Chapter 10: Ambiguity

Recently, Francis has been working a lot, sleeping no more than four hours a day. On a rare day off, he slept until near noon before getting up. I went downstairs to make a pot of coffee, and was just about to drink it when the phone in my trouser pocket rang.

He picked up his coffee and went to the living room, sat on the sofa, took out his mobile phone and looked at it, it was an unfamiliar number.

He has no plans to take it, presumably some advertising and sales pitch or something. Put your phone on the coffee table and drink your coffee slowly. The phone finally stopped, and after a while it rang tenaciously again.

Fang Jidong put down the coffee in his hand and picked it up unhappily.

"Big brother?" a beautiful female voice came out of the earpiece.

Fang Jidong frowned slightly, his voice was a little familiar, but he didn't remember it for a while, probably he slept a little too much today. He was silent, waiting for the other to speak.

The other side seemed to hesitate, and muttered in a low voice: "It's obviously clear, why doesn't anyone speak?"

"Is it Francis's number?"

"Yes. Francis replied lightly.

The girl smiled, "I'm Shen Yuxi." ”

Fang Jidong held the mobile phone with one hand, and gently tapped on the armrest of the sofa with the other, he seemed to be in a good mood, and the corners of his mouth hooked: "Oh, it's you, something?"

Shen Yuxi snorted, and then said, "I'm at the door of Shanglin Mansion now, I'm here to get the bracelet, but the security uncle won't let me in." ”

Shanglin Mansion is a high-end community, the access management is very strict, strangers can't enter, Shen Yuxi was stopped as soon as he arrived at the door, reported Fang Jidong's name, and was suspected of being those Yingying Yanyan who pestered him. Probably he was pestered by girls, and the security guards looked at her with some disdain.

Shen Yuxi looked embarrassed and had no choice but to call Fang Jidong.

Fang Jidong pondered for a moment, "You give your phone to the security guard." ”

The security guard looked at the mobile phone handed over and took it hesitantly, Fang Jidong didn't know what he said, he said a few yes in a row, and then respectfully returned the phone to Yuxi, and let him go without saying anything more.

Before he finished his cup of coffee, the doorbell rang. He got up and opened the door, and the language outside the door, with a playful ball head, a white shirt with denim overalls, a youthful taste, looked like a teenager.

Fang Jidong's eyes darkened slightly, and he inexplicably remembered Su Zhi's words: There is also a certain gap between the two of you in terms of age. Do the math, he is a big one.

Shen Yuxi entered the door, and a room full of coffee aromas. Fang Jidong closed the door behind him, walked in and asked, "What do you want to drink? I just made coffee, let's have a cup!"

Shen Yuxi waved his hand: "Thank you, no, no need." ”

Fang Jidong didn't pay attention to her answer, went to the kitchen by himself, and after a while, he walked to the sofa and sat down with a white ceramic cup, and said to Shen Yuxi: "Come and sit." ”

Shen Yuxi sighed, sat down on the sofa on the side, Fang Jidong handed her the coffee, and said, "Try it." ”

Yuxi took a sip of the cup, a strong bitter taste permeated the tip of her tongue, she couldn't help frowning and sticking out her tongue, Fang Jidong chuckled lightly on the side: "What's the matter?"

Shen Yuxi was a little embarrassed, nodded slightly, and put the cup on the coffee table in front of him, "I have never drunk such bitter coffee, I have only drunk instant." ”

Fang Jidong smiled, "I'll change a glass of juice for you." As he said that, he was about to get up, Yu Xi hurriedly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, felt that it was inappropriate, and immediately let go, "No need, no need to bother, I'm just here to get the bracelet." ”

Fang Jidong stood up, said 'follow me,' and walked upstairs. Yuxi followed behind Fang Jidong and explained: "Originally, Su Zhi was coming, but she had something to do temporarily, so I came." ”

Fang Jidong walked in front and hummed lowly, and Yuxi continued: "I don't know if it will disturb you?"

Fang Jidong suddenly stopped in front, and he almost bumped into it. Fang Jidong looked back at her for a moment before saying, "No interruption." ”

When I arrived at a room, it should be Francis's bedroom, and the decoration inside was the same decoration style as the whole room, simple but not simple, clean and tidy.

Francis took out a wallet from the bedside table, opened it, and took out the bracelet. Walked up to Shen Yuxi's side, "Hand." ”

"Huh?" Shen Yuxi didn't know why.

"Reach out. ”

Shen Yuxi obediently stretched out his hand, and Fang Jidong brought the bracelet to her. Shen Yuxi was standing in front of him, her head only reaching his chin, and he could smell the shampoo on her head when he looked down.

