Chapter 123
Gently shaking his hands, Yunxi watched Charles turn around and leave with the photo, slowly sat back on the sofa, and quietly looked at the night outside the window alone, feeling lonely.
The neon shadows emitted patches of cold light in this cold night, and it seemed that everything had become silent. There were fewer passers-by walking around, and even the service staff in the hotel gradually stopped their busy pace.
She suddenly remembered a night a long time ago, it was also so cold, and it was also such a moonlit night with cold light, she leaned on Xiao Ran's arms, smiling with happiness on her face: "Today's birthday, what do you want to eat, I'll cook." ”
His smile is very elegant, and it is a warmth that is different from the nobility of the day. He glanced at her shallowly, and slowly imprinted a kiss mark on her forehead.
And then?
What happened later, it seems a little blurred.
"Trouble, a cup of freshly ground mocha."
She waved her hand, beckoned the waiter, and smiled quietly, under the light, her eyes seemed to be a circle of water. The waiter took the order in a daze, returned to the service desk, and looked at her blankly before waking up.
Ten minutes later, she rubbed the cup, slowly lowered her head, and smelled the fragrance on her lips, the fragrant mocha seemed to show some warmth in this bleak night.
Perhaps, because she hadn't thought of the name "Di Xiaoxia" for too long, or maybe she hadn't recalled the past for too long, she even forgot all the "sweet" memories that she could almost have in her mind.
Holding the porcelain cup, the bright white of Ren flashed in the light.
What about the rest of the day? What did she cook that night?
There seems to be nothing.
They still didn't ...... together that night.
He answered the phone and turned to leave the ...... in front of her.
She turned on the TV, stayed all night until dawn, and went to work the next day "in good spirits......
"Buzz-" The frequency of the vibration interrupted her train of thought at once, Yunxi looked down, saw the mobile phone she had set to vibrate when chatting with Charles, and looked up at the clock in the hall, it was almost eleven o'clock, who would call at this time?
Call alerts are confidential, and they don't show the region or the person's name.
Putting down the coffee, Yunxi changed his posture and leaned himself against the soft backrest behind his back, "Dad, why are you still in the office at this time?" "To have such a call reminder, the only thing she can do is her father's special office.
Yunxi turned his ankle and sighed softly, he hadn't gone home to rest at this time, and no one had reminded him.
"Everything is taken care of, and I will come to Shanghai tomorrow." A tired voice came from the other end of the phone. The voice seemed to have an innate elegance, but his voice seemed a little more worried around the quiet surroundings. Almost instantly, Yunxi could guess that the other party's shoulders, which were slowly loosening at the moment, were so stiff that they couldn't move.
"Grandpa's formalities have been completed?"
"The hospital has already made arrangements, and Shanghai has also said that there is no problem with recuperation in Beijing." He paused, "How's your handling of things at the company?" Although she is not very worried about her daughter being bullied outside, if the company that his wife has worked so hard to run is knocked to death by this girl, it is estimated that Zhang Cui will not be at peace when she comes back to recuperate.
"It's all taken care of. Don't worry, you won't have to come over tomorrow, I'll take my mother back to Beijing with my cousin. "Zhang's matter has already settled, she is too lazy to say anything, as long as Zhang Cui's body can recover now, it is more important than anything else.
Picking up the purse and taking the last sip of Mocha, she said lightly: "You also rest early and pay attention to your body." ”
Doodoooooo –
The moment the phone hung up, Leng Guoyi almost had an illusion.
This is not his daughter.
When will the little bully, who can bully college entrance examination students so much that they can't even go to school, be so caring?
However, this thought was only fleeting.
The next moment, I just felt extremely ridiculous.
Couldn't his daughter still be able to drop the bag?
After raising it for so many years, ...... it has finally begun to be sensible.
Before he knew it, his mouth had curled up.
When the secretary knocked on the door and came in, he looked at his rare smile in surprise, and was a little confused for a while, looking at the thick pile of information on the table, he couldn't help sighing, and he had to remind him again: "Chief, it's not early, you should go back and rest." ”
It's just that, unexpectedly, this time, his usually hard-tempered leader actually picked up his coat and closed the computer very obediently.
