"Xiao Fan, who was that old man just now? I think you seem to have a lot of prejudice against him?" Thinking back to what happened just now, Zhang Xin couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I've only met him once, but I don't think well of him. Chen Fan replied.

"Just one side you have a bad impression of him!" Xia Lan exclaimed with some surprise, "It seems that this bad old man is not a good person either. ”

"I don't know if it's a good person, but what Sister Xin said just now is right, this Liu Lao also came to me with a plan, if you hadn't reminded me just now, I almost couldn't help but want to agree to him. Speaking of this, Chen Fan looked at the two women and said, "Thank you." ”

"We just ruined your good future. You still want to thank us!" saw Xia Lan blink mischievously and exclaimed.

Xia Lan's naughty appearance made Chen Fan scratch his hair, if Zhang Xin hadn't pulled the clothes on his back just now, he would have really been moved by Liu Minghai's outstretched olive branch, but fortunately, Zhang Xin's pull also made him jump out of the trap designed by Liu Minghai.

"Xiaolan, don't tease Xiaofan, go wash your clothes. Zhang Xin saw that Chen Fan was scratching his hair a little embarrassed, and couldn't help patting Xia Lan's little head and shouting.

Being slapped by Zhang Xin like this, Xia Lan couldn't help but stick out her tongue at Xiao Fan, looking very naughty and cute, as if she was a little girl next door. Chen Fan couldn't help but scratch his head.

Bai Fanghua and the other four women walked to the parking spot with a smile and a smile, and found that they didn't know when a man about forty years old, well-dressed, with a not handsome face, but with mature charm, leaned next to Zhao Qingwan's car, with a hint of silence, and kept smoking the cigarette in his hand.

As soon as Zhao Qingwan saw the man's talking and laughing expressions with Bai Fanghua and the others just now, she immediately put it away, and the whole person became a little indifferent.

Bai Fanghua and the others on the side were also surprised by the change in Zhao Qingwan's whole person, and Lin Manyun couldn't help but wonder: "Who is Sister Zhao?"

"Don't ask. Zhao Qingwan spit out these three words coldly, and she didn't speak, because at this time, Lin Xiaotian had already walked in front of her.

Lin Xiaotian looked at Bai Fanghua and the others beside Zhao Qingwan, and finally stopped at Zhao Qingwan's expressionless calm faces, and said, "Xiaowan, can you find a place to talk?"

Hearing this, Bai Fanghua's three daughters all looked at Zhao Qingwan with some surprise, only to see that her face was calm and she couldn't see a trace of anything wrong, which made Bai Fanghua and the others couldn't help but look at Lin Xiaotian in front of others.

Although he didn't want to see Lin Xiaotian, there were Bai Fanghua and others beside him, and Zhao Qingwan was also not good at attacking, so he had to order at the moment and didn't speak.

"There's a café right next door, so why don't we go inside?" Lin Xiaotian pointed to the café on the side and said.

Zhao Qingwan nodded, seemingly not wanting to waste half of her saliva with Lin Xiaotian.

Bai Fanghua and the others saw that Zhao Qingwan had kept up with Lin Xiaotian's pace at this time, and they hurriedly followed, because they were also very curious about what the relationship between this Lin Xiaotian and Zhao Qingwan was, why was this Lin Xiaotian the title Zhao Qingwan Xiaowan, and why Zhao Qingwan changed his whole person like this as soon as he saw this Lin Xiaotian.

Sitting in the café, Lin Xiaotian asked Zhao Qingwan, who was sitting opposite, "Xiaowan, what do you want to drink?"

"Whatever. Zhao Qingwan finally spoke at this time, but her tone was very cold and there were few words.

"Bring me two Nanshan coffees. Lin Xiaotian ordered two cups of Nanshan coffee from the waiter, then looked at Zhao Qingwan and said: "I remember that you like to shout this kind of coffee the most, you say that the taste of this coffee is like your life experience, bitter with a sweetness, as if you are tasting your life." ”

Hearing this made Zhao Qingwan's calm face frown a little, but her face quickly returned to the expressionless appearance she had just now, making it impossible to see what she was thinking in her heart at this time. I only heard her tone be a little cold: "Say, what is the matter with you coming to me?"

