Zhou He still stood still. Li was already very annoyed, so he didn't care about her anymore and wanted to leave directly.

He had only walked a few steps before Zhou He raised a pair of clear eyes and looked at him and said, "I want him to tell me these words in person." ”

Her eyes were filled with sadness and stubbornness, and her face was as pale as paper, as if she would fall to the ground in the next second.

Li probably didn't expect her to say this at this time, and couldn't help but be stunned. Then he said, "Mr. Cheng will not see you again." It doesn't make any sense for you to be so persistent. ”

As if he was afraid that Zhou He would pester him, he didn't stop after saying this, and left quickly.

Zhou He stood in a daze, and after a long time, he got on the bus back to the house.

Li Peiyuan still has a job in Yucheng, but he has not returned for a long time. Xu Yuanning came back, but he seemed to be preoccupied, and he didn't say what plans he would have in the future.

As soon as Zhou He returned home from the library that day, he saw Tan Ziran standing at the door of the house with a dejected face. Zhou He was slightly stunned and stepped forward.

Tan Ziran saw her as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, grabbed her hand, and muttered, "Ahe, you must help me." ”

She grabbed her tightly, her nails embedded in the back of Zhou He's hand. She didn't wait for her to speak, so she said anxiously: "Ahe, can you find your little uncle for me? My parents, and my brother have been arrested." ”

Her hair was messy, she didn't wear makeup, she was haggard and tired. will find her here, obviously desperate.

Zhou He wanted to break free of her hand, but he couldn't break free after a while, so he let her hold on to it and said, "You are looking for the wrong person." ”

Although she didn't know what happened to the Tan family. But he knew that if Tan Ziran still had a way to think, it would never be possible to come to her.

This shows that the Tan family's affairs are widely implicated. And this kind of thing, even if he has the background of the Li family, Li Peiyuan probably can't do anything.

Tan Ziran grabbed her hand harder, and suddenly knelt on the ground, tears fell from her face, and said, "Ahe, the Li family should have a way." Ahe, can you help me, for my brother's sake, can you help me? The baby is still young, and he can't live without his grandmother, and he can't do without his grandfather. ”

Her voice was desolate, and tears rolled down the ground.

Zhou He was silent, and after a while, he said, "I can't help you with anything, you should know very well." Instead of being here, you should go and find your family's old relationship......"

Tan Ziran came to her, indeed because she was desperate, so grabbing anyone indiscriminately felt like a lifesaver.

Before Zhou He's words could be finished, she let go of her grip and sat down on the ground. muttered: "It's useless, it's useless, I've looked for it, I've found a lot of people." They couldn't help it, they all avoided me. What else can I do? What else can I do?"

Her hands clutched over her face.

Zhou He couldn't find anything to say, so he was silent. Just then, a car drove up in a hurry. The car stopped at the door of the house, Ren Yurong quickly got out of the car, helped Tan Ziran up from the ground, and said in a low voice: "Didn't I find a way to let you stay at home?"

Ren Yurong is also haggard, and the hair on his head seems to be much whiter.

Tan Ziran lay in his arms and cried loudly. Ren Yurong patiently coaxed for a while, opened the car door and let her get into the car, closed the door, and then turned around and said to Zhou He: "She has been in a bad mood recently, don't worry about her what she says." ”

Zhou He nodded silently.

Ren Yurong said that he went back first, pulled the door and got into the car, and the car drove away quickly.

Zhou He entered the courtyard, put down his bag and turned on the TV. There was a lot of trouble in Kyoto, and it was not only the Tan family that fell overnight, but also several others.

There are many charges listed, and there is solid evidence. Corruption and bribery, seeking money and killing people, Tan Ziran's brother also has charges of strong women and other crimes.

The other families are similarly charged, and no one is much better than the other. In Kyoto, the more people there are, the more filthy they will see. If you fall to this point, you deserve it.

Zhou was not surprised, nor sympathetic. To this point, they all deserve it. She quickly turned off the TV and went to get something to eat.

She was about to eat when the doorbell rang outside. After Aunt Qi passed away, she was often absent, and even her neighbors rarely came over. At this time, only Shu Hua will come.

She thought it was Shu painting outside, but when she opened the door in a hurry, she saw Xu Yuanning standing outside.

Zhou He was stunned for a moment, and while beckoning him in, he asked, "Senior brother, why didn't you call when you came over?"

"From here, I'll come and see you. Xu Yuanning replied. The smile on his face was a little reluctant, and he sat down in the room before he asked, "Ah He, has Mrs. Ren come to look for you?"

