Zhuang Yan did encounter some difficulties.

She was caught in a snowstorm when she got off the plane and was stranded at the airport.

Her phone ran out of battery as soon as she boarded the plane, and by the time she had charged it on the airport's public charger, it had been almost twenty hours since she boarded the plane in China.

When the phone was turned on, her first instinct was to call her colleague to tell her that she was going to be late.

However, as soon as she turned on the phone, a text message from Bai Hetaro was transmitted.

Remind her that Bai Hetaro had called her, but she didn't receive it.

White Crane Taro ......

Zhuang Yan thought of the name, and then remembered the face, frowned slightly, and deleted the text message.

Cheng Yiyu should have done everything by now.

White crane taro.

She silently recited the name in her mind again, and she called herself, what did she want to say?

They are actually not people of the same world, but for one reason, Zhuang Yan forcibly made her have a bond with herself.

She thought: Shouldn't I go back to the past? Listen to what she wants to say, and if it's those boring words of thanks, she'll hang up right away......

She was already about to call back to Bai Hetaro, but at this moment, her mobile phone rang preemptively.

Almost subconsciously, Zhuang Yan felt that it was a white crane taro.

However, what appeared on the screen of the mobile phone was a letter that had not appeared in a long time.

“l”。

At that moment, Zhuang Yan seemed to feel her heartbeat pause for a second.

She looked at her phone—it was still ringing tenaciously.

Zhuang Yan took a deep breath and answered the phone.

***

Since the incident happened on that day in Shenghai Company, Bai Hetaro has not heard from Wang Xiangting again.

In fact, if they hadn't lived together before, she sometimes wouldn't know where Wang Xiangting had gone.

After that, someone actually came to contact her, just by phone, and the other party didn't say much, just briefly told her that she needed to come to the company to register for the report within three days.

Bai Hetaro lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling in distraction.

She can already feel very clearly that her life has completely deviated from the track she envisioned.

She thought for a moment and reached for her phone.

Zhuang Yan still didn't reply.

Zhuang Yan should have been transferred from Los Angeles to New York, and Bai Hetaro also paid special attention to the weather in Los Angeles, Los Angeles suffered a heavy snowstorm, was Zhuang Yan trapped?

But after thinking about it, Bai Hetaro was amused by his inexplicable kindness: Does Zhuang Yan care about this?

She was so cold that everyone thought she was invincible.

Bai Hetaro decided to leave her behind for the time being, she turned out a number and dialed it.

The other party quickly connected, but he didn't say a word, as if waiting for Bai Hetaro to speak first.

Bai Hetaro was really a little breathless, she spoke first, "Uncle......"

Finally, there was a voice over there: "It's Crane Taro, is there something wrong with you?" ”

The voice is a little impatient, and I can faintly hear the sound of talking to others.

Bai Hetaro smiled: "Uncle, my parents borrowed 800,000 yuan from you before leaving, right?" ”

"Right...... Oh, what 800,000, alas, Hetaro, you were young at that time, obviously a million. ”

Bai Hetaro smiled, automatically ignoring the sound of her aunt pointing on the side, she felt that she suddenly became very tired, she sighed: "Yes, my parents asked how much they borrowed, and they all recorded it in the notebook, and when they pay it off one day, this notebook is now in my hand." ”

It's just that I didn't expect the use to change.

There was a scolding from there.

Bai Hetaro ignored it, and she continued: "Uncle, I have exactly 800,000 yuan in my hand now, I don't want to drag it out, do you have time tomorrow?" Please bring the IOU, and I will pay it off. ”

The uncle of the white crane taro quickly picked up: "Yes, yes, but the crane taro, this money has been lent out for several years, and the price of this is also rising, but the money is worthless, you see the interest...... After all, I'm ...... with your dad."

Even across the phone, Bai Hetaro still seemed to have seen his uncle's greedy appearance.

She chuckled: "Uncle, tomorrow at nine o'clock, I will wait for you at Starbucks in Laifeng Building, if you don't come, I will return the 800,000 to the second uncle-since you are so busy, it is better to contact you when you are free, anyway, it is a matter of time for you, isn't it?" ”

Before waiting for the uncle's reply, Bai Hetaro hung up the phone.

She believed that his money-loving uncle would be there on time.

In fact, her uncle came at about eight o'clock, accompanied by her aunt.

