Jiang Mucheng was silent for a few seconds, and his body was in front of him, a person with a cold temperament was more like a king of Hades at this time, revealing a cold murderous aura: "You have already received my money, if you just collect money and don't do anything, I think it will be difficult for you to see the sun tomorrow." ”

"I took your money?" Shi Chuxi still tilted his head, turned to think about it, and asked without fear of death: "You mean to give me a tip? Those can buy me off and keep such a big secret for you?"

Jiang Mucheng's cold eyes narrowed for a moment, staring at her for a few seconds, his expression suddenly relaxed, and he leaned into the seat carelessly, and his tone was firm: "I know you won't shake this secret out." ”

"How can you see it?" Shi Chuxi was determined to joke with "Mr. Jin", and a smile appeared on his beautiful lips, "I am not related to you, since it is just a friendship of money, then it is natural to look at money to do things, you give more, I will be more conservative, you give less, I will give less." ”

This time, Jiang Mucheng laughed directly, raised his lips with interest, and spit out his voice very clearly: "I know you won't." ”

"Why wouldn't I?" Shi Chuxi smiled on her lips, and her heart was grateful for this man's generosity and help to her, both grateful and more complicated emotions, this was the first time she and "Mr. Jin" talked face-to-face in broad daylight, and her mood couldn't help but get better.

Jiang Mucheng took a sip of coffee unhurriedly, and stated slowly in a slightly cool voice: "Because you are not only a teacher-student relationship with Xiao Qinyan, you are also friends, deep down in your heart, I hope she grows up happily, and you don't want to see her hurt in any way." ”

"What? are you talking about...... What?"

Shi Chuxi would never have thought that he was telling her this. Didn't she just tell him the same thing?

In fact, he is talking about Xiao Qinyan's life experience, and she is talking about the secret that he is "Mr. Jin"?

Shi Chuxi was speechless for a long time, and Jiang Mucheng's very heroic brows furrowed: "Miss Shi, what kind of expression do you have? Isn't what you and I just said the same thing?"

Shi Chuxi lowered his head tiredly and pressed his forehead, is this Jiang Mucheng knowingly asking, deliberately going around in circles with her, or is he really not "Mr. Jin"?

She was confused.

"Miss Shi. Jiang Mucheng seemed to be waiting for her answer.

"Oh. She raised her head and pulled out a smile: "Of course, in addition to treating Xiao Qinyan as my student, I am still good friends with her." Of course, I hope that she can grow up happily all the way, and not be hurt by anyone or anything. ”

"In other words, will you keep this secret for me?" Jiang Mucheng's deep voice repeatedly asked her for confirmation.

"Well, yes. Shi Chuxi nodded with a straight face, "I don't need Mr. Jiang to say, I will keep this secret." ”

Jiang Mucheng got her personal assurance, took the coffee again and took a sip, his eyes were helpless, and he took the initiative to reveal some of Wu Qinyan's children's life experience: "She is a daughter of my friend, she was two years old. My friend's husband and wife were in a plane crash and their bodies were gone, and then the grandfather who was in charge of taking care of her died not long after he couldn't bear the blow, and she was completely orphaned, so I took on the role of a father. invited Chen's mother to come and take care of her, and this care has been taken care of until now. ”

Hearing him say this, Shi Chuxi pursed his lips in understanding, and at the same time put forward some opinions: "To be honest, I used to think that your father was quite incompetent, no matter how busy he was, it was impossible to travel outside all year round." If this is the reason, I can only say that since you have decided to play the role of a father, you should take the responsibility of being a father, if you are in Linhong City, you should take more time to see Xiao Qinyan, because she is really lonely alone. ”

Jiang Mucheng lowered his head, probably thinking about these words, and his tone was rare and sincere when he lifted his eyes: "Miss Shi is right, I will try to spend time with Xiao Qinyan more in the future." ”

He is so humble, Shi Chuxi is a little embarrassed, to put it bluntly, she is an outsider, at most she is a piano teacher, no matter how she is, she can't allow her to point fingers at other people's affairs.

