138 Eye of the Storm

There was silence in the center of the eye of the storm, and only a moment was visible in the dim sky. There was a dead silence in the center of the eye of the storm, and in an instant it seemed like forever, the dusky sky.

“!”

"Ah," Qiao Yun came back to her senses and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I just—"

She wanted to find a reason, but she stopped talking about it in the middle of her sentence, not to mention inspiration, her ability to socialize normally seemed to have been taken away, and she couldn't remember how to make Cece feel relieved.

"Are you okay?" Cece didn't get angry, but looked at her carefully, "Baby, you've been distracted many times this morning, is something wrong?"

"I ......" Qiao Yun wanted to speak and stopped, did she really wander many times......? That is, less than two days have passed? Or is it three days? She is actually quite adapting well, isn't it just a breakup, what's strange, what's really strange is why no one has looked for her until now, it's quite interesting, others don't say it, what about Fu Zhan? What about Brother Qing? Qin Wei's nude photos have already made a lot of noise, [Yun] The phone on this side should also be blown up, right? Don't they need her to give an explanation? Or have they already studied a set of public relations lines externally? and Li Zhu is angry?

Far away from the ocean, this is another world, the domestic work mobile phone has been set up to call forward, and the general friend can only be contacted through Q.Q, but she has not opened Q since then, has not been on the domestic website, and the relatives and friends who can find her are those relatives and friends who know the domestic mobile phone, Fu Zhan did not call, Li Zhu did not call, Mom and Dad did not call, even Qianqian has no voice, what are they thinking? Is there an unexpected change in the domestic wind and waves?

But no matter what changes, it's none of her business, they've broken up. Qiao Yun actually can't say how uncomfortable, how unacceptable, at this moment she has imagined thousands of times and tens of thousands of times, which has become the most important hesitation of her reluctance to reunite, Qin Wei is the one who wants to force it, she is the one who mentions reality, she has been crushed by reality, she knows its weight, it's not that she doesn't love it, but she clearly knows that this can't last long. Love can make her force herself, so that she wants to continue in every possible way, but love can't make all obstacles disappear, all she asks for is nothing more than a 'don't let go', and she must not let go first in this life.

Qin Wei broke up with her, Qin Wei said it first, he gave up first, no longer forced it, and the end was already doomed when this phone call came. Qiao Yun was still angry at the beginning - she, okay, she had suspicions and imaginations, but isn't this human nature? Wavering doesn't mean that she won't believe it in the end, what she believes, she knows that he must have been calculated, maybe it's Tan Yu's game. She was angry that he didn't have a brain, she didn't even remember the furnishings of the hotel clearly, she was angry that he was negligent and set up by someone, she was angry that he made her lose face, she needed to explain to the outside world, and she was angry that his own career would be affected, and this could only be blamed on himself, of course, she was also angry at the ridiculous imagination in her mind, and she also had instinctive jealousy, Qin Wei's environment also made her have a little suspicion, she always wanted to scold him first, listen to him explain a few words, and then find a way to help him solve this dilemma - is this too much to ask?

If it was face-to-face, she should be able to see that what he needed at that moment was unreserved support, he was almost hollowed out, and he needed someone to comfort him.

If it was face-to-face, she would go up and hug Qin Wei, and wait for this low tide to pass before making a world with him. If it's face-to-face, they'll get through it, but the reality is that they can't face each other anymore, and what they want is no longer coordinated, it's very different.

This fact can't be changed, no one wants to change, can't change, so Qin Wei said that he broke up, and at his most failed moment, he didn't hate her, but he just saw their differences, which was what she had been telling him before they got back together, the difference between them. She's prepared for this moment, she's really prepared, it's just—

“joe!”

Qiao Yun blinked, realizing that she was distracted again. "I'm sorry, I-"

"Are you sick?" Cece didn't get angry, but was a little concerned, "Joe, you don't look good, do you want to go back and rest first?—— don't worry, I'll introduce Fiona to you next time." ”

a?

It took Qiao Yun more than ten seconds to remember that A was the key to this party, she is the senior editor of "Jewelry and Fashion", this magazine is considered second-tier, affected by the financial crisis, and now the advertising is very difficult to sell, in fact, Kevin once told her that this year, GA's advertising budget in the United States has been cut by 30%, which means that in addition to the six first-line magazines, the life of small media is very difficult. And the advertising budget in the hand of [rhyme] is a stepping stone, if you can get Fiona, you can use this as a springboard to enter the Jewish circle, I heard Cece say that A's husband is in the senior management of SAKS5, and he must have a good relationship with many buyers.

She has a budget in her hand, and she came to this party today to spend the money, Qiao Yun said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I took a shower for too long this morning, and I didn't eat, so I may indeed be a little uncomfortable - it should be a blood sugar problem." ”

"Then you eat quickly. Cece didn't seem to believe it, but he didn't ask.

