98 Familiar Strangers
Nanxi was originally wilted there, and he didn't have much strength. As soon as she heard that the matter was eyebrow-raising, she immediately came to her senses, straightened her waist, leaned towards Liao Yijiang, and asked eagerly, "How is it?" What's the information? ”
Liao Yijiang touched his cheeks, thought about it, and said, "This is ...... It's a bit of a suspense. That Xin Ping, as rumored, is Pei Tianming's first girlfriend, and the two of them are college classmates. After graduating, Pei Tianming joined Zhao's Entertainment, and Xin Ping worked in a small company to make ......"
"Later, Pei Tianming wanted to marry Zhao Xinyao, so he abandoned Xin Ping, is that so?" Nan Xi answered.
"Yes......" Liao Yijiang nodded, "Since Pei Tianming and Xin Ping broke up, the suspense drama has been staged." Xin Ping resigned from the company, and since then the world has evaporated, and no one can find her. Later, her family could not contact her, so they reported the case, but the police did not find her. Eventually, her family gave up the search and applied to the court for a declaration of death, and she disappeared from this world completely......"
"That's all?" Nanxi didn't hear any useful information, stared at Liao Yijiang and asked.
Liao Yijiang signaled her not to worry: "Regarding Xin Ping, there is only these news, and there is no equivalent to nothing." But I found out the address of her eldest brother, and he lives in Anling County......"
"Do you have a specific address?" Nanxi immediately got excited, jumped off the bed, and stood opposite Liao Yijiang.
Liao Yijiang took out a note from his pocket and handed it to her.
She was about to reach out to take it, but he retracted his hand again: "You want this address, are you going to go by yourself?" I'm afraid you're in danger, this note is kept with me, when you want to go, I'll take you with me. ”
"You show me!" Nan Xi couldn't help but say, snatching the note from his hand, "Just ask about something, where will there be any danger...... Besides, I won't necessarily go either. ”
She said, her eyes were on the note, and she saw a string of addresses written on it: No. 2, Myeongdong Street, West of Anling County, Xin Hui.
"It's called Xin Hui......" she muttered quietly.
Liao Yijiang asked worriedly, "When are you going to go?" Don't forget not to go by yourself, if you don't believe me, you call Chen Sufen and ask her to go with you. ”
"I see, I'll talk about it when I want to go." Nanxi put away the note as he spoke, "Thank you, I found it so quickly, I must have been busy all afternoon, right?" ”
"If you know, it's good." Liao Yijiang was not polite, "Verbal thanks are forgiven, I really want to thank me, why don't you invite me to a meal, I'm still hungry." ”
"It's okay to eat, but I'm really tired today and don't want to go out, can you do it another day?" Nanxi said embarrassedly.
Liao Yijiang pointed to the door: "When I came in, I saw my aunt setting the table in the restaurant, we don't have to go out to eat, it's the same at home, you won't leave the meal, you want to drive me away, right?" ”
"Oh...... Nanxi hesitated, "There are guests at home today, don't you feel inconvenient?" ”
"What's wrong with me? Are you inconvenienced? Liao Yijiang pouted, "I'm just ordinary friends with you, and I don't seem to have the power to care too much about you." But I still have something to say, what do you want to do if you let Deng Jiaxiang's parents live at home? ”
"I didn't think about it." Nanxi frowned impatiently, "I also know that this is inappropriate, but the two old men used to be very good to me, and they came here from afar, and they are not familiar with the place, so I can't push them out." Besides...... I met Pei Jiaoqian in the hospital just now, she almost forcibly robbed the two old people, if the two of them really fell into Pei Jiaoqian's hands...... I'm still a little unbearable. ”
"Eun!" Liao Yijiang nodded heavily, "You are a kind little sheep, then okay, I'll play the big bad wolf once." ”
"What do you mean?" Nanxi didn't understand.
