Yan Xi slowly developed Qin Shuangyin here, and occasionally Zhang Gege and Tong Qianni came to join in the fun, and the days were quite peaceful.

And the Yan family in Jiangcheng without Yan Xi is another world.

Inside the chairman's office.

Yan Donglin frowned and said, "Dad, Yan Xi is not in the company, and many things can't be decided, do you want to call her back." ”

As the president of the company, Yan Donglin is more often a hands-off shopkeeper, Yan Zhengyu was not in good health some time ago, and the company relied on Yan Xi even more. Yan Xi's holiday, many things fell on Yan Donglin's head. He has no ability to deal with things, and his subordinates do not obey him, and he often disobeys him, which makes him anxious.

Yan Zhengyu grinded the armrests of the chair back and forth, and the armrests were already oily and smooth after years of caressing. The old man's eyes were bright, and they shone slightly.

Compared with Yan Donglin's hindsight, Yan Zhengyu certainly knew what trick Yan Xi was playing. He said in a deep voice: "What, without her, the company can't operate?"

Yan Donglin was stunned: "Dad, what do you mean......" His eyebrows furrowed even tighter, "Dad, do you want to take charge of Yiyan Tang again?" ”

"Although Yan Xi is a little authoritarian, her business ability is here, so why should you bother with her. ”

"Seriously, Dad, Yan Xi also grew up in Yan's family, why should the family fight for you and me. The things that Yan Xi did were also for the sake of Yiyantang......"

The more Yan Donglin spoke, the more gloomy Yan Zhengyu's face became, and the old man slapped the handrail heavily and said, "Do you think I'm too old to be able to take charge of the company again!"

Yan Donglin was startled, and hurriedly reassured: "Dad, I didn't mean that." ”

"I see that you have been blown too much by that Shen makeup pillow wind, whatever she says is what she says!" Yan Zhengyu pointed to his son's nose and scolded, "Yan Xi was raised by the Yan family, so she should do things for Yiyantang, but if she wants to be the master of Yiyantang, it is a big mistake!"

"One day with me, I won't let her succeed!"

A roar of anger came into his ears, Yan Donglin calmly didn't dare to say anything, for fear of getting angry again. The old man is right, this suggestion to recall Yan Xi was asked by Shen Makeup.

Yan Zhengyu finished his anger, and when he saw his son's indifferent face, he only felt that there was another breath rushing above his head.

is obviously his own son, why don't he have any talent for business, and he doesn't have any courage. He can do it, but if he is asked to do something serious, he will only leave it to others to do.

If this son weren't useless, would he still have to go into battle when he was old!

"Get me out!"

Yan Zhengyu drove his son away and slapped the table in anger.

Yan Xi's prestige in the company has accumulated too high, and even he, the chairman, has a feeling that he has more than enough heart but not enough power.

……

The weather is hot, the pomegranate flowers are gone, small fruits are hung, the reclining chair under the tree is still there, a parasol is propped up, and there is an electric fan erected next to the chaise longue.

She stared at her bulging belly with disgust, her figure was gone, and it made her swollen, as ugly as she wanted.

During this period, the old man gave her several men, her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she had to implement the child's father before the child was born. But none of those men looked pleasing to the eye.

Although he was looking for a cheap father, Yan Tong didn't want to be too wronged by himself.

Mother Qin walked in, looked at her unhappy expression, and reminded in a low voice, "Miss, the master is back." ”

As soon as Yan Tong heard this, he turned over and sat up, tidied up his appearance, and managed his facial expressions, when the old man walked in, Yan Tong said with a smile: "Grandpa, why did you come back so early today." ”

Yan Zhengyu glanced at her, and Qin's mother glanced at his face, and put away the teapot on the small table: "I'll go make tea again." ”

As soon as Qin's mother left, Yan Zhengyu looked at Yan Tong and said, "Your belly is getting bigger day by day, have you figured out which one you want to be your husband?"

