Chapter 66: Lost Contact
"Xiaoxi, in fact, nothing should be an excuse for you to give up your dreams, if you want to realize it, you can only achieve success in the real sense by cutting through the thorns that stand in your way, once you have the idea or idea of retreating, then you will face the ...... of all your previous achievements" Qing Huan said softly, "Actually, I didn't mean to judge you when I said this, I just hope that in the future, when you suddenly recall your current decision one day, you will not regret your current decision." β
Chen Xi didn't make a sound, just sat there, her face was like ashes, her eyes were red, her teeth were clenched, her whole face was trembling, tears were rippling in her eyes, but she couldn't bear to let it fall.
Qing Huan looked at her dejected appearance, her face relaxed, sighed, and gently covered her hand over her hand, "Xiaoxi, you have been fighting for what you want for so long, if you give up now, will you really not regret it?"
Chen Xi slowly raised his head, two large tears rolled down his cheeks, raining down: "I have already paid the price for my recklessness and ignorance, isn't this enough?" Qinghuan, you don't mean to judge me when you keep saying it, but every word you say reveals this meaning, you always say it so nicely, what, since things have happened, no matter how you can't change the result, it's better to let go of the previous things and work hard to move forward, but is it really that easy?" These things have not happened to you, can you really understand how I feel? Can you know what the pain of that hurt is like, and if not, why do you say me so sanctimoniously?"
Qing Huan was stunned.
Chen Xi stood up, his body swaying lightly because of his emotion, like a standing glass about to shatter.
Qing Huan's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he stood up, "Xiaoxi, you misunderstood what I meant......"
"Is it a misunderstanding, I know very well in my heart, okay, Qinghuan, I just wanted to say goodbye to you today, after all, you are one of the few friends I have in the true sense," Chen Xi lowered his head and said in a slightly cold tone, "It's just that now it seems that there may be something I misunderstood." β
After speaking, she didn't see Qinghuan's face, and turned around and left.
Qing Huan stood in place, watching her back disappear from her sight, unable to say a word, and after standing for a while, she slowly sat back, she unconsciously stirred gently in the bowl with a spoon, and the scene of just meeting Chen Xi suddenly appeared in her mind, she had a white face, smiled at her, and asked her if she was Gu Qinghuan, when she laughed at that time, her eyes always seemed to be flashing a little starlight, even if the work of the night running was tiring and hard, she was always full of confidence and enthusiasm, I don't know when, these things were gradually withdrawn from herβ¦β¦ She is no longer the same Chen Xi as she used to be.
Qing Huan closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, suddenly feeling very tired in his heart, the cruelest thing about life sometimes is that it can change a person silently, and then it has to make you feel that some things seem to be like this.
Forget it, she is also a chicken feather now, what qualifications and energy do you have to take care of other people's affairs, she smiled bitterly, then called the waiter to pay the bill, and slowly walked towards the parking lot.
When she was about to arrive at the intersection of the villa community, the mobile phone that Qing Huan put in the passenger seat at random suddenly rang, she glanced at it, it was Xiaoxi calling, and she suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart, so she parked the car on the side of the road before picking it up.
"Sister Qinghuan, do you see today's circle of friends?" Xiaoxi's voice sounded a little nervous.
"No, what's wrong?" Qing Huan asked with a chuckle in her heart.
"You flip through it, now everyone is going crazy, the last name is not specified in the article, but you will know what is going on after reading it. β
Qing Huan was stunned for a moment, and after hanging up the phone in a hurry, he clicked on the circle of friends to look, and without turning it twice, he saw an article called "Reversing Black and White: XX Collusion Makes Innocent People Become Cannon Fodder." article.
Qing Huan's face turned pale, and she hurriedly clicked on it, and after dozens of seconds, her palms were cold.
The full text is sad and sensational, using the first person to tell that I am a college student who came out of a mountain village, and finally after graduating from college, I fought my way out of the encirclement among many people who wanted to hold an iron rice bowl, and was admitted to an enviable unit and position, which is difficult for a college student born in a rural area with no connections and background, everyone can think about it, but because he has no background, he was bullied after working in the unit, and even became a victim of factional struggles, I pushed myself who had handled this case at that time as a shield, and I was innocently fired from the unit...... I lost my job, my parents thought I had really done something unseemly, and they were so angry that they didn't want to recognize my son, and when my father was seriously ill in the hospital, they didn't want to see me for the last time.
