Chapter 172: Return to China
Cheng Xunxi sent Sun Jie home in the middle of the day.
It was nearly ten o'clock when I got home, but it was still dark and there was no light at all. It seems that Chen Yujian has not returned.
She stood at the door and rummaged through her handbag for a long time, but she couldn't find the key.
Before, she came back after eating with Sun Jie, and she put things away. Sun Jie wanted to get something. In a hurry, I thought I had forgotten my keys at home.
She took her mobile phone and wanted to take advantage of the last bit of power to call Chen Yujian and ask him to go home early and not stay in the company overnight. However, she hit one of the other and didn't pick up, and hit the second when she hit the second. The phone screen went black as soon as it was a moment.
Obviously, there is still five percent of the electricity, but somehow the screen goes black, and there is no way at all. I knew that there would be such a day, I should have listened to Yu Xuejun's words and hired people.
That way, even if she doesn't take the key, she won't be shut out.
She dropped the handbag on the ground, turned around and sat down on the steps, and just waited for Chen Yujian to come back.
However, when will this Chen Yujian come back? It's still an unknown, generally speaking, if he hasn't come back after ten o'clock, he probably won't come back.
He has a lounge in the company's office, where there is a bed where you can sleep, in fact, there is no overtime here, they all go to and from work on time and on time, and there are weekends.
But Chen Yujian is not like this, in the past six months, except for Sun Jie, he will come back suddenly, he rarely comes back at other times, he simply regards the company as his home, of course, Cheng Xunxuan can feel that he seems to be deliberately separating himself from her.
But think about it again this year he is going to return to Luancheng, and he has always taken his work so seriously. His mind was all on this matter, and in the face of the day he had been looking forward to for a long time was coming, it made sense to be more serious and focused than before.
In Cheng Xunxun's eyes. Chen Yujian's temperament is cold. From the inside to the outside, a person who doesn't smile and doesn't even say a word of nonsense, how could he think of deliberately separating himself from her, I guess he won't even think about it.
After a while, she thought of what he had said to her in the morning, and what kind of meaning did that sentence mean?
The weather was a little cold at night, Cheng Xunxi felt a little cold after sitting for a while, and couldn't help wrapping his clothes, the street was very quiet, the lights of every house were very dim, and slowly those windows were also dim.
Cheng Xunxun rubbed his hands and glanced at the road, it was deserted, and there were no car lights shining here, and there was no sign of anyone coming.
Cheng Xunxun waited until half past ten, and then considered whether to go to the company to find him, so it was not a way to wait, in case he really didn't come back, she couldn't wait at this door for a night.
Moreover, she was now certain that there was a real possibility that this person would not return.
Thinking like this, Cheng Xunxun got up and took his handbag and went to the company.
However, she went in vain, there was no one in the company, and Chen Yujian was not in the company at all.
It's a pity that she can't remember his mobile phone number, but this person is not in the company, where can he go?
After sitting in the office for a while, he got up and pushed open the door of the lounge and slept on the bed with his clothes.
When Cheng Xunshu woke up, it was already dawn, and there was a trace of movement outside the door, she rubbed her eyes and sat up, and when her mind was a little clearer, she walked to the door and planned to go out.
However, before he opened the door, he heard Chen Yujian scolding in English outside, which sounded like he was angry, because he said it too fast, and Cheng Xunxun didn't hear it clearly. But she heard her name.
When it was quiet outside, she cautiously pushed the door out, and Chen Yujian was the only one left in the office, she went over lightly and stood behind him. Just as she was thinking about how to scare him, he seemed to sense someone behind him, and suddenly turned around, just in front of each other.
The two were silent for a minute, Chen Yujian's brows stretched to tighten again, stood up, and said, "Why didn't you go home last night?"
"I forgot the key at home, and I can't get in after sending Sun Jie back. ”
"Why don't you call?"
Cheng Xunxun walked to the desk and said, "Yes, I called you twice, the first one was that you didn't answer." Then my phone went dead. I waited at the door for a long time, thinking that you were not going home again, so I came to the company to look for you, who knows that it was still empty. ”
"Yesterday I walked around the mall with Sun Jie for a day, and I was so tired, so I slept in your lounge for the night. ”
Chen Yujian glared at her, with unappeased anger in her eyes. Cheng Xunxun was a little flustered by her, laughed dryly, and said, "What's the matter?" Oh, by the way, do you have any extra toiletries here?" ”
He lowered his eyes, just in time to glance at the watch on her wrist, raised his eyebrows slightly, bent down to sit in the boss's chair, and said, "No, I never prepare superfluous things." I thought you would go back with Sun Jie as soon as you were excited. ”
"Why, even if you have to leave, I will explain to you, and I won't leave without a sound. It's not elopement, don't worry. ”
Chen Yujian nodded and said lightly: "I'm relieved, well, I'm relieved." !"