She looked at the bracelet she wore on her wrist, and her eyes sparkled. Francis asked, "This bracelet is very valuable?"

Her expression changed slightly, and she was stunned for a moment and said, "It's not very valuable, but my mother gave it to me." ”

Seeing that Yuxi's face was not very good, Fang Jidong probably touched some not-so-good memories of her, and changed the subject, "Have you had lunch?"

Shen Yuxi shook his head, and Fang Jidong said, "Then let's eat together." ”

She just wanted to refuse, but Fang Jidong said again: "Don't you go back and eat alone, so why don't you go together?"

Yuxi was powerless to refute that she would stay and have lunch with Francis. She was now sitting at the table, hammering her head with a look of chagrin.

Francis, who was busy in the kitchen, also refused her help. I didn't expect a big boss like Fang Jidong to cook by himself. She looked at the tall and majestic figure, and couldn't help but sigh that good-looking people are pleasing to the eye in everything they do.

Shen Yuxi was staring at Fang Jidong's origin, he didn't know when he came over with a plate, and he was looking at her with a smile.

"Is there anything in me? ”

Shen Yuxi was arrested, his face turned red, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to laugh dryly.

Francis puts the plate on the table, which is served with fried steak and spaghetti bolognese. Fang Jidong put down the sleeve that was wrapped in his elbow and handed it to Shen Yuxi, "I don't know if you like Western food? There are no ingredients at home, only pasta and steak, can you taste it, is it to your liking?"

Shen Yuxi picked up the fork and tasted the meat sauce noodles, the rich meat aroma stimulated the taste buds. Shen Yuxi couldn't help but nodded, "It's delicious." ”

Fang Jidong smiled, "If you like it, it's fine." While lowering his head, he elegantly cut the steak in front of him, and after a while, he pushed the cut steak in front of Shen Yuxi, took Shen Yuxi's plate away, and ate it slowly.

Shen Yuxi watched his series of movements and swallowed his saliva, "Actually, I can cut it myself." ”

"Hmm. He just mumbled and stopped talking.

Shen Yuxi was speechless, so he had to eat the plate of steak that was cut in front of him, the steak was fried to medium-rare, and it was thinly cut into long strips, the beef was very tender, and it was fragrant in the mouth.

After eating the meal silently, Shen Yuxi maintained a high level of nervousness, she felt that Fang Jidong was weird, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

After eating, Shen Yuxi wanted to clean up the tableware, but Fang Jidong stopped him, "There is a dishwasher, you don't have to bother, you go to the living room to rest first." ”

Shen Yuxi went to the living room at a loss and entered the kitchen. After a while, the doorbell rang suddenly, and Shen Yuxi was startled, not knowing who it would be? What if it was his girlfriend? Will she be misunderstood? After countless questions in his mind, he only heard Fang Jidong shouting in the kitchen: "Yuxi, help open the door." ”

Yuxi stood up in surprise, "Me?"

Fang Jidong didn't answer, she walked to the door tremblingly, and just opened the door, before she saw anyone, she heard say: "I said that you are not a golden house hidden Jiao, why do you open the door so slowly?"

When Lu Yuan saw Shen Yuxi in the door, he screamed, making Shen Yuxi tremble.

Lu Yuan twisted his eyebrows and stared at Shen Yuxi for a while, seeing that Shen Yuxi only had hairs in his heart.

"Who are you? Why haven't I seen Brother Dong?"

Shen Yuxi didn't know how to answer a series of questions, so he had to point to the kitchen, "He's busy." ”

Lu Yuan walked towards the kitchen full of doubts, and as soon as he arrived at the door, Fang Jidong came out with a glass of juice, saw Lu Yuan, frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Lu Yuan smiled, "I'm not coming, can I find such an exciting thing?" said and looked at Shen Yuxi with a malicious smile, and then looked at Fang Jidong, "Brother Dong, don't you want to introduce me?"

Shen Yuxi was a little embarrassed, as if he had been caught doing something bad, and looked at the ground with his eyes down.

Fang Jidong kicked Lu Yuan lightly, walked over to Yuxi, and handed her the juice. With an impatient face, he turned back to Lu Yuan and said, "If you have something, just say it." ”

Lu Yuan regained his serious expression and raised the folder in his hand: "About the land in the west of the city." ”

Fang Jidong pondered for a moment: "Go upstairs and talk." ”

Shen Yuxi put the juice on the table, "If you want to talk about things, then I'll leave first." ”

Fang Jidong thought for a moment and said, "The conversation will be over soon, you wait here for a while, and I'll send you back." ”

Shen Yuxi hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, I can go by myself." ”

Fang Jidong said in a deep voice: "Obedient." ”

Shen Yuxi sat on the sofa bored, and a glass of juice had been drunk by her. She couldn't figure out why she was shocked by Fang Jidong's 'obedient' words, why she would stay here obediently and wait for him? Today was really a confusing day.

