taxi. The car went around to the south, and when he got off the side of the road, he entered an alley. There was no surveillance in the alley, and there was no trace of it.

It's been more than 30 hours, and the family hasn't received any extortion calls. It was as if he had just vanished into thin air.

His communication records were also called up, and he had received several phone calls before leaving, one of which was from a colleague, and the other were unfamiliar numbers, and he couldn't find anything.

It is undoubtedly irritating that there is no news at all, and it seems that there is no other way but to wait.

The Xu family has something to do with the Xu family, and it is inconvenient for her to stay with Li Peiyuan. The two didn't go back, and asked door to door in the small alley that Xu Yuanning walked into.

But when he came out, it was already night, and no one noticed. There are hardly any clues.

Both of them didn't sleep all night, and after asking them one by one, Li Peiyuan said, "Ahe, you go back and rest first......

Zhou He could sleep somewhere, shook his head, and said, "I'll ask around here again, little uncle, go back and rest." ”

She was very anxious, but she restrained herself stubbornly. She had already called and asked Senior Brother Qiu, as well as Senior Brother and Senior Sister over there in Yucheng, and everything she could think of had already been contacted. But no one has ever contacted Xu Yuanning.

Looking for it like this is just looking for a needle in a haystack, Li Peiyuan looked at the time and said, "Let's eat first." ”

Both of them didn't eat much, and Zhou He responded with a good word.

When she was eating beef noodles, she suddenly remembered Shen Yuelai. put down the chopsticks and said, "Little uncle, there is another person, Senior Brother Xu may have contacted her." ”

At this time, it was natural that he couldn't let go of a little clue, Li Peiyuan's movements paused, and asked, "Who?"

Zhou He said Shen Yue now.

Li Peiyuan naturally knew Shen Yue, his brows furrowed, he didn't know what he thought, and said, "I'll call and ask." ”

He was going to call the Xu family.

Zhou He stopped him and said, "Don't ask yet." The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and if there is a clue, it is not too late to tell them. ”

Li Peiyuan didn't have any objections, he knew Shen Yue's father and brother. But the matter of Xu Yuanning's disappearance was suppressed, and now the Xu family has not revealed it. Li Peiyuan asked Shen Yue's phone number if it was inappropriate, and after a few words of greeting with Shen Yue's brother, he said that Zhou He had something to do and wanted to find Shen Yue.

Because of her relationship with Li Peiyuan, Shen Yue's brother was polite to her. I heard that she had also stayed abroad with Shen Yue, and she didn't think much about it after that. When he heard that Zhou He wanted to see Shen Yue, he was a little embarrassed and said that Shen Yue went out after arguing with his family on the night of the New Year, and he has not come back these days.

She had a headache for this sister, and she didn't want to mind her business. said that he could give Zhou He her phone number and asked Zhou He to call her.

Zhou He wrote down the number, thanked him, and then hung up the phone.

But when she went to call Shen Yue, her phone was turned off and she couldn't get through.

This should be put in normal times, and it is normal for her to lose her temper and disappear. But now is a sensitive period, Li Peiyuan groaned a little and then called Xu Yuanning's father. said that Shen Yue ran away from home on Chinese New Year's Eve and turned off his mobile phone.

Shen Yue has always been extreme, and after giving birth to a child, there was a lot of trouble. Because there is still no clue about this matter, and no one has called. Father Xu groaned slightly, and then said that he would communicate with the Shen family first. thanked Li Peiyuan again and again, and invited him to his home. If something really happens, ask him for help.

Li Peiyuan responded.

After the matter was spread out, it was much simpler, and after learning that Xu Yuanning was missing, Shen Yue's father and brother looked for her. But except for knowing that Shen Yue had taken a sum of money, there was no news after spending one night in the hotel on Chinese New Year's Eve.

And one of the numbers that called Xu Yuanning was the one that Shen Yue went to do after he returned.

This shows that most of Xu Yuanning's disappearance is related to Shen Yue. If it's a factional fight, or if it's been kidnapped, it's been so long, and the other party will definitely ask for ransom or make demands.

The people of the Shen family began to look for Shen Yue everywhere, and also checked the relationship in Shen Yue's social circle.

I don't know if Shen Yue was premeditated or improvised, but there was no warning.

This marriage that sacrificed Xu Yuanning is now like this, and the one who regrets it the most is Xu's father and Xu's mother. Although the Shen family was actively helping to find it, and they repeatedly apologized, it was useless.

Although Xu's father was strong, Xu Yuanning's mother fell ill that night. Most of the children also felt the unusual depression at home, and the whole person was sad, but they no longer cried.

Zhou He's heart was so depressed that she didn't dare to think about what it would be like if something really happened to Xu Yuanning, and his parents learned that this child was not his flesh and blood.

Although the people of the Xu and Shen families were looking for it, they also did not have any news from Shen Yue. As time passed, Xu Yuanning's uncle couldn't hold back and had a conflict with the Shen family. scolded the Shen family for not teaching their daughter well, and asked the police to deal with it.

The Xu family and the Shen family's faux pas are united, and they are no longer comparable to the power of the police department. I want to call the police, but I don't want to hide it anymore.

But if this matter gets out of trouble, if this matter really has something to do with Shen Yue, she will be ruined in the future.

Just when the two families were in trouble, news came from the Shen family. said that Shen Yue appeared at the hotel where she was staying. But I didn't see Xu Yuanning.

The Shen family breathed a sigh of relief, and the group hurried to the hotel.

Seeing Shen Yue but not Xu Yuanning, Zhou He was a little uneasy. She suppressed this uneasiness and rushed to the hotel.