"Let's go," .......
The night was thick, but the secretary saw that his face had a rare peace of mind and comfort in recent days.
==
After repeatedly thanking the doctor and asking what should be paid attention to on the way, Yunxi pushed her mother down the elevator after thanking the doctor again and again.
In the distance, I saw a handsome figure standing downstairs smoking, his expression was a little blurred, as if there was a touch of loneliness rising quietly under the blue sky, slowly turning into a repeated abruptness, and finally gradually becoming a mourning.
His back seems to be a little lonely, but his tall body makes people feel convincing.
Unconsciously, it seems that the wound that used to be has suppurated.
A qiē will slowly recover, the problem is just time......
The back of her hand was suddenly gently patted twice, Yunxi lowered her head, and her mother was looking at her with a shallow smile: "You go and talk to him, I have a cold voice here." ”
Leng Yan took the wheelchair handle, only raised his eyebrows and glanced at Qi Zhan in the distance, then lowered his head and smiled sideways: "Auntie, Qi Zhan's conditions are not bad, you can't look at it?" ”
Zhang Cuifei rolled his eyes: "Don't be blind and join in the fun!" "It doesn't matter if she likes it or not, the key is whether Yunxi can like it or not.
Yes, the whole family spoils this little girl.
Leng Wei pushed the wheelchair and couldn't help but tease: "Everyone is patriarchal, why is my family so patriarchal?" "No matter what, he is also the only male, but he doesn't look very good every time.
"Load! Keep loading! Do you want your aunt to buy a bottle of sour vinegar for you? Zhang Cui looked at him playfully.
Shut up coldly, chuckled, and put her in the car as if she were serving Lafayette.
Yunxi walked up to Qi Zhan, gently took the cigarette in his hand, leaned lazily against the tree, and looked at him quietly with cloudy eyes: "Your company has been in the limelight recently, why do you still look listless?" ”
"Business can't be done," Qi Zhan took the cigarette back in her hand and casually pressed it against the sink on the trash can next to her, with a crisp sound, the slowly rising smoke dissipated instantly. "Besides, cooperating with a company like Xiao's is supposed to be a twelve-point spirit."
In the shopping mall, it is not cooperation or friendship, many times, just after the cooperation ends, the businessman who finds out the details of the partner can turn around and make a hostile acquisition or annexation, this kind of thing he has seen and done himself.
Xiao Ran? How can this kind of character be a simple partner?
It's just seeking skin with the tiger and seeking profit in danger.
Yunxi chuckled, this person is terrifyingly calm, recently Shanghai has been boiling over by the cooperation between the two companies, he is still like a nobody, he has completely calmed down, and his heart is calm and everything is very clear.
"Where's Zhan Wenlan? Why didn't he accompany you when you came to Shanghai this time? Seeing the light smile on Yunxi's face, he frowned, and suddenly remembered the moment he met Xiao Ran in the restaurant last night.
Her reaction was too cold and too casual.
There is no curiosity about the man who is rumored to be a "god" in the business world.
That kind of laughter is too calm and too free, but this in itself is an abnormal thing.
She seemed to have long been accustomed to that sense of oppression, and seemed to be immune to this astonishing temperament.
In front of Qiē, they all became bland.
There seem to be more and more mysteries on her body, which are difficult to see and can't see through......
In the end, what happened to Yunxi after she left Shanghai, it seems that since she accidentally fell into the pool and she had a nervous breakdown, her whole temperament has changed......
Although there were all kinds of doubts in his heart, he couldn't help but secretly pay attention to Yunxi's reaction.
The man who saw Yunxi for the first time on his birthday party would let her come to Shanghai alone?
Hearing the name of "Zhan Wenlan", Yunxi didn't react a little, he asked Zhan Wenlan what to do? Then I remembered that when Qi Zhan said goodbye to her in Beijing, Zhan Wenlan was punched hard by him, and later the wound was seen, and there were rumors for a while.