Yan Tong frowned, looking embarrassed: "Grandpa, I also want to settle down as soon as possible." It's just that in the end, I want to find a father for the child, I hope I really like him, and I won't be wronged in the future. ”

Yan Zhengyu was in a bad mood, but when he heard Yan Tong's words, the anger in his heart was a little less.

Yan Tong is now going to be a mother, of course, she has to think about her children. When Yan Donglin wanted to marry Shen Xiang into the house, if she was a vicious stepmother, he would never agree.

Yan Zhengyu sat down and said, "With the Yan family here, how can the child be wronged." ”

Yan Tong hung his head and said gloomily: "Grandpa, I know that you feel sorry for the child." But Grandpa, how long can you protect him?"

"Dad is a man who can't make up his mind, if you're gone, if that man treats us badly, I'll find someone to cry to. ”

"I know that I shouldn't have complained about what I did wrong, but for the sake of my children, I can only do that. ”

Yan Zhengyu looked at her aggrieved appearance, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, it's not like I'll let you get married now." Ay...... I'm also upset about the company. ”

In the past, Yan Tong was in the company, and the young and old could still discuss it, but now Yan Tong has long since left the center of power, she doesn't even work in Yiyantang, the old man has a feeling of being alone, and he doesn't know who to talk to if he wants to discuss things.

Yan Tong listened to his heavy tone, stood up and pinched the old man's back and shoulders, and said, "I heard that Yan Xi went on vacation, is there too much work in the company and too much pressure?"

Yan Zhengyu glanced at her, and his voice cooled down: "The company's affairs have nothing to do with you, you can just raise the fetus with peace of mind." ”

Yan Zhengyu has not forgotten how Yan Tong cheated the company, this kind of thing can be done by fraud and slander, and the old man has to ask the ancestor in the dead of night, what kind of evil he has created, and how the granddaughter he cultivated by himself is this virtue.

Yan Tong shut up, knowing that he had accidentally stepped on a thunderbolt. She rolled her eyes and said, "Grandpa, I didn't want to talk about going back to the company...... I don't have the face to go back to those things I did. However, I also know that Yan Xi has something to do with me going on vacation, and now the pressure is all borne by you, grandpa, and I feel uncomfortable. ”

"I also know that Yan Xi is trying to force you to make a decision. Otherwise, grandpa, I'd better move out first, right?"

Yan Zhengyu frowned, was silent for a moment and said: "What's the use of you moving out, you have no one to take care of you outside, something happens, what should my great-grandson do." ”

"And...... Yan Xi is not in the company, which is also good for me. ”

Qin's mother made a cup of fire tea again, and after serving it, she withdrew. Yan Zhengyu took a sip of tea, thinking about how to regain power in a short period of time and regain his prestige.

Yan Tong looked at him, knowing what he was thinking, he bit his lip and asked, "Grandpa is thinking about how to take Yan Xi's forces?"

Yan Zhengyu didn't speak, Yan Tong said it himself, and said, "Grandpa, Qin Shuangyin was bought by Yan Xi, I heard from a friend that there were many people walking over there." You said that she was on vacation at this time, was it to deal with Qin Shuangyin's affairs?"

Yan Zhengyu naturally knew Qin Shuangyin's movements, and he said indifferently: "Qin Shuangyin is over, if you don't want to starve to death, of course you have to find a job again." During this time, Yiyantang received a lot of cover letters from Qin Shuangyin's side. ”

Yan Tong said: "But my friend said that Qin Shuangyin is poaching people from other companies." Grandpa, Yiyantang is now a top company in the industry, and there are many talents, do you say that Yan Xi will she ......?"

In fact, what she really wanted to say was whether Yan Xi was doing tricks in her own company and transporting people to Qin Shuangyin.

Yan Zhengyu said coldly: "She doesn't dare." ”

At the beginning, he guarded against Yan Xi, not only to prevent her from snatching Yiyantang, but also to prevent her from running away and taking away the backbone of the company to start anew.