Zhou He knew that Tan Ziran was looking for not only her, but even Xu Yuanning. She nodded and said, "It's been here." ”

Xu Yuanning smiled bitterly and said, "She is really sick and rushed to the doctor." This time, the Tan family's affairs involve a wide range of people, and no one can help. ”

Zhou He didn't speak, asked him if he hadn't eaten yet, and went to serve him food again. It wasn't until she had eaten that she asked, "What's going on over there?"

Involving so many people, such a big movement has always been rare.

Xu Yuanning shook his head and said, "The family doesn't let me ask, and I don't know very well." But this time, the evidence is complete, and several families were brought down in one fell swoop, so someone should have planned it behind it. ”

If you hadn't started planning early, how could you have gotten so much evidence at once.

Zhou He nodded, seeing that his face was not good. I knew I shouldn't ask, but in the end I still asked, "Is your family implicated?"

The relationship between the Kyoto family is intertwined, and if you make the slightest mistake, you will be pulled into the water.

Xu Yuanning smiled bitterly and said, "That's not true. My grandfather was strict, and the family would not do things that should not be done. But there was already a lot of panic in Kyoto, and my father was so anxious that my father was so anxious that he was already anxious. ”

Zhou He couldn't interject this kind of talk, but this matter was strange, she was silent for a while, and then asked, "Who is behind that, do you know?"

Xu Yuanning shook his head and said, "There are several people who have come forward to testify with their real names, but none of them seem to be the people behind them. To make such a big move, you need a strong network and funds behind it, and it won't be ordinary people. ”

Such a person may not be clean. What his father is most worried about now is which of these factions this person is, and it will definitely affect the current situation at that time.

This matter was far away from Zhou He, she didn't speak again, just nodded. That's the end of the conversation.

Zhou He remembered the busyness of Xu Yuanning after he came back during this time, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Senior brother, then do you continue to start a business with Senior Brother Qiu?"

Xu Yuanning lowered his head and said, "I'm here to deal with this matter when I came back this time." He smiled bitterly and said, "I should go back to Kyoto, and I will have to discuss it at home." ”

If he is calm and quiet, the old man has always been open-minded, and he will not force him to do what he wants to do. But now the situation in Kyoto is unstable, and the future of the Xu family needs to be considered. Starting a business may mean a lot to him, but for them, he's just joking.

Because it's okay, I let him go. And now, he has to take responsibility for the future of the Xu family.

No matter how mature and calm Xu Yuanning is, he is at a loss at this moment. He couldn't do what he wanted to do, and he didn't even know where he was going.

Zhou He nodded and said, "Then will you go back to Kyoto after you deal with it?"

It was indeed so planned, Xu Yuanning snorted, and said: "I can't just leave and leave, Lao Qiu has to take over slowly and completely." ”

In the past, he was in charge of most things, and he was responsible, so you can think about Senior Brother Qiu's panic at this time.

The more the topic is spoken, the heavier it becomes, and life goes on, but it seems like a return to the ease and comfort of the past.

Zhou He sat in a daze, Xu Yuanning didn't speak again, and the room was very quiet for a while. After a while, she said softly: "When the weekend is not so busy, call Senior Brother Qiu to come here." I went grocery shopping in advance and came over for dinner. ”

This is also a farewell feast.

Xu Yuanning did not refuse, and responded with a good word. He didn't want to make it too sad, and continued: "You don't need to make it much, just the barbecue you used to eat is good." ”

Zhou He smiled slightly. I couldn't help but think of Aunt Qi.

Xu Yuanning obviously remembered the barbecue as well, and quickly changed the topic. He was so preoccupied that he couldn't find anything to say, so he sat down for a short time and then got up and left.

Zhou He invited Xu Yuanning and Senior Brother Qiu to come to the house for a barbecue on the second weekend, this time it was different from last time, she prepared the ingredients early, and when Xu Yuanning and Senior Brother Qiu came over, she even made a charcoal fire, and only needed to roast.

This barbecue was different from the last time, and although everyone tried to liven up the atmosphere, it was still sad. Several people drank a lot of wine, and Senior Brother Qiu shouted that he wanted to go to the bar to go crazy and crazy. Of course, this guest still has to be invited by Xu Yuanning, this is the last time to take advantage of him.

Xu Yuanning responded happily, he couldn't drive after drinking, so he took a taxi to a bar in the city. It's a lively time in the bar, and the crowd is twisting wildly in the music.

