Yan Xi muttered, "What if Wen Ruan doesn't want to go?"

Huo Jinshen looked down at her, and then said, "I talked to Wen Ruan, and she agreed." ”

Yan Xi didn't say anything, he wasn't surprised or took it for granted. She still looked at the pair of dolls lightly, blinked her eyelids, and said, "I'm a little sleepy, let's sleep." ”

Huo Jinshen looked at her, they hadn't chatted so intimately for a long time, and seeing her sleepy yawn, Huo Jinshen's interest in chatting also faded. He picked her up and put her on the bed, and his body pressed down, the tip of his nose rubbing against her neck.

"Yan Xi ......"

Yan Xi felt that he could no longer take birth control pills, and he tried to do this kind of thing as little as possible. She turned her head sideways, closed her eyes and said, "I'm tired......"

Huo Jinshen raised her head, saw her lack of interest, and exhaled.

This kind of thing is about your love and my willingness, and he is not interesting alone.

Huo Jin touched her ears deeply and watched her eyelashes flutter slightly. She has always been alive and well, where could she be sleepy so early.

He knew that because Wen Ruan was a little unhappy, he also thought of a solution, why was she still so cowardly.

Huo Jin said in a deep and hoarse voice: "Really sleepy?"

"Hmm......" Yan Xi closed his eyes and nodded, reluctant to talk more.

Before Wen Ruan completely left Jiangcheng and left the empty mountain and new rain, she would not let her guard down. At this time, in the face of Huo Jinshen's request, she could only refuse coldly.

Huo Jinshen exhaled another breath of turbidity, turned over and lay on his back, his arms pillowed under his head.

Yan Xi closed his eyes, he didn't know what he was doing, he didn't know what he was thinking, he could only hear the undulating breathing sound next to him.

After a while, hearing the sound of breathing next to her even down, she gently rolled over and fell asleep beside him.

After New Year's Day, the pace of entering the Spring Festival will be faster. At the end of the year, various meetings were held in turn, and they were busy attending various banquets at night, and both of them were so busy that they went home late every day, and they were so tired that they fell asleep.

Yiyantang's newly opened jewelry company, which was proposed by Yan Xi and facilitated, she was busier than in previous years, and she couldn't wait to be able to divide another person to deal with things, at this time, she couldn't take care of Wen Ruan.

Her period is not punctual, but she will not be absent every month, Huo Jin looked at the sleeping Yan Xi, and didn't know what was wrong with her with a sullen face.

The Spring Festival is approaching in a blink of an eye, Yan Xi, the married daughter, must go home to visit relatives and pay New Year's greetings, and Huo Jinshen, as the other half, must also accompany her.

Fireworks are usually prohibited in Jiangcheng, but the ban is lifted during the Chinese New Year, and the sound of fireworks and firecrackers on the streets comes and goes. The street where the Yan Mansion is located belongs to the old neighborhood, and the road is not so wide, and when the car passes by the fireworks, the sound of banging makes the car like a flat tire.

Yan Xi had already gotten used to it, Huo Jin frowned deeply, and his face showed a little displeasure. Fortunately, the car quickly stopped at the Yan Mansion.

At the door of Yan Mansion, Yan Bei waited at the door as always, and when she saw Yan Xi's car coming, she immediately greeted her.

"Third sister, brother-in-law. Yan Bei stepped forward to say hello, Yan Xi touched the little girl's head, "Why are you so well-behaved this year, you didn't ask for a red envelope when you came up?"

Yan Bei is the youngest in the family, and no matter how hard the Yan Mansion fought openly and secretly in the past, it couldn't affect her. The whole family loves her, and every time it is a holiday, she can ask for red envelopes.

Yan Bei smiled and said, "I'm seventeen years old, how can I rob blatantly." ”

She became the chief spokesperson of Yiyantang, and she became much more mature and stable, and she no longer jumped out of the past. Yan Xi glanced at her, relieved, and said, "I finally don't have to send red envelopes to my sister." ”

There is no New Year's money between peers, but Yan Bei is ten years younger than Yan Xi, which always makes Yan Xi feel like an elder, and gives her a New Year's bag every year.