"I'm sorry. Shi Chuxi took a sip of juice and couldn't help but stick out his tongue: "If there is something offended, please ignore the villain, I have no intention." ”

Jiang Mucheng was amused by her playful movements, her voice was still very cool, but there was a pleasure from the inside out: "No, Miss Shi is a temperamental, what to say, don't beat around the bush, I like it very much." ”

Of course, Chu Xi didn't really take this kind of polite words to heart, looked at her watch, she was about to get up and say goodbye, Jiang Mucheng followed and stood up: "I'll send you." ”

At this moment, suddenly a figure walked over quickly.

"Xixi. ”

When he heard this voice, Chu Xi's scalp was reflexively numb, the smile on his face froze, and he turned his head coldly to look at the sudden uninvited guest.

Xu Zhixian first walked towards her excitedly, and then stood next to the booth and suddenly noticed the tall and cold man opposite her, his eyes changed, and he was full of anger: "Xixi, why did you hook up with Jiang Mucheng again this time?"

"Xu Zhixian, can your mind not be so dirty?" Shi Chuxi really couldn't stand this ghostly man: "You can't take care of my affairs, why should you bother!"

Xu Zhixian finally met her, how could he be willing to leave at this time, grabbed her arm, and said with a dark face: "You come with me, I have something to tell you." ”

"Let it go!" Shi Chuxi struggled to pull out his arm, not wanting Jiang Mucheng to see the joke, pinned the hair on his cheeks behind his ears, walked up to him and whispered: "Mr. Jiang, I have something to deal with, you can go first." ”

Jiang Mucheng's deep gaze swept back and forth between her and Xu Zhixian, and his eyes were thoughtful, and he said, "I said that I would send you, so naturally I have to wait for you to go together." ”

Shi Chuxi clenched the bag in his hand tightly with his fingers, took a step forward towards Jiang Mucheng, and whispered in the voices of two people: "Thank you Mr. Jiang for your kindness, this is a little personal grudge of mine, I want to solve it myself, can I?"

Jiang Mucheng bowed his head, and his eyes that were not warm before leaving swept towards Xu Zhixian, "Deputy Director Xu, Miss Shi is a guest I invited, and I should send her back, if you have anything to solve here, I'll wait outside." ”

This sounds normal, but it seems meaningful when you look back on it, Jiang Mucheng is warning Xu Zhixian not to act rashly.

Xu Zhixian's face changed, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything after all.

Shi Chuxi found that Xu Zhixian dared to be presumptuous in front of Bo Yunshen last time, but today he seemed a lot more restrained in front of Jiang Mucheng, and seemed to be very jealous of Jiang Mucheng.

"Shi Chuxi, you are really good. Xu Zhixian stared at Jiang Mucheng's back as he left with jealousy, sat down on Jiang Mucheng's place angrily, looked up and said to her: "Just left one, and another one came, since you are so unwilling to be lonely, why don't you reconsider me?"

"Xu Zhixian!" Shi Chuxi was so angry that he wanted to beat someone, but he pressed his temper in front of the public and said, "Aren't you afraid that Tang Zixiao will hear this?"

"She?" Xu Zhixian chuckled: "Isn't it your masterpiece that she is disappearing now?" In order to snatch me back, he did not hesitate to do anything behind his back, Shi Chuxi, why didn't I feel that you loved me so much before. He paused, looked at her delicate face with light makeup and flawless makeup, and said, "But what I'm more curious about is who has such great ability behind the scenes, even the second miss of the Tang family dares to move." ”

Shi Chuxi didn't bother to pay attention to his self-inflicted affection, and his eyebrows frowned slightly: "Tell me clearly, what's wrong with Tang Zixiao, how could she be missing?"

Xu Zhixian didn't rush to answer. He glanced at the leftovers on the table, beckoned the waiter to remove it, and then calmly ordered a cup of coffee and a cappuccino for her.