Seeing Bai Crane taro coming, her aunt pulled her sunglasses, glanced up and down a few times at Bai Crane Taro, and saw that she was still wearing ines, and her complexion was still good, which was completely inconsistent with the depression she imagined, so she couldn't help but grit her teeth.

"Crane taro," a fake smile appeared on her face, "I didn't expect your life to be quite good, without your parents by your side, you are living better, it seems that you have really grown up." ”

Her uncle laughed on the side: "Yes, our crane taro is really getting more and more beautiful." ”

Bai Heyu looked at these two people, her face was expressionless, she didn't even want to greet this kind of false politeness, and went straight to the point: "What about the IOU?" ”

Her uncle's face quickly fell.

Unhurriedly, her aunt took out a wide note from her bag and shook it in front of Bai Hetaro.

Bai Hetaro saw at a glance that it was his father's signature and handprint.

"Crane taro," her aunt opened, "I can say in the front, I lent your father 800,000 yuan, and it was also the money that your uncle squeezed out in brotherhood, and our life was not peaceful. ”

She said again: "I think you're doing well now, you won't even be able to take out the 200,000." ”

Bai Hetaro said frankly: "Whether I have it or not, I won't take out the 200,000." ”

"Then we don't have to discuss." After the aunt finished speaking, she quickly put the IOU into her bag.

"Really?" Bai Hetaro sat in his seat with a gloomy expression.

"I am very grateful for your willingness to help my father when he was in danger," said Bai Heyao, "I will remember the kindness that others have done to me, so I am also very grateful for your offer to ask me to pay the debt when my parents were killed, and thank you for suing me after knowing that it is not my duty to either pay my parents' debts or you to apply to the court for a mortgage on the house." ”

Her aunt stretched her neck and smiled: "Your parents are dead, if we really follow the legal procedures, then our money will be wasted?" The father's debt to the son is righteous. ”

"Yes, I'm really very sympathetic to you people," Bai Tsurutaro nodded, "I'm willing to take responsibility for my parents, whether they are or not - but I mean, if you were able to take the legal route in the first place, I can now." ”

"What do you mean?"

Bai Heyu said: "Since the IOU is written in black and white for 800,000 yuan, and the law only recognizes 800,000 yuan, isn't this truth understood by all primary school students?" ”

"Auntie, you don't treat me as family, then, so do I."

***

After being stranded at the airport for six hours, Zhuang Yan finally welcomed her assistant.

"You're half an hour late." Zhuang Yan sat in the public seat, her legs folded, her arms placed casually, and her expression was like the queen coming again.

The assistant's teeth were trembling, it was estimated that it was too cold, and she just wanted to speak, but saw Zhuang Yan raise her eyebrows.

"However, due to the weather, a qiē can be forgiven."

"Thank you...... Xie ......" The assistant in a thick coat and a big scarf nodded gratefully and handed the hot coffee in his hand to Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan took it, looked at her, and didn't speak.

The assistant finally recovered from the cold, "Director Zhuang, I have booked the fastest train ticket, and I will definitely be able to get to New York within today." ”

Zhuang Yan shook her head: "I've sued you before, don't use 'certain' when you speak, you can never be sure what will happen in the next second." ”

The assistant nodded repeatedly.

However, the feeling of being trapped is really terrible, especially in this kind of noisy place, Zhuang Yan doesn't like to be noisy, so it is good for her to be able to leave this ghost place.

Since the snowstorm had not yet abated, the taxi to the train station was also moving very slowly, and Zhuang Yan knew that this must be another long and difficult time, so she took out her mobile phone.

She couldn't help but think of the white crane taro.

What is she doing?

On second thought, she was so lazy, she must be sleeping now.

Zhuang Yan took out her mobile phone and got on the social software.

A minute ago, Cheng Yiyu happened to be updated with the latest news, but his luck was obviously better than Zhuang Yan, he had already reached his destination before the blizzard came, and the blizzard did not have a special impact on his state, and did not affect the traffic.

Cheng Yiyu sent a photo, taken casually, the photo is him and her girlfriend, the two are at the door of the movie theater, they should be preparing to watch a movie, and both of them have no faces as usual.

Cheng Yiyu is older than Zhuang Yan, but compared with Cheng Yiyu, Zhuang Yan's working hours are obviously longer, she has interned at the windsor group since college, and stayed directly after graduation; And Cheng Yiyu was excavated by a headhunting company, and the nature of their work is also different, Cheng Yiyu is the assistant to the president, and there is not much communication and contact with Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan didn't even know who Cheng Yiyu's girlfriend was and what she looked like - he rarely posted his girlfriend's messages on social media, and even occasionally, the two would not have a straight face, and his * was well protected.

