It began to snow in Yanjing after nightfall, Cheng Yi put on her coat, stood on the terrace, and watched the snow cover the small buildings in the courtyard of the municipal party committee's family with snow white, and the world was silent.

Seeing her father's car parked at the gate of the yard, Cheng Yi was just about to call her father, when she saw Tian Yongjun, deputy director of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee and her father's old follower, get out of the car first and come over to help her father open the car door.

She didn't have any bad feelings for Tian Yongjun, Lu Chengming and other officials in Yanjing City, nor did she have any good feelings......

Cheng Yi was puzzled, it's so late, what else must be talked about today?

Cheng Yi went back to the house to write some work materials, I don't know how long it took, some dry mouth, went downstairs to pour water from the kitchen and drink, passed by the study of the east house, and saw that there was still light coming out of the crack in the door, and there was no car just now, I wanted to come to Tian Yongjun and Lu Chengming were still at her house.

Cheng Yi didn't care about her father's work, and was just about to go back upstairs after pouring water, when she heard someone in the study faintly say: "Xu Cheng is sinister......"

Hearing her father locked up in the study and talking about Xu Cheng, Cheng Yi's curiosity was also aroused, and she didn't know what happened to Xu Cheng, so she asked her father that they thought Xu Cheng was sinister.

At this time, the door opened, and Cheng Yi saw her mother walking out, and she wondered again, when her father was talking to Tian Yongjun and Lu Chengming about business, her mother also leaned over to listen?

Liu Xuemei saw Cheng Yi standing at the door with a water cup and asked, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"Drink water and go to sleep. Cheng Yi said.

"Drink less water before going to bed, or your eyes will be swollen again when you wake up tomorrow." Liu Xuemei said.

"I know, no one is watching at home," Cheng Yi grinned at her mother, glanced into the study of the East House, and greeted Tian Yongjun and Lu Baoming who were sitting at the desk, "Uncle Tian, Uncle Lu is so ......."

"When is Cheng Yi going to Xucheng?" Lu Baoming asked with a smile.

"It's over New Year's Day. Cheng Yi said, she wondered what happened in Xu Cheng and asked her dad to gather in the study late at night to discuss, but when Lu and Tian asked what directly, seeing that Lu and Tian both stood up, as if they were leaving, she also politely accompanied them out of the living room, standing under the eaves of the porch and watching them go out of the yard and get into the car.

Watching her father enter the study, Cheng Yi whispered to her mother: "What happened in Xucheng, Dad still called Uncle Tian and Uncle Lu to the house to talk about things in the middle of the night?"

"It's nothing," Liu Xuemei prevaricated, "Did you call Shen Huai today?"

"Who calls him every day?" Seeing his father standing at the door of the study, Cheng Yi realized that what happened in Xucheng was related to Shen Huai, and asked worriedly, "What, what happened to Shen Huai in Xucheng?"

"It's nothing," Cheng Wenguang said, "By the way, you're going to work in Xucheng, call and talk to your brother about it......"

"......" Cheng Yi was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "Oh, Cheng Xing is afraid that he hasn't gotten up early yet, I'll send him an email later," and muttered, "Dad, what's wrong with you today? Didn't you kick my brother out of the country at the beginning, cut off the father-son relationship, and didn't allow us to contact him? Why did you take the initiative to ask me to call my brother at this time?"

Cheng Wenguang said: "I can't work with my sister to deal with the object, I don't know if I am a brother......"

"Who's getting married?" Cheng Yi said unhappily, but when she thought of the hidden meaning behind her father's words, her eyes widened in surprise.

"Don't be foolish, nothing happens. Cheng Wenguang saw that his daughter had realized something, so he ordered to go into the study and close it to read the documents.

Cheng Yi suppressed her voice and asked her mother uncertainly: "Is it that as long as I marry Shen Huai, my father will let my brother return to China?"

Liu Xuemei only said: "Your question is strange, how can your sister get married, and when my brother doesn't come back abroad?" Cheng Yi asked again, Liu Xuemei just asked her upstairs to sleep, and refused to say a word.

Of course, Cheng Yi knew that things were not as light as her mother said, otherwise her brother would not be able to return to China in the past few years. She looked at the study room with the light leaking out of the crack in the door, and really didn't understand what happened today, making her parents mysterious?

Shut down

She took the water glass upstairs and returned to her room with a doubtful heart, sat on the edge of the bed, picked up the microphone, dialed two numbers and hesitated, not knowing whether to call Shen Huai to inquire about what happened in Xu Cheng, thinking that her parents were strange today, or what happened in Xu Cheng.

At this time, another phone rang at home, and Cheng Yi pricked up his ears to listen.

She has three telephones at home: one is a confidential telephone dedicated to her father's official business, one is a family telephone that is in normal use, and the other is a specially installed telephone in her room to prevent her from interfering with other people in her family when she is talking on the phone with her classmates and friends.