Shi Chuxi resisted the urge to leave, and stood in place with his fists clenched: "Xu Zhixian, I don't have time to drink coffee with you here, if you don't say anything more, I'll leave." ”

"Xixi, I remember this is your favorite drink. Xu Zhixian held the coffee cup in his hand, but looked at the steaming cappuccino with eager eyes, and his handsome face was covered with a soft color: "Every time I used to pick you up for dance class, you asked me to bring you a cup of cappuccino, sometimes I forgot, and you would play a temper with me, so that later when I saw a cappuccino every day, I would think of you, your smiling face, and your pouting and cute ......"

"Xu Zhixian, can you make a face?" Shi Chuxi sneered and cut off his words, and said indifferently: "I didn't understand what I said that day, or you were deaf and didn't listen, you and I are strangers, and I don't need to remember, because those memories are disgusting." ”

Xu Zhixian seemed to have been poked into a sensitive nerve, and looked at her angrily: "Xixi, you can be angry with me and blame me for being engaged to Tang Zixiao, but you shouldn't question my feelings for you." ”

"Your feelings for me?" Shi Chuxi couldn't stop sneering: "Your feelings for me are that when the Shi family was prosperous, you were with me, and when the Shi family fell, you couldn't wait to dump me and find another backer?" Xu Zhixian, your feelings for me are really touching and touching!"

Xu Zhixian's face was cloudy, and he put the coffee cup on the table hard, "Xixi, you don't know anything at all, others can think of me like this, only you can't." ”

Shi Chuxi was too lazy to fight with him, so he raised his feet and left.

"Shi Chuxi, if you leave now, you will regret it in this life. ”

Shi Chuxi's footsteps didn't stop, Xu Zhixian chased after her, dragged her arm, and looked at Jiang Mucheng outside through the floor-to-ceiling window with scruples, breathing heavily. The voice was extremely low: "I mean really, Xixi, you believe me once, just this once." I have something important to tell you, it's about Uncle Shi. ”

She turned around and raised her eyes, looking at him in a daze, in his former words, they grew up together since childhood, they know each other, often one look and one expression can read each other's minds, she can see that he is not lying.

It's tea time. In the booth of the restaurant, there are customers sitting in twos and threes, and although they talk loudly, most of them only think that they are arguing between couples.

Shi Chuxi's long eyelashes moved, his fingers broke his hand, and he said coldly: "Okay, I'll give you five minutes." ”

Xu Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief, the two of them sat in their seats, the aroma of coffee wafted in the air, she didn't move the cappuccino, stared at somewhere on the table without moving, and said coldly: "Now you can say it." ”

"Xixi. I know that you are unwilling to let Uncle Shi go to prison, to be honest, I don't believe that Uncle Shi will be corrupt, he is in a high position, there is no need to take the risk of being greedy, unless someone sets him up. ”

"Down?" Shi Chuxi raised his eyes violently, stared at him tightly and asked, "To be specific, who set him up, his political enemies?"

She thought about the reason why her political enemies set her father, but it was a whole year since her father was taken away and after the sentence was announced. Dad refused to see her, and she couldn't find a way to ask for any clues.

Xu Zhixian didn't continue, lowered his head and turned the coffee cup in his hand, and smiled meaningfully: "I have one condition, as long as you promise me, I will tell you everything I know immediately." ”

Shi Chuxi was disgusted in her heart, but she held back, "What conditions?"

"I can use my connections to find a way to help you delete the posts on the Internet, but only if you and Bo Yunshen draw a line immediately, and the others run away, leaving a mess there. Such an irresponsible person, if you marry him, it will only delay your good youth. Xixi, you are obedient and obedient, I have arranged it for the Civil Affairs Bureau, as long as you nod and agree, I also have the ability to divorce your marriage and let you regain your freedom if you unilaterally agree. ”

"Finished?"