Yan Bei pursed her lips: "Sister, no wonder others say that you slam the door." If I don't ask for it, you won't give it. ”

Yan Xi smiled at her: "You can ask your brother-in-law to ask for it, he has money." ”

Huo Jinshen was able to marry Yan Xi, Yan Bei contributed a lot, and the two were allies to some extent. Huo Jin consciously took out a red envelope, and Yan Bei touched it through the red paper bag, vaguely feeling that you were a bank card.

Having a rich brother-in-law makes it feel different. Yan Bei grinned and pursed her lips.

The group walked inside.

The Yan Mansion during the Chinese New Year finally resumed its previous liveliness, Yan Xi came back for dinner, and Yan Tong also came back, it can be said that whether the family is united or not, the personnel are all here.

At the dining table, everyone put down the gap between the past and politely talked about the wine, Yan Zhengyu, as the patriarch, everyone toasted one by one.

Yan Xi's heart is very calm, she has lived in this family for twenty years, and there is not a day when she is not depressed, and the feeling of depression in her heart is no longer there.

It is said that when her daughter gets married and returns to her parents' home, she will feel a sense of loss when she is treated as a guest, but she has no idea at all, and she is happy to be this guest.

Maybe she still has to make a comparison, jumping out of this circle, she feels a lot more relaxed.

Yan Tong made such a big mistake, but at this time, it is appropriate to talk about happy events, those bad things, as if when the dust was dusted on the eighteenth day of the lunar month, it was dusted off along with the old dust.

Yan Xi looked at Yan Tong silently, thinking that he had seen her in a private clinic that day.

Situ Wei hadn't found out what she was doing at the clinic that day. However, she observed Yan Tong at this time and saw that her face was ruddy, and she seemed to be a little fatter.

There may not be such a thing as a wide heart and a fat body......

Yan Xi pondered in his heart, and lowered his head and took a sip of Moutai.

The mellow Moutai entered the throat, and there was a burning sensation in the throat, which spread all the way to the stomach, as if to burn all the things that had settled in the stomach.

Yan Xi grinned and frowned, Huo Jinshen took a chopsticks pickled cucumber and put it in her bowl at the right time, Yan Xi ate it in one bite, the crispness and sweetness of the cucumber diluted the spicy of the wine.

Yan Zhengyu glanced at Huo Jinshen and asked, "I heard, you plan to make new materials?"

Huo Jin said: "Environmental protection is a major trend, whether it is fuel or daily necessities, there is a lot of space in it. ”

Huo Jinshen hired scientists with a high salary, and Yan Xi also knew about the establishment of the laboratory, and Yan Xi was attracted by Yan Bei after listening to it.

Yan Bei said in a low voice: "Sister, I want to enter the entertainment industry, do you agree?"

Yan Xi's eyes moved slightly, and he didn't have a seizure. She took a piece of winter bamboo shoots with her chopsticks and took a bite lightly, pretending to be curious and asked, "Why did you suddenly have this idea?"

Yan Bei said: "Haven't I already been the chief spokesperson...... she took out her mobile phone and opened Weibo, "Sister, look at the number of fans I have now." I think it's good for me to be in acting. ”

The advertising shoot of the zodiac sign has ended, and once it was launched, the results were remarkable. It can be said that Yan Xi's anniversary celebration has been hot until now.

Yan Xi looked at Yan Bei's eyebrows and said, "With your appearance, if you want to say that you have entered the entertainment industry, coupled with the identity of the fourth lady of Yiyantang, as well as the influence of your brother-in-law, you can mix like a fish in water in the circle." ”

Yan Bei grinned happily: "I think so too." ”

"Sister, so, do you agree?"

Yan Xi slowly finished eating the winter bamboo shoots and said, "I'm more curious, why do you suddenly want to enter the entertainment industry?"

Yan Bei's fingers flexibly peeled the prawns, and put the shelled shrimp on the plate in front of Yan Xi, Yan Xi looked at her so attentive, and a fire was born in her heart, but at the dinner table, she was still smiling.