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Xunxun was stunned for a moment, looked at his face quietly, and suddenly found that the suit on his body was the same as the one he went out yesterday, and there were some traces of wrinkles, and there was an unconcealable tiredness between his eyebrows, as if he had not slept all night, there was a faint dark blue under his eyes, and a pair of eyes were full of bloodshots.
He looked at her expressionlessly for a moment, then withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes, and took the documents on the side and looked at them.
She didn't ask anything, and she didn't wait for Chen Yujian to say anything more, she turned around and was very obedient and really planned to get out, but when she walked to the door, Chen Yujian spoke again, "You come over to me!"
She stood at the door, but this time she was not so obedient, and said, "I'll go home and wash up and come back to work." ”
"Hey, let you go, you're very obedient, let you come over and you'll play dead for me?"
Cheng Xunxun felt that he was extremely innocent, but he still didn't move, stood at the door, thought about it, and said, "Did you look for me yesterday?"
Chen Yujian didn't answer her, but she still thought about it, faintly showed a smile, turned to face him, put her hands behind her back, and said: "Actually, I waited for you at the door of the house for a long time last night, and I didn't mean to let you not find it, if I knew that you would go home, I would definitely wait for you to come back at the door, and I wouldn't run around." ”
"I'm sorry to worry you. ”
Chen Yujian glanced at her, snorted coldly, and said, "Why didn't I see that you feel sorry now, Cheng Xunxun, you are laughing." ”
Cheng Xunxun quickly raised his hand, rubbed his cheeks, and said, "Is there any?" "Peri-Li prelude.
Chen Yujian snorted, glanced at her, was silent for a while, hooked his hand at her, and said, "Come here." ”
She didn't move.
Chen Yujian stared at her for a long time, saw that she was motionless, and said, "We still have something to say between us." ”
Yesterday, when she saw Sun Jie away, she had already made a decision, she originally wanted to wait for him to come back in the evening, but who knew that she tossed it all night, she said: "I will go back to Luancheng with you." ”
"Are you sure?"
Cheng Xunxun smiled, didn't say anything, turned around and opened the door and went out.
The door of the office closed softly, Chen Yujian closed his eyes, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and then pressed the inner line to ask someone to bring him a cup of black coffee to come in to refresh himself.
……
On the day he left Edinburgh, Yu Xuejun came for a trip, and Cheng Xunjun had already packed his luggage and put it at the entrance. Because I didn't know when I would come back, the day before, Cheng Xunchun did a big cleaning, and cleaned up the house properly, collected what should be collected, and lost everything.
Chen Yujian found an excuse to go upstairs, and only Cheng Xunxun and Yu Xuejun were left in the living room. ”
Yu Xuejun didn't care about this, he just looked at her intently, frowned, and said: "Xun Xun, have you really thought about going back? In fact, you have forgotten that if you don't want to see him succeed in his career, I can be angry for you and frustrate his spirit." can also make him untenable in Luancheng. ”
"You don't have to go in person, or are you unhappy about staying here? If you want a change of environment, you tell me, and I'll arrange it for you." ”
Cheng Xunxun rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Do you think a person who has no past will really be happy? Some people can forget, but some people can't forget, I know that I may have lived a very unhappy life in the past, and it is a good thing to forget." But because of those bad guys, they have forgotten all the people who shouldn't be forgotten, so I'm afraid it's not good. ”
"And there's my home there, and I'd like to go back and see it. I can't run away from it for the rest of my life, and when I go back, I may not be able to recall the past, but if I really want to, I will remember it when I go to another country. You don't worry about me, I'll take care of myself. ”
Yu Xuejun reached out and held her hand, although Cheng Xunxun had amnesia, her personality was still the same as before, and the things she decided would not change. He patted the back of her hand lightly, shook his head with a light smile, and said, "Actually, before I came, I knew that I meant not to move you, and since you have already decided, I also respect your choice." ”
"This is Xu Yin, who has been by my side for a few years, and has been in charge of domestic affairs, so this time I asked him to follow you, and he can help you. As for Chen Yujian, you should pay more attention, although he has been taking care of you and cultivating you in the past two years. But he didn't do it just for you. ”
"Even if you go back, what he wants you to do, you can refuse, you have to know that your status is higher than him, and you have the right to say no to him. Do you understand?" he said seriously.
Cheng Xunxun nodded and said with a smile: "I know." ”
"Well, don't force it, you have a way out now, and I'm always your way out here, remember. ”
Cheng Xunhui shook his hand and said, "I remember." ”
The two chatted a few more words, Cheng Xunshun went upstairs to call Chen Yujian, there was no one in the room, she went up to the roof terrace, he was standing on the railing and smoking.
