Chapter 52: A Good Move

"Mom!" I saw my mom and my grandmother sitting outside in the makeshift rest area of the police car, and rushed up with a single lunge.

"Mom, Grandma, what the hell is going on! Are you hurt, ah?!"

"Don't worry Xiaoqi, we're all fine. Mom comforted me: "I just burned the master bedroom and study on the second floor, alas...... I didn't tell you on the phone because I was afraid that you would be in a hurry. ”

I looked up and down on my mom and grandma. Neither of them was injured. Grandma was probably a little frightened, holding the white dog in one hand and muttering to herself. And a young nurse was taking her blood pressure and reassuring her not to be afraid.

I asked my mom what the hell was going on!

"I blame you too," my mother sighed, "I was sitting in the house watching TV just now, and the power went out somehow." I saw that the neighbor's house was fine, so I went out to the front building to find a property.

Your grandmother was afraid of the dark, so I found her a candle to light it. I didn't expect it to take only a few minutes......"

I'm scared when I hear it. No wonder people say that there are old people in the house, and they can't leave an open fire if they say anything!

"I was negligent. Luckily, your grandmother is fine. This. Thanks to Mr. Su---- "My mother turned her gaze, I followed it, and immediately gasped.

The man who was talking to the firefighters a few meters away in front of him was not Su Xihang---- isn't it!

"You...... Why are you here?"

"Luo Qi, are you back?" he turned his face to see me and walked over.

"Well," my mother explained, "Mr. Su happened to be passing by and saw smoke on the second floor. Your grandmother is really capable, and she is still using a pony coat to put out the fire when the candle burns the curtains. ”

This picture is so strong that it makes my waist hurt for a while. I hugged my grandmother and said, "Why are you so disobedient?" I'm going to call the police when it's on fire!

My grandmother had mild Alzheimer's disease with intermittent amnesia. Most of the time he is sober and occasionally confused. The most devastating thing is that I often talk to you one second, and forget who you are the next.

Now she stared at me, smiling, and not afraid.

"Auntie, don't worry too much. When I entered the door, I saw that my grandmother was in good shape. Su Xihang crouched down. Holding my grandmother's hand: "Grandma, your posture of putting out the fire is very beautiful. ”

I almost kicked him with my foot, and Nima has a bit of a lower limit for all ages! My grandmother is 80 years old!

However, in the face of praise from handsome guys, there is no difference between an eighty-year-old and an eighteen-year-old. My grandmother was so happy that her face was full of wrinkles, and she said with a smile: "When I was young, I was the backbone of production, and I was not afraid of a fire in the workshop." But...... burned something, Xiaoqi and her father will be unhappy......"

Alas, my grandmother was also very kind to my father, but she was not as difficult as ordinary mothers-in-law and sons-in-law.

Hearing her mention my dad in a trance, I stole a glance at my mom's face.

"Alas. Just burn the things, and the people are fine. I guess her dad wants to come back and get something. ”

I frowned and asked my mom, "What do ----you mean?"

"The main place where the fire started was the study, and the master bedroom next to it also suffered. There wasn't much going on on the first floor. My mother looked at the small house that had been broken in by the fire and was full of holes, and sighed: "Look at this posture, I have to clean it up for a week." ”

I didn't answer my mother's words, but just stood at the mouth of the smoky courtyard for a while.

If it's a fire in the study, then ...... Everything my dad left behind, all burned?!

I was vaguely uneasy, I always felt that there were too many unreasonable things that had happened during this time, but there was no main thread that could clear my mind.

"Hey, don't think about anything else yet, grandma is old, let's help her arrange a place to live." Su Xihang came up from behind and patted me on the shoulder.

I was startled and came back to my senses and stared at him, "Why did you come to my house?"

"I ......" he tilted his head and took out two movie tickets from his pocket: "I wanted to come over and ask you to go to the movies, but I didn't want to be rejected and went straight to the door."

It's so late...... Where have you been?"

My face flushed, and I just wanted to blurt out something about your. Thinking about it again, after all, they saved my family just now, and if you are ungrateful, you have to wait for the skills to thaw!

"Xiaoqi," at this time, my mother came out of the downstairs and carried a small box: "I packed a few daily necessities and took your grandmother to your little aunt's house for a few days."

The insurance company and the engineering team have been contacted, and they will come to deal with it early tomorrow morning. Are you going with me or ----"

I said I wouldn't go, my aunt's house is two districts away from here. It is inconvenient to go to work early tomorrow morning.