Right now, she bought Qin Shuangyin and had plans to start a new stove, but the people in Yiyantang did not move, obviously unwilling to follow her out to endure hardships again.

People are like this, starting from scratch, working hard for several years, finally rising to a high position, with a good salary, and a large group of people under his command to drink, it is the majestic time, who wants to let go of everything and start all over again?

Yan Zhengyu saw that the people who were heavy in Yan Xiqi did not move, and he was a lot more relieved. But the problem is that those people are not leaving, but he, the chairman, is also difficult to command. In this way, the company seems to have fallen into a situation where no one is convinced, and chaos is caused by the uproar.

Yan Zhengyu was depressed that he obviously had him, the chairman, sitting in the company, but it was like an ornament, not much better than Yan Donglin!

Yan Xi wants him to see it, that's it......

Yan Zhengyu narrowed his eyes slightly, a breath of depression condensed in his heart, he wanted to regain power, but he couldn't do it. If this continues, the gambling agreement with Huo Jinshen cannot be completed. At that time, don't you want him to show his old face and beg Yan Xi to come back?

Yan Tong watched his face become more and more ugly, and said tentatively: "Grandpa, what if...... Let Yan Xi go from a holiday to dispelling the idea of coming back?"

Yan Zhengyu turned his head to look at her: "Hmm, what do you mean?"

"You mean...... Let her resign herself?"

Yan Tong's hands were sour, he rubbed his arms, and walked back to the sofa to sit down. She said, "Grandpa, do you know that the twelve constellations planned by Yan Xi are actually to find her twin sister?"

"We were all lied to her. She stayed in the company and held on to Gemini in order to keep this channel to find her sister, which was not nostalgia at all. ”

Yan Zhengyu's brows tightened. It's one thing for Yan Xi to let the production line produce Gemini without permission, but it's another thing for her to use this channel for personal gain.

Yan Zhengyu asked, "Where did you learn about it?"

Yan Tong reluctantly smiled and said, "It's also my careful eye." Ever since I fought with her and failed, I've been struggling with this matter, and I found out the news later. But I've already left Yiyan Hall, so I won't mention it again. ”

Of course, she couldn't say that Xu Wanhua told her, but she just used the opportunity to give the old man some fierce information, so that he could strengthen his determination to get rid of Yan Xi.

Yan Zhengyu said: "She is looking for her sister, and the company is also making a profit, even if this matter is said, the people of the company will still look at her." ”

Those people will only say that she is affectionate and does him no good.

Yan Tong didn't dare to say her plan with Xu Wanhua at this time, so she let out an "oh" and didn't say anything more.

At the end of July, the weather is at its hottest, and the leaves are drooping, and there is a kind of suffocating heat when you go out. At this time, everyone wanted to hide in the air conditioner, but Shen Xiang had to go out.

At this time, the school had already been on summer vacation, but Yan Bei's school had summer activities, and Yan Bei also went to participate.

When I went out in the morning, the school called within two hours and said that Yan Bei had drowned and was sent to the hospital.

When she arrived at the hospital, Yan Bei had already woken up, Shen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but be angry: "You were not careful, you scared me so much that my soul was gone." ”

Yan Bei said weakly: "Not next time." And learning to swim and drowning is also a normal thing. ”

"I told you not to go, you want to go, it's not like you didn't learn when you were a child. Shen Xiang was still angry, she didn't like girls to be too lively. Yan Xi just followed her father, learned what sanda karate, and fought at school when she had nothing to do, making her look like a girl.

Yan Bei said helplessly: "Mom, my classmates can swim, and if I can't learn, I will be looked down upon." And now it's different from your time, swimming is a must. Forget it, I told you you don't understand either. ”

Shen Makeup was about to say something, but Yan Bei interrupted her and said, "Mom, I'm fine, I'll go back to the swimming pool in a while, so you can go back first." ”

After speaking, she jumped off the single bed, and Shen Xiang grabbed her and said, "It's all drowned, let's go home and rest today." And you haven't learned business yet. ”

Yan Bei was also angry and said, "Mom, I said, I'm going to continue studying......"

