It was early in the morning, it was quiet, and I didn't knock very hard. It was almost five minutes before the bean bag's crying grew louder and louder, and the door was impatiently pulled open from inside.

Grandma Doubao was dressed neatly, looked at me and said, "Tao Ran, it's not dawn in the morning, you knock on the door like this, what do you mean? I can still sell the bean bun." ”

"Doubao never left me, and I was worried about him. I said and bypassed her and went straight into the yard.

Gu Yixiao didn't come in, and stood at the gate of the courtyard waiting for me.

When Doubao heard my voice, he ran out of the house barefoot, came to me a few steps, threw himself into my arms with tears, choked up and called out to his mother, and cried.

"Doubao doesn't cry, mom is here. "I picked him up from the ground and walked straight outside.

Grandma Doubao stopped me and said, "Tao Ran, why are you becoming more and more rude now." Take the child away without even saying a word to me?"

"Did you say hello to me when you came back with a bean bag?" I asked her.

Grandma Doubao's face was not good, and she wanted to say something, but I walked outside the gate without waiting for her to speak, and said to Gu Yixiao: "Smile, drive away." ”

Doubao stopped crying, lay quietly on my face, put his head on my shoulder, and said to grandma: "Goodbye, grandma." ”

Gu Yixiao reversed and turned around, and then drove away from this small courtyard that I was familiar with.

The sun hadn't come out yet, and the sky was already starting to brighten. I saw in the rearview mirror, Grandma Doubao was standing at the gate of the courtyard, her face full of haze.

This world has always been like this, as long as you don't move other people's bottom lines, everything is fine. Once you cross that line, you don't have to worry about it at all. Grandma Doubao is like this, Si Jianlian is the same, and I am not the same.

Doubao lay on my shoulder and said in a small voice: "Mom, I will never go with anyone else in the future." ”

I was relieved that he could say that, because in his heart, everyone but me was someone else.

"Doubao, there was some problem between mom and dad, so it affected you. However, when this is settled, they will still be your grandparents and dads, and you can still see them regularly. "I patiently explained to the bean bag.

Although I hate Si Jianlian, I can understand what his parents are doing, they just want to keep their children by their side. However, in doing so, they completely ignored my feelings and treated me like air. I understand that does not mean that I will allow them to do so.

If we don't have children between us, it's okay to die old and die after divorce. Because I have children, I will definitely have a joint after the divorce, so I can't say a lot of things in front of my children. Taking a step back, I don't want to try not to say so many negative things in front of him because my marriage is not going well and affects my children.

Gu Yixiao conjured up a can of potato chips from the front seat and handed it to the bean bag and said, "Are you hungry?" ”

Doubao shook his head, put the potato chips in my hand, and whispered, "Mom, I want to sleep." ”

"Mom hug, you sleep well. "I beat him and held him in my arms.

Within five minutes, the bean bag fell asleep. I looked at the tears on the child's face, and I was so distressed. This is the baby I brought up little by little from fifty centimeters, and I have never been willing to let him cry, or even say a word, what was it like to cry last night.

Actually, Si Jianlian is right about one thing, I spoil bean bags very much.

I looked at the bean buns, and my eyes were a little red.

Gu Yixiao didn't look back, looked at the reversing mirror and said to me: "I'll hit a hotel first, we all need to rest, I don't plan to drive it myself when I go back to Beijing, let's find a substitute driver." ”

I had a problem with the word "substitute driver", and I didn't agree right away.

"With me here, it's broad daylight, don't worry. Gu smiled and said soothingly.

Either way, the most important thing now is to find a place to rest. We walked along the main road for a while, and when we saw an express hotel, we parked our car and opened our room.

Gu Yixiao sent me and Doubao back to the room, and he yawned and went back to the room to sleep.

I didn't sleep well this night, and I woke up once every ten minutes, for fear that the bean bag would be gone when I woke up.

We rested in Suzhou for a day and a night, and returned to Beijing early the next morning. Gu Yixiao found a substitute driver, and our way back was much easier. Bean Bao is a child, sad things do not stay overnight, watching cartoons on the phone in the car, smiling happily.

After returning to Beijing, I let Doubao take a day off and then go to kindergarten, only one day before the weekend.

The person who was caught by the police has not confessed yet, and he insists that he is here for money. Gu Yixiao was not in a hurry, and he called me on Friday night to say that he had found out the details of the bank transactions of the two.

I was telling a bedtime story to Doubao, and when I heard it, I sat up straight and asked, "How is it?"

"The suspicion is big. Gu Yixiao said and sent a picture, I opened WeChat and took a look, there are a few lines of very clear funds on it, the top and bottom are small, probably ranging from thousands to hundreds, but there is a large amount in the middle, and it is an integer, 100,000 yuan.