"The two old men defected to you as soon as they came, which shows that they like you very much, the former prospective daughter-in-law, and maybe they still have fantasies, hoping that after his son divorces, you can become the second daughter-in-law of their Deng family...... It's not just the two old men who think like this, didn't Deng Jiaxiang do the same? He never gives up on you, you should know best. Liao Yijiang explained.
Nanxi immediately became vigilant: "What do you want?" Don't come nonsense. ”
"I won't come nonsense, I just need to let the two old men know that you are no longer a dish in their Deng family's basket......" Liao Yijiang said, grinding his fists.
Nanxi immediately objected: "I don't want it, I'm not a dish in their basket, but I'm not single......"
Talking about his married status coldly, Nanxi remembered that the road was far away, his mood plummeted, and he couldn't talk anymore.
Liao Yijiang stared at her quietly for a while, and when he saw that she didn't say anything, he stood up: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, and I won't embarrass you...... Eat, I'm so hungry. ”
Nanxi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, did not refuse Liao Yijiang, and walked out of the room with him.
As soon as the door opened, Nanxi saw that Mother Deng was poking her head out to look this way. Seeing them come out, she quickly turned around and entered the dining room.
Nanxi sighed helplessly, and Liao Yijiang whispered behind her: "Doesn't it look like a strict mother-in-law is staring at her daughter-in-law, afraid that she will cheat?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Nanxi turned his head and glared at Liao Yijiang.
Liao Yijiang shrank his neck and stopped talking.
The two of them entered the dining room, and dinner was ready. Seeing Nanxi, Deng's mother was a little at a loss, pretending to set up dishes and chopsticks, holding a plate in her hand, looking up at Liao Yijiang, and asked with an embarrassed smile: "Xiaoxi, who is this?" ”
"A colleague from the company...... Come to me for a business matter. Nanxi hesitated, but added an explanation.
"Oh...... The company is so busy, and I have to talk about business after work at night. Mother Deng's expression froze.
"Hello Auntie, I was in a hurry to talk to Xiaoxi about something just now, and I didn't say hello to you. My name is Liao Yijiang, and I am Xiaoxi's subordinate and Deng Jiaxiang's old colleague. In fact, Mother Deng can see it, I came so late, in fact, I wanted to use the excuse of talking about business to have a meal here in Xiaoxi. I'm a bachelor, I don't like to cook, I can't eat well outside every day, hehe......" Liao Yijiang smiled honestly.
"Uh-oh." Mother Deng agreed casually, lowered her head, and no longer looked at Liao Yijiang.
Nanxi felt that Liao Yijiang's words were not excessive, but he did not refute it, and turned his head to greet Father Deng: "Uncle Deng, it's time to eat." ”
Dad Deng beckoned to Nanxi in the living room: "Xiaoxi, come here." ”
Nanxi walked over: "What's the matter?" ”
"Look at this guy on the TV news...... Is it the one surnamed Pei? Dad Deng asked, pointing to the TV screen.
Nanxi hurriedly looked over and saw that a financial news was being broadcast on TV, and the person in the picture was Pei Tianming. A financial reporter was interviewing him: "Mr. Pei, Mr. Zhao handed over Zhao's Entertainment to you, do you have any special expectations?" ”
Pei Tianming smiled confidently and elegantly: "My father-in-law trusts me very much, and he only said one sentence: Tianming, Zhao's entertainment is my life's work, you have to cherish it." ”
"So how does Mr. Pei plan to run Zhao's Entertainment? What kind of new initiatives will you take when you take office? The financial reporter asked again.
"There will definitely be new initiatives, but I will not change the management pattern of the company when my father-in-law was there, I am a novice in this industry, and I still have to learn more......" Pei Tianming showed humility at the right time.
Nanxi didn't like to look at his hypocritical face, so she turned her gaze and said to Dad Deng: "Yes, it's him, Pei Tianming." ”
Dad Deng narrowed his eyes: "People who do business have the word treacherous written on their faces." ”
"Uncle, Pei Tianming is not an ordinary businessman." Nanxi felt that Dad Deng might not understand Pei Tianming's strength, so he said more.