Xu Zhixian looked at her confidently, "I'm done, I'll give you a day to think about it, and you ...... tomorrow"

"It won't take a day for me to get back to you right now. Shi Chuxi smiled slowly, and his slender white fingers picked up the cappuccino in front of him.

Hot coffee instantly splashed on that handsome and smug face.

The picture seems to be still.

Xu Zhixian remained motionless. Coffee stains dripped from his hair, face, and shirt on his body, staining a large area of wetness.

After a while, he took a piece of paper and wiped his face in an orderly manner, the green tendons on his forehead were exposed, and his face was dark and cold as if it was going to rain.

"I was anxious to find out who had killed my dad and torn my family apart. Shi Chuxi suddenly put the empty cup on the corner of the table and looked at him coldly: "But Xu Zhixian, you are not qualified to threaten me with this matter, your Xu family can have today, not to mention 100%." At least half of it is the credit of my father who brought up his fellow villagers back then, and you said that there was an accident in the Shi family, and your Xu family was implicated, okay, I don't deny it, but you threaten me with my father's affairs today, you are ungrateful, and I will never do what you want! This is the answer after I think about it, are you still satisfied?"

The paper towel in Xu Zhixian's hand was completely soaked, and there were even coffee stains dripping down the drops, and his face was gloomy: "You will regret it." ”

"I don't regret it later, I don't know. I only know that if I promise you today, I will regret it. Shi Chuxi hooked her lips, threw down this sentence expressionlessly, and just stepped out of the booth, Xu Zhixian's voice came quickly: "You should know that Tang Zixiao has a dance troupe in her hand, and on the second day after you received your certificate, she took the dance troupe to participate in a performance abroad, and she disappeared on the night of the performance, and now the Tang family is so anxious that they are jumping to their feet, I speculate that this matter must be related to you." You tell me her whereabouts, and I'll tell you the clues to Shi Taiming's set, how about it?"

Tang Zixiao disappeared abroad?

No wonder I haven't been making waves lately.

Shi Chuxi paused, and soon tilted his head slightly, and smiled softly, "Don't rely on my head for everything, I don't have that much ability, since the Tang family can't find anything, do you still expect me to be a flat-headed ordinary person to find out people for you?" Director Xu, in my opinion, you are really in a hurry to ask for credit in front of the Tang family. ”

She didn't give him another chance to speak, and walked out of the restaurant at a hurry.

"At the beginning of the day, you stop. Xu Zhixian's tall figure stopped in front of her, and suddenly admitted his mistake in a soft voice: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have exchanged Uncle Shi's affairs with you, I'll tell you now, I once inadvertently got a clue at a dinner, Uncle Shi's downfall is very likely to be related to the pilgrimage group." ”

Shi Chuxi's breath was suffocated, and he reacted almost quickly: "How do you prove it?"

Xu Zhixian smiled bitterly and spread his hands and said: "I can't prove it, I didn't record it at that time, but I vouch for it with my personality, and that person's statement is credible." Because he is the second-in-command in the letter and visit bureau. ”

Oh, vouching for his personality, doesn't he know that his personality is worthless in front of her?

I wanted to threaten her for a while, and then I submitted a change of conditions, and finally suddenly told her a clue in a fake kindness.

Abrupt and false.

She wouldn't believe anything he said anymore.

Shi Chuxi's red lips tightened, and he bypassed him without saying a word.

After Tang Zixiao was kicked out of the division by Li Yun, in order to take a breath, he spent a lot of money to set up a dance troupe with a luxurious lineup of dancers.

But how could Tang Zixiao disappear?

There must be a lot of people sent out by the Tang family to check their whereabouts, why haven't they found any news so far?

Is it really related to her getting a certificate?

Is it Bo Yunshen's hand?

Think of the man. Her heart tugged like a tear.

Men's leather shoes with high-quality leather appeared in front of her, and there was a mist in her eyes, and she blinked vigorously before moving up the straight leg of the man's suit and trousers, and finally landed on Jiang Mucheng's cold face.

