Chang An didn't ask too much about Zhou Wei's company, first, she didn't understand them, and even if she asked, she wouldn't be able to help at all, but Zhou Yan had to be patient to explain to her, so back and forth, in fact, it didn't make sense at all, and second, she had to comfort after asking, but what was the comfort, now these insignificant nonsense are probably the most useless to him.

Chang Anxin, like Spiegel, knows what he can do and what he doesn't need to do.

……

The second day was planned to go to the Vatican.

The Vatican is a landlocked country in the highlands of the northwest corner of Rome, small in size, small in population, bordered by Italy on all sides, so it is called "Guoguo", but this small country is the center of Catholicism in the world - the seat of the Holy See headed by the Pope, that is, the center of faith of one-sixth of the world's population.

Very beautiful small country, but with a lot of tourists, faces and skin tones from all over the world.

Chang'an planned to stay only one day, so I went to St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums, and the Sistine Chapel alone.

When I returned to the hotel in the evening, I sent Zhou Wei a few photos as usual, including the dome of St. Peter's Basilica, and the magnificent ceiling made people really reluctant to take their eyes off.

After the photo was sent, Chang An immediately posted: "Next time I have the opportunity, I will accompany you to come again." But there was no reply on WeChat.

At this time, it was almost one o'clock in the morning, and Chang An expected that Zhou Wei should sleep, so he didn't worry about it.

She went to take a shower, packed her luggage again, lay down in bed very late, and habitually swiped WeChat again before going to bed, but saw Zhou Xin update a circle of friends.

She posted a front door of the Beijing Hotel, with the words - "Revisit the old place, and live here every time you come to Beijing." ”

Chang An's heart trembled.

Zhou Xin went to Beijing, Zhou Xin is also in Beijing, are they together?

Chang An didn't sleep well that night, she attributed it to the unfamiliar bed in a strange hotel, and woke up at five o'clock the next morning, tossing and turning, dizzy.

I got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower, and when I went back to bed, I still couldn't help touching my phone.

The interface of the big gray rabbit is still stuck in the few photos sent to him last night, all night, he didn't reply, and Zhou Xin's circle of friends updated another photo - the breakfast restaurant of the Beijing Hotel, she took a picture of the food on the plate, salad and bread with beautiful colors, but there was obviously another plate opposite, the edge of the plate was faintly a hand, and the wrist was a men's watch with a brown belt.

The watch Chang An recognizes, and the one that Zhou often carries.

Chang An admonished himself to be sensible, trust is for each other, they don't have much time together, everything has just begun, but they have promised each other that there is still a long way to go.

She put down her mobile phone, walked to the floor-to-ceiling mirror and looked at herself in the mirror, her face was not very good, gray and blue dark circles, but the kiss marks on her neck had not faded, and the spots showed the madness of the two of them a few days ago.

Chang An slapped his face and said to the mirror: "Don't think nonsense, don't lick him at this time!"

Chang An quit the room, and took the bus back to Rome in the morning as planned, and flew to London in the afternoon.

At this time, no news is good news, and she prayed silently, maybe it was just a false alarm.

In the afternoon, he tried to contact Chang Wangde again while waiting for the plane.

For so many years, Chang An has never asked Chang Wangde about his work, and has never used his position to seek anything for herself, but this time she plans to make an exception.

Sun Zhengdao and Yu'an, she felt that it was most appropriate to ask her father, after all, his position was there, maybe he could help, but after dialing his private number twice, no one answered, Chang An had no bottom in his heart, and sent it to Chang Jiahui; "Is Dad at home these days?"

The other side quickly replied, "Yes, but he's very busy, he goes out early in the morning and comes back after dark at night, do you have something to do with him?"

Chang An thought about it and felt that it was still not suitable to tell the truth to Chang Jiahui's big mouth.

"It's okay, just ask, he hasn't recovered yet, you ask Aunt Ying to persuade him not to work too hard. ”

After that, I talked to Chang Jiahui for a few more words, and the radio reminded me that I was about to board the plane, so I stopped the topic.