Yan Bei said: "Many of my classmates are ready to enter the entertainment industry, and some have signed with brokerage companies. Sister, I think, if I become a star and become popular, wouldn't it be the best publicity for our Yiyantang?"

"You asked me to be the chief spokesperson of the 12 zodiac signs, didn't you just want to enhance my influence in Yiyantang. When I become a big star, isn't this more influential than a spokesperson?"

Yan Xi nodded: "It sounds like this." ”

Yan Bei felt that there was a play, and asked again: "Third sister, what do you mean?"

"Have you discussed it with Grandpa?"

Yan Bei glanced at the old man, Yan Zhengyu was still discussing the new material project with Huo Jinshen, and didn't notice her.

Yan Bei hasn't mentioned it to the old man yet, although the old man is the head of this family, many things are still decided by Yan Xi, and the old man has to discuss with her. Yan Bei knew very well that as long as this matter passed Yan Xi first, the old man's side would not be a problem.

Yan Xi knew what she was thinking by looking at Yan Bei's expression. She didn't say whether she agreed or disagreed, but said, "Eat first, and then talk later." ”

Yan Bei didn't dare to provoke her, and obediently swallowed the words in her stomach.

After dinner, the whole family moved to the living room, the heating in the room was turned on sufficiently, Yan Xi was very full, half lying on the sofa and drowsy, Yan Bei's bright eyes stared at her, so that Yan Xi had to lift her spirits.

Yan Xi took an orange, the fragrance of the orange peel when it was torn was emitted in the air, she pinched the orange peel and put it under her nose and smelled it, feeling a lot more energetic.

She sniffed the orange peel and said, "Beibei, do you remember what you said when you promised me to enter Yiyan Hall?"

Yan Bei lowered her head and peeled her fingernails, and said, "Remember." ”

At that time, she said that she would take care of the family, take care of her mother to protect herself, and then lead Yiyantang to a higher place.

Yan Xi said: "After entering the company, I feel under pressure and want to retreat?"

After all, Yan Bei is young and has not suffered much, she really grew up in a honey jar. The young man's enthusiasm will make her excited for a moment and make a promise, but the reality is very cruel.

She was still a student, and she couldn't keep her homework behind, and she had to learn about business, which made her lose a lot of fun. She could no longer grow up like a carefree girl.

Under pressure, as long as there is a temptation that makes her a little easier, she will be lured through.

Yan Xi's afterglow glanced at Yan Tong.

She sat far away from her, watching TV with the back of her hand on her chin, watching the cross talk program intently, as if the people around her were saying something, she didn't care at all, everything in the Yan family, she didn't care at all.

Yan Xi understands Yan Tong, her character, how could she be willing to fail.

When Yan Xi heard Yan Bei propose to enter the entertainment industry, he roughly guessed why Yan Tong was so quiet during this time. Quiet enough to ignore her presence.

She is going to ruin Yan Bei, as long as she has no intention of inheriting the family business, Yiyan Tang will still return to her hands.

Yan Xi retracted his gaze, threw the orange peel with the juice out into the trash, and took out a tissue to wipe his hands.

Yan Xi's tone was not heavy, and her voice was not loud, but when she heard it in Yan Bei's ears, she knew that she was going to be angry.

She said, "Sister, I didn't say that I wanted to put down Yiyantang. Those stars are not like this, many of them are developing in the entertainment industry first, and the company can find professional managers to take care of it. I don't think I have what it takes to hold up such a big company. ”

Looking at Yan Bei's somewhat depressed face, Yan Xi said, "Beibei, you are only seventeen years old, and you still have a long way to go." With me and grandpa teaching you, your achievements can be infinite. But if at this time, you plan to give up, and you really don't have half the ability to shake the company in the future. ”

"You are the chairman, and you are developing in the entertainment industry, and the company is lost to others to manage, such a simple pie, who drew it for you?"

Yan Bei hung her head and didn't dare to say anything, so she didn't mention it if she knew it.

Yan Xi couldn't help but be a little glad that Yan Bei had always respected her and had a good relationship with her, so she asked her opinion first, instead of cutting it first and then playing it.