Senior Brother Qiu walked over after entering the bar, while Zhou He and Xu Yuanning sat down in front of the bar.

This should be the last party, Xu Yuanning did not discourage Zhou Hejiao lemonade, and ordered two cups of Long Island iced tea.

Neither of them spoke, just sat silently and drank.

After drinking a glass of wine, Xu Yuanning looked for Senior Brother Qiu in the crowd, then looked at Zhou He and said, "Do you want to go down and have fun?"

Zhou He couldn't let go, but he held her hand and brought her onto the dance floor.

A classic Bymyside song sounded, and the DJ on stage played wildly. There was a boiling underneath. A halo of colorful light fell, and the crowd seemed to be boiling.

Zhou He casually turned around and saw Cheng Wei standing in the crowd at a glance. Dressed in a formal suit and holding a cigarette in his hand, he stood not far from the dance floor. I don't know how long I've been here.

Zhou He stood in the melody for a long time, and then walked towards Cheng Wei step by step.

The crowd was crowded until she squeezed out. Cheng Wei was no longer visible outside. She chased after her without thinking about it.

As soon as he walked out of the door of the bar, he saw Cheng Wei supporting a woman vomiting on the side. He still has tissues and water in his hands. Zhou He's footsteps stopped, and he stood still in the shadows.

It didn't take long for the woman to finish throwing up and look up. That face is familiar, it is the always elegant and beautiful Miss Han.

She was smiling at Cheng Wei, and that smile was like a blooming flower. Apparently the two have known each other for a long time. Zhou He's body stiffened violently, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably.

The two didn't stay long, Cheng Wei helped her and quickly left, getting into the car parked on the side of the road.

Zhou He's mind was like a mess, and his eyebrows ached faintly. She suddenly remembered the party, and Miss Han asked her in despair who Cheng Wei was.

At the time, she said he was a bit like an old friend she knew. She thought she was wrong......

Probably because she was numb from the pain, or maybe she had a premonition, she was not very uncomfortable. Leaned against the wall and stood for a while, and was just about to go back to the bar when he saw Xu Yuanning walk out.

She quickly picked herself up and walked over to him.

Zhou He drank a lot of wine that night, and his body was as drunk as mud. The brain is very clear, and the sad and beautiful face of Miss Han is replayed over and over again.

Sure enough, she never understood the process.

Zhou He went to find Cheng Wei in the evening of the next day, and she did not go to his company, but went to the hotel where Cheng Wei usually stays on Hehuan Street. After waiting in the hall downstairs for more than three hours, the lights outside were lit up one after another, and he walked in from outside.

Someone had already called him, and when he came in, his eyes swept to Zhou He. Then he walked up to her, sat down across from her, leaned back lazily on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and asked lightly, "What's the matter?"

This is the first time in several months that the two have communicated.

Before Zhou He could speak, he spat out a puff of smoke and said lightly: "I don't think we still have anything to talk about, what should be said, Li has already said." ”

He lowered his head slightly, and a cold expression on his handsome face.

Zhou He thought he would cry, but he didn't. Her throat was terribly dry, and she looked up at him and asked, "Why?"

The hall was so quiet that there weren't even waiters. Only the dim crystal lamps overhead emitted a dazzling light.

Cheng Wei didn't speak, and after a while, he leaned back on the sofa and said, "There is no reason." ”

His appearance was casual, and his tone was equally understated.

One of Zhou He's faces had faded to blood, and he was as pale as paper.

I thought she would get up and go, but she didn't. She lowered her head, and after a long while, she raised her head to look at Cheng Wei and asked, "You and Miss Han, have you known each other for a long time?"

There was an uncontrollable tremor in her voice.

Cheng Wei's hand holding the cigarette paused slightly, and after a while, he dusted off the ash in his hand, met Zhou He's gaze, smiled faintly, and said, "Didn't you see it all?"

It turned out that he had found her last night.

Although he had expected it for a long time, Zhou He was still like being knocked on a stick, and the whole person was confused. just looked at Cheng Wei blankly.

Cheng Wei took a puff of cigarette, his eyes became sharp in the smoke, he laughed lightly, and said: "Since the first meeting, do you think there will be so many coincidences in the world? ”

As if he was afraid that Zhou He would not be able to hear clearly, his words were word by word. Zhou He's ears buzzed, a bleak smile appeared on his face, and he got up and left the hotel step by step.

It was raining outside, and thunder was rumbling. She stepped into the rain and let it slip down her face. In an instant, it was drenched into soup chicken.

