The days passed plainly and busily day by day, and Bai Xiaoli saw Su Hao and An Yan in and out of the company more and more frequently.

These two people are simply crazy demons who show affection and love, and seize every opportunity to abuse dogs madly, so when Bai Xiaoli bumped into the scene of the two of them in the stairwell next to the president's office on the 18th floor, although there was a lot of visual impact, Bai Xiaoli was not surprised.

Bai Xiaoli works on the 16th floor, and the main entrance of the president's office is very close to the stairs, so every time Bai Xiaoli goes to find Jing Yuchen or is found by Jing Yuchen, he takes the stairs, and every time he selectively ignores these two people.

Although the two sides have met many times and met many times, they have never had much in common, and they have not even said hello.

It's just that, for some reason, today, An Yan took the initiative to speak to her.

"Miss Bai went to find Chenchen again! Tsk, remember to invite me and Xiao Haohao to eat candy when the time comes! An Yan half leaned in Su Hao's arms, his face was shy, and his tone was coquettish.

I don't know why, An Yan's words always made Bai Xiaoli feel uncomfortable. And An Yan's eyes always made him feel like he was thorned in his back, fortunately, this feeling didn't last long, as soon as Su Hao spoke, Bai Xiaoli felt a lot more relaxed - this kind of humorous joke always makes people laugh.

"Oh, Yan'er, how can you just eat sugar? Xiao Lili's children still want to recognize me as a godfather! Su Hao gently rubbed An Yan's shoulder, his tone was light but not uncomfortable, and under the just right joke, Bai Xiaoli also laughed at it.

"That's right! Susu's future children will also recognize me as a godmother! I'm waiting! Saying that, Bai Xiaoli glanced at the two people in front of him meaningfully.

"Hey, hey! It's called Susu! ”

"Uh-huh, okay, Susu."

"Humph! The husband sings and the wife follows, Xiao Lili, you were really taken by Chenchen! ”

Although this is the first conversation between the two in the strict sense, neither side feels half uncomfortable with each other's affectionate names.

It's just that I don't know why, unlike the comfort and relaxation that Su Hao brings to people, Bai Xiaoli always feels that An Yan's smile is a little too eye-catching, maybe it's because of Bai Xiaoli's experience in seeing people for so many years, maybe it's because of the contradiction between Secretary An and Mayor Bai?

Bai Xiaoli gently shook the document in his hand, smiled friendly, looked away, and turned to go out.

The moment she turned around, Bai Xiaoli was shocked and breathed suffocating - it's been seven years, it's been seven years, and she hasn't talked or eaten with her family for seven years.

Bai Xiaoli's footsteps paused slightly, and even after returning to normal, he pressed the sudden depression and heaviness in his heart.

"Maybe ......"

Bai Xiaoli shook his head fiercely, then looked at it again, put aside all the thoughts in his mind, casually pushed open Jing Yuchen's office door and walked in - Bai Xiaoli has always entered directly without knocking on the door, and neither of them felt unnatural about this.

Since both of them are efficient, it only takes 10 minutes to discuss official business, but it takes 20 minutes to gossip and joke casually. Within these 20 minutes, the two got the news successively - Jiang Qingyu - the former chairman of the Jiang family, at 14:05 this afternoon, unfortunately passed away at the age of 95, the memorial service began tonight, and the funeral is scheduled for the morning after tomorrow.

Only half an hour after Jiang Qingyu's death, this news has already reached the hands of relatives, friends, political dignitaries, and business elites......

Only 2 hours later, the surrounding area was overwhelmed with news about Jiang Qingyu's memorial service, and on the big screen in the city center, the reporter broadcast the scene of the memorial service in an extremely sad tone.

The camera turned straight, and Bai Xiaoli, dressed in black, appeared on the big screen, she lowered her head, her face was solemn, she stepped forward quietly, and after bowing three times, she put the lily bouquet in her hand in front of Jiang Qingyuling.

The camera flashed by, and Jing Yuchen mixed in the crowd was not captured, even if it was out of courtesy, Jing Yuchen only needed to appear at the funeral......

The black and white colors at the funeral made people feel depressed for no reason. The moment the coffin was buried in the cemetery after cremation, Bai Xiaoli suddenly realized that how many seven years are there in life?

After all, his parents are also in their fifties.

Halfway through her life, she should be the age to enjoy family fun, but she has no children around her knees - she has been away for seven years and has not returned home, her younger brother Bai Yi has been studying in the UK since junior high school, and he occasionally comes back during the winter and summer vacations, but in recent years, I don't know what he is busy with, and the number of times he comes back is getting less and less, so his nominal home is becoming more and more deserted.

And the reason why he left home, now that he thinks about it, Bai Xiaoli only feels a little small, insignificant. What was the reason for this? Is it the tone of their voice when they speak, is it the content of their speech, is it Ji Zhu's vulnerability intentionally or unintentionally, or something else?

In the second year of high school, it was a rebellious period, just because Bai Ye said "You are not suitable", Bai Xiaoli angrily slammed the door and walked out, and from then on, the pride of both sides did not allow him to bow his head first.

Before you know it, it's the way it is.