"I don't know where he is." Yunxi shrugged his shoulders and glanced up at the weather. Although it is still wet and cold, the wind and sun are beautiful today, and the sky is cloudless, which makes people feel comfortable to watch.
On days like this, her mother would have less trouble on the road.
"You're not curious?" Qi Zhan frowned, Zhan Wenlan suddenly disappeared, she didn't even react?
Yunxi didn't answer, just looked at him, his eyes were lazy.
Zhan Wenlan is an independent person, what does it have to do with her where he goes? Or did he think that they were already in a relationship between men and women?
Sneered: "You're thinking too much." ”
Suddenly, a hand on her head gently stroked her hair, and there was a faint sigh above her head, and she didn't know whether it was melancholy or sympathy: "The person who falls in love with you is probably the most pitiful person in the world." ”
A woman like the wind, her heart, who can find it?
Is this saying that she is too cold-blooded?
Yunxi raised his eyebrows, glanced at his watch, and smiled regretfully: "I will board the plane in an hour, if you have any other sighs, you might as well say it all at once." ”
He came to the hospital to wait for her, it should be more than just to see her off.
With a flash of dark mist under her eyes, she chuckled, slowly moved away from the tree, and looked closer to him.
Only one step away, it seems that breath can reach the other party's ears, looking at this pair of aura eyes, Qi Zhan's heart is slightly astringent, in the end, it is still back to the topic: "Xiao Ran and you are old acquaintances?" ”
"I've seen it once." It turned out to be for him......
Yunxi lightly met Qi Zhan's eyes: "Xiao Ran was abroad when the energy bidding case was won by Jinmao International, and when he returned to China, our dean invited him to give a speech at the school." At the Centennial Lecture Hall, we met once. ”
Have you only seen it once? But why, he always felt that Yunxi's eyes were so cold when he looked at him, and that kind of chilling sneer almost emanated from his bones.
"He seems to be interested in you." Thinking of the expression on Xiao Ran's face last night, he couldn't help but speak.
Regardless of status, status, that person has reached the top. Yunxi may not be infatuated with him, but this does not affect the other party's call for wind and rain in the business circle. What about the gathering of the Chamber of Commerce at the end of the year, if I am not mistaken, all the members of the Chamber of Commerce are looking forward to Xiao Ran.
What kind of scene will it be ...... then?
"Are you worried about me?" Yunxi paused, held his forehead, and glanced at him with a light smile: "Still think I will lose in his hands?" ”
Qi Zhan pursed his lips and exhaled softly, without speaking.
The atmosphere seemed a little cold.
He didn't say anything, but anyone who was a little sane understood that at least, with the current strength behind her and Xiao Ran, there was no suspense about winning or losing.
She won the Xiao family, but it was the Xiao family's ...... without Xiao Ran.
Olympia without a "god" is just an ordinary city, but with a "god", the Xiao clan, it is no longer an ordinary company ....... The other party was surprised by the business world, and when she was alone, she was just a child.
"Since you're so worried about me, and you're afraid that the Xiao clan will backlash," Yunxi patted him lightly on the shoulder: "I have a way to kill two birds with one stone." ”
Qi Zhan looked at her with some surprise: "What do you mean?" ”
There was a vibration on the phone, and it seemed that a text message had arrived.
Yunxi turned on her phone, and Leng Xun was already urging her. Then he glanced at the time again, and indeed, if he didn't leave, he wouldn't be able to catch the plane.
"I'll talk about it when I get back." Putting away his phone, Yunxi waved his hand in the direction of Leng Xuan, "I'll come back after the New Year, and when the time comes, we'll talk again." ”
Qi Zhan followed her line of sight, and Zhang Cui, who had a gentle face, was smiling at him, and he didn't know why, but he was a little flattered. Thinking of Yunxi's father's expression when he saw him that day, he felt a little more complicated in his heart.
"Be careful on the road, help me talk to my aunt, and wish her a speedy recovery." Stroking the ends of her hair at the end, he smiled, stepped back, turned, and strode away.
Sometimes, now that you've decided to let go, don't get attached anymore.