Yan Xi is not in the Yan Mansion, the old man is busy with the company's affairs, and he can't keep an eye on her all the time, Shen Makeup is soft-eared, and Yan Donglin has no foresight...... Yan Xi let out a turbid breath, leaving this home, but she still couldn't let her worry.

Yan Xi said: "Yan Bei, entertainment stars are indeed glamorous. But you've seen the complexity of this circle. Do you think you can grow red? Those who are red at you, pour dirty water on you, and your words and deeds are magnified like a magnifying glass, and you are slightly accidentally criticized and written. At this time, it is impossible for you to get rid of the identity of Miss Yan Si. ”

"Yiyantang will suffer losses because of you, and maybe it will plummet. Without Yiyantang, you are no longer the rich third generation of scenery, and without support, how can you get along in the entertainment industry?"

Yan Bei's head hung lower.

Yan Xi continued, and she said, "So, your best way is to become the helmsman of Yiyan Hall. You are Yiyantang, Yiyantang is you, and when that time comes, you don't have to be afraid of anything!"

Yan Xi's words were said to Yan Bei, but his eyes kept falling on Yan Tong's body. She must have stretched out her ears to eavesdrop.

Yan Xi just wanted to tell her and let her fight Yan Bei's idea less. Although she left the Yan family, she will always be her opponent!

Yan Tong gritted his teeth angrily, Yan Bei, a stupid person, actually went to discuss with Yan Xi. took her to the idol's birthday party and helped her match, all these efforts were in vain.

After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at the Yan Mansion, I still have to go to Ying Shu.

It's late again, but Ying Shu has prepared a table of dishes, and it's still hot.

Ying Shu wore an apron, which was incompatible with his tall and burly image. Yan Xi looked funny and sad: "Dad, it's so late, you eat it yourself, why do you have to wait for me." ”

Ying Shu's apron was no longer off, and he walked to the table with mulberry wine, and he said, "You think I'm waiting for you." The market has been very busy these days, and I have just returned home. These hot dishes are all bought at the deli and heated in the microwave. ”

Yan Xi laughed and said, "It seems that I am self-inflicted." She held out her hand and asked him for New Year's money.

Ying Shu glared at her: "Do you still have the cheeks, what kind of red envelopes do you want when you get married?" He looked at Huo Jinshen and pointed at Yan Xi, "Look at her big face." ”

Yan Xi didn't care about Huo Jinshen's eyes, and said, "If you get married, it's not your daughter?"

Ying Shu ignored her this year, poured Huo Jin a glass of wine, and said, "Don't think about your red envelope." When my grandson is born, I will make a big red envelope. ”

This is the birth.

Yan Xi rubbed his temples and pretended not to hear.

Yan Xi has always felt that her life is strong, but she didn't expect that even if she is as strong, she has also experienced marriage urging and birth.

Just when Yan Xi was depressed, Ying Shu had already talked to Huo Jinshen: "You have been married for a few months, have you thought about the world of two people and plan to give birth later?"

Huo Jin glanced at Yan Xi deeply and replied, "No, we have always gone with the flow." ”

Ying Shu looked at Yan Xi, and then at Huo Jinshen, wanting to say something, but swallowed back the words to his mouth.

After dinner, when Yan Xi went to wash the dishes, Ying Shu walked in and closed the door. When Yan Xi heard the sound of the door closing, she knew that her father had something to say to her.

She didn't take the initiative to speak, buried herself in washing the dishes, and her hands were full of foam.

Ying Shu stood on the edge of another pool, took her bowl full of foam, glanced at her, and asked casually, "That woman still lives with you?"

Yan Xi knew that Ying Shu would mention Wen Ruan. She didn't want her old father to worry, so she didn't reveal any wind to him. She said: "After this winter vacation, she went to Liangcheng to learn painting." Huo Jinshen found a famous teacher with her, and after a few years of study, she became a painter. ”

Ying Shu put his mind at ease, and was about to say something when the door was opened, and Huo Jinshen said eagerly: "Yan Xi, let's go back immediately." ”

According to the original plan, they went to Yan's house for dinner first, and then returned to Yangdong Town, accompanied Ying Shu for the New Year, and then went back for one night here.