Zhuang Yan and he are the only Chinese in the high-level, both of them are of the same age, and their three views are similar, and they have some sympathy for each other, after all, there is always a sense of intimacy when meeting people of the same skin color in a foreign country.

But looking at the photo of Cheng Yiyu, Zhuang Yan inexplicably felt that her temples jumped suddenly.

"Have you ever met Cheng Yiyu's girlfriend?" She turned to ask the assistant beside her.

"Is there a special assistant to the city?" The assistant thought for a while and shook his head again, "I don't know, everyone only knows that he has a girlfriend, but they don't seem to have seen him, so it shouldn't be in the industry." ”

Zhuang Yan nodded.

She didn't know why she suddenly paid attention to Cheng Yiyu's girlfriend, but she had a ...... just now There is an indescribable sense of insecurity that I don't know why.

When they arrived at the train station, there was still some time before the train departed, Zhuang Yan casually found a seat and sat down, and at this time, her mobile phone rang.

She pulled it out.

It turned out to be a white crane taro.

She frowned and pressed the call button.

"Ah...... Miss Zhuang, Miss Zhuang......"

It seemed that she didn't expect Zhuang Yan to answer the phone so quickly, and the tone of Bai Hetaro on the other side of the phone sounded a little unnatural.

"What's wrong?" Zhuang Yan rubbed her eyebrows.

"No...... Well...... I mean......"

"Let's talk about it," Zhuang Yan said, "if it's a thank you, you don't have to." ”

"Yes," Hakuru seemed to smile, "I know you're going to say that, and you're going to say that it's a contract, and you're just fulfilling it, right?" ”

The feeling at the moment when she was told by the other party was really a little strange, Zhuang Yan felt that she had an indescribable feeling in her heart, but she didn't feel annoying.

"So you're not particularly clumsy." Zhuang Yan said.

She felt a little better, so she asked again, "Did you go to Rene to report?" ”

Bai Crane Taro said no.

"Then the person in charge you should go to see is my old acquaintance."

"Your friend?"

"No, it's the person I hate the most."

White Crane Taro: "......"

Feeling the other party's speechlessness, Zhuang Yan hooked the corners of her mouth, heard Bai Hetaro laugh twice, and asked again: "Is there a snowstorm in the United States?" ”

"Yes, I'm used to it, but you probably haven't seen it."

Zhuang Yan didn't go out of her way to investigate Bai Hetaro, but simply learned about her company, and after knowing that it was a grass platform team, Zhuang Yan didn't understand it very much: she knew that it was a place with no future, so she had nothing to jump into?

But after thinking about it, I understood that in Zhuang Yan's impression, Bai Hetaro should be the kind of person who is ignorant of the world, born in a relatively good family, dreams of stardom, lives in a beautiful greenhouse, and has never seen the outside world, this kind of person seems to be able to succeed as long as she is lured at the lowest cost. It's just that her family fell into the middle of the road and took on some debts, but because of the good education she received since childhood, it didn't have much negative impact on her spirit and affection.

Bai Hetaro said: "No, I also saw it when I was studying in France. ”

Zhuang Yan was a little surprised: "Did you study in France?" ”

Bai Hetaro answered, but she didn't say that her school was not finished yet.

Zhuang Yan frowned, and didn't ask any further, she didn't want to go too deep.

Bai Hetaro suddenly said, "Can I talk to you for a few words?" ”

Zhuang Yan was ready to refuse—she wasn't one of the few people to talk to.

But Bai Hetaro had already started, and her tone suddenly sank: "I don't know who to talk to, it's just ...... I was alone, and I felt like I couldn't digest it at all. ”

Zhuang Yan: "You can say it, but I don't guarantee that I will listen, let alone how I will react." ”

Bai Hetaro smiled, and she suddenly said: "It turns out that human beings are sometimes not as good as ordinary animals. ”

"For the sake of profit, you can abandon a qiē ......"

"We should be the closest people......

Zhuang Yan didn't know what happened to Bai Hetaro, but based on her words, she could guess it.

She didn't speak, Bai Hetaro didn't need comfort, she didn't need to comfort people, she just needed to speak.

Bai Heyao's voice on the phone was a little low, and after hearing it, Zhuang Yan heard herself ask.

"White Crane Taro, are you crying?"