Dad Deng snorted disdainfully: "Hmph, the bigger the business, the more inhumane ...... it is."
Nanxi thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.
"Xiaoxi, call Uncle Deng to eat, the food will be cold in a while." Liao Yijiang was very invisible, like a master, leaned out of the restaurant and beckoned Uncle Deng to eat.
A dinner, a twisted meal.
Mother Deng raised her head from time to time and studied Liao Yijiang's face with an inquiring gaze. Dad Deng ate low, didn't say a word, his expression was very serious, and his heart was heavy.
Nanxi has a lot of things in her heart, her appetite is not good, and when Mother Deng looks left and right, she has no heart to eat.
Only Liao Yijiang ate sweetly, and a bowl of white rice was not enough, so he added another bowl.
After dinner, Liao Yijiang said goodbye and left, and before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Nanxi: "Don't go to Anling by yourself, remember to call me, or let Sister Fen accompany you." ”
"I see." Nanxi responded to him and sent him out of the door.
Turning around, I saw Deng's mother sitting on the sofa, turning her head to look at the door, and seeing Nanxi turning around, she hurriedly sat up straight and looked at the TV.
Nanxi just couldn't see it, closed the door, walked back to the living room, and said to Deng's father and Deng's mother: "You watch TV, I won't accompany you, I'm a little tired, I want to go to bed early." ”
"Xiaoxi......" Mother Deng quickly got up, followed Nanxi, and entered her room, "This person named Liao Yijiang looks like he still hides Zhou Zheng...... Does he have a girlfriend? ”
"What? Is Auntie going to introduce him to a girlfriend? Nanxi asked rhetorically.
"It's not ...... I think he's courting you......" Mother Deng was stunned, and finally said her worries.
"Auntie, don't get me wrong, it's just a colleague...... Or maybe it's a friend, I've been working together for a long time, I'm more familiar, so I'm a little more casual. Nanxi explained.
"Oh......" Although Mother Deng didn't believe it, she couldn't say anything, so she changed the topic, "Xiaoxi, the doctor told us today, Jiaxiang's disease is not a big deal, and after the operation, it will not affect his future life......"
"That's for the best." Nanxi was not interested in this topic, so he replied lukewarmly.
Mother Deng was stunned, and she wanted to say something, but when she saw Nan Xiyi's happy appearance, she pursed her lips, only said good night, and went out.
Nanxi took a shower and lay down on the bed.
This noisy and chaotic day has finally passed, and the world has finally quieted down.
But her heart was not quiet.
When all the thoughts have receded, in her heart, there is a person who has been emerging, and this person is far away.
From the day she met him to the moment he suddenly left her, the pictures of the relationship between the two appeared in Nanxi's mind one by one.
She was thinking, for him, in addition to the identity of Deng Jiaxiang's ex-girlfriend, how much use value does she have? Is there any real heart in his affection for her, his affection for her occasionally?
In fact, she can't figure out these things even if she wants to, unless the person in question stands in front of her and answers her questions in person.
But she just couldn't help but think that it was not so much analyzing the authenticity of Lu Zaiyuan's feelings, but rather that she was simply thinking of Lu Zaiyuan in such a quiet night.
This longing saddened her, and she felt that she had a split personality, and she was suspicious of the man while she was in love with him.
She tossed and turned, her mind was full of Lu Yuanyuan, who couldn't sleep, and she was tormented to the point of going crazy. So she sat up, turned on the computer, checked her mailbox, and hoped that there would be new emails, emails from far away.
There are a lot of new emails in the mailbox, but they are all work emails, none of them are personal, and there are no messages from far away.
Although she was still disappointed, she looked at the computer screen, and tears couldn't stop flowing.
She sat there and wept silently for a while, so that she could not cry from sleep.