In the study, Lu Yuan spread out the documents in his hand to Fang Jidong, "The piece of land in the west of the city was originally speculated to more than a billion yuan, and now the price for us is 800 million, which is almost half lower, and it is already sold at a low price." ”

Fang Jidong picked up a cigarette from the desk and lit it, took a puff and said, "How did Liu Xiangyu keep the price so low?"

Lu Yuan sat aside, crossed his legs and said: "After all, he has been in his circle for several years, and he has his own connections and methods, as for what methods he used, I don't know very well at present." What, you think there's going to be a problem?"

After thinking for a while, Fang Jidong spoke, "It's not that there is a problem, I just think this person is not simple." Tomorrow, I'll take it back to the company and let the in-house counsel take a look at it and make a decision. ”

"Of course, care is the thing. ”

After the matter was discussed, Lu Yuan's curiosity finally couldn't be suppressed, "The girl downstairs, don't you explain?"

Fang Jidong glanced at Lu Yuan and smiled coldly: "Did I explain it to you?"

"Don't mind, my sister-in-law has taken her home, and I don't even know my buddies yet, which is not true. ”

Sister-in-law, Fang Jidong put out the cigarette in the ashtray with a black line on his face, and said lightly: "I don't need you to know him." ”

Lu Yuan was speechless, scratching his head, "Brother Dong, don't you want to guard against me?"

Fang Jidong stood up and gave the eviction order, "Kneel down, I want to change my clothes." ”

Lu Yuan twitched the corners of his mouth, "Yes, you cross the river and tear down the bridge again, just talk about it, let my brother and I have fun with you." ”

Fang Jidong ignored him, walked out of the study directly, and entered the bedroom.

Lu Yuan went downstairs alone, and Yuxi was sitting on the sofa, playing with his mobile phone with his head down. Lu Yuan walked over and patted him lightly on the shoulder, she was startled, and turned around to see Lu Yuan smiling at her.

Shen Yuxi put away his phone and smiled politely.

Lu Yuan sat on the sofa on the other side, and asked in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Then my name is Lu Yuan, and I am Brother Dong's good buddy." May I ask you, how long have you known Dongge?"

Shen Yuxi thought about it seriously, "It didn't take long, this should be the fourth time we met. ”

"Hold the grass!" Lu Yuan's eyes widened, he only met a few times, and then brought home, which is rare.

Lu Yuan's gossip heart burned, "Are you a student? ”

Shen Yuxi smiled, "I just graduated and am doing an internship now. ”

Lu Yuan continued to ask: "Oh, you are interning in Dongge's company?" He probably understood the direction of the story, Fang Jidong fell in love with the company's new young and beautiful intern, so he got close to the water and won the little intern with Fang Jidong's charm, which was effortless.

"No, I did an internship at another company. ”

Lu Yuan was a little surprised, he didn't intern at Fang Jidong's company, "Then there is cooperation between your companies?"

Shen Yuxi thought seriously for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know, I'm an intern, and I don't know much about the company's customers. ”

Lu Yuan became curious, "Then how did you meet?"

Shen Yuxi didn't understand why Lu Yuan asked her so many questions, but she still answered very seriously, "When my friend met on his birthday, he met and met." ”

Lu Yuan looked at Shen Yuxi carefully, and became more and more interested in her. At any cocktail party or birthday party, Fang Jidong rarely takes a fancy to any woman, and even if he does, he never brings it home. This is really the first time to bring home, you know, since Song Qing, no woman has been brought home.

Lu Yuan looked upstairs, Fang Jidong hadn't gone downstairs yet, he lowered his voice and asked, "Sister, where have you and Brother Dong developed?"

"What?" Shen Yuxi didn't seem to understand, and asked rhetorically.

"I'm asking you and Brother Dong how far have you go?"

Shen Yuxi reacted, knowing that Lu Yuan had misunderstood, she hurriedly shook her head and explained, "No, no, you misunderstood, we are not the kind of relationship you think." We're just ...... Well...... Friend. She wasn't sure because she didn't know if it was a friend.

Because she hesitated to answer, Lu Yuan let out a meaningful sigh, not believing her words at all.

Shen Yuxi reluctantly continued: "We really don't have anything, I have something left here, and I came here to get it today." ”

Lu Yuan suddenly seemed to hear something terrible, and his eyes were about to pop out, "It's not the first time you've come, you live together?"

Shen Yuxi's eyes widened, what did she say that they lived together?" "It's not like that, something happened one night, and we slept here......"