"Xiaowan, is it necessary to do this to me?" As he spoke, Lin Xiaotian reached out to shake Zhao Qingwan's hand on the table, but before his hand could touch, Zhao Qingwan had already withdrawn his hand from the table.

"If you come to me just to say these things, I don't think I have anything to talk about!" As she spoke, Zhao Qingwan was about to get up and leave. , "Xiao Wan and so on." Lin Xiaotian hurriedly said, "Can you stay and chat with me for a while?" I just want to see you, please." ”

The last two words can be said to be with deep pleading, and the voice can be said to be extremely gentle, it is really hard to imagine that a forty-year-old man would say such a thing, let alone a high-ranking person like Lin Xiaotian.

Maybe it was because of Lin Xiaotian's last two words that Zhao Qingwan couldn't help but sit back in her position, just quietly looking at the man opposite who made her familiar, but very unfamiliar.

"Xiaowan, I know that it was me who was not good at the beginning, so I would let you ......" Speaking of this, Lin Xiaotian stopped and looked up at Zhao Qingwan, with affectionate eyes, with his not very handsome but very mature male face, it can be said that many women are fascinated.

"Don't talk about the past, I don't want to live in memories. Zhao Qingwan's face was still calm, and it could be seen that she seemed to have forgotten all about the past. It's just that this "forgetting" is only clear to her.

"Yes, you're right! You can't live in memories forever. Lin Xiaotian cleaned up his mood a little and said, "Xiaowan, are you okay lately?"

"I'm fine, I go to and from work every day, and when I have nothing to do, I go shopping with my friends, and I have a very fulfilling life. Zhao Qingwan nodded, then looked at Lin Xiaotian, her mouth couldn't help moving, and she couldn't help but say the word "you", and then she began to say, "How are you lately?"

Zhao Qingwan's concern made Lin Xiaotian can't help but show a knowing smile, nodded and said: "I'm okay, I don't have to deal with the things on the road now, I don't have to deal with them, they all leave it to Ma Qiang and them to take care of, and they wander around every day when they have nothing to do." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Qingwan just nodded, didn't speak, and sat there quietly, until the waiter brought the coffee, Zhao Qingwan picked up the coffee and took a sip.

This is the first time she drank this coffee three years later, and three years ago she had an indescribable liking for this coffee, just like Lin Xiaotian said just now, it may be the mellow flavor of this coffee, bitter and slightly sweet, soft and smooth, and slightly sour The unique taste attracts it. And her life is like coffee in this cup, sour, bitter and sweet.

On a table not far away, Bai Fanghua and the others were already there to whisper, because they could all see that this Lin Xiaotian was not an ordinary person, and from his complex temperament that was arrogant, restrained and gentle, it already made the three of them very curious about the relationship between Lin Xiaotian and Bai Fanghua.

"Sister Bai, do you think this man will be Sister Zhao's relative?" asked Liu Ruyan turning her head.

Bai Fanghua touched her chin with her hand, then shook her head and said, "I don't think so, if it was a relative, then the name would not look at Qingwan with such eyes, that kind of eyes seemed to be looking at his lover." ”

"According to Sister Bai, what you say, isn't the relationship between this man and Sister Zhao a lover?" Lin Manyun said with some surprise.

Bai Fanghua smiled and said, "I think that's just the past, didn't you see Qingwan's indifference to this man?" Speaking of this, Bai Fanghua turned his head and asked, "Man Yun, you have known Sister Zhao for the longest time, do you recognize such a man?"

After searching in his brain, Lin Manyun had no impression of Lin Xiaotian at all, and couldn't help shaking his head at the moment, and said, "I don't know, I've never seen this man before." ”

"Ruyan, are you?" Bai Fanghua had no choice but to look at Liu Ruyan on the other side and said, "You used to be a reporter, do you know who this man is?"

"I didn't work as a reporter in Binhai City before, and I haven't been back here for a long time now, so I'll know there. Liu Ruyan shook her head and said.

"By the way, although I don't know the man sitting with Sister Zhao, I have seen the man. Saying that, Lin Manyun secretly pointed to Ma Qiang on a table not far from them, and then told the two of them what happened last time in the leisure center and said: "At that time, this person also said that as long as Sister Zhao was willing to nod, he would let Huang Damin and Zhang Linshan, the two bastards, disappear in this world. Those affirmative words made one wonder what he was saying. ”,

Listening to Lin Manyun's narration, Bai Fanghua and Liu Ruyan couldn't help but be surprised, and looked at Zhao Qingwan and the man not far away with a curious look, and then looked at Ma Qiang's body, because when they came in just now, several of them noticed Ma Qiang's awe of Lin Xiaotian.