In the evening, Chang An arrived in London, took a taxi back to the house, and packed up to report safety to Zhou Wei, but the eight-hour time difference between London and China, at this time Beijing was almost three or four o'clock in the morning, and it was not appropriate to call or send WeChat, so he gave up.

On the second day, I made an appointment with Edan to meet, and it was just lunch time, so I made an appointment at a western restaurant near the villa.

Edan had something to do, so he hurried over at noon, and the first thing he said when he saw Chang An was: "Ann, your face is not good-looking." ”

Chang An was speechless, would this person be able to chat?

"Maybe I haven't slept well lately, what's the matter, it's ugly?"

"Not really, you're a prettygirl in my eyes at all times. ”

Chang An rolled his eyes at him, took the menu and ordered a simple meal.

"Let's get down to business!"

"Okay, let's get down to business!" Edan also deliberately cleared his throat and pulled out a stack of things from his bag, "This is all the property that MissXue left behind before his death, except for that house, it's all here." ”

Chang An took the information and went through it roughly, she actually had an approximate amount in her mind about how much inheritance her grandmother had left behind, after all, the lawyer had already asked her to sign the inheritance procedures before, and it was just a matter of process to find Edan to sort it out again.

"It shouldn't be a problem, that's all. She handed the information over again.

Edan was shocked, "That's all?"

Chang An: "That's right!"

Edan: "All?"

Chang An smiled, "What kind of expression do you have?" I have already told you before, except for the villa where my grandmother lived before her death, all the other inheritances are invested in the fund, and the name of the fund is named after her Chinese name. ”

Edan took a sip of his coffee slowly.

Chang An also doesn't like nonsense, "You give me the documents that need to be signed by me as soon as possible, I can't stay in London for a few days, and you have full authority to handle the rest for me." "Edan has been working for her for so many years, and has long since risen from a financial advisor to a friend, so she can definitely be trusted.

Edan snorted, "Prettyand... richgirl!”

Chang An felt that this compliment was really cheesy and concise, but she was ashamed of it, the amount on this information was just a number to her, if she didn't do something, it would be meaningless, not to mention that the money was not hers, she didn't earn a penny.

"My grandfather had this wish when he was alive, but then his health failed, and he kept it on hold, my grandmother mentioned it to me a few times, but at that time she still had to worry about my mother and me, so she didn't do it, and now no one is there, I want to do something for my grandmother, and it makes sense to run a charity fund than to throw money in the bank. ”

The most important thing is that Chang An is not short of money, even if she donates her grandmother's inheritance, the ones that Xue Bing left her are enough for her to squander for several lifetimes.

Edan understands her situation, envy and sigh, but more than that, appreciation.

"The Lord will bless you!" he said solemnly.

Chang An was amused by him, "Okay, I'm just doing what I should do, eat first!"

"Wait!"

Chang An was stunned, "Do you have anything else?"

Edan drew the menu again, "Add a steak, you're so rich!"

Chang An: "......"

After lunch, Edan still had a job, Chang An didn't stay long, and he didn't take a car after leaving the restaurant, and walked back to the villa, and saw many shops and restaurants with Christmas decorations in front of the door.

Just after Christmas, thinking that when I went to Italy before, Zhou Wei also said that I would accompany her for Christmas Eve, but the plan can never catch up with the change.

She silently took out her mobile phone again, it should be night in China, and she didn't know where Zhou Wei was at this time.

The two haven't been in touch for two days, and she wanted to take the initiative to send a WeChat message to ask, but the content was edited for a long time, and she didn't know how to start, so she finally gave up.

In the evening, Sister Zhang and two other Chinese nannies who had worked in the villa before knew that Chang An was back and made an appointment to come over for dinner.

knew that Chang'an couldn't cook, so he had already prepared the ingredients when he came.

The kitchen hasn't been used for a long time, but it's always being cleaned, so it's ready to use after a little tidying up.