She couldn't sleep anyway, so she went through the work emails one by one. She thought: do everything she can and save time, she will have to go out tomorrow.
Although Anling belongs to City D, it takes more than an hour to drive out of the city and then to Anling County.
Once she goes, plus she talks to someone, it is estimated that she will not be able to go to the company on this day.
Thinking of this, after she took care of all the work, she also sent an email to her secretary Jin Nana, reminding her of a few things to do tomorrow. Then she turned off the computer and went to bed to turn off the lights.
I still can't sleep, my mind is full, and it's about to explode.
He was tumbling uncomfortably when the phone on the bedside table rang.
Nanxi was startled, sat up suddenly, lit the bedside lamp, and glanced at the alarm clock, three o'clock in the morning!
She picked up her phone and glanced at the number on it, completely unfamiliar. She was a little discouraged and felt that it should have been a harassing or scam call. But there was a glimmer of hope in her heart, that this call was the one she had been looking forward to all day.
She pressed the answer button and put the phone to her ear.
"Hello?" The phone was connected, but she didn't speak, the other party was a little anxious, and her voice was anxious in the depression.
But Nanxi still heard it, this is the voice of Lu Ziyuan.
Her heart jumped from her chest, almost out of her throat. Suddenly, she didn't know what to say, the person on the other end of the phone was familiar to her? Or is it unfamiliar? She was confused.
Lu Zaiyuan couldn't hear her voice, and became more and more anxious: "Hey? Xiaoshio? Why don't you speak? ”
She took a deep breath, swallowed hard, and said, "What do you want me to say?" I don't know what else to say to you. ”
"Xiaoxi ......" Lu Zaiyuan heard Nanxi's voice, relieved, and his speed of speech eased, "What's wrong with you?" You...... What did you hear? ”
"It's a long way to go, did you get my email? Don't play dumb! After a moment of panic, Nanxi calmed down and seriously started his temper, "I heard that it doesn't matter what you are, it doesn't matter who you are, I just want to quickly break up with you, please divorce me!" ”
"I didn't receive the email...... Lately, I've been inconvenient to answer phone calls and use computers...... But I promise you, it won't be long before I'll be back! You wait for me, and when I go back, it's up to you to beat or scold, okay? ”
Nanxi listened to him and heard the whizzing of cars passing around him.
She asked, "Where are you?" On the street? A public phone? What the hell is wrong with you? Is it dangerous? Can you tell me the truth once again? ”
At this time, Nanxi was still concerned about whether he was in danger, and Lu Zaiyuan was so moved that he sniffed: "I'm not in danger...... You don't have to worry, I'm really good, something ...... Wait for me to go back and I'll explain it to you! ...... small tide"
"Shut up!" Nanxi erupted, "Don't call me!" What are you calling for, but you won't say? Do you want to block me? Who are you? What is the relationship between you and Xin Ping? What the hell are you going to do? Why lie to me? ”
"Xiaoxi, I love you! I really, really love you! I promise you! At first, I deceived you, it was me who was wrong, and then I wanted to tell you, but I didn't dare to tell you, I didn't know how to explain it to you, I was afraid that if you knew the truth, you would leave me......"
At this point in the topic, Nanxi heard a sharp roar from the other end of the phone: "The road is far away!" ”
Immediately afterward, I heard Lu Zaiyuan exclaiming: "Ah! No! ”
Then, she heard a "bang", and she hurriedly shouted: "The road is far away!" The road is long! What happened to you? ”
There was no answer, the phone didn't hang up, but there was no one on the other end anymore.
Nanxi was so anxious that he jumped up from the bed, spun around on the ground, and kept calling Lu Zaiyuan's name. It wasn't until she finally made sure that there would be no more voices on the other end of the line that she hung up in frustration.
What happened to him? Is he in danger? Who made that roar? Where the hell is he?
Nanxi was like an ant on a hot pot, grabbing his hair and pacing back and forth in the house. 166 Reading Network