"I'll go to find a fast hotel next to it, and I'll go to the company tomorrow to take a half-day off and come back in the afternoon to accompany you. "Putting my mom and grandmother in the car, I sighed at the broken house under the moonlight.

In the past six months, first my father died, then I divorced and miscarried, and now all the bad luck has come to the family...... Isn't it time to burn incense?

was in a daze, and a cup of hot milk tea was handed behind him.

"Thank you. ”

I looked at Susi Airlines behind me. I said that my grandmother's Alzheimer's disease came and went, and if you didn't happen to go through it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"In return, accompany me to the movies?" Su Xihang raised the two tickets in his hand: "There is still half an hour to end----"

You're still in half an hour...... Go and see the cast!

I said that my house burned down, so you can understand my feelings. Talk again!

At this time, the fire brigade and the surrounding neighbors were dispersed, and I stepped into the yard with the residual heat, and I felt a sad mood.

The water and electricity were fine, but my dad's study was a mess, and even the bedroom next to it was blackened.

"It's getting late, don't you want to stay here?" Su Xihang came up with me, as if he were going back to his own home.

I said I'll pack up and find an express hotel next to me.

"It's not safe to live alone in a hotel than in an empty house, have you heard about the perverted murder case on the Internet?"

I was leaning over the ground and scratching the half-burned manuscripts, and I looked up at him fiercely: "Did you come up to say cool things? ”

He picked the corner of his lips: "My injury is not healed yet, I can only work hard but not contribute." ”

I really didn't bother to pay attention to him! At this time, the mobile phone in the bag rang, and I saw the name on the caller card, and suddenly a spirit jumped!

Then he was transferred to a place a few meters away from Suxi Airlines before answering----

"Luo Qi, are you okay at home?"

The call was from Su Beiwang.

"I didn't ...... It was my grandmother who accidentally knocked over the candle and is fine now. ”

I replied cautiously as I glanced at Su Xihang, who was rubbing in front of the curtain.

"It's not hurt, is it? I'll help you----"

I didn't say no, my family didn't have anything to do. Ping-pong musicians.

"My mom has already taken her to live with my aunt, and the house will be cleaned tomorrow. I'll just clean it up, you ...... How's Xiaoqi doing?"

"Sticky, I'm afraid to move on the couch right now. Su Beiwang's answer was very helpless, and his picture sense of sitting on pins and needles appeared in my mind slightly, and I laughed unkindly.

"Ha, then you're going to sleep with her in your arms tonight. ”

"Luo Qi, you ...... at night"

I know that Su Beiwang wanted to ask me if I wanted to go over, and the place where he lived was not far from the company, and ......

Oh my God, his high-profile confession in front of the whole company this morning was no joke!

Now everyone knows that I am with Mr. Su, if he speaks at this time, if I refuse, even I feel hypocritical!

It's just that...... Isn't this developing too fast?

Obviously, both of us are probably aware of the problem.

So he didn't say the rest of the words.

"Don't worry, I'll stay with my friend later. I lowered my voice and said, "Rest early." ”

"Okay, you...... Be careful yourself, and tell me what's going on. ”

I hung up the phone with a sense of relief, and looked up at Su Xihang on the other side with a look of internal injury.

"You said 'friend' there...... Does that mean my house?"

I picked up a half-burned magazine and threw it at him: "What nonsense! I want to live in Ruoruna!"

Su Xihang grabbed the magazine with one hand and made an exaggerated spirit: "I think it may be more dangerous for you to live with her." She doesn't know the depths of the matter, whether she is good or bad, beware of what kind of perversion she really causes.

I advise you not to make that kind of bad friend, so as not to get into trouble----"

"Get out!" I hugged a stack of legible materials and walked out. My dad's desk burned like a charcoal grill, but luckily the little information in the cabinet was spared.

Originally, I said that I should take care of it and follow the academic trajectory of my parents to improve my self-cultivation, but now it's good ---- procrastination kills people!

"Hey, what are you doing there?" I went downstairs, and I saw that Su Xihang was still in place, staring at the curtain as if he had been pointed.

"Your grandmother, do you usually come to the study?" he turned to look at me.

I shook my head and said, "What do you mean?"

"I just noticed that your grandmother's room is on the southernmost side of the second floor, about seven meters from the northernmost study. I heard my aunt say that she and her grandmother were watching TV in the living room downstairs when the power went out, and her grandmother was afraid of the dark, so she found a candle to send her grandmother back to the bedroom, and told her to lie down first and find the property by herself.