Yan Xi looked surprised: "What's wrong?"

Huo Jinshen didn't wait for anything to say, grabbed her hand, and said to Ying Shu: "Dad, there is a bit of a rush at home, I have to go back first, and come back later." ”

After speaking, he pulled Yan Xi out, his steps were so big that Yan Xi had to trot to keep up with him.

"Huo Jinshen, what's so urgent at home. You wait for me, the shoes are going to fall off. ”

Huo Jinshen said as she walked: "Sister Mei called just now and said that Wen Ruan was gone. ”

Yan Xi sighed in his heart, Wen Ruan is gone?

She stays in the empty mountain and Xinyu, where else can she run?

Yan Xi felt like a stone in his heart, and Huo Jinshen also urged the driver to speed up all the way. The road was galloping, Huo Jinshen got out of the car and hurriedly walked inside.

Sister Mei stood at the gate and looked around, and when she saw Huo Jinshen and Yan Xi coming, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sir, madam, Miss Wen is gone! I have asked the people from the ranch to help me find it, but I haven't seen anyone now." ”

Yan Xi said, "Sister Mei, when did you find out that Miss Wen was missing?"

Sister Mei said: "I still see her when I cook dinner at night, and I will go to her room when I finish dinner...... The door to her room was closed, and I thought she was painting in it, so I didn't bother her. ”

Later, seeing that it was too late, I went up to look for her again, and this time I knocked on her door and there was no response. I went in and saw that there was no one in the room! Her room was a mess and I didn't know how to get it. ”

Yan Xi's breath sank, which didn't mean that Wen Ruan was gone. She said calmly, "She may have gone out, has she looked for it over there?"

Sister Mei said: "I have searched all the places on the ranch. I called her phone, but no one answered, and I was scared, so I immediately called Mr. Huo. ”

There is one less person for the New Year, and she can't afford to be a maid, so where can she dare to drag on time.

At this time, Huo Jin held the mobile phone deeply, and there was a beep that no one answered. Yan Xi looked at his anxious look and comforted: "It's okay, Huo Zhuping is in Africa, it is impossible for her to run to the empty mountain and new rain." ”

At this time, Yan Xi's only worry was that Huo Zhuping would not give up. Could it be that the calm before was all about relaxing them?

Yan Xi's eyebrows were furrowed, a figure flashed beside him, Yan Xi turned his head to see that Huo Jinshen had already run out, calling someone as he walked.

Yan Xi sighed, and when she turned around, she looked at Sister Mei at a loss. She said, "I'll look for it again in the house." ”

In the distance, the sky was lit up by fireworks from time to time, and the bright light was accompanied by the sound of popping explosions. Yan Xi stood on the balcony, looking at the fireworks in the distance, and then looked at the surroundings of the new rain in the empty mountain, which was deserted here, only the light and shadow show of the science and technology house showed a brilliant sense of fireworks.

She had already rummaged through the house, the bathroom utility room, and even the wardrobe had been opened and seen, but there was no figure of Wen Ruan.

For the Chinese New Year, where did she run so well?

In the vast pasture, the lights flickering around are flashlights for searchers, and the names of shouts can be faintly heard in the wind.

Yan Xi tightened his grip on the railing of the balcony, asked for his lower lip, turned his head and ran downstairs.

Sister Mei walked out of the second floor and saw a figure like a gust of wind passing in front of her eyes. Yan Xi ran all the way to the top of the mountain along the path of Dongshan, the scenery of Jiangcheng here is the best, did Wen Ruan run out to see the night view?

She heard a rustling sound in the bushes, and she turned around in fright, and exclaimed, "Who's in there?"

"It's me. A familiar voice came, and Huo Jinshen held the mobile phone to illuminate it, with a disappointed face. Obviously, Huo Jinshen and Yan Xi had the same idea, thinking that Wen Ruan had come to the top of the mountain to see the scenery.

Obviously, they all guessed wrong.