"Oh, have you already slept?" was interrupted by Lu Yuan before he finished speaking, and concluded that they slept.

Shen Yuxi finally understood what it meant to get darker and darker, and she was almost crazy with her head in her hands. Lu Yuan's brain circuit is really Qingqi, how can he understand that she and Fang Jidong are together?

Shen Yuxi looked at Lu Yuan's appearance and felt that he couldn't explain it, so he simply shut up.

Lu Yuan saw that she refused to speak, and felt that he probably acquiesced, and he was thinking about how to tell those buddies about this earth-shattering gossip.

Fang Jidong changed his clothes, came down from upstairs, saw that Lu Yuan was still there, walked to the sofa and kicked him, and asked expressionlessly, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Lu Yuan jumped up with a grin, and said without any form: "I'll leave now, you do what you have to do, don't hinder your eyes, I still have this bit of eyesight." ”

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Shen Yuxi's face turned red, and she looked at Fang Jidong with a red face, expecting him to explain well.

It's just that Fang Jidong didn't say anything, glared at Lu Yuan, and said to Lu Yuan lightly: "Get out!"

Lu Yuan walked happily, as soon as he walked out of the door, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and as soon as he connected it, he said to the phone: "I'll tell you, Brother Dong, he ......"

Shen Yuxi, who was in the room, looked at a casual outfit, with his hands in his trouser pockets, and his long body, suddenly became nervous. Fang Jidong always gave her a sense of oppression, maybe he was too aggressive, as long as he had a slightly commanding tone, Shen Yuxi would always involuntarily do it.

She lowered her head, clasped her hands, was silent for a while, and said, "Your friend seems to have misunderstood, why don't you explain?"

Fang Jidong's deep black eyes looked at her for a moment, and he didn't speak, Shen Yuxi was even more nervous, and she felt that her legs were trembling.

After a long time, he looked away and answered her question lightly: "There is no need. ”

"But ......"

"You're not going home, let's go, I'll send you." Fang Jidong interrupted what Shen Yuxi was about to say, and walked towards the door with long legs.

Shen Yuxi was helpless, so he had to follow quickly.

Along the way, Shen Yuxi leaned against the car window, looking at the scenery flashing outside the window, silent. She felt that it was not a wise decision to go to Francis' house today. Lu Yuan misunderstood the relationship between her and Fang Jidong, and Fang Jidong's attitude was incomprehensible, and her eyes were strange. She sighed in her heart, she knew that she shouldn't have come, after all, she and Fang Jidong really didn't know each other.

While driving, Fang Jidong looked at Shen Yuxi with his spare eyes, holding his face and looking out of the window seriously, his brows furrowed from time to time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Passing by a red light intersection, Fang Jidong stopped the car steadily, tapped his fingers lightly on the steering wheel, and suddenly spoke: "Lu Yuan's misunderstanding bothered you very much?"

Shen Yuxi looked at the red light in front of her, silently counting the seconds, and was interrupted by Fang Jidong's question, she was slightly stunned, and said later: "It's better to explain clearly if there is a misunderstanding, otherwise it will feel weird." ”

Fang Jidong was silent for a moment, "You have to believe that the pure will clear itself." ”

Shen Yuxi sighed, "That's what I said, but ...... Alas, forget it, Lu Yuan's brain circuits are strange, and they may not be explained clearly. ”

Fang Jidong suddenly laughed, "You are the first person to describe him like that. "Lu Yuan is usually decisive and has a superb IQ, I don't know how many big and important cases have been solved, but now that he is evaluated as a brain circuit, I don't know what kind of reaction he will have when he hears it?

Shen Yuxi looked at Fang Jidong, who suddenly laughed, thinking that he had said the wrong thing, and asked curiously: "Isn't he like this? ”

Fang Jidong darkened slightly, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did you say to make him understand wrong?"

"I don't know, you asked him. How could Shen Yuxi describe Lu Yuan's words, it was enough for her to be entangled.

The lights in front of him finally turned green, Fang Jidong started the car, and said: "Actually, you don't need to explain to him, as a policeman, he can still judge the meaning of your words." ”

Shen Yuxi was stunned for a moment, "You said he was a policeman?"

"What?

Shen Yuxi shook his head and thought for a while before saying, "He looks fierce and a little unserious." ”

Fang Jidong laughed again, and Shen Yuxi's evaluation of Lu Yuan completely pleased him. However, he still opened his mouth to explain for Lu Yuan: "He just looks fierce, he is still a good person, he is very famous in the police world, and he has solved many cases." ”

Shen Yuxi thought to herself that she was really unseemly, and she thought that Lu Yuan was a gangster, which made her impressed.
