At this time, Ning Shixiu was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, and Song Yi was standing not far behind him, reporting to him all the news about Lin Yiyi:
"Ms. Lin was released from prison early yesterday, and Mr. Lu has just left after waiting at the prison gate for a day. ”
Ning Shixiu didn't respond to anything, or even make any moves, as if the news in Song Yi's mouth didn't mean anything to him, but was that really the case?
Song Yi had been waiting for Ning Shixiu's response and what he wanted to do next, but he didn't, he spent a long time in silence, because it was because he was facing back, Song Yi couldn't explore his true emotions.
Just when Song Yi thought that Ning Shixiu would not respond to him on this matter, he suddenly spoke:
"Any idea where she went?"
"There's no news yet, but it shouldn't have left the deep city. ”
Ning Shixiu chuckled:
"She's not leaving. ”
Song Yi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ning Shixiu's voice, intercepting all his voices, and said:
"It's not early, you get off work. ”
"I'll send you back. ”
"Not necessarily. Ning Shixiu rejected his proposal: "I'll stay by myself for a while." ”
Song Yi was silent for a few seconds, but after all, he didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
The silence in the huge office was restored, and Ning Shixiu remembered the moment he first saw Lin Yiyi at such a moment, she was wearing a black leather jacket and leather pants, looking quite improper, his first impression of her was really bad, and he never thought that he would have anything to do with such a girl.
It's just that the world is unpredictable, he married her, fell in love with her, hurt her, and waited for her, and he can't forget her until now.
On the day Lin Yiyi was imprisoned, he had chased after her and made a five-year promise to her, and when he said that sentence, he had already relieved all the things Lin Yiyi had done, he didn't care about what she did to Shen Jing and his mother, and the five-year prison sentence was enough to offset everything.
He even regretted conniving at Ning Rourou's harm to her, but it was too late.
He didn't lie, he was indeed waiting, he hadn't changed his original intention for three years, but God favored him, he didn't have to wait for five years, she was released from prison early, but she didn't know where to go.
She won't leave the deep city, Ning Shixiu is so sure, but looking at the deep city, there are not many places where she can stay, and the most likely places to go are only a few, Ning Shixiu has the urge to find it immediately, but she is not sure if it is a good time to meet now.
Compared to Ning Shixiu's uncertainty, Lu Li didn't hesitate for a minute, he didn't take the initiative to look for it, she chose to avoid herself in this way, she must have her thoughts, he really shouldn't bother too much, after all, three years of confinement, what kind of experience Yu Lin Yiyi had, no one could predict.
He won't force her, he gives her enough time to adjust herself, and when she is confident enough to face herself, Lu Li believes that she will come to her, but this belief Lu Li feels that she can't last long.
For a week, Lu Li agreed in his heart to give her a week, if she still refuses to take the initiative to see him at that time, then he will dig her out of the deep city even if he digs three feet into the ground.
When Lu Li returned to the apartment, he saw Lu Yuan at the door, he stood at the door leisurely, it seemed that he had been waiting for himself for a short time, Lu Li stood still in place for a while, until Lu Yuan felt his gaze looking up and then took a new step and walked over:
"Why are you here?"
"Can't I come?"
Lu Li didn't speak again, directly pressed the password, opened the door and let him in.
When he was standing at the bar and pouring himself water to drink, Lu Yuan sat down on the sofa and said, "A cup of coffee, thank you." ”
Lu Li glanced at him lightly, drank the water directly, and didn't want to care, in the past three years since he came back to the Lu family, Lu Yuan always wanted to get close to him, intentionally or unintentionally, Lu Li understood that he wanted to use this way to ease the relationship between his brothers, but Lu Li was not adaptable.
Even though he hasn't lived alone for so many years, he has long been unaccustomed to family affection.
But Lu Yuan's request, Lu Li did not refuse in the end, although he was reluctant, he finally made him coffee, brought it to him and put it in front of him, Lu Yuan looked up at him:
"I heard that you canceled Yu Rongtai's acquisition meeting today?"
Lu Li originally wanted to let Lu Yuan sit here and go directly to rest by himself, waiting all day, whether it was his heart or his whole body clamouring to be tired, but he also understood Lu Yuan's words, he didn't come here today to talk about this morning's meeting, nor to cultivate brotherly feelings, he was for Lin Yiyi.
"Questions?" Lu Li sat down across from him.
"No, Rongtai's acquisition is only a matter of time, not today but tomorrow, you should know what I want to talk to you about. ”
"I remember we talked about it three years ago. ”
Lu Yuan withdrew his gaze from Lu Li's face, landed on the cup of hot coffee in front of him, and smiled faintly:
"You've worked so hard to prove yourself in the past three years, all for her?"
"Yes. ”
"If it weren't for protecting her, you wouldn't have come back to the Lu Clan?"
