Chapter I
"On that rainy night four years ago, the last little bit of love I had for that man was destroyed by his own hands.
Love someone to the extreme, and if you are not careful, you will hate this person to the extreme.
When we were young, we would love someone with all our might, but after a thousand sails, we will understand what kind of emotion is called eternity, and now I just hope that the future life will be peaceful. โ
Qiao Yun finished writing the last paragraph seriously, then closed the diary in his hand, which looked old, and carefully put it into the iron box on the side, and closed the lid.
Merely......
She lowered her eyes and quietly looked at the locked iron box in her hand, her long eyelashes moved, and finally she reached out and took the small lock on the table next to her and locked the iron box.
"Mom!" Suddenly, there was a crisp cry from the living room, and Qiao Yun immediately came back to his senses and walked out of the study.
In the living room, a little girl in a pink sports sweatshirt is struggling to drag a dining chair on a pair of pink bunny plush slippers.
"Qiao Xiaoqiao, what are you doing?" Seeing this, Qiao Yun hurriedly stepped forward to lift the chair and put it back in place for her, but the little girl raised her head and pouted at Qiao Yun, hugged her arm and said, "Mom, I'm going to get chopsticks, but you don't come out of the room......"
It turned out that the little girl was hungry.
Qiao Yun smiled lightly, reached out and touched her daughter's head, "Okay, okay, it's my mother's mistake, let's go eat now." โ
"Hmm!" When the little girl heard the food, she smiled, and her pink face was crowded with sweet smiles at this time.
This was supposed to be a very warm and harmonious scene, but it was broken by a sudden phone call.
Qiao Yun hung up the phone and looked at her daughter with an apologetic face, but before she could speak, the little girl had already dropped the spoon and took the lead in speaking: "Mom, if you have something to do, go and get busy, I will wait for you at home alone." โ
Qiao Yun looked at her sensible and well-behaved daughter, and felt a little uncomfortable, if it weren't for this little guy accompanying her in the past few years, she really didn't know how to survive.
While she was pondering, the little girl had already jumped out of the chair and trotted all the way into the room to bring Qiao Yun a coat and bag.
Qiao Yun's heart was warm and very touched.
She got dressed and walked to the door, and Qiao Xiaoqiao also pulled her small slippers and followed her to the door.
"Mom, be careful on the road." The little girl has always been sensible and considerate, every time she goes out, she will say so sweetly, Qiao Yun paused, squatted down and kissed the little girl's cheek and told again: "Mom will come back soon, you obediently finish eating and watch cartoons for a while, don't open the door to strangers, do you know?" โ
The little girl nodded like pounding garlic, her little expressions one after another, Qiao Yun was helpless, and touched her head again before changing her shoes and going out.
Outside, the lights are bright and neon.
Qiao Yun is a practicing lawyer who has just returned to work in the city.
The city carries many memories for her, some good and some bad, and she doesn't know why she suddenly chose to come back again, maybe just because she is used to the grass and trees of the city.
In a way, she's a nostalgic person.
The profession of a lawyer is very tiring and hard, especially when she is young and has few network resources, and every bit of work requires her to spend a lot of effort.
The one who called her just now was the daughter of the CEO of the company she recently represented, the little girl she had met a few times, she had just entered college, and she was a little rebellious and arrogant, but she was not a bad person.
Qiao Yun hurried to the police station, the little girl was competing with the police handling the case, and when she saw her, she rushed over and grabbed her and began to complain about the thrilling "war" just now.
The little girl's good sister was split, and the two little girls originally said that they would go to the bar together to block the woman, but who knew that a few words of discord would start a fight.
Qiao Yun could naturally imagine the scene of the woman's fight, especially the little girl standing in front of her at this time.
After appeasing the little girl, Qiao Yun got up and prepared to go to the other party for mediation. Who knew that as soon as she reached the door, she stopped abruptly because of the person who was coming towards her.
Time seems to stand still in an instant, and people who have been separated for four years meet again, this is the scene, Qiao Yun's strength is like being drained, and his hands and feet can't use any strength at all.
She originally thought that after four years of training, she would be able to control her love well, but the moment she saw Ye Chengyu, the original memories that had been sealed by her were like wild horses that had been unleashed, suddenly rushed into her mind, forcing her to recall them over and over again.
Those things that make her feel still... Painful memories.
"Are you Lu Lin's lawyer?"
It wasn't until he stood in front of her, with a handsome and extraordinary face that still had the familiar stiff and cold expression, that Qiao Yun suddenly came back to his senses, tried his best to stabilize his feelings, and nodded at him, and the corners of his mouth pulled an extremely indifferent and detached smile to hide the panic in his heart.