"It's almost time, let's go to the airport. She used to stand at his side, leaning sideways against the railing.
Chen Yujian took the last puff of cigarette, extinguished the cigarette butt, smiled at her sideways, and said, "Okay." ”
After more than ten hours of travel, Cheng Xunxuan woke up from a sleep, and the plane had already begun to descend, she yawned, rubbed her eyes, ripped off the blanket on her body, and said, "It's here." ”
"yes, looking forward to it?"
Chen Yujian will look energetic and a little excited, she said: "Now I just feel so tired, I just want to get off the plane and find a comfortable bed to sleep well." ”
"You've been asleep for a long time. ”
"I can't sleep well at all. Cheng Xunxun sat up straight, tucked the blanket aside, straightened his back, combed his loose hair, and said, "Where do we live?"
He said, "For the time being, I will stay in the hotel, and the house is not fully ready in a hurry." ”
"Okay. She didn't ask, just accepted.
She tied her hair up, took out a small mirror from her bag, and touched up her makeup. Chen Yujian glanced at him with his peripheral vision, and the corners of his lips provoked a shallow smile, the current Cheng Xunxun is no longer the Cheng Xunxun of the past, even if he added fuel and vinegar to tell her some things she had forgotten, she still lives a positive life, and inexplicably has a good attitude.
She takes care of herself very well, and she loves herself very much, I should say very much.
The plane landed at Luancheng International Airport, and after it was stable, the two stood up, Chen Yujian stood in the aisle, waiting for Cheng Xunxun to take things out and get off the plane after her.
When they arrived in Luancheng, it was already evening, Cheng Xunxun was wearing an orange woolen jacket, followed behind Chen Yujian, and went with him to get the luggage.
Chen Yujian stood next to her, watching her put her luggage on the cart, Cheng Xunxun asked for help, and he went over to help.
Someone has been arranged to pick them up from the airport, picked up the two of them smoothly, sent them to the hotel, took the room card and took them upstairs.
In the ordinary suite, the two are not next door, separated by a distance.
Chen Yujian arrived first, opened the door and went in, and said, "Rest for a while, and wait until six o'clock for us to go out to eat together." ”
"Good. She glanced at the sign on the door, memorized the room number, and followed the hotel waiter to find her room.
Five-star hotels, room facilities are in place, do more than ten hours of flight, Cheng Xun has already been tired, let the waiter put the luggage at the door, gave a little tip, and beckoned them out.
took off his coat, lay directly on the bed, closed his eyes for a while, and fell asleep without expecting it, and he slept soundly.
At six o'clock, Chen Yujian knocked on her door, and it took a long time before she woke up, opened her eyes suddenly, got up, wiped her mouth, got up in a trance, opened the door, held her forehead with one hand, and said, "What's the matter?"
"Tidy up and eat. ”
"No, I won't. I want to sleep, you can eat by yourself. She squinted her eyes half-squinting, and was ready to close the door and go back to sleep.
Chen Yujian stretched out his hand and clasped the door panel, and said, "I can't let you this time, I want to take you to meet someone, you can use it all day tomorrow to reverse jet lag, but now you have to go out with me." ”
Cheng Xunxun was a little annoyed, and the whole person stuck to the door panel, put his head on it, and pouted for a while. Chen Yujian couldn't stand it, stepped forward, grabbed her shoulder, pushed her into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and poured some cold water on her face to sober her up.
She was next to him, and she was adorable, her hands dangling in front of her eyes, and when she turned her head, she buried her cheeks in his chest, and said, "I see, I can't go to me." ”
Chen Yujian quickly pulled her away from the front, wiped the water on her hands with a towel, and said, "I'll give you ten minutes." With that, he walked out of the bathroom.
Then, Cheng Xunxun washed his face, put on a nude makeup as fast as possible, and when he came out, the whole person was already in good spirits, Chen Yujian was not in the room, she opened the door, and he stood at the door and waited.
"Why are you standing outside?"
Chen Yujian didn't answer her words, and said, "Let's go." ”
Chen Yujian drove by herself, and after about 20 minutes, the car stopped in front of a private restaurant.
They found the private room by themselves, Chen Yujian knocked on the door twice, then pushed the door and walked in, there was already a person sitting inside, the suit was straight, he turned his head to look here when he heard the movement, showed a slight smile, and said, "It's here." ”
"Sorry, there was a delay on the way, I was late. ”
Cheng Xunxun didn't know this person, of course, she knew only a handful now, seeing the other party's gaze sweeping over, she smiled politely at him, and then secretly poked Chen Yujian's back.