"Of course, give me a few minutes. ”

How long has it been? 48 hours, 72 hours? What is she trying to do? Obviously she has been prepared, it's like a movie, of course, the first time you will be shocked by the sudden tragic ending, and even be crushed to the point of refusing to accept reality, but the second time, the third time, although still emotional, should not have been recovered for so long.

She is not uncomfortable, not painful, not as lost as the first time she was dumped, this time she no longer feels that she was thrown off by Qin Wei condescendingly, hung up the phone, and was said to break up, suddenly but not abruptly, like an unresolved problem suddenly erupted in an unexpected form, she would be angry, but how could she not be prepared in the deepest part of her heart?

He said the breakup, and he finally said the breakup.

He didn't call again, she didn't call back, she should have called back, she should have at least spent the worst days with him, being taken nude photos is bad enough, what's even worse is that his girlfriend has never spoken up in this matter, which is almost a real cheating. The declaration that was once more in love with Jin Jian will all become a joke, half of his star journey has been ruined, and if she doesn't make a sound, the remaining half will be ruined. If you want to break up, you can't divide now, at least externally.

What is she waiting for? Afraid of losing face, she refuses to call Qin Wei to analyze the pros and cons? Waiting for Li Zhu to call her? These are not reasons, Qiao Yun clearly knows that she will do it, no one needs to beg her, she and Qin Wei break up or not, she has to arrange these things, the connection between her and Qin Wei is no longer something that can be cut off by a breakup, their relationship has gone beyond these, she doesn't do it because of her hurt self-esteem - she just ...... She just suddenly didn't have the strength to face it.

It's like a robot, the battery has been taken away, supported by an emergency power supply, but the unrelated modules have been shut down one by one, and they can't even think about it except instinct. She kept losing power like this, for hours in the blink of an eye, and it was just-

"Hi A......"

A must be done, why? Because she is related to the cause of [rhyme] to break into mainstream fashion.

[Rhyme] must break into the mainstream fashion, why? because it has to be big. Why is it going to be bigger? Because that's what investors and start-up partners want. Why should she care about investors and startup partners? Because she wants her own brand.

Why does she want her own brand? Because she wants to show her designs, she wants to make her own designs, she wants to make herself happy.

Is she happy now?

Is she doing her own design?

What was she doing? For what, for whom, for what she wanted, for what she wanted, and for the possibility of her and Qin Wei going down?

She was introduced to Fiona, Qiao Yun seemed to be withdrawn, coldly watching the conversation between 'herself' and Fiona, she was really careless today, not fun at all, which made Cece a little embarrassed, she could see it, she knew, but she just couldn't muster the strength to care. She is like being in the eye of the storm, this moment of calm has been stretched to the limit, and all the words and smiles around Yan Yan seem to be just dreams, all of them are fake, what does this have to do with her, why should she care?

A's feedback is better than CECE's, she gets straight to the point when it comes to advertising, but she thinks Qiao Yun is straightforward and honest, "I always think there are too many gossips about you." She said that the beginning of the gossip, but Qiao Yun didn't have the words to pick her up, she should, but she didn't want to.

What is Qin Wei doing now? How is he now? Will he be more lost than her? His career was ruined overnight, he took the initiative to cut off the most convenient survival rope, how will he deal with it, will he continue to be an actor? He ...... now? Will it be more uncomfortable than in the previous life after she was told to break up?

Maybe not, men are naturally more ruthless than women, and they don't look back when they say they break up, only women are immersed in the past. It's like her, knowing that this is the end, but she still can't help but try again, she has tried, she shouldn't have any regrets, right? It's really the same as she thought, she really can't go to the end, she really wants to let go. Why is this still the case?

Qiao Yun herself is puzzled, what are you down?

"Sally......" Someone was talking to her about the name, like a shout in the wind, but she only heard a few words in the eye of the wind. "Ah, she's coming......"

sally he, Qiao Yun suddenly remembered that she still had some things related to her that she hadn't done, but now it didn't matter anymore. She stretched out her hand and shook it with her, as if someone was introducing each other, but she didn't pay attention to it, sally He delicate makeup was like a mask, floating in front of her eyes to become a freeze frame, white and tender princess-style makeup, some contrived surprised expressions, and couldn't help but smile in her eyes. "Joe, I didn't expect to see you here. ”

"Joe has been in New York for a while. "It's because you've been out too little lately, Sally." ”

"No, that's not what I meant," Sally said, her eyes were still revolving around Qiao Yun, the excessive joy made the corners of her mouth tremble, she must have been looking forward to this opportunity for a long time, and now it was like a □□ lottery ticket fell from the sky: Qiao Yun, at this juncture, pretending to be nothing appeared in the world's most secretive social occasion. The whole party had no idea what was going on with her. "I thought...... At least you shouldn't be here today—are you alright, Joe, I've heard about it, it's a shame, how could this happen?"