Jiang Mucheng's eyes silently swept over the tears in the corners of her eyes, didn't ask anything, and silently sent her all the way back to the door of the Tya Hotel.

Shi Chuxi was in a bad mood, and he didn't bother to be polite with him, nodded at him and turned to leave.

"Miss Shi. "Men have low voices.

She turned.

"As a reward for keeping a secret for you, I will grant you a wish, I can do whatever it is, what do you want?" Jiang Mucheng put his hands in the pockets of his trousers. The expression of saying this is very light, but the tone is heartwarming.

He should have seen that she was having a holiday with Xu Zhixian and wanted to help her, this man looked indifferent and cold, but he did things to make people feel good.

Shi Chuxi shook his head: "As you said, I really like Xiao Qinyan and hope that she can live happily, so I don't need you to fulfill any wishes for me, in that case, I won't have the face to teach her to play the piano in the future." ”

"Are you sure you don't want a wish? Maybe you're missing out on a hundred million. ”

She was stunned for a moment, only to hear that he was using Internet terminology to adjust the atmosphere seriously, so she smiled: "I'm sure." ”

Jiang Mucheng was not reluctant. He looked at her in silence for a moment, then nodded and turned to leave.

At a quarter past eight o'clock in the evening, Shi Chuxi left the hotel and played the piano all night, his ten fingers were stiff and numb, and he was almost unconscious.

Of course, it is gratifying to know that she took a lot of tips, in the words of the assistant manager, which is indeed much more than the commission she gets a month for doing a project in the marketing department.

In the past, she must have been very happy, but today she couldn't be happy, she had a lot of things in her heart, and the heaviest thing was Bo Yunshen's whereabouts.

Where the hell is he?

Is it true that he will never come back?

So what about their marriage?

Don't you count it too?

If this was the case, she wouldn't have pestered him, just say a word, but he didn't leave anything, only a big question mark for her.

What made her most uncomfortable was that before he left, he pressed her and asked her for the whole night, could it be that in his eyes, she was just a tool for him to vent his physical desires?

The cold night breeze blew on her face, her hair fluttered, she turned her face sideways, and a tear crossed the arc and disappeared into the thick night.

No matter how depressed it is, no matter how uncomfortable it is, life has to go on, after that, Shi Chuxi runs back and forth between the villa and the hotel every day, in addition to playing the piano or playing the piano.

If it weren't for the family change last year, she would have left for a more professional piano competition abroad on the third day of graduation, and in the words of her piano instructor Joseph, it would not be a problem to get a top three.

One after the other. Her performance was liked by many guests, and she received more and more tips, and the manager praised her for playing the piano well, and the daily tip was so high.

Shi Chuxi successfully sent Shi Yu's living expenses, but this time I don't know why, the kid didn't reply to the email, and the phone call was also a fussy saying that he was studying in the library.

She guessed that the kid might be in love.

Shi Chuxi tried to keep himself busy, so busy that he didn't have time to think about it, and time passed both quickly and slowly. It's been two weeks in the blink of an eye.

There is still no news about Bo Yunshen, and the voices in the hotel talking about him are becoming less and less heard.

Without him, the earth is turning, and the vice president sits in the position of general manager, although it is the temporary position of general manager, but it is also a spring breeze and a wish.

Sometimes she would suspect that the night with him was just a spring dream of herself, and even the two of them went to get the certificate by herself.

From the initial worry about his safety, to the later confusion, and then to the current discouragement and disappointment, her heart was a little cold and sank to the bottom of the thousand-year-old glacial lake.

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Shi Chuxi sat down in front of the piano on time to play.

Today's Tiya Grand Hotel restaurant is a bit different, full of flowers flown in, beautiful and romantic, because today is Qixi Festival, Valentine's Day in China.

As soon as it got dark, many couples who had booked their seats in advance came to enjoy dinner for two.