But in these three or five minutes, why did my grandmother run to the study with a candle?"

Su Xihang's words made my heart tighten, I said what the hell do you want to say?

"I just think things are suspicious. Although when I entered the door, I saw your grandmother with a little gown beating the curtains and the open fire on the desk in the study, and on the surface, it looked as if she had ignited it with a candle carelessly----"

I said you're suspicious, okay? Eh, my house is unlocked! How did you get in!

The aunt said that it was inconvenient for her to find the key in the dark, and thought it would be okay for a while, so she closed the door. Su Xihang's explanation, I also think it is reasonable.

"Then you mean, there must be some reason why my grandmother came to the study?"

"I don't know, maybe I went the wrong way to go to the toilet. Su Xihang spread his hands, took the pile of materials in my arms and walked downstairs.

"Hey, do your serious brain cells only last for three seconds!" I chased after me: "Su Xihang, you explain it to me." ”

"Either ......" He squinted and stood on the handrail downstairs, looking up at me: "You tell me clearly first, you look at Su Beiwang ......"

These are two things that don't have a half-egg relationship, okay!

I pinched a ball of waste paper in my hand and smashed it at him: "Su Xihang, I don't have time to mess with you, my house is on fire for no reason, are you still in the mood to joke?!, believe it or not, I cursed you to come home and find that your Lisa and John have become ----ashes......"

He glared at me fiercely, then threw the stack of unwanted materials on the couch: "You come down, I'll tell you." ”

I leaned over and sat down next to him half a person apart: "If you want to talk about the scene, only my grandmother witnessed it." But she has intermittent amnesia, and even if she asked, she couldn't ask why......"

"So you want to hear what I think?" Su Xihang took a draft of the document, frowned and looked at it as if it wasn't particularly important, so he ...... Fold the plane.

I snatched it up, and I said can you be a little more reliable! Tell me! Hurry up!

"I think the old man probably got up to see something in the study. Su Xihang rubbed his chin, his expression was casual, but his tone was very serious: "The worst case is probably ...... Someone is inside. ”

I was so scared that I was so scared that I said don't scare me, the security guards in this community are very strict, and strange faces must be registered!

Su Xihang sighed softly: "Later, my grandmother kept talking about the fire, and I couldn't tell what was going on......

So I'll have to guess that if things really turn out as I thought, then it's probably going to have something to do with what your father left behind. ”

As we spoke, our eyes fell on the messy pile of papers.

I have to admit that just at that moment, I had similar thoughts to Su Xihang.

Although it is all reasoning, I can't help but care about the incidents that have been caused by my father's documents several times.

But in the few minutes that I was alone in a daze, I found that Su Xihang had already begun to look through the information.

I have a headache for some English, after all, I have been a housewife for three years, and this level of English is all supported by American dramas. However, Su Xihang saw it quickly, as if the emperor was reading a chapter!

Later, he told me: "Most of the information here is your father's experimental report, and it can only be seen from the incomplete time and recording effect that it should be nearly two years old. ”

I said that my father was a pharmacist, and there were mountains of lab reports, what's so strange?

"But I don't think any pharmacist will conduct dozens of trials on the same project in a month. Looks like you've gone mad----"

At this point, he saw me raise his eyes and stare at him, so he apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, I lost my words." ”

I said that my father has always been rigorous, isn't it normal to do a few more experiments?

"But your father is not a freelance scientist, he has a team, a project and a company. Every test under R&D is budgeted and grounded, not something he wants to do a few times. Unless----"

I'm a little upset. I said that my dad has been gone for half a year, and there is no reason for anyone to make up his life. Whatever your motives, don't tell me that my dad is acting strangely and for weird purposes. I'm really going to turn my face on you!

"You seem to ...... This information is particularly sensitive. "Su Xihang look at me.

I sighed and briefly said about Guan Chengqing. Probably speaking, Mr. Tang suspected that my father's research results still had unannounced content, for fear of bringing uncertain risks to the upcoming 'Health Star'.

"Well, I'll show you a way. Susie said: "Just pile these messy fragments in front of him to show his innocence." It also saves you from messing with those bad things. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and said that this was a good idea.

"The world is unpredictable, sometimes you are a gentleman, you can't stand others too villain. But the premise is---- do you think there are any secrets that can't be told in your father's scientific research achievements back then?"

"Su Xihang, don't challenge my bottom line. I glared at him.