It turned out that he had already known her identity. From the very beginning, the approach was nothing more than a planned conspiracy. All that warmth was nothing but her self-righteousness.

The cold liquid kept sliding down his face, and he couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears. Yes, how can there be so many coincidences in the world?

The position of her heart ached violently, and in the vast rain curtain, her vision became blurred little by little. until nothing can be seen.

Zhou He didn't know how she got back to the house, she had a high fever, her lips were so dry that she couldn't feel it.

Without taking medicine or seeing a doctor, her fever went down after a week. The whole person has lost a lot of weight.

She didn't go to Cheng Wei again, blocked all news from the outside world, and began to prepare for going abroad. Perhaps because she had a hunch, she has been preparing since the beginning of the first half of the semester. It's not very difficult to pick it up now.

No one said anything about her going abroad, and after the written test, the quota was officially determined, but she went to the tomb of the old grandmother in the small town and lived in the small town for a day.

After coming back, I went to Aunt Qi's grave, and as usual in this season, I went to the temple that went up the mountain.

She didn't tell anyone about leaving, and after booking the ticket, she left a letter for Shu Hua, put the key to the old house in an envelope and sent it to her, asking her to come over and take care of the flowers and plants at home when she was free, and if Qi Jingran came back, give her the key.

Zhou He's departure was quiet, there was no parting, no tears, and no one saw him off.

She thought she would be sad, but she didn't, her heart was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

Shu Hua only knew that Zhou He had left after receiving the express, she closed the door of the flower shop and hurried to the house. The house was neatly cleaned up, the same as before, and it was not at all obvious that the owner had left.

Shu Hua stayed in the courtyard for a long time, read the letter left by Zhou He several times, and made sure that she was really gone, so he locked the door and left.

Xu Yuanning was so busy that he didn't realize that she had left until a week after Zhou He left. Her mobile phone had long been unreachable, and she sent emails to her mailbox, but all of them were in vain.

He didn't know why Zhou He left suddenly and walked so decisively. But he knew that this matter must have something to do with Cheng Wei.

He didn't ask Cheng Wei, but sat alone at the door of the house for a while. Then I went back to the apartment. Had a drunken night in the apartment.

He wants to hand over all the affairs of the company to Senior Brother Qiu, and the relationship and connections must also be handed over to him. He took him to visit a number of potential clients, and he also took him to various evenings in the business world. The two of them are busy, time seems to be squeezed out little by little, busier than the early days of the business, sometimes come home in the middle of the night and fall asleep, and the next day the alarm clock rings immediately and get up again.

In all kinds of entertainment, he has seen the process more than once. I have also met him, he is with Miss Han. Zhou He's departure didn't seem to have changed for him, he was still the playboy wandering among the flowers.

He wanted to rush up and beat him up more than once, but he restrained himself again. Because he knows very well that Zhou He and Cheng Wei are suitable, and she leaves, which may be the best ending.

Zhou He also didn't know that he left Li Peiyuan, and he was also busy with his body and lack of skills during that time. When I came back, I found that Zhou He's phone couldn't get through, and there was no one at the house, so I found Xu Yuanning.

Knowing that Zhou He had gone abroad, he was silent and did not speak. He took the beer he had bought and drank it.

The two were just drinking, and neither of them spoke. I don't know how many cans of beer I drank, so Xu Yuanning asked, "Uncle Xiao Li, do you still have any relationship with that Miss Han?"

Li Peiyuan's tone was light, and he said, "I have nothing to do with her. ”

Xu Yuanning nodded, paused, and said, "She seems to be with Cheng Wei." ”

Li Peiyuan was not surprised, and said lightly: "They have known each other before. ”

Xu Yuanning was surprised and looked up at Li Peiyuan.

Li Peiyuan took out a cigarette and lit it, and smoked several puffs in a row, then said lightly: "They can be regarded as childhood sweethearts." ”

These words were like a bomb, and Xu Yuanning was in shock for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses.

But Li Peiyuan had no intention of saying any more, smoking and drinking at the same time. I was slightly drunk, and then I said, "Don't tell Ah He about these in the future." ”

Since she is gone, she must leave cleanly. Don't be distracted by all this mess anymore.

No matter how painful it is, all the wounds will slowly scab over and fall off over time, until there is no longer any pain.

Those people, those things, looking back, are just a dream. Goodbye is just a familiar stranger.

After Li Peiyuan finished speaking, he looked up at the lights in the distance. In the misty light and shadow, Zhou He's thin figure seemed to be under the street lamp, and he would come over at any time.