The sound of mourning and music all around was everywhere, and the mournful cries of the family members came into Bai Xiaoli's ears one after another, and struck Bai Xiaoli's heart like a bell.

Bai Xiaoli's heart throbbed a little, if, what was buried today was his blood relative, if, at that time, he hadn't seriously returned home once, if it was delayed like this, everything would be too late, then how would he be when the time came......

"Cherish the ...... of the person in front of you" The mournful voice of the funeral host came, like an alarm bell, and woke up Bai Xiaoli at once.

"Perhaps, it's time to go home and have a look......" In the mournful music, Bai Xiaoli opened his lips and murmured softly. The voice was so light that Bai Xiaoli herself didn't even hear what she said......

Bai Xiaoli thought so, and his eyes looked around the crowd - this kind of scene, if there was no urgency, otherwise, Bai Ye would not have come.

As expected, Bai Xiaoli soon saw Bai Ye, who was half-hanging his head and standing in the middle of the first row of guests with a sad face, looking from the side, his sideburns were already slightly white, and Bai Xiaoli felt sad for a moment.

Two hours later, the ceremony was over, and everyone was ushered to the hotel for a simple meal.

After Bai Xiaoli arrived at the hotel, he deliberately slowed down his pace, waiting for the last group of guests to arrive.

"Xiao Li?"

"Dad, hello Uncle An." Bai Xiaoli looked at the two who came to talk and laugh softly, and smiled politely, "Dad, let's have a table, right?" ”

"Hmm." A simple word, without too much emotion, but a hint of surprise flashed in Bai Ye's eyes, and a happy smile uncontrollably swelled on his face.

Maybe it's a little out of place, but this meal is really warm and happy. President Jiang and Jing Yuchen also sat together, and the three parties mentioned the cooperation case that had just been carried out by the way.

So far, the Women's Federation has established branches in both enterprises and has begun to operate. So far, everything has been going well.

The table was full of praise for Bai Xiaoli, Bai Xiaoli just smiled humbly, Jing Yuchen's eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction, and Bai Ye's face was even more undisguised smile.

His Xiao Li is so good!

Today, perhaps the happiest meal Bai Ye has eaten in the past seven years, so good that Bai Ye is a little reluctant to end this meal like this.

"Xiao Li, tonight, will you go home for dinner?" Although Bai Xiaoli had already shown the goodwill of reconciliation just now, there was still some caution in Bai Ye's tone at this time, over the years, he had been disappointed many times, disappointed, and even a little afraid to hope.

"Well, Dad, let's go home together?" Bai Xiaoli smiled, his smile was calm and demure, and his whole person was as gentle as a fairy.

The deceased is gone, but there are too many things to cherish.

Ji Zhu, everything in the past may be time to let go.

The important thing is to live a good life in the future.

Seeing Bai Xiaoli and Bai Ye standing together and talking about something, Jing Yuchen watched from a distance, always feeling that the picture in front of him was too warm and reluctant to disturb.

After a shock, Jing Yuchen received a message.

"I'll go home for dinner today, don't wait for me."

When he looked up, he saw Bai Xiaoli smiling at him, winking a little playfully, and then left with Bai Ye.

"Well, I don't know what happened to that old man at home."

Since the death of Jing Yuchen's mother, Sedum has been living alone, and in recent years, he has lived in a simple place, and it seems that he has long been out of the world, and only serves some flowers and plants all day long, which is quite a hermit master.

It's just a pity that all of this is just a seem. Sedum seems to have no quarrel with the world, but in fact, it has all kinds of information, although the door is not out, the second door is not stepping, but the news is better than anyone else.

"Mom, I'm back. I want to eat sweet and sour fish, I want to eat fried mushrooms, I want to eat yam pork rib soup, I want to eat fish-flavored eggplant, and I want to eat a lot more! As soon as he entered the door, before he changed his shoes, Bai Xiaoli shouted loudly into the house, his tone was natural, as if he had a conversation eight or nine years ago when he was still studying and came home from school.

"Little ...... Xiao Li! The woman who heard the sound seemed to feel a little incredulous, and her beautiful eyes were also covered with a layer of mist, "Okay, good! Whatever Xiao Li wants to eat, my mother will cook it for you! Mommy goes now! ”

In the shoe cabinet, Bai Xiaoli's shoes were still in their original position, clean and clean, looking like they had just been washed a few days ago.

Similarly, Bai Xiaoli's room is also being cleaned every once in a while, everything is still the same as when Bai Xiaoli left, the book on the bedside table is still on that page, and the book is still sandwiched with the bamboo bookmark that Ji Zhu gave her back then.

Bai Xiaoli gently picked up the bookmark and looked at the light quietly for a while, the words "Zhuli Family" carved on it were still clearly visible, but everything had already passed in time, before, she didn't see it through, but she didn't want to accept it.

Looking closely, the corners of the bookmark were already a little broken, Bai Xiaoli gently stroked the bookmark, smiled relievedly, clipped the bookmark back to that page, and closed the book forever.

"Xiao Li, it's time to eat!" At this time, Ye Yunliu's familiar call came from downstairs, and Bai Xiaoli casually inserted the book into the bookshelf and turned to go downstairs, his movements were crisp and neat without a trace of nostalgia.

"Uh-huh, here it is!"