As she said, you can't be lovers, at least, they will be friends, the most intimate friends......
"What did you say to Qi Zhan?" As soon as he got in the car, Leng Xun looked at him with a strange face, looking like he couldn't understand. Qi Zhan's posture has completely given up pursuing his cousin?
It's only been a few days, huh?
The person who rushed to the ward that day, how could he think about it in the blink of an eye?
Yunxi sighed, the famous playboy in the circle, the rebellious and promising grandson of her family, in some aspects, I have to say, is not as good as Qi Zhan.
"What are you pretending to be deep, asking you something?" Leng Xun remembered that Qi Zhan had come to his house to propose to Yunxi at that time, and he really couldn't understand the dumb riddle played by the two in front of him.
"Cousin." Yunxi took Zhang Cui's hand and smiled at her, but his words were to someone who was driving: "Your words are too much." ”
“……。” Leng Wei was so angry with her!
Damn, if this is an irrelevant person, see if he can't smoke a dead girl!
Zhang Cui looked at the cold face like a palette on the side, laughed sullenly, and quickly turned his face, even Uncle Li, who was driving in the driver's seat, the corners of his mouth could rise a few arcs.......
It took a lot of trouble when I got on the plane, but fortunately, after communication, it was solved quickly. When they arrived in Beijing, it was evening, and the person who picked them up was waiting early.
When he returned to the cold house, he saw that the old man and his father were there, and stepped forward to give each of them a hug.
Sister-in-law Li rushed to her mother at once, her eyes were full of tears, but she endured it, not a drop fell, she kept choking, and looked at Zhang Cui, "Madam, you scared me to death......"
Yunxi stepped forward and patted her on the back: "Sister-in-law Li, my mother is not good, don't worry, ah." I cooked something good at night, and I could smell it from afar. ”
Sister-in-law Li couldn't help but glance at her, and when the tears in the corners of her eyes came, she couldn't help but laugh on her face: "Little ancestor, prepare a pot of black fish soup, drink more with your wife at night, and watch you go to Shanghai to lose weight." ”
"Is there one?" Leng Xun looked back at Yunxi, isn't this good, where did you lose weight?
"Don't believe Sister-in-law Li, she says this every time she sees me, if that's the case, I can float to the sky." Yunxi tugged at Sister-in-law Li's palm, with a shallow anger on her face, so pure that people couldn't take their eyes off.
"It's good to come back, go upstairs to change your clothes, and wait for the dinner to come." In the end, it was the old man who opened his mouth.
Yunxi glanced at her father, who was standing beside her mother, and a gentle smile gradually bloomed in her eyes, indeed, it was time to leave some space for them.
I came up, went into the room, took a shower, changed into comfortable clothes, and when I went downstairs, it was already dark.
A table of dishes has already been served hot.
Through the blooming flowers on the dining table, she looked at her mother's face with a soft smile.
Many days ago, in the dark and gloomy night, she looked at her warmly like this, clapping her hands all the time, and whispered: "Yunxi, mom is here, mom has been ......here all the time." ”
==
The next day, when he got up and got dressed, the first thing Yunxi did was to call Lao Jin and ask about the school.
Lao Jin seemed to have already gotten up, and he was not surprised at all when he received her call, nor did he ask her what happened to her sudden disappearance, with a rare coldness in his voice.
Yunxi was a little surprised, "What's wrong?" ”
"You've been out of Beijing lately?" Lao Jin was a little surprised, didn't he go to Jinmao International?
"No, I went to Shanghai."
"No wonder I don't know." This time, her voice was a little low: "It's not clear on the phone, if you're okay, you might as well go back to school as soon as possible." ”
Yunxi was a little confused about the meaning of her words, looked at the time, it was almost eight o'clock, there was still some time before their first class, thought about it, and put on a dress: "I'll come over now." ”
Drove to school, parked the car in a fixed garage, and when she entered the school gate, unexpectedly, the doorman stopped her, "Classmate, please show your student ID." ”
Yunxi was surprised. When the leader comes to inspect or give a speech, the door inspection is like this, what is wrong today?