"Hearing you say that, this man should be a man of the Tao, right?" Liu Ruyan, as a reporter, knows more about many things in society than many people.

"Who knows. But last time I heard that Zhang Lin Shan, I called that man "Brother Wolf", and when I heard it, I knew that it was a name on the road, and this Brother Wolf was very respectful to Sister Zhao. Lin Manyun looked at Ma Qiang, who was sitting not far away, and said softly to the two.

Ma Qiang also seemed to notice that Bai Fanghua and the others were talking about him, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the place where Bai Fanghua was sitting, nodded at them, and ignored the gaze of Bai Fanghua and the others. continued to look at the place where Lin Xiaotian and Zhao Qingwan were sitting. He didn't expect that Lin Xiaotian would come to Zhao Qingwan, and Ma Qiang also knew something about the two of them.

Although they are not very sure, Bai Fanghua and the three of them still vaguely guessed that this Lin Xiaotian's identity is really not simple, maybe it is the big brother on the road, but why does Zhao Qingwan know such a person, and it can be seen from the actions of Zhao Qingwan and Lin Xiaotian just now that this Lin Xiaotian and Zhao Qingwan must have had an extraordinary relationship in the past, maybe as Bai Fanghua just said, they used to be a pair of lovers.

There were some elegant and nostalgic old songs floating in the café, and Lin Xiaotian and Zhao Qingwan only ended their conversation just now, and the two didn't say a word, just sat there quietly, as if they were waiting for the other party to speak first.

"Xiaowan, can we start all over again?" Lin Xiaotian said quietly.

"Huh?" Zhao Qingwan stopped the small spoon that stirred the coffee, with a look of surprise on her face, and her face immediately regained her calm, picked up the cup and took a sip of the fragrant coffee, and then put the cup down, looked at Lin Xiaotian opposite, and said in a somewhat cold tone: "Are you begging me?"

Silent. Lin Xiaotian was silent all of a sudden, what he was silent about was not Zhao Qingwan's words, but her tone as light as clear water, if Zhao Qingwan's tone was cold or angry, ridicule, etc., he might not be silent, but this light passerby-like tone made him have to be silent.

Once upon a time, Lin Xiaotian had always wanted to sit quietly with Zhao Qingwan, but now he had done it, but he could feel Zhao Qingwan's indifference to him like a stranger, as if he was just a passerby in her life.

"Thank you for this cup of coffee, if it's okay, I'll go first. With that, Zhao Qingwan had already stood up from her seat.

"Xiaowan, can I still come to you next time?" Lin Xiaotian said as he looked at Zhao Qingwan, who was about to leave.

"Is it necessary?"

Throwing down such a sentence, Zhao Qingwan left without looking back. Bai Fanghua and the others, who were not far away, saw this and hurriedly followed.

Looking at Zhao Qingwan's departing back, Lin Xiaotian's heart was very uncomfortable, and a helpless bitter smile appeared on his face.

Is it really necessary? Lin Xiaotian was also thinking deeply about the sentence that Zhao Qingwan left behind. When was the relationship between him and her close, but now they are the same passers-by, although they know that it was him who was wrong, and they also know that it will always be difficult to turn back what they missed, but they still have a trace of disappointment.

The helplessness and pain on Lin Xiaotian's face are completely different from the confident Brother Tian that Ma Qiang usually sees, and there is still a little bit of the demeanor of the boss on the Jiangnan Provincial Road, and he is completely an emotional loser at this time.

Although the meeting between Lin Xiaotian and Zhao Qingwan seemed to be peaceful, Ma Qiang still knew that this meeting ended in unhappiness. He also knew that Lin Xiaotian loved Zhao Qingwan very much, otherwise he would not always care about Zhao Qingwan's condition, and asked himself to help Zhao Qingwan in secret, which can also be said to be another side of Lin Xiaotian's tenderness.

Sitting quietly in his seat, Lin Xiaotian picked up the coffee on the table and began to taste it, but he couldn't feel the sweetness in the coffee, only the extremely bitter taste.