Huo Jinshen's breath was disturbed because of mountaineering, and he said with a calm face: "I didn't see her." ”

Yan Xi looked around again, the top of the mountain was pitch black, there were only landscape lights, and it was difficult to see anything.

Yan Xi said: "Did she go to her place of work, or did she go out to eat?

Huo Jin said deeply: "She resigned from that boutique two weeks ago. ”

As for the other possibility of going out to eat, both of them knew that this possibility was very small.

Wen Ruan spends most of her time in Xinyu, and rarely goes out except for the days when she goes out to work.

Both of them looked around blankly with heavy faces. Suddenly, a voice came from below: "Found it, here!"

With a shout, all the light sources ran towards the place where the sound came from, and Yan Xi and Huo Jinshen also hurriedly ran over.

Although the mountain road has been repaired, it is more difficult to go down the mountain than to go up, Yan Xi stumbled and stumbled, and when he stepped on a small stone, he either almost broke his foot or almost fell.

All the way down, just as I was about to get closer, I heard a scream: "Don't come here!"

Yan Xi's footsteps paused, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly rushed down.

Huo Jinshen ran in front of her, and soon reached the back of the crowd, and when those people saw him, they all automatically stepped aside.

Yan Xi's footsteps slowed down, and he followed him inside. When she saw the person inside, her eyes slowly widened, and she lifted it in one breath, not daring to say anything.

Wen Ruan in front of him was only wearing a thin nightdress, the skirt was still torn, most of his shoulders were exposed, his clothes and skirt were stained with dust, dirty, and his face was helpless and terrified.

She clutched the dress tightly, her empty eyes staring around blankly, not knowing who she was looking at.

Behind her, there was a shallow incitement, which could only accommodate her alone. She curled up inside, still dodging inside, but there were rocks behind her, and she couldn't move in.

The rough stone cut through her skin, and the blood gushed out, making people feel terrified to look at.

Huo Jinshen paused slowly and said in a low voice, "Wen Ruan, what are you doing here?"

Wen Ruan's eyes were still empty, and he shrank like an ostrich with his head in his arms, and said sharply, "Don't come here!"

Huo Jinshen didn't dare to move again, and glanced back, Yan Xi's eyebrows had already twisted into a pimple. Now that the person has been found, she turned her head to the nearest person and whispered, "You go down the mountain first, there are me and Huo Jinshen here." ”

That person was the security guard of Kongshan Xinyu, and when Sister Mei found that the person was missing, she led King Kong to find it first.

King Kong only knew that he had found someone, and he screamed and showed off his merits. Wen Ruan covered her ears when she heard the dog barking and screamed: "Don't come here, don't chase me...... Please let me go, please let me go......"

"Brother...... Elder brother...... You save me, save me......"

The mournful voice made people feel uncomfortable and wanted to cry, Yan Xi immediately stabilized King Kong: "Shhh, don't scream." She touched King Kong's head and said to the security guard, "Tap down the mountain, don't make too much noise." ”

The security guard nodded, waved his hand, and asked everyone to follow him.

Yan Xi left a flashlight and stood quietly to the side, not daring to make a sound.

Wen Ruan cried, her body curled up even more, her arms seemed to be glued to her shoulders, as if they could no longer be separated.

That's knee-jerk self-defense.

Huo Jinshen looked at Wen Ruan, who was trembling, and when she saw her like this, she remembered what Huo Zhuping had done to her.

Eight years ago, was she like this, with no way to escape but to jump off a cliff?

At that time, did she do the same, calling him over and over again, but she couldn't wait for him to come?

Huo Jinshen's heart ached, and she was angry that she didn't stay with her.

He slowly stretched out his hand: "Wen Ruan, it's me, I'm here......"

Wen Ruan's body stopped trembling, slowly raised his head to look over, and called out uncertainly: "Brother?"

"It's me, I'm coming. ”

Wen Ruan looked at Huo Jinshen in a daze for almost a minute, and then he seemed to recognize him, and suddenly rushed out and pounced on Huo Jinshen's body: "Brother, you are finally here, I am so scared, do you know, I am afraid......"