There were a few knocks at the door, interrupting Yan Bei's words, and the two turned their heads to look at the door together, and there was a boy standing at the door, tall and fair-skinned, especially a pair of eyes that were particularly beautiful.

The boy politely greeted Shen Makeup first, then looked at Yan Bei and said, "Classmate Yan Bei, are you okay, if you recover, we should go back." He looked at his watch to remind him of the time.

Yan Bei didn't wait for Shen Makeup to say anything, strode over, grabbed the boy's arm and walked out: "I'm already fine, don't let the teacher wait in a hurry." ”

When she walked to the door, Yan Bei stopped, turned her head to Shen Makeup and said, "Mom, go back, I'm fine." ”

Shen Xiang looked at her daughter for a while and disappeared without a trace, feeling lost in her heart.

Yan Xi left the company suddenly, she was already nervous, for fear that Yan Tong would return to the company again, and her little daughter was so disobedient, which made her very irritable. She looked at the empty bed, shook her head, and walked slowly outside.

The mobile phone in the bag rang suddenly, Shen Xiang glanced at the caller ID, it was an unfamiliar number, and she hung up. But after a while, the bell rang again.

Shen Xuan stood on the steps of the hospital hall and answered the phone impatiently: "Hey, who are you?"

The phone was quiet, Shen Makeup could only hear the other party's seeming breathing, thinking it was a harassing call, and when he was about to hang up, the person on the other end of the phone said, "Excuse me...... Are you Mrs. Yan?"

Shen Xiang was stunned and asked, "Who are you?"

……

The mysterious woman on the phone asked Shen Xiang to meet him, and the location was agreed to be in a shopping mall near the hospital.

The driver sent Shen Makeup to the mall, and then went to park, and it was only a few dozen meters away from the drop-off location to the gate of the mall, but Shen Makeup was hit by someone because he was restless and accidentally fell to the ground.

The road surface was hot from the sun, and Shen Makeup fell, his skin was broken, and he frowned in pain.

"Are you alright?" a soft voice came, and then a pair of soft hands supported Shen Xiang to help her stand up.

Shen Xuan thanked her, and when she looked back at the person who helped her, she was attracted by that beautiful face, and felt that this girl looked like she was made of water. She thanked her again.

Seeing that she was standing firm, the girl smiled slightly and said, "You have already thanked her." Her eyes looked at the people walking in the mall, "The weather is too hot, everyone's mood is impatient, they all want to hide in the air conditioner, and they don't know if they bump into people." ”

Shen Xiang smiled and nodded, only to feel that this unhurried girl was as gentle as water and would tolerate others. She said, "You're going to the mall too?"

The girl nodded: "Yes, I made an appointment." As she spoke, she looked at the time, and then at the injury on Shen Xiang's knee, with a look of embarrassment on her face. She hesitated and said, "Madam, you are injured, there should be a pharmacy in the mall, let's deal with it first." ”

After the girl finished speaking, she helped Shen Makeup to go inside, Shen Makeup looked at her and said, "Didn't you make an appointment, I'll go by myself, I can't delay you." ”

When she entered the mall, there was a rest chair in front of her, and the girl helped her walk over and said, "You sit here for a while, I'll go buy medicine, and I'll be done soon." ”

With that, she hurried to a convenience store and ran over in minutes. "Look, soon. ”

She opened the medicine bag, carefully cleaned the wound for Shen Makeup, put a band-aid on it, and said with a smile: "That's good." ”

Shen Xiang looked at the knee area, after cleaning it, the skin was still a little tingling, but it was relieved to clean it up. She thanked, "You're such a good girl." ”

The girl smiled shyly, pinched the torn package in the palm of her hand, and at this time, the driver strode towards Shen Xuan, and saw that there was one more girl, revealing some doubts.