"Hello, I'm Qiao Yun." In the past few years, Qiao Yun has learned the most is bluffing, even if he is tormented in his heart, he can whitewash the peace on the surface and put a professional smile.
It's just that Ye Chengyu didn't seem to be touched by her smile, and his eyes when he looked at Qiao Yun were still cold and warm, just like back then.
"How does Lawyer Qiao want to solve it?"
Sure enough, he is a person who is used to controlling the overall situation, and as soon as he exits, he is like a rainbow.
It's just that the three words "Lawyer Qiao" that came out of his mouth still made her heart suddenly tighten.
Qiao Yun raised her eyebrows slightly, and after lowering her look, the two looked at each other, she smiled lightly, and replied unhurriedly: "I think you should also understand the situation, in the final analysis, both sides are responsible for tonight's matter, instead of making a fuss, it is better for everyone to take a step back and turn a big thing into a small matter, Mr. Ye, what do you see?" โ
Ye Chengyu pursed his lips and didn't make a sound, but when his deep black eyes looked at her, there was suddenly a little ripple.
Unlike then, she now has neat and capable short hair, a white shirt and a dark coat, and looks very professional.
Ye Chengyu's heart suddenly swelled with an inexplicable irritability, and he said impatiently: "What if I don't agree? โ
Qiao Yun's face sank when he heard this, and then he said, "Then how does Mr. Ye plan to solve it?" โ
"It's not a matter of how I say to solve it, it's mainly about your attitude, Lawyer Qiao." Ye Chengyu pulled his lips slightly, and his expression was very calm and he played Tai Chi with her.
This answer was a little unexpected, but a little unexpected, Qiao Yun couldn't quite grasp Ye Chengyu's mind from the beginning, he was unpredictable four years ago, and four years later, she looked at his face that barely changed and still couldn't guess what he was thinking at the moment.
Qiao Yun didn't want to have too much entanglement with him, especially since his eyes hadn't taken his eyes off her since the first second he saw her.
His gaze made her feel a strong discomfort.
"Mr. Ye, we are very sorry for today's incident, Lu Lin is still young and not very sensible, and besides, the young lady's injury is not very serious, it can be said that it is not even a slight injury, of course, if you think that you need to have an injury, together with the medical expenses required for that young lady's injury, we will bear it, but tonight's incident is not a glorious thing after all, and it doesn't seem to be good for that young lady's reputation, do you say?"
"You've thought it through."
Ye Chengyu couldn't hear the joy and anger at this point, Qiao Yun smiled indifferently, and said: "As lawyers, we naturally pursue the principle of 'taking people's money and โกโก', since the client needs us, of course we need to do our best to do things for her." โ
As she spoke, the delicate smile on her face did not immediately dissipate, and the face with delicate makeup was like a delicate peony flower at this moment, shaking Ye Chengyu's eyes in an instant.
For countless days and nights four years ago, she didn't apply powder, but now she has the same face, but she is so heavy that she can't see her original pure appearance at all.
This person, who had disappeared for four years, suddenly appeared in front of Ye Chengyu in this posture, and the anger on his face only appeared for a moment, and after a while, the feelings settled down again.
"I'll let the lawyer talk to you about this today." After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, Qiao Yun frowned deeply, and couldn't help but step forward quickly to block his way.
"Mr. Ye-" As soon as the words came out, Qiao Yun's heart tightened by his deep and burning gaze.
She subconsciously wanted to avoid his sight, but after thinking about it, since she chose to return to City C, it was inevitable to meet Ye Chengyu, why did she mind the past so much at this time, but after thinking about it, she also wanted to be able to be professional in front of Ye Chengyu, but how many couples in the world who were once very in love, but later broke up because of the man's split, can talk completely without guilt?
She wants to forget about the past, but it doesn't mean that this memory doesn't exist, especially since the person in front of her seems to be much calmer and less approachable than her.
"Mr. Ye, let's say it directly, how do you think this matter is solved today, it's not a big deal, if it really makes a big fuss, it will definitely not have a good impact, and besides, the young lady is said to be still a minor, and minors enter commercial entertainment venues, which is not a good thing."
Qiao Yun was a little displeased, his brows were furrowed deeply, and there was no smile on his face at this time.
She has encountered a lot of difficult parties, but Ye Chengyu is like this, she really feels that she doesn't need to give him a good face, and the result will not be bad in the end.
Sure enough, seeing that her attitude was gradually becoming stronger, Ye Chengyu didn't say anything else, he stared at her with heavy eyes, and only said after a while: "Forget about today's matter, if there is a next ......" He seemed to pause deliberately, Qiao Yun saw that his originally stiff and cold expression suddenly loosened a little.
"It's not that easy, Mr. Joe."
At the moment when he turned around, Qiao Yun suddenly saw his thin lips slightly raised, with a smile called "sarcasm" on his face.