The number of articles read has exceeded 100,000 early, and the number of likes for the comments below has exceeded 20,000 or 30,000. In fact, the personal experience in it is not the real reason for being frantically forwarded, the real reason is that this author only refers to a certain X third generation, although he did not name him, but vaguely pointed out his family history, as well as his girlfriend's company and the project in charge.
So the comments at the bottom exploded, and the article was reprinted over and over again.
Qing Huan was like being slapped on the head, his hands trembled, and the message area was full of scolding.
Netizens have denounced and despised these three generations of X-Ers who use their family power to benefit themselves, cursing these people for occupying social resources but doing nothing, and fierce rhetoric fills the constantly scrolling mobile phone screen.
She withdrew to pull the circle of friends, and people in different circles reposted it, which shows the extent of the promotion of the article.
Qing Huan's mind was blank all of a sudden, and she didn't dare to continue to pull the phone screen anymore, her calves kept trembling, and she wanted to cry in a panic, but she suddenly remembered that she didn't know if Chen Yidong had seen this article, so she picked up the phone again and called him, but the phone came with a prompt that the owner had turned off the phone.
The phone slowly slipped from her hand onto her lap, and the panic grew so intense that she could barely start the car and get out of here.
What should she do?
Qing Huan was lying on the steering wheel, in fact, what scared her the most was that she couldn't contact Chen Yidong, because she couldn't get in touch, so she didn't know how much impact this incident had on him, and she didn't know what kind of situation he was in now...... Fragile as an orphaned child.
I don't know how long I was lying in the car, and I don't know how many calls I made to Chen Yidong, but the phone was always a cold mechanical voice prompt, Qing Huan's whole body seemed to be out of strength, but he still bit his lip, tried to control his emotions, and his hands and feet no longer trembled, and then he slowly drove the car to the villa community and parked it, and opened the door and entered the house.
The living room of Nuoda was quiet, from downstairs to upstairs, everything remained the way she was before she went out, without any trace of him coming back, she sat down on the ground with her legs crossed in disappointment, and tears finally flowed uncontrollably.
Night slowly fell, little by little enveloping the whole house, Qing Huan curled up against the sofa and sat on the floor, tears on her face were dry, her eyes staring blankly at the wall in front of her, she hated this feeling of powerlessness that she couldn't do anything, but now she seemed to be unable to do anything except wait, she could only wait for him to come back, tell herself how things had developed, and tell herself how to do it......
Qinghuan sadly found that he didn't know when he had put Chen Yidong in such a position, and it seemed that without him, he couldn't do anything, and he wouldn't do it.
At this time, there was a dazzling flash of light, and the sound of the car door being shut, she was stunned for a moment, and a flash of ecstasy flashed in her heart, and she immediately got up with her hands and feet, and just stood up, but she felt that her legs were numb, and she almost didn't stand firmly, but she didn't care so much, and limped in the direction of the gate.
Before he could run, he heard the doorbell ring, Qing Huan's footsteps paused, and he was stunned for a moment, if Chen Yidong came back, how could he ring the doorbell?
She hesitated for a moment, still slowly thinking about the possibility of someone who might appear at this time, and then walked towards the door, and when she opened the door, the whole person was still standing in place like a lightning strike.
There were two policemen standing at the door with police ID cards, and after seeing her, one of the police officers said solemnly: "Ms. Gu Qinghuan, we are from the Economic Investigation Bureau, and there is a case that requires you to go back with us to assist in the investigation." β
Qing Huan looked at the black uniform of the police in front of him, as well as the police car parked on the side of the road with red and blue light, and suddenly felt dizzy, his body was unstable, and he almost fell to the ground.
The police officer who spoke in front of her quickly helped her, frowned and asked, "Gu Qinghuan, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, can I go change my clothes?" Qing Huan leaned on the door frame, biting her lip stubbornly, and then asked softly.
The two policemen looked at each other, then nodded.
Qing Huan turned around a little numbly and slowly walked upstairs.
When she got into the police car with the two policemen after she changed her clothes, she saw the villa getting smaller and smaller through the rear window, and a sense of pathos suddenly appeared in her heart.