I made a few Chinese dishes for dinner, and baked cakes and pizzas.

Chang An didn't eat much, but he drank a lot of wine, and he was very happy.

She is not a person who is good at expressing feelings, but Sister Zhang and these nannies have taken care of her, and they have been getting along for many years, and it is inevitable to be excited when they see each other.

She guessed that she might be drunk, so she didn't hear the bell, so she quickly called back, but after waiting for a long time, no one answered.

Chang An was a little discouraged, and the hangover caused him to have a terrible headache, so he pulled the quilt and fell asleep again.

Chang An stayed in London for three days.

Edan was very efficient, and the preparation of the fund's materials was almost done, and she was able to sign some important documents before she returned home.

Chang An took another day to go shopping in the mall.

It's hard to come out of a trip, you have to bring some gifts back, colleagues are easy to solve, the Christmas discount hasn't passed, Chang An picked some perfume and chocolate, mother-in-law and Aunt Ying, she picked two sets of local skin care products, grandfather, father-in-law and father, she picked skin care products, Chang Jiahui's gift took a little thought, little girl, after all, to be vain, so I chose a bracelet for her, think about the nature of her current work and need to go out often to meet people, Chang Wangde has no pocket money subsidy, Chang An went to Burberry's flagship store again, and chose a windbreaker for her according to Chang Jiahui's height and size。

It was already evening after settling the account, and there were still gifts from Zhou Xin and Zhou Xin that had not been bought.

Chang An has already carried a lot of things, she doesn't like to go shopping, her legs are about to break, and she doesn't want to toss anymore, so she returned to the store and chose a random women's scarf.

She knew that Zhou Xin definitely did not lack these things, but it was her own intention to buy them for her.

In the end, there were only things left, the whole bustling street, the lights were already shining in the windows, but Chang An was vaguely blocking things in her heart, struggling, forget it, she didn't want to buy it, who made her unhappy!

……

Tickets were booked in advance, and the next afternoon flight was a direct flight from London to Yunling.

After Chang An arrived home, he sorted and packed up everything in the same way, for fear that he would forget, so he put sticky notes on each gift.

She didn't bring much with her when she came, only a small suitcase, but when she went back, it was obvious that the suitcase could not fit in, but fortunately there were other boxes in the storage room, so she went and dragged them out and packed them all properly.

After getting out and eating something casually, I got home before dark, and just entered the door, the mobile phone rang, Zhou Wei's phone.

Chang An hurriedly connected.

"Hey!"

"It's ...... me"

Chang An smiled bitterly, every time he called, he started with these two words, was he afraid that she wouldn't be able to hear his voice.

"I know, you drank?"

"Can you hear me?"

"The sound is obvious. "It's dumb, it's heavy, it sounds weak.

Zhou Wei was silent for a while, in fact, it had been four or five days since the two of them last contacted, and it should have been a lot to say, but he didn't speak, she didn't say anything, she was silent for a while, heard a little heavy breathing, and finally Zhou Wei spoke first, "Where are you?"

"London, what about you?"

"Beijing. ”

Both of them laughed for a while, and for some reason, Chang An's things that had been blocked in her heart seemed to have eased a lot in the past few days, she slowly leaned her body against the door panel, and asked, "Has Yu'an's matter been solved?"

"Nope. ”

"Didn't go well?"

"Hmm. ”

Chang An didn't ask any further, in fact, listening to his voice, he knew that he was in a very bad state, and he was a little distressed, but he didn't say it, and he didn't know how to comfort him, he was silent for a while, and then asked, "When will you go back to Yunling?"

"It's not decided yet, maybe a few more days. ”

"Alone?"

"Xu Nan and Lao Deng are here. There was a sudden cough.

Chang An's mind tightened, "What's wrong?

"Nope. Zhou Wei suppressed his coughing voice and eased a little, "What about you, when will you return to Yunling?"

"Booked a ticket for tomorrow afternoon. ”

"Hmm. ”

The two began to fall silent again.

