Her fingers curled up subconsciously. The early morning sun poured in through the window and spilled onto the dining table. The skin on her face was almost transparent in the sun, and there was no blood on her lips.

Xu Yuanning stretched out his hand and patted her head gently. This kind of action has not been seen for a long time, and since he got engaged, they have deliberately kept their distance from each other. There is almost no time to even drink and chat together as before.

He was inexplicably a little sad, and said softly: "I will stay in Yucheng for the time being." I came back this time to talk to Uncle Ren. ”

Speaking later, his voice sank. The tone also carries a bit of seriousness and seriousness.

In fact, with his identity, it is not convenient to show up for the time being. Until now, he still didn't know why Cheng Wei asked him to come back to talk to Ren Yurong.

He is indeed a more suitable candidate, but if it weren't for him, Cheng Wei would have a way to ask about the whereabouts of things. When he came back this time, he didn't arrange anything else for the time being except to talk to Ren Yurong, and for the future arrangements, he needed to see the development of the situation.

Zhou He nodded silently.

Although they were collecting evidence everywhere, Zhou He knew that things would not be so simple. She looked up at Xu Yuanning and asked, "If you collect evidence, will it be useful?"

These things, whether it is Cheng Wei and Li Peiyuan, will not talk to her. Except for Xu Yuanning, she didn't have any sources at all.

Xu Yuanning habitually reached out to touch the cigarette, and as soon as his hand touched the cigarette case, he remembered that it was not in the mine, so he took it back. There was silence. After a while, he said softly, "It's useful." Although it may not be able to knock him down in one fell swoop, it can also make him devastated greatly. ”

Over the years, although Wei Renyi has been in power, he has always been low-key. There is hardly any negative news. But this battle is not with him alone, and the consortium behind him.

He used to be just an unknown little person, and he suddenly rose to prominence more than ten years ago. If Cheng Wei didn't guess wrong, there must be someone behind him and the consortium.

This person is deeply hidden, Cheng Wei investigated the people who have been around Wei Renyi over the years, but no suspicious characters have been found.

It is obviously not easy to find out the people behind him and bring them to justice together.

Zhou He nodded and didn't speak again. When it comes to this topic, the atmosphere is heavy. For the rest of the day, neither of them spoke again.

Zhou He didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, he looked at Xu Yuanning again and asked, "Senior Brother Xu, when are you going to go to the hospital?"

If he goes to the hospital, he must first support Tan Ziran. When he passes, she should be ready.

Xu Yuanning groaned slightly and said, "The sooner the better." ”

Ren Yurong's injury will have to stay in the hospital for at least three months. It's too long, just in case something happens. The sooner it passes, the better.

Zhou He naturally knew this, she thought for a while, and said, "Then tonight." I'll go over first, and I'll arrange to call you when the time comes. ”

For these things, it is undoubtedly most appropriate for her to come forward. Xu Yuanning was silent for a moment and nodded in response. And gave her his new number.

There was nothing at home, and Zhou He knew that it was inconvenient for him to go out, so he asked if there was anything he needed to bring.

Xu Yuanning told her not to worry, someone would send her if she was missing.

Zhou He remembered Cheng Wei and nodded. After packing up and exchanging a few words with Xu Yuanning, he went out.

The Ren family is not as good as before, and there is no one else in the hospital who comes to visit except Ren Yurong's students and teachers at the school. Ren Yurong has been in a car accident for a while, and everything that should have come has already come. It's deserted now. The only people who often stay in the ward are Tan Ziran and the children, who have not yet been discharged.

Tan Ziran was sitting in the back, and although the bleeding at that time looked scary, the injury was not very serious. During this time, I was able to walk on my own.

The child was frightened, and he was not as lively as before. I often wake up from my dreams at night. is often sticking to Tan Ziran.

Zhou He, as usual, went to the doctor's office and went to get the potion that should be used.

At night, a rare lively child asked Tan Ziran to accompany him to play with toys. Afraid that Ren Yurong would rest, Tan Ziran took him back to her ward.

Ren Yurong had already fallen asleep, Zhou He took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Xu Yuanning, and went to Tan Ziran's ward together.

After all, Tan Ziran's injuries are not over yet, and his energy to accompany the child is limited. Most of the time, Zhou He plays with the children.

For this half-sister, the child has no impression. But these days in the hospital, Zhou He has become dependent on him for his meticulous care. does not reject her, and occasionally holds the graphics put together in her hand for Tan Ziran to see.

Tan Ziran didn't know what she was thinking, she sat in a daze, and occasionally the little guy ran in front of her, and she barely squeezed out a smile.