"Did the sender find it?" I asked.

He smiled wryly on the other end of the phone: "Sister, have you used me as an FBI? If I had that efficiency, what kind of lawyer would I be, and I would have made a fortune doing this." ”

"I'm a little anxious, can you give this to the police now so that they can explain the source of the funds?" I asked.

"It's stupid and naïve. Gu Yi said with a smile.

Even though it was just a phone call, I couldn't see his expression, and I could feel it, and he was shaking his head as he spoke, because the tone couldn't be hidden.

His doting gesture made my heart move, and I immediately made my voice serious: "I'll think of a way." ”

"Dealing with the relevant departments, you are still a little tender, I'll come. Now the plan is going on as usual, and you are responsible for putting public opinion pressure on KB's overseas market, which is your home field. The trivial matter of the evidence here, Zhu and I will do it. Of course, Senior Brother Zhu Tong should have figured out Dong Xiaoyuan's situation by now. Gu Yi said with a smile.

He was talking about our original plan. In the past two days, because of the bean bag incident, I was very confused and failed to act as planned.

Now that he said that, I felt a little derelict in my duty and said to him, "Okay, I've already sent an email to a few classmates in the United States, I'll see the reply later." ”

Gu Yixiao listened to me, paused and said, "The next thing is your home field, I think you may be too busy to take care of the children, I found you a gold medal aunt who is very experienced in taking care of children, do you want to have an interview?"

I mentioned it to him once, but I didn't expect him to take it to heart.

"Thanks, then will you ask if it will be convenient tomorrow?" I asked.

"Tomorrow if you have time, it's 10 a.m. at the housekeeping service center on my street. This is run by the community, reliable and guaranteed, but the price is a bit high. Gu Yi said with a smile.

Hanging up Gu Yixiao's phone, I opened the mailbox and saw the letters sent by my classmates. To be honest, I was very touched to see everyone replying to me. After so many years of not being in touch, I actually remember who I am when I send an email.

I didn't say anything in the email, I just said that I might have to go over recently to do some business. They all thought that I was going to refinance KB, and they enthusiastically introduced the current situation of the investment market there.

The aunt introduced by Gu Yixiao is very young, forty-eight years old this year, with a young face and generous gestures. As soon as I asked, I found out that her family lived near Gu Yixiao's house, and she was an acquaintance with Gu Yixiao. The aunt's name is Wang Yinghua, her husband died eight years ago, and the child is not coming back from college now, so she is looking for this job to pass the time and earn some money by the way.

I was very satisfied with this aunt and decided to ask for it on the spot.

In order to familiarize Doubao with my aunt as soon as possible, I arranged a playground activity on the weekend and asked my aunt to follow us. Doubao is introverted, I thought it would take a long time for him to play with Aunt Wang, but I didn't expect it to be mixed that day, and I was somewhat relieved.

The week went pretty well, and everything was slowly starting to look good. On Wednesday, my best friend from my college dorm, Zhou Lingshuang, called me and asked when I was going to go.

I was surprised to receive her call, because they were busy for a long time and didn't contact each other.

"It's uncertain, but it shouldn't be long. I said, "What about you, how are you doing?"

She smiled wryly and said, "See what you asked?"

"What's wrong? hurt by love?" I asked as soon as I heard her tone.

"Not really. She said.

Zhou Lingshuang is a typical feminist, who made up her mind not to marry or have children. A year ago, I knew that her last news was that she was still single. However, her success in her career is there for all to see. After graduating, she joined a scientific institute and is now working on a project to find a cancer vaccine from the perspective of genetics. It is said that there has been a major breakthrough.

"What's going on?" I asked, "Is it convenient to say?"

"You're the founder of KB, do me a favor. Zhou Lingshuang said on the other end of the phone.

We lived in a dormitory for four years and had a good relationship, the kind of friend who didn't have to greet us even if we didn't have contact for a long time.

"Say, if I can do it. "I made a promise to her.

"I seem to be in love with one. "I feel like I'm poisoned, and I can't help but think of him all the time." ”

"That's a good thing. "I don't know what the fact that she fell in love with someone had to do with me being the founder of KB.

"Then here's the problem, I don't know what this guy does. Zhou Lingshuang sighed on the other end of the phone and said, "He is a jobless homeless here, and every day he will sit on a bench in the square and feed the pigeons for a day." ”

"And what about his financial resources?" I asked.

"I don't know, the only thing I found out is that he has shares in KB Company in his name, and he is your major shareholder. Zhou Lingshuang paused and said, "His name is Dong Xiaoyuan." ”