"Forget it, I'm just talking about it. Su Xihang smiled and pushed the information aside: "Since you don't want to mention this, let's change the topic." You look at ---- with Su Bei"

"You're not done!" I slapped him aside, and then hung my head: "I...... What if we're together?!"

Su Xihang was stunned for a moment, then stroked his palm and smiled: "Are you so polite together? I don't let my boyfriend come over to help when the house is on fire, and I live in a hotel alone?"

My heart twitched, and I said I would love to!

I'm not a pretentious little girl of my age. What you can do, why do you ask a man for everything!

I don't know why I'm suddenly a little excited, as if a nerve in my heart that pretends to be nothing abnormal has been accidentally poked by someone. The restless and restless mood suddenly took over the high ground of reason.

Su Xihang looked at me with a smile, shook his head and didn't speak again. That under-pumping expression drove me even more crazy.

I said I see, you can't be a psychiatrist, right?

Rely on analyzing other people's ** and exposing other people's scars to satisfy your own sense of honor. Hey, do you think psychiatrists have more or less perverted tendencies?

"Do you use ** and 'scar' to describe your relationship with Su Beiwang?" Su Xihang stood up, and his condescending gaze made me feel a little strange because of the sudden seriousness: "Luo Qi, every love is an event with independent probability. Just because you've had a misfortune once doesn't mean it's going to be right next time. ”

Su Xihang's words are actually not wrong at all, how can I, an adult with complete IQ and EQ, not understand it?

But I'm lazy, I'm inferior, I'm empty, can't I? I also longed for a strong man to protect me, and to have exclusive domineering love to take me to abuse the monster.

I said that since Su Beiwang said that he liked me, couldn't I try to get along with him?

Who stipulates that a divorced woman has to spend a fixed amount of time to precipitate herself, and fate is not something that can wait, why don't you dare to try when you meet me!

Su Xihang was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face was a little unnatural. It took a few seconds before he said, "He said...... Like you?"

"Uh-huh. I twitched my nose and felt a little proud: "Isn't it? ”

"He says he likes it, and you believe it. Then if I also say I like ----"

I said, shut up, can this thing be an 'if'? let alone you...... It's not like him at all.

"So what I said I like is far less credible than Su Beiwang, right?" Su Xihang's tone was a little lonely, but his expression was not sad at all. This makes me unscrupulously feel that this man seems to be very suitable for being a girlfriend, alas!

I said thank you for your kindness. I'm an adult, and I figure out a lot of things on my own.

"You think I'm worried about you? I'm afraid you're hurting my brother's twenty-eight-year-old virgin.

To be honest, it looks like the two of us...... ----"

"Phew!" I smashed him in the face with a stack of papers, and locked the door and left the house. My mom drove the car away, and I was going to the street in front of me to call a taxi.

"Hey, where is the young lady, I'll give you a ride. Su Xihang drove the car behind me, like a master shouting at the black car. This guy has a lot of fun cosplaying!

"Han Ruochu's house, do you dare to go?"

"You might as well take a taxi. Say goodbye ----"

----

Early on Monday morning, I took Han Ruochu's car into the company. Lack of sleep and average spirits, mainly because I listened to her tell too many strange things about blind dates in the middle of the night, and I can open a Weibo public account.

"Hey, did you contact that detective last time?" she asked me before getting out of the car.

I said I made an appointment, and the money was all over.

Lin Yuqing's deadline with me is this Sunday, and he will give me detailed investigation information. I think I'll have a hard time with Xiao Li, and I'll have to find out what the hell she is.

"Okay, if I don't go on a blind date that day, I'll go with you. Han Ruochu said goodbye to me and left.

"What's wrong Tingting?" As soon as I entered the office, I saw Shu Ting talking to others as if she had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Alas, Xiaoqi, are you here? Didn't you say that the house was on fire last night?"

I said it's okay, nothing big to lose. In the afternoon, I will take a leave of absence to accompany my mother Zhang Luo to repair it.

"Huh, didn't Lao Guan come? Didn't you say that there was a regular meeting of the department at ten o'clock this morning?" I looked at my watch and remembered that I hadn't seen Guan Chengqing since I entered the door today.

I brought all the scraps of my father's stuff with me, and I wanted to pile them up in front of him. Alas, I admit that I have an element of anger.

"He's on sick leave. Shu Ting looked worried: "It seems that she fell down the stairs, and I don't know if it's serious." ”

I'll admit that I was so unkind that I almost laughed: "How did you fall down the stairs?"