Chang An leaned against the door and crushed the stone slab on the ground with his toes.

She felt that she should say something, he was so tired and under so much pressure, as a wife, even if she couldn't help anything at this time, she should at least say something close to herself, but the clever words she usually faced the elders were gone.

She has always been too restrained in front of Zhou Wei.

There are too few words, not because I don't want to say it, but because I really don't know how to speak.

After being silent for a while, Chang An was a little difficult to support, she withdrew her feet, "If it's okay, why don't you hang up first?"

"Hmm. ”

There was still a deep voice.

Chang An bit his lip, "Then let's do it first." She snatched her phone away from her ear and was about to hang up, but at the last second she heard a slightly hurried voice from there, "Wait!"

Chang An hurriedly pressed the phone to his ear again.

"Anything else?"

There was silence again, but with his subtle breathing, but it was short-lived, and a moment later the voice of Zhou was heard in his ears again.

He said, "Chang An, I miss you so much!"

It was just a few words, without any embellishment, but when it came out of his mouth, Chang An's heart was stirred to death.

She wanted to, she wanted to, but she wouldn't say.

She suddenly hated herself so restrained, what was she worried and panicking about?

The people over there seemed to have waited for a while without getting any response.

Zhou Yan sighed: "I'm sorry, I drank too much, contact me when I get to Yunling." This time, he took the initiative to hang up the phone.

The wind blew from the other side of the yard, and the branches rustled.

Chang An leaned against the door with his eyes closed and gasped.

It's really unproductive!

……

At the Beijing Hotel, it was already past the wee hours of the morning. Zhou Wei threw his mobile phone on the table, outside the window was still the endless flow of Chang'an Street, he was exhausted, pulled a chair over and sat down, the whole person was trapped inside, holding his forehead with his hand, his head was very heavy, but he couldn't sleep.

I sat there for a while until the doorbell rang.

Zhou Xin went over to open the door, and it was Zhou Xin standing outside the door, not surprisingly, she was the only one who had the courage to quarrel with him so late.

"Something?"

Zhou Xin glanced at him, the shirt on his body had not been taken off, the tie was torn loose, the neckline was drooping, the eye circles were red, and he was in extremely poor condition.

"Xu Nan said that you drank too much, come and see you, can you go in?"

"Inconvenient. ”

Zhou Xin smiled bitterly, "You are alone in your room, what's inconvenient?"

Zhou Tao was still holding the doorknob and didn't mean to let go, so everything was self-evident, and he didn't welcome it.

Zhou Xin wanted to stab him a few words, but seeing that his face was so bad, he couldn't bear it after all.

"Then say it at the door, I have already contacted Chu Feng, and he promised to meet me. ”

Zhou Wei frowned, "You see him?"

"At least it's a way back, and if Yu'an is really forced to pull out, the development bank is the last option. ”

Zhou Wei snorted: "Chu Feng himself is difficult to protect. ”

Zhou Xin: "It's not necessarily, there is no business relationship between him and Yu'an, the only connection is that he is husband and wife with Li Meiyu, not to mention that I am just trying, at least it is a road, brother, I want to help you!"

Zhou Xin has indeed been helping Zhou Xin move around since the accident, and she has accumulated some contacts over the years, no matter what the result is, but at least she is sincerely helping him.

Zhou Wei sighed slightly, "Thank you!"

Zhou Xin laughed, "Thank you, the family still says this kind of thing." Then he asked, "You're still traveling in Italy?"

Turning a corner, Zhou Wei was stunned and didn't catch it, and paused for two seconds before returning, "Go back tomorrow." ”

Zhou Xin couldn't help but arrange, "She also has a big heart, your side is already in chaos, and she is still in the mood to travel." Brother, is she right to you..."

"It's late, go back early and rest!"

Zhou Xinsheng planned Zhou Xin's words, so he closed the door casually, and Zhou Xin was isolated from the door, his face was extremely ugly.