When the child was tired of playing, Zhou He went to wash him and coax him to sleep, and she tidied up the ward.

Xu Yuanning is on Ren Yurong's side, she has to guard here to prevent Tan Ziran from passing.

The clothes had just been folded halfway, and Tan Ziran, who had been in a daze, suddenly said, "Ahe, thank you for this time." ”

The aunt at home watched her grow up since she was a child, and when something like this happened, although she was worried and anxious, after all, she was old, and many things had to be done carefully.

Their relationship is not close at all. She never imagined that one day, Zhou Hehui would do this without any complaints.

Zhou He didn't expect her to say this suddenly, he was slightly stunned, lowered his head and continued to sort out his clothes, and said, "You're welcome." ”

Tan Ziran's eyes were filled with tears, and he was stunned for a while, looked at Zhou He, and said, "If in the future, your father and I, if there is anything, can I ask you to take care of Xiaobao?"

Zhou He thought that she didn't know anything. But she obviously knew something.

Zhou He didn't know if she was testing something, so he didn't raise his head, continued to do the work at hand, and said, "The doctor said that you are all recovering well, and there will be nothing wrong." ”

Tan Ziran seemed to be broken, shook his head vigorously, and said, "It has nothing to do with this. She smiled miserably and said, "My parents and brother have had an accident, and even if I don't know anything, those people won't let me live alone." I haven't done anything for so many years, but I'm afraid that others will doubt me on the cusp. When I visited my dad in prison, he told me to leave the country as soon as possible. I thought it would be fine, and I didn't take his words seriously, this time, it was me who caused your father. ”

After a slight pause, she continued: "After their accident, I couldn't let go for a long time. I hated a lot of people, and now I understand. They have always been just butcher knives in the hands of others, and even if they are not caught, they will not end well. ”

The butcher's knife in the hands of others knows too many secrets, and sooner or later they will be wiped out. Only the mouth of the dead is the strictest.

"The only thing I'm worried about now is Xiaobao, he's still too young, if anything happens to us, he's ......" Tan Ziran choked up at this point.

Zhou He was silent and didn't speak, and said after a long while: "Don't think too much, take care of your injuries." When the injury is healed, if you plan to go abroad, make plans. ”

Tan Ziran's mood gradually calmed down, and she still fell asleep in the end. It wasn't until she let out an even breathing sound that Zhou He gently walked out of the ward and closed the door.

The corridor was quiet, and she was just about to go to Ren Yurong's ward. I saw Xu Yuanning, who was wearing a peaked cap and pressed low, coming out of the ward.

He had apparently seen her, but did not say hello, and the figure quickly disappeared at the end of the hallway.

Zhou He walked to the stool outside the ward and sat down, took out his mobile phone, and did not have any information. Xu Yuanning also did not send a text message.

She put her phone back in her coat pocket and sat down in the hallway.

In the evening she stayed vigil, and it was not until later in the evening when her aunt came to change shifts that she returned to the house.

I got out of the car at the door, and at a glance I saw Cheng Wei's car parked outside. She paused in her footsteps and took out the key to open the door.

Cheng Wei and Xu Yuanning didn't know what to talk about in the study, but Li was sitting on the sofa. Seeing her, she called Miss Zhou politely and coldly.

Xu Yuanning is considerate and careful, although I don't know if she will come back. Still made breakfast. All you need to do is heat it up.

She asked Li if he had eaten breakfast, and he said that after eating, he used the microwave to heat up the hot buns, and sat down to eat.

In the beginning, she had no appetite after staying up late. These days are used to it, not to mention that she still needs to go to work in the company.

After eating half of the breakfast, she probably heard the voice of Li Jing talking to her, and Cheng Wei and Xu Yuanning quickly came out of the study.

Cheng Wei didn't even greet her, and soon left with Li Jing. Xu Yuanning didn't send them, and gave Zhou He a glass of milk.

Zhou He had always been concerned about the results of his past last night, was silent for a moment, and asked, "Did he promise to take it out?"

Xu Yuanning's face did not change at all, put the milk in front of her, and said, "Uncle Ren said that he would think about it." When it comes to life, it's normal for him to be cautious. ”

Where Ren Yurong is moving, he can persuade people who move with emotion and reason. Without certain guarantees, he probably won't take things out.

Zhou Yiyi didn't speak, and after a long while, he asked, "What conditions did he put forward?"