"Oh, I forgot you don't remember anymore. He is Zhou Yanzhen, my fourth brother. ”
Cheng Xunxun has heard this name, but he has never seen a face, and Zhou Yanzhen is also a tragic character in the story, having been in prison for two years. "Hello. ”
Zhou Yanzhen's eyes looked up and down her body for a while, then nodded with a smile and said, "Long time no see, you are more beautiful." ”
"Thank you. Cheng Xunxun gladly accepted his compliment.
"Sit down. ”
Zhou Yanzhen sat between them, Cheng Xunxuan kept a standard smile on his face, and when Zhou Yanzhen talked to her, she would stop her chopsticks and listen sideways, and she would wait until he finished speaking.
Zhou Yanzhen couldn't help but look at her a few more times, smiled, and said, "Compared with before, the changes are quite big, but I like the current Cheng Xunxun." You've cultivated well. As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Chen Yujian.
He chuckled and said, "It's not exactly what I cultivated, it's probably because of the cultural heritage of Edinburgh." ”
Chen Yujian said that she was very stupid in the past, so stupid that anyone would believe it, and she liked to go all the way to the dark.
Zhou Yanzhen nodded with a light smile, changed the topic in a moment, and began to talk about business matters, Cheng Xunzhen poured them wine next to him and did not intervene. When Zhou Yanzhen talked to Chen Yujian, he would always glance at Cheng Xunxun from time to time, with inquiry in his eyes, and occasionally when he picked up a wine glass and drank, he would show a thoughtful look.
Cheng Xunxun saw it all, but as if he didn't see it, he ate by himself, and only after he called his name did he answer.
After the meal, Chen Yujian called the driver to come over, and then sent her to the door of the restaurant, and when the driver came, he handed him the car keys, and said to Cheng Xunxun: "Go back and rest, it's not too late for the company to go to work the day after tomorrow, don't push yourself too hard." ”
"Well, I know. ”
"Let's go back. He nudged her.
Cheng Xunxun said goodbye, turned around and followed the driver, Chen Yujian saw her get into the car, and then went back to the private room.
All the dishes on the table have been removed, and a pot of tea has been replaced, Zhou Yanzhen is pouring tea slowly and methodically, without raising his head, and said: "Take care of her so much, you have to wait for her to get in the car before you can rest assured." What's the matter? Get along day and night?"
"It's normal to have feelings, the thread that Yue Lao pulled down was me and her, not Zhou Yanqing and her. It's just that Zhou Yanqing took away everything from me, and all the family enemies and wives were snatched away from me, since the identity is now reversed, then this wife should also be in place. He said as he walked over and sat down beside him, picked up his teacup and took a sip.
Zhou Yanzhen raised his eyebrows and looked at him deeply, as if to explore whether his words were true or false, "I can't see it, you can be honest, don't scare me." ”
Chen Yujian looked at him sideways for a few seconds, then burst out laughing, shook his head, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Just kidding, why are you so serious, fourth brother?"
"It really scared me to laugh, you can be so serious. ”
"How is the second brother? Are you okay?" he smiled, and when he talked about Zhou Yanke, the expression on his face became inexplicably serious.
"The same old way. ”
Chen Yujian took out an invitation, put it on the table, tapped it lightly with his fingers, and said: "The people of the Song family are very thoughtful in their work, and they sent the invitation before the company made it public." Are you going?"
Zhou Yanzhen picked up the invitation, opened it and looked at it, smiled slightly, and said, "Go, of course I went." Cheng Xunxun is back, they should always have a good reunion, don't you say? Otherwise, I'm sorry for the changes in Cheng Xunxun now. ”
"I'm afraid I'll ...... if it's made public"
"Who said she was going to show up publicly?" Zhou Yanzhen looked sideways, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
Chen Yujian looked at him for a moment, raised his eyebrows slightly, frowned imperceptibly, muttered for a moment, and said, "I'm afraid she won't." ”
Zhou Yanzhen didn't speak, only smiled shallowly, raised his hand and touched his chin.
After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "I'm also afraid that she won't, so don't let her know, and if she refuses when the time comes, she won't be able to resist, isn't it? ”
Chen Yujian smiled silently.
After a while, Chen Yujian said, "Do you think Zhou Yanqing will still be moved by her?"
"I can promise to let him go off. ”
Chen Yujian was silent.
"Do you want to go see your second brother?" Zhou Yanzhen asked abruptly.
"Well, I've always wanted to see him. ”
"Let's go. He likes a lot of people, and when there are many people, he laughs very happily, and when he laughs happily, he drools and is completely uncontrollable. In fact, if his hands and feet were not destroyed, but he had become mentally retarded, I think he would be the happiest person among us, don't you think?"
Chen Yujian's throat moved slightly, and his face changed, but he still reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Yes." ”