The girl also saw him, and knew that she had come to find the lady, and smiled and said, "Your friend is here, and I should go too." ”

She nodded at the man, then turned away.

Shen Makeup's driver saw the band-aid on Shen Makeup's knee and hurriedly stepped forward: "Madam, why are you injured?" ”

Shen Xuan waved his hand, stood up and said, "It's no big deal, I'm going to see someone in a while, you can find a place to wait." ”

The driver dropped Shen off at a café and left. Shen Xiang looked down at his outfit before stepping inside. Her steps were steady, but her heart was beating fast.

The café has an elegant environment and there are not many people sitting inside. She followed the code given to her by the person on the phone, looked over the table, and saw a doll with braided hair on a table in the corner.

The man had his back to her, so he couldn't see her appearance, but looking at the dress, Shen Jiao's doubts deepened and became more curious.

She walked over step by step, walked around half of the table, and when she saw the man's face, she blurted out in surprise: "Why are you?"

The girl who was sitting was also stunned when she saw someone coming, and when she stood up in a hurry, the chair almost collapsed. She looked nervous and opened her lips, only to feel a dry throat.

They had met only a few minutes earlier, and she was both wonderful and nervous about this stranger.

"Ma'am...... You ......"

Shen Xuan glanced at the doll on the table, looked at the girl and said, "You asked me out?" As soon as she spoke, she changed her words, "So...... You said you made an appointment just now, is it me?"

The girl looked up and down carefully, her throat rolled, and then she turned and took a mask from her bag and handed it over.

"This ...... I'd like to meet the person who designed it. ”

Shen Xiang lowered his eyes, it was the twin stars of Yiyan Hall, Yan Xi tried to find the murmur through this picture. Her gaze slowly moved from the mask to the girl's face, looking at her inch by inch.

No one knew what was shaking in her heart, and she had to try to keep her composure, so she stood almost without movement, just quietly looking at the girl in front of her.

The girl's hands kept pinching the sides of the mask, keeping that movement motionless, and her heart was beating like a drum.

I don't know how long it took before Shen Xiang spoke: "Don't stand and talk, sit down first." ”

The two sat down separately, the girl glanced at her, thought of something, and hurriedly called the waiter, and said, "Madam, what do you like to drink?"

Shen Makeup was distraught, and she only felt groggy with too many stuff in her head, so she asked for a cup of black coffee. After the waiter left, she asked, "How did you know my phone number?"

The girl lowered her head and took a sip of coffee to calm down before she spoke, "I saw this mask on the container of Yiyantang. So I asked the store manager how I could find the designer of this picture. ”

Halfway through speaking, she smiled bitterly: "At first, they ignored me, thinking that I was here to find trouble. Later, I researched some information on the Internet and learned that this mask has been around for a long time......"

Her voice choked: "...... I think this picture is related to me, I want to find a designer, and I have found many ways......"

When the waitress brought the coffee, the girl turned her head sideways and wiped her eyes, avoiding the gaze of others and giving herself time to stabilize her mood. After a while, she said, "The friend who helped me inquire told me the name Yan Xi." But I couldn't get through to her phone, so my friend gave me another number......"

She looked at Shen Makeup: "So, I found you." ”

After listening to the girl's narration, Shen Makeup pressed the excitement in her heart, pushed the mask over, and asked, "Why do you think this painting is related to you?"

The girl looked down at the picture with a sad face, and she said, "It's very similar to how I painted when I was a child...... Half of me, half of her......"

As if thunder was ringing in her ears, Shen Xiang trembled, some tears welled up in her eyes, she tried her best to restrain her emotions, and asked in a trembling voice, "You...... What's your name?"

"Mutter...... The nickname is Murmur, Ying Murmur. ”

As if a tight string in his body was broken, Shen Xiang opened his lips, but he couldn't pronounce a single syllable, and tears rolled down......