Her student ID was placed in the dormitory, and she didn't bring it out, and she was about to make a call to ask Lao Jin or Xiaobai to send it over, when two people had already appeared at the gate: "Master, I'm sorry, she forgot to bring her student ID." After that, he handed Yunxi's student ID card over, "This is our roommate, and we are both from the business school." ”
The doorman looked at the student ID and carefully compared the photos before letting him go.
Yunxi lowered his head and took the student ID, with a rare surprise on his face. She's only been gone for ten days, what happened?
Lao Jin and Xiaobai quickly sandwiched her in the middle, shook their heads, and signaled not to ask anything at the moment.
When she entered the dormitory, Xiaobai suddenly took out an outdated newspaper and put it in front of her: "The school has been relatively tight recently, just in case, you still don't miss class recently." ”
Yunxi was stunned when she saw the headline in the newspaper, and then she understood why she was away for so many days, and no one cared about her.
Right now, I'm afraid that from the principal to the students, there is no one who is not frightened and full of dark clouds, how can they have time to care about her .......
"What happened at school?" Anyone would do such a thing at B University?
"Well, after the evening self-study, in the grass behind the library, someone found her body." Lao Jin squinted, turned his head and sighed, "When I found out, I was already out of breath, and there was still a knife stuck in my body, which pierced my liver, and I was strangled by my throat, and I died a miserable death." ”
Yunxi was stunned, looked at Situ Bai in disbelief, and saw that she was looking pale, biting her lip, and silent.
"Haven't found out who did it yet?"
Lao Jin shook his head, this matter has been spread all over Beijing recently, fortunately, the school spirit has always been steady, and there is some meaning on the top, so the media did not dig deeper, otherwise, I really dare not imagine......
"Which hospital is the person who caused the accident?" Is it a personal grudge or a coincidence? How could a good schoolgirl be abused and killed like this, it is simply incredible.
"It's from the Academy of Fine Arts, and the media doesn't want to get into a lawsuit, so they didn't publish the photos." I heard that the man just came to the library to check some information, and he rarely came to their business school, so who knows, he encountered such a thing.
The girl from Shenyang is extremely beautiful, there is such a daughter in the family, she has always been the treasure in the hands of two old men, and she died so unexplained that she couldn't even keep the body, and I heard that she would be dragged to the autopsy.
Old Jin sighed and stopped talking.
Yunxi always felt that something was wrong, but what was weird that she couldn't say?
Putting down the newspaper and thinking for a while: "Is there anyone holding a memorial service for her?" ”
Lao Jin nodded: "Her parents have rushed over, and they have been arguing a lot recently, and they have been asking the school to give an explanation." A memorial service was organized spontaneously in her class, and it was tonight. ”
Yunxi snorted and didn't speak again.
Situ Bai frowned and kept looking at her, as if he had something to say, but he couldn't bear to say it.
Yunxi looked at Lao Jin suspiciously, and saw that she was actually ignoring it, as if she hadn't seen anything.
It's strange, it's the first time I've seen them react like this. Did something happen?
"Say what you want, she'll have to know sooner or later anyway." Situ Bai hesitated for a long time, biting his mouth, his eyes full of hesitation, in the end, it was Lao Jin's words, which directly cut off her back road.
Looking at Yunxi's puzzled eyes, Situ Bai's anger that he had endured for a long time finally broke out all of a sudden: "Yunxi, do you know where Zhan Wenlan is now?" ”
Yunxi snorted and laughed out loud.
What the hell is going on today? Why did anyone ask her such a question? Qi Zhan is like this, and so are Situ Bai and Lao Jin.
The two of them looked at her with a relaxed smile and a little slurred: "You...... You know it all? ”
"Know what?" Yunxi waved his hand, and the shock and pity when he saw the news in the newspaper just now diluted a lot, and he looked up at the two roommates with bright eyes, and couldn't help but smile.
"Zhan Wenlan went to Harvard in the United States!" Situ Bai gritted his teeth, looking like "since you know, you still pretend to know nothing"!