"Who knows, alas, how can I get this if I break the lumbar and tail vertebrae?" Looking at Shu Ting's anxious little daughter-in-law, I can really understand her purest and most primitive crush.

But......

I don't know what kind of mind I have, but since I talked to Guan Chengqing openly and honestly that day, I always feel that some estrangements are difficult to erase.

"Tingting," I said to Shu Ting with a serious face, "Do you think you really know Lao Guan?"

Shu Ting looked at me in amazement, shook her head and said, "But what does it matter, isn't liking a kind of mentality that wants to get close and understand?"

You're not...... Don't you know Su Beiwang?"

I was stunned for a moment and said don't pull it on me. I'm worried about you too.

Shu Ting said that she could understand me for her good, but since she decided to take some roads, she didn't care how far she had to go, and she was tired...... Again.

Alas, I really envy that energetic muscles.

I picked up the cardboard box and said that I would go up to Mr. Tang.

Guan Chengqing was not there, so I decided to go directly to a showdown with Tang Jiali. My dad doesn't have a lot of things, and now he has been hit by a fire that I don't know if there is a hidden secret, and there is not much left. I watched it with Su Xihang for most of the night last night, and I really didn't feel any clues. Since people have concerns and concerns, let's put our posture higher.

It just so happened that Su Beiwang was also there when the general secretary went in to call someone, and he should be talking to Tang Jiali about things.

Mr. Tang is an old fox, and his eyes immediately look at me wrong. Quickly beckoned me to sit warmly, embarrassed that I was embarrassed.

Su Beiwang didn't have any expression, and even moved to the side naturally and let me go over.

I think, public is public and private is private, open the skylight and say something.

So he put the information on the table without being humble or arrogant. I said Mr. Tang, last night there was a fire in my father's study, and most of the materials were burned down. That's all I can pick out, and you'll see if anything useful. Later...... My dad's study may be converted into a dog's bedroom by my mom.

I bit the last sentence very hard, how could Tang Jiali's cleverness not understand what I meant?

He smiled a little embarrassedly: "Luo Qi, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I just hope that our project can be successfully listed."

After all, Mr. Su also invested 500 million in it, oh...... If you don't talk about money, with Lao Luo's heart, if you are still alive, you must be very happy to see the results and benefit the society!"

Damn, will you say anything else besides playing officially!" I smiled gently, and I said Mr. Tang, you're welcome. Thank you for being so kind to my dad and allowing him to dedicate himself to what he has learned all his life.

His accomplishments are also your accomplishments, what do you need help with...... Hehe, we're all old friends, even though it's straight to me and my mom.

Okay, don't bother, you're busy. Oh yes, I might have to take an afternoon off, and I'll have to deal with the mess at home.

No matter what Tang Jiali's face was, I turned around and left.

At noon, I was packing up in the office. Just listened to a phone call from Su Beiwang and carried me up.

I entered the door and smiled and said I'm really sorry that something happened at home and I didn't prepare lunch for you.

"You made it easy on the phone, I didn't even know it was that big. Su Beiwang said, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Me: "......"

I felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratch, and I really didn't know how to answer.

"In the afternoon, I asked Song Ye to accompany you to your house, and he will arrange the repairs for you. ”

"Su Beiwang, I'm ...... I'm just a little uneasy. I bit my lower lip and shuddered involuntarily in his soft breath: "I'm worried about my father. ”

I said that Su Beiwang was not stupid, and I could vaguely feel as if everything that happened during this time seemed to be related to what my father left behind. Actually, you ...... You know something, right?

You don't want to tell me, and I don't dare to ask more. But I ----

"Don't worry about the superfluous, I won't let anything hurt you. ”

A clean and concise promise pressed my heart into my chest. What could be more reassuring than a man hugging you in his arms and spitting such a resolute guard in his ear.

I nodded and said I believe you.

Su Beiwang said that I am a very good woman to get along with, because I trust others easily. is not suspicious, not messing around, and forcibly cuts a lot of men's troubles.

"I have an important meeting in the afternoon, so you can go back first. Call you later. ”

I nodded obediently, kissed him on the cheek, and got up to get ready to go out.

"Oh, wait a minute. ”

Su Beiwang suddenly stopped me.

"Anything else?" I asked.

"There's something I want to ask you, give those burned materials to Tang Jiali, this move is very good. Did you come up with it yourself?"

My hand shook, the door loosened, and the wind shut!