Xu Yuanning sat down, paused slightly, and said, "I didn't mention any conditions." He didn't admit that he had something in his hands. just vaguely said that he wanted to go abroad after the injury was healed. ”

Sending him out of the country is not a big deal, and what they are worried about now is that if they send him abroad, they will not be able to get what he has in his hands. He is now using what he has in his hand as a bargaining chip, even if he is sent abroad, if someone offers a higher price, he may give it to the other party.

Yucheng is Cheng Wei's place, and once they get out of this place, they can no longer control the overall situation.

I have to say that by now, I almost didn't even have my life. Ren Yurong is still naïve. He wanted to use what he had in his hand as a bargaining chip, and he didn't want to see if he could control it.

Zhou He was silent and didn't speak, drank the milk, and then asked, "Senior Brother Xu, where might his things go?"

Xu Yuanning looked at her, she pursed her lips slightly, and there was no expression on her pale face.

He was silent for a moment and said, "According to Uncle Xiao Li and Cheng Wei's speculation, it should be something like a voice recorder and a ledger or incriminating evidence that can be pointed directly over there. To do things for that side, the Tan family will definitely have a back hand, and these things are the most convenient to keep. ”

After a slight pause, he continued, "Something must be hidden somewhere." Neither Uncle Ren nor his wife had a safe in their names. ”

As Ren Yurong, there are many places to hide things. It could be the school's office or a real estate office. The properties under his and Tan Ziran's names have several in Yucheng. Kyoto is also the same, and it is difficult to investigate.

Zhou He didn't speak now. She still had to go to the company, so she stood up as she cleaned up the table and said, "I'll try it." ”

Xu Yuanning stopped her and said, "No, it's inconvenient for you to come forward." If you had come forward, Uncle Ren would have thought that we were deliberately approaching him, and might even have arranged the accident. Since the other party already knows the existence of these things, they will also be tempted at the same time as coercion. ”

If Ren Yurong really has such suspicions, it is undoubtedly self-defeating.

Zhou He's body stiffened, slowed down, and then said, "I'll notice the people coming over the ward." ”

Xu Yuanning nodded in response.

Zhou He stayed up late in the hospital last night, and when he saw that there was still more than an hour before work, Xu Yuanning asked her to sleep for a while, and he would send her to work later.

Cheng Wei left him a car here.

It was inconvenient for him to show up, how could Zhou He let him send it. After learning that he was going to go out if he had something, he answered. After a small break, I went to the company.

There has been no progress on Ren Yurong's side, and even Li Peiyuan came here at the end of the month. After Zhou He learned that he would come over to talk to Xu Yuanning, he got off work early and went to the supermarket to buy vegetables.

When he went back, Li Peiyuan hadn't come yet, and was on the way from the airport. Xu Yuanning had just come back from outside.

Zhou He changed his clothes and got busy in the kitchen. First I boiled the soup, and then I started to prepare other dishes.

It was impossible for Xu Yuanning to watch her busy alone, so he also found an apron to tie it and help her choose vegetables.

Li Peiyuan came over quickly, and Zhou He hadn't started stir-frying when he came. Hearing the doorbell ringing, Xu Yuanning went out to open the door, and she continued to be busy in the kitchen.

Li Peiyuan was dusty, and before Zhou He went out, he came to the kitchen first. She told him to rest and eat in a moment.

Li Peiyuan smiled and went out quickly. Zhou He continued to be busy.

Xu Yuanning and Li Peiyuan exchanged pleasantries for a while, and also went into the kitchen to help serve dishes and chopsticks. Zhou He knew that all the dishes were ready, and when he went out, he found that Cheng Wei had also come over.

He sat in the corner of the couch and didn't speak much.

Zhou He didn't expect him to come over at all, he was slightly stunned, and then set up the dishes and chopsticks.

Xu Yuanning will also help when she is doing things, and both of them are wearing aprons, which is full of tacit understanding. It looks like a perfect match.

Since he came in, Xu Yuanning has been busy in the kitchen. Like the host is no longer like a guest who lives here temporarily.

Cheng Wei smoked a cigarette and didn't even glance at the restaurant, until the meal was served, he sat down.

They wanted to talk about something, and although Zhou He brought beer and red wine, he only opened one red wine. Li Peiyuan and Xu Yuanning only drank one glass, and Cheng Wei drank more. I don't know if he ate or what, he barely moved his chopsticks, he was drinking.

After eating, Zhou He cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and the three of them went to the study and talked about things.

They talked for a long time, and Zhou He changed several TV shows over and over again, but no one came out.

Cheng Wei was the first to come out, and although he drank wine, he couldn't see anything on his face. He didn't say hello to Zhou He, and walked outside directly.