Zhou Wei walked to the bed again, the phone was still thrown on the table, the screen was already dark, he rubbed his face and sat down on the chair again, reaching for a cigarette and a lighter......

The flight back to Yunling from Rome was delayed for two hours, and it was already more than 10 o'clock in the morning when it landed at Yunling Airport the next day.

Chang An took the suitcase out, there were many passengers in the arrival hall, she stood for a while, looking for a place to eat something to fill her stomach, the door of the restaurant was facing the display screen that played the flight schedule, and she saw the word "Beijing".

This is the arrival hall for international flights.

Chang An held his head and thought for a moment, paid the bill, got up and dragged the suitcase of the dead man towards the direction of the domestic terminal.

……

Zhou Wei stayed in Beijing for almost a week, and he saw everyone he could meet, but things didn't improve, Sun Zhengdao and Li Meiyu still didn't have any news at all, and even the few Yu'an executives who went in before have not been able to come out.

That night, I made an appointment with someone from the judiciary for dinner, the place was extremely secret, and at first it was all general talk, because I had a work relationship before, and I only used it as a friend to catch up, just a few glasses of wine, and the atmosphere gradually came up, and the other party told the truth.

"Xiao Zhou, there are some things that I can't reveal to reason, but after all, I have been friends for so many years, and I am also an old acquaintance with your father, so I advise you to make plans early!" he leaned over to Zhou Wei and lowered his voice. There is basically no room for turning around in the matter of Sun Zhengdao and Yu'an, the above instructed to do it strictly, and you must be a model, you are also a smart person, your father should also understand that once the tree is typical, not only Sun Zhengdao and Yu'an will not be able to escape, but if you investigate it in the future, you may be implicated in other things, as for the specific things, I can't say anything else, but one thing can be reminded, this action is not intended to be Sun Zhengdao, he is just an introduction, where is it, you can figure it out yourself!"

When it comes to this, it has been benevolent and righteous.

Without exception, Zhou Wei drank too much that night, and was helped into the room by Xu Nan, Xu Nan saw that his face was extremely bad, and he didn't dare to stay longer, so he poured him a glass of water and left.

Zhou Wei lay on the bed alone for a while, sorting out the whole thing's thoughts.

The worst result he thought of before was that Sun Zhengdao was dismissed and investigated, and the project could not be affected, but it should not be too big, but according to the current situation, it seems that it is not only as simple as dismissal and investigation, as the person from the judicial agency said in the evening, once it is set up as a model, Yu'an will bear the brunt. In the past two years, the heart of rectification has been very firm, and various actions have been frequent, severely punishing corruption, and rectifying party discipline and party style, so Yu'an was forced to withdraw his investment, and it is not impossible to stop the project, but if the purpose of this action is not Sun Zhengdao, what is it for?

Yu'an?

What is the nature of Yu'an, G enterprise, representing the property of the state.

The more Zhou Yan thought about it, the more he had a headache, he pressed his arm back on his forehead, and lay on the bed for a while, as if his chest was tight and short of breath, he simply pulled his tie and got up to touch his mobile phone.

He felt that he needed to find someone to talk to, otherwise he would have to suffocate to death, so he hesitated for a long time and dialed Chang An's number, but no one answered after waiting for a while.

According to the time, she should be in Yunling at this time, and said that she would contact her when she got home, but she still didn't say a word.

Zhou Wei was very irritable, threw his phone aside again, tossed twice before getting up from the bed, and wanted to go to the bathroom to take a shower, but the doorbell began to ring after two steps.

It's so late, it's Zhou Xin again!

He rubbed his face and ignored it, and continued to walk to the bathroom, but the doorbell rang twice in a row.

He knows what kind of virtue Zhou Xin has, and he won't stop until he reaches his goal!

He walked over with a cold face and pulled the door open.

"Are you interesting? can you not...", but in the middle of the sentence, his voice was cut off.

Standing at the door was Chang An, wearing a white windproof suit, dragging a suitcase, his whole face was tightly wrapped in a scarf, and only a pair of black eyes were exposed......