Lu Li chuckled:
"Do you think the Lu clan has the value of my existence?"
"You are now the general manager of the Lu family. ”
"So what?" Lu Li asked lightly: "What I want has never been fame and fortune. ”
Yes, Lu Yuan knows this younger brother of his, he has always looked at these things outside his body very lightly, and he has never looked at them more, maybe it is for this reason that he is willing to let him come back to the Lu family, people are selfish, and Lu Yuan is no exception.
Lu Yuan took a sip of coffee:
"She's out of jail?"
Lu Li looked at him:
"What the hell do you want to say? Let me keep my distance from Lin Yiyi? If that's the case, then you don't have to sit here and waste time with me, I won't do this, I won't listen to you, you can bring back Midsummer from Fengyue Field at the beginning, and marry her against her wishes, and now you are not qualified to say anything about the matter between me and Lin Yiyi. ”
Lu Yuan looked at him quietly, and all his words were blocked back by his understatement.
Indeed, he has no qualifications to interfere with Lu Li's private feelings, he himself has made a relatively wrong demonstration, but Lu Li is different, Lin Yiyi is not an ordinary person, there is also a Ning Shixiu between them, what kind of result Lu Li's feelings will be in the end, Lu Yuan can almost see it at a glance.
"I'm just worried about you. ”
"Not necessarily. Lu Li said lightly: "I heard that Midsummer recently moved out of the villa, the two of you are currently separated, if you have the energy, you should take care of yourself first, my affairs, no matter what the final result is, I will not regret the choice at this moment, because I don't want to wait for the old age when life is not satisfactory to remember the past only in vain 'what if'." ”
Lu Yuan smiled slightly:
"Actually, you don't have to be so defensive of me, I didn't mean to keep you away from Lin Yiyi, I said back then, as long as she is not Ning Shixiu's wife, no matter what kind of past she has, as long as you like me, I will accept it, our Lu family, don't care about other people's eyes, I just hope you can be happy." ”
Lu Li looked at him and didn't speak.
"If you can get together with her in the end, I will naturally be happy to see it, but I still have to remind you that there is still a Ning Shixiu between you and her, whether it is grievances or feelings between them, you can't compare, you have to leave room for yourself in everything, if the result is not what you want, it will not hit too hard. ”
——
At this time, Ning Shixiu drove alone to the villa in the south of the city, there was no light inside, and it was as if no one had patronized it at all, but Ning Shixiu was very sure that there was a light in this darkness that attracted him.
He actually didn't know what Lin Yiyi was thinking at this time, why didn't he contact Lu Li, why he was here alone, and why he let the night surround him? He also thought about ringing the doorbell directly to take a look at her, but such an idea was vetoed by himself after all.
I have fantasized about reuniting countless times, but none of them want to force her and be forced to accept the encounter with herself.
Ning Shixiu got out of the car, quietly leaned on the side of the car and lit a cigarette, when the nicotine taste entered his mouth, he suddenly felt a gaze fall on him, looked up, the villa in front of him was still pitch black, he looked around and locked his eyes on the window in the middle of the second floor.
In fact, it was a very unreasonable thing, but Ning Shixiu was very sure at this time, and that gaze came from there.
Ning Shixiu couldn't see the other party, but he knew that he was already in the eyes of the other party at this time, and this cognition also made his blood boil inexplicably, especially knowing who the other party was, the urge to ring the doorbell seemed to control reason, he took a puff of cigarette fiercely and suppressed it alive.
Even though he had been preparing for three years and had thought about it thousands of times, there was nothing to be afraid of, but Lin Yiyi had just come out of prison, and his mood and body needed a transition period, and he really couldn't disturb her at this time.
Sometimes people's feelings are really strange, even though Ning Shixiu couldn't see the picture behind the darkness, but after a few minutes, he clearly felt that the gaze didn't exist, and Lin Yiyi left the window one by one.
What was she thinking when she looked at herself? Ning Shixiu wanted to know the answer.
Is it resentment? or calm?
Yes, he is no longer extravagant in courting.
At one o'clock in the morning, Ning Shixiu drove away, and on the way back, he met a small vendor riding a tricycle who had just closed the stall at a red light, and the tables and chairs placed in the back scratched Ning Shixiu's car, and he was forced to stop, and the small trader was also startled, and hurriedly got out of the car to check, and when he saw Ning Shixiu's car mark, he almost collapsed to the ground.
Ning Shixiu pushed the car door and walked around the body, and saw that the scratch that was more than a foot long had no special emotion, and before the small trader spoke, he said loudly:
"It's okay, be careful next time. ”
The small trader thought that he had misheard, and just wanted to talk about compensation, but Ning Shixiu had already re-got into the car, turned the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator and left, leaving a small trader who seemed to have had a dream.