Zhou He saw that Xu Yuanning and Li Peiyuan were still talking in the study, so he didn't go over, but sent Cheng Wei out.

As soon as he followed, Cheng Wei turned around and said lightly: "You don't have to come out, I will close the door." ”

Zhou Yi couldn't find anything to say, so he nodded.

Cheng Wei's people helped her a lot in the hospital, and after a slight pause, she said thank you.

Cheng Wei's figure paused slightly, said lightly, and opened the door and went out.

Zhou He stood for a while, and when he returned to the house, he saw Li Peiyuan and Xu Yuanning walking out. Xu Yuanning was a little surprised when he didn't see Cheng Wei, and said, "Is Mr. Cheng already gone?" He drank wine, didn't he say that he had to wait for the driver to come over?"

Cheng Wei didn't say this, so Zhou He said: "He didn't say it." ”

Xu Yuanning sighed, and when he went out to look, he found that Cheng Wei had already left in the car.

There are extra rooms here, and Zhou He originally wanted Li Peiyuan to live here as well, but he booked a hotel, sat for a while, and left. There are only two people left in the house, Zhou He and Xu Yuanning.

The two hadn't drunk together for a long time, and this time when they saw that there was still beer on the table, Xu Yuanning took it over, sat on the sofa and drank it with Zhou He.

Neither of them talked about those heavy topics, but talked about things that were easy and interesting when they were studying abroad or in school.

Only then did Zhou He remember to tell Xu Yuanning that Senior Brother Qiu was married and had children.

Xu Yuanning nodded and smiled slightly.

He didn't know what he remembered, took a sip of beer, looked at Zhou He with a pair of deep eyes, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Ah He, you and Cheng Wei ......"

The two of them had no communication today, and he couldn't see it.

The expression on Zhou He's face remained unchanged, and even showed a faint smile, saying: "He and I, whether before or now, are not people of the same world. ”

Around Cheng Wei, the most important thing is women. There is that Miss Wan by his side now, and there will be Miss Zhang and Miss Li in the future.

To this day, she still vividly remembers what he said that night in the hotel on Hop Huan Street. What she remembered, the good things he gave, from beginning to end, were just a premeditation.

The only thing he miscalculated was that although she was surnamed Ren, she didn't have anything for him to use.

To this day, she still doesn't know how she spent that time in his hot and cold years. When you are young, you have commendable courage, but you can be a moth to a fire.

She never regretted it.

However, now she no longer has the courage she had at the beginning. I don't think that a broken mirror can be glued together piece by piece. Even if it is glued, there are scars that cannot be crossed.

Forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes is undoubtedly the best ending. In the future, she will get married and have children, but that person will no longer be Cheng Wei.

In marriage, there is no need for love.

Xu Yuanning was silent now, didn't speak again, just drank wine. After a long time, he reached out and patted Zhou He's head, and said with a slight smile: "We must be happy in the future." ”

Zhou He thought of Le Lelai at this moment, looked up at Xu Yuanning, and asked hesitantly, "Senior Brother Xu, what are you going to do in the future?"

In his marriage to Shen Yue, he was not only greatly injured, but also almost lost his life. In the future, I don't know if he will face marriage with an optimistic attitude.

Xu Yuanning was slightly in a trance, smiled faintly after a while, and said, "I don't have any plans for the time being." But if there is a future, I will live a good life. Compared to so many others, what I have experienced is not much suffering. ”

Yes, he was happier than many, many others. Is there any reason not to live well?

He will live well and love every day.

Zhou He laughed slightly, raised the cup in his hand and touched it with Xu Yuanning, and said, "We all have to be good." ”

She finished her glass and drank the beer from her glass. Somewhere in her heart was empty, she closed her eyes and sat still.

It wasn't until he was slightly drunk that he said goodnight to Xu Yuanning, and then fell on the bed.

Zhou He suddenly remembered Aunt Qi at this time, if she was here, at this time, she must have been asking her to go on a blind date......

She remembered the bits and pieces of the past, she had spent countless late nights, thinking that she must study hard, find a good job in the future, and let Aunt Qi live a carefree life in her old age.

She never thought that she would abandon her. will make her no longer have a home.

Zhou He's tears slid down her cheeks, and she didn't open her eyes, nor did she reach out to wipe them. Just lay quietly on the bed.

Zhou He went to the company the next day, and Meng Shan passed a contract over. said that the contract with Cheng Wei's company had expired and needed to be renewed. She had already called his company for consultation, and his assistant said that Cheng Wei would not return to Kyoto during this time, and asked him to renew his visa in Yucheng. Or wait until he returns to Kyoto to sign it.