It's not her father's official phone, it's her mother answering the phone, Cheng Yi looked at the wall clock in the corner, it's past twelve o'clock, who will call home?

Cheng Yi changed the transatlantic number and pulled it out, his brother was busy, and vaguely heard her mother hanging up the phone downstairs, Cheng Yi dialed it again, and the phone was connected there, only to confirm that the call just now was really her brother's call.

"Why haven't you slept yet, when you remember to call me?"

Listening to the slightly hoarse voice on the phone, Cheng Yi tilted her head, pulled a strand of bangs that hung down behind her ear, and said, "I'm going to work in Xucheng after this month, and my dad asked me to call and talk to you...... You just called home?"

"......" There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then another voice came, "Don't listen to your parents, it doesn't matter if I return to China or not, the Song family really doesn't have a few good things......"

"I just went to work in Xucheng. Cheng Yi knew that she insisted on covering her ears and stealing the bell, but she couldn't tell anyone some inexplicable emotions.

"You don't have to sacrifice anything for me, let alone sacrifice for your father's official position, if you don't feel comfortable in China, you should go back to London and find a normal man to marry yourself - Shen Huai is definitely not a good species. ”

"What happened back then, Dad had to kick you out, and we weren't allowed to contact you?" asked Cheng Yi.

"I'm a bastard, if I do something wrong, I will naturally be punished, don't ask too much, the things back then were too complicated, and you didn't understand it. ”

"I'm twenty-five years old, why do you all treat me as a little girl?" Cheng Yi raised her voice dissatisfiedly.

"Even if you are eighty-five, in my brother's eyes, you are a little girl running around the yard with snot...... okay, I won't talk to you, I still have something to hurry out"

Listening to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Cheng Yi could only put down the phone helplessly: everyone kept her in the dark.

The sound of the wind and snow outside was tight, hitting the glass window, Cheng Yi turned off the light, pulled the curtains, and looked at the black snowflakes outside the window.

Cheng Yi lay down at the head of the bed, tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, took the mobile phone in her hand and pulled out a string of numbers, but she didn't know whether to press it or not, and I didn't know if Shen Huai would use the same words to fool her.

Cheng Yi wanted to put the phone back on the bedside table, but she accidentally spilled the water cup, so frightened that she quickly threw the phone away and ran to the bathroom to wipe the floor with a mop cloth......

At this time, the mobile phone rang, and Cheng Yi picked it up and saw that it was Shen Huai calling, and wondered: Why is it so coincidental?

"You dial my mobile phone, why did it ring and hang up?" Shen Huai asked suspiciously on the other end of the phone.

Cheng Yi realized that when she threw away the phone just now, she accidentally touched the call button, she clamped the phone around her neck, and said while mopping the floor: "I want to call you, think you may have slept." You haven't slept yet, have you?"

"Nope. I'm upset, I'm waiting for someone to call me to relieve my boredom......" Shen Huai said with a smile on the other end of the phone.

"What's bothering?" Cheng Yi asked.

"I did something unpleasant again, and I don't know what the result was......" Shen Huai said.

"Then what the hell is going on?" Cheng Yi said, "If you don't say it, how can I help you relieve your boredom?"

"Listening to your voice will relieve boredom......" Shen Huai said nonsense.

"Nonsense, you treat me as a four-year-old girl, so easy to deceive?"

"If you really want to be only four years old, it's enough to lie to you with a lollipop," Shen Huai said with a smile, "This afternoon because of Mei Gang's matter, my second uncle and I had a bit of an unpleasant quarrel." It's still uncertain whether the rain will be sunny or a thunderbolt, do you think I want to find someone to relieve my boredom at this time?"

"......" Cheng Yi didn't expect that what her father said in the study "Xu Cheng is sinister" turned out to be this thing, and she didn't know what caused Shen Huai to fall out with Song Qiaosheng, and asked with concern, "It's not that serious, isn't it that serious?"

"I'm just a heartless person, when the mountain falls, it will be used as a pillow, and when the sky falls, it should be covered, otherwise I won't always do things that offend people. However, this time the matter is more serious than expected," Shen Huai said, "However, if the result is really a bolt from the blue, it is good news for you, you don't have to come to Xucheng again with grievances, and your father will definitely not take a fancy to my crappy son-in-law again......"

Cheng Yi couldn't understand why her father wanted her to go to Xucheng after knowing that Shen Huai had a falling out with his second uncle Song Qiaosheng, listening to her parents, and seemed to insist on her marriage to Shen Huai, did her father think that Shen Huai's falling out with his second uncle was an opportunity?

Cheng Yi couldn't understand these questions, but there was no way to explain these strange things to Shen Huai.

Maybe hearing Shen Huai say so much frankly, but he concealed the situation and didn't tell Shen Huai anything, he felt a little guilty in his heart, and Cheng Yi became inexplicably gentle: "People didn't say that they felt wronged when they went to Xucheng, and they didn't go for you......"