, Julie, and even Fiona, who they just met, they all pricked up their ears with interest, she had something on her mind, everyone could see her trance, who didn't want to know the story behind her?

Sally is spreading her shame: her boyfriend was secretly photographed nude and spread in front of the public, and her boyfriend, who claims to have always been in love with her, was photographed nude, and God knows what he has been doing behind the scenes?

Based on political correctness, everyone will gasp for this violation of ** rights, but this does not prevent them from looking at them with pity: she is a failed woman, and she can't even look down on her boyfriend. It's strange that after a couple's relationship changes, everyone will feel that the one who is betrayed is the one who loses - it is worthy of sympathy, correct, but also a failure, and the one who cheats seems to be a winner.

It's like a comical dream, gossip spreads through the crowd like a virus, and the eyes that look at her are deteriorating one by one, and Sally's happiness is increasing little by little. She didn't care that Qiao Yun appeared here, the bad words she said behind her back might be exposed, and she didn't care that there were people in the upper echelons of [Yun] that she couldn't afford to offend. Her happiness can't be diminished by these factors - oh my God, Qiao Yun has become a complete failure in front of her, with this one, what kind of account can't be written off?

And Qiao Yun just watched indifferently like this, and she didn't even feel angry. It's just – what else does it matter?

"Is it true?Joe?" Cece came to her, "God, I understand now - but you have to control Sally, doesn't she like you very much?"

"I really know how you're feeling right now, Joe, but you've got to keep yourself in check, you're going to have to hold your back up if you're still trying to mess around in the circle, trust me - Sally is about to spread the word about it all over the party, and I really don't want her to bring a bunch of people over called comfort, but it's really just humiliating you further. ”

Julie also expressed her disgust with Sally, and she had a sense of justice based on their friendship. But Qiao Yun just watched all this indifferently, watching Sally ruin her reputation and dignity.

She just didn't feel the need to move that finger.

The advice of her friends vanishes and Julie leaves her side with a sigh, their friendliness doesn't include confronting Sally head-on for her, no, friendship isn't there yet. Qiao Yun watched Sally come over, she smiled happily, and she was surrounded by the most annoying blonde bitch in the party, and she could guess what they were going to say to her.

But just don't care.

Don't be so discouraged. Sally brought a glass of wine, kindly shoved it into her hand, and whispered in her ear, "Although you can't even look down on your own man, you don't need everyone to know about it, right?"

Aren't you the one who delivered the news most enthusiastically?

She said it in English, which provoked a chuckle or two in the crowd, and Qiao Yun looked at them blankly, not even bothering to feel angry, she just waited quietly for Sally's next words.

- didn't wait, Sally didn't finish speaking, the smugness on her face turned into surprise—the kind that was more surprised than seeing Qiao Yun, and opened her mouth to look at the door. Her jubilant demeanor suddenly turned to panic, like a deer caught in the headlights, and could only stand there still, and all reactions were suspended.

There was a slight commotion in the crowd, and Qiao Yun turned to look at the door with everyone else. Seeing the very familiar man appear there, waving at her in the company of the waiter.

She reflexively waved her hand, and the waiter departed, and amid the buzzing chatter, the handsome well-dressed man walked up gracefully, stopping to say hello to two acquaintances along the way.

“sally。 Fu Zhan said with a smile, "I didn't expect such a coincidence, you are actually here." ”

Sally was in fear, and the tip of her nose was sweating a little, but Qiao Yun didn't pay attention to her emotions - her world suddenly resumed turning the moment Fu Zhan appeared, like an incomparably strong force pushing a hurricane, and she left the eye of calm and came to this reality of spinning and raging. This man has so much power just by appearing, and he himself represents that powerful, almost irresistible force-

Qin Wei, Li Zhu, Tan Yu, sales, design, ga, Kevin, parents, Ms. Lin A, Judy, everything flowed through her brain, like a strong wind blowing her clothes, dizzy and breathless, the low air pressure that gradually formed from a long time ago rotated wildly, rolling her in the center, and pushed her so far involuntarily, Qiao Yun thought: Who am I, where am I, what am I going to do?

What happened next was only a glimpse of what happened, Sally suddenly cried and whispered to Fiona, and someone led her out-

When everything was quiet, when she finally surfaced, she was already in her apartment, her suitcase was spread out, and Fu Zhan was crouching in front of it packing something.

"I booked a ticket for you. Noticing her gaze, he said to her, "Tomorrow afternoon, I will take over your work in New York, and you should return home immediately." ”

She wasn't very kind to him, she was never considerate, she kept persecuting him, but he appeared in front of her door in time when she was most vulnerable—what should this mean, what should it inspire according to common sense, but Qiao Yun didn't feel it, in fact, she wasn't listening to Fu Zhan at all.

"We should talk. She said, immersed in her decision, taking a deep breath at Fu Zhan and everything he represents, "Fu Zhan, we should have a good talk." 166 Reading Network
